The people in the East and West Intermediate Courtyard all knew that Wen Sheng, who had the best relationship with Cao Zhijin on weekdays, actually quarreled with Cao Zhijin, and Cao Zhijin was so angry that he didn't leave the room for a day!

Everyone didn't come to provoke Cao Zhijin, but let her sleep peacefully all day.

In the evening, when everyone had not yet returned from the field, Cao Zhijin took Xiao Yin to the kitchen for a full meal, and then asked Wen Hai to send him out of the yard.

In the evening, everyone sat down for dinner together, Wen Sheng looked at her, with the meaning of reconciliation in his eyes, Cao Zhijin ignored him.

A dinner was quickly resolved in silence, and everyone was busy all afternoon, and it didn't take long for the courtyard to be silent.

Cao Zhijin went back to the room, did not light a candle, sat by the window with the window open, and listened carefully to the sound outside.

In the middle of the night, a melodious tune sounded outside the window, although the tune was clear, but it was not in harmony with the dark night, except for the people who were awake, no one woke up.

Cao Zhijin quickly lit the lamp in the house and ran to the courtyard.

I saw Chen Fansheng jumping down from the courtyard wall and landing silently.

"Xianggong!" Cao Zhijin rushed over to hug him quietly and excitedly.

Chen Fansheng touched her head: "Wait a long time!"

Cao Zhijin shook his head: "I slept all day today, and I was very energetic!"

She told him about Xiao Yin and the Baiyin Worm, and gave the Baiyin Worm to him, and asked him to take it to the market to exchange for money, and the money he got was half of Xiao Yin's.

Chen Fansheng put away the jar and did not speak.

There is only a wall between the middle courtyard and the east courtyard, and behind the wall of the middle courtyard, there is a person who hides and sees all this in his eyes.

The candlelight in the room reflected in his eyes, burning his eyes!

He knew that Chen Fansheng was sensitive, so he didn't dare to move until he left.

He tightened the box in his hand, it was still the same box he had wrapped in a pink cloth a few days ago, and it contained something very important.

He couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning, and his mind was full of Cao Zhijin's unhappy appearance. He took out the box and wanted to use it as a gift of apology, but as soon as he walked out of the courtyard, he heard a melodious tune, and then the lights in the east courtyard suddenly turned on.

It was all so sudden, curiosity drove him closer to find out, and then he felt a pang of pain in his heart.

The next day, Wen Hai didn't see Wen Sheng in the study, and on the table was this morning's homework and a note.

The note read: I have something to go out for half a day, don't worry!

Wensheng's fame is not small, and in the town, several learned lords in the town often invite him to his home as a guest.

It's also common to go out, but Wenhai didn't care.

But Wen Sheng did not go to the houses of several old men in the town, but went to Aunt Cao's house.

Xiao Yin was catching insects in the yard, and Aunt Cao walked out of the firewood room with a dustpan and said to him, "Ah Yin, move the bench in the yard."

Xiao Yin immediately ran over and set up the bench.

Aunt Cao rested the dustpan on the bench.

Inside the dustpan are dried sweet potatoes cut into strips, which are particularly warm in the sun.

Aunt Cao is such a passionate woman, she is industrious and all-encompassing, in addition to the agricultural and household chores that should be, she will make all kinds of pickles and dried fruits. With a mouth that can speak, and a pair of skillful hands, there is no one in the village who can beat it.

While carefully picking out the rotten dried sweet potatoes in the dustpan, her movements were accurate and neat, and she turned her head to Xiao Yin and said, "Go wash your hands, ready to eat." ”

Xiao Yin nodded, staring at the uninvited guest who had already walked to the gate of the courtyard.

"Yo, rare guest! Come on in! Aunt Cao put down the work in her hand, turned her head and went to the house to move a shady place under the eaves.

"Have you eaten? I've just got cooked here! ”

"I've eaten it." Wen Sheng glanced at Xiao Yin, Xiao Yin also looked at Wen Sheng, with his intuition, he would not have a pleasant whole day.

Really.

"Aunt Cao, I have something to tell you." Wen Sheng said to Aunt Cao.

Aunt Cao's eyes lit up, her face revealed excitement, and she barely hesitated, she went into the house and took a basket into the kitchen, and when she came out, the basket was bulging and covered with a flower cloth.

She handed the basket to Xiao Yin, "Good, go home and eat today!" ”

Xiao Yin opened a corner and looked at the dishes inside—all of which he liked to eat—so he had to carry the basket home.

"You've finally figured it out!" As soon as Xiao Yin left, Aunt Cao couldn't wait to say to Wensheng.

Wen Sheng lowered his head, and there was anger and shame hidden in his voice: "Last night, Chen Fansheng went to the courtyard of the brocade."

"There are so many of you, and you can't prevent a Chen Fansheng?" Aunt Cao said in surprise.

Wen Sheng clenched his fists.

Aunt Cao immediately reassured: "Auntie is not mocking you when she tells you this, she is reminding you that they are husband and wife, even if the old man is unwilling, it is actually nothing for them to meet secretly." Don't tell your Master! ”

"Didn't you say you wanted to help me?" Wen Sheng looked at Aunt Cao in surprise.

Aunt Cao waved her hand and said, "Who am I, you don't know yet?" Say help you, I'll help you! ”

Wen Sheng was silent for a while and whispered: "Last time, you asked me to persuade the master to let the marriageable man in the village give birth to Chen Fansheng with a war letter, and the method of forcing him to make peace with the brocade has not been proposed, but I didn't expect the master to bring the brocade back."

"From what I know about Master, Master has never acted so impulsively. I still haven't figured out Master's intentions. ”

Aunt Cao said disapprenously: "That's because you don't understand the heart of being a father." No matter how rational parents are, it is normal for them to be impulsive when they encounter their children. ”

"Auntie tells you, you can still use this method now, and it can be used justifiably!"

She looked at Wensheng and asked, "Auntie asks you, is the brocade boring every day?"

Wen Sheng nodded.

Aunt Cao patted her thigh and said, "You go and tell your master, say that let the brocade scatter your heart, and hold a talent contest in the village."

"Turning around, auntie, I quietly preached in the village that if you win the competition, you can become the son-in-law of the village chief's family, Chen Fansheng will definitely come to sign up when he hears about it, and then you will let the village chief and the brocade see how incompetent Chen Fansheng is."

"Even if the brocade has a deep affection for Chen Fansheng and refuses to reconcile, but the village chief has a spectrum in his heart, no matter how much he feels sorry for his daughter, he can't hurt his daughter for a lifetime, do you say this is the reason?"

"But what if Chen Fansheng doesn't participate in the competition?" Wen Sheng asked worriedly.

"That's better!" Aunt Cao said happily, "Don't worry, Auntie will work hard to publicize this news, and you will definitely let your master hear it." Although it is not true news, your master will definitely want to test Chen Fansheng, if Chen Fansheng does not dare to sign up, then his image in the village chief's heart is a coward. The village chief will not let his daughter live with a coward for the rest of his life! ”

"I always feel like there's something wrong!" Wen Sheng said worriedly.
