Zhou Yan

"Brother Zhou, why are you here!" Shen Xian pinched the sleeves of Zhou Mingchao's clothes and played with them in his hands. Visible to the naked eye, he couldn't stop being happy.

"I'll take you back."

Shen Xian turned around and didn't take a few steps, Zhou Mingchao wanted to chase after him, but there were people passing by on the street, Shen Xian disappeared in the crowd, and the hem of his clothes could not be seen.

Yongnan Wang and his wife are far away in the capital, but the leisure right in front of them is more important. Zhou Mingchao now knows the truth of living in the present better than anyone else. If the princess leaves, he can send someone to invite him, or come to the door There is no doubt about the visit, but if he had left just now, he would have left Shen Xian for the sake of the princess in the future. Just thinking about it, Zhou Mingchao felt that Xian Xian is so pitiful alone.

Fortunately, he found someone. Zhou Mingchao reached out and grabbed the wrist of the person next to him, feeling a little lucky, fortunately, he found someone.

Shen Xian smiled, and hugged Zhou Mingchao's neighbor in the street, not avoiding suspicion at all: "Will the princess be angry if he can't wait for you?"

Zhou Mingchao frowned inaudibly: "I don't really want to see her."

"Actually, I don't know why," Shen Xian wrinkled his nose, "I don't like her too much."

Shen Xian took Zhou Mingchao's hand, and Zhou Mingchao held his arm, and the two of them walked into Shen's residence all the way.

When spring came, the city lord invited someone to fill the hole dug by Shen Xian in the lotus pond. He was supervising the work in the pavilion. The two greeted him and went back.

There are really quite a few holes in the pond, one on the left and one on the right, the city lord looked at it and became very leisurely, and he didn't even say a lot when he brought Zhou Mingchao together.

The two walked away, and the housekeeper happened to pass by the gazebo. Looking at the backs of the two, he sighed, "These two children have such a good relationship. Brothers don't play together all day like this."

The city lord followed the butler's gaze and said, "That kid can act like a baby. Mingchao bought him a lot of things. He sent all the good things from the Zhou mansion."

The butler smiled: "Our young master is a pain in the ass."

It looks so white and tender.

"What's the use of a boy being loved by others," the city lord snorted, "No girl would like him. A few days ago, I was still worrying about his mother. All the girls of the right age in Linzhou City have husbands. The second girl of the Liu family is one year younger than Xian'er of my family, and they are both engaged, look at the two of our family, one is more worry-free than the other."

"This kind of thing can't be rushed, they have to be anxious." The housekeeper is an old man, and he is a little more open-minded than the city chief: "Maybe it's because I haven't met the right person, and I have to be cautious in the future. "

"I understand," the city lord nodded, "I'm not in a hurry for Ming Dynasty. He is good-natured and good-natured, and he is reliable. As long as he wants, he can choose from a lot of girls. His leisure time is different. He doesn't spend four or six hours all day. Yes, who would take a fancy to him?"

The old housekeeper advised: "The young master is a lucky person!"

"Oh," the city owner didn't know what to say, every time he thought of this, his heart would be extremely complicated: "I hope that there will be a blind person in the future who can look up to him and is willing to spend the rest of his life with him."

When Zhou Mingchao returned, the princess was looking around in the Zhou Mansion, watching the servants work from time to time, he didn't look like a guest, but rather came to supervise the work.

"The prince is back?" After waiting for nearly an hour, the princess did not see much impatience. She raised a smile, her lips were rosy, and stood up with the railing: "Today, I came to disturb the prince. Forgive me."

"It doesn't matter," Zhou Mingchao stood on the porch with his hands behind his back: "The princess can order someone to deliver greeting cards next time. There are always people in the lower mansion."

"Okay, I'm taking the liberty," stroking the hairpin on her temples, the princess raised her hand and pointed at the apricot blossoms growing on the wall in the small courtyard where Zhou Mingchao lived alone; "The apricot blossoms in Shizi's mansion are blooming really well , I wanted to go in and have a look, but was stopped by the people in the house."

Zhou Mingchao's expression was indifferent: "Forgive me, Princess, that's my courtyard."

After going back and forth, the Princess couldn't hold back, and her face turned a little pale: "Really? I heard that this tree was picked by the Young Master of the Shen family to plant when he was young."

Zhou Mingchao nodded, thinking of Shen Xian's eyes warming up: "En."

Just one huh?The princess almost broke her long nails, she refused to go in and have a look, but let someone plant trees in the yard?

"The young master of the Shen family is in great interest!" The princess praised him.

Zhou Mingchao's eyes warmed up: "The child is naughty, don't worry about it."

Zhou Mingchao stood at a low place, unwilling to take two more steps to talk face to face with Princess Changping, but the princess lowered her head. Looking at Zhou Mingchao from this angle, she had a calm demeanor, Zhilan Yushu, and her demeanor. The children of those aristocratic families who lived in the capital since childhood were even better, mainly because Zhou Mingchao had a handsome face.

Because of this face, the princess suppressed her emotions a little, and she sat down on the railing again. Looking at Zhou Mingchao, the princess thought she was smiling like a flower: "Before I came to Zhoucheng, I met King Yongnan and Princess Wang, They told me to come and take a good look at Gu Shizi."

"Please don't worry about Princess Changping." Zhou Mingchao remained calm. In the letter from home, the Yongnan Wang and his wife did not mention a single word about Princess Changping.

"How old is the son?" Changping asked again after a moment of silence.

"Twenty." The tone was still light.

"I'm eighteen this year, counting, the son is still my elder brother."

"The princess has golden branches and jade leaves," Zhou Mingchao said calmly, "How dare I."

When they met for the first time, they couldn't get into the oil and salt, and the princess gritted a mouthful of silver teeth.

However, Zhou Mingchao has a calm personality. If you don't speak, he will not speak if he thinks it can be tolerated. The two of them are so wasted, seeing that it is getting late.

"My son,"

"Princess,"

This time the two actually spoke together, Changping was overjoyed: "Your Majesty will speak first."

"It's not early," Zhou Mingchao raised his eyes to look at her: "Going out too late will damage the princess's reputation. The princess might as well go back to the house while the sun is still there."

No one would say let a girl go home while the sun is still there!Changping almost vomited a mouthful of old blood, she forced a smile and said, "If that's the case, then I'll leave..."

"Come on, see off."

Changping: "..."

He was more eager to see her off than to see her coming.

Early the next morning, Shen Xian and Shen Xian made an appointment to go to the antique market to pick out two beautiful bottles and come back to arrange flowers. Longevity lock.

Zhou Mingchao got up when Tian Fang was just showing his belly was white, and when Shen Xian was not in bed, he had to go and wake him up.

When he just went out, Zhou Mingchao's hands in his outer robe paused, and the woman in brocade at the gate of the courtyard looked up at Xinghua, and when she saw Zhou Mingchao going out, she covered her lips and smiled: "My son woke up so early, I thought It's going to be a while!"

Zhou Mingchao didn't let her enter the courtyard, so she waited at the gate of the courtyard. Changping looked back, and a sensible maid came forward with a food box.

With the lid open, it was steaming in the cool weather.

"Your Majesty, our Princess thought that your Majesty had never eaten pastries in the capital, so I asked my maidservant to make some," Zhou Mingchao just got up, still a little casually lazy, the servant girl blushed after just one glance, He lowered his head and moved the food box towards Zhou Mingchao: "Your Majesty, try it, see if it suits your taste."

Zhou Mingchao became displeased when he saw Changping, but there was also an innocent maid standing in front of him.

"My son doesn't like to eat these sweets, and it's early in the morning, so he's tired of eating it." Some servants couldn't stand it any longer, and rushed to block people in the early morning, and returned the price to the princess.

Changping's servant girl was red-faced after being scolded, holding a food box and weeping: "Slave, slave girl is just..."

"My lord, your servants really don't know the rules." Changping raised his eyebrows involuntarily. Although she didn't care that a servant girl was reprimanded, she brought this servant girl with her, so she shouldn't let other people do it in front of her. Face reprimanded to go.

"My young master also doesn't like to hear people call him the eldest son." The servant continued to mutter in a low voice.

"It's afternoon." Zhou Mingchao tilted his head and said to the servant.

"Yes."

"Don't you like this title?" The Princess's face turned pale and white: "If you don't like it, I will..."

"It's okay," Zhou Mingchao interrupted her: "The princess thinks it's better to speak smoothly."

It's not someone who cares, it doesn't matter what you call him Zhou Mingchao.

Zhou Mingchao raised his hand to tidy up his clothes, and glanced at the food box in the servant girl's hand. This cold-blooded and ruthless person was unmoved by the pastries made by others.

"Please don't worry, the princess, I really don't like sweets, the princess should take it back."

"Your Majesty, you." Changping watched Zhou Mingchao walking past her in two or three steps, without looking sideways.

After Zhou Mingchao took two steps, he remembered something again, Xianxian likes to eat these miscellaneous good-looking things.

"What kind of pastry is this?"

The servant girl watched Zhou Mingchao go and come back in a daze. Only when Zhou Mingchao made a sound did he realize, and hurriedly explained: "Ah, this, this is Furong Cake, this is Jade Noodle Cake, this, this is..."

"Thank you."

Zhou Ming thanked the maid, took the food box with his hand, closed the lid carefully, and left again.

The servant girl blushed and her heart beat, as if Zhou Mingchao was still whispering warm words in front of her eyes just now.

Changping looked at the servant girl, and left in a self-conscious manner.

Chang Ping, who was repeatedly rejected, was a little annoyed, but Zhou Mingchao couldn't understand it. When he opened the door of Shen Xian's room with the food box, the person in the room was wrapped in a quilt and lay sprawled on the bed. sleeping.

The door was pushed open, Shen Xian rolled over on the bed, hid in the deepest part of the bed under the quilt, and continued to sleep.

"Xianxian, get up." Zhou Mingchao sat by the bed and patted the child's face lightly.

Shen Xian groaned, moved, turned over and hugged Zhou Mingchao's waist: "Brother Zhou."

Early in the morning, before I even opened my eyes, I started acting like a baby.
