Zhou Meilin saw Hu Erwa suddenly walk into the house, and hurriedly lowered her head and walked towards her cabin. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info pretty face is flushed, eyebrows are shy, and even the appearance of walking is a little unnatural.

"Second baby? Why did you come back so quickly, didn't you just eat enough? Su Chen turned around and said without hesitation, "The two of us were playing a tense and exciting game just now, and whoever blinks first will lose." Whoever is going to lose will have to wash the dishes. He scolded unevenly in his heart, you gorilla, Lao Tzu's offensive plan is all ruined in your hands. Did God arrange a special salary for Lao Tzu? Every good thing is delayed by you.

"And which of you loses?" Hu Erwa asked curiously.

"Seeing that I'm about to win, it's all your fault for making such a fuss, causing me to blink first." Su Chen shook his head and sighed, his face full of resentment. Gorilla, I can't wait for a lightning bolt to kill you!

"I didn't mean to, I left the key on the chair when I left just now." Hu Erwa said embarrassedly, then scratched her neck with a smile, "Why don't I clean the dishes for you?" It's all my fault. ”

"It's okay, I'll just wash the dishes myself, I'm willing to lose the bet." Su Chen smiled and excused himself, and then saw that on the chair where Hu Erwa was sitting when he was eating just now, there was indeed a copper key tied to a red cloth strip. I couldn't help but secretly cry bitterly, gorilla, can you have a snack, if it weren't for your carelessness, Lao Tzu would have won a big victory at this time.

"Hey, I'll go back first? I'll come back to you in the evening to chat. Hu Erwa picked up the key from the chair and put it in her arms. Then he stared left and right with his eyes, tiptoed to Su Chen's side, and asked softly in a suppressed voice, "Mei Lin has accepted my letter, what should I do next?" ”

Su Chen couldn't help but gasp, and said seriously: "Wait and see what happens, so as not to respond to all changes." "Gorilla, are you really stupid, or are you deliberately pretending to be stupid? Lao Tzu is your biggest rival!

"I don't understand what you're talking about, but I think it makes sense." Hu Erwa grinned, and then patted Su Chen's shoulder, "It's worthy of being my good brother!" I'll go home first, and I'll come back to you in the evening. ”

Hu Erwa came fast and left fast. Only Su Chen was left standing in the outer hall in a daze, why do I always feel that I am cheating?

Su Chen quickly cleaned up the table, washed some pots and pans and put them in the kitchen cabinet. After walking to the outer hall, I saw that the wooden door in Zhou Meilin's house was still tightly closed. This chick really can't hide? That's it, it's time for me to take a nap. The bad things in the morning were one after another, and Lao Tzu's body was seriously overdrawn.

Towards evening, Lao Zhou returned from the city pushing a dilapidated wheelbarrow, his wrinkled old face full of satisfied smiles. As soon as he walked to the entrance of the village, he saw a group of people chattering and discussing together, and Lao Zhou also approached curiously.

"Have you heard? The silly boy who lives in Lao Zhou's house is going to leave for Luoyang tomorrow. ”

"Who doesn't know about this, it is said that this stupid boy frightened the black-faced general and saved Chen Goudan's life."

"Yes, it's a pity that this stupid boy doesn't know if he has real skills, but I'm afraid that he will inevitably lose his head when he arrives in Luoyang."

"It is written on the emperor's list that if you don't pass the palace exam, you will commit the great crime of punishing the nine clans."

"What are you discussing?" Lao Zhou asked with a puzzled face, "Does it have anything to do with the stupid boy in the old family?" ”

"Huh? Brother Zhou, what are you doing here, you just came back? A plainly dressed and chubby old man next to him asked.

"The old man went to the city in the morning to sell dried fish, what happened in our village?" Lao Zhou asked worriedly.

"It's a long story, Chen Goudan from our village, didn't he go to the city with your daughter and the second child of the old Hu family the day before yesterday. Oh, by the way, the silly boy who lives in your house also went along. They unveiled an imperial list in the city and came back, and the officers and soldiers came to our village this morning to arrest people, saying that Chen Goudan had secretly hidden the imperial list and wanted to arrest him and kill him. The fat old man paused for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Later, your stupid boy came out of the blue, hey, this is good, he actually saved Chen Goudan." However, this stupid boy promised the general who came to arrest Chen Goudan and wanted to go to Luoyang with the general to treat the emperor. If you want to be able to cure the emperor's mental illness, you can be named the first emperor of the dynasty. Hey, if you can't cure it, you'll be guilty of the great sin of punishing the nine clans. ”

After Lao Zhou heard what the fat old man said, he also understood in his heart, and unconsciously became nervous. Although Su Chen has not lived here for a few days, this kid has a good heart, and he knows how to be polite and obedient. Who would have thought that such a thing would be put on the table. Lao Zhou said a few perfunctory words, then pushed his wheelbarrow and hurried home.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Lao Zhou smelled a fragrant smell. sighed in her heart, this good daughter of the old man is really getting more and more sensible.

Lao Zhou didn't care about packing up, pushed the wheelbarrow to the old locust tree, and hurriedly entered the house. As soon as I arrived in the outer hall, I saw several small stir-fried dishes on the table, which were delicious in color and delicious. Lao Zhou was really not interested in these at this time, and his mind was full of Su Chen's affairs.

"Ouch, you're back, sir. What are you doing standing, sit down and drink some water and rest. I'm still short of one last dish, and I'll serve it out as soon as it's ready. Su Chen heard footsteps coming from the outer hall, walked to the kitchen door and saw that Lao Zhou was back, and hurriedly greeted him warmly.

"Su Chen, are all the dishes on this table made by you?" Lao Zhou asked with an incredulous face.

"It's ugly, it's ugly, if I don't make it delicious, don't be angry." Su Chen said with a smile, then smelled a pungent smell, slapped his hands and said loudly, "Damn, it's almost a messy pot!" After saying that, he quickly turned around, picked up the big spoon on the stove in his hand, and turned the dishes in the wok.

It's strange, what did the old good daughter do? Su Chen, this kid can actually cook? Lao Zhou shook his head and sat down, picked up the kettle on the table and poured himself a bowl of water.

Su Chen smiled and walked over with a plate of freshly fried soybean sprouts, and then placed them on the table. He tore through a rag hanging from the head of his bed and wiped his hands dripping with water.

"Lao Yu just heard a group of people talking in the village, are you going to Luoyang tomorrow?" Lao Zhou took two sips of water, looked at Su Chen anxiously and asked.

"You know it all, huh? I'd like to tell you more about it later. Su Chen smiled, sat down at the table, and continued, "Uncle, don't worry!" Maybe if I become the emperor, I will take you to the imperial capital after a while, so that you can enjoy your old age in Luoyang City. ”

"You stupid boy, do you really have such skills?" Lao Zhou asked suspiciously.

"Uncle, you don't have to worry about it, I have a score in my own heart about this." Su Chen patted his chest, then looked at Zhou Meilin's house again, and pouted, "Meilin has been staying in the house all afternoon, or will you call her out for dinner?" ”

Lao Zhou looked at Su Chen, then at the closed wooden door of Zhou Meilin's room, and said with a smile in his eyes, "Are you stupid boy, provoking the old and good daughter?" ”

"Even if I have the courage, I don't dare to provoke your good daughter." Su Chen said with a smile, "You treat me like your own son, how can I bully Mei Lin?" It's too late to feel distressed. ”

Old Zhou laughed heartily for a while, then stood up and walked to the door of Zhou Meilin's hut and knocked lightly.

"Good daughter, come out to eat, Su Chen has already made dinner." Lao Zhou stood outside the door and said kindly.

"Dad, my daughter knows, I'll come out later." Zhou Meilin's pleasant voice came from inside.

After a while, Zhou Meilin walked out shyly. When she saw a few plates of hot dishes on the table, she couldn't help but be a little surprised. The pretty pink face is charming and moving, and the look of wanting to talk is very cute. I really didn't expect this crazy idiot to cook for dinner.

"Merlin, don't praise me! I know I'm a great cook, but if you compliment me, I'll be proud. Su Chen said with a smile, as if he had completely forgotten what happened at noon.

"Dead face, who rarely praises you." Zhou Meilin said shyly, and then walked to the table and sat down.

Lao Zhou looked at his good daughter and Su Chen arguing, squinted his eyes and smiled.

During the meal, Lao Zhou originally wanted to persuade Su Chen to give up going to Luoyang, but then he thought that if he didn't go, he would have to lose his head. Lao Zhou sighed while eating, for fear that there would be an accident after Su Chen arrived in Luoyang. Su Chen didn't care, he thanked him again and again, and was very grateful to Lao Zhou for taking care of him in the past few days. At the same time, he once again assured Lao Zhou that he would take Lao Zhou to Luoyang when he became the emperor.

Zhou Meilin seemed to be hiding something in her heart, except for a few perfunctory words occasionally, she just buried her head in eating. Su Chen's heart felt very depressed, could it be that his actions at noon were too abrupt? But this chick doesn't look angry.

After dinner, Zhou Meilin preemptively cleaned up the table. Su Chen saw that the sky was not too dark, so he went to Chen Goudan's house alone. After Chen Goudan woke up, his expression also recovered a lot, and the two patted each other's shoulders and thanked each other. Chen Goudan thanked Su Chen for saving his life this morning, and Su Chen thanked Chen Goudan for saving him, Hu Erwa and Zhou Meilin the afternoon before yesterday.

Su Chen was about to go to bed at night, Hu Erwa came over slowly, but Zhou Meilin hid in her cabin and never came out. Su Chen accompanied Hu Erwa to talk a few nonsense, it was nothing more than waiting for me to develop, and I would take you, a gorilla, to pretend to fly together and something like that. The two also made an appointment that when Su Chen left tomorrow morning, Hu Erwa would see him off.

After Hu Erwa left, Lao Zhou hadn't slept yet. He walked out of his room and sat on a chair in the outer hall, shaking his head and sighing, for fear that Su Chen would be in danger when he arrived in Luoyang. Su Chen and Lao Zhou patiently explained that their fortune was absolutely fine. But Su Chen's heart is also full of unknowns, Luoyang, will it really be calm?

After extinguishing the oil lamp, Su Chen lay on the bed in the outer hall, tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep for a long time. After spending this night, what will I expect? What can I rely on in this strange world? The figure of the Taoist chief came to his mind.

Late at night, Su Chen woke up in a daze. suddenly found that Zhou Meilin's hut was still lit with oil lamps. I only heard the sound of rustling inside, what was she busy with?
