pretty lady in disguise

Chapter 61

After ordering noodles and dishes, we have to wait for a while. There are quite a lot of people in the noodle restaurant, so it may take some effort.

The four of them chatted to pass the time, Xiao Cancan talked the most, all the innocent words of children.

Because Zhan Huaichun didn't want Xiao Ren to see that he was attracted to the "little nun", after explaining that Chang'an was not feeling well and had to take Ayu out to serve him, he kept echoing Xiao Cancan and tried not to look at Ayu, But he was afraid that A Yu would be bored by himself, so he stretched out his long legs under the table, touched her feet secretly, and then met her eyes when she looked over.

Ayu didn't understand what he was doing. Seeing Zhan Huaichun kicking her, he glanced at her and then turned to Xiao Cancan as if nothing had happened. She didn't ask, and listened to their conversation quietly. When she heard something interesting, she will smile lightly.

She didn't say a word, but Xiao Ren felt a little uncomfortable.Even if A Yu was just a new girl, he couldn't bear her sitting aside cautiously in this situation.Zhan Huaichun is really smart when it comes to eating, drinking, having fun, teasing people, and doing business, but he is so stupid when he talks about love.With his little thought, does he think anyone doesn't know?On the other hand, he also felt that he was covering up very well and neglecting others for no reason.

Wanting to say a few words to A Yu so that she wouldn't be bored, Xiao Ren glanced to one side while lowering his head, his eyes paused for a moment on her small white hands, he couldn't speak in the end, and instead turned his head to look into the noodle shop.The guys inside came back and forth, taking away the bowls, and I didn't know when it would be their turn.

Watching and watching, gradually fascinated.

Xiao Ren doesn't know what it's like to like someone.

When he first met in a nunnery, he felt that the little nun was silly, diligent and sensible, and very attractive.Zhan Huaichun told him about the filth in the nunnery, and he couldn't help but want to help her. It had no other meaning, but he didn't want to see a simple girl degenerate into dust, like a snow-white pear flower that was about to fall into the mud. Can't help but catch it.Later he went to the nunnery a few more times, at noon she got up and gave him her food, at dusk she knelt in the incense hall alone, and finally at night, when the fire was all over the sky, she fell asleep in Zhan Huaichun's arms, ignorant of the world.

After she became Zhan Huaichun's maidservant, she gradually ceased to be a nun in his eyes, and became an ordinary girl, pure and kind, so he couldn't help but send her back, send her back, he didn't mean to see her blushing and shy, like It was a flower bone blooming in front of his eyes.He walked away in a panic, and when he was about to turn around the intersection, he looked back, just in time, she also looked back at him, her face was hazy in the setting sun, but her slender figure fell into his dream that night.

After waking up, he had the urge to see her more.

Xiao Ren didn't know if he liked it, maybe a little bit, very light, very light, not the kind mentioned in the book, not seeing each other for a day, like three autumns.

But he knows what a brother is. He and Zhan Huaichun grew up together, messed around together and were scolded by the elders. They are closer than brothers.

Zhan Huaichun met her first, she was rescued by Zhan Huaichun, and she was liked by Zhan Huaichun first, how could he snatch her from her?

So he doesn't go to the Zhanfu very much recently, and if he doesn't see it, he won't sink into it anymore, and he will always calm down after a long time.

"Here we come." The waiter yelled the name of the dish loudly, and brought him back to his thoughts. Xiao Ren smiled and sat upright, looking at his sister across the way.

The three adults are full of a bowl of noodles, and the portion is full.Xiao Cancan didn't have noodles, because she had already eaten a lot, Xiao Ren was afraid that she would be too late, so he only ordered a bowl of noodle soup for her, and then picked two cylinders of noodles from his own bowl, which was enough for her to eat.

The little girl ate and played, her big eyes looked around curiously, and finally she smiled and praised Ayu: "Sister Yu looks so good when she eats, she takes small bites."

Coincidentally, both Zhan Huaichun and Xiao Ren looked at A Yu, one stared at it with a smile, and the other quickly looked away.

A Yu blushed, and was even more afraid to eat.

Zhan Huaichun often eats with her, and knowing that she is shy, afraid that everyone else will finish eating in a while, she will put down her chopsticks, so she deliberately seduces Xiao Ren and his sister to talk, and when Ah Yu is almost finished eating, he bows his head to eat noodles, and even takes a few sips Soup was the last one to finish.

After paying the bill, the four got up.

Ayu was the first one, but she couldn't leave. She looked down and saw that the hem of her clothes was caught by the place where the legs of the wooden stool were inlaid.Just as she was about to bend down to do it, the man next to her who hadn't left her seat suddenly lowered her head and helped her with his hand that likes to hold a folding fan.In the light, the jade crown above his head glowed softly, he...

"Thank you, Master Xiao." Before Xiao Ren raised his head, A Yu backed away in time, bowed his head and thanked him, his voice was inaudible.

Xiao Ren smiled casually, and walked around her to pick up his sister: "Your second brother and A Yu still have things to do, let's go over there and set off the river lantern."

Xiao Cancan obediently let him hug him, and did not forget to invite Zhan Huaichun: "Second brother, are you going?"

Zhan Huaichun didn't notice the brief entanglement between the two on the opposite side, and patted her head with a smile: "I won't go, the second brother is a little tired, so I'm going back home now, you go." He didn't look at Xiao Ren when he spoke.

Xiao Ren didn't expose him either, and after exhorting each other, he hugged his sister and left.

Zhan Huaichun watched their brothers and sisters go away, turned back to A Yu and said, "It's dark and accidents are easy, let's go back, and I will take you out for a stroll tomorrow." In fact, he still wanted to go shopping again, but he was worried that he would run into Xiao Ren again. I can't speak clearly.

A Yu's mind was full of Xiao Ren bowing his head to help her, because he was nervous and didn't have the mood to stroll around, so he nodded in response.

She didn't know what liking was after reading the book that the young master gave her. She knew it, but she didn't understand it very well.

When a man likes a person, he will treat her well.

Beside her, Zhan Huaichun and Xiao Ren are good to her.

The best thing for her is Zhan Huaichun, he also said that, Zhan Huaichun should like her, right?But he is a young master, the second young master of the richest family in the county, just like the young master in the book, his wife should be a lady who matches him, no matter how much he likes a maid like her, she can only be an aunt.Zhan Huaichun might like her now and be kind to her, but he will marry a beautiful girl after all, and then like her wholeheartedly.

A Yu dare not like Zhan Huaichun, she doesn't seem to like him either.This person is good-looking, good-looking, and gentle, but he has such a bad temper, he might suddenly lose his temper at you one day.Ayu doesn't like this kind of person, she wants to find someone who is always gentle to her.

Just like Xiao Ren.He never gave her anything to eat, wear or play, but he was very gentle and his smile was as bright as a spring breeze.Zhan Huaichun thought she was stupid, Xiao Ren would comfort her with nice words.When she met bad guys on the street, it was Xiao Ren who rescued her and sent her back. Today, he helped her again. With such a small gesture, she felt very warm in her heart.Such a man, if he is so kind to his sister, he must be very kind to the girl he likes, right?

Dangui said he liked her...

Then just now, did he help her because he liked her?
Ayu couldn't help but look back.

The street was crowded with people, and the figure of that person had long since disappeared.

She lowered her head slowly, and suddenly understood one thing while feeling disappointed.Even if Xiao Ren likes her, even if he is the gentle man she likes, she can't like him, because Xiao Ren's status is higher than Zhan Huaichun...

"Why are you so downcast? Don't want to go back?" Zhan Huaichun finally noticed something strange about A Yu after he didn't get a response after saying a few words.

"No, young master, let's go quickly, I'm afraid that Pea will be scared at home." A Yu hastily covered up, secretly annoyed at her wild thoughts.She is Zhan Huaichun's maid now, so she should be a maid to serve him in peace, and when he let her out, find an honest and honest man to marry.Maybe that person is not as rich or as good-looking as these young masters, but he is the same person as her, there is no difference in status.

Zhan Huaichun was very appreciative, and snorted dissatisfiedly: "A dog knows what it means to be afraid? He fell asleep early."

Ayu didn't argue with him, although she really wanted to say that Pea was as afraid of thunder as his young master.

The two walked slowly back to the Zhanfu.

At this time, just after one watch, lanterns were lit everywhere in the mansion, and there was a faint commotion in the street in the distance.Zhan Huaichun was suddenly reluctant to part with her so early, he bluntly sent her back but couldn't say anything, and said, "I bet you, Pea must be asleep by now, if you don't believe me, let's go and have a look together."

"Master, let's go back to the room to rest, it's getting dark." He likes to bully Pea the most, and Ayu is afraid that if he passes by, Pea will be woken up by him even if she falls asleep.

Of course Zhan Huaichun disagreed and insisted on going to Evergreen Garden to watch the dog.The trail was quite dark on the way up, so Ayu persuaded the man twice and then shut up.

The moonlight is like water, elongating the shadows of the two.Zhan Huaichun was a few steps behind, his eyes seemed to be on her body, he looked at the little hat on her head, at her earlobe, at the side of her face, he couldn't bear to move away.In the past, when it was hot and cold, he would think that his yard was too far from the gate, but at this moment, he really hoped that Evergreen Garden could be further away.

Seeing that he could see the entrance of Changqing Garden after turning another corner, Zhan Huaichun suddenly walked a few steps and stopped in front of A Yu, pointed to the garden and said, "By the way, you haven't seen the lake view at night, have you? Let's go." , I’ll take you to see it, the moon is full during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the lakeside is the best place to enjoy the moon.” After speaking, A Yu didn’t give a chance to refuse, and walked over there.

Ayu had no choice but to keep up, thinking about the moon scene by the lake, and yearning for it in his heart.The nunnery is not allowed to go out at night. In the past, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the most she could do was lie down in front of the window and look at the moon.

Hearing her follow, Zhan Huaichun slowed down again, waiting for her to walk together.

The moonlight is so beautiful that you can see it clearly even without a lantern, but Zhan Huaichun still reminds Ayu from time to time, lest she fall, until she reaches the shore.

There was wind in the autumn night, and the lake was not calm. It kept beating against the embankment, and the bright moon in the middle of the lake was also blown out sparkling by the wind.

The still moon hangs high in the sky, and the broken moon floats in the water. It is the most magnificent autumn scenery that A Yu has ever seen.

"How? Didn't it come in vain?" Zhan Huaichun stood facing the wind, shielding her from the wind.

A Yu looked at the lake and nodded: "It's so beautiful."

Zhan Huaichun looked at the lake and moonlight in her eyes with a smile: "Do you want to see more?"

The wind was strong, but Ah Yu still nodded.

"Let's go, let's go to the boat to see." There was a double-covered boat tied to the side of the waterside pavilion, and Zhan Huaichun motioned for Ah Yu to walk over with him.

"I'll help you." There was a lot of turmoil on the lake, and when he got to the boat, Zhan Huaichun held Ayu's hand and pulled her up.The boat swayed, and Ayu didn't have the heart to think about anything else, so he held his arm tightly.Zhan Huaichun liked this feeling, and deliberately walked to the south-facing canopy before stopping.There was a couch with a thin quilt inside, Zhan Huaichun let go of Ayu, pulled the quilt and walked to the door of the boat tent, regardless of whether the boat plank was dirty or not, he wrapped himself up and sat down, leaning against the side door to enjoy the moon comfortably, He completely forgot that there was a little maid behind him.

"Master?" A Yu looked at him in shock.

"Oh, I blocked you from coming out." Zhan Huaichun looked back at her, and shrank to the side to make room for her to go out.

The wind at the mouth of the boat was even stronger, making the straps hanging from his crown rattle. Ayu didn't really want to go there, but there were thick curtains on the left and right, so she couldn't see anything. She was afraid that she would be shaken when she walked back. Get off the boat, if you don't leave, you can only see Zhan Huaichun's back and a little bit of lake water.After hesitating for a while, Ah Yu decided to go, she came to the boat to enjoy the moon...

The boat was wobbly and unsteady, Ayu supported the couch and slowly moved towards Zhan Huaichun's side, and finally strode to Zhan Huaichun's side, and leaned on the door Leng to head out.

"Ah..." After poking out, Ah Yu hurriedly covered the top of his head, his hat was almost blown away by the wind.

"Sit down."

Zhan Huaichun had been waiting for her for a long time, and while she was in a hurry to cover his hat, he dragged him down, and sat Ayu between his legs.She panicked, but Zhan Huaichun quickly pulled the quilt to cover the upper bodies of the two, and used his shoulders to press the corners of both quilts against the door.She wanted to struggle in the quilt, Zhan Huaichun hugged her arms with both hands, put his chin on her head to press the hat for her, and said in a low voice before she misunderstood: "Ayu, don't be afraid, I just want to watch the moon with you, Feng Daddy, we won't be cold with the quilt covered like this. Be good, look at the front, doesn't it look good?"

His voice was low, and there was a kind of bewitchment in it, or it might be that the sudden warmth eased her fear, A Yu forgot to struggle, and looked forward.The two bright moons in the lake in the sky were in front of her, and the night blurred the trees and walls in the distance. It seemed that there was only the night sky, the lake, the bright moon, the sound of the wind, and the motionless man who was holding her tightly behind him. .

"Master, shall we go back?" It looks good, but this posture is too intimate.

"Ayu, I know you like it. Let's take a look. I'm afraid you won't be able to see it again when you get married." Zhan Huaichun moved slightly to one side, his chin left her hat, and immediately put his head against the brim of her hat, and then Wei Wei tilted her head and said to her: "Are you still afraid that I will bully you? Didn't you say you believed me?"

His low questioning was right next to her ears, and A Yu actually had the illusion that someone was going to expose her lie, and her heart beat nervously because of this.

"Ayu, do you believe me or not?" Zhan Huaichun stared at Yuexia's soft and flustered face, his lips were getting closer and closer to her ears, he really wanted to taste it.

"Believe it, I believe it." A Yu didn't know the danger at the moment, she just forced herself to calm down, Zhan Huaichun really wanted to bully others, so there was no need to bother, what was she afraid of?
"...Then let's enjoy the full moon, in the future, the chances are really limited." Zhan Huaichun paused, feeling disappointed that he couldn't taste it.

He sighed faintly, A Yu raised his head to look at the moon, thinking that he would never see this kind of moon scene again after leaving here, suddenly felt desolate in his heart.

The two fell silent completely, their bodies swaying with the awning boat.

The night became darker and darker, and as time passed, Ayu was blown to the point of tears, closed his eyes and said, "Master, I'm a little sleepy, let's go back?"

"Okay." Zhan Huaichun didn't dare to force him to stay.

But just as he was about to get up, the hull of the boat shook suddenly, and then footsteps came from behind.

"Don't talk." Zhan Huaichun hugged Ayu tightly, and whispered in her ear.

Ayu also heard it, and for some reason she was a little scared.

"Cousin, you hurt me..."

After a muffled sound, a familiar voice came from the opposite boat canopy, but although it was a complaint, it didn't have a coquettish taste.

"It's Cousin and Eldest Young Master." Ayu reminded Zhan Huaichun in a low voice.

"Hush!" As she tilted her head to look back, Zhan Huaichun's chin lightly pressed against her forehead, and he held her hand nervously.

Listening to the movement, something seems wrong...
