Wen Yuanyi is a thin-skinned, polite and well-behaved lady, and it is not easy for her to take the initiative to inquire about a man's news at this moment, so she has blushed after asking.

Zhou Qing saw her like this, and knew that she was happy with her brother, so he put down the wine glass, opened the skylight and said brightly: "Miss Yuanyi, I really regard you as a friend, and Miss Changping is not an outsider, I hope we can talk openly and honestly." ”

Wen Yuanyi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Miss Zhou Qing and Miss Changping, I also treat you as friends." ”

"Since we're all friends, I won't hide it, Miss Yuanyi, do you like my brother?"

As soon as Zhou Qing said this, Wen Yuanyi's whole person was stupid, and her cheeks turned even redder.

She looked around nervously, but fortunately, the maids were standing outside the pavilion at the moment so as not to interfere with the young ladies' speech.

Wen Yuanyi looked at Zhou Qing and then at Shen Changping, and the whole person was cramped and uneasy.

I don't want to admit it, she's not someone to lie; Admit it, she's not a thick-skinned person, and she's really embarrassed.

Shen Changping said: "Yuanyi, it's not a bad thing or ugly thing to be happy with a person when you are young, not to mention that you are still a gentleman with excellent character and learning." ”

Zhou Yan is indeed a gentleman.

Wen Yuanyi's heart fluttered.

Shen Changping said again: "Besides, you said that you treat me and Zhou Qing as friends, and friends should be honest with each other, not to mention that if you tell us what is on your mind, Zhou Qing and I will help you." ”

"Yes, yes, Miss Yuanyi, you are good-looking and kind, if you can achieve positive results with my brother, Zhou Qing will have a good sister-in-law, how good it would be."

Wen Yuanyi let out a "hmm" and lowered her gaze shyly.

Zhou Qing was very happy and said excitedly: "I knew it." ”

Shen Changping asked Zhou Qing: "What about your brother to Miss Yuanyi?" This kind of thing can't be slapped in the face. ”

Zhou Qing said: "From what I know about my brother, my brother must have admired Miss Yuanyi, but he is a person who follows the rules and will not easily ruin Miss Yuanyi's reputation, otherwise he would not have been fooled when Miss Zhang Ying designed to frame him last time." My brother, he likes Miss Yuanyi. ”

When Wen Yuanyi heard this, she couldn't hide her heart fluttering, but no matter how excited she was, she couldn't show it.

Shen Changping said: "Men and women are married, it is good that you and I are willing, but you can't escape the words of the matchmaker of your parents, right now, although Miss Yuanyi and Zhou Gongzi are in love, but in the end, the door is not right, Zhou Qing, you won't blame me for telling the truth, right?" Shen Changping shook Zhou Qing's hand.

"How so?" Zhou Qing was also very upright, "Indeed, my brother has no fame now, and our Zhou family is a flat-headed common people, so it is difficult to get Wen Junshou to agree to this marriage." ”

"It's not just hard, it's impossible." Shen Changping was more straightforward.

Wen Yuanyi's heart sank to the bottom, this is a very serious fact, Shen Changping and Zhou Qing did not exaggerate.

"But don't be discouraged," Shen Changping shook Wen Yuanyi's hand again, "It's up to people." ”

Zhou Qing also said: "Yes, yes, our Zhou family is a man, and we should plan more for the marriage, I will definitely spur my brother to get fame as soon as possible. ”

Wen Yuanyi was explained by Shen Changping and Zhou Qing, and the whole person cheered up again.

……

……

After the Wen family's small banquet was dispersed, the ladies went back to their respective homes and looked for their own mothers.

Zhou Qing sat in Shen Changping's carriage and went out of the county guard's mansion.

"Does Miss Changping have someone she likes?" Zhou Qing asked suddenly, and Shen Changping was stunned.

Zhou Qing smiled, "Who said that it is not a bad thing to be happy with a person when you are young, if you are happy with a gentleman with excellent character and learning, then there is no shame." Who said that friends should be honest with each other, so Miss Changping told me to tell me. ”

Zhou Qing held Shen Changping's arm and coquettishly.

Shen Changping pushed her away and said, "You speak first." ”

Zhou Qing laughed: "Miss Changping is really a clever person, but unfortunately, I don't." ”

"I thought you liked Ye Gongzi."

"What do you say, Brother Ye?" Zhou Qing immediately shook his head, "He's just my brother, I'm not in the right relationship with him, besides, I don't have a relationship with him, didn't I tell Miss Changping about this before?" ”

"Then I'll be relieved." Shen Changping exhaled.

Zhou Qing shuddered: "Could it be that Miss Changping likes Brother Ye?" ”

"Yes." Shen Changping actually admitted it like this, Zhou Qing was incredible, and immediately danced with joy after being stunned for a moment.

"I must tell Brother Ye, or tell my brother, let my brother go and tell Brother Ye, Brother Ye must be very happy, Brother Ye is happy Miss Changping. Now Miss Changping also likes Brother Ye, that's great, this kind of thing can't be slapped in the face, only the two are happy. ”

Looking at Zhou Qing's eyebrows, Shen Changping smiled and said, "Thank you so much Miss Zhou Qing." ”

"Since it's a friend, it's okay to call me Zhou Qing."

"Okay, Zhou Qing, then you can call me Changping in the future."

"Yes, Changping."

The two girls were happy, and the carriage came to a halt with a clatter.

Qin'er's voice came from outside: "Miss, Miss Zhou Qing's home has arrived." ”

Zhou Qing lifted the curtain and saw that his home had arrived.

If you have a carriage, it's fast.

Zhou Qing invited Shen Changping to sit at home, Shen Changping shook his head and refused, saying that it was too late to go home early, and he would make a special trip to visit another day, and Zhou Qing did not force the invitation, because if he didn't go to prepare it early, there would be no dim sum at home that could entertain Shen Changping at this time.

Zhou Qing got out of the carriage, waved goodbye to Shen Changping, and watched Shen Changping's carriage go out of the alley, then turned around and prepared to go home.

Her hand was about to tap on the door, when it went dark in front of her, and a sack fell over her head from behind—

Zhou woke up and found himself in a room, the room seemed familiar, and then a familiar face appeared in front of him.

"You, Gongzi Weng-" Zhou Qing was startled, and was about to get up, when he found that his hands and feet were tied and fixed on the bed, unable to move.

Zhou Qing's heart sank to the bottom.

I've been kidnapped!

"Someone, help!" As soon as Zhou Qing shouted, Weng Ce raised the pot in his hand, the spout of the pot was steaming, and he could know that the pot was filled with boiling water without touching it.

Zhou Qing shut up in time.

The corners of Weng Ce's lips hooked up an evil sneer, and his face was like a madman, and he said, "Miss Zhou is quite knowledgeable about current affairs, but why should she refuse my uncle's proposal?" ”

"Gongzi Weng is a scholar, he understands things, and he knows why I refuse, and the instructor should not mention this family matter at all." Zhou Qing regretted it after speaking, how could he reason with a frenzied kidnapper?
