Chapter 20: I Don't Want to Marry You
As soon as she took a step, she realized that it was still raining outside, and she had no choice but to walk back into the house.
The dust on the pestle had not yet been wiped off, so Shen Nanyan had to pick up the coat in his hand and prepare to wipe it again.
Thinking of her coat, she realized that she had just taken it off, and she was wearing only a white single coat inside. If she was the only one, she wouldn't have noticed anything, and when Ah Ci and them came back, she would have put on her brother's clothes, but now the person in the same room with her was Mu Zhao, which made her a little embarrassed.
Thanks to Mu Zhao for putting his coat on her, Fang relieved the embarrassment of seeing people in single clothes.
But late autumn has arrived, it is raining outside, and the house is cold and heavy, Mu Zhao gave her his coat, what should he do himself, it must be very cold.
Although his excessive politeness made her a little unhappy, it was nothing compared to his health.
Shen Nanyan took off the coat that Mu Zhao had put on for her and handed it to Mu Zhao: "Thank you Mu Gongzi for your kindness, but autumn, the weather is cold, Mu Gongzi should be colder than me at the moment." She was suddenly glad that she hadn't taken her coat to wipe the dust in time, if her coat was dirty at the moment, it would be really inappropriate to stay in the same place with Mu Zhao in a single coat.
Mu Zhao saw Shen Nanyan stop moving, stood up and returned his coat to himself, he was a little puzzled, and after hearing her words, he was even more ashamed in his heart, and felt that he was not worthy of her.
"No need, Miss Shen, you just put it on."
Mu Zhao refused her return of clothes, he and Cheng Mu had already gotten into the carriage and were about to go back, but it suddenly rained in the sky, he remembered that she was there alone, and he was worried that she would get wet and would be prone to cold, so he specially braved the rain to come to give her clothes.
"Mu Gongzi, I am not related to you, I am afraid it is inappropriate to accept your kindness at will." Shen Nanyan was worried that Mu Zhao's body would be unbearable under such a stalemate, so he deliberately found an excuse to refuse his kindness, and also let him know how inappropriate what he said just now was, and how disturbing it sounded.
Although she had already understood her intentions for herself early on, listening to such estranged words, Mu Zhao couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart, thinking that her heart was like a rock, but she didn't know that people were not plants and trees, and who could have no heart.
Shen Jin asked him to stay away from Shen Nanyan, and let him personally break Shen Nanyan's infatuation, he thought that this matter could be solved in just a few words, but he never thought that it was so difficult.
It's so hard that Ming Ming has the opportunity to let him speak all the time, but he always doesn't have the opportunity to do so, it's so difficult that he obviously said such distant and polite words, which hurt her heart, but he didn't expect that the saddest person in the end was himself.
Mu Zhao didn't shirk, took his coat and walked out of the house.
Shen Nanyan hurriedly unfolded his coat, put it on carefully, and tidied up the folds of his clothes.
After some hours, although the coat is not completely dry, most of it has already dried, leaving only a small part of the area is still wet, and it is very uncomfortable to wear on the body. But there is no other way, it's better than getting along with Mu Zhao there in single clothes.
After putting on his coat, he also had his hair cut, and before Mu Zhao came in, Shen Nanyan walked out the door to look for him.
The rain has not stopped, and it seems that it is still getting heavier and heavier.
There is an eaves outside the house, which can still shelter from the rain, but the cold wind blows, and the wind blows like a knife, which can be compared to the cold wind in winter.
Mu Zhao stood under the eaves in full clothes, staring at the rain in front of him, the cold wind blew his sleeves and blew him, as if he didn't know the pain, and there was no change on his face.
"It's getting heavier and heavier." After a long time, Mu Zhao said these words.
"The rain will always stop." She said.
When the rain stopped and the sky cleared, Shen Jin came back with Ah Ci and the horse.
Their clothes were dry and not wet from the rain, but their hair was slightly fluffy.
Shen Jin's eyes were sharp, and he soon saw Mu Zhao next to Shen Nanyan, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he quickly returned to normal and said, "Brother Guishi, why are you here?" ”
"Brother Cheng and I came here to ride horses, and the rain was a little heavy, so we came here to shelter from the rain." Mu Zhao explained gently.
While the two were talking, Ah Ci stood next to Shen Nanyan and didn't look at Shen Jin again.
Shen Jin's attention was quickly diverted, and he didn't pay attention to what Mu Zhao said, just looked at Ah Ci and stopped.
If Shen Jin thinks about it carefully, he will definitely find why the two of them came here to ride horses together, and only Mu Zhao stayed here after the rain, and Cheng Mu was not seen?
It's a pity that Shen Jin didn't have time to think about it now, otherwise he would never let Mu Zhao break Shen Nanyan's infatuation again.
He is already a person who is obsessed, how can he let others break off his infatuation.
These are all afterwords, after Mu Zhao finished speaking, Shen Jin patronized Ah Ci's side, just nodded and did not speak.
Mu Zhao was not a fool, so he naturally saw that something was wrong between Shen Jin and Ah Ci, and he was also very smart not to speak, and let the two of them make trouble there.
Shen Nanyan also found that something was wrong between the two of them, took a closer look at Ah Ci, and found that there was not much anger or sadness on her face, relieved, knowing that it was time for the two of them to be alone, and said, "I'll go back to the house first, brother, and you and Ah Ci will go back to the house later." ”
She still trusts her brother's character, although the two are now having an awkward quarrel, but his brother will definitely protect Ah Ci and not let her suffer a little grievance.
Shen Jin also planned to go back together later after coaxing Ah Ci, but he was afraid that it would not be safe for Shen Nanyan to go back alone, so when he saw Mu Zhao, who was silent on the side, he hesitated for a moment and then spoke: "Brother Huishi, you can send my sister for me, I will invite you to drink another day." ”
Although Mu Zhao had the intention to stay away from Shen Nanyan, it would have been a willful move to return here today, but he was worried that it would be unsafe for her to go back alone, so he still responded: "That's natural, Ah Jin's sister is naturally my sister." ”
Hearing the word "sister", Shen Nanyan frowned slightly, looked up at Mu Zhao, and was silent.
This sentence seemed familiar, and Shen Jin couldn't help but start thinking back to where he had heard it.
At the palace banquet that day, he sent a veil to Shen Nanyan, and when he came back, he thanked him, and he also said this.
"Ah Jin is polite, your sister is my sister."
Hearing these words suddenly made his heart tremble, as if he was making too much of a fuss.
People have always regarded your sister as their own sister, but you are fortunate because your sister likes others, and you can't look at other people's everything, and let people personally break off your sister's infatuation.
Once again, he felt from the bottom of his heart that he couldn't live with him, and he was determined to make amends to Mu Zhao in the future.
After thinking about this, Shen Jin's worries and displeasure disappeared completely, and he patted Mu Zhao's shoulder with a smile: "Don't thank you for your great kindness, Brother Guishi." ”
Before leaving, Shen Nanyan was afraid that Ah Ci would feel uncomfortable, so he deliberately pulled her aside, and didn't ask her what happened, and instructed her carefully: "If you are not happy in your heart, come back early, or I will stay here with you." ”
"Miss and Mu Gongzi will go back to the house first, and I'll be back later." Ah Ci's voice was hoarse and said softly. No matter what happened to her or what happened to others, Shen Nanyan was her favorite person in her life, and she would not send her resentment or anger at her. So even though she was a little angry now, she still softened her voice and replied.
"Okay, you have to come back early, I'll ask Red Sakura to prepare hot water for you, come back and take a bath, otherwise beware of the cold." Shen Nanyan took Ah Ci's hand and said softly.
Ah Ci nodded and watched Shen Nanyan and Mu Zhao leave.
The figure faded into the distance, still looking into the distance, refusing to withdraw her gaze.
"Does it still hurt?" Shen Jin walked over and hugged her, and asked in a dumb voice.
The breath swirled around her ears as she spoke, which made her heart itch, she was already a little ashamed now, where would she let him do this, and broke away from his hand around her waist: "You let go of me." However, Shen Jin's strength was too great and he couldn't struggle.
"Ah Ci, I'm sorry." Shen Jin felt a little guilty.
Ah Ci also knew that she was a little vexatious in doing this, but the pain in her body was all a reminder that she was not dreaming, and what she had been longing for was completely shattered: "Young master, let me go, I want to go back to the border." ”
"What are you doing back to the border? Aren't Uncle Song and Aunt Song in Beijing? When I went back, I told my father and mother, I want to marry you as my wife. Shen Jin was a little flustered and hurriedly said.
"The border is free, the sun is shining, the air is fresh, and the view is wide, which is the best place for me to live." When it comes to border passes, I can't help but think of a vast meadow, with cattle and sheep all over the place, and a picture of green grass.
Seeing that what Ah Ci said was true, Shen Jin raised Ah Ci's face and let her look at herself: "Didn't I say it?" I want to be with you all the time, protect you, don't let you be hurt in the slightest, so that you can be carefree and simply happy for the rest of your life. ”
"Young master, I don't want to marry you, and I'm not going to marry you, I just want to be by your side for the rest of my life. But will the lord and lady let me stay with you after that happens? ”
Hearing the girl he liked in his heart say in person that she had never thought of marrying him, Shen Jin couldn't stand it, and was a little angry: "You mean that although we are together now, you have never thought of marrying me?" ”
He doesn't understand, they grew up as childhood sweethearts, and now they have the same heart to heart and love each other sincerely, although there is a gap in identity, but his father and mother are not unreasonable people, and will hinder them from being together, why Ah Ci is unwilling to marry him in the end.
"Yes." Although she is innocent, she is also a stubborn temper, and what Shen Jinfang did just now made her long-standing plans and hopes completely shattered, and she bit her voice heavily with red eyes.
It's not because she doesn't want to marry you, it's because she can't marry you.
How dare you be a wife? How dare you live in the capital as the young lady of the Shen Mansion?
