Embarrassing for the bride

Chapter 43

Wen Zhaoling didn't go back to eat with the elders, but went straight back to Boyuju.Yu Zhi was leaning on the couch and reading the script with relish, seeing him come back, she asked with a smile: "What, it's over?"

Wen Zhaoling shook his head, "No, Aunt Wu suddenly felt unwell, so she went back to rest, and put aside the matter of revising the scores for the time being." He smiled and sat down beside her, "But your name has already been added, just now Next to my name, Mrs. Dong."

Yuzhi deliberately squinted at him, "Smiling like this, is it so beautiful?"

Wen Zhaoling bent down and hugged her, "Nature is beautiful. The person next to my name is you, not someone else. The person next to your name is me, not someone else. Is there anything more beautiful than this?"

Yuzhi thumped him, "You are really getting more and more nasty now."

Wen Zhaoling smiled and hugged her tightly, "I heard that your name is Fuqin, so don't miss me anymore?"

Yuzhi said "ah", "She actually told you? It's not loyal enough, I even helped her!"

"Oh? What did you help her with?"

"It's nothing." Yuzhi felt that it would be better not to say anything about Fu Qin.

Wen Zhaoling gave a low laugh, and instantly understood, no wonder Fuqin told him those words, it turned out that it was because Yuzhi had helped her before, and she was really lucky to meet someone who would repay her kindness.

Yuzhi was afraid that Wen Zhaoling would keep staring at Fuqin, so she wanted to change the subject and said to him, "Liu Niang came here today, her eyes are red, I think she seems to be thinking of Shuquan."

Wen Zhaoling looked down at her, with a tense tone, "What did she say?"

Yuzhi didn't know why he was so nervous all of a sudden, and replied honestly: "I didn't say anything, I just said that I wanted to go to worship Shuquan, and go to Mingyue Nunnery to have an incense by the way. She is alone and has no one to accompany her. I hope I will go with her."

"You promised?"

Yuzhi nodded, "She was crying so sadly, how could I not agree?"

Wen Zhaoling frowned and remained silent.

Yuzhi tugged at him, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Wen Zhaoling shook his head, and the smile on his face resumed, "Yuzhi, what do you think of Liu Niang?"

Yu Zhi pursed her lips and said four words after a while: "Unfathomable."

Wen Zhaoling was taken aback, "You see it clearly, so why do you still want to associate with her?"

Yuzhi looked at him helplessly, "It's not up to me to decide, if she comes to me, I can't drive her away somehow, right?"

Wen Zhaoling sighed, "That's right." He remembered something, and asked her again, "When are you leaving?"

"Probably recently, judging from her tone, it seems that she has not set a time yet."

Wen Zhaoling thought for a while, and finally said: "Be careful."

Seeing his serious expression, Yuzhi nodded without hesitation.

The two didn't talk any more, Yu Zhi nestled in Wen Zhaoling's arms and continued to read the script, but Wen Zhaoling was lost in thought about what Fu Qin had said to him.

Someone walked in from outside the door, saw the two people embracing each other, yelled "Oops", covered their eyes and was about to leave.Yuzhi looked up and saw that it was Aqin, and quickly stopped her.

Aqin let go of her hand a little embarrassed, and Yuzhi sat up straight, keeping a certain distance from Wen Zhaoling.

"Why did you come?" Yuzhi was a little pleasantly surprised. A few days ago, she was still looking sluggish, but today she took the initiative to come to him, which is really strange.

Ah Qin approached the two of them, she looked a little thinner than before, but she was still in good spirits.She smiled at Yuzhi, then turned to look at Wen Zhaoling, "Brother, you are here, is the family tree repaired?"

Wen Zhaoling smiled, "Are you still thinking about this? The score has not been repaired yet, but Aunt Wu suddenly felt unwell, so there was a delay, and it should be repaired later."

Ah Qin pursed her lips and sat down on a stool opposite them without making a sound.

Yuzhi looked at her expression, then at Wen Zhaoling, a little puzzled, "You came here to ask this?"

Aqin remained silent.

Seeing her preoccupied and unhappy appearance, Wen Zhaoling thought for a while and said to her, "Aqin, I think you're fine at home, why don't you go to pay homage to your third brother with your sister-in-law and third sister-in-law in two days' time?" "Although he felt that Mrs. Li wouldn't do anything to Yuzhi, but to be on the safe side, she would definitely not dare to do anything if she asked Aqin to follow her.

Unexpectedly, Aqin shook her head, "I'm afraid it won't work, first...fourth, fourth brother said that if he has time in these two days, he will take me out to swim in the lake."

Yuzhi was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood, "No wonder you look so preoccupied, just because of this?"

Aqin nodded, "Fourth brother has shown me such goodwill, he has completely regarded me as a younger sister, but I don't know whether I should go or not."

Wen Zhaoling smiled and said: "This is a good thing, you can relax, how can the affection between brothers and sisters be less than that between men and women?"

This was the first time Wen Zhaoling said such words so clearly, Aqin was unavoidably a little unnatural, but she still nodded her head to show that she had listened.At first she was in doubt and wanted to talk to Yuzhi, but now that she heard Wen Zhaoling's words, she felt a little more open-minded, so she got up and said goodbye.

Seeing her go out, Yuzhi felt a little more relaxed. Fortunately, Ji Li took this step first, otherwise, with Aqin's temperament, she didn't know how long she would be awkward.

Aqin went to the yard where Ji Li lived after leaving the house. Originally, she planned to ask the little maid to tell him that she agreed, but now that she thinks about it, they are already brothers and sisters anyway, so why should she feel so guilty?So after a little thought, I decided to go by myself.

Ji Li had just returned from his mother's place and was busy at the desk. When he looked up and saw Ah Qin coming in, he was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "How about it, but did you agree to go to the lake with Fourth Brother?"

Aqin looked at his expression, it was very natural. When she was a teacher, she still thought he was gentle and young, but now she has been in the officialdom for a while, and she has become very harmonious.She nodded, "The fourth brother sincerely invites me, and the younger sister will naturally go."

Ji Li seemed surprised that she would say that, but then the smile on his face became more gentle, "Okay, then I'll tell you when I'm free and make arrangements."

Aqin nodded, and had nothing to say.

Ji Li got up and went to her, led her to sit down at the table, poured her a cup of tea, "By the way, you came today just in time, I just have something to ask you."

Ah Qin looked at him strangely, "What's the matter?"

Ji Li sat down opposite her and smiled slightly, "Isn't it Uncle who was with you last time?"

Aqin didn't know about Wen Yanqi's business in Suzhou, and she wouldn't tell others about these things at will, not to mention that she was still a little girl who hadn't reached Ji.So she always thought that Wen Yanqi went to his hometown in Suzhou just because he was not liked by his grandmother, and he only came back once a year.

At this time when Ji Li asked her this, she still thought about it for a while before remembering when he said the last time, it was after the Mid-Autumn Festival last year.Although a bit strange to Ji Li's question, she nodded and answered: "Yes, it's uncle, what's the matter?"

Ji Li lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing, I just saw the name Wen Yanqi in the genealogy today, so I asked when I remembered it."

Ah Qin was stunned, and didn't find it strange anymore.

Ji Li looked at Aqin, and asked another question: "Then do you know what uncle does for a living in Suzhou?"

Aqin frowned and thought for a while, then shook her head, "I don't know, and I've never heard of it. Suzhou is my grandfather's hometown, and all the members of the Wen family are in Suzhou. Uncle won't go hungry anyway."

Ji Li was amused by her cute words, nodded and said, "That's right, that's right."

His occasional knowing smile was so handsome that Aqin immediately felt that Haruhi had lost color, but thinking that the two of them were brother and sister now, she felt that she really shouldn't have such thoughts, panicked for a moment, and hurriedly got up to leave.

Seeing that she was leaving, Ji Li quickly got up to see her off, and when he reached the door, he suddenly said: "By the way, after I set a date, you can see if sister-in-law is free, and ask her to go with her."

Ah Qin paused, shook her head and said, "I'm afraid not. I just came from my sister-in-law. I heard that she is going to accompany my sister-in-law to pay homage to my third brother in the next few days. She may not be free."

Ji Li looked dark and nodded, "Okay, let's talk about it later."

Aqin seemed to catch something from the change in his expression, but it was only fleeting, and nothing was left in her heart.When I walked out of Ji Liju, I felt much more relaxed, and the disappointment of the past few days disappeared.A sibling relationship is better than no relationship at all.

After Ah Qin left, Ji Li called his personal servant and asked him a lot about Wen Yanqi.However, this young man has only been in Wen's family for a few years, and he doesn't know much about it. He only knows that there is a second master in Wen's family.

Ji Li carefully recalled the scene when he met Wen Yanqi that day, but he never thought that he would be a person who sits and eats.He thought for a while, and then asked the boy: "On weekdays, who walks closest to the second master?"

The servant thought for a while, "It should be the young master. I have seen the young master accompany the second master several times, and when the second master came back last time, the young master followed the master to pick him up. The young master is not in good health. , I seldom go out, so it can be seen that the second master has a closer relationship with the eldest young master."

Ji Li nodded and dismissed the servant, the more he thought about it, the more weird he felt.At first, he thought that Wen Zhaoling was not simple, but he looked gentle but he didn't know what he was thinking, just like entering the Wen family, he also acted as if he had let it go, and the second young master of the Wen family had already regarded him as an enemy.If Wen Zhaoling really regarded him as a brother, Ji Li still didn't quite believe it, after all, he had never had a deep friendship with him, so he didn't care at all.

But Wen Zhaoling and Wen Yanqi walked very close, and there might be something wrong with it.

Ji Li is talented and intelligent, and he is quick to learn. He has a lot of observations and observations in the officialdom, and now that he is in Dali Temple, which is a place of justice, the most important thing is to get to the bottom of it.In addition, he also wanted to gain a firm foothold in the Wen family as soon as possible.There are still many things that the Wen family does not know to him, and he must grasp them one by one.

Thinking about it this way, I simply decided to check it out.
