On the vermilion gate of the Shen family, which is full of ancient charm, there are two large red lanterns hanging in full bloom, and the majestic lions on both sides of the white jade steps in front of the door are also tied with two red embroidered cloths, which looks like a festive scene. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After all, this celebration banquet is very important to the Shen family, not only will the heads and representatives of various families in Cuihu District come, but even the government may send people over, so in this kind of matter involving decency and family honor, Shen Qian, who is responsible for organizing the banquet, is naturally sloppy.

"Cousin Moyu, is this my Abba's home?" After entering the Shen Mansion, Alai asked questions like a curious baby, and her clear and bright eyes looked back and forth at the new things in her eyes.

"Yes, the fourth uncle was born here." Shen Moyu smiled, Alai's simple performance made her feel good unconsciously, and the slightest thought of cheating in her heart was suddenly dispelled.

The three of them came all the way to the backyard, but there was no Shen Cheng in the courtyard room, and Shen Moyu's face couldn't help but show a look of doubt when he saw this.

"Could it be that Uncle Shen will meet the distinguished guests in the living room?" Huo Zhen thought for a while and said, there are a lot of vehicles outside the Shen family, and there are undoubtedly many guests who come to visit, and it is normal for Shen Cheng, as the protagonist of this banquet, to stay in the living room often.

Shen Moyu shook his head, "No, my grandfather has always been in charge of receiving guests, and the fourth uncle doesn't like these worldly politenesses, so he usually doesn't leave the backyard." After a pause, she turned around and said, "That's it, Huo Zhen, you accompany Alai to rest in the backyard first, and I'll ask grandpa to see if he knows where the fourth uncle went!" ”

"Okay, then you can go." Huo Zhen nodded.

After Shen Moyu left, Huo Zhen walked to the thermos, poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Alai, "Come, drink a glass of water to slow down." ”

"Well, thank you, good brother." Alai was indeed a little thirsty, and the traffickers had tried all sorts of means to get them to submit, one of which was not to give them water.

"Hehe, just call me Huo Zhen in the future." Huo Zhen smiled and said, "Alai, why did you remember that you came to Jianghai City to find your father, why didn't your mother come?" ”

Alai's mother, as a Gu person, would definitely sense when the bloodthirsty Gu worms in Shen Cheng's body were completely removed, Huo Zhen originally thought that Alai's mother would come in person, but he didn't expect the other party to send her daughter over.

Alai's expression darkened, and he said in a somewhat low tone: "Grandma passed away a few days ago, and she told me to find my father before she died. ”

Huo Zhen was stunned, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Alai, did your mother die because of the bloodthirsty Gu worm's backlash!" ”

"Ah, Brother Huo Zhen, you, how do you know?" Alai's eyes widened in surprise, and his ruddy mouth was wide open.

Sure enough!

Huo Zhen couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw that Alai's reaction was so big, the bloodthirsty Gu worm was so domineering, and he had already guessed that there were side effects of backlash, but he never expected that the side effects of backlash would be so strong. Alai's mother knew this, but she still fell into the Gu, which shows how much she hated and loved Shen Cheng back then.

"I'm sorry Alai, I hurt your mother!" Huo Zhen showed a hint of apology on his face, if he had known that the side effects of the bloodthirsty Gu worm would be so strong, when he prepared the medicinal liquid, he would not have added more than a hundred years of snake letter grass, but would have chosen a milder medicinal solution to treat Shen Cheng's Gu poison more slowly.

In this way, the Gu worm resistance in Shen Cheng's body would not have awakened so quickly, and Alai's mother would not have died.

Ah Lai was completely confused when he heard this, and blinked his eyes, "Brother Huo Zhen, what are you talking about, my aunt died of Gu worms, how could I blame you, and Brother Huo Zhen, how do you know that the Gu worms under my grandma are bloodthirsty Gu worms!" ”

Huo Zhen smiled bitterly, so he told Alai the cause and effect of the incident.

After hearing this, Alai fell silent for a moment.

At this time, the silence in the room was terrifying, even the faint breathing and heartbeat could be heard, and Huo Zhen looked at Alai quietly, this matter was actually not done wrong in essence, but it was a good intention to do a bad thing, he believed that Shen Cheng would definitely be heartbroken when he knew the consequences of treating Gu worms, after all, from the fact that he would rather die than go to Alai's mother, it can be seen that in Shen Cheng's heart, he loves Alai's mother very much, and he has always owed her.

After a long time, Ah Lai rubbed his fingers on the jade teacup, looked at Huo Zhen and said slowly: "Brother Huo Zhen, I don't blame you for this matter, Grandma told me before she died, she has always regretted giving Abba a Gu all these years, and now she can throw herself into the arms of Lishui's mother, but it is a relief." Besides, you also want to save my Abba, so you are my benefactor no matter what. ”

"Alai, thank you for your understanding, if you have any difficulties in the future, just look for my brother." Huo Zhen didn't expect Alai to figure it out so quickly, but despite this, he still felt a little uncomfortable, of course, he was more worried that Uncle Shen would not be able to withstand the blow after knowing about it.

Do you want to persuade Alai to hide it first?

Such a thought flashed in Huo Zhen's mind, but then he dispelled it, Alai's mother asked her to come all the way from the Lishui River to Jianghai City to find Shen Cheng, there must be something important to entrust, so if she wants to hide it, it will be contrary to Alai's intention.

In the living room of the main wing room in the front yard.

Shen Teng sent off a guest with a smile on his face, and when he saw Shen Moyu coming over, he couldn't help but smile and asked, "Moyu, didn't you say that you would come back later?" ”

"Something happened, so I came back early!" Shen Moyu said in a calm tone, and then asked, "Grandpa, what about my fourth uncle, why isn't he in the backyard?" ”

"Hehe, I asked your fourth uncle to go to the ancestral shrine." Shen Teng smiled on his face, but sighed in his heart. He knew that after the previous engagement of the Jin family, the relationship between Moyu and him would never go back to before.

Shen Moyu suddenly said, "Then when will my fourth uncle come out?" ”

"Well, it should be possible tonight, after all, other families are coming over tomorrow, Cheng'er is the protagonist of this banquet, and it won't work without him!" Shen Teng touched his beard, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Moyu, is that Huo Zhen little friend here?" ”

"Here, it's in the courtyard of the fourth uncle." Shen Moyu nodded.

Shen Teng smiled and said, "That's good, he should live here tonight, do you think he is arranging for him to live with you?" Or do you want to arrange a clean room? ”

"Grandpa, what are you talking nonsense, we are just ordinary friends, how can we live together!" Shen Moyu's face turned red when she heard this, and she glared at Shen Teng angrily.

Shen Teng laughed dryly, "I'm just making a suggestion, since you don't want to, then I'll ask your father to arrange a room for him immediately." But he said so, but in his heart he felt that his granddaughter was too shy, the relationship between the two was so obvious, what were you doing with it, it was important to create talents quickly. And he actually said that he was an ordinary friend, and he was really fooled when his grandfather was a three-year-old child.

Shen Moyu didn't know what her grandfather was thinking, if she knew, she would definitely scold him for being disrespectful, "Grandpa, you ask my father to prepare one more room, there is one more person tonight!" ”

"And another?" Shen Teng's eyes widened, his beard blew up, and he said in a teaching tone: "Moyu, don't be half-hearted, Huo Zhen Xiaoyou is such a good person, and it is rare for you to rely on him so much, what you have to do now is to catch him as much as possible, don't let him slip away from your hands, you must know that such an excellent young man can be rare in these years!" ”
