Sixty-seven

For the arrival of Xiao Hongdou, the Meng family was very welcome, and even a serious person like Xue Dad couldn't help but stretch out his finger and touch Xiao Hongdou's head one day, and then, Xiao Hongdou gave him a paw mercilessly.

Of course, the little red bean is still small, and even the nails are transparent, so it has no lethality at all. But the second aunt still taught Ah Chu a lesson because of this, saying that he didn't keep his promise to discipline his cat. Ah Chu hugged the little red bean and came to Xu You to talk to him aggrievedly, "It's still young and ignorant, I have to teach it slowly." But you have to take your time, don't you? Sister, you see, the little red bean never scratches you. As he spoke, he took the initiative to put the little red bean on Xu You's body.

Xu You had a little headache, but she didn't push it away, and the little milk cat meowed and lay in her arms, and when she saw Xu You ignoring it, it rubbed its head into her arms again. Xu You was out of options, and finally stretched out his hand and rubbed it on the little guy's eyebrows, and the little milk cat half-narrowed his eyes with a comfortable and satisfied look.

Was she stupid in front of Zhao Chengjin before? What a shame!

As a native cat, Xiao Hongdou is already very smart, but cats always have special habits of cats, for example, they hate water. In order to bathe it, even Ah Chu was scratched a few paws by the little red bean, fortunately it didn't have much strength and its nails were not sharp, so there was no blood, but the second aunt was still very unhappy and taught Ah Chu a lesson again.

Ah Chu was very sad, and hugged the little red bean to find Zhao Cheng to learn from him.

"How did Brother Xiaoshun give ...... before? Cat bathing? Doesn't it tickle? ”

Zhao Cheng smiled slightly, "Cats are all scratchy, you have to teach it to recognize its owner." My snow never scratches its own people, it only does bad things. ”

"Is it afraid of water?"

"Why, Xuetuan loves to take a bath, and he can swim." Zhao Cheng will involuntarily become gentle when he talks about these old things, and all the fierceness hidden in his eyebrows on weekdays will disappear, and he looks like a gentle little brother in the neighbor's house, no, little brother. This look made Hu Pengcheng a little unacceptable, and he asked in a daze: "Who is Xuetuan?" ”

Ah Chu was stunned, and his intuition was a little wrong. Zhao Chengjin's eyes darkened, but his face was not bad, he smiled reluctantly, and explained in a low voice: "It's the cat I used to have." ”

Hu Pengcheng became more and more surprised, and said in surprise: "Isn't your cat's name called Wosi Candy?" ”

Zhao Chengjin's gaze became sharp in an instant, Hu Pengcheng was swept away by his eyes, and he was speechless for a moment. Ah Chu saw that something was wrong, so he rushed out with the little red bean in his arms, and disappeared outside the door with a snort. Hu Pengcheng was too late, he was locked by his gaze, hurriedly surrendered, and took the initiative to confess: "Yes...... It was Ah Chu who told me. ”

"He mentioned Woss Candy?" There was a strange light in Zhao Chengjin's eyes, Hu Pengcheng couldn't see what it was, he originally thought that this was Zhao Chengjin's life, and he could take this opportunity to make him cry, but he didn't expect that not only did he not cry, but his eyes were shining. Hu Pengcheng's heart suddenly became empty, and he nodded honestly, "It was Ah Chu who said that Wosi Candy is your cat's name." He originally wanted to give Xiao Hongdou this name, but Xiaoxue didn't let him. ”

Zhao Chengjin didn't speak again, he stood in place in a daze, his expression was indescribably weird, Hu Pengcheng cautiously leaned over and looked at him a few times, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Shun, you have nothing to do." ”

Zhao Cheng glanced at him blankly, and then continued to shake his head blankly, "I have nothing to do," he said. However, his expression was so strange, and there was an inexplicable entanglement in his eyes, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed like something was wrong.

Hu Pengcheng decided to go to Xu You, although the girl was young, but I don't know what Lu Dao is for, but it makes people feel reliable.

"Don't tell Xiaoxue about today." Zhao Chengjin suddenly spoke, his voice was a little stiff, and even had a condescending taste, "You go and talk to Ah Chu too, you are not allowed to tell Xiaoxue, do you hear?" ”

If Zhao Chengjin used this commanding tone to talk to him in his usual tone, Hu Pengcheng must have jumped up in anger to quarrel with him, but he couldn't give birth to the slightest idea of quarreling today, Zhao Chengjin's expression was too serious, too serious, and so solemn, which made Hu Pengcheng have an illusion, as if he had done something big and great wrong - he obviously just accidentally said more.

Hu Pengcheng quickly ran to Ah Chu's room and blocked people, Ah Chu was holding his head and muttering to himself in regret, Hu Pengcheng told him what Zhao Cheng had confessed, Ah Chu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered: "Don't say the best, don't say the best." If Sister Xiaoxue knew that I told you about this, she would have to scold me for being bloody. ”

"However, Brother Shun is a little ......" Hu Pengcheng couldn't say what it was, he felt a little strange, thought about it, and asked Ah Chu with a curious face, "What was the cat that Brother Shun had before, tell me?" ”

Ah Chu immediately told him about the deeds of the "god cat", but this time he still sensibly skipped Zhao Chengjin's identity, and Hu Pengcheng didn't pay attention.

“…… Brother Xiaoshun's family raised a god cat, and Grandma said that the cat must have changed from a human, otherwise, how could it be so smart. But the little red bean is also very well-behaved, it's still small, and it must be smart when it grows up. ”

Hu Pengcheng touched his chin, "Divine cat? ”

Xu Yu didn't know anything about these things, and she didn't see Zhao Cheng mention the cat for two days in a row, so she gradually forgot about it.

In June, the weather was suddenly very hot, there was no rain for more than ten days in a row, several rivers in the city had dried up, even many wells were dry, and the city was barely passable.

The school was also temporarily suspended, and Xu You helped with some housework at home. Most of the wells in the alley are also dry, but fortunately, the wells in the courtyard of the Meng family are barely usable, and every day from morning to night, neighbors come with buckets to fetch water, and the yard is also lively.

As soon as there were many people coming and going, there were always people looking for Mrs. Meng to talk, and as they talked, the topic turned to a few children, and the most eye-catching of them was Zhao Chengjin. He is simply a typical child of someone else's family, with good appearance, good temperament, and obedient and sensible, people can't take their eyes off it when they stop there, and they don't look like people in a small place like Yunzhou.

However, no one paid attention to him, in the words of the second aunt, regardless of identity, in terms of appearance and knowledge, there is no little girl in the entire Yunzhou who can be worthy of him, and the daughters of the Hu County Ling family are not successful.

Perhaps in order to echo the second aunt's words, this morning, when Xu You and Zhao Chengjin went to the street to buy vegetables, they met the two young ladies of the Hu family.

Regarding the girls of the Hu family, Xu You occasionally heard Hu Pengcheng mention that because Mrs. County Ling had no heirs for two years after entering the door, the old lady of the Hu family forced Lord Hu to take two concubines, and these daughters of the Hu County Ling family were all from those two concubines. Mrs. County Ling really has no upbringing for her daughters, and Hu Pengcheng has no feelings for these sisters, and when she mentions it occasionally, she can't help frowning.

"Brother Shun, Xiaoxue!" Hu Pengcheng greeted them from afar, and rushed over like a tornado, with a happy face, "It's great to have met the two of you." What about Ah Chu, he didn't follow you? "Since the school was suspended, Hu Pengcheng has returned home, and speaking of which, I haven't seen him for several days.

"Ah Chu is at home, let's go out to buy vegetables, what about you?" Xu You greeted him with a smile, and Zhao Cheng nodded at him with a vegetable basket.

"I accompanied my mother and them out, saying that they were going out of the city to burn incense and ask for rain, but they only walked for a while and suddenly stopped and went to the silk village...... Why don't I go to your house. Hu Pengcheng hated accompanying women shopping, and finally saw Xu Yu and them, and he grabbed on to it as if he had encountered a life-saving straw.

The county commander's wife, Dong, had already heard of the Meng family brothers and sisters, and glanced at the two of them from afar, and caught a glimpse of Zhao Chengjin, who was standing as straight as a green pine, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned. In just a few seconds, Hu Pengcheng had already pulled Xu Yu and the others over to greet Mrs. County Ling, and introduced with a smile: "Mother, this is Brother Shun and the younger sister of the Meng family mentioned before. ”

Xu You and Zhao Chengjin hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Mrs. County Ling looked at the two of them with a pleasant face, of course, mainly looking at Zhao Chengjin, "This is Brother Shun, he is really a talent." Her eyes were shining when she spoke, and the smile was about to overflow from her eyes, and looking at Zhao Chengjin's eyes was like looking at her own son-in-law.

The eldest lady of the Hu family looks two years older than Zhao Chengjin, thirteen or fourteen-year-old junior high school students, she is not outstanding, and her eyebrows are not as delicate as Hu Pengcheng, but because she is a young lady of the official family, she is dressed quite brightly, with a goose yellow short skirt and willow green long skirt, and a pair of royal blue embroidered shoes under her feet.

As for the second lady, she is in her early tens, and her appearance is more delicate than that of the eldest lady, she is young and small, two centimeters shorter than Xu You, and she looks like a primary school student.

As soon as the two little girls saw Zhao Chengjin, their eyes suddenly lit up, and their eyes fell on Zhao Chengjin's face without even moving, □□ naked, Xu You could feel the crackling sparks when he stood aside. She thought it was fun, and she had long known that Zhao Chengjin was like a glowing Christmas tree, but she didn't expect it to be so lethal, it was simply a killing for all ages.

After Zhao Cheng replied a few words, the expression on the face of the county magistrate gradually became solemn. She is also from a family, although the family has declined now, but she has also seen the world, and when she sees Zhao Chengjin's way of speaking and acting, you can see that this child is by no means raised by ordinary people. The thought of recruiting him as a son-in-law was immediately gone, and his face showed a solemn gesture.

After the greetings, Hu Pengcheng couldn't stay after all, and was pulled into the carriage by the county lady's ears, and the two young ladies of the Hu family reluctantly glanced at Zhao Chengjin a few times, and finally left.

As soon as they left, Xu You couldn't help poking Zhao Chengjin's arm and said with a smile: "Those two little girls seem to have taken a fancy to you, which one do you think is good-looking?" ”

Zhao Chengjin didn't speak, his pretty little face was tense, and he looked very unhappy. After a while, he suddenly spoke: "How do you know that the Ludao Snow Ball also has a name called Wosi Candy?" ”

What the? Xu You's head thundered, and he was immediately stupid.

The topic is turning so fast! Just now he was talking about his peach blossoms blooming, why did he suddenly jump on the cat? Zhao Cheng is here, why would he know about this matter?

"Huh?" Zhao Chengjin raised his voice again, the tail note dragged on for a long time, and he turned his head to look at her, his dark eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, as if he could see people's hearts.

Xu You licked his lips, avoided his eyes in a little panic, and replied hesitantly: "I...... I...... Oh, I've heard people call it that. She said, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, remembering that she followed King Qi to drink, so she hurriedly replied: "I have seen snow balls in the alley before, but His Royal Highness King Qi called it Wosi Candy, so I ...... it."

"Have you seen my seventh uncle?" Zhao Chengjin looked at her and smiled slightly, "Do you know him?" ”

"He once took his cat to a restaurant in the alley to drink, and he met him at the door." She secretly looked at Zhao Chengjin's expression, and saw that his smile was unfathomable, and her heart became more and more uneasy, thought about it, and said, "If you don't believe it, ask my father, my father has also seen it." ”

Zhao Chengjin's face was slightly strange, and he raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't believe it, "Uncle has also seen it?" Which street and alley in the capital? ”

Where would she know! How could His Royal Highness King Qi tell a cat the name of the place, and besides, that small restaurant has no name at all.

As soon as Xu You's face changed, Zhao Chengjin laughed.

"I forgot, I was young." Xu You quibbled: "Anyway, if you don't believe it, go ask my father." ”

When it was time to eat in the evening, Xu You simply asked himself, and said to Xue Dad: "Daddy, what is the name of the alley where we lived in the capital before?" Do you remember one time when I saw a white cat at my doorstep, snow-white...... Hmm, fat cat. ”

Xue Daddy frowned and thought for a while, "You mean Loofah Alley?" ”

"Yes, yes, and the cat, don't you remember?" Xu You looked at him with wide eyes, and tried to guide him: "There is a beautiful boy holding it. ”

Snow Daddy let out a long "oh-" and nodded and smiled: "Yes, there is such a cat." Why did you suddenly remember that this cat was coming? ”

Xu Yu let out a long breath and raised his eyebrows proudly at Zhao Cheng, "You heard it." ”

Zhao Cheng smiled slightly, and replied slowly: "I don't remember the place where I have lived for so long, but I remember the name of a cat, and I know that it is His Royal Highness King Qi, and it is really you." ”

Xu Yougan laughed twice, "Who let that ...... His Royal Highness King Qi was born handsome...... "The more she explains, the more she feels that she has been a little rascal since she was a child......

Why is this little imp so difficult!

The author has something to say: How can you be so naïve to think that I will let Brother Shun grab the handle and look up to the sky and howl~~~

After reading everyone's comments, everyone is very worried about the affairs of the palace, touch. The tone of this article is not abusive, the palace is a little complicated, but it's not that complicated. King Rui and the princess are fine, and they also love Brother Shun, but they haven't come to look for anything, because they thought he was dead......

My question now is: whether to take the opportunity of this drought to send Brother Shun back to the capital alone and meet again in a few years, or whether to continue to leave him in Yunzhou and finalize the two of them before going back.

Tangled, tangled~~~~
