It turned out that according to Bai Mengwan's explanation, after she and her elder sister Bai Junwan rented the house in the Zhou Mansion, they no longer had much money in their hands. In order to make a living, her elder sister Bai Junwan embroidered day and night, but she couldn't help. blame yourself.

At dinner today, Qingqing wanted to eat meat, but her sister Bai Junwan shed tears and refused, which made Bai Mengwan's heart ache.But at this moment, she suddenly thought of one thing, that is, there is a pond in the garden of the Zhou Mansion. She and Biao'er had been to the garden before, and found that although the pond was frozen, there were fish swimming under the ice .

Thinking of the fish in the pond in the garden, Bai Mengwan made a decision, that is, when there was no one at night, she went to the garden to break the ice, and caught a few fish for Qingqing to improve her food. That scene at night.

After listening to Bai Mengwan's narration, Zhou Zhong couldn't laugh or cry, he never thought that the other party came to the garden in the middle of the night to catch fish?But he also admired Bai Mengwan, after all, as a weak woman, she dared to run into the desolate back garden in the middle of the night, this kind of courage alone is enough to be admired.

"Miss Bai, Zhuaner told me today that she heard someone knocking something in the garden at night a few days ago, that person should be you too?" Zhou Zhong suddenly remembered something, and immediately asked again.

I saw that Bai Mengwan had already heard the commotion in the garden after hearing Bracelet for a few days, she was startled at first, then nodded, and said a little shyly: "Well, actually, I had this idea a few days ago, it's just that day I was not well prepared at night, and I didn’t find a good tool, so I couldn’t break the ice, and I was timid, and I got scared after smashing a few times, so I dropped my things and ran back!”

Hearing Bai Mengwan admitting that she was timid, Zhou Zhong couldn't help but laugh. Just now he was still admiring the courage of a little girl on the other side, but he didn't expect that she would be afraid.But after thinking about it, Bai Mengwan knew that she was timid, but she dared to come to the back garden late at night, which made people even more admirable.

At this time, Bai Mengwan saw that Zhou Zhong hadn't spoken, and finally begged bravely: "Zhou... Mr. Zhou, I know it's not good for me to steal the fish in the garden, but please don't report it to the police, okay? Don't tell my sister, or she will really be sad to death!"

Looking at Bai Mengwan's lovely and pitiful appearance, Zhou Zhong couldn't help feeling a little soft-hearted, because he saw a bit of himself in Bai Mengwan. When the Zhou family first went bankrupt, he racked his brains to make his family better. living condition.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhong finally sighed and said, "Okay, since we have met several times, we are all destined, I can pretend that this incident never happened, but I have one condition!"

Hearing that Zhou Zhong did not pursue this matter, Bai Mengwan couldn't help being happy, but when Zhou Zhong finally said that there were conditions, she immediately became nervous, especially thinking of Zhou Zhong peeping at her just now, which made Bai Mengwan pull involuntarily. Tightening his clothes, he took two steps back warily.

Seeing Bai Mengwan's vigilance, Zhou Zhong couldn't help being a little speechless, thinking that if he was really a pervert, he would have stripped her naked and thrown him on the bed just now, and now it is estimated that what should have happened has already happened.

Although he was a little depressed, Zhou Zhong still said: "Actually, when I just came back today, Zhuo'er proposed to let your sisters bring Qingqing to the inner house. , can have a playmate and someone to talk to, and I've promised."

Hearing that Zhuo'er actually wanted them to move to the inner house, Bai Mengwan couldn't help being very moved. After all, they hadn't known each other for a long time, but Zhuan'er had completely regarded them as good sisters, and now she let them move to the inner house. Said that they have been completely treated as family members.

I saw Zhou Zhong finally stated his condition: "I hope that after your sisters move in, you can spend more time chatting with Zhuanger. After all, she stays at home all day, and there was no one around her to talk to before. Now she Being able to get along with your sisters is considered our fate, isn't this condition too much?"

Hearing that Zhou Zhong proposed such a condition, Bai Mengwan was also relieved, but then she thought of another thing, and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Zhou, I usually have nothing to do. Sister Bracelet naturally has nothing to do with her, but my sister needs to embroider every day to support the family, so I don’t think I have time to spend with Sister Bracelet, so please be considerate, Master!”

"Haha, no problem. I just want you to spend more time with the bracelet when you have time. Usually, you have business to do, so I won't force it!" Zhou Zhong said with a smile.In the future, he will be busy with the affairs of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, and he will definitely be away from home often. Bracelet and Duoer naturally need someone to accompany him. It is much better to have an illiterate servant girl accompany the two younger sisters.

At this time, Zhou Zhong saw that Bai Mengwan had almost recovered, so he stood up and said: "It seems that the sky is almost dawn, and your clothes don't have time to dry. You put on my clothes first, and I will take you back!"

Bai Mengwan nodded after hearing this, and tidied up her clothes with a blushing face. Zhou Zhong took off her clothes just now. After she was able to move, she took the clothes to the stove to bake, but now they are still wet, and they can't move at all. wear.

After Bai Mengwan packed her clothes, Zhou Zhong also prepared the lanterns, and then the two of them left his small courtyard together. Originally, they wanted to go west to the courtyard where Bai Mengwan lived, but Zhou Zhong took her directly to the east. Let's go, this made Bai Mengwan ask very strangely: "Young Master Zhou, are we going in the wrong direction?"

But Zhou Zhong said without looking back: "The two of us tossed about half the night and almost fell into the ice hole and drowned. Of course we can't go back empty-handed after spending so much effort. You and I will go to the garden again and you will know." .”

Hearing what Zhou Zhong said, Bai Mengwan felt strange, wondering what Zhou Zhong was going to do in the garden?But at this time, she already trusted Zhou Zhong very much, and she was not worried that the other party would hurt her, so she had no choice but to follow Zhou Zhong with doubts.

I saw Zhou Zhong came to the pond again with a lantern, and asked Bai Mengwan to stand on the bank to wait for him, while he went down to the ice with the lantern, and soon came to the ice that was broken by them.Bai Mengwan watched Zhou Zhong search for it on the ice for a while, and soon came back with a lantern. At this time, there were a few big carp frozen in popsicles in his hand.

"I found four big fish in total. Only Zhuan'er in our family likes to eat fish, so I'll give you a cheap price. I'll give you these three, and I'll just take one!" Zhou Zhong smiled and stuffed three carps to Bai Mengwan and said.After the water surface freezes in winter, the water below does not freeze, but is in a state of hypoxia. Therefore, when a hole is opened in the ice, the fish under the ice will not only gather at the hole, but even jump to the ice. On the surface, Zhou Zhong only needs to pick up the fish.

"You... where did you get the fish?" Bai Mengwan asked stupidly holding three big carps in her arms, she didn't know that fish would jump out of the ice in winter, so naturally I was very surprised.

"Don't worry about it!" Zhou Zhong explained lazily, and then smiled again, "Speaking of which, your brain is pretty good. When our family was about to run out of food some time ago, I didn't expect to be able to take the food from the pond. Fish to catch and eat."

Bai Mengwan also asked curiously after hearing Zhou Zhong's words: "Has your Zhou Mansion encountered food shortages before?"

"Of course!" Zhou Zhong didn't hide anything, and introduced very generously, "Before my father had an accident, all the property in the family was used to pay off the debts. At the most difficult time, the whole family had no money, and even Butler Xu’s private money was used to buy rice. At that time, I was also racking my brains to find a way. You may not believe it. Once I brought dozens of catties of pastries to Duo’er all at once, all with my face Change!"

Hearing what Zhou Zhong said was interesting, Bai Mengwan couldn't help but giggled, but then she sighed faintly: "I really envy sister Zhuan'er for having such a good brother like you. She works hard to support her family, but she is a woman after all, and it is inconvenient to do anything."

The two chatted and walked, and soon came to the door leading to the front yard, but Bai Mengwan was unwilling to go through the door, because if she went out from here, she had to go to the front yard and ask her sister to open the door for her, and she didn't want to let her sister open the door. My sister knew that she went out to catch fish at night.

Hearing this, Zhou Zhong smiled and said, "You don't want your sister to know that you came out at night, but how will you explain how these three fish came here tomorrow morning?"

"This..." Bai Mengwan also showed a distressed expression when she heard it. She ran out of her mind when her mind got hot before, and she didn't think about the future at all.

Seeing the other party's carelessness, Zhou Zhong couldn't help laughing again: "Forget it, I'm a good person to the end, I'll do you another favor, get up early in the morning, then open the door, and then take out the fish and tell your sister, Just say that I asked Butler Xu to send it, I will say hello to Butler Xu, and I won't let you be exposed!"

"Thank you Mr. Zhou!" Bai Mengwan thanked Zhou Zhong excitedly when she saw Zhou Zhong was willing to help her lie.Then Zhou Zhong sent her to a wall, outside this wall was the yard where Bai Mengwan lived, and there was a ladder on the wall, it seemed that she climbed over the wall through the ladder.

Seeing Bai Mengwan climb up the wall and sit down, Zhou Zhong helped her turn the ladder over the wall, and handed over the clothes and fish in her hands. Finally, Bai Mengwan showed a sweet smile to Zhou Zhong, and then went back to the house along the ladder. to your own yard.
