Shen Rouning's words made Chen Houwen feel a little more comfortable, and said with a smile: "Cousin is too exaggerated." He glanced at the sketch that Shen Rouning had put aside, and asked, "Does my cousin want to paint?" ”

"Hmm." Shen Rouning smiled and said, "I can't help my cousin-in-law with anything, so I'll draw some pictures for her, I hope she can be happier." It would be great if it could get better. ”

Chen Houwen didn't want to talk about Grandma Chen's illness at this time.

He carefully looked at the sketch, the sketch was a little messy, and he could probably tell that it was a lively and childish little girl, playing with the cat, and there were some small words written on it, and he was a little farther away, and he couldn't see it. Her painting style has always been unique, very delicate and realistic, as if it were real.

Both my grandfather and eldest brother said she drew very well. He also thinks it's good-looking, but to be honest, he doesn't like it too much. He prefers traditional landscape painting, which is a hazy artistic conception that can make people's hearts quiet and leave a lot of room for reverie.

But a little girl can paint such a picture, which is also a very remarkable and proud thing...... Chen Houwen thought wildly in his heart, and his gaze unconsciously moved from the sketch to Shen Rouning's face, but as if he was burned, he immediately moved away.

She's really beautiful. More beautiful than all the girls he had ever seen.

Chen Houwen was shocked, and hurriedly covered it up, and asked, "Where has my cousin traveled and been there?" When did you get home? I'm going to start leaving tomorrow, and I'm a little nervous. I'm not afraid of my cousin's jokes, I've been to Zhongshan Temple as far as I go, and no further. ”

"My cousin is also going on a study tour?" Shen Rouning was a little surprised: "Don't you wait for the beginning of the year to leave?" ”

"Big brother told me to go north. Serve with my grandfather for a while. It's not a formal study tour. Chen Houwen tried to calm his mind and replied.

"That's right." Shen Rouning replied: "Speaking of travel, I have only been walking for a year, all of them have turned to the southwest, gone to the plateau, and also went to the South Seas, I have gained a lot of knowledge and gained a lot of ......."

Shen Rouning casually talked about what she saw and heard on the road, and Chen Houwen listened a little carelessly.

It turns out that my cousin and aunt are indeed not like ...... Chen Houwen couldn't help but quietly look at Shen Rouning. Look very carefully. From the contours of her eyebrows and eyelashes, the curvature of her nose and red lips, to her neck, which is carefully cared for by the filigree neckline, and then ......

"Cousin Wen?"

"Ahh What the? Chen Houwen suddenly came back to his senses.

"It seems that my words are too boring. My cousin doesn't like to hear it. Shen Rouning felt that Chen Houwen's gaze was strange. I called him, and sure enough, I found that he was wandering. No, he seems to be thinking about something else. I was very focused.

"No, it's not." Chen Houwen blushed and hurriedly denied it.

"It's okay." Shen Rouning smiled and said: "Anyway, my cousin is about to travel far away, and he will definitely see more scenery than me, so I won't nag it." ”

Chen Houwen was very embarrassed, but asked again: "I don't know if my cousin will travel in the future?" ”

Shen Rouning shook her head: "When I went out, I knew that the world was vast. And what I've seen before is only a little. If you have the opportunity, of course, you still want to visit new places. ”

But she's almost fifteen, and the eldest girl's house is at home, how can she still run around?

"Didn't my cousin ever think about getting married?" Chen Houwen blurted out, and then immediately regretted the abruptness of his question, and wanted to explain: "I mean, when girls grow up, it's better to stay at home." It's so unsafe out there. ”

She was born so good-looking, even if she was dressed as a man, she didn't look like it. Moreover, there are also those black-hearted businessmen outside who deliberately caught the good-looking teenagers...... Chen Houwen shook his head, retracting his thoughts of running away, thinking to himself, she really shouldn't go out and do anything more. She is not a man, even if she likes to paint, can't painting some characters and flowers pass the time for self-cultivation?

Thinking of this, Chen Houwen nodded heavily and looked at Shen Rouning.

Shen Rouning was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Thank you Cousin Wen for your concern, I understand." But he was a little stunned. Sure enough, the only time she could travel was that year. It's too young to do it, and now it's even more hopeless when I'm older......

When Chen Houwen heard this, he said: "I am also thinking about my cousin's safety. Well, by the way, this time I went out, I should be back with my grandfather...... Does my cousin need anything for me to bring? ”

The two chatted for half an hour before Chen Houwen took his leave.

Before he had walked far from Banyue Xuan, he met Second Mrs. Chen standing on the side of the road, her expression changing uncertainly, as if she was waiting for him. Seeing him come out, Second Mrs. Chen hurried over, grabbed his arm, glanced at Ban Yuexuan quickly, and complained in a low voice, "Why have you stayed with her for so long?" ”

"Mother, are you looking for me?" Chen Houwen asked.

"It's okay, I just don't worry about you." Mrs. Chen said dissatisfiedly: "You yourself have been reading books for more than ten years, why don't you understand the truth that men and women should avoid suspicion?" Although your cousin is not an outsider, you are both old, and this talk will last for most of the day, and you are not afraid of gossiping! ”

Chen Houwen was a little weak and a little annoyed: "Mother, what are these words!" There are several maids in my cousin's yard, where do you think of it! Who in the family will gossip! ”

Second Mrs. Chen was about to argue, but Chen Houwen interrupted her and said, "Mother, you are so nervous, do you think that your cousin is not as good as the lady on your list or what?" "He is not young, and Mrs. Chen has already begun to look at the wife candidates for him, and there are a bunch of list portraits from various official media, but he is not stingy with money.

Chen Houwen was caught by Mrs. Chen for "reference" a few times, but he felt dazzled and annoyed, and the ladies on the painting were like a mold, he was perfunctory and didn't pay much attention.

It's better than a cousin.

At least, my cousin is beautiful and doesn't have bad intentions.

How many of those ladies who seem to be gentle and good-looking are as ruthless as Miss Huang San? He doesn't know, and he can't be reassured. Or cousin rest assured......

"Hey, you!" Second Mrs. Chen suddenly became anxious, pulled Chen Houwen aside, looked left and right to see that there was no one, and hurriedly asked, "What did you mean by that just now?" ”

"It's not interesting." Chen Houwen said.

"I'm telling you, son, don't look at her good-looking, you can't take your eyes off!" Second Mrs. Chen said: "What kind of family is our Chen family, and what kind of family is the Shen family?" Seeing Chen Houwen frowning, she hurriedly slapped her handkerchief again and said, "Okay, it doesn't matter where you are." (To be continued......)
