Chapter 315 Chapter 315 The Most Beautiful Home
In Xu Yunfan's opinion, Zhali was a simple-minded person. But once he was given a hint, he immediately became friendly. Just as Xu Yunfan was finding it funny, Zhali suddenly pushed him. "Xu Yunfan, who is that?"
What is the capital city? It is a place where you can see endless carriages on the streets every day. People who are not rich or noble are just ordinary people here.
Xu Yunfan looked up without caring, "Oh, that's Ye Shizi from Lord Ye's family."
"Prince Ye? Then who is the man next to him?"
Xu Yunfan teased, "That's Lord Ye's eldest grandson, and also the son of Lord Ye. What's the matter? Are you attracted to him?"
Zhali shook his head. "Looking at his stature, he's probably half a head shorter than me. Someone like him isn't good enough for me. The only person who's good enough for me has to be at least like Run Ge'er."
Young Master Ye is indeed not taller than Zhali. Xu Yunfan is probably only about 1.76 meters tall, and there is no one taller than him.
In fact, this height is not short in the Dayan Dynasty, but compared with Zhali, who is over 1.8 meters tall, it is indeed not good enough.
Zha Li: "That Young Master Ye you mentioned looks like my Third Father, but he's a little too short. He's really not good enough for me. If he were taller, I might take a second look at him."
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful with your words." Xu Yunfan almost covered Zhali's mouth. This guy couldn't even lower his voice when speaking, and he didn't know how to restrain himself when he was in someone else's territory.
Compared to Xu Yunfan's cautiousness, Zha Li disagreed. "I was telling the truth, not insulting anyone, so how could it be so disastrous? He is shorter than me, not worthy of me, and looks frail. Although I don't mind the distinction between the two, he is indeed a bit too weak. Given the facts, I am not allowed to tell the truth?"
Xu Yunfan: “…”
Ye Sifan wanted to laugh but was also angry. In broad daylight, as the young master of the Ye family, he was being blatantly despised?
Xu Yunfan's face almost cracked with embarrassment when he saw Ye Sifan looking at him. He wanted to cover Zha Li's mouth, "Alright, stop talking. Can't you see that the main person has heard it?"
"Lord Xu." Ye Sifan's health was not very good. It was said that it was because he was born prematurely and looked like a cat when he was born. Prince Ye had to take him to seek medical treatment everywhere. The father and son had been living outside the capital, and they came back some time ago.
Xu Yunfan smiled politely at Ye Sifan who had dismounted, "Master Ye, hello, Prince Ye."
Ye Fangzheng dismounted and nodded to Xu Yunfan. His eyes fell on Zhali with a slightly displeased expression.
Ye Sifan was frail, and this was a matter of eternal guilt and pain in Ye Fangzheng's heart. It would have been strange for Ye Fangzheng to be happy when someone suddenly brought this up, even speaking of his son in a derogatory tone. He asked in a cold tone, "This should be the young master of the Demon family, right?"
"Yes, it's me." Zha Li was quite happy, as if he was very proud that Ye Fangzheng knew him. "You know me? Do you know my third father?"
"Third Father?" What kind of strange name is this?
"He is my mother's third husband. I call him Third Father."
"I see. How could Master Zhali think that I would know someone from Dongwu Country? Not everyone can be remembered by this prince."
The deeper meaning behind Ye Fangzheng's words was, 'Who the hell is your Third Father? Is he worthy of being recognized by a young prince like me?'
Xu Yunfan could tell there was something else behind Ye Fangzheng's words, but Zhali, the brainless one, was still trying to explain foolishly, "No, my third father is not from Dongwu Kingdom. He is actually from Dayan Dynasty. My third father is very handsome, speaks softly, is very generous, and is tall, about the same height as me."
As he spoke, Zha Li pointed at Ye Sifan and said, "If you were taller and more muscular, you would probably look 50% similar to my third father, especially your eyes. Are you related?"
If it were someone else, they would probably think that Zhali was crazy. He just looked a bit like her, so what's the big deal?
However, Ye Fangzheng was acting out of character. His eyes suddenly became sharp, and his tone was filled with urgency. "What's your third father's name? Tell me."
"My third father is Lu Fan. Do you know him?"
boom!
Ye Fangzheng felt a buzzing in his head and ears. He was unable to recover for a long time. After a long while, he kept muttering, "Lu Fan, Lu Fan, Lu Fan... He actually... Haha... He actually became someone else's father, became the husband of another woman... Hahaha, he really did what he said... He doesn't want it anymore... Hehe..."
No matter how low Ye Fangzheng's voice was, and even though they were in a busy city, Xu Yunfan, with his sharp ears, could still hear it clearly after special training.
Xu Yunfan's gossip spirit was rising, but unfortunately, some gossip was not something he could listen to just because he wanted to.
Some gossip comes at a price.
"Daddy..." Ye Sifan hurriedly supported Ye Fangzheng. Seeing this, Xu Yunfan hurriedly grabbed Zhali's wrist and said, "Master Ye, Master Ye, we have things to do. We'll leave first."
"Okay..." Ye Sifan didn't finish his words. Ye Fangzheng's eyes were red and he said sternly: "Don't leave. Tell me, where is Lu Fan? Are you his son? Why are you his son?"
"Hey." Zha Li didn't like what Ye Fangzheng said. "Why can't I be my third father's son? If I can't, then your son can? Don't make me angry."
Xu Yunfan's eyes rolled around, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head as he discovered an incredible secret.
Ye Sifan, Lu Fan? ?
What is the connection between the two?
Seeing Ye Fangzheng losing his composure, Xu Yunfan grabbed Zhali and said, "Stop talking. Let's go to the restaurant and have some sweets. Prince Ye, let's say goodbye now."
"You are not allowed to go." Ye Fangzheng shouted sternly, stretching out his hand to block Xu Yunfan's way.
Zali was well protected by the Demon family, but he was not blind, so how could he not see Ye Fangzheng's loss of composure? Seeing Ye Fangzheng like this, Zali was a little confused and a little scared.
It’s not that he’s afraid of causing trouble, but because of Ye Fangzheng’s behavior, Zhali is deeply afraid that Ye Fangzheng and Lu Fan have a grudge. Is he exposing Lu Fan’s location to the enemy?
"Dad, don't be impulsive."
Ye Sifan coughed and looked very weak. Xu Yunfan was worried. If Ye Sifan collapsed in front of him today, he would not be able to explain himself and would not be able to defend himself.
In the end, the meal was definitely not eaten. Zhali was taken away by Ye Fangzheng, and Xu Yunfan couldn't stop him at all. If he tried to stop him, Ye Fangzheng would go crazy. If Ye Fangzheng went crazy, Ye Sifan would get anxious, and Xu Yunfan would get anxious too.
There was no other way, so Xu Yunfan could only go find Zhaji.
After returning to Xiao Qin's house, Xu Yunfan was still a little depressed and was absent-minded during the meal.
Qin Run stopped picking up food with his chopsticks and asked, "Yunfan, what are you thinking about?" How could you pick up two or three grains of rice with one chopstick?
Xu Yunfan glanced at the people who came over and whispered, "I think I've discovered something incredible today... So, I have reason to suspect that Ye Fangzheng and the third wife of the Demon family have had an affair. Otherwise, think about it carefully, Lu Fan, Ye Sifan, isn't it too coincidental?"
Fang Zixi thought for a moment, "Lord Ye has only one son, and in his early years, the Ye family's side branches complained about Shizi Ye inheriting the throne. Later, according to the new laws, Shizi Ye was able to successfully take the throne, but this was not possible without the help of Shizi Ye's husband. Although Shizi Ye's husband is Shizi's husband, he is not marrying into the family. The first child born to Shizi Ye can be given the surname Ye, but the second must take the husband's surname."
After Fu Qingyu ascended the throne, he promulgated many laws related to boys and girls. One of them was that if a girl was an only child, one of their children could choose to take the mother's surname.
Just like Pei An, because his uncle's family only had one son and the family had few descendants, Pei An took his mother's surname.
Xu Yunfan suddenly became curious, "Brother Fang, do you think it's possible that Ye Sifan isn't the heir of this prince's wife?"
Fang Zixi paused for a moment. "I dare not speak rashly about this matter, but I heard that Ye Sifan disappeared for half a year when he was a child. Later, for some unknown reason, he seemed to be sent back. Ye Shizi went crazy for a while, and Lord Ye was helpless, so he sent them out of the capital under the pretext that Ye Sifan was unwell. When Ye Shizi came back, everything was normal, and I didn't see any other problems. But I heard that Ye Shizi and his wife were in harmony and had a good relationship. In order to take care of Ye Shizi and his son, his wife also left the capital."
Qin Run listened quietly, and then saw that Xu Yunfan was already full of gossip and didn't even care about eating. He felt amused, "Hurry up and eat. Look at you, the children have learned bad things from you. The food is almost cold, and you haven't even finished half a bowl of rice."
Xu Yunfan glanced at the three little guys who had forgotten to eat because of all the gossip. "Eat first, eat quickly, don't learn bad things instead of good ones."
"Dad, we'll be obedient. Can we bring two more spicy noodles when we go out to play later?"
"Bring it, bring it, but don't eat too much. Be careful of stomachaches, okay? After you finish eating, dad will make it for you."
Fang Zixi brought the spicy strips made by Xu Yunfan back to her mother to try. Even her mother liked them very much, not to mention Lord Qin and the others.
Unfortunately, the end of the year is approaching and Qin Run has been too busy to build another factory.
Xu Yunfan secretly followed up on Zhali's affairs. Unfortunately, it was not easy to find out about the affairs of Ye Hou Mansion. Ye Fangzheng said something to Zhali, but he actually fooled him and even brought Zhaji to live in the villa of Ye Hou Mansion.
Xu Yunfan sighed endlessly, and Fang Zixi laughed at him, "What's wrong? I didn't see you treat Zhali so well before, but lately you've been going to him repeatedly. Do you like to hear gossip so much?"
"No way." Xu Yunfan refused to admit it. "We are business partners. Shouldn't I show more concern for him?"
Fang Zixi just smiled without saying anything, and Xu Yunfan felt shy when she smiled. "By the way, where are Xiaobao and the others?"
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
"Father……"
Xiaobao ran in, his voice filled with tears, "Father, my second and third uncles have been bullied."
"What? Who is so bold? Dare to bully my brother-in-law, Xu Yunfan? Are you tired of living?" Xu Yunfan rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was going to fight.
Xiao Bao said logically, "It was Feng Ting and the others. They said that Uncle Two and Uncle Three were country bumpkins who didn't know what was good."
Xiaobao didn't know what "country bumpkin" meant, but he knew it was not a nice word.
"Feng Ting and the others said that Grandpa Qin and Grandpa Xu didn't like Uncle Two and Uncle Three, so they didn't let them go home. They didn't even allow them to go to private school. They also said that our place is much worse and not as good as theirs at all."
Xu Yunfan pulled Xiaobao and said, "Really? Then take your father over to see how well they live."
"Okay, father, Xiaobao will take you to support your second uncle and third uncle." Xiaobao was too young to argue with them. Seeing that his second uncle and third uncle were unable to fight back, he came back to seek help.
Their father said that they were still young and could not handle things on their own. If they encountered problems that they could not solve or handle outside, they should just leave it to adults.
Xu Yunfan went to the Feng family. At that time, Mr. Feng was at work. Xu Yunfan suddenly came to the door. Mrs. Feng greeted him happily, and Xiaobao snorted.
After learning that Xu Yunfan was looking for Qin An and Qin Mu, Madam Feng's smile froze. "Master Xu, did Feng Ting offend the two young masters?"
Xu Yunfan smiled and said, "Mrs. Feng, what you said is serious. It's normal for children to quarrel and have conflicts when playing together. They quarreled this morning, but got together to play again in the afternoon. Where are Young Master Feng Ting and the others? I wonder if I can..."
The young man's room was not open to outsiders, so Xu Yunfan proposed to take a look around so that he could decorate the rooms of his two brothers-in-law. Mrs. Feng immediately agreed to this request.
Upon learning that Xu Yunfan had arrived, Qin An and Qin Mu ran to Xu Yunfan, holding one of his hands each. They looked up and asked why Xu Yunfan had come. The subconscious intimacy and dependence, as well as Xu Yunfan's tenderness towards his two brothers-in-law, made the three of them get along very intimately, which surprised Mrs. Feng.
There are rumors outside that Xu Yunfan loves his three children very much. No matter how busy he is every day or when he goes out of Beijing for business, he never forgets to assign homework to the children and prepare gifts. As long as Qin Run has something, he will never leave them out.
But there are also those who think Xu Yunfan is hypocritical and hold different opinions.
"Humph, Master Xu treats his two brothers-in-law well? How did you tell? Just based on his face? Can you please stop judging everything by appearance?"
"Master Xu, why don't you find a way to send your two brothers-in-law to the academy?"
"That's right, if it weren't for the identities of the two young masters..." The rest of the words, you understand, I understand, and everyone understands.
These kinds of rumors are very unpleasant to hear privately, but some people hold different opinions.
If Xu Yunfan doesn't treat Qin An and the others well, they would be fools not to go home. Even if they are young and ignorant, could it be that General Qin and Prince Xu are also blind?
Mrs. Feng thought about how Qin An's three children had been very polite when playing with her own children in recent days. Every time they came, they were always busy with things in their hands. Today, they either brought dried fruits or small cakes.
From this we can see that even though they live in a poor place at Xiao Qin's house, their food is definitely not bad.
Actually, it is understandable if you think about it. Qin Run came from the village, and Xu Yunfan heard that he was from a wealthy family, but he is a man, so sometimes he can't help but be inconsiderate.
Thinking of this, Madam Feng's attitude towards Xu Yunfan became even more enthusiastic. "Master Xu, this is Ting'er's room. Many young masters' rooms are decorated like this. If An'er and the other young masters like it, you can arrange it for them when you return."
Xu Yunfan nodded, quite naturally, not feeling the slightest bit ashamed that they were from the village. "We used to live in the village, but after arriving in the capital, his eldest brother and I were so busy that we neglected to decorate the children's rooms."
As for Lord Qin and the others, it is not easy to mention them.
When Qin An and Qin Mu saw Feng Ting's room, they were dazzled by its interior design and decoration. The screens, ceiling cabinets, washbasin racks and other interior objects were all carved with intricate designs, and even the wood used was extraordinary.
Xu Yunfan saw his two uncles looking here and there with a look of curiosity. In Feng Mo's eyes, they looked like they had never seen the world. Feng Mo was so proud of this that his nose almost turned up to the sky.
"Look, my room is beautiful, isn't it? Look, the flowers, birds, and flowing water on this folding screen were embroidered by a royal embroiderer specially commissioned by my father. And the quilt on this bed is also silk... Can you invite me to your room someday?"
Feng Ting said these words with such pride, while Qin An and Qin Mu looked at him with envy. Xu Yunfan was clearly standing next to them, and the two little guys were holding his hands, but neither of them looked up to ask Xu Yunfan if he could arrange something for them as well.
I really envy something, but that doesn’t mean I want to own it.
Xu Yunfan stood there blankly for a while.
He was good to Qin An and Qin Mu. He tried his best to provide them with the best conditions in study, food and transportation, but he really didn't pay much attention to their accommodation.
As for Qin Run, he remembered to prepare clothes for them and feed them good food all year round. As for accommodation, he was busy and sometimes couldn't help but take care of it.
After returning home, Xu Yunfan wiped his face and made a decision, "You two should move to another room tomorrow. I'll decorate your room."
Other people’s children have baby rooms and pink princess rooms. Even though Qin An and Qin Mu are not girls, who doesn’t like to have a dreamy room?
Xu Yunfan looked at the materials today. He has solar panels and other materials, so he might as well just put up starlight ceilings in several rooms.
Fang Zixi frowned slightly and said, "Yunfan, there's no need to be like this. The children already have a good life now. There's no need to compare them with other children."
It is true that Qin An and Qin Mu are the young masters of the General's Mansion and Prince Xu's Mansion, so it is advisable not to compare with them.
But what other people's children have, as a parent, who doesn't want to arrange for their own children as far as their finances and abilities allow, and do their best to give their children the best living environment.
Xu Yunfan had been to a good friend's house before. His friend had a younger sister. His sister not only had a dressing room, but also had someone decorate her room into a princess's room. The decorations inside, even a small ornament, cost up to six figures.
All the houses under his name have been renovated, with both Chinese and Western styles. They are as luxurious as they can be, with ancient Chinese style and charm, and are all designed by the best designers. The house where he lives now was bought by the two masters of the Qin family, so it is naturally not bad, but Xu Yunfan has his own ideas.
If you see the same old things too many times, you will naturally lose interest in them and think they are worthless.
It’s not that his children can’t afford what others have, but what they have is absolutely unique compared to what his brother-in-law gives them, and no one else has it.
Xu Yunfan glanced at Qin An and Qin Mu, then at Xiaobao, and suddenly felt that what he had done seemed to be a little lacking.
The baby in Fang Zixi's belly will be born in a few months, so it's time to prepare the children's room.
"It's not a comparison or rivalry, it's just that their brother-in-law has the conditions, so I want to give them a better environment. These two brothers are different from the little men. If they were two men, it would be fine, but they are brothers who need to be raised in wealth, and they really need to live in a more refined environment. I didn't think of this before, and I didn't decorate the room for them." Xu Yunfan held his forehead. He really didn't do well enough and didn't even think of this.
Fang Zixi choked up after hearing this reason. He touched Qin Run and saw Qin An and Qin Mu surrounding Xu Yunfan, asking what surprise Xu Yunfan was going to give them. They didn't notice this side, so he whispered to Qin Run, "Brother Run, does Yunfan... value brothers over men? That's not right. He treats Xiaobao well, but he..." The implication was that if Qin An and Qin Mu were two men, he would be too lazy to do it.
Qin Run chuckled and said, "He just said that, but he is really good to the children."
The next day, Xu Yunfan walked around the study and looked through some things. In the evening, he discussed with Qin An and Qin Mu and asked them to live in the Qin family with Qin Run and Fang Zixi first. He wanted to renovate the house.
Qin An and Qin Mu didn't understand what Xu Yunfan wanted to decorate, but they were obedient. They nodded and said, "Brother, let's go live with Daddy. We'll be obedient."
Xu Yunfan touched the ends of the two children's hair one by one and said, "Okay, my two brothers-in-law are the best."
After Qin Run and the others packed up and moved into the Qin family, Xu Yunfan got busy.
Xu Yunfan was busy for more than half a month, working until late every day. Qin Run and Fang Zixi wanted to help, but they didn't know where to start.
They didn't know what these things Xu Yunfan took out were used for, let alone helping.
Every day after work, Xu Yunfan would start making noises and going in and out, no one knew what he was doing. He almost tore down the rooms of Qin An and his two brothers.
After Xu Yunfan cleaned the room, installed all the curtains, and even built the wardrobe himself, Qin An and Qin Mu stood in the middle of the room. When they saw the wardrobe that could slide left and right, up and down, and the transparent windows, they were both stunned.
There are also two bird's nest-shaped hanging rocking chairs in the room, which are filled with soft cushions, several pillows of the same color, and two furry dolls. The whole arrangement looks warm and comfortable. Children can sit on them to read or lie down to rest on weekdays. It is so comfortable.
Fang Zixi and Qin Run also came over and touched and looked at it again and again. Xu Yunfan pulled the curtains, turned off the sun lamp, and turned on the switch at the head of the bed. Suddenly, four gasps were heard.
The original wooden ceiling was replaced by dreamy stars. In the starry "night sky", "meteors" occasionally streaked across the sky, sometimes appearing as a sea of stars, sometimes the vast and mysterious nine planets, and sometimes turning into a quiet deep blue sea of stars.
The two adults and two children looked up, dumbfounded. It took them a long time to come back to their senses. Qin An and Qin Mu jumped up, "Brother... Brother..."
They called out to Xu Yunfan, but they couldn't utter a word for a long time.
At this moment, the few of them could not say anything except silence.
After all, Fang Zixi was a well-known young man in the capital city back then, both in terms of appearance and literary talent. Now he had a lot of things to say in his mind, but he couldn't say them. After all, he couldn't even see enough with his eyes, so how could he have time to speak?
In the central courtyard, next to the left and right wing rooms, Xu Yunfan installed two more trees, a cherry tree and a red peach tree. They are very beautiful and can be seen as soon as the window is opened.
"Father..." Xiaobao held Xu Yunfan's calf with one hand and pointed at the cherry tree outside the yard with the other, and then pointed at the shooting star passing by the roof. "Father, Xiaobao also wants a room like this."
Xu Yunfan squatted down, picked up Xiaobao, and let him sit in the crook of his arm. He held up Xiaobao's fat little hand with one hand. The dimples on the back of his hand made him laugh. He asked knowingly, "Do you like it?"
"I like it," Xiaobao raised his head and clung to Xu Yunfan. "It's very beautiful. Xiaobao likes it very much. Father, can you also make a sparkling, beautiful room like this for Xiaobao, with stars and flowers?"
He asked if it was possible, instead of taking it for granted that Xu Yunfan had to do it.
The flower pots in the house were arranged by Xu Yunfan in a very artistic way, as if they were real objects, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off them.
Xu Yunfan said with relief: "It's done. Father won't forget Xiaobao."
It is true that sometimes Xu Yunfan did not have the patience with Xiaobao as he did with Qin An and the others, but he was not the kind of person who would give special treatment. Not only did he redecorate the children's rooms, he also decorated the rooms for the adults. Xu Yunfan also put a lot of thought into the furnishings in the rooms.
He replaced the lanterns in the corridor with solar wall lamps, which are very bright and consume less electricity.
There are two pregnant women at home. Even though Qin Feiyu's pregnancy symptoms have passed recently, she still comes to stay occasionally. Fang Zixi's belly is also big, so she needs to be extra careful when getting up at night. It is also safer if the house is brighter.
There are six rooms in the west wing of the central courtyard. Fang Zixi and Xiaobao live there. There are five rooms in the main house, where the Qin An brothers live. As for the east wing, Xu Yunfan and his wife live there. There are also six rooms in the east wing. When Li Liu came, he lived in the east wing. When Qin Feiyu came to live here, he lived in the main house.
All the rooms that are often occupied were renovated by Xu Yunfan. There is nothing missing in them. Even the bathroom was equipped with a flower umbrella, a solar water heater and a bathroom cabinet. These things are unique in Dayan Dynasty.
Fang Zixi entered the bathroom in the west wing. He had never seen anything like it before. Its luxury far surpassed the VIP room in the Food City Restaurant.
That night, several children and two adults could not sleep, but kept their eyes open, staring at the "sea of stars" on the roof.
Xu Yunfan lay on his side, looking at the person who was reluctant to blink in the dim light, "Is it really that beautiful?"
She was so beautiful that she didn't even hug him. Even though there was such a handsome guy lying next to her, Qin Run didn't have any thoughts at all.
The seven-year itch hasn't even arrived yet, and he's about to fall out of favor. Is Qin Run fed up with it?
"nice."
Hearing Qin Run's response, Xu Yunfan moved, rolled over, and clung to Qin Run's chest, "Can you be as good as me?"
Qin Run: “…”
Are the two comparable?
"That's the wrong question."
Pulling up the quilt that had fallen to cover them both, Qin Run laughed, "But since you asked, I'll tell you the answer. Nothing in the world can compare to you. In my eyes, you are the most beautiful."
