Chapter 51: Temptation to Shift Goals
Zhou Yao, who was kicked out of Chen's mansion again the day before yesterday, returned home with her child in her arms.
Ping'an Lane is remote, and the people here don't know what happened to Zhou Yao at the door of Chen's house.
Seeing Zhou Yao come back, the women who were sitting by the well in the alley while doing laundry hurriedly called out to her.
"Zhou Niangzi, I didn't see you early in the morning, and I didn't come back until noon, where are you?"
Zhou Yao was very disgusted with these ignorant women asking about her own affairs, but it was not good for her to live here and not associate with everyone.
She patted the child in her arms, "It's not that Chen'er is sick again, I'll take him to see the doctor." ”
"I see, no wonder I look at you with a lost look......"
"It's said that children are like this when they are young, and everyone comes from that time, so don't worry too much."
Zhou Yao nodded, "Then aunts, I'll go home and rest first, and we'll talk about it later." ”
"Okay, okay, let's go back!"
When Zhou Yao turned around, these women continued the topic before Zhou Yao came.
"Hey, where did I just go?"
"Speaking of which, let's guess, who is the He Gongzi who bought Aunt Li's family?"
"Ah, yes," the fat woman continued, "guess what's the origin of this He Gongzi?" ”
"I tell you, it's too ...... Who would have thought that such a character would live in our ordinary alley? ”
"Who the hell is it, don't just whet people's appetites!"
The women no longer cared about the clothes in their hands, but stared at the fat woman.
After all, Ping'an Lane is not big, and there is no woman from the street to the end of the street who is not curious about this He Gongzi.
There are many men in the world, but there are very few good-looking men, and even fewer are tall and handsome.
Such a man lives in Ping'an Lane, and he doesn't know how much pond water he stirred.
"I used to glimpse Zhou Niangzi's father-in-law from afar, and he was also a beautiful man, but standing with this He Gongzi, it was a little inadequate."
"I said fat aunt, what about He Gongzi, what do you say others do, hurry up, what is the origin of He Gongzi?"
Everyone is in a hurry.
"Listen, this He Gongzi...... He is the eldest son of the He Guo family! ”
"What?" Several people's laundry tubs were overturned.
"Fat aunt, you're not kidding, are you?"
"The eldest son of the He Guogong family, why does he live here with us?"
"Why can't people live with us?" The fat aunt said, "The people of Ping'an Lane are simple and the neighborhood is harmonious. ”
"I didn't mean that, I mean, such a noble son, it's good to live in the Guogong Mansion, why live in Ping'an Lane?"
The fat aunt said mysteriously, "I heard that the family arranged a marriage that I didn't like, so the eldest prince He left Beijing, and it was ......three years to leave."
"This is not about to export He Guogong's fiftieth birthday, He Dagongzi will come back quietly, ready to congratulate Guogong on his birthday and then leave......"
"It doesn't have to be," said a thinner woman, "that he is a man, and even if he doesn't like this business, it is ...... to marry first and then marry something else."
"You don't understand, this He Gongzi is an infatuated species, you have to find a favorite white-headed old together!" The fat aunt shook her head.
"It's rare......"
Many women feel that He Zhiqiu is the clear stream of the family.
And after listening to these discussions, Zhou Yao's eyes flashed with a strange light.
It turned out that the person next door turned out to be the son of He Guogong's family.
Zhou Yao, who was accustomed to seeing Fengyue, immediately freed herself from the anxiety caused by Chen Shao'an's delay in appearing.
When she got home, she put down the child in her arms who was still not awake, and she began to prepare the chicken soup.
Her favorite dish is chicken soup.
As soon as it got dark, she immediately came to the next door with chicken soup.
I saw that He Zhiqiu was about to go out, and the two were walking opposite.
"Gongzi He, are you going out so late?" Zhou Yao asked softly.
"Zhou Niangzi, it's you, what's the matter?" He Zhiqiu looked at the beautiful young woman in front of him.
From just one look at the other party, he judged that this woman was interesting to him.
At this point, He Zhiqiu has always been very confident, and every woman who sees him will fall in love with him in the end.
But this woman had come at an inopportune time, and he could not tell her that he would be in a hurry to go to the gambling house.
In the half month since he returned to Beijing, He Zhiqiu has been in a mess.
Nine out of ten bets are won, and life is simply not too smooth.
He was very excited to see that he could buy his father the most expensive gift if he gambled two more.
"I didn't know that my son was going out, but it was not the right time for me to come."
Zhou Yao handed over the chicken soup with some apologies.
"I made a lot of chicken soup tonight, and I thought I would come to give a bowl to my son, so I should thank you for saving me on the street that day."
"Zhou Niangzi, you came at the right time, otherwise I will have to go outside to find something to eat......"
He Zhiqiu took the chicken soup in Zhou Yao's hand without hesitation, sniffed his nose and said, "I haven't smelled such fragrant chicken soup for a long time,"
After speaking, he took a few bites of chicken soup in the bowl.
Zhou Yao watched his throat roll, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Delicious!"
After drinking the soup, He Zhiqiu didn't forget to praise, "If anyone can marry a beautiful and virtuous lady like Zhou Niangzi, it will really be the best blessing in the world." ”
Who knew that after he said this, Zhou Yao's face darkened.
"What, did I say something wrong?" He Zhiqiu didn't know why she was like this.
Zhou Yao hurriedly explained, "No, it has nothing to do with Childe, it's just that I'm suddenly a little sad." ”
"Zhou Niangzi, I drank your chicken soup, I am your friend, if you have any troubles, you can talk to me, if there is something that can help......"
"No," Zhou Yao shook his head, "Childe, you saved Zhou Yao's life, which is already a great help!" ”
"Zhou Niangzi, it seems that in addition to being a life-saving benefactor in your heart, I am neither a neighbor nor a friend, it seems that I am self-inflicted."
He Zhiqiu said, "I was abrupt just now, the soup is delicious, Zhou Niangzi, I'll take a step first......
captured the self-deprecation and sourness in He Zhiqiu's tone, but Zhou Yao was overjoyed.
This man, hooked!
She hurriedly grabbed He Zhiqiu, who was about to leave, "Childe, I, I don't have the intention to refuse your kindness......"
"It's really all my private matter, take it out and listen to it with my son, which makes people look down on me."
After speaking, a tear slipped from her eyes, and the appearance of pear blossoms with rain was so distressing.
"Zhou Niangzi, don't cry, I didn't mean to be angry with you just now, I'll make amends to you."
Seeing that he had apologized, Zhou Yao's tears still couldn't stop flowing.
He Zhiqiu said, "There is something to ask Mrs. Zhou, I see that your cooking skills are so good, and I am new to the situation and I am alone and no one takes care of me, I wonder if I can still drink the soup you made tomorrow?" ”
Zhou Yao did not respond, but silently returned to her home while wiping her tears.
However, on the second day, she appeared at He Zhiqiu's door again with a sumptuous food box......
