Zhou Yan

That Zhou Cijiu who came out of nowhere was really weird, Shen Xian wanted to ask, but when he mentioned that name, Zhou Mingchao's face looked a little strange, and his whole person became gloomy.

While eating the roast chicken, Shen Xian judged the situation, and finally ate a pile of chicken bones in front of him. He drank the last bit of the pot of tea, and waved his hand when he asked the shop assistant to come over.

Xiao Er thought that the master was about to order, so he trotted over joyfully, and was about to report the name of the dish, but Uncle Shen stretched out his hand and tore off the towel that was draped over his shoulder.

Under the guy's instantly shocked gaze, Shen Xian put it on his hand and wiped the oil off his fingers.

After wiping, Shen Xian put back the handkerchief contentedly: "Brother Zhou, let's go back!"

As for Zhou Cijiu or something, let him go to hell.

Zhou Mingchao nodded and stood up.

The two left, the boy in the store: "..."

Fuchunzhai’s roast chicken is tender and juicy, full of meat fragrance. Zhou Mingchao only ate a little, and most of the rest went into Shen Xian’s stomach. It’s past the age when two chicken legs can be eaten on the dinner table. Eat today After he was full, he leisurely jumped into the gate of Shen's residence.

Then as soon as he looked up, he saw the city lord's face of self-indignation and self-indignation.

"Father!" Shen Xian took a step back, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

"What's it called! You don't even know me anymore?" The city lord looked at him coldly, but he still couldn't figure out why he had such a thing, and wanted to beat him up when he saw it.

Shen Xian bowed his head and didn't speak. Just now Zhou Mingchao sent him to the door and went back. No one helped him speak at the moment, Shen Xian stood upright honestly.

"Didn't your mother say that you were sick yesterday, and you didn't see anyone early this morning, where did you go crazy?"

After a busy day, the city lord got up early in the morning to visit Shen Xian. The room was empty and there was no one in sight.

"Not crazy," Shen Xian muttered in a low voice, "Brother Zhou and I went out together, and just wandered around in the garden."

Shen Xian lowered his head, leaving only a part of his chin. I don't know if it was the city lord's illusion. Hearing that Shen Xian was sick, looking at him now, I always feel that he has lost a lot of weight, and his chin has become much sharper.

"Stay at home if you're sick, and be careful if you catch a cold again." Although his tone was still aggressive, the city lord's attitude eased a lot. He patted Shen Xian's head: "Does it still hurt?"

Shen Xian shook his head: "Brother Zhou gave me medicine, and I'm already cured."

After speaking, he sucked his nose.

"I think you have to drink a few more doses of medicine, and the urn is muffled. How about Ming Dynasty? Didn't come back with you."

"Brother Zhou said he had something to do at home, so he went home."

"Next time I will leave after dinner, I will take care of you since I was a child," the city lord patted Shen Xian's head, "Now that you are so old, I still want someone to take care of you, so I am not ashamed."

"Brother Zhou is stronger than me." The strong take care of the weak, and Shen Xian accepted the fact that he is weak very calmly.

"You have half the future of the Ming Dynasty, and your mother and I will be content," the city lord suddenly remembered something: "It hasn't rained or blown the past few days, why did you catch a cold and have a fever?"

"This..." The little concern from the city lord from time to time made Shen Xian talk about him from left to right, and Shen Xian didn't dare to say that I went to the pond to dig your lotus root and came back from the cold. Can beat him back to bed and drink a few bowls of traditional Chinese medicine.

"Just, that's it. In this weather, who can sleep, I have a headache now, go back to sleep for a while, dad, goodbye!"

Shen Xian babbled nonsense here and there, and he wanted to ask his father if he knew Zhou Cijiu, but he forgot about it, and wanted to sneak away when he saw the right opportunity.

"Why are you running?" The city lord pulled Shen Xian back: "I have something to tell you."

"Say what you say." Shen Xian hiccupped.

"..."

The city lord was silent for a while and then flew into a rage.

"Speaking of going to the garden, I actually went out to eat roast chicken secretly! How many times have I told you to eat less food outside, but I always don't listen, and don't eat food at home, pick and choose, and dog shit outside is worse Isn’t the fragrance at home right?”

"I, I, I, I didn't! I really went to Linyuan. Really, Brother Zhou bought the roast chicken for me."

"Still lying! I went to Linyuan today, why didn't I see you! I will stop your monthly money when I turn around!"

"Father, I really didn't lie to you!" Shen Xian was about to cry, unable to speak.

The father and son argued at the gate.

"You said you went to Linyuan, why didn't I see you in Linyuan today, or did you say you saw me and hid on purpose to prevent me from finding you!"

"..." Shen Xian: "Father, let's just say, how likely do you think this is?"

The city lord smiled grimly: "It's as likely as me beating you up to meet the ancestors of the Shen family!"

"..." Shen leisurely refused: "There is absolutely no such possibility!"

The city lord squinted at him, then snorted, and turned the page: "Go to Qingyanxi tomorrow, and also to Ming Dynasty."

"Qingyanxi? Where are you going?"

The temperature will drop in a few days, and it will snow in Linzhou City. At that time, there will be heavy snowfall, and the roads to the mountains will be closed. This is a long-standing tradition in Linzhou City. Going to the mountains for an outing means that the end of the year will be smooth. , I wish you good health in the coming year.

"I understand the truth," Shen Xian asked, biting his finger, "Why are there so many people going together? Brother Zhou and I are fine."

The city lord showed Shen Xian the roster for going to Qingyanxi tomorrow, Shen Xian looked at the names on it and was puzzled why Li Wei, Liu Yuexu, Liu Dongzang, Xu Chen were all on it, and there were some other people he didn't know His name: "Which one is Liu Suisui? And who is Xiao Ming! Dad, are you bringing these people together to make a pot of mishmash?"

The city lord coughed: "I didn't draw up this name post. It was written by your mother, her friends, and other women in the city after discussing it."

Shen Xian guessed his mother's intentions at once, twirled the booklet and twirled it on his fingertips: "Mum, is she tired? Why don't you change careers and become a matchmaker?"

"You can go and say this in front of your mother yourself."

The city lord was deeply aware of it, but he didn't dare to refute it. Whenever he was fast asleep on the step, his wife clapped his hands suddenly, and the city lord almost kicked his legs to the sky.

"Old Shen," Madam didn't notice, and discussed with him enthusiastically when she saw the city lord woke up: "What do you think of Xian'er and Miss Liu's family? Not bad, this can be made up for, and Xu Chen's child, you take care of it, Mrs. Liu said that after Xu Chen's family visits are over and he has a formal official position, he and Dongzang will be settled, and we will get engaged in the spring of next year .”

"What you said is good." The city lord was drowsy.

"You said how is Yuexu's baby, it's been four months, and it's almost pregnant!"

The lady babbled on until the red candle was burnt out, and then finished admiring the various attitudes of the people in Linzhou City, yawned and fell asleep gracefully. Only the city lord, who was no longer sleepy, opened his eyes and looked out of the dark window thinking deeply.

"Father, can you take care of mother? You can't finish worrying every day, so much energy." Shen Xian pressed the roster into his father's hand: "You let Aunt Zhang stew an old hen with ginseng for mother. Mother Bubu, don't tire her out, call me when you drink, I'll help you drink what you can't finish, don't waste it."

"Don't think about my chicken's idea." The city lord poked Shen Xian's head with his hand, warning him: "Stay away from them."

The city lord also raised a group of chickens in the backyard, surrounded by railings, and they grew fat and strong. The rooster had a proud comb and beautiful feathers, and the hen was fat and oily. I have been coveting for a long time, and I have to think about it for several days when I come back.

"It's fine if you keep the hen, you can lay eggs," Shen Xian objected, "Why keep the rooster, it can lay eggs for you!"

"What do you know? The rooster is reserved for breeding." The city lord folded his arms and chest in disdain.

"Don't chickens hatch from eggs? Daddy, don't try to lie to me," Shen Xian looked at the city lord with daddy, are you stupid: "How do you breed eggs?"

City Lord: "..."

"What do you know, how many things a child has seen," the city lord waved Shen Xian to leave: "Your mother went out to listen to a play, and I specially asked you to dress up better tomorrow, get out!"

Shen Xian was so happy to leave: "Farewell."

At the entrance of the east courtyard, Shen Xian deliberately turned around at the base of the wall and stood up in the corner. As expected, Honghu was squatting there to catch crickets.

"What are you doing?"

A quiet and quiet voice sounded, and the swan trembled in fright. The cricket in his hand had only one leg left, and the black cricket abandoned its strong thigh and slipped away.

"Master!" Honghu shouted angrily: "This is my mighty general, you scared him away."

He also hoped to use this big cricket to defeat the Changsheng General Zhang Hu in the stable.

"What kind of general, I don't feel bored," Shen Xian squatted on the ground, looking at the hole Honghu dug out: "You've been here all day to catch this thing?"

"En." Honghu nodded, and showed Shen Xian the pot he hid behind him: "I caught it in our yard for a day, young master, which one do you like, I'll give it to you."

Shen Xian smiled dryly: "No need, just keep it for yourself."

Honghu happily closed the lid.

Even with the medicine on half of his face, there were still some redness, swelling and bruises that did not dissipate. Looking at Shen Xian, he suddenly felt that Hong Hu was so pitiful. When he was not at home, this child could only catch crickets in the yard and play.

"Tomorrow I'm going to Qingyanxi, are you going?" Shen Xian wanted to take Honghu out as well, and let him have a play.

"Is it the place where all the young masters and young ladies in Linzhou City are going?"

Unexpectedly, Honghu knew, Shen Xian was stunned: "Well, you go..."

"I won't go," Honghu rejected him without thinking.

"It's spread all over the circle of our book boys and maids." Honghu looked up, as if he was very proud: "This is a chance for you to go on a blind date, and we won't go."

"..." Shen Xian really didn't know what to say: "You still have circles!"

"Yes, there are many. The stable circle is for the stable circle, the servant circle is for the servant circle, and there is another sweeping circle for sweeping the floor. I am not familiar with the other circles, and the people in our circle don't want to take them to play."

"...Is that so, you guys, it's quite interesting."
