Chapter 14 West Wing
Ruyi reached out to help Liu Chengzhi and helped him sit down in the grass pavilion. Liu Chengzhi saw her go out to bring out the tea set and prepare tea. Bai Nianshi was about to call Chen Yu to sit down in the grass pavilion, but Qin Cui'e picked up a box of mooncakes, tiptoed, and walked up...
"Mr. Bai, tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival. My father went to the market to make some mooncakes and asked me to send you some." Then a pair of black eyes glanced at Chen Yu in the outskirts, pinched his throat and pretended to be surprised: "Oh, is this brother Chen Yu? It's been a long time since I saw you! What wind blows you?!"
"Today I'm here to visit Mr. Bai, may I ask you..." Chen Yu hasn't returned to this village for some years. He looks familiar to her, but he just can't remember when he recognized this "sister".
Cui'e looked at others a little awkwardly.
"This is the daughter Cui'e, the daughter of Qin Baochang's family." Fang took out some picked pears and rescued her: "I often come here, and I am as good as our family as I am. When your family moved out, she was still young and might not remember it too clearly."
"That's right, Brother Chen Yu, you are really forgetful!"
“…”
Because Chen Yu was not familiar with Liu Chengzhi, he sat down with him in a seat. Liu Chengzhi looked at him with a cautious look. Qin Cui'e saw that there was a seat between the two of them, and before Bai Nianshi could greet him, she sat down.
"Brother Chen Yu, how are your mother okay?"
"Brother Chen Yu, what's fun in the city? Tell me about it!" Qin Cui'e has an aunt living in Hangzhou and visits every month. Of course, she knew what's fun in Hangzhou, which she asked on purpose.
"Brother Chen Yu, look at this moon cake that my father went to make. This one is filled with bean paste and egg yolk. Do you want to try it?"
Chen Yu was dealing with Qin Cui'e who was chattering beside her, while looking at Ruyi smiling. Seeing that her slender fingers were flowing between the teapot and the tea bowl, her eyes were full of tenderness. Qin Cui'e saw that Chen Yu was simply evasive, but her eyes were staring at Ruyi. Now they began to talk about poetry and scriptures. She couldn't even get a word, so she bit her lip, and her heart was mixed and all kinds of feelings. She saw Chen Yu when she entered the village entrance. She still recognized him, how could she not recognize him? The day when he and his mother left the village, she ran for a long mountain road after chasing the carriage, and stopped until she couldn't catch up, and sat in the mud and cried.
A thin and weak, gentle little brother, now he has grown into a gentle gentleman with a gentle temperament. He is back! He is back! That's why she pretended to send mooncakes to see... The undercurrents in this were surging, and Ruyi couldn't see it. She brewed tea and poured it for everyone, while looking at Qin Cui'e, thinking that something was wrong when she twisted her waist and entered the yard with a charming face. So attentive, what was the spring you were doing? Liu Chengzhi leaned on a bamboo stick in his hands, looking at the protagonists in the center of the Love Triangle Storm with leisure, thinking that Chen Yu really had to guard against it, but what happened to Qin Cui'e? It's very interesting! It's very interesting!
Chen Yu was originally planning to visit Mr. Bai's family and wanted to go back to the city, but the Bai family must keep him for one more day so that he could return to the city after the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Bai family only had three thatched houses. If he lived there, he would probably go to the kitchen, and he was worried that his mother would be alone at home... While he was hesitating, Liu Chengzhi took the initiative to ask Chen Yu to stay at Tingyun Xiaozhu. There was a room there, so he asked Rongmu to go back to the city to send a letter to Chen's mother. This arrangement was extremely appropriate. Not only did he sell his favor to the Bai family, he could also get close to Chen Yu in the past two days and explore his details.
"I want to go back to the city again. This is more than 40 miles of mountain road. It's been a day since I went back and forth. Two horses can still rest. Where is me? Alas... it's really worse than a horse!" Rong Mu pouted and kept muttering. He pulled a cart of things from Liu's house back to the mountain, packed up the guest room for Chen Yu, and was sent back to the city for a trip. Naturally, he was unhappy.
"Stop talking nonsense to me. Maybe I spoil you too much, so I have discussed the conditions with me?!"
"Oh, young master, I don't dare."
The next morning... Rongmu came to Bai's house early in the morning and said that his young master came out of Tingyun Xiaozhu and walked back yesterday. His foot pain broke out again and stopped eating at noon. Fang simply asked Ruyi to cook the meals for them to deliver them together. Ruyi thought while cooking, he was hurting his feet, not an old disease attack, but he would only get better and better. How could he say that the attack occurred again? This person is really pretentious!
"In this way, Brother Liu has also been to Shuzhong, and he is really vast!"
"Where is it just to do business with your brother and play around."
"It's shameful that the young actor has also determined to know how to do the world, but he has a mother in his family to take care of and has never been able to travel far away."
"A real man's ambition is in all directions, but if his body is not fulfilled, his mind will be fulfilled."
"Hahaha, thank you Brother Liu for your comfort. I will give you tea instead of wine. Thank you."
Ruyi had just entered the bamboo forest and heard the conversation between the two of them, wondering when the two of them became so familiar and called themselves brothers. She saw Qin Cui'e between him and Chen Yu yesterday. If her father hadn't raised the topic several times, the two of them wouldn't look at each other, suddenly he would have stayed at Chen Yu, and he was afraid that he would cheat people, he would be the best person to bully people!
"Oh, Ruyi, you are here. I was having a great time talking to Brother Liu. I didn't expect that Brother Liu is not only knowledgeable, but also has a wide range of knowledge, which makes people admire him."
"Brother Chen praised it."
Ruyi saw that the two of them were getting along so harmoniously, so they didn't say anything. They quickly arranged the meal and asked Rongmu to come and have half together. After the meal, Liu Chengzhi said that he had been sitting for too long, and now all his blood and blood flowed to the wounds of his feet. He felt a little uncomfortable, so he asked Rongmu to help him back to the house and asked Rongmu to drink horses. As soon as Rongmu entered the horse shed in the bamboo forest, Ruyi heard Liu Chengzhi shout in the house: "Miss Ruyi, can you bring a glass of water below?"
Ruyi brought the water into the house and put it in front of him, but he didn't drink it, just said: "Can you go to the bookshelf to help you get a copy of "The West Chamber"?"
Why didn't Rong Mu let him take water and take a book when he was in the house? As soon as he walked away, he ordered her to do this and that. He must have done it on purpose! But seeing his injured foot on the bed, his other foot on the edge of the bed, smiling at her with a pitiful look. He also thought that his foot injury had not been healed and was trying to save himself. Ruyi swallowed the words he wanted to say and went to pick up the book.
"This is a version of the comments from Mr. Li Zhi that I printed privately, so Rongmu was asked to go to Hangzhou to retrieve it."
Ruyi became interested when she heard that the comments from Mr. Li Zhi whom she met at Wolong Temple that day, and she became interested. Her eyes were shining, and she walked around and was fascinated by the way. She sat down along the edge of the bed... Her father didn't allow her to read these "idle books" on weekdays, but she didn't expect that Liu Chengzhi also liked these opera and chores.
Ruyi was seeing the "burning incense and worshiping the moon" section, and she felt a warm feeling behind her back. She was getting closer and closer. A big hand was put on her waist... Liu Chengzhi actually moved to her side and boldly turned her back...
"If you like it, how about giving it to you?" Liu Chengzhi put his face to her ears and blew her earlobes, causing her to blush.
She was about to break free from the scoundrel's entanglement and slapped him again, but through the half-closed window, she saw Chen Yu facing away from the bamboo house, enjoying the mountain view in the distance. If he turned around, he was seeing Liu Chengzhi hugging her...
"Let go!" Ruyi whispered.
"Tell me how to repay me?" he leaned into her ear and whispered.
"Helping others but repaid is not done by a gentleman!"
"I'm not a gentleman, I'm a liar."
“…”
At this time, Chen Yu heard the voice of talking in the room gradually becoming less and turned around and looked...
