Hearing this, the man laughed lowly, "You girl, don't call the wrong father, your father will be very sad." When he opened the sliding door, he said, "This door is good, it's a little interesting." "When people go out, they don't forget to close the door.

Qingshu couldn't react for a long time, what is the situation?

"Miss is here, over here." Gu Yuanhe's eager voice sounded outside, mixed with many footsteps.

The door opened, Qing Shu raised his head, and the first thing that caught his eye was Zhou Boyan, who looked panicked.

Zhou Boyan only had Qing Shu in his eyes, rushed into the door, quickly arrived at Qing Shu, and pulled Qing Shu up, "Are you okay?" Did it hurt anywhere? ”

Qing Shu just stared at his face in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time. Like, really like, the face in front of me is very similar to the face of the man in black just now. It's just that this face is very young, and the man in black looks like he is in his thirties. Another difference is that the person in front of him rarely smiles, and often has an expressionless face, giving people a very mysterious, very dull, very old-fashioned, and a little cold. And the man in black loves to laugh very much, and he has been laughing from beginning to end, giving people a gentle and harmless feeling, very kind.

Seeing that she was just staring at herself, with an unknown light shining in her eyes, and she didn't answer the question, Zhou Boyan raised his hand and carefully touched her cheek with his fingertips, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Next to him, the chief of the guard probed the snorts of the two maids and whispered, "It's okay, it's just that I've fallen asleep." ”

Gu Shishi picked up Xiaojuan on his back and walked out, and Wei Tiehammer, who came in behind, hugged Xiaoyu and followed him out. The chief of the guard, who went out at last, closed the door of the private room and stood guard himself.

When Qing Shu came back to his senses, he found that he was leaning on Zhou Boyan's arms, and he was still being hugged by Zhou Boyan's waist, so he instantly blushed and pushed him angrily, "Let go of me." ”

Zhou Boyan saw that she finally recovered as usual, although it was a pity that there was no nephrite in his arms, but he was also relieved, let go of her, and took three steps back, "What happened?" Who broke in and knocked your maid unconscious? When he heard that Qing Shu had suddenly gone out, he was uneasy, and immediately asked the guards to gather, and asked everyone, and finally learned from Gu Qiang that Qing Shu's destination was a flavor snack shop, and he felt a little at ease. However, after sitting for a while, he still felt that something was wrong, so he chased after him with someone.

Coincidentally, after Wu Xiaoshan served food to the guests in the cubicle, he wanted to refill the tea for the Qingshu in the private room, so he brought the teapot over, but saw a black shadow standing at the door of the private room where the young lady was located, he just wanted to ask what he was doing, the man moved, actually entered the private room next to him, and closed the door. He didn't remember that there were guests in this private room today, so he quickly ran to the counter and was reporting to Gu Yuanhe about it, when Zhou Boyan rushed in with someone in a hurry, and opened his mouth to ask where Qing Shu was.

Everyone was relieved to see that Qingshu was doing well, and the two maids were not in danger. However, the guards broke into the private room next to it and found nothing. It was empty, there was no one at all.

Qing Shu didn't understand the appearance of the man in black, as well as the words of the man in black. Her thoughts were still very confused, and she didn't have time to investigate Zhou Boyan's intimate actions to her at this time, so she just frowned.

Zhou Boyan saw that she was distracted again, and asked again, "Did anyone come in just now?" What the hell is going on? ”

Qing Shu came back to his senses, then remembered the matter, and asked urgently, "How old is your father?" As far as she knew, Master Zhou, the secretary of the Ministry of War, should be in his forties and almost fifty years old, but Zhou Boyan looked too much like the man in black just now. What the hell is going on?

Zhou Boyan: ......

Qing Shu couldn't do it in a hurry, "Why don't you answer?" Don't tell me, you don't know how old your dad is. "What is the relationship between the inexplicable man in black just now and Zhou Boyan? Looking at the age, it doesn't match the Lord Zhou of the Ministry of War. It was a mess, and she was going crazy.

Zhou Boyan saw that she was very excited, and held her hand uneasily, "Don't worry, don't worry, you sue me first, why do you ask that?" After asking, he immediately changed his words, "Don't say it yet, this is not the place to talk, I'll talk about it when I go back." ”

Qing Shu didn't object, only then did he think of the two maids, and he was relieved to know that the two of them had been sent back to the carriage.

Halfway back, Xiaojuan woke up. Qing Shu asked her how she fell asleep, she said that the door opened, she thought it was a guy who came to serve the second dish, looked back, only saw a dark shadow, and then she didn't know anything. Xiao Yu woke up when he was about to arrive at the front of the house, Qing Shu also asked Xiao Yu what he said, and Xiao Yu's answer was exactly the same as Xiao Juan. To put it bluntly, the two maids didn't know anything at all, which made people dizzy.

Qingshu told them, this matter is in the past, don't mention it to anyone. It's not something that can be explained clearly, it's useless to talk about it, and the less people know, the better. Besides, the two maids didn't know anything in the first place.

After returning home, Zhou Boyan motioned for Qing Shu to go to his yard to talk, Qing Shu was a little resistant to getting along with him alone, but he wanted to figure out what was going on, so he hesitated for a moment and turned around to go to the courtyard where he lived.

Entering the room, Qing Shu sat on the chair closest to the door in the outer room.

Zhou Boyan said: "Go inside and talk." ”

Qingshu does not move the place.

Zhou Boyan, "I won't eat you again, what are you afraid of?" It turns out that you also have times when you are afraid. ”

"What do you have to fear from me?" Qing Shu choked him directly, then got up and went into the room, and sat on the side of the kang table, only then did he come back to his senses, and secretly scolded himself for being an idiot, and immediately turned stinky, but he sat and didn't move.

Zhou Boyan then came in, sat on this side of the kang table, looked at her face, and asked, "Do you want to drink some tea?" ”

Qing Shu said angrily: "I'm not thirsty." Without further ado, let me ask you, who looks the most similar between you and your family? Daddy or brother? "In ancient times, there was a difference of more than ten years between brothers, and there were not a few people in their twenties, and it was not strange for a man in his twenties to have an older brother in his thirties, and it was not ruled out that the man in black and Zhou Boyan were brothers. Oops, it's already messed up anyway, I don't understand.

Zhou Boyan's answer was a little indifferent, "Some people say that I look more like my father, and some people say that I look more like my mother, I don't know who I look like more." ”

Qing Shu's words brought out anger, "Don't you know who you look like when you look in the mirror?" Don't be perfunctory with me, hurry up and tell the truth. ”

Zhou Boyan said with a serious face, "It's been a long time, I don't remember." ”

Qing Shu couldn't rush up and strangle him, "Yes! I saw a man today, not to mention temperament, just looks, you have eight or nine points of similarity. ”

Zhou Boyan's body stiffened, and there was something surging in his eyes, "What did you say?" ”

Seeing that he had an obvious change in love, Qing Shu stared at him, "A man who looks very much like you suddenly appeared, stunned my maid, said some inexplicable words, and then said something weird like remembering to call dad next time we meet, and left." ”

Zhou Boyan stood up and paced on the ground with an irritated expression, and when he stopped, his eyes flashed with anger, and he asked Qing Shu, "Why did you suddenly go to the shop?" ”

Qingshu, "My shop, I can go whenever I want, how can there be so many why?" ”

Zhou Boyan didn't accept her perfunctory, and came over a few steps and grabbed her wrist, "Sue me, why did you go out suddenly?" ”

"If you do this again, don't blame me for being cruel to you. Let go. Qing Shu frowned and glared at him.

Facing her provocative gaze, the annoyance condensed in Zhou Boyan's heart dissipated somehow. However, he didn't let go of her, but gently pinched the back of her hand, turned over her palm, rubbed the callus of her palm, and his voice was low and a little bewitching, "Many things are secret to others, but to you, they may not be secrets. ”

Qing Shu was about to swing out his fist, but he paused because of his last sentence.

Zhou Boyan took the opportunity to hold her clenched fists together, not to shake her pain, and not to let her pull away, his voice was low, without the ups and downs of emotion, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, "The person you see is probably really my father." You may or may not know that my father and mother have been away from me for six years. My dad was lying there covered in blood, and he was like that for my mother. It was very chaotic, he couldn't tell the difference between friend and foe, and there was a shout of killing, and he was left there. ”

"My mother, she's never been someone who can be understood. Before my dad fell, she had someone else in her heart. When my dad fell, she said she had only my dad in her heart. Later, we went back to my father, but I couldn't recognize which one was my father. It's my mother, she cries as she holds an unrecognizable corpse, and calls my father's name. After burying my father, my mother was depressed for more than half a month, and suddenly said that she was going out to find her way home, leaving me alone. ”

"Uncle told me that I am not afraid, because my mother's home is in the palace, and no matter how far she goes, she will definitely return to the palace. I didn't believe it, so I went after her, and finally caught up with her, only to find that she was not alone, and there was another man standing next to her. I begged her to come home with me. She shook her head and said that she couldn't go back without my father in that house. That day, it was raining heavily and the wind was strong, and she was standing on the edge of the cliff, saying that she wanted to be able to return to her real home, smiled at me, and jumped off the cliff. ”

Qing Shu, who was listening attentively, felt her heart contract, how ruthless this woman's experience was, so that she could jump off the cliff in front of her son, and she was not afraid of leaving a psychological shadow on her son. What a terrible woman. Qing Shu was suddenly afraid to listen to it.

"My father once told my uncle that my mother was the most cold-blooded and ruthless woman in the world. I overheard this, got angry with my father, and didn't talk to my father for a few days. But when she smiled and left me, I believed it. Zhou Boyan said this, and pressed Qingshu's hands on his heart, "Seeing that you are working hard for Qingyang and others, I know that women in the world are not all cold-blooded and ruthless." ”

Qing Shu's face was sluggish.

"My dad is still alive, I guessed, but I don't know where he is. He, even if he lives, can't come back. He paused, "It doesn't matter if you don't come back, I just need to know that he's alive, and that's enough." ”

Qing Shu opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

"He, is he okay?" Although he has been pretending to be calm, he still leaked his feelings in the end, and his tone was a little unstable.

It took Qing Shu a long time to react, and at the same time he understood that Zhou Boyan was admitting that the man in black was his father. "He's very kind and smiling. The letter, the letter, should be addressed to you. Sorry, me, I burned it...... I can't give it to you. ”

Zhou Boyan didn't understand at first, but when he thought of a possibility, a fire rose in his chest, "What did you say?" ”

Burning his father's letter, Qing Shu felt that he was at a loss, but thinking that this letter almost killed the whole house, he couldn't do anything to his father, but he was in front of him, so he withdrew the hand that he pressed in his heart, clenched it into a fist and beat him, "It's all you, and it's really because of you." Seeing that his face was very ugly, and his eyes were staring at her with burning eyes, she thought that he was complaining that she had burned his father's letter, so she pushed him hard, "Go away, don't get so close to me." Then he turned sideways, pulled a piece of paper from the corner of the table to write letters, stretched out his arm and took the brush, but found that there was no ink to stick to the brush, and glared at him with a look of annoyance, "Sharpen the ink." ”

Zhou Boyan's face was very bad, but he also took the inkstone, put some water in it, and grinded it carefully.

Qingshu couldn't wait for him to make it too good, so he dipped the brush and wrote: Wu'er, I can smell my son's heart, and my father is very relieved. At three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, Wangwu'er will stand in front of the flavor snack shop with him for a moment. Dad can take a look from afar, and that's enough.

Zhou Boyan stared at the words on the paper for a long time and didn't speak.

Qing Shu saw that his attention was not on her, so he quietly moved to the side, little by little, wanting to leave while he was not paying attention. But unfortunately, when she was about to succeed, he grabbed her wrist.

Zhou Boyan's gaze was still on the paper, "Where do you want to go?" ”

Qing Shu was annoyed, "I didn't know it was for you, and you don't blame me if you burn it." ”

Zhou Boyan grabbed her wrist tightly and didn't let go, "That's all?" ”

That seal is really a disaster, and you can't talk nonsense. But now, he has the right to know. Qing Shu said with an awkward face: "You, you go down a little." "She didn't want to die yet, but she didn't want to be heard.

Zhou Boyan didn't understand her intentions, so he just stood still.

Qing Shu felt that it was too difficult to talk to him, so a free hand directly grabbed the placket of his clothes and pulled it down, and said fiercely, "Come here, go down a little." ”

Zhou Boyan leaned over and approached her, let go of his wrists that were holding her, and pressed his hands on the edge of the kang from both sides of her, feeling a little like he was encircling her in his arms.

Qing Shu realized that he had done something stupid, his face was very close to hers, and he could count how many eyelashes he had. She was depressed, and her upper body sitting on the kang unconsciously leaned back slightly, barely pulling a little distance from him, "You turn your face sideways." ”

He was very cooperative this time.

Qing Shu tugged at the placket of his clothes, and spoke in his ear a little uncomfortably in a voice that only he could hear, "It is covered with the seal of the royal family of Xichang Kingdom." ”

Zhou Boyan listened, and his body stiffened.

Qing Shu pushed him, "That's all, you can get out of the way, I'm hungry, I'm going to eat." ”

He took a deep breath, "Gone? ”

Qing Shu nodded, "It's gone." I couldn't figure it out at the time, if it was framed, the content of the letter was too strange, so I guessed if it was sent to the wrong place. I wondered if I would find something when I went to eat at the shop. I didn't expect it, it was like that. ”

"What are you going to do to eat in the shop, you should stand directly in front of the shop." He said with a bit of gritted teeth.

"I'm not his son's sweetheart, why should I stand there and let him see? Get out of the way, I'm going to eat. She nudged him again, but didn't push him away.

"Who said no, you stood there and fulfilled him."

Qing Shu's eyes glared at the boss, "You...... What nonsense are you talking about? ”

But he stood up straight, took out the royal blue brocade from his arms, and opened it, revealing a pair of white jade bracelets.

Qing Shu lowered his head, "Hurry up and get out of the way." "She had a bad premonition.

He grabbed her right wrist and put it on her without giving her a chance to retreat or run away, then took another bracelet, grabbed her left hand and put it back on, and whispered in her ear, "Dad has seen it too, and the token has been accepted, and we will marry next year." ”

The word marriage took back Qing Shu's consciousness that was shocked, and she shouted, "This girl will marry you when she is crazy." He shouted and took off a bracelet from his wrist and raised his hand to throw it out.

Zhou Boyan had already stepped back, said with his hands behind his back: "Two thousand taels and one." ”

Qing Shu's action of throwing it out paused stiffly, "Many, how much?" ”

"Two thousand taels of silver for one piece, and four thousand taels for a pair."

Qing Shu looked at Zhou Boyan like a fool, "You spent four thousand taels of silver to buy this thing?" It can't be eaten or drunk, and if you accidentally touch it one day, it will break, and the four thousand taels will be gone. ”

Zhou Boyan lost his temper at all by her reaction, and coughed, "Then what do you like?" I'll buy it for you another day. The bracelet will be worn first. ”

Qing Shu lowered his head, took off the one on his other wrist, carefully put a pair of jade bracelets on the kang table, and stood up, "I don't like this, and when I think of what I like, I will naturally tell you." As he spoke, he forced himself to walk out calmly.

Zhou Boyan's eyes narrowed.

Qing Shu spoke again at this time, "What I like must be very precious things in the world, are you sure you can buy it for me?" ”

"Hmm."

"Cheng, remember first, and when I think about it, I will definitely ask for you."

"Not perfunctory?"

"Not perfunctory. When the time comes, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it. There was a faint smile in Qing Shu's eyes, and he stepped out of the threshold.

"Wait a minute."

The movements on Qingshu's feet stiffened.

Zhou Boyan pulled her back into the door, "If you want me to believe you, you can." To prove your sincerity," and then pointed to the left side of his face, "as he did to Qingyang." ”

Qing Shu's answer was, annoyed and angry, he twisted his arm to Qing, and then walked away.

Although it hurt to be twisted, Zhou Boyan had a faint smile on his face. At this time, he also felt that Gu Ruixing's words were not wrong at all, and sure enough, his vision was very special.

Midnight dream, looking at the dim moonlight shining in from the window, Qing Shu recalled the touch of the jade bracelet on his wrist, as well as the way he smiled and smiled when he was obviously twisted very painfully, a little dazed, and a little indescribable and inexplicable very subtle feeling. In the dream, there was a shadow that was getting fading and fading, and it was already faint and blurred, but his face was so clear when he forcibly put a bracelet on her wrist. She rolled over, closed her eyes and lay quietly.

The next day, the weather was fine, and it was a day of sunshine. Qingyang ran to ask Qingshu, saying that he wanted to take Chen Qiaojiang and Luo Xiaorong to play in Zhuangzi. Qing Shu agreed, and asked Gu Qiang to arrange the carriage and horses and the entourage.

Chen Qiaojiang is the precious grandson of Chen Zhifu, and Luo Xiaorong is the precious grandson of Luo Shangshu, Qingshu naturally didn't dare to slack off, and he followed. Zhou Boyan also brought six people to go.

When they arrived at Zhuangzi, Qingyang took Chen Qiaojiang and Luo Xiaorong to visit the livestock shed at the back, and then watched the big pigs and pigs, chickens, ducks and geese. They were not too dirty, and ran into the fence where chickens, ducks and geese were circled during the day, and ran happily, chasing chickens flying all over the fence, and ducks and geese screaming and running around. The mother-in-law who came from Chen's Mansion and the maid who came from Luofu were in a hurry, begging their little masters to come out quickly.

Chen Qiaojiang and Luo Xiaorong were running happily, they didn't listen at all, and they didn't let Qingyang, who was about to go out, say that it was fun. In the end, the woman in Zhuangzi, who was responsible for feeding the chickens, ducks and geese every day, found out and forced the three of them to go out of the fence on the grounds that they were frightened that they had no eggs to eat.

There was nothing to play here, so the three of them ran out of Zhuangzi, running wildly on the ground for a while, and running to Zhang Da who was grazing cattle for a while, and there was no time for a moment to live. With the scholar and the guards following, Qingshu was also relieved and let them run.

Qing Shu took Xiaojuan to walk in the field, looking at the crops as she walked. This spring there was plenty of rain, the crops in the field were growing well, and there were many weeds, so everyone was busy weeding.

Xiaojuan pointed to the side of the road, "Miss, there are a lot of wild vegetables over there, and the slave wants to dig some back to eat." ”

Potherb? Qingshu's eyes lit up, "Okay, you teach me to identify, I also dig, and it's the best to eat with sauce." ”

"Miss, does eating sauce mean soy sauce? Soy sauce is very expensive, and I am reluctant to put more in cooking, and it is a waste to eat wild vegetables. ”

Qing Shu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Oh my God, when spring started, why didn't I think of trying to make sauce!" No matter, you hurry up and get the basket and the utensils for digging wild vegetables, let's dig the wild vegetables first, and as for the sauce, I'll think about it slowly when I go back. It would be great if it could be made. ”

Xiaojuan has always been what Qing Shu says, even if she doesn't understand, she doesn't dig too deep, just complete the task that Qing Shu explains. However, she didn't care about anything, and when she left, she actually ran to Zhou Boyan who was standing on the other side, pointed in the direction of Qing Shu and said something.

Qing Shu shook his head and walked towards the place where Xiao Juan pointed out that there were many wild vegetables. Qingshu looked at it while walking, there were indeed a lot of edible wild vegetables, probably because the nearby peasant women did not dare to dig wild vegetables near Zhuangzi, and there were no traces of digging. Qing Shu was so happy to see that he just looked down at the wild vegetables and walked away, but he didn't notice that he had gone a little far.

When she saw a plant that she used to dig up when she was a child, she squatted down happily. In fact, she didn't know what it was called, when she was a child, the children in the village called it sweet grass, for no other reason, because its rhizome was sweet when bitten, and she heard adults say that it could be used in medicine, but as for what disease to cure, she didn't know. She wanted to dig it out, even if its rhizome hadn't grown yet. Unfortunately, she doesn't have the tools.

She looked up to see if there was any sweet grass nearby, but she saw a man dressed as a farmer sitting under a big tree fifty or sixty meters away, smiling at her.

She stood up in surprise, lifted her skirt and turned around to run back, shouting loudly as she ran, "Zhou Boyan, Zhou Boyan......"
