Zhao Shinan stood quietly and looked at Du Heng after removing his heavy makeup, a small face, a pointed chin, delicate and small facial features, although delicate and lovely, but there is nothing unique. The sixteen-year-old young and childish face made Zhao Shinan still not interested. Zhao Shinan likes women with taste, Su Xiaoyi, the new little drama in Yihong Pavilion, or Bai Jinhai, the trendy cousin Bai Zhi who is studying in a women's university, are more popular with Zhao Shinan than the little girl in front of him.

But Su Xiaowei definitely can't marry a wife, and because Bai Zhi is a trendy figure, not only Mrs. Zhao can't see it, but the entire Yangzhou City is stunning, Zhao Shinan doesn't want to be difficult in the clan for women. What's more, such a big family business has actually been in his own hands, and there must be a limit to the debauchery of the skeleton, and Zhao Shinan does not dare to be too perverse in the matter of marrying a wife and starting a family. So I picked it up and picked it up, and used the most solemn etiquette to marry a girl who was unfamiliar and didn't look at it. But like this, if you put it in the house, at least you can rest assured.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shinan coughed vigorously, watched the little body move like a cat, and then raised his eyes to look at Zhao Shinan. If you want to say that this girl still has one thing that is moving, it is these eyes, clear and smart, Zhao Shinan heard his heart thump.

When Du Heng saw the man in front of him, a spirit jumped up from the stool, and his tone was a little timid: "Awake?"

Zhao Shinan provoked a polite smile on his lips: "Prepare to prepare, and I will go to the tea later." As he spoke, he lifted the curtain and went to the outer room of the bedroom. Two subordinates came in response, a girl Shuangye who was two years younger than Du Heng, and a mother Wu who was in her forties, and began to serve Du Heng with a wash. He changed into a long-sleeved short gown with red trim and Suzhou embroidery, and wore a long red silk skirt of the same color. Wu's mother dressed up Du Heng and combed his hair. Even the face was Xie Fuchun's incense powder, and Du Heng secretly sighed that the Zhao family was still rich after all.

Mother Wu squeezed the bangs in front of Du Heng's forehead, and the smooth forehead and combed bun made Du Heng lose his mind and be ignorant and unwilling, so he changed from a big girl to a little lady.

Dressed up, Du Heng followed Zhao Shinan one after the other, through the flower path between the courtyards, from the new house in the northeast corner courtyard, to the front hall of the main house, which is the place where Mrs. Zhao entertains guests on weekdays, and at the back of the main hall, the main hall is where Zhao Shinan meets important guests. At this time, the housekeepers of the Zhao family were gathered.

Walked to the steps in front of the house, Zhao Shinan paused, waiting for Du Heng to follow, the two big girls prepared on both sides, and the two "Quanfu people" with complete parents and children, held up two big red silk umbrellas on the heads of Zhao Shinan and Du Heng, and said the auspicious words of "spreading branches and leaves" in their mouths, and took a colorful head.

Zhao Shinan didn't have any expression on his face, Du Heng's face was flushed, he was flustered, and he almost tripped over the steps under his feet, Zhao Shinan pulled Du Heng's arm and grabbed her steadily, Du Heng twisted, broke Zhao Shinan's hand away, missed his half-step distance, and walked into the room back and forth.

There was an elderly mother-in-law who led her, starting with Mrs. Zhao, and introduced them in turn. Zhao Shinan's father died a few years ago, and now among the relatives of the Zhao family, Zhao Shinan's mother, Mrs. Zhao, is respected.

The eldest grandmother, grandmother, aunt and aunt in the clan, Zhao Shinan and Du Heng knelt down to serve tea at the same time, and the sister-in-law of the same generation as Zhao Shinan just Du Heng bowed his knees slightly, and then got up and stood with Zhao Shinan to serve tea.

I don't know how much I respected, Du Heng's brain was dizzy, and the only feeling was that there were so many people in the Zhao family. Suddenly, the mother-in-law pointed to a woman who was dressed simply, with timid eyebrows and eyes, and said, "This is the aunt of the third uncle of Cheng Yuan." The tone was not very respectful. Du Heng was stunned, Zhao Chengyuan was Zhao Lingquan's stepfather, and Du Heng's hand holding the teacup suddenly began to tremble.

The woman looked at Du Heng with a somewhat complicated look, took a shallow sip of tea, hurriedly put a tightly tied red envelope on the tray held by the girl behind Du Heng, and lowered her head.

After the tea ceremony, while preparing for the lunch banquet, Mrs. Zhao slowly told Du Heng about the origin rules of the Zhao family. It is a lecture for the bride. Old Mrs. Zhao spoke calmly on weekdays, with a calm and majestic tone, but she was very gentle to Du Heng.

Du Heng listened to it for a long time, and understood that there were so many relatives, although they lived together, in fact, each family had a small courtyard separated by it, except for the New Year's holidays or major events, they all lived their own small days behind closed doors. And Mrs. Zhao here, there is only Zhao Shinan, the only son, and Zhao Shinan's widowed second aunt lives with a daughter. Du Heng heard rumors that Zhao Shinan also had a younger brother, but Mrs. Zhao did not introduce it, and Du Heng did not dare to ask.

The banquet at noon is actually the purpose of a female family to check the bride's demeanor, although Du Heng is spoiled at home, the rules are a lot, although he is young, the etiquette is not bad. In the end, it is everyone's beautiful demeanor. After eating a meal, Mrs. Zhao's eyebrows and corners of her eyes were stretched.

After the meal, everyone dispersed, and Zhao Shinan went out to run errands again. Mrs. Zhao took Du Heng's hand, chatted more gently and cordially, and talked about Zhao Shinan's preferences. For example, Zhao Shinan likes to eat light and slightly sweet things, Zhao Shinan doesn't sleep very well, don't alarm him when he falls asleep----- Du Heng's face blushed for a while, white for a while, his mind was full of Zhao Shinan, nothing else, only remembered that Zhao Shinan likes to play chess, Du Heng's heart moved, and secretly wrote it down.

Zhao Shinan didn't come back early in the evening, Du Heng accompanied Mrs. Zhao back to the room after dinner and was about to fall asleep, so Zhao Shinan came back tired.

Shuangye, who served Du Heng, saw Zhao Shinan enter the house, and immediately lowered his eyebrows and retreated. Du Heng also hurriedly stood up from the couch. Zhao Shinan stood in front of Du Heng, his eyes were not raised, he naturally opened his arms slightly, and his nose gently "hummed".

Du Heng was stunned for a moment, what does this mean? He just stared at Zhao Shinan with puzzled eyes. Zhao Shinan had no choice but to say two more words: "Change clothes." Du Heng's face flushed, his fingers trembled slightly, and he unbuttoned Zhao Shinan's robe one by one, looking at Zhao Shinan's chest of undulating breathing, Du Heng felt as if a mountain was pressing in front of him. Thinking that this man was his husband, and he had to do those things that husband and wife did, Du Heng almost wanted to run away.

"Are you afraid of me?" Zhao Shinan glanced at Du Heng obliquely, the corners of his lips rose and smiled slightly.

"Nope. Du Heng's voice was trembling, and he put the robe he had taken off on the wooden frame outside.

"Rest. Zhao Shinan sat on the bed and looked at Du Heng with a smile.

Du Heng's heart tugged at his throat, his brain turned quickly, he gritted his teeth, looked back at Zhao Shinan, and smiled hard: "It's a little early to rest now, it's better to ----" Du Heng's voice stopped.

"Why don't you do something?" Zhao Shinan was a little tired, although he was not interested in looking at this girl, but he was inevitably humane after all. I just want to get an early rest.

"The old lady said, you like to play chess, it just so happens that when I was not out of the cabinet, I also like to play chess, three days before I went out of the cabinet, I played a game for my brother, and he didn't solve it until the day of the wedding. It's still early, why don't we talk about a game?" Du Heng's eyes were shining.

Zhao Shinan was a little displeased, he looked at Du Heng, and he couldn't jump anywhere, but he couldn't like it anywhere. For example, she is not ugly, but she is not moving; for example, she is a young lady, and her every move in the morning gives him a long face, but her manners and actions are not charming; for example, she does not call her mother-in-law an old lady, although she is more respectful, but she is always unkind.

Zhao Shinan wanted to refuse, but the sentence that her brother had not solved the chess game for three days made him itch in his heart, Zhao Shinan was a person who was unwilling to admit defeat, and couldn't help but say when he heard this: "Okay." ”

Put the chess pieces, Du Heng took the black first, Zhao Shinan Baizi followed, didn't take two steps, Du Heng Mimi smiled: "If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that you will win the game before it can be placed, why don't I put the chess game out directly?"

"Good. Zhao Shinan didn't want to be verbose, so he gave up and waited for Du Heng's game. Du Heng put the chess pieces in a few strokes, held his hand on his cheek and said leisurely: "But how to solve it?"

Zhao Shinan also came to the momentum, looking at the chess game in front of him, knocking on the chess pieces in his hand, pondering. Du Heng moved the candle to him, and ordered Futaba to bring snacks and lotus seed soup, and looked at Zhao Shinan with expectation.

Zhao Shinan was looked at by her like this, and his heart jumped "bang" again, as if there was a raging fire, making him stare at the chess game and think intently about the trick to resolve it. But this game of chess is extremely exquisite, restraining each other, and as soon as the whole body is moved, no matter which one is moved, it seems to be a dead game, Zhao Shinan's brows furrowed tightly.

Du Heng sat quietly opposite Zhao Shinan, watching his brows tightened, Du Heng's tense heart gradually eased. It was raining outside the house, the lights in the house were flickering on and off, Du Heng cut the candles for a while, ate some snacks for a while, and looked at Zhao Shinan like a statue in the chess game.

Until the second half of the night, Du Heng fell asleep with his hands on his forehead, and Zhao Shinan gradually became sleepy as he stared at the chess game and fell asleep.

The scene of the next morning was Du Heng and Zhao Shinan, one east and one west, reclining on both sides of the table on the bed, and there was a game of chess and a burned-out red candle on the table.

Zhao Shinan woke up and looked at the chess game he hadn't solved, feeling a little unwilling. In the next two days, I went to the silk factory during the day, and as long as I stepped through the door every night, I couldn't help but think of that game of chess. Unexpectedly, the inconspicuous little girl was still a Go master, and Zhao Shinan looked at Du Heng a little differently. didn't solve the chess game, Du Heng was always dangling in front of him like a hill that he couldn't conquer, and Zhao Shinan lost interest in entering the Luo account with Du Heng.
