In the afternoon, half past four.

Wen house, courtyard in the ring.

This courtyard house located at the foot of the root of the imperial city of the imperial capital is in the oldest city in the ring, with open courtyards with eaves and ceilings, gray walls and ink tiles, revealing a strong ancient atmosphere.

It is said that this is the place where Mr. Wen Chongli recuperates, stepping into the gate of the courtyard, you can see the wall carved with the pattern of "pine crane prolonging life", and the carving is exquisite.

Further inside, there is a hanging flower door, because of the reason for tonight's banquet, so the courtyard in the courtyard, hang a few rows of red lanterns, with the dusk in the west, full of fireworks.

After about a few minutes, the sound of high-heeled shoes stepping on the bluestone ground came from the gate of the courtyard.

The servant who was in the inner courtyard followed the sound and bypassed the wall, and greeted with a smile as soon as he saw the arrival: "Miss, you are here!"

Wen Zhiyuan was wearing a long white dress with a black cotton and linen jacket, and smiled at the maid: "Is Grandpa here?"

"Yes, the old man is in the study. ”

Wen Zhiyuan said to himself, "Then I'll go look for him." ”

As she staggered by, she saw the list in the servant's hand and stopped to take a look, "Is this the list of guests for tonight's banquet?"

The maid nodded, "Yes, we are lining up seat cards." ”

"Show me!" Wen Zhiyuan said as she took the roster from the servant's hand, a palm-sized fold, and asked as she flipped through it, "Have you invited Brother Yan?"

As the words fell, her gaze suddenly caught a name.

The maid followed her line of sight and looked at the special invitation list, smiling ambiguously, they all knew that the young lady was concerned about the second young master of the Leng family, "Yes, the two young masters and young grandmothers of the Leng family will come over tonight." ”

Wen Zhiyuan didn't hear it, she held the roster motionlessly, her eyes glued somewhere, and her fingertips subconsciously clutched.

"Are all the people invited here sure they will attend?"

The maid didn't understand the meaning of her question, and thought that she wanted to inquire about the second young man of the Leng family, so she said very seriously: "Miss, don't worry, the list is all sorted out after the guests confirm their attendance." ”

Wen Zhiyuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't speak again.

After she returned the roster to the servant, she was about to step into the courtyard, but she turned around and turned back to the door.

The servant was surprised, and wondered why her face had changed suddenly......

She remembered that the name of the second young man of the Leng family was recorded on the roster, and she confirmed that she would attend.

……

In the evening, half past five.

The nanny car slowly drove into front of the courtyard gate in the inner ring.

In the car, Yan Shiqi looked at the scenery outside, his eyes were very distant and indifferent.

The courtyard at the foot of the imperial city, at sunset, the sky hovers with glow, and the dim beauty is difficult to see in the hustle and bustle of the city.

The man sitting next to her, his legs folded elegantly, his deep voice was gentle after the car slowly stopped, "Like it here?"

Yan Shiqi rolled his eyes, crashed into his deep eyes, and smiled slightly, "I like it." I'm thinking, when we get old in the future, we can also find a small yard like this, drink tea every day, tease the birds, raise flowers and grass, and feel comfortable when we think about it. ”

Before the man could answer, the cell phone he had placed next to his seat rang.

"Third sister?"

Hearing him speak, Yan Shiqi also inadvertently cast his gaze.

On the other end of the phone, Qin Bainuan didn't know what to say, only to see the man's slowly lowered gaze, and responded lightly, "Okay, I'll see you later." ”

The man put down the phone, and Yan Shiqi came over, "What's the matter?"

"Wen Zhiyuan suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. ”
