pretty lady in disguise

Chapter 48

Zhan Huaichun brought A Yu a whole box of jewelry, three pairs of earrings and three pairs of bracelets.

The ruby ​​is as strong as fire, the emerald is as green as a lake, and the suet jade is as soft and delicate as wine. All kinds of colors are dazzling under the light, which dazzles Ayu's eyes and her mind.She ignorantly heard Zhan Huaichun say that she will only buy these for now, and buy other hairpins when her hair grows...

Ayu forgot how she returned to the outer room, forgot how she fell asleep, she seemed to be dreaming, dreaming of a colorful scene, but she couldn't remember exactly what she dreamed of.There was the faint sound of a cock crowing in the distance, and Ah Yu slowly opened his eyes.

It was getting brighter outside.

A Yu got up to get dressed, and when she was folding the quilt, she caught a glimpse of a red sandalwood box on the side of the pillow.

The conversation with Zhan Huaichun last night suddenly came to mind, A Yu loosened the quilt for the time being, turned around to open the wooden box, and the black silk satin was full of radiance.

It turns out that what happened last night was true, she was not dreaming, then, she really called Zhan Huaichun second brother?
He said he was nice to her because he regarded her as his younger sister. Thinking about it carefully, he was really nice to her except when he lost his temper, he was really nice to her. Even those times of losing his temper turned out to be her fault.It's just that, in the future, do you want to call him second brother in private?

Changing from the young master to the second elder brother seems a bit overwhelming.

Confused about addressing, when he went in to help Zhan Huaichun get dressed, Ayu blushed, and called young master to fear that he would get angry, and called second elder brother, feeling inexplicably embarrassed.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhan Huaichun looked at her in the mirror when he sat down after washing his face and asked Ah Yu to comb her hair.The things were sent out, and he had a good night's sleep. He is in a good mood now.

A Yu secretly glanced at him, and asked in a low voice, "...how shall I call you from now on?"

Zhan Huaichun froze for a moment, then smiled the next moment, feeling that she was struggling with this issue.

"It's not good for the young master to know that I recognize you as a younger sister, so you and I can know about it. From now on, you will still call me young master, and I will let you call me two...you can change it when I tell you to change it." Zhan Huaichun Ergen A little hot.She took the matter of brother and sister seriously, and to him it was just an excuse to let her accept the gift happily, it was nothing at all.He just likes to tease her, but he never thought of treating her like a righteous sister or a younger sister.Another reason is that it sounds nice when she calls Second Brother, and he feels itchy in his heart, but he only wants to hear it at night when his mind is moving, and he is not at ease during the day.

It’s fine if you don’t have to call Second Brother, Ayu heaved a sigh of relief.

After dinner, Zhan Huaichun went to the Plum Garden, and Ah Yu was in the room reading the books he brought from the study. Not long after, he heard noises outside, but it was Chang An who brought over a fruit plate: "This is spiced pear, from our side. Common sour pears and sweet pears are different, and the young master also brought them from the capital, you can try them."

A Yu picked it up curiously, and after watching Chang An leave quickly, she went back to the house.

After coming to Zhanjia, she has eaten a lot of fruits. The skin of the sour pear is thick and the skin of the sweet pear is thin. This kind of spiced pear looks similar to the sweet pear, but the fruit is small and has a strong aroma.The spiced pears were washed, so Ayu sniffed them lightly and tried to take a bite.

very sour……

A Yu's face was wrinkled, but the sour taste was delicious.

In the next few days, even if Zhan Huaichun was not in the mansion when he went out, new food would still be delivered every day. Ayu was so beautiful in his heart, and every night before leaving, when Zhan Huaichun asked her to call her second brother, she shouted more and more The smoother it is.

Ayu lived a relaxed and nourishing life, but Zhan Huaichun was very busy, Zhan Zhihan seemed to be afraid that he would regret it, so he took the time to familiarize him with Zhan's business, so Xiao Ren came to him several times and he was not free.This day it was rare to go to dinner at noon and be fine. Zhan Huaichun stood at the door of the restaurant, thought about it, and decided to go back home.It was hot, so he went home to take a bath, and went to find Xiao Renjuju when it was cooler in the evening.

When he got home, he went to the main house first as usual, but he didn't see Ayu inside or outside, so Zhan Huaichun went to the study to find someone.This girl has been obsessed with reading recently. Zhan Huaichun saw that she read mostly travel notes and unofficial histories, so he was relieved. If she read the Confucianism in the imperial examinations that he used to decorate his appearance, he should be worried. It's not okay to get what you want.

In the study, Ah Yu was sitting on the north side by the window, looking engrossed.The trees outside the window are shady and the cool breeze is blowing, which is very comfortable.

Zhan Huaichun himself felt that he was kind to the servant girl, so he looked at it silently for a while, then walked away, soaked in the bathtub for a while to cool down completely, and went to the study again.

"The young master is back." Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, A Yu turned her head, saw that it was him, she smiled and stood up, ready to go forward to meet him.

"No, you can continue reading, I'll find a book to read with you." Zhan Huaichun raised his hand to signal her to sit down, then turned and went to the bookshelf.There are a lot of books, and the ones in the front row are the ones he usually likes to read. Zhan Huaichun walked slowly with his hands behind his hands, and found three copies of "Spring and Autumn".He was stunned, why didn't he remember that these three books were placed here?

Did Changan put it in the wrong place when it was packed?

Zhan Huaichun ignored it, and continued to walk forward. After taking two steps, his heart moved, he turned his head to look at A Yu, with the corner of his mouth raised, he took a copy of "Spring and Autumn" in his hand, and walked towards the window, pulling a chair by A Yu. Sit next to me.When he put the book on the table, A Yu instinctively squinted to see the words on the spine of the book, his face was on fire, and he quickly lowered his head.

She blushed like a rosy cloud, Zhan Huaichun was slightly stunned, looking at the chairs they were about to touch, maybe she felt that it was inappropriate to be too close?
He glanced at her quietly, thinking wildly all day long, isn't it just reading a book together, what's there to be shy about?
Zhan Huaichun deliberately pretended not to understand, and sat down directly, but kept staring at Ayu, seeing that she was getting more and more uneasy, he suddenly became nervous for no reason, moved to the side by some mysterious means, and secretly cursed "Trouble".Just as she was about to turn the pages of the book, the little servant girl stood up suddenly, and she was planning to leave!

Zhan Huaichun was upset, grabbed her arm, stared and asked, "Where are you going?"

A Yu didn't dare to look at him at all: "I, I'll go to the room to read." Why is this man so thick-skinned, that kind of book, even if the two recognize brother and sister, he should avoid it?Ah, could it be that he didn't know that she had already read it and thought she didn't understand, so he could read it in front of her seriously but pretended to be reading a serious book?Now that she is in a hurry to leave, isn't it...

As soon as the idea came to light, Ah Yu immediately sat down again, lowered his head and said, "Forget it, it's cool here, I'll watch it here." It would be embarrassing to break it apart, just like talking to Xiao Ren that day, pretending to be something Don't understand.Although it's embarrassing to sit here, it's better than letting him know that she has seen that kind of picture.

"Inexplicable!" She calmed down, Zhan Huaichun slowly let go, and couldn't help but say something to her.

A Yu didn't dare to refute, she stared at her book without blinking.

Zhan Huaichun thought she was engrossed in watching it, and became curious, so he leaned over and glanced at it, and found that it was a story about a ranger who drew his sword to help when he saw injustice, and it was about a rescued girl peeking at the savior. Mighty, long eyebrows, phoenix eyes and many other words of praise.Zhan Huaichun looked at A Yu, and automatically regarded her concentration as a yearning for a ranger. He couldn't help snorting, snatched the book from her hand, and then pushed his own to her: "Don't just look at these blind words all day long." Made it up, look at this, it's official history, something that really happened before."

Ah Yu is stupid, he actually let her watch this?Siblings can watch this together?

"Look, what are you doing standing there?" Zhan Huaichun urged her in displeasure.

Ayu was so anxious that her palms were sweating, she definitely couldn't watch it, but why didn't she watch it, she had to find a suitable reason, right?
Zhan Huaichun next to him urged him again, and Ayu stood up in a panic, bowing his head and declining politely: "Master, master, this, isn't this the book you got so hard? It must be a rare book, I dare not read it, I Afraid of breaking it, the young master should see for himself!"

This time it was Zhan Huaichun's turn to be stupid, his brows were furrowed, his eyes wandered back and forth between A Yu and the book: "What rare book? Who told you?" As he spoke, he picked up "Spring and Autumn" in bewilderment, and opened it casually. Yes, glimpsed a picture.This was so different from his expectations, Zhan Huaichun couldn't help but look intently, and saw a man and a woman standing in front of the window, the woman was holding the window, and the man was standing behind her...

Ayu didn't see him move, so he explained: "I went shopping with Dangui that day, and Young Master Xiao mentioned it when he sent us back. He said it was a book that the young master had finally obtained, and he told me not to read it, so as not to read it. You know you're angry."

"Then have you read it?" After a long time, Zhan Huaichun heard his own voice.

"I didn't see it!" Ah Yu immediately denied.

Zhan Huaichun stared at her, her ears were red, her neck was also red, and she said she hadn't seen it, who would believe it?

However, in this case, self-deception is better than exposure.

"Go to the hot water room and bring a charcoal basin to light a fire." Zhan Huaichun quickly calmed down and ordered calmly.

A Yu raised his head in doubt, facing Shang Zhan Huaichun's calm and handsome face, he was neither ashamed nor angry, at first glance he looked somewhat similar to the Eldest Young Master.Looking at it, he urged her with his eyes, and Ayu hurried to go. When he came in with a charcoal basin, he found that the three books were all on the table.

After she put it away, Zhan Huaichun put the books one by one into the charcoal basin, and explained in a deep voice: "These three books were given to me by Xiao Ren, and I haven't read them all this time. The real "Spring and Autumn Annals". The real "Spring and Autumn Annals" records the events of more than 200 years from Lu Yingong to Lu Aigong. After being organized by Confucius, it is one of the Confucian classics. The three books sent by Xiao Ren, huh, don’t mention them, Fortunately, he has the nerve to slander me for collecting it myself."

He had a serious face, and he spoke "Spring and Autumn" casually, and what he did proved that this book was not his favorite, and A Yu immediately believed him.Recalling again what Zhan Huaichun said in the nunnery that Xiao Ren made him disguise himself as a woman on purpose, A Yu bit her lip annoyed, Young Master Xiao is so bad, Zhan Huaichun is his friend, how could he frame him like this?
She is the same, people believe what they say, Zhan Huaichun behaves well when they sleep on the same bed with her, no matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like someone who likes to read that kind of books.Thinking of this, A Yu looked at Zhan Huaichun with guilt in his eyes.

Zhan Huaichun didn't look at her, turned his head to look out the window, he was silent, and only after the fire was extinguished did he whisper: "Take it away."

He looked lonely, and A Yu couldn't bear it, so he comforted him in a low voice: "Master, don't be sad, Master Xiao..."

Zhan Huaichun smiled at her, and smiled wryly: "Don't worry, I know he likes to mess around, but this time his books are too absurd, and they are not what a gentleman should read... Forget it, take it away, I will see you later." Persuade him well, his nature is not bad, there is still time to change it now."

"Master Xiao is so kind to Master Xiao." He said this, and A Yu clumsily agreed, picked up the charcoal basin that was still emitting light smoke, and withdrew.

As soon as she left, Zhan Huaichun laughed immediately, took out three "good books" with faded covers from the drawer, stuffed them randomly into the three real "Spring and Autumn" book covers that had just been torn off, and finally hid them together in the box Lock it well, and save it for further study when you have time in the future.

After finishing his work, Zhan Huaichun strode out of the study and shouted to Chang'an: "Prepare the horse!"

He was going to settle accounts with Xiao Ren, he thought it was too slow to take a carriage!
