This night was the best night he slept since Lin Nan left him.
The next day.
Only then did Bai Yun and Yan Wenzhi formally go to see the Marquis.
When we arrived yesterday, Mr. Hou had already rested, so he didn't bother him again.
Lin Nan stood on the left side of Yan Wen. This was her husband's first official visit to her family, so she naturally had to accompany him.
"Yiyi, come here."
Now the Marquis is unhappy to see Yan Wenzhi. His granddaughter has only been here for a short time, but why is his grandson-in-law here now?
Yan Wenzhi knew that his journey would not be smooth, but it would not be like this.
Lin Nan pouted and refused to go over, and the Marquis turned cold, which was rare. He didn't know what kind of person her husband was. Since he had been recognized as his granddaughter, he naturally wanted to help her check.
"Yiyi, come here."
The Marquis called out again in a deep voice, but Lin Nanyi refused to go.
Just kidding, to put it bluntly, Yan Wenzhi is a family here, how could she let him work alone.
"No, I won't come over. I haven't seen Wen Zhi for a long time, and I really want to stay with him."
Then he forcibly took Yan Wenzhi's hand and interlocked it with his fingers.
She is expressing her feelings for Yan Wenzhi in her own way.
Bai Yun secretly smiled, but still did not dare to make any big moves in front of his father-in-law.
The Marquis sat up straight, and Zuo Fangyu immediately placed a pillow on his back.
From the moment Yan Wenzhi stepped into the Hou Mansion yesterday, he had already asked people to investigate him.
It just takes some time.
"Are you Yiyi's husband?"
Yan Wenzhi's face was calm, not panicking at all.
"yes."
It's good to be able to keep calm.
"Where do you live? How old are you?"
The Marquis was too lazy to be precise and asked directly in the most common language.
"I live in Qinghe Town. I am 20 this year. I had a serious illness before, but thanks to Yiyi, I am now getting better. I have passed the exam and am preparing for the provincial examination.
There is only one mother in the family, and the family background is innocent."
Yan Wenzhi naturally knew what they wanted to know. He suddenly had a granddaughter and a grandson-in-law.
It doesn't hurt to ask more, which just proves that they are really good to Yiyi.
As long as it was good to her, no matter what he was asked to do, he would be happy to do it.
Not arrogant or impetuous, this is also good.
"How did the children do on the exam?"
Bai Yun values a person's character the most. If he can pass Bai Yun's test, he must have good character.
“Qinghe Town ranked first in the county examination.”
Although the top spot in the county examination is nothing to them, it still proves Yan Wenzhi's talent and endurance in learning.
This is also good.
All things considered, they are all good.
The Marquis then softened his voice and said, "Okay, don't be nervous, we are all a family, just sit down!"
"Thank you, grandpa."
Yan Wenzhi shouted naturally. No one expected that he would follow Lin Nanyi to call his grandfather.
You know, many people in Kyoto are embarrassed when they see the Marquis. It is really rare to see someone as calm as him.
Seeing that he successfully passed the assessment, Lin Nanyi was relieved.
She had just thought about it. If they didn't like Yan Wenzhi and wouldn't let them be together, then she would take Yan Wenzhi and leave the capital after the Marquis got better.
Returning to Qinghe Town, there is nothing wrong with returning to the original life.
As long as they are together it will be fine.
Fortunately, fortunately, everything is not as bad as imagined.
There were more and more people in the Hou Mansion, and there was a lot of noise. Zuo Fangyu wrote to his wife overnight, asking her to rush back with her three sons.
There may be something big happening at home.
By the time my aunt hurried home, it was already two days later.
The people in the Hou Mansion had always thought that Mr. Hou was in good spirits these past few days and had regained some of his energy. Everyone quietly prepared everything and would never let him suffer any more.
Unexpectedly, my current spirit is getting better and better, and everything is developing in a good direction.
When the weather is nice, let Mr. Hou come out to bask in the sun, and his overall condition will improve a lot.
Two days later, Mrs. Zuo Yan returned to the Hou Mansion with her three sons.
When everyone met in the front hall, Yan held Lin Nanyi's hand and kept praising him.
God knows, she got angry just looking at her three sons, so why didn't she give birth to a daughter?
Her daughter is her little cotton-padded jacket.
Lin Nan saluted them softly, "Hello, aunt, and hello, three cousins."
Cousin? This is an identity they have never had?
It's so novel.
Zuo Fangyu's three sons are all more aggressive than Lin Nanyi. They have not yet started a family, and they all have to wait until they have a place in the court before considering starting a family.
So they didn't move out of the mansion, and now the Hou Mansion is still a big family.
"It's all my fault that I failed to live up to expectations and didn't give birth to a daughter. But now that I have Yiyi, I have eliminated the regrets for the rest of my life. If anything happens in the future, I will come to my aunt. Your mother has not been in Kyoto for many years, and there are some things that my aunt is not familiar with.
Also, don’t treat your aunt as an outsider."
Lin Nan was moved in her heart. She did not get the love she deserved from the Lin family, but it was realized by the Gu family, Bai Yun and Zuo family, Baifu, and Houfu.
It is still several times more feasible.
They regarded Lin Nanyi as family, and Lin Nanyi naturally regarded them as family.
It feels so good to have family protecting me.
"Okay, aunt, I won't be polite. You will all be my family from now on, so don't think I'm making any noise."
"No, if anyone dares to bully you in the future, we will kill him."
The three cousins said in unison.
What followed was a violent shock on everyone's head, "Fuck him again? If you don't practice martial arts seriously and study hard, you won't be able to fuck him until your sister is bullied."
The three cousins pursed their lips and did not dare to speak.
Hum, let them lose face in front of their new sister.
Lin Nan acted coquettishly and said to Zuo Fang Yu, "Uncle, don't worry about your cousins. These cousins are all beautiful. How can they be compared to ordinary people? Even if my cousins go out now, they can compare with others."
There are quite a lot of people.”
The three cousins immediately raised their arrogant heads and said on their faces, "Look, my sister has already praised us, but you have many things to do."
Zuo Fang Yuqi is not going anywhere, and will take care of these little brats after the recent situation has stabilized.
Several cousins were overjoyed to see Zuo Fangyu being grasped for the first time.
Although they are not young, they are well protected by the Marquis Mansion. They can stand up to the sky outside and put aside their worries at home.
It was a rare first time for the whole family to get together, so naturally they wanted to eat something delicious.
There is indeed a lot more food in Kyoto than in Qinghe Town. Lin Nanyi is going to make a tomato hot pot for everyone tonight.
There were many people in the Hou Mansion, and there were many dishes prepared in the kitchen. Lin Nan asked his mother-in-law to boil a pot full of water.
Use it to blanch tomatoes later.
She was busy working inside, while Yan Wenzhi played chess with Zuo Fangyu in the study.
Three cousins were watching the battle.
Zuo Fangyu has gone from being calm and calm at the beginning to being serious now. Every chess piece is placed after careful consideration.
The two of them were evenly matched, and the three cousins admired Yan Wenzhi greatly. You must know that there are not many people in Kyoto who can match their father's strength.
What's more, he is an unknown scholar.
"Did Wen Zhi really grow up in Qinghe Town?"
His chess skills are not those of a country boy.
Yan Wenzhi realized that Zuo Fangyu was suspicious of him.
"Well, I usually like to study on my own."
Those who can study to this level have extremely high talents.
Yan Wen's control was very good, and he was able to make Zuo Fangyu realize that his strength was extraordinary, but he planned to lose to him.
After the chess pieces were laid down, Zuo Fangyu breathed a sigh of relief.
It's been a long time since anyone has been able to play chess with him for so long.
Yan Wenzhi lost, so he stood up and bowed his hands in salute, "My uncle is a master of chess, and Wen Zhi is willing to lose."
Zuo Fangyu waved his hand, not liking this form, "I know your strength and what you mean. It doesn't matter. I'm happy to meet my opponent."
Meet your opponent in chess.
This is Zuo Fangyu's highest praise for the other party.
Yan Wenzhi lowered his eyes with a faint smile, "Thank you uncle for the compliment."
This sentence "uncle" is becoming more and more smooth.
Zuo and Yan came to the kitchen to help Lin Nanyi.
A pot of tomatoes has been peeled, and then cut into small dices and boiled in a pot.
Not long after, the kitchen was filled with a sweet and sour smell that made people salivate.
The thicker the tomatoes are boiled in the pot, the better. After they are cooked, Lin Nanyi starts to prepare other dishes.
A large table was prepared with all kinds of meats and vegetables.
Lin Nanyi once again cooked a pot of soup for Mr. Hou on a small stove. It was also made from tomatoes, but a lot of medicinal materials were added to it, so that he could start his dietary therapy while eating.
By the time the dishes were ready, the sun had already set, and a large table was set up in the yard. The pot with tomato juice was brought up and placed in the middle, then hot water was added, and after a few snorings, you could start eating.
The Marquis was in a good mood, so he also clamored to eat outside with them.
After everyone tried to persuade him to no avail, they had to dress him more thickly before allowing him to leave the room.
Lin Nan brought up a pot prepared for him alone.
"Grandpa, this is the little stove I opened for you. This is a treatment that no one else has. Try it."
"Okay! All the dishes are delicious. Grandpa loves them all."
Everyone sat down. They had never eaten in such a pot before, cooking and eating at the same time.
Lin Nanyi personally prepared the dipping sauce for everyone and then taught them how to eat it.
Put the chopsticks into the pot one by one, and when they come out, they are full of chopsticks, vegetables or meat.
Even though they lived in Kyoto, they had never tasted anything new like this.
The sourness in the pot and the spiciness of the dipping sauce made them immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.
Lin Nan couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw everyone putting the food into their mouths before it was cold. It was so hot that it was fried again in their mouths.
Everyone said nothing and concentrated on picking up and eating the vegetables. Even the Marquis was eating quietly in front of his own small stove.
This pot is extremely sour and spicy, so my aunt Yan ate a lot because she had a bad appetite in the past two days.
Not to mention the three cousins, in Zuo Fangyu's words, it was as if the Hou family had treated his three brothers badly, and each of them seemed as if they had never eaten.
