"Well, my mother asked me to stay away from you, and I used to forget it, but today I just don't want to, I've always heard that the second brother is very powerful, so if I plan to run away from home, I won't be enough alone, if the two of us leave the Cao family together, it will definitely be okay"

"So the elopement you just said is running away from home" Hong Shi's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe that elopement was actually the reason.

"That's right" The girl Cao Zhu smiled awkwardly, quite a kind of heart that was exposed.

It's just that what surprised Hong Shi was that the young girl in front of him would actually use the "beauty trick" to trick herself, if she hadn't asked two more words just now, she would have really taken the bait.

I don't know why Hong Shi has a feeling of cold sweat all over his body at this moment, such a young guy knows how to pit people, it is hard to imagine how "chicken thieves" the Cao family is.

If he wasn't from the Cao family, maybe he would be sold by them that day.

“……”

But now Hong Shi didn't mean to blame Cao Zhu, and his eyes were a little complicated after listening to Cao Zhu's experience just now.

Seeing the girl venting her irritability with stubborn dissatisfaction as if she was angry, in fact, she wanted to use this method to make her mother angry, so that she could see that she was a disobedient child and a bad child.

Hong Shi knew that this was just a moment of anger for the girl to vent her dissatisfaction.

If she wants her mother to change her mind, it is too difficult to get rid of her fate in this era of engagement and marriage, and her parents are matchmaking.

And as children, they can only hurt themselves in the hope that their parents can change their minds, but this is just their fantasy after all.

Changing one's fate in this big family environment, the final result is often resignation, and after a long time, under the influence of the surrounding environment, I got used to this kind of life and gradually integrated into it.

Hearing the girl say these words, she wants to make these practices that change her fate, and the final result is often involuntarily, and after a short period of contact, Hong Shi's heart rose with deep sympathy and helplessness.

He knew that in the end, the girl in front of him would still obey her parents' orders, no matter how many twists and turns she went through, no matter how many times she cried, no matter how many times she fled, as long as the person was still there, as long as the Cao family was still there, her fate would be difficult to change.

Gradually, Hong Shi looked at the girl in front of him again, and there was a little more pity in his eyes.

The courage to break one's own destiny, whether it succeeds in the end or not, it takes a great courage to do it in this era, and it is also this that makes Hongshi's view of the girl change a lot.

However, Hong Shi still took the opportunity to ask some doubts in his heart, after all, these things may never be contacted again in the future, maybe one day this matter will be connected with some inexplicable things.

Hong Shi continued to ask:

"What did you just say about going back to your parents' house? Isn't your mother's maiden home far from here?"

The girl's quiet answer:

"My mother's maiden home is in Anju, and it is said that the reason why my father fell in love with my mother was because I accidentally saw my mother on the way to visit my second brother's master, and then I grew up to the present."

"Can you still talk like this, just go and visit, and take a wife by the way, is this the charm of a big family" The corners of Hong Shi's mouth twitched, I didn't want to complain today, who knew that there were too many slots, and I couldn't stop it at all!

That's right, Anzhou.

Hong Shi suddenly remembered that a few hours ago, Qing'er pulled himself as if he was going to Anzhou after today, because my master was in Anzhou, so I went back to Anzhou.

I didn't expect the original owner to have a master.

Then Hong Shi thought of what Cao Zhu said that the three men in black had killed more than a dozen bandits with knives, but he didn't expect that ancient martial arts were so powerful, and he had to forget traditional Chinese kung fu if he lived in the era of modern thermal weapons for a long time.

But from this point of view, the three of them have very high martial arts, and they were sent to the yamen, so they can come back safely, I think this should not be the protection of the Cao family's secret faction, and it is difficult to save people if they are not relatives but do not want to repay them, it is really some "warm-hearted" and "jealous and hateful" martial arts masters, I can't figure it out.

"Which family are you talking about giving you an engagement?"

"It's the Wang family, that stubborn father seems to be some kind of Hanlin University scholar, in short, much taller than our family, my mother said that we actually climbed high," the girl said with resentment.

"Yes" Hong Shi nodded thoughtfully, now he doesn't know much about the official rank, so he can only nod his head to show that he is exaggerating.

"Then why do you fall in love with my second brother, don't you still have a big brother? No, why would you put this kind of thinking on your brothers at home"

"Eh" said this, the girl didn't seem to expect Cao Ange to ask this question, and hesitated for a while before answering embarrassedly:

"I used to read a book that was written about the home...... Well, that's it. So I think this can be ......"

Hearing this, Hong Shi's face was a little unnatural, and he was full of slander in his heart.

'Hey, hey, those you're reading are forbidden books!' What are you doing when a girl reads those books, this kind of forbidden book is usually impossible at home, where did you get it, you have to know how to share...... Phew, blah, blah, said wrong'

But Hong Shi still didn't say it, because he didn't know what to say, and it would be embarrassing to say more.

Seeing that Hong Shi didn't reply for a while, the girl was a little anxious, and after looking at Cao Ange several times, she mustered up the courage to ask shyly:

"Then second brother, do you agree...... Feelings can be cultivated slowly."

Hong Shi laughed dumbly.

At this girl's age, in the face of what the girl mustered up the courage to do, it is not easy to break her illusions, if it is the past self, what I can do is to let her maintain her desire for the future, and not let her be sad and disappointed.

Once, that year, I also missed a girl's appointment with me, and I still regret it.

So, Hong Shi walked to the side and saw a peach tree in full bloom, picked a delicate peach blossom with a particularly bright color, and inserted it in the girl's hair, touched her head and smiled:

"If that day comes, how about you come to find the second brother?"

"Really?"

The girl looked at Cao Ange excitedly and smiled unexpectedly.

"Really, the second brother can't lie"

"Great, second brother is amazing" The girl happily raised her hands and ran around Cao Ange, like a little girl.

What happened in this incident really surprised Hong Shi.

But it's actually quite fun to meet such an interesting girl after crossing over.

As for the real elopement, the result may not be satisfactory, and perhaps the girl will give up this idea before then.

Hongshi only hopes that that day will come indefinitely.

To be on the safe side, Hong Shi still told Cao Zhu to refuse her mother as before, after all, he couldn't be by Cao Zhu's side every day.

In addition, Hong Shi said that if the two eloped, they would suffer a lot of crimes, such as not being able to eat, not sleeping warmly, or something to scare the little girl, and the girl looked very scared, which made Hong Shi cry and laugh.

But it was that afternoon that a girl with a spring in her heart made a vow with another "trapped person" in the courtyard by the peach tree.

In the end, the two said goodbye and left.

However, after this, Hong Shi obviously noticed that after this incident, the two people, who had almost no contact, became much closer after today.

"Haven't made it to the backyard yet? Am I lost again, I knew I had just asked the girl, and now I don't know what her name is."

Saying goodbye to Cao Zhu, Hong Shi walked left and right for a long time, this time, Hong Shi, who had Cao Ange's body, felt a great sense of hunger, and regretted more and more why he didn't finish eating before leaving just now.

"Well, now I hope I don't see my sister or anything"

His body became weaker and weaker, and eventually, Hong Shi walked to a step and sat down, leaning against the wall on one side, and he really had no strength.

Squinting his eyes, he quietly waited in his heart for the servants or ladies who might come over in a while.

However, at this moment, a brisk footstep came to Hong Shi's ears.

Listening to the sound of footsteps, the owner seems to be a woman, walking briskly with a hint of urgency, by the feeling that he is not a subordinate, and he will not be a young lady (Hong Shi is purely blind, scaring himself).

Sure enough, the next moment's 'phobia of meeting a sister around the corner' instantly hit Hong Shi's heart, judging from the direction of the sound, it seemed to be running towards my position, Hong Shi instinctively stood up and wanted to run away.

But at this moment, the footsteps suddenly stopped behind him.
