Chapter 138: Winter Snow
"From a distance, it looks like it's the two of you, but it's really you."
Lu Yi and Zhao Lei were also dressed in plain clothes, and saluted the four princes and Liu Yan respectively.
"Don't be polite, it's cold outside, come into the store to warm up."
Lu Yi is okay, Zhao Lei's spirit is obviously not very good, his two eyes look like he has cried, if Lu Yi hadn't reminded him from time to time, he wouldn't have gotten lost.
Although the four princes and princesses are not the kind of arrogant and calculating people, Lu Yi still explained for Zhao Lei: "When Lord Li was alive, he once took care of him, not only spoke for him when the clansmen were fighting for property, but also gave him a painting score and a set of painting tools. ”
No wonder Zhao Lei looks so sad.
This matter may be just a gesture for Li Zongtao, but for Zhao Lei, who has received this kindness, it is a kindness that is difficult to repay.
However, this is also Zhao Lei's sincerity and loyalty. For someone who doesn't know how to be grateful, I'm afraid that I won't remember this kindness so firmly.
Most of the people who come to the door today to offer condolences and worship come out of utilitarianism, or because of favors. Zhao Lei is obviously not that kind of person, he is really sad about the death of an elder.
Outsiders may think that he is very ridiculous when they look at him, and those who have complicated thoughts about treating others with their own thoughts may think that Zhao Lei is acting coyly, and they may want to seek some benefits for the Li family.
The Four Princes didn't think so.
He felt that people like Zhao Lei were rare.
In this capital, in the circle where the four princes usually come and go, there are few people like Zhao Lei, who are not only unique, but also rare.
It's Liu Yan, look at Zhao Lei, and look at Lu Yi.
The things she and the little brother pay attention to are completely different, after all, it is a girl's family, although she usually doesn't pay attention to dressing, but she can still see that it doesn't fit well.
The plain clothes on the two of them didn't fit well, and it seemed that they had either borrowed other people's old clothes to cope with the scene, or they were bought ready-made from ready-to-wear shops on the street.
Liu Yan guessed that most of them were clothes from the second-hand clothes shop.
Zhao Lei's body is a little wide, he is thin, after this dress is tied, the ribs and hem look a little bloated, obviously not his own clothes. As for Lu Yi, his stature is taller than ordinary people, and the hem of the robe on his body is shorter, not to mention the top of his feet, even the boots are exposed.
Most of these two men don't have much money. Zhao Lei's family only has an old house, with little income, and life is tight, they knew about this last time they went. Lu Yike is the son of a general, and their family is not short of money at all.
Lu Yi has a very stiff relationship with his family, obviously he went back to the capital, but he didn't go back to live in his own house, he had to live with Zhao Lei, and he wouldn't go home to spend money.
Why did this man have such a stiff quarrel with his father? Father and son are not even as good as strangers, they are like enemies.
Liu Yan was very curious about this, and she wanted to ask Lu Yi when they went to Yilan Palace, but when it snowed, it was late, so she forgot about it.
I went back and asked the little brother about it, and he knew it for sure.
