Chapter 246: A Wish Under the Osmanthus Tree

Wedding eve.

Jingyuan.

Chu Feiyan had just returned from the Chu family. He casually picked a grape from the table and threw it into his mouth. Seeing Old Man Ji cutting paper, he asked in amazement, "Grandpa, I didn't expect you could do this?"

Chu Feiyan casually opened the large red wedding character that the old man had cut out and praised it, "This is quite a craft! You can sell your art now!"

Old Master Ji chuckled and patted Chu Feiyan's arm, "Stop talking nonsense."

"Grandpa, you have to cut my hair when I get married. Don't be partial!" Chu Feiyan said with a smile.

Old Master Ji raised the corner of his mouth and looked at him with raised eyebrows, "Okay, okay! But, when are you getting married?"

Chu Feiyan looked a little embarrassed, "Almost there!"

Yu Jingwan is a woman that is not easy to deceive!

The road to chasing a wife is long!

I'm such an outstanding man, but she doesn't want to marry me!

"By the way, grandpa, where is my brother? I have something to talk to him about." Chu Feiyan asked.

"In the study."

Chu Feiyan went to the study and knocked on the door.

"Come in." A calm and cold voice sounded.

Chu Feiyan pushed open the door and said bluntly: "Brother, my dad asked you to go to the Chu family's old house."

Ji Feizhi put down the book in his hand, his eyes moved slightly. What did his uncle want to see him for?

"knew."

Chu Feiyan walked closer and glanced at the book on the table. "What book are you reading?"

"The Classic of Purity and Tranquility?" Chu Feiyan chuckled. "Brother, are you looking at this?"

Ji Feizhi looked at him coldly, and Chu Feiyan immediately shut up.

"Brother, I know it's your first marriage and you're nervous. I understand. Haha, I definitely don't mean to laugh at you." Chu Feiyan had a smile on his face.

Ji Feizhi turned the book upside down and said, "Shut up."

Then he got up and walked out.

Chu Feiyan hurried to catch up, "Hey brother, wait for me."

"Honestly, getting married is a major life event, so it's normal to be nervous. Do you want me to help you find something to do to distract you? Maybe a bachelorette party? Or maybe even some car racing..."

The person has gone far away.

hall.

"Grandpa, I'm going back to the Chu family's old house." Ji Feizhi greeted him.

Mr. Ji was puzzled, "What are you going to do?"

The wedding is tomorrow. Mr. Ji has made Jingyuan his new home, and there are still many things to prepare today.

"My dad is looking for my brother." Chu Feiyan just came out to explain.

Responding to the inquiring look from the previous season's old man, he shrugged and raised his hand, "I don't know what it is, so I didn't say anything."

Anyway, something is wrong.

"Then go early and come back early." Old Master Ji reminded.

"Yeah." Ji Feizhi replied indifferently and started to walk out.

Chu Feiyan was about to follow, but was stopped by Old Man Ji.

"Why are you following? Didn't you just come back from the old house?" Old Master Ji raised his eyebrows and ordered, "Stay and help!"

"Oh." Chu Feiyan curled his lips.

He just wanted to join in the fun, out of curiosity.

Ji Feizhi drove to the Chu family's old house.

The older generation of the Chu family is almost all gone. Chu Feiyan's father is the eldest son of the Chu family and has the highest generation.

The Chu family's old house.

"Feizhi is here." Chu Tianluo smiled.

Ji Feizhi greeted him, "Uncle."

A complex and strange look flashed in Chu Tianluo's eyes. His nephew has been cold-tempered since he was a child, and he has not changed after so many years.

Ji Feizhi has been precocious since childhood, and his eyes seem to have experienced many vicissitudes of life at such a young age.

Once upon a time, Chu Tianluo was worried that Hui Ji would die young. There was something so cold in his eyes, as if the little boy had seen through everything in the world.

So, despite his wife's objection, he sent his lively, cute and noisy little son Chu Feiyan to live with the Ji family.

Because of this, his wife still quarrels with him from time to time.

No mother can bear not raising her own child by her side.

But after all, that was his sister's only child, so he naturally couldn't bear it.

Putting aside all his thoughts, Chu Tianluo didn't say much and directly took the person to the Chu family garden.

Under a bare osmanthus tree, several gardeners were digging something with shovels.

Ji Feizhi raised his eyebrows, "Uncle, what is this?"

Chu Tianluo curled his lips and smiled mysteriously, "You'll know in a moment."

Half a quarter of an hour later.

"I dug it up!" the gardener shouted happily.

Several employees worked together to lift a large iron box out of the muddy ground, and then carried it in front of Chu Tianluo, saying respectfully: "Master, we found it."

Chu Tianluo waved his hand and said, "Go down."

Several gardeners withdrew.

Only two people were left in the garden.

"What is this?" Ji Feizhi looked at the box on the ground and asked doubtfully.

Chu Tianluo, "Feizhi, open it and take a look."

Ji Feizhi squatted down and opened the iron box. The surface of the iron box was rusty. There was a wooden box inside. Inside the wooden box were two small boxes that were wrapped tightly.

He frowned and continued to open it.

A small box was opened, and inside was a jar of wine.

Another box was opened, and inside was a letter.

The letter was well preserved.

Ji Feizhi stood up and asked, "Uncle?"

Chu Tianluo looked at the things in the box and couldn't help but wet his eyes. "This is what your mother left for you."

Ji Feizhi was stunned and his whole body stiffened.

Chu Tianluo turned his head to look at the osmanthus tree again, his lowered hands trembling, "That osmanthus tree was planted by your mother herself when she first knew she was pregnant with you."

Ji Feizhi couldn't help but clench his fists, his eyes darkening.

Chu Tianluo fell into reminiscence, "Back then, when your mother found out she was pregnant, she was so happy that she pulled me aside and danced with joy, telling me how she was going to raise you like a child."

"She suddenly had the idea to plant an osmanthus tree and said she would bury a jar of daughter's red wine under the tree and dig it out when you get married. I laughed at her, saying, what if it's a boy? Burying daughter's red wine is only for married daughters, so why would a boy do that?"

Chu Tianluo smiled with tears in his eyes, "Your mother is very impetuous. She will do whatever she wants. She didn't even wait for you to be born, and insisted on burying you in advance. She said that sons and daughters are the same, as long as they get married, they will receive her blessings!"

Ji Feizhi's pupils trembled, but his expression remained indifferent.

"Feizhi, your wedding is tomorrow. It's time to dig out this jar of girl's red wine." Chu Tianluo shook his nephew's shoulders earnestly, and finally couldn't hold back, and a tear fell from his eyes.

He turned his head and wiped it secretly, but the sadness in his eyes could not be hidden.

"Don't be stubborn, be happy..."

Chu Tianluo turned and left, leaving Ji Feizhi standing there alone for a long time.

The wind is cold and bleak.

The wind blew the branches of the old osmanthus tree, making it sway as if someone was telling something.

Ji Feizhi's eyes were fixed on the box on the ground.

The jar of wine and the letter were just placed there quietly.

But he felt unusually heavy.

He took the wine, put the letter in his arms, and strode away.

At night.

The light in the study was on for a long time.

Ji Feizhi sat silently at the desk, staring at the letter in front of him for a long time.

He finally mustered up the courage, and with a trembling hand, he opened the letter.

My dear baby, although I don't know whether you are a boy or a girl, oh no, you should have grown into a beautiful girl or a handsome boy by now. Who cares? You are my most precious child anyway.

[Without further ado, you've finally grown up and are getting married. This is a day worth celebrating. Mommy wishes you a life of happiness, peace, and joy. Mommy loves you, baby!]

It was a short content, but he felt as if he had read it for a lifetime.

Ripples appeared in my heart, spreading continuously and eventually forming huge waves.

It turns out that she is such a person.

It turns out that I have always been deeply loved.
