Chapter 211 Don’t learn from the good ones and learn from the bad ones
Looking at each other.
Xu Jian could clearly see her own appearance in Lin Yunyan's eyes.
Coupled with her smile, the corners of Xu Jian's lips subconsciously twitched slightly.
A laugh escaped from his throat, and Xu Jian whispered: "Grasshopper..."
He had heard Lin Yunyan mention this statement before.
It's just an analogy, and Xu Jian doesn't mind being compared to a bug. It's just this grasshopper, which doesn't sound good.
"It was okay before," Xu Jian said casually, "Isn't it unlucky to say that now?"
After hearing what Xu Jian said, Lin Yunyan suddenly remembered it.
In the past, when she mentioned grasshoppers, Xu Jian didn't even respond.
Only once, when they were besieged and it was difficult to move forward and back, she laughed at herself as a "grasshopper", which resonated with Xu Jian.
Who said they were indeed grasshoppers after autumn?
Even if I want to, I can't do it for a few days.
The unwillingness and resentment at that time, and the persistence of having no choice but to try again, turned into such self-deprecation, which is also a true portrayal.
But it does seem unlucky today.
But...
Lin Yunyan pursed her lips.
When it comes to avoiding the important and taking the easy, Xu Jian is really good at it.
She asked him to "praise well" and he told her "grasshopper".
"In the past six months, I have often talked with my grandmother," Lin Yunyan added some drink for herself, took a sip, and said, "My grandmother's temper spread throughout the backyard of the Duke's house.
I'm thin-skinned and can't speak harshly. If I want to point out something, I have to lay the groundwork first and go around it three times before I try to speak.
I said she was too arrogant and exhausted. She just said what she needed to say.
She has indeed gradually changed over the past few years. Although she still can't speak harsh words, her words are sincere and sincere, and they still touch people's hearts."
Xu Jian clicked his tongue.
Do you still dislike grandma for going around in circles?
Isn’t the little princess just around now?
Let's take my grandmother as an example. Even if she goes around like this, she won't be afraid of fainting herself.
"The princess has given you good guidance, and the old lady will definitely be more diligent in the future." Xu Jian said.
Lin Yunyan frowned slightly.
There was a hint of smile in Xu Jian's eyes, but her words were still so "meaningful".
If she gave good advice, what did Xu Jian learn from her?
I learned her weird ways.
Thinking of this, Lin Yunyan raised her eyebrows and smiled angrily.
She obviously has so many advantages, but Xu Jian does not imitate the good ones, but imitates the bad ones!
After thinking about it again, there is nothing wrong with the yin and yang weirdness. Every day, he looks like he is having fun and does not mind the trouble. The Holy Master is used to it, and Li Shao is probably getting angrier the more he thinks about it.
The angrier Li Shao gets, the better it is for them.
That's right, the energy in my heart is still a little bit hard to let go.
Lin Yunyan simply got up and went out to call Wan Yue: "Let the waiter serve the food and add two bowls of plain noodles."
Wan Yue was stunned for a moment: "Simple noodles?"
The empress dowager has always liked big fish and meat, and the princess has followed her since she was a child. She also eats delicacies from the mountains and seas. Why did she suddenly want to eat vegetarian noodles?
As she was thinking, the princess seemed to notice her doubts and said: "It's a rare luxury."
Wan Yue is confused.
How is plain noodles considered a luxury?
Then, she heard a laugh in the private room, obviously she was also amused by "luxury".
Oh, she understands.
The princess and the Duke are joking.
Okay, as long as the two of them are happy.
After Wan Yue gave her instructions, Lin Yunyan turned back to the table and sat down.
There was still a smile in Xu Jian's eyes, which was getting deeper and deeper, and even the corners of her lips were curled up.
The waiter quickly brought out all the dishes, including two bowls of hot plain noodles.
The soup base is clear, with shredded bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms, tofu skin, small pieces of soft tofu, and garnished with green beans, the aroma is overflowing.
After the waiter exited, Xu Jian commented: "It's really luxurious."
It is much more luxurious than the plain noodles that the little princess gave him from the front.
That's really clear water noodles, with some wild vegetables.
It happened that people were at the end of their rope, and it was better to have a stutter than to be hungry. The two of them shared a bowl, and there was not even a mouthful of soup left.
After eating the hot soup noodles, Lin Yunyan felt much more comfortable.
It’s still a good day and a comfortable life.
With Xu Jian, you can have a bit of a temper and buy whatever you can think of without worrying about money at all.
Unlike those hard days, just thinking about how to survive, even bickering is a luxury.
Such a good life must last for a long time.
The night wind is getting stronger.
Shan Shen, who was working hard in front of the desk, stood up and left the study. While moving, he hit his tight waist.
Looking up, I happened to see Xu Jian coming back with a food box in his hand.
"I brought some snacks to Mr. Shan." Xu Jian said.
Shan Shen suddenly became energetic.
The Duke of Fu was so considerate. He knew that he had worked hard all day, and even his dinner consisted of two steamed buns and some side dishes, and he even brought him food.
"When I'm done with this, I'll go back and wipe my face, warm a pot of wine, and feel at ease!" Shan Shen rubbed his hands.
Is there anything more relaxing than a late-night snack with side dishes and wine after work?
No more!
This is it!
Shan Shen happily put away the food box and asked smoothly: "What did the Duke eat?"
"Simple noodles." Xu Jian said.
Shan Shen was stunned, thought for a while, then opened the food box and took a look.
Crystal elbow white cut lamb.
It’s okay, it’s all meat and vegetables.
Shuntian Mansion has been busy for a few days.
Before the seal was sealed, a group of candidates were moved into Lao Shi Lane and other candidates were given subsidies.
Shenghui Pavilion opened for business, and Chen Gui, the apparent owner, was smiling, but when he stood behind the counter, he didn't dare to step hard on the ground with his feet.
There are gold bricks buried underneath.
There are floor tiles, rammed earth, and boxes and cages between them. The bricks are not something that can be stepped on, but they are in my heart.
He could only tell himself over and over again in his heart that it would be difficult for this business to prosper if he were to sit on gold bricks.
On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Yamen seals the seal.
Shan Shen breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed: "I have been busy for a whole year, so I can count on a few days of rest."
Zhang Yuan also said: "But we must have a good year."
After all, they are Gyeonggi parent officials. If something big happens during the New Year, they will have to come to the Yamen and work overtime.
"If you are stable during the New Year, you must also be stable after the new year," Shan Shen said. "I don't want to open the seal next year and start kowtowing to apologize again."
Thinking about the beginning of this year, before everyone could recover from the joy, something happened in Laoshi Alley.
That taste...
Shan Shen didn't want to remember, so he cupped his hands with Xu Jian and said, "I have worked hard these days for you."
Xu Jian said: "I came here to kill time, it's not hard work at all."
"What are your plans after the new year?" Shan Shen asked.
To be honest, he still liked Fu Guogong sitting in Shuntian Mansion.
This person doesn't interfere in things, and he doesn't shirk when he needs to take action. He is truly an effective Bodhisattva.
But he also knows that Fu Guogong cannot stay here forever...
Xu Jian thought for a moment and said, "Let's see how the Holy One arranges it."
"That's right." Shan Shen nodded, it's hard to disobey your order.
Xu Jian added: "It's been a pleasure working with Mr. Shan. If I need help in the future..."
When Shan Shen heard this, he subconsciously said: "Oh, the Duke is so polite!"
"Then I won't use polite words," a smile flashed in Xu Jian's eyes, "When I need Mr. Shan's help, I will speak directly."
