"Really?" Mrs. Xu was skeptical, "Don't let me catch me red-handed!" You have to always remember that when you are in front of Lord Shen, not only is there no name or division, but also Lord Shen is in a high position. Once there is some gossip, it will be just a romantic affair for him, but it will be a disaster for you, and your reputation will be gone1

Xu Qinghe saw the stern appearance of his mother's righteous words, and replied uneasily: "My daughter understands that she will never meet Lord Shen at night. Mother don't worry about me. ”

Su Jingshu hurriedly persuaded softly: "Auntie, Lord Shen is a righteous gentleman with a noble character, and he will not do anything that damages his cousin's reputation." Auntie don't have to worry. ”

Mrs. Xu's expression softened and said, "I'm just giving you a wake-up call, so that you don't have a hot head and go to him." ”

Xu Qinghe hurriedly responded: "No." I never look for him when I have nothing to do. ”

At this time, the maids came in with their meals, placed them on the round table, and said respectfully, "Please dine with Miss Table." ”

Mrs. Xu stood up and said softly to her daughter, "Hurry up and go to dinner." In the morning, he accompanied Jingshu in this room, and he was not allowed to go anywhere. ”

Xu Qinghe got up and walked to the round table and responded: "According to what my mother said, I promise to stay in the room all morning to accompany Jingshu." Anyway, there's a brother-in-law in the front yard to entertain—"

Su Jingshu smiled slightly and didn't say much.

Mrs. Xu stepped forward and asked the maid, "Is there anyone in front of you to offer condolences?" ”

The maid bowed down and replied, "Lord Shen is mourning the master. ”

He actually came1 Mrs. Xu was puzzled, glanced at her daughter, and said, "You are honestly accompanying Jingshu here, and I will go to the front yard to have a look." ”

"Yes, Mother." Xu Qinghe immediately responded, anyway, he didn't want to see him for a while.

Seeing that her daughter was so neat, Mrs. Xu couldn't continue to count, turned around and walked out of the bedroom and walked to the front yard.

Xu Qinghe picked up the chopsticks and saw that the maid was still waiting aside, so he said, "You go down first, and then you will come to collect the dishes." ”

The maids hurriedly answered yes and bowed out.

Xu Qinghe put down his chopsticks, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, blew the hot air, and drank it in two or three sips to moisten his throat. Then I picked up the wooden chopsticks again, put a piece of lettuce in a bowl, took a bite with the rice, chewed it, and swallowed it with difficulty.

Su Jingshu leaned on the head of the bed, stretched out her hand to raise the curtain of the bed, looked at her cousin's difficulty swallowing, and said with concern: "If my cousin can't eat, let someone bring some porridge and water." ”

"It doesn't matter. I told Ah Yao last night that porridge and water are not enough to satisfy hunger. Xu Qinghe replied to her.

Su Jingshu withdrew her hand, and the bed curtain fell a little, blocking the woman's dining figure. "If my aunt sees my cousin like this, I'm afraid she will feel distressed again."

Xu Qinghe swallowed a mouthful of food, and Fang said, "Don't worry, cousin, my appetite is much better now." A few days ago, I was sad and didn't have the heart to use it. Yesterday, my mother reprimanded me harshly, and now I can eat normally. ”

Su Jingshu sighed, looked at the top of the tent in a daze, and whispered: "My child, it would be nice if I came earlier......

"What did my cousin say?" Xu Qinghe didn't hear clearly, so he asked out loud.

Su Jingshu replied after half a sound, "It's nothing, I'm thinking about the name my father took." ”

Xu Qinghe became interested and asked her, "What name did my uncle give the baby?" Tell me 1

"Youyi." Su Jingshu replied, "Father said that if it is a girl, it will be called Youyi." If it's a boy, let the husband caries himself."

Xu Qinghe pondered for a while and praised: "Good name!" Uncle is worthy of being a university scholar, and the names he chooses are more melodious than the other. ”

Su Jingshu smiled slightly, and responded: "Father took it, it is naturally pleasing to the ear." ”

Xu Qinghe used half a bowl of rice, and he was a little bloated, so he had to put down his chopsticks and stop using them. took the cloth towel on the side, wiped the corners of his lips, walked to the bed and sat down, and suggested, "Cousin, how about I come to read to you?" ”

Su Jingshu was puzzled: "What are you doing all of a sudden?" ”

"My uncle told me about this before." Xu Qinghe said, "When my aunt was pregnant with you, my uncle would read to my aunt's stomach every once in a while, from the subset of classics and history to the idle literature and Yizhi, not a single one. So after you were born, you had a docile and demure temper, not as noisy as Ah Jin. ”

Su Jingshu looked at her suspiciously, "Why don't I know these things?" I don't know what my father said to you. ”

Xu Qinghe smiled slightly and replied, "I didn't tell you before, my uncle prefers me, and my mother prefers you." It's normal that I know more interesting things. ”

Su Jingshu smiled helplessly, but said: "Since this is the case, then I will read it later." Read it to me now, and in a moment I'll fall asleep. Then you can be relieved and run out to find your Lord Shen-"

When Xu Qinghe heard this, he hurriedly complained: "What nonsense is my cousin! I am sincere and I am told by you as if you have ulterior motives. Mother taught me to be here with you all morning, and I will be here with you, and I will never run away halfway. ”

"Good! If you want me to believe in my cousin's sincerity," Su Jingshu looked at her and said slowly, "Then my cousin will tell me the truth1

Xu Qinghe was puzzled, "What truth?" ”

She was so sincere that her cousin didn't believe it......

"Did my cousin see Lord Shen last night?" Su Jingshu stared at her and said word by word: "Don't deceive me1."

Xu Qinghe was stunned when he heard this, turned his head away in embarrassment, and silently looked at the texture on the bed tent beside him.

Seeing this, Su Jingshu knew in her heart, and asked on her face, "Why didn't my cousin say anything?" This is not a difficult question to answer. Seen, or unseen. Only these two cases ......"

"Enough! Cousin, don't ask knowingly. Xu Qinghe snorted embarrassedly, turned around and glanced at his cousin.

Su Jingshu smiled slightly and said comfortingly: "Auntie is not here." My cousin told me the truth. ”

Xu Qinghe repeatedly grabbed the quilt with both hands, and said in a low voice: "He told me last night that as soon as the mourning period is over, he will choose a day to come to the door to propose marriage." ”

"Really?" Su Jingshu was overjoyed when she heard this, and when she saw her cousin's expression, she couldn't help but ask her, "Cousin doesn't seem to be very happy?" But is there something unspeakable in my heart? ”

Xu Qinghe sighed wistfully and replied, "There is nothing unspeakable. It just feels unreal, even unrealistic......"

Su Jingshu frowned and was silent, and after a while, she persuaded: "Cousin, maybe you are too careful." Since Lord Shen told you about the proposal, he must have considered it carefully. You don't have to be so confused—"

Xu Qinghe looked at his cousin and said, "I haven't known him for more than a month. Now when it comes to family affairs, there is always a feeling of falling into a dream, illusory, and not very real. ”

Su Jingshu listened to these words and comforted: "I empathize with what my cousin said. When my husband told me about proposing marriage, I didn't believe it. But now, I am happy with my husband. Therefore, take care of your worries and wait for Lord Shen to come to the door with peace of mind. ”

Xu Qinghe replied "um" and sat there thoughtfully.
