Chapter 263: Mind
The girl had a faint aroma, different from the greasy smell of roast chicken, and in the cool morning, it invaded his senses one by one, making him have a moment of trance.
He tightened the pen in his hand, wondering if the ridiculous dream of the previous night had something to do with her sleeping next door.
Even though he had already made a marriage contract, after all, he was young, and the shame mixed with his heart made his reaction more wooden than usual.
This kind of uncomfortable woodenness fell in Cheng Jin's eyes, and it became a manifestation of deliberate coldness.
"Am I arguing with you?" She finished eating most of the roast chicken before she reacted, and he always only had a few single-byte responses of "um", "hmm" and "good" to her chatter, even if he was sluggish, he could detect his coldness at this moment.
"Hmm." He replied absentmindedly again.
This was a little embarrassing, and she got up curtly, "Then you are busy, I won't quarrel with you." β
"Wait a minute," he reacted, and quickly tugged at her sleeve, and his warm fingertips happened to touch her slightly cool wrist, but he shrank back in a panic as if he was burned by fire.
Cheng Jin looked at him inexplicably and felt funny, "Are you treating me as a plague god?" β
"No," he sighed lowly, although she had Zhao Hua's memory, but after all, she was not Zhao Hua, she was still a teenage girl, her love was not opened, and she was frank and open, even if the two of them were alone, they were not half uncomfortable.
"I was thinking about things and was distracted, it wasn't you who were arguing with me," he gently apologized, "I'm sorry." β
is really a gentleman, Cheng Jin looked at his handsome appearance, and was also a little distracted, thinking of the young immortal in his dream who couldn't see his face clearly, although both of them were kaolin grass that did not eat fireworks in the world, but compared to the scoundrel of the young immortal, she still admired Wen Shao'an more for this kind of gentleman.
"Then, I'll go to Dali Temple to see the red silk ...... first" The two looked at each other silently for a while, and she finally began to feel uncomfortable.
"Dali Temple has not yet opened at this hour, let's go with you in a while." He stood up and helped her clean up the leftover roast chicken, "I'm afraid I can't delay the trip for too long." β
"Traveling?" Cheng Jin glanced at him suspiciously, "Didn't you go?" β
"As the superintendent of the imperial history, I was ordered by the emperor to go south to investigate the case, and I happened to be with you."
"No wonder." She touched her nose, since he would have responded to this matter in the first place, he must have a plan in his heart, that is, he didn't need to go with his husband's identity, and he could think of other reasons, "You're not afraid of going with me and being attacked?" β
"Naturally, I'm afraid, I was going to take you with me as a gentleman, but Song Saijiu didn't agree......" He looked helpless, Guozijian's Song sacrificial wine was sometimes really stubborn and terrible, for the sake of Cheng Jin and Cheng Xuan, Song Saijiu had already held back a belly of fire, Wen Shao'an pretended to be a public servant and wanted to travel with his fiancΓ©e, in his opinion, it was simply ridiculous, and it was not only Cheng Jin's reputation that was bad, but also Wen Shaoan's reputation.
He attaches great importance to Wen Shao'an's talent, Wen Shao'an is married to Cheng Jin, he already disagrees with it, and now he is even more dizzy, if he wants to take the United States south regardless of it, how can he endure it, so he bites it and does not let go.
Wen Shaoan had no choice but to find another way, and found a reason to supervise the imperial history and went south with them, although this matter did not alarm anyone now, but once it spread, I am afraid that it will also suffer from criticism.
Cheng Jin tilted his head to look at him, "If you are not in a hurry to marry me, you will not be convinced, I have always felt strange, you and I are still young, why are you in such a hurry to make a marriage?" You've said you wouldn't have thought about it so sooner. β
"Do you regret it?" He jerked his head up at her.
Cheng Jin was stunned for a moment, and at that moment there was a fierce light in his always gentle eyes, which suddenly made her feel a little strange, but the fierce light quickly flashed, and he returned to his previous gentleness, "You and I are close, it will be detrimental to your reputation, and it is cheaper to make a relationship, not to mention that the Empress Dowager Cheng is still angry with the emperor for you to enter the palace, the emperor has always been filial, I am worried that he will not be able to resist the queen mother in the end, you are married, and the Empress Dowager Cheng can also die." β
Cheng Jin settled down, feeling that he must have just misunderstood, how could the gentle and dignified Wen Shao'an show such a devastating fierce light, but she is not a fool after all, she is not so easy to be deceived by his unchanging nonsense, "My reputation is worse than my eldest sister's, the queen mother takes a fancy to my eldest sister, where would she be obsessed with letting me enter the palace, if she is really stubborn, I am afraid that she will also go to my eldest sister." β
His reasoning simply doesn't hold water.
He was silent, "Your appearance is better than your eldest sister." β
In order to tie her son's heart, Empress Dowager Cheng must be looking for a beauty to enter the palace, and it would be good to leave this kind of thing to the queen to do.
Cheng Jin grinned, which girl's family doesn't like men to praise her appearance, even she is no exception, but the object of comparison is Cheng Zhan, and she really can't say anything proud, so she has to say dryly, "Hehe, I didn't expect that Lord Wen also valued skin so much." β
The implication is that I didn't expect you Wen Shaoan to be a womanizer and a well-dressed beast.
"Everyone has a love for beauty." At this time, he was calm, "What's more, I already like you, in my eyes, you are the first beauty in this world." β
This time, she really wanted to suppress the curvature of the corners of her lips, but no matter how she pressed them, the corners of her lips still involuntarily rose slightly.
Vain, vanity, I didn't expect her to be such a vain woman, Cheng Jin spit on himself in his heart because he was lost in three or two words, and he couldn't help but flow honey from his heart.
The two were silent, but they were also a little impetuous.
He was anxious that her love had not yet opened, and he was afraid that there was not much love between men and women, and her heart was also chaotic, maybe his words were too sweet, maybe it was affected by the strange dream last night, maybe it was the strange entanglement between the two in the previous life, maybe it was because the personal maid Hongxuan was seriously injured at the moment......
She has all the thoughts in her head, but she can't understand anything, and she always feels that there is something in her heart, and she can't go up or down.
The candle flame on the table "crackled" and woke up the silent two.
Wen Shao'an stared at the handwriting on the desktop, took the lead in coming back to his senses, coughed lightly unnaturally, and said, "Zhu Gongzi is the elder of the eighteen veins, and Zhu Yaji is also the deepest stronghold of Nanban in the capital, and now this point has been abolished, whether it is for Nanban or King Qi, it will be a big injury to the vitality, and there should be no big waves in the short term, and there is no worry about going south this time." β
