"It's just the two of us, we can't eat so much, just one or two random dishes will be enough." Kong Yinfan felt his heart twitching behind his chest.
I feel sorry for the money in my arms.
"It's okay, I'm treating you." Xing Yun said with a smile.
Kong Yinfan hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say, but he thought again in his mind whether he had enough money to pay for today's meal.
This is the largest restaurant in Qufu.
Having never eaten here before, he had no idea how much money this meal would cost.
Not long after we passed, the restaurant waiter opened the door and walked in with a tray in his hand.
A plate of cold dishes and a plate of chopped meat with sauce were placed on the table, and the wine flask and wine cup were put away. Then he took a step back and said respectfully: "Two guests, eat first, and the other dishes will be served soon." .”
After saying that, he bowed and walked out, closing the door.
Xing Yunduan stood up, picked up the jug and poured a glass of wine for Kong Yinfan with his own hands, and said: "I saw that Mr. Kong stayed outside the Kong Mansion for a long time. If you really have anything you can tell me, maybe I can How can I help?"
"No, it's nothing." Kong Yinfan shook his head numbly, his eyes fixed on the plate of sauced pork on the table.
Although his surname is Kong, he is farming the Kong family's land, and is no different from the tenants outside. It is not easy to have enough to eat. As for meat, he can't eat it twice a year.
Xing Yun noticed that Kong Yinfan was staring at the meat on the plate, so he picked up a piece of sauced meat with a kuai and placed it on the dish in front of him.
"Trying their sauced pork, I don't know if it suits Mr. Kong's taste."
Afraid that the other party wouldn't be able to let go, Xing Yun took the initiative to pick up the cold dish in front of him and took a bite.
Kong Yinfan's Adam's apple squirmed. After all, he couldn't bear the temptation of delicious food. He picked up the sauced meat from the dish, put it into his mouth and ate it.
Xing Yun waited for Kong Yinfan to eat several pieces of sauced meat, then he picked up the wine cup on the table and invited: "Come, let me offer you a drink, Master Kong."
Kong Yinfan, who was munching on soy sauce meat, quickly put down Kuaizi and picked up the wine cup to have a drink with him.
Almost half of the sauced pork on the table was eaten, and the restaurant waiter quickly brought four or five more dishes.
"Sir, the dishes are ready, please take your time." The restaurant waiter withdrew.
Kong Yinfan, whose taste buds were satisfied to a certain extent, looked at the table full of dishes and began to feel pain in his chest.
There are so many dishes, but I don’t know if I have enough money.
As for asking his future uncle to pay for the meal, he never thought about it.
Even if his daughter would not be embarrassed in front of her future uncle's men, he would have to pay for the meal instead of letting one of his uncle's guards treat her.
"This wine is good. Master Kong, let's have another drink." Xing Yun picked up the wine cup in his hand.
Kong Yinfan picked up the wine cup and touched it with Xing Yun again.
Just like that, after eating a few mouthfuls of food, Xing Yun raised his wine cup and clinked glasses with Kong Yinfan.
After a while, the two people drank up to 70% of the bottle of wine. Kong Yinfan, who didn't usually drink much, had red eyes and was a bit drunk.
When people drink, they tend to talk too much. Kong Yinfan is such a person.
The words that he didn't want to say at first were revealed by Xing Yun, as if there was no door on the door, and he poured out all the reasons why he came to the city.
Of course, it was also indispensable that he felt that there would be no money left after the meal, and he had no extra money to go find other people to inquire about Datong, so he simply broke the pot and inquired directly from Xing Yun.
Xing Yun was not stupid after hearing Kong Yinfan's intention.
Of course, he would not tell the other party truthfully about the situation in Datong.
However, in his words, Datong became a stable place, with no wars, no bandits, and the people's lives were harmonious. He also vaguely mentioned that his boss was a very important figure in Datong.
Of course, he wasn't lying.
But when Kong Yinfan heard these words, they had a different meaning.
Datong was stable and free of bandits. He believed that the imperial court had already wiped out the rebels in Datong, and the people lived in harmony. He felt that it should be like here in Qufu, where tenants rented fields from the houses of gentlemen and paid rent to them every year.
As for the future son-in-law's important role in Datong, it means that the future son-in-law's family has some status in Datong, and her daughter will not suffer much if she marries him in the future.
More importantly, he learned from the guard of his future son-in-law that his future son-in-law really wanted to marry his daughter, and she would be his head wife.
This also made him feel relieved, and it showed that the old man of the clan really proposed a marriage for his daughter, and did not want to sell his daughter.
After finishing the meal, Kong Yinfan returned home satisfied.
He didn't spend a penny and even brought back a table full of leftovers so that the rest of the family could enjoy the food.
Of course, it's not that he didn't want to pay for the meal. He really didn't compete for his future son-in-law's protection. Fortunately, his goal was achieved. As for his son-in-law's protection, he can find a way to compensate for it later.
The daughter will be a hostess in the future, and there will always be opportunities to compensate a guard in other ways.
After returning home, Kong Yinfan handed the food he had brought back from the restaurant to his son, and he told his mother-in-law and daughter everything he had learned about Datong.
"Mom, you heard it too. My daughter is the real wife when she gets married, and there are no gangsters in Datong." Kong Yueqing said coquettishly, holding the woman's arm.
Kong Yinfan nodded in agreement and said: "I just said, they are all family members, how could his second uncle harm his eldest niece."
However, the woman was not as happy as she imagined.
"Mom, are you still worried about your daughter? Dad has asked about everything and everything is fine." Kong Yueqing said, holding the woman's arm.
The woman frowned and said, "If your father's words are so good, why don't those clan elders marry their daughters to Datong, but choose our family? I always feel that something is wrong."
fo
Although she is a woman, she does not think that a pie will fall from the sky and it will suddenly fall on her head.
She always felt that something was wrong here, but due to her lack of knowledge and her inability to understand things as far away as Datong, she couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Maybe it's too far to marry to Datong! The clan elders are not willing to marry their legitimate daughter so far away." Kong Yinfan thought of a reason himself.
The woman glanced at her man dissatisfied, and said in an unhappy tone: "What kind of reason is this? It's not like the clan elders have never married off their daughters. If you look at it, maybe you just want to drink and forget about business." ”
"How could I not care about my daughter? She is also my daughter." Kong Yinfan quit immediately.
I had gone through so much trouble to find out the news about my future son-in-law and Datong, but my mother-in-law had just said nothing about it, so I was naturally unhappy.
"Okay, Mom, Dad has been able to get so much information and has tried his best. We can't really let him go to the clan master to inquire about the news!" Kong Yueqing comforted her mother.
I knew my mother was upset because she was about to get married.
So she doesn't want her parents to quarrel over her own affairs.
She will be leaving home soon, and she knows that the time to spend with her parents is limited. In these limited days, she hopes that her family can be happy.
