Chapter 42: Matters of the Heart (4K, Ask for a Pink Ticket)
Sheng Siyan raised his eyes and glanced at Zhou Huaixuan, and suddenly asked, "Do you have something on your mind?" ā
The faint smile on Zhou Huaixuan's lips was undiminished, his eyes were deep, and he looked at the road ahead.
He didn't look back at Sheng Siyan, just shook her hand and took her to the back room and sat down.
"What's wrong with you?" Sheng Siyan was full of curiosity and concern, pestering Zhou Huaixuan to ask questions.
Zhou Huaixuan took her to his lap and sat down, lazily rested his chin on her shoulder, and said lightly: "...... It's okay. ā
"Nothing? It's okay, what are you frowning about? Sheng Siyan pursed his lips, turned around and stretched out his white and tender little hand, stroked between Zhou Huaixuan's eyebrows, and said distressedly: "Look, it's all wrinkled here." ā
Zhou Huaixuan lowered his eyes, let her little hand roam between his eyebrows, felt the sweet fragrance on her neck, took a deep breath, and a look of intoxication flashed across his face.
Sheng Siyan's focused eyes lingered between his eyebrows for a moment.
Seeing that there was a look of forbearance on his face, Sheng Siyan simply pressed his two hands on Zhou Huaixuan's forehead and used the massage method she learned from a medical book.
Although Zhou Huaixuan didn't have a headache, he felt two warm, soft, and incredibly tender fingers rubbing on his forehead, and a crisp numbness spread from the place where his hands were close to each other, and gradually flowed to his limbs......
Zhou Huaixuan let out a faint "call", and the expression on his face became comfortable and enjoyable.
Sheng Siyan was in a good mood all of a sudden, and rubbed the acupoints on his forehead more and more vigorously to relieve his fatigue.
Although Zhou Huaixuan coveted the warmth of her fingertips, he also knew that this kind of kneading was very laborious.
Sheng Siyan's body is weak and his strength is even smaller. Even a seven- or eight-year-old can't beat it. Not to mention rubbing his acupoints hard.
Zhou Huaixuan stretched out his hand. pressed it to his forehead and put Sheng Siyan's hand under his big hand.
Sheng Siyan's tender little hand was tightly held by his big iron tong-like hand, unable to move, and couldn't help but say, "You loosen up, I'm going to give you a massage......"
"No need." Zhou Huaixuan said lightly, holding her hand with both hands and putting it in front of his eyes to take a closer look.
He still remembers that year, Sheng Siyan and the Wang family, who was pregnant with Liujia, and the one-year-old little wolfberry were forced to hide on the medicine mountain on the outskirts of Beijing, and Sheng Siyan had to take care of the eldest one alone. He has to take care of the small ones again, a pair of hands are made very rough on the mountain, the hard calluses on his fingers and the scars on the back of his hands, Zhou Huaixuan will never forget it for the rest of his life......
And now the hands in front of him are delicate and white, and the cherry powder in the palms is faint, just like her lips.
The shallow smile on Zhou Huaixuan's lips was fleeting.
He slowly lowered his head, buried himself in her palm, and kissed the cherry powder in her palm lightly.
Sheng Siyan's palms were full of Zhou Huaixuan's blazing breath, and he couldn't help but giggle. Delicately sneered: "...... Why are you like Ah Cai, licking people to itch......"
Zhou Huaixuan paused. Raised his head casually, looked at Sheng Siyan's pretty smile, and said softly: "I don't know what happened to Ah Cai." ā
Sheng Siyan's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "You also want to be rich?" Isn't it? Isn't it? As he spoke, his arms wrapped around Zhou Huaixuan's neck, put his head against his head, and said flatteringly: "Huaixuan, kiss Huaixuan, you send someone to bring Ah Cai back, okay?" Is it good? ā
Zhou Huaixuan was going to take her to the northwest degenerate settlement for a turn, but seeing Sheng Siyan flattering him like this, he didn't rush to tell her, he just straightened up, pulled Sheng Siyan's arm away from his neck, separated it from her pretty face for a distance, lowered his eyes and glanced at her, then looked away, looked away, and said lightly: "It's not good." ā
Sheng Siyan pursed her lips. She knew that Zhou Huaixuan didn't like Ah Cai. It was in her face that she used to tolerate Ah Caiduo.
And Ah Cai is indeed too naughty, always provoking Zhou Huaixuan without fear of death......
Even what he didn't dare to do, Ah Cai dared to do it, and "humiliated" Zhou Huaixuan several times, no wonder Zhou Huaixuan didn't want Ah Cai to come back.
Thinking about it like this, Sheng Siyan was a little weak-hearted.
"Huai Xuan, Huai Xuan Gege ......" Sheng Siyan continued to launch a "tender" offensive without being sensitive, jumped up and hugged his neck, and kissed him on the cheek, "If you promise to take Ah Cai back, I will definitely discipline it well and prevent it from going against you again!" Sheng Siyan assured.
Zhou Huaixuan shook his head lazily, "No." ā
"Huaixuan, good Huaixuan, kiss Huaixuan, I love the most favorite Huaixuan......" Sheng Siyan twisted around like candy in his arms, constantly coquettishly begging, "As long as you promise to take Ah Cai back, I will promise whatever you say......"
Zhou Huaixuan was stunned and glanced at her, "Promise anything?" ā
Sheng Siyan nodded violently, "It must be!" As he spoke, he raised his palms anxiously to high-five Zhou Huaixuan, "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase!" ā
Zhou Huaixuan didn't high-five her, just looked at her with a smile for a while, and then leaned into her ear and whispered a few words.
Sheng Siyan's face turned red suddenly, and two lines of pink flew on her white cheeks, like the sunset on the horizon in the evening.
āā¦ā¦ Well? Zhou Huaixuan asked lightly, the tail note was slightly elongated, and it was raised obliquely upward, which made Sheng Siyan's heart skip a beat, and the blood in his whole body rushed to his face, so red that it seemed to drip blood.
Sheng Siyan lowered his eyes, fiddled with the placket on Zhou Huaixuan's chest with one hand, and said in a slurred: "Hmm...... If...... I mean, if ...... Can you bring Ah Choi back...... It's not like I can't ......."
"Can or can't?" Zhou Huaixuan lowered his eyes and looked at the tiny little fingers she was moving around on his chest.
Sheng Siyan glanced at Zhou Huaixuan, jumped off his knees, and ran away from the distance, laughter came like silver bells, "...... I'll talk about it when you bring Ah Cai back. ā
Zhou Huaixuan got up slowly, watching Sheng Siyan's back disappear into the bath room, and the smile on his face slowly faded.
He put his hands behind his back and looked at the door of the bath room in distraction.
Sheng Siyan came to the bathroom and looked in the mirror, seeing that his face was as red as if he had been coated with red rouge, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue, and secretly said that he was fortunate to go to the bathroom to look in the mirror, otherwise he would have gone out like this. But I'm going to die of shame......
Sheng Siyan washed his face in the bathroom. Reapply the balm. before the mood calmed down.
She walked out of the bath room and saw that there was no lamp in the room, Zhou Huaixuan leaned against the edge of the moon cave door with his arms crossed, and the tall figure was as silent as a silhouette.
"Why don't you hold the lamp?" Sheng Siyan said strangely, and walked to the table to find the fire fold to light the lamp.
Zhou Huaixuan said lightly: "No need, I'm going to eat." ā
Sheng Siyan stopped lighting the lamp and walked towards him.
The two left Qingyuan Hall together and went to Songtao Garden.
Walk on the way to Shotaoen. Sheng Siyan remembered what she was going to ask Zhou Huaixuan today, patted her head, and said angrily: "Really, such an important matter, I only remembered to ask you now." ā
Zhou Huaixuan glanced at her, flicked his big sleeves, covered her hand under his sleeve, held her hand, and walked forward together.
Sheng Siyan was used to being held by him and walking, and he held his hand tightly with his backhand at the moment.
"Huai Xuan. I heard that Miss Wu Er died. Is it true? Sheng Siyan was really taken aback when he heard the news in the morning, and it was not easy to go out to find someone to ask, so he had to ponder in the house alone.
finally waited for Zhou Huaixuan to come back, and he was fooled by him for a long time.
Sheng Siyan couldn't help but be angry, and secretly scolded himself for not being angry......
Zhou Huaixuan looked straight ahead and said a faint "um", "It's dead." ā
"Huh? Really dead? She looks like she's only sixteen, right? Only a year older than me. Sheng Siyan said with some regret.
Although Wu Chanjuan is a little petty and her temper is not very good, there is nothing big about it, and she has not done anything particularly wrong, and it is indeed a pity that she died like this at a young age.
But Sheng Siyan only sighed twice.
Although she has an unknown relationship with Wu Chanjuan, because Wu Chanjuan's mother Zheng Suxin is too much, Sheng Siyan hates her deeply, and she also "hates the house and Wu" for Wu Chanjuan, and can't show too much sympathy.
Zhou Huaixuan saw that Sheng Siyan only asked one sentence, and after confirming that Wu Chanjuan was really dead, he didn't ask more, this attitude was very appetizing to him, and he bowed his head slightly and said: "It's early to die." ā
Sheng Siyan glanced at him speechlessly, came to the gate of Songtao Garden with him, and kept silent about it.
Coming to the place where Songtao Garden was set up for dinner and sitting down, Sheng Siyan couldn't help but glance at the third room.
Zhou Sizong, the third master of the Zhou family, lowered his head and was still reading.
Grandma Wu San didn't change, she just looked a little tired, and her face was a little powdery. Originally, the powder was for a good complexion, but it was too much, too white, but it was haggard and old, especially the two big dark circles under the eyes were shocking.
Zhou Huaili was much quieter than before.
He used to look at people with a smile on his face, but now he doesn't smile at all.
The two youngest sons of the third room, Zhou Huaizhi and Zhou Huaixin, have also changed a lot, and they don't have the appearance of flying and jumping off in the past, like frosted eggplants, sitting there listlessly.
Sheng Siyan turned his gaze and looked at the second room again.
The people in the second room are the most prosperous, and several brothers of Zhou Huaixuan's generation have already married wives and had children.
At dinner, I brought my wife, son, and daughter together, and it was very lively.
However, today it seems that the atmosphere of the banquet is different, and several children who used to be very laughing and noisy also sat obediently next to their father and mother, looking curiously at the people at the banquet without speaking.
When Old Man Zhou saw that everyone had arrived, he spoke: "Everyone knows about the Wu Guogong Mansion, right?" ā
Everyone at the table answered.
"Alas, the Wu Guogong Mansion has really been bad lately." Old Madam Zhou sighed and said to Grandma Wu San: "Yun Ji, if you are free, you can go back to your parents' house to see your father." With so many things going on, your father and mother are not feeling good. ā
Grandma Wu San hurriedly stood up and said, "Thank you, mother." I'll check it out when I have time. As he spoke, he said to Old Man Zhou: "Dad, last time you asked Steward Zhou to pass the word, saying that you want to help us get ......married."
Zhou Huaili coughed and interrupted his mother's words, "Mother, let's have dinner first." Don't keep everyone waiting. ā
Grandma Wu San glared at Zhou Huaili and sat down angrily.
Old Man Zhou didn't hear it, and said with a smile: "Let's serve." ā
The next person rushed in and put the hot dishes on the table.
Zhou Yanli sat absentmindedly between Sheng Siyan and Feng's, eating as if counting the grains of rice one by one.
Since the attack on Lamp Street, Zhou Yanli has been seriously injured and has been recuperating in her room.
Today is the first time I have come out to eat with everyone since I was injured.
When Old Man Zhou saw it, he pointed to the two dishes and said, "Put this red stewed mutton and pearl glutinous rice balls for the third girl." ā
Zhou Yanli was in a trance, but she didn't hear Old Man Zhou's words.
Sheng Siyan glanced at her secretly, hurriedly kicked her lightly under the table, stood up and said, "Thank you, grandfather." - Yanli, don't you want to thank your grandfather? ā
Zhou Yanli woke up, hurriedly stood up, and muttered thanks.
Old Man Zhou smiled and said, "Ah Yan, if you really have the heart to thank me, how about playing chess with your grandfather after eating?" He looked at her with a blank eye.
Sheng Siyan smiled and said, "Okay." However, grandfather, your chess skills are much higher than mine, and you have to promise to let me have ten sons, and I will play a game with you today. ā
Poof!
Zhou Huaizhi and Zhou Huaixin in the third room were drinking soup, and they squirted out together when they heard the words.
They looked at Sheng Siyan in surprise and couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law, are you serious?" ā
Sheng Siyan glanced at them inexplicably, and said a little unhappily: "What is really fake?" If I talk to my grandfather, can I tell a lie? ā
Zhou Huaixuan pulled her hand and asked her to sit down, and then glanced at Zhou Huaizhi and Zhou Huaixin carelessly.
The two children shivered, and hurriedly stood up and honestly apologized to Sheng Siyan: "...... Sister-in-law, it's us who is wrong. You have a lot of them, don't worry about us......"
Sheng Siyan was even more inexplicable, but he still bowed his head and said, "It's nothing." Those of you who don't know are not guilty, and don't be so polite, they are all family. ā
Zhou Huaizhi and Zhou Huaixin glanced at each other, wiped the sweat on their foreheads, sat down and continued to drink soup silently.
Zhou Huaili glanced at them, then at Zhou Huaixuan, his gaze moved lightly from Sheng Siyan, and finally landed on Zhou Yanli.
After Zhou Yanli sat down, she was still absent-mindedly picking up the food, and the two dishes that Old Man Zhou specially gave her, she didn't move at all.
Sheng Siyan hurriedly sandwiched a piece of red braised mutton for her, and also sandwiched a piece for herself and Zhou Huaixuan.
Zhou Yanli looked at the red mutton and frowned slightly. - She doesn't like to eat meat......
Sheng Siyan took a bite, but found that the taste was rare for her appetite, and it melted in her mouth, and the faint smell of mutton was baked by a little cumin and houttuynia cordata.
"Well, it's delicious,......" Sheng Siyan muttered, and quickly ate the piece of red braised mutton in his bowl, and went to grab another piece.
Old Man Zhou saw that Sheng Siyan actually liked to eat, and he was suddenly overjoyed.
Braised lamb is also his favorite dish.
This granddaughter-in-law really looks at it more and more to his liking!
After dinner, Sheng Siyan obediently went to play a game of chess with Old Man Zhou before being let go.
Zhou Huaixuan had already left first, and did not wait for her as before.
Sheng Siyan was slightly surprised, and walked to the door of Songtao Garden with the maid and the maid, and saw Zhou Yanli still walking around the door.
Seeing her come out, Zhou Yanli hurriedly greeted her, took her hand, as if she had made a lot of determination, and said, "Sister-in-law, go and sit in my yard, okay?" ā

The first is 4,100 words, as usual, ask for pink votes and recommendation votes. In the afternoon, there is a pink 810 plus more. Of course, if the pink reaches 840, there will be a third shift today. O(ā©_ā©)Oā¦ā¦ć (To be continued......)
PS: I can't help but sigh with emotion, I saw that I had collected 30,000 yesterday, and I really had mixed feelings. A certain Han still remembers that when he wrote his first book "Yanshui Cold" three years ago, he had been struggling to collect 300 people...... I don't know how many relatives followed a certain Han when he wrote his first book "Smoke and Water Cold". If so, be sure to bubble up in the book review section. O(ā©_ā©)Oć
