Chapter 137
137. Ten Years of Gathering and Parting
Because Lian Xiao knew the agreement between He Yanjun and his master, he thought about it and thought it would be better not to reveal that he was also involved in this plan, so he didn't go to the master directly.
That night, Lian Xiao guessed that the master and the old building should have nothing else to do, so he went to Hanqiu Pavilion.At that time, he saw his master reading a book in his bedroom while Lou Yefeng quietly served tea.
When Pei Nianyu met Lian Xiao, he was surprised:
"Why did you come here so late at night?"
Lian Xiao coughed lightly, and said seriously:
"There is indeed an important matter that needs to be discussed with the master."
Pei Nianyu saw that his expression was not as lazy as usual.He was quite serious, as if he was going to talk about serious business, so he also sat up straight.
"Just say it."
"It's like this. Today, Old He asked his subordinates to go down to see his sister again. Today, the subordinates took the pulse carefully for a while. The last time was in a hurry, but this time they asked the subordinates to find some problems. Miss He Yanjun, she......"
Pei Nianyu frowned, and hurriedly asked:
"What's up with her?"
"The years when she was homeless when she was young, she was probably around ten to twelve years old. I'm afraid she couldn't eat well or live well, and she might even sleep outdoors. It was when she was growing up, but she caught cold every day."
"She is a woman, so now she is a bit weak. In addition, although she has a place to live in the next few years, I am afraid that her life will not be satisfactory. She is worried and depressed every day, so she can't take care of her body at all. On the contrary, she willMy body has a lot of lesions..."
"Now that she's young, she doesn't see much, but if she doesn't take good care of herself now, she may be plagued by tuberculosis when she is forty years old or above, and her time is numbered."
Hearing what he said, Pei Nianyu looked at Lian Xiao suspiciously and narrowed his eyes.
No wonder he was suspicious, it's really strange that Lian Xiao came to add fuel to the show after a good performance with He Yanjun today.
It's just that he stared at Lian Xiao for a long while, but he saw Lian Xiao frowning slightly in thought, as if he had a thought in his heart, as if something really happened.Pei Nianyu had no choice but to dispel his suspicions.
"Then you go and prescribe her a recuperation prescription. You can choose those medicinal prescriptions that are used for the old building and Li Han before, and you can choose those warm and harmless ones, modify them to be suitable for women, and make them for her.That’s right. They’re just medicinal materials, and they’re not worth much.”
"Yes, this subordinate understands. This subordinate will leave."
After Lian Xiao left, Lou Yefeng lowered his head and suddenly said:
"Master...he takes good care of Miss He."
Pei Nianyu thought to himself that this guy is very courageous. Could it be that he can ask him today?
He closed the fan with a "snap", and suddenly approached Lou Yefeng, and said with a smile:
"Why, could it be that Ye Feng sees that I care about her, and you don't like it?"
Ye Feng shook his head hastily:
"The subordinates dare not, how could they think so! Ms. He is Old He's biological sister, and this subordinate is brother to He Qi. His sister...is no different from my sister. She, Ms. He, has gone through so many ups and downs before., the subordinates naturally need to take more care of them."
Pei Nianyu was noncommittal, turned around and sat down:
"I care about her. Apart from Old He's younger sister, what's more important is... the accident happened to his He family, alas."
"You have also seen the results of Xiaosheng's investigation. Back then, the battle for the heir apparent was fierce in the palace. His father was a decent man, and he didn't want to stand in line with the prince.The prince has some friendship. You know all of this."
"Who knows, I don't know whether it was He Shilang's stupid loyalty or the prince's intentional design. The Huaihe river case that year involved a lot of involvement. It was obviously the prince's fault, but He Shilang took the initiative to take the crown for the prince's crime, so he was angry with the scumbag father."Well... my scumbag father is stupid again, and he really shook the whole family to death."
"This is a purely innocent disaster for the He family. Although I have nothing to do with the evil done by the scumbag father, my surname is Pei. He Qi said a lot of dissatisfaction with the royal family that day. Although I don't care about his attitude, I want to take advantage of it."This is a chance to make up for the sins of my scumbag father..."
"The master's mind, the subordinates will naturally understand."
Lou Yefeng was hidden in the shadow of the lamp, unable to see his face clearly.
Of course he understands that the master has always treated people generously, and he will not be hostile to He Yanjun, but...
Seeing the master's gentleness shared with others, he still couldn't help but feel awkward.
………………
In the early morning of the second day, Pei Nianyu was practicing martial arts every day. Recently, he had basically learned all the moves of the jade fan set, and he was currently practicing the routines.
Before the end of the practice, a servant girl suddenly walked over to Calm Heart Lake.
Pei Nianyu took a closer look and found that it was one of the maids he assigned to He Yanjun's side.
"My lord, Ms. He sent her maid over here, please go and listen to the piano. Ms. He said that she has practiced a new piece today and is waiting for your advice."
Pei Nianyu nodded:
"Go back to your girl and tell her that I have to practice martial arts for a while, and I will go when I finish."
When Lou Yefeng heard these words from the side, his breath was choked in his chest, and he felt indescribably flustered.
Usually... After the martial arts training is over, the master will use the excuse of tired limbs to snuggle up to him for a long time. Today I'm afraid...
Sure enough, an hour later, Pei Nianyu finished his breath adjustment.After saying hello to Lou Yefeng, he flew to the direction of Wenhong Room.
Lou Yefeng stood with a sword in his hand, standing beside the Calm Heart Lake, watching the master's distant figure, like a pine tree standing still.The early spring breeze quietly brushed his black cloak, but it made him feel cold all over.
………………
In the Wenhong Room.
Pei Nianyu sighed as soon as he entered the door:
"I'm afraid our plan... won't last. Just now I saw Ye Feng's eyes, I..."
He Yanjun looked at Wang Ye's guilt-ridden eyes, worried:
"If the prince doesn't want to, just give up..."
"I... well, let me try again."
Naturally, Pei Nianyu was not in the mood to drink tea and listen to the piano. He looked around and suddenly called a maid:
"Go and sneak Xiang Ping'en over here."
"yes."
Recently, his chief teaching assistant, Senior Sister Yun Shao, went to take charge of a new batch of apprentices, so Xiang Pingen naturally had to teach by himself.But he was originally his apprentice, so he couldn't keep throwing it to others.
Xiang Ping'en ran over with a washbasin in his hand, looking embarrassed.
Pei Nianyu remembered that the jujube paste roll that he ate when he was a guest at Cheng'enhou's Mansion that day, as Capital's traditional dim sum, it was dignified in appearance and tasteful.
"Today I will teach you the simplest dim sum, one of the traditional Jingbapieces, jujube paste rolls. Learn the basics first, and then I will teach you egg tarts."
"Yes... the student understands!"
Pei Nianyu first did a demonstration, from rolling dough to making pastry.After kneading it into shape, he took advantage of the oven in the small kitchen of Wenhong Room, threw it in and used his own internal energy to heat it up for a while, and it was out of the pot in a short time.
Soft and sweet, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
He Yanjun stared straight at the dim sum without taking his eyes off it.
Pei Nianyu laughed and said:
"Look at it like this, just eat whatever you want. I can see that you really loved snacks when you were young."
He Yanjun was a little embarrassed, but still couldn't help the urge to eat snacks, grabbed one with one hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Just out of the pot, be careful to burn your mouth."
After He Yanjun ate two or three meals, his eyes turned away.
Pei Nianyu understood very well:
"Why, miss your brother again?"
"Exactly. This jujube paste roll... my elder brother used to make it for me when I was a child. At that time, my elder brother also practiced with Beijing Eight Pieces. This jujube paste roll is my favorite, and he made the most."
"Later, his ability to make dim sum became more and more convenient, so he made a small jujube paste roll into many patterns, including petal-shaped ones, and bunny ones..."
The more He Yanjun said, the more sad he became. He was very happy to eat dim sum, but now he couldn't eat any more.
Pei Nianyu didn't want to disturb her thoughts, so she sneaked into the kitchen to supervise Xiang Ping'en's meeting.After Xiang Ping's practice, he went back to the house.
…………
He Yanjun missed his eldest brother, and his thoughts raced for a long time.Just when he seemed to think of something, the maid at the door suddenly came to pass, saying that Mr. Lou asked to see him.
He Yanjun suddenly wondered, did the strategy of her and the prince pay off in one day?It shouldn't be so fast.
After inviting Lou Yefeng in, He Yanjun reviewed in his mind all the messy house fighting essentials taught by the previous Jiang Nan Nanny.
She pondered for a while, and suddenly her temperament changed—it became the cold appearance of Miss Liu Yun that day, but she didn't look half like the He Sanya who was greedy for snacks in front of the prince today.
She put on a flawless, polite smirk:
"I don't know what orders and advice Deacon Lou has?"
Lou Yefeng saw that she was calm and polite, so he choked on what he wanted to say.
When he came here today, he was out of his mind and wanted to ask her why she always invited the master to listen to the piano.At this time, seeing He Yanjun's appearance as a lady, I felt that it would be a bit abrupt for me to ask this question.I had no choice but to talk about him:
"I don't know how Miss He is used to living in this mansion?"
"Very good. The prince takes great care of Yanjun. There is nothing Yanjun is not used to."
Lou Yefeng: "..."
He was silent for a moment, then said:
"My lord, he really takes good care of you, and asked Lian Xiao to prepare a medicinal meal for you today."
He Yanjun is dignified and generous, and there is nothing unusual in his demeanor:
"Yanjun didn't dare to be the prince. The prince only took care of Yanjun because of his elder brother's face. Yanjun had no choice but to repay the prince with a poor piano sound."
The two exchanged a few words with each other, but He Yanjun had gone through many years of professional training.She deliberately put on an appearance of "I have no relationship with Wang Ye Mao, just a normal exchange of piano skills", killing herself as an innocent and good girl.
It's just like a white lotus in the flourishing age.
As for Lou Yefeng, who never had any experience in house fighting, he was completely choked up by her and had nothing to say, so he had no choice but to say "If you have any questions, just ask your brother", and left silently.
After the play, He Yanjun stroked his chin and thought to himself:
"Should be able to make the old building very angry just now? Well, I hope he will quickly become angry, so that I can fulfill the prince's entrustment as soon as possible."
While she was contemplating, a gray figure suddenly fell from the roof, but it was not her second brother.
He Qi said angrily:
"San Ya! What are you doing?"
He Yanjun was surprised: "Second brother, when did you come?"
"I was going to visit you later, but I saw the old building and he came looking for you. Why did he ask you for no reason?"
Lou Yefeng had nothing to do with He Yanjun, so He Qi thought that it might have something to do with his master.
He Yanjun thought of his second elder brother's old-fashioned temperament and being the prince's shadow leader, so it was inconvenient to meddle in his master's emotional affairs due to his status, so he didn't plan to tell him the plan.
Then she secretly rejoiced that she and Lou Yefeng hadn't said anything substantively just now, so she confidently said:
"How do I know what he came to see me for? He said something inexplicable and then left. I'm still wondering."
He Qi sighed:
"Well, I'm just reminding you, don't mess with this guy. He's the master's sweetheart, I'm afraid the master won't like it..."
He Yanjun said in his heart that your master asked me to provoke him, silly second brother, you know a thing:
"Okay, I know, I know."
…………………
At night, He Yanjun tossed and turned but only thought about the jujube rolls he ate during the day, and couldn't fall asleep.
She suddenly thought of something, got up from the bed, and took out her banana leaf harp.
Then she opened the hidden compartment where the sword was placed earlier, took out the dagger, groped inside for a while, and finally took out an old piece of yellowed paper.
"I didn't expect...the house deed is still there. I just didn't know that this shop...sigh, it must have been confiscated."
He Yanjun looked at the piece of paper and was in a daze for a while, then suddenly called Yun Chi who was on guard at night:
"By the way, can I use Wen Hongxuan's small kitchen?"
"Girl, it's naturally possible. You can use the things inside as well."
"Okay, come with me."
After entering the small kitchen.
"Help me hold the lamp."
I saw He Yanjun moved very quickly, seemed a little excited, and scooped out a basin of flour and a ladle of water.
Then she recalled the prince's actions before, and muttered to herself:
"If there is too much water, add noodles, if there is too much noodles, add water..."
As she recalled step by step, the movements under her hands changed from jerky to smooth and self-taught.A person who has clearly never been in a kitchen has extremely dexterous fingers.
After a quarter of an hour, the round dough sat in the basin, smooth as new.
He Yanjun stood in front of the chopping board, the moonlight outside was as bright as her eyes.
………………
On the second day, Pei Nianyu came to "listen to the piano" as a routine.
But He Yanjun bowed to him:
"Yanjun...ask for something."
"You said so."
"Brother knows that Yanjun likes to eat dim sum. He is afraid that Yanjun will get married in the future, and he will not even be able to make dim sum. So he bought a dim sum shop in my name and gave it to me as a dowry."
"He also left the recipes for making dim sum to the master chef in that shop, just so that if I get married in the future, I can also eat dim sum..."
"Now the elder brother is gone. Although Yanjun has the second elder brother as his support, Yanjun doesn't want to marry, but just wants to find his own livelihood. So... Yanjun wants to learn how to make dim sum from the prince, and run a dim sum shop for a living in the future. It can be regarded as,It can be regarded as inheriting the heart of the elder brother."
Pei Nianyu was amazed: "What shop?"
He casually took over the deed and took a look——
No. 97, Hing Xuan Street, Chen Kee Pastry.
The author has something to say:
Lao Pei: The dilapidated restaurant that has left me deflated so many times belongs to your brother!Forget it, no one is here...
