Chapter 245 I'm a bit tired of them
"Cousin, is there an emergency at home?" He Shulin hurried over and asked anxiously when he saw Wen Ruyu.
"Nothing, it's just that we brothers are studying in the same town, but we haven't seen each other for a long time. I missed you very much, so I specially asked you to come and chat today!"
He Shulin heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, "That's good!"
At this time, Jiang Youzhen was already looking at the other person. He was of medium height, thin build, handsome appearance, and slightly yellow skin.
His appearance was OK, but he looked malnourished. Fortunately, his shoulders were broad and strong, and he didn't look like a bookworm who didn't care about the outside world.
But this guy is really poor! He is wearing an indigo-colored, cross-collared, coarse cloth gown with frayed cuffs and collar, and a pair of black cloth shoes on his feet. You can see that the toes are severely worn, and the thumb is almost exposed.
This outfit is similar to the one Jiang Youzhen wore when he first came here, but Jiang Youzhen was a little worse off at that time. It was made of coarse cloth and had patches on it, and the pair of cloth shoes on his feet were passed around in his family.
But since my family had sent me to study, they would usually have one or two sets of fine cotton clothes to decorate the house for the sake of respectability. If you couldn't even afford one set, you were really poor.
He Shulin noticed someone was looking at him, so he looked over. He was stunned.
What a handsome young man, with a tall and slender figure, but standing proudly like a pine or cypress.
Under the sunlight, those clear eyes looked like the sparkling surface of a river. He had never seen such bright eyes.
"Shulin, this is our new junior brother who just came to our private school. His last name is Jiang." Wen Ruyu couldn't help but laugh as he looked at his cousin who looked a little dazed.
Huang Xue Ning on the side sighed twice, another vulgar person who was deceived by appearance. However, Jiang Youzhen was extremely handsome, so it was not surprising to be dumbfounded. Moreover, he found that Jiang Youzhen looked better than when he came to the private school. What a magical thing.
Fortunately, this guy is not a woman, otherwise I would have to ask him to marry me.
"Hello, Senior Brother He!" Jiang Youzhen immediately saluted, his eyes falling on the edge of his muddy shoes.
He Shulin returned the greeting somewhat shyly, "Junior Brother Jiang!"
Wen Ruyu turned to look at Jiang Youzhen. The boy in front of him smiled. His usually clear eyes were blurred, as if he was drunk. He could actually see some tenderness in them.
However, everything is just an appearance. Jiang Youzhen seems warm on the surface, but in fact he is very distant in nature.
The four of them walked quickly into the restaurant. The waiter came to greet them and Jiang Youzhen asked the three of them to keep an eye on them.
Huang Xue Ning was as lively as ever. He first ordered three signature dishes, which were the ones that Jiang Youzhen had sold to the restaurant before.
They have tried it, but He Shulin has not. Huang Xue Ning is sometimes crazy when dealing with people, but most of the time he is able to take everything into consideration.
After ordering three more dishes, Huang Xue Ning finally ordered a fish paste and Poria cocos cake.
"The fish paste and tuckahoe cake they made is really unique. Even in the capital, it doesn't taste this good. It's not fishy or greasy, and it's very refreshing. Junior brother Jiang likes it, so eat more."
When Huang Xue Ning said this, the other three people looked at him, including Jiang Youzhen.
She really liked this pastry. She only ate one more piece at the last meal, but she didn't expect that this boy would find it. Sure enough, the person who could stay with Wen Ruyu was not an ordinary person.
In the book, Huang Xue Ning is not only a close military advisor to Wen Ruyu, but also a confidant who shares life and death with her.
Wen Ruyu looked at Huang Xue Ning in surprise. How come he didn't know that this kid was so observant? Last time he noticed that Jiang Youzhen liked this pastry, but he didn't expect that this kid also noticed it?
Jiang Youzhen's eyes swept back and forth between the two of them. When he saw their eye contact, he immediately imagined a 10,000-word essay in his mind: Would Wen Ruyu be jealous? No way? No way?
What should I do? She is a little bit obsessed with them. My CP will definitely not end up being together. Jiang Youzhen put on a mysterious smile on his face.
A light cough was heard, and He Shulin felt that the atmosphere was inexplicably strange.
"Senior Brother He, what do you like to eat?" Jiang Youzhen specifically asked the waiter to introduce it to He Shulin. She did not forget the purpose of her visit today.
"No, no, there are too many dishes." He Shulin quickly refused. He could see that it was not his cousin who was treating him today.
His own cousin couldn't afford such a banquet. He knew Huang Xue Ning, and this junior brother Jiang was also dressed richly, but he didn't know who of the two was the host.
But he always felt that his cousin didn't ask him to come today just for a meal.
Jiang Youzhen looked at the other person's hand holding the tea bowl, which was a little rough. Even Wen Ruyu, who came from a poor family, had long and slender fingers. You could tell from her hands whether she did rough work or not.
The dishes were served quickly, and Jiang Youzhen came up with an idea, "Brothers, would you like to try his osmanthus wine? It was brewed last autumn, and it's very mellow."
Huang Xue Ning was confused. Did this store still have last year's osmanthus wine? Wasn't it sold out?
Wen Ruyu didn't know how to respond, as he had to go to school in the afternoon. But he also understood what Jiang Youzhen meant. Did he want to see how his cousin behaved after drinking?
"That's great, let's have a couple of drinks, it's no problem." Huang Xue Ning is now Jiang Youzhen's supporting actor. For some reason, he can't help but agree with Jiang Youzhen's words, so that Jiang Youzhen will give him a smile.
The smiling, sparkling eyes made Huang Xue Ning laugh along with him involuntarily. In fact, Jiang Youzhen is quite cute, at least very contagious, and just looking at him makes one feel good.
"I have to go back early this afternoon. I have been working on the spring ploughing these past two days at home. I am afraid I will delay things, so I will not drink. I apologize to you all for having a great time drinking."
He Shulin quickly picked up the tea bowl and said, "I'll use tea instead of wine to toast you all."
As he said this he drank it all in one gulp, and Jiang Youzhen felt somewhat satisfied.
He didn't feel inferior because of his poor family, nor did he not serve the country. That's great! He seems to have a good character. My parents are pretty good at judging people.
In fact, the second sister and this man have never met, which is why I have to complain about the blind marriage in ancient times. Before, the eldest sister and her husband had at least met each other, and this man was the one that my parents saw and said was good, so they decided to get married.
Two days later, the family will prepare for a warm-pot banquet to celebrate the move, and after the whole family moves in, the engagement day will be five days later.
"Since Senior Brother He is not in a position to drink, let's drink another day!"
Wen Ruyu: ...So my opinion doesn't matter? You didn't even ask me.
Because of the outgoing Huang Xue Ning, and the fact that people are not allowed to talk during meals, the atmosphere was quite harmonious. After the meal, Huang Xue Ning had no pressure to say something to ease the atmosphere.
The four of them got to know each other after the meal. Jiang Youzhen observed He Shulin's every move during the meal. Perhaps because of the presence of Jiang Youzhen, a stranger, he was a little reserved, but his eating habits were okay.
It's not elegant, but it's slow and leisurely. He doesn't wolf down the food, nor does he smack his lips or eat from the bowl while occupying the pot.
"How is it? Are you relieved, Junior Brother?"
In the carriage, Wen Ruyu and Jiang Youzhen were riding in the same carriage, he said with a smile.
