"I didn't!" Lin Zhanyu was not convinced, but his voice was very weak: "Brother, do you really dislike me?"

Wei Qingyun had no choice but to explain softly: "Really, you are much better now than I was when you first became a teacher. I don't care that you are too late."

He looked at the young man in front of him, and felt that this was a good opportunity to make the child more obedient: "You are so good at learning from Master, I will never dislike you."

"Okay!" Lin Zhanyu hurriedly responded, and walked in behind Wei Qingyun: "Don't worry, I don't dare to say anything else, but I will definitely be able to learn from my master. I have already touched a few points, you... ..."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Qingyun shut the door of the room, and the other party only left him a sentence that could not be refuted: "Go to sleep."

After the New Year, as soon as the first month came out, the Qiao family ushered in the first happy event of the new year: Qiao Xiao said that the marriage of the eldest disciple Xue He was finally settled.

The wedding date is set on February [-], a good day when the dragon raises its head.

Xue He has been busy since the twelfth lunar month of last year, shopping, buying a new house, and entertaining guests, he has done everything very carefully.

While the big brother was busy, Lin Zhanyu finally knew what his sister-in-law looked like.

But the girl on the other side didn't recognize the boy, because the boy was hiding in the dark.

This was not done by Lin Zhanyu deliberately, but by coincidence.

On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Qiao said with a smile that he gave Lin Zhanyu some money and a note with the size of their clothes, and ordered the young man to go to the city to pull some cloth, and then took him to the alley next to him to find an old tailor named Ji, and let him Make some new clothes for the New Year according to the latest patterns.

What the boy didn't expect was that when he was about to pick his eyes out among the dazzling piles of floral cloths, there was a familiar voice behind him.

"Chaoyun, which one do you like?" It was Xue He who spoke.

Lin Zhanyu didn't want to meet Xue He face to face, so he quickly hid behind a pile of fabrics.He is thin and slender, and his figure is well hidden.

The end of the new year is approaching, the boss and the guys are so busy that they don't care about this kid at all.He looked out through the gap between the cloth, and saw Xue He and a petite and pretty girl walking in.

He had heard Wei Qingyun mention several times that Xue He's unmarried wife was quite well-known in Nanjing city operas. She used to sing Huadan, but during this time she became Tsing Yi, named "Du Chaoyun".

He took a closer look, and saw that the girl had a round face and a pair of slender and raised phoenix eyes, and described her demeanor as a woman in ancient ladies' pictures.

The two whispered a few words, Lin Zhanyu didn't hear clearly, but the next moment Du Chaoyun changed his face and turned to leave.

His elder brother followed behind him, looking very anxious.This time the young man heard it, and what Xue He said was: "Sister Yun, I did some unreliable things in the past. I was young and foolish. I assure you, from now on I will be where you are, no matter how good it is outside Either way, it has nothing to do with me."

Lin Zhanyu was very curious. He wanted to sneak out through the back door of the shop just now, but now he wanted to watch the excitement for a while.

Miss Du sighed helplessly, pointing to Xue He's forehead: "I'm doing it for your own good too."

"Naturally, I understand in my heart." Xue He hurriedly responded: "Sister Yun, do you still remember the first time we met?"

As he said that, he smiled: "At that time I was still working at Landlord Cui's house. The young master of his family invited your troupe to set up a stage to sing at home. I saw you at a glance. You were young at that time, and the acting Huadan is really bright and lovely."

He secretly took Du Chaoyun's hand: "I didn't expect to meet you later. Yunmei, from now on, I will be tied to you alone. Don't try to deny it."

"It's all about the year of the monkey." Du Chaoyun pretended to be angry, but he always acquiesced to the other party holding him: "Really, what are you talking about."

After listening to it, Lin Zhanyu felt very boring.

The young man had some childish gloating thoughts about watching the excitement, and thought that the two would fight or quarrel, but unexpectedly saw this pair of affectionate mandarin ducks.

In the end, he still left through the back door. There were so many shops selling cloth in the city, he was too lazy to join in the fun.But his mood was exceptionally clear.

Although the young man had various grievances with Xue He in the past, but out of a good heart, what he still thinks at this moment is that if Senior Brother Xue and Miss Du can live a safe and smooth life in the future, it will naturally be a good thing.

Wei Qingjun and Qiao Li helped arrange all the affairs on February [-]nd.Xue He's new house is not far from Qiao's house, and the brothers and sisters have been there all morning.

According to the local customs, the time for the bride to arrive at the new house should not be later than noon, so everyone went there before dawn and was busy preparing.

In the early morning, Qiao Xiaoyan stood in the yard, looked at Xue He who was wearing a red wedding dress not far away, and was stunned for a while before saying, "Son, come here."

"Hey!" Xue He hurriedly put down the work in his hands and walked over quickly.

"People say that master and apprentice are like father and son. In my opinion, this is indeed the truth." Qiao said with a smile, looking at the young people in front of him, he suddenly remembered the down-and-out boy in his teens.

He patted Xue He on the shoulder: "You are the oldest among them, and the one who has spent the longest time with me besides Xiao Qiao. Now that you can start a family, as your master, I feel very relieved .”

"Master," Xue He looked at him, "I was ignorant before, and always made you angry. I..."

"Hey, it's a happy day, don't talk about this." Qiao interrupted him with a smile: "From now on, you and Ms. Du will have a good time, don't touch things that shouldn't be contaminated, lift up the anger in your heart, and follow the right path. Wait After a year or so, add another doll, and the heart of being a teacher will be able to let go."

"Master is talking to big brother, why are you joining in the fun?" Lin Zhanyu was standing aside doing nothing, when he suddenly felt his head was slapped, he looked back, it was Wei Qingyun.

As a young boy, he could not help much. Xue He always consulted Wei Qingyun and Qiao Li for anything.In the past two days, I have been running around during the day, and it is difficult to sleep well at night. Wei Qingyun also has dark circles under her eyes.

But he still looks radiant, and he hasn't even yawned.

"Brother Wei?" Lin Zhanyu was very pleasantly surprised, he rarely saw Wei Qingyun who was so leisurely joking with him: "Are you done?"

Wei Qingyun dragged him out: "No, I'm here to 'catch the strong man'. Come on, help me and your brother Xiao Qiao move things."

After picking up the bride and accompanying him through all the procedures, Lin Zhanyu felt extremely tired.

Qiao said with a smile that he had invited his close relatives and friends to join Xue He's wedding, and he was greeting the guests at this time.The young man walked over and asked Boss Qiao for leave: "Master, I have to work with Brother Wei tonight. I want to go back and rest for a while, and come back when I prepare for the dinner in the afternoon."

What Lin Zhanyu didn't know was that his brother Wei wasn't in Xue He's new residence at the moment.

For the elder brother's marriage, Qiao said with a smile that he was afraid that he would be too busy, so he gave Wei Qingyun the opportunity to go back to the open-air bookstore.The latter valued this very much, for fear of ruining Boss Qiao's brand, he naturally had to go back and recharge his batteries.

So when Lin Zhanyu stepped into the backyard of Qiao's house, he saw the silhouette of Senior Brother Wei.The sun was good that day, and the whole city of Nanjing was warm. The warm spring breeze blew on the young man's face, and blew up the hem of the young man's dark coat, causing the soft fabric to flutter in the breeze.

Wei Qingyun's sleeves were casually rolled up, and Lin Zhanyu noticed that this man didn't seem to be afraid of the cold. Except for the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, his forearms were always exposed outside regardless of the season.

However, Brother Wei didn't know that there was someone staring at him right now.After finally finishing everything, he was very tired and just wanted to let himself go, and he had no time to care about Lin Zhanyu who was standing not far away.

He leaned against the wall, letting the wind blow the young man's head that he had hurriedly arranged in the morning.He squinted, with a blade of grass in his mouth, the slender and green blades of grass hanging down his jaw.He looked like he was about to fall asleep.

Lin Zhanyu suddenly didn't want to go to prepare dinner with his master, he just wanted to stay here.

Here and now, the boy seems to have lost the concept of time.He felt that he didn't stand here for a long time, it should only have passed for a moment, but the strange thing was that during this moment, he could see Wei Qingyun very clearly.

It was not without reason that the young man discovered that Senior Brother Wei had a smooth body when he was out of work: this man's figure was actually very strong and powerful, but because he wore a loose coat like a coat all the year round, coupled with his handsome appearance, this made him He looks like an easy-going and handsome white-faced scholar.

But Lin Zhanyu knows that whether he is gentle or friendly, everything is an illusion.He had heard about it and seen it with his own eyes, when it came to the degree of viciousness and recklessness, Wei Qingyun was no less than anyone he knew.

"Brother!" Lin Zhanyu finally shouted.He walked to Wei Qingyun's side and leaned against the wall side by side with him.

The young man has grown quite a bit. When he first arrived, he had to lift his neck to look at Wei Qingyun, but now he only needs to raise his head slightly.

He compared it, and the top of his head probably didn't quite reach the other's earlobe.

"Why are you back?" Wei Qingyun asked lazily as he removed the blade of grass from his mouth.

"I'm tired," said the boy.

"The child is still tired?" Wei Qingyun narrowed his eyes and squinted at him, then raised his finger and pointed to his room: "Go and rest for a while, that room will be yours alone from now on."

Lin Zhanyu thought for a while: "I won't go."

He doesn't want to go anywhere.After being silent for a while, he leaned over and got closer to Wei Qingyun.

Brother Wei's life is simple and monotonous, but this does not mean rough, on the contrary, Wei Qingyun is the most refined of them.No matter winter or summer, his clothes are folded neatly and stored in the small sandalwood box, so there is always a faint fragrance on them.

Lin Zhanyu couldn't be more familiar with this smell, from the moment the other party caught him in the snowy sky, he was very familiar with it.

The noon sun in early spring made the cotton coat on his body very warm, and the young man lazily leaned against Wei Qingyun, feeling the peace of mind he had not seen for a long time.

"Master brother has his own home." Lin Zhanyu murmured.

Wei Qingyun gave a "hmm" and made fun of him: "Why, are you greedy? Little kid, do you want to marry a wife like others?"

"I'm not greedy, I think it's good now." Uncharacteristically, the young man became serious about Wei Qingyun's joke: "You told me that this is my home too."

"Yes." Wei Qingyun nodded: "This is our home."
