The corner of Zhou Jincheng's mouth twitched into a smile, pushed away the little fool who was stuck to his body, went to the table and took out the dishes from the food box, arranged the chopsticks and rice bowls, and called Ruan Tang who was still crying behind him: " Stop crying and eat."

Ruan Tang was really hungry, he waited for Zhou Jincheng to concentrate, only then did his stomach growl when he smelled the aroma of the rice.With tears still on his face, he began to eat.

Zhou Jincheng told him to slow down, Ruan Tang guarded the food, took the bowl back to his arms with both hands, and stared, "I'm about to starve to death!"

Can't afford to offend.

Zhou Jincheng ate slowly, occasionally giving him two pieces of meat.

Zhou Jincheng could only sleep on his stomach at night.After the two of them got water and cleaned up, Zhou Jincheng lay on the edge of the bed, while Ruan Tang was still standing on the ground.

Zhou Jincheng leaned towards him: "Anyone please?"

"I'll sleep by myself tonight." Ruan Tang clutched the hem of his jacket, lowered his head and said, "I, I'm going to sleep outside."

Zhou Jincheng asked, "Why?"

Ruan Tang touched his nose and said, "It's hot..."

"Nonsense." Zhou Jincheng stretched out his arm and patted the inside of the bed, "Come up and sleep honestly."

Ruan Tang has always been a man with ideas, stupid and stubborn, he seldom listens to Zhou Jincheng after he has made up his mind.

He squatted down beside the bed, with his head in front of Zhou Jincheng's eyes, his chin propped on the back of his hand, and his head shook when he spoke, "But I move around a lot at night, what should I do if I bump into my brother?"

Zhou Jincheng said: "I can't touch it. I see that you are coming over, so I will push you back when you are far away."

Ruan Tang's eyes lit up and said, "That's great!"

He grinned, got up, extinguished the candle and climbed onto the bed, with a corner of the quilt covering his stomach, and sang at Zhou Jincheng endlessly.

Zhou Jincheng sighed resentfully, and said, "You're heartless, you're heartless!"

I don't know if Ruan Tang kept this in mind, but Zhou Jincheng slept well at night when his back was injured for a few days.He was in the same position as being held in Zhou Jincheng's arms before, but lost his height, curled up facing Zhou Jincheng, rubbed the soft pillow into his arms, and remained still all night.

The servants in the mansion are used to the tossing and tossing of the father and son.There is going to be a quarrel, the father and the son don't see each other, they can be peaceful for ten days and a half months, and then some small matter, let the two meet, they can always argue again because of a small quarrel.

But this time before Zhou Linfu and Zhou Jincheng sang another big show, Zhou Jincheng's ancestral family sent a letter, saying that there was something wrong with his ancestry and wanted to see him.

After the letter, everyone knew that nine out of ten the Sun family was going to have an affair.

Zhou Jincheng's mother is the youngest daughter in the family. His grandfather is seventy-five years old this year, and he sent away a son and a daughter, and now he is leaving.

Before Zhou Jincheng left the mansion, Zhou Linfu called him to the main room again.Lin Sulan was not there, and there was a stack of gift list-like booklets on the table. Zhou Linfu pushed the stack of things forward and said, "I'll take these with you on the way. If you don't use them up, you don't need to bring them back, just leave them at your grandfather's house." , your uncles can use it."

The thick gift list, how could it be just a bag for Zhou Jincheng on the road.

It was half of the dowry his mother brought when she married into the Zhou family, and it was divided into two when she entered the house.One is for the son and the other is for the daughter, and nothing has been touched in these years.

However, she only had Zhou Jincheng under her knees, and did not leave behind a daughter. Now that Zhou Jincheng's grandfather was going, Zhou Linfu wanted to return the things that had been removed from Zhou Jincheng to Sun's family while he was still there.

Zhou Jincheng stood there without answering, and Zhou Linfu's expression was not very good. He picked up a copy of the list, opened it and closed it again. After a long time, he handed it to Zhou Jincheng and said, "Go, it's okay to stay for two more days, I'll stay with you Grandmother."

The people in the mansion packed Zhou Jincheng's luggage. What the master meant was that the autumn exam was coming soon, so there was no need to waste time on the road, and he told Zhou Jincheng to study at his grandfather's house in peace, and come back when he took the exam.

The Sun family is a scholarly family from generation to generation, and its rules are even more strict than those of the Zhou family.The young masters are all served by maids, there is no rule for young servants to sleep outside, if you take Ruan Tang there, it doesn't make sense to follow Zhou Jincheng.

"...So I won't take you there. I'll leave you at home to play with Jinzhong, the same as before. I'll be back in two months, you know?"

Ruan Tang pursed his lips, with deep dimples on both cheeks.After listening to Zhou Jincheng's words, he thought about it for a while, with a look of distress and confusion on his face, and asked Zhou Jincheng, "Brother... don't you want me anymore?"

Zhou Jincheng pinched his face, and said: "Say nonsense. You stay in the mansion, running so far is not for fun. If you get into trouble in someone else's house, I can't even protect you."

Ruan Tang let him knead obediently, then nodded and agreed: "I'm too stupid to cause trouble... If Ruan Tang doesn't cause trouble, he won't enter their big house. Brother, go."

Zhou Jincheng didn't expect the little fool to be so easy to coax, so he was a little annoyed for a moment, pulled him between his legs and clamped him firmly, and rubbed Ruan Tang's face harder with both hands: "I wish I could leave, huh? Did I treat you badly? Every day Keep good things for you to eat, you say, don’t you?”

Ruan Tang was very obedient, he didn't struggle at all, he was rubbed, his body tilted a little bit, and he lay on Zhou Jincheng's body, with his side face on his shoulder, wrapping around Zhou Jincheng's neck.

The strength in Zhou Jincheng's hands also gradually weakened, and he held the child who had grown some flesh in his arms loosely, and spoke to him in a rare voice: "Brother is gone, do you miss brother?"

Ruan Tang thought for a while, nodded twice on his shoulder, and said, "Think."

Zhou Jincheng's mood suddenly improved, and he laughed again, pinching Ruan Tang's earlobe and pulling him up, pointing his index finger on Ruan Tang's forehead, and said: "I should think about how kind I am to you, huh? How kind I am to you. "

Sickness waits for no one, so Zhou Jincheng set out on the road at dawn the next day.Ying'er asked him to get up and get dressed, and when he sat up, he saw Ruan Tang sitting up next to him, his eyes were clear, as if he had been awake for a while.

Zhou Jincheng pressed one of his shoulders and said, "Asleep, Jinzhong came to you after breakfast."

Ruan Tang pinched the corner of the quilt and was pushed back to his original position. He didn't speak, but just stared at Zhou Jincheng.

To leave, there is always nostalgia.To the Zhou Mansion, to the small courtyard, to Ruan Tang.

Zhou Jincheng glanced back at the door, the young man's mind was gone quickly.He took a deep breath, thinking that he would be back soon, and most of his worries disappeared.

They walked on the road for seven days. Zhou Jincheng was always in good health, but he was caught by a sudden rain, burned up in the inn and couldn't leave.

On the third day of his stay at the inn, Zhou Jincheng felt much better. He had taken medicine once in the morning and was preparing to leave at noon.

The waiter in the inn delivered the food to the guest room, Zhou Jincheng was still inside, they didn't know the owner was still there, so they chatted while setting the table.

"I didn't hear that there was a disaster in the surrounding area, why are there still little beggars..."

Zhou Jincheng changed his clothes, and heard "little beggar" and "brother" intermittently in both ears.He knew it was impossible, so he waited and waited until after lunch, packed his luggage and started on the road, he finally got out of the carriage and called one of the waiters to ask what happened to the little beggar mentioned just now.

"Back to young master, we don't know where he came from. The territory in this city is limited. Don't think it's just begging. Everyone is divided into different places. You can't do it in the wild."

Xiaoer said that the little beggar arrived last night, probably very hungry, and Da Lala squatted at the back door to block people.

"I thought it was something to eat, but I didn't think I would come up and ask something first... Oh, I asked if there are any young masters staying in the store. There are so many young masters. Who knows which one he asked? No one knows about those, that's it. Chick Cub is hungry and fainted, talking nonsense."

Zhou Jincheng walked towards the back door, Xiaoer's words were still ringing in his ears: the new beggar was beaten up by a few beggars guarding the area, and the leftovers were not shared, probably He was beaten hard, and he lay down most of the night, and now he is still curled up outside the chicken coop.
