seal of magic

Seeing the maid pushing the wheelchair, Zhong Qingyu was a little surprised: "How did you get to the point where you have to sit in a wheelchair?!" The tone was seven parts surprised and three parts teasing.

Chen Dongyan really wanted to roll his eyes at him, but there was a maid present, if he did something "inappropriate", his mother would know in a while.With a dignified and kind face, he said: "It's nothing, just rest for a few days." He had already scolded Zhong Qingyu eight hundred times in his heart.

The maid not only pushed the wheelchair, but also fetched clothes for Chen Dongyan from the cloakroom.Chen Dongyan only wore a white shirt in the room, and the maid brought him a black sweater and a camel windbreaker.

Chen Dongyan: "..." The temperature had dropped for a few days before, but recently the temperature has picked up again. Both Zhong Qingyu and Qi Shao only wore one unlined garment, but now he has to wear three!Staying together doesn't even look like living in a season.

Chen Dongyan tried his best to fight for himself with a gentle voice: "I don't think it's too cold recently, otherwise the windbreaker will be fine."

Apparently saying that would not be harmful, the maid insisted, "Young master, when I came here my wife told me to ask you to wear two extra clothes, so that you won't catch a cold in the windy night."

Chen Dongyan kept smiling and made the last struggle: "But there is no wind outside now."

The maid rejected him mercilessly in a polite tone: "The weather forecast says it will be windy tonight. This is Madam's intention. Master, don't make things difficult for me."

Zhong Qingyu laughed out loud while watching the play, and even Qi Shao, who always pays attention to etiquette in front of people, couldn't hold back.

Zhong Qingyu: "Just wear it, there is a kind of cold that makes your mother think you are cold."

Chen Dongyan: "..." In the past, it was fine when there was no one else at home, but now there are friends present, as well as the friend's boyfriend, so embarrassing! ! !

In the end, Chen Dongyan couldn't hold back his mother's maid, so he obediently put on his clothes and sat in the wheelchair without saying a word.

If the proprietress of the restaurant where Zhong Qingyu took Qi Shao to eat in the alley looked much younger than her actual age, then Chen's mother, Xu Huiran, could almost say that the years had stopped on her face.

She didn't look like she could have a son as old as Chen Dongyan. If it wasn't for the lightness and vivacity of a girl in her gestures, and a little more mature and elegant, people might believe that she was Chen Dongyan's younger sister.

"Xiaoyu, long time no see." Xu Huiran's smile looked sincere, as if she was really happy.

"Hello, Auntie." Zhong Qingyu responded, and Qi Shao also followed him to say hello.

Xu Huiran: "This is Xiao Qi, right? Dong Yan's father is busy with work, so he doesn't come back to eat very often. Dong Yan's grandma has a nurse to cook for him. Usually, Dong Yan and I eat at home. It's rare that the house is so lively today. I have cooked a large table of dishes, and I will eat more later, so please don't be polite."

Chen Dongyan & Zhong Qingyu: "..."

Qi Shao, the only one who has not been "poisoned", nodded stupidly.

To be fair, Xu Huiran's dishes look pretty good, but it's hard to put into words when you eat them.

When Qi Shao and Qi Jing were young, their parents often couldn't take care of their siblings. They started to try to cook by themselves very early. The process was very difficult, and the food they made had complex flavors.Fortunately, the siblings are both very smart and have a high level of understanding. After going through the difficult period at the beginning, they gradually became able to do the same thing.

Qi Shao hadn't eaten such an indescribable dish for many years. It was no longer a matter of health preservation. It was probably Chen's mother's unique skill to make dishes with this taste for many years.

Zhong Qingyu picked up a chopstick for each of the several dishes that Zhong Qingyu was particularly experienced in, and then quickly cleared the rice in the bowl to express that he was full, and then he slipped away.

At this time, Chen Dongyan didn't look like he was devouring the cakes. His movements were noble and beautiful, but the speed was not slow at all, and he quickly put the bowl away.

Qi Shao, who was poorly left behind, became Xu Huiran's only target.

"Is it because Auntie's food is not delicious? You didn't eat much." Xu Huiran asked melancholy.

The truth is that it really doesn't taste good, but no one here dares to tell the truth. Qi Shao even suspects that Chen Dongyan's father is not so busy with work, but eating at home is probably a little more uncomfortable than working overtime.

"No!", "It's delicious!" The three comforted in unison.But two of the three had already left the dinner table, and Qi Shao was the only one who really wanted to pay for this white lie.

Qi Shao finished all the dishes silently under Xu Huiran's eager gaze.Fortunately, Zhong Qingyu promised him that he would not eat here again, otherwise he would rather rent a house on the way to the Chen family and use a telescope to monitor the flow of people every day to find Qi Jing, rather than stay here and wait OTZ .

After the meal, a servant cleared the table, and Mother Chen and Zhong Qingyu sat on the sofa and chatted.

Zhong Qingyu: "I heard Steward Li say that the old lady is not in good health recently, why don't Qi Shao, Dong Yan and I go over to see her later?"

Xu Huiran said: "The old lady's body is like this. It will not be very good in autumn, but this year seems to be a little bit worse. I rarely see people recently, even me and Dongyan. I will replace the old lady for your kindness." Thanks, I'll call Xiao Qin later and ask her to tell the old lady."

Mrs. Chen's body began to fall ill in autumn, and she would not recover until next spring.Everyone basically knows this.It's not very good, but in the past years, when I stayed in the house and had special caregivers around me, I didn't have any other obvious symptoms except for a little weak voice and a bad complexion.Zhong Qingyu visited her in autumn and winter last year, but he didn't expect it to suddenly deteriorate this year.

But this is also understandable. After all, when you get older, it only takes a year or two for many people to break down.

"Then what about the old lady's birthday this year?" Zhong Qingyu asked.

"Hey, that's not it." Xu Huiran sighed: "Dong Yan's father and I told her not to make a fuss, and just bring all our relatives here to have fun in front of her. Let her relax, but she won't say anything."

This is a little strange, as far as Zhong Qingyu knows, the old lady of the Chen family is not a vain person, and she doesn't like to be so lively, because her birthday is in winter, and in previous years, when she was uncomfortable, it was usually not too bad.Although the [-]th birthday is more important, her reaction is still very abnormal.

Zhong Qingyu looked at Chen Dongyan, but Chen Dongyan was looking elsewhere in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.He turned his gaze to Qi Shao again, Qi Shao shook his head slightly, so Zhong Qingyu changed the subject and chatted casually with Xu Huiran for another ten minutes.

After that, Zhong Qingyu and Qi Shao followed Chen Dongyan back to his residence, and Huanhuan who was left in the car earlier was also brought over.

"Do you have any plans for tomorrow?" Chen Dongyan asked.

Zhong Qingyu said: "I still have to go to the association."

Chen Dongyan: "Then you go, Qi Shao stays and learns spells with me."

Zhong Qingyu resolutely refused: "No way! If he stays here, won't he have to eat your mother's 'life without love' again?!"

Chen Dongyan gritted his teeth and said, "I'll order him takeaway!"

Zhong Qingyu asked Qi Shao's opinion again, and after the three of them discussed it, Zhong Qingyu dragged Qi Shao away in the name of a walk and date, leaving Chen Dongyan in the room to crazily curse the couple.

The Chen family's manor is very large, and there are many small gardens in it that are beautifully built.Zhong Qingyu used to be a frequent visitor to the Chen family when he was studying with Chen Dongyan. In recent years, the number has decreased, but the servants still recognize him, and no one stopped him when he took Qi Shao for a walk in the manor.

"What did you think of just now?" Zhong Qingyu brought Qi Shao out alone. Of course, dating alone is one aspect, and on the other hand, he also wants to discuss with Qi Shao the information he got today.

Qi Shao replied: "When talking about another possibility in Chen Dongyan's room in the afternoon, he seemed very sad. After dinner, when you talked about the old lady with his mother, I saw something appear on his face again. That kind of look. I think it is very likely that something will happen to the old lady of the Chen family. But I don’t understand what this matter has to do with the seal. Do you know anything about the old lady of the Chen family?”

Zhong Qingyu: "Our family and the Chen family are actually relatives. My grandma and Mrs. Chen are sisters. Mrs. Chen is my aunt and grandmother. Have you heard of Xiangxi Gu art? Mrs. Chen and my grandma are Xiangxi The successor of Gu art. Not long after my grandfather disappeared, my grandma passed away. It is rumored that the old lady of the Chen family learned Gu art with her sister since she was a child.

After all, this is a matter of the older generation, and Zhong Qingyu doesn't know much about it.

"If Gu is used, is it possible to transfer cancer from one person to another?" Qi Shao asked.

"Are you suspecting that she is the one who instigated Feng Ming?" Zhong Qingyu asked in surprise.

"Other than that, I can't think of any connection between her and the Seal of Seal. Now half of the Seal of Seal is on me, and the other half is in the hands of the envoy behind Feng Ming. If she is related to Seal of Seal, only This is possible."

"If that's the case, why did Dong Yan keep us?" Zhong Qingyu felt that what Qi Shao said was reasonable, but there was still something he couldn't understand: "It's no good for anyone if he knows the remaining The magic seal is with Mrs. Chen, wouldn’t it be good to just let her hand it over to us? How could this cause a ‘terrible future’?”

Qi Shao: "What if she refuses?"

Zhong Qingyu: "What's the reason for her refusal? This is another question I can't figure out. What does she want to seal the magic seal for?"

Qi Shao: "Do you still remember our previous speculation that the mastermind behind Feng Ming didn't necessarily want to seal the magic seal, he might just want to cover up the reason why your grandfather died that year. He took the sword, probably because Because there is still something left on the sword, maybe the magic seal is just attached to it, but if the sword is handed over, the fact that he killed people will be exposed."

But this is all speculation, without any evidence, not to mention that there are still many unsatisfactory aspects of this speculation, even if it is true, there is still nothing that can be done without Jian Zhong Qingyu and Qi Shao.

Zhong Qingyu thought for a while, and said, "Let's take a step and see. Since Dongyan asked us to stay here, he should have his special intentions. We just need to pay attention and observe, and don't act rashly."
