Chapter 1053: 018 Sweet (Wan Geng)_5

Coldly rolling her eyes, Lin Yuan strode through the door, but not before reminding the Door-keeping Servant, "Keep an eye on the door. One of these days, go to the market and buy two big dogs, the fiercest kind."

The two young servants looked at each other, puzzled, then heard Lin Yuan, who had already walked away, laugh and say, "Tie them up at the door, let’s see who dares to hang around our doorstep then!"

The young servants’ faces twitched. That young miss’s temper was really explosive, wasn’t it? Someone was just passing by the gate, and she was ready to set dogs on them!

"Dad, Mom, Master, we’re back!" Just as she entered, Xiao Linshuang shouted excitedly while holding a large roasted goose, "Look what delicious treats I’ve brought back for you!"

As soon as he heard there were treats, Lao Fan, who had been squinting and sitting quietly at the table, immediately opened his eyes, which emitted a ghostly green glow, and his nose twitched incessantly, as if he could smell from afar what his little apprentice had brought back.

But indeed, his nose was quite effective.

Even though Xiao Linshuang was still a good distance away, Lao Fan’s white beard was already quivering with excitement, and his body moved involuntarily: "Quick, quick, my good apprentice, you even remembered to bring back Liu Ji’s roasted goose for your master! Sweet apprentice, I haven’t spoiled you for nothing!"

Lao Fan was so excited he was nearly in tears; Xiao Linshuang let out a chuckle, lifted the large roasted goose she was holding high up, dodged her master’s grasp, and went to her parents’ side, giggling, "Dad, Mom, am I good or what? I brought this back myself!"

After saying that, she deliberately squinted her eyes smugly at Lao Fan.

Lin Jiaxin frowned and slapped his daughter’s forehead as a palm, sternly feigning anger to keep her from being so rude.

Lady Liu, though, knew her daughter the best and was used to the playful bickering with Lao Fan on a daily basis. She knew her daughter was just teasing Lao Fan, and shooed Xiao Linshuang aside as she scolded, "You silly girl, you obviously brought it back for your master, yet you pretend it’s for us."

Xiao Linshuang snickered but stubbornly refused to admit it: "No way, I did bring it for Dad and Mom. It’s not for the master. Master has already tried everything in the Capital city; he must be fed up with Liu Ji’s roasted goose by now, right, Master?"

Lao Fan twirled his beard and rolled his eyes as if he hadn’t heard a word.

This tickled Xiao Linshuang to no end. She cheerfully brought the roasted goose right to Lao Fan and tilted her little head, blinking amusingly, "Master, are you mad? This doesn’t seem like you. Didn’t you just tell me this morning to be open-minded and not make enemies? How come you’ve changed after just one day apart?"

Lao Fan’s cheeks turned bright red at Xiao Linshuang’s words. He twitched his eyelids and feigned ignorance: "Really? Did I say something like that? I don’t think so; you must be remembering wrong! Oh yes, not only are you remembering wrong, but you’re also hearing wrong! Tsk, tsk, my dear apprentice, you’re so young, yet your ears and head are already malfunctioning. Hmm, it must be because you’re eating too much and getting full. How about this, from now on, don’t eat or drink anything nice. I’m old; it doesn’t matter if my ears and head don’t work well, but it’s different for you. You’re still so young, if they stop working, how will you ever get married?"

Lao Fan rambled on and on with no sign of stopping, causing Xiao Linshuang’s mouth to twitch. Could chattering be contagious? She had just sent away a chatty Dong Qing, and now she was greeted by a verbose master!

"Master, Master, I beg you, eat this roasted goose and please stop talking. My ears have heard enough for the whole day; they’re exhausted. Be a dear and let them rest."

Xiao Linshuang quickly stuffed the large roasted goose into Lao Fan’s hands and shivered out of the blue, covering her ears tightly and scurrying to the side.

Lao Fan arched his eyebrow smugly and shook his head; it turned out that a few words of nagging could win him the roasted goose. He had wasted so much effort in the past, chasing and grabbing for it—what a loss!

The entertaining banter between master and apprentice amused everyone.

Lin Wei handed the other roasted goose to Mu Dan, who took it to the kitchen to have it sliced. Lao Fan, on the other hand, just grabbed the roasted goose from Xiao Linshuang, skipped the slicing, and started gnawing on a thigh, eating with such gusto that it made one’s mouth water.
