Xiao Chenyu had mixed feelings about this man who claimed to be his uncle taking the initiative to strike up a conversation, but he still managed to show respect to him.
Qin Yaoguang was very pleased to see this scene. The Qin family's vitality was now severely damaged.
The Fourth Fang has made a big mistake and is no longer able to gain a foothold in Dancheng. Now it only depends on whether the fourth brother Qin Yaozu can support the Fourth Fang?
The second brother of the second wife is also useless and cannot be counted on. On the contrary, the second wife's nephew Sun Donghai is still a good student. From now on, he hopes that Sun Donghai can go to high school so that the second wife can take advantage of the opportunity.
As for the third bedroom, it’s okay not to mention it.
Therefore, Qin Yaoguang naturally hopes that Xiao Chenyu, his wife, and Qin Yaozu can reconcile.
However, before he came, his father had warned him not to get too involved in the affairs of Qin Xiang and Si Fang. Now that he had a good relationship with Xiao Chenyu and Qin Xiang, he could just maintain the current relationship.
However, Qin Yaoguang's ideas are slightly different from his father's. Young people are always more impulsive and energetic.
Qin Yaozu was worthy of being a man who had been in the officialdom for two years. He showed no real thoughts on his face. He met Xiao Chenyu politely, showed a warm smile to Lu Jiu, and casually chatted a few words about his childhood. Interesting things, which brought the relationship between the two closer.
It has to be said that Qin Yaozu is much better than his parents.
Now that Qin Yaozu is here, it will take a while for the Qin family's goods to be moved, so Xiao Chenyu and Lu Jiu simply go into the city and go home, while Uncle Qi and Sun Jifei transport the remaining goods to a villa not far away.
Speaking of which, the conversation with Qin Yaozu didn't take long, and the two of them didn't have a carriage, so they rode into the city in the wind and snow.
The rules in the city were strict, and horses were not allowed to gallop, so the two of them walked forward slowly.
Not long after entering the city, I saw a carriage parked quietly on the side of the road.
As the two passed by, the carriage's sedan curtain lifted a corner. It wasn't until the two people's backs disappeared around the corner that the curtain was lowered. Then a crisp female voice came out: "Come back!"
The coachman, who was about to freeze, was taking small steps in place. After hearing the instructions, he hurriedly waved his hand and gently slapped the horse on the buttocks with the riding crop. He thought to himself: I can finally go back. If I don’t leave, I will be afraid of this old bone. I'm going to freeze here.
This episode did not attract the attention of Lu Jiu and Xiao Chenyu. It was already dark when they arrived home.
After bathing and changing clothes, we started to eat.
Because it was Qin Xiang and Xiao Chenyu who came back, today's meal was very sumptuous. Some of the servants had bought it in the capital. Let alone Qin Xiang, Xiao Chenyu had only seen them a few times.
On the contrary, Lu Jiu and the others are more familiar with each other. Outsiders don't know and think that Lu Jiu is the master of this family.
Lu Jiu looked at Xiao Chenyu's family, the old and the children, gathering together. He felt quite envious and said with the help of wine: "When the matter here is settled, I will go back to spend time with my parents and children earlier. If I have good luck, If so, I will give birth to a child next year to make my mother happy."
Xiao Chenyu picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Lu Jiu, and said with a smile: "But you envy my lively life?"
"Yes, although our Lu family is not sparsely populated, and there are many people at home during the New Year and holidays, how many of them are sincerely accompanying us? Most of them want benefits. Once my father or I are no longer useful, I am afraid they will fall out. It’s quick to turn the pages of the book.”
When Lu'er was full, she took her brother Bao'er to play. Su quickly put down her chopsticks and followed him. She was worried about being left in the care of a maid.
There were only Xiao Chenyu, Qin Xi and Lu Jiu on the table.
Ever since he met Lu Jiu, he had always shown himself to be a carefree and libertine. Tonight, he rarely suppressed the smile that always hung on his face, and drank the wine in one heavy gulp.
"After my mother got married, she didn't get pregnant for several years. Many people in the family put pressure on my father, either to let him take a concubine or to adopt a child in his name."
Mrs. Lu had told Qin Xiang about these things before, but she didn't expect Lu Jiu to mention them.
Qin Xiang glanced at Xiao Chenyu beside him. Xiao Chenyu looked at Lu Jiu with a smile and listened very patiently. But he felt his wife's gaze and held her hand under the table, squeezing it slightly. Qin Xiang understood somewhat. It seemed that Lu Jiu had drunk too much.
Lu Jiu drank three glasses of wine again. Xiao Chenyu tried to stop him, but he didn't care. He said that he could not get drunk after a thousand cups of wine.
Lu Jiu said that the person he envied most when he was a child was Qin Yaozu.
Qin Xiang raised his eyebrows in confusion, Xiao Chenyu leaned into Qin Xiang's ear and whispered: "I met Qin Yaozu at the city gate, and he even took the initiative to say hello to me."
"What's going on with you two? Listen to me carefully and don't keep mumbling over there!"
Xiao Chenyu cut off the conversation with a wry smile, looked at Qin Xiang as if he would talk later, and then said to Lu Jiu: "How about I drink with you? You can drink as long as you want, and you can drink as much as you want. , but let her rest first."
"Don't leave. You all sit tight and listen to what I say. I know that I am a useless person. No one is willing to listen to me. They all say that I am a playboy. They all say that if I were not pampered by my parents, I would be dead. He’s already starved to death.”
Seeing that he was chattering endlessly, Qin Xiang quickly said that she was not leaving and would just listen to what Lu Jiu had to say.
Then, he ordered Qing Can to make a pot of Yan Yan's tea to sober them up.
Lu Jiu's past seemed bright and glamorous. He was loved by his father and doted on by his mother. He had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child. His cousins all took care of him and held him as if he were a treasure, for fear that he would be unhappy or fall or touch him. .
"But they don't know that I have a special power, which is that I can see through people's minds through my eyes."
He could always feel it inexplicably who was sincere and who was fake.
When he was a child, he was in pain. He felt that he was living in a falsehood. He couldn't figure it out. He even asked his father and mother. But his father and mother could create a good living environment for him and make people support him. But how can we find sincerity for him?
His parents can only let him learn to control his temper and not let others see what he is thinking.
Later, Lu Jiu went to school with a group of people. Everyone's identity should be the same, so they should be the same.
Lu Jiu was nice to people at first, but found that they ignored him and instead flocked to curry favor with Qin Yaoguang and Qin Yaozu, especially Qin Yaozu. When Mr. Qin saw him, he would smile and speak to him in a lower voice.
No matter who his classmates are, they can get along with him peacefully, and everyone really likes him. What's more, he is also a real academic master. He is very talented in reading. Although he is a child of an aristocratic family, he is not arrogant or impetuous. He can squat down with beggars on the roadside. Give him steamed buns.
"For several years, I spent my time observing him, and even imitating him. I put on a false mask to get along with others, but human aura is such a mysterious thing. No matter how I learned it, he was still the almighty god. He is the proud son and the darling in everyone's heart, but I still live to be the joke behind everyone's back."
