The next day, Yun Menghan returned to the inn early, and after the other three people finished cleaning up, everyone went to the lotus dock where Zhou's house was located.

The lotus dock is located in the southeast of Hangzhou City, is a huge garden, just entered into it, thick green pervasive, not far from a few lotus ponds, full of tender pink lotus, the top of the head constantly hovering the sound of birds, Cui Lingsha suddenly exclaimed and jumped away, it turned out to be two little rabbits from her feet, everyone sighed that Hangzhou is so prosperous and bustling that there is a scenery like a mountain forest.

Immediately, Yun Menghan and the others followed Jiading for a long time, and finally came to the Zhou family's living room, where a middle-aged man sat with a ruddy complexion, angry eyes and sword eyebrows, and a beard covering half of his face, and his momentum was not angry and arrogant.

Yun Menghan stepped forward and bowed with his fists, and said loudly: "Chang'an Yun Menghan accompanied Ye Yuanqing, the son of the Ye family, and others to meet the Zhou seniors. Ye Yuanqing, who was behind him, also stepped forward and said, "Ye Yuanqing greets Senior Zhou. ”

The man in front of him was Zhou Kongqi, the current head of the Zhou family, after Yun Menghan finished speaking, he let out a hearty laugh, got up and walked to Ye Yuanqing, held his hand and said, "Ye Shi's nephew is polite, please take a seat." ”

After everyone sat down, Zhou Kongqi said with a smile: "My brother Hao is too inauthentic, I haven't come to see my old brother for a long time." Then he turned his head to look at Ye Yuanqing and said, "Seeing that Ye Shi's nephew is dignified and talks extraordinary, he must be no less inferior than my Tianhao brother, hahaha." ”

His words made Ye Yuanqing a little confused, as if they had known each other for a long time, and he didn't know anything about the Zhou family before, he looked at Yun Menghan suspiciously, and the latter smiled and said: "Old man Zhou, don't blame, my master is entangled in a lot of important things, he said that when he is done, he will come to visit the old man in person." ”

"Haha, it's okay, Zhou An, go, invite Miss over. Zhou Kongqi said to the family next to him.

"Yes, sir. After Zhou An finished speaking, he left the house.

"Hehe, Ye Gongzi, please wait a moment. Zhou Kongqi said with a smile: "Hey, Brother Yun, this little brother must be Lin Yuanqing, right?"

"Yes, Lin Yuanqing has seen Zhou seniors. Lin Yuanqing hurriedly got up and said.

"Hey, you're welcome to come to my Zhou family, what are you doing here at our Zhou family this time?"

"Yes, Zhou Fei... He died in the line of duty on a mission, and this time I came to give his parents his relics. Lin Yuanqing said with a gloomy expression.

"What?," Zhou Kongqi suddenly asked with a frown.

"He... Lin Yuanqing suddenly thought of what Qiu Mingyuan said before, Ou Suifeng has a lot of power behind him, if he tells the Zhou family, will there be anything wrong, but in his heart he still hopes that someone can punish Ou Suifeng, so after thinking for a while, he said: "It's the gods who catch the door, and Ou Suifeng does it." After finishing speaking, he stared at Zhou Kongqi's face tightly, observing his expression.

Zhou Kongqi heard that his face was shocked, he stayed for a moment, and then returned to his normal color and said: "Alas, although Zhou Fei's qualifications are poor, he has a funny personality, and he is down-to-earth and hardworking. After saying that, he couldn't stop sighing.

Lin Yuanqing just wanted to open his mouth to reveal Ou Suifeng's crimes one by one, when suddenly a gust of wind blew in the back of his head, he turned his head to look, only to see Yun Menghan gently shaking his head at him, Lin Yuanqing understood, and then bowed, put Zhou Fei's relics on the table and retreated to his seat.

After Zhou Kong ordered the family to take down the relics, he returned to his previous state, and said with a hearty smile: "Today, when the nephew comes to my Zhou family, the old man is very happy, and the rest of the matters will be talked about later." ”

Ye Yuanqing was completely confused, he thought that Yun Menghan was just temporarily going to bring him to Zhou's house, how did he feel like he had something important to talk about, he looked at Yun Menghan suspiciously, and then said to Zhou Kongqi: "Senior Zhou has won the award, Xiaosheng is just a scholar, I don't know why Xiaosheng can make Senior Zhou so happy?"

Zhou Kong paused for a moment and said to Yun Menghan: "Brother Yun, my nephew still doesn't know why he came this time?"

Yun Menghan smiled bitterly: "Senior Zhou smiled, this action was hasty, and he didn't explain the situation to my son-in-law, and I ask Senior Zhou to understand." ”

"Haha, the eldest husband is informal, it doesn't matter, since the nephew doesn't know why he came here, then please take a look at this letter. With that, he picked up a piece of letter from the table and handed it to Ye Yuanqing.

Ye Yuanqing didn't know if he didn't look at it, and his jaw dropped when he saw it, the handwriting on the letter paper was his father's, and he saw that it was written: "Brother Kongqi, see the letter as well, the dog Yuanqing is stubborn, he will not be honest here, if he visits, it must be Menghan who abducted him here, at that time, there is no need to be polite, admonish the foolish brother, and the family affairs are all arranged by the brother... ”

Ye Yuanqing's whole face was pasted on the paper, and after reading it word by word, he suddenly turned his head and glared at Yun Menghan, as if he wanted to eat the other party, while Yun Menghan spread his hands and made an innocent appearance, Ye Yuanqing hurriedly looked up at Zhou Kongqi and showed a smile that was more ugly than crying and said, "Uncle Zhou, this is all a misunderstanding." ”

"Haha, the nephew doesn't have to explain, your father and I are sworn brothers, and we have set a baby kiss, but don't worry, I am also young and understand your thoughts, I will not force you, just wait for you to meet the little girl before making a decision." Zhou Kongqi said with a smile.

Ye Yuanqing breathed a long sigh of relief and secretly looked at Cui Lingsha, although she didn't know what was written in the letter, but what Zhou Kongqi said just now more or less revealed the purpose of the trip, and Cui Lingsha looked back at him with a calm face, which made his heart suddenly sour, and secretly thought: "Doesn't Miss Cui understand my mind?"

Here Ye Yuanqing is worried about his life's events, and Lin Yuanqing next to him is also worried, he just hoped that Zhou Kongqi would be angry because of Zhou Fei's matter, but the other party's attitude made him feel cold, he wanted to enter the rivers and lakes so much, because he had heard too many chivalrous stories from Mr. Storyteller, thinking that the people in the rivers and lakes were anxious for justice and righteousness, and they were all chivalrous people, who could go to the soup for a promise, can stick a knife in the ribs for a brother, and can die generously for the country and the people... But now everything he has experienced is for fame and fortune, Qiu Mingyuan, Ou Suifeng, Yun Menghan, Zhou Kongqi, although his brother-in-law seems to be not limited to these, but if he didn't have the Ye family behind him, it is estimated that he would have died several times, can he really do the so-called chivalry?

Lin and Ye both fell into deep thought, and didn't pay attention to the situation around them at all, until Ye Yuanqing heard Zhou Kongqi shouting at himself, he came back to his senses, and only heard Zhou Kongqi say: "Nephew, this is the little girl Huishu, Huishu, come and see Ye Yuanqing Ye Gongzi." ”

Ye Yuanqing looked blankly at Zhou Huishu, who had just walked in from outside the door, the other party was dressed in a light green robe, and his demeanor and dress were very similar to when he first saw Cui Lingsha, Ye Yuanqing said unconsciously: "Lingsha?"

Cui Lingsha, who was next to her, shook her body when she heard this, and then slowly lowered her head.

And Zhou Huishu heard Ye Yuanqing's thoughtless sentence, covered her mouth and chuckled: "Huishu has seen Ye Gongzi." ”

Ye Yuanqing also came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Yuanqing has seen Miss Zhou. ”

"Hehe, it's a nerd. Zhou Huishu, who was born in a martial arts family, couldn't help but smile after seeing Ye Yuanqing perform a salute between literati.

"Huishu, don't be rude, Ye Shi's nephew came from afar for the family affair that was set back then. Zhou Kongqi said.

"Dad!" Zhou Huishu said angrily, and at the same time, Ye Yuanqing also said: "Uncle Zhou... ”

"Ahem, you sit down first, it's the first time we've met, and the two families are so close. "Zhou Kongqi usually dotes on his daughter very much, so he can't have a seizure, so he can only play a round.

Lin Yuanqing couldn't sit still at the moment, he just wanted to see Zhou Fei's parents now, so he hurriedly got up and hugged his fists and said, "Senior Zhou, since I'm old... Ye Gongzi and Miss Zhou have something to talk about, so I won't bother here, can you let me meet Zhou Fei's parents?"

Zhou Kongqi glanced at Lin Yuanqing, showed a trace of impatience, and beckoned to the family behind him and said, "Since Brother Lin wants to see Zhou Fei's parents, Zhou An, you can take him there, and then entertain Brother Lin for a meal." ”

Cui Lingsha also got up at this time and said, "Lingsha will accompany Lin Gongzi." Then the two followed Zhou An down.

Ye Yuanqing just wanted to stop the two, but Yun Menghan used his true qi to point at the side of his neck, making him unable to make a sound, and then clicked on his acupoint, and waited until the two walked out of the living room to untie it, Ye Yuanqing glared angrily, but Yun Menghan used a voice transmission to enter the secret road: "Childe, the overall situation is important!" With a serious expression, it seemed undoubted, Ye Yuanqing's thoughts turned, and he only sighed.

Lin Yuanqing and Cui Lingsha walked behind Zhou An, Lin Yuanqing saw that Cui Lingsha still looked sad, so he said: "Miss Cui, you don't have to worry about Qi Yaozu's affairs, their Qi family can't afford to provoke my eldest brother Ye's family, and we won't leave if this matter is not settled." ”

Cui Lingsha only nodded slightly after hearing this, and said softly absentmindedly: "Lingsha believes in Lin Gongzi and Ye Gongzi, I am not worried about this matter." ”

Seeing this, Lin Yuanqing asked puzzledly: "Then why is Miss Cui worried?"

Cui Lingsha knew that she was speechless at this moment, but she just shook her head slightly, and did not speak, Lin Yuanqing saw that it was inconvenient to ask more, and the two followed Zhou An silently.

Lin Yuanqing only said that the garden area of the Zhou family is very large, but he didn't expect it to be so big, there are two small village houses in the way, it seems that there are no less than 100 people, the three of them walked for a long time, came to another village, walked in and forgave for a long time, and finally stopped at the door of a small courtyard, Zhou An said: "This is the residence of Zhou Fei's parents, this is Zhou Fei's relics, please take care of yourself, and the two can return the same way after the incident." After handing over the relics that Lin Yuanqing had given to Zhou Kongqi before, he left.

Lin Yuanqing stood at the door, raised his hand, put it down, hesitated for a long time, Cui Lingsha just looked at him quietly beside him, and said softly for a while: "If Lin Gongzi really can't say it, it's better to put these at the door, just leave a note and leave, sometimes it's a good way to escape." ”

When Lin Yuanqing heard this, he lowered his head and said, "Thank you Miss Cui for the lesson." With that, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened, and it was an old man who looked like he was more than sixty years old, and he asked suspiciously after seeing Lin and Cui at the door: "The two don't seem to be the children of the Zhou family, right?"

Lin Yuanqing hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Under Lin Yuanqing, this is Cui Lingsha Cui girl, I am Zhou Fei's friend." ”

The old man was overjoyed when he heard this: "Oh, it turned out to be Ah Fei's friend, please come in quickly, please come in, this stinky boy hasn't written to us for a long time, but it's troublesome for the two of you to come all the way, I'm really sorry." ”

Lin Yuanqing's face darkened when he heard this, and he wanted to explain the situation, but the old man enthusiastically pulled him into the house, and shouted into the house: "Old woman, Ah Feito's friend has come to see us, come out quickly." ”

There was a sound of rustling in the house, and after a while, an old woman came out, trembling and trotting over, looking at Lin Yuanqing with expectant eyes and saying, "Is the little brother Ah Fei's friend?

Lin Yuanqing bit his lip, the words reached his throat and were swallowed back, and he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle in his heart, if he didn't tell the two old men, wouldn't he be escaping reality again, so what was the meaning of this trip to Hangzhou?

Father Zhou couldn't help but change color when he saw Lin Yuanqing's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, and said in an anxious tone: "Little brother, what's wrong with Ah Fei?

Lin Yuanqing suddenly said with a flash in his mind: "Uncle and aunt, Ah Fei is very good now, but he is too busy to say that he can't come back, I work with him, this is not just to come to Hangzhou to do business, so he asked me to come to see the second elder, and I don't have to worry about anything." ”

Father and Mother Zhou suddenly soothed after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Hehe, the man is ambitious in all directions, he doesn't need to come back all the time, just think about us, Lin Gongzi, Miss Cui, come in and sit down, and have a meal with us by the way." ”

Seeing that the two old men were so enthusiastic, they could only agree, sat down, and during the meal, the two old men kept asking Lin Yuanqing about Zhou Fei's situation, Lin Yuanqing could only rely on his memory of Zhou Fei and kept making up stories, and the joy of the old man was overflowing.

After eating, Lin Yuanqing handed over Zhou Fei's pension to the second elder, saying that it was given to them by Zhou Fei, and he would send them money in the future.

At the moment when the courtyard door closed, Lin Yuanqing suddenly leaned weakly against the wall behind him, slowly squatted down, buried his head in his knees, and bowed his shoulders together.

Cui Lingsha walked to his side and slowly squatted down, and the two of them squatted like this for a long time.

After a long time, Lin Yuanqing wiped his face a few times, cleared his throat and said, "Miss Cui, let's go back." ”

Cui Lingsha said softly: "Hmm." ”

On the way back, Cui Lingsha said, "I didn't feel good just now." ”

"If I tell the truth, I'll feel even worse. ”

"Just keep cheating?"

"Well, in the future, I will live in the lives of the two old men as Zhou Fei, but I won't come again. ”

"Well, at least they still have a hope. ”

Lin Yuanqing nodded, and suddenly said, "Miss Cui, I take the liberty to ask you." ”

"Lin Gongzi, please speak. Cui Lingsha looked at him puzzled and said.

"I think you should know my eldest brother's affection for you, just now I remembered that when Miss Zhou entered the house, my eldest brother shouted your name to her. ”

Cui Lingsha heard Lin Yuanqing say this, sighed faintly, and said after a long time: "I don't know what Ye Gongzi thinks, from the voice he just shouted, it can be proved that I don't hide it from Gongzi, I also have a good impression of Ye Gongzi, he is a wishful man who can be entrusted for life, but the difference between our backgrounds is too great, one is a painter and a pianist, and the other is a child of a wealthy family, I can't afford to climb it." ”

"But my eldest brother doesn't care about this, and Miss Cui, you're not bad compared to those ladies. Lin Yuanqing said puzzled.

"He may not care, I believe he doesn't care, but his parents don't care, the more wealthy the more they care about the right family, and... People change, can you guarantee that your eldest brother will never like other women in the future, or can you guarantee that you will only be devoted to one woman in the future?" asked Cui Lingsha.

"I dare to promise! Not only me, but I also dare to guarantee that my eldest brother will also be devoted to you!" Lin Yuanqing thought of Chu Wan in his heart and said categorically.

"Lin Gongzi, don't say everything too absolutely. Cui Lingsha's tone was a little disdainful.

"Okay, then we'll see. Lin Yuanqing stubbornly twisted his head to the side like a little boy who was arguing with his big sister.

"Hehe, okay, we'll see. Cui Lingsha looked at Lin Yuanqing and laughed like a younger brother, and the depressing atmosphere just now was instantly diluted a lot.

When the two returned to the living room of the Zhou family, everyone had finished their meal and were sitting in the hall waiting for the two, Ye Yuanqing saw that Cui Lingsha seemed to have a lot of words to say to her after coming back, and was held down by Yun Menghan, and Lin Yuanqing also asked Zhou Kongqi not to tell his parents about Zhou Fei's death, and he would write more letters to them as Zhou Fei in the future, and Zhou Kongqi agreed.

Everyone said goodbye to Zhou Kongqi, and before leaving, Zhou Huishu personally sent a food box, saying that it was a snack made by herself and given it to Ye Yuanqing to taste, Ye Yuanqing took it tremblingly like a great enemy, and then ran out of Zhou's mansion as if he was running away.

After the four of them returned to the inn, Ye Yuanqing threw the food box on the table as if he had received a hot potato, Lin Yuanqing didn't know what was going on, who knew that Ye Yuanqing showed retching after hearing it, and jumped out, Yun Menghan shook his head with a smile.

Lin Yuanqing looked at Yun Menghan, and Yun Menghan raised his hand and said, "Slow, don't be in a hurry to ask me first, you can taste the snacks on the table first." ”

Cui Lingsha said: "This is a gift from Miss Zhou to Ye Gongzi, it's not suitable for us to eat." ”

Yun Menghan said with a smile: "It's okay, my son-in-law must be very happy if you know that you are willing to eat, so don't be stunned, try it." ”

Although Lin and Cui had doubts in their hearts, they opened the food box according to the words, and the snacks in the box did not look unusual, just the osmanthus cake that ordinary people often eat, and the two of them each picked up a piece, Cui Lingsha was just about to eat, only to see Ye Yuanqing push open the door and shout weakly: "Lingsha!

Cui Lingsha hurriedly stopped when she heard it, but Lin Yuanqing took a quick step and put the snack in her mouth, chewed it casually, and saw him chewing, Ye Yuanqing covered his mouth with both hands and ran out again.

Lin Yuanqing, who chewed the third bite, suddenly felt a spicy breath burst from his mouth, uncontrollably rushed to the top of his head, half of his head was numb, circled for a moment, and then rushed towards the seven orifices, and suddenly burst into tears, and before he came back to his senses, he unconsciously chewed again, and suddenly an extremely salty and sour smell exploded again, this time he couldn't care about the pain in his head and the tears on his face, he covered his mouth and rushed out of the room, and Cui Lingsha next to him looked at everything that happened in front of him with a long mouth.

In less than half an hour, Ye and Lin collapsed on the bed weakly, Ye Yuanqing was better, but weak, but his consciousness was quite clear, but Lin Yuanqing was more serious, his eyes were half-squinted, he seemed to be dizzy, unconscious, there was a spittoon next to the bed, and he vomited from time to time, but he couldn't even vomit bile at the moment, and someone in the toilet downstairs shouted: "What quality?!

Cui Lingsha kept changing wet towels for the two of them, wiped the sweat on their faces, and said anxiously: "Did the people of the Zhou family poison them?"

Yun Menghan broke off a small piece of dim sum, put it under his nose and sniffed it and said: "Well, croton, rhubarb, Changshan, quinoa, Gansui, ho, the whole skin of the dim sum is made of mustard powder, no wonder Gongzi just licked it and sniffed it at dinner just now, that's it, Brother Lin can actually eat it, it's really heroic! ”

Cui Lingsha also knew some herbal knowledge, and after hearing what Yun Menghan said, her face was shocked, and she hurriedly said, "The Zhou family really wants to kill Ye Gongzi?"

Yun Menghan smiled and said, "Miss Cui is serious, I'm afraid it's just Miss Zhou's prank." ”

Ye Yuanqing hurriedly shouted, "Teacher Yun, no." Yun Menghan sighed, then walked to the table and picked up the pen and began to write, Cui Lingsha asked puzzledly: "Ye Gongzi, why don't you let Mr. Yun continue?"

Ye Yuanqing said weakly: "Lingsha, I'll tell you in person when I'm well." ”

Cui Lingsha nodded after hearing this.

Yun Menghan walked over with the paper at this moment, handed it to Cui Lingsha and said, "Miss Cui, you work hard to give this prescription to the shop, and let him go and grab the medicine according to the medicine listed on this list and send it to you." ”

After Cui Lingsha went out with the list, Yun Menghan said to Ye Yuanqing: "Son, this may offend the Zhou family, and it can also affect our relationship with the Zhou family, is it worth it?"

Ye Yuanqing said lightly: "The things I decided will not change, I just want to be with Miss Cui, no matter how good other women are, in my eyes, they are not as good as Miss Cui." ”

"But the old man may not agree. ”

"My father is persuaded by me, does Teacher Yun support me?"

Yun Menghan looked at Ye Yuanqing's firm eyes and was silent for a long time before saying, "Standing in the interests of the family, I firmly oppose you doing this. Then he patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "But as your teacher, the person who taught you since childhood, I support you in doing this." ”

Ye Yuanqing also laughed, but what they didn't know was that Cui Lingsha was now standing outside the door, listening to the conversation between the two clearly, and the prescription in his hand was clenched tighter.
