The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.
...Chapter 390 The Old Naughty Boy
"this……"
Looking at the various dishes that were sticking out of the bowl like a small mountain, Fan Wenxuan's face turned pale.
Chu Jinnian picked up food for him so enthusiastically?
First of all, we can rule out the possibility that he genuinely cares about him.
Secondly, rule out the idea of choking him.
at last……
The reason he brought Chu Jinzhou up the mountain was originally to casually see the scenery and enjoy the red leaves. The danger he encountered was really an accident, so it was not his fault. Moreover, Chu Jinnian did not show any dislike for him since he came back, so it was probably not because of Chu Jinzhou's matter.
Then, they just thought he was talking too much, and wanted him to eat more food and shut his mouth! This Chu Jinnian was really meddling in other people's business. He just wanted to take the opportunity to talk in front of Zhuang Qingning and introduce a few more students so that it would be easier to match them up later. Unexpectedly, he couldn't stand it and wanted to get involved.
Too much!
Fan Wenxuan was furious, but he couldn't get angry at Chu Jinnian, so he could only surround and clean up the dish in front of him.
Zhuang Qingning looked at this scene and sighed in his heart.
Chu Jinnian really respects Mr. Fan very much.
Just looking at Mr. Fan's unhappy look, I don't know what kind of past the two of them had, which made Mr. Fan seem to have a deep prejudice against Chu Jinnian.
I really don't understand.
Zhuang Qingning blinked and put the delicious ham slices in the bowl into his mouth.
The meal ended in a very subtle atmosphere.
Today's events frightened everyone, and dinner was a little late, so everyone felt a little tired.
Especially the two little guys, Chu Jinzhou and Zhuang Qingsui, who were already very sleepy, but because they were worried that Zhuang Qingning would still sleep, they did not dare to sleep. Now their eyelids were fighting and they were yawning all the time.
The servants hurriedly arranged for the two people to rest.
Especially Zhuang Qingsui, who had two adjacent guest rooms with Zhuang Qingning in the same courtyard.
He and Gancao were busy cleaning up, and seeing that Zhuang Qingsui had fallen asleep, Zhuang Qingning left the bedside.
"Miss Zhuang, please go and have a rest. I'll be here to take care of you, don't worry." Gan Cao said, "I'll be on duty here tonight. If you have anything to do at night, just call me."
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhuang Qingning thanked him politely, took the cup of tea handed to him by Gancao, took a sip, and walked towards his room.
Thinking about what Fan Wenxuan had mentioned during dinner just now, that he wanted to invite her to see some kingfisher paintings, Zhuang Qingning guessed that someone might come to pass on the message later, so she just sat at the table and waited.
I waited and waited, but no one came.
Mr. Fan probably just mentioned it casually, so Zhuang Qingning didn't take it too seriously.
Although it was now late at night and two lanterns in the courtyard outside had been extinguished, Zhuang Qingning was still quite energetic.
After sleeping for such a long time in the afternoon, Zhuang Qingning was indeed not sleepy at this moment, so he looked for some history books and poetry collections on the bookshelf in the house to pass the time.
But after reading for a while, he found it boring. In addition, although the candlelight was burning brightly, it was flickering and it was very easy to cause visual fatigue. Zhuang Qingning had to put down the book in his hand, rubbed his sore eyes, and patted his shoulders which were a little swollen due to maintaining the same reading posture for a long time.
After standing up and moving around for a while, Zhuang Qingning saw the charming moonlight outside, then he opened the door and went into the courtyard.
The moon on the night of the thirteenth is not as round as the moon on the fifteenth, but it is bright and clear. The silver moonlight pours all over the ground, making everything within sight become hazy and dreamy.
Zhuang Qingning paced a few steps, feeling the quiet tranquility under the moonlight and the gentle breeze.
But he shook his head slightly and said to himself, "What a pity, there are fewer flowers..."
If you are under the moon in front of flowers, with a pot of tea or fruit wine, and raise your glass to the bright moon, I don’t know how refreshing it would be.
"If Miss Zhuang wants to see flowers, although this Green Bamboo Garden is named after the many bamboos, it also has a small garden filled with various flowers and trees. I don't care about the names of many of the flowers, I just think they are beautiful. If Miss Zhuang wants to go, I will accompany you."
A voice suddenly sounded from behind Zhuang Qingning. She was startled and turned around. She saw that the person coming was another maid named Shanhu who took care of her and Qingsui in the courtyard.
Like licorice, Shanhu is also a little girl who loves to laugh. When she talked to Zhuang Qingning, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. "I heard Miss Zhuang's door open, so I wanted to see if she had any instructions for me, and then I heard her mumbling here."
"Did you scare the girl?"
Shanhu felt a little embarrassed and apologized quickly, "Please forgive me, young lady."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"It's okay. I'm quite courageous." Zhuang Qingning couldn't sleep at this moment. He was also very curious about the beautiful flowers that Shanhu didn't know the names of. He smiled and said, "Where is the small garden you mentioned? I want to take a look."
"It's not far away. I'll take you there," Shanhu said. She turned back to the house, got another cloak and put it on Zhuang Qingning. "It's cold at night. Be careful not to catch a cold."
"Come with me, girl."
Coral lit a lantern and led the way.
"Thank you." Zhuang Qingning gathered his cloak and walked forward with Shanhu.
Leaving the yard, the lights in the stone lanterns on both sides of the bluestone brick path are all burning brightly, and coupled with the bright moonlight, it seems as if it is daytime.
Although such lights are very suitable for strolling around Qingzhu Garden at night, it is only because she couldn't sleep today. If she were to sleep normally at other times, she would probably find it a bit dazzling.
Even though there is a wall between us, I can still feel that it is bright outside, which should affect my sleep.
"Are the lights here on all night?" Zhuang Qingning asked curiously.
"Yes," Coral replied, "since what happened that day, the light has been on all night."
"What happened that day?" Zhuang Qingning blurted out subconsciously. After reacting, he smiled awkwardly and said, "I am sorry for talking too much. You don't have to answer."
"That's not a big deal." Shanhu smiled, revealing the tip of her fangs. "It's not a rare thing. It's just that Mr. Fan wanted to take the third young master out of the yard over the wall that day, but they were caught by the eldest young master. Since then, this yard has been so bright."
"But this light is only on near here. It is not on in the garden where someone is on night duty. There are bamboo forests around the walls of each courtyard, so it doesn't feel out of place."
Zhuang Qingning blinked, and suddenly remembered that day when Mr. Fan was not surprised by Zhuang Mingli drawing a little turtle on Chu Jinzhou's arm.
Taking students over the wall and running away is something Mr. Fan would really do.
An old naughty boy! Today is my eldest son's birthday. After a day of strolling in the amusement park, my feet are numb... But I got to eat the ice cream that my eldest son treated me to~(#^.^#) (End of this chapter)
