Chapter 2607
August 8th.
The wedding of Su Shoudao and He Yingxiu is about to begin.
Mother and daughter He Yingxiu and Su Ruoli, living in the He family villa, woke up early before five o'clock in the morning, and the makeup artist arranged by Song Wanting also arrived on time to start makeup for the two.
Su Shoudao, living in Bai Jinhangong, had already started to get up and change clothes at this time.
According to the normal practice of marriage, Su Shoudao had to do the groom's styling first in the morning, and then go to the He family to pick up the bride with his best man and the wedding car team.
Since this wedding was not notified to the outside world, Su Shoudao only invited his son Su Zhifei to be his best man.
Su Zhifei, who had repented, was happy that his father had found a true belonging for his feelings, so he naturally agreed to his request very readily.
Just past five o'clock, the wedding car team arranged by Ye Chen in advance had already tied up flower bouquets and was waiting to depart downstairs at the Bai Jinhangong Hotel.
At this very moment, at the Zijin Villa on the top of Zijin Mountain in Jin Ling.
Lin Wan'er had already washed and dressed early, sitting alone in the courtyard, opening the gate, appreciating the misty morning scenery of Zijin Mountain while boiling a pot of Pu'er tea.
Having had the experience of meeting Ye Chen in the basement of Tang Chen Yi Pin last time, Lin Wan'er hadn't gone out for the past two days, and hadn't even left this top-floor villa of Zijin Villa.
Xian Jie carried a wooden basket up and, seeing Lin Wan'er's courtyard gate open, asked with some surprise: "Miss Lin, why did you get up so early today?"
Lin Wan'er nodded slightly, smiled shallowly, and said: "I usually get up very early, just didn't start boiling tea so early in the past."
Xian Jie placed the basket in front of Lin Wan'er, knelt on one knee in front of her, opened the basket, and inside were some very exquisite tea snacks.
Xian Jie picked up the plate with tea snacks, carefully placed it next to Lin Wan'er's teapot, and said respectfully: "Miss Lin, this is the tangerine peel Pu'er pastry you mentioned yesterday. The pastry chef at home hadn't made it before, so he tried it for the first time according to the method you said. I don't know if it suits your taste, please try it."
Lin Wan'er nodded, picked up a piece with her slender, white fingers, and placed the other hand in the shape of a gold ingot under her lips, taking a small bite.
Xian Jie on the side looked at Lin Wan'er nervously, not knowing if this unfathomable young lady liked it.
Lin Wan'er tasted it shallowly, her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, and then gradually relaxed.
Xian Jie watched from the side and couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Lin is indeed a beauty who can topple a country. Just watching her brows relax makes people feel relaxed and happy unconsciously. She is only seventeen or eighteen years old and has such beauty. If she waits another two or three years, I don't know what she will look like..."
At this time, Lin Wan'er placed the tangerine peel Pu'er pastry aside, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said to Xian Jie with a smile: "It's quite good, it's basically the taste I wanted, just the tea leaves are slightly worse."
Xian Jie was secretly surprised in her heart and couldn't help but say with a smile: "Miss Lin, this is already the best Pu'er tea my master can buy."
"Yes." Lin Wan'er smiled: "This tea is indeed good, just compared to my tea, it's still a bit worse... but it doesn't matter, being able to make this taste, I am already very pleasantly surprised. Thank you Xian Jie, and thank that pastry chef for me."
Lin Wan'er's words made Xian Jie very surprised.
She had known Lin Wan'er for more than a few days, but in these days, she had never heard Lin Wan'er say the two words "thank you" to her.
Not to mention herself, even if her own master had done so much for her, and even handed over the entire Zijin Villa to her, she had never seen Lin Wan'er say thank you. It seemed that in her eyes, everything her master did for her was taken for granted. Not only would she not be grateful, but she was even stingy with a thank you.
Sometimes, Xian Jie also had opinions about Lin Wan'er in her heart, always feeling that this girl was young, looked knowledgeable and like a lady of a big family, but was actually extremely arrogant and lacked etiquette. Her own master was already over ninety years old, yet he was still busy for her affairs, but she had never shown the respect she should have.
However, at this moment, Xian Jie was very surprised in her heart, and thought to herself: "My master did so much for her, and even gave her a limited edition villa that billions of dollars can't buy, but she never said a thank you. But today, because she made the tangerine peel Pu'er pastry she wanted to eat, she thanked both me and the pastry chef. I really don't know what this Miss Lin's worldview is like."
Just when Xian Jie was confused, she heard the voice of her master Qiu Yingshan outside the door, his voice panting but full of excitement: "Miss! Old Zhang is here!"
Lin Wan'er raised her eyebrows slightly, and her beautiful eyes looked toward the gate.
A moment later, she saw Qiu Yingshan and Sun Zhidong, supporting an old man, walking in together.
And the old man who came up with Qiu Yingshan and Sun Zhidong was the old man who had been accompanying Lin Wan'er in Northern Europe.
Seeing Lin Wan'er, the old man couldn't hide his excitement, stepped forward, knelt in front of Lin Wan'er tremblingly, and said respectfully: "Miss, the old slave is late, please punish me!"
Lin Wan'er smiled indifferently, raised her hand in the air, and said softly: "Get up, you are not late, no need to blame yourself too much."
The old man then stood up slowly.
Xian Jie on the side was stunned.
The old man in front of her looked to be about the same age as her master, conservatively estimated to be around ninety years old, but at such an old age, he still had to kneel to Lin Wan'er. How much respect did he have for Lin Wan'er in his heart?
This made her even more confused in her heart: "This Miss Lin, what is her background..."
At this time, Qiu Yingshan said to Xian Jie: "Shuxian, you go down first."
Xian Jie nodded hurriedly and said respectfully: "Master, Miss Lin, I'll take my leave."
Having said that, she hurried out of the courtyard, not forgetting to close the door again when she went out.
After Xian Jie walked away, Lin Wan'er looked at the old man and asked: "Was Old Zhang's journey smooth?"
The old man called Old Zhang hurriedly said: "Back to Miss, it was smooth, just followed Miss's arrangement, took some extra roads, and there were too many things to take care of, so the journey was a bit slow."
Lin Wan'er asked him: "Are all my things brought over safely?"
Old Zhang nodded repeatedly and said: "Your blue and white porcelain, I have all brought over. Because the things are too valuable, I was afraid of attracting the attention of border inspection and customs, so for the last part of the journey, I chose to enter the country from Kazakhstan via a special land route."
Lin Wan'er then asked: "Where are the things?"
Old Zhang hurriedly said: "They are all below. Yingshan has already arranged for people to unpack them. After unpacking, they will be sent up to you."
Lin Wan'er nodded and said: "You have worked hard on this journey, take a good rest. For a period of time in the future, I might settle in Jin Ling, so you take this time to take a good rest."
Old Zhang arched his hands respectfully and said: "Old slave obeys!"
After saying that, he remembered something and hurriedly asked: "By the way, Miss, the old slave heard from Yingshan that you have already found the person you are looking for?"
"Yes." Lin Wan'er nodded and said: "He is in Jin Ling. Although you don't remember him, he must still remember you. So during this time, don't leave Zijin Villa, so as not to expose your identity."
Old Zhang said respectfully: "Okay Miss, old slave understands!"
While speaking, several servants carried a pile of items wrapped in special foam and walked in.
Old Zhang checked them one by one, confirmed there was no problem, and then let these people leave, and then said to Lin Wan'er: "Miss, the old slave brought out a total of eighty-three items from Northern Europe that day, they are all here."
Lin Wan'er nodded and said impatiently: "Quickly bring me my Chenghua blue and white sea dragon pattern jar."
"Miss, please wait!"
Old Zhang responded, hurriedly found a blue and white porcelain jar about the size of a basketball from the eighty-three items, and then handed the jar to Lin Wan'er.
Lin Wan'er opened the lid, and the rich tea fragrance gushed out from it.
Lin Wan'er took out a piece of Pu'er tea cake from it and couldn't help but sigh: "I've been looking forward to it for many days, and finally I've looked forward to it."
Having said that, she picked up the teapot on the charcoal fire, poured out all the tea water in it, and then took out a Pu'er tea knife, preparing to divide the Pu'er tea cake in her hand.
But as soon as the knife tip touched the tea cake, she withdrew it and muttered: "This is the last piece..."
Seeing this, Old Zhang hurriedly said: "Miss, didn't you say earlier that after drinking this last piece of tea cake, you wouldn't have to miss it anymore?"
Lin Wan'er sighed softly, looked at the tea cake, and muttered: "Let's keep this last piece. I want to wait for the day when I can be open and honest with him, and boil it for him to taste myself."
The three old men were all stern. After exchanging glances, Old Zhang bowed and said: "Miss, the old slave dares to ask one more question, are you really planning to be open and honest with that gentleman?"
"Yes." Lin Wan'er said seriously: "He saved my life and has a common enemy with me. If the opportunity is right, I should tell him my background. Only in this way can I have a chance to truly cooperate with him."
Having said that, she suddenly said excitedly: "By the way, Old Qiu, you ask Xian Jie to buy me a wooden table of one zhang eight chi, buy a piece of rice paper of one zhang eight chi, and buy two pieces of the best Hui ink. I want to paint a picture."
Qiu Yingshan said in surprise: "Miss, you want to paint a picture of one zhang eight chi? Isn't this a bit too exhausting?"
In the size of Chinese painting, one zhang eight chi means about six meters long and two and a half meters wide. Basically, it is the largest size in Chinese painting. Using such a large size to paint, the workload can no longer be described as huge.
Lin Wan'er said firmly at this time: "It doesn't matter. There are too many sceneries I want to paint. One zhang eight chi is barely enough. Moreover, I have at least twenty-something days to paint slowly, no rush."
Qiu Yingshan said respectfully: "Okay Miss, I will arrange for Shuxian to handle it later!"
