Chapter 277 (1/2)
On April 17, Luyuan
The sky is sunny and even dazzling. Birds and insects sing in the deer garden, which makes it more quiet. Under the leafy pear tree in father Liu's yard, it naturally becomes a cool world
After lunch at noon, father-in-law Liu took a nap on the recliner under the pear tree in the yard. Two small eunuchs waited on one side and played a fan for father-in-law Liu. As usual, father-in-law Liu slept for almost an hour and didn't wake up until about five minutes later.
Seeing Grandpa Liu wake up, the two little eunuchs next to him immediately handed over towels, hot tea and warm bird's nest soup
Grandpa Liu wiped his face with a towel, rinsed his mouth with herbal tea, and finally picked up the white jade like porcelain bowl and drank the stewed bird's nest soup slowly.
”Well, today's bird's nest soup is well prepared. It's a little different from the winter melon bird's nest soup we used to drink before. The soup should be fresher. The bird's nest looks crystal clear. Yes, yes, how did you transfer it from the hot kitchen...” Grandpa Liu commented in a sharp voice while drinking the bird's nest soup.
”It's made by the back kitchen with tender chicken, good ham and fresh mushrooms. If your father-in-law likes it, let the back kitchen do it next time...” xiaochunzi immediately bowed down and replied.
”Just once every three days. If you eat too many good things, it's boring. Once every three days, our family can leave a thought for the tongue...”
”What my father-in-law said is!”
Just after drinking two spoonfuls, Grandpa Liu suddenly remembered something, and the action on his hand slowed slightly, ”by the way, what's the date today...”
”April 17, April 17...” little plum quickly connected.
”I haven't seen the new captain Yan for many days. It's almost a month...”
”Well, Captain Yan came to Luyuan on the 20th of last month. In three days, he will come to Luyuan for a month...”
”What is colonel Yan doing these days? Why haven't you heard from him and seen him?” Grandpa Liu asked inadvertently while drinking.
”It's said that Colonel Yan goes out early and returns late these days. He stays in the mountain forest of the arrow field every day. Only sooner or later can he see him where he lives...”
”Oh!” Grandpa Liu suddenly stopped his hand and showed an interested look, ”hasn't he left Luyuan these days“
”I also asked the guard yesterday. In this month, Colonel Yan has never left Luyuan. The servants who deliver meals to him can see him every day...”
”What else?”
”Also, I heard that Captain Yan ordered two batches of heavy ironware at the blacksmith workshop in Luyuan. The blacksmith Workshop said that those things were repaired by guard Yan...”
”Captain Yan wears shoes very fast these days. It is said that he wears out a pair of shoes almost every day. A few days ago, guard Yan asked someone to send him 20 pairs of shoes at one time...”
”By the way, a few days ago, Captain Yan also received a ten stone strong bow in the warehouse...”
”The servant who delivered food to Yan Xiaowei said that once when he went to deliver food, he saw a red light flashing in Yan Xiaowei's yard. He thought it was on fire, but later found that ye was not on fire...”
”What's more, Yan Xiaowei's appetite seems to have doubled in a month when he came to Luyuan...”
Xiao Li Zi and Xiao Chun Zi spoke to each other and complemented each other. With just a few words, they reported to Grandpa Liu the big and small things Yan Liqiang had done in Luyuan in the past month. Xiao Li Zi and Xiao Chun Zi are basically equivalent to Grandpa Liu's eyes and ears in Luyuan. What happened in Luyuan, Few can hide it from both of them.
”I have to wear out a pair of samurai shoes and a ten stone bow in one day, and my appetite has doubled in a month...” Grandpa Liu murmured. His snow-white eyebrows suddenly raised, his eyes glittered, gently put down half of the bird's nest soup on his hand, and then stood up. ”Today's weather is good. We haven't wandered around the deer garden for a long time, I'll walk around. You two don't have to follow me... ”
Xiaochunzi and Xiaoli looked at each other, lowered their heads at the same time, ”yes!”
With that, Grandpa Liu left the yard
