71. Gentleman
Do you really want to marry Yu Yichen?
Zhenshu's mind suddenly woke up, and the whole person fell into distress and couldn't extricate himself.
Because of the barking of dogs and chickens outside, Zhenshu woke up very early. She got up early to freshen up, set up a stove under the stove to boil a big pot of hot water, plucked the fat chicken that Liu Wensi brought yesterday, plucked the internal organs, cleaned it, and put the whole one in the sand nest to stew on the fire, and then began to make another stove to boil porridge for breakfast.
Mother Liu came out of the next room with the curtain, saw that Zhenshu had already prepared the kitchen, and said with her hands: "Second girl, why bother, just ask the old body to do these things." β
Zhenshu responded with a smile, filled a bowl of porridge and a few hot cakes, picked a few chopsticks and pickled vegetables from the jar, and brought them to the West House with a short-legged kang table for Zhen Yuan to put down, and then prepared another table and brought it to the outer room, knocked on the door of the outer West House and asked loudly, "Sir, are you up?" β
Mei Xun opened the door and saw Zhenshu smiling and holding a table of breakfast, although his face was expressionless, he let him into the room. Zhenshu was also polite, and put it on the kang for him and said, "Eat it while it's hot." β
Mei Xuncai took the bowl of porridge, and listened to Zhenshu: "You have to go back by yourself this morning, the car is still here, and I want to stay here to accompany my eldest sister to give birth." β
She was afraid that the two apprentices outside would hear it, so she lowered her voice and said, "You sue your father-in-law, I have to wait for the spring to pass before I can return to Beijing." β
Mei Xun lowered her voice and said, "No! β
Zhenshu also heard his unpleasant voice, and lowered his voice even more: "I really can't leave, I have to take care of my sister here, you go back and tell SΓΉ Yuyichen, he will listen." β
Mei Xun still shook his head: "No." β
Zhen Shu gritted his teeth angrily, and was afraid that others would hear their dispute, so he rushed out of the house and went to the courtyard, and saw Liu Wensi just walking in from outside the courtyard gate. She smiled and asked, "Liu Gongzi came early today?" β
Liu Wensi said: "How dare you call me a son, if you don't dislike it in the future, it's okay to call me eldest brother?" β
Zhenshu responded: "Brother Liu! β
The two entered Zhenyuan's West House together, Zhenyuan was sitting unkempt on the kang eating the bowl of porridge, and when she saw Liu Wensi coming in, she hurriedly covered her face and said, "Zhenshu, I haven't freshened up yet, how can you let him in?" β
Liu Wensi said: "What's this, you are heavy now, I'll go to the kitchen to bring hot water to clean your face, how about it?" β
After speaking, he still lifted the curtain and went out.
After a while, he brought a basin of hot water and put it on the ground, twisted the handkerchief and handed it to Zhenyuan, and saw that she had wiped her face and still wrung it in the basin to dry. When Zhenshu saw it in his eyes, how could he not be emotional.
Liu Wensi took the basin and went out to splash water, before he said loudly outside: "The eye of the wind behind this house has been open because of the cold weather, and now the charcoal basin has been removed, and it will not be sealed, I am afraid that you will catch a cold at night, I will ask the two boys to take a ladder, and I will seal the eye of the storm." β
In the countryside, the houses with charcoal basins all the year round are often kept in the high places of the houses for fear of being smoked to death, and they are opened in winter and sealed in spring. This will Liu Wensi is going to seal this eye of the storm.
Zhenyuan closed her eyes and asked Zhenshu to comb her hair, and suddenly remembered something and opened her eyes: "The person you brought to drive the car yesterday and can make a sword, is it from there?" β
Zhenshu lied: "It's just Uncle Zhao's friend." β
Zhen Yuan looked up at Zhen Shu and said, "Last night, Liu Wensi said that the person looked a little familiar, like he was a messenger in his grandfather's house. I heard that his godfather was a eunuch, how could Uncle Zhao know such a person? β
Now that others say that Yu Yichen is a eunuch, Zhenshu already has a different meaning in his heart, and he feels very harsh when he hears it. But he could only patiently explain: "Uncle Zhao and his father were both in Beijing back then, how can we know what kind of people we know, this is not your heart, sit up straight, I will comb your hair for you." β
Zhenshu combed the fluffy hair on her forehead upside down, and then combed all the hair on her head and tied it with a jade hairpin, then decorated her with a wig, and decorated the luodian and bead hairpin for her, and took the peony-colored spring shirt she brought to her yesterday and put it on the outside of her middle coat, tied a moonflower skirt to her, and then helped her get off the kang and said: "Let's go, let's go to the yard and have a look." β
Today's spring is just right, and Zhenyuan is still wearing a windy wool robe that she often wears, and then she went out of the house. The light outside was so dazzling that she could barely open her eyes. Zhenshu took out the wind wool robe for her and said, "What are you doing wearing this in such good weather?" β
Zhenyuan is already white and beautiful, and wearing this peony-colored spring shirt makes her face look like Haoyue and Chang'e. She was still a little ashamed herself, and Zhenshu asked Liu Wensi, who was riding on the beam, "Brother Liu looks good?" β
Liu Wensi nodded and smiled: "Very good-looking." β
Zhen Yuan looked at Liu Wensi with two eyes and looked at herself, afraid that he would step on the air and fall down, so she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Look at the feet, look at the feet." β
Liu Wensi had already blocked the eye of the wind, slipped down from the ladder and cleaned his hands on the water table by the kitchen, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Zhenyuan. Zhenshu's heart moved, and he was quietly sighing in his heart, when he suddenly saw Mei Xun standing on the door of the second courtyard and said, "It's time to go." β
Zhenshu didn't say anything about moving him when he got up early, he thought about persuading him for a while, but now he saw that he actually ran to the second door to urge, afraid that Zhenyuan would see a lot of heart, so he hurriedly ran out and pushed Mei Xun and said: "Sir, you can go first, I really want to take care of my sister and I can't go." β
This man's head is as dead as a mallet.
Sure enough, Liu Wensi helped Zhenyuan and walked out, Zhenyuan saw that Zhenyuan was in a hurry and didn't know what to say, so she hurriedly said: "If there is an urgent matter in Beijing, you can go back quickly, there is Brother Liu to take care of it, and I don't have anything to shortage." β
Zhenshu said: "There is nothing wrong, I went to send him back." β
Seeing this, Liu Wensi pulled Zhenshu aside and whispered: "You can just go, I have decided not to participate in the Spring Festival this year, and I want to take care of your sister here." β
Zhenshu said: "Once every three years, if you don't go, how can your parents agree?" How do you go back to Hanjiahe, and how do you deal with them? β
Liu Wensi said: "Actually, you don't know, the little ink in my stomach can't even get back from the prison exam, and it's because my father tried his best to stuff silver into my godfather's hand, so that the township test institute tried to bring me to this capital." Now that I see the spring season, I still want to thank my godfather for my godfather's credit. I am a farmer in this year, and I know a few big characters, and I dare to be good at writing and ink, because I have already made it clear to my grandfather yesterday that he will not take the test, and he has also agreed. Last time, I didn't dare to take one more step in Hanjiahe, so your sister fell into such a situation, if I still can't help her in her situation, then my lovesickness is really ridiculous. β
Zhenshu asked him to say something respectful and admiring, and only after a while did he clasp his fists and say: "Brother Liu is a true gentleman." Then my sister will entrust it to you. β
Liu Wensi glanced at Mei Xun behind him and said: "I didn't take a closer look yesterday, but I only heard it when he exited today, he is a very capable person under my godfather, how can he drive for you?" β
Zhenshu said secretly: Now everyone in the capital has to know.
But he still covered it up in his mouth: "It's my Uncle Zhao's friend, because he has something to entrust him to send me." β
Liu Wensi nodded when he heard this, but still pushed: "Let's go." If I can't take care of the eldest girl here, you can come to Xingshi next time to ask for sin. β
Zhen Yuan also walked over and said, "Since there is something in the capital, you should leave quickly, otherwise you will have to ask me to hang if you stay here." β
Zhenshu had no choice but to respond, and went back to the kitchen to explain how to make soup and how to clean the mutton so that it would not be fishy, and how to preserve the remaining mutton, so he took care of himself and combed his hair, and left Zhenyuan and Liu Wensi to go to the market from Liujiazhuang.
Yu Yichen reined in the whip and waited outside Liujiazhuang Village. Seeing Mei Xun coming by car from afar, he frowned and asked, "Why is it so long?" β
It's already noon.
Mei Xun didn't dare to say more, so he stopped the car, and Zhenshu jumped out of the car, and pouted angrily and complained: "I want to take care of my sister in Zhuangzi, this person under you is very unreasonable, and you have to detain me." β
Sun Yuan had already brought a horse. Yu Yichen saw that Zhenshu still had a temper, jumped down and hugged her on the horse, and he also rode the one that Sun Yuan patted, handed the whip to Zhenshu and said, "He is just acting on orders." β
Zhenshu glanced over and said, "So you told him yesterday to detain me no matter what?" β
"Yes." Yu Yichen smiled: "I'm afraid that you won't come back if you go." β
Her angry look is still lovely, with watery almond eyes, delicate lips, and a light posture. Yu Yichen stared at Zhenshu with a smile, and said softly: "I got up early and waited here for the fifth watch, I'm afraid that you won't come out." β
So, in fact, before she served breakfast, he had already sent someone to urge her to ask Mei Xun to take her up many times.
He tapped the horse that Zhenshu was riding, and the horse ran away with four hooves and a long howl. He rode his horse under the gaze of the crowd behind him, and when both horses had run away, he stood up and put one foot loose from his pedal to the other side, and when the two horses were very close, he leaped and rode onto the horse of Zhenshu.
Zhenshu frightened him, and before he could open his mouth when he turned around, his lips covered him, and he kissed her like he wanted to crush her, until they were both blushing and out of breath, and then he wrapped his arms around her waist and laughed.
Zhenshu muttered, "You're such a madman. β
She loosened the reins and turned sideways to find his lips, letting the tears in her eyes blow away from the wind, and murmured, "It just so happens that I am." β
He reined in his horse and went to the bazaar, galloped through the deserted street to the door of the inn before dismounting, and before he could get off the horse, he picked her up, kicked the door of the inn a few steps and ran in and up the stairs, still kicked open the door of the guest room, and kept the book still on the bed, and pressed himself up and kissed her.
Zhenshu made him breathless from kissing, felt his cold fingers pulling his belt all the way, and hurriedly grabbed his hand and said, "What are you going to do in broad daylight?" β
