"Cousin, this is my friend, his name is Lin Pu."

The man turned his head and looked at him casually, but after his gaze fell on him, he did not look away for a long time.

Lin Piao was a little uncomfortable being stared at by him for so long, and quipped, "What's wrong?" Could it be that we are fated to look at me familiarly? ”

"It's fate."

Tang Bai sat down in front of his cousin, and Yin Lin Piao sat beside him: "It's good to have eyes, that is, you can be friends." ”

Tang Bai introduced: "My cousin, Mu Sui, count it Brother Lin, you and my cousin are about the same age, you two should just call your name." ”

Tang Bai enthusiastically helped the two of them get closer.

Lin Piao was surprised when he heard his name: "Your surname is Mu?" This surname is rare, I once had a person I knew who was also surnamed Mu, and he was also in business, are you one? It's still just the door. ”

Mu Sui asked, "What is the name of the person you know?" ”

"His name is Mu Yu, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and I don't know how he's doing lately, do you know him?"

Mu Sui looked at him quietly for a while, then raised his hand and took off his mask and placed it on the table.

Lin Piao's eyes widened, damn! It's Mu Yu!

This is Mu Yu Benyu!

Mu Yu's impression of what he looked like was even earlier, several years had passed, and he had now become a mature young man, but he could still recognize him from his facial features and contours, after all, there were not many people in this world who had such a face.

Xianbei bones, Daning's skin, high nose and deep eyes, and soft facial features are unforgettable faces.

Mu Yu took off his mask because Lin Piao said, I don't know how he is doing, he knows that Lin Piao knows that he is not dead.

He also misses his old man, and for him, those friends in the past are all alive in the best and happiest memories of his life, carrying a lot of nostalgia and unwillingness in his heart.

Tang Bai was also dumbfounded: "Brother Lin, did you know each other before?" ”

His cousin changed his name after the accident, and the person who could call his cousin's real name definitely had a lot to do with his cousin.

"Knew each other before." Lin Piao looked at Mu Yu and was a little excited: "It's really been a long time, I always wanted to know what your situation is, but Shen Hong is a cautious person, he never mentions it, and I don't want to ask. ”

Mu Yu looked at him and saw that the look of surprise on his face did not look fake, and his originally cold expression also brought out a little smile: "Sister-in-law Lao remembers, I am fine with everything." ”

Tang Bai was very relieved to listen to the conversation between the two, well, wait, wait, something is wrong.

What did my cousin call Brother Lin just now?

Tang Bai opened his mouth wide, even more shocked than hearing Brother Lin directly call out his cousin's name.

His eldest brother Lin has become sister-in-law Lin?!!

Lin Piao saw the living Mu Yu, and said a lot to him with some excitement, and did not forget to praise him for doing well in business now, with vision, and people also look mature and stable.

"Shen Hong is also here, I'll call him over to see you later, and they will meet too."

Mu Yu said with a smile: "I have already made an appointment with Shen Hong, and he will come over in a while." ”

"What?"

Lin Piao thought to himself, this kid is hiding it from himself, it turns out that Mu Yu is also included in the three friends.

Mu Yu saw Lin Piao's reaction and knew that Shen Hong probably didn't tell him, but after all, he had to meet, and there was nothing to hide, so he entertained Lin Piao.

"Has my sister-in-law eaten, I'll ask someone to bring some more snacks to eat."

"I've eaten, you don't have to worry about me, tell me what happened to you during this time."

Mu Yu still asked for two new plates of dim sum and put them in front of Lin Piao, and then sorted out the parts that he was willing to tell Lin Piao, including that he followed his mother to live in the Western Regions for a while, and then figured it out and returned to Daning, his father did not blame him, but prepared a new identity for him, so that he once again had a legitimate identity in the Mu family.

"Your father treats you so well, parents love their son, and they are always thoughtful."

Mu Yu nodded lightly, did not deny it, and did not say anything.

The young man sitting opposite laughed sarcastically, and Lin Piao looked over and saw that he was wandering, with his hands behind him, and he looked up at them slightly, and his clothes had been completely spread out, revealing his sturdy torso.

He laughed again and again, as if he had heard some funny story, Mu Yu glanced at him and coldly called his name: "Tuoba Hong." ”

The young man known as Tuoba Hong smiled, looked at Lin Piao lazily, and stretched out his finger to Mu Yu: "Don't you think it's strange, why did his mother take him to the Western Regions, and why did he go back to the Central Plains." Because his mother died, he had no qualifications to stay in the Western Regions, so he could only return to Daning and the Mu family, and his father felt guilty and accepted him again. ”

"Tuobahong!" Mu Yu shouted angrily.

Lin Piao was frightened and shrunk, one by his anger, and the other by the truth behind this seemingly warm story.

Mu Yu suppressed her anger and looked at Lin Piao: "Sister-in-law forgive your sins." ”

Lin Piao looked at him: "It's okay, it's okay, you young people just get along normally, I'll just come and sit down." ”

Lin Piao said that it was fine, but at this moment, he clearly felt that Mu Yu had changed, he was no longer the arrogant and red tape nobleman in the past, the young man who was polite to him and led the horse for him but had an estranged attitude.

Perhaps because of his business experience, he had the same anger and indifference and roughness as the barbarians of the Western Regions, but when he saw the old man, he would still show the same set of rules as before, and even if he was so angry, he would still say to him that his sister-in-law forgave his sins.

It seems that he is still the same young man who did nothing more than he did back then.

Or he thinks that Lin Piao has always regarded him as the Mu Yu of the past, and he is also trying to pretend to be the Mu Yu of the past.

Lin Piao didn't think deeply, just lowered his head to eat the pastry and drank two sips of tea: "I'll go back first." ”

"Sister-in-law will sit down again."

"No, you said that Shen Hong was going to come over later, he didn't know that I was making friends outside, and it wouldn't be good to bump into him later, don't tell him I've been here later, I have to go back quickly."

Lin Piao got up and patted him lightly on the shoulder, the elders were generally friendly and a little perverse: "When I have time, I will go to play with you again, you should stay in Beijing for a while, right?" ”

"They should all be in Beijing by the end of next month."

"That's good, we'll see each other more often." Lin Piao took the unfinished half of the snack in his hand and walked out of the room while eating.

Back in his room, Lin Piao sat on the soft couch and sighed.

The years are merciless.

If you don't advance against the current, you will retreat, everyone is trying to live, and he can still seize the opportunity to be lazy, what is not satisfied.

Lin Piao felt that when he went back tonight, he could think about doing business in Shangjing.

Lin Piao waited for a while, eating dried fruits and watching the wonderful performance downstairs, Shen Hong still did not come back, and after a while, there was a knock on the door, and Lin Piaoyang asked, "Who?" ”

It is definitely not Shen Hong who will knock on the door.

Lin ...... It's me, Tang Bai. He wanted to call Brother Lin outside the door, but he couldn't do it for a while.

Lin Piao walked over and opened the door: "What's wrong?" ”

"My cousin said that Shen Hong was gone, and he saw another person who invited him to drink, and he should not be able to come back for a while.

Lin Piao hesitated for a moment, thinking of the embarrassing scene just now.

Tang Bai added: "Tuoba Hong is not here, you just have to come." ”

Lin Piao nodded: "Okay." ”

As long as the people who will expose the truth are not there, they are all people who can pretend that nothing happened, and there is no doubt about this.

Chapter 132

Lin Piao followed Tang Bai out of the room, and Tang Bai led him back to their room, where the table had been cleaned up, only a few plates of freshly served pastries and side dishes, and a used wine glass was placed opposite Mu Yu.

Lin Piao walked in, and Mu Yu turned his head to look over: "Shen Hong just left, I think my sister-in-law is bored waiting alone, so it's better to come over and talk." ”

Lin Piao nodded, seeing that the young man named Tuoba Hong was indeed not in the house, without the young man from the Western Regions, the overall atmosphere was a lot more relaxed, Lin Piao sat down opposite Mu Yu, just sat in the position before Shen Hong, picked up the wine glass and sniffed.

Mu Yu glanced at him with some surprise, and then explained, "It's not spirits. ”

Shen Hong has grown up a lot, but in his memory, Shen Hong is still the boy in the Deer Cave Academy, and Shen Hong is the youngest among him and Han Xiu.

"This wine is very fragrant." Lin Piao sniffed again, it was the taste of wine: "Wine, but why is there still a little rose aroma?" ”

"Sister-in-law can smell it? Add some roses stuffed, people in Beijing like elegance, with a wisp of rose fragrance can sell at a price. ”

Lin Piao nodded, thinking that it was not a selling price, but a sky-high price, he looked at Mu Yu's way of doing business now, all of them were supposing money from death, all of them were luxury goods among luxury goods, the price was ridiculously high, and the gimmicks were ridiculously big.

Mu Yu glanced at Tang Bai, and Tang Bai came up, took a new cup, and poured him half a glass of wine: "You taste it, but although this wine is soft, it has great stamina, so if you can't drink wine, drink less." ”

Lin Piao nodded, put down the cup left by Shen Hong in his hand, picked up the half glass of wine, took a sip gently, and then wrinkled his face a little.

Although it is not as bitter as liquor, it still does not taste good, but it smells very fragrant, and the aroma of wine mixed with the aroma of roses is very attractive, but when you drink it, you will not feel any aroma, only the stimulation of wine.

Lin Piao swallowed reluctantly, felt it for a while, and his eyes lit up: "It's delicious, there is a faint aroma in the mouth when the aftertaste comes up, and that aroma goes up, and it feels very fragrant." ”

Lin Piao experienced the joy of drinking for the first time, and although he didn't know whether drinking was a wine or an aftertaste, at least he liked the aftertaste, and there was a feeling that the aroma was going up and smoking into his brain.

Lin Piao took another sip and savored the feeling.

"It's good that my sister-in-law likes it, but I haven't seen her for a long time, and my sister-in-law is still the same as before."

When he first met him in Ludong Academy, he only thought that Shen Hong, his sister-in-law, was born in the countryside, did not know etiquette, was straightforward, had no bad intentions, and was a person worth associating, but he did not expect that he had been doing business for so many years, from the county government all the way to Shangjing, and he was still of this temperament.

"Me? It's only been a few years, and if I'm going to get old, I'm not going to be doomed, I'm not too old, I'm not old, I'm not old, I'm not old, I'm not going to be the same as I used to be. ”

Mu Yu nodded: "Sister-in-law is right, how has the business been over the years?" It should be very prosperous. ”

"I used to do business in the county government, and then I stayed in the state capital for a while, and then I opened a small restaurant in the state capital, and I just spent my days as a gangster and made some money to get by."

Lin Piao did not mention Shen Hong and Han Xiu at all, and even bypassed the imperial examination, only talking about his own business, the things he encountered in the county government, the things he encountered in the state capital, all kinds of twists and turns, and some interesting things about the daily life of the restaurant.

Mu Yu listened to him, drinking slowly one by one, and from time to time he said a sentence to talk about his own opinions and ideas, after all, he is also in business, although he is not mainly engaged in restaurants, but these things are all connected, and his family also has a restaurant in the ancestral home, and he can also say a few words and tell interesting stories about the restaurant.

Lin Piao laughed when he heard this: "It turns out that when you do a restaurant, you will encounter such a thing, I still think we are unlucky, it seems that as long as we open the door to welcome customers, it is inevitable that we will be unlucky after a long time." ”

Tang Bai watched from the side, Lin Piao slowly sipped half a glass of wine, and now he only took off the small half, his face did not change, Tang Bai added wine to him again, this time he filled it up, since he likes to drink, naturally there is no reason to give half a cup and half a cup, and he looks stingy.

Mu Yu had already drunk several glasses, Tang Bai continued to pour wine, wanting to persuade him not to drink, but he didn't dare to speak, he had always been in awe of his cousin, especially after the accident, he felt even more as if his cousin was not from the same world as him, and what his cousin did was not something he could intervene about.

Like his cousin, his mother was of a different race, and his mother was related to Mu Yu's mother, but he was not half as smart as his cousin.

He poured his wine and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Cousin, drink less." ”

He didn't drink less at the wine table just now, he went to see Han Xiu and drank a few more glasses, Shen Hong came over and drank a few more glasses, and now he continues to drink, and he can't help but drink this wheel war, but his cousin is still very calm and calm.

Mu Yu drank half a cup: "It's okay." ”

Mu Yu was thoughtful, and there were few topics to talk about, so Lin Piao could only keep talking about his own affairs.

"Now in Shangjing, I have been idle for a while, and now I am a little idle, thinking about opening a small restaurant in Beijing, whether it is to make some expenses or to have a good meal for my family, this restaurant is worth opening, you may not have eaten the food of Tongxi Lou for a long time, if I open it, you must come."
