Chapter 18: Hidden Worries (II)
The Yin family in the Holy City is a very famous family, a long time ago, there was even an elder in this family, and the history is long enough and the heritage is enough, so it is not too much to say that it is a famous family. It is precisely because of this that Yin He can play with the hottest Ji family girl in the Holy City today.
However, now that time has passed, the situation of the Yin family has long since lost the glory of the former heyday, and the family's reputation and prestige have weakened a lot, the only thing to be thankful for is that Yin Mingyang, the head of this generation, still has some ability, although he is not a genius like the Ji family, the Long family, the Xiahou family and other family owners, but he has also kept the family business, so that the family has maintained a medium level in many Holy City families, which is not bad.
The wheels were rolling, the sound of horses' hooves, and sitting in the carriage driven by the red bear, Yin He finally saw his home after three years of absence.
The Yin family's mansion is an old mansion, very old, the stone steps and gate in front of the door, the high walls and pillars on both sides, you can see some mottled traces of weather.
Some people may think that this is a dilapidated atmosphere, but in Yin He's view, there is a sense of intimacy that arises spontaneously from the bottom of his heart.
Since he was a child, he has been born, raised, played and lived in this house, and he is extremely familiar with every grass and tree here, and the mottled traces that have been handed down from ancient times to the present day seem to be engraved in his heart.
The carriage stopped in front of the gate, and Yin He jumped down, "snapped", and stood in front of the gate.
There were already porter servants next to him who saw the movement here, and hurriedly walked over, all with smiles on their faces, but for some reason, the smiles of those people seemed to be a little far-fetched, and there was a little more alienation in their politeness.
"Second Young Master, you're back. ”
Yin He looked at the person who was calling on the side, and recognized that it was a subordinate named Chen Qi, who had been working in the Yin family for more than ten years, and was regarded as an old man in the family.
He nodded to Chen Qi, and then walked inside, behind him, Red Bear drove the carriage aside without following Yin He through the gate.
Chen Qi followed Yin He's side one step behind, and said with a smiling face: "Second Young Master, the head of the family is waiting to see you in the front hall." ”
Yin He answered, walked forward, and then asked casually, "Is it just my father?"
Chen Qi was obviously suffocated, and after hesitating for a moment, he still said, "Madam and Little Master are also there." ”
As he spoke, he secretly raised his eyes to look at Yin He's face, only to see that Yin He's expression didn't seem to have changed much, and there was no angry look, and he couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
At this time, he suddenly heard Yin He suddenly ask again, "Chen Qi, what about my eldest brother, why didn't he come to see me?"
Chen Qi's body shook suddenly, and he almost stumbled and fell down with his steps, and finally stabilized his body, but the expression on his face was already extremely ugly, and his mouth was hesitant for a while, but he didn't know what to say.
Yin He stopped, glanced at him, and said, "What's the matter, are you dumb?
Chen Qi was extremely embarrassed, saying no, not saying no, for a while, his face was swollen and red.
Yin He turned around and saw a hall in front of him, which was the front hall that their house usually used to entertain foreign guests.
He suddenly sneered, and then ignored Chen Qi anymore, and walked towards the front hall with a step.
※※※
The front hall of the Yin family is a spacious and bright hall, with common furniture, tables and chairs, and at this moment on the main seat in the hall, Yin Mingyang, the current head of the family, is sitting there, and in the place where he is sitting is a beautiful and charming woman, who is his wife, to be exact, the step-room orchid.
Yin Mingyang is a dignified-looking man, although he now has gray hair and a trace of wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, it can still be seen from the contours of his face that he should have been a beautiful man when he was young.
In fact, his sons did inherit this advantage of his, when Yin He had not yet entered the inner ring of the land to temper, he and his eldest brother had wandered for a while in the noble circle of the family in the holy city, and even won the nickname of "Jade Prince", which shows that he was also a handsome man back then.
And the seven or eight-year-old child who was playing on the ground in front of the two of them at this moment was the third boy of the Yin family born to Yin Mingyang and Hu Ji, named Yin Hai. Although he is still young, Yin Hai's face is also a bit like Yin Mingyang.
At this moment, Yin Hai squatted on the ground and played a transparent glass bead game, several beautiful glass beads rolled around on the ground, hitting each other to make a crisp sound, and from time to time flashing with dazzling fantasy brilliance, making Yin Hai laugh happily from time to time.
In addition to this family of three, there were also a few servants standing around, and a young servant about fifteen or sixteen years old was also squatting on the ground, playing with Yin Hai, and from time to time laughing on the ground and popping out the glass beads and colliding with the beads in Yin Hai's hand, which made Yin Hai laugh.
Hu Ji looked at her son Yin Hai, her eyes were full of doting, it seemed that her heart was completely tied to this child, and after a while, she glanced back at Yin Mingyang, but saw that Yin Mingyang's face was a little solemn, his eyes were deep, and he seemed to be pondering something.
Hu Ji felt a little unhappy in her heart, but she didn't show it, stood up and walked to her husband's side, poured him a cup of tea, and then asked softly, "What do you want?"
Yin Mingyang glanced at her and said, "I should go over and take Yin He back today." I also had the opportunity to have a good chat with him along the way, maybe I can explain things to him clearly, and now I have listened to your words, and I am here to wait for him to come back, I am afraid that I will be a little embarrassed when we meet, and if he has some estrangement in his heart, it will not be good. ”
Hu Ji shook his head and said: "You can't say that, Yin Yang passed away half a year ago, husband, you were seriously ill, and you didn't recover until recently, but your body is still weak, and it's really not suitable to go out to see the wind." Besides, as the head of the family, you have a precious status, and how much burden do you have on your shoulders, how can you lose a big one because of a small one?"
Speaking of this, Hu Ji glanced at Yin Mingyang's face, and saw that he bowed slightly, and his face seemed to soften, so he said with a smile: "Also, after all, you are Yin He's father, and it is only natural to let the child come to see you." If it's just because of this, Yin He will feel disgusted, I will look down on him. ”
Yin Mingyang's eyes flashed slightly, and he glanced at Hu Ji, Hu Ji smiled silently, and after a while, Yin Mingyang nodded slowly.
On the ground in front of him, the child Yin Hai and his playmate were playing happily, and couldn't help shouting, Hu Ji turned around when he heard this, and first said to Yin Hai: "Xiaohai, the voice is quieter, your father is still here." ”
As he spoke, he said to the young servant next to him, "Xiaoshi, don't play so crazy with him. ”
The young servant named Xiao Shi hurriedly agreed, with a little smile on his face.
Just at this time, Yin Hai used his strength and popped out a glass bead over, Xiao Shi was talking to Hu Ji, he didn't notice, and suddenly slipped past his feet, but it was Gu Lulu who rolled all the way to the gate, and with a "snap" sound, he hit the threshold.
Yin Hai jumped up, first screamed, glared at Xiao Shi with some dissatisfaction, and then ran towards the door.
Xiao Shi was startled, and apologized repeatedly, and then chased after him to help the little young master pick up the little bead that slipped away.
The sunlight outside the house shone in, and the bright and shining light flickered on the glass beads, as if there was a rainbow of gorgeous colors. Yin Hai chased to the door, saw that the bead stopped at the threshold, and immediately grinned, so he walked quickly and squatted down to pick up the bead.
Who knew that at this time, suddenly a shadow suddenly appeared in the sunlight, making the surroundings dark, covering Yin Hai at the same time, one foot stepped in from outside the door, and just stepped on the top of the glass beads.
