Chapter 486, Drink Porridge
In December, it snowed all the time in Ningmen Mansion. It was freezing cold outside, so Daohua stayed in the yard obediently to train her puppy. She happened to have read some books on dog training, and she was in a good mood during this period. Having something to do made her less bored.
On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Yan Wenxiu went to the dock to see off two of his classmates. Master Han Er, Han Hexu, and Fang Hao had nothing to do, so they went with him.
At the dock, Yan Wenxiu had just sent his classmates off when he heard a surprised cry from the large ship coming from the opposite direction: "Brother, brother!"
Yan Wenxiu looked in the direction of the voice and saw his fourth brother Yan Wenkai waving his arms and yelling at him, his third brother standing aside with a smile, and a few steps away was the young prince, who was talking to a middle-aged man who looked quite majestic and strong.
Master Han Er also heard the voice and immediately said with a smile, "It's your brother."
However, when the boat got closer and he saw Master Wu talking with Xiao Yeyang, he immediately narrowed his eyes and hissed.
After hearing this, Fang Hao looked at Master Han Er in surprise.
Although Mr. Han Er did not serve as an official in the court, he was born in an earl's mansion and had seen many different kinds of people, but not many of them could make him marvel.
Fang Hao immediately looked towards the boat. They all knew that the young prince was close to the Yan family, and it would not cause any surprise to Master Han Er. So, the only one left was the middle-aged man who was talking to the young prince.
The man had a sturdy figure and a dignified appearance. It was obvious that he had held a high position for a long time.
Who is this person?
Yan Wenxiu also noticed Master Wu. Although he didn't know his identity, he could guess that his status was not low from the way he spoke casually to the young prince.
"That's your eldest brother?"
On the boat, Master Wu glanced at Yan Wenxiu.
Yan Wenkai immediately grinned and said, "Yes, my eldest brother looks more elegant, unlike me and my third brother, who are more majestic. Although he has no martial arts skills, my eldest brother's knowledge is first-class."
Master Wu glanced at Yan Wenkai and said, "You and your sister are really the same. You don't know how to be modest at all."
Yan Wenkai tutted his words twice, looking helpless. "Oh, there's nothing I can do. He's too good to be true. I can't hide it!"
Uncle Wu and Xiao Yeyang couldn't bear to watch and looked away together.
Master Wu: "Young Prince, I won't get off the boat later."
Xiao Yeyang nodded and said politely, "Thank you for your hard work these days, Master Wu."
Master Wu patted Xiao Yeyang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "This kind of hard work can be repeated more often, for example, the letter you intercepted."
Xiao Yeyang turned his body to the side, avoiding Master Wu's hand: "For now, Master Wu, please don't bother with me. If I really can't solve it in the future, it won't be too late to trouble Master Wu again."
Just at this moment, the boat docked, and Xiao Yeyang said, "We'll get off the boat now so as not to delay Mr. Wu from doing his business." After that, he took the lead and walked towards the deck.
Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai saluted Mr. Wu, then followed him with a smile.
Watching the three people leave, Master Wu smiled and shook his head, glanced at Master Han and others at the dock, then turned and entered the cabin.
After getting off the boat, Xiao Yeyang led Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai directly towards Yan Wenxiu and others.
"Young Prince!"
Everyone greeted Xiao Yeyang.
Xiao Yeyang nodded to the two men, then looked at Yan Wenxiu and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"
Yan Wenxiu smiled and said, "Two classmates came to visit a few days ago, and I came here today to see them off."
Xiao Yeyang looked around and asked, "Did they leave?"
Yan Wenxiu nodded: "Yes, he just left not long ago."
Yan Wenkai interrupted, "Now that we're done, let's go home quickly. I've been missing the Laba porridge my elder sister made for a long time."
Seeing that his two younger brothers were in high spirits, Yan Wenxiu knew that the matter at the iron mine should have been handled. He felt relieved and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go back now."
Master Han Er looked at the boat and asked with a smile, "Aren't you going to wait for the others on board?"
Yan Wenkai shook his head: "No, they are not on the same side as us."
Master Han Er smiled and said casually, "I think you two are quite familiar with each other. I thought you were together. By the way, who was the person standing with you just now?"
Yan Wenkai said casually: "That is half of my and my third brother's master."
Master Han's pupils shrank: "Master?"
Yan Wenkai wanted to say a few more words, but was interrupted by Yan Wentao: "It's almost noon. Go back quickly and don't keep Grandma and the others waiting."
Yan Wenxiu glanced at his third brother and nodded slightly. His third brother was much more steady than his fourth brother. He followed his words and walked forward while talking to Xiao Yeyang with a smile.
Master Han Er fell behind by a step and couldn't help but let out a sigh as he looked at the Yan brothers chatting and laughing with the young prince in front of him.
Commander Wu of the Five Military Commanders' Office is actually the master of Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai!
The news was so shocking to him that he needed to take it easy.
Fang Hao noticed that something was wrong with Master Han Er, and when he was distracted, he covered for him several times.
Yan Mansion.
After returning home, Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai took Xiao Yeyang to the backyard to pay a visit to Old Lady Yan, while Master Han and the other two stayed in the front yard.
In Songheyuan, as soon as Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai entered the house, Old Lady Yan took them aside and looked at them for a long time, and then asked Xiao Yeyang about his well-being for a while.
Yan Siyu secretly looked at Xiao Yeyang, and was very surprised to see that he answered the old lady's various nagging questions politely and politely.
Is this little prince too respectful to his mother?
Not only towards his mother, but also towards his elder brother and sister-in-law, he doesn't have the airs of a royal family at all.
Seeing that her two grandsons, Wentao and Wenkai, were growing more and more energetic, Mrs. Yan kept smiling. She said to Xiao Yeyang, "You are back just in time. Daohua has made Laba porridge for you. You are in for a treat."
Xiao Yeyang's expression changed slightly. He wanted to ask about the injury on Daohua's hand, but there were too many people in the room, so he couldn't speak and could only nod with a smile.
At this time, Daohua led her maid over with Laba porridge.
Old Madam Yan immediately laughed and said, "Speak of the devil, and he will appear."
As soon as Xiao Yeyang saw the rice flowers, his eyes lit up.
Daohua glanced at Xiao Yeyang, walked over to sit next to the old lady, and said with a smile: "Grandma, are you saying bad things about your granddaughter?"
Old Madam Yan glanced at her with a smile: "I was saying bad things about you, why did you bring the Laba porridge so late? We were all waiting anxiously."
Daohua smiled and said, "Isn't this freshly cooked food brought to you? You should be praising me."
Old Madam Yan laughed unhappily and said, "Still praising me? If I praise you again, you girl will be in heaven." Then she looked at Xiao Yeyang and the other two, "Today is a festival. When you go to the front yard for lunch later, you will definitely have some wine. First, have some Laba porridge with me to fill your stomach."
Seeing the maidservant start to serve the porridge, Yan Siyu thought for a moment and said to Yang Xiujun, who was sitting with Yan Yihan and the other two, "Xiujun, what are you still sitting there for? Hurry up and serve the porridge to everyone."
Old Madam Yan smiled and stopped her: "There is a maid."
Yan Siyu smiled and said, "It's okay, let the girl move."
Daohua glanced at her aunt, then looked at Xiao Yeyang and the other two in the room. Did her aunt want her cousin Xiujun to show off?
Yang Xiujun stood up, took the spoon from the maid's hand, and first served a bowl of Laba porridge to Old Lady Yan, Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Wu, and Yan Siyu, and then served some to Yan Wentao and others.
At this time, Yan Wenkai walked over and said, "Cousin Xiujun, we will serve the food ourselves. You should sit down and have a rest." As he said that, he stretched out his hand and motioned Yang Xiujun to give him the spoon.
Yang Xiujun smiled and said, "Let me serve. Cousin Wenkai and you just got back, you should sit down and rest."
Yan Siyu interrupted: "Yes, Wenkai, just let Xiujun help you serve."
Yan Wenkai had no choice but to sit back down.
Soon, Yang Xiujun served several more bowls of porridge and first gave one to Xiao Yeyang: "Little Prince, please have some porridge."
Xiao Yeyang nodded, took the bowl with a faint smile, and then placed it directly on the table next to him without starting to drink immediately.
Yang Xiujun paused, then turned around and served porridge to Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai.
The two of them took it with a smile and started drinking.
At this time, without waiting for Yang Xiujun to serve her, Daohua stood up and walked over with a smile, served herself a bowl, and signaled Yan Yihan and the other two to serve themselves as well.
Daohua had just taken two sips when she heard Yan Siyu's voice again.
"Xiuyun, your cousin Wenkai has finished his drink, give him another bowl."
Daohua raised her eyes in surprise and looked at Yang Xiujun and her fourth brother.
Yan Wenkai stood up with a smile: "Aunt, there's no need to trouble my cousin. I can do it myself. Just serve as much as you want to drink. It's more convenient this way."
Hearing this, the smile on Yan Siyu's face paused, and Yang Xiujun, who had just stood up, sat back down again.
At this moment, Madam Li came over with a smile: "Everyone, just drink something to fill your stomach. Lunch is already served. Don't drink too much porridge or you won't be able to eat later."
As he said this, he looked at Yan Wenkai.
"Have you finished your drink? If you're done, go to the front yard. Your father just sent someone to ask about it."
Yan Wenkai quickly drank the porridge in the bowl, then looked at Xiao Yeyang and Yan Wentao.
Xiao Yeyang stood up, bowed to Old Lady Yan, glanced at the rice flowers, and turned away.
Daohua glanced at the spot where he had just sat and saw that the Laba porridge hadn't been touched at all. She was a little puzzled: "That guy used to like drinking Laba porridge. What happened today?"
