Rouge wrong

Shen Cuo's birthday this year is extremely lively compared to the previous two years. In addition to learning, Huo Wutong and Huo Zisu who are in Yanzhou at this time, and Bai Linqiu who lives in her home will naturally also participate together.

But Shen Cuo not only had no expectations for this birthday, but also felt irritable for the first time in history.

After her birthday, she will be one year older.

"Sister Shen, you don't want to get up, you have to get me up, right? Today is your birthday, I have to help prepare..."

Shen Cuo originally thought that "Sister Shen", who was like the sound of nature, became harsh after thinking about it, "Don't call me Sister Shen... and I don't want to get up, I won't get up today, I don't want to celebrate my birthday."

She simply hugged Rouge and started making trouble like a child.

Shen Cuo has been awkward since Rouge mentioned the nine-year-old age difference. He is as sensitive as Rouge, so he naturally knows what she cares about.

"But weren't you satisfied with this title before?"

"Then I also said it was only temporarily, and now I don't like it anymore."

Shen Cuo originally felt that "Sister Shen" was short of something, but when he realized that this sister included a nine-year-old difference, he was naturally even more dissatisfied.

"Then what would you like me to call you?"

Perhaps it was because she was forced to call her Sister Shen by mistake, but Rouge is no longer as resistant to changing her name as she was before.

Instead, he became interested in how Shen Cuo wanted him to call her.

Rouge could feel that Shen Cuo was making a fuss about changing her address, and the frequent quarrels were not just a whim.

Perhaps her heart was undergoing a change that even she herself could not explain clearly, so she fell into confusion and chaos.In order not to embarrass herself, she very cleverly began to embarrass others.

"Anyway, what I called before won't work."

Shen Cuo obviously didn't understand what she wanted, but she knew very well what she didn't want to do.

Unfamiliar titles are not acceptable, respectful titles are not acceptable, and titles that show seniority are not acceptable.

"Then let me think about it again..." What she wanted was an intimate and equal address, and calling her by her first name or first name was probably the correct answer.

It's just that Yanzhi still has a lot of concerns about this, so she had to change the subject, "But today is your birthday, and it took so long to prepare. Sister Lin bought the dishes and set up a troupe. Miss Huo and the others are coming soon It's gone... You were obviously looking forward to it before, why didn't you want to pass it?"

The tradition of celebrating Shen Cuo's birthday every year originally stemmed from Shen Yunpo's love for her.

After returning to Yanzhou, Shen Cuo was frustrated for a long time, and naturally he no longer cared about his birthday.

However, Rouge still insisted on spending a lot of thought on missing Shen's birthday, which gradually made Shen Cuo regain his anticipation.

"Huh..." Shen Cuo was unhappy written all over his face, but he couldn't explain why, he hugged Yanzhi and hummed for a long time, then suddenly asked, "Yanzhi, when is your birthday?"

It is not easy for children from poor families to survive, so how can they remember their birthdays?

Rouge only knows that she was born in spring, but she doesn't know the exact date.

"You don't know? Then your sister doesn't know either?"

"I was born in spring because my sister told me that we don't keep track of specific dates in the countryside. We only count days for farming or when the Chinese New Year is approaching."

This birthday was originally celebrated by rich and noble families. The Wang family is all shabby and settled in Maoshanqian Village, so how can there be such a leisurely memory of their children's birthday?

Shen Cuo didn't know about this until today, and because he realized that he didn't care enough about Rouge, he was stunned for a while.

Rouge noticed her silence and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"

Shen Cuo stared at Yan Zhi's face for a while, and said depressedly: "You have been with me for so long, and I don't even know this."

Seeing her downcast expression, Yan Zhi's tone was rather remorseful, her heart felt weak, she took her hand and comforted her and said, "There are not many people who celebrate their birthdays every year, don't you think it's normal?"

"Others can't do it, but I did it, or you have been helping me, why didn't I think of asking you?"

The more Shen Cuo thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he blamed himself, "Rouge, I'm sorry."

Shen Cuo has felt guilty several times in his life, let alone apologized to others.

But this time, she was really sad, and there was a strong sadness besides guilt.

She had long regarded Rouge as the closest person, but only now did she realize that she had not given the care that Rouge's closest person should have.

"You don't have to apologize, it's fine."

Rouge thought it was a bit funny that Shen Cuo was more sad than herself, but Shen Cuo seemed to be hit hard, and his eyes were red, and he was very sad.

"Shopkeeper Shen, it's really nothing." Yan Zhi was a little afraid that Shen Mi would cry out, and reached out to touch the corner of her eyes, "And I don't know my birthday, so what difference does it make if you ask or not?"

"Why is there no difference? If I had known earlier..."

Shen Cuo was full of guilt, but he didn't know what to do if he knew earlier, so he grabbed Yan Zhi's hand and didn't say a word for a long time.

Both of them didn't notice, Yanzhi called out shopkeeper Shen again out of desperation.

"I'm already very happy to be able to help you celebrate your birthday, as if I was celebrating it myself, so don't blame yourself, it's not your fault."

Yan Zhi's consolation did not let Shen Cuo feel relieved, on the contrary, she felt more and more that she didn't care enough about Yan Zhi.

Yanzhi likes her joys and worries about her worries, but she has done everything for Yanzhi-she doesn't want to lose to Yanzhi, and she also wants to be very good to Yanzhi.

"Then you can spend it with me. From now on, my birthday will be your birthday."

Because he was eager to show his concern for Rouge, Shen Cuo didn't think at all whether he would cause trouble to others by imposing his birthday on others.

Fortunately, Rouge, who didn't pay much attention to these things, didn't feel troubled, but felt helpless and funny because Shen Cuo thought about it.

"Then how do I calculate my age?"

Because she didn't know her birthday, Yan Zhi's age was also considered vague.Previously, it was counted as one year older than one year, but now living with Shen Cuo, how should it be counted?

"You will be 16 years old after celebrating your birthday with me."

Rouge blinked, looked into Shen Cuo's eyes, and said uncertainly: "You don't care about what I said earlier, you are nine years older than me, do you?"

According to Shen Cuo's calculation, Rouge and her are only eight years apart.

"What, what, I didn't say that because of this!" Shen Cuo was quite annoyed by the misinterpretation, and said angrily, "I didn't think I cared enough about you, and I didn't treat you well enough, so I suggested this!"

Naturally, Yan Zhi didn't really want to question Shen Cuo when she said this, but just to relieve her slowly feeling of guilt.

"Well, I'm sorry, I misunderstood shopkeeper Shen. But I never feel that you don't care about me enough or treat me badly."

Rouge looked at Shen Cuo and smiled sweetly, "In my opinion, you are the best person to me."

Shen Cuo felt dizzy when he saw Rouge's smile.For some reason, she feels more and more strange about Rouge these days.

"It's just what you think..."

Shen Cuo is by no means the kind of person who can put herself in other people's shoes. Rather, since she was pampered and pampered since she was a child, she has very little thought of being considerate of others.

It's not that she doesn't care about the people she likes and admires, but that she doesn't have the thoughtfulness to be considerate of others, otherwise she wouldn't have thought of asking about Rouge's birthday until today.

But for this kind of her, one day she realized that she was not considerate enough to care about others.

And consciously wanting to be good to others has to be said to be a great improvement.

It's just that Young Master Shen still doesn't know how to do it right now. He only has a heart that wants to show off, but his actions are extremely clumsy.

Since it was said to be two people's birthdays, it was just too much.Shen Cuo, who had been lying on the bed for a long time, finally got up in a hurry, and took Yanzhi to the kitchen after washing up.

"What's your favorite dish, Rouge? Ask Sister Lin to add some more."

Compared with Shen Cuo's picky eater, there is almost nothing that Rouge doesn't eat.If you want to say what you like to eat the most, even she herself doesn't know.

It's just that this is Shen Cuo's rare thought, so she had to casually mention a few dishes that were already on the banquet, dispelling Shen Cuo's idea of ​​adding dishes.

"Then what gift do you want? I'll give you..."

Every year on Shen Cuo's birthday, Rouge would give her a sachet and handkerchief made by herself.Although Shen Cuo also gave Rouge a lot of things, she felt that they were all random gadgets, and they couldn't be compared in terms of intentions.

Yanzhi knew that Shen Cuo was interested, and if she didn't go along with her, she couldn't stop, so she had to think about it seriously.

"Then give me a painting."

Shen Cuo loves to paint and draw when he has nothing to do, and his "masterpieces" are hung in the study.

Yan Zhi didn't want her to be troublesome, but she didn't expect that Shen Cuo's eyes really lit up when she heard it, and she clapped her hands and said, "This is good, this is good, follow me to the study, and I will draw a portrait for you!"

"what?"

"Ah what? Do you know how many people want my paintings? Hehe, I have only painted portraits for my aunt so far, and you are the second."

As she spoke, she took Yan Zhi's hand, and wanted to take her to the study room. Unexpectedly, the two of them walked to the door and met Bai Linqiu who was coming.

The Yanzhou government has conveyed Wenshi's instructions to other state capitals, and has begun to investigate the assassination of the previous prefect.

Bai Linqiu is not only a very important witness, but also a decoy. There is no better place for her to live except Shen Cuo.

Bai Linqiu is very self-aware, never leaves Shen's house, only walks around the courtyard every day, and greets Shen Cuo, the master, regularly.

Bai Linqiu walked gracefully, seeing the two of them with a subtle smile, he saluted Shen Cuo, "Today is Master Shen's birthday, Lin Qiu came out in a hurry, penniless, only a jade pendant that he wears with him can express his love, and he also hopes that Master Shen Don't be disgusted."

As she spoke, she took out a Supa from her sleeve and put it in front of Shen Cuo with both hands.The Supa spread out naturally, and there was a gold-inlaid jade that was worth a lot of money lying in it. The Luo tassel on the jade tablet was new and bright, obviously it had just been tied on it not long ago.

Considering that Bai Linqiu does not have the ability to predict the future, this can only be done by her own hands recently.
