Chapter 246: Rubbing Oil
Before dark, Mian Tao invited star fruit and Miao Chengye back.
The two of them came in a horse-drawn carriage, which saved a little time than walking, and Mi Tao had just prepared dinner.
The situation has been described to the star fruit, the young master of the Zhou family, the talent and appearance, chased cherries all the way here, and wanted to stay here for a few days for her, infatuated.
What star fruit cares about most is the marriage of several younger sisters. Listening to what Mian Tao said, I couldn't help but be anxious. As soon as the carriage stopped, she hurriedly got out of the car, and as soon as she got out of the car, she hurriedly entered the courtyard to see what the 'young master of the Zhou family' looked like.
Mian Tao carried the vegetables and meat brought back from the town into the kitchen, ready to serve the guests for the next few days.
Miao Chengye bolted the carriage and also entered the courtyard.
In the evening, the family gathers around a small table and eats lively.
"Young Master Zhou, how many brothers do you have in your family?" While eating, star fruit inquired.
"There is a brother and a sister." Zhou Mingyuan replied comfortably while eating.
"Young Master Zhou ...... this year Twenty? Star fruit looked at it, guessing.
"Twenty-two." Zhou Mingyuan replied with a gentle smile.
"Oh, it's a little big...... "Star fruit murmured, looking down a little disappointed.
"Sister, eat yours!!" Cherry clip a chopstick dish and stuff it into the star fruit bowl, this eldest sister really can't hold it back, as soon as she gets to such a thing, it's like beating chicken blood. The inquiry was so obvious, as if she was afraid that she would not be able to get married.
"What are you doing? Don't you allow the eldest sister to talk to Mr. Zhou about a few words? Star fruit glared at the cherry.
Cherry rolled her eyes and twisted her face away in anger.
"Hehe, what does the eldest sister of the Yue family want to ask, just ask. Although I and Cherry used to be master and servant, but now we are not, not to mention that this is in your house again, don't shout from the young master and young master, just call me Gongzi Zhou. Zhou Mingyuan unhurriedly grabbed a chopstick greens, put them under the eye and looked at them carefully, put them in his mouth tentatively, chewed them a few times, and said strangely: "What kind of greens is this, it doesn't look good, and the taste is fresh." Not bad, not bad. ”
"It's the wild vegetables on the mountain here, Zhou Gongzi likes to eat them, tomorrow I will ask Ying'er to take you up the mountain to dig." Star fruit smiled: "That, I don't know what kind of business Zhou Gongzi's family is doing?" ”
The eldest sister's face was sinister, and she was bent on creating opportunities for herself and Zhou Mingyuan, it was really ...... If she knew Zhou Mingyuan's true identity, if she knew the undercurrent of Zhou Mingyuan's trip, I am afraid that she would pull her to stay away from Zhou Mingyuan.
"Cloth villages, grain shops, shipping and restaurants, all dabbling a little." Zhou Mingyuan is like a young master from a wealthy family at this time, smiling gently, eating sven, and answering elegantly.
"There are so many things to do, you need a good hand." Cotton Peach's eyes lit up and followed.
"Yes, yes, Zhou Gongzi is young and promising." Star fruit is also praised.
Mi Tao knew that she couldn't speak, and she didn't dare to talk nonsense, so she just let her eat the vegetables one by one.
These sisters...... Surrounding Zhou Mingyuan, it was as if a few hungry wolves had seen a fat sheep, and their eyes turned green. Cherry shook her head helplessly, and simply put down the bowl: "I'm done." The rabbits in the yard haven't been fed yet, so I'm going to feed them first. ”
"Go, go, and don't get in the way." Carambola waved her hand eagerly.
Cherry looked at Zhou Mingyuan, who was answering her sisters' questions unhurriedly, and got up and walked out of the house. Quietly thinking in her heart, she made a lot of calculations, but she missed the thoughts of several sisters' bad matchmakers. Now it seems that it was really a wrong decision to stay with Zhou Mingyuan. You have to think about it quickly and drive him back.
"How?" After feeding the rabbits, and cleaning up the rabbit nest again, Cherry didn't want to enter the house, so she sat on the wooden couch under the grape trellis in a daze. I don't know when Zhou Mingyuan walked out of the house, smiling, and seemed to be very happy: "Don't you miss these sisters very much?" Now at home, why do you still have a sad face? I don't talk to my sisters when I eat. ”
"Are they willing to let you out?" Cherry took advantage of the cover of the night and glared at Zhou Mingyuan fiercely.
"Hehehe, you sisters, it's really funny." Zhou Mingyuan seemed to be extremely happy, he couldn't see his expression clearly with the light on his back, but he could clearly hear it in his voice.
The second son of the Zhou family's palace who is high up and speaks of the same is very close to the people in front of several sisters, no matter how he asks, no matter how he says, he is not angry, and he is smiling, so patient. Cherry glanced at him a few times and was bold: "I don't know...... That, this bounty...... When can I give it? ”
"Do you really care about ...... so much" Zhou Mingyuan looked up at the starry sky with his hands in his hands, and was in a very good mood: "Is it difficult, is there any urgency?" ”
"Nature is useful. Otherwise, where will you be risked to stay? Cherry frowned slightly, what did he mean, shouldn't he be in debt?
"If it's really that urgent, how good it would be to go back with me, the sentence I said is okay for two thousand two or three thousand taels of silver, but it still works." Zhou Mingyuan turned his face to look at the cherry, his expression shining: "If there are more, it is not non-negotiable." ”
"It's not necessary to have more, a thousand taels is enough." Cherries can't help but be a little strange, but a plate of small desserts, Zhou Mingyuan has always been a person who doesn't pay attention to appetite, how can he be willing to spend so much money? Has anyone ever heard of a royal prince and nobleman who costs a thousand taels to eat a plate of dim sum? I'm afraid the emperor is not so extravagant.
"Look at you're in a hurry" Zhou Mingyuan lowered his head and laughed softly, and his voice couldn't help but carry a little doting: "This is for you." As he spoke, he took out a silver ticket from his bosom and handed it over.
The cherry reached out to take it, but Zhou Mingyuan jerked it back in his hand and didn't give it to her.
"How?" Cherry stared at the silver ticket that fluttered in the darkness and couldn't be seen clearly. The happiness of her second sister in this life is tied to this, which is really ironic.
"Hehe, if you can grab it, I'll give it to you." Zhou Mingyuan suddenly became playful and raised the silver ticket in his hand.
"How can this be? Didn't you say you were going to give it to me? Who robbed you, where can I rob you? It's all a good thing......" Cherry said as she suddenly reached out to grab it.
Zhou Mingyuan retreated with ease and took half a step back.
Cherry pounced and fell forward.
"Be careful!!" Zhou Mingyuan grabbed Cherry's waist with one hand, held her hand tightly with the other, supported her, and smiled: "Your work with a few hands and three-legged cats is still so bad." Nonono, the silver ticket is for you. The hand around her waist let go and handed over the silver ticket.
"I'm ......" Cherry didn't think about anything else, and quickly took the silver ticket and stuffed it into her sleeve pocket. Only then did I realize that my other hand was still tightly held by Zhou Mingyuan's hand. I pumped hard, but I couldn't pull it out. Only then did she think about it, did she fall for Zhou Mingyuan, and asked him to rub the oil for no reason.
"Wow! I'll just say it, I'll say it!! "In the back room, there are four butts lined up on the windowsill. The faces of the four sisters were eager to be pasted on the window paper. Seeing Zhou Mingyuan's action just now, Mi Tao immediately screamed in a fuss.
"You're a dead girl!!" Without thinking, Carambola reached out to hit her and shouted, "Be quiet!" ”
"I'll just say it, I'll just say it......" Mi Tao lowered her voice excitedly, still murmuring softly.
"Mian'er, what do you see?" Star fruit was a little excited and asked cotton peach again.
"It's a good one." Cotton peach nodded for the first time.
"Okay, good" Star fruit was happy on her face, and she couldn't help but grin and smirk.
"It's not over yet, look!!" Mian Tao pulled her over, and the sisters put their faces on the window paper and peeped at their sisters with relish.
Miao Chengye, who was sitting alone drinking tea in the hall, shook his head lightly with a smile, looked at the inner room with doting eyes, and sighed lightly, how many sisters are there ......
Cherry looked up at Zhou Mingyuan in surprise, and saw that his eyes were shining at him in the starlight, and his hand was holding harder and harder, so he was shocked to realize something, and his face couldn't help but burn a little: "What are you doing?" ”
Zhou Mingyuan also seemed to be aware of his gaffe, so he quickly let go of his hand, coughed a few times to recover his mind, and couldn't help laughing: "Cherry's hand is very soft." Hold ...... It's very comfortable. ”
"Dignified ......" The dignified prince actually came to flirt with a girl from a good family...... Cherry gently shook the painful hand a few times, and then covered her face, and a hot temperature came from her soft cheeks. Just as she was thinking about how to end, there was a cold snort from Mi Tao in the room, followed by an earth-shattering cough - she laughed too much, and she was about to suppress it, and of course she was choked by her own saliva.
Then came to the ears the light drink of star fruit and the sound of cotton peach walnut disgusting rice peach.
Listen to the voice, these are all lying on the windowsill. Listening to the disgust of a few of them again, Cherry Deng immediately understood, and couldn't help but walk towards the house with a dissatisfied 'Oooo You are a pregnant person, and you are about to become a mother, how can you take Yue Ertao and Yue Santao with you......"
Zhou Mingyuan was slightly stunned, and then grinned silently. Raised his leg and followed Cherry into the house.
The sisters laughed and played until late at night, when they turned off their lights. Zhou Mingyuan also squeezed on a kang with Miao Chengye and lay down.
As a prince, Zhou Mingyuan has never slept on a big kang since he was a child. The first time he slept on it, although star fruit had already spread two more quilts on the kang, he still couldn't sleep. tossed and turned a few times, waking up Miao Chengye.
"Zhou Gongzi can't get used to sleeping on this big kang?" Miao Chengye asked softly.
"Nope." Zhou Mingyuan quieted down, rubbed his head uncomfortably on the pillow, and couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, why did he rely on the soft bed to live tall, and he wanted to go to this small village to beg for hardship?
