Chapter 27: Tracing the Roots (1)
"What else can I do? Zhuangzi shop is almost lost, what can be used to revitalize the family? "Master Hou is very melancholy.
Ye Chengxuan clenched his fists, and his eyes flashed with a light of refusal to admit defeat.
"Daddy, don't worry, my son will definitely work hard. My son doesn't believe it, and our Jinyang Marquis Mansion has fallen like this? ”
Hou Ye Wen didn't speak, he was silent, the room was silent, and the air seemed dull and full of desolation.
At this moment, the courtyard of the third lady Ye Jingjing is a different situation. In the courtyard, all kinds of autumn chrysanthemums are blooming, and from time to time birds stop on the flowers and chirp.
There are two tall locust trees in the yard, and there is a wooden swing on the locust tree, and the swing waits there quietly, as if waiting for the arrival of its owner.
The whole courtyard is full of life, and although it is autumn, it is as bright as spring.
On the lintel of the front door of the courtyard hangs a plaque, on which are written three elegant characters "Han Shiyuan".
The origin of the name of Han Shiyuan also has an allusion.
Li Zheng, a famous doctor in the former dynasty, was known as Li Hanshi. Ye Jingjing named her yard Han Shiyuan, which is also because she is on par with famous doctors. In fact, although Ye Jingjing's achievements are not as good as Li Hanshi's, they are not much worse. Because, Li Hanshi was in his forties when he became famous, but Ye Jingjing was still a young girl.
At this time, Ye Jingjing had just taken a hot bath, changed into clean clothes and was practicing calligraphy under the window, when Bai Zhi, a personal girl, came in to say goodbye.
"Miss, Boss Wu is back."
"Boss Wu?" Ye Jingjing's hand holding the pen paused. Wuhai? What is he here for?
"Let him in!"
"Yes!"
As soon as Bai Zhi's voice fell, suddenly an old but playful voice came from the roof. "Hee-hee, Jingjing girl, the old man is also ...... here"
Ye Jingjing looked up and was happy: "Wu Daxia, you are a hero, how can you climb so high?" Don't care about a little image? ”
The man on the roof smiled, and fell lightly, right in front of Ye Jingjing.
I saw that he was short, thin, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were shining. It looks like he's in his forties and fifties.
"I wanted to come yesterday, but I suddenly met a few brothers, and I was happy for a while, and I went to the tavern for a few drinks, so I ......"
Ye Jingjing pursed her lips and smiled: "Just your greed, why don't you let your brothers come to Jirentang?" I can ask them for a drink. ”
Wu Haixi said: "Really? ”
"Nature is true, when did I tell a lie?"
Wu Hai didn't raise his eyebrows, just wanted to say something, but suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help sighing: "Alas, they will not want to come." ”
"Why? Isn't my wine as delicious as the tavern? I don't believe that. ”
"It's not this ......" Wuhai scratched his head and smiled. It's possible that they're shy, and if there's a girl together, they're not so happy to drink. ”
Ye Jingjing was stunned for a moment, and then "fluttered" and laughed: "Boss Wu, you really know how to laugh, I don't believe it." They are all people from the rivers and lakes, where are they so restrained? ”
Wu Hai smiled and didn't say much. Ye Jingjing didn't ask anymore, because he knew that Wuhai's background was complicated and he was a person with secrets.
It turns out that this Wuhai is not from the Hou Mansion, and he and Ye Jingqing are not masters and servants, they are more like friends.
Wu Hai is actually a person from the rivers and lakes, his martial arts are so high and unfathomable, and his origin is also very complicated, and no one knows his specific life experience.
Half a year ago, when Ye Jingjing returned late, she met Wuhai, who was seriously injured, in a small alley, so she took him to Jirentang for treatment.
After recovering from the injury, Wu Hai, who knew how to repay his kindness, vowed to repay his kindness, so he stayed in Ye Jingjing from time to time, hoping to help her when there was any difficulty.
Wuhai's personality is free and easy, and Ye Jingjing's temperament is not restrained, and the two have become friends for the year.
Ye Jingjing pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay, Wu Daxia, then tell me, where are you from today?" Why do you suddenly remember that I'm here? ”
Wu Hai jumped on the chair, sat down cross-legged, and smiled: "Guess? ”
"Blind, how can I guess?"
Poplar smiled meaningfully, grabbed the grapes on the table and put them in his mouth.
"Hmm, it's so sweet!"
After eating more than a dozen grapes in succession, he smiled and said, "Let me tell you, I went to Peach Blossom Town yesterday because I was bored, but I unexpectedly saw two people." ”
"Peach Blossom Town?" Ye Jingjing's heart moved, and she looked at him with a pair of wonderful eyes. "Who do you see?"
Wu Hai smiled and scratched two names on the table with his fingers.
Ye Jingjing's face changed slightly: "Them? What are they doing in Peach Blossom Village? ”
Wu Haidao: "I also think this is very strange, Taohuazhuang is not close, and that place is poor and bad, what's so fun?" ”
Ye Jingjing stood up, slowly walked to the window, and said to herself: "Could it be that they went to see what other use value Peach Blossom Village has?" After all, all they have left now is Peach Blossom Village. ”
Wuhai shrugged his shoulders, did not answer, and continued to eat grapes.
Ye Jingjing suddenly turned around: "Boss Wu, do you know what they did there?" ”
Ye Jingjing suddenly spoke, Wu Hai was startled, a grape stuck in his throat choked his neck, and it took him a long time to swallow it, he rubbed his neck and tilted his head to think about it.
"I don't think I've done anything big, so I'll just walk around and have fun, pick wild fruits in the mountains and see the scenery or something......"
"That's it?"
Ye Jingjing doesn't believe it, she is a businessman, and her brain naturally thinks longer than ordinary people. Those two people traveled a long way to see the scenery and eat wild fruits? This doesn't work. Especially Ye Mengmeng, this woman has completely changed since she came back, and she doesn't believe that she is interested in the poor mountains and bad waters of Taohuazhuang.
Wu Hai suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, that girl disappeared later......"
"Missing?" Ye Jingjing's heart was shocked. "What's going on? Did you find it? Boss Wu, tell me carefully, this matter is very important to me. ”
Although Wuhai is older than Ye Jingjing, he has a free and easy temperament, and the two get along like friends. Therefore, Ye Jingjing called her by her name, and Wuhai didn't feel anything wrong.
"Oh, that's right, the girl got into a cave and disappeared. All the men in the Zhuangzi went out to look for her, and after searching for nearly two and a half hours, the girl came back by herself. ”
"You're back? So where the hell did she go?"
"It's not very clear about this, I heard that I fell into the hot spring pool in the cave and almost drowned......"
