Shanghai Embroidery Lady

Chapter 51

Under Ye Zijin's meticulous care, Zizheng's wounds healed day by day, and the bruises on his face gradually faded away, but there were still some light red scars on his hands.

That evening, Ye Zijin returned home and applied medicine to Zizheng as usual, while lightly applying the ointment, she said distressedly: "Don't leave any scars, it won't look good when you roll up your sleeves in the future."

Zizheng said with a relaxed smile: "Sister, I'm not a girl, what do I need a good skin for, besides scars are enough prestige, which one of the heroes written in "Water Margin" has a scar on the left and a scar on the right Branded, whoever dares to bully you in the future, I can scare them away as soon as I roll up my sleeves, and save me from doing it, hehe..."

Ye Zijin gave Zizheng a white look, and said, "Nonsense, what's so good about leaving scars all over the place, let it go, don't move your hands!" Ye Zijin pressed Zizheng's hand, and gently blew on the place where the ointment was applied on his arm gas.Zizheng only felt that the areas on his hands were cool and itchy, and a faint fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose.

"Anyway, Xinyu won't dislike it, it doesn't matter..." The corners of Zizheng's mouth curled up.

Ye Zijin glanced at him and said, "I'm really not ashamed."

"Dong dong dong." There were several knocks on the door, Ye Zijin put down the medicine bottle, got up and opened the door.

When he opened it, Ah Cheng was standing at the door with several wrapped boxes.

"Hello, Miss Ye." Ah Cheng nodded in respect.

"What are you doing here?" Ye Zijin frowned, Zizheng's injury was just about right, and these gang members came to her again, she immediately became more vigilant, and her tone was no longer polite.

"Oh, it's like this. Boss Meng sent me to deliver some tonics to your brother, and then I will treat you to dinner tonight to express my apology." The reason why Meng Haoxiang sent him to look for Ye Zijin now was also because he was not sure about Ye Zijin's situation.If Ye Zijin was still obsessed with what happened last time, and blamed Boss Meng for her younger brother's injury, he would be using guns as cannon fodder now...

"No, let's go, please tell Boss Meng, don't bother us if you have anything to do." Ye Zijin was about to close the door without mercy.

Ah Cheng hastily stretched out one foot against the door, and the gift box in his hand was dangling. He leaned forward and said sincerely: "Miss Ye, don't be angry. Boss Meng also wants to apologize to you, and this time is a family banquet. It's at Lord Hua's house, there won't be any danger, or Master Hua personally asked Boss Meng to invite the two of you..."

Hua Jinkun?Why did his majestic boss Jin'an invite her and Zizheng to dinner?Ye Zijin suspected that it was Ah Cheng's excuse, but still refused straight away: "If you don't go, you won't go, why don't you go?"

Ah Cheng still refused to let go, and persuaded: "Miss Ye can not give face to Boss Meng, but at least give face to Master Hua. Master Hua said that our Jin'antang is not a bandit and bandit, and we must dare to take responsibility for what we do wrong. I didn't expect to get your siblings involved in gang disputes this time, and Lord Hua thinks that you two should make a formal apology."

At this time Zizheng came over, seeing Ye Zijin's expression of embarrassment and the other party's stalking, he knew that if he didn't go, he might offend the people in Jin'antang.So he said to Ah Cheng: "Okay, we know, what time do you just say?"

Seeing that Ye Zizheng agreed, Ah Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "I will pick you up on time at six o'clock." He put the supplements he brought at the door, and bowed to the siblings, With a sigh of relief, he turned and left.

"Why did you promise him?" Ye Zijin blamed.

Zizheng patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: "Sister, the other party is Hua Jinkun, the boss of Jin'an Hall. If we don't go, we may cause more trouble." Zizheng said as he took the box on the ground into the house.

"What do you want these things for? Throw them out quickly. I don't want to see what he sent." Ye Zijin glanced displeasedly at the supplements that Ah Cheng sent.

Zizheng smiled, and said: "Is there anything you can't ask for? If Meng Haoxiang dares to give it away, I dare to accept it. Besides, this little apology is not enough for me."

Ye Zizheng unhurriedly unwrapped the oil paper wrapped outside, and saw one of them was a dark red carved wooden box, opened the wooden box, and there were a few long-bearded ginseng lying in it, and the other boxes were also full of ginseng. Bird's nest and a class of precious supplements.

Ye Zijin watched coldly, unmoved.If it wasn't because he, Meng Haoxiang, sent a car to pick her up every day on his own initiative, how could those people find her and Zizheng? It's already happened, so what's the use of Meng Haoxiang sending things now, in the end it's all his fault.

"Sister, I want to ask you a question." Zi Zheng suddenly said to Ye Zijin.

"Well, tell me." Ye Zijin felt a little puzzled when he saw his sudden seriousness.

Zizheng thought for a while, and said: "If one day, the person you love and I are on opposite sides, it's like water and fire won't allow you to die, who will you choose to stand on?"

Ye Zijin was stunned, smiled lightly, and said: "Fool, how can the person I love be in a hostile relationship with you? If I want to find someone like that, you can't agree to it. If you don't agree, I can still stand by him." Is it?"

Although Zizheng only said it jokingly, there was an inexplicable sourness in his heart.He knew that his sister was going to marry sooner or later, even if he didn't like the person she would marry in the future, he would not stop him, as long as she felt happy.

She has suffered too much for him, what Ye Zizheng hopes most in her life is that she can find someone who treats her sincerely.If one day he can no longer be by her side, that man can accompany her and take care of her for him...

At six o'clock in the evening, Ah Cheng was waiting for Ye Zijin and his brother at the entrance of the alley on time.After they got into the car, Ah Cheng handed Ye Zijin and Ye Zizheng two long and narrow black cloths, and said, "According to the rules of the gang, outsiders are not allowed to know where Lord Hua lives, so please both of you cover them first." Eye."

Ye Zijin took the black cloth, first helped Zi Zheng to cover it, and then covered it himself.There is a lot of noise outside the car window, the sound of hawking and car horns can be heard endlessly.After passing through a downtown area, the outside gradually became quiet, so quiet that one could hear the rustling of insects in the grass and the rustling of leaves in the forest, and the air was mixed with the fragrance of green grass and soil.

After the car stopped, Ah Cheng told Ye Zijin that the cloth could be taken off now.

Opening his eyes suddenly, the sky outside had already darkened, and the surroundings were surrounded by vast night, only the faint red sunset glow remained in the sky.A round of amber crescent moon is surrounded by ink smudged clouds, which is half covered and casts a faint soft light.

Ye Zijin followed Ah Cheng into a Chinese-style house, and when he entered the door, he saw a stone screen carved with patterns of dragons and auspicious clouds.

Bypassing Shiping, a large-scale pond leaps in front of you. There are rockery, duckweed, mountains and mountains in the pond, and the flowing water is gurgling. It seems that you can still vaguely see red koi swimming in the water.The surrounding trees are lush and lush, and vines are wrapped around them, like a piece of dark green flowing.Some twisted and jagged branches stick to the surface of the water and stretch far away. The shadows of lights, trees and flowers in the water sway, and ripples are formed, which has a quiet and far-reaching, leisurely and leisurely atmosphere.

Walking on the winding corridor on the water is like strolling on the waves. Red lanterns are hung under the eaves, and the spots of light are gathered in the center of the wave, and Ye Zijin's heart seems to be rippling along with it.She has lived in the north since she was a child, and she has only seen this kind of garden in the style of Jiangnan water town in the Summer Palace. Although the gardens there are also ingenious and ingenious, they are not brought out from the bottom of their bones. They are somewhat different from the solemn and majestic buildings around them. It always feels like it lacks a touch of elegance and verve.

After passing through a half-moon arch, they entered another garden, and saw the three vermilion characters "Wantangchun" written on the plaque on the door.

Ye Zijin smelled the fragrance of flowers from a distance, and only after entering the garden did she realize what it means to be full of spring scenery. The garden is full of rhododendrons, and the scale is so large that Ye Zijin was really surprised.

She had never seen so many rhododendrons in various colors, and the clusters were connected into pieces, and the pieces merged into a sea of ​​flowers, which was very beautiful and moving under the reflection of the lights.Ye Zijin couldn't help but think of the phrase "I'm afraid that the flowers will fall asleep late at night, so I burn high candles to illuminate the red makeup". Although rhododendrons are not as expensive as crabapples, they are the most vigorous flowers in the mountains and fields in spring. They are also known as azaleas. Rhododendron is not inferior to Begonia in style at all, bringing people a kind of full and bright spring.

Ah Cheng led Ye Zijin and Zizheng into the room, and saw four people sitting around the round table, besides Hua Jinkun, He Manling and Meng Haoxiang, there was also a man sitting next to Hua Jinkun, Ye Zijin was not know that person.

"Miss Ye, Young Master Ye, please take a seat." Hua Jinkun smiled, then turned around and ordered his followers to notify the kitchen to serve the food.

Ye Zijin sat between Zizheng and He Manling, He Manling smiled generously at her, then turned her head to look at Meng Haoxiang beside her, and said softly: "Haoxiang, where did you get the ashes on your sleeve? I don’t know how to wipe it off.” After speaking, he took out a handkerchief from his delicate handbag and wiped it casually on Meng Haoxiang’s sleeve a few times.

The man next to Hua Jinkun smiled contemptuously, "Manling, you are really kind to Boss Meng, but some people don't seem to appreciate it."

Hua Jinkun glared at the man, who gave a light snort and stopped talking.Hua Jinkun turned to Zi Zijin and introduced: "Ms. Ye must have met Manling and Haoxiang, but the one you haven't seen is Feng Li. I invite you two here today, and I will ask your sister My brother apologizes, and the second is to thank Ms. Ye."

Ye Zijin was at a loss, "I don't know what Master Hua wants to thank me for? The little girl seems to have never done anything for you, Master Hua."

Hua Jinkun said: "I heard from Haoxiang that you once saved him, and that you have done us Jin'antang a kindness by saving him. This incident surprised you two, and I apologize to you on behalf of the dog. "

Feng Li glanced at Ye Zijin arrogantly, and said, "Father, why are you apologizing to them, don't lose your status. Besides, Jin'antang robbed his Boss Duan's goods, how dare he do anything? You are so Increase the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige."

With a "snap", the celadon teacup in Hua Jinkun's hand was thrown heavily on the table, the lid rolled twice before it stopped, a few drops of tea splashed out of the cup, and everyone present fell silent.
