Chapter 186: The tea is slightly cool

The New Year passed quickly, this New Year is actually no different from usual, although there is an extra eldest son Wei Qingxiao, but because of the previous illness did not get better, Wei Qingxiao has been recuperating and rarely goes out.

In addition, Ren Xiaoyun had a stroke, and his condition did not improve at all, which may be a different thing from usual, but few people have mentioned Ren Xiaoyun anymore.

Because of these reasons, many of the affairs of the village are still handled by Ye Jinyi and Ren Ziyu.

And about the fact that those older generations have long known the identity of Ye Jinyi and Wei Qing laughing that he wants to marry Ye Jinyi, it seems that the story has been turned over, and it has not been mentioned by Ren Xiaoju in this festive New Year, nor has it been mentioned by Shen Yuan, who already knows the inside story, and it has not been mentioned by Ye Jinyi and Wei Qingxiao again.

Everyone seemed to have lost their memory, about that unusual but ordinary day.

Everything went quite peacefully, except that one day near the Lantern Festival, a guest came to the sub-period.

Ye Jinyi didn't think that anyone would come to see her at these times, but when she walked into the courtyard gate and saw the thin and weak back under the plum tree and the pen pinned to the man's waist, she breathed a sigh of relief and walked over in a comfortable mood.

"Lu Nian, why are you here?"

It was indeed Lu Nian who was standing under the plum tree and pacing, he turned around when he heard Ye Jinyi's voice, and saw that Ye Jinyi was still the same as before, and he also smiled comfortably: "I just stopped by to take a walk, and I remembered that you were here." ”

Ye Jinyi turned his head sideways towards the gate of the courtyard and ordered, "Uncle De, help me make a pot of hot tea." ”

Uncle De, who was waiting at the gate of the courtyard, heard the words and hurriedly responded: "Master, wait a minute, I'll come." ”

Ye Jinyi looked up at the sky, then at Lu Nian's slightly thin clothes, and frowned: "It's cold, your body is not very good, pay attention." ”

With that, she hurried into the house, and when she came out again, she had an extra cloak with cotton wool on the inside. She handed the cloak to Lu Nian, and when she saw that Lu Nian had put it on, her brows loosened slightly.

Lu Nian tucked the cloak on his body before he said, "I heard that the Cliff Villa was on fire a few days ago, and I heard that Chu Zhongyue found Chu Xiufei's Mercyless Sword inside, and concluded that Chu Xiufei died in the fire, so I stopped by to take a look at you." ”

He sat down on the stone chair with a cushion on the side at the suggestion of Ye Jinyi, while carefully observing Ye Jinyi's reaction, he naturally understood that Ye Jinyi must have known about this matter a long time ago, but he still couldn't help but want to see what Ye Jinyi had to say about this matter.

After all, on that day, Chu Xiuping's friendship with Ye Jinyi was clearly seen by him.

Ye Jinyi took the teacup from Uncle De who came in, carefully poured a cup of tea for Lu Nian, and then said seemingly casually: "Don't worry, Chu Xiuyi won't die so easily." ”

"How do you know?" Hearing this, Lu Nian shook his hand as he took the cup, and the hot water in it happened to be sprinkled on his fingers, but he still spoke without changing his face as if he didn't know the pain.

Ye Jinyi noticed this change, raised his hand and handed a handkerchief to Lu Nian, and then said with a faint smile: "I naturally have the truth I know, not to mention that I don't want you to be affected." ”

Lu Nian also hooked his lips slightly, and while carefully wiping the water stains on his fingers, he said lightly: "Also, you must know these things more clearly, but I am a little worried." ”

Ye Jinyi seemed to remember something, and suddenly raised her head and asked, "By the way, how is the senior of Laosheng?

When Lu Nian heard this, his eyes suddenly faded a lot, and the tone of his voice was also covered with a faint layer of loneliness: "Uncle Lao's health is getting worse and worse, and he has started coughing again recently, so I asked Rou Jia to stay in Lu Mansion to take care of him." ”

Hearing this, Ye Jinyi also lowered her eyes a little sadly, and began to be silent, precisely because she knew more things than Lu Nian, so she felt more and more sad for Lao Sheng.

Lu Nian saw that Ye Jinyi's face was sad, and was about to raise his hand and pat Ye Jinyi's shoulder to say a word of relief, but he heard a few light coughs from the courtyard gate, and followed the reputation, and saw a handsome man in a red robe standing at the door, although the man was pale and looked unenergetic, but he could still see his extraordinary temperament.

That kind of temperament is very familiar, but Lu Nian can't remember where he has seen it, he tilted his head slightly, and was about to ask Ye Jinyi who the man was, when he saw Ye Jinyi hurriedly get up and walk towards the man, and directly took off the cloak on his body and put it on the man himself.

But the man didn't seem to appreciate it, he always looked coldly at Lu Nian, who was sitting there quietly, and the hostility in his eyes was obvious.

Although Lu Nian is usually introverted, he is also a person who does not like to admit defeat and give in, he saw that Wei Qingxiao's attitude was not very friendly, so he stood up and nodded slightly towards Wei Qingxiao, which was regarded as a greeting.

Ye Jinyi had already walked back to the stone table with Wei Qingxiao, and when she saw Lu Nian standing, Ye Jinyi smiled slightly and introduced the two of them: "This is my father-in-law's son Ren Ziji, this is my friend Lu Nian." ”

Because he knew that Lu Nian was a person who didn't like to mention his family background, Ye Jinyi deliberately skipped it and only said a friend to mention it.

Wei Qing smiled and didn't have any curiosity about Lu Nian's identity, but when he came in, he saw Lu Nian's hand on Ye Jinyi's shoulder, and he knocked over the vinegar jar for a while, and even Ye Jinyi's words didn't match much, so he only nodded slightly, and sat down on the stone chair.

However, Lu Nian smiled and said, "It turns out that this is the righteous brother of Big Brother Ye, no wonder Big Brother Ye is so friendly to Ren Gongzi." ”

Wei Qing smiled and said: "We are righteous brothers, naturally brothers, friends and brothers, and even sleep together from time to time, the matter of the cloak is just a small matter that is not worth mentioning." ”

After that, he really saw Lu Nian's eyebrows frowning slightly, and after a while, he barely stretched it out again, he was secretly happy in his heart, but he was stomped hard by Ye Jinyi under the table.

Although Ye Jinyi felt that Wei Qing's smile was frivolous, so he stepped on him, he didn't refute what he said, just shook his head slightly, didn't answer a word, just looked at Lu Nian and continued with his previous words, and continued: "How to say, Uncle Lao is also old, he has given the Lu family all his life, and he is conscientious and loyal to the Lord, and now that he is old, with you or Roujia by his side to take care of him, I think his heart must be gratified." ”

"Don't worry, I will definitely take care of Uncle Lao. Lu Nian nodded, and asked seemingly casually, "I asked you to keep something before, I don't know if that thing is still proper?"

When Ye Jinyi heard this, he also replied casually as he looked careless: "Okay, don't worry, with me, nothing will happen to it." ”

"That's good. Lu Nian nodded with satisfaction.

"Hiss-" The two of them were talking, but they heard Wei Qingxiao hissing softly, and when they looked sideways, they saw that Wei Qingxiao had accidentally spilled the tea on his hand, and he was frowning.

Seeing this, Ye Jinyi subconsciously went to take the handkerchief, but remembered that the handkerchief had just been given to Lu Nian, so he directly used his sleeve to gently wipe off the water stains on Wei Qingxiao's hand, and gently helped Wei Qing smile by the way.

"Does it hurt?" she asked with a smile as she looked up at Wei Qing.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt much. ”

Seeing that the relationship between Ye Jinyi and Wei Qingxiao was not like a pair of brothers at all, Lu Nian subconsciously lowered his head and looked at his fingers that had just been burned red.

When he came, the water was freshly boiled, so it was naturally a little hot, but he was also worried about the night brocade, so he didn't say anything.

But this is exactly the first month, such a cold day, and after so long, the tea has already cooled, how can Wei Qingxiao burn his fingers.

Lu Nian naturally saw that Wei Qingxiao acted in this scene in order to attract Ye Jinyi's attention, but seeing Ye Jinyi's worried and anxious appearance, he didn't have the heart to go out and debunk it, so he slowly raised his hand and drank the tea in his cup.
