Chapter 41: The Return

The weather in April is warm and comfortable, and the sky is high and cloudy.

Driving out of the north gate, the road is lined with green trees, and the new leaves are swaying in the wind.

Ye Chutang put down the curtain and looked at Xiao Wu in his arms again, seeing that she finally fell asleep peacefully, his heart was a little peaceful.

Since that accident that year, Xiao Wu has been very afraid of getting close to the carriage, and every time he stays in the carriage, he will be very nervous.

But she has always been sensible, even if she is afraid in her heart, she tries her best to overcome it, and strives not to let herself become the one who drags behind.

Ye Chutang hugged her and coaxed her for a while, and then she fell asleep quietly, half of her little face buried in Ye Chutang's arms, a fleshy little hand was still unconsciously holding Ye Chutang's clothes, even if it was in a dream, she didn't want to be separated from her.

Ye Jingyan took one last look at the city gate that was gradually moving away, and muttered, "Let's leave like this......"

He had thought that they would stay here forever and live out their lives in peace and tranquility.

Unexpectedly, three years passed in the blink of an eye, and they actually embarked on the road back to Beijing again.

Ye Chutang helped Xiao Wu tuck his collar and said with a faint smile: "From here to the capital, it takes about twenty days, if you want to go back in the future, you can go back at any time." ”

Ye Jingyan shook his head.

"I just want to be with you, Sister."

What he is nostalgic for is not Gangneung, but the time spent with Sister Ah and them in the past three years.

He knew that once he returned to Beijing, this peace would be broken.

Probably to take care of Xiao Wu, their speed on the way was not very fast, Ye Jingyan and Ye Yunfeng, the two brothers, took turns driving, stopping and stopping, and went all the way north along the road.

Ye Chutang occasionally enjoys the scenery on the road, and pulls them to watch it together by the way.

After all, when they were mixed with the displaced people and fled south, they didn't have the leisure to do so.

In this way, the journey that would have taken them only twenty days took them a month.

At the beginning of May, they finally arrived in the capital.

"Sister, it's here!"

Ye Yunfeng's voice couldn't hide his excitement.

Ye Chutang opened the curtain and glanced out.

The huge city stands in the distance, thick and majestic.

There is almost no change from what I remember, so much so that one wonders if the intervening three years really existed.

Xiao Wu also opened his eyes and looked ahead, his big black grape-like eyes full of curiosity.

When she left, she was still an infant and had no impression of the capital.

Compared with Sister A and her two brothers, it was almost the first time she had officially seen what the capital was like.

The fourth brother has mentioned to her more than once, saying that there are many people in the capital, and the pastries are also very delicious, and they are very lively!

Thinking of this, Xiao Wu's stomach "gurgled".

She suddenly became shy and covered her little belly in embarrassment.

Ye Chutang smiled: "Hungry? ”

Xiao Wu shook his head, nodded again, and finally threw himself on her shoulder and buried her neck to be coquettish.

Ye Chutang rubbed her little head, and then said to Ye Yunfeng: "You're going to enter the city soon, Ah Feng, even if you're hungry, can't you hold on for a while?" ”

Ye Yunfeng who smashed the top of his head with a black pot: "......"

He looked back with a look of grievance, and just wanted to defend himself, but he endured it again.

Never mind!

My sister and sister, what can I do besides getting used to it?

He rolled his eyes, came to an idea, and smiled: "Sister, it's been a month's journey, let's go have a good meal?" ”

Where could Ye Chutang not guess his thoughts: "Say, which one do you want to eat?" ”

Ye Yunfeng immediately said: "Lanyue Tower!" ”

Lanyue Lou is one of the top restaurants in the capital, and the children of the powerful families basically enter and exit on weekdays, and the dishes are also a must.

Ye Yunfeng went to eat once when he was a child, and he has never forgotten it, and now that he is finally back, he naturally wants to go and have a good meal.

"Sister, you just say it's okay!" Ye Yunfeng asked cheekily.

Ye Chutang tilted his head and thought for a moment.

"Okay. That's - Lanyue Tower. ”

……

Walking through the heavily guarded city gate and passing through the flat and wide Suzaku Street, the carriage finally stopped in front of a magnificent restaurant.

The streets were bustling with people.

Ye Yunfeng looked up at the hanging golden plaque, and couldn't help but sigh: "Lanyue Tower is really still Lanyue Tower!" This is not much higher than that Cao Ji Restaurant! ”

It is true that only the capital can have such a restaurant.

Xiao Er in front of the door had noticed this carriage that looked ordinary or even too simple.

Those who come here are either rich or expensive, and they are basically regular customers, but this young man who drives a car is very eye-catching.

This is obviously not a servant of any family, but it can be said that it is the son of a certain family...... Judging from the clothes and shoes, it doesn't seem to be either.

It looks like it's from out of town.

Thinking about it like this, Xiao Er's attitude was obviously a little colder.

He looked Ye Yunfeng up and down, and glanced at the carriage a few more times, "Does the guest officer have a reservation?" If not, thenβ€”"

Suddenly, his voice paused.

A plain hand suddenly stretched out from the curtain, the jade fingers were slender, and the skin was like clotted fat.

With this hand alone, it is not difficult to imagine the posture of its master.

Then, a graceful figure stepped out of the car.

It was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman, dressed in a Hunan concubine-colored brocade skirt, her black hair was simply pulled up, and only a carnelian hairpin was swayed.

Her complexion is like frost and snow, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her black eyes are like stars, and her body seems to be shrouded in an invisible aura, separating her from her surroundings, and with an unconcealable attraction, people can't help but gaze on her.

The corners of her lips curled slightly, revealing a shallow smile, and her dark and warm eyes were pure and gentle.

"We didn't have a reservation, we just found a random spot on the first floor to eat."

The tone is calm and generous.

Xiao Er was stunned for a while, and it wasn't until he heard her words that he hurriedly came back to his senses: "Okay, good!" Guest、A few guest officers inside please! ”

Ye Yunfeng snorted, and immediately came to Ye Chutang's side, silently blocking in front of her.

Ye Chutang turned around, and Ye Jingyan was getting off the carriage with Xiao Wu in his arms.

"Let's go." The corners of Ye Chutang's lips curled, "Sister has a treat today, you can order whatever you want." ”

……

As soon as Ye Chutang and his party sat down on the first floor, they heard a commotion from upstairs.

"Hahaha! Brother Ye! I heard that my uncle is about to be promoted to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, congratulations! ”

Ye Chutang's heart moved, and when he raised his eyes, he saw about five or six teenagers coming down from the upstairs with their shoulders hooked.

The young man who was surrounded in the middle was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and his appearance was quite Sven, but his eyebrows and eyes were a little gloomy and floating, which made people uncomfortable to look at.

Hearing this, he snorted, a smug look flashed on his face, but he said, "It's not officially decided yet, don't talk nonsense." ”

A teenager next to him immediately said, "Why is it undecided?" I heard that many people in Beijing have already received the post of the banquet! By the way, I heard that this time, even the Dingbei Hou Mansion was invited? ”

Ye Chutang raised her eyebrows lightly.
