At this time, Xu Dongsheng and Xu Jie, who heard the conversation outside, also came out and looked at Liu Qingmei and Liu Sheng's aunt and nephew who came in. They looked at Lin Tianqi in confusion. Xu Jie stood behind Xu Dongsheng and also looked at these two people in confusion.
The strange woman who came in, especially when she looked at Liu Shengnan, had a hint of vigilance in her eyes.
"This is Master Liu, a friend of the master, who came to see the master. This is Master's niece Liu Shengnan." Lin Tianqi said to Xu Dongsheng, and then introduced Xudong and Xu Jie to Liu Qingmei: "Sister, this is me
Junior brother Xu Dongsheng is also a disciple of the master, and this is Dongsheng’s sister Xu Jie..."
"Hello." Liu Qingmei smiled at Xu Dongsheng and Xu Jie and said hello in a friendly manner.
"It's you, uh... no, it's my master..." Xu Dongsheng also responded. At first, he said you, but then he realized that the other person was his master's friend, his elder, some
It was impolite, so I quickly changed my name to "Sister Aunt", causing embarrassment and looking a little funny.
Xu Jie, who was next to Xu Dongsheng, couldn't help being amused by her elder brother's appearance, and then called Liu Qingmei "Sister Aunt".
"Dongsheng, Xiaojie, please prepare two more pairs of bowls and chopsticks." Lin Tianqi explained to the two of them again.
Xu Dongsheng and Xu Jie understood, nodded, and walked to the backyard kitchen again.
"Senior Sister, you and Junior Sister sit here for a while, and I'll make a pot of tea..."
Lin Tianqi smiled again and turned to Liu Qingmei. When he saw Liu Qingmei, he nodded in response and turned towards the backyard.
"Auntie, I can't tell that this apprentice of Master Lin is not only beautiful, but also has a very considerate heart."
After Lin Tianqi walked into the backyard and looked at Lin Tianqi's back, Liu Shengnan couldn't help but said and praised Lin Tianqi. Although she had never liked Tai Niang's men, Lin Tianqi had been very polite and attentive to them from the time she came in until now.
, which made her impression of Lin Tianqi a bit higher.
"It's indeed pretty good. It's much better than his master. If his master had been half as good as him..."
Lin Qingmei nodded. Her first impression of Lin Tianqi was also good. She was gentle and attentive to others. This made her involuntarily compare herself with Uncle Jiu. She instinctively wanted to say more, but she stopped as soon as she spoke. She thought she was her niece.
, it’s better not to talk too much about these things. When the words came to your lips, you swallowed them back.
When Liu Shengnan saw her aunt hesitate to speak, she became more and more curious, because she found that since the last time she heard about Lin Jiu from her aunt, it seemed that every time she talked about Lin Jiu, her aunt
It was a little subtle, which made her keenly aware that there was a story between her aunt and Lin Jiu.
"Senior brother, do you know Sister Liu and her niece outside?"
On the other side, in the backyard, Lin Tianqi was making tea. Xu Dongsheng, who was helping Xu Jie wash vegetables, also curiously asked him about Liu Qingmei.
Xu Jie was washing the pot and said nothing, but her ears perked up quietly. She was also a little nervous whether Lin Tianqi knew Liu Qingmei's aunt and nephew outside, especially Liu Shengnan, because her thoughts were very divergent.
When she called the other party's aunt, the first thing she thought of was that Lin Tianqi and Uncle Jiu knew each other when they were together. Lin Tianqi and Liu Shengnan had known each other since they were young, and they were childhood sweethearts and so on...
"No, this is the first time I have seen them, and I have never heard the master mention them before."
Lin Tianqi said that he really had no impression of Liu Qingmei's aunt and nephew, and he had never heard his master mention it before.
"Oh" Xu Dongsheng said oh when he heard this and immediately lost interest. Xu Jie, who was standing next to her with her ears pricked up, felt happy and breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
"But-" Lin Tianqi changed his tone again.
"But what?" Xu Dongsheng and Xu Jie looked over.
Lin Tianqi pondered for a moment, thinking that in the movie he watched about his master in his last life, it seemed that his master also had a love affair when he was young, which made him secretly guess whether Liu Qingmei might be his master's old lover.
"It's nothing. We'll find out when the master comes back."
Lin Tianqi shook his head and did not express his guesses. One was because he was not sure, and the other was because he was worried that the words would reach his master's ears. With his master's stingy character like a woman, he would not be able to bear it even if he knew it.
Looking for opportunities to repair himself, he knows his master's character very well, so he is proactive when repairing his apprentice.
"The tea is ready. I'll go out and sit with my sister and the others for a while, and then I'll leave the food to you."
Seeing that the tea was boiling, Lin Tianqi shouted to the two of them, then found a plate and walked to the front yard with the boiled tea.
"Sister Aunt, Junior Sister Liu, have tea..."
Lin Tianqi came to the front yard with tea, poured a cup for the two of them, then poured another cup for himself, and sat down with them.
"Sorry to trouble you." Liu Qingmei smiled politely at Lin Tianqi and took the hot tea.
Liu Shengnan said nothing, but nodded slightly to Lin Tianqi as a sign of thanks.
"It's not troublesome. It's rare for Senior Auntie to come to our place as a guest. It's best that Senior Auntie doesn't dislike it if we only serve this coarse tea." Lin Tianqi said with a smile.
"You do know how to talk." Liu Qingmei smiled again when she heard this, and looked at Lin Tianqi. The more she looked at it, the more incredible she felt. Although Lin Tianqi was a disciple brought by Lin Jiu, his personality was completely opposite: "Your master,
You are like a lump of elm wood, but you are much better than your master."
When Lin Tianqi heard this, he laughed dryly and didn't answer. His master, he didn't dare to discuss it rashly, lest his master would overhear and write it down in a notebook, and quickly change the subject.
"Senior aunt knew my master before?"
"We know each other, but it was a long time ago. When your master and I first met, you were not yet born." Liu Qingmei said, with a look of nostalgia on her face when she said this: "It's not just your master,
I also know many of your senior uncles..."
"At that time, when I first met your master, your master was still just starting out..."
"Senior aunt and my master have known each other for such a long time, so they must have a good relationship," Lin Tianqi said.
"Very good, that's right..." Liu Qingmei smiled lightly and didn't say much.
Lin Tianqi's eyes moved when he heard this, there is a story in this!
"Sister, can you tell me about my master's past? He hasn't told me much about his past since he was a child. I'm very curious."
"He used to be a bit clumsy, timid, and obsessive..."
The two chatted, one big and the other small, and started talking about Uncle Jiu. Lin Tianqi only asked about some of his master's past affairs, and occasionally mentioned the intersection between his master and Sister Liu...
.....
Lin Tianqi didn't ask any in-depth questions, but as he talked with Liu Qingmei, he became more and more convinced of the guess in his heart. There were some stories between his master and Sister Liu.
Liu Shengnan next to him kept looking at Liu Qingmei with a strange look. Although Liu Qingmei and Lin Tianqi kept chatting and found nothing, perhaps because they were in the middle of the game and didn't notice, Liu Shengnan was somewhat aware of it and felt that Lin Tianqi seemed to have ulterior motives.
, making insinuations about the past relationship between his aunt and his master.
However, she didn't say much because she was also somewhat interested in the matter between her aunt and that Taoist Lin.
Time passed, and nearly half an hour passed unknowingly. Lin Tianqi and Liu Qingmei were chatting happily. After chatting, Liu Qingmei became more and more friendly to Lin Tianqi's senses. Xu Dongsheng and Xu Jie also came out of the kitchen.
Several times, I told the three of them that the food was almost ready.
"Creak!"
At this time, the courtyard door opened again, and someone pushed the door in. It was Uncle Jiu.
"Master, you are back."
Lin Tianqi shouted from a distance.
"Um"
Uncle Jiu nodded slightly, his attitude was as neutral as ever, but the next moment, when he saw Liu Qingmei next to Lin Tianqi, his footsteps suddenly stopped, his body froze, and his expression that was neither salty nor bland was slowly faded.
Replaced by consternation.
"Master, this Aunt Liu is here to see you." Lin Tianqi explained to his master in a timely manner, but he felt that his master probably did not hear what he said.
Because at this moment, Uncle Jiu's eyes were all on Liu Qingmei, with an expression of shock and horror.
"Taoist Master Lin."
It wasn't until Liu Shengnan also called Uncle Jiu that Uncle Jiu seemed to come back to his senses.
"Ah...Hello..." His expression was still a little stiff, and then he looked at Liu Qingmei: "Why are you here?"
"You don't welcome me?" Liu Qingmei asked back, looking at Uncle Jiu with a half-smile.
Uncle Jiu's expression was choked, and then he forced a smile.
"How come, sit, sit... Tianqi, and you still don't greet anyone."
Uncle Jiu looked at Lin Tianqi again, but no matter how he looked at it, he seemed to be looking for a way to change the subject.
Lin Tianqi chuckled.
"Master, my aunt and I have been chatting for a long time. My aunt has been waiting for you to come back. Why don't you come and sit down and chat with me? I'll go to the backyard to see if Dongsheng and Xiaojie's food is ready." After that,
Then he looked at Liu Shengnan who was standing aside. "Junior sister Liu, can you help us together?"
Liu Shengnan glanced at Lin Tianqi, then at his aunt and Uncle Jiu at the door, and nodded.
"Master, you and auntie can chat for a while. I'll take junior sister Liu into the kitchen to help."
Seeing Liu Shengnan stand up, he said to his master again. After saying that, he ignored his master's murderous gaze and walked towards the backyard with Liu Shengnan.
