Chapter 12: ripple
"Second brother?" Shen Yu was stunned, "Where did you go? Grandma asked about you."
Shen Yongzhi smiled gently: "I went to the bookstore for a stroll." He raised his hand, revealing a stack of books hidden in his sleeves.
Bai Chu also took a few steps forward with Shen Yuzhi, and his eyes fell curiously on his hand: "What kind of books do you like to read, second brother?"
Shen Yongzhi looked down at the book in his hand: "It's just some travel notes."
Bai Chu's eyes lit up: "When the second brother is finished, can you lend it to me? I promise to cherish it very much."
Shen Yingyi was stunned and replied with a chuckle, "Okay, if my brother and sister like it, I still have a few copies in my study, and I'll have someone deliver it to you tomorrow."
"Then thank you second brother." Bai Chu smiled sweetly, and the next second his cheeks bulged again, "But second brother didn't agree to me last time, so don't always call my younger brother and sister, it sounds so unfamiliar."
Shen Yongzhi's ink-colored eyes shone with moist light in the dimming sky, and he changed his name with kindness: "Chu Chu."
Only then did Bai Chu show a satisfied smile.
Shen Yuzhi heard it in the fog, and asked doubtfully, "Second brother? Have you met Chu Hua before?"
Before Shen Yuezhi could answer, Bai Chu said calmly, "Of course not anymore, it's the third young master, you always run to Bai's house before. I haven't seen you a few times, so how can you meet the second brother?"
Then why do you call me the third young master, and the second brother is the second brother?
Second brother still calls you Chu Chu...
Shen Yuzhi's heart was filled with sour bubbles, and it was clear that Chu Hua and the second brother were in contact because of him. Why was he excluded now?
"By the way, second brother, Roujia is here today." Shen Yuzhi suddenly remembered this, with an inexplicable and strange impulse, and said, "It is said that she will come with Aunt Changping in a few days. Visit, you... be careful."
"Really?" Shen Yongzhi's tone was calm, and he said warmly, "Speaking of Aunt Changping coming to Beijing, as juniors, we should also take the initiative to visit. Yuzhi, prepare yourself and go tomorrow."
Shen Yuzhi didn't expect his second brother to react like this, why not only was he not frightened by Rou Jia, but he also took the initiative to ask to see him?
He couldn't help being a little confused, "Second brother, are you not afraid of Rou Jia?"
The corners of Shen Yongzhi's lips were slightly raised, and he glanced at him tenderly: "When have I ever been afraid?"
A chill ran across Shen Yu's spine afterward, and he was so shocked that he had goosebumps, and subconsciously took two steps back, "Ah, maybe I misunderstood."
"Second brother, you are right, we will go tomorrow."
Anyway, it wasn't him that Rou Jia was interested in. Thinking back on what Bai Chu said just now because he was similar to the second brother, Shen Yuzhi felt that something was wrong.
It's okay for the second brother to go there, he really doesn't want to deal with that girl Roujia.
"Okay," Shen Yongzhi raised his eyes and looked at the bright moon in the dim night sky, "it's getting late, you should go back to rest early."
Shen Yuzhi nodded: "Second brother, you too."
Before leaving, Bai Chu still remembered to tell him, "Don't forget the book you promised me, or I'll go to your yard to pick it up in person."
Hearing these cruel words, Shen Yongzhi raised his eyebrows slightly as he watched the backs of the two leave, and laughed dumbly.
…
Early the next morning, Shen Yuezhi sent someone to Mo Tangxuan to ask Shen Yuyi to visit Princess Changping's mansion together.
Bai Chu couldn't sleep late either, so he obediently got up to wash and change, and went to Hexiangyuan and Chuyu Pavilion to greet the two elders.
There are only three young masters in this mansion, but she is the only young lady. She is leisurely and leisurely, and difficult to do. Fortunately, there is a sister-in-law who died early to make a template for her, at least the rules and etiquette will not go wrong.
When please come back, take a nap again, and then wake up, you will be the fresh, charming and lovely Third Young Lady again.
"Second brother, are they back?"
After a few days, Shuangxi can't be said to be alone, but it's not a simple and only little girl in the past. At least in terms of popularity, she gets along well with the maids and servants in this mansion.
The third young lady is no better than other masters, she has only one capable confidant by her side, she has to work hard and not live up to the young lady's value!
With such gratitude and expectation, Double Happiness unswervingly strives towards the goal of being a shrewd and capable maid.
"Back to the young lady, the two young masters came back after lunch. They are in their own courtyards now." Shuangxi said, rolling his eyes and whispering in her ear, "Young lady, do you want the servants to go to the pantry? Some desserts like hawthorn jade cake, wishful roll, hibiscus cake, etc., will you bring them to the third master to digest?"
Bai Chu nodded lazily: "By the way, let someone drink two cups of Jiuqu Hongmei, so I won't get tired of it."
"Hey!" Shuangxi responded happily, and went down in a hurry.
The young lady is finally willing to find a way to please the third young master. According to the appearance of her master, as long as the third young master can take a look, she will definitely like it. After that, the little husband and wife will be very good.
The beautiful little girl even thought of the picture of taking care of the little master in the future, and excitedly followed Bai Chu with the prepared snacks and tea, but the result became more and more strange as she walked.
Shuangxi looked at the surrounding scenery suspiciously, and hurriedly reminded: "Young Madam, this doesn't seem to be the way to Mo Tangxuan?"
I just heard Bai Chu didn't care: "Who said we're going to Mo Tangxuan?"
Shuangxi was confused: "Then who are you?"
Bai Chu glanced at her with a smile: "I'm going to ask the second brother to ask for the two promises he promised me. Mmm," she glanced at the tray held by Shuangxi with her beautiful eyes, " You have to take it, it's all a bribe."
"Huh? Are we looking for the second young master?" Shuangxi was so surprised that she stuttered a little, "But, but the third young master..."
Isn't it inappropriate for the husband to come over to bring tea and snacks to the second young master without paying any attention?
Shuangxi's brows were almost tied, and it was so heartbreaking.
Bai Chusu's fingers were like scallions, and she tapped lightly on her tangled eyebrows. The cool touch made Shuangxi's restless and anxious heart calm down a lot.
"You're young, don't think too much about it, it's easy to get old." Bai Chu's eyes curled with a smile, as if his cheerful smile showed an indescribable ease and ease.
Say what others want.
Anyway, she won't change.
Shuangxi followed Bai Chu in a daze to the second young master Shen Yongzhi's residence.
On the simple ink-colored wooden board, the word "Jingnian" is adorned with gold powder. The handwriting is like wandering clouds and frightening dragons.
In the study, Shen Yuezhi heard the servant report that Mrs. San Shao was coming, and while she was studying, the ink beads condensed from the tip of the pen and landed on the rice paper tremblingly, creating a cloud of darkness.
"Let's have some tea." He slowly got up, and wiped his hands with the hot handkerchief on the side.
Before waiting for the little servant to take orders, I could only hear a clear and pleasant laughter from across the door: "Second brother's tea should be reserved for the next time,"
He looked up unconsciously, and saw Bai Chu wearing a Shu brocade yunfei makeup satin gauze dress and a water magnolia flower pleated silk skirt with white, yellow and blue intertwined belts around his waist. The tassel fell softly on the skirt, and it flowed like a spring while walking.
It seems to be the first bright light that cuts through the night sky as the sun rises.
To say that dazzling is second, it is to break through the sealing of the surrounding environment, and the extreme contrast presented at that moment is the most shocking.
Over there, Bai Chu took the next sentence with a smile: "Today, I have prepared it for you."
She turned and motioned Shuangxi to put the tea and snacks in front of him, "Because I don't know the taste of the second brother, so I chose a few according to what I like, and I don't know if the second brother likes it or not."
Shen Yongzhi looked down, his fair and slender hand took a piece of hawthorn jade cake at will, and slowly put it on his lips and took a bite, even the chewing of his lips and teeth showed a calm and elegant demeanor.
"Well, it's sweet and not greasy, doesn't it look like the craftsmanship of the kitchen?"
Bai Chu smiled and said, "Although it was made by the chef of the pantry, the raw material recipe is mine. The hawthorn jade cake made from a unique secret recipe, I am reluctant to give it to others except for you, the second brother."
"Really?" Shen Yongzhi smiled warmly, her brows and eyes were soft in the warm light, "The second brother is here to thank Chu Chu."
"Thank you, but you don't have to. If the second brother likes it, you might as well realize the few things that you promised me earlier."
Shen Yongzhi laughed: "I have kept most of my book collection in this study room in recent months. Whatever Chu Chu likes to read, even if you choose to take it away."
Bai Chu Canran smiled, and naturally found a seat in front of him and sat down: "Not only that, second brother, you promised to take me out of the house to play." She frowned slightly, her eyes glowing with water, " Did the second brother forget?"
Shen Yuezhi smiled and said, "Of course I can't forget it. It's just that Chu Chu and the third brother were busy returning home a few days ago, so it is not convenient for me to disturb you." Make up your promises, how about that?"
"The third young master Shen is busy with other people's affairs, what can I do in the inner house all day long?" Bai Chuming's eyes were full of joy, and the radiant light like a spring flower slowly circulated between Gu Pan, "Then that's settled. La."
After achieving the goal, Bai Chu took two sips from his tea bowl, and collected a few books recommended by Shen Yongzhi in the study, and then left happily.
"If the second brother really likes to eat these snacks, I can't tell you the recipe, but since you are so kind to me, if you want to eat it, just tell me, there is nothing wrong with it."
Shen Yingzhi watched her figure walk out of the Jingnian Hall, and the bright smile of Qiao Xiaoqianxi seemed to be flashing before his eyes. He closed his eyes and forcibly calmed down his slightly chaotic thoughts.
Duanxi was a servant who had been with Shen Yongzhi since he was a child. There were many people going back and forth over the years, but he was the only one who kept it.
"Master," Duanxi whispered respectfully, "do you want the slave to take things down?"
Shen Yongzhi's taste is light, sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and salty. He didn't say that he particularly disliked or liked it. He just didn't like snacks, which was always the case.
Duanxi thought: Even if it was for the sake of Mrs. San Shao's face, the master would not want to take a few more glances.
Shen Yongzhi's indifferent gaze fell on the delicate desserts on the plates, and after a long while he said softly, "It's the mind of the third young lady, just leave it alone."
Although there was no entry, it always stayed.
Duanxi concealed the surprised look that appeared for a moment, and replied in a low voice, "Yes."
