He is tall and big

I ate longevity noodles at noon.

The noodles pulled by the chef of Emerald Yunju, one noodle dish fits into a bowl, the soup base is clear and full of flavor, a few emerald green scallions are dotted on it, it looks simple, but it shows real kung fu .

The longevity noodles that Ran Jiqiu ate in the past years were all made by himself, but thinking about it now, it is inevitable that he is a little sad, and his expression is a little sleepy.

Seeing that he had put down his chopsticks, Liu Ying handed him a cup of tea and asked, "Do you want to go back?"

If Ran Jiqiu wanted to, Liu Ying would go back with him.

Ran Jiqiu was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "No need." If he went back, Liu Ying would definitely follow him, but how could it be so easy for his mother to pass?

Maybe if he asked his mother's forgiveness and returned to Ran's house, Liu Ying would be separated from him from now on.Even if he can only steal a moment together, at this moment, he only wants to seek this moment of peace selfishly.

Liu Ying's hand stretched out from the side, tightly grasped his hand, and said in a deep and forceful voice, "Young master wants to go back, we will go back." He was not afraid of Ran's mother making things difficult, but he was afraid that the young master would feel uneasy about it.

Ran Jiqiu gave a soft "um", and clasped Liu Ying's fingers tightly with his backhand, as if he was drawing strength.

Before Ran Jiqiu could figure out whether to go back, someone from Ran's family came.

When Fang Shi appeared in front of him, Ran Jiqiu still couldn't recover, and asked in a daze, "Sister-in-law?"

Fang came closer and looked at him, and said, "Today is your birthday, let me come and see you."

Ran Jiqiu was a little ashamed, and murmured: "My sister-in-law is concerned..."

Fang said: "You are my younger brother, if I don't worry about who are you worried about?" Then he stuffed the food box he was carrying into his hand, "I wanted to make longevity noodles for you, but I was afraid of the long delay on the road , I can’t eat it after taking it, so I packed a few snacks, which are what you like to eat at home.”

Ran Jiqiu took the food box silently, and heard Fang ask, "Have you eaten longevity noodles?" He nodded.

Fang glanced at Liu Ying who was standing not far away, and was silent for a moment, hesitantly asked, "...Is he treating you well?"

Ran Jiqiu's face turned red immediately.

Fang looked at him and lowered his head, and sighed, "You really have lost your sleeves. If you like it, just keep him by your side, and it won't delay your starting a family."

Ran Jiqiu raised his head, "Sister-in-law, I, I just want to spend the rest of my life with him." He pursed his lips, his expression was shy, but he was very firm, "In my heart, he is not a first-rate child molester. I won't belittle him."

"You—" Fang was stunned, remembering that when she gave birth to a daughter, Ran's mother was dissatisfied and wanted Ran Zhonghui to take a concubine.The scholar who had just reached the weak crown was gentle and elegant, and he was not good at arguing with his mother, so he took the tactic of delaying the attack, reasoning that taking a concubine would be a distraction, and we will discuss this matter after passing the Jinshi examination.

Fang was still young at that time, and she wept secretly when she heard this. Later, he held her hand to persuade her, "You are my wife, and I only want to grow old with you." If you are a Jinshi, you will be appointed as an official, and you will go to the office with me, and if you are far away, my mother will not care about my concubine."

She was secretly happy in her heart, packed his luggage with her own hands, and sent him to Beijing for the exam.

pity.

It's a pity that her scholar didn't come back after all, and he didn't fulfill the promise to live with her forever.

Fang suddenly regained consciousness.

She looked at the grown-up boy in front of her, as if she saw the shadow of the scholar back then, and after a while, she sighed, "But you and him are both men, it would be fine if you were in your own home, but you followed him so vaguely." Come out, there is not even a personal servant around, in case he bullies you..."

"He won't." Ran Jiqiu said, his eyes slightly lowered, his face flushed again, "He, he treated me very well."

Seeing him like this, Fang knew that his love was deeply rooted, no matter how hard it was to persuade him to change his mind, she couldn't help but sighed softly, but even though she knew it was a waste of effort, she still wanted to ask, "Qiu'er, are you really not going back?"

Ran Jiqiu lowered his head, was silent for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Mother...is you still angry?"

"Qi is naturally angry." Fang said.

How can I not be angry, my son who has been raised for more than ten years, who has always been obedient and obedient, suddenly began to resist her orders one day, and even dared to elope with a man, who would not be angry about such a thing?

In particular, Ran's mother was high-minded and narrow-minded, and she didn't die of anger on the spot, because her body was exceptionally healthy.

"Since you want to be with him, you should think that your mother will be angry." Fang Shi said, seeing Ran Jiqiu's expression depressed, she hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly, "... Logic, I shouldn't say that, but, Qiu Son, I certainly hope that you can continue the incense for the Ran family, but I just occasionally think about it, if people live for others in just a few decades, what's the fun in it?"

Ran Jiqiu raised his head and stared blankly at her.

But Fang didn't say anything more, reached out and patted his head, and said softly, "Sister-in-law is talking nonsense, don't take it seriously." Then said, "If you want to come back, I'll go to mother's place to make things right."

What she didn't say was that when Liu Ying left with Ran Jiqiu in his arms, she couldn't stop her and was slapped by Ran's mother when she returned.Now that Ran Jiqiu was away from home, Ran's mother's temper suddenly became very bad, and even she rarely had a good face.At this time, she said it lightly, and at that time, the mere word "turn around" would be difficult to achieve.

Ran Jiqiu's eyes welled up with warmth, and he murmured, "Sister-in-law..."

Fang smiled, and straightened his clothes again, "It's getting late, I should go back too." Ran's mother has the habit of taking a nap in the afternoon, and she only came out at this time.

After she finished speaking, she took another look at Ran Jiqiu, turned to look at Liu Ying who was not far away, hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and immediately walked back quickly.

Ran Jiqiu looked at her back, his throat was slightly choked.

Liu Ying came over.He looked at Fang's disappearing figure, touched the young master's head, and said in a low voice, "She cares about you very much."

Ran Jiqiu said "hmm" with a thick nasal voice, turned around and buried his face in Liu Ying's arms, and after a long while, he said sullenly, "Liu Ying, if I pass the Jinshi exam, will my mother not be angry?"

Liu Ying tightened her arms holding him, as if she was afraid that the person in her arms would fly away suddenly.He said in a low voice, "Maybe."

Ran Jiqiu was quiet for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, but due to his height, he could only see the man's chin, and he couldn't help feeling depressed: "Can't you say something nice?"

Liu Ying laughed in a low voice, the deep laughter and the rumbling of the chest made Ran Jiqiu blush inexplicably.

"Whatever you want, young master, just do it." He lowered his head, kissed the tip of the young master's white jade-like ear, watched it slowly turn into soft blood jade, and said softly, "I'm always here."
