Chapter 115

Lin Piao was so annoyed by these things that he couldn't stand it, and after being persuaded by the matchmaker for a few days, he simply pretended to be sick and lay down at home, on the grounds that he was too worried about Shen Hong and worried that he was sick.

As soon as this reason came out, the matchmakers who were surging in all directions immediately stopped, and another 10 percent lingered at the door, and they could only drink tea when they came in before being sent away.

Every day, he ate, slept, slept, and strolled around the yard when he was free, and the second aunt would go out every day to buy fresh vegetables and snacks and put them at home for him to eat, and the meals were also delivered by Xiaotongxilou.

The second aunt came back with a basket and saw him wandering back and forth in the courtyard again: "It's really a sin, and you can't even get out of the door, and everyone is going to be suffocated." ”

Lin Piao was a little respectful of the fact that he was forced to go to prison: "Actually, it's not a big deal, and it's over after dealing with it, but there are too many people, several a day, and the back and forth of the car is going to make my ears calloused." ”

The second aunt also sighed, "You are also a blessing, you look at my two pillars, how can anyone look at us, we are waterlogged, waterlogged, drought, drought, drought." ”

"Auntie, when it comes to Erzhu's marriage, if he is in high school this time, don't be in a hurry to set up a family affair for him, and after he has been training for a year and a half, there will be a first-official and half-time official who will sit firmly, and it will be more appropriate to find relatives."

If he doesn't win, he will have to wait until he has done something first and has an official position or military merits, after all, he is still young, and when everything is appropriate, he will only be about 20 years old.

But the second aunt was carrying a small basket next to her, and when she heard what he said, she was a little dumbfounded: "Can this be done if you get married so late?" ”

She originally thought that seventeen or eighteen would be appropriate, after all, she was going to take the martial arts exam, and she had to take something before she could take the exam, but this was all going to twenty, and other people's children could play soy sauce.

"Auntie, you believe me, you can succeed, one is to choose well, choose one that combines the two pillars, and the other is that the higher he goes, the better he can find."

The second aunt nodded: "I don't expect him to find a daughter, if he has a good temperament, don't marry in and make trouble all day long, just live a good life, you see those in our original village, if you can live a good life, you have to be willing to work by men, women run the house, and the two of them will live together together, those men and lazy women are greedy, and they are not happy here all day long, so they are thinking that I am most afraid of looking for trouble, and I want to find a suitable one, both of them are good, and only then can there be hope for the days to come, and only then can I live a good life." ”

Lin Piao nodded, but he didn't expect the second aunt's standard to be so simple, he thought that after Erzhu was hit, she would want Erzhu to marry someone with a good background.

What about Shen Hong? What kind of person is Shen Hong suitable to marry? Lin Piao really didn't know what to do, and he could only make a decision with Shen Hong, after all, Shen Hong had always been the kind of person with a clear goal in his life plan.

The two of them waited at home like this, eating and drinking tea day by day, which was difficult to say, but it was nine days in a blink of an eye.

The day before she went to pick up Shen Hong, Mrs. Zhizhou sent someone to tell him in advance, saying that she understood the hard work of him and Shen Hong, prepared a carriage for them, and asked the two little maids beside Mrs. to follow them to pick them up so that they could help them with the cooking.

Lin Piao was simply sweating, and there was a feeling that Shen Hong was already Mrs. Zhizhou's quasi-son-in-law, and this mother-in-law's love for her son-in-law was simply not too strong.

After knowing that there were two students on their side, the maid immediately asked people to go back to the Zhizhou Mansion and prepare a carriage with a small servant to pick up the second pillar.

Moreover, Mrs. Zhizhou's name stood very upright, and the words "loving talents" and helping poor students were engraved on her face, Lin Piao had no reason to refuse, and on the second day, they calculated that the time had arrived early, and the two maids of the Zhizhou Mansion had prepared some pastries and soft porridge and other things in the car, but Lin Piao did not prepare anything, but just boiled two large pots full of hot water at home, stewed a stove of chicken soup, and waited for them to go back to take a bath.

When the sun had set over the hill and the sky was already beginning to turn gray, the door of the Gongyuan was opened, and the students inside wandered out one after another like zombies.

One by one, the scholars and slaves were waiting outside, and when they saw their young master coming out, they hurriedly went up and helped them to hold them or carry them on their backs, and directly transported them back to the carriage or the nearby inn.

Lin Piao looked for Shen Hong's voice in the crowd, and then saw him coming from the crowd, with a long body, and he could see it at a glance in the crowd.

His face was not much different from when he went in, only his lips were a little pale, and his state looked okay, he glanced around the crowd, and after seeing Lin Piao's figure, he walked towards them quickly.

Lin Piao stepped forward and stretched out his hand to support him: "Are you okay?" ”

"Nothing."

Lin Piao looked at his state and looked at him well, but his sharp eyes found that his sleeves were stained with some pen and ink, you must know that he is not a person who will stain his sleeves when he writes in a daze, so it can be seen that he is still working hard in the Gongyuan.

"I've boiled water at home, let's go home and take a shower first."

"Okay."

Shen Hong was not in a very good state, and he couldn't say too much, but the moment he saw his sister-in-law, the string that had been tense in his heart was finally loosened, and he suddenly relaxed, making him a little tired, but he still stepped into the carriage first, thanked the two maids from the Zhizhou Mansion one by one, and then closed his eyes and recuperated, and when he arrived at the door of his own small courtyard, he got out of the carriage first, stood beside the carriage, and turned his head to reach out to pick up his sister-in-law.

Lin Piao stretched out his hand to him, he grabbed Lin Piao's forearm, and took him down, and the two maids were a little surprised to watch them move like this, but they didn't show it, but they just said that Shen Hong should rest well and take care of his body, and now there are some good gastrodia in the house, and it is excellent to send some to them to stew chicken tomorrow.

Shen Hong did not refuse, and after thanking them one by one, the two returned to the courtyard.

Lin Piao stepped forward to lift the lid and added a scoop of cold water to each of them, and the boiling water suddenly calmed down, and on the small charcoal stove on the other side, there was a large casserole that did not match its size, filled with two chickens and a large pot of soup.

"Let's take a shower first, then drink some chicken soup to warm up your body, and the tight hot water will be good for a while."

Shen Hong nodded, stepped forward to help, prepared the water himself, and then went back to the house to take a bath.

Halfway through, Erzhu and his second aunt also returned, and Erzhu also insisted on taking a shower first, but he was in a hurry to eat and did not plan to wash carefully.

"I'll scrub and scrub first, and I'll wash it carefully tomorrow during the day, otherwise my hair won't dry."

"Okay, then I'll give you a bowl of soup to cool first, this chicken fat is thick, and the soup can't be warmed for a long time, and I'll give Shen Hong the rest of the hot water to use?"

"Okay, send it to Shen Hong, he loves cleanliness, I guess it's uncomfortable." Saying that, Erzhu called out again: "Mother, when the pot is empty, give me a handful of noodles, the chicken soup is thick and fragrant." ”

"There's rice, what kind of noodles are you reading!"

"I'm thinking about it right now."

The hot water was all put into the wooden barrel, Lin Piao couldn't move, Erzhu helped him send it all to Shen Hong's house, Lin Piao dried a bowl of chicken soup for Shen Hong outside, and put a big chicken leg for him inside, sat at the table and drank the soup and waited, but after waiting for a while, he didn't see Shen Hong come out, and he didn't hear any sound of water.

Lin Piao walked to the door of Shen Hong's house and knocked lightly: "Shen Hong? ”

There was no sound answer.

Lin Piao felt a little strange, and screamed again, but still without any answer, he pushed the door open lightly.

Glancing through the crack in the door, Shen Hong was facing this side in the bathtub, his hair was scattered and draped on his back, only the part that was stained with water was wet, and the hair on his head was still dry.

What is this washing?

Lin Piao walked in slowly, and saw that Shen Hong's shoulders and backs exposed on the edge of the bathtub were basically motionless, and when he got a little closer, he found that he had fallen asleep leaning in the tub with his eyes closed.

A lot of bath beans were added to the water, and all the bubbles made by boiling it with hot water floated on the surface of the water in a thin layer.

It was the first time he had seen Shen Hong so tired, and he didn't know how many sleeps he had slept in the past nine days and nine nights. Sleepiness became like this.

Lin Piao leaned over and looked at his face, there was a little drop of water on his cheeks, his eyes were closed, and his long eyelashes were drenched with moisture, looking extremely fragile.

Lin Piao lay on the edge of the bucket, his fingers dipped in bubbles and smeared on the tip of his nose.

He whispered, "Aren't you too shy?" Why don't you wake up, wake up and see, I'll you off. ”

Lin Piao observed his expression, and saw that he really had no intention of waking up, so he turned around and lightly added the bucket of hot water to the ladle, adding it while touching the water temperature, and put the ladle back into the bucket when the water temperature was more comfortable.

Lin Piao stood behind Shen Hong, took the water from his palm and slowly moistened his hair, and brushed his long hair with his fingers and soaked it in water.

The hair is so nice .

None of them are knotted.

There was a gentle knock on the door outside, and Lin Piao poured a handful of water on Shen Hong's head and poured it down gently, before he walked to the door and opened the door a crack.

When the second aunt saw that he had been coming in for a long time, she asked him in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Lin Piao said softly: "I'm too tired, I'm asleep, I'll brush his hair, it is estimated that he will wake up in a while, you can eat first." ”

The second aunt nodded: "You still need hot water, you say, the idle stove in the pot is hot again." ”

"It's enough now, but there's still half a bucket of hot water left."

Shen Hong leaned back in the tub, his sleeping eyelashes trembled, and he opened his eyes slightly, hearing the sound outside.

When the sister-in-law and sister-in-law finished speaking, the door creaked softly, and when it closed, the light footsteps came step by step behind them.

The water beside him swayed, and the warm water slowly fell on his hair and ticked on his shoulder.

Shen Hong didn't open his eyes.

But the heart beats fast.

The hands slowly ran through his hair behind his back, interspersed it in his hair, and then gently applied the shampoo mixed with hot water to his hair.

The hot water just mixed powder paste was a little hot near the skin, and the sister-in-law rubbed it a little bit between the hair with her fingertips.

The hands ran down his hair, dipped in the water, and then suddenly landed on his shoulders.

He heard Lin Piao muttering behind him.

"I'll go, this shoulder is really wide, and the skeleton is really good."

"If you want to match the practice of the two pillars, it won't become a double door?"

Sister-in-law was touching his shoulder.

Lin Piao's fingers reached forward and touched Shen Hong's Adam's apple, thinking that this Adam's apple was really right.

Lin Piao sighed.

It's a pity that he has lost his Adam's apple, you must know that although his Adam's apple was not as obvious as Shen Hong's before, it is also true, and now his Adam's apple is basically a little more undulating than that of a woman.

Just as I was feeling it hard, and I wanted to pinch it, I heard a deep voice.

"Sister-in-law."

Lin Piao was startled and immediately retracted his hand.

"What is my sister-in-law doing?"

"Wash your hair." Lin Piao is right.

Shen Hong was silent for a while before he said, "Why didn't that sister-in-law continue." ”

Lin Piao immediately poured water on his head, grabbed his head and said after a busy work: "After washing, I'll go and add some cold water to the bucket for you, and you can rinse it again with clean water later." ”

"Hmm."

Lin Piao walked out of the house, added two large spoonfuls of cold water and a spoonful of hot water to him, and put a full bucket next to him: "Hurry up and wash it out and eat, don't be hungry." ”

Shen Hong turned his head and glanced at him, his eyes were so cold and complicated, Lin Piao felt that he was really a little angry, although it was not a big deal, but Shen Hong, this kid, took these things very seriously, Lin Piao didn't want to provoke him, and quickly retreated.

Shen Hong tilted his head slightly against the wall of the tub and closed his eyes in some pain.

He couldn't restrain himself a little.

Sister-in-law's hand was scooping water next to him, and he almost wanted to grab his hand.

Shen Hong's hand rested on the wall of the bathtub, his fingers were thin and long, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were slightly convex, slowly clenched into a fist, and the hand sank into the water, relieving the loss of control in the darkness in his sight.

Lin Piao waited outside for a while, but he didn't see Shen Hong come out, he had already drunk a bowl of chicken soup, Shen Hong's bowl was warm, and it would be cold if he dried it again, so he got up and urged.

However, this time Lin Piao learned wisely, and did not push the door in, but just knocked on the door outside and asked: "Are you okay, the food is going to be cold." ”

"It's coming."

Shen Hong's voice was a little inexplicably hoarse, probably because he was a little uncomfortable with the cold, and although the weather was not cold, he couldn't wash it all the time.

"Why are you so verbose, I can wash you off the cold this day."

There was silence for a while, and suddenly called him.
