Chapter 202 Chapter 202 What are you doing?
Not only did he not eat properly on his wedding day, but he also came up to ask for a scolding. Xu Yunfan was kind-hearted and was sure to fulfill the other person's wish.
Qin Run put down his chopsticks in displeasure. Xu Yunfan's expression remained unchanged. He patted the back of Qin Run's hand and motioned him to sit properly. He looked so gentle, but when he turned his head to face others, his words were sharp and merciless: "Brother, are you mentally ill? What's the matter? Did your mother or your little father forget to give you a brain when they gave birth to you? My kissing with other boys and girls is indeed immoral, but my intimacy with my husband is all reasonable and legal. We exchanged a few words in broad daylight, in public, under the open sky. Even the current emperor couldn't find any fault. Who are you? You speak so harshly? You act like an unwanted husband. What did our husband and I do to you? You don't have to look at it if you don't want to. Who told you to look at it?"
Xu Yunfan started talking non-stop, like a laser gun shooting, leaving no room for the guy with the grim expression to interrupt.
The Great Yan Dynasty was not as strict with women and men as other dynasties. He saw it when he was staking out outside General Qin's mansion. In the capital, there were women shopping with men, whispering with men, and chatting and laughing with men. From this, it seemed that the people here were still very open-minded. They took things that others did seriously. How could it be considered immoral and shameless for a couple registered under the same household to do something like that?
This is bullying.
The guy blushed and glared at Xu Yunfan. Xu Yunfan's voice was neither loud nor soft, but the people nearby heard it clearly and even looked over.
"You...how can you curse at me? Do you have any manners left?"
"You can curse, so why can't I? Is cursing just your privilege? If I curse back, I'm considered rude. My manners depend on the person I'm with, okay? I don't know how you got the nerve to say I'm rude. You were the one who cursed us first. You have no manners at all."
Every time someone said something, Xu Yunfan would reply with a few words, sounding a bit unreasonable.
Xu Yunfan really had no intention of letting anyone off the hook.
He will try to make some money even if he is being unreasonable, so why should he show mercy when he is being right?
They were enjoying their meal, but now because of this person's inexplicable words, they became the center of attention. Damn it, their good mood was ruined.
How could Xu Yunfan not be angry?
"Young master, please forgive him when you can. He is just a boy. Why do you have to be so picky with him?" The man who spoke was polite and had a kind heart.
The guys sitting next to him nodded in agreement, obviously agreeing with what the man said.
Xu Yunfan ignored him and only asked Qi Xiu Ze, "Who is that guy? And who is that man?"
Qi Xiu Ze: "The former is Zhao Niansheng, the younger brother of the Zhao family. As for the man you mentioned, it's Pu Yichen. Their father is only a fourth-rank official, but Zhao Niansheng's mother is Jing Ye Ze's sister, so Zhao Niansheng is Jing Ye Ze's nephew. I heard that he is very well-cared for by General Qin. Everyone says that this is because General Qin loves his son and his people."
Zhao Niansheng was scolded by Xu Yunfan. He sat there and "looked" at Xu Yunfan fiercely, but in the eyes of others, he looked pitiful.
After living for more than ten years, this was the first time that Zhao Niansheng met such an unmannerly young master. Bah, calling him a young master was an exaggeration. This guy was just a country boy who married into the family. He was not any of the young masters who could come to the banquet tonight. How could he know what manners were?
The reason why Zhao Niansheng spoke out was mainly because he was unhappy with Qin Run.
He actually looked no different from the other brothers, small and delicate, but his parents kept nagging him, always asking why he couldn't grow taller and stronger. If he did, he would definitely be loved more by General Qin, and maybe General Qin would be his backer in the future.
But Zhao Niansheng didn't look like General Qin. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Qin Feiyu did favor him a bit, but they were not close enough.
Everyone knows that the deputy general's child adopted by Qin Feiyu before, that child was only a few years old, but he grew taller and stronger than the other brothers. Qin Feiyu loved him like the apple of his eye. Not to mention taking him wherever he went, but he definitely provided him with supplements and delicious food. Obviously the child grew taller and stronger than his peers, but Qin Feiyu seemed to think it was not enough. He raised the child with great care, and the treatment he received was even better than that of a prince. Sometimes Qin Feiyu took the child with him when he went out. Obviously he was seven or eight years old, but Qin Feiyu seemed to love the child to the bone. When he looked at the child and kissed the child, his eyes were incredibly gentle, which was completely different from the feared god of war on the battlefield.
Zhao Niansheng is Jing Yezhe's nephew. Qin Feiyu has never had any children of his own, and his adopted son was lost. For various reasons, Qin Feiyu treats Zhao Niansheng differently.
There were only two points of difference, but Zhao Niansheng's status rose sharply. I wonder how many guys envied him.
With General Qin as his backing, if General Qin's offspring encounter difficulties in the future, his nephew Zhao Niansheng will be in great trouble.
When Zhao Niansheng came to the dinner party tonight and saw the tall and strong guy at the next table, he felt displeased at first sight, and even felt a sense of unease, so he disliked Qin Run.
What made him even more unhappy was that the brother sitting next to Qi Xiu Ze deserved Qi Xiu Ze's special treatment. Several times, he couldn't reach a dish that was farther away, and Qi Xiu Ze considerately stood up and swapped the dish with other dishes. Several other times, the cup in front of the brother was empty, and Qi Xiu Ze considerately poured him a glass of warm water.
Why?
How could a married man receive such meticulous care from Qi Xiu Ze? He had been thinking about Qi Xiu Ze for several years, but this man never even looked at him.
What he didn't expect was that for every word he said, Xu Yunfan would retort him ten times. It was a pity that he was a teacher, but he really had no manners at all.
Xu Yunfan was stared at by a stranger and raised his eyebrows. "What's wrong with you, brother? Am I not a human being? Do I not need to be responsible for what I said? What? Is this the privilege of being a brother? Who gave you this right? Am I so petty? Who are you to accuse me of something? What did I do wrong? What? Are you attracted to him?"
After hearing what Xu Yunfan said, some other young masters felt that it made sense. Yes, what's wrong with brother? Even if you are the weaker party, you can't curse others for no reason!
They can't get involved in this matter, otherwise, they might get into trouble.
Pu Yichen's face flushed. He was a man with a fiancée, and if Xu Yunfan's words got to his fiancée's ears, what would happen? He quickly scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? I just couldn't bear to see you bullying a fellow like that, so I spoke up for him. How can you slander me so casually? I already have a fiancée, and what if you do this... and cause misunderstandings? You must apologize to me."
Xu Yunfan said calmly, "So it's not true. Then just treat it as a misunderstanding. Oh, it's all just a misunderstanding. Why do you have to apologize? You're a man, be more generous. Why bother to be so petty? Where's your demeanor? You can't be so hypocritical. You're afraid your fiancée will misunderstand you, so you're angry. I'm being scolded by my husband, so shouldn't I be angry? I'm angry, and you say I'm ungracious. Then, aren't you even more ungracious than me?"
Park Yichen: “…”
Damn, this statement actually makes some sense, it's impossible to refute it.
The younger generations all sat on this side, and the other elders sat on the other side. The Qi family made such arrangements with the intention that when the elders were not around, the younger generations at the tables would naturally feel more relaxed. But they forgot that when the elders were not around, for some children, it was like the monkey taking over as the tiger was not at home.
Everyone is equal. This is the concept Xu Yunfan has accepted since he was a child. His brother said, no matter who the other party is, if someone respects me a little, I will respect him a lot. On the contrary, if anyone dares to provoke him, no matter who you are, I will just fight you. Xu Yunfan can't do it because he has the Xu family behind him.
Even though the Xu family is not around now, Xu Yunfan must not suffer this loss. Once he suffers this loss, people will think that he is easy to bully and will take advantage of him.
"Haha..." Qi Xiu Ze and the others laughed. Xie Baizhou patted Xu Yunfan on the shoulder. "You're right, kid. We're just having a good meal. Who did you offend? Why do you deserve to be scolded for nothing? You're picking on people at their birthday party. Are you trying to cause trouble or are you trying to express your dissatisfaction with the dinner?"
Zhao Niansheng's face turned pale and blue at the insinuation. If someone else said this to him, he would have slammed the table, but the person who said this happened to be the young master of the Zuo Xiang family.
Zhao Niansheng pursed his lips in grievance and looked at Qi Xiu Ze aggrievedly, "Brother Xiu Ze, you just..." Are you just going to watch me being bullied?
Xu Yunfan got goosebumps all over his body because of this aggrieved and pretentious voice.
"You were wrong first, Zhao Niansheng. They are my friends. You are saying bad things about them in front of me. Are you giving me face?" Qi Xiu Ze had a stern face, which was different from his usual cheerful look. He looked intimidating without even being angry. It was not difficult to tell from his cold tone that he was angry.
Zhao Niansheng's heart skipped a beat, and he stammered, "I was just... in a bad mood, and I lost control of my words. Brother Xiu Ze, don't be angry. I really didn't mean it. Maybe I've been so blunt with Uncle Qin over the years that I've gotten used to it."
Xu Yunfan smelled the scent of green tea when he heard this.
Zhao Niansheng didn't mention Qin Feiyu before, but he chose to mention Qin Feiyu at this time. Everyone knew his intention clearly.
Qin Run looked up at the young man in luxurious brocade clothes. Looking at his fair and tender face and the back of his hands, he knew at a glance that he was a noble young man who had never touched water.
Looking at others and then looking at yourself, the loser will inevitably feel embarrassed and inferior.
Qin Run's hand under the table turned half a circle.
Even though he hasn't done much farm work recently, the scars of varying sizes on his right index finger are extremely noticeable.
These scars were caused by him accidentally cutting pig food when he was ten years old. Even after a few years, these scars still follow him like a shadow, reminding him all the time how he got through the past few years.
Well, it’s good to have someone protecting you, unlike him, who has to grit his teeth and persevere in everything. However, now that he has Xu Yunfan, other things seem to become less important.
Qin Run raised his head and said bluntly, "The indulgence of your elders is no excuse for your unbridled speech. We are not General Qin, and we have no responsibility or obligation to tolerate you. You just said that my husband and I are shameless. Can you just let it go by being careless? Being outspoken is not unbridled. Don't you, a young master, even understand this?"
"Did you hear that? Don't bring up General Qin. Even though General Qin is here today, you still have to apologize. Otherwise, your Zhao family, please leave immediately." Qi Xiu Ze pointed directly outside the restaurant door.
The young masters and young ladies present were silent.
At a time like this, why not be the first to stick your head out? Wouldn't it be better to just watch the fun quietly?
It can be seen that Qi Xiu Ze is protecting Xu Yunfan and his wife.
Zhao Niansheng had never suffered such a great injustice. At this time, Qi Xiuyuan, who was receiving guests on the other side, came over and noticed that the atmosphere was not right. Qi Xiuyuan looked around and asked, "What's going on?"
"Second Brother Qi, the young master of the Zhao family is so arrogant. We were eating well here. I don't know where he got the temper from and scolded Yunfan and Run'er..." Lin Xiaoran was quite professional in making the report.
"Master Zhao, is this true?"
Qi Xiuyuan glanced at the guy with red eyes who was stubbornly refusing to bow his head and tears in his eyes. To be honest, many men like Zhao Niansheng's type, but he felt nothing at all. He even thought that Zhao Niansheng was really bad. The people who were scolded didn't cry, but he, who was scolding others, started crying first. Who was he trying to mislead?
Anyway, his heart is as clear as a mirror, and he is not tempted by beauty. "Since Young Master Zhao looks down on our distinguished guest from the Qi family, he must also look down on our Qi family. In this case, our Qi family will not force anyone. Young Master Zhao, please come in."
Zhao Niansheng: "..."
Zhao Niansheng's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what he heard.
If Qi Xiu Ze asked him to leave, Zhao Nian Sheng would think that Qi Xiu Ze was just saying that out of anger. After all, Qi Xiu Ze was still a student in the Qi family and he didn't have the qualifications yet.
But if it is Qi Xiuyuan, who is already in charge of the Qi family's business in the southeast region, there is no doubt that this person is definitely qualified.
Zhao Niansheng ran out crying. The "good sisters" sitting at the same table with him wanted to chase him but didn't dare to. They could only continue eating and wait for their elders to come and call them back.
Originally, these young people gathered here to socialize and expand their network of contacts. However, after the incident with Zhao Niansheng, some people gave up the idea, because Zhao Niansheng had General Qin behind him.
Although General Qin would not quarrel with the Qi family over the affairs of the younger generation, it is possible that Zhao Niansheng would bear a grudge against them and make some rumors about them.
Sometimes, so-called socializing and making friends are just choices made after weighing the pros and cons.
But after this incident, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xu Yunfan and the Xu family were more than just friends of Qi Xiu Ze.
"How's it going? Didn't you get hurt?" Qi Xiuyuan pulled a stool over and sat casually aside. He then said to Qin Run, "If there is any, don't take it to heart. Just treat it as bullshit."
Qin Run smiled and said, "I know, he's just an insignificant person. Don't worry, Brother Qi, I won't take it to heart."
"That's right. By the way, Yunfan, are our fireworks ready?" He and the eldest brother had been busy the past two days and hadn't been able to help with the fireworks arrangement. "When do you plan to set them off? The old man is getting old and gets tired quickly."
Qi Xiu Ze had previously told Xu Yunfan about Grandpa Qi's schedule, so they wouldn't set off the fireworks too late, and it was scheduled for nine o'clock.
At nine o'clock, everyone had eaten their fill and drunk enough.
"Don't worry, second brother. We've already set the time. Has Grandpa finished eating? You and your eldest brother will bring Grandma over later. Let's go up to the third floor so we can see clearly."
"Okay, then I'll take them directly to the third floor, and I'll take care of it for you from now on." After leaving a word, Qi Xiuyuan left.
Originally, the Qi family's old man's 60th birthday party was not a big one. Everyone just had a meal, and there was no singing and dancing like other banquets, or any small performances such as inviting people to sing. Therefore, the young men and women present had decided that they would go out for a walk after the meal, but after hearing what Qi Xiuyuan said just now, it seemed that the younger generations had prepared a surprise.
"Hey, my dad is calling me, do you want to go?" No one came over to get close to Qi Xiu Ze and the others, but that didn't mean that they didn't chat a few words in private.
Look, after the meal, the young men have become almost brothers. Just like the young lady, they have to call their friends to go to the toilet. If one of them is about to leave, he will not forget to ask the people around him if they want to leave, and then they will go together.
"Wait a moment, I want to see what birthday gift Xu Yunfan prepared for Mr. Qi." If Qi Xiuyuan hadn't asked that question, they wouldn't have cared. But Qi Xiuyuan asked it anyway. Just think about it, could the thing that made the second young master of the Qi family care so much and come to ask in person be just an ordinary thing?
No matter how curious others are, they are curious anyway.
"Yeah, don't you want to watch? Why go back so quickly?" Anyway, going back is just to have fun, and it's another kind of fun here, the same.
"That's right. It doesn't cost any money. I heard that Xu Yunfan is a teacher at Qinghe Academy. But that's not the most interesting thing. I heard that he's from overseas. Have you ever met someone from overseas?"
"You've never seen people from overseas, but now you've seen one?" The young master who spoke secretly glanced at Xu Yunfan and whispered, "Actually, they're no different from us. I heard that people have seen people from overseas before, and their eyes were blue, and their hair was yellow. In short, they were different from us, and you could tell at a glance. But if you hadn't told me about this guy I saw today, I really wouldn't have guessed he was from overseas."
“It’s a little different actually.”
"What's different?"
"Didn't you see it just now? She's very tall. A person like me would only reach her earlobes."
"What's the big deal? He's tall, and so is his husband. Don't forget, his husband is from our Great Yan Dynasty."
"Yes, yes, that's why overseas people are really no different from us."
"Can you please listen to me? When I said he came from overseas, the point wasn't to show you how he's different from us, but rather to ask if he could have brought something as a birthday gift that's available overseas but not in our Great Yan Dynasty?"
"What is available overseas that we in the Great Yan Dynasty don't have?"
"Look at the way you ask this question. If you ask me, who should I ask?"
"Hehe..." Xu Yunfan laughed grimly, and several young masters turned around and looked over.
These young masters spoke in low voices at first, but then they got excited and their voices gradually became louder. Xu Yunfan couldn't help but find it funny when he heard what they said.
He supported his face with one hand, his eyebrows curved with a smile, "Young masters, since you are so curious, you can stay and take a look. It will be very interesting."
Also! ? ?
The young masters shuddered all over, feeling a sudden fear as if their souls had left their bodies and then returned.
They turned around with a bit of fear, wiped their faces and thought to themselves.
no the same.
It's really different.
This young man from overseas is actually very different from them.
Have you ever seen someone who looks ordinary but can captivate people with just a smile?
No.
In the past, when Xiao Heng had not yet been poisoned and was still at the peak of his appearance, his smile could at most make people feel like they were in the spring breeze, but Xu Yunfan was completely superior.
It was so scary. Xu Yunfan smiled at them just now. My goodness, why did their hearts beat uncontrollably?
The curvature of those curved eyes is just right and beautiful.
Could this person have some kind of magic or something that can charm people?
When a man smiled at them, their hearts beat faster, and the young masters were so scared that they didn't dare to look at him for even a second.
Shen Ruxi opened her folding fan with a swish, the corners of her mouth raised, as if she was trying to hold back a laugh, and said to Xu Yunfan, "That's enough, stop being so naughty."
Xu Yunfan seemed distressed: "How can I say this? Oh, it's all my fault for this damn charm that I have nowhere to put it. Sometimes it makes me so upset. I really was just smiling at people in a friendly way!"
"Don't give me that. Do you really think this is the first day we met?" Lin Xiaoran kicked Xu Yunfan. "You're already married, why are you smiling at other people?"
"I don't like what you're saying. So what if I have a husband? Does having a husband mean I have no freedom and can't smile at other people? Besides, they are still men."
"Yunfan, time is almost up." Qin Run pinched Xu Yunfan's face, "Stop talking, have you asked them to be ready?"
"Well, everything has been ordered. When the time comes, set off the fireworks on time. Are you still not trusting me to do my job well?" Xu Yunfan took the hand that was pinching his face and kissed the back of it. He said, "Let's go up to the third floor and take a look. This time, I have prepared a lot of fireworks. It will be very beautiful."
