Chapter 5: The Return of the Son (1)
Since the eve before, He Shiyi seems to have changed as a person. He was where Qing Qian was, and he didn't go to the military headquarters to work, but just silently accompanied Qing Qian. Run for the things that are strict and upright, and run for the things in the store. Qing Qian's words released outside Yan's house that day made the housekeepers and masters sweat. As expected, although there were many people who went to the account to withdraw money, the Yan family could still bear it.
It's just that now the store needs to be turned, and my father is also indispensable in Chengxi Prison.
The weather is getting colder day by day, and after dinner, He Shiyi was not around, so he asked Steward Li to bring the title deed of the Yan house. was discussing with Steward Li in the hall, and without saying a few words, the maid Xiaoxi ran in in a panic.
"No...... Oh no, miss...... There was a quarrel. Konishi was out of breath.
"What's the quarrel?" Qing Qian's face was forced to be calm, and the hand holding the account book was slightly forced, could it be that someone came to the door to make trouble?
"Major He and Wu ...... Sir. Xiaoxi looked at Qingqian with a serious face, and then realized that he was too flustered, and the voice behind him became lower and lower.
"Huh?" Qing Qian was slightly stunned, how could these two people quarrel.
"What kind of mission do you think about?" Across the corridor, Major He said something, and Xiaoxi didn't listen to it very much.
Qingqian walked through the corridor and saw He Shiyi and Wu Wu standing outside the backyard. It seemed to have calmed down, and the servants had left.
He Shiyi turned his back to Qing Qian, and was talking to Wu Wu, his tone was full of worry; "The Yan family is like this now, how can I leave now?"
Wu Wu was facing Qing Qian, although he was talking to He Shiyi. A pair of eyes looked at the shallow under the porch, as if they were also going to say it to the shallow.
"Why can't you leave, military affairs are military affairs. The commander is so important to you, you have always been self-denying, this time, do you want to disobey the military order for the sake of the Yan family......"
"I've got my own measure." He Shiyi's tone was a little anxious and impatient......
"Wu Wu is right, since it is a reason not to go to military affairs." Standing under the porch, Qing Shu interrupted the conversation between the two.
"Why are you here?" He Shiyi heard the voice and turned back suddenly.
Wu Wu heard the shallow words, his face was slightly hesitant, and he turned around and retreated.
"Since you know that I am worried that my family's affairs will affect you, you should go." There is a laurel tree in the backyard, and the flowering period is just right. Qingqian followed the corridor and slowly paced to the front of He Shiyi.
"Actually, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if I go or not." He Shiyi smiled faintly, as if he didn't care at all.
"That's why you should go." Qing Qian sighed, on the side of the military department, whether unintentionally or intentionally, at this time, He Wet clothes should not disobey the military order.
"Say it again! How's your talk with Steward Li? He Shiyi deliberately staggered the topic.
"You're still mad at me?" Qingqian looked at He Shiyi and was slightly moved. A few days ago, I really went too far. Aunt Bi's words、Father's sudden imprisonment。 It seems that everything happened unexpectedly before it had time to be straightened out. She was just innocent, wanting to push He Shiyi out of this situation that might be dangerous. However, she didn't ask what he thought about wetting.
"How so?" He wet clothes are still smiling like that, warm as the winter sun.
"Then you go, my father, me, and the Yan family will be fine." Qingqian looked at He Shiyi's smile, and suddenly felt at ease, this is the feeling he gave her when they first met.
"Okay."
Tomorrow, it is the day when He Shiyi sets off for Linjiang, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. Qingqian set up a banquet for him at the restaurant along the lake according to He Wet's arrangement.
The 'restaurant along the lake' is indeed well-deserved, built near the lake. The two-story wooden building is hidden on the shore of the lake, which is more and more exquisite and small, and has a special interest. It's strange to say, although it is upstairs and downstairs, but the upstairs is never open to the public. It is said that the upstairs has been bought by a powerful person, and occasionally people can be seen drinking alone upstairs. Naturally, the market is indispensable for good deeds, and such strange things naturally add a lot of mystery to this wine shop. The upstairs was empty, but the seats downstairs were empty.
This Yanhu restaurant was originally only born in making and selling wine, and the self-brewed 'Yanhu' is a very strong liquor, which is famous far and wide. In the past few years, he began to purchase exquisite wine and dishes and host wine banquets. Yan Yezheng likes this 'lake' wine very much, and on weekdays, he often asks the servants to buy it. Qingqian secretly drank once when he was sixteen years old, and then slept drunk for a day and a night, which made Master Yan afraid, and he no longer dared to put the wine at home at will.
The autumn breeze is bleak, standing by the window, the lake is calm and waveless, and the autumn colors of the distant mountains are particularly desolate in the faint autumn sun. The father frowned and scolded as if it was still close in front of him, but he couldn't touch it anymore.
"What are you looking at? It's so distracting. He Wetclothes had already approached at some point, with a warm smile on his face.
"Good-looking son." Qing Qian looked at the well-defined face and smiled shallowly. He has been trying his best to please himself these days, and he is not unconscious.
"Really? Let me see. He Shiyi poked his head over and looked at it seriously.
Warm breath, a faint smell of gunsmoke, close to the nose. Qing Qian suddenly felt slightly hot in his ears. The more embarrassed they became when they noticed that someone was looking at them. "Don't make a fuss, lie to you."
There was a man in uniform over there, grinning at He Yan and the others.
The two approached the table, and the man in uniform had already gotten up. The man was tall and burly, dark-skinned, and about forty years old. He Shiyi introduced to Qingqian, and it turned out to be He Shiyi's colleague in the army-Qin Yiqian. Qing Qian saw that although this Colonel Qin was dressed in a military uniform, he had a bit of a gangster, and his speech and demeanor were also very arrogant. took another look at He Shiyi, who was calm and introverted on his side, and really didn't expect that He Shiyi was going to entrust himself to the person in front of him.
"Hehe, two little babies, what were you messing up just now? For a brother, he is a person from the past. Qin Yiqian's voice was very loud, which immediately attracted the attention of other guests in the restaurant.
As soon as he sat down, Qin Yiqian shouted to drink "Yan Lake".
He Shiyi seemed to have long been accustomed to this colleague's temperament, looked at the menu calmly, asked about Qingqian's preferences, and ignored Qin Yiqian.
"Eh, stinky boy, why don't you ask me? You said you were in for a treat! Seeing that He Shiyi didn't mean to be courteous to him, Qin Yiqian specially accentuated the word "guest".
"There's a menu on the table, order it yourself." He didn't raise his head in wet clothes, and ordered food from the shopkeeper.
"Humph! Today, for the sake of your fiancée's presence, don't bother with your kid. Qin Yiqian looked at He Wet clothes with disdain. turned his face and talked to Qingqian, already full of smiles.
"Is Miss Yan really the fiancée in wet clothes? I went out some time ago, what kind of luck did this kid have to marry such a beautiful woman......" As soon as Qin Yiqian spoke, the gangsterism added a little cordial.
