Rouge wrong

After the Beginning of Summer, the weather gradually became hotter, and there were several heavy rains in the south of the Yangtze River, making the air even more humid and hot.

As soon as the ear seeds are over, every household has put on mats, and the scorching summer has officially arrived.

After Yanzhi washed up, she only walked a few steps in the courtyard, and felt another layer of sweat on her body.

In the evening, the sky was overcast, but it was dark for a long time, and the heavy rain never fell.

The summer heat in the courtyard has not disappeared, and people feel panicked due to boredom.Rouge looked at the night sky without a gleam of light, her face wrinkled into a ball.

After the weather got hot, Rouge began to worry about one thing.

Warming the bed, warming the bed, it's too cold to warm the bed, but now it's so hot, does shopkeeper Shen still need her to warm the bed?

This was originally just a vague idea in Rouge's mind, because Shen Cuo never mentioned it, and she didn't take the initiative to mention it.

But in recent days, Rouge has gradually realized that she is no longer warming Shen Cuo's bed, but the opposite.

Every day when she wakes up, she finds herself pawing at Shen Cuo's body, drawing coolness from him.

Although Shen Cuo didn't say anything, Yan Zhi still felt that she was too daring.

"Ugh……"

Yan Zhi stood at the door and looked up at the sky, feeling a little apprehensive and hesitant.

Even if shopkeeper Shen didn't say it, no one would like to be hugged by a sticky stove in such hot weather, right?

Although Shen Cuo's bedroom is already the coolest room in the house, Yan Zhi can still feel that she has sweated a lot at night when she wakes up every day.

Why shopkeeper Shen is always fresh and clean, no matter how hot the weather is, he will not sweat profusely?

Just when Yan Zhi was extremely troubled, the door suddenly opened from the inside with a "Yiya".

Shen Cuo leaned out half of his body, frowned and said, "Why did you stand outside for so long? It's going to rain soon, come in quickly."

Yan Zhi quickly agreed, and followed Shen Cuo into the house.

The room is cooler than the outside, and the seven-wheel fan driven by the waterwheel is blowing the wind, and the ice mirror beside the bed is half-opened, exuding a bit of coolness from inside.

Shen Cuo was wearing an extremely thin silk gauze dress, his slender and graceful body looming in the candlelight.

Although Rouge once bathed with Shen Cuo, she still didn't dare to look directly at such Shen Cuo.

"What are you doing standing there? Why don't you come here soon?"

Shen Cuo sat by the bed, gently shaking a silk fan in his hand, his long black hair was twisted behind his head with only a hairpin, revealing a large area of ​​skin from his neck to his chest, which was so white under the candlelight .

Rouge's face became inexplicably hot, and she walked slowly to the bed.Shen Cuo handed her the fan, and said as a matter of course: "Fant me quickly, it's so hot."

Shen Cuo's body is cool, but it doesn't mean she's not afraid of heat, and she hates sweating the most. When it's cold, her fan dances, and when it's really hot, she doesn't even want to move.

Shen Cuo chose this mansion at the beginning because it was near the water and had its own waterwheel.

Xia Ri can not only use the seven-wheel fan, but also rebuild a cool house. Although it is not as good as the Hanliang Palace where she used to live, it can still make do with it.

Yan Zhi knelt beside Shen Cuo with a round fan, helping her fan while talking to her.

The grocery store business is getting better and better, and Rouge is getting busier and busier, but she still tries to find time to study and use the short time before going to bed to ask Shen Cuo for advice.

Maybe it's because of suffering from childhood, Rouge has adapted very well to such a fulfilling life. She is always full of energy every day, and has grown taller, fatter and whiter.

No matter who looks at Rouge now, she will not think that half a year ago she was still a poor and thin little village girl who lived in the countryside and couldn't get enough to eat.

"Have Chuntao and the others learned to count and use the abacus?" After Shen Cuo answered Yan Zhi's doubts, he brought up the old matter again, "It's been several months, can't the three of them still be alone?"

Wang Er has been a waiter for several years, and he has nothing to say about memory and simple calculations, but when encountering large amounts and many things, calculations will be slower.

Chuntao and Zeng Tie have basically been keeping track of the goods and prices in the past few months, and they are relatively weak in arithmetic.

It is impossible for the grocery store to completely leave Rouge now, and the three of them can handle it when they are not busy, but Yanzhi has to sit outside on holidays.

"Actually, Brother Wang is responsible for collecting the money these few days. I'm just helping out. Sister Chuntao and Brother Zeng have already memorized most of the goods and prices. I believe they will be able to take charge of the store's affairs in the near future. .”

Shen Cuo lay down on the bed and hummed: "They are too slow to learn. You learned it in less than half a month."

Rouge took two steps on her knees, sat beside Shen Cuo, and continued to fan her.

"At the beginning, shopkeeper Shen personally taught me, drew pictures for me, and taught me how to read.

Now the store is busy, and I don't teach well, so they naturally learn slower. "

Shen Cuo thought about it and accepted the statement.

"That's true...but they have to hurry up, you can't just stay in the shop every day, do you still want to study, do you want to practice martial arts?"

Rouge is actually very interested in making money, besides, Shen recruited her by mistake in order to let her be a buddy, so she doesn't think there is any problem now.

It's just that she was in the shop all day, so it was inevitable that Shen Cuo would be left in the cold, and she really wanted to spend more time reading.

As for practicing martial arts... She can only say that she has no talent in this area. Under Shen Ding's guidance, Hu Zi has practiced better than her, and now she knows a little about breathing. No matter what, he couldn't get angry at his dantian, and he was so angry that Shen Cuo was half dead.

"I see, it should be fine in another ten days."

When Shen Cuo heard the exact number, he was quite satisfied, and stretched out his hand to press the round fan: "Okay, there is no need to fan."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to pull Yanzhi, and Yanzhi sweated a little when she fanned her.

At this time, when Shen Cuo's cool finger touched him, he dodged subconsciously.

Shen Cuo was stunned for a moment, and said in confusion and unhappiness: "What's wrong?"

Rouge heard her unhappiness, and quickly explained: "I'm sweating again, I'll go and wipe myself off."

Shen Cuo is very particular, he needs to change his clothes after a little sweat stain, thinking that the rouge is the same as himself, so he said: "There is water in the basin, just wipe it off."

"This... I, I'd better go to the bathroom to clean it."

Wiping the body in the room means undressing in front of Shen Cuo, and Rouge really can't do it.

"Why is it so troublesome? It's going to rain outside soon, are you coming back after wiping off the rain?"

It must be a heavy rain tonight, and the Chaoshou verandah can't stop the pouring rain.

"But I'm afraid I won't be able to wipe it clean here. I sweat a lot. If it smells like sweat..."

Shen Cuo is quite satisfied with other aspects of Rouge, but he can't understand her sometimes twitchy.

"I smell it, how can there be any sweat smell?" Shen Cuo sat up and grabbed the rouge, sniffed it around her neck, and asked doubtfully, "Strange, did you eat Sushan just now?"

Sushan is an iced drink made with animal milk as raw material, with honey, fruit and other seasonings. It has a rich milky aroma, sweet and sour taste, and is very suitable for summer consumption.

As the weather got hotter, Shen Cuo ordered the cook to prepare ice cream and crispy mountain.She is willing to spend money, and there is a constant supply of ice at home, and these iced drinks have never stopped.

Of course, both the ice cream and the crispy mountain are exclusively for Shen Cuo to eat, and the servants can be satisfied with just drinking some iced sour plum soup.

Rouge has always kept her duty, even if Shen Cuo wanted her to eat, she had to hesitate again and again.

What's more, Shen Cuo didn't expect this at all. How could she have eaten crispy mountains?

"No, no, oh, shopkeeper Shen..." Shen Cuo sniffed at her neck, his hair was scratched with rouge and his face was itchy, but he didn't dare to move, so he could only rest his small hand on Shen Cuo's shoulder, Repeatedly, "I didn't eat, really, really..."

Shen Cuo smelled it for a while, finally let go of her, and said strangely: "Then you are drinking milk? Why does your body smell like milk?"

Yan Zhi quickly shook her head: "No, I don't drink milk either."

Shen Cuo looked puzzled, Rouge saw that she was immersed in her own thoughts, and took the opportunity to say: "Shopkeeper Shen, then I'll go wash your body, if you are sleepy, go to bed first."

As she spoke, she simply got out of bed and wanted to go out while she was wearing her shoes. Shen Cuo crossed her legs and was still thinking about how the rouge smelled like milk.

Just when Yan Zhi was about to walk to the door, a white light suddenly brightened outside the house, and a bolt of lightning pierced the sky.

After a while, billowing thunder followed, as if it exploded right next to people's ears.

Rouge instinctively let out a scream, crouched down on the ground with her head in her arms, and the torrential rain fell at the same time.

Thunderstorms often cause some disasters, plus some folklore, people have a natural fear of thunder.

Rouge used to be from a poor family with a shabby house, and she was most afraid of rainy and windy weather, so naturally she didn't like thunderstorms.

Although normally he would not be scared by thunder and lightning to tremble, but just now he was too caught off guard and subconsciously took a defensive stance.

Rouge huddled on the ground, covering her ears tightly with her hands, but she could still feel the muffled thunder rolling in the air.

The heavy rain fell on the roof, making a loud "crackling" sound that echoed throughout the room.

"I said it's going to rain soon, but you still don't listen." Shen Cuo walked behind her at some point, picked up the rouge on the ground with one hand, and said helplessly, "Now I know I'm afraid right?"

Shen Cuo said and carried her to the bed, Rouge was still immersed in the fear of thunder and dared not move.

"Shopkeeper Shen..."

It wasn't until Shen Cuo put her on the bed that Yan Zhi calmed down, and called Shen Cuo timidly.

"What's there to be afraid of? There is a saying in Zhen Gua: Heng, Zhenlai (xi), laughing and talking hoarsely;

Shocking a hundred miles, not losing the dagger (chang).The thunderstorm is just a normal phenomenon, and a sage and gentleman should take this tiger's fear of the future calmly. "

Shen Cuo's face was proud, as if he was the only one in heaven and earth, and even this Thunder God couldn't help him.

Looking at her tall and straight figure, Rouge felt less timid in her heart.

"Shopkeeper Shen, have you never been afraid of thunder?"

"That's nature..." Shen Cuo got on the bed and pushed Rouge in, "For those of us who practice martial arts, we must not only follow the way of nature, but also have the ability to change fate against the sky.

How can you be afraid of these?If you don't practice martial arts well, you lack this kind of mind, you are timid and afraid to make progress. "

Rouge listened to Shen Cuo's argument, and for a moment she was not in the mood to pay attention to the thunder and heavy rain outside.

Shen Cuo also became interested, chattered a lot, and finally concluded: "You have a quick mind, but a humble temper, and you dare not be the first to others, not good, not good."

Yan Zhi seemed to have realized something, just about to think deeply, but found that Shen Cuo was hugging her and preparing to sleep.

Immediately remembering that I haven't washed my body, I said nervously: "Shopkeeper Shen, I haven't washed my body yet."

Shen Cuo took a breath, and said angrily: "You can't teach a child, I just really played the piano to the cow."

Yan Zhi didn't understand the connection between body rubbing and Shen Cuo's words just now. Seeing that Shen Cuo was annoyed, she didn't dare to ask again, but then she remembered that she said that she didn't dare to make progress, so she bit the bullet and asked again: "Shopkeeper Shen, this, this has nothing to do with it. What you said... is there any connection?"

Shen Cuo said confidently: "How can there be a connection between these? I have told you so much, but you still think about wiping your body. I am really wasting my tongue!"

It turned out to be like this, she thought that she was not smart enough to understand what Shopkeeper Shen meant.

"But, I'm afraid that you will be smoked..."

Shen mistakenly heard it, but leaned over to smell it again.

"Did you not use balm today?"

"Because it's hot..."

Shen Cuo nodded: "Don't use it in the future, you still smell better like this."
