Chapter 260: Could it be that I recognized the wrong person? ...
This diamond-shaped teacup is really exquisite and unique. The light goose yellow color makes the emerald green of the tea soup even clearer and clearer. It is in no way inferior to the tea set in Guanwuyuan in the past.
From the moment she recognized Zhizhi in the cave to the moment she stepped into Wenji's shop, everything seemed to have been foreshadowed, guiding her forward.
Wen Yu smiled faintly and only took a small sip, the fragrance still lingered between her lips and teeth.
The tea is good tea.
"Shopkeeper Wen." Wen Yu rubbed his fingertips and placed the teacup on the table. "Thank you for the Jingting Green Snow."
Yu Chang's mind moved when he heard this, and for some reason he suddenly understood -
It turned out that Wen Yu had plucking up almost all the red spider lilies on the side of Naihe Bridge to make room for a tea tree that he had planted countless times but never managed to survive. The tree was called Jingting Luxue.
Looking at the tea rippling slightly in the cup, Yu Chang's peaceful mood began to waver.
He didn't know why he was so sure.
It was clear that when Xie Bian and Fan Wujiu came to stop her, they questioned her countless times, but Wen Yu remained silent and never answered the name of the tea tree.
As his mind was in a state of chaos and roar, he heard Wen Yu continue, "It's just that Yu Chang and I have important matters to attend to, so we won't be spending time with Shopkeeper Wen."
Wenbao seemed to have heard something shocking. His small body suddenly shrank, and he quickly grabbed Chen Zhizhi's sleeve, hesitating, "How could it be, Auntie...you, you should use it more..."
The high spirits he had just had completely disappeared, and Wen Bao held onto Chen Zhizhi as if he were holding onto his life-saving straw.
"Zhizhi, let's go." Wen Yu shifted his gaze, looking past Wen Bao at Chen Zhizhi. "Go with you to see where the unrest is, so we can resolve it sooner."
Then she and Yu Chang could continue to move towards Zhongzhou.
Chen Zhizhi stood stiffly, ignoring Wen Bao's pulling. His eyes were fixed on Wen Yu's face, and the glint in his eyes was obviously not simple.
"Aunt..." Chen Zhizhi was stunned and didn't know what to say. His cleverness seemed to have disappeared. "Aunt, I..."
Su Jianbai stopped chewing and stared at Chen Zhizhi with his big eyes blinking, feeling strange.
Chen Xiaodao still has such a nervous and alert moment, it really is true that there is always someone better than him.
But she moved her lips for a long time but still couldn't say anything, and just kept looking towards the store door.
Seeing this, Su Jianbai couldn't help but look outside -
The night was dark, snow was falling, and it was unknown what strange thing was lurking in the darkness.
What Su Jianbai could discover naturally could not escape the eyes of Wen Yu and Yu Chang.
The two looked at each other, both feeling helpless.
"Zhizhi." Wen Yu's heart sank slightly, and he spoke very reluctantly, "Jiangyang is in turmoil, but... can we take it seriously?"
"Really! The unrest is real!" Chen Zhizhi trembled, as if struck by lightning. "Aunt, I never lied."
However, the unrest in Jiangyang was real, and it was also true that she had selfish motives...
Wen Yu's face was so solemn that even the usually aggressive Su Jianbai restrained himself. Looking at Chen Xiaodao's tense and anxious expression, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and chime in, "I... I can testify that the recent unrest in Jiangyang is indeed true."
Seeing Wen Yu's peripheral vision sweeping over him, Su Jianbai felt a pang of fear in his heart, and hurriedly distanced himself from the matter, "But this has nothing to do with me! I just took advantage of the chaos to steal a few chickens! Really!"
What's more, he didn't even see the chicken. When he chased after it, all that was left in the yard were flying chicken feathers and Chen Xiaodao, who thought he was a chicken thief.
It was just that these words could not be expressed in a few words, so he simply accepted it and treated it as a joke, but he did not expect that it would cause many troubles later.
After repeatedly confirming this with Su Jianbai and Chen Zhizhi, Wen Yu's tense nerves relaxed slightly, but she still spoke very seriously, "If it's true, then hurry up and leave. Don't delay here."
Having said that, Wen Yu was about to stand up.
Tables and chairs made of huanghuali wood are comfortable, but you can’t sit on them for a lifetime.
At the same moment Wen Yu spoke, Yu Chang moved slightly, then stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with her.
Chen Zhizhi was stunned and waved his hands after hearing this. "Aunt, you've worked hard on the journey. Why don't you have some tea and snacks first? It won't be too late to go later..."
Tea and snacks?
Wen Yu's eyes changed, and he glanced sideways at the bowls and cups on the table, feeling even more confused.
"No need, quelling the rebellion is more important."
After saying this, Wen Yu did not linger any longer and was about to go out. She did not want to stay any longer.
"aunt!"
Chen Zhizhi was in a panic and hurriedly chased after her. In a hurry, he grabbed Wen Yu's sleeve.
"What's important or not? There's no point in comparing anything. Peace in the world is important, and good health is important, too!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like thunder exploding in my ears.
Wen Yu's steps, which had been moving without hesitation, suddenly stopped. He felt as if struck by lightning, and his stiff back was like a stretched longbow.
The lights in the store flickered before her eyes, seeming real and illusory.
What is important or not.
In my heart, Xiaoyu is the most important.
She suddenly thought of Song Linsheng and what he had said.
The hundreds of years between them had already split memory and reality into two inseparable halves, but Chen Zhizhi's words almost pulled her back to the past that she dared never forget.
Peace in the world is important, but good health is also important.
Wen Yu repeated these two sentences silently in his heart, and suddenly a sob arose in his throat.
"Wenyu." Yu Chang, sensing something was amiss, glanced at her coldly and waved his sleeve to push Chen Zhizhi away from Wenyu. "How is it?"
The sudden change brought Wen Yu back to her senses. Knowing what Yu Chang had done, she subconsciously reached out to pick up Chen Zhizhi.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Wen Yu replied quickly.
No matter what, she wouldn't want anything to happen to Chen Zhizhi.
Yu Chang also knew this, so he didn't use any force in his hands, he just separated Chen Zhizhi and Wen Yu.
Even if he couldn't know Wen Yu's thoughts completely, he could guess about 80% of it.
Chen Zhizhi, with his hands empty, lowered his eyes and glanced at his palms, then suddenly raised his head and pounced on Wen Yu again.
She had waited so long for this day and couldn't let it go to waste.
"Aunt, listen to me—" Chen Zhizhi looked around, looking at the door curtain next to the counter, which was motionless, and couldn't help but get anxious. "Aunt, I, I mean—"
She just wanted to give her aunt some of her favorite fruits so that she could stay a little longer.
But now when she wanted to explain it seriously, she felt that this statement was untenable.
Chen Zhizhi was speechless and didn't know what to say next.
"How dare you bully me!" Su Jianbai popped his head out from a corner and in the blink of an eye he was standing between Wen Yu and Chen Zhizhi. "You're not willing to eat and drink? You really don't know what's good for you!"
Wen Yu was focused on Chen Zhizhi and ignored Su Jianbai's words.
However, Yu Chang looked at him coldly and immediately told Su Jianbai to shut up.
Although he knew he meant well, Chen Zhizhi still felt overwhelmed.
After all, this was a matter between her and her aunt, and it couldn't be explained in a few words.
She was extremely nervous and could only step forward to pull Su Jianbai away, "Auntie..."
Seeing that he couldn't explain it for a long time, Wen Yu replied calmly: "Let's go, Zhizhi."
"Auntie—" Chen Zhizhi called out hurriedly, and the nervousness and panic in his voice could not be concealed.
Wen Yu felt reluctant, but his expression remained calm.
She couldn't stay here much longer.
If there is unrest in Jiangyang, she will not stand idly by and do nothing.
But if not, she would have to speed up her schedule and go to Central Continent.
Wen Yu didn't look back and walked straight out the door.
"Aunt, please stay—"
But before Wen Yu took two steps, Chen Zhizhi's call sounded again behind her. Wen Yu was helpless, but still felt reluctant.
"Zhizhi—" Wen Yu frowned slightly, and when he turned around, he was also thinking about how to dissuade Chen Zhizhi, "You..."
Wen Yu swallowed all the words that had not yet been spoken, and suddenly no sound came out of his throat.
Looking at the woman who lifted the curtain in front of him, she was dressed in gorgeous silk and satin, with a head full of black hair. A strong scholarly air emanated from her reserved eyebrows and eyes, making her every step like the fluttering of a butterfly.
——Not Zhizhi.
Wen Yu was silent for a moment, suddenly confused about the current situation.
The woman was wearing a sky-blue dress with half a magnolia flower blooming on her cuffs. Unfortunately, perhaps because she had knocked over the inkstone, the white petals were stained with ink.
But she was sure that the word "stay" was indeed spoken by this woman.
That's even weirder.
Chen Zhizhi is the child of Chen Mian and Zhibai, so it is natural for her to call her aunt, and she is willing to treat her as her own junior.
But the girl in blue before me...
She dropped the bead curtain, walked around the counter, and after looking at Chen Zhizhi and Wen Bao, she went straight to Wen Yu.
"Sister! Why did you come just now!" Wenbao muttered softly.
Chen Zhizhi was obviously relieved.
These subtle sounds and changes naturally did not escape the eyes of Wen Yu and Yu Chang.
Yu Chang stood in front of Wen Yu unnoticed, watching the situation with half-closed eyes.
"Auntie, you are so polite." The woman in green looked at Wen Yu intently, then lowered her eyebrows and nodded, "I have long heard of your great name, Auntie. I am so lucky to meet you today. I really—"
Wen Yu frowned, a strange feeling churning in his heart, but he couldn't explain why.
Wen Yu looked past this person and looked at Chen Zhizhi behind him. He was about to ask a question but was suddenly interrupted by a shout from behind.
"Aunt Wenyu!"
"aunt--"
For a moment, Wen Yu even suspected that all this was an illusion, and that she and Yu Chang might have fallen into the pigeon spirit's lair.
It must be so, otherwise why would she always hear the cooing sound.
"Auntie, Ji Bai has met you!"
When this sound was heard, Wen Yu's mind was focused. The sound of the wind and the coldness sweeping behind him showed the anxiety and tension of the person behind him, and it was not difficult to explain Wen Yu's current situation.
It's really a pincer attack...
Closing his eyes, Wen Yu suppressed his doubts and turned around——
A man also wearing fox fur stood side by side with another man in a yellow shirt, but his face was clean-cut and his hair was neatly trimmed. Only the cuffs of his moon-white inner garment revealed that he had arrived in a hurry.
The man in yellow had a head covered in frost and snow, his eyebrows were wet, and the ponytail that was casually tied behind his head was even more disheveled.
He breathed heavily and was not in a hurry. His bright little deer eyes stared straight at Wen Yu, not hiding his curiosity and excitement at all.
Seeing Wen Yu looking at him, he plucked up the courage to say again: "Aunt, I am Ji Bai."
Ji Bai.
Wen Yu had no memory of this name, she just felt it was unfamiliar.
Fortunately, Yu Chang and she were standing back to back, which made her feel a little relieved.
Wen Yu didn't say anything. Her eyes turned and she looked straight past Ji Bai and outside.
A panting white horse and a plain sedan chair were parked under the small fish sign at the entrance of Wen Ji. It was obvious that the man in the fox fur coat came in the sedan chair, while Ji Bai was riding a horse.
But whether they were riding in a sedan chair or on horseback, the common point between the two men was their hurried and hurried steps, carrying with them a chill and coldness as they walked through the night until they stepped into Wenji...
But what is there in the text that is worth doing so?
Wen Yu was full of doubts and looked around hesitantly, but he couldn't figure out the reason.
Even though Ji Bai in front of her called her aunt, she couldn't connect it with herself and just felt confused.
From the time she was born until today, the number of people she knew could be counted on one hand. How could there be so many young people calling her aunt?
She still said the same thing. If she was Chen Zhizhi's aunt, it would be a stretch, but these people...
Could it be that I recognized the wrong person?
