As soon as Zhong Yong went out, he saw Shen Mingze with a flattering face---

"Uncle, are you back?"

"Hmm."

Zhong Yong used to love the only youngest son of his father-in-law's family very much, thinking that his father-in-law's family was also prosperous in the army, but he changed careers over the years.

Although he regretted and couldn't understand it in his heart, he also loved this clever little nephew.

"I heard that you have become an official in the court? Well done, now the father-in-law should feel at ease. ”

Shen Mingze listened to him praise himself, and the smile on his face was brilliant.

provoked Zhong Yong inexplicably.

Isn't this a neurosis?

"Cousin should be here today, it's been a long time since I've seen my cousin, uncle."

"Well, it should be soon, you go to the city gate to take a look, when I left the house just now, I saw Jinxiu and they went to the city gate to pick up his brother."

"My cousins also went, then I went too, I haven't seen me for a few years, and I don't know if my cousins still remember me."

After Shen Mingze finished speaking, he didn't forget to bow his hand, and he was in order, but in Zhong Yong's opinion, his behavior became more and more like those pedantic officials in the court.

I sighed slightly in my heart, and I felt infinite pity in my heart.

Shen Mingze went outside the city and looked for his cousin and cousin in the nearest restaurant at the city gate.

He deliberately pretended to meet them by chance and looked at them.

"Cousin, what a coincidence."

Zhong Jinxiu looked at his smiling face and wanted to step forward to grab a handful, but so many people looked at her, and she didn't act rashly.

"Cousin, aren't you going to court today?"

"Hugh Mu, cousin, this restaurant belongs to my brother, whatever you want to eat, order whatever you want."

When Zhong Huai heard this, he was very excited.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he said that he was hungry.

Zhong Jinxin pulled him and motioned for him to be quiet.

"Sister, I'm hungry, aren't you hungry?"

When Zhong Jinxin saw his cousin, he remembered his aunt's words, and he was proud in his heart, so naturally he didn't need to be like this.

"Bear with me."

Zhong Jinxiu said: "Zhong Huai is hungry, so he eats some snacks, and it's not that he has no money to pay." ”

Shen Mingze looked at the attitude of the Zhong family's sisters and brothers, and his heart tightened inexplicably.

Ah Xiang, who followed Shen Mingze, had already gone out to order food, and looking at the attitude of the Zhong family's sisters and brothers, he was not worthy of his young master.

Shen Mingze sat down and saw that his cousin was wearing a lake blue coat today, with a touch of pure white inside, jet-black hair, gently holding a bun, a simple blue ribbon tied to the bun, and a simple jade bead on the ribbon, hanging on his chest, although simple, but in a novelty, and the ribbon was embroidered with a double-sided pattern, although it was simple but did not lose its identity.

It's just that I'm dressed up and down.,I've never seen anything I sent.,It seems that my cousin is really showing his attitude.。

Although I have known it for a long time, I still have some scheming in my heart at the moment.

After a while, a table of delicious food was served.

Zhong Huai glanced at Zhong Jinxiu inexplicably, and saw that her eyes were looking out the window on the road, and she looked at the third sister.

Zhong Jinxin looked at the big table and touched her wallet, she didn't have many opportunities to go out, and she didn't have the habit of carrying money.

Zhong Jinxin said: "Eat, the eldest sister said, she will pay in a while." ”

Shen Mingze saw that Zhong Jinxiu didn't care about himself, so he retreated and said, "Cousin, but what did my cousin do wrong?" I've messed with you. ”

Zhong Jinxin pouted and said, "Cousin, can the second aunt know about your encounter with us?" Does my grandfather know? ”

"What my second aunt said that day, I listened to it next to me."

"Said that his son is very intelligent, and he will marry a wife in the future, he is a Qingliu family, knowledgeable, we women from the military general's family, don't be delusional, cousin, we can't reach you, and I hope you don't get too close to us, and let people slander us."

When Zhong Huai heard this, he was still eating, but now he stopped.

Looking at Shen Mingze with malicious eyes, he already understood some of the words.

"Cousin, don't you want to marry my sister?"

Shen Mingze coughed softly, looked up at Zhong Jinxiu, and saw that she was indifferent, keeping her eyes staring outside.

However, when he heard Zhong Huai's words, he suddenly turned his head.

His eyes were cold, and he said, "Cousin Mingze, you said that if I fell into the river with my second aunt in the future, you could only save one person, who would you save?" ”

Shen Mingze was stunned and said:

"Why does my cousin ask like that?"

Why do you ask?

At that time, my cousin liked a lace woman, but my second aunt disagreed, and forced each other to die, and my cousin finally had no choice but to compromise.

Lovers can't stay together after all.

If you had to start over, how would my cousin choose?

If you choose a lace woman, you will bear the name of unkindness and unfilial piety, but if you abandon the lace woman, although you have the name of benevolence and filial piety, you will live up to the sincerity of a woman.

Just let down a woman...

The world is always tolerant of men.

Just like when she was infatuated with King Huan, she was bent on marrying him, but from the moment she confessed, she was blinded by shamelessness, and even if she finally ascended the throne of the queen, she was still looked down upon.

And he, using himself and the Zhong family, finally got the title of a generation of Ming Jun.

hehe

Shen Mingze looked at Zhong Jinxiu's face suddenly darkened, his eyes burst out with fierceness, his thin lips pursed lightly, and there was a faint mockery.

What my mother said that day, did it really hurt my cousin so much?

Just as he was about to explain something, he saw his cousin's expression suddenly loosen and said:

"My eldest brother and they're back, cousin, let's go first."

Zhong Jinxiu put some broken silver on the table, and then went downstairs.

Shen Mingze looked at the broken silver trance, which was the proof that Zhong Jinxiu had drawn a line with himself.

"I fell into the river with my second aunt, you can only save one person, who will you save?"

This is a proposition, no matter how you respond, it is a dead end.

Ah Xiang saw his master's irritable appearance, and after looking at the two young masters of the Zhong family and the Zhong family downstairs, he felt that his young master was very bitter.

In the past, when the young master didn't see Miss Zhong, he was planning how to have a chance encounter every day, and it was also very hard, but now he has seen it? It's better not to see it.

"Young Master, I see that Miss Biao understands you in her heart, and I don't want you to be embarrassed...... Although the approach is a bit ruthless, it is also for your good. "It's better for you to give up, don't you let you pick all the ladies in the capital." Recently, the second lady has seen many ladies, and I heard that candidates have been screened out, you are entangled like this, won't it hurt people's hearts in the future? ”

"My mother has already seen each other? How did I not know? Where did you hear that? ”

Ah Xiang rolled his eyes helplessly, when the second lady spoke, you were by your side.

Still pretending not to hear....

"Is my cousin back? Let's go, don't miss out on dinner. ”

Ah Xiang wanted to call the young master, but the eldest young master became more and more frustrated.

As soon as Zhong Jinxiu and his brothers arrived at the door, Shen Mingze followed again.

Zhong Ming Zhong Lang heard about Shen Mingze's prestige in handling things outside, especially the vigorous and resolute methods of dealing with those corrupt officials who took bribes, which made them very addicted.

"Cousin, you can."

"The eldest brother is prestigious, let me wait for admiration."

"Okay, my brother, don't say these flattering words, listen to the annoyance, go, let's go home together."

Zhong Ming, as the boss, treats his younger brother very kindly.

Zhong Lang led Zhong Huai, followed by Zhong Jinxiu and Zhong Jinxin.

Zhong Jinxin looked at her cousin and followed again, she was not deaf, she heard the topic of the two of them just now, so she guessed that it was boring, and secretly asked, "Does your cousin like you?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, it's not like you don't know your aunt's thoughts, we can't do it."

It may not be possible to say otherwise, the point is that your cousin likes you.

Zhong Jinxin said: "No wonder. My cousin either gave you jewelry or played polo with you, but I heard that when you entered the Liang Mansion, my cousin once made a contribution. ”

Zhong Jinxiu frowned slightly.

"But why does my cousin like you? It's so unreasonable. Zhong Jinxin was very depressed, "Are you still concerned about King Huan?" Could it be that you have other thoughts about King Huan? How many times did you excel to get his attention? ”

"Can't you......" Zhong Jinxin looked at the two people walking in front of him, and suddenly his cousin turned around with a gentle smile, which made people's hearts warm.

She thought that her cousin was only thirteen or fourteen years old now, and she was already a fourth-grade inspector, thinking that her second and third uncles were not as good as her cousin after a lifetime.

With such a comparison, I suddenly felt that Shen Mingze was Bai Yueguang, and King Huan was a rotten apple.

"My cousin is many times better than King Nahuan."

If someone else has a good impression of herself, she just laughs back, but that person is a cousin, so she is the first to reject him, not wanting him to waste too much effort on herself.

That's all.

Shen Mingze's whole mind was on the delicate people behind him, and now when he heard them talk about himself, he listened with his ears pricked up.

But the little girl whispered, he couldn't hear it all, only heard King Huan and his cousin......

Isn't it that my cousin still has thoughts about King Huan?

A few people arrived at home, but Zhong Yong had not turned around, a few of them went to visit their grandmother first, and the old lady saw Zhong Jinxin and Zhong Jinxiu appear together, and Jinxin's face was melancholy, I don't know if the two of them were arguing?

The second lady next to her has long wanted to see the jokes of the big house, but the grandfather of the country has entered the palace and has not come back yet, but the eldest son and the second son of the big house are here.

I just don't know if the two sisters are not in harmony, how should they choose as the eldest brother and the second brother?

She smiled and asked, "Jinxin, what's wrong with you?" But your eldest sister bullied you again? ”

This question is a bit provocative.

Zhong Jinxiu was slightly stunned, if it was in the past, she would not let go of any opportunity to rectify Zhong Jinxin, after all, she was her aunt's biological daughter.

And everyone in front of the hall is also watching jokes.

Xiao Shen heard the second lady ask, "Her second aunt, what are you talking about?" Jinxin and Jinxiu are in harmony, how can they be bullied? It's you who are overthinking. ”

Zhong Ming said: "Yes, second aunt, the two younger sisters personally picked up me and my younger brother, which shows that they are very harmonious." You've seen too much. ”

Zhong Lang stared at Zhong Jinxin, wanting to see that she seemed to be really bullied, but saw her head down, unable to see her expression clearly,

But that submissive demeanor seemed to be afraid.

He smiled and asked:

"Sister Jinxin, what do you say?"
