Rebirth of the Lin family's wife

Chapter 17

Brother Hui called out, "...Chengxuan?"

But that person kept staring at Hui Yi's eyebrows closely, as if he didn't hear anything.

Even Hui Yimei is well-informed, but her cheeks are flushed red by his hot gaze...

Brother Hui coughed a few more times.

The man still looked straight at Hui Yi's eyebrows.

Hui Yimei couldn't help it anymore, and called out, "Henry? Why are you here?"

She uses English.

The man suddenly raised his eyebrows, showing a bit of surprise.

This classical beauty can speak English, and she even knows her own name?
After taking a closer look, he suddenly remembered... This beauty is his Chinese female classmate from the same school, different department, and different grade at the University of Hoover in England!
"you……"

But he forgot her name.

Hui Yi smiled and said, "I'm Winnie."

Henry frowned and asked, "Where's your Chinese name?"

Huiyi's brows flushed, but she didn't answer.

Although the name is just a symbol, and it's not a secret that can't be told, but his hot gaze just now made her hesitate.

Brother Hui said at the right time, "Chengxuan, you have come from a long way, I will take you to the guest room to rest for a while... I will talk about other things slowly later."

Hui Yimei took Xiao Hong back a step at the right time, and stood with her head bowed.

Henry took a deep look at her and followed Brother Hui.

Hui Yi also frowned.

She knew Henry.

She is a student of the same university as him, and he is two years older than her, so she graduated a year behind, but he has already graduated... And because he is also a Chinese with yellow skin and black hair, Hui Yi eyebrows She also paid attention to him when she first entered school; however, due to her low-key and cautious attitude, the two did not have any intersections when they were in school...

But why did Henry become the second brother's distinguished guest?
Hui Yimei took Xiao Hong back to the attic.

Although... Henry was actually the guest of the second brother, which made her feel a little surprised, but she was more concerned about her marriage; the second brother was the backbone of the family, and probably only he could influence her mother's thoughts.

Hui Yimei made up her mind, she must find a chance to have a good talk with her second brother.

Since there is a male guest at home, and... when Henry looked at her, the look in his eyes was a little frightening; so Hui Yimei didn't want to go out anymore.In her attic, she took Xiao Hong to tidy up the picked magnolia and jasmine flowers, and then she nestled on the imperial concubine's bed under the window to read a book.

After lunch, Hui Yi took a nap and picked up the book that she hadn't finished in the morning.

Xiaohong came in with a pot of boiling water and brewed a pot of Longjing for her; she went to the window and took two half-dried jasmine flowers, put them into a cup, and then poured the tea from the teapot into the cup .

I saw the clear green tea soup rushing into the snow-white sweet porcelain cup, and the thin vortex of water swirled around in the small cup with two small fragrant flowers...

For a moment, the mellow tea fragrance is accompanied by the faint fresh floral fragrance.

Hui Yimei breathed a sigh of relief.

She spent the whole afternoon surrounded by the fragrance of tea and the ink of books.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Hong walked in and said angrily, "Miss! You've been reading this book all day, so be careful with your eyes! Also, does your neck hurt?"

Saying that, Xiaohong stepped forward and snatched her book.

Hui Yi smiled and shook her head.

Speaking of which, she did feel that her eyes were a little sore, and her neck also felt a little sore.

Seeing the sky gradually darken, she took a round fan and walked to the window, ready to look into the distance to relax her eyes and stretch her neck.

Xiaohong put away her book, and thoughtfully took a dress over, and put it on Hui Yimei.

"Miss, it's windy and it looks like it's going to rain soon, so be careful of catching cold." Xiaohong said in a nonchalant manner.

Hui Yimei let out a lazily "hmm", leaning against the window and looking at the green and green hills in the distance.

After staring into the distance for a while, she finally felt that her eyeballs were not so oppressive; but she soon discovered that probably because it was about to rain, some mosquitoes wanted to enter her room through the window.

Hui Yimei held a round fan and waved it outside...

Suddenly her nose itched, she quickly covered her nose and mouth with a round fan, and sneezed softly.

Xiaohong was in a hurry, "Look, you've caught a cold, haven't you!"

She went up to help Hui Yimei put on the long gown she was wearing, and said, "I'll go to the kitchen and cook a bowl of ginger and jujube brown sugar water for you...Miss, I'll cover the window so you don't let the cold wind blow caught..."

Hui Yi raised her eyebrows, "The air is fine now, I'll blow it up, and I'll close it by myself later, aren't you going to the big kitchen?"

Xiaohong had no choice but to say, "I'll go right away, please be careful, don't blow the cool wind for too long."

Saying that, Xiaohong went downstairs slowly.

Hui Yimei stood by the window for a while in a daze.

Big raindrops suddenly fell from the sky, hitting the green tiles, big trees and the ground, making a "rustling" sound...

Hui Yi raised her eyebrows and looked outside.

The dark sky was pressing on the top of the head, and there was an indescribable sense of oppression.But when the raindrops fell freely, the moist water mist mixed with the slight fishy smell of the soil and the fresh fragrance of the plants rushed to the face; the graceful magnolia trees were also washed whiter by the rain , greener greener...

Huiyi let out a sigh of relief.

Suddenly someone ran to the magnolia tree with an oiled paper umbrella and stayed there.

Hui Yimei's gaze involuntarily followed the oiled paper umbrella...

It wasn't until this moment that she realized that there was already a person who was drenched by the heavy rain standing under the magnolia tree!

that person...

Is it Henry?
What was he doing standing under the tree foolishly?Rain?

The umbrella was held by a servant woman. She had a few words with Henry, and then held an umbrella and escorted Henry towards the main house.

As Henry walked, he kept turning his head and looking in her direction...

Hui Yi felt her face burning for no apparent reason.

How long had he been standing under the magnolia tree?From where he was standing, he could just see her window, and she had been there for nearly half an hour...

"Miss! It's raining so hard, why don't you close the window?" Xiaohong went upstairs with a small earthen jar.

Seeing that it was raining so heavily, but Hui Yimei was still standing by the window, Xiaohong couldn't help feeling a little anxious; she took off her shoes at the door of the room, wiped her wet feet on the carpet at the door of the room, and hugged her The crock pot hurried into the room, first put the crock pot on the table, then walked to Hui Yimei's side, and closed the window.

The room suddenly became dark.

Xiaohong turned on the light, and then began to carefully look at the clothes on Hui Yimei's body.

"Ah, your clothes are all wet!" Xiaohong exclaimed.

Hui Yimei doesn't care.

It's just that the outer robe was a little wet, and the inner clothes were not wet.

Xiaohong has already stretched out her hand, wanting to help her change clothes, but Hui Yimei avoids her.

"It's okay, I'll change it myself, you pour the brown sugar water into the cup." She told Xiaohong.

Xiaohong poured the brown sugar water into the porcelain cup as she said.

Hui Yimei took off her robe and felt a little chilly, so she took another shawl and put it on her shoulders; then, she picked up the book that she hadn't finished before...

Xiaohong stepped forward and took the book away.

"My lady! Are you going to take the female champion exam? You have been reading this book for a whole day, and now the light in the room is not good, so be careful to damage your eyes!" Xiaohong scolded.

Hui Yimei said helplessly, "...But I can't just sit still like a fool, can I?"

Xiaohong thought for a while, "If you don't think I talk too much, let me chat with you!"

Huiyi smiled.

Holding the porcelain cup, she took a sip of the fragrant and slightly sweet ginger-date brown sugar water, and said, "Then you have to say something I like to hear..."

Xiaohong then remembered that there was a period of time when the young lady was humming the famous aria of Yu Ming, a famous Kunqu opera singer, and said in a low voice, "Do you know? Something happened in the Tang family class..."

Tang's class?
Hui Yi shook her head suspiciously.

Xiaohong's eyes widened, "You don't know about Tangjiaban? Yes, but... don't you like Yuming's singing? He is the pillar of Tangjiaban!"

As soon as Yu Ming was mentioned, Hui Yi's eyebrows lit up, and she asked, "Yu Ming? Ah, Yu Ming... Well, is the Tang family class still in the county?"

Xiao Hong shook her head, "Two days ago, the class leader of Tang's class committed a crime and went to jail; then several famous actors in Tang's class went their separate ways...that is, the top few A little bit stronger: Xiao Bailing went to Tianjin Qingli Class, Hua Shiliu went to Beiping to seek refuge with relatives and friends. The rest of the people are not so good...Fang Ying went to be an old man as a concubine, and there are a few male characters I went to the pier..."

Hui Yi froze for a moment, then asked, "What did the class leader of Tang's class do?"

Xiaohong didn't speak.

Thinking that it was raining heavily outside at this time, and no one would visit the young lady in the small building, Xiaohong said softly, "It is said that opium was hidden..."

Huiyi's eyebrows opened wide.

Xiaohong said in a small voice, "How could the boss of Tang hide stolen opium? I heard that he was originally a rich man, but because his parents became addicted to cigarettes, they lost all their property, and later died in the opium den... He founded Tang After home work, I raised money from acting, and most of it was donated to the 'Smoke Prevention Club'..."

After a while, Hui Yi asked, "Then, where is Yu Ming?"

Xiao Hong shook her head, "I don't know."

"Can't tell, you really like watching theaters!" Hui Yimei suppressed the thoughts in her heart, and teased Xiaohong.

Xiaohong smiled and said, "... Long time no go! When you didn't come back, I was working in the big kitchen, and I could take a day off every ten days or half a month; this rest, besides going home to see my parents I don’t have anything to do, sometimes I go to listen to operas... In fact, the troupe master Tang is very kind, knowing that we are poor and don’t have extra money to go to theaters, so I specially put a curtain around the outermost part of the theater shed... Although We don't have much money, but we can also buy a standing ticket and stand far outside to see...Miss, haven't you noticed? Actually, Yu Ming's voice is not very good, but his figure is indeed softer than us A real big girl can still twist..."

Hui Yi's eyebrows fell into a daze.

Although she wasn't sure if Yu Ming was the actor who intervened between Master Lin Er and Lin Yue'an, judging from what Xiaohong said, the leader of the Tang family's troupe was still a man of lofty ideals, and it would be a bit embarrassing to go to jail for committing crimes. It's so obvious...

It's hard to say whether the Lin family intervened.

But in this palm-sized county, if the Lin family wanted to do such a thing, it was as easy as swat a mosquito to death.

If it is said that the Lin family really interfered in this matter, then it is very likely that there is something wrong between Yu Ming and Lin Yue'an.

This matter was too shocking, Hui Yimei didn't dare to think about it, and she didn't want to catch wind and shadows.

She echoed Xiaohong, laughed a few times, and said, "So I delayed you! I apologize to you. When the weather is better, I will take you to the county town to watch a movie!"

Xiao Hong's eyes sparkled, "Really? Miss...you are so kind, I haven't seen the movie yet!"

Hui Yi pursed her lips and smiled, "Of course it's true!"

Then, she turned her head to look at the door, and said, "It seems that the rain has stopped?"

Hearing this, Xiaohong went to the window and pushed it open.

Sure enough, the rain had stopped.

The fresh and moist wind blows into the house, which makes people feel refreshed!
Hui Yi raised her eyebrows, "Go and see where the second brother is, just say that I have something to tell him, and ask him and the second sister-in-law to come to my room."

Xiaohong responded, rolled up her trousers and went out the door.

Hui Yi's eyebrows were a little annoyed and irritable.

She knew that she had to have a good talk with her second elder brother and second sister-in-law, after all, her second elder brother was the pillar of the Hui family; with his support, she could get twice the result with half the effort and settle the marriage earlier.
