Xu Mingyuan and Yi glanced at each other, Yi pointed to Xu Mingyuan's chest, Xu Mingyuan nodded slightly, and then entered the courtyard together and took the courtyard door with him.

This is a small courtyard with two entrances, but compared with the ordinary large courtyard, it is smaller and more exquisite, there is no large inverted room, and there is a garden when you enter the door. But now it's winter, the flowers and plants have long since dried up, and there are many old plum branches in the corner of the wall, and a few branches are sticking out of the wall.

In the garden is a living room, with a few chairs of yellow pears, a few calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and a blue and white plum vase on a small table in the corner of the house, with two branches inserted, and the flowers have long been gone. The eaves outside the living room are raised and the lighting is quite good, and the backyard should be inside.

Xu Mingyuan and Yi followed Qi Yueru into the living room, Qi Yueru asked the two to sit first, and after a while, they brought out a pot of tea and poured it for the two.

"Where's Natsu?" Yi took the teacup, directly picked up the teacup to warm his hands, looked left and right and asked.

"She went grocery shopping, but I heard her say that she always felt that someone was following her when she went out in the past two days, and I don't know if someone is really eyeing her." Qi Yueru said while pouring tea for Xu Mingyuan.

"I don't know what it is, I'll take a look at it tomorrow." Yi nodded and said, not showing any surprise.

"Okay." Qi Yueru lightly put the teacup on the coffee table next to Xu Mingyuan, and answered softly, but there was no worry.

Qi Yueru sat down on the chair opposite Xu Mingyuan, looked at Xu Mingyuan and chuckled, "Where did my brother meet Xu Gongzi?" Did he say when he would return? ”

"I met on the Shu Road, but I had contact with it once in Shuzhou before, and he said that the return date was undecided. It may take some time. Xu Mingyuan picked up the teacup and paused, and said slowly.

"I don't know if he will come back for the New Year this year. It's going to snow in a little while. Qi Yueru shook her head with a smile and glanced at the sky outside the door. A flash of worry flashed in his eyes.

Yi lowered his head and drank tea, Xu Mingyuan took the lid of the cup and gently flicked the tea leaves floating on it, and the living room fell into silence.

After drinking a cup of tea, Yi is got up and said goodbye: "Then I'll go back first." ”

"Don't you stay to finish eating?" Qi Yueru looked up at Yi and asked.

"I won't eat today, go back and get something, I'm going to collect the accounts in the evening, Xiao Qi will go with me." Yi shook his head and said.

"Another three years?" Qi Yueru nodded, turned to look at Xu Mingyuan and said, "You turned out to be from the Yuntai Division?" ”

"Let's start today." Xu Mingyuan shook his head, and also put down the teacup and stood up. patted Yi on the shoulder and said, "I'll take the things off the cart, you can dispose of the carriage, and remember to keep it for me." ”

Xu Mingyuan and Yi went out and took down the quilts, clothes and books in the car, and as for the remaining small items, they were pulled away directly by Yi.

Yi lives in the Yuntai Division, but that courtyard is too infiltrating for Xu Mingyuan, so he still plans to live here after knowing that this courtyard only has Qi Yueru and a little maid.

And that day, Qi Haobo said that he would help him take care of the things in the house. also made Xu Mingyuan have more snacks, Qi Yueru said that someone was following her maid, so maybe someone would attack the two of them, Xu Mingyuan lived in the yard. It can also protect them.

Qi Yueru led Xu Mingyuan to the guest room in the backyard, the room was not very big, but it was elegantly decorated. In addition to a bed, there is a desk and a bookshelf.

The table is full of pen, ink, paper and inkstone. There aren't many books on the shelves, but a few delicate little things. Outside the window is a small flower bed, and you can see withered branches and leaves.

Xu Mingyuan put the books on the bookshelf, put the bookcase in the corner of the house, tied up his old bedding and put it aside, and saved the need to make the bed again.

After a while, Qi Yueru's little maid also came back, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, wearing a red jacket and two braids, looking quite smart, she was startled when she saw Xu Mingyuan at first glance, but after hearing that it was Qi Haobo's friend, it was Xu Gongzi and Xu Gongzi who were very affectionate.

The sky was getting dark, Xu Mingyuan went to wash up well, changed into a clean green shirt, buried Lao Huang outside the city today, got a muddy body, and it was difficult for Qi Yueru not to drive him out directly.

Xiao Xia just served the last dish after frying, looked at Xu Mingyuan who had just changed his clothes, couldn't help but widen his eyes, followed Xu Mingyuan into the dining room, put down the dishes in his hand, and then pulled Qi Yueru and whispered: "Wow, miss, it turns out that Xu Gongzi is still a pretty scholar." ”

"You're not ashamed." Qi Yueru smiled and nodded Xiao Xia's forehead.

Xiao Xia rubbed her forehead with a bitter face, leaned over her head again and said softly, "Does that young lady like Yi?" ”

"Xiao Xia, you're really going to be beaten by me." Qi Yueru couldn't help but smile and stretched out her hand to bounce towards Xiao Xia's forehead.

"Xu Gongzi, save me." Xiao Xia ran away with a smile and hid directly behind Xu Mingyuan, and poked out his head and grimaced at Qi Yueru.

Xu Mingyuan looked at this scene with a smile, feeling a little warm and interesting. Qi Yueru is only thirteen or fourteen years old, but she has the demeanor of the eldest lady in the family, and it seems that she has been in charge of this family all these years, without losing her stability at all.

Qi Haobo is away from home all the year round, and the relationship between Qi Yueru and this Xiao Xia is no longer just an ordinary master and servant, but more like two sisters, so Xiao Xia dares to have a small fight with her.

The three of them ate at the same table, and I have to say that Xiao Xia, this little girl, is not very old, and the food cooked out is still good, especially for Xu Mingyuan, who eats coarse grain cakes and noodles along the way, he can't help but eat a few more bowls of rice.

After getting acquainted, Xu Mingyuan and Qi Yueru also changed their names, Xu Mingyuan called her Yueru, and Qi Yueru called him Brother Qi.

When Xu Mingyuan finished eating the fifth bowl of rice and finally put down the chopsticks, Xiao Xia muttered a little puzzled when he cleaned up the chopsticks: "Looking at Xu Gongzi's thin and thin appearance, the amount of food is not small......

Soon after dinner, there was a knock at the door, and after a while, Yi, who was dressed in a black suit, walked in with Xiao Xia with a package on his back, and said hello to Qi Yueru a little shyly, and then threw the package behind him to Xu Mingyuan.

Xu Mingyuan took a look, and it was a black power suit, which looked like it should be the same as the one on Yi's body.

"I may have to do a lot of things tonight, and this dress on your body is not very convenient, so I asked the old blind man to get you a set, you can see if it fits." Seeing that Xu Mingyuan was a little confused, Yi explained.

Xu Mingyuan nodded, what is a simple matter of collecting debts, not to mention going to places such as gambling houses and Qinglou, which are all gold caves that eat people and do not spit out bones, how can there be any good people behind them.

If there is no accident tonight, a few battles are indispensable, and I am afraid that this is also the test and tempering of Chen Qiao to Xu Mingyuan. (To be continued.) )
