Seeing Xia Jing looking at her, Zhou Yi had a hunch that something was wrong, but now he had to deal with the matter in front of him before talking about other things, so he gave Xia Jing a calm look and asked Xia Chuan to go up to serve him first The adults at home have dinner.

Seeing this, Xia Jing smiled coldly, turned around and left.

Zhou Yi felt a little helpless in her heart, looked back at the strange young man walking towards her, thought about it and figured out the reason, and hurriedly said: "Sorry, I've been to Zezhou for a long time, I don't know this inn has changed owners, it's so abrupt."

He hasn't recognized Wen Lan yet. After all, when he was demoted to Zezhou that year, he only found someone once. Coincidentally, it happened to be the boss Wen in front of him. Far from being as bright as it is now.

Zhou Yi didn't recognize him here, but Wen Lan recognized Zhou Yi at a glance. He hadn't escaped from that place at that time, and he had received many guests in the past few years. This one was the one who impressed him the most among so many guests.

People who always go to that kind of place to look for him, almost have a quirk that can't be said. Every time they pick up a guest, their body is always covered with bruises and scars, and it often takes a long time to heal.

Only that time, he remembered clearly that the person in front of him was right.Never had a guest do that with consideration for his feelings and treat him like a human being, only this one was different from the others.

That was the best night he had spent in that place, and when the man left the next day, he left him a large sum of money, enough for him to redeem himself.

He was also very naive at the time, thinking that the guest was satisfied with him and might come to him in the future, so he just redeemed himself, and if the guest came again, he would not be found.

Holding this kind of secret expectation, he really didn't redeem himself, always thinking that if he endured it again, maybe he would wait.

He also didn't know why he had to wait for this guest, perhaps, he just wanted to say a belated "thank you" to this person.

But he had been waiting for the Yellow River flood that year, the building collapsed and people scattered, and even the bustard who had been oppressing them died accidentally in the flood, and he still couldn't wait.

The flooding gave them a chance to escape, and he hurriedly took all his savings over the years with him and fled with other brothers who were trapped in the fire pit.

However, there are no eggs under the overturned nest, Zezhou is in disaster, and they have no shelter, where can they escape!

Fortunately, the magistrate loves the people like a child, and actively contacted people with lofty ideals to organize rescue. The owner of this Yunlai Inn at the time, Wang, also volunteered to donate the inn to resettle the refugees.

After hearing about it, he and a few brothers who were not lost came to take refuge in Yunlai Inn. Only then did he see the guest he had been waiting for again. What he didn't expect was that this person turned out to be Their prefect adults!

I heard from the old people who took refuge with me that the Yellow River bursting its embankment was a catastrophe that never happened in a hundred years. In the past, when Zezhou suffered disasters, the number of people who died in the floods was countless. In dire straits.

The lives of these people were all given by the magistrate, and this person can be called the real "parent officer", the savior sent by heaven to Zezhou Prefecture!

During that time, the magistrate ate and lived with them all day long, and often had to run around to get relief supplies. They also quickly became emaciated, almost lost their appearance, and they did not look the handsome and handsome in the past.

At first, he wanted to ask the prefect if he still remembered him, but that time was too chaotic, and he never found the opportunity.The more things I saw later, the more ashamed I became.

A person like Mr. Zhifu shouldn't get involved in such a shameful thing. What right does a filthy person like him have to imagine that he can stay by this person's side?That being the case, why did he bother to pierce the window paper!

After thinking about this, he really stopped thinking about it. Fortunately, there were a lot of people taking refuge in Yunlai Inn at that time, and everyone was unkempt and disheveled, and the magistrate didn't notice him, who was extremely inconspicuous among the crowd.

After the flood finally subsided, they cleaned up the mud and rebuilt their homes under the organization of the prefect.

Not long after this incident, the magistrate was transferred back to the capital by the current emperor. On the day of leaving office, they spontaneously organized to send him ten miles north of Zezhou Prefecture. The more people joined the farewell team.

He was also one of the send-off team at that time.

It is necessary to say goodbye after sending you off for thousands of miles. Later, the magistrate finally left, but to this day, many people still have his longevity tablets in their homes. I hope that such an adult who is willing to consider the common people will have a smooth life.

Later, I heard rumors that my lord had a successful official career in the capital, was highly valued by the sage, and was soon promoted to a first-rank official. They were all as happy as if they had become a high official.

As for himself, when he heard that Boss Wang of the Yunlai Inn intends to transfer the inn and go to Pingyang Mansion next door to enjoy life with his son, he spent all his savings to buy this inn, which can be considered as a way for himself to settle down in the future. .

This has passed, and it has passed to the present.

Seeing Zhou Yi again today, Wen Lan was surprised, and he was also sincerely happy to see Zhou Yi returned to the appearance when he first met in the past. No wonder no one recognized him for a while. The magistrate is not at all like this handsome and elegant gentleman in front of him.

If he didn't have that little "relationship" with the adults, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to recognize him.

Seeing that Wen Lan was on the spot in a daze, Zhou Yi repeated what she said just now in a good-tempered manner: "I'm sorry, I don't know that the Yunlai Inn has changed owners, please bother me."

Only then did Wen Lan come to her senses, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, everyone who comes is a guest. Since Mr. Wang is an old friend of Boss Wang, he is also my friend. Boss Wang is kind to me."

Zhou Yi smiled, and changed her address politely: "My little friend said that if you meet by fate, you are friends."

Wen Lan also smiled back: "That's exactly the reason."

Seeing that he was kind and easy to get along with, Zhou Yi asked again: "I don't know where Boss Wang has gone now?"

Wen Lan didn't hide anything, and told Zhou Yi everything she knew: "Boss Wang, after he handed over the inn to me, he went to live with his son in the Pingyang Mansion next door. He has worked hard for half his life, and it's time to enjoy life in peace."

Knowing that the old man was safe, Zhou Yi was relieved, thanked Wen Lan again, and took Ah Yao to Xia Jing's private room on the second floor.

He didn't notice that the current owner of Yunlai Inn was watching his back, and he didn't leave until he couldn't see him.

In the private room on the second floor, Xia Jingyuan was still waiting for Zhou Yi to come back to eat together, but now because he was angry in his heart, he didn't wait any longer, and as soon as he came back, he directly called Liu Shanglu who was sitting with him to eat first.

When Zhou Yi came in, he ignored him even more, as if this person didn't exist.

However, his appearance changed in a day, and Zhou Yi didn't know why he offended him again, but he could still handle it on the surface. Ah Yao also sat down to eat together.

As for Xia Chuan, he belongs to Xia Jing, and Zhou Yi has no right to ask if he sits down to eat together.

Xia Jing snorted coldly when he heard the words, but didn't say anything, just ate on his own, and only said a few words to Liu Shanglu during the dinner, but Zhou Yi didn't even look at him.

This meal was full of yin and yang, and everyone felt uncomfortable.After finally finishing eating, Ah Yao cleverly called Liu Shanglu, and the two slipped away together. Seeing this, Xia Chuan also said that he went outside to guard. Seeing Xia Jing nodding, he quickly walked out and closed the door again, watching his nose and nose Stand guard outside the door.

As a result, Zhou Yi and Xia Jing were left alone in the room, and the atmosphere became even more stagnant for a while.

Xia Jing held up a blue and white porcelain teacup to his eyes, carefully observing its texture, as if this teacup was a peerless treasure.He would rather focus on this ordinary teacup than talk to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi has never figured out why he was fine yesterday, but today he came back from a trip and became like this. However, he is not as awkward as Xia Jing after all his age.

So he smiled lightly, and asked kindly: "Why, what's not going well today?"
