Chapter 117
Shi Hua was talking to Yan Shangzhi when he suddenly saw two people coming in from the door. The first one was slightly taller and thinner, with thick eyebrows and handsome eyes. He looked very energetic. When he came in, he called Yan Shangzhi: "Senior brother."
Shi Hua saw a young man standing next to him again. He had an ordinary face and looked very bookish. He also called out: "Ming Xiu."
Shi Hua looked at them both, and within a few breaths, he felt a little sure that these two people must be Xie Ling's two senior brothers, Yang Ye and Qian Rui.
Just as he was thinking about it, Yang Ye turned to look at her and asked, knowingly: "Brother, this is"
Shi Hua smiled, stood up gracefully, and said by name: "My name is Shi Hua, I am Xie Ling's sister, these two must be his senior brothers."
Yang Ye suddenly realized: "I see, we often hear Shen Zhi talking about you."
His expression was so fake that Qian Rui next to him was embarrassed for him, so he could only smile at Shi Hua and said, "Shen Zhi is probably arriving soon. My surname is Qian Mingrui, and my cousin is Min Xing. I am his senior brother."
Shi Hua nodded, Yang Ye also introduced himself, and asked curiously: "Did you come to the capital alone?"
Shi Hua replied: "I used to treat people in Cenzhou, and then I set out from Cenzhou with the caravan and came to the capital."
Hearing this, Yang Ye was surprised and said: "Cenzhou? Is it the Cenzhou where the flood broke the river bank a while ago?"
Shi Hua nodded: "Exactly, I was in Cenzhou City when the Baisong River burst its embankment."
Several people were surprised. Yan Shangzhi asked: "What is the situation in Cenzhou City now?"
Shi Hua replied: "When I left, the victims had all settled down, but most of the farmland was flooded. I'm afraid there will be no harvest this year."
Yang Ye has a bad temper. After hearing this, he asked: "I heard that the Baisong River broke its embankment because all the money allocated to build the river channel last year was embezzled. Is this true?"
Shi Hua paused for a moment, and Yan Shangzhi said disapprovingly: "Stop with respect and be careful what you say."
Yang Ye was annoyed, and Shi Hua thought for a while, but replied: "I don't know much about this matter, but it is said that before the embankment broke, the government did not send anyone to inspect it. The embankment suddenly cracked, and this matter still belongs to the people of Cenzhou City. It was discovered that because the evacuation was not timely, many people were unaware of it in advance, resulting in many homes being washed away by the flood."
¡°As she spoke, she added: ¡°At least 30% of the people in Cenzhou City are homeless.¡±
You can imagine what the scene was like in other places. The atmosphere was silent for a moment. At this moment, footsteps came from outside. They were a little hurried at first, but stopped suddenly when they reached the study courtyard.
A confused voice sounded: "Master Xie, why don't you leave?"
Shi Hua's heart suddenly tightened. She stood up and looked at the door. For a moment, she didn't know whether she was nervous or expecting.
She hasn¡¯t seen Xie Ling for a long time. They have been dependent on each other since nine years ago. This is the first time that they have been separated for such a long time.
In the chaos, she couldn't remember Xie Ling's face for a moment.
While Shi Hua was in a daze, a familiar figure took advantage of the darkness and strode through the door without lighting a lantern. The air was still filled with the scent of grass and trees in the courtyard, floating slowly, and there were a few wisps of the faint fragrance of ink. spread.
That was Xie Ling. Shi Hua¡¯s first feeling was that he had grown a lot taller.
After Xie Ling came in, he first stared at her closely, then turned to Yan Shangzhi and others and said, "Senior brother."
As if he was completely indifferent to Shi Hua's arrival, Yang Ye couldn't help but remind him: "You are little¡ª¡ªahem, your sister is here."
Xie Ling nodded, indicating that he understood, and said nothing else. Even his expression did not change at all. It was completely different from the gloomy look he had when he heard that Shi Hua had left Suyang City. Yang Ye was wondering when he suddenly heard that Yan Shang Zhi said: "Since Miss Shi is here, you might as well settle her down first. It's getting late, so I won't keep you here."
Xie Ling nodded and said, "Senior brother, I've been troublesome these days, so I'll say goodbye to Ah Jiu first."
His tone was calm, and Shi Hua couldn't detect any emotion. She couldn't help but stare at Xie Ling for a few times when no one was paying attention. She still looked calm and calm.
Shi Hua inevitably felt a little disappointed. She thought, maybe Xie Ling didn't want her to come to the capital as much as the letter said?
After bidding farewell to Yan Shangzhi and others, Shi Hua followed Xie Ling and walked out of the study. Along the way, the servants of the Yan MansionDon't worry about it, just let it be. "
Shi Hua nodded. Now it seems that this is the only way.
Xie Ling led Shi Hua through the gate of the house and closed the door with a creaking sound that spread far into the night.
This house is indeed very big. Xie Ling found a lantern at the gatehouse and lit it, and carefully warned: "Ajiu, follow me, don't fall."
Shi Hua responded and followed him. The courtyard was very quiet, and she could only hear the long and short chirping of insects in the summer night, which was thin and thin, like some unknown tune.
After walking around the verandah and paths for a long time, Xie Ling stopped in front of a courtyard and said, "We are here."
As he spoke, he reached out and pushed open the courtyard door. The first time he entered, Shi Hua felt that the layout of the courtyard looked familiar, and it looked a bit like the courtyard in Suyang City.
It¡¯s just that this courtyard has a second entrance. Xie Ling went in with a lantern and asked casually: ¡°Ajiu, are you still going back to Suyang City?¡±
At first hearing this sentence, Shi Hua could hear the tension hidden in his voice. It was clear that he was very unwilling, but she had to ask. She couldn't help but want to laugh in her heart, and said deliberately: "Let's live some time."
Xie Ling's steps suddenly stopped. He turned around, and the dim light of the lantern fell on the hem of his robe. His voice was a little tight, and it was rare that he was a little anxious: "Are you going back?"
