5 Chapter 5
"I knew he was a scumbag."
Feng Zhiyu was sitting on Feng Juncheng's couch when he said this, patiently tearing the orange on the orange, "I haven't had a room with him for more than a year, and I haven't talked to him for two or three months, if it weren't for coming back this time to celebrate the birthday of my ancestor, I wouldn't have bothered him." β
Feng Juncheng was shocked and sat down beside Feng Zhiyu, "What does this mean?" You slept in a separate room with him? The Huang family doesn't have a second word? β
"It's been a while."
Feng Zhiyu divided half of his orange, looked at his neatly trimmed five fingers, and smiled slightly, "My father-in-law also knows his virtues, and he is obedient to me, but his mother dotes on this son, causing me to take over such a man, and my son is not born, so it is like being a mother." If he wants to fool around outside, I will go with him, and I will eat and live well in the Huang family, and I will be in charge of his home in the future. β
He sighed and said, "If you say that, I don't know whether to worry or worry." β
She smiled again: "I don't have to tell my father, I'm different from you, I'm a concubine, my father and mother treat me well, I can't be grateful, it's my own to marry and live a good life, what's the use of telling my family." To tell you the truth, I wish Huang Ruixiang was sick and died outside, why do you think I don't want to have sex with him? β
When Feng Zhiyu said this, Feng Juncheng looked out of the house, only the shadow of the flower was swaying, but fortunately no one listened.
Feng Zhiyu was amused, and refilled some tea for both of them, "I haven't seen you for a year, how can you grow a lot, Feng Juren is going to read himself as an old master?" Instead of feeling sorry for me, you should treat Ruomei well in the future. β
mentioned Liu Ruomei, Feng Juncheng suddenly fell silent, and Feng Zhiyu said, "But you are not a prostitute and you are not addicted to gambling, you are a good husband who is difficult to find with a lantern." β
Feng Juncheng said: "My classmate Jiang Zhiheng is a person like me. β
"Him?" Feng Zhiyu knew him, "You grew up together, will I not know his virtues?" Acting frivolously, how can you be half safe? β
Feng Juncheng smiled and didn't answer the words, looked at some worries, picked up the teacup and took a sip, as if he saw another woman from the misfortune of a poor woman.
Just mentioned Liu Ruomei, and a maid came from outside, saying that Miss Liu congratulated the old lady on her birthday, and I heard that the second sister was also in Fenglai Pavilion and was coming here.
Feng Zhiyu lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea, then smiled: "I knew she would come, why don't I leave and leave you two to talk for a while?" It's also good to relieve the lovesickness of your unmarried couple. β
"Second sister!" Feng Jun was really surprised, and he kept Feng Zhiyu with kind words, "You know that I am most afraid of seeing her." β
Feng Zhiyu succeeded in his trick, and he covered his lips and chuckled.
There were people outside the door, and I saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old lady outside the thick carved door, followed by a group of maids, this is Feng Juncheng's future fiancΓ©e, and Liu Ruomei, the niece of Ying Tianfu Yin.
Every time Feng Juncheng saw this little girl who was five years younger than him, he felt a headache and just wanted to avoid it.
But the marriage contract was a death contract, and he knew that sooner or later he would marry her, and even if it wasn't her, there would be another young lady to match. He did not resist, only accepted, after all, the marriage should not be taken lightly, let alone his own decision.
The palm-sized openwork embroidered shoes slowly walked into the door, Liu Ruomei was wearing an eye-catching goose yellow jacket and skirt today, with a water-blue colored line cloud shoulder on her shoulder, and walked into the house, one red and one yellow, but she was dressed very well with Feng Juncheng today.
"Please brother's Ann, please second sister's Ann."
"Sister, please get up."
Feng Juncheng stood up and gently hugged Liu Ruomei, and found that she was much taller than the last time they met, but he didn't want her to change in any way, her change was like the approaching wedding date, every time he got closer, it made him feel breathless.
"Oh, look at you, when we met, it seems like we only met yesterday, and I am not unfamiliar at all."
"Second sister, don't say anything."
How could Feng Zhiyu not see that Feng Juncheng was anxious, but she was happy to tease him verbally, and the three of them sat down and teased him a lot, which made Liu Ruomei embarrassed first.
"Brother." She took a sachet from her mother-in-law's hand, spread the tassel in her palm, raised her head and smiled and said to Feng Juncheng: "I heard that you have been preparing for next year's Spring Festival Exam recently, and I can't help anything, so I went to the temple and asked for a sign for you, sewn it into this sachet, there are mint and herbs in it, you can smell it when you are tired of learning." β
The sachet is delicate and small, Feng Juncheng pulled the corners of his lips and took it with both hands, "Thank you sister for your kindness, I will definitely get a reputation in the exam and live up to your expectations." β
"My brother is a little smart, and he is the first in the township test, so naturally it is not a problem."
In terms of the scene, no one can say Feng Juncheng, "I see that my sister is also a beautiful blue heart." β
Feng Zhiyu probably saw that they had nothing to say, so he got up and rounded, "This sachet is embroidered by Ruomei herself?" It's so good-looking, you've been very good at female red needles since you were a child, even I'm ashamed of myself, and if I have a chance in the future, I expect you to teach me more. β
What kind of opportunity is this, it doesn't need to be explained, it is enough to make the two people in the room blush, but Feng Juncheng is not because of shame, but because of embarrassment.
In fact, he never felt how much Liu Ruomei liked him, she was a deep lady, and the men she had come into contact with could be counted on one hand, and it was the argument that the husband was the wife of the elementary school, and it was easy for her to have a deep love for her fiancΓ©.
But "life is a lover, this hatred is not about the wind and the moon"1, the word love, the world is born with its own solution, why can I only love someone for marriage, but I can't marry her because I love someone.
Feng Juncheng doesn't like to be arranged, saying that he is stupid to read, he doesn't expect others to understand him.
About these few days of troubles have been piled up, and within a few days, the back of the head is boneless, Feng Juncheng said that he was sick and recuperated in bed, but in fact, he secretly went out of the house and went to the gambling house with Jiang Zhiheng to find some excitement.
In fact, gambling money is not attractive to Feng Juncheng, the kind of pleasure that is a thought of bliss and a thought of hell for others, he can't see the fun, he only feels happy and sad.
Feng Juncheng didn't know why he wanted to come here, maybe it was because it was noisy and noisy enough, and he could see all kinds of people, which was more interesting than the same Confucian students in the academy.
He looked around, looking for someone.
The steward came out of the shadows, and greeted the two young masters upstairs to the private room with a smile, "Why didn't I hear Zhang Gongzi say that you two will also be here today, he said that I am also good to Zhang Luo in advance, this time there will be slackness, and please two Haihan." β
That Zhang Gongzi is the young master of the county magistrate's family, he is a frequent visitor to the gambling house, and he will come here if he wants to find him.
Feng Juncheng waved his hand, "It's okay, where the others are, just take us up." β
Jiang Zhiheng suddenly asked, "Hey, what about your dealer named Zhao Qi?" On weekdays, he runs at the front as soon as I come, why don't I see his shadow today. β
The steward didn't know, "Yes, I saw him just now, that kid is very ghostly, about where he is lazy, you come with me, I will send someone to find him." β
"No need, let him go."
Feng Juncheng and Jiang Zhiheng walked up the steps while talking about the ridiculous things Huang Ruixiang did that day.
Jiang Zhiheng was cynical and free-spirited, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Shi Qian, your second sister will forget about this later?" β
Feng Juncheng wore a straight placket today, looking a little more refreshing, "She only thinks Huang Ruixiang is dead, and she doesn't care about it for a long time." β
Jiang Zhiheng was slightly stunned and laughed, "She hasn't changed at all." β
Feng Juncheng also smiled, "My second sister, you know, I like her the most in the whole family, it was because she was about seven years old that she was brought back to the Feng Mansion with Aunt Bai, she has been well-informed since she was a child, and many views are different. β
Jiang Zhiheng smacked his tongue, "I know, when I went to your house before, she always dealt with me and talked to me over trivial matters." β
"You call that a bicker?" Feng Juncheng disagreed, "How do I remember that you were taught a lesson by my second sister?" β
At this time, the two talked and laughed, but when they arrived at the card table, their hands stinked so much that they gradually lost their smiles.
Feng Juncheng's biggest fun in the gambling house is card counting, so it is slightly better, Jiang Zhiheng made the stinky cards in that hand so angry that he couldn't eat, and vowed to win back, and if he didn't win back, he wouldn't leave.
Seeing the rain crackling and falling in the evening, Feng Juncheng said goodbye early and went home.
He went out of the house without permission, and today there was only Wang Ban by his side, and when he came out, the sun was shining, but at this time, the heavy rain was pouring, Feng Juncheng asked Wang Ban to think of a way, and he waited under the eaves outside the gambling house.
"Master Cheng?"
Hearing someone beside him calling lightly, Feng Juncheng tilted his head and was slightly stunned.
Qing'e was standing in the rain with an umbrella, looking at him with surprised and tired eyes.
At this time, there were no people left on the street, and the entrance of the gambling house was not as lively as before, she stood in the rain like a thin mist, as if all the words used to describe Jiangnan could interpret her beauty.
Feng Juncheng is usually the most annoying sour scholar with a mouth full of clichΓ©s, but now he can't help but pile up all the poetic words on her.
Just because her posture under the rain curtain is comparable to the lake and mountains, her ice and jade muscles and bones are like delicate porcelain fetus, and her lonely eyes at the moment are like the long-lost courtyard at the end of the stone road after the rain, damp and muddy, and uninhabited for a long time.
He was so good at asserting that he gave her those poetic imaginations, and his ears were red, and he felt very disgusted with this almost blasphemous act.
Qing'e confirmed that the person under the eaves was him, and laughed, "Master Cheng, it's really you, you shouldn't be me, I thought I was wrong." β
Feng Juncheng was stunned and took half a step forward, and quickly stopped, "Sister-in-law, you... How did you get here? β
Qing'e said freely: "I see that it is going to rain, and Brother Qi didn't bring an umbrella, so I came to give him an umbrella." Qing'e stood under the eaves, Feng Juncheng's side, she put away the paper umbrella, and her shoulders and arms were still wet from the rain.
Feng Juncheng retracted his gaze and looked ahead, not paying attention to her closed lips, "Brother Zhao is not here, I won't see him when I come." Sister-in-law, let's go back early, it's too late-"
Insecurity.
Halfway through his words, Feng Juncheng felt that he shouldn't say this, so he immediately fell silent, but fortunately, Qing'e didn't seem to notice his crampedness, and only focused on twisting the corners of his clothes.
The side of her face was moistened by the rain, and her hair was stranded, outlining a bewitching curve on the side of her face, like a small hook that snatched the soul, even if he looked away, what he thought in his mind and what appeared in his eyes was still this scene.
Wang Ban trotted back from the rain, and was a little stunned when he saw Qing'e, "Master, I asked a few places, but there was no umbrella, and I borrowed them all." β
Feng Juncheng said, "Oh. β
Hearing this, Qing'e raised her head and asked, "Master Cheng is going back?" Don't play any longer? β
Feng Juncheng replied: "I don't play, I don't like gambling money, so I'll go back." β
"In that case, Master Cheng will use my umbrella, Brother Qi is not there, forget it, I brought two umbrellas, you can use this one, don't get drenched in the rain."
Feng Juncheng took half a step back, "It's still not necessary, leave the umbrella to Brother Zhao." β
"It's okay, just use it. If the rain stops, he will come back by himself, and if the rain is still heavy, I will come again, and I will stay close to him, and nothing will get in the way. β
Qing'e handed the umbrella to Wang Ban, took the lead in the umbrella and walked into the rain, and waved at Feng Juncheng, so that he didn't have to be embarrassed.
Feng Juncheng's footsteps were slightly blocked, and he quickly walked down the steps and caught up, "Thank you sister-in-law for borrowing an umbrella." β
Wang Ban hurriedly lifted the corner of his robe and opened the umbrella to keep up.
