Chapter 25: Two rescues of Zhao Paner who fell into the water

Early morning, Zhao's Tea Shop.

Today, Sun Sanniang felt something was wrong since she saw Zhao Pan'er, so she immediately transformed into Sun Holmes Sanniang.

Sun Sanniang noticed that Pan'er, who was usually attentive, had been looking out of place today. He also had a new fire coral hairpin on his head, and suddenly had a silk scarf around his neck today.

"No, Pan'er, you are wrong!"

"What's wrong?"

"You haven't stopped smiling this early in the morning, and..." Sun Sanniang pointed to the hairpin on Zhao Paner's head and said, "What's the matter with the silk scarf around your neck?"

"I just wear one if I think it looks good. What's wrong?"

"Really? Did you accidentally leak it just now? Xiao Fan is quite cruel!" Sun Sanniang teased.

"Sanniang..." Zhao Pan'er said shyly, covering her face.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Then where did you get this hairpin? Did Xiao Fan give it to you?"

"You already guessed it and you still ask!"

"Do you still think I'm your friend? Please tell me what's going on between you and Xiao Fan?"

"It's that simple! Everything has been made clear. He wants to marry and I am willing to marry. It's that simple."

"Is she the wife of the bride?"

Zhao Paner nodded happily.

"Let me just say, Xiao Fan is not the kind of person who cares about status. Now you are finally lovers and married. By the way, what are you doing to prepare for your wedding?"

"I told Fan Lang about the wedding. Originally, I thought that since we are alone now, it would be good to keep everything simple. But Fan Lang said that everything else can be kept simple, but the wedding must be grand."

Sun Sanniang joked: "Okay, now it's all about ordinary people. When will you change your name and call yourself an official?"

"Anyway, everything is kept simple, so the wedding date is set for the eighth day of next month."

"Then there are only ten days left? Then we will change our name to Mrs. Xiao?"

Zhao Pan'er ignored Sun Sanniang's joke and ran to the kitchen with a smile to make preparations for opening the store.

"Good morning, Third Lady."

"Hey, Xiao Fan, you're here so early today? You're here to see our Pan'er, right? You're in the kitchen."

Zhao Pan'er heard the voice and saw Xiao Fan walking in. Just as he was about to greet him, Xiao Fan led him back into the kitchen.

"What are you doing? Let Sanniang see the joke."

"Does Sanniang know about us?"

"Well, she guessed it. She just made fun of me for a long time. It's all your fault."

Xiao Fan hugged Zhao Pan'er and said, "Pan'er, I miss you."

"How many hours have we been apart now? Let me go quickly, don't let anyone see me."

"There's no one else here except Sanniang, and she can't see what's going on inside. What's there to be afraid of? Do you miss me?"

"No, um..."

After the kiss, Xiao Fan asked again: "Do you miss me?"

Zhao Pan'er did not speak, but took the initiative to kiss her back. At this time, the silk scarf slipped, and she quickly tied it up again and said, "It's all your fault. Look at the good things you did, making Sanniang laugh at me all morning."

"We are going to be husband and wife soon. What's so funny? By the way, I brought a few calligraphy and paintings this time. You can help find a buyer then."

"With Yang Yunpian's personality, he will definitely invite people to view the calligraphy you bought from him before, and someone will probably ask about it in a few days."

Xiao Fan took Zhao Pan'er's hand and walked out of the kitchen, asking Jia San to bring the painting.

Taking the painting handed over by Jia San, Xiao Fan took out one and handed it to Zhao Pan'er and said, "Look at this."

"What is this?" Zhao Pan'er said and opened the scroll, and what was painted on it was the scene where Zhao Pan'er took care of Xiao Fan that night.

"The painting is really good," Zhao Pan'er exclaimed.

"It's a pity that I didn't draw your beautiful Eleven."

"I know how to pick up nice things to say."

"No way? You know I always tell the truth."

Only then did Zhao Paner realize that Jia Quan and Xiao Zhao had not come with them today, so he asked, "Where are your two little followers?"

"Don't we have a tight wedding date? Hui Niang has already started to buy the items needed for the wedding. I asked them to help at home."

"Then I will close the business in a few days and wait until I finish our wedding."

Xiao Fan heard this and teased: "What? You're already treating yourself as the hostess before you even get married?"

"What? Is Mr. Xiao still planning to let another young lady become the mistress of Xiao Mansion?"

"Madam, please calm down because your husband is at fault."

Zhao Pan'er was about to say something when two tea guests came in at the door. So he had to greet the guests first. Before leaving, he glared at Xiao Fan fiercely and gave him a look that would settle the score with you later.

Xiao Fan still sat in his old seat, leisurely admiring Zhao Pan'er's busy figure, and looking at the scenery on the river from time to time.

In the end, Xiao Fan came to an obvious conclusion, that is, his wife is more beautiful than the scenery. She is a beautiful scenery, and she can attract everyone's attention wherever she goes.

Just when Xiao Fan was admiring his wife, he suddenly heard an old man on the trestle not far from the tea shop shouting in a Central Plains accent that someone had fallen into the water.

After hearing this, Xiao Fan directly used Qing Kung to fly to the trestle. When he walked over, he saw a scholar-looking man splashing in the water.

The place where he fell into the water was only about ten feet away from the edge of the trestle. Xiao Fan was about to go into the water to rescue people when he saw Zhao Paner rushing over from behind carrying a bamboo pole.

When Xiao Fan saw the bamboo pole, he was too lazy to get into the water to avoid getting his clothes wet. When Zhao Paner came over, he handed one end of the bamboo pole to the scholar who fell into the water. When Xiao Fan saw this, he quickly went to help, lest she accidentally be pulled into the water.

The scholar's will to survive seemed quite strong. He hugged the bamboo pole without letting go and was quickly pulled up.

"Are you okay?" Zhao Pan'er asked after seeing the person being rescued.

"Ahem! Ugh!" After vomiting out the water, the scholar came to his senses and stared at Zhao Pan'er for a moment, then thanked her: "It's okay. Thank you so much for saving me! May I ask what I call you? Ouyang

Asahi, from Tokyo, accidentally fell into the water. I would like to thank my wife for saving my life. I am deeply grateful!"

"Just call me Mrs. Zhao. Official Ouyang doesn't have to say thank you, just do it casually. Since you're fine and I still have something to do in my shop, I'll take my leave first."

Seeing that Ouyang Xu was fine, he glanced at Xiao Fan secretly. Seeing the unhappy look on his face, Zhao Pan'er laughed secretly in her heart and turned around to leave.

Seeing the familiar experience of the person in front of him and the way he looked at Zhao Pan'er just now, Xiao Fan felt inexplicably unhappy.

After Zhao Pan'er left, Xiao Fan quickly followed. He was very happy with Zhao Pan'er's performance just now.

As soon as Xiao Fan sat down, Zhao Pan'er came over with tea fruits. Seeing that he looked unhappy, she said, "What's wrong? Is it my fault for saving people?"

"How is that possible? I was the one who rescued me. How can I blame you for saving people!"

"Then why? Are you jealous of the way he looked at me just now?" Zhao Pan'er said with a smile.

"Why should I be jealous? You are so good-looking, how normal is it for others to look at you more often? It's too late for me to be happy. This can only mean that you are beautiful and I have good taste." Xiao Fanyan said insincerely.

Zhao Pan'er didn't say anything, she just put her head on the railing and looked at him smiling. It wasn't until Xiao Fan felt uncomfortable that she said, "Are you really not jealous?"

"I hate this kind of person the most, let me tell you," Xiao Fan sat upright and slapped the table and said angrily: "You didn't see the look in his eyes when he looked at you just now, looking straight at you like that, what did he mean?

"

Then Xiao Fan said to Zhao Pan'er: "Of course, I know you don't like him either, right?"

"Fan Lang, I..."

"Pan'er, although I don't like others looking at you like that, I never thought that after you marry me, you won't be allowed to do business in public."

"Because I know you like it. During this time, I have been seeing your heartfelt happiness when you are busy in the tea shop. And as long as I see you happy, I will be happy."

Xiao Fan looked at Zhao Pan'er who was so moved that he was about to cry, and gently stroked his face and said, "What? You want to cry?"

Zhao Pan'er forced a smile and said: "No, why are you crying? I am happy."

Seeing Zhao Pan'er like this, Xiao Fan didn't say anything, he just held her silently until her mood returned to calm.
