Chapter 248: Affection
"Cheating?" Cherry raised her eyebrows and stepped forward to grab Yang Xuan's hand: "What's the matter?" ”
"Let's talk as we go." Cotton Peach took over. While the sisters were walking towards home, they told everything that happened in Peng's house.
Peng Yu'an is still locked up, but it is not as strict as before, except for the ban on his expenses and hiking, he can still move freely in the house. As soon as the star fruit and cotton peach entered the house, they met Peng Yu'an, and the three of them were going to see the old lady together, but when they came to the old lady, they broke up Peng Yu'an.
Mian Tao said that at that time, she felt that the situation was not right.
As a result, she guessed correctly, the old lady was polite to the two, but she didn't admit the two thousand taels, as if it had never happened, as if the star fruit sisters were in a hurry to marry and bribe with money.
The angry star fruit didn't come out of Peng's mansion until she came out, her face was still depressed, and she never liked to say bad things about people behind her back, and she also made an exception to complain. You know, how did the money come together, the fourth didn't even want his life, and took the risk to get a thousand taels to avoid being forced to make it up, but the old lady vetoed it in a word.
It's still a big family, so it's not a word to talk like this. But what if you don't talk anymore? At that time, there was no evidence for this matter, it was simply a message from the housekeeper, and now if it is theoretical, outsiders who don't know will only think that it is the Yue family's native chicken that wants to fly on the phoenix branch and make a fuss.
"What are you scared of, we're not aiming for his family's wealth." Star fruit said all the way, but it was still difficult to dispel the anger: "Obviously, I have let go, but now I don't recognize it, this is not clear that we can't afford to make up money, and use this to dispel our thoughts?" Now that I've put it together, I don't recognize it again. Hmph, if it weren't for Yu'an's temperament being as compatible as Mi'er, he would be able to tolerate her and wrap her, and Mi'er would be willing to do this, just by virtue of his identity as the eldest young master of the Peng family, I still don't agree with this!! ”
"Even if it's an ordinary Zhuang marrying man, we don't like it." Cotton Peach also chimed in.
"It's infuriating!!" Cherry punched the void with her fist, and she was so angry: "How can her family be like this? If I had been there, I would have had a lot of trouble!! "She knows best where the money came from. For this matter, Zhou Mingyuan was brought to the family, but now the Peng family is ...... That old fox!! If you look at it this way, the matter between the second sister and Peng Yu'an is really difficult.
"What's the fuss? If it's really troublesome, then this matter will be completely yellow. Mian Tao can still be calmer: "The loss is that when we entered the mansion, we met Brother Peng, and he knew that we had already collected two thousand taels." Now the old lady retorted, we can't control this matter, Peng Yu'an may be able to manage it. Let him take care of this matter. We've done our best, and it's time for him to take care of it. ”
"The second child's life is really ......" Carambola sighed lowly, and seemed to want to mention her father, but was quickly interrupted by Mian Tao: "It's useless to mention these now." Eldest sister, the fourth child, you can't say anything in front of Er Tao when you go home about this matter, just say that it is smooth. Otherwise, her temper will have to get up. ”
"Hmm." Cherry nodded, secretly thinking in her heart what to think of about this matter.
The three sisters spoke and returned to Xiaomiao Village.
It was nearly noon, and the houses had already lit the stove smoke.
Mi Tao went to the wine inn, walnuts were eaten in the school at noon, and there were only two big men left in the family, Zhou Mingyuan and Miao Chengye. Xu was extremely hungry, Miao Chengye was eating a white-flour steamed bun left over from the morning, while Zhou Mingyuan was holding a few dried sweet potatoes and chewing hard. Seeing the sisters coming back, the two happily hurried out.
"Why did you come back? What's going on? Miao Chengye looked at the star fruit and said distressedly: "You're hungry too, aren't you?" I'll just say that this time we will go back and forth in a carriage, and you will not listen. ”
"This is also a carriage, that is also a carriage, can our carriage be rented yet?" Carambola waved her hand: "I'm not hungry yet." You and Zhou Gongzi should be hungry, right? Look, it's all eaten. As he spoke, he looked back at the cotton peach, paused, and turned to the cherry again: "Sakura, you hurry up and cook first." I'll talk to your brother-in-law about it in the first room. ”
"Hey." Cherry answered the call and went into the kitchen.
Mian Tao followed star fruit and Miao Chengye into the hall.
Zhou Mingyuan chewed on the dried sweet potatoes, and walked to the cherries who were squatting next to the basin to wash their hands with interest: "You ...... Can also cook? ”
"The peasant family, it's not better than you young masters, why not? If not, won't you starve to death in the future? Cherry glared at him, she now found that Zhou Mingyuan's temper in this small courtyard was still quite good, and she became more and more bold. Originally, he didn't have the identity of a prince here, but an ordinary young master in distress.
"That's great. If you want to go back with me, and I will add two thousand taels of silver? Zhou Mingyuan bent his eyes.
Cherry raised her head and smiled: "I heard that hiring a top chef is only a few dozen taels of silver a month, and Master Zhou is really willing to spend the money!" She really didn't know what he was trying to coax herself to do in such a way to go back. If there is still a grievance, why don't you just tie her up?
"If you don't want to, forget it." Zhou Mingyuan still bent his eyes and smiled, and the sweet potato in his mouth was chewing dryly: "I also want to stay here for two more days." But this still counts, when you use the money, when we go. ”
"There's no place to spend that much money now." Cherry looked dark, stood up, and shook her hand. The only thing that can be used is the second sister's marriage, and now that this thing has changed, I don't know what to do.
"How?" Zhou Mingyuan saw some clues, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "You came back with your two sisters, but what happened to your second sister?" ”
"The Peng family doesn't admit it." Cherry sighed lightly, turned around and went into the kitchen to bring out a pot of vegetables, and picked it up quickly: "You must not show the stuffing in front of my second sister about this, we are going to hide it from her." ”
"Don't admit it?" Zhou Mingyuan's eyebrows raised again: "But you don't admit that there have been two thousand taels of silver?" ”
"Yes."
"How many big families are there in our town?"
"Just one household. What does this do, you ask? ”
"Nothing to do......" Zhou Mingyuan lowered his eyelashes, his eyes flickering.
Cherry didn't pay much attention to it, and after picking the vegetables, he fetched water to wash them.
Zhou Mingyuan kept the pestle on the side: "In this way, you can ...... anything"
"yes, are you going to add money again?" Cherry deliberately looked up with a smile: "How much do you want to add this time?" Five thousand taels? What happened to your family's money falling from the sky? As he spoke, he suddenly thought of his money source, and couldn't help but say, "Your business is not a good place to come from." It is better to end it early, so as not to harm the people. ”
"You see? It is worthy of Yixi, and he is very smart ......" The light smile on Zhou Mingyuan's face stiffened suddenly, his eyebrows furrowed, he approached the cherry and sniffed it vigorously, and his face sank: "The fragrance on your body ......"
"What does it smell like?" The cherry washed the vegetables vigorously, and the sound of the water was so loud that I couldn't hear it clearly.
Zhou Mingyuan didn't answer her, twisted his eyebrows and thought carefully for a while, his eyes lit up: "This is the smell of that person!" ”
"Who? What does it smell like? Cherry heard it clearly this time.
"What are you going to see today...... Sun Qingzhu? Zhou Mingyuan's face turned completely dark. Thinking like a child in her heart, she actually took the snacks she bought for him to eat for that Sun Qingzhu? Does he dare to eat it?
"What?" Only then did Cherry understand what Zhou Mingyuan was talking about, and he was a little surprised that he could even guess this: "How do you know?" ”
Zhou Mingyuan said to the cherry: "You have the kind of fragrance on his body." Did you go to see him in the morning? The snacks were also eaten for him? Did you tell him to eat it? ”
"yes," Cherry nodded generously, "What's the matter with you?" Eat and drink for nothing in my house, and I haven't asked you for money, so I take away a little bit of your heart, and I am stingy like this? That's why my third sister bought it. Besides, it didn't say it was for you. ”
"You ......" Zhou Mingyuan glared, he didn't care about thousands of taels of silver, she actually cared about eating and drinking......
"I don't believe it, the dim sum in this small workshop can be better than the craftsmanship of those chefs in your family? If you really want to eat that bite, why do you bother to leave the palace? Besides, the great prince is not here, now is a good opportunity for you to behave in front of the palace, why are you ......" Cherry shook her head as she said: "I really don't know why." But you don't like to talk, and I don't ask. ”
"I ......" Zhou Mingyuan was a little stunned by what Cherry said. Yes, what is he doing this for? With a good chance to behave in front of his father, why did he come here? Why bother, why bother?
His eyes fell on the cherry who was busy chopping vegetables, he really just wanted to ask this little girl to go back and make him that little dessert to eat? Just for a small dessert, he gave up the life of brocade clothes and the opportunity to perform, and came here, and he had to take a few thousand taels of silver as bait? Are you sure? Is he really so fond of eating that little dessert that he has never been a big eater?
No, it's not. He had another answer in his mind, but he kept avoiding it and didn't want to see it clearly.
So, is it time to see clearly?
Do you want it?
Zhou Mingyuan tightened his eyebrows, and he couldn't help but exert force in his hands, and the dried sweet potatoes were pinched into sweet potato residue.
Why was he always happy when he saw the cherry, why was he so reluctant to let go when he held that soft little hand that night, why did she go to see another man, his heart was so angry, and when he thought that the man had eaten a small snack that belonged to him, he ...... I even had the idea of running and snatching it back......
Yes, he loves cherries in his heart.
It's not any kind of liking, it's the kind of affection between men and women. Yes, he, Zhou Mingyuan, finally got the hang of it, and finally knew what it was like to feel emotional.
