Chapter 171 Chapter 164 Gathered
Xiao Ruo listened to Master Wu's words, and couldn't help but start to discuss in his heart: Face life? With a mask, even if the mask is ripe, you may not be able to recognize it!
"A friend." Xiao Ruo didn't say much, just smiled at Master Wu and said.
Master Wu didn't believe Xiao Ruo's words, and stared at Lan Yucheng repeatedly. He believes that the more people try to hide themselves, the more suspicious their actions become.
Just when Master Wu wanted to ask something, Xiao Ruo interrupted with a smile and said, "Haha, Xiao Ruo is so rude, I patronized and talked to you two, and I forgot to invite you to come in and sit, hurry, please come in!" As he spoke, Xiao Ruo gestured to the waiter standing next to him to welcome the guests, and no longer gave Master Wu any chance to speak, hugged the two of them, and entered the gate of Juxia Building with the flow of people.
Not long after Xiao Ruo left, two people unexpectedly appeared.
Li Yanxu looked at the plaque on the door of Juxia Building, and a complicated feeling suddenly surged in his heart.
β¦β¦
On that day, he was resting, and at lunchtime, he ate with Jiang Qinghua.
"Sir, ma'am, there's an invitation from the concierge." A mother-in-law who was waiting for Jiang Qinghua's side bowed her head and bent over, holding a bright red envelope mixed with glitter powder in both hands.
Li Yanxu put down the bamboo chopsticks in his hand and said, "Take them." With that, the woman walked quickly in a few steps and handed the invitation to Li Yanxu's hand.
Jiang Qinghua glanced at the post, and said with a smile: "Look, it's the invitation sent by Ju Xialou." β
Li Yanxu glanced at it, there was no mark on it, and he didn't know how Jiang Qinghua saw it, so he asked, "How does Madam know?" β
"Last time, the new owner of Ju Xia Lou also sent such an invitation, with black letters on a red background, and there were shiny things on it that I don't know what it was. It looks much more elegant than other invitations. That's why the concubine body is so memorable. Not only that, but it is better to smell it again and see if there is a faint dark fragrance on it? I remember the invitation of that day, and it smelled of roses! Jiang Qinghua said with a smile.
On weekdays, the two of them dine according to the rules of eating without saying a word, and there is nothing else on the table except for the occasional sound of chopsticks. Jiang Qinghua always felt that their way of getting along with each other did not have the feeling of happiness between husband and wife at all. But if it is said that it is not harmonious, but they have never quarreled, and they respect each other like guests. Perhaps, it's because it's because it's too respectful like "ice"!
Li Yanxu lowered his head and sniffed, there was indeed a fragrance of roses entering his nose, and there was also a fragrance of ink, the two were mixed together, but there was no feeling of anyone pressing anyone, fresh and elegant. Li Yanxu tore open the envelope outside, opened the invitation card inside, and swept away slowly from the first line.
The first word, dΓ©jΓ vu; The second word has met several times......
Li Yanxu's hand still trembled, he didn't know what was said on the invitation, and he didn't want to know anymore.
Li Yanxu grabbed Jiang Qinghua's hand and asked eagerly: "You said that the new owner of Ju Xialou has come to Fuzhong, but it is a woman about nineteen years old?" β
If she was really alive, she would be nineteen this year.
Jiang Qinghua was a little stunned by Li Yanxu's movements, and said in a daze: "It's a woman." I just heard from the people in Ju Xialou that he was already thirty years old. Jiang Qinghua was a little strange, what was written in the invitation made Li Yanxu look so abnormal.
"Thirty? How could it be thirty ......" Li Yanxu continued to look at the handwriting on the invitation and muttered to himself.
After Jiang Qinghua gradually recovered, I saw her smile and said: "It's true that she doesn't look like thirty at all, but it looks the same age as the concubine!" Thinking of that day, the introduction of the somewhat bewitching-looking man, Jiang Qinghua shook his head with a smile and smiled incredulously.
Suddenly, Jiang Qinghua remembered something and said, "Husband Jun has also seen the new owner of Ju Xia Building!" β
Jiang Qinghua's words immediately interrupted Li Yanxu's train of thought and asked, "When have I seen her?" β
"Don't you remember? It was the day when my husband returned from a year out of Kyoto, and on the way, he met a woman and let her get into a carriage. Jiang Qinghua said intentionally or unintentionally. She is not heartless, just a few words on the invitation card have already made Li Yanxu behave differently, and she also remembers what happened that day. connected, but Jiang Qinghua fell into speculation.
"It's her!" Li Yanxu suddenly had a confused look in his eyes.
has a completely different appearance, but unintentionally makes the same movements as her; Although the font has changed a lot, the former bone wind still exists. Who the hell is she? Really, is she back?
At that moment, Li Yanxu wanted to rush into Ju Xia Lou desperately and ask her if she was the one he remembered.
β¦β¦
"Husband, aren't you going in yet?" Jiang Qinghua looked at Li Yanxu, who was standing still, stepped forward, and said beside him.
Li Yanxu took a deep breath and walked towards the main entrance of Juxia Building. Whether it is or not, today, he must get an answer!
At this time, the Juxia Building, the grand occasion reached an unprecedented high point. Indeed, in this era, money, power is in the hands of men. The opening once a month makes this Juxia Building extraordinary, and it is a place that is more worthy of sprinkling gold.
"Governor Wang, I didn't expect you to come too......" Master Wu said with a salute to an official.
"What a coincidence...... Governor Wang arched his hand towards Grandpa Wu.
"Today, this Juxia Mansion has really attracted many officials and local gentlemen!" Master Wu looked at the crowd around him and said.
"Yes, it's not just you and me, when I entered the door just now, I even saw the son of Li Shangshufu. Look at the people, they have just come out after going out for a year, and they are not at home to accompany their wives, but they are both here. Sure enough, he is also a fellow practitioner who loves to be lively! Governor Wang said with emotion.
Master Wu asked in some surprise: "What you said, but what about Li Yanxu?" β
"Exactly, I haven't seen him for a year, and I want to have a good chat with him. But as soon as I saw him, I suddenly saw him shuttling through the crowd, and I didn't know what he was looking for. However, I can only blame the people of Ju Xia Lou today, there are too many......" Governor Wang said endlessly.
Master Wu and Mrs. Wu glanced at each other, and the meaning in their eyes was self-evident.
"Governor Wang, I won't disturb you and your wife to dine, I just saw a friend, I went over to chat for a while, and I lost my company." Master Wu said with a smile.
Saying that, Master Wu and Mrs. Wu walked towards the crowd, trying to find Li Yanxu's figure.
Since the coup d'Γ©tat five years ago, Li Yanxu has never said a word except for continuing to do what he should do in the DPRK and China, even if he was invited by his colleagues, and he has never paid for the appointment. It's just a lonely person who has only stayed at home. Today, he suddenly appeared here, and he had to make Master Wu and Mrs. Wu think of something.
Li Yanxu is indeed as Governor Wang said, wanting to find the woman who used to be in the carriage and had a relationship. Helplessly, if Xiaoruo is the host of Ju Xia Lou today, he naturally has to go around to greet the guests who come here. "I don't know if you've ever seen where the owner of your Ju Xia Mansion went?" Li Yanxu grabbed a busy male waiter and asked.
Coincidentally, the male waiter had just met Xiao Ruo, so he said with a smile: "If the son wants to find the owner, the villain can take you there." β
Li Yanxu nodded, turned around and instructed Jiang Qinghua: "I have something to do, you can find a place to eat, and I'll look for you later." After speaking, he pulled the male waiter away, ignoring Jiang Qinghua's feelings.
Jiang Qinghua had already begun to regret coming here today from the first second he stepped into this Juxia Building. She watched her father-in-law walk around the crowd just to find a strange woman. Hehe, then what is this wife of her? Now, after inquiring about the whereabouts of that person, she was still on the side, could she Jiang Qinghua not deserve his Li Yanxu's kindness like this? After five years of separation, he didn't let her live in his heart, but now he is so anxious about a woman he has only met once. This makes her feel embarrassed!
