"What's wrong?" Wen Tingyuan put down the tea cup and looked from the window to her face.
Qiao Yuyan wrinkled her nose, "As an elder, shouldn't you educate me?"
"That kid deserves a beating."
"ah?"
Wen Tingyuan suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand and pinched her nose, and then said, "Since I have taken over the housekeeping duties, I can't give up the trouble."
As soon as he said this, Qiao Yuyan remembered that in order to celebrate her uncle's birthday at the Xu family, she boasted that she would write a picture of a hundred years of life as a birthday gift. However, when she got started, she realized that this was a problem that she couldn't handle at all.
Unfortunately, the words had already been released, so in the end, I had no choice but to ask Wen Tingyuan for help, and finally arranged the one hundred longevity characters in different shapes, just in time for Uncle Xu's birthday.
Just when Qiao Yuyan wanted to protest and said that she could solve it now, she heard a faint sentence from the other side, "If you encounter anything, go to Mengpo Bookstore and find me."
"I'm not..." Qiao Yuyan's eyes suddenly lit up mid-sentence, "Have you come to the capital?"
"Um."
Qiao Yuyan originally wanted to ask if coming to the capital would affect the business in the south? But then she thought about it, this is the capital after all, and since he decided to come here, he must have his reasons.
She didn't know much about business matters, so naturally it wasn't her turn to worry about such things for him.
In fact, Qiao Yuyan didn't know exactly what kind of business Wen Tingyuan was in. She only knew that their family was originally a family friend of the Xu family, but something unexpected happened and he was the only one left in the family.
The child, who was only a few years old, lived in the Xu family's own courtyard.
In my impression, the Xu family has always been very kind to him and did not show any slights because he was living alone, even though he was only a teenager at the time.
And in Qiao Yuyan's eyes, Wen Tingyuan seemed to know everything, and he didn't look downtrodden at all. In the first two years before she came to the capital, he actually didn't appear in the Xu family very much, and was always busy outside.
Occasionally, when he saw his uncle from the Xu family talking to him, it was his uncle who listened to him more, which shows that he must be doing well in business outside.
"Speaking of which, I am in need of a capable maid. Although Qixi beside me is nice and has a calm temperament, she is not capable enough when it comes to housekeeping and management. Let alone Shi Ye. She was originally from the escort agency. If Uncle Wen can
Please help me find a suitable candidate, I will thank you very much."
Wen Tingyuan's hand that was pouring tea suddenly stopped and he raised his eyes to look at her, "What can you thank me for?"
Qiao Yuyan choked, how can I thank him? In the past, I always went to Uncle Wen for everything. The so-called thank you was just a word of thanks!
Looking at her look, Wen Tingyuan knew that this girl was just saying something again, so he thought for a while and said, "If I find it for you, you can make a purse for me!"
"Okay!" There was nothing to say no to such a simple request. She naturally agreed.
The two talked for a while before Qiao Yuyan suddenly realized what was happening. She looked out the window and saw that the boat had stopped at a shore, "This is..."
When Wen Tingyuan heard this, he looked outside and said, "We're here, I'll take you back."
Only then did Qiao Yuyan suddenly remember, how did Uncle Wen sneak in at the eldest princess's banquet?
Thinking about it again, Uncle Wen has reached his prime this year, and almost all the young men of his age in Beijing have already settled on their marriages.
She quietly glanced at the man walking in front of her, feeling a little regretful in her heart, although in her eyes, Uncle Wen's character was more than enough for a princess.
But people in this world have always looked down on businessmen, especially the noble ladies in the capital. I am afraid it will be difficult to find Uncle Wen's marriage.
It was true that a girl had fallen in love with him at this drinking party, and when she found out about his family background, she probably gave up the idea on her own.
Thinking of this, she could not help but feel a little aggrieved, but she had no choice but to say this to him clearly. Besides, she was his little niece. How could any niece ask about her uncle's marriage? So she put all her feelings in her heart.
The thought presses.
When they got ashore, they discovered that they had already left the princess's villa and had arrived at a riverside pier on the street outside.
"Let's go!"
Before Qiao Yuyan asked, Wen Tingyuan was already walking in front, waiting for her to follow behind.
The curfew in this dynasty is very late, and the night market on the street can be open until Haizheng, which is a lively time.
Wen Tingyuan in front had long arms and legs. Taking one step, Qiao Yuyan felt that she had to take two steps to catch up. As she walked, she was one step behind and trotting after her.
While running, I was talking to her in a hushed voice. Just as I was talking about the girls' school that would open in a while, I bumped into a hard wall of flesh. I felt the tip of my nose hurt and tears started to flow from my eyes.
He immediately looked at the instigator who suddenly stopped complaining, "You didn't know how to say it first!"
Unexpectedly, he was amused by her aggrieved look as she rubbed her nose. He reached out and pinched the tip of her nose, turned around and pulled out a bunch of candied haws like a magic trick, "Here you go."
After saying that, he threw a piece of silver to the vendor on the side and continued to move forward, but his pace had slowed down, and he even frowned in confusion, "Why do you feel like you haven't grown much yet?"
Qiao Yuyan has always loved eating candied haws, but when she was in the Xu family, her grandmother said that eating too much was bad for her teeth, so she was not allowed to eat more. But every time she went out with Wen Zingyuan, he would always buy it for her, and it seemed to have become a habit over the years.
Developed a habit.
After coming to the capital for a year, in order to learn some rules and regulations from Qiao Yuning, she didn't even eat once.
At this moment, he was sticking out his little tongue and licking the outermost sugar coating with enjoyment. Hearing this, he stretched out his hand to show that he still couldn't reach his shoulder. He said helplessly: "It seems so!"
Wen Tingyuan looked at the little girl happily eating candied haws, but didn't say anything.
When they arrived at the side door of Qiao's house, they found Qixi and Shiye waiting there. They were also surprised to see Wen Tingyuan with her and quickly saluted.
"It's getting late today, and it's not very convenient for me right now, so I won't go to see your parents. Come in quickly!"
After watching her enter the door, Wen Tingyuan turned around and walked into the night.
Qixi, however, as soon as Qiao Yuning came in, she said anxiously: "I know about the affairs of the eldest princess's villa, and I want you to go to the study room as soon as possible."
Qiao Weisheng did not sit in front of the desk as usual, but waited directly in the yard.
As soon as Qiao Yuyan entered the door, she was already prepared when she saw his serious face, and without any fear, she walked forward generously and bowed first, "Dad!"
When Qiao Weisheng heard the news from over there, he was so shocked that he couldn't sit still.
She had just trusted her daughter and even asked her to take charge of the middle feed, but she turned around and did such a bold thing!
I was looking for someone over there in a hurry, but I heard from the eldest princess that someone had come back, and she actually dared to sneak back!
"you……"
Qiao Weisheng frowned, said one word, and then raised his hand to her face.
Qiao Yuyan was horrified. She didn't ask anything and just hit someone? This chapter has been completed!
