Chapter 384: Third Brother
"Your father is the younger brother of Jingyang Hou, and he is the same generation as my father, who asked you to call me uncle?"
Jiang Yunqi's expression and tone were very serious.
did not feel pity for the younger generation because of Wei Yan's "Uncle Jiang", but was a little annoyed.
Wei Yan didn't expect it to be self-defeating, and hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry, I don't think you're old, I just think that you shouldn't have been so rude to you a few days ago, you should be respectful, and ask the prince for forgiveness." ”
Wei Yan's expression revealed nervousness, the hand holding the silk handkerchief was slightly forced, and her knuckles were white.
Jiang Yunhua knew that she was soft for the young man named Zhou Jinchao, but her eyebrows and eyes were so similar to her face that he could see the shadow of Hua Rong from her all the time.
She is a regret he can't let go of in this life, and for the past sixteen years, he has been thinking about her day and night.
Now that such a living woman suddenly appeared in front of him, he could not be indifferent.
"I don't blame you, you don't have to be so afraid," Jiang Yunhua tried to make his tone sound gentle, "Although I am much older than you, you and I are the same generation, I am the third in the family, you can call me the third brother." ”
Wei Yan was stunned.
In the previous meetings, Jiang Yunhua looked quite fierce, which made people feel very unapproachable, but he was gentle when he said this.
Wei Yan couldn't help but think of Zhou Lan saying before that she looked like an old man, could it be that Jiang Yunqi also recognized that old man?
If so, can you use the light of the old man to ask for a favor for Zhou Jinchao?
Wei Yan had a small abacus in her heart, pretending to be reserved and thinking about it, and then called obediently: "Third brother." ”
The girl's voice was soft but smart, more like a flower.
Jiang Yunhua's throat rolled, took out a wooden box and handed it to Wei Yan: "This is a birthday gift for you." ”..
In the past few days, he asked Suifeng to send someone to check Wei Yan's past, and when he heard that she was born on the day Hua Rong died, he felt more and more that there was some kind of secret connection between her and Hua Rong.
Wei Yan was also surprised that Jiang Yunhua would check her birthday, and prepared a birthday gift for herself.
"My birthday this year has passed, so I won't spend money on the third brother."
"It's not called breaking the fee for you, since you call me the third brother, I will have someone prepare a birthday gift for you every year in the future."
Jiang Yunhua said and opened the box, which was not filled with jewelry such as bracelets and bracelets, but a golden longevity lock.
Wei Yan was always sick when she was young, and she had several such long-life locks.
But this is usually given to children, and she is seventeen years old this year.
Although Wei Yan felt strange, she still accepted the longevity lock and said softly: "Thank you, third brother." ”
was stopped by the Mu brothers, and everyone didn't make a fuss for too long before returning to the banquet.
Wei Yan searched in the crowd several times but didn't see Jiang Yunfei, so she couldn't help but be a little worried, and she ate absent-mindedly when she ate.
After the banquet, Wei Yan and Mrs. Wei left together.
The carriage was blocked for some reason, and the chatter of passers-by came in.
“…… I heard that the fire burned so hard that it hasn't been extinguished yet. ”
"Yes, the little boy was really unlucky that week, he was finally admitted to Lushan College, and he had to make money on his own, but things were burned, I heard that he rushed in directly in order to put out the fire, and I don't know if he will be burned to death."
The words "Zhou Xiaogongzi" attracted Wei Yan's attention, coupled with the sighs of everyone, Wei Yan suddenly panicked, and she hurriedly asked Qiulan to get out of the car and ask.
"Miss, I asked clearly, Zhou Gongzi hoarded a batch of wood and bamboo, and sold some to the Qing Officials Si Xiu School a few days ago, I don't know why today, the place where the wood was hoarded suddenly caught fire, and the government has sent someone to put out the fire."
What about Zhou Jinchao? Did he go to put out the fire?
Will he rush into the fire and not be able to get out of the fire, as those people just said?
This speculation made Wei Yan's heart ache, and she said anxiously: "I'm going to find him!" ”
"Miss, the government has already sent someone, Gongzi Zhou will be fine, if you don't go now, Madame will not agree......"
"I must see him!"
Wei Yan reiterated that she didn't give Qiulan a chance to speak, and directly ordered the coachman to change the route.
The place where the timber was stored was on the outskirts of the city, and the carriage had walked several miles out of the city before a courtyard emitting black smoke came into view.
Wei Yan was worried all the way, and as soon as the carriage stopped, she jumped out of the car with her skirt.
The courtyard in front of me was burned to the ground, and although the fire was extinguished, you could still feel the scorching heat when you got closer.
Wei Yan looked and looked in the crowd, but still didn't find Jiang Yunfei, as far as the eye could see, there was only a scorched black.
My heart hurts more and more.
At this time, there was another discussion.
"Who is that girl? Looking at the dress, it should be an official lady, shouldn't she be here to find Zhou Gongzi? ”
"Then I'm afraid she's going to be sad, I saw Zhou Gongzi break into the sea of fire with my own eyes, such a big fire, Zhou Gongzi must have been buried in the sea of fire."
No way!
He said that he wanted to get fame to marry her, and said that he would always accompany her, how could he die like this?
Wei Yan's eyes were red with anger, and she was about to rush in to check the situation, when a voice suddenly came from her ear: "Why did you come here?" ”
Turning around, the young man stood in front of her with a dirty body.
He did enter the fire, and his clothes and hair showed signs of being burned by the fire, which was a little funny compared to his previous calm and calm.
The anxious heart finally landed, Wei Yan couldn't control it, and rushed up to hug Jiang Yunfei.
Tears rolled down, and Wei Yan cried: "Zhou Jinchao, you scared me to death, they all said that you were burned to death!" ”
Before Jiang Yunfei said that if she died, he would be martyred, Wei Yan didn't believe that he was very affectionate to him, and today when she heard that he might be buried in the fire, Wei Yan suddenly discovered that she didn't know why she loved him so much that she couldn't extricate herself, and she would have the idea of going with him.
Wei Yan cried very sadly, Jiang Yunfei couldn't care about the eyes of others, patted her back and comforted her: "I'm fine, those people are talking nonsense, don't be sad." ”
When he rushed into the fire, he was sure to retreat, but he didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, and he didn't expect to scare Wei Yan like this.
It took a while for Wei Yan's emotions to calm down.
Coming back to reason, thinking that she hugged Jiang Yunfei in front of so many people, and cried so much, Wei Yan was very embarrassed.
She was embarrassed to look at Jiang Yunfei's eyes, lowered her eyes and saw that half of his sleeves were burned off, and whispered: "The clothes are burned like this and can't be worn, let's go to the ready-to-wear store and buy a few new ones in a while." ”
"Okay."
Jiang Yunfei responded, Wei Yan was silent for a while, mustered up the courage to raise her head, looked at Jiang Yunfei and said, "Don't do such a dangerous thing in the future, okay?" ”
She had just cried, and her eyes were so red that she still had palpitations.
Jiang Yunfei agreed without hesitation: "Okay." ”
