When Julia met Eighth Brother at school, he was coming out of the school building with a stack of lesson plans.

He was still wearing the black cashmere coat, and Julia realized that he was actually very thin, but his eyes were bright, and there was a little imperceptible excitement in that brightness, like a patient with a high fever.

Drawing her sword and looking around at a loss—a sentence suddenly popped into Julia's mind.

Ye Gucheng is looking for his enemies.

When the eighth elder brother walked up to her, Julia said politely: "Eighth master." ”

The eighth elder brother looked at her and smiled slightly: "For my fourth brother, he will be called 'Ah Zhen', and to me he will be called 'Eighth Master', so our relationship is so estranged?" ”

Julia was stunned by what he said, so she had to smile: "I have known the fourth master for too long, and the title at the beginning has become a habit - the eighth master is not surprised." ”

The eighth elder brother smiled even more: "Look, it's become the 'fourth master' again." No wonder the fourth brother likes you so much, and everyone is thoughtful for him. ”

Julia was even more embarrassed by him, and knew that she couldn't dwell on this topic anymore, so she hurriedly asked: "Du Juan said, the eighth master has something to find me?" ”

"Well, something." Eighth Elder Brother said with a smile, "Next month, I want to invite you to come to the Ye family and have dinner together." ”

When Julia heard this, she was puzzled: "This ...... Not really, right? ”

Eighth Elder Brother also sighed: "I know it's not good. There's a bit of a pain in it - let's find a place to talk about it, okay? ”

Julia was even more difficult, and she smiled dryly, "This ......"

The eighth elder brother was disappointed: "Can't we even talk?" Fourth brother controls you so strictly? ”

Julia became more and more agitated, and she had to continue to laugh dryly: "It's not your fourth brother's problem. The eighth master is too popular in the school, if I talk to you a few more words, I don't know how many people will chew the root of his tongue tomorrow. ”

"Those are outsiders who don't know the truth, don't care." Eighth Elder Brother said, looking at her again, "Or are you really worried about my fourth brother......

"No, no." Julia hurriedly waved her hand, "He, he won't care, okay, let's go to the school tea restaurant." ”

It's better to have some tea at school than coffee outside. After all, the spread of gossip in schools is limited. Julia thought.

The two went to the school's tea restaurant, found a private seat with no one, and asked for two cups of tea.

"Actually, that's true." Eighth Brother said, "Next month." It was Ye Xun's mother's fifty-fifth birthday. It's not a whole life. So there will be no family dinners. It's just a family get-together, but she's eager to meet you. ”

"See me?"

Eighth Elder Brother nodded: "Actually, I am also to blame for this matter." Originally, I was talking to your father, oh, Wei Mingyue's father, about going abroad to study. It just so happened that Ye Xun's uncle broke his leg while skiing, and Ye Xun's mother was a little worried, so she asked me to accompany her to visit Ye Xun's uncle. Then I thought, anyway, it's time to come to the front, so it's better to visit Wei Mingyue's parents by the way, anyway, the two cities are only three hours away by car. ”

Julia nodded, "I see. ”

"As a result, I don't know how to talk about it, Ye Xun's mother and Wei Mingyue's parents talked very well, so I think there may have been some misunderstanding between them."

The eighth elder brother stopped here.

Seeing that he was silent, Julia was also embarrassed: "So, can the eighth master explain it to them?" ”

Eighth Elder Brother smiled bitterly: "Do you think I didn't say it? I repeatedly explained to Ye Xun's mother that I was just going to go over to study, not to visit my girlfriend's parents, and I didn't know you too well...... But Ye Xun's mother didn't believe me, and she blamed me for hiding it for so long and not telling her. ”

“……”

"I couldn't help being pestered by the old people, so I didn't insist, I wanted to ignore you to make up the scene first, and I just wanted to prevaricate when I said this. Unexpectedly, Ye Xun's parents took it seriously. Recently, I have been asked about this matter one after another, and I have been annoyed by them so much that I can't help it, and I was so abrupt in front of you last time. ”

Julia bowed her head and was silent, she thought to herself, it's okay for you to lie to others by saying this, but it won't be good to lie to me.

But on the surface, Julia couldn't show it, so she thought about it and said with a smile: "It's understandable that the old people want to see the eighth master get married as soon as possible." There are so many young women in the school, I think the eighth master can open his eyes to choose. ”

Eighth Elder Brother smiled: "But Ye Xun's mother just fell in love with you." ”

Julia was surprised: "How could it be! She hasn't even seen me! ”

"But she watched a lot of your videos and photos at Wei Mingyue's parents, and talked to Wei Mingyue's parents for so long, she likes you very much." The eighth elder brother said, "This time she has a birthday, I hope you have to come anyway." ”

Julia looked down and said to herself, "I can't go anyway."

Seeing her like this, the eighth elder brother also understood in his heart: "Are you afraid that my fourth brother will be unhappy?" ”

Julia raised her head and said with a smile: "Eighth Master, I can't promise you this matter." The fourth master will indeed be unhappy. Second, it is a misunderstanding, and the misunderstanding should be clarified, how can there be a reason to aggravate the misunderstanding? ”

At that time, they were in the crowded restaurant, although it was a private seat separated by a screen, but there were still students and teachers who knew them to probe their brains.

Eighth Elder Brother nodded: "I know, this request is difficult for you, but I am really helpless." Ye Xun's mother has been in poor health in recent years, and she wants to have heart surgery, but her health conditions are not up to standard, so she can only soak in a medicine jar every day. Actually, I don't ask for anything else, Julia, you just need to show up and help me out. I'll explain it to them slowly. ”

Julia was silent for a long time, still gritting her teeth, and said, "Eighth Master, it's not that I don't want to help you in this matter, I really feel that I shouldn't show my face on this occasion, doing so will only make the situation more chaotic." ”

The eighth elder brother looked at her and smiled: "Lao Jiu told me that you are very good to the elder brothers, and when you encounter difficulties, you will not hesitate to go to the soup." But looking at it this way, there is still a difference after all, you broke through together, so you treat them as your own family, and I do. I haven't shared hardships with you, so I'm treated as an outsider by you......"

Julia couldn't tell what he said, and she hurriedly said, "Eighth Master, I didn't mean that!" ”

"Either or, you are afraid of my fourth brother and afraid that he will be angry - or maybe he is not a person who can understand others."

Eighth Elder Brother's seemingly understated complaint, Julia was furious in her heart when she heard it, and she couldn't wait to jump up and kick over the table! But she was hindered by the affection of the two elder brothers, but it was not easy to express it immediately. I had to force my anger. euphemistically: "Eighth Master, why bother? The fourth master and I are going to get married next year, in this case, I will go to the Ye family's family banquet alone, how bad is this. ”

Eighth Elder Brother looked at her with a smile. Suddenly, he said, "I heard." Wei Mingyue's parents are going back to China? ”

Julia was shocked: "Ugh. This ......"

"I also heard that Wei Mingyue's parents are very angry about you and my fourth brother?"

Julia smiled reluctantly: "They are right to your fourth brother." There was a bit of a misunderstanding......"

"So you see, you are neither Wei Mingyue, nor am I Ye Xun. We all have our own difficulties, and they are so similar. Eighth Brother smiled, "Why can't we do each other a favor and let everyone get through the difficult time together?" ”

Julia was silent.

"You help me coax Ye Xun's parents, and I help you coax Wei Mingyue's parents, so that both parties can be appeased, kill two birds with one stone, and everything will be fine."

Julia was forced by him to be unable to do so, so she had to say, "I have to discuss this matter with the fourth master." ”

The eighth elder brother shook his head slightly: "Julia, Julia, three from four virtues is a requirement for women in the Qing Dynasty, and you are not from the Qing Dynasty, why do you take my fourth brother as your god?" ”

Julia smiled hard: "It's not that day he was treated, but this matter is very big, and I can't help but discuss it with him." ”

Eighth Elder Brother looked at her and nodded slightly: "Okay." ”

When she got up to say goodbye, the eighth elder brother looked at the untouched tea in her teacup and smiled softly.

At this time, an acquaintance student came in and asked with a smile: "Teacher Ye, was that your girlfriend just now?" ”

The eighth elder brother was stunned for a moment, looked up, and saw that it was the student he taught.

"yes." He smiled, "Isn't it beautiful?" ”

Julia returned home and told Yinzhen about the eighth brother's request.

The latter listened, and just sneered.

"I also know that he is full of lies." Julia said hatefully, "If it weren't for his pranks, maybe I would have treated him like a good guy with a hard time!" ”

"The eighth child has always had a hard time." Yin Zhen said lightly, "He has also been a good person." ”

Julia sat cross-legged on the couch with a pillow in her arms.

"He is not at all the same as the eighth elder brother in the traditional concept!" She said indignantly, "Liar! It's not what the TV in the book is depicted at all! ”

Yin Zhen looked at her, but smiled: "What is described in the TV in the book?" ”

"Gentle and elegant, very considerate of others, good popularity, quite popular with ministers......"

"Well, but look, who's still embracing him now?"

"And the Ye family! The Ye family treats him as a baby! ”

"It is Ye Xun who is the treasure of the Ye family, not the eighth prince of Kangxi, if he completely exposes his identity, you see who else in the Ye family is rare to him, it is not good to avoid it." Yin Zhen said, shaking his head, "The support he wants, there is no here, only Daqing has it." ”

"But he's not in Daqing now!"

"That's where he's lost." Yinzhen said.

Julia looked at him, "But I don't think you're so lost?" You've lost more than he has, haven't you? You've lost your throne ......"

Yin Zhen laughed: "But I have you." ”

Julia's face flushed.

"So, what about the Ye family's family banquet?" She looked at Yinzhen, "How should I reply?" ”

"If you don't want to go, don't." Yin Zhen said simply, "He has no right to force you." ”

"I'm afraid he won't give up." Julia said distressedly, "And Wei Mingyue's parents are about to return to China, I'm afraid that Eighth Elder Brother will join forces with them and deal with us together." ”

Yin Zhen stroked her hair and said slowly: "You said it, we originally came out of the wilderness, and it wouldn't be a big deal to be deprived of all this." Besides, we are adults, Wei Mingyue's parents can't do anything to you. Unless the eighth child takes illegal measures, if he dares to do so, we also have the strength to resist. ”

Julia raised her face, looked at Yinzhen, and whispered, "Why does he hate you so much?" Just for the sake of things that haven't happened yet? ”

Yin Zhen stared at her, and finally said, "No." Because I have someone to love, he doesn't. (To be continued.) )
