Marriage is not easy [Transmigration Book]

Wen Yelan laughed softly when he heard such a narcissistic statement.

"Xiao Qier, you really have changed a lot." Wen Yelan recalled the scene where they looked at each other in the yamen, the day when they worshiped each other, and Xiao Jin's change from being obedient to being decisive, he narrowed his eyes slightly, time passed It was really fast.

Xiao Jin looked at the fatigue between Wen Yelan's brows, and covered his eyes with his hands, the itch from the eyelashes rubbing against his palms seemed to fall into his heart.

"Wen Yelan."

Xiao Jin's voice was low, and it swept Wen Yelan's ears lightly like a feather. It was the first time he called Wen Yelan's name so seriously.

Wen Yelan moved her lips, but only let out a faint "En?"

Xiao Jin still covered Wen Yelan's eyes with his hands, so he couldn't see the expression in Wen Yelan's eyes clearly, and Wen Yelan couldn't see Xiao Jin's expression now, the room was very close, only the sound of the two breathing.

Xiao Jin pursed his lips, grabbed Wen Yelan's hand hanging on the table, slowly let go of the hand covering his eyes, looked into his eyes, and asked very seriously, "Wen Yelan, How much do you like me?"

At this moment, Xiao Jin suddenly wanted to know what Wen Yelan was really thinking.As long as Wen Yelan likes him a little, Xiao Jin can completely and unreservedly support everything Wen Yelan does here.

As long as Wen Yelan can give him the answer he wants.

Looking at Wen Yelan who was a little dazed by his question, Xiao Jin smiled wryly.He knew that now was neither the most suitable nor the most appropriate time to express his heart, but he couldn't bear it after all.

Wen Yelan looked at Xiao Jin who was hiding a bit of anxiety in his eyes, his tongue was a little dry, but he couldn't say anything, just kept silent.

Xiao Jin held Wen Yelan's hand tightly, but suddenly let go.Wen Yelan felt a "thud" in his heart, as if he was about to lose something, which made him flustered for a moment.

He looked at Xiao Jin who had pulled away, stretched out a hand that wanted to hold Xiao Jin but retracted it stiffly.

Xiao Jin sighed, he really had nothing to do with Wen Yelan.His businessman's nature can't play any role in front of Wen Yelan. He never forces others to like him. He is always willing to let go of those who want to leave. The same is true in front of business, either plunder or destroy. Don't give the person on the other side a chance to breathe, and don't give the person on the other side more time to think.

But if the opponent is Young Master Wen, Xiao Jin can't do this step.Facing Wen Yelan, he backed down step by step, all the while because he was reluctant, reluctant to let go of Wen Yelan, reluctant to make Wen Yelan sad, reluctant to... force him.

Xiao Jin rubbed his temples, every time he was with Wen Yelan, he wanted to press him down hard, to make him cry, to make him say he liked him over and over again.

"Young Master, I'm serious." Xiao Jin looked up at Wen Yelan, his concentrated eyes made Wen Yelan's hands tremble, "I...waiting for your answer."

Although Xiao Jin didn't say "like" on his lips, Wen Yelan already understood the other party's feelings for him.Looking at the back of Xiao Jin leaving, he suddenly fell into hesitation.

Xiao Jin walked out of the study room, looked at the setting sun and the dim sky, shook his head, and quickly walked back to his yard.

That night Wen Yelan locked himself in the study for the whole night, not knowing whether he was thinking about Xiao Jin's problem, or thinking about the things he talked about with Sister Xin and the others.

On the second day, Xiao Jin, who had nothing to do, remembered what he asked Xiao Daozi to do for him, so he asked Mei Lan to call someone over for him.

Xiao Daozi stayed in the capital all the time, and this was the first time Xiao Jin saw him when he came back.The brat before was much more mature and steady, the boy who was ignorant and stupid when he followed him to Liu Quanyong's mansion, is now a man who can stand on his own.

Xiao Jin was very relieved to see the shrewd trail in his eyes.

"Master Xiao!" Xiaodao was also very excited when he saw Xiao Jin, and laughed cheerfully while holding a pile of ledgers.At this moment, the person who seemed to be much smarter seemed to have returned to his original form.

"Xiao Dao, did the thing I asked you to do for me go well when I left?" Xiao Jin asked.

When Xiaodao saw that the other party asked about something serious, he immediately put away the stupidity on his face, nodded respectfully and said, "Master Xiao, everything is going well. The restaurants and colleges that you asked me to open when you and the young master left the capital are now in business. Very good, the old storyteller we invited in the restaurant gave a speech the next day based on the story you left, Mr. Xiao, and he was very popular with the guests, and the small ones in the restaurant also followed your instructions, whether it was decoration or vegetables, to keep an eye on it. Rigorous, and there are no mistakes for the time being. Although the academy is not as profitable as restaurants, many down-and-out, talented but unambitious scholars have been recruited into the academy to teach students, and we will charge more for those students as you said. Those poor children who can’t afford to go to school, although they don’t make any money, the teachers and parents of the students respect our academy very much.”

Xiao Jin listened to Xiaodao's report and nodded, Xiaodao handed him the accounts in his hand for review, Xiao Jin looked at them, and the numbers were not much different from what he thought.

"Keep an eye on the academy, some people may not like it. As for restaurants, there are many restaurants in the capital. Although we have more ideas than them, we can't be too lax. I will give you some orders later, and you let the restaurants The chefs here are all learning how to make it quickly, and treat it as a new cuisine. The old storyteller will bring it to me in a few days. I think his story is almost done. I just thought about it in the past two days. A new plot." Xiao Jin closed the ledger and handed it back to Xiaodao, Xiaodao listened to his instructions and nodded repeatedly.

"Tomorrow, I plan to take the young master to the restaurant. You can ask someone to prepare some pastries." Xiao Jin thought for a while, and then said to Xiaodao.

Xiaodao blinked his eyes, knowing that the "pastry" he was talking about should be the "special desserts" that Xiao Jin taught them to make in restaurants that are sold in limited quantities every day." Xiaodao straightened his back and nodded seriously: "Master Xiao, don't worry, I Go over and give orders later."

Xiao Jin said a few more words to Xiaodao, and then let him go back.

Both the restaurant and the academy were run by Xiao Jin and Wen Yelan before they left the capital. Since they got married, he and Wen Yelan have lived in the courtyard under Wei's mother. But Xiao Jin felt that it was always inappropriate.Moreover, Xiao Jin was not used to not having any money by his side, so he pondered over a lot of ideas for Xiaodao, and asked the other party to clean up for him.

Wen Yelan didn't tell Wen Yelan about the restaurant and the academy, they left in a hurry, and Wen Yelan had no chance to learn about these things from Xiao Dao and the others. Now that he has returned to Beijing, there are still some things waiting for Wen Yelan to deal with, and the restaurant opened by Xiao Jin He and the academy are just small businesses, even if Wen Yelan knew about it, he probably wouldn't care too much.

Xiao Jin just wanted to make some money, relying on storytellers to tell "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West" to earn popularity for the restaurant, and at the same time launch new dishes every day, as well as a limited number of pastries imitating modern times. These scattered ideas are enough for Xiao Jin to make a fortune.

The Wen family is still there, Xiao Jin and Wen Yelan have no power or power for the time being, Xiao Jin does not intend to make his business plan bigger, and Wen Yelan also hopes that he will become an official in the court, so it is not suitable for him to develop more industries.After all, sometimes if you earn too much, the number of jealous people will also increase. For this power-oriented dynasty, the gain outweighs the gain.

Xiao Jin just read the ledger given by Xiaodao, and in the few months since he left, the restaurant has made enough money to buy a simpler house in the capital.Xiao Jin propped his chin and thought about it carefully, and felt that he should discuss with his daughter-in-law, Young Master Wen, about buying a house.

They moved out of Wei's other courtyard, it would be great if Mother Wei would follow them to the new courtyard.But Xiao Jin thinks that Wei's mother is not willing to go to the new house with them. After all, Wei's mother is a widow, and her son is married. Before Xiao Jin and Wen Yelan left Wen's house, they were half driven away. They didn't want the house, and Xiao Qi'er's identity as the only son of a rich merchant's family was false. Although outsiders were a little confused, there was a reason for Xiao Jinwen Yelan to temporarily stay in the Wei's other courtyard. Now it has been several months. It was inappropriate for Jin and Wen Yelan to stay, and it was even more controversial.

Xiao Jin thought about it, and felt that it was necessary to have a good talk with Wen Yelan.

"Mei Lan, young master is still in the study?" Xiao Jin called Mei Lan who had returned from Wen Yelan's place to his side.

Mei Lan shook her head: "Master Xiao, the youngest didn't sleep all night, just fell asleep on the long couch in the study, and the younger one didn't dare to disturb him, and was about to go to the kitchen to warm some soup for him to wake him up. drink."

"Go, I'll go see him."

After Xiao Jin let Mei Lan go down, he walked towards Wen Yelan's study.

Xiao Jin silenced the boy guarding outside the study, carefully opened the door of the study, and quietly walked into the somewhat dark inner room.

The windows around the study were tightly closed, and a shallow figure was reflected in the screen not far from the door.The room was very quiet, Xiao Jin slowed down his steps, walked slowly behind the screen, and came to Wen Yelan who was sleeping soundly.

Wen Yelan frowned, seemed to be sleeping unsteadily, with a thin layer of sweat dripping from his forehead, Xiao Jin sat in a corner of the couch, looked down at the people below tenderly, persistently wiped his sleeves gently and fell asleep The forehead of the man, the fingers exposed outside the sleeves gently brushed his skin, as if the cold touch made the sleeping person underneath comfortably rub his cheek.
