Xiao An took the wine jar and faced the burning eyes of the Three Treasures, the brothers of life and death. Xiao An himself was ready to make a move.

Last time I went to visit the He family, I overheard Uncle He and Aunt He mentioning during a chat that a matchmaker had gone to the He family to inquire about it, hoping to introduce a man to go on a blind date with Lian'er and marry into the He family to support the family.

Xiao An has been hiding this matter from Yang Ruoqing, and she originally didn't want to care about it, but for some reason in the past two days, she felt a little uneasy when she thought of the words about matchmaking and blind dates.

Once something is settled, it's difficult to overturn it.

Thinking of this, Xiao An raised his head and drank all the wine in the jar.

If you are not afraid of death, why are you still afraid of proposing marriage?

Qing'an County, Tianxiang Tower.

He Lian'er wore a tall chef's hat and a white apron around her waist. Her rolled-up sleeves revealed two smooth and delicate arms like lotus roots. She was holding a rolling pin and following her master to knead the dough repeatedly on the chopping board.

noodle.

The smooth and soft dough was kneaded submissively under her deft yet strong fingers, as if it had been given a soul.

Beside him, the master looked on with a smile and nodded secretly.

This girl is young and very talented at making pasta.

There are many people in this world who are talented in a certain profession, but they may not all have the perseverance and perseverance to persevere.

But this girl is different. She has everything, and she works harder and is more attentive than others.

The pastry chef Yang Ruoqing poached from Yangzhou at a high price became more and more satisfied and planned to train her well.

The two masters and apprentices were giving instructions while the other was studying carefully. Yang Huazhou suddenly came in from the outside and went straight to the pastry area of ​​the big kitchen room.

"Lian'er, come here, I have something to tell you."

He waved to He Lian'er from some distance away, and nodded politely to the pastry chef.

After the pastry chef responded to Yang Huazhou, he said to He Lian'er: "The shopkeeper has something to do with you. We will study here for today. You can go ahead!"

He Lian'er agreed softly and hurried to Yang Huazhou's side.

"Shopkeeper, what's going on?"

Although Yang Huazhou asked her to call him fifth uncle, He Lian'er insisted on calling him the shopkeeper in the restaurant.

Unless Yang Huazhou was a guest at her home, she would call her Fifth Uncle.

"Lian'er, your mother asked someone to send a message to you, asking you to take some time to go back."

He Lian'er's face turned pale immediately: "My mother? Did something happen to my family?"

As she spoke, she took off the hat on her head, and without bothering to untie the apron around her waist, she rushed out.

Yang Huazhou held her back: "Don't panic. Your mother said there was nothing going on at home, so she told you not to panic. Forget it, let me go with you!"

To be honest, Yang Huazhou himself didn't know what happened to the He family. In the past, when Lian'er worked here, the He family had never asked anyone to call her back.

Could it be that the condition of Father He's leg injury has changed?

Xiao An and Qing'er were not here. As the fifth uncle, Yang Huazhou felt that he had to fulfill his parental duties and go over to check on the situation.

When Yang Huazhou and He Lian'er rushed to He's house as quickly as possible, they found a horse tied to the tree at the door.

"Isn't this Xiao An's horse? Xiao An is here too?" Yang Huazhou asked in surprise.

He Lian'er looked confused.

The two of them entered the courtyard, which was quiet.

Hearing the footsteps, Mother He poked her head out of Father He's room. When she saw He Lian'er coming back, her eyes were obviously a little surprised. But when she saw Yang Huazhou following He Lian'er, Mother He's expression became slightly complicated, but

He was quickly greeted warmly and said hello.

After He's mother exchanged a few words with Yang Huazhou, He Lian'er quickly asked He's mother: "Mom, what's going on with you calling me back in such a hurry?"

He's mother's eyes flickered and he hesitated: "It's nothing, don't worry, we'll talk about it later. What's more, Shopkeeper Yang invites you to the house quickly, Lian'er's father is awake..."

Yang Huazhou went into the house to talk to Father He and Master Qiao. Mother He made a bowl of tea for Yang Huazhou and quickly took He Lian'er to the yard.

He Lian'er looked around and said, "Mom, I clearly saw brother Xiao An's horse tied outside. Where are the others?"

When asked about Xiao An, He's mother's expression became complicated and strange, "He is sleeping in this room, you come with me."

sleep?

He Lian'er became more and more confused, and was pulled into her boudoir by He's mother in confusion.

As soon as I came in, I smelled a pungent smell of alcohol.

He Lian'er put two fingers under her nose and turned her face slightly, and then she saw Xiao An lying on her bed and sleeping soundly without even taking off her shoes.

This double bed was usually too big for her to sleep on alone, but when Brother Xiao An climbed up, it had long arms, long legs, and a wide body, and the double bed suddenly seemed so small.

"Brother Xiao An?"

He Lian'er came to the bedside with gentle steps and called out a few times in a low voice.

"Stop shouting, even a thunderstorm won't wake him up right now." He's mother stood behind him and said.

He Lian'er turned her head to look at Mother He, then turned back to look at the drunk Xiao An. His face was red and his whole body exuded the pungent smell of alcohol.

She had never looked at his facial features as carefully as she did now. Now that she took a closer look, he looked really... very manly!

He Lian'er's face turned slightly red.

"Brother Xiao An, how much wine have you drunk? I'll go get some water to wipe him down first."

After He Lian'er finished speaking, she turned around, picked up the basin and left the house.

Soon she returned to the bedside with the basin in hand, twisting the handkerchief and carefully wiping Xiao An.

Mother He stood aside and watched He Lian'er do this for Xiao An gently and carefully. The woman's eyes were filled with both relief and worry.

"Lian'er, why don't you ask him why he is so drunk?" Mother He asked in surprise.

He Lian'er shook her head gently, "Brother Xiao An is a man. When working outside, there must be social activities that cannot be avoided. Drinking a little wine is nothing, it is just harmful to the body..."

She tilted her little head, thinking that she would have to cook some millet porridge for him later and wait for him to wake up.

He's mother took a step forward and said to He Lian'er: "Xiao An came to our house with several jars of wine and proposed marriage in front of me and your father!"

The handkerchief in He Lian'er's hand fell into the basin with a bang.

A pair of beautiful eyes are also wide open.

But then she picked up the handkerchief, lowered her head, put the handkerchief in the basin and twisted it over and over again, biting her lip, and her breathing became confused.

He's mother's voice kept coming to her ears: "This guy is also stupid. Maybe he has never done such a thing before. I don't know who gave him the idea. He thought that drinking would make him brave, so he would do it in front of everyone after proposing marriage.

He poured wine in front of us, but we only asked him a few questions before he got himself drunk."

"Master Qiao and I can only help him to your room to lie down for a while, and then call you back."

He Lian'er's heart had already jumped out of her throat. There were thousands of voices singing in her head. Her feet were light and unsteady, and the handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a twist.

Red clouds covered her face, even her earlobes and neck were all red.

She didn't dare to look up at Mother He, let alone the man sleeping soundly on the bed behind her.

It seemed like something was hitting her heart hard. She was a little unsteady, but she wanted to jump, fly, and spin. It seemed like spring was coming all of a sudden, and flowers everywhere were blooming, red and yellow.
