Jiang Sui showed a somewhat speechless expression, "What are you doing at this hour of night?"
Yan Junqi smiled appropriately: "Good evening, you can't sleep either, so you plan to go out for a walk?"
Under Jiang Sui's gaze, Yan Junqi yawned blatantly, "It's getting late, I'll go back to sleep first."
Jiang Sui's eyes fell on the packaging bag in his other hand, pretending to be puzzled, "What is that in your right hand?"
Yan Junqi stood there awkwardly, his right hand subconsciously hiding behind his back. "Nothing, not important."
As he was talking, he moved towards the door of his room. Halfway there, he suddenly heard Jiang Sui ask behind him, "Is the barbecue here delicious?"
"I think it's pretty good."
Yan Junqi's eyes slowly widened, and he suddenly turned back to look at him, gnashing his teeth and whispering, "Are you deceiving me?"
Jiang Sui's expression at this moment was not as gentle as it was during the day. It had a bit of coolness that Yan Junqi rarely saw. "Of course not, I'm just asking sincerely."
Yan Junqi looked at him suspiciously and warned, "Don't trip me up."
Jiang Sui just smiled and said nothing.
So sometimes people's sixth sense is very accurate. Yan Junqi felt extremely calm that night and felt that Jiang Sui must be planning something bad. This guess was confirmed the next day.
As soon as Yan Junqi went downstairs, he found that the breakfast in front of him was twice as big as usual. Aunt Wang even stood next to his seat and looked at him with a smile.
"Master Junqi, I heard from Master Jiang that you didn't eat enough on weekdays, so you ordered takeout in the middle of the night. This is really my fault. I will give you more food in the future."
Yan Junqi looked at the rice that was sticking out of the edge of the bowl, and wanted to argue with Aunt Wang with tears in his eyes, but Aunt Wang had already turned around and walked into the kitchen.
Yan Junqi could only grit his teeth and finish the whole bowl of rice.
I thought this farce would only last one day, but I didn't expect it to be like this every day after that.
At this point, Yan Junqi glanced at Jiang Sui with hatred, "You did a good job! Are you satisfied?"
Jiang Sui said innocently, "I'm just kindly reminding Aunt Wang. I'm mainly worried that you won't have enough to eat, which will hinder your growth."
Yan Junqi forced a laugh and said sarcastically, "Thank you so much for your kindness."
Jiang Sui said without any pressure: "You're welcome, it's my duty."
Yan Junqi spread his hands and said, "Thanks to Ah Sui, I need to wait for Aunt Wang to feed me until my fever subsides."
As soon as he finished speaking, seeing Wen Hangxing's expression, Yan Junqi slowly reacted, "No way?"
Wen Hangxing looked at him with pity, "It can't be reduced at all."
Yan Junqi: "!!! No way, then I have to eat two meals all the time?"
Wen Hangxing said without hesitation: "Congratulations, you guessed it right."
As soon as she finished speaking, she walked to the guest bedroom next door with her toiletries and closed the door without even looking at them.
Before Yan Junqi could rebuke him, Jiang Sui patted him on the shoulder gently and said, "Junqi, I wish you good luck."
Then, he waved his sleeves and left.
Yan Junqi stood there like a goose, "No, there is no brotherhood at all?"
Half an hour later, Lin Yitang and two others got in the car to the old house.
The car passed through the bustling traffic, followed the pedestrians into the 5A-level scenic area, drove deeper, and finally stopped outside a solid wooden door.
Lin Yitang asked in surprise, "Is this the old house?"
She had imagined thousands of different appearances of the old house, but she never expected it to be a garden hidden in a 5A-level scenic spot.
Wen Hangxing frowned fiercely, "You also think this location is bad, right? I said it would be too troublesome to set it up in a 5A-level scenic spot, and it would be too noisy with people coming and going outside."
His words were actually somewhat subjective. Firstly, although the old house was located within the scenic area and had a large daily flow of people, the garden was built deep in the area where few people could reach. The main gate was actually behind the scenic area. Except for the Wen family and some acquaintances, no one else knew about it.
In addition, there is a not-so-narrow stream between the old house and the tourist area. The distance is far and the sound insulation is good, so there is basically no possibility of being disturbed. This is the legendary "quietness in a bustling city".
Just as Lin Yitang was about to speak, the solid wooden door suddenly opened from the inside, and a kind-looking old man came out to greet her. After a quick glance, his eyes landed on Lin Yitang. His eyes lit up and he said, "This must be the Second Madam. What a beautiful lady."
Lin Yitang didn't expect the people in the old house to be so welcoming to her. After being stunned for a moment, she quickly smiled and said, "Hello."
The old man continued, "Look at me, I haven't introduced myself to the Second Madam yet. I'm the housekeeper of the Wen residence, my last name is Ji."
Lin Yitang called out obediently, "Uncle Ji."
The housekeeper immediately smiled and replied repeatedly, "Hey hey."
He then smiled lovingly as if he had seen Wen Zeli and Wen Hangxing, "The Second Young Master and the Young Master are back."
Wen Hangxing respectfully called out, "Uncle Ji." Wen Zeli also restrained his usual aura and nodded respectfully at him.
Lin Yitang figured out something. It seemed that the butler in front of him was close to Mr. Wen and was not just a simple butler.
"Come in with me, the three of you. I haven't seen you for so long, and I must have missed you."
The housekeeper's voice interrupted Lin Yitang's thoughts and led everyone inside.
Lin Yitang realized that the garden looked small from the outside, but it was indeed a different world once you went inside.
The garden's axial symmetrical landscape rivals that of the imperial gardens of the Forbidden City, combined with the exquisite gardening techniques of Suzhou gardens, creates a style that is majestic, rigorous and orderly in the overall picture. However, in the small details such as rockery, bridges, lotus leaves, trees and pavilions, one can also see the shadow of Suzhou gardens' high platforms and thick pavilions, changing scenery with every step, exquisite elegance, and clear water and trees.
Lin Yitang unexpectedly found the garden layout very comfortable. He looked left and right, and his pace slowed down as he walked.
The housekeeper simply slowed down his pace and introduced it to her, "This was designed by the old lady herself when she was still alive. They say a garden reflects the designer's state of mind, and this garden is the product of the old lady's years of hard work."
His old face was filled with emotion as he looked at Lin Yitang and said, "With Second Madam's personality, if Old Madam were still alive, I think she would also love you very much."
Lin Yitang said embarrassedly: "You are too kind. I am not as good as you say."
The housekeeper smiled, glanced at Wen Zeli behind Lin Yitang, and said to Lin Yitang, "Madam, you can ask the second young master to accompany you here after dinner to help digest the food. The scenery of the garden at night is also unique."
Lin Yitang responded: "Okay, let's go in first."
So the three of them moved forward again and finally arrived at the main hall.
