Chapter 235 Mantis Catching Cicadas
Zhong Xingyan's footsteps were hasty, and he was a little absent-minded. He was thinking about the situation in today's parliament, and he didn't notice who the person in front of him was.

After all, this is not his wife, because it is impossible for Huai Liu to stand there silently waiting for him.

Thinking of Huai Liu, Zhong Xingyan showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, but this smile fell into Shuixi's eyes, and he really misunderstood it!
"Fourth Master is actually smiling at me? Is he smiling at me?" Shuixi's heart was like boiling water, and when he was dumbfounded and astonished, he saw Zhong Xingyan walking towards her.

Shuixi felt his limbs go numb and didn't know what to do. Go up to him?Should we go up there?

Caiyun on the outer bed whimpered twice and turned over. When Shuixi turned to look at her, Zhong Xingyan had already turned and entered the inner room.

When Shuixi saw the closed inner door, her heart felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured down, a good opportunity was missed like this, why is she so useless?
Why not go up?Why?
Shuixi bit her arm hard, the tip of her teeth pierced the skin on the arm, the piercing pain made Shuixi shed tears, but she held back her silence.

You must not give up like this!Absolutely not!

Shuixi wiped away tears silently at the side, Zhong Xingyan had already entered the house, took off his clothes and put his arms around his daughter-in-law to go to bed.

Sanskrit was already sleeping soundly, but when he was suddenly pulled into another embrace, he just frowned in dissatisfaction, looking for a better position to continue sleeping.

Zhong Xingyan looked at her playful and childish sleeping posture, and the melancholy and gloominess between her brows dissipated. She tapped her nose lightly, and she ground her teeth, and tapped again, and she ground her teeth again.

Starting to tease her heart, Zhong Xingyan teased her lips with his fingers, and the Sanskrit sound no longer responded, so he continued to tease.

"Hang Chi", Fanyin bit his finger hard, then turned and twisted to find another position and continued to sleep.

Zhong Xingyan's bite was also extremely painful, but he relaxed a little, trying to pull her back into his arms, closing his eyes and falling asleep.

When he woke up the next day, Zhong Xingyan was sitting on the edge of the bed, flipping through the book Fanyin was reading.

Sanskrit stretched out his arm inertially and hit Zhong Xingyan's leg. He opened his eyes to see that he was still there, and muttered, "You didn't leave today?"

"Just expecting me to leave?" Zhong Xingyan flicked his fingers, and teased her lips again.

Sanskrit hurriedly beat his hand aside, "Don't touch me, why do my teeth hurt so much!"

Even though Zhong Xingyan was bitten, he still smiled guilty, and did not tell her what happened last night, "By the way, Fang Jingzhi has already set a date to leave the capital, do you want to see him off?"

He suddenly mentioned Fang Jingzhi, and the Sanskrit voice remained silent for a while, "When?"

"Let's wait another seven days. The guard who sent me told me this, but he refused to tell me." Zhong Xingyan said with a hint of sarcasm, "This kid still has the sourness of a literati in his bones, it's really unbearable. "

"I'm going to go to the poor mountain valley to go through life and death, so let him be sore for a few days, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of it when I get there." Fanyin sat up and got out of bed, "Let me think about it, I haven't thought about it yet. Do you want to send him?"

Zhong Xingyan stopped continuing this topic, and began to beg Fanyin to cook him a bowl of noodles.

Sanskrit laughed and refused, so he stretched out his claws, and the husband and wife laughed teasingly again, causing Cuiqiao and Caiyun who were guarding outside to look at Shuixi with a ferocious face.

Shuixi didn't sleep all night last night, her eyes were black and bloodshot all over her eyeballs, making her look extraordinarily cold.

Originally, she wanted to wait for fourth master and fourth grandma to go in and bring hot water for the two masters to wash up, and also took this opportunity to take a step closer to fourth master, but now hearing their hearty laughter, Shuixi's heart was incomparably overwhelmed. pain.

Recalling the smile on the corner of Zhong Xingyan's mouth last night, her soul was about to float away.

Cuiqiao naturally knew what Shuixi was thinking, Caiyun just sneered, if Mama Feng and Cuiqiao hadn't told her not to break the matter, she would have rushed to scold Shuixi for being shameless.

After a long while, Zhong Xingyan called the servant girl to pass on the meal. Although he didn't get the noodles cooked by Fanyin himself, he was lingering again. Fanyin couldn't get up, and let her cook again when he was gone. thoughts.

After washing and eating, the husband and wife strolled around the small garden of Zhongfu for a while, and then went back to the house to read and write.

In a blink of an eye, the day passed, and at night, the vigilantes would start to rotate again.

Yesterday was Shuixi's spring grass, and today she still insists on keeping watch, "... Ordinarily, I should be here to watch the night today, yesterday was for sister Chuncao, so don't be too polite, sister, let me serve you too A few days."

The helplessness on Chuncao's face has been written all over, it can be seen that she still doesn't give up, she couldn't help persuading: "You have worked so hard, the fourth grandma will feel sorry for you when she sees you, Shuixi, I will clean up our house today, your hairpin Where did it go?"

"Ah?" Shuixi was taken aback, and in a panic, he quickly found an excuse, "I, I gave it to my father, my father wants to marry a stepmother without dowry."

Chuncao knew that this was an excuse, and patted her on the shoulder, "You have worried a lot about your father, and you gave it to the family for two taels of money a month. Fortunately, the fourth grandma doesn't care about our food and drink expenses. Otherwise, what can you do?"

Hearing that Chuncao brought up the fourth grandma again, Shuixi didn't want to listen any more, "You'd better go back and rest, don't persuade me anymore, I know it well."

Chuncao could naturally hear Shuixi's resistance, shook her head helplessly, and left.

Tonight it is Cuiqiao who is watching the night with Shuixi, Cuiqiao must understand the meaning of Chuncao's words, but she didn't point it out.

It's just that this night, Shuixi didn't succeed again, because Zhong Xingyan held the Sanskrit music to bathe and returned together when washing, and didn't let the servant girl close to serve him at all...

At the same time, Zhong Xinglian and Fang Shi were also talking about Sifang.

"I heard that Sifang has some troubles recently?" Zhong Xinglian suddenly mentioned Sifang, Fang's heart was shocked, and he forced a smile and said: "Second Master, who did you hear this from? It's all trivial matters , what's the trouble?"

"How can she not let the fourth brother have a maidservant and a concubine? The fourth brother is going to fight in the war immediately. The eldest sister also said that he must let him leave an heir as soon as possible, even if she is a newly married daughter-in-law. , but as far as the matter is concerned, didn't she know that she married into the Zhong family earlier? After all, the fourth brother is the son of the Zhong family, and we should all pay more attention to him. You should say what you have to say. .”

Zhong Xinglian's words made Fang sneer, "What can my sister-in-law do? She can also put her hand into other people's rooms? The fourth younger siblings don't blame me, but the fourth younger brother will blame me too. This kind of talk is not for me as a sister-in-law. , we need our great aunt to come forward."

Mentioning the Zhong family, Zhong Xinglian still sighed, "Let's talk about it later, anyway, you have to keep an eye on this matter, and you can't let the fourth sibling do anything reckless. There are no elders in the family, and such things will happen, alas..."

"Is there an elder? Then I'm afraid it's not your turn to say this." Fang's sarcasm made Zhong Xinglian look embarrassed, and he said a few words about the yard and hurried to the study, not looking for Fang's here again uncomfortable.

After seeing off Zhong Xinglian, Fang's face was as gloomy as a hazy sky, "It's that dead girl Ying'er who actually talked about the fourth room with the second master in private, it seems that she is so sensible, I am a grandmother. Heartless idler!"

"Now she has become the second master's aunt, and her seat in the yard is also highly regarded. These days, she has a very close relationship with the people below." Fang's close mother Tong Mama sneered, "According to the old slave, Second Mistress still has to keep an eye on her, if she dares to talk to Second Master in private now, she might do something more disgusting in the future, and she will become more and more daring."

Fang agrees with this very much, she has hated Ying'er for a long time, the last time she became an aunt, she was also forced to be put together.

"Go and call her here, I have something to order." As soon as Fang's mind moved, Tong's mother understood that Second Mistress had another idea, "Is it too late now? Or call her tomorrow?"

"What can't be passed on now? The second master rested in her room yesterday, so she will come and serve me today." Fang's words made Tong's mother leave the room immediately, and went to the door to order a message, Ying'er Originally, they had already washed and slept, but they were called over by Mrs. Fang, and they were really angry.

But no matter how angry he is, who made the second master rest in his room yesterday?

Ying'er got dressed again, and then went to Fang's room with her maid. Fang was sitting on the bed, and she had to warm up before entering the room to say hello, "Second Mistress is so late that she is in a hurry to summon the concubine. What urgent order?"

"I can't find you if there's nothing urgent?" Fang smiled slyly and pouted at the little girl next to him, "Don't worry about it, the second master has something to do today, so I'm going to the study, I won't go to the backyard."

Ying'er's face froze, and then she sat on the little bed, just as her butt touched her, Fang looked at her and said, "How is the maid in the fourth room these days? Do you have any letters?"

Ying'er didn't expect that Fang would suddenly ask about Shuixi, she shook her head and said, "The concubine is just persuading her, how can she get to the bottom of it?"

"That can't be done. The second master can talk about it just now. You can't ignore the matter of the fourth room." Fang looked at her, "Since this matter is all yours, you should take care of it."

"A concubine is a concubine, how can she manage the affairs of the fourth room? Isn't the second mistress making it difficult for the concubine?" Ying'er was very cold and shocked. She had a bad feeling that Fang was digging for her. However, when it comes to the second master's order, she still doesn't know how to refuse.

Fang's face suddenly turned cold, and he reprimanded:
"Don't think that you can take Joe in front of me as an aunt. Don't think that I don't know about the dirty tricks you used back then. I don't care how you teach the maid of the fourth room. This matter must be done. Otherwise, you don't want to get close to the second master!"

Ying'er's face turned ashen immediately, and she looked at Fang for a while, even if she was not angry in her heart, she could only bite her lip and nod, "My concubine understands..."
