Chapter 41 - wind
When Shen Yuzhi arrived, he did not escape the education of his elder brother’s love for him. After sending the two cousins to their residence, he was dragged to Shen Jingzhi’s Yunxiao Courtyard, and he was stared at eighteen sets of boxing before listening to him. Shen Jingzhi said aloud the word “receive”.
Shen Yuzhi felt as if he had been granted amnesty, dragged his sore body, gently moved to the sapphire table, and did not dare to sit down directly, lest his hands and feet would go numb, and looked at the two brothers who were drinking by themselves rather sadly. , Even the words are weak: “Brother, I know you care about me, but we have to do it step by step. It’s good now, I won’t be able to get up tomorrow.”
Shen Jingzhi gave him a cold look: “If you can’t afford it, you can’t afford it, how did you develop your habit of being lazy and disliking work?”
Shen Yuzhi expressed that he was wronged: “I just don’t like to practice martial arts, why do I have to work hard? My talent in martial arts is not as good as your big brother…” He still wanted to talk about the thesis, but Shen Jingzhi was not sure how much worse he was. However, feeling the fierce stare of his eldest brother, Shen Yuzhi wisely swallowed the second half of the sentence back into his stomach.
With a warm and amiable smile, Shen Yongzhi watched the two of them “confrontation” with great interest, as if jokingly said: “In the past, the third brother could not sleep, but brother, you can break in and arrest him, now Yuzhi Married, big brother, you have to change the way.”
Shen Yuzhi’s eyes lit up when he heard the words: “Yes, brother, you can’t go in and out of my yard at will, you must know how to avoid suspicion.”
Shen Jingzhi glared at him angrily: “Virtue!” He raised his head and drank the wine glass in his hand, his movements were indescribably bold and capable.
After drinking, he turned to look at Shen Yuezhi, and asked in a deep voice, “What’s the matter with you?”
Shen Yongzhi blinked, full of confusion: “Big Brother, what’s the matter?”
“Don’t try to lie to me,” Shen Jingzhi said coldly and sternly, “There are some things, no matter how talented you are, you shouldn’t be involved, just be careful.”
Shen Yongzhi smiled irrefutably and said, “With Big Brother watching, what can I do?” He raised the glass in his hand, touched the glass in front of Shen Jingzhi, made a crisp sound, and then raised his head and drank it.
Shen Yuzhi watched the two older brothers drinking in wonder, knowing that what they said had meaning, but he didn’t understand it at all, and said strangely: “Big brother, second brother, what did you say?”
Shen Jingzhi was too lazy to pay attention to him, Shen Yongzhi looked at him with a smile: “Big brother, this is because he is worrying about which girl to marry to be his second wife.”
“Yongzhi.” Shen Jingzhi said warningly, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Shen Yuezhi smiled inexplicably and shook his head lightly, but Shen Yuzhi heard about it and looked over in astonishment: “Big brother, are you going to continue the string? Does Yuan Hao know?” Knowing this, he was most worried. his only nephew.
Shen Jingzhi’s tone was a little cold: “Don’t listen to your second brother’s nonsense about nothing.”
Shen Yongzhi raised his brows slightly, and said with a mocking smile, “What nonsense? Big brother, you should tell your grandmother and mother what you said.” Um?”
Shen Yu was stunned, remembering that the girl Bai Chu had mentioned to him seemed to be called Hu, and he frowned: “Second aunt wants to match the eldest brother with that Miss Hu?” Although he could not remember the appearance of Hu Manrou , but I don’t think he is impressed, which means that Miss Hu is not very good, how can she match her eldest brother?
“Inappropriate.” He shook his head with a serious face, but made Shen Yongzhi laugh, “What does it have to do with you?”
Shen Yuzhi snorted coldly and said, “I’m going to be called sister-in-law in the future, why doesn’t it matter?”
“In the final analysis, it’s not about whether the eldest brother likes it or not,” Shen Yongzhi smiled like a spring breeze, but he couldn’t hide the fun of watching the excitement in his eyes, “Did you say that, eldest brother?”
Hearing what he said, Shen Yuzhi’s hesitant and inquiring eyes also fell on Shen Jingzhi’s face, and then he was glared back coldly.
Shen Jingzhi glanced at Shen Yongzhi: “When did you look like a long-tongued woman?”
Shen Yingzhi took a sip of his wine and said with a soft smile, “I’m just curious, eldest brother, you escorted the second uncle’s family all the way to Beijing, and the second aunt likes her mother’s niece so much, so she didn’t want to work **** you?”
A fool doesn’t believe it either.
Shen Jingzhi frowned, and there was a little impatience between his brows: “Ignore what those messes are doing, you all stay away, stand upright, don’t get caught in those right and wrong.”
Shen Yongzhi smiled without saying a word, and drank the wine in a leisurely manner. Shen Yuzhi realized that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly handed the wine glass: “Brother is right, come here, I will toast you, and then leave, brother, you can still go. Look at Yuan Hao, this kid knows you are coming back and has been waiting impatiently for several days.”
Shen Jingzhi’s expression softened slightly, and he raised his hand to toast him lightly: “I know.”
The three brothers stayed for another quarter of an hour before they separated. Shen Jingzhi went straight to Hexiangyuan to see his son. Ever since Mrs. Xie left, Shen Yuanhao has been with the old lady.
Shen Yongzhi and Shen Yuzhi left together, the latter was already a little drunk, but the former still had clear eyes, gentle and calm.
The stars are hidden in the darkness, and the hazy moonlight is also a bit dim at the moment.
“Yuzhi?” Shen Yongzhi said slowly, “Are you going to Motang Xuan or Wutong Courtyard?”
“Wutong Courtyard.” Shen Yu replied subconsciously, looking at him hesitantly, “What’s the matter?”
Shen Yuezhi smiled: “It seems that your relationship with Chu Chu has become a lot closer recently.” His tone was flat, as if he was just stating a fact.
Shen Yuzhi’s mind was a little confused by the influence of alcohol, and she felt that she had nothing to hide, so she said directly: “Chu Hua is gentle and intelligent, and has a good temperament to get along with.”
The smile on Shen Yingzhi’s lips faded a little, his eyes were dark, he looked at him steadily, and after a long while he pursed his lips and smiled: “That’s good.”
Until the two parted ways and left, Shen Yuzhi didn’t understand the meaning of his three words, and he didn’t bother to think about it, and went straight back to Wutong Courtyard.
Seeing a drunk who smelled of alcohol coming back, even if he could walk in a straight line in front of him, Bai Chu was reluctant to approach him, and recruited Lan Jiang and Lan He, they used to take care of Shen Yuzhi. , the experience is much richer than her, so there is no need to make mistakes.
Because Shen Yuzhi often lives in Wutong Courtyard, Bai Chu thought of adding all Shen Yuzhi’s usual furnishings in the side room, keeping it so that he can live comfortably, lest one day he can’t think of going to grab a bed with her. .
“Mrs. Zhi, the third young master has fallen asleep after drinking the hangover soup.”
Hearing Lanxi’s voice coming through a screen, Bai Chu responded in a low voice, “I have you to take care of it.”
“Yes.”
When Lanxi retreated, Shuangxi helped her remove the hairpin from her bun, and asked hesitantly, “Madam, the third young master is drunk, should you come and take a look?”
Bai Chu replied indifferently, “Didn’t I go to see him?” She still waited until the sobering soup was cooked and brought it over before leaving. From the point of view of friendship, she felt that she had enough.
However, Double Happiness came to ask her for the love of husband and wife, so she was inevitably a little worried. She always felt that the young lady was too indifferent to the third young master, and secretly wondered: In the past, when the young lady was not married, didn’t she like to see the third young master the most? ?
Thinking so in my heart, I couldn’t help but say the question.
Bai Chu’s eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at her through the copper-yellow mirror: “The third brother is not too enthusiastic to treat people. If I don’t be colder, I will be annoying when I look back.”
Shuangxi nodded understandingly, “Young madam, you are bothered.” There was a little distress on her face, she felt that the third young master must still have the eldest miss in her heart, so she let the young lady be so careful.
Using the same reason to soothe the restless Little Eight in his mind, Bai Chu touched some rose dew on his hand, gently pressed it on the tender texture of his face, and squinted his eyes slightly: Speaking of which, it seemed like a long time ago. Did you hear Bai Yinhua’s movement?
She was thinking so, when she heard news the next day that the Bai Mansion was marrying the son of Zhang Mansion for Bai Yinhua’s sake.
Logically speaking, it is also a happy event for cousins and sisters to go out. Zhang’s father has been sitting in the position of the servant of the Ministry of Industry for more than ten years. Naturally it matches.
But anyone who knew her knew that Bai Yinhua couldn’t be willing.
Bai Chu smiled and looked at Shen Yongzhi, who was guarding the garden in front of her back to Wutongyuan, and kindly brought her the news: “Second brother seems to be very interested in my eldest sister?”
A helpless smile appeared on Shen Yongzhi’s warm and elegant face: “Who am I for?”
Bai Chu casually walked past him, and a scent of fragrance lifted from the hem of Wei Yang’s skirt, which was fleeting: “I’m already a married daughter, how can the eldest sister have nothing to do with me, it’s the second brother, I don’t know if you grabbed it last time. How many hidden tails did King An have?”
Shen Yuezhi was not annoyed, and naturally followed up calmly: “Chu Chu is in the inner courtyard, but she seems to know a lot.”
Bai Chu smiled and glanced at him: “I’m just guessing at random. The second brother is not in the pool at first sight. How can ordinary people dare to face King An?”
It’s just that his identity is too sensitive.
Shen Yongzhi’s dark pupils deepened slightly, a dark light flashed by, and he said with a smile, “Then Chu Chu wants to know the follow-up?”
Bai Chu’s footsteps slowly stopped, and he met his gaze, his smiling eyes filled with interest: “I’m more curious than my eldest sister. If the new Miss Hu says that she is interested in your second brother, what should I do?”
“Are you worried about me?” Shen Yongzhi shook his head and laughed, his clear voice showed two ill intentions, “You might as well worry about Yuzhi, if Miss Hu is determined by her identity, in the end, she might have to regard Yuzhi as her own. Hit the good guys.”
When the wife is not qualified, it is always possible to be a concubine.
Bai Chu rolled his eyes at him angrily: “I’m still looking forward to it!” She turned around and was about to leave, when Shen Yongzhi grabbed her wrist suddenly, he leaned forward abruptly, the warm breath wrapped in the faint scent of clear bamboo facing him Attacked, “Then how can I help you?”
Bai Chu was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, he suddenly heard a low and indifferent voice sounding not far from the two of them: “Shen Yongzhi.”
