Luo Wenqian carried the old man on his back, while Wang Yajie watched from behind, while Chen Xiuyan fell behind and looked at the back of the old man adjusting to a comfortable position, crying and laughing.

The allergy is true, but the dizziness is fake. Luo Wenqian is now known as Jieyuan to many people in the city. If he leaves the old man alone without saving, his reputation will be damaged, not to mention that he is so old. If it is not a bit difficult,

Not so.

In Yinping Alley, the old man pretended to wake up leisurely. Chen Xiuyan was holding a bowl of medicine and handed it to him, "My father-in-law is probably allergic to seafood. Drinking this medicine will make him feel better."

The old man took it without any suspicion and took a sip, "Why is this medicine so colorless? Are you trying to trick me into drinking water?"

"I will know whether it is medicine or water when it takes effect later." Chen Xiuyan said, "Do you want me to eat something?"

"Yes, yes, I want to eat seafood porridge." The old man squinted his eyes as if he was reminiscing.

There was a glint in Chen Xiuyan's eyes and she smiled, "So my father-in-law did it knowing that he couldn't do it."

The smiling old man sitting on the kang suddenly froze, and just then Luo Wenqian opened the door and came in.

"Young man, little young man, you came just in time. I'm very itchy. Please get me some water to wash myself off, and give me some clean clothes. We are about the same size, so I can just wear your clothes."

Chen Xiuyan looked at Luo Wenqian's tall figure, and then looked at the old man sitting on the kang, who was only a little taller than herself even if he stood upright, and felt dumbfounded. This old man was really a confident person.

Luo Wenqian asked Chen Xiuyan to go back and rest, while he went to fill the old man with hot water and get a set of clothes.

Chen Xiuyan went to the kitchen and made a bowl of thick bone soup noodles with a poached egg on top. This was for the elderly. They were all eager to eat it, so their stomachs must be empty.

The old man washed up and looked like a child wearing an adult's clothes. When he saw Chen Xiuyan coming in with a bowl of fragrant noodles, his eyes lit up with joy.

"Little girl, it's good." The old man took a bite and then devoured it. The taste was no worse than what the chef of Tianxianglou made.

"Where does my husband live? I'll take him home later." Luo Wenqian looked at the energetic old man and knew that this man was just faking it, but he didn't expose it.

"I haven't recovered yet. I thought eating your food made me faint. I have to wait until I recover..." The old man pulled up his sleeves, intending to show the red dumplings on his arms, but he waited until he could see clearly.

I found that the red dumplings had faded a bit.

The old man was very familiar with his own body, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Little girl, your medicine is so powerful, it's working now."

"Well, most people charge at least ten taels of silver per bag." Chen Xiuyan said bluntly.

"It's so effective. I want some, so you can give them to me." The old man looked excited and had a good idea in his mind.

"What do you want some for?" Chen Xiuyan snorted, "I want some so I can go eat seafood afterward?"

There was no trace of embarrassment on the old man's face.

"My husband is allergic to seafood, but he still wants to eat it?" Luo Wenqian frowned and looked at the old man quietly.

The originally calm old man turned his head when Luo Wenqian's sharp eyes saw him, "What are you looking at, little young man? It makes me panic."

"Madam, go and rest first. I'll take the old man back." Luo Wenqian made up his mind, but Chen Xiuyan didn't say anything.

However, two hours later, Luo Wenqian came back with a frown on his face, and the old man was still followed behind him.

"Being relied on?" Chen Xiuyan said bluntly when she saw this.

"Hey, you little girl, you are so smart." The old man approached and said, "I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs tonight."

"Don't worry, I won't be a freeloader. I know how to play chess. I will teach this youngster how to play chess these days." The old man said with a proud face.

Chen Xiuyan didn't understand Go and wasn't interested in it, but Luo Wenqian didn't chase people away, and she wouldn't do that either.

After listening to Luo Wenqian's words, Wang Yajie knew that the old man had made up his mind to stay in Yinping Hutong, so he didn't say anything more and just asked about a pair of chopsticks. What's more, they had all won the lottery, so there was nothing wrong with doing a good deed.

"Brother Ziqing, what do you think about Zheng Daru? Do you want to take his name?" Wang Yajie chatted with Luo Wenqian about business after dinner.

Chen Xiuyan did not leave but listened from the side.

The old man's mouth was stained with sweet and sour sauce, and he listened to the excitement.

"It's not a matter of whether we worship or not, it's a matter of whether they accept it or not." Luo Wenqian said not caring much.

"But he..." Wang Yajie also knew that talking about people behind their backs was not the behavior of a gentleman, but he couldn't help but said, "I don't think that Zheng Daru is suitable for brother Zi Qing."

Wang Yajie didn't have the extravagant expectation that he would be favored by a great scholar. He was the last one on the list just to make up for it.

Luo Wenqian laughed after hearing Wang Yajie's words, "Yajie, you still don't see clearly enough. There will be many such things in the future. If it weren't for Cai Jiaoyu's sake, people might not want to take me in. I'm destined to have a better position and power."

choice, and we do not have the ability to make such a choice."

Wang Yajie's face showed a trace of disappointment and surprise.

"Only when you stand taller can you have the opportunity to choose, so make progress." Luo Wenqian said seriously, "Don't worry about some unsatisfactory things. You will encounter more such things in the future. You have to be mentally strong."

Chen Xiuyan interrupted at the right time and said, "That Zheng Daru is not suitable for you, my husband. Then do you want to try another one? I happened to meet him today..."

"Madam, you don't need to worry about us." Luo Wenqian didn't let Chen Xiuyan finish, "Don't bother me either."

Chen Xiuyan nodded, somewhat understanding Luo Wenqian's thoughts. She ate the food in the bowl and looked at the food in the pot, making sure she didn't look too ugly.

"What do I think is a big deal? I'll just take you two in." The old man suddenly said, "As long as the good food and drink keep coming, I'll do whatever it takes."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, Luo Wenqian, Chen Xiuyan and Wang Yajie looked at him, and the atmosphere in the hall fell silent for two breaths. After that, no one paid attention to him, and they went to talk to each other.

"You don't know what is good or bad." The old man shook his head and said in distress.

The old man just lived in Yinping Hutong, ordering a favorite dish from Chen Xiuyan every day, and then trying his best to ask for Chen Xiuyan's home-brewed rice wine. There was only one more person in the house, but the atmosphere was a lot more lively.

.

When the Spring Banquet came, Chen Xiuyan declined politely and asked her to thank Pei Liu. She also presented two letters of cakes made by herself and two jars of rice wine.

Saying goodbye to the Spring Banquet, before getting on the carriage, I seemed to see a figure passing by at the entrance of the alley. I thought it looked familiar, so I opened the curtain of the carriage and took a closer look. I put it down when I didn't see the familiar person. I must have seen the wrong person.

The old man who temporarily lived in Yinping Hutong was hiding behind a stall with his body crotched. When he saw the carriage leaving, he got up and swaggered back to the alley.

"Where did Mr. Tao come from? His head is covered with animal hair." Chen Xiuyan still said cheerfully when she saw the old man.
