Chapter 211: The Frivolous Prodigal Son
Zhou Hong strode into the backyard with the servant, with a resentful and annoyed look. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
In the past half a month, Zhou Hong has been to Jiang's house countless times, looking for various reasons to see Jiang Li. But she went no less than ten times, and it was Jiang Ju who came out who was not in charge, and he obviously inquired that Jiang Li did not go out, but she was stunned and did not even come out to show her face once.
Thinking of this, Zhou Hong couldn't help but be annoyed. He led the servant through the long passage between the bookshelves and pushed open the small door. There is a corridor outside the small door, connected to a small courtyard behind.
Walking all the way to the backyard, Zhou Hong hummed to himself all the way: "This son has avoided visiting her again and again, what kind of person does she think she is!" Even if she entertains me in vain, it's okay, no matter what, our two families still have some friendship. When I meet her, I'll have to ask her why she is so avoided! β
Ah Cai, the servant who followed Zhou Hong, was not like Ah Fu who persuaded his master in everything, Ah Cai listened to his master's words and followed to help.
"Over the years, how can my son be so polite to anyone, and to be so polite to her is to promote her, why is she so ignorant of lifting!" Servant.
Zhou Hong pursed the corners of his lips and said with a sneer: "If she knows each other today, it will be fine, if not, this son will be unkind to her." β
Ah Cai followed behind Zhou Hong with a thief smile on his face, waiting to see a good show.
The two turned a screen and walked to the backyard. Through a curtain of drooping pothos, Zhou Hong saw the scene in the courtyard clearly.
There are also some flowers and plants in the courtyard, a few tables and chairs, and piles of calligraphy and paintings are spread out on the tables and chairs. A handsome girl was making a bitter face in front of a large pile of calligraphy and paintings, and Jiang Li was looking at what he was holding in his hand very attentively.
Zhou Hong covered most of his body with the help of pothos vines, and a pair of peach-colored eyes looked through the cracks in the curtains, carefully looking at Jiang Li, who was focused in the courtyard.
I saw her frowning slightly, her apricot eyes staring at the calligraphy and paintings on the table, her eyes moved from time to time, looking forward to the brilliance, a pair of plain hands were slender like freshly peeled spring bamboo shoots, graceful posture, beautiful posture'γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» Zhou Hongzheng couldn't take his eyes off it, the servant pulled his sleeve behind him, and he waved his hand impatiently.
The servant only had to remind him: "Childe, someone is coming." β
"This son, you areβ" The shopkeeper of the bookstore, who had moved prints from upstairs to the courtyard with his buddies, looked at the two men who had broken into the backyard suspiciously.
Zhou Hong turned his head, raised his chin slightly, and raised his head and cocked domineeringly.
The shopkeeper looked at him for a moment, and then recognized him, "It turned out to be Zhou Gongzi!" The shopkeeper hugged a stack of prints and said with a smile: "Zhou Gongzi is a rare guest, what books do you want?" I'll ask the guys outside to pick it up for you!" β
"Why go outside? I think it's pretty good in this courtyard. Are you driving me out openly? Zhou Hong squinted at the shopkeeper from the corner of his eyes, shook his legs, knocked on the engraving in the shopkeeper's hand with a fan in his hand and asked, "What are these things you are holding in your hand?" β
It's a straw bale, I don't understand anything. The shopkeeper smiled secretly in his heart, but replied with a very respectful face: "This is a print, the girl in the courtyard asked for it." β
"Uh-huh." Zhou Hong cleared his throat and said, "It just so happens that I also want to buy prints, let's go, I'll take a look with you." Without waiting for the shopkeeper to answer, he walked straight to Jiang Li in the courtyard.
"Ehβwhy don't we go somewhere else?" The shopkeeper secretly complained in his heart, that is, he was afraid that the big business he had just received would be disturbed by Zhou Hong, and he was afraid that he would make something bad in his bookstore, so he couldn't stop him, so he had to follow quickly.
Jiang Li looked up and saw that the shopkeeper and his men had brought the prints again, followed by two strangers. Jiang Li didn't look at it much, thinking that the shopkeeper had brought in the guests again, although he was a little surprised, he didn't care.
She only stared at the prints in the shopkeeper's hand and asked, "Have you got it now?" β
"And whatever!" The shopkeeper gave Jiang Li a look, "Why don't you pick it, I'll send you the rest to the house?" β
"There are many versions of your prints, and the quality is uneven, anyway, you have almost selected them, so just take out the rest of your prints." Jiang Li frowned slightly.
"Why don't you hurry up and get it!" Zhou Hong pushed the shopkeeper aside, took two steps forward and smiled and gave Jiang Li a salute, "Miss Jiang, such a coincidence!" You're going to buy prints too, huh? β
Jiang Liwei was in a trance: The man in front of him was in his twenties, with golden hairpins on his head, a green silk scholar's robe, a folding fan in his hand, and a decent face, but his expression was full of floating waves, and a pair of peach blossom eyes were full of evil light.
That extremely uncomfortable look made Jiang Li remember who this person was. But seeing that he was polite and polite, Jiang Li also bowed his head slightly, and greeted lightly: "Gongzi Zhou." β
Zhou Hong saw that she was polite to herself, and felt that even her bones were a little crispy. At this time, I forgot what I had just said to Jiang Li that I was not polite, but I smiled cautiously: "It just so happens that I also choose prints, but I don't understand, so I asked Miss Jiang to help me choose." β
Jiang Li raised his eyebrows lightly: "I don't know what you bought it for?" β
"Uh-" Zhou Hong was choked. Not to mention prints, he can't even read a simple scripture, how does he know what is the use of buying prints. He glared back at the servant, who spread his hands and shook his head.
Seeing that the two of them looked embarrassed, Xiao Xiang on the side smiled.
Zhou Hong was not embarrassed when he noticed the girl's ridicule of him, and said with a shy face: "Prints, buy them and hang them at home." β
Jiang Li also smiled at this time. I also know in my heart that the person in front of me doesn't understand anything, but he really has nothing to do. So he casually pointed to a large number of prints around him and said: "Since the picture is good-looking, just take one everywhere over there, what else to choose." β
Zhou Hong sneered: "What Miss Jiang said is also true. He just had nothing to say, but when he saw Jiang Li smile, his bones became lighter, and he couldn't help but walk over to Jiang Li's side, and said, "I'll see what you choose." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to the engraving in front of Jiang Li.
The painting in front of him was selected by Jiang Li, and when he saw him, he just looked at it, and he even had to reach out to take it, and he was slightly annoyed. Seeing him coming, he took two steps back, pulled the side of the engraving with one hand and said, "This one I want to take away, you just look at it, don't do it." β
How can Zhou Hong have the heart to look at the painting, the beauty is on the side, which has made him feel ape. The outstretched hand listened to Jiang Li's words and stopped above the painting, and when his eyes fell on the hand that was as bright as jade and soft as a boneless, he couldn't help but reach over and grab the hand.
"You-" Jiang Li broke out of his hand, his face changed with anger, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.
Zhou Hong was afraid of the threat in her eyes, grinned, and said in a strange manner: "I have been to your house several times and have never seen Miss Jiang, thinking that Miss Jiang must be very busy." Luckily, I came back from the city today, and I followed me all the way here. Miss Jiang's beauty is incomparable, which makes me extremely thirsty, so I can't help myself for a while, and I hope that Miss Jiang will not be blamed. β
Jiang Li regained his composure, but his face was still cold. Looking at Xiao Xiang who stood silently and shook his head, Jiang Li lowered his head and began to clean up the prints on the table, while saying casually: "Zhou Hong, if you think I am a good bully, you are wrong." I don't think it happened today, and I don't want to have anything to do with you in the future. You go, if there is a next time, I will definitely not look at Uncle Yan's face. β
