"You... You..."

The neighbor's aunt looked at Yu Yuanqiao in disbelief: "You... Who are you? Although it was still in a questioning tone, her voice was quiet, and her intuition told her that this was someone she could not afford to offend.

Yu Yuanqiao looked at her with a cold face, trying to suppress his anger, where he couldn't see, was his sister bullied by this kind of person?

"White Jane. Let them go. Rubbing his eyebrows, Yu Yuanqiao stopped looking at them, and only glanced at Qiaozhi before entering the house.

This means that she also has the past... Qiaozhi scratched his head, whispered to Bai Jian, told him not to embarrass his former neighbor, and followed Yu Yuanqiao's ass in, Yunzhi shook his head, and stayed outside to preside over the overall situation for Qiaozhi.

However, after such a fuss from the neighbor's aunt, everyone was in no mood to continue to stay, and they were originally in the excitement and left with satisfaction after hearing the gossip, and the remaining people who were interested in the buffet asked about the price and the specific time and left.

In just a short period of time, the people are basically gone. Only the children were still around Yun Zhi.

"Sister," said the tallest child, "just... Sister shopkeeper is okay..."

"Well, it's fine." Hearing the novel title of 'shopkeeper sister', Yun Zhi was stunned for a moment before she reacted, this is her sister again, "You don't have to worry." How's it going, are you going to come over at night? Or do you want to come in and play for a while? ”

Yun Zhi likes children very much, she has been married for a few years, I don't know if it's because her temperament is too out-of-the-box or because she gets along too little, until now she hasn't conceived a son and a half daughter, but she is not in a hurry, pregnancy and childbirth can't be forced, after all, I still have to talk about a fate.

"Thank you, sister." The group of children politely thanked each other, their eyes shining brightly, "We... Let's come back in the evening, and we have to discuss it with my parents. ”

"Okay." Yun Zhi pinched the face of the youngest child again, and said with a smile, "Then you go back quickly, remember to come over at night." ”

Seeing the children laughing and playing away, Yun Zhi sighed and turned back to Yuelai Restaurant.

At this time, Yu Yuanqiao and Qiaozhi were engaged in the most severe interrogation.

Previously, when Qiaozhi confessed to Yu Yuanqiao, she only talked in detail about her and Shi Yao's affairs and the doubts she thought in the whole thing, as for being bullied by the neighbor's aunt, she didn't mention half a word. After all, with the original owner's understanding of Yu Yuanqiao, he would definitely be furious when he heard that his favorite little sister was actually bullied by outsiders to that extent.

Yu Yuanqiao has an official position, and with a single finger, he can overwhelm the flat-headed people. She has always been in a state of getting by, always feeling that things are in the past, and she is not sad and lost to the point of using 'family resources' for the sake of the past.

Even on that day, she went back to get the silver two to redeem the inkstone, and was humiliated and insulted by this neighbor, although she was very angry at the time, she hated to cut this aunt with a thousand knives, hated to use the convenience of Yufu, and humiliated her good neighbor in the past, and even her family letter had been written, and she listed her series of crimes in a sprinkled and euphemistic manner, but in the end, even though she had walked to the door of the post station, she still did not send the letter.

The strength she relied on was just the 'giveaway' that Yu Fu brought to her, and it was because of Yu Fu's strength that she dared to write a letter back and threaten to take revenge when she was bullied, but everything depends on being strong, relying on the so-called 'law of the jungle', is this really right?

She is strong because of Yufu, but what about the others? She has no way to guarantee that Yu Mansion will always be strong, after all, the emperor is already very dissatisfied with Yu Mansion and Daddy, if there is really one day, Yu Mansion is no longer so strong, what will she do? Do you have to willingly accept the trampling of others who are stronger than her?

It was for this reason that she finally kept the letter full of accusations and put it into the deepest layer.

And this letter is now caught by Yu Yuanqiao. Qiaozhi sat far, far away from Yuyuan Bridge, trying to shrink her neck to reduce her sense of existence, and then prayed that her eldest brother's breathing was getting thicker and thicker just because of a cold or other reasons, in short, not because of reading the family letter...

Yun Zhi was angry when he saw her shrunken-necked quail appearance, and slapped her on the top of the head without thinking about it: "How old is you, why do you still look so timid?" How? Scared silly by a folk woman? You're just riding on top of you by a woman? Didn't I say you, Yu Qiaozhi, in order to marry Shi Yao before, that sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed person, how could you be dumb when you met this kind of wreck? ”

Qiaozhi silently covered her slapping skull, and silently warned herself that silence was golden.

Here, no matter how much Yun Zhi stimulated Qiao Zhi, she just kept her mouth shut and didn't speak, like a seal. Seeing that his sister really couldn't ask anything, Yun Zhi shook his head helplessly, and came to the side of his eldest brother Yu Yuanqiao to read the letter.

When Yun Zhi first came in, she saw Yu Yuanqiao and read the letter again, and now she has been gagging with her little sister for so long, and the eldest brother, who is known as one glance and ten lines, has not finished reading it...

Yu Yuanqiao exhaled, handed the thin two-page paper to Yun Zhi, and said tiredly: "Look for yourself, this is what Qiao Zhi wanted to send us before." ”

Looking at this letter, Yun Zhi's delicate eyebrows gradually wrinkled, "This... This... It's just..."

"It's too much of a deception, isn't it?" Qiaozhi got up with a wry smile, "I know you're angry and sad for me, but, big brother, sister. Isn't it a bit of a bully to take revenge now? ”

"Nonsense." Yu Yuanqiao said coldly, "Why didn't you send this letter in the first place!" If we had known that you were living this life in Yanling... Why don't we wait until now! ”

Qiaozhi cautiously followed Mao: "I know that my eldest brother has loved me since I was a child, and I can't see that I have been wronged." Actually, when it first happened, I did think about asking you for your support, otherwise I wouldn't have written such a letter. It's just that... When I was about to go to the post station to send you a letter, a question suddenly occurred to me. ”

"I write to my family because I know that my family is strong and can help me settle them. But what if we're like these people? So who am I going to find to help me settle my predicament? ”

“... ...”

Seeing that Yu Yuanqiao's expression was somewhat relaxed, Qiao Zhi continued: "I still remember the unfinished decree that the emperor gave to our family and my father... Our family has been watched by the emperor, big brother..... Although I opened a restaurant, I actually always remember what my sister said to me, I don't want my father to be sent so far away because of my own affairs, and I can't even take my life into my own hands. ”

Yu Yuanqiao looked at the little sister who kept talking, and for the first time felt that the little sister seemed to be different, in her memory she was still a small and soft group, and she was very obedient on weekdays, just like a soft little rabbit, but such a little rabbit dared to elope with a poor scholar to Yanling, even if she didn't have a good time in the end, she didn't go back, but gritted her teeth and endured the ridicule of her neighbors and continued to live.

It's different, right? He thought, this difference does not just come from the age of the little sister, but... Maybe it's from the experience of the little sister, she is the youngest in the family, she has been spoiled and innocent for more than ten years, but in the past year she has learned to grow, learn to live, and learn... Everything she shouldn't know.

Yu Yuanqiao suddenly didn't dare to look at Qiaozhi anymore, he lowered his head, and was silent for a long time before he said, "Qiaozhi, I understand what you mean." It's just that... I'm sorry for you. ”

Yunzhi on the side also understood the meaning of Qiaozhi's words and hugged her gently.

It turned out that where she couldn't see, her weak sister lived like this... Actually, she should have thought of it a long time ago... When she first brought her sister home, she reacted to herself and her mother... And that cry .. She... If she could have asked at the time, instead of simply attributing Xiaomei's low mood to the death of her brother-in-law Shi Yao...

"Sister?" Feeling the wetness of her shoulders, Qiaozhi's eyes widened in surprise, and she was at a loss, "Sister... You... Don't cry... I'm fine, I'm really fine! I'm now... Forgetful, plus I opened a restaurant, there are too many things to be busy with every day, and this little thing has long been left behind by me, sister... Don't be sad for me... By the way, is the milk ready for the evening? ”

When are you still thinking about milk... Being interrupted by her like this, Yun Zhi's mood was a little better, so he wiped his tears and glanced at her angrily: "I have already prepared enough." Two large buckets full of them are placed in the yard. But what kind of milk tea do you make, do you use so much? ”

"It's not just for milk tea." Qiaozhi smiled and shook her head, "I have a killer trick that I haven't used, sister, big brother, you just wait for the night!" After speaking, Qiaozhi rubbed her hands and went to the back kitchen to discuss the dishes with Chef Fang.

Time flies and gets closer and closer to the agreed buffet time. The original layout of the hall was completely disrupted, and several tables were put together in a row, covered with a plain layer of linen. A variety of dishes were placed on the long table, and juices and milk tea were divided into a small area.

... ...

This ancient buffet has gradually become what Qiao Zhi thinks.

With the arrival of the first wave of guests, Yuelai Inn tried for the first time. It's time to kick off the prelude!

A steady stream of guests were attracted by the long tables that greeted them, and they walked in to experience this novel 'banquet'.

Qiaozhi, together with Qingyue Qiuyue and Xiuzhu, stood at the door, greeting every guest who came in with a smile, and a few Xiaoer and Runtang also ran around, leading the guests to their suitable seats.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, the room is staggered, and the laughter is endless... It was already completely dark, and a man in a cloak quietly watched the laughter and laughter in the room, as if he had seen everything, and as if he had seen nothing.

A gust of wind blew, blowing up the huge white robe he had gathered around his body, revealing the clothes underneath the robe—it was a dark blue official mansion, judging by the color alone, the man's official position was not great, but his face hidden under the cloak was deep and cold.

He looked at Qiaozhi and yawned when he covered his mouth, stretched his waist again, his eyes became gentle again, and he silently looked at the situation in the room for a while, and then turned around and left silently.

... ...

It wasn't until the end of the buffet and the beginning of the inventory that Qiaozhi understood the true meaning of the phrase "the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny"...
