"Brother Wei!" Just at the stall where Wei Lai and the others were stunned, a shout suddenly came from outside the mansion gate, and Wei Lai and Chu Qi looked back and saw that it was Hu Le and his mother-in-law Hu Subai, who was saved by Wei Lai yesterday.

Hu Le was full of smiles, holding all kinds of things in one hand, and holding an umbrella for his elderly grandmother in the other, covering the wind and snow that had a tendency to fall more and more, and the old and the young walked quickly to the gate of the Wei Mansion.

"The old man Hu Su Bai thanked his grandson for saving his life!" As soon as the old woman arrived in front of Wei Lai, she was busy bending down and kneeling, and her mouth was even more sad and shouted, although this gesture looked a little exaggerated, but it was definitely not intentional by the old woman, but after knowing what happened on the night when Hu Le did not return all night, the old woman's heart was afraid for a while, for the old woman who was worried about the fate of the first half of her life, and the old woman who had worked hard in the second half of her life, her grandson was the only thought she had in the world now, if Hu Le really had such three long and two short, Hu Subai really didn't know how to live.

Before Wei Lai could recover from the changes in the group of family members who suddenly appeared in his mansion, he saw that the old woman was about to kneel down towards him, and he hurriedly reached out to help her up. didn't let the old woman really kneel on the ground, and said in her mouth: "Mother-in-law, what is this doing, it's just a gesture, not to mention that I didn't bring Brother Hu into the house, it's ......"

"Brother Wei doesn't have to be humble, if it weren't for Brother Wei and Brother Sun and others, I'm afraid our mother-in-law and grandson would have to get together under the spring. Hu Le also said at that time, and then his face straightened, took a step back, and respectfully bowed to Wei Lai on the spot.

Wei Lai had no choice but to accept this worship for the time being, and at this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard gate behind him.

"Ah, you're back. A soft voice sounded, Wei Lai looked back, but saw Xu Yue sitting in her wheelchair, looking at Wei Lai prettyly, her eyes with a smile and a little expectation, like a wife waiting for her husband to return home.

Hu Le behind him also reacted at this time, he glanced at the girl in a wheelchair in the door in surprise, the girl's appearance Hu Le was somewhat familiar, coupled with the posture of sitting in a wheelchair, Hu Le quickly searched for the girl's identity in a circle of memory. His face changed, and his eyes suddenly swelled with surprise.

"Is this your friend? Come in quickly, and lead people outside the house, what kind of hospitality? Xu Yue said again, with a sense of blame in her tone, as if she was a hostess.

Hu Le is well versed in this way of observing words and colors, he saw this, his heart froze, and the surprise on his face before turned into shock at this time, he suddenly understood why Sun Daren, who didn't seem to be surprisingly cultivated, was able to enter the Tianzi class of the White Horse Academy so smoothly, and enjoy the resources and preferential treatment that others need to spend a lot of effort or money to get - after all, the entire White Horse Academy is the Xu family's thing......

Wei Lai's surprise in his heart was only a lot more than Hu Le's at this moment, he naturally reacted at this time, the changes in his own house in front of him were obviously from Xu Yue's handiwork, but he didn't expect that he would be soft-hearted for a while, and after answering the girl's request in the spirit tower, it would cause Xu Yue's reaction in such a big battle......

"Still standing stupid! It's going to be snowing heavily, come in quickly. But Xu Yue didn't intend to give Wei Lai enough time to react, she saw that Wei Lai didn't react for a long time, and whispered softly at that time.

Wei Lai, who came back to his senses when he heard this, also knew that this was not the time to delve into the meaning of Xu Yue's move, so he hurriedly nodded, which led Hu Le's mother and grandson towards the house.

......

The more he walked into the mansion, the more frightened Wei Lai became, if he wasn't very sure that he hadn't found the wrong door, I'm afraid he would have to secretly wonder if he had entered the wrong door at this moment.

After all, the scene in this mansion at this moment is very different from the Wei Mansion in Wei Lai's memory, you can see all kinds of potted plants everywhere, and there are even dozens of craftsmen who are busy building rockeries and building pavilions in the middle of the outer courtyard, and there are also many families on both sides of the house who are busy going back and forth, repairing various doors and renovating walls. Although many projects are only half done, the entire Wei Mansion has taken on a new look.

Wei Lai followed behind Xu Yue, stunned all the way, as for Hu Le and the old woman behind him, he was even more surprised, especially Hu Le, he remembered that when he left the Wei Mansion yesterday, it should not have been like this, how could it be turned upside down in a blink of an eye. Soon, under the guidance of Xu Yue, everyone came to the main house of the Wei Mansion, and before they could enter, they bumped into Sun Daren and others. I saw three guys, following the middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper with an excited face.

"You all know the requirements for the room below, the top chef that Sun Gongzi wants, the room must be equipped with mahogany objects, and it will arrive tomorrow. ”

"The small martial arts arena that Miss Long wants may take more time, and tomorrow there will be craftsmen to compare the sizes, and it is estimated that the construction will start the day after tomorrow, and it will take three days to complete it. As for the matter of the swordsmith, I have already sent someone to invite it, and I guarantee that early tomorrow morning, all the swordsmiths with names and surnames in this Ningxiao City will appear outside Miss Long's door. ”

"As for Miss Liu, I have already sent someone to prepare all kinds of things I want, and I should be able to get them tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. ”

The middle-aged man smiled at the three of them at that time, and Sun Daren's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they nodded vigorously one after another, seeing that posture, it seemed that they had long forgotten their position, and completely fell under Xu Yue's money offensive......

Wei Lai has long been accustomed to the three of them forgetting their righteousness, just glared at the three of them fiercely, Liu Qingyan and Long Xiu still have only conscience, in the face of Wei Lai's gaze, the two shrunk their necks, and bowed their heads with some shame, but Sun Daren obviously did not have such consciousness, in the face of Wei Lai's gaze, this guy squeezed his eyebrows at Wei Lai for a while, and at the end he didn't forget to secretly give Wei Lai a thumbs up, so he almost didn't rush forward and hugged Wei Lai and said: "Well done." ”

"I just heard from Daren that there is a guest visiting today, and I hastily asked the people to prepare some food, which is simpler, you two forgive me. Xu Yue didn't care about the "small movements" between Wei Lai and Sun Daren at all, she turned her head to look behind her, and said to the mother-in-law and grandson who had been stunned by the gorgeous decorations in the door of this mansion. The tone was sincere and apologetic.

How could Hu Subai and Hu Le be the slightest bit dissatisfied? After hearing this, the mother-in-law and grandson shook their heads again and again, and said bluntly: "It's okay. ”

Xu Yue was also noncommittal about this, and nodded after seeing this, and then the housekeeper next to him stepped forward quickly and came to the door of the main house, only to hear the door being pushed open.

At this time, everyone saw the situation in the main room clearly, and also saw clearly what the simple family banquet in Xu Yue's mouth looked like - from the desks lined up on both sides of the room, there were two domestic servants, a man and a woman, serving behind each desk, and the various dishes placed on the desk were dazzling, even if it was just a sip of aroma from a distance, it made people secretly salivate.

Of course, the decoration in the whole hall has already been changed, the calligraphy and paintings hung from the opposite direction, and the antique porcelain placed on both sides of the road are extremely elegant, which has the heritage of a wealthy family, but is not aggressive, and the atmosphere is restrained.

......

This meal made Hu Le tremble, not because Wei Laiyi or Xu Yue had made any threats or humiliations in the process, in fact, everyone was extremely polite, took great care of him and his mother-in-law, and his attitude was also kind, so that Hu Le did not feel the arrogance of the superior in his imagination at all. But it is precisely because of the unpretentiousness of Wei Lai and others that Hu Le thinks that Wei Lai and others have an extraordinary background, after all, not everyone is worthy of the daughter of the Xu family, and the more extraordinary the identity of Wei Lai and others, the more abrupt and ignorant his behavior that he could stop at the city gate, this is still Wei Lai and others' generosity, if it is called the character of Song Douyuan, then the current Hu Le probably doesn't know how many times he has died.

Thinking of this, Hu Le raised his glass to Wei Lai and the others again and again, thanking the other party for saving their lives. At the end of the dinner, it was the end of the time, Hu Subai was too old to live for a long time, Hu Le said goodbye to Wei Lai and the others, and when he left, he still didn't play a moment of gratitude, and even wanted to return the silver taels earned when he sold Sun Daren's intelligence that day to Wei Lai and others, but Wei Lai refused, and after some pushing, he left with his mother-in-law.

After dinner, people cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Sun Daren and others were already dizzy after reciting the "Tiangang Zhengzheng" for a day today, and they drank a little wine during the banquet, but they couldn't stand the sleepiness, and they all retired and went back to their rooms to rest. Even Chu Qi, who didn't stop at the end of a meal, saw everyone retreating, and he snorted very wittily and left.

As a result, in addition to the families who were still busy taking care of the courtyard left by Wei Shou, only Wei Lai and Xu Yue were left in the outer courtyard.

Wei Lai secretly felt a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to be alone with Xu Yue for a while, especially after experiencing the conversation in the Spirit Gathering Array during the day. But after all, leaving Xu Yue here was not a way of hospitality, so after thinking slightly, Wei Lai gritted his teeth and walked to the girl sitting in the hall, and said softly: "It's getting late, I'll send Sister Xu back." ”

"Yue'er. The girl sat in a wheelchair, with her back to him, and looked at the only calligraphy and painting in the whole main room that had not been moved—something that had been hung in the room since Wei Shou was there. It is written in regular script:

Weishui passed through the nine dynasties, and the stars of Tiangang were shining.

The mountains and rivers are at a glance, and you can look at it alone by the railing.

Wei Lai was stunned, puzzled by Xu Yue's words.

At this time, the girl also slowly turned her head and looked at Wei Lai, her eyes were clear, but her tone was firm: "Call me Yue'er." ”

Wei Lai's face changed suddenly, and he subconsciously wanted to say something: "This ......"

"Since you have promised me, you should talk and count, change your unfamiliar name, and try to like me as the first step. Xu Yue was extremely decisive in strangling Wei Laiwei's words in his throat.

Xu Yue's calm tone and almost factual rhetoric made Wei Lai have no way to refuse her request after all—after all, he did agree to Xu Yue's request, and the lessons he received from his father since he was a child made it difficult for him to regret such a thing. So even though there was a little strangeness and unspeakability in his heart, Wei Lai still gritted his teeth after a deep groan, and said in a very low voice: "Yue...... Yue'er. ”

The voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, like the drizzle of the little daughter-in-law when she first met her lover, and even his Wei Lai's face was a little flushed. This kind of behavior is really difficult to see on Wei Lai's body, but maybe it is also true, when she heard the light call and glimpsed Wei Lai's strange appearance, the girl in the wheelchair couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, and her smile was like a flower.

"Then I'll send Xu ...... now Send Yue'er back. Wei Lai said again.

The girl who turned her head to look at him showed a look of confusion on her face after hearing this, she winked at Wei Lai and asked, "Go back, isn't this my home?"

......

"Manpower is limited, and the renovation of the inner courtyard is placed after the outer courtyard, and only five wings have been taken care of for the time being, which should barely be enough to live. Pushed by Wei Lai, walking in the corridor of the inner courtyard of the Wei Mansion, compared to the renovation project of the outer courtyard that is still in full swing at the moment, the inner courtyard is much quieter.

The snow kept falling, and a thin layer had been piled up on the ground, and Wei Lai, who was pushing Xu Yue, came back to his senses when he heard this, and then replied softly: "Thank you." ”

"Thank you for this, then I'm afraid you'll have to say thank you to me all day. Xu Yue said without looking back.

Wei Lai smiled bitterly, and he didn't know what to do. But the girl who was facing away from him in front of her continued to say to herself: "There is one more thing, I have already sent someone to the residence arranged by the state pastor for Yuan Zhichun......

"Huh?" Wei Lai was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't understand what he could have to do with Xu Yue and the crown prince.

"By the way, someone brought a silver ticket of two thousand taels. Xu Yue continued, saying this for her sudden pause, and then looked back at Wei Lai: "With the price at which Ah Cheng bought this Wei Mansion, two thousand taels of silver is enough for her to make a lot of money." ”

Hearing this, Wei Lai reacted, when Ah Cheng gave Wei Lai the ancestral house, Wei Lai was unwilling to do it, so Ah Cheng Fang had the saying that he would tell Wei Lai the price of the ancestral house and let Wei Lai treat it as a deal. However, Wei Lai couldn't scrape together so much money in a short period of time, so he temporarily suppressed the matter, but he didn't want Xu Yue to be so concerned, so he paid for him to buy a house. It's just that two thousand taels is too much, and according to the previous agreement, the silver taels that Wei Lai needs to pay Ah Cheng should be about one thousand taels...... At this age, Wei Lai couldn't help but feel a little distressed about the silver.

And such a look fell into Xu Yue's eyes, but the other party secretly thought that Wei Lai was distressed by this favor, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is also a dowry." ”

Wei Lai knew that Xu Yue didn't want to put too much pressure on him, so he didn't explain anything, so he continued to push Xu Yue towards the inner courtyard.

The snow was a little heavier, and the weather was getting colder and colder, and Wei Lai put a thin blanket on Xu Yue

Xu ...... Yue'er, I have a question. Wei said.

"What?"

"Why does it have to be me?" Wei Lai asked.

"Huh?" Xu Yue was stunned at first when she heard this, but she quickly reacted with her exquisite thoughts, but she didn't answer Wei Lai's question directly, but asked instead, "Can't you?"

"It's just a little weird. Wei Lai frowned and replied.

The girl turned her head to look at the snow falling outside the corridor, and she whispered, "Once the snow in Ningxiao City starts, it will be difficult to stop, and the fine snow will continue until mid-January next year. ”

"The weather will get colder, and the entire Ningxiao City will pile up thick snow everywhere, in the face of such snowy days, some people will frown and sit at home, some people will sweep the snow in front of their doors, and some people will go out against the wind and snow, and continue their trek while learning to appreciate the wind and snow. ”

"A lot of people fall into the first category, doing nothing and feeling sorry for themselves. Of course, there are a small number of people who can fall into the second category, who recognize the reality and know how to change the status quo, of course, only to change their own status quo. My father, my grandfather, most of my Xu family, and everyone I knew in the past were the first or second type of people, and there was nothing wrong with that, recognizing the reality, compromising with the reality, and then finding a way to change some of the predicaments that affected me. This is the most effective and convenient way to survive. But I don't like this way of survival, because I'm a martyr of this kind of truth. ”

"So I chose the third group of people. ”

"They don't change their minds because of the snow, they always believe that what they want will not be buried because of the snow, and even if they do, they will dig it out of the snow. I like that they don't compromise with reality, and they always look like they are full of hope. ”

"And your father and I remember you as such a person. When Xu Yue said this, the corners of his mouth rose again, outlining a smile.

When Wei Lai heard this, his face changed slightly, and he was about to answer, but Xu Yue said again.

"At first, I wasn't sure if you were the person I wanted to wait for, but they didn't satisfy me, so I pinned my hopes on you. Saying this, Xu Yue turned his head and looked at Wei Lai, at this time his eyes wandered up and down Wei Lai's body for a while, and then said with a smile: "I saw you later, and I think you are still good." Although it is a little different from what I imagined you to be, after all, I still keep the part I care about the most, and it has not changed. ”

"But like I told you, I don't like you enough. ”

"It's just a process of trying each other, you don't have to put too much pressure on it, after all, you can't help myself with me, but I still don't like you that much?"

Wei Lai was infected by him, and couldn't help but smile at that time, at this time he had already pushed Xu Yue to the door of the wing where he lived before, he stopped, and said, "You can live here today, I'll go and squeeze with Daren." ”

Wei Lai carefully calculated, of the five well-maintained wing rooms, one for him and Sun Daren, one for the seventh day of the first month, one for Qingyan, and one for Longxiu, and the remaining one was left for Xu Yue.

Saying that, he pushed open the door for Xu Yue, lit the candlestick, and was about to exit the door, but before he could take a step, he was dragged by Xu Yue's outstretched hand.

The snow outside the house was getting heavier and heavier, and the young man who was being held by the arm looked confused.

"Yue'er?" he wondered.

The candle flame in the room flickered, and the girl lowered her head, so that Wei couldn't see the expression on her face at the moment, but felt that the other party's face seemed to be a little red, but I don't know if it was because of the candle flame in the room.

"We only have two months. ”

"You don't like me enough, and I don't like you enough. ”

Just when the boy was in a trance, the girl's voice sounded again, with a sweet and greasy smell that seemed to melt the boy.

Speaking of this, the girl suddenly stopped, her head buried a little deeper, and the hand that grabbed the boy's arm was a little stronger, and the pinch made the boy feel a little painful.

At this point, the boy finally determined that the girl's face really seemed to be reddening, and that the crimson was likely to intensify from her face to the base of her ears and neck.

"So......" The girl's voice sounded again, and her tone became more and more sweet and inaudible.

"Shouldn't we seize every moment and ...... How about being together?"
