Xu Jinyu looked over with everyone.

A haggard and thin young man's face appeared in front of him.

It's Chen Yuanqing!

The handsome and smiling young man lost his former brilliance, and his whole person lost his weight and looked gloomy. The moment he saw Xu Jinyu, his eyes quickly lit up.

Xu Jinyu's heart was slightly sour. But he had to force himself to be ruthless and quickly looked away.

The light in Chen Yuanqing's eyes quickly dimmed.

"Yuan Qing, why are you here?" An Guogong greeted with a smile.

Chen Yuanqing fixed his mind and said: "I heard that there are guests coming, so I came here to take a look." As he spoke, he stepped forward and saluted the people one by one.

Xu Zheng has a limited affection for Chen Yuanqing, but when he saw Chen Yuanqing's appearance at the moment, he always had to ask a few words to express concern: "I haven't seen him for more than half a month, and Cousin Yuanqing seems to be a lot thinner and haggard. ”

Chen Yuanqing reluctantly smiled: "I was sick a few days ago, and it has only improved in the past two days. ”

Xu Zheng said politely and politely: "Even so, Cousin Yuanqing should take care of his body more." ”

Then, Chen Yuanqing stood in front of Xu Jinyu and called out to cousin Jinyu. didn't say a word, and the eyes that used to be hearty and smiling are now full of loneliness and sadness.

He ran to Shi'an Hall, just to see her more.

Xu Jinyu's heart was sour. How lucky a woman is to meet such a young man who likes her wholeheartedly in her life! But she pushed away this relationship with her own hands

However, what has already been decided should not and cannot be regretted!

Xu Jinyu saluted, called "Cousin Yuanqing", and then lowered his eyes.

Chen Yuanqing doesn't have any city government, his handsome face is like a blank piece of paper, and almost all his thoughts are written on his face. The elders present are all old and sophisticated, how can they not see it?

Ye Shi quietly glanced at Xu Jinyu, who was silent, and said with a light smile: "It's not too early, I'll order the kitchen to prepare a meal, and today you will stay in the house for lunch before leaving." ”

Xiao Zou hurriedly smiled: "This is too annoying." ”

"What's the bother?" Ye Shi smiled: "On weekdays, I always eat alone in the Shi'an Hall, and it is deserted. With so many people with me today, it's too late for me to be happy. ”

Ye is notoriously arrogant and difficult, but today he is surprisingly easy-going. Xiao Zou was flattered, but he couldn't help but be secretly suspicious.

Ye Shi is suddenly so enthusiastic, he shouldn't be calculating anything!

As he was talking, he listened to the maid's report that Tao was coming.

Dow seemed to have come in a hurry with the news, because the blush from the brisk walk had not yet faded, and there was a hint of forbearance in his eyes.

"Brother and sister, you came just in time, I was about to send someone to call you." Ye Shi said with a smile: "There are so many distinguished guests in the mansion today, I left them for lunch in Shi'an Hall at noon." You and Yuan Qing should stay together! ”

Dow squeezed out a smile: "It's okay for me to stay." However, Yuan Qing has not recovered from his illness, his diet should be light, and he can't drink alcohol, so don't stay. So as not to ruin the interest of the big guys"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Yuanqing: "Mother, my illness is almost better." If you're still not at ease, I promise you that you won't drink a drop of alcohol, and that's fine! ”

Dow: ""

Dow's face is really not good-looking.

Hearing that the Xu family was coming, Chen Yuanqing immediately ran to Shi'an Hall. Now that Xu Jinyu insists on staying for lunch, what kind of ecstasy soup did he pour into him, and make him obsessed?

But Chen Yuanqing's words had already come out, and Tao didn't want to say anything more, so he smiled stiffly: "Since you want to stay, then rely on you." However, don't drink alcohol. ”

Xu Zheng also frowned.

It was Chen Yuanqing who took the initiative to come to Shi'an Hall, and he insisted on staying for lunch. Who is Dow looking for?

For the Tao family, he would never allow Chen Yuanqing and Xu Jinyu to meet and talk in private today

At lunchtime, there will be a table for each man. They are separated by screens, and although they are not visible, they can hear each other's voices.

Dow happened to be sitting across from Xu Jinyu. glanced at Xu Jinyu from time to time, and there was something unkind in his eyes.

Xu Jinyu knew that Tao was angry with others again, and she was a little unhappy in her heart.

In Dow's eyes, his son is very good, and no matter what, it is someone else's fault. Fortunately, she didn't have the idea of marrying Chen Yuanqing, otherwise, such a harsh mother-in-law would be enough for a headache.

Being stared at by Tao like this, Xu Jinyu lost her appetite, and put down her chopsticks after a few hasty bites.

Zou asked in a low voice with concern, "Jin Niang, why didn't you eat after only a few bites?" ”

Xu Jinyu smiled casually: "I ate a lot in the morning, and I wasn't very hungry." Mother, you can eat, don't worry about me. ”

Zou is not a fool either. Dow on the opposite side looked at him frequently, and his expression was not soft at all, but a little tigerish! Regardless of his own son, he blamed her daughter, and Tao had this face.

Zou didn't like it in his heart, and it was not easy to attack because of Ye's face, so he secretly thought in his heart that he would leave immediately after lunch. And so as not to stay here and suffer this idleness in vain.

After eating, without waiting for Zou to open his mouth, Ye said with a smile: "There is a peony planted in the garden, it just bloomed two days ago, how about I accompany you to enjoy the peony?" ”

Xiao Zou responded without thinking: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Zou reluctantly swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

At this time, Xu Zheng turned from behind the screen and said with a smile: "Sister, mother and aunt are going to appreciate the peony, how about you go with me to enjoy the bamboo forest?" ”

Xu Jinyu's heart moved, and she nodded subconsciously.

Xu Zheng would never ask her for no reason to appreciate any bamboo forest, obviously wanting to avoid the elders from talking.

Tao didn't know what he thought, his brows furrowed, and he was about to speak, but Ye Shi had already responded with a smile: "You young people are impatient to listen to our nagging, just do your own thing!" ”

Xu Jinyu's hunch was quickly confirmed.

As soon as the two brothers and sisters left Shi'an Hall, Chen Yuanqing chased after them: "Cousin Zheng, cousin Jin, the road in the house is not familiar to the two of you, I will show you the way." ”

Xu Jinyu was stunned and quickly glanced at Xu Zheng.

Didn't the eldest brother always dislike Chen Yuanqing? How do you take the initiative to create an opportunity to meet them today?

Xu Zheng gave a helpless look back.

According to his intentions, he wished that Xu Jinyu would be as far away from Chen Yuanqing as possible, but Chen Yuanqing deliberately pulled him aside before lunch, and pleaded in a low voice as a teenager, he knew very well how much courage it took to plead like this. I couldn't bear to refuse for a while.

Brother and sister have always had a tacit understanding, and they understood what the other party thought with one look.

Xu Jinyu didn't say anything, and she acquiesced to Xu Zheng's arrangement.

Chen Yuanqing did not go to the bamboo forest, but led Xu Zheng Xu Jinyu to the Invitation Moon Residence. Qiao Juan greeted her, and when she saw Xu Jinyu's brothers and sisters, she was secretly shocked, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, and saluted respectfully.

Chen Yuanqing ordered in a low voice: "Let everyone stand down, without my orders, you are not allowed to get close to half a step." ”

Qiaojuan responded. Soon, the subordinates retreated.

Chen Yuanqing glanced at Xu Zheng pleadingly. The meaning of that glance was obvious.

He wanted to be alone with Xu Jinyu for a while!

Xu Zheng didn't have a superfluous expression on his face, and said lightly: "The melon field and Li Xia should avoid suspicion." What's more, your mother is extremely prejudiced against my sister, what do you think your mother will think if you two are alone and your mother finds out? What will you say? Cousin Yuanqing, today I agreed to your request because of your true feelings for my sister. But I would never risk my sister's name being damaged. I'll give you a stick of incense, and if you have anything to say, hurry up. ”

After speaking, Xu Zheng walked a few steps away to the eaves of the porch, turned slightly sideways, but the corner of his eye paid close attention to every move here.

Obviously, this is already the bottom line that Xu Zheng can accept.

Chen Yuanqing smiled helplessly, raised his head, and met Xu Jinyu's eyes. Her eyes were clear and bright, calm and soft, but they seemed so indifferent and distant.

Chen Yuanqing felt a pain in his heart, and his voice trembled slightly: "Cousin Jin" obviously has a stomach full of things to say, but at this moment, he doesn't know where to start.

Xu Jinyu hardened her heart and asked indifferently: "Cousin Yuanqing, last time I was in Moyuanju, I already made it very clear. You've gone to great lengths to see me this time, and you don't know what else to say. ”

Xu Jinyu's indifference was like a basin of cold water poured down, and Chen Yuanqing's whole body was cold in an instant.

But there are some words that are held in my heart, and I really don't vomit and feel unhappy. Chen Yuanqing took a deep breath and asked in a low voice: "That day in the Qin Palace, you accidentally fell into the water, was it the second brother who saved you, right?" ”

Sure enough, it was for this purpose

Xu Jinyu did not deny: "Yes." Today, I came to the door with my mother and brother to bring gifts, just to thank you. ”

Chen Yuanqing hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Why did the second brother go out of his way to save you?" ”

Not again! In the past few days, almost everyone around me has asked this question! Xu Jinyu responded calmly: "I'm not the second son of Chen, how do I know what he thinks." Probably out of the face of the in-laws. ”

There are so many lies that even Xu Jinyu herself feels that this is the real answer.

"How is this possible?" Chen Yuanqing's expression became excited, and his eyes were full of pain: "No one knows the second brother better than me. He would never save a woman who fell into the water for no reason, let alone an in-law, even if his sister-in-law fell into the water, he may not be willing to save her. He's clearly in love with you! ”

Xu Jinyu: ""

This joke is not funny at all!

Chen Yuanqing misunderstood Xu Jinyu's stiff look, thinking that he had said the truth, and his heart ached: "The second brother likes you, so what about you, do you also like the second brother, so you will reject me?" ”
