Chapter 57: Coincidence
The teahouse was noisy, and the smell of tobacco was in the air. Feeling a little choked, Yi Qi Wanxi covered her mouth and nose slightly, lowered her head and coughed lightly.
Fortunately, a few people were in the private room upstairs, otherwise Yi Qi Wanxi would definitely not be able to stay.
Yi Qi Wanxi didn't know how to play cards, so she sat next to Li and watched. It's just that it's really easy to get sleepy in the afternoon, and Yi Qi Wanxi yawned a few times in succession. The voice was so soft and the movements were so small that the wives who were focused on playing cards did not notice.
After a few turns, Li Shi turned to look at Yi Qi Wanxi, who looked tired, and said with a smile: "Third Miss, how many games will you play for me?" ”
"But I won't." Yi Qi raised her eyes to look at her.
"Hey, it's okay." Li Shi said, then got up to give up his seat for Yi Qi Wanxi, and said, "It's very simple, I'll teach you." ”
Yi Qi Wanxi was reluctant, but when she saw that Li got up and let herself, she couldn't refuse, so she took a seat.
Although Li said that it was very simple, Yi Qi Wanxi did not agree.
Perhaps, I am not suitable for playing cards. Yi Qi Wanxi thought so.
Although in the first game, under the guidance of Li, Yi Qiwan was confused, but she didn't understand the play, and she didn't understand the fun.
"Wanxi is very talented." Mrs. Nie looked at her with a smile.
"No, coincidence." Yi Qi replied gently.
While talking, several people shuffled their cards again.
After an afternoon, although Yi Qi Wanxi was not proficient, she understood something. However, she still didn't understand the fun, and only thought that the time was good.
The sun was gradually slanting, and after glancing at the time, several people discussed going home after the game.
On the way back to Yiqi's mansion by rickshaw, Yiqi Wanxi saw that Li was in a good mood, so she asked her with a light smile: "Does Erniang often make appointments with those wives?" ”
"After all, I'm bored in the house alone." Li said, straightening up, and said, "You have to have fun." ”
"That's right." Yi Qi thought about it and spoke.
Previously, Yi Qiwanxi hadn't paid much attention to her aunt, but she just felt that like her, she must be chic and happy. I never thought about how the women in Yiqi's mansion could be chic and happy.
returned to Yiqi Mansion, got out of the car to settle the bill, and the two planned to go to the house. Just as he was about to start, he heard Yi Qi Mancao's smiling voice: "Third sister, second mother." ”
When the two of them heard the sound, they both turned around and looked at Yi Qi Mancao. But what I saw was not just Yiqi vine grass.
Yi Qi Wanxi was a little apprehensive in her heart, glanced at the person in black beside Yi Qi Mancao, and then returned her gaze to Yi Qi Mancao, who was approaching her and the Li family.
"Fourth Miss." Li Shi smiled and called out to Yi Qi Mancao, and then looked at the person behind her, "Master Si." ”
Si Yu smiled lightly at the two and nodded in response: "Second wife." ”
Seeing that his gaze moved to herself, Yi Qi Wanxi lowered her head slightly, without squeaking. Yi Qi lowered her head, but Si Yu didn't call her, but only looked at her with deep eyes.
"Why did the young master come here?" Li raised his hand and made an inviting gesture, his voice always smiling, "Sit in the room?" ”
"Nope." Si Yu's tone was flat but polite, "I just heard that Fourth Miss said that Wanxi is back, so I'll come over and take a look." ”
Hearing this, Yi Qi raised her eyes to look at the Yi Qi vine grass in front of her, and got a simple and bright smile from her. Although Yi Qi responded with a shallow smile, she was faintly gloomy in her heart.
"Ahh Li smiled knowingly, glanced at Yi Qi Wanxi, and then looked at Si Yu, his voice was still smiling, "It turns out that I came to find the third miss, so I won't bother." ”
Seeing that Si Yu nodded lightly, Li Shi turned around and entered the house.
After the Li family entered, Yi Qi Wanxi raised his eyes to look at Si Yu: "The young marshal is looking for me, but what's the matter?" ”
"Nothing." Si Yu's tone was soft, like a breeze blowing, gently tugging at the heartstrings, "Just to see you." ”
"Thank you, young marshal." Yi Qi smiled lightly, lowered her head slightly, and didn't say anything more.
Si Yu looked at Yi Qi Wanxi, who had a faint smile, and thought of some things when he was in Nanjing, and his heart suddenly felt a little painful.
"Since you see me, if it's okay, please go back." Yi Qi Wanxi still had a light smile on her face, and her gaze at Si Yu was also very calm. But only she knew that her hands that were slightly tucked into her sleeves were already trembling slightly.
Yi Qi Wanxi was restraining her emotions and suppressing her tears, so she wanted Si Yu to leave quickly.
"So you want me to go?" Si Yuben's indifferent face had a little more smile, and seeing that Yi Qiwanxi's gaze was a little evasive, he chuckled, "Seeing that you're okay, I'm relieved." ”
Yi Qi Wanxi didn't dare to look at him, but lowered her eyes and thanked him: "Thank you for your concern." ”
"Since you want me to go." Si Yu sighed lightly, "Then I'll go back." ”
Hearing this, Yi Qi Wanxi's heart suddenly felt a trace of reluctance, and the hands in front of each other couldn't help but clench tighter.
She didn't want him to go, she came back for him.
But she didn't say this to him, but lowered her eyes.
"Farewell, Miss Four." Si Yu said to Yi Qi beside him.
"Huh?" Yi Qi Mancao felt a little sudden, looked up at Si Yu, frowned slightly and asked him, "Are you going back so soon?" ”
"Hmm." Si Yu smiled lightly, then turned around and got into the car and left.
Looking at the tail of the car that was gradually moving away, Yi Qi Mancao sighed lightly, and said to himself with some puzzlement: "Obviously I came to see the third sister, why did I go back." ”
"You told him?" Yi Qi raised her eyes to look at Yi Qi vine grass, and her tone was calm.
Hearing this, Yi Qi Mancao turned around and looked at Yi Qi Wanxi, with a bright smile and a cheerful tone: "That's right." ”
"Why did you tell him?" Although Yi Qi Wanxi was inexplicably unhappy in her heart, her face was also peaceful.
"Huh?" Yi Qi Mancao blinked at her, her eyes clear. After a moment, he asked, "He's worried about you." ”
"Did you go to him, or did he go to you?" Yi Qi suppressed the displeasure in her heart, making herself look still peaceful. Yi Qi Wanxi didn't want her sister to feel that she was angry with her because of Si Yu.
"Hmm......" Yi Qi Mancao thought for a moment, and his smile was still the same, "I just happened to meet it." ”
Hearing this, Yi Qi glanced at her calmly, although she didn't believe it in her heart, she didn't say anything.
By coincidence? How can there be so many coincidences.
"Miss Three, Miss Four." When Yi Qi was suspicious, Aunt Ji walked out of the door, approached the two, and saluted the two, with a respectful tone, "The meal is ready." ”
"Uh-huh." Yi Qi Mancao replied with a smile, looked at Yi Qi Wanxi again, and reached out to hold her hand, "Third sister, eat." ”
Because her hands trembled slightly, she was afraid of being discovered by Yi Qi Mancao, so Yi Qi Wanxi dodged back slightly when Yi Qi Mancao reached out to lead her.
After grabbing the air, Yi Qi Mancao was stunned, and frowned slightly to look at Yi Qi Wanxi.
Yi Qi Wanxi saw Yi Qi Mancao looking at her, afraid that she would think too much, so she smiled at her.
Seeing this, although Yi Qi Mancao was a little puzzled in his heart, he only smiled back in the end. After that, the two went to the house side by side.
Aunt Ji followed behind the two, looking at the two who were a little strange, although she was puzzled, she didn't dare to ask anything. After all, the master's affairs have nothing to do with her, and she shouldn't ask about it.
At dinner, Yi Qi Mingzhi and others were talking about a new corner in a pear orchard, which was very popular, so they discussed having dinner and going to the play. Yi Qi Wanxi thought about Si Yu in her heart, and didn't pay attention to everyone's conversation, nor did she notice that the soup spoon in her hand was tilted a little bit.
When the soup spilled on Yi Qiwanxi's clothes, she came back to her senses. He put down the soup spoon in his hand and hurriedly took a handkerchief from his coat pocket to wipe it. Seeing this, the maid next to her hurriedly stepped forward to help her wipe it.
Yi Qi Mingzhi's voice was full of worry: "Wanxi? Is it hot? ”
"No, Daddy." Yi Qi looked up at him and smiled indifferently.
"What is the third sister thinking, I can't keep my soul." It was Yiqi vine grass who asked.
Yi Qi looked at Yi Qi Wancao smoothly, and saw that she frowned slightly and looked worried, so she smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing." ”
"The third sister doesn't look like she's fine." Yi Qi Mancao's tone was still worried, but it didn't make Yi Qi Wanxi feel moved.
While speaking, the maidservant had dried the soup on Yi Qiwanxi's clothes, got up, took a handkerchief and bent down and retreated.
Yi Qi Wanxi was thinking about how to answer Yi Qi Mancao's words when she heard Li's voice: "Probably tired." It's all my fault, I shouldn't have dragged the third lady to accompany me all day. ”
Hearing this, Yi Qi Mingzhi was slightly angry, and said, "You know that the third lady is weak and still pulls her to accompany you?" ”
Hearing this, Li felt a burst of grievance in his heart, but he smiled calmly, opened his mouth slightly and wanted to say something, but Wang, who had not spoken out of silence next to him, opened his mouth first: "Master, my sister took Wanxi out of kindness." I'm happy, it's reasonable to be a little negligent for a while, don't be angry with my sister. ”
Hearing this, Yi Qi Mingzhi's tightly knit eyebrows relaxed slightly, and said to Yi Qi Wanxi: "In this case, then when you are full, you will go back to your room to rest, and you will not go with us." ”
"Okay, Daddy." Yi Qi replied with a smile, then lowered his eyes, picked up the bowl and picked up the chopsticks.
"Shall I accompany the third lady in the house?" Li Shi looked at Yi Qi Mingzhi and asked him tentatively.
Yi Qi Mingzhi looked at her deeply, was silent for half a second, nodded, but did not speak.
Yi Qi Mingzhi knew that the Li family said that accompanying Yi Qi Wanxi in the mansion was just a pretense. In a place like Liyuan, I'm afraid that the Li family doesn't want to go anymore. Yi Qi Mingzhi knew the reason, so naturally he didn't debunk it, only her.
"Thank you, sir." Li said with a smile, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile.
It was a place she loved, but it became a place she didn't want to set foot again. This is all the credit of the people in front of you.
After the meal, Yi Qi Mingzhi Wang and Yi Qi Mancao went out of the house to watch the play, and the Li family sent Yi Qi Wanxi back to her pavilion.
The sky was slightly dark, and the evening wind was cool. The two walked side by side on the bluestone road, and the maidservant girl followed behind the two, keeping a short distance from them.
The air was quiet, and Yi Qi Wanxi broke the silence first: "Why don't Er Niang go and take a look at that corner?" ”
Hearing this, Li Shi chuckled indifferently, his tone was a little self-deprecating, and said, "What is there to see, it's just a play." ”
When Li said this, Yi Qiwanxi's heart sank for a moment, and she turned her head slightly to look at Li.
The evening breeze slightly blew Lee's neat and shiny hair, but her beautiful eyes seemed to carry a little sadness. Yi Qi suddenly felt that Li was talking about herself.
