Upon hearing that the Four Seasons Fruit Tree Shop was owned by the Yan Family, Yang Chenghua also became a bit uneasy. He looked at Yan Wenkai to confirm, "Is the Four Seasons Fruits and Vegetables Shop really owned by your family?"
Yan Wenkai nodded affirmatively.
Yang Chenghua asked again, "What about the Four Seasons Seed Shop?"
Yan Wenkai replied, "That’s also my sister’s. Just hearing the name, it sounds like something she would come up with."
Yang Chenghua looked skeptical, "Are you sure?"
Yan Wenkai nodded, "Definitely." Speaking of which, he looked at Wentao, "Third brother, why don’t you tell the Prime Minister whether the Four Seasons Fruits and Vegetables Shop is indeed opened by our youngest sister?"
Wentao’s mind worked faster than Yan Wenkai’s. He had already sensed something amiss. Daohua’s Four Seasons Fruits and Vegetables Shop was far away in Zhongzhou; it couldn’t have spread to Beijing. Last time in the Northern Frontier, Wu Dingbo seemed to have mentioned the Four Seasons Fruits and Vegetables Shop too; it appeared to be a rather famous shop in Beijing.
"I don’t know."
Yan Wenkai glared, about to argue back, but then he also started to realize something was off. He looked towards Yang Chenghua, "Is there a Four Seasons Fruits and Vegetables Shop in Beijing?"
Yang Chenghua nodded.
Yan Wenkai said, "The name is exactly the same as that of my sister’s shop," and with that, glanced at Xiao Yeyang sitting in front of him.
Xiao Yeyang gave him a glance but ignored him, continuing to eat his food.
Seeing Yan Wenkai’s hesitation, Yang Chenghua, recalling that the Yan Family was indeed formidable in farming, reminded him, "The shopkeeper of the Four Seasons Fruits and Vegetables Shop is called Xiaoliu."
Upon hearing this, Yan Wenkai immediately said, "Ah, if it’s Xiaoliu, then I’m certain, that must be my sister’s shop, absolutely no mistake!"
Yang Chenghua’s eyes brightened, and he smiled as he took the wine cup from Yan Wenkai’s hand, "Then we have a deal, from now on you’ll have to deliver fresh vegetables for my daily meals."
Yan Wenkai smiled and nodded vigorously. Seeing Yang Chenghua drink the wine, he breathed a sigh of relief. No sooner had he taken his seat than he heard coughing from across the room. As he looked up, he saw Wu Jingyi sitting upright.
Yan Wenkai felt somewhat emotionally overwhelmed. What sins had they committed in the past? What kind of people had they provoked?
Wu Jingyi said cheerfully, "Don’t forget my share, now!"
Yan Wenkai, seeing that the other party was just asking for some fruits and vegetables, nodded hastily in agreement, "Rest assured, I won’t forget about you."
"And what about mine?"
Having won a great victory, the Emperor was in good spirits and inquired with a smile, curious to see Yan Wenkai’s reaction.
Yan Wenkai, not expecting the Emperor to ask, stood up and solemnly said, "Your Majesty, my whole being belongs to you, let alone mere fruits and vegetables." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"Pfft~"
"Pfft~"
"Pfft~"
In the great hall, a succession of snickers erupted.
The Emperor hastily grabbed a handkerchief passed by Eunuch An and quickly wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth as he watched Yan Wenkai, still looking rather foolishly at him.
As for the others, they also busied themselves with their heads down in slight disarray.
Yan Zhigao felt rather embarrassed at this moment, his legitimate son sure had a knack for shocking statements. How had he not noticed this before?
"Alright, sit down and eat!"
The Emperor waved his hand, dissipating the somewhat awkward atmosphere in the hall.
The officials began to toast and drink; during this time, their glances occasionally swept towards Xiao Yeyang, Yan Wenkai, and Wentao.
Xiao Yeyang’s identity was apparent, having been away from the capital for many years and now returning in glory, especially with both Prince Cheng’en and Xiao Yechen present today. However, there wasn’t a hint of joy between the family members reunited after a long separation, leaving everyone secretly looking forward to the drama.
As for Yan Wenkai, although his earlier remarks might have been inappropriate, they definitely showed his loyalty. Looking at his beaming smile, the officials sneered inwardly, labeling him a sycophant.
And as for Wentao... With a reserved and seldom-spoken demeanor, he emitted an aura of aloofness, stern and sharp, compelling respect from all around.
Looking at the exotic delicacies on the table, Yan Zhigao wasn’t the least bit hungry, occasionally glancing worriedly at Yan Wenkai and Wentao, fearing they might say or do something inappropriate again.
Sun Chang, seeing Yan Wenkai continuously toasting to the Grand Secretary and Governor Wu, couldn’t help but ask, "Lord Yan, your son and nephew seem quite acquainted with the Prime Minister and Governor Wu?"
Yan Zhigao paused, then smiled and shook his head.
Sun Chang was puzzled, "What does your head shake mean?"
Yan Zhigao replied, "If I say I don’t know what you’re talking about, would you believe me?"
