Chapter 289 Promised Her

Wei Yunji stopped, and the girl ran up to him, her cheeks were slightly red, and she looked at him shyly.

This is Lin Yuqin, the fourth miss of the Lin family.

"Is there a problem?"

"Third Uncle said to let you go to the Huxin Pavilion. He has something to tell you." Lin Yuqin said, "My servant girl brought the lantern. Let us take you there."

Her third uncle, that is, his third uncle.

Lin Sanye didn't know what he was busy with. He almost missed the New Year's Eve dinner. He came in a hurry at the end of the meal. After eating, he gave Wei Yunji a look, and then hurried out again.

That look in his eyes seemed to indicate that he wanted to tell Wei Yunji something.

Now Wei Yunji also wanted to go to him and ask if there was anything wrong, so now that Lin Yuqin happened to come to talk about it, Wei Yunji subconsciously nodded and prepared to go.

But there was snow outside, and he didn't want her to go with him.

"I can go there by myself, I don't need you to lead the way." He also came to the Lin Mansion since he was a child, and he is familiar with it. He naturally knows where the Huxin Pavilion is.

Dongqing came over quickly, "Miss Si, otherwise please give me the lantern."

He is the son's entourage, so naturally he is holding a lantern to light the way.

"I'm going back to the yard and I'm going to pass by the lake on the way, just to send Brother Yunji there." Lin Yuqin said to Dongqing, "Dongqing, why don't you go and get the food that your grandmother gave to Brother Yunji first?" Send it to the carriage, and come back later to pick up Brother Yunji."

There was such a thing in the past, Mrs. Lin would prepare a lot of snacks, candy and the like every year for Wei Yunji to take back, saying that the General’s Mansion had few people, so he would definitely not prepare these, so that he didn’t have to buy them. After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, I took it back from the Lin Mansion.

One box and one cage, there are twenty or thirty boxes in a pile, and it is difficult for one person to handle.

These habits have been developed over the years, so Dongqing also thinks it makes sense.After all, this is the Lin Mansion, the second home of the Young Master, so don't be too cautious about everything.

"Young master, then I'll go and carry the things to the carriage first."

"Well, let's go."

Wei Yunji nodded, and walked towards the small lake in the Lin Mansion.

Lin Yuqin and her maid, carrying lanterns, followed quickly on the snow. "Brother Yunji wait for me."

Wei Yunji also drank some wine today, the Lin Mansion is very big, with winding paths everywhere, the snow on the road has swept to both sides, some children are playing with firecrackers in the distance, and there are a few bangs and bangs from time to time, but this time The garden near the lake is secluded.Because it is relatively open here, the wind is strong, and it is too cold.

The small lake is not completely frozen, there is a thin layer of ice on the surface of the water, it should still be transparent, under the snowy light, it looks cold like this.

"Brother Yunji, don't walk so fast, the road is slippery." Lin Yuqin was a little tired from following.Wei Yunji said that she didn't need to lead the way, so he really went all the way on his own, and didn't walk slowly with her.

He was tall and had long legs, so he had to let her take three steps if he took one step, so it was too tiring to follow.

"You go back, I don't need a lantern." Wei Yunji said this, and saw the cold light on the lake again in his eyes, and the Huxin Pavilion had already seen it.

At this moment, a girl's voice suddenly sounded in his ear——

Wei Yunji, can you not go to the waterside on New Year's Eve?
Wei Yunji's footsteps stopped suddenly.

He stopped suddenly, and Lin Yuqin, who was rushing up, almost bumped into his back. Wei Yunji leaned to one side, avoiding her, and let her fall forward.

"Miss Si!" Fortunately, the servant girl quickly supported her, otherwise Lin Yuqin would fall to the ground.

After Lin Yuqin stopped, her heart was pounding and she was frightened. If she really fell, she would lose face and might be injured.

She glanced at Wei Yunji with a bit of resentment. "Brother Yunji, what's the matter with you? Hurry up, third uncle is waiting."

There is indeed a figure in the pavilion, because there is still a distance, and only the snowy sky can see clearly, and it is impossible to tell who it is.

Wei Yunji turned around without hesitation, and went back the way he came from.

Lin Yuqin was stunned, and waited until he had walked a few steps before realizing it, and hurriedly picked up her skirt and chased after him, "Brother Yunji!"

Wei Yunji didn't stop, the little girl's voice still echoed in his ears, can we not go to the water?
He promised her.

This time Lin Yuqin couldn't keep up with his pace, and after a while, Wei Yunji was no longer visible.

She stomped her feet, breathing out white smoke from exhaustion.

"Miss Si, why did General Wei leave all of a sudden?" The servant girls were tired of following with the lanterns in hand. The cold weather made their foreheads sweat.

"How do I know!" Lin Yuqin gritted his teeth, "What should I do?"

"Do I have to go to the pavilion to explain to that person? Just say that General Wei has to leave for a while, so as to avoid that angry lady."

"It's annoying, the weather is so cold, and I need to take care of it for them!" Lin Yuqin stomped her feet again, but she was relieved, maybe it was a good thing that Brother Yunji didn't go?

Wei Yunji went back to the front yard, and the children all ran towards him when they saw him.

"Cousin Wei, did you misplace the New Year's money?"

"Yeah, the New Year's money is wrong!"

Wei Yunji's expression was indifferent, "That's right."

"But there are only five copper coins in each red paper envelope!" a half-grown boy shouted.

It used to be a handful of golden melon seeds, but now it is five copper coins. Is the difference too much?

"Well, didn't I say that? If I want to save money in the future, I won't be able to give you much. Five copper coins are not bad."

He saw how a slender girl like Ruan Jiaoyan worked hard to earn money. In such a cold day and with such heavy snow, she still had to sit on the street with scissors and cut paper, one window grille, one copper plate and three copper plates. earn.

Too much work.

That scene kept popping up in his mind when he was going to prepare lucky money for these children in the Lin family, so he decided to change the habit of giving each person a handful of golden melon seeds every year, and each person packed five copper coins.

These children in the Lin family have been well-clothed and well-fed since they were young, so why give them so much?Besides, he's just a cousin and hasn't married yet, so he shouldn't have given it to him in the first place.

Wei Yunji felt that his money should be saved.

"Why do you have to be so stingy with so much money?" a child cried out, blushing with anger.

"That's right, cousin, you guard the general's mansion all by yourself, who will spend it if you don't give it to us?" Another child also yelled.

Wei Yunji narrowed his eyes slightly.

He was suddenly a little chilled.These children certainly would not have thought of these things themselves, and now they are shouting so angrily, which means that some adults have said such things to them.The money from the general's mansion should be spent on them.
