Yu Jun

Chapter 95 Request
The Wu family did not hang lanterns under the platform, so in the middle of winter night, except for a little light spread out in the courtyard, there was endless darkness.

Liu Boyu followed Liu Bowen's hand and walked forward from the dark, the suddenness made people startled.

Wu Yi was taken aback, seeing that Liu Boyu and Liu Bowen looked exactly the same, one tall and one short standing together, like two people with round faces made of dough, in this dark night, they became more and more weird and funny, breaking the affection in the house .

"You, you..." Wu Yi stammered, remembering the leaker that Wu Jin had told him, the surprise when they first met immediately dissipated, leaving only nervousness.

It wouldn't be my brother who found out that they were ship leakers, so let's make trouble!

He couldn't figure it out, but he subconsciously felt bad, and couldn't help but look at Liu Bowen, panicking in his heart: "Why are you looking for my brother?"

Liu Boyu raised his hands, and the fingers of both hands were hooked with thin cotton ropes. There were four or five large oil-paper bags hanging from them. He smiled and looked amiable: "I'm here to ask your brother for help, you are Wu Yi, right? I often hear blog posts mentioning you as a good friend, you really are a good boy."

He stepped over the threshold, walked in uninvited, and took a look at the house as soon as he entered it: "It's really warm, your brother lives in the east wing, right?"

Liu Bowen also walked in.

Wu Yi listened to him and breathed a sigh of relief, but still a little scared, swallowed, turned around, and shouted to the kitchen: "Mother, there are guests, it's Liu Bowen and his brother, come to see elder brother!"

Wu's mother came out of the kitchen in a hurry. Seeing the people who came here, they were full of stupid smiles, and they were carrying big and small packages. When they saw her, they kept calling "Auntie", wiped their hands hurriedly, and declined the gift.

But Liu Boyu didn't allow her to refuse, directly put it on the ground, and went to the east wing very kindly.

Wu Jin heard his younger brother's yelling, and opened the door of the room. An oil lamp inside the room illuminated him, and the shadow folded from under his feet, crossed the threshold, and stretched out of the room.

Liu Bowen was full of apologies: "Wu Jieyuan, I'm really sorry to disturb you at such a late hour, can I go in and sit down?"

"Just call me Wu Jin, sit here," Wu Jin came out and opened the door of the cubicle, "Please."

There was no lamp or charcoal basin in the compartment, it was like a dark ice cellar, and Liu Boyu was swallowed in one gulp.

Like a little tail of his, Liu Bowen also stepped in, and Wu Jin looked at Wu Yi who was at a loss: "Go and make some tea."

Wu Yi nodded quickly, turned around and ran to the kitchen, Wu Jin returned to her room, raised the oil lamp, and went to the cubicle.

A dim yellow light emitted from his hands, dispelling the darkness in the room step by step, illuminating the path he was going to take very brightly.

The oil lamp was placed on the square table, and the three of them sat around the table. Everything from the table to the bench was cold and hard, which prevented them from being lazy and leisurely.

At this time, Wu Yi came in with a plate, on which were three cups of hot tea, placed them on the table, and brought down the melon seeds. He was about to leave, but Wu Jin waved to him: "Sit down too, and the hostesses will serve you." friend."

Wu Yi sat down according to her words, rubbed her hands together uneasily, breathed out two mouthfuls of hot air into her palms, wanted to move the charcoal basin in, but didn't dare to move.

Liu Boyu held up a cup of hot tea to warm his hands, and said with a smile, "It's been nearly a month and a half since I saw you last time. Your hands are all healed. It's such a happy event. At that time, I was only focused on talking to Miss Mo, and didn't look at you carefully." , Now take a closer look, you are really imposing."

While talking, he looked at Wu Jin carefully, and saw that Wu Jin was wearing a dusty and bloated cotton padded jacket. It was an ugly homely dress, but when it was on him, it became very handsome.

Wu Jin smiled, said nothing, bowed her head and took a sip of tea, thinking that the tea leaves she bought today are very good, not bitter, and have a delicate fragrance, but it's a pity that Cheng Ting didn't come to taste them.

Liu Boyu hit a wall, but he didn't stand coldly, still full of enthusiasm: "I came today to ask Wu Jin to do me a favor."

Wu Jin said to the teacup, "Please tell me."

He also looked amiable, but Wu Yi watched from the side, always worried, and didn't even dare to rub his hands.

Liu Boyu took a sip from the teacup, put down the teacup, grabbed a handful of melon seeds in his hand, peeled one, didn't eat it, just put it aside, peeled another one, still didn't eat it, put it aside.

He peeled and said: "Then I'll just say it, brother Wu should know what kind of business my family is doing, don't need to say more."

Wu Jin stared at his hand: "I know."

Liu Boyu peeled it very carefully, and soon there was a small pile of shells on the left and a small pile of kernels on the right. He didn't eat, but peeled, and sighed at the same time: "Miss Mo forbids us to use mules, envoy Mo Jiedu loves my sister, Take this as a golden rule, we have always respected the Mo family, since we are not allowed to use mules, we will not use them."

After he finished speaking, he pulled the small pile of melon seeds he had peeled into the palm of his hand, opened his mouth, and poured them into his mouth, chewing with relish.

While chewing hard, he waited for Wu Jin to speak, but after waiting and waiting, he couldn't get a single word from Wu Jin—it seemed that Wu Jin would wait for him to finish his words before opening his mouth.

So after he finished chewing, he took a sip of tea, coughed twice, and cleared his throat: "It turns out that the Liu family can still survive without mules, but since the war, the leaky ship has become extremely dangerous, but we don't Do you dare to leave—the dignitaries use our peppercorns, ambergris, and pearl agate, how dare we stop?"

He was full of embarrassment: "Nowadays we don't have a mule, we can't move an inch. I just want to ask Brother Wu to ask Miss Mo for us to allow us to use a mule."

Wu Jin slightly turned her head to look at him: "Will Wang Zhizhou want your lives for a few pepper seeds? Or will Zhifu Cheng want your lives for a few pearls? Xiang, envoy Mo Jiedu will want you to be buried with him?"

He turned his face back, and said in a flat voice, "There is a ferry terminal in Luoshui, Jeju, and there is a shipping department. Can't you buy peppercorns? Or are they short of money and go to Luoshui pier to buy them?"

Liu Boyu didn't expect that he would refute himself plausibly, and even paused for a while in the action of peeling melon seeds.

Wu Jin articulated clearly, and every word was unambiguous: "It's just that you are greedy for money and taking danger, and you have insatiable desires, and you can't get enough of it."

There was no one in the room to answer the call for a while, and it fell into silence, only Liu Boyu's hand moved again, making a "click".

Wu Yi looked at Liu Bowen, Liu Bowen smiled at him, but the smile revealed a layer of cold sweat on his body, sticking to his clothes, hitting his spine, making him shudder.

He turned his head to look at Wu Jin. He thought Wu Jin was full of anger, but under the firelight, Wu Jin's expression didn't change at all—he felt that his brother seemed to be scarier than before, and he was very gentle before, but he still couldn't help it Those who want to be angry, want to speak harshly, but now, there is only gentleness, like spring waves in the lake and willows on the embankment.

Let him have a kind of fear that he can't think about.
