Chapter 16: Jealousy
I saw Shen Fei take Cheng Yunru to the west of the Moon Tower, and said to Cheng Yunru with a smile, "I'll go in later, and I'll bring you some delicious food when I see it." ”
Cheng Yunru said angrily after hearing this, "No, you take me with you." ”
"It's such a big place, how can you hide two people, little sister is good, I went up and saw that as soon as they were served, I immediately came down with a plate, and never took a bite first. And there has to be someone in this wind. ”
Cheng Yunru had no choice but to agree after hearing this.
The first floor of the Moon Tower is full of lobby, the second floor is four boxes, the four boxes are also named, respectively called the first quarter moon, the second quarter moon, the full moon and the new moon, the west side of the box is the new moon, today there is a distinguished guest to come, so the dish is prepared early, just wait for the guests to come to the food.
Shen Fei's original plan was to wear a face towel and wait on the beam of the room, and when all the dishes were served, he went down and ordered everyone's acupoints, and then left with the plate. Who knew that this dish had not yet been served, Shen Fei had just jumped on the roof of the upper floor, poked his head out to see what was going on in the house, and there was already a girl standing there waiting, looking at Shen Fei with a surprised face at this time.
Shen Fei was also embarrassed, originally if this was a big man with five big and three thick, he would have gone up and knocked him unconscious. It's just that she is still a gentle and lovely girl, Shen Fei is naturally embarrassed to be rude, and was about to leave to change rooms, but the girl actually stopped him.
"Wait a minute, I'm afraid I'm hungry." The girl spoke softly and gently. Immediately, I saw her take out a few pastries from a brocade box, wrap them in a handkerchief, and hand them to Shen Fei.
Of course, Shen Fei knew what this girl meant, this was treating him as a hungry beggar who climbed the window to steal food. Shen Fei took the pastry and thanked him repeatedly. Just as he was about to go down again, the girl stopped him again, "Come back in a while, I have a lot of food here, and I can't finish it alone." ”
After hearing this, Shen Fei asked curiously, "Are you alone?" ”
"Well, I'm the only one in this room." Shen Fei nodded again and again after hearing this, and then jumped down.
At this time, a maid walked into the room, looked at the open brocade box and said with a smile: "Miss, this is hungry, I'll let the kitchen hurry up, don't let Miss be hungry anymore." ”
"It's not in the way, I'm not hungry, just now there was a little beggar who was really hungry, climbed to the window and wanted to come in and steal some food, I saw that he was about the same age as me and came out to beg, I couldn't bear it, so I took a few pastries to him."
After hearing this, the maid first praised Miss for her kindness, and then said that the world is chaotic now, and she knows people and faces, but she doesn't know her heart, so don't deal with these people. The young lady only smiled when she heard this, and then stopped talking.
Cheng Yunru downstairs heard the conversation above, and smiled back and forth, "I feel that you didn't steal this pastry by your own ability, but someone gave it." ”
Shen Fei smiled and blushed, and then took a piece of pastry and ate it, it was really much better than the dry food, and the two of them finished eating it after a while.
"Will you go up later?"
"Of course, go up, such a delicious thing, such a little bit is enough. And there is a soft-spoken girl in it, which is really touching. ”
Cheng Yunru said sourly, where did he want to eat pastries, he obviously fell in love with that girl. Shen Fei laughed at this, and said that people are indeed very moving.
The two of them were just waiting downstairs while talking boringly, and suddenly heard a loud voice inside, "I'm so full, I'm done eating." The loud voice startled the maidservant, and the young lady usually spoke softly, how could she have spoken so loudly.
Shen Fei naturally knew that this was a code for him, so he tiptoed to the second floor. When I looked around, I found that there was only one girl in the room.
When the girl saw him, she waved him in. "I don't have anything to hold for these foods, you can bring some pastries after you finish eating here."
Shen Fei turned over, jumped in, and then asked timidly, "Can I ask my friends to eat with me?" Just by himself, he hasn't eaten for a long time. The girl naturally didn't care, so Shen Fei ran to the window and shouted Cheng Yunru, Cheng Yunru saw Shen Fei calling her up, so she pretended not to know martial arts and climbed up slowly.
As soon as the girl saw Cheng Yunru, she said, "It turned out to be a girl, what has this troubled world made you look like." Shen Fei held back a smile as he ate.
When the girl saw that the two of them were eating happily, she stopped talking, but watched quietly. At this time, the maidservant girl was about to come in, and when she saw that the door was locked, she asked what had happened to the young lady, and the girl made an excuse and prevaricated. Then the maidservant said to the house, "The master said that he still has a while, and if the young lady is bored, she will go back to the house first." Hearing the girl's voice, she was not in a hurry, and the maidservant went away.
After a while, the girl saw that the two of them had almost eaten, and then continued, "How long have you been begging, and you don't seem to be very old." ”
"I've been begging for two years, I'm my brother, I'm almost 17 this year, this is my sister, I'm just 16 this year, we fled from Shunde. Parents can't be found. ”
"You brother and sister are so close in age, huh? Anyway, I'm 16 years old this year, so it's really fate."
How did Shen Fei know that she was pregnant in October, or Cheng Yunru hurriedly explained that they were just cousins.
The girl walked out of the window again and muttered to herself: "The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, the world is so chaotic, and I don't know if I can celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival next year." ”
"It's not the Dragon Boat Festival that year, and now there are dragon boats on the street, and there are lantern riddles by the river, and the lanterns are so lively," Cheng Yunru said happily.
"I haven't been out for a long time, either at the house or at dinner with my father, who is worried about my safety and will not let me stay too far from him for almost a moment."
When Shen Fei heard this, he said with deep sympathy, "That's quite boring, if I was locked up at home every day, I would definitely run out." ”
After hearing this, the girl's face showed yearning, and then she sighed. Several people were silent for a while, and Shen Fei stood up first, "Thank you for the girl's hospitality today, he will have the opportunity to reward himself in the future." ”
When the girl heard this, she smiled, "It's all leftovers, where is it a treat, if you are hungry at night, you can come to my house secretly, and I will make the kitchen ready and wait for you." I just don't know if you can enter the courtyard at home, and there are some people from the Governor's House. ”
"Since I was a child, I have been going through the yards of large families to steal food, and this is easy to do." Shen Fei said with a smile.
"That's good, the house is the third to last on Dongzhi Street, Feng Mansion, the third room in the west of the backyard of the house is my house." After the girl finished speaking, she suddenly slapped her head, "I don't know what your name is, my name is Feng Wan'er." ”
Shen Fei patted his chest, "My name is Shen Fei, and her name is Cheng Yunru." ”
Then the three of them exchanged a few words, and Shen Fei took Cheng Yunru through the window and left. The two thought that they had nothing to do, so they went directly to the lantern riddle club to play. On the way, Cheng Yunru kept talking about Shen Fei sourly, and when she saw the beautiful girl, she couldn't walk anymore.
This is actually not to blame Shen Fei, firstly, Feng Wan'er herself is very beautiful, secondly, he has been exposed to the violent temper of his master and sister since he was a child, and then he met Cheng Yunru, who is also a knife-mouthed person, and now when he sees such a gentle and lovely girl, he will naturally look at him differently.
And Cheng Yunru is indeed a little jealous, after getting along during this time, she herself doesn't know when she has slowly become accustomed to relying on Shen Fei, she doesn't know what kind of relationship this is, she just thinks it is admiration, but when she heard Shen Fei praise other girls, her heart was sour.
Shen Fei didn't know anything about the relationship between men and women, and at this time, he just thought that Feng Wan'er had a good voice and wanted to hear her talk more. And he himself didn't know when it started, and he was used to listening to Cheng Yunru's words, but he only listened to Cheng Yunru when he was resourceful and right.
The two of them had their own careful thoughts at the lantern festival, and they didn't have a lot of fun, plus the beggar's clothes they were wearing, they were inevitably treated coldly, and naturally they were even more angry when they played. Then the two of them didn't wait for the lantern festival to end, and went straight to Feng's mansion.
When he arrived at Feng's mansion, Shen Fei still said that Cheng Yunru would watch the wind outside, and he would go in to get food. Cheng Yunru said that she didn't do anything, scolded Shen Fei for being forgetful, and finally said directly, they are pretending to be beggars, not real beggars, if they really want to eat, they will buy it.
Shen Fei couldn't help it, so he agreed to go in together.
The two climbed over the fence, and after a while, they arrived at the inner courtyard, and after a little inquiry, they found Feng Wan'er's house. Immediately, he knocked a few times as if he were knocking a secret signal outside.
I saw the door open suddenly, Feng Wan'er covered her stomach and said with a smile, "Don't knock, no one will come except you now, I will know that it is you as soon as the door rings." ”
Shen Fei walked into Feng Wan'er's boudoir, saw the food on the table at a glance, and shouted Cheng Yunru to come over to eat.
This Shen Fei pretended to be a beggar and pretended to be real, and this gobbling posture was really like not eating the meal at noon, Cheng Yunru was not very hungry, so he chewed and ate slowly.
Feng Wan'er smiled and said to Shen Fei, "Brother Shen, don't worry, there are many here, no one will rob you." Then he said sadly, "I really envy you to go wherever you want, I really want to go out and have a look, wait for a while." ”
Shen Fei took a piece of braised pork in his mouth and said, "Then go out to play, I'll take you with me, and I guarantee that no one in this Feng Mansion knows, and I'll come back early tomorrow morning, go hurry up now, the lantern festival is not over yet." ”
"It's not easy for you to take Sister Cheng with you, can you take me again?"
"If you don't believe me, just follow me for a while, and if you are discovered, you will shout for help, even if I am arrested as a thief, I promise not to damage the girl's reputation."
"Brother Shen is serious, what I'm afraid of is not my reputation, but if I am caught, I may not even be able to get out of the house."
"Feng Guniang, just rest assured, I still have this ability." Feng Wan'er immediately came to her senses after hearing this, and ran to pack her things. At this time, Cheng Yunru's vinegar jar had already been overturned, and she said to Feng Wan'er that it wouldn't take long to watch a lantern meeting, and she didn't need to bring anything, Feng Wan'er stopped cleaning up when she heard it, and waited quietly for Shen Fei to finish eating.
