Chapter 10: The Return

I wanted to go all the way, and when I arrived at the big dining room, Li Da had already prepared breakfast, and the father and daughter each ate some. Li Lanfeng traveled and went back to the room to rest after breakfast, but Wanchun came to the spirit, thinking that the day after tomorrow when his mother and third brother came back, he must be going to the birthday party at the beginning of next month, so he pondered how to avoid him at the Jingyu birthday party and see Zhao Chunmei.

As for what to do after meeting, she didn't know the bottom in her heart, no one in the world wanted to tolerate the accomplice who killed her to talk and laugh under her nose, and she thought she would be no exception.

A few white clouds slowly drifted over the boxy blue sky overhead, she just stood in the yard and was distracted, Xiu'er hugged a bed of red silk quilt and was about to be put on the clothesline to dry, seeing her busy smile and said: "The sun is coming, Miss Four, sit in the house." ”

Wan Chun's face moved lightly, revealing a smile.

Only now did she really fall in love with the title of Fourth Miss, and she was also ready to move in her heart, but she wanted to see if the fourth miss of the Li family in Beiling met the second miss of the Zhao family in Beiling, who could have the last laugh in this big scene.

The days passed like a white horse, and two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Yu Shiguo, as Li Lanfeng said, took Ji Yuan from Suzhou to the old capital on the afternoon of the 30th.

The family sent a spare car to pick him up, and Wanchun was fine, so he followed the car and went to the station together.

Yu didn't want her to come, so he had to say a few words of disgust, and criticized the driver and the messenger, to the effect that they had connived at the wayward behavior of the fourth lady.

The driver and the messenger didn't dare to argue, so they could only carefully take Yu and Ji Yuan's luggage and put it in the car. Nareen had returned with her mother, and had already taken the car back with the messenger.

Here Wan Chun and Yu Ji Yuan's mother and son got into the car, Ji Yuan sat in the co-pilot, twisted his body and turned around, and said to Wan Chun with a smile: "Why can't you wait to come out like this?" It only took us an hour to get home from the station. ”

Wanchun said: "I can't wait, it's just that after Jin Li returned to Shanghai, I was too bored at home alone, and my grandfather and father knew about it when I came, and they didn't say anything about me." ”

When Yu heard it from the side, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Your grandfather and father are busy with business, how could they hear what you said?" Caizhu's time with me is not short, I thought they were loyal and reliable, I didn't think of it like this, I didn't even know that you came out. ”

Wan Chun'er listened to it and was about to affect others, so she hurriedly smiled: "It's none of their business, since my grandfather and father came back, Steward Li, Uncle Huai'an and Aunt Caizhu are quite good in the upper room, and I have Xiu'er and Mother Zhou by my side, so they are relieved." ”

"So, where are your Xiu'er and Zhou's mother?" Yu frowned and asked closely.

Wanchun stuck out her tongue and didn't answer.

Yu sighed and said, "Well, it's hard for you to be kind and excuse this person." I don't care about them this time, and if there is a next time, even you and I will not spare them. After speaking, he remembered the matter of the post, and said, "After I called you that day, you didn't give me a reply, who sent the post?" ”

Wan Chun told the two of them about Fanliu, and when it came to Liu Jingyu's birthday party, before Yu could say anything, Ji Yuan preemptively said: "It's really called Bingjun's kid to mix, and Mi Siliu's birthday will inevitably be very lively." ”

As soon as Yu heard this, he knew that there was a story in it that he didn't know, but Ji Yuan was already an adult, according to the Western education method, jokes between children and daughters, parents don't have to ask, so she let it go, and only asked Wanchun: "Is your body good?" If it's good, I'm going to take this opportunity to take you everywhere to get to know each other, think about how you will be eighteen next year, since the Liu family has held such a grand birthday banquet, we must not let it be inferior on your birthday. ”

"That's a great thing." Ji Yuan clapped his hands and sighed with a smile, "If my mother really handles it like this, then please leave the banquet to me next year, I don't dare to say anything else, I have a lively birthday party, but I am doing it......"

Before he finished speaking, he called Yu Shi back: "It's just a matter of messing around by yourself, don't pull your sister, she is not suitable for associating with your group of fox friends and dogs." ”

When Ji Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Mother, you are too partial, the friends made by the fourth sister are friends, and the friends I made are fox friends and dog friends?" So, in this way, Zhang Jingtong, Zhao Guodong and Liu Bingjun are not also my fox friends? ”

He is accustomed to admitting death, and he can say a pouting when he gets up in a hurry, Wan Chun covered his mouth and pursed his lips with a smile, and listened to him move the remaining three of the four sons of the capital out as a shield, so he said: "Mom is just an analogy like this, not that all your friends are like this." You pulled Dong Wuye and them out, but what did you say to your mother? ”

Ji Yuan drooped his face and was about to speak, when suddenly his mind flashed, and he hurriedly asked Wanchun: "You just said that Fifth Master Dong?" How do you know that people outside call Zhang Jingtong Dong Fifth Master? ”

"Well...... this"

Wanchun dragged out the end of the note, and only after selling a pass did he smile: "That day, I went to play in the garden with Jin Li, and I happened to meet, and I heard the West Cub call him Dong Wuye, so I only knew." ”

"In the garden?" Ji Yuan's eyes were half-open and half-closed, and he paused for a moment before saying, "Is it Xiangshan Park?" ”

Wan Chun said: "Exactly." ”

Ji Yuan snorted unconsciously, turned around formally, and said to Wanchun: "Since you have seen him, then let me ask you, how is he?" ”

Wan Chun thought for a while before saying: "It's just a one-sided relationship, what my brother insists on telling me, I have no choice but to say that he is indeed worthy of such a famous figure as the fourth prince of the capital." ”

"What about the others?" Ji Yuan looked anxious.

Wan Chun smiled and said: "Nothing else, isn't my brother very good with him, why do you need to ask me?" ”

Ji Yuan sighed and said, "I'm not just asking you how he is, I'm afraid that you will fall for him." Jing Dong, as the fifth young master of the presidential palace, has always been very popular with women, and the means of chasing girlfriends are endless, and one of every four issues in the "Beijing Daily" publishes his romantic deeds, you are not an opponent to him at all, it is best not to communicate again. ”

Yu Shi heard that he seemed to be alarmist, and laughed with a smile: "Now you also have the face to say that others, the fifth young master has been among thousands of flowers, what about you?" Where is it better than him, your name is not missing in the Beijing newspaper, right? ”

Ji Yuan's face turned white: "I'm different, I make friends with other people's sisters, Wanchun is my own sister, how can I not measure my sister as a brother?" ”

"That's a mistake." Yu Shi covered his mouth and laughed, "What is your sister Yu Fifth Young Master doing, is she also a sister of someone else's family in his eyes?" You go to play with other people's girls, after all, one day others will treat your sister like this, although you have a good heart for Wanchun, but what you do makes me look down on me. ”

"This ...... Mother ......" Ji Yuan choked her with a word, and she had to stomp her feet and say, "Stop, stop, kindness is like a donkey's liver and lungs, what kind of heart do I have to do." Since you don't believe it, and you still use words to pressure me, don't blame me if you regret it in the future. ”

The driver who was driving in front didn't want their mother to be annoyed by her speech, and when he saw Ji Yuan stomping his feet like this, he couldn't help but remind: "Third young master, be careful to step on the accelerator." ”

Saying this, Ji Yuan's heart was even more depressed, he turned his head to look out of the car window, and refused to talk to Wanchun and Yu anymore.

Wanchun and Yu looked at each other and smiled in the back seat, and after a while, the car drove to the Jing'an Mansion, and the messenger in the concierge had already received the news, opened the door to greet him, and said, "Mrs. is good, the third master is good, and the fourth lady is good." ”

Yu asked, "Did my father and Mr. go out?" ”

The messenger replied: "The old gentleman went to the yamen, and the gentleman knew that the wife was back today, so he didn't go out." ”

Yu nodded slightly, and went to the upper room, where Ji Yuan and Wan Chun walked behind. When he arrived at the upper room, Li Lanfeng was really sitting on the sofa inside, and when he saw them, he put down the official document in his hand and said with a smile: "Mrs. This trip is enough to relax." ”

Yu sat beside him with a smile, loosened the shawl on his shoulders and rested it on the armrest of the soft leather sofa, and said: "My mother is celebrating her seventieth birthday this time, and there are one hundred and ten clansmen in the family alone. ”

Li Lanfeng smiled meaningfully, Ji Yuan and Wan Chun stepped forward to say good morning to him, Li Lanfeng saw Wan Chun and returned it, but admonished Ji Yuan: "You have been playing crazy for the past few days thanks to your grandmother's blessing." Seeing that school is about to start, if you don't go back to your room to review your homework, what are you doing here? ”

Ji Yuan smiled: "I haven't seen my father for many days, is it wrong to ask my father for peace?" Homework is naturally to be reviewed, but filial piety must also be fulfilled. ”

Li Lanfeng made him laugh, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Flamboyant tongue!" Go, I don't need you to fulfill your filial piety here, if you don't make trouble for us, it's the greatest filial piety. ”

Ji Yuan pursed his lips with a smile, tugged at Wanchun's sleeve, and the two were about to go out side by side, and heard Yu Shi say: "Slow, since tomorrow is Miss Liu Er's birthday, the two of you should also choose a gift for others, don't patronize and play by yourself." ”

"Yes."

Wan Chun and Ji Yuan agreed together, and then they went out of the upper room.

Ji Yuan naturally had a lot to say to Wan Chun, and the brother and sister muttered all the way back to Ji Yuan's room, Ji Yuan took out the silk scarves and other things brought back from Suzhou, and let Wan Chun pick them up to her heart's content, and the rest were still put in the box, waiting to be given to others in the future.

Speaking of the birthday party, Wan Chunyin asked Ji Yuan what kind of form it was, and Ji Yuan smiled: "I can't say for sure, this time it's Liu Bingjun's ghost, that person has a lot of ideas and a lot of tricks, probably only tomorrow we can know." ”

Wan Chun smiled, went back to the room to put the gifts she got neatly, and asked Xiu'er to take a pair of silver stranded shrimp bracelets that she bought two days ago, and a string of pearl necklaces left by Jin Li when she left, and wrapped them in a box with brocade edges for a birthday gift for silent words.

It was the first day of the ninth month, and early in the morning, Wanchun lay in bed with her eyes open, listening to the ticking of the pendulum.

Thinking that she would be able to meet the murder accomplice in a short time, her heart was like turning over the river and the sea, and the waves were unsettled.

Turned over on the bed, the sky outside had slowly begun to shine, and a touch of fish belly white in the distance could be faintly seen outside the window, Wanchun was holding the quilt on her body, even though the weather had not yet come out, she still felt cold.

It was as cold as the river water that day, cold to the bone.
