Chapter 107: Eagle-Flying
Chapter 107: Eagle-Flying
Yuan Changqing's Hai Dongqing said that it was entrusted to Shanniang, but in fact, it was more like it was entrusted to the fifth master.
It is said that the fifth master saw the eagle first, and then knew Yuan Changqing. At that time, the old man had the idea of the eagle, but Yuan Changqing was unwilling to give in. However, Yuan Changqing also handed over the words, saying that he could borrow the fifth master to observe one or two. And although the fifth master is obviously not Yuan Changqing's opponent for things like fighting hearts, people who can play art have different understandings, and when he saw Yuan Changqing for the first time, the master intuitively felt that he was not as pure as he looked on the outside, so the fifth master wanted to draw the eagle in his heart, and Yuan Changqing handed him a ladder, and the master was still very vigilant and did not move forward - the next thing proved that the master's intuition was really smart.
Of course, these things have passed over time, and the scruples of the fifth master at the beginning have now become the reason why he takes a fancy to Yuan Changqing. No matter what reason the prospective son-in-law used to store this Hai Dongqing in their house, for the fifth master, this is a rare opportunity to observe Hai Dongqing's demeanor nearby. Therefore, in addition to the time he was tired of spending with his wife, the old man soaked in the newly built eagle house almost every day to tease the eagle and feed the eagle.
This Hai Dongqing, named "Ah Ash", not only became the "dark pile" left by Yuan Changqing beside Shanniang, but also fulfilled the wish of the old man to draw eagles, but what Yuan Da didn't expect was that it also fulfilled the reason why the five princes came to the door in a grand manner.
The fifth lord knew from the beginning that the fifth prince Zhou Chong liked this eagle very much, so he used the excuse of watching the eagle to come to the door frequently, and the lord did not suspect him - where did he think that this royal nobleman was actually "a drunkard who does not mean to drink"!
What made Zhou Chong depressed was that he came to the door ten times, but he couldn't see the person he wanted to see nine times - think about it, Shan Niang is a betrothed girl, even if the old man is muddy, he also knows to protect his daughter's reputation. What's more, Shanniang is still very busy now, in addition to taking care of housework, she also has to take care of an elderly mother, and the rest of the time has to clean up the yard, take care of flowers and plants, read some novels, take a nap, communicate with her girlfriends, make an appointment to drink some tea and go shopping or something, it's really busy. In short, she really couldn't find the time to give him such an irrelevant person.
Zhou Chong is not a mediocre person, and when he saw that he didn't have a chance to get close to Shanniang, he thought of an idea to create a zΓ o opportunity. So he borrowed the eagle again to talk about things, begging the fifth master to take him with him when he released the eagle, and bewitched the fifth master and said, while now that his wife is sitting firmly in the womb and the action is still convenient, he just took his wife out to enjoy the autumn scenery. How can the master not agree to it? So on the day of the family treat, Zhou Chong "took the opportunity" and asked Shanniang if she wanted to go with her.
And Shanniang was also a little annoyed by the trouble he caused, and was looking for an opportunity to ask him the reason for his ambiguous attitude, so she responded.
Then, on this day, the fifth master and Zhou Chong rode their horses to the Luomei River to release eagles. Shan Niang and Mrs. followed leisurely in the boat. As for Hou Rui and Hou Jue, because it was not Xiu Mu today, the two of them had no chance to participate, so they had to go to school with their heads down.
Zhou Chongyuan thought beautifully, thinking that Shanniang and Mrs. were sitting in the carriage, and he could always say a few words to her through the window, but he couldn't imagine that the old man was afraid of turning his wife upside down, so he didn't prepare the carriage, but asked his wife and Shanniang to get on the boat...... Looking at the painting boat floating in the Luomei River, the five princes could only sigh silently in addition to gritting their teeth.
As the saying goes, "you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder", what kind of difficulties and obstacles can not stop a person's "heart" word, and when the fifth master came to the foot of Meishan, as soon as he looked up, the master knew that Zhou Chong had ordered someone to take a tent curtain in the leeward place to surround the land, and also paved the brocade felt, and set up a table. So, Shanniang and Mrs. were fooled into getting off the boat, and finally met with Zhou Chonghui on the shore.
The fifth master watched the little girl let the cool breeze go for a while, and gradually became itchy. Since there was a thoughtful case set up over there, there was no reason not to prepare paper and ink, so the old man couldn't take care of Shanniang, so he pulled his wife over to help him lay paper and polish ink, and waved it on the spot.
Shanniang also hasn't gone out for a few days, and today the wind is beautiful and sunny, the autumn is crisp, seeing the old lady there is happy, she ordered to follow the Lu'an Wufu and others who went out to play, she sat on the chair by the river, while basking in the sun, while holding a canopy, watching the cool breeze there to release eagles and train eagles.
She was fascinated, so she didn't notice that the fifth prince Zhou Chong also ordered someone to move a chair over and sit next to her. Zhou Chong looked at Shanniang and smiled, "What have you been busy with lately?" I can't even see you. β
It wasn't until she heard him speak that Shanniang noticed that there was another person around her. As soon as she turned around, she saw him sitting beside her so aggressively, and her slender eyes couldn't help but narrow.
She turned sideways and looked Zhou Chong up and down for a while, and couldn't help but secretly compare him with Yuan Changqing in her heart.
In terms of appearance, Zhou Chongxu is not as beautiful as Yuan Changqing, but his flamboyant eyebrows and eyes are obviously more attractive than Yuan Changqing, who always has a rigid face - at least Shanniang knows that many sisters and sisters in her family secretly always talk about this fifth prince, and not only because of his royal background...... But at this time, Shanniang found that she seemed to prefer the unsmiling style more than this lively one......
Her eyes blinked, she put down the hand that was on her brow and put the canopy, and she also withdrew the nonsense in her head, looked into his eyes, and asked directly: "What are you doing with those inexplicable things you keep giving me?" β
Zhou Chong habitually said with a hippie smile: "You just gave it to you, but it was returned!" You don't treat me as a friend. β
Shanniang said: "I think you don't treat me as a friend." β
Zhou Chong was stunned for a moment, only then did he notice Shanniang's displeasure, and hurriedly smiled, and said, "I just gave you those because I took you as a friend." After a pause, he said in an accentuated tone: "Best friend." β
The two looked at each other. Neither of them was stupid, so Shan Niang affirmed the things that she couldn't be sure of before. She was annoyed, sneered, and said, "What about Yuan Changqing?" What is your relationship with him? Got a grudge? β
"How is that possible!" Zhou Chong frowned and said, "I am a brother with him!" β
"Brother?" Shanniang sneered again, "I haven't seen a brother who demolished the corner of the brother's wall!" β
"How did I tear down his corner?!" Zhou Chong said dissatisfied.
"Don't you know my relationship with him?" Shanniang asked rhetorically.
"Of course ......I know," Zhou Chong paused, then understood what Shanniang meant, and said with a smile: "Isn't that an 'expedient measure'?" β
"It's a 'stopgap measure', and we still have a marriage contract." Shanniang said.
Zhou Chong looked at her and said with a smile: "You guys shouldn't be serious." Seeing that Shanniang opened her mouth to refute him, he hurriedly blocked her words and said: "It was you who said that the marriage contract between the two of you was an 'expedient measure', and I also asked Boss Yuan, but he didn't refute it, so it can be seen that neither of you took it seriously." In this case, I like you a lot, why can't I give you something? β
This time, he didn't block her words anymore, and Shanniang only opened her mouth and couldn't reply. She never imagined that he would speak so bluntly. After being stunned for a while, she turned her head and looked at Hai Dongqing who swooped down from the sky: "Meishan Town is a small place, and there are few novelties, so let's go back to Beijing as soon as Your Highness Five Highnesses play around." β
The implication of her words suddenly made Zhou Chong frown for a while, "Are you hinting that I'm using you as a plaything?" β
"Or else?" Shanniang turned her head to glare at him. In his previous life, Zhou Chong had the name of a playboy, and at that time, because of Yuan Changqing's dislike, Shanniang rarely had contact with Zhou Chong and the people in his circle, but even so, she had heard of the chaos in that circle, and now that she had become his target, she couldn't help but be angry.
"Of course not!" Zhou Chong wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "I really think you're good." β
"What about Yuan Changqing?" Shanniang said.
"What's the matter with him?" Zhou Chongdao, "You two are not really ......"
"It's not true, we still have a marriage contract!" Shanniang emphasized.
Zhou Chong looked at her, and suddenly screamed: "You have changed your mind?!" Or do you ...... ...... to him Isn't it?! β
"Of course not!" Shanniang blurted out. She suddenly reacted, glared at him and said, "Whether it is or not has nothing to do with you!" It's you, what the hell do you want?! This is Meishan Town, not the capital, and I'm not one of those girls in the capital who love to revolve around you, you are a great disrespect to me! β
She was annoyed here, but Zhou Chong was puzzled for a while, "How can it be disrespectful to you?" 'My Fair Lady and Gentleman', I like you to show you goodwill, but this is also wrong?! β
"And then?" Shanniang sneered, "What are you going to do after you make a gesture to me?" Marry me?! β
Zhou Chong was stunned. He really never thought about it. And for him, liking someone and marrying someone are two different things entirely, "you...... Want me to marry you? He asked cautiously, and then pondered, "It's not impossible. However, with a family background like yours, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the queen mother to get by as a concubine, so it should be no problem to be a side concubine. β
Shanniang: "......"
Speechless. She used these words to provoke him, but she never imagined that he really seemed to be thinking about marrying her or not, and he also considered giving her a name...... Well, although this means that he does mean that he is seriously "liking" her; On the other hand, it also means that this bear child doesn't know what "like" is!
- All in all, this kid is crooked!
Shanniang couldn't help but rub her forehead with her fingers, looked at Zhou Chongdao, "Do you know what 'like' is?" β
Zhou Chong immediately stiffened his neck, "Of course! It's not like people I haven't liked......"
"The girls you liked, how are they now?" Shanniang asked, intercepting his words.
Zhou Chong was speechless for a while. He can be regarded as a famous "thin lover" in the capital, he really likes it when he likes it, and he really doesn't like it if he doesn't like it.
Looking at this bear child, Shanniang's nature of being a good teacher couldn't help but attack again. She propped her forehead with her fingertips and said, "I don't know what Your Highness thinks it is like to like someone, but as far as I'm concerned, liking someone is a lifelong thing." If I wasn't sure I'd like him for the rest of my life, I would never say the word 'like'. β
"But I really like you!" Zhou Chongdao.
Shanniang shook her head and said with a bit of coldness: "You don't really like that. The real one shouldn't be like this, and the real liking is one that takes into account the other person's feelings. When you gave me those things, you really only thought about you being happy, and you didn't think about whether I would like to receive those gifts from youβin other words, you only thought about your own feelings, and you didn't even think about whether your gifts would cause me trouble......"
"No, you misunderstood ......"
Zhou Chong opened his mouth to refute her, but was interrupted by a wave of Shanniang's hand, "Don't say that I misunderstood you, because I have done the same thing as you." At that time, I also thought that I liked someone, so I desperately wanted to be good to him, whether he wanted to accept it or not, I just wanted to give him everything I could, I thought it was like. But then I realized that it was not, I paid a qiΔ, not so much because I liked him, but because I hoped that I could bribe him with my efforts in exchange for his good opinion of me. So, in fact, everything I did was just for myself, not for him, this is not a real like, a real like, it should be ......"
"Who's someone you like?" Suddenly, Zhou Chong interrupted her.
Shanniang choked. Looking at him, he frowned, waved his hand, and said, "It's not important. β
"I think it's important." Zhou Chongdao, "What about you now?" Do you still like him? You just said, 'You thought you liked him,' but now what? β
Shanniang shook her head, but did not speak. In fact, she can't tell whether she still likes Yuan Changqing or not, but what is certain is that at least not the feeling she had in her previous life......
"Then you're different from me." Zhou Chongdao, "At least one thing I can be sure of, I don't like you for a while. After a pause, he added: "You may not believe me, but I know that the feeling you give me is completely different from the feeling that those girls gave me before, I have never met a girl like you......"
Shanniang frowned, intercepted his words and said, "Xu is only because you have never met it, you think you like it......"
This time, it was Zhou Chong's turn to wave his hand to interrupt her. He waved his hand and said, "I'm not as idiotic as you think." β
Shanniang was silent for a while. After a pause, he said, "Okay, even if you like me." But I think that a person's unilateral liking cannot be called 'liking', it can only be said that it is just your longing for that person. The real liking should be the joy of the two ......"
"Who said that?" Zhou Chong retorted, "Even if you don't like me, I can like you." You don't need the consent of another person to like someone! β
"Really?" Shanniang looked up at the bear child and couldn't help but sneer: "But you are so careless about going around me, what do you want others to think of me?!" That's why I said, you don't really like me. When you give me a gift, it's not so much that you want to show that you like me, but that you're just fulfilling your own wishes! β
"You!" Zhou Chong stood up suddenly. Based on his previous experience, when he said that he liked a girl, no matter whether the girl was really reserved or pretending to be reserved, no one dared not save face for him like Shanniang. Provoked by Shanniang's coldness, his royal temper suddenly flareed up, glaring at Shanniang and saying angrily: "Don't think that I like you, you can do whatever you want......"
"That's what I should say!" Shanniang was not forced by his momentum at all, looked up at him and said, "Don't think that if you like me, you can do whatever you want!" What's more, your so-called 'like' is difficult for me! β
He glared at her, and she glared at him back, and the two of them were at a stalemate.
At this time, most of those maids and little maids gathered around the cool breeze to watch him release the eagle, some gathered around the master to watch the master paint, and some were busy and playing their own games, but no one noticed the movement of Shanniang for a while.
Lu'an was also watching the cool breeze release the eagle. As soon as she turned her head unintentionally, she happened to see Shanniang and the Fifth Prince's eyes facing each other. She was stunned for a moment, quickly pulled Wufu's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Sister Wufu, look at the girl." β
As soon as Wufu turned around, he couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "What's wrong with these two people?" Quarreled? With that, he quickly ran over.
Although Zhou Chong is affectionate, he is also affectionate. When he likes a girl, he is still very able to bow down and be small. So he sighed, put away his anger, looked at Shanniang and said helplessly: "So, you don't believe me?" β
"It's not a question of belief or not." Shanniang said, "Mainly, I don't feel that way about you. You're going to embarrass me like that. She herself had that pain, so she would rather be cold than be the object of someone else's unrequited love.
Zhou Chong couldn't help but be surprised, looked at Shanniang around, sat down in the chair beside her again, tilted his head to look at her, and said, "It's really the first time I've seen a girl like you." Isn't it a matter of pride for you girls to have someone like it? Generally speaking, don't you all think that the more people who like you, the better? β
"It's all the girls you know!" Shanniang sneered, "I'm not like this anyway. For me, liking should be a mutual thing. I like someone, and I would hope that he will like me just as much. But if he can't give me the same return, I'll feel unworthy for myself, I'll feel like I've been let down. When someone likes me, I naturally want me to give him the same in return. If I don't reciprocate, he will be a burden on my conscience for me......"
Shanniang was stunned suddenly. Zhou Chong's liking for her is a burden for her, but in the same way, Yuan Changqing also said the same thing to her...... She didn't feel that his "heart" was a burden to her at all......
"Girl." Wufu came over and saluted Zhou Chong, and smiled at Shanniang: "Liangfeng asked the girl if she wanted to learn to fly eagles." β
"Yes, of course!"
Shanniang jumped up from the chair and flipped the chair belt to the ground in one fell swoop.
