Some words are not easy to say too plainly, especially when it comes to the innocence and reputation of women. Zhou Boyan secretly said Gu Ruixing's concerns, that is, the question of whether Shen Yuehua was innocent during his captivity, and the question of how the Shen family would deal with Shen Yuehua now.

Qing Shu was really shocked, "No matter what, the fact that she is the daughter of the Shen family cannot be changed." Since they are blood relatives, it is a blessing for people to find them back, and it makes no sense...... "There is no reason not to recognize the daughter who was hurt, is it?" It's just that if everyone thinks so, probably the women in the world won't feel sad. "So, how did Gu Liu plan to do so?"

Zhou Boyan guessed, "Eight or nine is not far from ten, he will entrust people to you and let you help take care of them for a period of time." ”

When they returned to Beijing, Gu Ruixing would personally talk to the Shen family about Shen Yuehua. After the Shen family discussed, they must come up with a solution. According to the meaning of Gu Ruixing's words, if this solution would hurt Shen Yuehua, Gu Ruixing's mother was the first to refuse. As for what will turn out in the end, Gu Ruixing is not clear. Therefore, Gu Ruixing talked to him, about Shen Yuehua's current whereabouts, he only told his mother and mother, and the Shen family did not let go for the time being. To put it bluntly, it is to hide people for the time being, in case the Shen family sends people to pick them up behind their backs.

It's the same as Zhou Boyan's guess. In the afternoon, Gu Ruixing met with Qing Shu and entrusted Shen Yuehua to Qing Shu, asking Qing Shu to take care of him for another period of time. He also specially instructed Qing Shu that without his permission, no matter who came to pick up someone, Qing Shu could not give it.

Qing Shu was surprised, but didn't ask why, he should have gotten down. Anyway, the person was brought by Gu Ruixing, and it should be taken away by Gu Ruixing in the end. She didn't want to know what was right and wrong, and she didn't need to know. However, there is one thing that Qingshu needs to ask clearly. "I don't think she's alone in the house all day. I want to take her around the house every day and talk to her. In this way, the people in the house will see her. I said that she was a girl from a distant cousin's family, and something happened in her hometown and she came to join her. Do you think this will be a success? "When Gu Ruixing sent people overnight, he said that this matter should not be publicized, and Shen Yuehua would not be allowed to show up in front of people. That's what she asked.

Her words are not unreasonable. It's not a good thing to be alone in the house all day. Gu Ruixing said, "Then it's troublesome for Sister Qingshu." ”

Qing Shu gave him a blank look unceremoniously, "Wait and see!" When I enter Beijing, if you dare to call my sister again, I will definitely tell Yuyan that you are neither big nor small, and my sister has never called me. ”

Gu Ruixing said with a cheeky smile, "Sister Qingshu, the brothers and sisters are ranked down to see the age. The sixth brother's sister shouted that she should have her share. ”

"What, dissatisfied? Yu Yan called my sister. ”

"Hey, hey, you can't say that, the age is there. I am older than you, and you are older than Yu Yan. According to my age, I am the oldest, and this title must be based on the sixth brother, you must call me brother. ”

"Don't be there to be strong words. In terms of relationship, Yu Yan and you, who do I have the best relationship with? That's naturally Yu Yan. Go back and practice the word 'sister' by yourself. When I enter Beijing, do you dare not call me sister, hum ......" Qingshu gave him a threatening look.

Gu Ruixing didn't dare to argue now, but looked at Zhou Boyan, who was sitting on the side and had never intervened. His eyes clearly wrote: Why don't you care about her?

Zhou Boyan turned a blind eye to this and drank his tea leisurely. This was brewed for him by Qingshu himself, and he was reluctant to waste it, so he naturally drank it while it was hot.

Gu Ruixing wanted to scold the two of them for being a wolf. However, thinking that Qing Shu dared to do anything (especially being able to beat people, without considering his image at all), and thinking that Zhou Boyan's fists always sinisterly greeted him in the face, he endured it. However, he also has a way to take revenge on Zhou Boyan. That is, after the matter is finished, he can still not leave, he will just sit here and not leave, and he will not give Zhou Boyan and Qingshu a chance to be alone. So, he smirked.

Qing Shu didn't know what Gu Ruixing was laughing at. Anyway, when the matter was over, she didn't bother to pay attention to it. She sorted out the books scattered on the bookcase, then took a bound blank booklet and placed it in front of her, poured a little water into the inkstone, and began to slowly polish the ink. She uses ordinary ink, and she usually uses good ink for Qingyang and Qinghao. Of course, when writing letters to Zhou Boyan, or to the Chen Mansion, the Luo Mansion and the Bufu in the capital, she will use good ink instead.

When the ink was polished, she took the smallest brush on the pen holder, dipped it in ink twice, and picked up the pen to outline something on the cover of the booklet. After a few dips in the ink, she finally sketched out the pattern she wanted, stopped her pen, and blew, hoping that the ink would dry quickly.

Zhou Boyan and Gu Ruixing sat side by side opposite Qingshu's bookcase. What Qing Shu was doing, they could see it with a glance.

Gu Ruixing looked at it again and again, but he couldn't see what it was, and couldn't help asking, "What is this painting?" ”

Qing Shu didn't answer, feeling that the ink was almost dry, and opened the cover, revealing the blank page inside. In fact, she was secretly scolding Gu Ruixing in her heart for his lack of vision. She drew a bud cob on the cover, a bud cob with half of the skin peeled off and the tip of the rice grain exposed. In other words, it is Qingyang or Hao of her family, which can be seen at a glance.

Zhou Boyan said lightly, "Bud Valley." ”

"What?" Gu Ruixing was very surprised, stood up, stretched out his arm and went over to take the booklet.

Qing Shu felt disturbed, and paused the pen that was about to write. Seeing him take the booklet to read, she glared at him dissatisfied, "What? ”

Gu Ruixing looked at it again and again, and then returned the booklet to Qing Shu, who was staring, and asked, "What do you do with the bud grain stick?" ”

"You have to take care of it." Qing Shu choked him, put the booklet right, and turned the blank first page, picking up the pen and preparing to write.

"Girl's, don't be so stingy." Gu Ruixing said.

Qing Shu wanted to slap the table, but endured. She put the ink-stained brush in the groove on the inkstone and looked up at Gu Ruixing, "Are you idle?" ”

"At this point, it's nothing." Gu Ruixing replied smoothly.

Qing Shu called Xiao Juan, and Xiao Juan, who was waiting outside the door, entered in response. She commanded, "Go, go to the school and keep watch." If the young masters are out of school, please come over. ”

Xiaojuan agreed and retreated on an errand.

Gu Ruixing looked at Zhou Boyan puzzled, hoping that Zhou Boyan could tell him what the situation was.

Zhou Boyan had an expression on his face that I didn't know anything.

Not long after, Qingyang and the four of them ran like a race and rushed into the study. It turned out that Xiaojuan went by coincidence, and just after passing, she heard Mr. Lu announce that she would leave school. Mr. Lu walked out of the school, and Xiaojuan went in and said that Qingshu was calling them. When the four of them heard this, they all threw their unsorted schoolbags to their respective scholars and ran over.

Qing Shu squinted with a smile when she saw the four, and announced, "Before dinner, he," she pointed to Gu Ruixing, "is a mountain bandit." You are officers and soldiers who do evil for the people. What should officers and soldiers do when they see mountain bandits? ”

"Kill." Chen Qiaojiang shouted with an excited fist.

"Catch." Qingyang replied.

"Beat him." Luo Xiaorong's eyes sparkled and announced.

"Clean him up." Not to be outdone, Hao also gave advice.

Gu Ruixing had a hint of bad premonition.

"So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and drag him out and clean him up. "What Qing Shu said is called a cheerful.

Oooooooo......oo The four boys who already love to play, now that they have such a fun game, who is willing to let it go! Gu Ruixing didn't even have time to escape, and he was surrounded by these four at once. Some grabbed him by the arm, some by his belt, and some by the back of his robe...... In short, he didn't dare to hurt these four with his hands, and then he was dragged out by these four people head-on.

Zhou Boyan, who hid to the side, calmly held his teacup and watched the excitement, without any intention of saving his brother. Qing Shu has long been in the mood to write, and the one who laughs behind him is called a happy person.

Gu Shishi was coming over with a log box. He saw Gu Ruixing, who was dragged out by the four small ones, and his mouth opened to the boss. He wondered, what was the situation?

Gu Ruixing thought he had seen a savior, and hurriedly shouted, "Stone, save me." ”

"Huh?" Gu Shishi's face was dazed.

"No, you can't." Chen Qiaojiang shouted.

"He is a mountain bandit, whoever saves him, whoever is an accomplice with him, will be arrested and sent to prison." Qingyang made a statement while twisting one of Gu Ruixing's arms, and did not forget to warn Gu Ruixing, "If you want to escape, the crime will be increased." ”

"Hit the board, hit him the board." Luo Xiaorong hugged Gu Ruixing's other arm tightly, and the whole person was almost hanging on his arm.

"Hey, hey, my brother is not bad to you on weekdays, so I don't bring you like this." "Ah, don't, my belt, stop, what if it's torn? Chen Qiaojiang, you stinky boy...... Hey, hey, you guys, don't pull my arm at both ends, it's broken, it's broken...... Stinky boy, which one is tickling me, ha...... Don't, stop it...... "Gu Ruixing can take care of this head, but he can't protect that head, and he is in a hurry and doesn't dare to break free.

Hao raised his feet, grabbed the back of his robe with one hand, and scratched his back with the other, making it look like a worm crawling.

Looking at this situation, Gu Shishi was not at a loss, but laughed happily, "Haha...... Gu Liugongzi, let you bully me, you also have today. Ha ha...... Young masters, clean him up, clean him up, haha...... "He can't help but want to help."

Gu Ruixing's head was big and depressed, and when he was swaying from side to side to dodge, he accidentally tripped under his feet. He could have steadied himself. However, I don't know which boy did the bad, but he stumbled him again, causing him to fall on one knee. When he tried to stand up, a few small ones threw themselves on his back with excited faces. Well, he fell to the ground, and it was face down. Fortunately, he had to protect his head and face in time, otherwise he might have fallen out of the most wolf style, which is the style of a dog or something.

Qingshu was standing at the door watching the excitement. Seeing the tragic appearance of Gu Ruixing falling to the ground, she hugged her stomach and laughed regardless of the image.

Xiao Juan gave Gu Ruixing a sympathetic look.

Gu Ruixing struggled to get up several times. However, Qingyang pressed him and didn't let him get up at all.

Chen Qiaojiang shouted the loudest, "Caught, caught, we caught the mountain bandits." ”

Gu Ruixing wanted to cry without tears, "Spare me!" My brother's image, my brother's image of a beautiful man is ruined. ”

Those in front of him are all looking at his lively and lively, who cares about his beautiful man image!

The little girl who was watching from the sidelines ran away and soon ran back again. She grabbed a red fruit in her hand that was not yet red, squatted down, and put it in front of Gu Ruixing, "Eat, you have the strength to eat." ”

Gu Ruixing felt that the little girl in front of her with two bags of buns was really good, too kind, and too cute.

"Hurry up and eat, otherwise you won't have the strength to play with the young masters." Xiaoya said solemnly.

Gu Ruixing almost choked on his own saliva. This, this, there is no good person in this house. He thought, he couldn't afford to get up anyway, so be it! Just get on your stomach and don't move.

He thinks well, but others don't agree. The four little ones no longer pressed him, but pulled him by the arms and legs, and shouted for him to get up.

Before going to bed at night, Gu Ruixing went to Zhou Boyan's house to sit down, and began to count Zhou Boyan's various unrighteous behaviors.

Zhou Boyan turned a deaf ear and was full of official letters and letters. When he felt annoyed, he kicked someone away from the noise, "Don't bother me." "Tomorrow he will have to be separated from Qingshu. And this noisy person went back, not only could he see his fiancée, but he would soon marry someone back to his house. He's mentally unbalanced right now! Whoever provokes him, he will clean him up.

Gu Ruixing is not stupid or stupid, so he naturally reacted. So, he went back to sleep.

After that, Gu Shishi peeked at Zhou Boyan with his head probe, and quickly walked away. After about two quarters of an hour, he came back again, still peeking at Zhou Boyan with a probe.

"Get in." Zhou Boyan said coldly. He felt that Gu Shishi was in arrears again.

Gu Shi was startled, he didn't enter the house, but ran away, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

After a while, Gu Shi went and returned, and rubbed into the house little by little.

Zhou Boyan was about to have a seizure, but he saw Qingyang poke his head out from behind Gu Shi. He immediately eased his face, "Come here, why did you hide behind him?" ”

Qingyang stepped forward and announced with a smug face, "Brother, Xiaoyang is here to invite you to barbecue." ”

Zhou Boyan was slightly surprised, "Huh? ”

Gu Shishi smirked and grabbed the words, "Childe, you have to move quickly, otherwise you won't be able to eat the meat that Miss Gu personally roasted." ”

Zhou Boyan was even more surprised, and asked Qingyang, "There is no one hunting in the mansion, where does the meat come from?" Did someone go hunting rabbits, wild boars and other wild meat? He thought it was a common barbecue method in the wild.

"No, it's pork, pork bought during the day in the house. My sister said, roasted and eaten, just as fragrant. Qingyang explained.

When Zhou Boyan heard this, he immediately got up, "Let's go, go and have a look." ”

The barbecue venue is the small courtyard where Qingyang used to live. At this moment, the small courtyard is clean. In the middle is a burning fire, around which there are square and low stools. The wind was blowing, and five wormwood ropes were lit in a row to repel mosquitoes. Some distance from the fire was a strange square iron trough with four legs welded. Next to it was a long table with cups, plates, and dishes, and a lot of thinly sliced meat.

There is the aroma of barbecue in the air. Qing Shu held a pair of chopsticks that were a foot long in one hand and a spatula in the other, not knowing what to do in the iron trough. The little girl squatted on the ground, took some of the shortened dry branches in her hand, and seemed to throw them into the lower layer of the iron trough one by one. Xiao Yu held an empty plate in one hand and a plate with meat slices in the other, standing beside Qing Shu.

Xiaojuan, together with Luo Xiaorong, Chen Qiaojiang, and Hao, surrounded the two wooden barrels, not knowing what they were doing. Guan Mutou and Chu Yi walked around with things in their hands, not knowing what they were busy with.

Zhou Boyan looked at this qiē, raised his eyebrows, and walked to Qing Shu's side. When he saw that there were slices of meat on the surface of the iron trough, and the slices of meat were bubbling with oil and the smell of meat at the moment, he was slightly stunned. "What is this?"

There were already fine beads of sweat on Qingshu's forehead. She didn't care about wiping it, and smiled at him, "I mentioned a barbecue a few days ago, and Qingyang and they fell in love." Knowing that you were leaving tomorrow, Qingyang begged me all the time, let me barbecue meat for you. No, they couldn't grind them, so they got such a thing. ”

With a smile in his eyes, Zhou Boyan raised his hand and wiped Qingshu's sweat with the handkerchief in his hand.

Qing Shu was stunned for a moment, then turned red, and lowered his head to turn over the slices of meat.

Zhou Boyan withdrew his hand casually and watched Qingshu barbecue.

Some of the meat slices were cooked on both sides, Qingshu picked them out one by one, put them on an empty plate at the small fish end, and then took some marinated raw meat slices and put them on and continued to grill. She took the time to say, "There's a clean bamboo skewer over there, try my roasted meat." ”

Without Zhou Boyan doing anything, Gu Shishi immediately took bamboo skewers and plates, and took five or six pieces of barbecue meat and put them on a plate, and handed them to Zhou Boyan.

Zhou Boyan took it, and he didn't eat the first piece of meat picked up by the bamboo stick, but handed it to Qing Shu's mouth and motioned for Qing Shu to eat.

There are maids and scholars around, and the key is that there are Qingyang them. Qing Shu blushed and turned his face away to dodge. He insisted that he give her food. She couldn't twist it, and it was more noticeable, so she cheekily ate the slices of meat he handed him.

Zhou Boyan was satisfied, so he picked and ate it himself. After eating a slice, he nodded in praise, "It tastes good." "It's a little salty, ginger, slightly spicy, and delicious.

"What's that? Why is it so fragrant. Gu Ruixing came, and followed the fragrance to Qingshu's side.

Seeing Gu Ruixing, Zhou Boyan immediately snatched the tools from Qing Shu's hand, and then stuffed them to Gu Ruixing, "You come to barbecue." ”

"Hey, hey, that's not right, I was invited to eat barbecue, but I didn't come to ......" When he saw the sizzling slices of meat being roasted on the surface of the iron trough, he sighed, "Can meat still be roasted like this?" ”

Gu Shike can raise his eyebrows. He proudly talked about how to roast the meat, how to master the fire, and so on. Tonight's barbecue was caused by him. If it weren't for him encouraging Young Master Qingyang, if it weren't for his vigorous assistance from the side, he wouldn't be able to prepare for this matter, how could his son-in-law be so happy!

Zhou Boyan took Qingshu to Luo Xiaorong's side. Only then did he realize that these small ones were skewering meat pieces and vegetables. Skewers of greens? He was astonished.

Qing Shu watched them fight and said with a smile, "You can take the skewers and bake them, and the rest of my sister will do it." ”

Qingyang and the others cheered, grabbed a handful of skewered meat in their hands, and ran to Gu Ruixing's side to grab a place. On the iron trough, the top tin plate is removed, and the bottom is a shelf for kebabs. The craftsman handled it well, the smoke would come out from the side, and the meat skewers would not have a strong smoky smell.

Qingshu just wanted to take over the meat skewers, but Zhou Boyan pulled her to the fire.

Qing Shu asked in a low voice, "What is this?" ”

Zhou Boyan said as a matter of course, "There are so many people doing things, you can sit with me." ”

And so, the two men sat down by the fire, and said a word. Lily of the valley brought them grilled slices of meat. After a while, Luo Xiaorong brought them some skewers. They tasted everything, but they didn't eat much.

I don't know if it's because the fragrance is too strong, or if people are too greedy. One after another, Cai Jian came, the chief of the guard Hong Wei came, and Mr. Lu brought Sheng Ge to join in the fun. A group of people were talking and laughing about barbecue and eating meat, and I don't know who brought wine to Mr. Lu.

While everyone was not paying attention, Zhou Boyan quietly abducted Qingshu away. In fact, he didn't go far, but he found a ladder in a no-man's corner, and then he put the ladder and coaxed Qingshu to the roof.

The smoke of the wormwood rope rose and drifted right over one part of the roof, and the mosquitoes did not come close.

Qing Shu was a little scared, and he had some careful thoughts about doing bad things, so he was taken by Zhou Boyan and moved forward carefully. When they got to the place where there were no mosquitoes, the two of them sat down next to each other.

The houses of this era do not refer to the common people, but to the houses of large families, and the eaves are mostly cornice-type. The so-called cornice-like type means that the eaves stretch outwards and are cocked in different postures. Zhou Boyan chose a good location, using the cornices, and the people below looked up, and they couldn't see them if the angle was wrong. And they can condescendingly see a qiē in the courtyard. Of course, because of the angle, they can't see the people under the eaves.

The two of them quietly watched the fight scene below, and they felt very happy without speaking.

After a while, Gu Ruixing was looking up and laughing, and Gu Shishi took the empty plate and buckled it on his head. Gu Ruixing was startled, and immediately dodged away, and no longer looked up.

Gu Shi's heart fell to the ground and wiped his sweat. He said in his heart: Which of you who is not long-eyed dares to look up, I will detain whom?

Zhou Boyan saw Gu Shishi's actions clearly, and then stretched out his arm to wrap his arms around Qing Shu's shoulder. Qing Shu wanted to speak, he booed, and took Qing Shu to lie on his back on the roof. That way, no matter who looks up, they can't be seen.

Qing Shu asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?" ”

"That way, no one will be able to spot us."

Qing Shu listened, stopped dodging, and stopped holding his arm still.

Then, the two spoke softly, just small talk, nothing special.

Later, Qing Shu jokingly asked him if she would be immersed in a pig cage if she had a private meeting with a man like this.

He turned his face and said, "Don't say that again." If you don't soak me in the pig cage first, no one will want to touch a single hair of you. ”

Qing Shu snorted, but he didn't say anything with a smile.

At last they crept down from the roof of the house before the end of the day, and then sat in the corner as if nothing had happened, as if they had been sitting there.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhou Boyan and his party were ready to go.

Qingshu and Qingyang saw them off in person. The housekeeper brought some dry food prepared by the house so that they could rest their stomachs when they slept in the wilderness.

Looking at the team that was gradually moving away, Qingshu took Qingyang and them into the mansion and asked them to close the door of the mansion.
