Yu Tang and the others didn't want Mrs. Chen to worry, so they quickly changed their smiling faces and greeted Mrs. Chen relaxedly: "Here we come!"
Yu Wen even asked: "What dishes did you cook today? A Yuan stayed at home for dinner, did you cook a few more dishes?"
"Don't worry!" Mrs. Chen smiled, "I asked Ah Shao to buy some stewed vegetables, and I also made a couple of drinks. You two, uncle and nephew, have a good drink."
Yu Wen thought for a while, and said: "Let Shuangtao go and call brother here too! He's busy with things in the shop these days, and we two brothers haven't been drinking together for some days."
Especially when something like this happened at home, and he was all responsible, but he still couldn't explain it clearly to his brother, Yu Wen was very depressed.
Chen didn't think much about it.
The two families used to live next to each other, and whoever made something delicious would send a bowl over even if they asked the other party to eat.
She took some broken silver and asked A Shao to bring some wine back, and ordered Shuangtao to invite Yu Bo and Wang Shi.
The two came over quickly.
The Yu family didn't have so many rules, the whole family ate and talked around the table.
Yu Bo wanted to go to Jiangxi: "Some of the molds and picture plates at home have been burned, and some of them are our family's family patterns, which can't be repaired in a short while. I'll see the shop that sold us lacquerware last time." It's also pretty good. I wonder if I can talk to the boss and introduce some masters to our shop. Besides, you are a scholar and know a lot of scholars. See if you can help find a painter at home. You have to repaint Get out those molds and plates."
Yu Wen's paintings are quite good, and he has a few close friends in this field. He said: "I'll go and find out tomorrow." Then he told about Yu Yuan: "Let him help me travel to Hangzhou City."
Yu Bo not only agreed, but also told Yu Yuan to help Yu Wen with his affairs.
Mrs. Wang pulled Mrs. Chen to talk about Yu Tang: "The child of Wei's family is also past March 7, so Atang's marriage is about to be brought up again. Although Atang is not very old, if it is delayed like this Go on, I'm afraid I will grow old!"
"I know." Chen said in a low voice, "I've already made an appointment with the official media, and when the March 7th at Wei's side is over, I'll officially start helping Atang to meet people."
Yu Tang feels like sitting on pins and needles.
If Wei Xiaoshan's death was related to the Li family, she would be harming others by discussing marriage with any family at this time.
Yu Tang felt that he had to find Wei Xiaochuan as soon as possible.
That night, she asked A Shao to bring a letter to Wei Xiaochuan.
Wei Xiaochuan didn't want to see Yu Tang at first, but Yu Tang said he wanted to ask him about Wei Xiaoshan. He thought that his second brother valued Yu Tang so much when he was alive, and the Yu family didn't go there again for the sake of his second brother. Looking at him, it can be regarded as doing his best for the second brother, so he agreed.
Because Wei Xiaochuan still had classes, the two agreed to meet at a small restaurant near the county school at noon and have lunch together by the way.
Yu Tang borrowed Ma Xiuniang's name to meet Wei Xiaochuan.
The place was arranged by Wei Xiaochuan, and the time was also chosen by Wei Xiaochuan.
Yu Tang did not expect Wei Xiaochuan to be so careful.
Although the small restaurant is small, it is clean and tidy. However, Wei Xiaochuan asked the boss for a small room in the back kitchen, which looked like the place where the boss eats. Next to the small room is the back door of the small restaurant. Going out from the back door is a secluded alley, which leads directly to the busy streets. Xiaomeixi's river house, out of Xiaomeixi's river house, people can be like water droplets in the sea, immediately blend into it, and soon disappear.
Three years old. No wonder everyone in the Wei family thought he was the most promising among the brothers.
When Yu Tang arrived, Wei Xiaochuan was already sitting at the table waiting for her. When she took off her veiled cap, he said to Yu Tang with a straight face: "I am a poor student, and I still rely on my family to eat and drink, so I can only invite Miss Yu in this small restaurant. Please forgive me After finishing speaking, he beckoned to the shop waiter, and said: "Give me a serving of your signature dish Xiaochaorou and stir-fried vegetables." Then he explained to Yu Tang: "Let's make a long story short, I will order more later. Go back to class and review your books."
Even though he didn't have a lot of money, he pretended to be a man and invited her to dinner. He only ordered two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, and it was called the signature of this restaurant.
Insanely cute!
If it weren't for Yu Tang's preoccupation, he might have laughed out loud.
"I originally wanted to talk to you. It doesn't matter what you eat." Yu Tang was concerned about his self-esteem, and said in a gentle and authentic tone, "I will treat you to delicious food when I have a chance in the future when you are not in school."
Wei Xiaochuan curled his lips disapprovingly, and said when Xiaoer served them tea and no one else was present: "What do you want to ask me?"
Yu Tang had no intention of talking about this matter in front of outsiders. After Xiao Er served tea and retreated, she said: "You eat first, we will talk after eating."
She was afraid to ask what Wei Xiaochuan couldn't eat anymore, and Wei Xiaochuan was taught by his family to "never speak when eating, never talk when sleeping", so he didn't talk when eating.
One is not in the mood, the other is in a hurry, and the two will soon be full.
The waiter removed the plate and came in with two cups of tea.
Yu Tang cut to the chase without being polite, and said directly: "I heard you say that your second brother is very good at swimming, and he is not the kind of person who doesn't know the importance of water. Then the night before your second brother passed away, who was it with your second brother? together?"
"Me!" Wei Xiaochuan said indifferently, "I am the youngest in the family, and my elder brother has to help my father with things. I was brought up with the help of my second and third elder brothers since I was a child."
So their relationship is great!
Yu Tang said: "What kind of person is your second brother?"
Hearing this, Wei Xiaochuan immediately showed alertness in his eyes, and said, "Why are you asking this?"
Yu Tang said: "I just want to ask."
The day before the blind date, the two brothers of the Wei family had a fight, and Wei Xiaochuan had a bad impression of Yu Tang, so he wanted to see what kind of woman caused his family to quarrel. As a result, when we got there, Wei Xiaoshan sank, but Yu Tang was indifferent. Wei Xiaochuan felt that his brother was not up to date, and was very angry.
Wei Xiaochuan wondered, could it be that Miss Yu's family actually fell in love with my second brother? Just didn't see it at the time
In this case, he should take pity on Miss Yu and tell her about his second brother.
Wei Xiaochuan thought for a while, and said: "My second brother is very kind, filial and obedient. When we brothers are playing together, my second brother is either helping my mother cook, or going down the river to fish , add something to the family... "
"You also told me last time that your second brother's water skills are very good. Is it because he often fishes in the river?" Yu Tang suddenly interrupted him, and said, "Then your second brother is very fond of the nearby small river. Xi should also be very familiar with it?"
Wei Xiaochuan felt that Yu Tang's behavior was a little strange, but he didn't think too much about it, and said, "Yes. In the early years, when our family was fighting with other people's for water, my second brother took us to dig a river from the mountain quietly. Xiaogou came to our farm. And we never lack small fish and shrimps to eat, so my second brother's skill in cooking fish and shrimps is better than my mother's... "
Yu Tang's heart was pounding uncontrollably, as if it was about to jump out of her chest in the next moment.
She couldn't help covering her chest, and said: "You said your second brother is very obedient, so he should say hello to his family wherever he goes, right? If your mother doesn't let him go fishing, will he listen?"
"Of course I will!" Wei Xiaochuan said without thinking, "People in our family will greet the elders when they go out. This is the most basic etiquette. Don't you say hello to the people at home when you go out?"
He felt that Yu Tang was questioning their family's tutor, puffing his cheeks and looking very angry.
"I'm just asking casually." Yu Tang smiled a little reluctantly, and said, "I always feel that boys are naughtier than girls, and they may not be so well-behaved."
Wei Xiaochuan didn't take it seriously, and said: "You think my second brother really beat my third brother, so my mother let my second brother go on a blind date with you? That's because my second brother is the most honest person, my mother Mom said, if your mind is too active, you can’t be a door-to-door son-in-law. At that time, when others gossip a few words and have resentment in your heart, how can you live a good life? If life is not good, others will still say that our tutor There is no way to marry. That's not marriage, that's enmity."
Yu Tang was taken aback for a moment, and bitterness filled his heart one after another.
How wonderful it would be if there were no such accidents!
Although she was at a loss at first, but after living together for a long time, she will definitely like Shangwei Xiaoshan.
The corners of Yu Tang's eyes suddenly became moist.
She lowered her head and said softly: "Then your second brother went out to fish in the middle of the night, why didn't you follow?"
After hearing this, Wei Xiaochuan said angrily: "That's why those grandmas say that once you have a daughter-in-law, you forget about your mother. It's all you! Otherwise, how could my second brother have such great skills, and ran out without anyone saying a word."
Yu Tang's face turned pale, and he said: "You can't wrong me like this. It's not that I let your second brother fish. Besides, what does my marriage have to do with fishing? The one who proposes marriage is the wild goose, he doesn't go into the mountains Catching wild geese, what kind of fish are you catching!"
Wei Xiaochuan was speechless, then became angry again, and said: "It's you, it's you. If it weren't for you, why would my second brother go out quietly? My third brother is also good at swimming. If he tells us, my third brother Brother will definitely go with him. Even if you don’t go with him, if he doesn’t come back so late, Dad will call us brothers to look for him..." He said, his eyes were wet: "I The second brother changed because he met you, he was not like this before he met you... "
Yu Tang's hands were trembling: "How can you say that? There should be people fishing in your farm, right? Has no one seen your second brother come and go?"
Wei Xiaochuan was stunned, and murmured: "Yes! Why didn't anyone see it? Although the farm belongs to our family, our family is not the kind of family that treats others harshly. The tenants are not having a good life. All the fish and shrimps in the farm are caught by them, and they serve as dishes for the festival. We don’t know when my second brother went out. Could it be that the fishers in the farm didn’t see it? But my second brother drowned at that time. In the small river where he usually goes?"
Yu Tang couldn't hold it back, closed his eyes, and let the tears flow wantonly in his eyes.
Wei Xiaochuan was surprised: "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
Yu Tang managed to open his eyes, pretending to be nonchalant, took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his eyes, and said, "I've been doing hairdressing at home these days, maybe it hurt my eyes."
Wei Xiaochuan looked at her suspiciously.
But Yu Tang couldn't write any more.
If Wei Xiaoshan was implicated by her, how would she explain to the Wei family? How does she face her conscience
Such a good person lost his life because of a blind date with her, because he was too good.
How could she still have the face to live in this world
Yu Tang sat across from Wei Xiaochuan, she didn't dare to look up at Wei Xiaochuan, she didn't even know how she walked back.
"Miss!" Mrs. Chen carried her into the door and blamed Shuangtao who followed her, "How do you serve Miss? Do you do this? Fortunately, there are only a few people in this house. If there are too many people here, you Could it be that you can't even tell the difference between the south, the south, and the north!"
Listening to Mrs. Chen's scolding, Yu Tang went back to the room stepping up and down, and asked Shuangtao to find Ah Shao.
Mrs. Chen hurriedly said: "I'll wait for you to take a breath before I have anything to say. You can rest for me now. I saw that there are still several bird's nests that someone gave to my wife last time. I'll go and cook one for you right now. You eat and take a good rest for a while."
Because Mrs. Chen has been ill all year round, Mrs. Chen is especially good at making medicinal food, and also good at handling supplements such as bird's nest and abalone.
Yu Tang was very anxious, afraid that things would change if it was too late, he insisted on asking Shuangtao to find Ah Shao, and said: "I just asked him to buy something for me, what effort did it take? You let me get what I wanted, and lie down quickly." It's serious."
Mrs. Chen had no choice but to ask Ah Shao to come in.
Yu Tang managed to get rid of Mrs. Chen and Shuangtao, and told Ah Shao to investigate Wei Xiaoshan: "Look who was the first to discover Wei Xiaoshan? In which river did Wei Xiaoshan drown? Who was the last to see Wei Xiaoshan in the farm?" To Wei Xiaoshan? Has anyone met Wei Xiaoshan who went out to fish in the middle of the night?" Then A Shao swore: "No one can tell. If someone asks, you can say that I am not feeling well, and let you go to the temple to help Burn incense, do you understand?"
Ah Shao nodded hurriedly, and went to Wei's farm.
Yu Tang tossed and turned, didn't sleep well, woke up in the morning and looked in the mirror, and found that she had dark circles under her eyes at a young age.
Mrs. Chen asked her: "What's wrong with your father? He stayed in the study all day and stared at the painting that Lu Xiucai sold to our family. Isn't that a fake painting?"
Yu Tang said: "Shopkeeper Tong said that this imitation is very real, and it is worth a few taels of silver. You know that daddy likes to draw, maybe daddy is comparing this painting to find a difference? "
Chen didn't understand this, angrily told them to take care of their bodies, and said: "There are many good things in this world, don't look at them and you won't be able to move your feet."
Yu Tang agreed with a smile, and beat Chen's arm fawningly.
Ah Shao will be back in the afternoon.
He also felt something unusual here, and whispered to Yu Tang: "The first person who found the body of the second son of the Wei family was a woman of the Wei family who served Mrs. Wei. She went to pour Yexiang early in the morning and found the body of the Wei family The second son is floating in the small river not far from the Wei family. As for when the second son of the Wei family went to catch fish, and when exactly what happened, no one knows, and no one saw it."
He repeated "don't know" and "didn't see" twice.
