Qingfeng Xu Xu

"It's you, sir. Do you want to drink today?"Xu Qingjiu walked aimlessly after leaving the Wu Mansion. Inexplicably, he ended up at the restaurant where Xu Mulin had been drinking. The boss quickly recognized Xu Qingjiu, who had been there before, and greeted him warmly.

"Drink, why would you come to a restaurant if you don't drink? I can smell the aroma of wine in your restaurant from afar. If I didn't drink, wouldn't I have stayed in Taiyuan for so long in vain? Boss, are there seats in the private room upstairs?"

"Yes, yes, sir, please come upstairs."As he said that, the boss took the initiative to guide Xu Qingjiu from the front, and said in a very warm and polite manner:"Young master, are you here to play in Taiyuan?"

"That's right, I just didn't have much fun playing it."

"Did the young master not go to the right place? There are still many lively and interesting places in Taiyuan"

"maybe."Xu Qingjiu couldn't help but smile bitterly,"It might be......"

Seeing that Xu Qingjiu was hesitant to speak, the boss did not ask any more questions, and led Xu Qingjiu directly to a private room near the street,"Sir, how is it here? It's a nice day today, and it won't be cold if you sit here.""

"Very good. Let me have two bottles of wine first, and some side dishes as you like."

"Okay, sir, wait a moment, the wine will be here soon."

The less you want to be sober, the harder it is to get drunk. Xu Qingjiu drank from the sun up in the restaurant until he saw the afterglow covering the roof across the street, but he still felt too sober.

"You were too hard to find. Wu Yang and I spent a whole day looking for you outside."Wu Jinghua trotted upstairs, still out of breath, and began to scold Xu Qingjiu,"If you want to drink, you can drink at home. If you run out, you won't see anyone for a day. Seeing

Wu Jinghua coming, Xu Qingjiu also felt a little embarrassed,"Sorry, I just ran into Cui Bo when I was going out, so I said hello to him and asked him to convey it to you and Jihua. I will go back in a while." Got it"

"Forget it, we’ve all finished drinking here, then we’ll have a good time before going back. How about it? Do you want some more? I look at this jug. It looks like I’ve already drank a lot."

Xu Qingjiu glanced at the wine bottle on the table and said with a wry smile:"How do you count yourself having fun?"

"Your question is too profound. You can just be happy as long as you think you are happy. How can I know where your measure is? I've never drank much, so I really don't know."

"If you don’t even drink, then why open a restaurant?"

"This question is more profound than the previous one. However, I think that if I open a restaurant and watch those troubled people come to my restaurant, get drunk, and then live in a daze for a few hours, and when I wake up again, if I still want to avoid reality, then I could see them again in the restaurant the next day. Think about it, how interesting it is.

Xu Qingjiu sneered:"So you came out to find me just for fun?""

"Not when I first came out, but when I saw you just now, I was a little interested. I just saw that you were still not drunk after drinking so much. Is their wine mixed with too much water?"

"Maybe, I also want to get drunk, but you see, it doesn't seem to be of any use."Xu Qingjiu smiled bitterly, picked up the jug and drank fiercely,"I forgot who said it, but now I finally understand. People, sometimes it’s better to be confused. Everything is too clear to think about and see too clearly. It’s really too painful and tiring."

"At such a young age, I have a lot of emotions. What do you want to see clearly? Isn't it just that you had some conflicts with your senior brother? It's not like my brother, who stares at me all day long and insists on taking my life."After saying that, Wu Jinghua poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. He said with an ugly expression of disgust:"Why does this wine taste so bad? How did you drink so much?"

"What's the difference? It's all just hypocrisy."

"Hypocrisy? Your senior brother? Which eye did you see this with? I think your senior brother can't be more sincere to you. Don't be so dissatisfied. You have been accompanied by your senior brother since you were a child. I was the one who stalked my Jihua family."

Hearing this, Xu Qingjiu looked up at Wu Jinghua, unable to recall the meaning of Wu Jinghua's words.

"Why are you looking at me like that? No need to doubt, that's it, what's wrong, you look down on me?"It was uncomfortable to be stared at by Xu Qingjiu, Wu Jinghua confessed directly, but having said that, Wu Jinghua didn't think Xu Qingjiu would have that view.

"Of course not. I used to always wonder why you were always clinging to Jihua, and sometimes you would even complain. But now that I know the reason, I feel a little disgusted with you. I don’t know why Jihua fell in love with you. It’s really strange."

"Your eldest brother, I rely on sincerity and personal charm. Is there anything strange about it? Although Jihua did feel wronged by marrying me, as long as Jihua doesn't dislike me, who cares what you think?"

"It's good to have a confidant in life"

"I think you and your senior brother are pretty good, and having said that, I think what your senior brother said about you is right. Why are you still angry? Your tolerance is too small, and you have been angry for so many days. What the hell? When people in my house see you, they don’t dare to talk to you anymore."

"I just suddenly discovered that this affection is not really that deep for him. In this case, it is natural to position yourself and see your identity clearly, isn't it right?"

"Why isn't it deep enough? The more Wu Jinghua listened, the more confused she became,"Is there anything else besides what happened that day?""

"...hairpin..."

"hairpin? It's the jade hairpin you gave to your senior brother. What does it have to do with that hairpin? Did you also hear him talk about how he forgot to bring his money after drinking and left his hairpin in the restaurant? But that's not his fault, it's the boss who doesn't know what to do. And didn’t he get all the hairpins back later? I think he wears them every day."

"so what? To him, that hairpin is just a matter of money. Didn't he say so himself? Could it be that I misunderstood? So what if I wear it every day? Wouldn't it still be the same no matter what you change?"

That day, Wu Jinghua felt like he saw a touch of green at the door. He thought he had seen it wrong. It turned out to be Xu Qingjiu. But Wu Jinghua didn't know that Xu Mulin's sentence"It's just a matter of money" was okay. How to interpret

"I have something, can I ask you a favor?"

Wu Jinghua really couldn't figure it out. Hearing Xu Qingjiu change the subject again, he stopped arguing,"What's the matter?"

"Can you lend me some money for traveling expenses? I plan to get up early tomorrow morning and set off back to Tianzong."

The topic has changed, but what is the situation now? The pain in Wu Jinghua's heart has really reached the extreme

"Really want to leave? How many more days are you going to stay? Money is easy to talk about, I'll just give it to you, no matter what you say, you can borrow it or not."

"Okay, since Mr. Wu is so heroic, I won’t refuse."Xu Qingjiu did not directly answer Wu Jinghua's first two questions, but in fact, it was considered an answer.

"Where is your senior brother? Are you really not with him?"

"If he wants to go back, he can naturally go together. It's just the same journey, there is no difference."

Listening to Xu Qingjiu's sour words, Wu Jinghua had an inexplicable suspicion. Could it be that Xu Qingjiu likes Xu Mulin? Is this because she loves Xu Mulin? That's why she turned to resentment? Wu Jinghua took courage several times, but looked at Xu Mulin. I really can't afford to offend Qingjiu like this. It would be fine if he ends up getting beaten. But if Xu Mulin is innocently implicated again, it will really make matters worse.

"Then I will ask Jihua when I get back. If he is also planning to set off in the next few days, then we can just go together. Anyway, we are all on the way, and you will not be bored by traveling alone."

"Okay, then give me an answer after you ask so I can pack my things."After saying that, looking at Wu Jinghua's hesitant look, Xu Qingjiu had no choice but to continue:"I will tell my senior brother when I get back later."

"well...Speak nicely and don't quarrel.

Xu Qingjiu smiled, shook her head and said,"What's the fuss about?" It's just a superficial affection, it's not like they have become enemies."

As soon as the two separated at the door, Wu Jinghua hurriedly went to Li Jihua to tell him about Xu Qingjiu's departure. However, he set off early the next morning and was too late. In the end, Li Jihua had to go in person to persuade him. Xu Qingjiu. As soon as Li Jihua and Wu Jinghua arrived at the corridor, they saw Xu Qingjiu standing at the door of Xu Mulin

"Since senior brothers want to leave together, let's wait until Jihua and the others decide when to set off."Xu Qingjiu smiled at Xu Mulin who was standing inside the door.

"Light nine."Everything seemed to be normal. Li Jihua called out tentatively.

"Jihua is here, have we discussed it? I'm talking to my senior brother about this."Xu Qingjiu still smiled so kindly.

"Let's go together, but it's too early to leave tomorrow morning. Otherwise, pack your things tomorrow and set off the day after tomorrow. Qingjiu, do you think that's okay?"

"I think it's feasible. After all, four people traveling together are more prepared than traveling alone."

Xu Qingjiu only put forward his own point of view. Li Jihua naturally understood it, so he had to look at Xu Mulin again to confirm Xu Mulin's opinion.

"good"

"That being the case, it's settled. Jihua, you may have more things, so you can collect them slowly. If you need help, just ask."Xu Qingjiu spoke like a hidden weapon, leaving no room for others to interrupt,"I just ate outside, you guys can take care of the dinner yourself. I drank and felt a little dizzy, so I went back to rest first."After saying that, not only Wu Jinghua and Li Jihua, but also Xu Mulin also bowed his hands and saluted before turning back to the room.

When Xu Qingjiu and the others left the yard, Li Jinghua, Wu Jinghua and Wu Jinghua all sighed helplessly.

"Do you really want to be together? It won’t be like this all the way from now on."Although it was Wu Jinghua who first proposed the idea, at this moment I can't help but wonder whether this is really appropriate.

"But it was even more uneasy to let the two of them go alone."At this point, I have tried every possible way that I can think of, but it is of no use at all. Li Jihua is also very distressed, but if the two of them are allowed to go alone, then it is even more unclear how things will progress. Seeing Wu Jinghua standing by and not saying anything, Li Jihua thought Wu Jinghua was thinking of something else. However, seeing Wu Jinghua's expression becoming increasingly unclear, Li Jihua had no choice but to ask,"What are you thinking about?" Looking at you like this, I always feel like you are not thinking of good things."

Wu Jinghua smiled meaningfully, lowered his head and told Li Jihua about the conversation with Xu Qingjiu in the restaurant and his speculations in his ear. After listening, Li Jihua frowned and thought for a long time before saying:"If it's just It's simply because of the conflict between the brothers, so it's okay for us to help and persuade them. But if it's as you guessed, we shouldn't get involved. This kind of thing is something that the two of them have to face on their own. , what would happen if others got involved?"

"Senior Brother Xu seems to care about Qingjiu, but I can’t tell if he also has this kind of affection for Qingjiu. But after listening to Qingjiu’s words, I think it’s unlikely."

"Don't make any more guesses about this matter. I think it would be safer to go together, but if something happens on the road that involves your speculation, then we can only avoid it. If we get involved in this kind of thing randomly and it backfires, how can we make amends then? There's no point in apologizing."

Wu Jinghua nodded in agreement after hearing this.

"I know you have these senses, I'm just being verbose."Li Jihua looked at Wu Jinghua and smiled.

"No, not verbose at all. I just like hearing what Jihua says."

"Even if you don’t like it, I’ll tell you"

"Like it, really like it."No matter if someone is passing by, Wu Jinghua is always so grumpy,"By the way, will you send some food to Senior Brother Xu later? I don't think he will go out tonight or tomorrow."

"You are the master, you have to decide what to do, and you still have to ask？"

"You are also the master, so everything must be communicated through communication. I think Qingjiu just doesn't want to communicate with Senior Brother Xu, otherwise this problem might have been solved long ago"

"Qingjiu probably...He must be disappointed. If you want to communicate, you must have expectations. He may just not want to be disappointed again, just like he chose to stand outside the door and listen to us. At that time, he might have thought that there would be something different from what he guessed. We may not have thought anything inappropriate about what Senior Brother Xu said at the time, but for Qingjiu, it meant something different. We should not look at his feelings from our own perspective, or even think that we are more A wise person should persuade others to feel at ease."
