Chapter Ninety-Nine: The House
"How's the family going?" Jiang Qingliu and Shen Shu'er sat face-to-face on the couch and asked. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"The old lady of the big house got up after lying in bed for two days, and has been meeting guests in the house." Shen Shu'er lowered her voice and said, "I've seen it once, and his old man's red face doesn't look like he was sick at all. But my aunt was very angry, and she didn't have much appetite for the past few days. ”
Speaking of this, Shen Shu'er hesitated a little and said, "Cousin, where did you go on Chinese New Year's Eve, my aunt sent people to search all over Jinling but couldn't find it, but I'm worried!" ”
Jiang Qingliu's eyes darkened slightly, and he sighed: "It's my unfilial piety that makes my mother always worry about me." ”
"But what Dafang said at the family banquet that day was too annoying!" Shen Shu'er's little face showed a look of indignation, "If my cousin hadn't been in charge of the affairs of the house, he would have been named on the gold list a long time ago, maybe he could still get a champion, where would they be proud!" ”
Jiang Qingliu couldn't help but wonder when he heard this: "It's so easy to get the champion? ”
"Cousin's words will definitely be fine!" Shen Shu'er grinned, revealing two pointed little tiger teeth, which were very cute.
Jiang Qingliu shook his head and smiled, reaching out and rubbing her head.
"Cousin," Shen Shu'er bit her lip, took a deep breath, and asked, "Do you like Sister Wang?" ”
Jiang Qingliu was stunned for a moment, and his expression became a little unnatural.
"Ahem, what do you know about a little kid!" He coughed, slurring a reply.
Seeing that he didn't deny it, Shen Shu'er's heart sank suddenly, and a bitter meaning flooded up, and she was almost about to cry.
She forcibly endured the sour tip of her nose and squeezed out a smile: "Sister Wang is good-looking, funny and generous, it's not surprising that my cousin will like her!" Otherwise, how could I send things and let Sister Wang's family live in the mountain garden, even I haven't lived here! ”
She said the truth, the evidence was sufficient, Jiang Qingliu couldn't refute it, so she had to confess: "You just know about this matter, don't tell her mother first, I have my own arrangements." ”
Shen Shu'er nodded in agreement, and the pain in her heart became clearer and more painful. Afraid that she would not be able to hold back her tears, she didn't stay any longer and pulled Qian's mother, who was checking everywhere, back to Jiangfu.
On the way, she was alone in the carriage and silently shed many tears. She remembered that when she was bullied when she was a child, Jiang Qingliu was always the first to stand in front of her. That small figure had carved deep traces into her memory, and it became more and more indelible as time passed. Who else will protect her from bullying in the future?
Her eyes were swollen from crying, and she didn't dare to see Feng when she returned to the house, so she went back to her room to rest under the pretext that she was too tired.
"Did you see the girl? How is it? Feng Shi saw that Mother Qian was back, and asked in a deep voice.
"He looks good and has a good temperament, and he is also very good at talking, and he has an idea." Mother Qian recalled several conversations with Wang Jian today and replied.
"It's good to have no idea if you don't have an idea, and if you have too much idea, you don't necessarily have to be in IKEA." Feng said lightly.
"Why didn't Shu'er come over? Is she in a good mood? She frowned, unable to help but worry.
"Miss Shu'er looked okay on her face, and she was very happy to see the fourth master." Mother Qian sighed and said, "But just now I saw that my eyes were a little swollen, and I was afraid that I cried hard." I'll go back to the yard to rest. ”
Feng Shi showed a look of distress on his face, and sighed: "This god always has to toss people before he is willing." Although I am old, I can't bear to suffer this piece of flesh and blood, and I can't say that I need to think about it anymore. ”
"Will the fourth master be..."Mother Qian said worriedly.
"After all, I gave birth to him, and I can't bear to force him." A flash of solidity flashed in Feng's eyes, "But let him see his heart clearly before making a choice." ”
*********************************
In the blink of an eye, it is the second Yen Festival.
In the morning, everyone in the mountain garden ate a bowl of boiled lanterns, and then they were busy hanging up the prepared lanterns.
Nearly 100 lanterns of different shapes and colors were hung under the eaves, on the walls, on the branches, and on the stone paths.
"Didn't you say that you went to the city to enjoy the lanterns, why are there so many hanging in the garden?" Wang Jinqi said.
"I'm afraid you won't see enough tonight, so I'll have someone set up more in the garden. At night, people can also enjoy the illuminations. Jiang Qingliu explained.
Wang Jin blushed slightly, and said angrily: "I haven't seen the world like that? ”
"Of course not!" Jiang Qingliu hurriedly said, "I just want you to be happy, I feel happy when I see you happy, you..."
"I know!" Afraid that he would say the sour thing that you are not happy and I am not happy, Wang Jin hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Then when will we leave?" ”
"When we go into the city, we will go to the street to enjoy the lanterns after dinner." Jiang Qingliu looked at her and smiled extremely gently, "This year's fireworks will be extraordinarily grand, I'll take you to see it then." ”
"Hmm." Wang Jin nodded lightly, and her heart swayed with a hint of sweetness.
In the evening, they arrived at the reserved Taihe Restaurant, and Shen Shu'er had already arrived first in the private room.
"Cousin, Sister Wang!" When Shen Shu'er saw them, a smile spread on her little face, and she pounced like a butterfly. She and the Chen family met for the first time, and after some introduction, everyone took a seat.
"There are so many people out there today!" Shen Shu'er pointed out the window and exclaimed, "The carriages on the street are blocked so that we can't walk the road, and it took us half an hour to come from the house!" ”
"We, too, the carriage can't move on the street in front of us, so we really can't get out of the carriage and come over." Wang Jin smiled, "Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll still be on the street!" ”
Shen Shu'er couldn't help but stick out her tongue when she heard this, and her appearance was extremely cute.
"This sister is so beautiful, like a fairy!" Wang Tang said childishly.
It's not the first time Shen Shu'er has heard this, but she still can't help blushing.
Wang Mu and Wang Shi just glanced at her when they first entered the door, and then they avoided her and didn't dare to look at her, and they blushed a little when they greeted her.
Wang Jin had noticed it a long time ago, and thought that the younger brothers looked very funny, and couldn't help but snicker in her heart.
She pretended to be displeased and said, "Tang'er, isn't the eldest sister not good-looking, not like a fairy?" ”
Wang Tang twisted his small body, thought about it, and said crisply: "Tang'er's mother and eldest sister are the most beautiful!" ”
"What a goblin!" Chen couldn't help pinching Wang Tang's nose and said with a smile.
Everyone else was amused.
The dinner is naturally very rich, Taihelou is one of the best restaurants in Jinling, and all kinds of dishes are exquisite and delicious. Even when the food is full, the food is not slow to be served at all.
"Eldest sister, Tang'er wants to go to the toilet." Halfway through eating, Wang Tang suddenly pulled Wang Jin's sleeve and said pitifully.
"Okay, my sister will take you to the clean room." She touched Wang Tang's head.
"Do you want me to come along?" Jiang Qingliu said warmly.
"No, just let the guy take us there." Hearing him say this, Wang Jin's heart was sweet and he couldn't help but worry about being discovered, so he hurriedly led Wang Tang and followed the guy who led the way out of the room.
Their private room is on the second floor, and the entire restaurant in Taihe Building is in a hollow shape, and you need to go through a long corridor to clean the room.
Every box passing by is brightly lit, and the sound of staggering is endless, and it is very lively.
"Your restaurant business is really good!" She couldn't help but admire.
"Hehe, our Taihe Building has always had a good business, and there are a lot of customers, let alone during the holidays." The guy laughed.
Wang Jin looked at the carved beams and columns in the corridor, the bright paint, the precious bonsai decorations placed everywhere, and the exquisite scenery in the inner courtyard of the cloister, and thought to himself that the rich man's money was really easy to make.
Walking around the corner, the lights were a little dim, and Wang Jin saw the figure of a man standing by the railing with his hands in his hands, as if enjoying the scenery in the courtyard.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man subconsciously glanced at it, and his gaze could not be taken back.
Wang Jian didn't notice it, lowered his head and passed by the man.
"Tang'er, slow down!" Seeing that there was a staircase in front of him, Wang Jian hurriedly reminded.
But Wang Tang was a little anxious, and ran down in a hurry. The steps of the stairs were a little high, and her swaying little body made Wang Jin panic, but fortunately, the guy hurriedly followed and supported her.
Wang Jian breathed a sigh of relief and walked down.
She wore a pleated dress with colorful butterflies and flowers today, and tied a bow on the left side of her belt, which looked very sweet.
But at this time, the bow hooked the handrail by the staircase, and as soon as she took a step, she felt that something was wrong, and her leaning forward body was first pulled back by a strong force, and then the force disappeared, and she suddenly lost control and fell backwards.
Thankfully, no one saw it. This was the moment of the fall, and Wang Jin's heart was full of joy.
"Hehe, I haven't seen you for a few months, and I can't even walk?" There was no expected pain, and a magnetic voice sounded overhead.
It can't be such a coincidence, right? Wang Jian wailed secretly.
Slowly opened his eyes, and sure enough, he saw that gentle smiling face, Wang Jin sneered and said, "Gongzi Li, so coincidental? ”
"It's a coincidence." Li Mingqian smiled faintly, "Otherwise, Miss Wang will be lying down." ”
Wang Jian hurriedly stood up from his arms, his face a little burned.
"Gongzi Li also came to Taihe Building for dinner?" She changed the subject.
Li Mingqian withdrew his arm, nodded and replied, "Well, with the elders of my grandfather's family." ”
Since the last time the two made an agreement, Wang Jian has deliberately alienated Li Mingqian, and it is inevitable that he will cross the river and demolish the bridge. But it was inconvenient for her to explain the reason, and she naturally felt very embarrassed when facing him at this time.
She let out a dry sigh, not knowing what to say next.
Li Mingqian didn't speak, and the atmosphere was a little tense for a while.
Fortunately, the cute little Wang Tang appeared in time to break the silence between the two.
"Brother Li!" She recognized Li Mingqian at once, and called out crisply.
"Tang'er still remembers me." Li Mingqian said softly.
Wang Jin, who was in a hurry to slip away, didn't have time to wait for them to catch up, and hurriedly said: "There are friends still waiting, so let's go over first." Li Gongzi, farewell. ”
After speaking, he took Wang Tang's footsteps and hurried back to the private room.
"Friends?" Looking at her disappearing back, Li Mingqian squinted his eyes and muttered.
