pretty lady in disguise

Chapter 71

"Ayu, my elder brother sent someone to urge me to go back last night." During breakfast, Zhan Huaichun said a little sullenly.

A Yu had just finished a mouthful of porridge, and was about to scoop it up with a spoon in her hand. When she heard this, she couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth, fearing that he would see her, so she drank the porridge quickly to cover it up.

But Zhan Huaichun kept staring at her after speaking, how could he not find out?

As a result, his chest became more stuffy, and he put down the bowl and chopsticks and sat there sulking.

Ayu ate his food silently, and gradually began to wonder how long he had been away, how many days a day, or, never come back again?
Her eating movements slowed down, and her eyes were a little wandering. Zhan Huaichun was afraid that she would be thinking wildly, so he hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, I'll go back and ask him what he wants me to do. If it's okay, I'll be back this evening."

"I'm not worried, the young master should stay in the county and help the young master more." A Yu said sincerely.

To be honest, if Zhan Huaichun really never comes back, she will definitely not get used to it in a short period of time, but if he lives here all the time, she can bear it if he sneaks over to eat and talk nonsense, but she can't bear it and she wants to go out and have a look Sometimes he insisted on following.She was angry and drove him away, but he deliberately kept a hundred steps away from her, and then said that he just wanted to look around and didn't follow her, so she didn't dare to go out at all, for fear of being pointed out by the villagers.

With her like this, Zhan Huaichun was very worried.

She has him in her heart, and he can already see it, for example, the joy in her eyes when he left and saw him that day, but she just refused to admit it, she didn't even admit that she liked it, and it was even more impossible to go back with him Or agree to marry him.Zhan Huaichun knew that she was frightened by his bad temper before, and she was afraid of him, so at most he could only tease her verbally, he didn't dare to take him home directly, let alone have further intimacy.

But he really wanted to, she was so delicate, so easily shy, and her red face and lowered head almost drove him into a wolf.

But he couldn't find a way to completely capture her heart, he couldn't prove to her that he would never lose his temper with her again...

Feeling irritable, Zhan Huaichun put on his shoes and went to the ground, and looked back at her before going out: "Ayu, wait for me to have dinner together."

A Yu looked up unexpectedly, the man had already walked out, and soon the sound of horseshoes came from outside, getting further and further away.

Ayu was out of his mind for a while, and soon remembered what Zhan Huaichun had delayed and failed to do in the past two days.She called Yinger to come in and clean up the table, and when Yinger was done, she took her out together.She was going to pay homage to her parents' graves, so she had to find out where her parents' graves were with her uncle before she went, and she went to the village warehouse to buy incense and burning paper.

It was the first time the master and servant went out together, which naturally attracted the attention of many villagers. Ayu was a little cautious, and tried several times to muster up the courage to smile at the villagers but failed. He lowered his head slightly and only looked at the road in front of him.Ying'er was more open than her. She looked around and found that many villagers were also looking behind them. She couldn't help but look back curiously. Seeing this, she pulled Ayu's sleeves and said, "Girl, Chang'an is following behind." Woolen cloth!"

A Yu couldn't believe it, didn't Chang An always serve Zhan Huaichun?

But who is the young boy with a hippie smile who follows far behind, but Chang An?

"Girl, shall we still go?" Ying'er asked worriedly.

A Yu bit her lip, nodded, and continued walking.Chang'an's face may still be thinner than Zhan Huaichun's, the distance is far away, and Chang'an's appearance is not as ostentatious as Zhan Huaichun's, so he is not very conspicuous when walking on the street.

Yinger came early and was familiar with the situation in the village. With her leading the way, Ayu soon arrived at the uncle's house.

Unexpectedly, there is only one sister-in-law in the uncle's family, and everyone else has moved to the town.

The sister-in-law in the lobby was wearing good clothes, which did not match the messy kang furnishing around her, but she smiled very kindly, and talked a lot to A Yu with some respect, saying that it was her blessing that their family moved to the town Living a good life, I wanted to catch up with her, but I was afraid of disturbing her clean life, so I just left her here waiting. If Ayu wanted to see them someday, she immediately went to the town to call for someone.

Ayu is in a complicated mood.

Just looking at this narrow and messy hut, one can tell that the uncle's family is not doing well, and that they can move to the town must be paid by Zhan Huaichun.

Then why did Zhan Huaichun send them away in this way?

I don't want her to see it.In fact, Zhan Huaichun is reasonable most of the time, and before she comes back, she is given time to say goodbye to Dangui Danxia. If the uncle's family is good relatives, Zhan Huaichun has no reason not to let her see him.

"Sister-in-law, do you know where my parents' graves are?" After a moment of silence, Ayu asked directly.For the rest, she didn't want to think about it for now.

The lady in the lobby stuttered immediately, clapped her hands, and pointed out with a smile: "The young man next to Master Zhan knows! Last time he came to ask us where the grave of the second uncle and aunt was, and then repaired the grave of the second old man. Ayu, just let him lead the way!"

Zhan Huaichun even helped her repair her grave...

Is it because he has a high vision and thinks that the grave of the second elder of the Cheng family is too bad, or is it because he couldn't see it in the first place?

Thinking that no one has paid homage to the elders for so many years, Ah Yu couldn't stay any longer, and led Ying'er out in a hurry. After shopping, he prepared fried tofu croquettes and other common food for worship in the countryside, and asked Chang'an to lead the way.

Two quarters of an hour later, Ah Yu saw his parents' graves.

There are small uplifted earth bags all around, only the bases of these two grave bags are piled up with bluestones, and stone tablets are erected on them.

Her parents died early, and Ah Yu couldn't remember what they looked like at all, but when she saw the new pile of graves, she suddenly choked up her sobs.

She and her elder brother came to kowtow and offer incense every year, but they couldn't come to visit the second elder for various reasons.She and her elder brother should build a grave to honor their parents, but they failed to do so, and finally a person with a foreign surname did it for them.

She knelt in front of the grave and cried for a long, long time. The paper money was burned to ashes and blown away by the autumn wind, and the wine spilled on the ground seeped into the sand and disappeared.

After returning home, Ah Yu was still sad. She lay on the kang and missed her family, and what she cared about was her elder brother who didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

She lay down and fell asleep, and was later awakened by the sound of Yinger cooking.

A Yu got up and went out, only to find that porridge was already cooking in the pot, and judging by the size, it was for three people.

Ying'er was cutting potatoes, seeing her staring at the pot, she explained nervously: "Girl, this servant heard that Master Zhan said that he would come over in the evening, so he presumptuously made more of his share..."

A Yu shook his head: "It's okay, let's cook more dishes." After speaking, he went back to the house.She didn't know if Zhan Huaichun would come back, but the meal had already been made, so she might as well prepare a portion of the dishes for him, it's cold now, so keep what you can't finish, and you can still eat it when it's hot tomorrow.

She washed her face with warm water, cleaned up and sat on the kang to read a book.

The food is ready, but Zhan Huaichun hasn't come back yet.

Ayu looked at Ying'er, and told her to set aside a dish to warm in the pot, and the two of them ate first.

It was already dark after the meal, and the master and servant had a short talk, then closed the front and rear doors and rested separately.

Perhaps the night wind outside was too strong, blowing the branches and whistling, Ayu was so disturbed that he couldn't sleep, tossing and turning almost made the bed cold.

There was no one in the village to watch, she opened her eyes in the dark, not knowing what time it was.

Suddenly, she faintly heard the sound of horseshoes.

Ayu's heart beat faster, she listened without moving, and sure enough, the sound of horseshoes was getting closer.

Zhan Huaichun is back!

A Yu tucked her head into the quilt and wiped her tears with the quilt.

The wind is so strong outside, and the night road is so difficult to walk, what is he doing when he comes back?I really want to come back, even tomorrow.

While unable to hold back tears, he listened to the sound of the door opening to welcome people next door. A man's hurried footsteps came directly to the base of the wall between the two houses, followed by a familiar landing sound, as if there was a weak barking of a dog ?

Ayu sat up abruptly.

He didn't call her, but stopped outside her window, letting Pea's cry urge her to open the door.

Ayu was overwhelmed with surprise, quickly put on his autumn shirt and went out to meet him, happily forgetting to light the lamp.In the dark, she pushed open the door bolt of the stove, and the man who arrived here at some time came in ahead of the cold wind, and went straight to the east room.A Yu shuddered, quickly closed the door and went inside to find him, but she didn't expect to be pulled into his arms as soon as she entered, and was strangled so tightly that she could hardly breathe.

"Master, you..."

"Ayu, I'm cold, you hug me..."

The man was short of breath, and his chest heaved violently. After he finished speaking, he seemed afraid that she would not believe him. He lowered his head and pressed his face against hers, letting her feel the face stiffened by the cold wind: "Ayu, have you eaten yet? I I haven't eaten, I haven't eaten, you can't blame me for not counting, can you?"

His tone was relaxed, but the breath he blew was cold.

A Yu wanted to say that she wouldn't blame him, but she couldn't make a sound, she just slowly raised her hand and hugged him.
