Chapter 1009: Quail | Red Heart Survey [Translation]

Red Heart Survey [Translation] - Updated on April 19, 2025

Wen Tinglan then sat down, her posture graceful and dignified, and then asked, “Oh? What do I like to drink?”

“How could I not know that?” Yan Fu’s face was full of smiles: “Don’t worry, it’s ready at the manor!”

Yan Fu clearly didn’t remember what tea Wen Tinglan liked to drink, but for the butler of the Yan manor, this was certainly not a problem.

Jiang Wang smiled, without any unnecessary movements, indicating that he completely did not understand the undercurrents in the words of the two.

Wen Tinglan obviously knew the answer, but didn’t pursue it relentlessly, only lightly touched on it and let it go, changing the subject: “You’ve both sat down, why are you the only one standing?”

“Haha, that’s right.” Yan Fu smiled particularly often today.

As for whether he was truly happy… it didn’t matter.

At this moment, he was standing alone.

Jiang Wang and Wen Tinglan were sitting opposite each other, separated by two sides.

Yan Fu looked at the empty seat next to Jiang Wang, then at the empty seat next to Wen Tinglan, and finally went to neither side, but sat in the main seat.

Looking at both sides from the center, he smiled again: “Today, I am really, happy.”

Yan Fu’s smile actually had a lot of temperament, but now his aura was a bit low, and his smile was greatly distorted.

Jiang Wang didn’t know what crucial point he was being held to, and he didn’t want to know.

It was none of his business, so he hung high.

He drank tea sip by sip.

But… the tree wants to be still, but the wind does not stop.

Yan Fu smiled for a while, and no one responded, so he glanced at Jiang Wang, and said seemingly unintentionally: “Brother Jiang, what do you think?”

“The tea is excellent!” Jiang Wang responded enthusiastically.

Although Jiang Wang’s response was so completely off the mark, Yan Fu was able to continue the conversation: “So Brother Jiang, you also have research in tea ceremony, then you must talk more with Miss Wen. Mr. Wen is a tea ceremony master, and Miss Wen has been immersed in it since childhood, so her tea ceremony attainments are extraordinary!”

He was just short of pressing Jiang Wang’s neck and forcing him to help him talk to Wen Tinglan and ease the atmosphere.

Wen Tinglan was very polite, and did not neglect Jiang Wang because of his not-so-noble background. Hearing this, she smiled and said: “My father has a Lanxin Garden in the suburbs of the city, which does not receive outsiders, so not many people know about it. But there are many good teas inside, Brother Jiang, if you have leisure in the future, please come and taste it. I will ask someone to reserve a seat for you.”

As a place built by a Grand Master for drinking tea, the standard of this Lanxin Garden goes without saying.

Wen Tinglan also gave Yan Fu enough face.

Jiang Wang could only cover up his awkwardness by drinking tea: “I will definitely, definitely come when I have time.”

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to have eased a little, Yan Fu said seemingly unintentionally: “Tinglan, why didn’t you say hello beforehand this time? It made me unprepared. In a hurry, I’m afraid there’s something rude that makes me uneasy, haha.”

“Oh, that’s Tinglan’s rudeness.” Wen Tinglan looked at him and said: “When I come to the Yan manor, I should have submitted a post beforehand.”

“Uh, I didn’t mean that.”

“Then what does Young Master Yan mean?”

Yan Fu glanced at Jiang Wang for help.

Hmm, Jiang Wang was looking down at the tea leaves, and just didn’t notice. The green tea leaves were freely stretching in the water, looking very beautiful. They were really too beautiful, and he looked at this leaf for a while, then at that leaf for a while, just not looking up.

This guy couldn’t be counted on.

Who said Jiang Qingyang was righteous? This is very unrighteous!

Yan Fu finally saw the reality clearly and could only rely on himself to try to round it back: “What I mean is, you are used to exquisite food and clothing, and you may not be satisfied outside. If I had known you were coming today, I should have prepared a new residence in advance, arranged according to the Wen manor, so as not to make you uncomfortable. How can I bear it…”

Building a new residence specifically for one welcome. If someone else said this, it would probably just be pleasantries. But the person who said this was Yan Fu… he could definitely do it.

Even though Wen Tinglan was annoyed, her resentment dissipated a little at this point, and she said softly: “You said that, how am I so spoiled?”

“Of course you’re not spoiled.” Yan Fu was in great spirits, as if assisted by a god: “It’s because I’m worried about you.”

Jiang Wang almost spat out a mouthful of tea, but fortunately, he had good strength and forcibly swallowed it.

In front of Jiang Wang, Wen Tinglan was a little embarrassed and chided: “I don’t know who you learned these from. You’ve been steeped in powder and paint, and you’re used to fooling people.”

Yan Fu glanced at Jiang Wang intentionally or unintentionally. He didn’t say anything else, and everything was unspoken.

Jiang Wang: …

How shameless, this rich fellow!

Fortunately, Wen Tinglan didn’t believe it, and took a sip of tea, saying: “I think Young Master Jiang is an honest person, unlike you.”

Of course, Yan Fu wouldn’t be so stupid as to ask who “you” referred to. Whether it was Xu Xianggan or Gao Zhe, or the other young masters in Linzi, associating with them didn’t leave a good impression. Each of them was a leader in the world of romance.

His humble self, Yan, was unique!

Therefore, he smiled calmly and said: “The lotus comes out of the mud without being stained, and the spring breeze carries fragrance over still water. It still depends on personal cultivation.”

Wen Tinglan’s words had a hidden meaning: “Unfortunately, personal cultivation is only known to oneself, and people’s hearts are, after all, separated by their stomachs.”

Then she smiled again: “However, Young Master Jiang has a reputation for being praised by everyone.”

Jiang Wang had to admit that, leaving everything else aside, Yan Fu and Wen Tinglan, in terms of family background, background, demeanor, charm, and talent, were extremely well-matched.

But staying in the middle of two people who were arguing for some unknown reason, the feeling of awkwardness was also particularly strong.

“I dare not say reputation, I just live honestly.” Jiang Wang was extremely low-key.

He quickly glanced at Yan Fu and said with his eyes – Should I leave?

Yan Fu returned a glare that said no way.

“Living honestly, Young Master Jiang speaks so well.” Wen Tinglan smiled and asked: “Oh right, what were you talking about before I came in?”

“I was just about to tell you about this!” Probably afraid that Jiang Wang would reveal the fact that he had forced him to stay as a cover-up, Yan Fu quickly interjected: “This brother of mine, Jiang, wants to participate in the Yellow River Meeting and win glory for the country. I plan to help write a post and submit it,”

Jiang Wang sighed inwardly.

This rich fellow was clever but ended up being foolish. There was nothing in the first place, but his quick answer made it seem like they had really discussed something that Wen Tinglan was not convenient to hear.

As expected, the smile that had just appeared on Wen Tinglan’s face quietly disappeared again.

But she still maintained her politeness: “This is not difficult for you. Young Master Jiang lacks neither character nor talent. I will also help keep an eye on it.”

“It’s mainly because Jiang Qingyang is truly capable, otherwise it would be hard to do.” Yan Fu also felt tired. With the idea that either raising or lowering his head would lead to the same result, he cautiously asked: “You… seem to be in a bad mood today?”

“Not really.”

Wen Tinglan said softly, and then suddenly changed the subject: “However, during this time, I do always hear some gossipy remarks… I can’t help but listen.”

Yan Fu’s smile was a little hard to maintain: “Oh? What aspect is that?”

Jiang Wang smelled the dangerous气息 of the dagger being revealed, and immediately stood up: “Well, should I excuse myself?”

Wen Tinglan smiled gently, her smile very soft and beautiful: “Young Master Jiang, Yan Fu went overseas to find you. I don’t think you need to excuse yourself.”

“Please have a seat.” She said softly.

She was clearly the hostess here, in control of the entire situation.

Jiang Wang obediently sat down, and Yan Fu remained silent.

At this moment, the two dignified Tianjiao of Great Qi were completely overwhelmed, pressed down like two clumsy quails with their heads shrunk.
