My father is Jiajing

Chapter 296: Go to the back door quietly
In the early morning, when the sky was slightly bright, the morning star in the east appeared before the sun and took a sneak peek at the earth before the dawn.

The snow-covered earth in the early morning also reveals a sense of coldness and aloofness, but snow is always beautiful. No matter how cold and aloof it is, there will always be people who can't help but tease it to express their love for the snow.

Yan Shifan came out of his warm bed early with the service of his favorite concubine.

But a man like him would not treat himself badly even if he came out of the warm bed, because the ground dragon had already made the house he lived in warm. So when Yan Shifan got up early in the morning, he would never struggle fiercely between the severe cold outside and the warm bed like many ordinary people.

"Go see if Luo Longwen is here?"

While Yan Shifan was having his collar buttoned by his favorite concubine, he did not forget to give instructions to the housekeeper and servants who were waiting outside the house.

After Yan Kuan heard Yan Shifan's voice, he immediately replied from outside the door: "Master, I just went to check, Mr. Luo is not here yet."

Although Yan Kuan was Yan Shifan's housekeeper in the East Building Villa, he was still as cold as a grandson at this moment. He was standing in front of Yan Shifan's door with white breath and a red nose, without any composure at all.

After buttoning up his clothes, Yan Shifan twisted his neck uncomfortably, and said to his concubine who had served him so hard the previous night with a little displeasure: "You always tie it so tightly, are you trying to strangle me to death?"

The concubine was frightened by Yan Shifan's rebuke and immediately knelt on the ground, saying aggrievedly, "No, it may be that the tailor cut corners when making clothes for you, so you feel that way."

After Yan Shifan heard his favorite concubine's explanation, he stopped and thought for a moment, "Humph, you actually dared to cheat on me. Yan Kuan! Go break the hands of the tailor who made my clothes and kick him out of the house!"

Yan Shifan shouted at Yan Kuan outside and directly blamed the tailor for the crime. He didn't even think about whether it was because he ate too much sugar and didn't exercise much that he gained weight and made his clothes look too small.

But how could a man like Yan Shifan think of himself as the problem? So the tailor was doomed to be unlucky.

After Yan Shifan finished instructing Yan Kuan, his expression changed again, and he smiled and pinched his concubine's little face, "I really wronged you. I will let Yan Kuan compensate you later."

When the concubine heard what Yan Shifan said, she was overjoyed and said to him tenderly, "I don't want any reward, I just want you to be good to me."

Yan Shifan laughed, "My reward to you is a kindness to you."

After chatting with his favorite concubine for a few more words, Yan Shifan came out of the room.

Feeling the cold air outside, Yan Shifan shrank his neck uncomfortably, "It's really cold. But it's getting better."

Yan Shifan was still looking forward to good news from Luo Longwen, so even though the weather outside was very cold, Yan Shifan felt that it was a bright and sunny day.

But Yan Shifan waited and waited at home, thinking that Luo Longwen would come to announce the good news early in the morning, but it was almost past noon, why hadn't he come yet?

This couldn't help but make Yan Shifan a little unhappy, because what he hated most was waiting.

But Luo Longwen made him wait for so long. Wasn't this clearly a test of his patience?

So at this moment, even the osmanthus lotus seed soup that Yan Shifan usually liked to drink was not sweet anymore. In anger, he picked up the Yirantang collector's edition small sugar jar beside him and started to eat it with a small spoon.

This collector's edition of Yiran candy is a new product released this winter. It is even sweeter than the original regular Yiran candy. Therefore, Yan Shifan fell in love with this candy as soon as it came on the market. He felt that the previous Yiran candy was not as flavorful as the current one.

After eating a spoonful of the collector's edition of Yiran candy, Yan Shifan's mood finally improved a little.

After a while, Yan Shifan asked Yan Kuan again, "Has Luo Longwen arrived?" Yan Kuan shrank his head and replied in a low voice, "Mr. Luo hasn't arrived yet."

Yan Shifan was displeased again. He said to Yan Kuan, "Why don't you go back to check on him when he's not here? Why are you standing here every day? Are you comparing heights?"

Yan Shifan scolded Yan Kuan so much that he lowered his head and apologized, then hurriedly fled to find Luo Longwen.

At this time, Luo Longwen wanted to die.

He was waiting for good news early in the morning, but while he was waiting, he got the news that Liu Zhiyuan was taken away by Hai Rui.

As soon as the news came back, Luo Longwen felt a black screen in front of his eyes and thought that everything was over.

But Luo Longwen soon calmed down. Fortunately, the person who delivered the wine and the people who went to do business in the middle of the night were not the same group, and they were not aware of each other's affairs, so everything could still be saved.

Therefore, what Luo Longwen was anxious about at this time was the news that he had to set out in the middle of the night to go to the workers' shed dormitory outside Chongwenmen and drag people into the snow.

However, after he waited for the city gates to be opened for nearly half an hour, still no one came back to report the news. This made Luo Longwen feel uneasy. Could there be another accident?
Just when Luo Longwen was about to give up, a clever man he had never seen before braved the severe cold of the early morning and came to his house with his face red from the cold to report to him.

"Is this Master Luo Longwen's home?"

A clever man wearing a dog-skin hat knocked on the door of Luo Longwen's residence in the capital, sticking his head out and shouting inside.

The people in the courtyard heard the noise outside and immediately started to move. Luo Longwen's doorman, who was warming himself by the fire, came out of the door unhappily and said to the clever man knocking on the door, "Why are you knocking so early in the morning? Do you know the rules? Is there anyone who knocks like you? And you keep knocking? Did someone die in your family?"

The clever man in the dog-skin hat smiled innocently, "No one is dead, no one is dead. No, no, no, someone is dead."

The man in the dog-skin hat was talking incoherently, and Luo Longwen's doorman immediately changed his expression. He said angrily: "What are you talking about, you evil creature? Get out of here quickly, this is not a place for you to beg for food."

But how could the man in the dog-skin hat leave so easily? He immediately said hurriedly: "I came from outside Chongwen Gate. I have something urgent to do to see Master Luo Longwen!"

When the doorman heard that the person came from outside Chongwenmen, he was suddenly startled, for he knew something about his master's affairs.

But the concierge also asked cautiously: "Who are you?"

The man in the dog-skin hat replied, "I am Cao San, a subordinate of Boss Li. Boss Li asked me to come and tell you the news!"

After hearing the name "Boss Li", the doorman felt relieved, as he finally matched the name.

Then the concierge looked around and found that there was no one in the street, so he said to Cao San: "Keep your voice down and go to the back door. Don't let anyone see you."

There is still one chapter before twelve o'clock. I have been busy lately and it has been raining heavily, which makes me feel uneasy. . .
