Chapter 164: The Beginning of the Osmanthus Flower in San'in (8)
"Wear this." Xia Shu took out the red fish necklace and put it on Chen Zhongzhi, "Ten million, you are not allowed to take it off." ā
"What is this?"
"Good stuff."
Chen Zhongzhi looked at Xia Shu with an unnatural expression, "You... Aren't you afraid of me? ā
"I'm afraid." Xia Shu nodded.
Chen Zhongzhi's expression was lost, and he lowered his head.
"I'm afraid your wish will not come true." That's the truth.
Chen Zhongzhi raised his head suddenly, looked into Xia Shu's deep eyes, looked away in a panic for a moment, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Do you know what my wish is?"
"Of course." Xia Shu stared at Chen Zhongzhi and smiled, "Do you think you can hide that little thing from your family?" ā
Chen Zhongzhi's heart tightened, and he hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean to hide it, but... I just..."
"I know." Xia Shu got dressed, turned around and patted Chen Zhongzhi's head, hooked his lips and said coldly, "Don't worry, those who dare to touch me, I will make them pay." ā
After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room.
Chen Zhong's heart jumped, staring at Xia Shu's back in a daze, and he didn't come back to his senses until he couldn't see it, his heartbeat accelerated inexplicably, and the "dong dong" rang non-stop.
Chen Zhongzhi secretly scolded himself for being useless, he was actually bluffed by a little girl, and turned over and got up numbly.
When Xia Shu returned to the room, he saw Cuizhu standing at the door, Cuizhu saw Xia Shu coming out of Chen Zhongzhi's room, his face was entangled, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.
Xia Shu only glanced at it, and then ignored it.
I want to see what kind of cow ghost and snake god you are.
On the second night, as soon as Xia Shu touched Chen Zhongzhi's bed, he sat up in shock, it should be said that he didn't fall asleep at all.
But Xia Shu couldn't refuse to hug him and lie down, "Don't let me stop you, do you still want to go out to wander the soul?" ā
"But..."Chen Zhongzhi's face was full of confusion, "like this... If it is spread out, it will damage the reputation of the county lord. ā
"So if I can't get married, you'll have to be responsible."
Chen Zhongyi was even more embarrassed to hear it, he was just a clan, struggling to get up, "Or the county lord will still tie me up..."
Xia Shu couldn't help but stop his mouth, stretched out his tongue and licked it, hooked his lips and said, "Okay, now that you take advantage of me, do you still want to admit it." ā
āļ¼?ā Chen Zhongzhi's face turned red, red to the root of his ears, his eyes flashed left and right, but he didn't dare to read Xia Shu.
Xia Shu bent the corners of his mouth, pressed his head into her neck, and touched his big head, "Sleep in peace, I will take care of everything." ā
Chen Zhongzhi was dizzy and staring, his heart was beating and puffing, and this warmth made him inexplicably feel a little relieved.
......
Since Sima Yu returned to his home, Sima Mansion has also become lively, officials of all sizes have been visiting, and even the Wang family and the Xie family have handed over posts to invite the two ladies to tea.
Xia Shu is no exception, he has already received a lot of all kinds of tea party poetry party and drinking party posts, and these young ladies of the family are really idle and have nothing to do.
Chen Zhongzhi also began to be bolder, wandering around the house from time to time, trying to catch up with a certain "adult" who came in and out.
Xia Shu didn't restrict him, gave him a token, and asked Shiyun to follow him.
Although you can not participate in those messy literary and poetry meetings, there is one meeting that you can't refuse, that is, the Hundred Flowers Banquet hosted by the Queen Mother in the palace.
Even Sima Yu sent someone to inform him, so that Xia Shu was ready to go together.
But there's still more than half a month.
......
The backyard of Sima Mansion is next to the backyard of Yin Mansion, and it is over a wall.
Xia Shu had already set his sights on a dense tree in the backyard of the Yin Mansion, which was very suitable for squatting and painting, and Xia Shu was polite to the Yin family.
Xiaoqi: "Host, you're really welcome~"
The drawing paper in the hands of the Xia Shutuan Bar Bar was stuffed into the tree hole.
Well, not only is the location perfect, but there is also a tree hole, which couldn't be more satisfying.
Xiao Qi: "The host is a treetop cave man." ā
ā......ā
"Big brother, don't stop me! I have to settle accounts with him. An angry female voice came.
"Third sister, don't be impulsive, what can you say to him about this." A friendly voice dissuaded.
Xia Shu turned his head and took a look, in a side courtyard of Yin Mansion, three figures were pulling in the courtyard, two men and one woman, who looked about twenty or thirty years old.
"What's the reason?" The female voice was even more angry, "No matter what reason he says, he can't say that his father has been inferior to him since he was a child, that is his uncle, his elder!" ā
"Third sister, what the eldest brother said is right, what can you say about this, is it possible to say that he slandered his father? But my father's talk is really not as good as his. Another male voice joined in to dissuade him.
"Second brother, you still say!" The woman glared angrily, "Qing Tan Qing Tan, Qing Tan can govern the country!?" Father's talent is obviously higher than him, and you were also present at the time, how can you tolerate him to lose his father's face like this! ā
"I... Iā" The man was speechless.
"Hmph, this Yin Hao is really despicable." The woman gritted her teeth and snorted coldly, "I've been so cunning since I was a child, relying on my father's bad words, so I said everywhere that my father was not as good as him." ā
"Father doesn't argue, don't you know how to argue?" The woman hates iron but not steel, "I hate that I'm just a woman, otherwise, how can he be rampant." ā
"Hey." The eldest brother sighed helplessly, "Third sister, my father also said that he is one with our Yin family, and we can only be good if he is good." Moreover... You also know that my second brother and I are now preparing to enter the court as officials, where do you dare to offend him. ā
"That's right, third sister, now we rely on him."
"Fart, who rarely depends on him! He's a fame-seeking hypocrite. The woman was already angry, "If you don't go to me, don't stop me." ā
The woman angrily pushed the two away and walked away quickly.
"Second brother, you shouldn't tell her." The man's voice is reproachful.
"Big brother, what's the use of talking about this now, chase it quickly, at least let my cousin know, this matter has nothing to do with us." After speaking, the two of them hurriedly left.
Tsk, it seems that this Yin Hao's back house is not very peaceful.
Xia Shu continued to paint.
Soon, the time for the palace banquet came.
Early in the morning, the carriage was waiting at the gate of the house.
Xia Shu directly took Chen Zhongzhi into the carriage, and Sima Yu didn't say anything when he saw this.
The carriage went to the gate of the palace, changed to a sedan chair, Xia Shu asked people to prepare one for Chen Zhongzhi, although the palace people were a little surprised, but there were also many ministers with their families, and the small sedan chair was well prepared.
All the way to the gate of the Imperial Garden Palace.
Sima Yu also had to go to the study to discuss matters, and instructed Xia Shu to play in the imperial garden first.
Originally, the normal procedure, Xia Shu at least had to visit the Queen Mother, after all, the Queen Mother was the second aunt of the original owner.
But as the regent of the queen mother, the queen mother also has to discuss matters together in the study, so this effort is exempted.
One of the biggest features of the Imperial Garden is that it is large, and the eunuch who led the way pointed out the location of the main venue to Xia Shu, and then stepped back to let Xia Shu move freely.
It was still early, and some young ladies were active in the garden.
Xia Shu wandered around and prepared to find a quiet place to paint.
