Chapter 289: Promised Her

Wei Yunji stopped, and the girl ran to him, her cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes looked at him shyly.

This is Lin Yuqin, the fourth lady from the Lin Mansion.

"Is there anything wrong?"

"Uncle San said, let you go to Huxin Pavilion, he will tell you if he has something to do." Lin Yuqin said, "My maid brought up a lantern, let's take you there."

Her third uncle is his third uncle.

Mr. Lin didn't know what he was going to do, so he almost couldn't catch up with the New Year's Eve dinner. He rushed over at the end of the meal. After eating, he gave Wei Yunji a look and then hurried out again.

His eyes seemed to be about something to tell Wei Yunji.

Now Wei Yunji wanted to find him, and asked if there was anything wrong. So now Lin Yuqin was just here to talk about this, Wei Yunji subconsciously nodded and prepared to go over.

But there was snow outside, so he didn't want her to go with her.

"I can just go there myself, you don't need to lead the way." He has been here since childhood and is familiar with Huxinting, so he naturally knows where Huxinting is.

Holly came over quickly, "Miss Four, otherwise please give me the lantern."

He was the young master's follower, so he was naturally illuminating the road with a lantern.

"I'm almost passing by Huzi when I go back to the yard, and I just happened to send Brother Yunji over." Lin Yuqin said to Dongqing, "Dongqing, you might as well send the food that my grandmother gave to Brother Yunji to the carriage first, and come to pick up Brother Yunji later."

There was such a thing in the past. Mrs. Lin prepared a lot of snacks and candies every year for Wei Yunji to take back. He said that there were few people in the General's Mansion, so he would definitely not prepare these, so he didn't have to buy them. It happened to be a good meal after the New Year's Eve dinner.

There are 20 or 30 boxes piled up, and it is hard to get one person.

These habits have been developed over the years, so Holly also thinks it makes sense. After all, this is the Lin Mansion, and it is the young master's second home, so you don't have to be too cautious about anything.

"Young Master, then I'll take the things to the carriage first."

"Yeah, go."

Wei Yunji nodded and walked towards the small lake in Lin Mansion.

Lin Yuqin took the maid with her lanterns and walked on the snow and hurriedly followed. "Brother Yunji, wait for me."

Today, Wei Yunji also drank some wine. The Lin Mansion was very big, and the winding paths were everywhere. The snow on the road swept to both sides. Some children in the distance played with firecrackers, and there were bangs coming from time to time. However, the garden near the lake was secluded. Because this place was wide and windy, it was too cold.

The small lake was not completely frozen. There was a thin layer of ice on the water surface, which should be transparent. Under the snow, it looked cold and cold.

"Brother Yunji, don't walk so fast, the road is slippery." Lin Yuqin was a little tired after following him. Wei Yunji said that she didn't need her to lead the way. Benton really walked forward all the way, and did not walk slowly with her.

He is tall and has long legs, so he has to let her take three steps, so he is too tired to follow.

"I don't need a lantern when you go back." Wei Yunji said this, and saw the cold and steep surface of the lake in his eyes, and he had already seen it.

At this moment, a girl's voice suddenly sounded in his ears-

Wei Yunji, can you not go to the water on New Year’s Eve?

Wei Yunji's steps suddenly stopped.

He suddenly stopped, and Lin Yuqin, who was rushing to catch up, almost hit his back. Wei Yunji sided with his body, avoided her and let her fall forward.

"Miss Four!" Fortunately, the maid quickly supported her, otherwise Lin Yuqin would have to fall to the ground.

Lin Yuqin's heart was pounding after stopping, and she was frightened. If she really fell down, she would be embarrassed and might be injured.

She glanced at Wei Yunji with a little resentful look. "Brother Yunji, what's wrong with you? Come over quickly, Uncle San is waiting."

There is indeed a figure in the pavilion, because there is still a distance, and only the snow light can see clearly, and it is impossible to tell who it is.

Wei Yunji turned around without hesitation and went back to the way he came.

Lin Yuqin was stunned. He waited until he took a few steps before he realized. He hurriedly carried his skirt and chased after him again, "Brother Yunji!"

Wei Yunji didn't stop, and the little girl's voice was still echoing in his ears. Can you not go to the water?

He promised her.

This time, Lin Yuqin could not keep up with his pace, and soon there was no sign of Wei Yunji.

She stamped her feet, and was so tired that she vomited white smoke and panted.

"Miss Four, why did General Wei leave suddenly?" The maid was very tired when she was carrying the lantern. Such a cold sky made their foreheads sweat.

"How do I know!" Lin Yuqin gritted her teeth, "What should I do?"

"Do you have to go to the pavilion to explain to that person? You said that General Wei had something urgent to leave so that the lady would not be angry."

"It's so annoying. It's so cold and bad weather. I'm going to work on them!" Lin Yuqin stomped her feet again, but she felt relieved. Maybe it would be a good thing for Brother Yunji not to go?

Wei Yunji returned to the front yard, and several children rushed over when they saw him.

"Cousin Wei, did you pretend to be the New Year's money wrong?"

"Yes, the New Year's money is wrong!"

Wei Yunji's expression was faint, "That's right."

"But there are only five copper plates in each red paper seal!" a half-old boy roared.

It used to be a handful of golden seeds, but now it has five copper plates. Isn’t this too much difference?

"Well, didn't I say it? I will save money in the future, so I can't give you much. Five copper coins are good."

He saw how Ruan Jiaoyan's delicate little girl worked hard to make money. It was so cold and so heavy snow. She had to sit on the street with scissors, cut paper, and earn money from a window grille, a copper plate, and three copper plates.

Too hard.

That scene kept popping up in his mind when he was about to prepare New Year's money for the children of the Lin family, so he decided to change his previous habit of making a handful of golden melon seeds each year, and each person had five copper coins in place.

The children of the Lin family have been rich and frugal since childhood, so why should they do so much? Besides, he is just a cousin and has not yet started a family, so he shouldn't have given them.

Wei Yunji felt that his money should be saved.

"Why are you so stingy with that much money?" A child screamed, and his face turned red with anger.

"That's right, cousin, you are alone in guarding the general's mansion, who will you spend if you don't spend it?" Another child also shouted.

Wei Yunji narrowed his eyes slightly.

He suddenly felt a little disappointed. These children would definitely not think of this. Now they would shout out so angrily, which means that adults usually said such things to them. The general's mansion should be spent on them.
