Chapter 130: Old Acquaintances
"Auntie, is Banxia back?" Cheng Ze saw Chen Jiahua as soon as he entered the courtyard and asked anxiously.
Today he heard the official at the city gate say that he saw the progress of Hua Banxia's carriage, and he went to Ye Mansion, but the people there said that he didn't see her, so he found Qiao's house.
He had already heard from his father that Ye Yun had returned to Beijing a few days ago, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back again. But he left, but he didn't take Hua Banxia away, could it be that they had already reconciled?
He had also looked for Hua Banxia before, but when Yunye just left, she refused all visits. When he went to Yefu again, he heard that she had gone to Lingnan, and he didn't see her, so he couldn't rest assured.
"I just came back this afternoon, and now I'm cooking dinner in the kitchen, has Cheng Gongzi eaten, stay and ...... together", before Chen Jiahua finished asking, Cheng Ze was already anxious to go to the kitchen.
Standing at the door of the kitchen, I saw Hua Banxia dressed in simple clothes, busy watching the fire, and busy stir-frying, her forehead was full of fine sweat, and she lost weight......
Cheng Ze's Adam's apple moved, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Banxia, you're back......."
Hua Banxia didn't pay attention to anyone at the door when she was cooking, and only turned her head to look when she heard the voice, and her face was a little dark, which also made her not see the distress on his face.
"Why are you here, on purpose, I know I'm cooking", Hua Banxia couldn't help but tease when she saw her old friend, she hadn't forgotten how much Cheng Ze used to like to rub their family food.
Hua Banxia looked like there was nothing wrong, her attention was on the food in the pot, and he was relieved to see that she was fine, "Yes, I'm here to eat again."
"I know, go sit for a while, and it will be fine immediately", Hua Banxia didn't have time to greet him, so let's cook first.
But Cheng Ze didn't seem to want to leave, he just glanced at her, "Uncle said that you only came back this afternoon, why don't you rest more."
"It's okay, you don't want to eat the food I cooked", Hua Banxia deliberately asked him, Cheng Ze quickly shook his head and explained, "I brought a friend back, and he promised to cook for him."
"Friends? Male and female! Cheng Ze seemed to be very interested in Hua Banxia's friendship, although he asked so, his intuition told him that this friend must be a man.
"Male", Hua Banxia generously admitted, well, she also found out that few of her friends seem to be girls, girls are too difficult to make friends, she doesn't have that time.
Cheng Ze got the answer, turned around and walked in the direction of the living room, he wanted to see which man who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and dared to approach Hua Banxia after eating a bear's heart leopard.
In the living room, Chen Jiahua was cleaning up Su Jinnian's room and asked him to look around for himself. As soon as Cheng Ze entered the house, he saw a man dressed very unsuitable for the atmosphere of the Qiao family, presumably he was a new friend who had spent half a summer.
"This ......", Cheng Ze had just opened his mouth to speak, Su Jinnian turned around, and saw that the person who came was actually an old acquaintance, Su Jinnian was very happy.
"Cheng Ze! How are you, how are you here? Su Jinnian looked at Cheng Ze in surprise.
Cheng Ze didn't expect that the person Hua Banxia brought back was actually Su Jinnian, and the two had known each other a few years ago. At that time, he had just learned to patrol the streets, but when he was young, he couldn't walk when he saw a good horse.
And Su Jinnian happened to have a lot of purebred horses in his hands, and the two have known each other since he stopped Su Jinnian's horse on the street.
"Jin Nian? You're the guest that Banxia brought back? Cheng Ze couldn't believe it, he originally wanted to warn people not to think crookedly about Hua Banxia, but now he forgot about it all of a sudden.
"You know the Flower Girl, too?" Su Jinnian heard Cheng Ze call Hua Banxia so affectionately, and he was still calling Hua Girl, and the whole person was not good.
Qiao Zheng and the others came back from outside, and saw Su Jinnian and Cheng Ze standing in the living room chatting, so they said hello to them, "Brother Cheng is here."
They had just come home in the afternoon, but it was time to release water in the pond, and the family had a lot of ducks, and the ducks were too big to feed, so everyone went out to get food for the ducks.
"You look familiar?" Su Jinnian was a little curious, how could Cheng Ze be so familiar with such a small villager, even if their family's conditions were okay, but Cheng Ze would not be there.
Qiao Zheng put down the hoe on his shoulder and sat in the corridor, "Yes, Brother Cheng used to run to our house a lot."
Cheng Ze glanced at Su Jinnian proudly, as if he was showing off to him, "I am friends with Banxia, and she has good skills, so I often come to her house to eat."
Su Jinnian had only eaten the wontons she made, but because of the sudden arrival of Yunye that day, he didn't pay attention to eating at all. So he couldn't remember how good her craft was.
But since he entered the door, everyone has mentioned that she is very good at her skills, intentionally or unintentionally, and it seems that he has a good mouth tonight.
At the dinner table, several people who had been hungry for a day naturally started eating, and only Su Jinnian kept watching them.
Hua Banxia raised her head from the table and saw that Su Jinnian was still stunned, thinking that she was doing something wrong, "What's wrong?" Can't get used to eating? ”
It shouldn't be, they have been eating and sleeping on the road for so many days, he has been eating very well, and he has never been picky, what's wrong today?
Everyone also raised their heads and looked at Su Jinnian nervously, knowing that he was the owner of the racecourse, thinking that he was used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and he was not used to eating these farmhouse meals all of a sudden, and felt a little guilty.
"No, I just think it feels good to eat together", Su Jinnian didn't expect that he would scare them, but he had never eaten at home with a woman except that he had no way outside.
Watching Chen Jiahua pick up vegetables for her son, even though her sons are so old, he is still very moved.
"Master Su, don't mind, we all eat together in small peasant households, there are no rules of big households, so you can laugh", this time it was Qiao San who opened his mouth to explain.
When he was in the Hua family before, he was not qualified to serve at the table, and the Hua family thought that it was a big family in the village, so he learned the rules of a big family and did not let the slave son-in-law serve at the table, so he also knew some things about the big family.
"It's okay, this feels better", as she said, Su Jinnian picked up her bowl and put it in her mouth.
Seeing this, Hua Banxia sandwiched a dish for him to comfort him. Cheng Ze didn't want Su Jinnian to think too much, so he also added a dish to him, "Eat it quickly, if you don't eat it again, it will be gone."
……
After eating, Hua Banxia took a shower and climbed to the second floor pavilion as usual, opened the window on the roof and lay on the sofa to dry his hair.
Cheng Ze also used the excuse of accompanying Su Jinnian tonight to forcibly go to Qiao's house. Since they are accompanying Su Jinnian, they should be chatting in the courtyard or other places now, why did they also appear in the pavilion!
"You want to use the attic?" Hua Banxia got up and sat on the sofa and said coolly. But there was certainly not something in her tone that they would give her if they wanted it!
Cheng Ze was also very helpless, he originally wanted to talk to Hua Banxia alone, but who knew that Su Jinnian couldn't get rid of it, so the two went to the pavilion together.
"What kind of attic do we two big men use, we are here to find you", Cheng Ze hurriedly stayed away from Su Jinnian, don't let her misunderstand the relationship between the two.
"What are you looking for me?"
"That...... It's ......" Cheng Ze didn't know how to speak, who let there be an uninteresting person next to him!
"You just say it, Jin Nian knows about my business", Hua Banxia saw Cheng Ze's worries, so he let him have something to say.
"Jin Nian ......" Cheng Ze immediately turned into a black line when he heard Hua Banxia call him so affectionately, "I heard that Ye Yun has returned to Beijing, ...... you Are you alright? ”
Ye Yun? It's her father-in-law! Returned to Beijing? Su Jinnian seemed to have heard something terrible, and pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
Hua Banxia was finally tired and didn't have the heart to think about him, but now that she was mentioned by Cheng Ze again, the relaxation on her face became a little unnatural.
"Well, he said that he had some official business to go back to deal with", Hua Banxia could only stick to the original excuse.
But Cheng Ze is not as easy to deceive as Chen Jiahua, Yun Ye is a messenger sent by the capital, he may go back at any time, and once he goes back, it means that there is no longer his business in the place where he is inspected, and he should go back to the original place to continue living.
But he went back, why didn't he take Hua Banxia with him and leave a courtyard for her alone, what does this mean?
"You're still here, aren't you...... And gone? Cheng Ze was unconsciously a little nervous, and his hand holding the sofa gradually clenched.
And although Su Jinnian didn't know what happened to them and what he didn't know, he also wanted to know if she was separated from each other.
and ...... Hearing this word, Hua Banxia's mind was full of pictures of him fighting to the death with her before leaving, maybe he was angry and corrupt, but she seemed to be ......
"No, it's still half a year away from our agreement", Hua Banxia returned to his previous appearance, pretending not to care.
When they proposed marriage, they agreed on three chapters, and Cheng Ze also knew about it, so it took Banxia to dare to say this.
"Promise? What conventions? Su Jinnian caught another keyword, combined with what she said when he first met Hua Banxia, he seemed to be able to guess something in his heart, but he still wanted to confirm it.
"It's nothing, it's none of your business", Cheng Zecai didn't tell him, judging from a man's understanding of men, Su Jinnian must also have other thoughts about Hua Banxia, and he wants to put an end to his thoughts!
The more Cheng Ze helped to cover up, the more sure Su Jinnian was of what he thought in his heart, and for some reason, there was a hint of excitement in his heart!
After Hua Banxia returned to the room, tears fell unconsciously, when she thought of him, she couldn't breathe, she had been in her heart, the position was getting bigger and bigger, more and more crowded.
What should she do? Does she want to go to him? If she finds him, what will she do? Looking for him to leave the book? Or do you beg him for forgiveness and come back to her?
