Chapter 37: The Old Man Invites

When you are away from home, caution is a must. Although Wei Lai ignored the group of people in the broken temple, his attention was always on that side, and she watched the young man's every move.

Could it be that they are so unlucky, which family did they really run into? This was Wei Lai's first reaction when she found the young man coming, because she noticed that the young man's eyes had been staring directly at He Zhi, and he had not given half a cent to the few people standing next to them.

Thinking like this, Wei Lai's brows couldn't help frowning slightly. She just helped He Zhi out of the carriage, but at this time, she couldn't control Xi Qiu, who was still in the car, and one side of her body blocked in front of He Zhi: "This son, you ......"

As soon as the words came out, he choked, and even Wei Lai's originally displeased expression was a little subtle - the young man got closer, and his face, which was originally unclear because of the backlight, gradually became clear, and it was not difficult to find out at this glance, where is a teenager? It's clearly just a girl who wears men's clothes and has long hair and barely dresses up seriously.

If it were a woman, it wouldn't be a disciple, would it?

Wei Lai just thought like this, but saw that the girl in front of him had hooked the corners of his lips and raised a big smile. It's just that it wasn't to her, but to He Zhi behind her and smiled sweetly, and shouted, "Sister He? How did you get out of the capital?! ”

This is...... Know?

The girl shouted "Sister He", and the hostility of the originally faintly confrontational parties was much more restrained. Wei Lai secretly looked at the girl, and saw that her eyes were clear and there was indeed no malice, so he took a step to the side and let out He Zhi, who was blocking him, but he didn't forget to ask in a low voice: "Know?" ”

Looking at He Zhi's expression, it seemed quite surprising. She didn't rush back to Weilai, but her beautiful eyes turned slightly, and she looked the girl up and down...... It seems familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it. This is extremely rare for He Zhi, and she can only say apologetically: "I'm sorry, may I ask who you are?" ”

The girl was not surprised when she heard this, but her expression was still a little lost, she pouted slightly, and for a while her daughter's mood was fully revealed: "Sister He really forgot me, I am Zeng Yuwei." Seeing that He Zhi didn't seem to remember, she added: "Zeng Mohan's cousin, we used to play together, do you remember Sister He?" ”

When she heard Zeng Yuwei, He Zhi obviously didn't have much impression, but when she mentioned Zeng Mohan, she instantly remembered it. The reason is very simple, because Zeng Mohan was also her and Feng Yuqing's playmates when they were young, and the three of them can be said to have grown up together. It's just that later, when his great-father was transferred, Zeng Mohan also left Beijing, and now he hasn't seen him much for seven or eight years.

Seeing that He Zhi's expression gradually relaxed, and she didn't need to explain anything, Wei Lai knew that they really knew each other. It's just that Zeng Yuwei just mentioned Zeng Mohan, but I don't know who it is...... When Wei Lai didn't even notice it, she had silently kept the name in her heart.

"Sister He, but you remembered me?" Zeng Yuwei saw He Zhi's expression, and guessed that she had probably remembered, but when she leaned over with a smile, her eyes rolled, and then she said, "Or, Sister He remembered my cousin?" ”

These words seem to have some meaning, even to Wei Lai, who has always been slow in language, also heard some taste. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at He Zhi, but when she saw her, she smiled calmly: "Naturally, I remembered." When I first met you, you were just a β–‘β–‘-year-old child, and you hadn't seen you for many years, but you were slim. As for your cousin, he was my childhood playmate, and I remember it. ”

He Zhi was so calm, but people had nothing to say, even Wei Lai silently withdrew his inquiring gaze.

Zeng Yuwei didn't dwell on this issue, but came to He Zhi's side very familiarly and hugged her arm, and said with a smile: "Sister He just remembered it." In that case, you and I don't have to be polite, this is not the place to talk, let me in. After finishing speaking, she seemed to notice Wei Lai, who was still standing silently, and saw that she didn't look like a guard or a subordinate, so she asked casually: "Sister He, who is this?" ”

He Zhi glanced at Wei Lai and saw that she didn't seem to have any intention of dealing with her, so she introduced: "This is Wei Lai, a loyal general in the Dingbei Army." After a slight pause as he spoke, his eyes glanced at Wei Lai intentionally or unintentionally: "It's also mine...... FiancΓ©. ”

Hearing her introduction, Wei Lai seemed a little surprised. She couldn't help but look up, but her eyes fell into He Zhi's smiling eyes, so she awkwardly looked away the next moment - Miss He said that, in fact, it was not wrong, after all, they had exchanged Geng posts, and they were indeed fiancΓ©es in the eyes of others.

Wei Lai, who was awkward at the moment, didn't notice the flash of love in Zeng Yuwei's eyes, and when she came back to her senses, Zeng Yuwei had already recovered her previous smiling appearance: "It turned out to be General Wei, but the little girl was clumsy." If the general does not give up, please enter the temple for a while. ”

It's actually meaningless to say this, because no matter what Zeng Yuwei's attitude is, Wei Lai will definitely enter the temple to rest. However, when she said this, she showed a little politeness, which also made Wei Lai not good to continue to keep a straight face, so he had to nod and said, "In this way, thank you Miss Zeng." ”

The coachman stayed outside to settle the carriage and Wei Lai's horse, and He Zhi, Xi Qiu, and Wei Lai followed Zeng Yuwei into the broken temple. Unexpectedly and reasonably, this has been cleaned up well, naturally it is not as good as settling in the town, but it is also clean and tidy enough, that Zeng Yuwei is obviously also a very particular person.

"Sister He, you haven't sued me before, why did you leave Beijing suddenly?" As soon as she entered the door, Zeng Yuwei pulled He Zhi and said, the close appearance seemed to be that the two had a great friendship.

He Zhi didn't care, and was obediently pulled by Zeng Yuwei to sit down beside her, and patiently explained: "I got married to Wei Lai a few days ago, but this time I want to go back to my hometown with her to meet my mother. After speaking, he smiled lightly and asked, "What about you, Yuwei?" Good manners, how can you be in this wilderness and still dressed like this? ”

Zeng Yuwei blinked, also glanced down at the men's clothes on her body, and said with a smile: "It's easy to wear this way." As for why I'm here, don't you guess what, sister? ”

The two just had a little friendship when they were young, and now they are no strangers, how did He Zhi know about Zeng Yuwei? So she just thought about it for a moment and shook her head: "I don't know." ”

Zeng Yuwei smiled again: "Sister He has been smart since she was a child, and she has something she can't guess." Then I'll say it, two days will be my uncle's birthday, but unfortunately my father and brother are officials and can't move around lightly, so my family only sent me as a representative to congratulate my uncle on his birthday. After a slight pause, he said, "Coincidentally, I met Sister He here." According to our itinerary, it will be time to go to the place tomorrow afternoon, but I wonder if Sister He is interested in going to join in the fun? ”

It is said that the Zeng family is also a scholarly family, and they have been friends with the He family for generations, otherwise Zeng Mohan and He Zhi would not have become playmates when they were young. The elders of the Zeng family have passed their birthdays, and since the juniors of the He family know about it, and they happen to be able to catch up nearby, there is no reason not to go. So Zeng Yuwei's words seem to be asking, but in fact, the answer is already predestined.

Sure enough, He Zhi just hesitated a little and nodded.

Wei Lai was also exceptionally silent tonight, she had been quietly staying aside, but she had listened to the conversation between the two of them. At this moment, she didn't care if He Zhi would delay the trip again, she just wanted to know, who was Zeng Yuwei's uncle? Will...... Could it be her cousin Zeng Mohan's father?!

Inexplicably, Wei Lai felt that he was a little concerned.
