He stood up: "Then don't bother the girl, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Yao suddenly turned his head to look at him and interrupted: "You don't even have a copper plate on you, where can you go?" It's better to do this, you help me work, and I will take care of your food and lodging, but you can only live in the firewood room, and it will not be a problem for you to clean up and move a bed into it for a while, and you can leave after the imperial examination next year. ”

Zhou Zheng looked at Shen Yao, as if there was light flickering on her body at the moment.

Hurriedly nodded: "Okay!" I can work, and the girl will do whatever I am told to do. ”

Shen Yao moved his bowl of porridge over: "Then let's eat." ”

Zhou Zheng has long been hungry and panicked, but he is a literati, and if he reads more books, he will have more stupid courtesies, even if he is hungry, he will chew slowly and taste slowly.

Eating a salted duck egg and closing my eyes and reminiscing about it, I don't know what kind of delicacies I thought it was.

Shen Yao couldn't help laughing several times.

It seems to have found a little fool to come back.

But this week is really Zhouzheng.

At night, Shen Yao turned off the lights and went to sleep, and he could still see the lights in the firewood room, listen carefully and the sound of reading aloud, but he seemed to be able to lower the volume.

Shen Yao fell asleep quickly with the sound of his reading, and as soon as she opened the door in the morning, the door to dismantle the room automatically opened, and then Zhou Zheng would raise a big smile at her and say, "Morning, girl." ”

“... You didn't sleep?"

"After a few hours of sleep, does the girl want to cook? I'll pick vegetables for you. ”

"Don't call me a girl, if you don't want to call me shameless, you can call me Shen Yao or A-Yao."

Zhou Zheng showed a look of sudden realization on his face, and then smiled stupidly: "Shen, Yao, it's really good." ”

Shen Yao blushed and hurriedly ran to the kitchen to cook.

Zhou Zheng knew that the sender had to be diligent under the fence, so he took care of all the work, in short, Shen Yao didn't need to worry about firewood at all, and watering the crops in the field, or feeding the poultry she raised, all of which Shen Yao didn't have to worry about.

She only needs to be responsible for his three meals a day.

I thought that I would be bored if I didn't have a job, but in fact, this week seems to have endless energy.

After finishing the work, she can still find time to memorize and read aloud, Shen Yao then heard that she would pick it up, and Zhou Zheng knew that Shen Yao was not a peasant woman, she could read and write, and she could write beautiful words, and she was smarter than many people.

They often talk about literary writers, and they talk out of control, and often the food is cold and they haven't finished talking yet.

After a long time, Shen Yao is also used to having someone talk to her, although sometimes she will nag too much, but it is still within the scope of bearing.

Later, she found that Zhou Zheng didn't care about his appearance at all, whether she wore a veil or not, he would not show the slightest change in expression, and then she would feel that Shen Yao was too thin, and volunteered to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms to replenish her body.

But once he picked the poison and was poisoned by eating it himself.

was so frightened that Shen Yao thought he was going to die, and half of the crying grave was dug for him, but fortunately, Shen Xian took Ah Feng to visit, and Ah Feng saved Zhou Zheng with his rich experience.

Shen Xian pulled Shen Yao and didn't give up: "This is your sweetheart?" ”

Shen Yao blushed: "What a sweetheart, second sister, don't tease me." ”

"It's not your sweetheart, why are you crying?"

"I..." Shen Yao stomped his feet: "The scientific examination is going to be carried out soon, and he will leave soon, what is not the heart of the sweetheart..."

There was a hint of loneliness in her expression.

Shen Xian: "The scientific examination is not to roast him, and the person is not dead, in case he is admitted and comes back to marry you, are you willing?" ”

Shen Yao didn't answer, just lowered her head and looked at her toes.

She doesn't know, she doesn't even know if she likes Zhou Zheng.

She only liked one person, and that person became her brother-in-law, but she just liked it, but she didn't treat Zhou Zheng like she did to Shi Ling before.

But it feels very special and strange.

Until the day Zhou Zheng left, she didn't figure it out, just looked at her back, she suddenly felt very lonely and lonely, and wanted him to come back.

But she didn't say anything, just closed the door and sat in the room for a day.

Her days seem to have returned to when Zhou Zheng didn't come, very fulfilling, but much more boring than before.

Her orange tree didn't feed.

It seems that the land is not good, and the orange tree died before it even blooms, and she is a little discouraged, thinking that she will be able to eat oranges this year.

I don't know if it's intentional or not, Shen Yao is secretly counting the days of the end of the imperial examination with his fingers.

Suddenly found that it had been several days since the end of the imperial examination, and Zhou Zheng had not appeared.

Probably the man won't come back at all.

He will definitely be able to pass the exam if he works so hard, he is going to be a big official, why is he still looking for her?

For the first time, Shen Yao actually had insomnia that day, and stayed up until dawn with her eyes closed.

When she opened the door with dark circles under her eyes, a person suddenly fell in at her feet, and the person suddenly woke up from the pain, raised his head and looked at her pitifully: "You are awake." ”

“... Zhou Zheng..."

"yes, you're not going to forget about me for the past few days, are you?"

Shen Yao licked her lips and turned her head away: "What are you doing here?" Didn't get in? ”

Zhou Zheng suddenly grinned, no different from his usual smile, he took out a bright yellow edict from his arms and handed it over, saying: "I was caught in the list, and I was summoned by His Majesty when I entered the palace not long ago, saying that I would join the Criminal Department in a few days, work under King Xuan, and have been given a place to live." ”

Shen Yao didn't know what mood she was in, but she wasn't unhappy after all.

"Then why didn't you go?"

Zhou Zheng suddenly restrained his smile, flushed up his cheeks, and it took a long time before he said, "I... I want to go with you. ”

Shen Yao's breath stagnated, and she looked at him for some reason.

But when he gritted his teeth, he mustered up the courage to look at him, and his whole body was still trembling: "I... I mean, I... I think..."

"Oops! I won't say anything! ”

He grabbed his hair in annoyance, but Shen Yao lowered his head and smiled.

"It's better to... You should first ask a matchmaker to go to the Guogong Mansion. ”

Zhou Zheng was overjoyed, and then stupid.

"Why did you go to the Guogong Mansion? You're the one I'm going to marry! ”

Shen Yao glanced at him with shame: "Guogong is my father, so I naturally want him to see my marriage." ”

Zhou Zheng's eyes widened, swallowed his saliva, and promised solemnly: "I will not disappoint your father, I will be good to you, I... I'll go find a matchmaker right away! You wait for me, you must wait for me! ”

As he spoke, he went down the mountain in a panic and prepared to find the matchmaker.

Shen Yao leaned against the door and looked at him and smiled for a long time.

She had waited for a long time, and it was not a moment.
