food color and fragrance

Chapter 127
It is true that Zhong Xingyan did not jump over the wall to enter and leave Yang's house, but entered through the main entrance openly and aboveboard.

Erlang crossed his legs and sat crookedly at the gatehouse, waiting for someone to come in and announce. Sanskrit was startled, stared at Liu's mother and said, "He, is he at the gate?"

Ms. Liu nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and wanted to say a few words, but because Cuiqiao and Bichun were both there, she couldn't speak directly.

"Miss, that is the young master of the Zhong family, and the younger brother who is loyal to Mrs. Uncle, we... we can't afford to offend him, right?"

This is nothing more than a step up for Sanskrit, and it is also an excuse to invite Zhong Xingyan in.

Fanyin's teeth were about to be gritted, "Did father know? Let father receive me, after all, I am a female family member..."

"Young Master Zhong said he wanted to see you, but he just sat in the gatehouse and refused to come in, and the master couldn't do anything about it." Mother Liu was at a loss for what to do, Sanskrit had no choice but to agree, "Caiyun just follow me, you can take Cuiqiao down, Let Mama Wang go socialize first, I will be there later."

Mama Liu agreed and left. Sanskrit and Caiyun looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and both could see the incomprehension in each other's eyes.

Caiyun has always been a timid and honest child, but now she grinned and muttered: "Young Master Zhong, this is really, really unreasonable."

"Him?" Sanskrit rolled his eyes, "Maybe he has some bad intentions, I'd like to see what he says!"

After changing his clothes, Sanskrit took Caiyun to the main hall.

Mama Wang had already welcomed Zhong Xingyan into the main hall, and Yang Zhiyuan was also there at this time. He had been busy last night and was taking a rest today, so he heard the news of Zhong Xingyan's invitation as soon as he opened his eyes.

This news made Yang Zhiyuan feel that he was dreaming, but he pinched his arm and slapped him, it really hurt!
But his heart hurts even more, but he got up helplessly to see him, alas, he is just a small master bookkeeper, who is he provoking?

Originally, there was resentment in his heart, but when Zhong Xingyan saw his face, Yang Zhiyuan couldn't complain about his enthusiastic appearance. Even if the Zhong family is not as poor as it was in the prosperous age, he can't compare with him. Xingyan couldn't laugh or cry at this chattering talk that he hadn't seen for many years and was nostalgic for the friendship between Qingcheng County and Qingcheng County.

Although he jumped in and out of the wall all day long ago, there is no need to put on such a posture, right?Did my daughter tell him something again?Yang Zhiyuan exchanged pleasantries from the sidelines, and didn't stop talking until Sanskrit entered the door.

Seeing the Sanskrit sound, Zhong Xingyan pointed to his nose, "Yang Huailiu, do you still recognize me?"

Sanskrit turned his eyes to the sky, "Even if you turn into ashes, you will be recognized!"

"I didn't expect me to be so unforgettable in your heart!" Zhong Xingyan smiled slyly, causing Sanskrit to cast a glance at Mama Wang who was serving on the side.

Ms. Wang's pleasing expression could not conceal her disbelief, she pretended not to hear her, but she remembered what Yang Zhiyuan and Zhong Xingyan said just now, right?

"Huai Liu, please talk to Mr. Zhong first. I still have some official business to deal with as a father. I will go to work first. I will leave Mr. Zhong to eat at our house later, and I will talk to Mr. Zhong in detail." Yang Zhiyuan found it by himself. After walking up the steps, he looked at Zhong Xingyan, "The Beijing office is in a hurry, so don't blame Mr. Zhong for neglecting him!"

Zhong Xingyan got up immediately, "Master Yang is busy first, I'll be waiting for you!"

"Okay!" Yang Zhiyuan responded and went down first. Seeing his deadly character, Fanyin really didn't know what to say. First, he asked Mama Wang to go to the kitchen to send her away with a noon banquet. Only Caiyun was left in the room. When he was by his side, Fanyin said anxiously: "Zhong Xingyan, what the hell are you doing?"

Her palms began to itch again, and it was the first time she met someone who could make her so violent.

Zhong Xingyan spread his hands, "Yesterday you told me not to jump over the wall, so what's wrong with me entering through the main entrance?"

"You shouldn't come here at all!" Fanyin's words made Zhong Xingyan stare, "How can I do that? I don't like eating elsewhere."

"Isn't our house a restaurant?"

"I didn't pay the money either!"

"Sooner or later you will be poor..." Sanskrit's brain ached from anger, and Zhong Xingyan held his face with one hand, "Okay, why are you such a fussy woman, it's just an extra pair of chopsticks for your family. No hurries?"

"This is my home!" Sanskrit's chest felt tight, "Your purpose is not pure."

"What impure purpose do I have?" Zhong Xingyan looked at her with more subtle consideration, Fanyin sneered, "You know it in your heart."

Zhong Xingyan paused for a while, "I'm doing this for Master Yang's sake, you little girl doesn't understand."

"I only know that there is one more person in the family who eats rice. You are not afraid of others laughing at you. The son of the dignified general Huaiyuan and the younger brother of Mrs. Feng who is loyal to Mrs. Feng go to a small official's house to eat every day. How about your face?" Sanskrit's words were a bit heavy, but Zhong Xingyan didn't care, "Outsiders have already gotten used to it, so you should get used to it too? It's not the first day we met."

"Then you sit by yourself, I don't have time to stay here with you." Fanyin stood up and left, telling Caiyun: "There are not enough people at home, call Bichun to serve Mr. Zhong."

Caiyun responded and went to pass on the message, while Fanyin went to the study to find Yang Zhiyuan, she wanted to ask her father if Zhong Xingyan's sudden visit today would have any effect.After all, Zhong Xingyan once said that there are people sent by Yu Wenxin to watch around.

Yang Zhiyuan was very open about this.

"...I was also surprised when I first heard that he came, but thinking about it carefully, this is not a bad thing for me." Yang Zhiyuan's words made Sanskrit's mouth wide open, "Didn't he intend to make trouble?"

Yang Zhiyuan shook his head, "If I don't know Zhong Xingyan and Yu Wenxin, my little master is just a pawn under Fang County Magistrate, not to mention that my father was born in a poor family, and I don't have any support and no one to come with me. I know that a Jinshi who was born in Qingcheng County can still be ranked high, but in Beijing? It’s not a first-ranked scholar, second-best, or third-ranked scholar, and no one would appreciate his father’s talent and invite his subordinates..."

Yang Zhiyuan paused and continued: "A while ago, Yu Wenxin's sudden arrival here has attracted everyone's attention and has mixed advantages and disadvantages. Now that Zhong Xingyan has also come suddenly, it must cause another topic. Although Mu Xiuyu Lin Feng will definitely destroy him, But the father still can't attract everyone's attention, but if it can become a topic of concern, Fang County Magistrate will also pay more attention to being a father, and will not treat him as a servant who is ordered at will. According to the department's proposition, Zhong Xingyan's arrival may allow me to get rid of the hat they put on me."

"He said it was for your own good, isn't it a lie?" Sanskrit whispered, Yang Zhiyuan looked at her, "He...although his words and deeds are weird, but he hasn't seen any evil intentions yet."

"He's definitely not here to eat, but to compete with Yu Wenxin." Sanskrit's face revealed a bit of displeasure and helplessness, "Since father said that his actions are beneficial to our family, let him eat two more meals." , if you still hang on, my daughter will have to pay for the meal!"

"Isn't that bad?" Yang Zhiyuan had already heard Sanskrit's gnashing of teeth.

"Who made our family poor?" Fanyin curled his lips, and Yang Zhiyuan was shocked, "Didn't you bring back rice noodles a few days ago?" The benefits of Jingya are much higher than those of Qingcheng County, and the head of Jing is Zhengba. The quality and salary are also higher than before.

Sanskrit stuck out his tongue, "Who made our family bigger? Zhong Xingyan can eat enough food for four people in his family. What's more, everything in Beijing is expensive, and our family's savings are not balanced. We have to spend money in it, and we can't live. Let's go on like this..."

"This Beijing official is getting poorer and poorer, and being a father is really a miracle!" Yang Zhiyuan put his hands on his forehead, "Let me think of a way for my father, don't worry for now."

"Father has just joined the job, so don't worry about family affairs." When Fanyin mentioned family affairs, he suddenly thought of the maid sent by Mrs. Fang. She hadn't talked with her father in detail, "Mrs. Fang started sending people to our house again. ?”

"Give it away if you like, and send it back if we can't afford the monthly silver. As a father, you are not afraid of being called poor, and you are so stubborn!" Yang Zhiyuan seemed to be a little disgusted by this, otherwise he wouldn't have been talking about Zhong Xingyan just now. It was mentioned that Fang County Magistrate could not handle it right now.

Fanyin knew it well, there was a troublemaker sitting in front of her, she really didn't dare to leave Zhong Xingyan there alone for too long, who knew what new tricks he would come up with?

Zhong Xingyan had a delicious meal, because he was going to declare to the public that he was a guest in the Yang Mansion, and Fanyin would not just give him a few bowls of hot noodle soup for the sake of his family's face.

At the same time, the news that Zhong Xingyan was a guest at Master Yang's house spread everywhere. When Yu Wenxin heard the news, the corners of his eyes were filled with gloom, "He finally went."

"Mr. Yuwen, do we need to take any action? The Zhong family has made a lot of moves recently. The Salt Transport Envoy of the Ministry of Household Affairs who wanted to visit you a few days ago canceled their trip, saying that they were unable to come because they were sent by the emperor on an errand. It has been checked, and the directors with him are people who are loyal to the uncle."

Yu Wenxin took a deep breath, "Wait a minute, the emperor has no plans to call Zhong Xingyan back to his post, so we don't need to worry, how much trouble can a small master book cause?"

"What did you say?" Mrs. Zhong Feng was dumbfounded when she heard the servant's report, "He went directly to that Yang's house for dinner?"

"That's right, the servant asked specifically today. He said that he was going to Yang's house for dinner, and that the vegetarian food cooked by Master Yang's daughter is very good. He wants to try it." The housekeeper of Zhongfu came to find Uncle Zhong Feng Madam told about her young master, the steward had followed General Huaiyuan for so many years and was very sensitive to court affairs, but he couldn't persuade him, so he had to come to Mrs. Zhongfeng.

It's a pity that now my aunt doesn't seem to be able to control the young master anymore...

Mrs. Zhong Feng might as well calm down after being shocked. Although my younger brother is a foodie, how about going to the house of an official who has a complicated relationship with Yuwen Xin's family just for a bite?
"Su Zhai? Is that Yang Huailiu's Su Zhai craftsmanship so good?" Mrs. Zhong Feng muttered in a low voice, just as Zhong Xingyan stuffed the last bite of "Sai Crab" into his mouth, he shouted greasyly, "Okay." Eat! Another bowl!"
