Solitary pet

Chapter 11

He Sheng swallowed the honey glutinous rice in his mouth, looked at Wei Lin, then at Wei Xi, and just as he touched his eyes, Wei Xi turned his eyes back fiercely.

... She just wanted to see how much thinner Wei Xi was than Wei Lin. Except that Wei Lin's face was a little rounder than Wei Xi's, the two cousins' bodies were not much different.

Wei Lin's dejected expression fell into his eyes, and He Sheng couldn't bear it, so he comforted him: "Actually, in Wangjing, your figure is exactly the perfect figure that the women in the boudoir are looking for. One point more is more, and one point less is less." , if you go to Wangjing, then the daughter of the boudoir will go crazy with jealousy if she wants to see you."

Wei Lin: "Really?"

He Sheng stuffed honey glutinous rice into his mouth, and picked up another piece in his hand, "Of course it's true, you see, when a skinny person like me sees you, I wish I could eat more and grow up like you!"

Wei Lin's mood improved, no matter what He Sheng said was true or not, for this girl from Wangjing, everyone subconsciously thought that she was not only a girl from Dafu, but also that she had the unique temperament of a Wangjing girl.So everything she said about Wangjing was authoritative.

Wei Xi was upset. She said that Wei Lin is fat because he is fat. What qualifications does an outsider living in her house have to defend Wei Lin?In particular, she still has a slow look, which makes people angry.

So she pointed the finger at Hesheng: "According to what you said, the people in Wangjing are really strange. Just now I saw you eating fish, it seemed like you had never eaten it before. Could it be that a rich family like Dafu even eats fish?" Can't afford it?"

He Sheng just finished eating the last piece of honey glutinous rice, when he heard Wei Xi's question, recalling the spicy fish just now, his mouth felt hungry again.

"Although Dafu is rich, in Wangjing, because there are plains and no lakes all around, fresh live fish is very rare. Dafu's family may not be able to eat one in a year. If you want to eat it every day, only the royal family can eat it." I have this kind of treatment." She paused, saw the grandma looking at her, subconsciously smiled, and continued: "With the help of my aunt and uncle, even if I don't go to the palace, I can live a life of eating fish every day in Wei's house .”

She said this very sweetly, and the grandma was very comfortable listening to it. "I'll make it for you every day from now on."

Wei Xi blushed, hearing He Sheng's explanation, as if indirectly telling her how ignorant she was.As if unwilling to show weakness, Wei Xi said again: "Cousin He Sheng, you have so many amazing things to do in Wangjing, it's fine if you can't eat fish, but why do you wear old clothes even when you go out to visit someone's house?"

Everyone stopped talking.Everyone saw He Sheng's frugality when he entered the mansion, and it's not that he didn't talk about it, but it's just that some things are said behind the scenes, and it's too mean to put on the table.

Second Mistress tugged at Wei Xi's sleeve, Wei Xi pretended not to notice, bent his head and stared at He Sheng, insisting on hearing how she would humiliate herself.

He Sheng didn't feel embarrassed, but Wei Xi's words reminded her. She stood up and greeted the eldest grandma and the second grandma: "I was the one who was abrupt. If the second cousin didn't remind me, I'm afraid I will offend you unintentionally in the future. In the past When going out, they always wear these half-old and not new clothes, because the women around them are all dressed like this. If they go out with new clothes, they will often be seen as ostentatious, so they don’t wear new clothes when they go out. I hope my aunts will forgive me."

The eldest grandma helped her up, the sun was shining outside, white light shone in through the gap in the window, and shone on He Sheng's dress, suddenly shining brightly like wisps of cicadas.

The eldest grandma was surprised, and touched her sleeve: "This is Jin Chansi!"

The second grandma leaned over, she had never heard of this thing, but judging by the appearance of the eldest grandma, it was probably a good thing.

Wei Lin asked: "Mom, what is golden cicada silk?"

Grandma touched He Sheng's sleeve, loving it: "Golden cicada silk is made from silk spun out by top-quality silkworms and mixed with pigments made from precious flower seeds. This material is extremely rare. When your father went to the Western Regions, he brought it back. A bolt of golden cicada silk disappeared because of a fire in the warehouse. This material is hard to buy, and it looks like ordinary linen, but if it is exposed to the sun, it will show various colors. It is extremely thin and light. There is no weight on the body. Ordinary people can't afford to wear it."

Seeing that the material is so rare, everyone gathered around to look at it.He Sheng was in the middle, not used to being surrounded by crowds of stars, so he lowered his head subconsciously.

This is the new dress her mother cut out before she got married. It is said that it is a bride wearing golden silk, and the husband and wife will live in harmony for a lifetime.

Now that her husband is gone, she is the only wife left, how can she spend her whole life.

Wei Xi's face turned even redder, stomped his feet and ran out of the house.Wei Lin covered his mouth and smiled, feeling secretly refreshed, but he couldn't applaud immediately to celebrate.

From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Wei Xi running out, and He Sheng found himself in trouble: This time, he seemed to have completely offended the second-bedroom girl.

It was almost dusk, and the setting sun dyed the clouds red, and vendors on the street closed their stalls in twos and threes.

As soon as Shen Hao stepped into the yard, he called Pei Liang.

Pei Liang didn't dare to delay, and ran over when he saw Shen Hao's figure from afar.The prince had just finished talking with someone, and now he is calling him probably because of the girl on the boat.

"Father."

Shen Hao nodded, waved his sleeves behind his back, walked slowly, and asked, "I'll tell you about the investigation, how did the investigation go?"

His face was a little tired, the pale orange sunlight came from behind, half of it shone on his fair face, and half of it was projected on the ground, stretching his originally tall and slender shadow for a long time.

Pei Liang: "Don't worry, I've found out everything. The girl on the boat is surnamed Wei and named Hesheng. She is a collateral girl of the Wei family in Wangjing. She suffered a serious illness a few years ago and went to Shenghu to recuperate. Now she lives in the town of Wei. There is light in the house."

Shen Hao seemed dissatisfied with what he heard, and asked, "How old are you? Who are there in the family? Have you made a marriage promise?"

Pei Liang hurriedly replied: "Miss Wei is sixteen years old, her parents have passed away, she has no brothers and sisters, and she has never promised marriage."

Shen Hao said "hmm" and stopped talking, standing under the peach blossom tree, his gaze slightly narrowed, thoughtful.

It turned out to be a helpless orphan girl.

The corners of his eyes rolled up, thinking of the skin-to-skin kiss when he hugged her from behind, her body was so soft, he could almost smell the soft fragrance of her body.

He subconsciously spread out his palm, as if there was still her breath left there.

"Pei Liang, get ready, I want to make friends with the Patriarch of the Wei family."
