Returning to the courtyard, as soon as I approached the west wing, I heard an additional voice inside the house. When I entered the door, I saw that there was an extra person in the house, and it turned out to be Qiu Ruyi.
The two of them just happened to see Xie Fu's disgusting face, and Yilan was slightly surprised. In her impression, Xie Fu always had a smile on his face, and rarely looked so gloomy.
Qiu Ruyi knew it very well. Just now, Yi Lan said that Xie Fu went to see his cousin, and he was afraid that Xie Li would be ruined by Xie Li.
Amidst the applause, she was manipulated by Xie Fu.
Xie Fu asked: "Why are you here?"
Qiu Ruyi smiled: "Can't I come?"
Xie Fu sat down and said, "You are really strong, you can really do anything."
Qiu Ruyi smiled: "I also thought you were tired and lying down, so I came here to check on you."
Xie Fu quipped: "As long as it's okay."
Qiu Ruyi was not to be outdone: "I feel relieved to see that you can still move around."
Although Yilan couldn't understand the riddles of the two people, she could still tell that there was something behind their words, so she interjected: "Everyone Qiu said that she used to live in Yangzhou Luyezhai, and she also told many interesting things about you. I heard it very much.
interesting."
Xie Fu responded: "She and I are old friends."
Yi Lanyan smiled: "Everyone in Qiu also said that you often ruined her bed, causing her to change the mattress every time."
Xie Fu said angrily: "Why do you say everything? If you don't know, you think I often poop and pee on your bed."
These words were too vulgar. The two women looked embarrassed, but Qiu Ruyi quickly adapted to it and said to Yilan: "Yilan, that's what he is like. Sometimes he goes crazy. You can't guess what his next sentence will be."
What words came out."
Yilan responded: "Fu seems to be polite and humble to outsiders. He only speaks unhesitatingly in front of people he knows well."
Qiu Ru noticed that Xie Fu had a sullen expression on his face and asked softly: "Old friend, are you feeling blocked?"
Xie Fu said nothing and just glanced at Qiu Ruyi.
Qiu Ruyi lowered her eyes and smiled: "Come on, come on, let's have a cup of tea to relieve the tightness in your chest." After brewing three cups, she personally brought one cup and placed it in front of Fu Xie.
Before entering the mouth, Xie Fu could already smell the aroma of the tea. He took a sip from the cup and immediately felt that the irritability in his heart was gone. He felt relaxed and happy: "Good tea!"
Seeing Qiu Ruyi looking at him with questioning eyes, Xie Fu responded: "Green Yangchun!"
The corners of Qiu Ruyi's mouth curled up into a smile: "Drink first."
Xie Fu finished the remaining half of the cup and tasted it. He was clearly drinking hot soup, but it had a strange feeling of being as cold as ice. When he tasted it more carefully, it was not cold, but hot and clear and sweet.
It wasn't cold at the moment, but the smell was chilly. I blurted out: "Could it be Nanling Water?"
Qiu Ruyi smiled: "My unique green willow spring and the best water in the south of the Yangtze River can make your irritability disappear."
Only then did Xie Fu smile: "Miao, where did you get such a good Luliuchun?" The Luliuchun Caiwei gave him last time was even worse than this.
"Thank you for the gift you gave me. I'll give you half of it."
When Xie Fu saw the cloth bag on the table, he sighed deeply: "Alas!"
This bag of green willow spring must have been Caiwei's hard work, and it also contained her affection and was given to her cousin. However, the cousin gave it to Qiu Ruyi, making him feel that his conscience was feeding the dog.
Yilan was curious: "Fu, why are you sighing again?"
Qiu Ruyi smiled brightly: "He is worrying about other people's things."
Xie Fu said angrily: "What did you say you came to do?"
Qiu Ru felt that Xie Fu was blaming the fault on her, and said coldly: "I want to ask you, why did you bring Yilan to Yangzhou?"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately changed from friends to their respective positions being clear.
Yilan said lightly: "I asked Fu to take me to Yangzhou. I wanted to see his hometown."
Qiu Ruyi couldn't say anything, and Xie Fu didn't want to put something on the table in front of Yilan, so he changed the subject: "By the way, where is Caiwei, have you gone back?"
"Uncle Quan came over and said that your grandfather wanted to see Caiwei."
Xie Fu remained silent.
Qiu Ru noticed that Xie Fu didn't look very good, so she wanted to avoid it for a while: "Yilan, where is the dressing room?"
Yi Lan stood up and said, "Everyone Qiu, I will take you there."
In large houses, the master bedroom is equipped with a dressing room. Yi Lan led Qiu Ruyi to open the curtain and walked in.
Qiu Ruyi had just sat down. She looked through the curtain and happened to see the shadow of Xie Fu sitting in front of the round table. Her face suddenly became hot. At this time, the distance between her and Xie Fu was less than two feet. If it were not blocked by this curtain,
, is no different from being convenient in front of him.
Yilan asked softly: "What's wrong?"
Qiu Ruyi smiled sheepishly, and Yi Lan pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't worry, there will be no sound." Only women understand women's things.
Qiu Ruyi asked curiously: "Why is there no sound?"
After asking, his face turned red again, which meant that there was usually a sound.
Yilan responded: "I don't know either, you'll find out if you try."
For some reason, Qiu Ruyi felt a little uncomfortable after what Yilan said. She didn't make any movement for a long time. She was obviously anxious but seemed to be blocked by something, so she had to smile awkwardly at Yilan.
Yilan said thoughtfully: "Do you want me to go out first?"
"No, just talk to me."
As he spoke, he shifted his gaze and looked around. Suddenly he saw something small in a bamboo basket next to him. It was a small stick. One end of the stick was made of bird down and made into a ball, like a delicate little duster. He picked it up out of curiosity.
:"What is this?"
Yi Lan snorted: "It's too late to stop it."
Qiu Ruyi had already known about the relationship between Xie Fu and Yilan. When she saw Yilan's sudden blush, she thought to herself that this must be a sentimental item for the two of them, so she deliberately teased: "Yilan, this is not an itchy thing, right?"
Yi Lan wanted to laugh when he heard this but didn't dare. She pursed her lips and said, "Such a furry thing will make it more itchy the more you scratch it."
Qiu Ruyi pointed out: "Sometimes the more itchy the better?"
Yi Lan simply said: "What about for example?"
"For example……"
Qiu Ruyi said, gently swiping her neck, closing her beautiful eyes gently, biting her lip gently, half intoxicated, and slid it down her slender, white neck, and finally landed gently on her firm breasts through her skirt.
Yilan just looked at it and suddenly felt a flash of lightning passing by on the top of the snow.
Qiu Ruyi opened her eyes and saw Yilan blushing, and asked with a smile: "Is this the way to use this gadget?"
Yi Lan suppressed a laugh and shook her head.
"How to use it?"
Yilan bit her lower lip gently. Qiu Ru noticed Yilan's shy look and hesitated to speak, her heart beat like a deer, and she was curious and expecting.
Fu Xie was staring at the cloth bag on the table in a daze, when he heard light footsteps coming from the door. Looking over, he saw Caiwei coming back with her head buried, looking sad.
"Caiwei."
Hu Caiwei suddenly heard Xie Fu's voice and was startled. She immediately showed a smile to Xie Fu, but this smile showed grievance visible to the naked eye: "Brother."
This big brother call made Xie Fu's heart tremble, and he felt a strong sense of protecting the little girl.
Caiwei sat down, and Xie Fu asked softly: "What's wrong?"
Hu Caiwei smiled and shook her head: "It's okay."
It was impossible for her to speak out on her own initiative. Xie Fu asked directly: "What did grandpa ask you to do?"
Hu Caiwei still kept a smile on her face, but her eyes were red: "The old lady said...the old lady said..."
After taking a deep breath, he grinned and said: "The old man said he wanted me to be his concubine, and he said he would love me just as much..."
Before Hu Caiwei finished speaking, Xie Fu slammed the table: "That's unreasonable!"
Inside the curtain, Qiu Ruyi was feeling embarrassed after listening to Yilan explain the true purpose of this gadget. When she suddenly heard the sound of Xie Fu slapping the table, both of them looked stern.
Just Xie Fu's slap on the table was enough to make Hu Caiwei feel warm in her heart: "Brother, it's okay."
Xie Fu said in a deep voice: "Caiwei, don't worry, my eldest brother will definitely seek justice for you!"
Hu Caiwei felt that it was worth getting to know Brother Xie. The stiff smile on her face naturally melted away, and she said calmly: "Brother, you don't have to worry about this. It's actually nothing. Although I come from a peasant family, I'm not a deadbeat."
woman."
Xie Fu gently wiped the moisture from the corner of her eyes and said softly: "You still said it was nothing."
Hu Caiwei burst into tears and smiled: "I'm happy to have you as a good big brother. Caiwei is really happy and happy."
At this time, Yilan and Qiu Ruyi came out from behind the curtain. Hu Caiwei suddenly saw Qiu Ruyi and was immediately struck by her beauty and nobility. She secretly wondered whether this woman was also his elder brother's bride.
The eldest brother’s sweethearts are really more beautiful and stunning than the last, but I feel happy for the eldest brother in my heart.
Xie Fu saw this and said: "Caiwei, let me introduce you. This is Qiu Ruyi. Ruyi, this is my little sister, Caiwei."
When Hu Caiwei heard the three words Qiu Ruyi, her expression suddenly froze, and she stared at this beautiful, generous, elegant and noble woman,
This stunning beauty is the Qiu Ruyi the old man calls her, the woman that both the old man and Xie Li want to marry into their family. No wonder, no wonder...
The more I thought about it, the worse I felt. I felt like I didn't even have the qualifications to stand with her. I timidly looked away, and suddenly glanced at the cloth bag on the table. My heart and lungs were filled with sadness and loss, and tears fell silently.
After listening to Xie Fu's introduction, Qiu Ruyi wondered to herself, is this woman Xie Li's fiancée? What a beautiful and honest woman, is Xie Li blind?
I didn't like the thank you gift at first, so I felt even more disdainful of it. At the same time, I felt a little pity for the woman in front of me, and said softly: "Can I call you Miss Caiwei?"
The corner of Hu Caiwei's mouth trembled, trying to force out a smile to avoid being rude to others, but the cloth bag on the table suddenly popped into her eyes, like a stone hitting her chest. She felt like she was about to suffocate, so she turned around and ran out.
Qiu Ruyi is good at observing words and expressions. Her eyes gently fell on the cloth bag on the table, and she could basically figure out the reason. If it were her, she would definitely be very sad.
Only Yi Lan is still in the dark.
Xie Fu chased him out and shouted: "Caiwei."
Hu Caiwei stopped and breathed heavily, not forgetting to explain to Xie Fu: "Brother, I'm fine, I just want to take a breath."
Xie Fu came to Hu Caiwei and forced out a smile. In fact, he couldn't smile. He just hoped that his smile could soothe Caiwei's hurt heart: "Uh..."
"Brother, you don't have to say anything, I will never marry him even if I die!"
Seeing Caiwei's resolute look, Fu Xie secretly sighed in his heart. It was irreversible. His cousin had lost Caiwei forever. He smiled and said, "Okay."
Hu Caiwei was stunned when she saw Fu Xie being so cheerful.
Xie Fu smiled bitterly: "Brother can't force others to make things difficult for him. Besides, I don't have the face to advise you on this matter."
"Brother, you are so kind."
"No, no, no, you have been wronged so much, but I can't help you vent your anger."
Hu Caiwei smiled and shook her head.
Xie Fu smiled and said: "Let's go, find a place to sit down and talk."
The two of them found a corner in the yard and sat down. Xie Fu found a topic and asked, "Are uncle and aunt okay?"
"My mother is still the same and has difficulty moving around. My father is still very strong and can carry more than 100 kilograms of tea down the mountain at a time."
"By the way, I heard that you opened a tea shop in Yangzhou City, right?"
Hu Caiwei nodded: "Sister Heqing was here last time."
Xie Fu said: "He Qing has been there."
"Yes, Sister He Qing said that she wanted to find a better shop for me. There are only two people in the shop: me and my father. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to handle it, so I declined."
"Oh, the business of the tea shop is pretty good, right?" Naturally, the tea-making skills of Caiwei are not good, but the smell of wine is also due to the deep alleys, and those who work in small shops are afraid that others will not know the treasure.
Hu Caiwei said mysteriously: "Brother, do you know how much money the tea shop has made over the years?"
"How much silver?"
Hu Caiwei said excitedly: "In the past few years, I have saved almost three hundred taels of silver."
"Oh, is my Caiwei so capable?"
Hu Caiwei giggled happily: "It's the hard work of my father and I. Originally..."
"What was it?"
Hu Caiwei blushed: "Originally, I wanted to earn a lot of money to buy you beautiful clothes and good wine for you, brother."
Xie Fu felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "Is the eldest brother a man who is short of money?"
"Of course there is no shortage, Sister He Qing..." Hu Caiwei said sweetly: "But brother, you used to wear rags and were embarrassed and poor. I was planning to buy a house for you, but later I found out that you are not short of money.
"
Xie Fu touched her head lovingly.
Hu Caiwei said lightly: "Later, my father planned to use half of it as a dowry to help him grow in reputation, and the other half to buy a house in Yangzhou City. The rest will be enough for them to take care of themselves for the rest of their lives."
He said with a smile: "Now it seems that the tea shop has to continue to operate and save some money."
During the questions and answers, Xie Fu also gradually learned about Caiwei's development over the years. This was the longest chat between the two since they broke up a few years ago.
Hu Caiwei was so excited as she spoke that she completely forgot about the thank you gift, but suddenly she became quiet.
Xie Fuqing said: "Caiwei, what's wrong?"
"Brother, is the woman named Qiu Ruyi who was in the room just now the woman Xie Li likes?"
Xie Fu nodded.
"I am far inferior to such a beautiful and elegant woman. No wonder Xie Li abandoned me."
The word "abandon" also made Xie Fu sound worried. He never thought that his cousin would do such a thing, so he comforted him: "Silly girl, you can't distinguish good from bad by appearance and identity. I don't know how many people there are."
A beautiful woman has a vicious heart, but my Caiwei is still kind, honest, caring and filial to the family."
