The carriage gradually approached the pond, and a light rain suddenly floated in the air, it was really a murderous night with a high moon and a dark wind, and when it rained on a cloudy day, several masters of the Shen family exchanged glances with each other, and invariably showed a knowing smile.

They parked the carriage outside the forest, no longer bothered to maintain the dignity of their elders, pushed Shen Yiyi, and took her to the pond.

Shen Yi staggered and barely stood firm, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw the little pepper. She was dragged by a strong man, with a knife around her neck, a big tie on her body, and a rag in her mouth, unable to move or scream.

Despite this, she still winked desperately at Shen Yiyi, signaling her to run quickly and leave her alone.

Shen Yiyi looked at the knife on her neck and said to Second Master Shen, "Release people." ”

"Release? Okay! It was Master Shen Wu who answered her, "Tie yourself to a stone, jump into the pond, and we will release you immediately." ”

As the fifth master Shen's voice landed, the fourth master Shen moved the stone, and the second master Shen took out the hemp rope.

Shen Yiyi smiled: "It turns out that you didn't plan to take me back to Wuchang Mansion. ”

"Back to Wuchang Mansion? What about dreaming? Fifth Master Shen grabbed the hemp rope as a whip and whipped her a few times, "You have caused a few cousins to not be able to marry, and you can't let me relieve my hatred when you die, I will let you go back to Wuchang Mansion in a good manner?!" ”

Shen Yiyi subconsciously wanted to hide, but after looking at the knife on Xiao Pepper's neck, he still stood firmly and took a few whips from Shen Wu.

She was afraid that if she hid, Little Pepper would be stabbed, how could she be willing to let this chattering girl see blood.

When Little Pepper saw her being whipped, cold sweat broke out on her head, and she was anxious and remorseful, and tears welled up. Why was she so careless, as soon as she heard that the young lady had an accident, she raised her foot and left with someone? She should have sent someone back to the house first!

Fifth Master Shen whipped Shen Yiyi a few times, relieved his hatred, and said, "You tie the stone yourself, jump into the pond, and we will put the little pepper." ”

Shen Yiyi didn't say a word, took the stone and tied it to himself.

Little Pepper was so anxious that she screamed and struggled desperately, but the strong man clung to the rope on her body, and she struggled for a long time in vain.

Shen Yiyi tied the stone, and let Shen Wu Wei tie her hands back. She struggled to the edge of the pond, took one last look at Little Pepper, and jumped into the water.

Miss!! Little Pepper whimpered silently, tears blurring her vision.

"Tsk, it's really like a sister, a sisterhood!" Master Shen Wu shook his head with a sigh, and made a gesture to the strong man who was holding the little pepper, "Throw her into the pond too!" ”

The strong man immediately picked up the pepper and threw her into the water.

There was a pop, and the water splashed, and in an instant it returned to a dead black calm, as if nothing had happened.

Master Shen Wu laughed: "If you don't pull a few stupid, I thought that if she jumped into the pond, we would let go of Little Pepper!" ”

Fourth Master Shen smiled implicitly: "I thought that she was now in the city and the city has become deeper, but it turned out to be the same as before." ”

"It's more emotional than before, and I will jump into the pond for a maid." Second Master Shen was a little emotional, stroked his beard and said, "Let's go, go back to Wuchang Mansion, it's time to report the funeral to the eldest brother." ”

--------------------

It was dark and rainy, the wind knocked on the window, and Hu Shu stayed awake late at night, sitting alone in a daze.

Suddenly, a post house official came to report: "My lord, Miss Hu and Miss Cai are here." ”

Hu Shu had not yet come out of his thoughts, and looked up in a daze.

The little official misunderstood what he meant, turned around and led Hu Ying and Cai Zhen in.

Only then did Hu Shu know that it was his cousin and Cai Li's sister who came.

Aren't they in the capital, what are they doing in Hangzhou? Hu Shu frowned, and directly bombarded people: "Night is not the time to entertain guests, even if there is a big event, please go back first, and talk about it tomorrow at dawn." ”

Hu Ying knew that her cousin was old-fashioned, so she didn't dare to force it, so she pulled Cai Zhen and was about to leave.

Cai Zhen found the stove in the room at a glance, as well as the long-handled silver spoon and small silver sieve on the table, her eyes lit up, and she asked, "Brother Ziyuan, are you cooking?" ”

Hu Shu frowned: "Miss Cai San, although our two families are world friends, but now that we are both older, your title is not appropriate." ”

Hu Ying came by relying on Cai Zhen, for fear that Cai Zhen would be unhappy, so he hurriedly said: "Cousin, who will find fault with this title, why should you be serious!" ”

Hu Shu was silent, but his brows were always furrowed.

Cai Zhen had to change his words: "Hu Shizi, it turns out that you can also cook." ”

Hu Shu replied to her at this time: "I have nothing to do as a pastime." ”

Cai Zhen stepped forward and picked up a long-handled silver spoon, only to find that there was a bucket of rice milk next to the stove, she thought for a while, pursed her lips and smiled: "Let me guess what Hu Shizi is doing, if I guess wrong, I will turn around and leave, if I guess correctly, Hu Shizi will reward me with a cup of tea, okay?" ”

After she finished speaking, without waiting for Hu Shu to answer, she took a spoon in one hand and a sieve in the other, scooped up the rice milk, and leaked into the boiling water on the stove.

Hu Shu glanced at it and looked away. Hu Ying stood close to him, as if she heard a sigh, and couldn't help but look at him in surprise, thinking that there was something wrong with her ears.

Cai Zhen scooped up the solidified rice milk in the pot, added salt and vinegar and other seasonings, held it in front of Hu Shu, and asked with a smile: "Hu Shizi, am I right?" ”

Hu Shu looked at the bowl in her hand, didn't answer, and didn't answer. Hu Ying seemed to hear a sigh again, her eyes widened, and she looked at him.

Songyan felt that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, and hurriedly said, "Miss Cai San, this is rice tofu." ”

"Rice tofu? Is it the food that Hu Shizi figured out? Even Songyan felt embarrassed by the scene, but the smile on Cai Zhen's face did not diminish at all, and her hand was stubbornly stretched forward, as if as long as Hu Shu didn't take the bowl, she would stand here until she was old.

Hu Ying's attention immediately shifted from Hu Shu to Cai Zhen, and said secretly, no wonder everyone knows that the third lady of the General's Mansion is a character, if this matter were to be replaced by her, she would have been ashamed to drill into the ground, and she could be like a nobody.

Xu felt Cai Zhen's stubbornness, and Hu Shu finally opened his mouth: "I don't eat, Miss Cai San bothered." ”

Songyan instantly felt that the atmosphere was embarrassing again, and hurriedly spoke out again: "Miss Cai San, you know, our son doesn't eat outside things. ”

Alas, is it easy to be a servant for the prince? His temperament is straightforward, if it weren't for his involvement, I don't know how many people he would have offended!

Cai Zhen was still holding the bowl and smiled slightly: "But, this is not something outside, the kitchenware and ingredients are all Hu Shizi, aren't they?" ”

It seems like...... That's the case, Songyan had no words, so he had to glance at Hu Shu.

Hu Shu put his hands behind his back, and his expression was a little impatient: "If you don't eat, how can a gentleman be greedy for appetite." ”

He is a person who rarely loses his temper, and such an expression means that he is angry.
