Chapter 114: Inside the Window, Outside the Window
Qiao Zhao seemed to feel something, and raised his eyes to look. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The young man's eyes by the window facing the street were hazy, like a veil of moon that shrouded in secrets, and his cheeks were like fire, outlining his cold jade-like face more and more dazzlingly.
It's Shao Mingyuan.
Why is he here? West Avenue has always been a gathering place for civilian residences.
Could it be that Grandpa Li is giving him a problem again?
Qiao Zhao looked at Shao Mingyuan quietly and shook his head secretly.
He is already cold and poisonous, and he still drinks recklessly, is he not aware of his physical condition, or does he not care?
If he didn't know, wouldn't Grandpa Li plan to tell him?
If he knows and doesn't care, he is young and has risen to the top, why is this?
Qiao Zhao's thoughts drifted a little far away all of a sudden, drifting to the two years of Houmen life that she had never been very willing to recall.
Speaking of which, since she married into the Jing'an Hou Mansion, the food and clothing are all the best, and her mother-in-law, Mrs. Jing'an Hou, even took the initiative to exempt her from asking for peace every day, and everyone in the mansion was polite to her.
But in those two years, she just had a feeling of being out of place with the Hou Mansion, as if she was not the second young grandmother of the Hou Mansion in Jing'an, but a canary kept in a cage.
She had thought that maybe Shao Mingyuan was not in Beijing, she was a bride, or a bride who had never been with the groom for a day, and from the perspective of her mother-in-law, she must have hoped that she would behave more rules, so as not to cause gossip.
But gradually, I realized that something was wrong.
Her mother-in-law, Mrs. Jing'an Hou, doesn't seem to have much concern for her second son who was born and died in the north, which makes people feel especially deeply at the reunion banquet of the New Year and the Mid-Autumn Festival, to be precise, she feels particularly deeply, and the Hou Mansion seems to be accustomed to it.
Only the father-in-law Jing Anhou often mentioned the second son, urging Mrs. Hou to send shoes, socks, clothes and other things to the north regularly, although Mrs. Hou should come down, but the coldness in her eyes could not be covered.
She couldn't help but think, even if they are flesh and blood, will they be estranged because of years of gathering less and leaving more?
She and her parents are also less together and more separated, think about it carefully, the relationship between her mother and brother is indeed deeper, and even the demeanor inadvertently revealed when she gets along with her sister is more natural and intimate than when she is in contact with her.
Perhaps, distance is really a terrible thing.
Later, her mother-in-law offered to send her to the Northland, and brought her a promise from the Son of Heaven, which she could not refuse. At that time, she even had some expectations when she thought of leaving the cage-like Hou Mansion.
The Northern Expeditionary Army has been fighting in the Northland for many years, and most of the wives of those high-ranking generals are with the army, and they will take root in the Northland like the locals, and even pass it on like this.
She didn't think about it for too long, only one thing was clear, since Xian Qu's grandfather had set this family business for her, he must have expected her and Shao Mingyuan to raise their eyebrows and get along with each other.
Well, she's willing to give it a try.
"What are you looking at?" another person leaned out of the window.
Under the bright sun, the man was dazzlingly handsome, Qiao Zhao was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but squint slightly.
It's really a coincidence, I don't know if it's too late to put down the car curtains now?
Obviously, it was too late, Ji Can saw the person outside the window clearly, and actually made a move that everyone, including himself, did not expect.
He reached out and dragged Shao Mingyuan back, then slammed the window shut.
Miss Joe: "......" She may have appeared in the wrong way!
To his friends, Shao Mingyuan was not defensive, and let Chi Can drag his arm, the rising wine fell, and his star-like eyes returned to clarity.
He silently looked at his friend who was close at hand, and asked with a questioning eye.
Yang Houcheng asked directly: "What's wrong?"
He stood up as he spoke, walked to the window, and reached out to push the window: "What the hell?"
"Yang Er, put down your claws!" Chi Can snorted coldly, feeling a little weak after drinking.
He must have drunk too much, why was his hand so fast? What's wrong with the girl outside?
At this time, Yang Houcheng also drank a lot, and when the wine came up, how could he be threatened by his friends, curiosity instructed him to open the window with his hand and poke out most of his head.
"It's nothing, there's no one. Yang Houcheng looked around blankly, only to see a carriage quietly parked not far away.
At this time, a little girl in a green shirt ran briskly to the carriage with the wine jar in her arms, Yang Houcheng said "Huh", turned around and said excitedly: "It's Miss Li!"
Seeing that the three friends were silent, and they all stared at him silently, Yang Houcheng looked inexplicable: "What are you all looking at me for?" It's Miss Li, I'll call her up!"
After he finished speaking, he ignored the expressions of the three people, turned his head and beckoned, and was just about to open his mouth when he was pulled by someone behind him.
"Zizhe, what are you pulling me for?"
The little maid jumped into the carriage, and the carriage moved slowly.
Yang Houcheng was a little anxious: "The carriage is leaving!"
Zhu Yan's voice was quite helpless: "Chongshan, the sky is blue and white, it's not good to shout at a girl's house like this." โ
Seeing that the small blue-curtained carriage was gradually moving away, Yang Houcheng pouted dissatisfiedly and said, "What I said, the blue sky can't be called during the day, but the moon is dark and the wind is high?"
"That's not what I meantโ" Zhu Yan touched his nose.
"I already knew each other, what's wrong with saying hello?When did you guys become so pedantic?" Yang Houcheng squinted at Chi Can, "And Shixi, as for closing the window? โ
After drinking, Yang Houcheng talked a lot, and in a blink of an eye, he fell on Shao Mingyuan, who was speechless, and muttered: "We don't know Miss Li from Tingquan here, but what can't Tingquan know about our affairs?"
Ji Chan listened with a dark face.
That cabbage will be sad? Don't be kidding, just now he clearly saw that the girl with no conscience was looking at Shao Mingyuan with affection! That is, Yang Er was stupid, I didn't know that Shao Mingyuan had eaten the barbecued deer breast made by that girl.
Hmph, he won't close the window again, that girl-
Ji Can's heart tightened, and he secretly sneered.
He really drank too much, what about that girl, what does it matter to him?
"What should I know?" asked Shao Mingyuan, pinching his wine glass.
The three friends seem to be very different from that Li girl.
Ji Can was annoyed that he had just had a brain convulsion, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Zhu Yan was afraid that Yang Houcheng would say something messy, so he preemptively said: "It was the three of us who met when we visited the temple fair that dayโโ"
Catching up with Shao Mingyuan's calm and clear gaze, Zhu Yan's words suddenly couldn't continue, and he smiled apologetically: "Actually, we met when we went south, not deliberately hiding it from you, but for fear that it would be bad for Miss Li's reputation if it was spread out......
Zhu Yan told the story of the acquaintance between the three of them and Qiao Zhao.
Shao Mingyuan listened silently.
So that's the case, he said that with his understanding of the three friends, there is no special chance, how can he treat a girl's family differently.
After listening to Zhu Yan's speech, Shao Mingyuan glanced at Chi Can and thought thoughtfully.
