Chapter Eighty-Five: Sleep Together
Qi Ping laughed when he heard this, and said angrily: "Isn't this that the county master cares about you, you don't go to cook, the county master is still worried that he won't be able to eat good food at noon, plus Brother Changting is weak, and the county master is also worried that something will go wrong on his way." ”
"Thank you, sir, for your kindness. ”
Shen Changting sighed and said apologetically: "It's just that something like this happened, I'm really ashamed." ”
"It's okay, isn't this all over, if you tell me something in the future, I don't think anyone else is interested. Qi Ping sneered, this time it's really cheap for them, if it weren't for the identity of the other party as Zhao Qingzao's uncle, it would definitely not be like this.
"Forget it, don't talk about the past. Shen Changting smiled and didn't care.
There are outsiders, Zhao Qingzao is naturally embarrassed as usual, and can only try to remain silent, but although she rarely speaks, Qi Ping did not let her go, but smiled very naturally: "By the way, Brother Changting, hurry up and let your daughter-in-law go to cook, I rushed over this morning, and the brothers are hungry." ”
"I think you're greedy. Zhao Qingzao teased, but he also stood up as he spoke, and said, "Then you talk, I'll cook, it just so happens that we haven't eaten, and even lunch will be served together." ”
"Okay, hehe. Qi Ping admitted very generously, without the slightest embarrassment.
Seeing this, Shen Changting smiled and nodded, obviously they had a very good relationship with Shen Changting these days.
However, when Zhao Qingzao came to the kitchen and was busy washing vegetables, he found that Shen Changting had also come to the kitchen, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Brother Changting, why are you here too, why don't you accompany Qi Ping and them to talk well." ”
Shen Changting touched his nose and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that you can't be busy alone, come over and help by the way, see if there is anything you can do, you say, I'll fix it." ”
"No need, you go talk to them, and besides, the gentleman is far away from cooking, I'll just come to this kind of thing. Zhao Qingzao smiled, and as he spoke, he was busy pushing Shen Changting out.
She can clearly remember that Shen Changting is a kitchen killer, and at this time, she must not be allowed to get into the kitchen, otherwise she may have to start a fire again later.
"Is there really anything you want me to help with?" Shen Changting frowned slightly, and a hint of gloom flashed across his face.
"No, I'm not busy alone on weekdays, I'm busy, don't worry. Zhao Qingzao said indifferently, this kind of trivial matter is not tiring at all, she naturally didn't feel anything bad.
However, she was still careful and noticed the gloom and unhappiness in Shen Changting's eyes, and couldn't help but whisper: "Brother Changting, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just feel useless. Shen Changting couldn't hide his thoughts after all, and sighed again as he spoke.
"How can you say that. Zhao Qingzao's face was a little unhappy.
"You see just now, those people in the Wang family were so noisy, but I could only watch from the sidelines, let you be bullied, this is really difficult for you, it is Chu Xingshan, he still knows how to make a move, but I can't help, I have wronged you. Shen Changting's brows furrowed into Sichuan characters, and there was no one around, but he still said what was in his heart after all.
Zhao Qingzao raised his eyebrows and said: "Brother Changting, don't think so, the ruler is long, the inch is short, can I blame you for this, although Brother Chu is capable, he can't compare to you in terms of literacy, not to mention that the emperor still needs his courtiers to come up with ideas, and fighting a war requires soldiers to fight, and he can only watch, according to what you say, the emperor must not die." ”
"But it's different......"
Shen Changting still wanted to argue, but before he finished speaking, he was gagged by Zhao Qingzao, and said: "What's the difference, it's all the same, children don't have the strength of adults, adults don't know as much as the elderly, they all have the same truth, why should you be arrogant, who are you worthy of, you don't think much about this, I'll go cook, you go talk to them." ”
"Good. ”
Shen Changting nodded, as if the knot in his heart had been untied a lot, and his steps were a little brisker.
Seeing this, the corners of Zhao Qingzao's mouth turned up slightly, but she didn't say anything, she didn't like ink, and she didn't like men who were not generous, and she was worried about some trivial things, so she naturally put her mind into the kitchen.
But in half an hour, Zhao Qingzao had already copied a few side dishes, accompanied the pig into the water and some salted ducks, meat and vegetables, unfortunately the meat did not have time to buy, and there was no fish, so I could only settle.
But Rao is like this, when she brought a few dishes to the table, the eyes of several officials suddenly lit up, it was Chu Xingshan, and he was also happy.
Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao took some wine, and then called Grandma Niu over, and let them drink together.
Shen Changting is not in good health, and he hardly drinks alcohol on weekdays, but today he was bumped into by a few officials, and as the host, he couldn't resist the persuasion of a few people, so he finally drank it.
Zhao Qingzao took advantage of the cooking to see that Shen Changting was also drinking, and he didn't stop it, but just persuaded him to be careful and drink less, so he didn't say much.
In any case, it was rare to be happy today, and she didn't mean to spoil the fun.
When Zhao Qingzao finished cooking the dishes, several people in the hall were almost drunk, including Qi Ping, several officials were also drunk, their bodies were swaying, but Shen Changting was even more unbearable, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and his tongue was big.
Only Chu Xingshan, who drank a lot of alcohol, drank so much, and didn't faint, she still looked radiant and sober, which made her a little speechless, she really didn't understand who Chu Xingshan had inherited, and he had such a good physique.
Seeing everyone's appearance, Zhao Qingzao was also a little crying and laughing, and while filling the rest of the people with food, he persuaded: "Brother Changting, why are you drunk." ”
"No, it's okay......" Shen Changting shook his head, trying to sit up straight, but he still wiggled, looking like he was hitting a bell.
"Okay, big brothers, you eat first, Brother Changting can't eat, I'll help him to rest first, you too, why persuade him to drink so much." ”
Zhao Qingzao was a little speechless, and as he spoke, he pulled up Shen Changting and said, "Brother Changting, I'll help you go and rest." ”
"It's okay, you can eat, I can go by myself." ”
Shen Changting was not really confused, he stubbornly pushed away Zhao Qingzao's hand, got up staggeringly, and staggered back to the room.
After everyone had eaten, Zhao Qingzao also wrapped his stomach indiscriminately, and Qi Ping and the others also got up to say goodbye, after all, they had been delayed for most of the day, and if they didn't go back, noon had passed, and the county order would inevitably punish them.
Zhao Qingzao also knew the severity, but seeing a few people walking, they were a little unstable, and they were also a little uneasy, so he hesitated: "I think you should rest for a while, drink tea for a while, and then leave when the wine wakes up. ”
"Why, this little wine is nothing!"
Qi Ping opened his mouth with a wide tongue and a red face, looking arrogant.
Zhao Qingzao was speechless, people who had drunk wine were like this, it was useless to persuade her, and she immediately said to Chu Xingshan, "Brother Chu, you can help me send these big brothers later." ”
"Good, little things. Chu Xingshan patted his chest and promised.
Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao knew that these people couldn't keep it for the time being, so he hurriedly returned to the kitchen, took a basket, put a few dishes into the basket, carried them to Qi Ping, and said: "Brother Qi, this is an extra dish that I made just now, you can take it back to Master Qi, if it's cold, just warm it up, I can't go to work today, I can only pay attention to it." ”
"Okay, it's still thoughtful. Qi Ping listened, and looked at Zhao Qingzao's carefulness in his heart.
After a while, Qi Ping set off to return, escorted by Chu Xingshan, Zhao Qingzao just admonished, and didn't say much, and Grandma Niu saw this, watching Zhao Qingzao busy cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, she was also distressed, and simply helped out.
Zhao Qingzao saw that Grandma Niu was still helping him do this little thing, and couldn't help but persuade: "Grandma, I'll do these by myself, you can go home and rest." ”
"What a rest, I've been idle all day. Grandma Niu glanced at Zhao Qingzao and said, "By the way, I forgot to ask you, are you busy with the rest of the preserved eggs yesterday?"
"Well, I cleaned up after dinner last night, I don't have to be busy today, I'll be busy in two days. ”
"Oh, then I'm going to have a free day. ”
"I'm busy in the future. ”
……
Not long after, the house was cleaned up, and Grandma Niu also went back, and Zhao Qingzao, who was idle, was worried that Shen Changting's health was different, so he specially made a cup of honey tea and went to find Shen Changting.
I don't know if she was drunk and confused, or what, Zhao Qingzao didn't see Shen Changting in the room where Shen Changting stayed, this guy actually ran to her room, and she was a little speechless for a while.
But this room is yours, and this room is not mine.
Zhao Qingzao sighed in his heart, with a faint worry in his eyes, looked at Shen Changting who was lying on the bed, and finally walked in with his feet raised.
Shen Changting was already drunk and asleep at this time, and there was a faint snoring sound, seeing this, Zhao Qingzao didn't dare to disturb, put the teacup on the cabinet next to the bed, leaned forward and pushed the other party, "Brother Changting, Brother Changting, are you asleep?"
Zhao Qingzao had been drunk before, and he knew what it was like, in addition to being thirsty, it was a headache, not to mention that Shen Changting's current body couldn't withstand the bombardment of alcohol at all.
However, Shen Changting did not wake up, nor did he react otherwise, seeing this, Zhao Qingzao did not plan to continue to disturb, turned around and prepared to leave.
It's just that she hadn't taken two steps before Shen Changting suddenly let out a sigh, opened his eyes, and grabbed Zhao Qingzao, who was about to leave, with one hand.
"Hmm!"
Zhao Qingzao didn't stand firm for a while, his body was crooked, and he suddenly fell on Shen Changting.
Shen Changting was completely sober now, rubbed his forehead and was about to get up, Zhao Qingzao saw this, and hurriedly persuaded: "Don't get up, lie down first, I'll bring you tea, are you thirsty, drink some." ”
"Good. ”
Shen Changting leaned on the head of the bed, nodded silently, and asked, "Are they all gone?"
"Well, Qi Ping has to go back on an errand, he has already left, I'm afraid that they will have an accident if they drink too much, so let Brother Chu accompany him. Zhao Qingzao said, handing the teacup to Shen Changting.
After taking a few sips of tea, Shen Changting's face looked much better, and he pulled Zhao Qingzao, half-asleep and half-awake, and muttered: "Qingzao, I've wronged you these days, don't you like me?"
Zhao Qingzao was stunned for a moment, looked at Shen Changting's delicate face, shook his head and said, "No, Brother Changting, what do you say, if I don't like to leave early, you can't stop me if I want to." ”
Thinking about it, although Zhao Qingzao didn't think too much about emotional matters, for now, a man like Shen Changting is really the most suitable for her, but the most important thing is that the other party can tolerate her, and let her go crazy, if she changes to anyone else, she will definitely not be able to do this.
In this world, if there is a conflict between husband and wife, the fault is definitely the woman, and the man will not be blamed, the man is distracted, everyone will say that the woman in the family does not know how to look at the man, and the man is cowardly, so he blames the woman for being too strong, and the man is not doing his job, so it is said that the woman is not good at it, and even if the man dies, he blames the woman for being hard, in such an environment, if he can meet Shen Changting, Zhao Qingzao has nothing else to ask for.
"Do you really think so?" Shen Changting said slowly, like a dream.
"Yes, but you can think more about it in the future, and don't dislike me. ”
"Well, absolutely not!"
"That's good. ”
Zhao Qingzao comforted him repeatedly, without heartfelt meaty words, but he also put his identity very low.
In Zhao Qingzao's soft words, Shen Changting fell asleep again unconsciously, but he still pulled Zhao Qingzao and did not let go, Zhao Qingzao saw this, and his heart was helpless.
"Tonight, it seems, can only make do with it. ”
