After sitting in the tea house for half an hour on the spring equinox, Chu Xiu arrived as scheduled. Perhaps he didn't want people to notice his intention to go out. He was dressed very low-key, wearing a black short shirt and a fox fur cloak, just like that.
He came in against the cold wind. Knowingly he was here to date Ji Xiaoman, but unbeknownst to him he thought he was performing some secret mission.
The moment Shi Chunfen saw him, he was stunned for a moment, but soon started laughing.
The more casual Chu Xiu is about this date, the more it shows that he doesn't have that intention, which is a good thing for her.
"That girl hasn't arrived yet, why don't you go and sit in the room first so as not to be seen by the guests?" Shi Chunquin suggested.
Chu Xiu nodded quickly and tightened his cloak, "That's fine."
Shi Chunfen led him to the third floor. She specially asked someone to clear out a room here so that they could chat. At the same time, it was very close to the stairway on the second floor. As long as there was any big movement in the room, she would
The people sent to watch will immediately go up and take the two of them out.
Perhaps sensing her defensiveness, Chu Xiu couldn't help laughing when he saw the location of the room, "How worried are you that I'll suffer a loss here?"
Shi Chunfen was stunned and said awkwardly: "You are the second young master of the Chu family. If you fall into the hands of a girl, it won't sound good if you tell people about it, right?"
"Are you afraid of having a bad reputation with me, or with a bad reputation of your friends?" Chu Xiu said with a smile.
Seeing that he was still self-aware, Shi Chunfen curled his lips and said bluntly: "If you two really see eye to eye, you will have plenty of opportunities to do something in the future. Why rush to ruin the reputation of my tea house?"
Seeing that she directly used the Qingyu of the tea house as a shield, Chu Xiu couldn't help laughing, "If you are so afraid that I will hurt your friend, why do you help her ask me out?"
"Because this is the only way she can give up." Shi Chunfen said frankly: "I don't care whether you fall in love with her or not, but a girl who is willing to put down her dignity to pursue the man she loves should be respected no matter what. Since you agree
When you see her, please be more serious and don't bring her any harm."
It was rare for Chu Xiu to see her look so serious, so he quickly became serious and nodded lightly, "Don't worry, I'm not dirty enough to hurt the heart of a girl who admires me. In short, no matter whether she is beautiful or ugly, I will treat her well."
Let’s talk to her, is that okay?”
Shi Chunfen's expression softened, "That's the best."
She looked at Chu Xiu and added: "Don't worry, she is definitely not ugly."
At least from Shi Chunquin's point of view, he looks much better than her.
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and quickly entered the room.
Shi Chunfen wanted to turn around and leave, but as soon as he took a step forward, he heard Chu Xiu say from behind: "She hasn't come yet, why don't you chat with me?"
Shi Chunquin stopped and thought about Lu Tao's arrangements, Ji Xiaoman might not be able to come smoothly, and it was really not good to let Chu Xiu wait here alone, so she turned around and nodded, "Okay then.
"
The two sat down in the room, and Yu Atu came over to serve them refreshments.
Chu Xiu glanced at her and asked doubtfully: "Isn't this your cousin? Why do you come to work in the tea house?"
Shi Chunfen was afraid that he and Yu Atu would meet each other's eyes, so he immediately waved his hand towards Yu Atu, signaling her to step back, and then explained: "The Chu family has complicated affairs, and I was afraid that my cousin wouldn't be able to adapt there, so I transferred her here.
here."
"Really?" Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows, "I thought you were going to introduce her to me!"
Shichun Equinox's cheeks darkened, "This joke is not funny."
Seeing how serious she was, Chu Xiu shrugged, "Okay, okay, I know you love your cousin, so you don't need to guard me like a thief, right?"
In her mind, Chu Xiu was not only a thief, but also a violent thief who would attack women.
Not to mention Yu Atu, even the red apricots and green peaches around her, she was not willing to give to him to ravage.
Seeing her looking at him with a complicated expression, the smile on Chu Xiu's face faded, "You seem to dislike me very much?"
Shi Chunquin avoided his gaze and said coldly: "Aren't you the same?"
When they were in Huating, the words Chu Xiu argued with her were still vivid in her mind. There was no friendship between the two of them, right?
Chu Xiu understood what she meant and said amusedly: "You still hold a grudge?"
"I don't hold grudges like the second master." Shi Chunquin couldn't help but sarcastically said: "After all, you can even hate your own eldest brother. This is not something ordinary people can do."
When he mentioned this, Chu Xiu's cheeks darkened instantly, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Did he tell you that?"
"The uncle didn't tell me anything." Shi Chunfen said calmly: "It's just that anyone with eyes can see that you are jealous of him."
"Ha!" Chu Xiu put his tea cup on the table as if he heard some big joke, "Do I need to be jealous of him? I have everything he has, and I also have the women he doesn't have.
He has everything, why should I be jealous of him?"
Seeing that he could only talk about the number of women, Shi Chunfen shook his head in a funny way, "At least in the eyes of the uncle, women are not a tool for comparison. For this reason alone, you will never be able to compare with him."
"That's enough!" Chu Xiu became angry, "Are you asking me to help, or are you here to ridicule me?"
Shi Chunfen realized that he had made a mistake, so he was silent for a while, lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, I said too much."
This is a matter between their brothers, and outsiders have no right to interfere. She really shouldn't step on Chu Xiu's pain points.
Chu Xiu snorted coldly and said nothing.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was getting more and more awkward, Shi Chunfen hesitated for a while and changed the topic, "I heard that my grandmother has made a good marriage proposal to you. Have you seen the portrait? What does the other person look like?"
Chu Xiu's expression softened and he said coldly: "She looks pretty good, much prettier than you."
The corners of Shi Chunfen's mouth twitched, and she couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Even if you don't say that, I know she must be better than me."
With the Huating County Lord personally watching over her, the other party must be a beautiful woman with good family background and both talent and beauty. How could she compare to her?
Seeing that she was still self-aware, Chu Xiu snorted and said proudly: "You are not afraid that I will marry a perfect wife and win against the big brother, so you specially introduced me to a bad friend so that I can lose against the big brother.
A piece of it?"
Although she was indeed worried that Chu Xiu would think so, when Chu Xiu really thought so, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You are not blind. If the other person is really not that good, you still have to marry her."
, isn’t it just a shame?”
Hearing the word "slut" come out of the mouth of his sister-in-law, who was always cautious in her words and deeds, Chu Xiu's lips twitched and he said funny: "You really don't miss any opportunity to flatter me."
