Ye Jianqiu

Soon, Ye Wanzhen entered the door, and Situ Jin couldn't help but look at the little girl in front of her.

Apparently, this girl came to the government office alone on foot, as if she had been fished out of the water, the cloth on her shoulders was soaked with sweat, and the sweat was dripping down her flushed face.Especially when she was carrying a large pannier that seemed overwhelmed, one couldn't help but want to reach out and help this poor girl.

Although she seems to work very hard, she still maintains decent manners.Jingchai in plain clothes, without makeup, has a quiet demeanor and a calm demeanor, even the sweat that keeps slipping from her forehead is slowly stained by her gently lifting her sleeves.

Situ Jin thought to herself, the second younger sister of the Ye family is just like her brother, no matter how much work she does, even the shoes on her feet are spotless.No matter how hard or tired he is, he never seems to lose his temper, and is always so gentle and kind.

It's really good, it seems that the second sister of the Ye family is also a hard-working, simple farmer's child.

Seeing Situ Jin's secretly approving eyes in front of her, Ye Wanzhen was secretly proud of herself. Before she came, she deliberately changed her shisha skirt and washed her face off, just to appear in front of him like a simple little flower blooming in the fields. .It seemed that Situ Jin really liked this.

Ye Wanzhen bowed forward, and said in a quiet voice: "I have met you, the young lady is Ye Wanzhen, the second younger sister of the Ye family, who works in the Shuiyunshang Embroidery Workshop in Qingyang Town. Today, the second younger sister, I will go to the mansion to find the eldest brother." , but Eldest Brother is no longer on duty in the mansion, Second Sister thought that Eldest Brother might be in the office, so Second Sister came here to try her luck, sir, don't blame Second Sister for being reckless and abrupt."

Uncle Jin couldn't help feeling puzzled.This Ye Jianqiu went to work on the farm, everyone in the house knew about it, how could no one tell?

Obviously, Situ Jin didn't think too much about it, he said, "Your eldest brother went to the farm, but he can't be found in the mansion, so I have to let you go for nothing."

Hearing this, Ye Wanzhen seemed to be taken aback, she raised her little face that was still flushed, her eyes were full of water, and she seemed to be weeping: "My lord, why is it so good, my eldest brother is not working in the mansion? He Why did I go to the farm to do rough work? But did my eldest brother do something wrong? My lord, we brothers and sisters grew up in the countryside and didn't know many rules. I hope that my lord will be more tolerant and considerate to my elder brother."

"You think too much, he just has other arrangements, and your brother... There is nothing wrong with him."

Situ Jin was very satisfied. The brothers and sisters of the Ye family were deeply in love, blood was thicker than water, and the second sister Ye spoke well. It seemed that the tutor was good.

After hearing this, Ye Wanzhen breathed a sigh of relief, and raised her sleeves to gently wipe the sweat on her forehead.

Situ Jin expressed concern: "It's hot outside, you should sit down and rest, drink a cup of tea before leaving."

"Thank you sir."

Ye Wanzhen took small steps and came to a chair far away from Situ Jin. She sat down neatly by the edge of the chair, lowered her head and picked her fingers uneasily.

Situ Jin laughed secretly, this girl was sitting on a chair with a big basket on her back, the basket took up more space than her, and that girl was about to fall off the chair, don't you think the basket is in the way?It's really like a kitten breaking into a strange place, shy and reserved, but it really looks like her big brother everywhere.

"Put down the pannier. It looks heavy. What's in it?" Situ Jin's tone was much gentler.

When Ye Wanzhen heard this, she hurriedly stood up and said, "If you want to tell my lord, here are all the fur bags that my elder brother bought for relatives in my hometown. There are a hundred of them."

"He asked you to take it home?"

"Yes. My relatives in my hometown often ask my eldest brother to buy some goods in the town. After my eldest brother buys them, I will put them in the house, and then I will take them out and send them back to my hometown. Last time my eldest brother asked me to send home a bag of rice. Ten catties of melons and vegetables."

"You pick it up and deliver it yourself?"

"Yes."

"You walked more than 40 miles by yourself?"

"Yes."

Situ Jin couldn't help frowning, a bag of rice was at least several tens of catties, plus melons and vegetables, the basket could hold about a hundred catties, such a little girl walked home alone under the scorching sun with heavy goods on her back, Ye Jian How did brother Qiu do it?

Ye Wanzhen nodded: "Second sister, I don't have much strength, but I am very capable, not as weak as it looks on the surface. Although the second sister is working in Shui Yunshang, I have to go home to visit at least once in five days Parents, go to the fields to do some farm work, and go to the mountains to raise livestock."

"You don't have to be reserved when you sit down and talk."

Situ Jin signaled her to sit down, Ye Wanzhen had to sit down carefully again.

"What's the situation in your family now?" Situ Jin asked with her chin propped up.

"My lord, my family has three acres of Susukida, more than a dozen fur animals, and a few chickens. The whole family lives in a cave house. During the tax payment this year, my family paid [-] catties of grain. The three-headed beast, fortunately, this year, after paying the tax, there is still food to eat, so there is no need to drink skin soup every day. But the grandfather is old, the father is not in good health, the elder sister is born with a disease, the younger brother is not sensible, and the work at home is almost done by the mother. I do it alone, so I take time to go home to help my mother and relieve her of some hard work. Originally, my elder brother and I did these tasks together, but now he is rarely free, so every time I go home alone, I have a companion on the road nothing……"

The more Ye Wanzhen spoke, the more wronged she became, and finally she pursed her lips.

Situ Jin's frown deepened. He had known for a long time that Ye Jianqiu's family was poor, but he didn't understand it in detail. After hearing the words of the second sister of Ye's family, he felt a little heavy.But at the same time, he also admired that the child from a poor family has long been in charge of the family, and the girl in front of him is so hardworking and capable.

"That's really hard work for you. If you have any troubles in Qingyang, you can come to your brother Situ directly. Don't be afraid, and treat your brother Situ Jin as your own."

Ye Wanzhen said emotionally: "Brother Situ, the second sister really doesn't know what to say! To be honest, the second sister is actually very lonely in Qingyang. The work in the embroidery workshop is heavy and she is often exhausted. The second sister often misses her family and her father." Mother, I often cry half the night. Although the eldest brother is also in Qingyang, he has too many things to do. Until now, he is so busy that he still doesn’t know where Shui Yunshang is! Only when I have free time, I go to see the eldest brother, but the eldest brother Most people never see him."

Situ Jin couldn't help but frowned again.

Is Second Sister Ye complaining? Do you want him to give Ye Jianqiu more time to rest and visit relatives?Although Ye Jianqiu was sold to the mansion, Situ Jin did not regard Ye Jianqiu as a real person, nor did he have too much control over him. The other party could do whatever they wanted, and he never asked.

But Ye Jianqiu didn't seem to be that busy when he was in the mansion, why didn't he often go back to his hometown, or visit his sister who was working in Qingyang?He, the eldest brother of the Ye family, is indeed a little dereliction of duty, and he is not as sensible as his younger sister.

Ye Wanzhen's lies are very skillful, and most of the lies are mixed with the truth, and every sentence is burnt at both ends, leaving a way to explain the lie in the future.If someone doubts, it can be fooled.But after a long time, when people get to know her deeply, they absolutely don't want to deal with this kind of person anymore, it's too tiring!

Uncle Jin went forward to pour a cup of tea for Ye Wanzhen, and Ye Wanzhen stood up again in fear, and thanked Uncle Jin in a soft voice. Uncle Jin nodded and sat down again.

Uncle Jin didn't speak all the time, he sat idly beside Situ Jin with folded arms and listened to the conversation between the two, feeling faintly interested.

Although Ye Jianqiu is calm and reticent, but when he is happy, his smile is definitely from the heart, and his expression is also natural, which makes people feel very real and comfortable.

But this second sister... Seeing that she stood up every now and then to thank and salute, she really knew a lot of rules.But he dared not raise his head when speaking, and rarely looked directly at him. His face was as delicate as a lotus, his voice was as soft as a mosquito humming, his limbs were thin and fragile, and his stature was as short as his chest.It seemed that even if she did farm work at home, it wasn't as often as she said.

Just imagine that if a little girl wants to support a farmhouse with many mouths, she must have been trained in the wind, sand and scorching sun. She has long lost the freshness and freshness of a girl.Due to working all year round, he must have a look of strong eyes and strong limbs that can drive away wild dogs with a hoe in the field alone.

If not, how could she carry a hundred catties of grain, how could she push the heavy iron plow, and how could she move the charcoal on the mountain?Even if she encounters a bad person while walking on the road, she will be finished soon!

Seeing that the relationship is getting closer and the heat is almost ready, Ye Wanzhen then opened her mouth to reveal the real purpose of her trip: "Brother Situ, I have something to tell you."

Situ Jin raised her head and said to her, "Just say what's going on, don't be nervous."

"Yeah." Ye Wanzhen bit her lip, pretending to be a little scared and said: "A few days ago, I saw a man in black in Shui Yunshang, he could fly, and he flew high and floating..."

Situ Jin didn't take it seriously, smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, that is a thief in Qingyang, who only steals and never harms anyone."

"But……"

"Trust me. If you meet this man in black again, you should go to Yang Xiaomi. He is very interested in the thief."

Situ Jin thought to herself, this Second Sister Ye is very lucky to be able to see the real body of the thief.

Uncle Jin suddenly said: "The thief is a man or a woman, can you see clearly?"

"Well, my little sister can see clearly, it's a man, very tall."

Situ Jin and Uncle Jin looked at each other, and Situ Jin said: "Many thieves and disguises complement each other. Sometimes they pretend to be men and fashion women, and sometimes they dress up as old women and children with hanging buns. Confused."

That's right, the thief is still invisible!So Jin Bo nodded his head in the affirmative, and the two agreed unanimously.

"However, he looks very threatening, and I'm afraid it will cause trouble in Qingyang Town."

"Don't worry, Second Sister, you also saw him visit Shui Yunshang, but it didn't cause any bad consequences. Don't be afraid in the future, report my name, just go to Yang Xiaomi, he will definitely protect you. "

Her intuition was very accurate, the man in black looked unparalleled in wealth and splendor, he was definitely not a mere thief! !But Situ Jin ignored this, Ye Wanzhen's hopes were dashed, she secretly gritted her teeth.

Since Ye Wanzhen met the man in black that night, she has been waiting every night, but unfortunately, that man never came again.

Ye Wanzhen, who was extremely disappointed, sighed with grief and heartbroken. The occasional glimpse under the moon that day was an excellent opportunity for her, but she lost it!

It is said that Lady Zhen is a noble lady from Kyoto who lived in Qingyang. She is beautiful and dignified, kind-hearted, and behaves like everyone else. She is almost a perfect woman.Even so, Ye Wanzhen could still sense that Lady Zhen was not someone special to him.

Ye Wanzhen feels that all the women in the world are like dust in front of such a noble and elegant person, and the word "exclusively favored" will never exist in his dictionary.

She thought for a long time, and decided to give up looking for clues from Mrs. Zhen, because once Mrs. Zhen realized her intentions, she might not be able to stay with Shui Yunshang for a day.After leaving Shui Yunshang, she has no place to live, no source of funds, and even the most basic life cannot be guaranteed.How can I find someone when I can’t get enough to eat?

That night, it was as if she had a dream that she would never forget, and the man in black who was like a nocturnal spirit was deeply imprinted in her heart.She envied the man in black for stepping on the bricks and tiles on the roof, the bluestone slabs he walked on, even the door he pushed open, the chair he sat on, the piano he played, and the wine glass that touched his lips. All envious!Because, he touched...

Everything he touches, whether dead or alive, is predestined for him.As for her own face that she peeped at that night, she didn't know how many years of fate she had cultivated!

She was unwilling to let fate dissolve like morning dew, she wanted to find him, and tried her best to force him to show up!

It would be a big taboo to reveal the whereabouts of the man in black to outsiders, and the man in black would most likely kill her!But Ye Wanzhen didn't care, she only cared that she didn't even have the qualifications to be an enemy.

Ye Wanzhen knew in her heart that she was just a grasshopper, as tiny as an ant.She doesn't have a strong family background, she doesn't have magical powers, and she doesn't have an alluring beauty. Why should she stand side by side with him?I'm afraid I can't even touch the corner of the other party's clothes!

It is said that obsessively intoxicating a person can either get him or destroy him.But, if you don't even have the chance to bend down and kneel down, what should you do if the world is so far away?

The only way is to find a way to make him loathe, despise, hate... In short, it is better than being a stranger!No matter how ugly or embarrassing it is, as long as two people have a little intersection in their lives, that's enough!

Some people's love is so cheap to the bone!

The first thing she thought of was Yang Xiaomi, but she quickly denied it.The same kind knows the same kind very well, and Yang Xiaomi is a guy who knows everything from right to left, and has more eyes than lotus roots. It is impossible for him to take her affairs seriously.If Yang Xiaomi became interested and found the man in black, he would definitely make friends with the man in black alone, and leave her, Ye Wanzhen, out of the sky!

So she thought of Situ Jin.

Situ Jin is a well-known hot-blooded young man in Qingyang Town. He has a straightforward personality and a bold temper. She, Ye Wanzhen, will not be left behind.

But Ye Wanzhen didn't expect that Situ Jin didn't dare to be interested at all, which made Ye Wanzhen very upset.

叶婉珍端着茶碗悄悄打量司徒瑾，只见他低头坐在案桌前，正翻看什么，手指修长有力可见骨脉，从这个角度看上去，他鼻梁高挺，睫毛浓密，浅麦色的肌肤如丝绸般细腻，一身皮甲制成的刚硬的战袍，肩膀上垂落几络柔软的碎长发，英俊中又透露着几分不羁。
