Chapter 67: Hello cousin
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, just under this night, the evening breeze gently blows Shen Ao's cheeks, through the hazy lantern light and shadow under the eaves, Shen Ao and Zhou Heng sit cross-legged on the ground, Zhou Heng gobbled up pastries, and complained in his mouth: "Shen Ao, you don't know, I originally thought that my father would be dissipated after three or five days, but who knows that he still didn't escape, it's really miserable, hey...... In a few days, I will go to Guozijian to study, and it is good to go to study, at least I don't have to look at his face often. ”
Shen Ao smiled and said, "Didn't you say you were practicing?" ”
Zhou Heng chewed the food in his mouth abruptly, and smiled awkwardly: "Don't talk about this, don't talk about this......" When he was full, he comfortably touched his filled stomach, and the robe sent by Shen Ao also made him very warm, and his mood was obviously better, and said: "My young master is not interesting at all, which young master have you ever seen to be punished like this?" I just don't like to read, and I'm usually very peaceful, right? ”
Shen Ao thought about it, if it was, his conscience seemed to be a little unbearable; But if he shook his head, the wounded heart in front of him could not be soothed, so he had to open his eyes and talk nonsense, and said very sincerely and emotionally: "Yes, in addition to reading, Dong Chou is very talented in other aspects, but everything in this era is inferior, only reading is high, a talent like Dong Chou, it's a pity that he was born at the wrong time, otherwise he is also a handsome man." ”
Shen Ao slandered in his belly: "In the next life, you are still a dead rich second generation." ”
Zhou Heng's eyebrows suddenly danced, and he said continuously: "Shen Ao still understands me, but what is the era?" ”
At this time, I heard a voice in the darkness saying, "What a stupid, he is ridiculing you, what are you laughing at?" ”
Zhou Heng's face was as frightened as earth, and his body knelt on the ground all of a sudden, lowering his head, pretending to be thoughtful.
The person who came turned out to be Zhou Ruo, she was wearing a pale yellow dress, with a light moon, and her steps were light and carrying a food box, like a moon fairy who came out of the dark.
Seeing that it was his sister, Zhou Heng sighed, returned to his old self, and said, "Sister, you are too scary, so much so that my heart almost jumped out." ”
Shen Ao smiled and said, "Miss Zhou is good." ”
Zhou Ruo saw the pastry residues on the ground, so he frowned and said to Zhou Heng: "It turns out that you are not hungry, so my mother is so worried that she can't sleep, so she secretly taught me to send some food." Glancing at Shen Ao, he said, "Isn't Shen Ao sleeping tonight?" ”
Somehow, the smell of Zhou Ruo's gunpowder tonight is not as strong as usual.
Shen Ao replied: "I want to sleep, but talk to Zhou Heng first." ”
Zhou Ruo put down the food box and said, "It's very cold at night, I brought some wine and food, if you are cold, drink some wine to warm up." ”
Zhou Heng smiled: "It's still my sister who is considerate of me, it seems that there are still people in this house who are worthy of my nostalgia, I originally wanted to run away from home, but now for the sake of my sister, I will continue to stay here." ”
Zhou Ruo said angrily: "You don't have to look at my face, you can leave now." ”
Zhou Heng had no confidence, so he had to keep his mouth shut and run away from home, just talking, no matter how stupid he was, he wouldn't take it seriously.
Zhou Ruo put down the food box, turned around and walked, walked a few steps, suddenly glanced back at Shen Ao, and said after a moment: "Shen Ao, Chun'er is sick." With that, he disappeared into the night.
"Chun'er is sick!" Shen Ao's mind was buzzing, and in the past few days, he found that Chun'er's expression was a little abnormal, but he didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't expect that he was sick.
Zhou Heng was also worried, he thought that his friendship with Chun'er was not bad, and according to Shen Ao's sudden appearance, he said to Shen Ao: "Are you okay, why don't we go visit her now?" ”
Shen Ao smiled bitterly: "Entering the boudoir of my daughter's house in the middle of the night, are you going to visit or are you going to be a silver thief?" ”
Zhou Heng touched his head and laughed: "I almost forgot, let's go again tomorrow." ”
Shen Ao's mood suddenly turned bad, Chun'er has become strange recently, as if she is not as close as before.
No, it can't go on like this.
The next morning, Zhou Heng and Shen Ao went to greet Mrs. Greetings, in fact, there are many famous halls for this greeting today, Mrs. is dressed in costume, sitting in the hall, surrounded by Miss Zhou and many maids, and several stewards in the house are standing on the periphery, and even the prince who has always ignored housework also came, sitting on the left side of Mrs., drinking tea slowly.
Zhou Heng went in, and as soon as he saw Zhou Zheng, wow, his face changed, he changed from a cat to a mouse, and he went over to salute timidly, his knees were swollen before, so his knees couldn't bend down, so he could only owe his body, which was very embarrassing.
"Stand aside." Zhou Zheng didn't give Zhou Heng any good looks, and with a reprimand, Zhou Heng immediately got up and quickly stood next to Zhou Ruo.
The lady beckoned to Shen Ao: "Shen Ao, come, pour tea for your aunt." ”
Shen Ao nodded, his eyes swept away, Chun'er really didn't come, he was very disappointed in his heart, and he felt empty.
Xiang'er came over with a tea set, Shen Ao poured out a cup of tea from the teapot, carefully held it and sent it up, and said, "Please aunt drink tea." ”
Mrs. took the tea, took a sip gently, put the tea cup on the case next to her, and said with a smile: "From now on, you will be my mother's family, and I won't ask you anything else, you work hard, read more, you know?" ”
Shen Ao hurriedly said: "Madam said so, Shen Ao can't do it if he doesn't work hard." ”
The lady smiled, took his hand, and said, "You kid is very sensible, and I don't have anything to say." Heng'er, Ruo'er, come to see your cousin. ”
Cousin? Zhou Heng couldn't react for a while, he was still Shen Ao just now, how could he become a cousin in a blink of an eye?
At this time, Zhou Zheng's murderous gaze fell, Zhou Heng's back was cold, and he hurriedly stepped up, grabbed Shen Ao's hand, and said excitedly: "Cousin is good." ”
Shen Ao smiled and held him back: "Cousin is very well-behaved." ”
Everyone laughed, Zhou Heng was very embarrassed, and obediently retreated, he was full of questions, why did Shen Ao become his cousin? Why didn't Shen Ao reveal it last night, by the way, it seems to have been revealed, and he called himself a cousin, but unfortunately he didn't care much about it later.
Zhou Ruoying walked over and nodded at Shen Ao: "Cousin is good." She bit a little hard at this good word, and some ridicule appeared on her face, as if to say: "You slippery head, you are too good at coaxing people." ”
Shen Ao knew that she was not convinced, wow, it was so sad, your cousin was insincere.
Although there was a haze in his heart, he was an optimistic person, so he snatched it and held Zhou Ruo's hand, Zhou Ruo's face was red, and he wanted to break free, but he couldn't break free. I wanted to scold, but so many people watched, so I had to raise my red face to look at Shen Ao's eyes, Shen Ao's eyes were very pure and sharp, the handsome face drooped slightly, and looked at her, only listening to Shen Ao say word by word: "Cousin is good." ”
Everyone applauded, it was so touching, this picture of recognizing relatives was very warm, and the old man and lady were there, Shen Ao would also become the young master of the house in the future, so he took the opportunity to take more sycophants, so he said: "Congratulations to Shen Gongzi." Or say, "Congratulations to Young Master Shen." And the humane: "Madame is really a blessing." ”
Zhou Ruo was stunned for a moment at the moment, ashamed and angry, but he couldn't attack, because everyone knew that Shen Ao's actions were very logical and upright. The cousin went to shake her hand openly, and said a word to her cousin with a sincere face, no one would doubt anything else, but they all felt that Shen Ao was very affectionate, even her father and mother, who were also smiling at the moment, very pleased.
Shen Ao is too bad, if he has skin-to-skin contact with Miss Zhou in private, he will inevitably be suspected by others, and they will suspect him of malicious intentions. But in front of many people, to hold his cousin's hand, others will not think like this.
Doesn't the saying say? The gentleman is frank and open, and the villain is often related, that is, the gentleman is upright and upright, not worried or afraid, so he is broad-minded and open-minded. And because the villain has bad intentions, he doesn't dare to be upright in many things. Shen Ao is a gentleman, too frank.
"Let go of ......" Zhou Ruo threatened in a low voice, even if it was a logical thing, this hand had been held for too long.
Shen Ao had no choice but to let go, and scolded in his heart: "It's just a handshake, why be so nervous, it doesn't matter, you will get used to it slowly in the future." ”
