Chapter 180 Master Yuan
Chapter 180 Master Yuan
Her confusion now is whether Duan Hongyi is involved in this matter.
Before returning, Xiao Wan sent Zhang Liang to find Duan Hongyi, but was told that the boss was not there.
Xiao Wan became more and more confused, but she had no idea for the time being, so she had to let go.
At this moment, Old Man Xiao came back and called Liu as he walked in.
Xiao Wan was surprised and hurried out to greet him.
The old man was seen walking in with his father helping an old man, followed by three or four people. Xiao Wan looked carefully and found that it was the old man she had seen in the county government office that day.
How did Dad meet him?
Xiao Wan went over and called out "Dad" in surprise, and Liu also came out.
The old man smiled slightly when he saw Xiao Wan: "Miss, I think we have met before."
Xiao Wan bowed and the old man accepted it.
The middle-aged man next to him had a fair and beardless face. He looked around vigilantly, which made Xiao Wan even more puzzled.
Father Xiao said to his family, "Wan'er, go make some tea for Master Yuan. Dad was robbed on the road, and it was thanks to Master Yuan and his group that he saved me."
Liu and Xiao Wan asked anxiously if everything was okay.
Old Man Xiao smiled innocently and said that he was fine, fortunately Master Yuan arrived in time.
Xiao Wan and Liu hurriedly thanked her again. Xiao Wan complained that her father went out without taking housekeeper Tian with him.
Mr. Yuan waved his hand, looked at Xiao Wan thoughtfully, and followed her into the room.
The middle-aged man followed Mr. Yuan closely all the time and stood behind him. A man who looked like a housekeeper also sat down. The other four guards stood on both sides of the entrance of the Xiao family's hall, which made Liu and Xiao Wan amazed.
It seems that Mr. Yuan comes from a wealthy family, otherwise he would not bring so many people out.
After Mr. Yuan sat down, Mrs. Tian brought a pot of hot tea. Xiao Wan poured it herself and also poured a cup for the butler who was sitting there.
The middle-aged man was about to step forward, but Mr. Yuan gave him a look and he had to step back.
Xiao Wan said enthusiastically, "Master Yuan, my father is grateful to you for saving him. I will definitely stay for a meal today."
Master Yuan smiled and nodded, and Xiao Wan then asked Master Yuan where he was going.
Mr. Yuan said he was a businessman from the capital. He heard that this was the birthplace of flour products and came to see it. He happened to see Old Man Xiao being robbed, so he helped him.
Father Xiao continued, "Thank you so much, old man. Do you have a place to stay today? If not, stay at my house. My house is quite spacious."
The middle-aged man was about to stop him, but Master Yuan gave him a look, and he had no choice but to look at Master Yuan and agree.
He then introduced the middle-aged man to everyone as his follower, and the person sitting below him was his steward Zhao Xian.
Xiao Wan secretly laughed in her heart at herself for guessing right. Although Zhao Xian was the housekeeper, he had the temperament of a scholar and looked like he was well-read in poetry and books.
Xiao Wan bowed to Mr. Yuan and asked her father to accompany her to talk about the local customs and culture, while she went downstairs to prepare food.
In the kitchen, Aunt Zhang was already washing dishes. Seeing Xiao Wan come in, she asked worriedly, "Miss, what should we cook to entertain our distinguished guests?"
Xiao Wan smiled slightly and comforted Aunt Zhang: "Don't worry, I will tell you slowly."
The first thing to do is to stew some chicken soup. Mr. Yuan is quite old, so stewing some chicken soup is definitely a good way to nourish him.
Xiao Wan rolled up her sleeves and started chopping the chicken, but was stopped by Tian Shuang.
"My dear girl, please let me chop it and you can figure out what seasonings to add. I'll do the rough work."
Xiao Wan was helplessly asked to step aside and had to do something else.
Tian Shuang was finally satisfied. Her father had taught her and her brother that if a girl was nice to them, they should know what was right and what was wrong. They should be the first to do some work. This was the most basic principle!
What's more, the girl is already a county lady, her status is extraordinary and even more precious.
Tian Shuang often cooks with Xiao Wan, and she is now a capable girl.
She chopped the chicken into small pieces quickly, boiled water in a pot, blanched the chicken pieces, and put them into the casserole prepared by Xiao Wan.
Put some nourishing herbs in it and then add water.
Xiao Wan added a little more spiritual spring water while no one was paying attention.
She had a good impression of this Mr. Yuan. He had a kind and amiable face and saved her father, so she didn't feel bad at all about releasing the spiritual spring water.
What's more, she saw that Mr. Yuan didn't look very well. She wondered if he was tired from the journey. She thought she would add some spiritual spring water to help him recover his spirit.
Speaking of her space, it has expanded a lot, and the area of the spiritual spring has also expanded a lot, now the size of a small pond.
Xiao Wan planted fruit trees there and used the rest of the land to grow potato seedlings.
Now Bai Tuantuan doesn’t just stay in the space. It’s so lively outside, so it often comes out for a stroll and has become familiar with everyone.
Just like now, it ran away to who knows where, and Xiao Wan was too lazy to care about it.
Anyway, it won't hurt anyone, and it will run home when it's hungry.
