Ye Chen
Seeing Ye Chen's confident look, Lin Wan'er felt relieved.
Afterwards, she looked at the time and said, "My lord, it's almost eight o'clock now, I wonder when you plan to go home?"
Ye Chen said: "My father-in-law usually leaves at nine o'clock to go to the Painting and Calligraphy Association. This is quite close to my house. Ms. Lin doesn't need to see me off. The helicopter is too noisy in the downtown area, so I can go back by myself."
Lin Wan'er said: "My lord, how can I let you go back alone, I should drive you back by my family."
Ye Chen hurriedly said: "It really doesn't need to be so troublesome, I can just go by myself."
Lin Wan'er said quietly: "If you just leave like this, pass by the courtyard below, and the servants see you leaving the slave's courtyard early in the morning, they still don't know what to think of the slave's house."
Ye Chen asked awkwardly: "Then how does Miss Lin think it's appropriate?"
Lin Wan'er said: "My lord, wait for a moment, and the slave family can make arrangements."
Ye Chen nodded and said, "Then Miss Lin will make arrangements."
Lin Wan'er smiled happily, and said hastily: "My lord, wait a moment, I will let you know."
As she spoke, she picked up her mobile phone, made a call, and said, "Old Zhang, come up here."
After she hung up the phone, Ye Chen asked curiously: "Is this old Zhang you called the one you called Grandpa in Northern Europe back then?"
Lin Wan'er blushed pretty, and said shyly: "My lord, please forgive me, my family could only lie about Lao Zhang as my grandfather at that time, so as to avoid my lord's suspicion..."
Ye Chen waved his hand indifferently, and asked curiously: "Actually, he is your adopted orphan, right?"
"Yes." Lin Wan'er nodded, and said: "The slave family told the young master last night that Lao Zhang and the other two old people living here are orphans adopted by the slave family many years ago."
Ye Chen couldn't help but ask: "Then you see them turning from babies to old people, won't you feel very sad?"
"No." Lin Wan'er said indifferently: "Everyone has their own destiny. The slave family can live for more than 300 years. Naturally, you can look down on everything."
Ye Chen nodded slightly, but he still couldn't understand what kind of feeling this was.
A few minutes later, an old man came to the door of Lin Wan'er's other courtyard, gently knocked on the door, and said respectfully: "Miss, the old slave is here."
Lin Wan'er said loudly: "Come in."
The courtyard door was pushed open by the old man, he stepped into the door, and suddenly saw Ye Chen sitting on the grand teacher's chair, his expression was shocked.
Although he has no memory of seeing Ye Chen in Northern Europe, he has read Ye Chen's information and knows that this is what the lady has been looking for, the benefactor who saved the master and servant in Northern Europe.
After being surprised for a moment, Lao Zhang hurriedly saluted respectfully and said, "Old slave Zhang Decai, I have met Mr. Ye! Thank you Mr. Ye for saving my life!"
Seeing such an octogenarian salute to him, Ye Chen quickly got up and said, "Old man, you are too polite, it's just a little effort, don't take it too seriously!"
Lin Wan'er said at this moment: "Lao Zhang is the butler that I always keep by my side. You don't have to be so formal, just treat him as your servant."
Hearing that Lin Wan'er asked Ye Chen to treat him as a servant, Lao Zhang was not at all unhappy, but asked a little excitedly: "Miss...you...have you told Mr. Ye everything about you?"
Hearing Lao Zhang's question, Lin Wan'er suddenly remembered what happened last night, her pretty face turned pink with embarrassment, and said unnaturally: "I have been honest with Mr. Ye, and I have told you all about the past 300 years. Mr. Ye has heard, from now on, in front of Mr. Ye, you guys don't have to hide anything, understand?"
Lao Zhang nodded excitedly and said, "Miss, don't worry, this old slave understands! This old slave understands!"
As he said that, he couldn't help looking at Ye Chen, and said in an excited tone: "Mr. Ye, this old slave dares to say that you are the only outsider who has really opened up to Miss for more than 300 years..."
After all, Lao Zhang realized that his wording was not accurate, and quickly explained: "What I mean by this old slave is that you are the only adult who has opened up your heart to Miss for so many years. Unlike us, we were all brought up by Miss. The older one, since childhood, has been with the young lady as a servant, and the young lady will tell us little by little secrets when she sees that we have passed the test..."
Ye Chen smiled awkwardly, and didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while, so he had to change the subject and said: "Mr., you don't have to treat yourself as an old slave in front of me. The junior is really ashamed to be..."
Lao Zhang said without hesitation: "No, no, since the time of enlightenment, this old slave has vowed to stay by Miss's side as a servant for the rest of his life, and to serve as a servant for Miss. You are the benefactor of Miss and this old slave, and you are also Miss's friend. Old slave Naturally, the etiquette must not be messed up!"
As he said that, he suddenly said with emotion: "Mr. Ye, this old slave said something from his heart. This old slave has been with Miss for nearly 90 years. You have been Miss's only friend for so many years... This old slave is really happy. I also sincerely hope that you and Miss can..."
Lin Wan'er sensed that his words were wrong, coughed twice, and said, "Old Zhang, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Lao Zhang hurriedly said: "Miss, when this old servant saw benefactor, he became a little incoherent for a while..."
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly said to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, this old slave hopes that you can come to accompany Miss from time to time. She has been alone for so many years and has no friends who can make friends with her. She is really lonely..."
Lin Wan'er was ashamed and ashamed at this time, and quickly said: "Okay, Lao Zhang, you go and tell Lao Qiu to arrange for all the servants to stay in his room and not come out. In addition, you go and prepare a car." , I will send Mr. Ye off later."
Lao Zhang said without hesitation: "Old slave obeys!"
After finishing speaking, he saluted Ye Chen again, and said respectfully: "Mr. Ye, this old slave will retire first!"
Ye Chen nodded: "Old gentleman, go slowly."
After Lao Zhang left, Ye Chen asked Lin Wan'er: "Miss Lin, did you name Lao Zhang for him?"
"Yes." Lin Wan'er said with a smile: "My family named him Decai, which means having both ability and political integrity, not the meaning of gaining wealth."
Ye Chen smiled slightly, and asked her again: "Where did that old Zhang's surname come from?"
Lin Wan'er said with a smile: "Master Hui, most of the children adopted by the slave family are abandoned babies with no names and no surnames. The slave family can't verify their original surnames, but they don't want them to be named Lin, so as not to cause trouble. The surnames are written on the paper, crumpled into small paper balls, and then they will catch them in a muddleheaded way, and whoever catches them will have the surname;”
Ye Chen asked awkwardly: "Is it so casual?"
Lin Wan'er asked curiously: "Otherwise? If the slave family chooses for them by themselves, if they don't like it when they grow up, wouldn't they have to blame the slave family? So it's like catching Zhou, let them figure out their own surname, which is quite fair and reasonable." , not only can they choose a surname for themselves, but the servants can also play a little game with them, the best of both worlds."
Ye Chen nodded. Although she didn't say anything, she felt in her heart that although Lin Wan'er had lived for nearly 400 years, she still seemed to have a strong girlish heart. Maybe it was true as she said. It has always been a girl's mind and a girl's way of life.
At this time, the elderly Zhang trotted all the way down the stone ladder.
His body is actually not able to support this kind of exercise anymore, but he was extremely excited, so he felt a lot lighter under his feet.
As soon as he ran to the lobby of the main building in the courtyard on the next floor, Qiu Yingshan, who was drinking tea with Sun Zhidong, asked curiously: "Old Zhang, why are you running so fast? At such an old age, I'm not afraid to lie here without breathing... "
Lao Zhang looked at the two with a smile, panting heavily, and trembling with excitement, he said: "Congratulations... happy event... great happy event!"
Sun Zhidong put down his teacup and said with a smile: "What's the matter, Lao Zhang? Are you getting married?"
Lao Zhang glanced at him and scolded with a smile: "You really can't spit ivory out of your dog's mouth!"
After speaking, Lao Zhang came to the tea table of the two of them and sat down slowly, and said to the two with a serious face: "I feel that Miss seems to be moved!"
Afterwards, she looked at the time and said, "My lord, it's almost eight o'clock now, I wonder when you plan to go home?"
Ye Chen said: "My father-in-law usually leaves at nine o'clock to go to the Painting and Calligraphy Association. This is quite close to my house. Ms. Lin doesn't need to see me off. The helicopter is too noisy in the downtown area, so I can go back by myself."
