It was a strange man's voice, slightly muffled, but not drowned out by the boiling voices of people on the long street, and stopped in his ears unexpectedly clear.

Shen Shu was stunned when she heard this, although she knew in her heart that with the situation of the original owner, it was impossible to meet someone she knew when she went shopping, but the voice was so close, how could it be so coincidental that someone with the same name and surname appeared in such a small place.

She subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction where the voice was coming from.

Not far from her stood a man in an azure robe, in his twenties, with a long body and clear eyebrows, revealing a bookish smell.

Obviously, he hadn't really seen this person, and he only glimpsed it in that dream, but at this moment, when he appeared in front of him, Shen Shu knew that this was the little scholar that the original owner had in mind.

In the memory of the original owner, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and for Shen Shu, he was indeed only a little scholar. But in fact, he was older than the original owner.

"It's really you, Shen Shu!" Seeing Shen Shu turn around, the little scholar's eyes were full of surprise for a moment, because of excitement, the voice of the exit was a little imperceptible trembling.

Shen Shu looked at him for a moment before nodding slightly.

"I, I......" he stood there, giving a feeling of helplessness.

The crowd came and went, although they were busy with their own affairs and did not look this way, but the long street was not the place to talk after all. Shen Shu's eyes swept around, and when she saw a teahouse not far away, she asked the little scholar to change places to talk.

The little scholar nodded hurriedly, and stepped forward in a few steps to lead the way.

Shen Shu asked him to go over first, she had to send Sister Hui back to the carriage first, and then bring the maid over. Under the strict feudal etiquette, it is impossible for her current identity to meet strange men alone, nor can she bring Sister Hui over.

Because of the obsession of the original owner, she was originally going to find a way to find the little scholar, but now she met by coincidence, and she just made it clear by the way, and she didn't have to make an appointment next time, because there was no need to see her again in the future.

In ancient times, the relationship between men and women almost did not exist as an option.

After Shen Shu finished talking to the scholar, she was ready to take Sister Hui to the place where the carriage was parked. The latter looked at her with a complicated expression, and suddenly called her before leaving, "Mother......"

"What's wrong?" asked Shen Shu.

Sister Hui shook her head, "It's okay." ”

"Let's go. Shen Shu took her hand and took her away.

Sister Hui walked along, looking at the scholar next to her, and saw that his expression suddenly became a little stiff, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

This man who suddenly appeared, the way he looked at Shen Shu was the eyes of a man looking at a woman, which Sister Hui could see. After that, she made tentative remarks, and the other party's reaction also confirmed this. But she had never seen this person in her previous life, and Shen Shu's reaction was clearly that she knew this person.

Who is he and what is his relationship with Shen Shu?

In this life, some things are different, and she doesn't know whether these variables are good or bad.

Sister Hui'er's heart was full of doubts, and at the same time, there was hidden worry.

――

After Shen Shu sent Sister Hui back to the carriage, she took Liuli to the teahouse to meet the scholar, and he asked for a private room, which was on the second floor near the window.

Liuli didn't know where to go, followed Shen Shu all the way to the teahouse, went up to the second floor, and when he walked to the door of the private room, Shen Shu suddenly stopped and let the shopkeeper who led the way go down first. "Ma'am, what's wrong?" she asked.

"I brought you here just to avoid the words 'lonely man and widow', and what I may talk about later is not something unseemly, but this does not mean that you can sue others at will, and this scope of others includes everyone except you and me. Can you do it, Liuli?" Shen Shu looked at her with a serious expression as she spoke.

When Liuli heard this, her eyes widened for a moment, and her eyes were full of surprise. Under Shen Shu's gaze, she came to her senses for a long time, gritted her teeth and nodded.

"Good. Shen Shu nodded, turned around and was about to push the door, but it happened that at this time, the door was suddenly pulled open from the inside, and from the slowly widening gap, a familiar and unfamiliar face was seen.

For the original owner, this face was almost carved into the depths of the soul. For Shen Shu, it's just a task object.

Looking at each other, both of them were stunned for a moment, and then each took a half step back.

The scholar opened the door and made a gesture of invitation. Shen Shu nodded slightly, raised her feet and stepped in. Liuli, who was following her, widened her eyes again, and after being stunned at the door for a moment, she hurriedly followed in, stretched out her hand and closed the door.

Bypassing the screen painted with Junzi Orchid, he came to a mahogany round table, Shen Shu and the scholar sat opposite each other, and Liuli poured tea for the two of them first, and then stood aside.

Shen Shu took a sip of tea and put it down, and the scholar was speechless, and after a long time, she spoke first, "You ......"

Before she could open her mouth, the scholar suddenly said, "I'm sorry." ”

Shen Shu was stunned when she heard this, and then listened to him continue, "I broke my promise at the beginning, and I originally agreed to go to the door and ...... the next day But because something happened at home, I couldn't separate / body, and then I was behind for a while, and when I went to Shen's house again, I heard that you ......" When he said these words, his tone lowered his eyebrows slightly, but the sadness in his tone could be heard.

Shen Shu was silent for a moment and asked, "If I could, I would like to know what happened at the beginning." ”

The scholar did not hide it, and briefly told her what happened at the beginning.

――

The scholar was raised by his mother alone, and until the age of sixteen, he thought his father was dead. The scholar's mother is the only daughter of a small landlord family in the Jiangnan territory, his mother died early, and his father had a deep relationship with his deceased wife, and did not continue the string, so he made up his mind to raise his daughter and recruit a son-in-law.

Seeing that his daughter is growing up day by day, but the choice of son-in-law has not yet been seen, the landlord is worried. Later, one day, the maid rescued a teenager in the river in front of the door, and the landlord originally saved people out of kindness, but he didn't expect that the boy would wake up and remember nothing, and he forgot his name and where he lived.

Although the young man was dressed and couldn't see anything, his appearance was very good, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, red lips and white teeth, and the scholar's mother accidentally saw him and fell in love with him. The scholar's mother has been a straightforward character since she was a child, and she didn't hide it when she liked it, and told the landlord directly.

The landlord also likes the young man's talent, but he is worried that he will remember the past in the future. The father and daughter deliberated for a long time, and finally decided to observe first, and this observation took more than a year. The boy still couldn't think of anything, but he got along with the scholar's mother, and after the landlord asked his opinion, he set a wedding date for the two.

Soon after the wedding, the scholar's mother became pregnant, and the two lived a happy life of Qin Se and Ming. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and more than a year after the two got married, the teenager had an accident when he went out to collect rent, fell into the boiling river, and never came back.

The scholar's mother was sad for a long time, and finally survived because of the child in her belly.

Day after day, year after year, the child grew up day by day, inherited his father's appearance, was born handsome, extraordinarily handsome, and intelligent, not only with an excellent memory, but also with his comprehension, and it was not a problem to draw inferences.

The scholar's mother sent him to the most famous academy in the neighborhood, and she found a place to live nearby so that she could take care of him. This choice was chosen next door to Shen Shu's house.

When the scholar was sixteen years old, his father, whom everyone thought was dead, appeared, because the scholar's appearance noticed him, but he forgot the scholar's mother. He has a wife that Ming Media is marrying, and there are many concubines in the family, but for some reason he only has two daughters.

Because of the appearance of this person, the scholar's original plan to let his mother go to the Shen family to propose marriage was disrupted, and the mother and son also suffered a lot for this, and finally had to compromise.

The scholar was included in his family tree, his mother was a noble concubine, and Beppu lived separately. Call the main room as the mother, and call the biological mother as the mother.

――

"Then what should I call you now?" asked Shen Shu.

"I have always been Luo Chengyao. One day, I will be just Luo Chengyao. The scholar replied, his eyelids lowered to hide his hatred.

Shen Shu looked at him and suddenly sighed, "You don't have to say you're sorry, because it's not your fault, even if it wasn't like that, you wouldn't have been able to see her...... I was taken to Jian'an by my mother early in the morning of the second day of the appointment, and I never had a chance to return there. ”

There, it refers to the Shen family's mansion in the south of the Yangtze River, the corner where they met and met.

For the first time, Shen Shu realized that fate is such a thing, which cannot be seen or touched, but it is real. Between the original owner and Luo Chengyao, there is really no fate, because they met and met by coincidence, but they were finally separated by fate. The Luo family's sudden accident, Shen Shu's body couldn't help herself, no matter which party insisted, they couldn't turn the tide, they were destined to not be together.

"I originally wanted to say sorry to you, but I broke my promise, but I didn't expect to hear the same words from you. I'm very sorry that you told me what happened in the first place, but unfortunately I can't tell you the same. ”

"Thank you for your hospitality. Shen Shu said, stood up, called Liuli to prepare to leave, and after a pause before leaving, she turned around to look at Luo Chengyao and said with a smile, "I still want to sue you, the Shen Shu you know is no longer there, that time was the happiest time in her life, thank you for me for her." ”

"Goodbye, Luo Chengyao. ”

After that, Shen Shu took Liuli and left without looking back.
