Chapter 339 My heart feels warm
The Third Master was a little at a loss for a moment when he heard Lan's praise again after so many years.
He hesitated and said, "It's okay, just okay."
Then he continued, "Yun Niang, I've been running around for half a day and finally bought some beef, but I haven't had dinner yet. I'm too lazy to bother the kitchen, so could you ask the small kitchen to make me something to eat?"
Lan frowned and was about to refuse.
The third master added cautiously, "Just cook a bowl of noodles, the same as what we had on New Year's Eve last time. I'm not picky!"
Lan rolled her eyes. It’s good enough to have something to eat. How dare you be picky?
In the end, considering the fifty kilograms of beef, he reluctantly ordered, "Make a bowl of chicken noodle soup for the master."
When the third master got the news, he immediately followed Lan into the house with a smile on his face.
When they reached the door, Lan turned around and said, "Why are you following me? The noodles will be ready soon. Go back to your room and eat your noodles! Didn't you say you didn't have dinner?"
The third master was very touched. His daughter-in-law really cared about him!
At that moment, I gained more courage: "I, you should eat with me too, and I will tell you about buying beef."
Lan originally didn't want to let the third master into the house, but when she heard this, her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that buying beef would lead to some other story?
Seeing that my son is about to take the imperial examination, I can’t let anything go wrong.
For this reason, Lan reluctantly let the third master follow her into the main room.
The two sat down separately. The maid looked at Lan's expression and brought her tea.
The third master had not enjoyed such treatment for a long time and was a little flattered for a moment.
He hurriedly picked up the tea, took two sips and moistened his throat.
Before he even sat down, Lan asked, "What happened to buying beef? What went wrong?"
The Third Master was about to cry. He wiped his eyes with his sleeve and said, "Yun Niang, it's rare that you care about me so much. I, I——"
Lan was extremely irritable. Seeing the Third Master's clingy appearance, she got angry: "I care about you——"
The word "fart" was on the tip of his tongue, but he remembered the character and upbringing of the Lan family and managed to hold it back.
After enduring for a while, he finally spoke again: "If you still want to eat noodles here, then stop talking nonsense to me. What went wrong with buying beef?"
The Third Master looked at Lan's impatient expression. Although he felt wronged, he still said honestly, "Although the laws of our dynasty forbid the killing of oxen, it's really not a big deal for a family like ours. Although I'm not as good as my eldest and second brothers, I do have a few friends outside."
"Tell them, and everyone went out to ask a few places. They originally said they could find a way to move it, but for some reason, when they saw me, they changed their tune and said there was nowhere to move it. There really is no place to move it these days."
"In the end, one of my brothers found a way out on the edge of the city and bought half a head. I got 50 kilograms."
"I'm still wondering, what's the matter? Do you think I can't afford it? Or do you think I don't look like someone who's going to buy beef?"
The third master is still complaining.
Lan became alert.
She was surprised that the buyers from the Marquis' Mansion didn't buy any beef today, as beef wasn't something rare or precious.
It can usually be bought, why do I go to so many places and no one says it’s out of stock?
That would have been fine, but when the third master Fu Heyin went to buy it and others asked, they all said they could move a little, but when they saw him, they said it was gone.
There must be something going on here!
I just don't know if it's aimed at Ningping Marquis' Mansion or their third branch?
Could it be that this idiot Fu Heyin has offended someone outside?
I couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
The third master, Fu Heyin, cried out in injustice: "Since the New Year, I have never been as honest as I am this year! Even when my brothers and friends invited me to drink New Year's wine, I refused, okay?"
"I just accompanied Grandpa and my eldest brother to drink New Year's wine with a few relatives, and then stayed at home the whole time."
"I've been going out a lot these past few days. Isn't that to show off our county lady's daughter-in-law? And I'm not that blind. The people I've been looking for are all friends I've known for decades!"
When the Third Master cried out for justice, Lan thought about it and realized that he had indeed been much more honest this year than before.
Is it really nothing to do with him?
Or maybe he shows off outside every day, and his friends can't stand it, so they deliberately make things difficult for him?
Lan couldn't help but think so.
I couldn't help but complain: "What does it have to do with you if Zhenzhen can become the county lady? You didn't help at all, so how can you have the nerve to show off to others?"
The Third Master argued confidently, "Why doesn't it matter? She's my daughter-in-law! She became the County Lady, and I'm her father-in-law! None of my friends are as lucky as me, to have such a face and glory! In the past, they always boasted to me about how many children they had and how noisy their grandchildren were. Humph! They thought I couldn't hear it, but they were just trying to annoy me! They were clearly bullying me because I only had Brother Yi!"
"Yes! I admit that I can't match their number of sons and daughters-in-law! But they are really good at what they do, and they can't compare to that! It's a rare opportunity for me to vent my anger, so why should I be embarrassed to show off? I have to get back at them for all these years."
Lan, Lan doesn't want to say anything to the Third Master, she is such a fool!
How could she be so blind as to fall in love with him?
With this mentality, saying he is eight years old is already giving him a compliment!
However, the third master's words dispelled her thoughts.
Being able to play with the Third Master Fu Heyin, and having done so for decades, I guess his brain is not that good either.
Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Lan rolled her eyes again and was about to say something when the servant brought the cooked noodles.
With the third master's mouth shut, Lan didn't say much.
The Third Master finished his noodles slowly, and before he could say anything, Lan was the first to send him away: "Alright, you've finished your noodles, it's time to go back! It's getting late, I need to rest!"
He drove the third master out without mercy.
The third master was driven out of the main house. He touched his full stomach and felt warm in his heart!
Although I still couldn't stay overnight in the main house, being able to have noodles alone with Lan was still an improvement.
I believe that if he continues to work hard, he will be able to make it to the top sooner or later!
Lan had no idea that the Third Master had such ambitions. If she had known, she would have definitely spit at him and told him to stop dreaming.
Because I didn’t know, I slept quite well that night.
The next day, I went to Tingtaoju as usual. The beef delivered yesterday had been cleaned and was ready to be cooked.
Lu Zhenzhen was instructing the cook in the small kitchen. Seeing Lan coming over, she said a few more words and welcomed Lan into the house.
The two chatted for a while and then talked about beef.
Lan then casually told the strange thing that the third master had mentioned yesterday.
Lu Zhenzhen's hand paused, she was keenly aware of something.
