Shi Chunfen reluctantly smiled at him. In fact, she didn't get up early, but she didn't fall asleep at all. After chatting with Li Yan yesterday, she felt that the burden on her body was too heavy, and she couldn't sleep a wink all night. By daybreak, she felt a little sleepy and her stomach was growling again, so she decided to go downstairs to eat something before going back to catch up on her sleep.
"If I'm hungry, I'll go downstairs and have breakfast first." She replied lightly, not mentioning her insomnia at all.
"That's it." Chu Run nodded slightly, but he didn't doubt it at all.
He looked around the lobby, subconsciously put away the riding crop in his hand, and said with a smile: "Originally, I planned to eat something on the way, but I met the lobby lady. Maybe I can have a meal with you?"
Shi Chunfen successfully made him laugh, "Of course."
The two of them chose to sit by the window. It was just dawning and there were not many guests in the lobby. On the other hand, people on the street were walking in a hurry. Many of them got up early and were running for a living, which made people sigh with emotion.
Because the food hadn’t arrived so quickly, Shi Chunfen took the initiative to break the silence, “When I was young, my two cousins often took me to sell steamed buns outside the alley in front of my house in order to support the family. The steamed buns were worth a penny. One, every time one was sold, my two cousins and I would be happy for a long time. At that time, I thought... my whole life would just pass like this."
Seeing her obsessing over her, Chu Run was somewhat surprised.
Why were these unbearable experiences in the eyes of the wealthy scholar family filled with longing? It seemed that the few short years she spent at her aunt's house as a child were the most unforgettable experiences in her life. After moving into the Chu family, there was nothing worth talking about.
"Then do you want to live like this for the rest of your life, or do you want to be the glorious eldest mistress of the Chu family like you are now?" Chu Run said with a smile.
He thought everyone would choose the latter, but Shichun Equinox fell silent and didn't speak for a long time.
Chu Run was stunned and asked with some uncertainty: "Do you want to sell steamed buns in the alley all your life?"
Shi Chunfen laughed and suddenly raised his eyes, "Isn't it silly?"
Her eyes were sparkling, filled with the purity of longing for her childhood. Chu Run was stunned for a moment, and he could no longer doubt her sincerity.
"It's a bit silly..." Chu Run laughed along with her unconsciously, but couldn't help but sigh: "But it doesn't sound too bad."
Not only is it not bad, it is much better than at Chu's house.
But Chun Equinox didn't dare to say these words, because anyone who heard her would think she was unsatisfied.
While living a life of luxury and good food, she misses the poor days of the past. Anyone who hears her will think that she is very hypocritical.
"Actually, it's quite good to be in the Chu family." Shi Chunfen changed the subject wisely, "Eating well and wearing warm clothes, if I really spend my whole life selling steamed buns, I might be envious of myself. "
"Yes." Chu Run agreed very much with this point, "People are always dissatisfied."
Even he, as the fourth young master of the Chu family, often resents why he is not the legitimate son?
So in his opinion, although the idea of the equinox is ridiculous, it is not absurd.
People always think about something when they are short of something. Obviously, what Shi Chun Equinox is missing now is the warmth of his family, not selling steamed buns itself.
The waiter served them breakfast in a timely manner, which was all simple local food, but it also seemed very fresh to them who were used to living in Liuzhou.
"I didn't expect that even breakfast in Shuzhou is spicy..." Shi Chunfen looked at the red soup in the bowl and couldn't help but frown.
Seeing her expression, Chu Run knew that she was not good at eating spicy food, so he quickly called the waiter over, "Is there any lighter food?"
The waiter nodded quickly, "The store still serves porridge, but we have to wait a little longer."
"Then serve it up as soon as it's cooked." Chu Run rewarded the other party with a piece of silver.
The waiter immediately agreed with a smile.
After the man left, Shi Chunfen said helplessly: "Actually, it doesn't matter. It's a rare trip to Shuzhou. I should try more of the local specialties."
It's not that she can't eat spicy food, it's just that she didn't sleep all night last night, she was groggy, and she felt a little nauseous when she saw the red soup.
"Since you don't want to eat, you don't have to force yourself." Chu Run said with a smile: "You are the eldest mistress of the Chu family, so you have the capital to trouble others, don't you?"
"This..." Shi Chunquin was stunned for a moment, but he had never thought about this. He just instinctively felt that it would be better not to trouble others too much.
Seeing her dazed look, Chu Run shook his head helplessly, "Has my eldest cousin ever told you that you are just too afraid of troublesome others, so you are always bullied?"
Seeing that he used the word "bullying", Shi Chunfen was a little amused, "Then do you know that there are only a few people who bully me repeatedly in the Chu family, and most of them are people from your second room."
She mentioned it casually, but Chu Run's face turned serious after hearing it.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Shi Chunfen quickly added: "I just said it casually, you don't need to take it to heart."
"You are right." Chu Run said seriously: "Since the contradiction has always existed, there is no need to avoid talking about it."
Seeing that he became serious, Shi Chunfen looked at him and said seriously: "You are you, and the second bedroom is the second bedroom. I know that you have always respected me as the hall sister-in-law."
"Really?" Chu Run didn't expect that she would think so, and the corners of his lips raised unconsciously, "But they are always my father and brother. Do you think I can be completely separated from them?"
"Why not?" Shi Chunfen asked back: "Didn't you still want to leave the Chu family before? Now it's just extended the time to leave, but your intention to separate from them has not changed. I know you are just forced to stay longer.
It's only been three years, and I have no intention of collaborating with them, so I have never blamed you."
Hearing the last sentence, Chu Run's eyes deepened and he couldn't help but ask: "What about what happened between me and Yu Atu before? You didn't blame me?"
When he mentioned this, the smile on Shi Chunfen's face faded.
How could it not be strange?
At that time, Chu Run was still with Weng Xiaohuan, who was completely unknown to Yu Atu. If she wasn't weird at all, she would be too unlike a cousin.
"That's still a bit of your fault." She admitted: "But everything is over, isn't it? Now you have become my brother-in-law, and I am still your sister-in-law. Some things don't need to be cared about too much.
.”
Seeing that she was quite candid, Chu Run curved his lips and said bluntly: "If I said that I have never been sorry to your cousin before, would you believe it?"
Shi Chunfen was stunned for a moment and looked at him with some doubts, wondering what the point of him worrying about this now.
He and Yu Atu were already husband and wife, and even if there had been anything before, she wouldn't take it to heart.
