Chapter 35: Talks

Ming Yi followed the old man in, the sky was getting dark, but there was no light along the way, and he asked curiously: "What time is the palm lamp in the house?" ”

"Shaoyin's Mansion has never lit lights in unoccupied places, so there is less danger of walking into the water." The old man didn't look back, and his words were cold.

Ming Yi was so choked that she couldn't speak, this old man seemed to be used to being in charge of Shaoyin's Mansion, and he looked down on her. Knowing that the Feng family had just been on fire, he mentioned this stubble, without scruples, and said that the stinginess was so fresh and refined. It is estimated that he dislikes the reputation of Ming Niangzi, and feels that he has tarnished his family.

Ming Yi is not good at dealing with an old man, and his heart is upside down, if one day she becomes the wife of this Shaoyin Mansion, this old man who relies on the old and sells the old does not know how ugly his face is.

Thinking about it, she was much more balanced in her heart, and she had to keep her spirit to deal with Wu Shaoyin, who didn't know what to think.

After walking a few steps, he came to a room with a glimmering light, and the old man raised his hand to invite Ming Yi in, and then quietly closed the door.

It was supposed to be a study, unoccupied, with a low bookcase in the center, with two rattan cushions, two oil lamps on either side, and only one lit. There are four paintings hanging symmetrically on both sides, all of which are landscapes, and it seems that they are not the handiwork of famous artists. Behind the bookcase is a whole bookshelf, and there are quite a few books.

This is not afraid that the oil lamp will burn all the books, Ming Yi sneered in his heart, and held back the ridiculous idea of wanting to knock down the oil lamp. Hearing the creak of the door opening behind her, she couldn't help but be startled, as if she was afraid that her evil thoughts would be glimpsed.

"I'm tired of running for a trip, there are many people in Dongshi, so it's more convenient to come to me to talk to each other." Wu Qianping said that there was work, and his tone was full of reason.

When he approached and sat cross-legged in front of the bookcase, Ming Yi could see his face clearly through the dim light, and when he looked at it, the anger was also shallow.

He has loose hair, and only uses a hairband to loosely hold it behind his back, which makes his face even more delicate. Dressed in a moon white robe, handsome and free. It's just that when I raise my eyes, there is still a kind of cold air, and the warm light can't be melted.

Ming Yi learned that he sat cross-legged opposite him, and he always felt uncomfortable, so he moved twice, and it was slightly comfortable. I was afraid that I would leak my mouth, so I decided to strike first: "Brother Qianping, forgiveness, Mingyi suffered a catastrophe, his thinking was disordered, and he still can't remember many affairs, if there is anything abrupt, please understand." ”

Wu Qianping took out a set of tea sets from under the bookcase, and while putting the group tea into the stone mill and grinding it carefully, he lowered his head and spoke: "I have heard about this matter, and I have also sent someone to investigate, the fire started from the backyard Lingzun's room, it should be a fire on the oil lamp at night, and there is no suspicion." ”

Ming Yi thought that he would always be polite and explain that he had not come to pay respects, but seeing that he didn't mean this, his heart was even colder. After all, it is only an official and business relationship, and it should be without such a personal relationship.

"I don't know what happened to Brother Qianping's invitation this time?" In that case, she just talked about the matter.

Wu Qianping raised his eyes and glanced at him, and continued to grind: "Mingyi is really sick and has not recovered, why do you and I need to ask this in the past." It's just that there is nothing to do tonight, and I invite my confidant to taste tea and talk about it. ”

Bosom friend? I don't know if in ancient Chinese, this word is different in weight, or if this person is acting perversely. Ming Yi has no intention of delving into it, since he has accepted his amnesia, it is better to be more tentative, knowing oneself and knowing oneself is more real than verbal confidant.

"With such a beautiful day, Brother Qianping should have spent time with his confidantes, and he would not have lived up to the time when he talked with ignorant women and children like me?" Ming Yi asked, Fang understood her mind, she still minded Wu Qianping's position in her heart.

Wu Qianping was just about to speak, someone knocked on the door, and it was the old man who brought a copper kettle, put it on the table, and left quietly.

Wu Qianping poured hot water into the ground tea powder and gently circled it with a bamboo sieve, as if the tenderness of the whole body was poured into the tea soup.

"I don't like to drink, it hurts my body. The same goes for women. Wu Qianping's words were silent.

It turns out that she is not even a woman, Ming Yi secretly smiled bitterly, it seems that he really made a mistake.

Wu Qianping added: "I am willing to have a relationship with Mingyi, precisely because Mingyi is not an ordinary woman, she has both careful thinking and manliness." ”

Mingyi didn't have anything wrong with listening: "After all, it is better to have a sister-in-law to take care of your daily life." ”

"Mingyi has always advised me to marry a wife, if it is not in line with my heart, it is better to be alone. Two years ago, I divorced my wife, and you were the only one who supported it, why did you forget about it? Wu Qianping finally stopped his hand and looked directly at Mingyi, his eyes were deep and unfathomable, and Mingyi was uncomfortable.

Ming Yi squeezed out a smile: "Blame me for not healing my sanity, it's better for Brother Qianping to say more about the old things that you and I have intersected with, so as to help me recover as soon as possible." ”

Wu Qianping nodded: "That's fine." ”

It turned out that Wu Qianping married the daughter of the Zhongshu squire five years ago, and he was able to ascend to the position of this young Yin, and the squire also made a lot of efforts.

Wu Qianping is committed to his career, and the husband and wife were originally only united because of the words of the matchmaker, and they got together less and left more. His wife is resentful and often worried, and he is even more reluctant to face each other day by day.

In the past two years, that young lady Yin has an outside heart, and she has an unclean relationship with the little girl who feeds the horses in the house. was told by the housekeeper that Wu Qianping was originally emotionally weak, and with the persuasion of the waiter, he wanted to act as if it had never happened, but he didn't expect the lady to beg him to divorce his wife.

Wu Qianping didn't want this matter to be publicized, so he became a laughing stock and refused. Since then, the husband and wife have become more resentful, like enemies. Mingyi and his husband and wife were familiar with each other, so they often came to persuade them, and finally persuaded Wu Qianping to divorce his wife in the name of jealousy, and release them separately, which can be regarded as preserving the reputation of the two. The waiter knew that his daughter was at fault first, so he didn't care.

After listening to this, Ming Yi also deeply recognized the insight of the Ming lady: "Barely tied together, in the same bed and with different dreams, it is really better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes." ”

Wu Qianping added the tea soup to Mingyi: "I want to thank Mingyi for this matter, my brother is very comfortable now." ”

Ming Yi tasted it, full of grass and bitterness, and frowned: "Is there cow's milk in the house?" ”

Wu Qianping shook his head: "What's the use of coming?" ”

"Using milk together with tea soup can reduce astringency, make it smoother, and add honey better." Mingyi swallowed his saliva and began to miss the matcha drink at the bubble tea shop.

Wu Qianping said with a smile: "Tea is used to purify the heart, bitter and sweet, refreshing and cleansing, what is the meaning of adding those." ”

Ming Yi took this opportunity to return to the topic he was most interested in: "Brother Qianping wants to live so plainly? I see that the house is very crowded, and there is not much decoration. ”

"The old housekeeper in the house, two small servants to clean and one to clean the stables, it is enough. I don't like too many distractions such as irrelevant people. As for other things, they are all outside the body, and the simpler the better. Wu Qianping tasted the tea carefully, quite satisfied.

"In that case, where is Brother Qianping's money used?" Ming Yi finally asked, wanting to know the purpose of this iron rooster to collect money.
