Chapter 244 Meeting an old friend again—Ying Jin

Song Huai nodded, "This matter is in the capital and has a great influence on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. All officials in the court are very concerned about this matter."

Yuan Chen sighed, "This matter is related to one of my friends, and it was his doing."

"Mr. Yuan's friend?"

Yuan Chen then asked slowly, "A few of you come from the capital, don't you know if you have heard of Ying Jin?"

All of them were stunned. How could anyone not know Ying Jin’s name?

Back then, she was as famous as Xie Ming, the eldest son of the Xie family.

Thank you for your reputation and keep calm, and be cautious and open-minded.

It should have been the pride of heaven, but he suffered a great disaster, had his legs ruined, and left the capital without knowing where to go.

The Ying family, which was once very famous, gradually stopped walking around the capital. When someone mentioned it, it was just a pity.

I didn't expect that I would hear Ying Jin again here.

"Is Lord Yuan's friend Ying Jin?" Chen Qianzhao said in surprise, "He is in He County?"

Lord Yuan nodded with a smile, "That's right."

Song Huai's eyes fell on Shen Qianzhao, and he rarely heard the little girl mentioning that someone was so excited.

Chen Qianzhao looked happy, "I wonder if Lord Yuan can tell him where he lives. I haven't seen him for some years, but I miss him a little."

Lord Yuan smiled heartily, "Of course, I can. Now I will send someone to invite Mr. Ying to come and go to the mansion to discuss!"

As he said that, he wanted to call in, but Chen Qianzhao quickly stopped him, "Mr. Yuan, he is unable to move, so he should trouble Lord Yuan to inform him of his residence, I can go by myself."

Zhou Yan thought something and glanced at Song Huai beside him.

Song Huai's thin lips were tightly pursed, and she was very considerate of Ying Jin.

After a while, several people left the mansion. Chen Qianzhao pulled Song Huai's cuffs, "You go back to the inn first, I'll see an old friend, and I'll go back soon."

Song Huai narrowed his eyes slightly, "Old friend?"

Afraid that Song Huai was misunderstood, Chen Qianzhao quickly explained, "A childhood friend."

Song Huai pursed his thin lips tightly. After a long time, he carried the white cloak and put it on the little girl in front of him. He patiently tied the straps, "It's very windy outside, come back early."

"Okay." Chen Qianzhao got on the carriage.

Yuan Chen bowed to Song Huai and Zhou Yan, "Two sirs, I will send the princess back safely."

Seeing the carriage gone, Zhou Yan said, "This Ying family's son is talented, handsome, and family background is of high quality. He was very famous in the capital in the early years. If it were not for the disaster that year, now, he might be even better than the Xie family's son."

Song Huai's eyes were slightly darker, and he pulled his lips and replied, "What are you talking to me about this person?"

Zhou Yan glanced at Song Huai, "How do you know whether she met an old friend or an old lover?"

Song Huai was silent for a while before he slowly spoke, "I believe her."

She said that she was an old friend, she was an old friend.

Zhou Yan: "Since you believe in her, why do you look so worried?"

Song Huai: "..."

...

When he returned to the inn, Xie Lin, who had just finished feeding Xue Zheng with the medicine bowl, saw that Song Huai was back, said hello, and asked puzzledly, "Where is Chen Xiaozhao, why haven't she come back?"

Seeing that Song Huai was silent, Zhou Yan, who was beside him, answered for him.

"The princess heard that the Ying family's son is here and went to see him."

Xie Lin was stunned. The young master of the Ying family... exclaimed, "Is Ying Jin?"

Zhou Yan nodded, Song Huai, who was beside him, walked away and walked towards the room. Xie Lin stuffed the medicine bowl into Zhou Yan's hand and hurriedly caught up with Song Huai.

"Song Huai, are you relieved to Chen Xiaozhao to see Ying Jin?!"

Xie Lin's face was shocked.

After entering the room, Song Huai poured a cup of tea and brought it to his mouth, but he couldn't drink it in half a sip. He raised his eyes and looked at Xie Lin, "Why am I not at ease?"

Xie Lin said "tsk" twice, "I tell you, we all grew up together. Shen Xiaozhao and I had a bad relationship when we were young, and we quarreled and fought all day long, and we were always protecting her. They had the best relationship."

Song Huai's hand holding the teacup suddenly tightened, "It's the most rare childhood playmate, and it's a good idea to have deeper feelings."

Seeing Song Huai's calm look, Xie Lin said, "Then you are wrong. When you grow up a little, my brother will be alienated from us. However, Ying Jin will climb trees and catch fish with Chen Xiaozhao all day long. Once, I saw them whispering, and there is a little secret!"

"I just refused to tell me that these two people were just excluding me at that time. They were the real childhood sweethearts, and they were all young."

Xie Lin said, gritting his teeth in anger, "I tell you, you can't relax your guard!"

As he said that, he patted Song Huai on the shoulder hard, looking like "I'm optimistic about you".

Song Huaixiahan was tense and said nothing for a while.

Xie Lin's words kept echoing in his mind...

After a long time, the hand holding the teacup suddenly loosened. After no longer sitting, he got up and walked out, "I'll go out."

Xie Lin picked up the cup of tea and waved his hand, "Go and go!"

After taking a sip of tea, Xie Lin couldn't help but remember what happened before and touched his chin...

If nothing happened to Ying Jin and still stayed in the capital, would Chen Xiaozhao still fall in love with Song Huai?

...

Walking through the alley, the carriage parked at the entrance of a secluded courtyard.

Yuan Chen said, "Princess, he is inside, so I won't go in."

Chen Qianzhao got off the carriage, the door was open, and at first glance, under the tree that had passed the flowering period, a familiar figure was sitting on a wooden wheelchair, holding a bowl of clear water in his hand, and his white fingers were stained with water drops, gently sprinkled on the roots of several fusanthemum flowers beside him.

The white figure was almost unaware of it.

Hearing the footsteps, Ying Jin raised his eyes and looked at the door, and was slightly stunned. The bowl in his hand almost fell to the ground.

He held it tightly, exerting force, and even his fingertips turned white.

When I came to my senses, I suddenly let go, placed the bowl on the stone table next to me, stroked my fingertips across the petals of the fusanthemum, withdrew my hand, and chuckled my lips at the figure at the door.

"A Zhao."

With a familiar soft call, Ying Jin in front of him gradually overlapped with the arrogant boy in his memory.

Chen Qianzhao then walked in, sat down beside the stone table, and said slowly, "It's been two years since we left."

"It's been two years, and I almost can't recognize you." Ying Jin smiled warmly, held the tea kettle, poured a cup of tea, and placed it in front of Chen Qianzhao.

"I remember you loved drinking tea since you were a child."

But for two years, the woman in front of me is no longer the little girl in my memory, but now she is graceful and charming.

Chen Qianzhao held the tea cup and took a sip of the tea. The tea fragrance was clear and a little swaying.

"I remember, you didn't like drinking tea before, why has it changed now?"

When others were learning tea ceremony, Ying Jin was the only one who kept making trouble.

So much so that he has always lacked the most in tea art.

But this cup of tea tastes just right.

Ying Jin's hand holding the teacup froze, and suddenly pursed his lips and smiled, "People can change."

Chen Qianzhao remained silent for a while, and then asked, "Xie Lin and I went to Yingfu to find you, but you refused to see us. I also said that you probably don't want to see me."

Touching the memories of the past, Ying Jin's hand holding the teacup was a little trembling, and the tea overflowed from the teacup and splashed lightly on the stone table...
