Chapter 312 Chapter 312 This guy might be a gigolo...
Zhaji glanced at Qin Run and took a step forward. "You must be the Shopkeeper Qin of the Food City, right? I've heard of your great name for a long time. Seeing is believing. You can tell at first glance that you're a rare talent."
It has been a few days since Zhaji came to Dayan Dynasty. He has heard of the Food City, which is the favorite place for people in Beijing to visit, and he has been there himself. I have to say that there are so many delicious and fun things in the Food City. He also wanted to get to know the owner of the Food City, but he had no way.
The reason why the Demon family was able to come to the Dayan Dynasty to do business was, firstly, that the two countries had established foreign trade for a long time, and secondly, the second princess of the Demon family, that is, Zhali's mother, had connections in the Dayan Dynasty, so she was able to open up this trade route.
However, Young Master Deng, who had acted as a bridge for them, was not in the capital, and Old Master Deng was a very busy man. Although the Demon family had done Young Master Deng a favor, that was more than ten years ago. The Deng family had already been repaying the favor by paving this path for them, and it was not convenient for Zhaji to go to their house and ask for help now.
Although he had no connections, he had seen the portrait of Qin Dongjia in the Food City. When he saw him today, Zhaji recognized Qin Run after just a few glances.
Qin Run didn't respond, but turned to look at Xu Yunfan.
Xu Yunfan paused for a moment, then slightly moved aside to allow Qin Run to pass. Qin Run took a step forward and said, "Hello."
"Oh, it's really fate that we meet, Shopkeeper Qin..." Zhaji pushed Zhali away and enthusiastically introduced their caravan to Qin Run.
Knowing that Zhaji wanted to cooperate with him, Qin Run held a flower pot and invited the two of them to the box.
Zha Li followed Qin Run happily, muttering to Zha Ji beside him in Dongwu dialect: "Uncle Zha Ji, this guy is called Qin Run? He's the owner of the Food City? So what's the status of his husband? His face seems quite suitable for me, but I hope he's not a gigolo."
Xu Yunfan: "...Don't say bad things about me in front of me, I understand."
"Ah?!" Zha Li screamed and looked at Xu Yunfan in shock and embarrassment. "You understand Dongwu language?"
The Dongwu language of Dongwu Kingdom is actually the Mongolian language that Xu Yunfan learned.
Xu Yunfan didn't want to think about why the Dongwu Kingdom spoke Mongolian. Even if he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out. Thinking too much about it would just be a waste of brain cells.
Instead, it was Zali's expression that puzzled Xu Yunfan. How did Zali manage to show shock and embarrassment, two completely unrelated expressions, at the same time?
He glanced at Zhali and continued in Dongwu language, "You can speak our language, so isn't it normal for me to speak Dongwu?"
Is this normal?
It sounded quite normal, but Xu Yunfan spoke too formally. If he hadn't looked at him and only listened to his fluent Dongwu dialect, Zhali would have thought he had met a fellow villager.
Xu Yunfan already had his own aesthetic taste, and because he could speak Dongwu dialect, Zha Li, who was not very good at speaking the official language of the Great Yan Dynasty, was very excited. He seemed to have forgotten Qin Run again. "You speak Dongwu dialect very well. How long have you been learning it? I have been learning your official language from my third father since I was a child, but I still can't speak it well. My third father often says that I have no talent for it."
To Xu Yunfan, Zhali and Zhaji's Mandarin was indeed very ordinary, with heavy accents and inability to distinguish between flat and retroflex tongue.
Kougou was also confused and couldn't explain it. Just now, Zhaji was talking to Qin Run, and he had to listen to the first half of the sentence and guess what Zhaji meant by the second half.
Qin Run was a little surprised that Xu Yunfan could speak Dongwu dialect, but not much. Xu Yunfan had said that he had learned a lot and learned a variety of languages, so eight languages were no problem for him.
"Third Father? What is that?" Xu Yunfan's brain short-circuited for a moment.
Zhali: "That's my father. I have three fathers and one mother. The eldest father is called Grandfather..."
Oh my god, this relationship seems a bit messy!
Xu Yunfan wiped his face and said, "So, you don't know who your biological father is?"
Dongwu Kingdom does not have such advanced technology as paternity testing, and blood testing is even more ridiculous. Zhali has used blood testing with his three fathers to test his kinship, and wow, his blood with his eldest father and third father were successfully integrated.
This is a joke!
"Oh, how would I know?" Zhali scratched his hair. "My mother doesn't even know who my father is, how would I know? But I'm definitely not my third father's son. Some say my eyes look like my eldest father's, some say my nose looks like my second father's. Anyway, there are all kinds of opinions, and I don't care."
Zali's mother, the second princess of Dongwu Kingdom, has three husbands. Among them, Zali's eldest father is the real main husband, while the second and third fathers are actually concubines. His mother can sleep with whoever she wants tonight. She has no fixed habit and will not favor one person continuously.
As a result, the father of the child she gave birth to was unknown. Even if the three men in the backyard wanted to harm the child, they couldn't do it. After all, no one could guarantee that it wasn't theirs. By the time the child grew up and its features began to show, it would be too late for them to harm it.
I have to say that when it comes to protecting her offspring, Zhali's mother does have some skills.
Xu Yunfan wasn't very interested in business matters, but was extremely curious about gossip. "How do you know you're not your third father's son?"
"Because my third father is from your Great Yan Dynasty. Look at how I look like, and then look at the men here. You can tell at a glance that they are different, okay?"
"Not necessarily. As far as I know, the Great Yan Dynasty is vast and rich in resources, with a large population. The people of the neighboring Dongwu Kingdom look similar to you."
Zha Li shook his head. "No, my third father is different from them. He is just like you. It's not that his facial features are the same, but one can tell at a glance that he is not from Dongwu Country."
"Oh, then your mother might be the same as you. Your third father might have been brought back from Dayanchao by her."
Xu Yunfan's words sounded a bit sarcastic, but Zali, the stupid dog, didn't hear it. He thought Xu Yunfan was smart and guessed it right at once. He patted Xu Yunfan's shoulder happily and said, "Brother, how did you know? My third father was indeed abducted back from Dayan Dynasty by my mother. My mother has never met anyone in my third father's family. She just relied on her mouth to coax my third father over with a few words. This time when I came here, my mother also asked me to be a little sweet-mouthed and coax her to find a daughter-in-law or son-in-law. So, this time I came, it doesn't matter whether I do business or not. I'm mainly here to find a husband."
Xu Yunfan said sinisterly, "If you want to find a husband, go ahead. Who gave you the guts to set your sights on my husband? Don't you know that this is very immoral and has no bottom line? You're a mistress. If you were in our place, you'd be torn to pieces."
Zhali shook his head, disagreeing. "That's not the case. Don't you have a saying about love being stronger than gold? If he really likes you, he won't be interested even if I try to coax him. If he doesn't like you and is willing to go with me, shouldn't you reflect on whether there's something wrong with you?"
Xu Yunfan: “…”
This seems to be all right and makes some sense, but: "Nonsense, I won't waste my words on you. I advise you to stop thinking about my husband, otherwise..."
"What else? Hey, the thing I'm most afraid of is being threatened, let alone a pretty boy like you." Zha Li scouted Xu Yunfan with his arms crossed. "With someone like you, do you believe I can kill three of them with one punch?"
"Who are you talking about boiled chicken?" He is clearly a tough guy, and beating two people alone is no big deal.
The two were just chatting happily, but now they turned hostile. Xu Yunfan shouldn't have lost his composure like this, but he was facing a man who had a good impression of his husband and wanted to steal his girl. It would be strange if he had a good temper.
Zali ignored the exasperated Xu Yunfan and took out a few things from his purse with a smile. He said familiarly, "Shopkeeper Qin, try this. This is a specialty of ours. It's called milk candy. It has a rich milky flavor and is very sweet."
Unable to refuse such a kind offer, Qin Run tried one and praised it politely. Zhali was so pleased with the praise that he gave Xu Yunfan a provocative smile. The latter immediately frowned, and seeing this, Qin Run's expression changed immediately.
Just as Zhali was feeling proud, Zhaji slapped him in the face with a loud slap, causing Zhali's head to fall down.
"Uncle, what are you doing? It hurts!" Zali rubbed his head in pain and almost jumped up, his eyes red.
As the young master of the Demon family, Zhali loves cleanliness. Not only him, but there are many young masters who love cleanliness, but Zhali is even worse. He can't stand any dirt. He said that his eyes are used to discover beautiful things and to see beauties, not to see those disgusting things every day.
Knowing this, the second princess always used simple and rough methods to punish the disobedient Zhali, simply throwing him into the bullpen.
Noticing Xu Yunfan's displeasure, Zhaji glared at him and said, "Stop messing around, or I'll tell your mother to punish you severely when I get back. Are you afraid?"
Afraid!
How could I not be afraid?
The Demon family raised a lot of livestock, some of which were free-range and some were kept in pens.
There are thousands of cows and sheep raised at home, and the cowshed is large. In order to provide the cows with a comfortable environment, the cowshed has to be cleaned every few days.
Cows have to excrete manure more than ten times a day, and they have to urinate more than ten times a day, and each time they can urinate a large bucket. In this way, the cow dung in the cowshed is mixed with urine and leftover grass. After piling up for two or three days, the fermented smell is really a bit heady.
As for the sheep pen, there is no need to mention it, the smell is even stronger.
Zhali thought about how his mother had punished him to clean the barn for half a month. There was endless cow and sheep dung to shovel every day, and if he met a bad-tempered bull, he would occasionally get butted on the butt.
Last time, Zhali was punished and lived in the cowshed for half a month, where everything he smelled smelled like cow dung.
Thinking of those dark days, Zhali's face turned pale. He immediately sat down obediently and said pitifully, "Uncle, don't tell my mother. I didn't do anything. Please have pity on me. I don't want to clean up the shit anymore."
Zhaji rubbed Zhali's head tiredly: "Then you just be good and listen to me. When you go back later, uncle will take you to the food city to eat delicious food."
"Uncle, I also want to take a hot bath over there. I heard there are people who can give massages there. It's so comfortable."
"No, if you want to take a bath, we can go back to the inn and take a bath."
"But I heard from other people that the shampoo there smells nice and the massage is very comfortable."
Zaji seemed to be very opposed to Zhali taking a bath and refused to agree no matter how Zhali begged him.
Xu Yunfan looked at the coquettish Zhali and felt as if he had caught a cold. His body trembled and his stomach felt a little uncomfortable.
Qin Run saw Zhali's pitiful look, and then saw Zhaji, who was saying harsh words but his eyes were full of doting. For some reason, this uncle and nephew gave him a strange feeling.
Is Zaggi doting on Zalili too much?
He didn't act like he was talking to a young man, but rather like he was talking to a brother.
Some men, perhaps due to same-sex repulsion, tend to be rough in their love for their sons, but their love for their brothers or daughters is delicate and gentle.
Feeling strange, Qin Run stared at Zhali and forgot to look away for a moment. Xu Yunfan gritted his teeth and snorted.
"Mr. Xu, Young Master Pei wants to see you for something." Xiao Liu suddenly appeared behind Xu Yunfan like a ghost.
Xu Yunfan: "What does he want from me?"
"I don't know. Master Pei seems to have something to hide, and he didn't tell me his purpose."
Unspeakable secret?
Could it be another matter concerning his descendants?
That shouldn't be the case. It's been so long since he had his penis circumcised, and he did it perfectly, there's no way there could be a problem.
But since Pei An was here, Xu Yunfan had to go and see him. Before leaving, he glanced at Qin Run and, in front of Zha Li, kissed Qin Run on the face as if to declare his sovereignty. "You can go home directly later, no need to wait for me. I want to eat braised pork tonight. Can you go back and make it for me?"
Who doesn't know how to act coquettishly?
Qin Run found Zhali's coquettish behavior funny and artificial, which did not stir up any ripples in his heart. However, Xu Yunfan's coquettish behavior was natural. Facing Xu Yunfan, Qin Run felt his heart soften.
Qin Run agreed to the trouble of making braised pork, and he would have to rush back to see how he would get along with Zhali uncle and nephew.
"Okay, then I'll go to the market to buy some meat and make taro braised pork for you tonight, okay?" As he said that, Qin Run picked up the flower plate, not caring at all about Zhaji's deep gaze that fell on the tongcao flowers.
Seeing that Qin Run couldn't even take care of his business because of Xu Yunfan, Zha Li immediately became anxious. "Wait, Mr. Qin, please consider what my uncle told you. We originally planned to ask Mr. Qi for help, but we heard that Mr. Qin has many factories in Beijing and can produce many things that Mr. Qi doesn't have. So, we uncle and nephew would like to establish business relations with Mr. Qin. What do you think?"
Qin Run smiled and said, "Regarding business matters, if you two are interested, I will personally host a banquet for you two someday, and we can discuss it in detail then. As for now, I have urgent matters to attend to, so please forgive me."
You have to forgive me!
They met someone on the way and wasted their time. They couldn't just stop them from leaving. That would be too ignorant.
Before leaving, Xu Yunfan, with Qin Run holding his arm, turned around and raised his eyebrows at Zhali, who was watching Qin Run leave reluctantly.
That look was definitely a provocation!
"Hey, how come this guy is so annoying when he's so good looking?"
Zhali took two steps forward, seemingly about to chase after him, but Zhaji quickly stopped him, "Hey, Third Young Master, what are you doing? He's already my husband, not my brother."
"Uncle, I just like him, he is handsome." Zhali felt very regretful. It was rare for him to meet someone who made him fall in love at first sight, so how come the other person became someone else's husband?
Can't I just wait for him? Is this just fate?
Zaji walked back with Zali without saying anything, but thought to himself, "Do you like it?"
What's the point of you liking him? The two brothers have no future.
When Xu Yunfan returned home and put down his bag, the three children saw him and their eyes lit up immediately. "Brother/Father, did you bring any gifts back?"
"Well, come here and try it on." Xu Yunfan waved his hand, and the three little guys jumped for joy.
Qin An put on the scarf curiously, "Brother, is this the gift you mentioned? Wow, it's so warm to wear, big brother, look."
"Yeah, it looks really good." Qin Run praised and reached out to help him tidy it up. "Have you said thank you to your brother-in-law?"
"I told you," Qin Mu came over, "Brother Fang, why don't you try it?"
Fang Zixi smiled and said, "Let's try it now."
In fact, there is nothing good to try about this thing, but after all, this is a gift that Xu Yunfan knitted by himself and brought back for them. Fang Zixi was happy that her brother-in-law was thinking about her and the children and was willing to spend time making these gifts, so she put it on immediately.
"Wow, it's so warm." Fang Zixi rubbed her face on the scarf, then looked at Xiaobao's and bent down to tidy it up for him.
The little treasure was wrapped up so that only his little face was exposed. It was round and chubby, with big smiling eyes, making him look extremely cute.
After receiving the gifts, the little ones ran out immediately. During the time when Xu Yunfan was away, Xiaobao and his two children had become familiar with the children nearby.
Faintly, Xu Yunfan heard Xiaobao giggling outside, "Little brother, look, this is a gift from my father. Do you think it looks good?"
"What's this?"
The unfamiliar voice sounded young, perhaps eight or nine years old.
"This is the scarf my father knitted for me and my uncles. It's warm, soft, and very beautiful. Look, little brother, my scarf also has a hat with tiger ears on it. Isn't it cute~~"
"It's cute and beautiful, and feels so comfortable and soft. Brother, your father is so nice. He even brought you a gift when he came back from work."
"Yeah, dad is the best dad in the world~~" Xiaobao's cheerful voice was filled with pride, as if having Xu Yunfan as his father was something that he was very proud of.
Xu Yunfan felt inexplicably embarrassed. It was true that he wanted to bring a gift to Qin Run. The reason he knitted scarves for them was actually to kill time. But he just shamelessly boasted a few words and the children were so happy.
I am so ashamed.
There are some things that are just done casually or just a thought in a moment, but in the eyes of others, they are of great significance.
Xu Yunfan listened to a few of these and laughed, "It seems Xiaobao and the others have made some friends recently. They can't wait to show off to their friends when they get something good, and they're not afraid of getting beaten up anymore."
Qin Run: "They're not showing off, they're just too happy. Besides, with their father here, anyone who wants to bully them would have to be very brave."
Although he said this, Qin Run secretly thought, even if Xiao Hengzhi didn't stand up for Qin An and the others, isn't there still Xu Yunfan?
Last time the girl from the Wu family bullied Xiaobao, look at what Xu Yunfan did?
As a result, the Wu family suffered a loss and did not even dare to come to the door to ask for an explanation. Later, Song Tong took people to investigate, but found nothing. It can be seen that Xu Yunfan did not act on impulse, but knew how to counter-investigate.
That's it. Everyone outside knows that Xu Yunfan is protective of his people. If he dares to touch the children of Xiao Qin's family, he must be very bold.
Xu Yunfan didn't think about this and just asked Qin Run with a smile, "What about you? Didn't you get a gift too? Why didn't you show off?"
Qin Run blushed immediately when he was questioned.
