Chapter 3: The Flickering Night (3)

"If you don't say that he is old, I don't think that the third brother will be thirty-two years old...... Isn't he going to get married again? The three sisters-in-law have passed away for three years. "Jing Yi sighed. Less than a year after the third brother's marriage, his wife died of illness. As long as the third sister-in-law is gone, he will be celibate for as long as he is. In fact, she has only seen her third sister-in-law once. I have the impression of a very delicate woman. She still remembered that the third brother was brought home after marrying her, and Du's mother told her mother behind her back, saying that the child was born thin, and at a glance, she thought she was bringing Lin Daiyu home...... Du's mother is not very literate, unlike her mother, who is full of poetry and books, and there are not many words to describe people. In addition to Lin Daiyu, there is probably only Liu Mengmei. The image of the deceased third sister-in-law is an apt description.

Who would have thought that the third sister-in-law was really thin? This is probably called jealousy.

"In the early years, he really couldn't take care of it." Zhishen and Jingyi thought about it, but he knew a little more about Zhichen's recent situation, looked at Jingyi, and said, "You can't worry about your own affairs, so you worry about the third brother." You also said that he will be thirty-two years old, doesn't he know what to do? ”

Jing Yi pouted, and said her cautiously with some unconvincing.

Zhishen looked at her, couldn't help poking the tip of her nose again, and said, "I said that I was hungry for half a day, so I asked Ah Xi to go to the kitchen and say - eat fried noodles at night, right?" Ahh Mae"

His eldest entourage came into the house from outside like an elf, "Young Master! ”

"Go and tell the kitchen that you want jajanjangmyeon for two. Then I went to Xinglu and told the second wife that Miss Ten would eat here tonight, so that she wouldn't worry about it. Also, say I thank her for the fruit. Zhi Shen explained with a grin.

Cheng Xi trotted to break.

"You don't thank me for bringing it." Jingyi was in a better mood.

"Thank you? Would you have this heart? It's not that my aunt hurts me. Zhishen smiled and shook his head. He thought to himself that Jingyi said that she was going to leave home, and others would be sad for a while, how could she bear to break her mother's heart? But if she doesn't hurt her aunt's heart, she will inevitably hurt herself, and she will be the saddest when she arrives...... Weighing the pros and cons, he decided to do her a favor anyway. He said: "When I was a child, I couldn't memorize the book and was beaten by the master, and my aunt coaxed me. I still remember that she was holding a chestnut cake at that time, and I recited a piece of "The Teacher's Table", and if I memorized it well, I got a piece of chestnut cake. The chestnut cake made by Aunt Wei is the most delicious, and I have eaten it in the market, and I have also eaten it in this and that house, but it has no taste of Aunt Wei's cooking. ”

"Where, can we have our own things at home? However, my mother said the same thing. Jingyi picked up an idle book on the small kang table and flipped through it, it was "The Last Story of the Lady of the Camellias in Paris". I was stunned for a while, and remembered that I had a wish to be able to read literature. He loved to play since he was a child, and he loved everything new and interesting. She reads these books, and she is still influenced by them. It's just that now it's prudent to drill into the economy...... Dropping the book, Jingyi said, "I'm afraid you don't have the heart to read these from now on." ”

Zhishen smiled and said, "What, am I blindly drilling into those camps, so that this book is also stained with copper stench?" ”

Jing Yi said: "Originally, literature is just a thing in leisure time. ”

"But don't say it, I don't think anything about interning in the company or going anywhere else, but I went to the big class room of the bank with my father, which is really exciting! I've been in the bank for a long time, and I've come to find it interesting. At the previous meeting, my father asked me to sit in on the meeting, and a group of people were arguing with red faces and thick necks, in order to get back the money invested in the railways of Mongolia and the three eastern provinces. Speaking of which, my father and the Tao family ......"

Zhi Shen was talking vigorously, Jingyi pressed his hand and said, "It seems that someone is coming." ”

"Ninth Young Master, Tenth Miss!" Someone in the yard was calling them.

"Here's it?" "Come in." ”

Lin Zhichen entered the door, still wearing the black he used to wear all year round on a hot day. Jingyi felt a little uncomfortable. Zhiyi is his father's close attendant, and he always follows his father like a shadow. When I saw him, I couldn't help but think of my father's might.

Jingyi and Zhishen stood up first.

"The master asked the ninth young master and the tenth young lady to go to the wife's place to have dinner together." After Zhi Xin finished passing the master's words, he gave Shen Jingyi a salute.

"The master is back?" asked cautiously. In fact, you don't need to ask, you should know where your father is, of course where Zhixi is.

"Just returned." Zhi Yan said. He never had a superfluous word.

"Alright, let's get over here." Zhishen tilted his head at Jing Yi, "Let's go?" ”

Jingyi was not happy to go, but Zhiyi was here, she was ordered to ask her to go, and she couldn't help but go.

Zhishen looked at Jingyi like that, and said with a smile: "Father wants to see us now, presumably he is in a good mood today, why don't you take this opportunity to tell your father, then wouldn't it be right for Ming'er to bring Meng Yuan home to see his father?" ”

The more Jingyi listened, the more she felt that what Zhi Shen said was not the right way. She slapped Zhishen twice on the shoulder and said, "Did you talk like that?" ”

"Alright, alright! I'm still in a hurry! Zhishen smiled and went in to change into a long shirt.

"Look at what you're talking about." Jing Yi shook his hand and went out the door, and saw at a glance that Zhiyi was already waiting outside, and he didn't attack anymore.

At this moment, Jingyi and Zhiyi stood and waited under the verandah outside the house. Zhiyi was five or six steps away from Jingyi. It was a little dark, and the others were very dark, and the clothes on their bodies were also black, like a black shadow. Jingyi's thoughts are also a little strange. She has no malicious intentions at all, and Zhixi is really like a loyal wolf dog by her father's side...... When Zhixin was eight years old, his hometown was flooded and he left his hometown, and his family was dying, leaving only him and his grandmother. He and his grandmother begged all the way north, met his father's convoy, and risked his life to stop his father's car just to ask for a little food for his grandmother. For the sake of his filial piety, his father took him and his grandmother with him. Zhixi's grandmother later died on the road, and he became an orphan. His father took him in. Zhixin can only remember that his surname is Lin, and when he entered the Cheng family, he has been following his father. Later, his father gave him a name, Lin Zhichen.

Zhixi didn't like to study since he was a child. I went into the study and read with Zhishen for a few days, and when I saw the words in the book, I took a nap, and then my father saw that he really couldn't keep up, so he didn't force him. He doesn't like to study, but he is good at martial arts and good kung fu. Kung Fu was practiced with the head of the family's hometown, Ding Ling. It's hard to say how deep Bao Ye's kung fu is. But she had seen him practice with Bao Ye. After sleeping three watches and getting up five watches, they got up early and went into the study, and he had already finished his morning class. According to Zhi Shen, Zhi Yan hid a soft whip on his body, pointing where to hit, and he was superb. Later, as his father's career grew bigger and bigger, the family members also changed from cold weapons to hot weapons, equipped with guns. Zhiyi learned to use a gun as a teenager, and it is said that his marksmanship is no worse than kung fu. Even Du's mother said that it was foolproof to be by his father's side.

In addition to trust, she has no good feelings for Zhixi.

However, neither she nor Zhi Shen took it seriously. and Bao Ye's son Sibao is also playing with them. It's just that the four treasures are straightforward, and sometimes they don't look at the eyebrows and low eyes, not like Zhiyi. Zhichen always kept his distance from them. Especially with her.

"Let's go." Be cautious and come out.

As he walked, he hooked Zhi Xin's shoulders and tried to reach for a pistol from Zhi Chen. was pinched by Zhixi's wrist. It seemed that Zhishen didn't have any strength at all, but Zhishen almost shouted.

"Young master, don't. Swords and guns have no eyes. Zhi Yan whispered.

Zhi Shen rubbed his hands, punched Zhi Xin, and said, "Boy, the strength of your hands is good again." ”

Zhishen didn't touch the pistol, and after a while he went to sneak up on Zhixi, trying to pull out the long whip he had hidden on his body. It didn't work out, and even he couldn't help laughing......

Jing Yi walked behind them and saw this scene.

She couldn't help but feel that maybe one day, Zhixi's whip would be whipped on her...... She slowed down, fell a mile, and was shouted by Zhi Shen to hurry up before catching up again.

At this time, the upper room was quiet from the inside to the outside.

Jing Yi originally thought that everyone might have arrived, but when she entered the door, there was no one else, only her father and Du's mother were talking about something, and when they saw the two of them coming in, they also stopped. Jingyi bowed cautiously and stood aside. For a moment no one spoke, and the room was silent.

Du Shi looked at the hour and said softly, "Master, can you have some food?" ”

Cheng Shiyun nodded.

Du Shi asked people to pass dinner, Cheng Shiyun sat there, looked at the youngest son and youngest daughter who were still standing, and then said: "School will start soon, I heard that the old seven and eight are all studying their homework, just the two of you, and you are just naughty." From tomorrow onwards, we will all go to the study to read. I'm coming back to ask you about your homework. ”

"It's time to eat, what are you going to scare them for? How is Old Nine Little Ten naughty? Doesn't Lao Jiu often go to the company with you to learn how to do things? "Du Shi is not satisfied with the protection of his children.

"He also called learning to do things? It's pretty much the same thing. Cheng Shiyun said.

"If you don't go, you will say that he has no filial piety and does not know how to share your worries; Go, and you say he's causing trouble. Master, how are you called a man? Du asked with a smile.

"A loving mother has many defeated children. You just spoil them. Cheng Shiyun said, seeing Jing Yi standing beside Zhishen, and quietly sent a sympathetic look to her ninth brother. He wanted to have a seizure, but he saw Jing Yi still bowing his head in a hurry-under the faint light shadow, Jing Yi, who was wearing a plain and pure bean green raffia skirt, fluttered like a little dragonfly fairy, as if she was more cute than before...... He frowned.
