Peerless luthier

Walking around, I didn't meet many servants along the way, which made Zhong Yi feel a little curious.

Zhong Yi asked: "Mother, are there not many servants in Grandpa's house?"

Yan Hui smiled slightly: "I guess your grandma asked them to prepare something for us."

Zhong Yi is still confused.

When we got to the backyard, my mother's former residence, the answer was ready to come out.

The courtyard was cleaned cleanly, but there were still many maids cleaning the ground.When they came around from the garden, a sharp-eyed maid had already spotted them.

"Madam, Miss San and Uncle San are back."

"What? Where?"

A graceful and well-maintained middle-aged woman walked out quickly from the door: "Where is it? Where is it..."

Seeing them, Shen Lan was stunned: "Hui'er...my Hui'er is back...Really, let Wei Niang see—"

Yan Hui hurriedly walked in front of Shen Lan, with tears rolling down her eyes, she choked up and said, "Mother..."

Shen Lan put her arms around Yan Hui gently: "Don't cry, don't cry, I'm happy for my mother, I've been looking forward to it for so many days... finally came back."

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a while, Shen Lan saw Zhong Han and smiled slightly: "This is Huier's husband-in-law."

Zhong Han respectfully saluted: "I'm calling you Zhong Han, I've seen my wife."

Shen Lan walked a few steps closer, seeing Zhong Han's clear and handsome face, she felt a little satisfied: "It's been a long time since I saw him. I heard that he is a court luthier. He is a talent. Our Hui'er fell in love with him You, after so many years, you have treated her well, and I feel at ease a lot." She looked at Yan Hui's nervous expression, and smiled lightly: "Master Zhongqin, it's time for you to change your mind."

Zhong Han and Yan Hui looked at each other, excited in their hearts, and hurriedly saluted: "My lord mother-in-law."

Shen Lan nodded, and looked at Zhong Yi who was standing on the side. After all, she was her grandson, and she still had a feeling of love.

Seeing him looking at her curiously, Shen Lan smiled: "Good grandson, come and show grandma."

Zhong Yi approached according to her words, and said, "Grandma."

Shen Lan patted his head: "Good boy, he's a handsome young man already, he's almost as tall as Ah Li."

Zhong Yi shook her head: "Not as tall as my brother."

Shen Lan carefully looked at Zhong Yi's face, and said, "Why do you look a little like your grandfather?"

Yan Hui answered: "Sometimes it is indeed somewhat similar to my father."

Shen Lan smiled: "Now your grandpa must like you even more." She took Zhong Yi's hand and walked inside: "Grandma has sent people to clean the house long ago, and the bedding has been dried to keep it warm. ..."

Listening to Shen Lan's rambling, Yan Hui and Zhong Han felt a little relieved.

It seems that this level is almost passable.

Shen Lan pulled Zhong Yi to sit down at the round table: "Come and see, what snacks do you like?"

The table was covered with silk cloth embroidered with purple lilac, and there were a lot of snacks on it. Zhong Yi looked at the snacks made into balls and sprinkled with shredded coconut, and reached out to grab them.

Shen Lan said "Hey", Zhong Yi immediately looked up at Shen Lan.

I saw Shen Lan winking, and a moment later, the big maid standing behind her handed Zhong Yi a warm towel: "Master, wipe your hands."

Zhong Yi wiped her hands obediently, and Shen Lan smiled: "Eat, your hands must be clean to grasp things."

Zhong Yi grabbed some nuts from the plate and listened to Shen Lan talking with her parents.

While talking, I heard the servants outside shouting: "Master, Eldest Young Master."

Yan Hui and Zhong Han were taken aback for a moment, and immediately looked towards the door.

Zhong Yi also quickly put down the nuts and stood up.

I saw a middle-aged man with good looks and good looks coming in the door, wearing a black brocade robe. He was presumably Zhong Yi's grandfather. He was tall and strong, with a wheat-colored complexion and a beard on his chin. Angry and mighty.

Behind him was a man about 30 years old, wearing a dark green official uniform, his face was somewhat similar to that of a middle-aged man, giving people a sense of calmness.

Yan Zhuangyu looked at his daughter who had been away for many years and looked at him blankly. Although his heart was excited, there was no trace on his face: "It's going well along the way."

Yan Hui walked in front of Yan Zhuangyu, her eyes were moist: "Father."

Yan Zhuangyu took a deep breath and nodded.

Zhong Han saluted Yan Zhuangyu.

Yan Zhuangyu looked at Zhong Han's lowered head, and said calmly, "Get up."

Zhong Han stood up and said gently, "Thank you, Father-in-law."

Hearing Zhong Han's address, Yan Zhuangyu didn't say anything, but just gave a faint "hmm".

Yan Yi's eyes moved slightly: "Third Sister, how have you been in recent years?"

Yan Hui hurriedly said: "Okay, everything is fine... It's been a while since I saw my eldest brother."

Yan Yi smiled and said: "Father told you to go home earlier, and your second brother will come back tonight."

Seeing that Yan Zhuangyu's attitude was still calm, Shen Lan breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Master, do you think Xiaoyi looks a bit like you?"

It was only at this moment that everyone noticed Zhong Yi who was silent on the side. Zhong Yi originally wanted to call him Grandpa and Uncle, but seeing these two people, unfamiliar relatives, made him a little bit speechless.

Yan Zhuangyu sized up Zhong Yi, raised his eyebrows slightly: "Where does it look like?"

Yan Zhuangyu is tall and has a regular face. His grandson has fair skin and mild eyebrows. At first glance, he really doesn't look like him.

Shen Lan glared at him lightly: "Are you really, this facial features don't look like you?"

Yan Yi looked at it for a while, and suddenly said: "It's a bit like my father when he was young, with a similar look."

So Yan Zhuangyu frowned, and fixed Zhong Yi's small face with his usual sharp eyes.

Zhong Yi: "..."

This kind of atmosphere of being judged by oneself for the first time (but in fact it is a relative) is really embarrassing.

Shen Lan saw Zhong Yi's uneasiness, and hugged him in her arms: "Okay, okay, don't be fooled if you don't see it, and you will have dinner later, boss, go to the door to have a look, maybe the boss Two will be back."

Yan Yi muttered, "It's cold at the door."

Yan Zhuangyu stared: "Your mother told you to go, but don't go!"

Yan Yi straightened his back: "Yes!"

Then he strode away immediately.

After witnessing this scene, Yan Hui didn't seem much surprised.

But the father and son of the Zhong family felt a little strange. It seemed that Yan Zhuangyu was not as serious as he appeared on the surface, and Yan Yi was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

Then they took care of their luggage and packed it up quickly. Zhong Yi looked at the layout of the spacious room and felt very comfortable. There were daffodils in the room, which were beautiful and fragrant. Shen Lan pulled Yan Hui's hands, talking about something.

Zhong Han stood in front of the door, watching the snowflakes slowly falling from the sky.

Zhong Yi was in a daze, took out Ah Li's letter and carefully read it several times, and suddenly a shock came to her mind: I always felt that something was missing.

Zhong Yi frowned and paced around the house, but couldn't figure out why.

What's missing?

Zhong Yi thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, and lay down on the table with a headache.

Seeing Zhong Han, he walked over quickly and worried: "Xiaoyi, what's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?"

Zhong Yi shook her head: "Daddy, think about it for me, am I missing something?"

Zhong Han was puzzled: "What?"

Zhong Yi frowned: "I can't remember, there seems to be something wrong."

Zhong Han comforted: "Think slowly, don't worry."

Zhong Yi sighed, always feeling a little disturbed quietly...

"Ah!" Zhong Yi jumped up suddenly: "Hua Tian!"

Zhong Han was taken aback for a moment, and saw Zhong Yi rushing out.

Shen Lan and Yan Hui were talking outside, when they saw Zhong Yi running out of the door, they quickly stopped: "Xiao Yi! Where are you going?"

Zhong Yi quickly stabilized her feet, turned her head and said anxiously: "The flower field is gone."

Shen Lan was puzzled: "Who is Huatian?"

Yan Hui said: "It's Xiaoyi's cat, just now... hey, I didn't see it just now."

Seeing Zhong Yi's flustered look, Zhong Han said, "It was still there when I entered the door, so it must be inside the mansion, don't worry."

Zhong Yi said: "It's probably on the other side of the corridor, I'll look for it."

After speaking, he rushed out.

"It's still snowing outside, kid." Yan Hui shook her head.

Shen Lan sent someone to look for it, and asked, "What does this cat look like?"

Zhong Han said: "It's flower-colored, and the four paws are white... a bit fat."

This side sent someone to look for it, and Zhong Yi had already run to the corridor in the snow.

"Flower field - flower field -"

Zhong Yi looked around, the grass had already been pruned, the place was clean, and there was nowhere to hide a cat of various colors.

Zhong Yi was anxious, walked to the corner of the corridor, looked up, and saw a slender figure that she was familiar with but she hadn't seen in a year standing in front of her.

The cold wind blew into the corridor, his black hair fluttered slightly with the wind, snowflakes stained his hair and his shoulders.

"Ah Li..."

Zhong Yi was surprised, or rather dumbfounded, watching him approach slowly, and didn't wake up until he was held in his arms.

He slightly pushed Ah Li away, looked at the handsome face close at hand, but opened his mouth not knowing what to say.

Zhong Li smiled lightly, his voice low and sweet.

"Ah Li, your voice has changed a bit."

"Ah."

Zhong Li's voice gradually tended to be deep and thick, with a slight nasal sound.

"Ah Li, you are much, much taller than me now."

"Ah."

"Ah Li..."

"Hush -- don't talk." Zhong Li interrupted him, and hugged him again: "Let me hug you for a while."

Zhong Yi blushed a little: "..."

The feeling of being held in Ah Li's arms seemed so comfortable. From childhood to adulthood, he was hugged by Ah Li quite a few times. This time, the hug after the reunion made Zhong Yi inexplicably difficult to breathe.

Is this exciting?

Zhong Yi smiled, stretched out his arms to wrap around Zhong Li's waist, and buried his head in Zhong Li's chest.

After a while, when Zhong Yi felt as if she was about to fall asleep, she felt something pulling her clothes.

Ok?

Looking down, I found that Hua Tian, ​​who appeared out of nowhere, was actively trying to climb up.

Zhong Yi left Ah Li's embrace, squatted down, and picked up Hua Tian with a blank expression.

"Maybe you should explain, where did you go? Tell me!"

"Meow—" Hua Tian looked at Zhong Yi innocently.

Zhong Li asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhong Yi said: "Hmph, it disappeared suddenly. I couldn't find it anywhere, which made me anxious for a long time... Tell me honestly."

"Excuse me, is this your cat?"

Zhong Yi turned her head and saw a gentle smiling man standing a few steps away: "Forgive me, I just saw it outside the door of the room and thought it was cute, so I fed it some snacks. It suddenly ran out not long ago, and it turned out to be the owner."

"..." Zhong Yi thought about it along the way, probably put it down in the corridor, talked with his parents along the way, and lost it without paying attention.

Zhong Yi smiled and said, "Thanks for your care."

The man smiled modestly, saw the silent Zhong Li, and suddenly said: "Zhong Li? You're back, long time no see."

Zhong Li said: "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Zhong Yi was slightly stunned: They knew each other?
