She Is From The Countryside

After a while, the bamboo garden arrived.

Shi Yan sent him to the gate of Zhuyuan and let go.

"Here we are," she said.

It seems that there is no plan to send him into the yard.

The man looked at her, and said politely: "Ma'am, please take me back. It's hot, and I'm thirsty after pushing me all the way. Go in and have a cup of tea before leaving?"

"No need, the lunch prepared by Grandma Jiang has been delivered to the small courtyard where I live, and the food will be cold if I don't go back."

One sentence reveals a lot.

The man didn't force it, and it seemed that he was just asking politely just now.

Handed the book to her: "Then I won't keep any more, thank you miss for sending me back, and I will come to pay my respects some other day."

Taking the book over, Shi Yan smiled lightly: "It's a little effort, you're welcome."

Nodding his head, he turned and left.

A man walked out of the yard, a young man in his thirties.

"Fifth Lord, you..."

The girl had gone away, and the man stopped staring at the girl's back, glanced at the speaker, and interrupted him.

"Go in," the man said.

Jiang Lin glanced at Shi Yan's back as he walked away, and then came over and pushed the wheelchair into the house without asking any questions.

The wheelchair entered the courtyard, and Jiang Lin heard the man ask: "Not long ago, the housekeeper reported that the old house had a visitor. Is it a country girl who saved the old lady?"

"Yes, fifth master."

Jiang Lin recalled that Jiang Hai came to Zhuyuan one night half a month ago. At that time, Fifth Master was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, and he was sitting idly by and playing games with his mobile phone on silent. When Jiang Hai came, Fifth Master only looked at Jiang Hai at first, and then his gaze was on the newspaper in his hand.

It can be seen that Fifth Master didn't care about this matter at the time, but now he took the initiative to ask.

It seems that the girl who sent Master Wu back just now is the guest who lives in the old house.

"What's her name?"

Jiang Lin was surprised in his heart, but didn't show it on his face: "Shi Yan, Shi Shi's Shi, Yanxia's Yan."

"Shi Yan..."

The man murmured the name softly, and there was an indescribable lingering feeling.

"A girl from the country?" he asked again.

"Yes, Lord Wu, I have someone check it out. Ms. Shi has indeed lived in the country for many years. She used to live with her grandma. Since her grandma passed away at the age of 13, she has lived alone until now. But Shi Miss Shi and her grandmother did not live in that village before she was ten years old. According to the information found, Miss Shi’s grandmother who had been away from home for many years brought her, the only remaining granddaughter, back home after her son and daughter-in-law died unexpectedly. home."

Seeing the man looking at him, before the man could ask any more questions, Jiang Lin hurriedly explained: "Suddenly there is a stranger living in the Jiang family's old house in Haicheng, and the details must always be investigated. After all, you are living here, Mr. Wu. it's here."

"Where did she live until she was ten years old?"

"I can't find it." Having said that, Jiang Lin's expression became a little dignified.

Jiang Hai came to report that there would be guests staying in the old house, even though he didn't listen to Jiang Hai's account of the matter at that time, he sent someone to investigate carefully afterwards. But he personally sent someone to investigate, but he couldn't find out where Shi Yan lived before he was ten years old.

No one in the neighborhood knew where the old lady of the Shi family and her granddaughter Shi Yan lived before returning to their hometown, except for the old lady of the Shi family who had passed away, only Shi Yan knew.

"Can't find it?" The man repeated his words, but there was not much surprise on his face.

Maybe it's because she's used to not showing emotions, maybe she's... already guessing.

Without another word, Jiang Lin pushed him into the room.

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Lin asked, "Fifth Master, do you need me to send someone to investigate?"

In fact, the people he sent out have not come back yet, and they are still investigating. He asked this mainly because he saw that the fifth master had a different attitude towards Miss Shi, and wanted to know whether those people who had been sent out to investigate the news would stay. keep checking,

Still call it back.

Speaking of Fifth Master's different attitude towards Miss Shi, Jiang Lin couldn't help but think of the scene outside the door just now.

Let Miss Shi take him back and forget it, but the fifth master even invited her into the house for tea.

Why did Fifth Lord take the initiative to invite anyone into his yard? Even the members of the Jiang family have set foot in this yard so far, and there are only a handful of them.

"No need." The man said lightly.

In other words, all the people who were sent out were called back.

Jiang Lin understood immediately.

Xiao Zhao poured a cup of warm water for Shi Yan and put it by her hand. Seeing that Shi Yan's smile was a little brighter than usual, he couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Miss Shi, I think you are in a good mood, because today's food is very appetizing. ?"

"Yeah, it's very appetizing." Shi Yan responded with a smile.

"Have you eaten, Miss Zhao? Would you like to sit down and eat?"

"I've eaten, you don't have to worry about me. Today's dishes suit Miss Shi's appetite, so I'll ask the kitchen to cook these dishes every few days and send them to Miss Shi?"

"Okay, thank you, Miss Zhao."

Good-looking people are seductive, but good-looking people who love to laugh are even more seductive.

Xiao Zhao only felt that every moment with Shi Yan was a visual feast, and his mood improved accordingly.

"By the way, Miss Shi, why did you come back now? Did you encounter something? Or did you meet someone that delayed your return?"

After getting along for so many days, Xiao Zhao already knows that Shi Yan is a very time-conscious person, and he never procrastinates in doing things. Every time he calls her to ask her to come back for dinner, if she is reading at the pavilion in the lotus pond, it will be fifteen at the latest. Be back in minutes.

Today, almost forty minutes have passed since she called Miss Shi until Miss Shi came back. That is to say, the weather is relatively hot, otherwise the dishes will be cold.

"I met someone." Shi Yan said with a smile.

There is nothing to hide about this, unless she no longer has any interaction with him in the future, someone will find out sooner or later. It's better to be open than to be secretive.

"I really met someone. Who did Miss Shi meet? Is it someone from the family who came back tonight's family dinner or a guest?"

The Jiang family’s old house is very large and there are many owners. Xiao Zhao is not very clear about whether there are any guests and when they will come to the door, and she doesn’t think that the servants who can delay Shi Yan’s return to eat will be the servants of the family, so there is such a saying: ask.

"I don't know if it's a guest or someone else who came back for the family dinner. I didn't ask much, but that person is in a wheelchair."

With a sound of "哐嘡", it was Xiao Zhao's mobile phone that fell from his hand to the ground in shock.

"Miss Shi, tell me, is the person you met sitting in a wheelchair?!"

After spending so much time with Xiao Zhao, Xiao Zhao is relatively stable. She reacted so strongly at this time, Shi Yan couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly.

"Yes what's the matter?"

He glanced at Xiao Zhao's phone that fell on the ground, and said, "Pick up the phone first, and see if it's broken."

Who is in the mood to control the phone now!

Xiao Zhao clamored in her heart, but she was afraid that Shi Yan would be frightened by her overreaction, so she tried to suppress the shock and worry in her heart and picked up the phone first.

"Fortunately, it didn't break." Shi Yan said looking at the mobile phone Xiao Zhao was holding.

Xiao Zhao was really not in the mood to control the phone, put the black screen aside, and asked eagerly: "Miss Shi, is the person you saw a man or a woman? How old is it? What does it look like?"

In fact, I already had guesses in my heart, but Xiao Zhao still wanted to ask a little bit more clearly. What if she was wrong, and Miss Shi met the person she thought she was not?

"A man in his twenties who looks... very good-looking."

In fact, "good-looking" is not enough to describe that person.

Even she, who has never been affected by beauty in the slightest, felt amazed, how could it be so simple as being good-looking.

Xiao Zhao was in a hurry: "Then Miss Shi, you delayed your time and came back late... because you bumped into the other party and were left behind?"
