startled autumn

Shen Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, and before he could answer, Han Bi frowned, and asked first, "Why did you come here in person?"

Han Xun replied meaningfully: "I'll stop by to see what the decoration looks like after you opened up the main guest room."

Han Bi rubbed his nose, but didn't say a word—with his father's observation ability, he could see that he was still living alone so far after wandering around the room. This was not so much a concern from his father as a mockery of him. Progress with a sweetheart is too slow.

Although he was able to refute on the spot, but because of Shen Zhiqiu's thin skin, he had no choice but to bury his head in confession and shut up to suffer.

Han Xun stood up. He had been in a high position for a long time, and his demeanor was inevitably majestic: "Where did you smell of alcohol? You two change your clothes and come back with me."

As soon as he heard it, he knew that the two drank a lot of wine outside, but he didn't say much, just dropped such an order, and went straight out of the room.

Shen Zhiqiu hurriedly asked in a low voice: "What should I do?"

Han Bi asked suspiciously, "What should I do?"

"I was too rude to the Prime Minister." Shen Zhiqiu frowned, and sighed inaudibly, "If I had known this, I would have stopped drinking."

Although Shen Zhiqiu was lacking in human sophistication, he also knew that it was extremely rude to meet an elder in a drunken appearance, not to mention that this elder was Han Bi's father, which made him regret it unceasingly.

Han Bi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you still call him the Prime Minister?"

Shen Zhiqiu suddenly realized, and immediately changed his words: "It's Master Hou."

"No." Han Bi stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of his nose. Recently, he found that Shen Zhiqiu's eyes would open very wide if he couldn't breathe through his nose. His appearance was so cute that it often made his heart itch and his hands itch.

Shen Zhiqiu's eyes widened as expected, and he asked in a muffled voice, "What's wrong?"

"My father, isn't it your father?"

Shen Zhiqiu was taken aback.

Han Bi: "I want to spend my whole life with you. Your hometown is my hometown, and your family is my family. How about you?"

Between you and me, what is the difference between each other.

For some reason, Shen Zhiqiu suddenly had a sore throat.

"Let's go home." Shen Zhiqiu said slowly, "...don't keep father waiting."

In the end, they kept Han Xun waiting for a long time.

Han Xun glanced at the two of them coldly, and asked, "Why is it taking so long?"

Hearing this, Shen Zhiqiu quickly lowered his head, even the roots of his ears were red.

Han Bi said without changing his face, "It took me a while to find clothes that Zhiqiu could wear."

"Really?" Han Xun's sharp eyes fell on Shen Zhiqiu's head.

Shen Zhiqiu was not good at lying, and he was not good at telling the truth. He opened his mouth but couldn't speak. Just when he was in trouble, Han Xun lightly threw a sentence: "Forget it, let's go."

Shen Zhiqiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Since he was going to meet his elders, he naturally had to dress appropriately. Earlier in the room, Han Bi first proposed to lend him his clothes, and then volunteered to change for him. She sized him up carefully, then suddenly lowered her head and bit his lip.

"So lovely."

Shen Zhiqiu was so dazed by his kiss that he couldn't run to look in the mirror, so he naturally didn't know what he looked like now, so he subconsciously said, "Of course your clothes look good."

Han Bi: "I mean you are pretty."

Shen Zhiqiu was used to Han Bi's tone of praise, so he just smiled.

Han Bi whispered, "Actually, you look better without it."

"This is not good." Shen Zhiqiu wondered, "I went to your house to visit the elders, how could I go naked?"

Han Bi was speechless for a moment.

Suddenly, Shen Zhiqiu had a flash of inspiration: "When I first visited you, you also said 'only people with no clothes on', is this the tradition of meeting guests in your Han family? If so, it is not impossible... ..."

Looking at his serious appearance, Han Bi could not help laughing at last, the scene of meeting was vivid in his memory.

The two quarreled like this for a long time before going out, causing Han Xun to wait outside. Shen Zhiqiu felt guilty, but Han Bi didn't take it seriously, coaxing him along the way: "Don't worry, my father won't care about this."

Shen Zhiqiu: "When he asked me something, his tone seemed to be angry."

Han Bi: "He is definitely not angry."

Shen Zhiqiu was worried: "If he is not angry, why does he look so bad?"

Han Bi pondered for a moment, thinking in his heart: My father probably just wanted to see you fidgeting. After all, your bewildered appearance is really interesting. However, he still knows too little. Being overwhelmed is nothing, your funniest expression is obviously stunned.

"There is a way to make him happy." Han Bi turned a corner when he reached the point of his mouth.

Shen Zhiqiu's eyes lit up: "What do you want me to do?"

Han Bi lowered his head to his ear and spoke word by word.

When we arrived at the prime minister's mansion—now it should be the mansion of Marquis Cheng'en. When he was entrusted with the title, Han Xun made a special announcement to avoid wasting the power of the people, so there was no need to open another mansion. Although Emperor Nanjiang readily agreed, he also gave him other treasures. The holy family is very strong.

This place was much more lively than Han Bi's mansion. Everyone in the mansion had received orders in advance, and no one cast a surprised look at Shen Zhiqiu, but they were a little alienated in the subtleties. Fortunately, Shen Zhiqiu was so slow that he didn't notice it at all.

Han Xun went into the room to look for Mrs. Han, before the elders arrived, Han Bi took Shen Zhiqiu for a walk around, and he had the right to recognize him.

Han Yuan led the decree to the south to supervise the battle, but regretted being absent. His wife, Qiao Shi, was easy to get along with, always smiling gently at Shen Zhiqiu, asking from time to time: "What does Mr. Shen like to do on weekdays?"

Shen Zhiqiu replied truthfully: "Practice the sword."

"Jianzong Moyi is famous all over the world, and I know a little about it..." Although Qiao is a female family member, she can talk about swordsmanship in a clear way. Shen Zhiqiu chatted with her, and his tense spirit gradually eased .

After Mrs. Qiao left, Han Bi said to Shen Zhiqiu in a low voice: "My sister-in-law was born in the general family. If it is only about martial arts, she was better than my elder brother before she got married."

"She's really insightful."

Han Bi: "She seems to like you very much."

Shen Zhiqiu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the Han family is a prominent family, the population in the mansion is small. In addition, the children didn't come to the table, so they simply sat around the round table to eat. It looked like an ordinary family and didn't follow too many rules.

During the meal, Shen Zhiqiu looked solemn, and only picked up the stir-fried cabbage in front of him. Madam Han saw that he was reserved, and suddenly asked, "Mr. Shen is used to being a vegetarian?"

Shen Zhiqiu was taken aback, and quickly replied: "No."

Mrs. Han narrowed her eyes and said, "Then the other dishes are not to your liking?"

"I don't care." Shen Zhiqiu said softly, "Han Bi said that he doesn't like to eat this dish, and he loses his appetite when he sees it."

Before entering the door, Han Bi specifically reminded him that he doesn't like Shi Siong and thinks it has a strong muddy taste. If this dish appears on the dinner table, he must find an opportunity to mention it.Shen Zhiqiu was very puzzled, and asked the reason on the spot, Han Bi replied with a smile: "Idiot, this will show that you care about me."

Shen Zhiqiu has been taught.

Turning back to the present, Mrs. Han heard him say this, and asked in confusion: "He doesn't like it, what does it have to do with you?"

Shen Zhiqiu replied calmly: "I ate them all. He can't see it, so his appetite will naturally improve."

Mrs. Han: "..."

Han Bi couldn't hold back for a moment, the corners of his mouth raised, seeing him trying to hold back a smile, Shen Zhiqiu really couldn't guess what stupid thing he had done, so he just stood there blankly.

Qiao's timely rounding up the situation: "Mr. Shen is really considerate."

Hearing this, Shen Zhiqiu smiled embarrassedly.

"You can't talk about food." Han Xun said leisurely, "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after eating."

After the meal, Han Bi's little niece, A Jia, ran in with tears in her eyes, grabbed Han Bi's cuff and kept complaining, "Little uncle, you don't come to see me, I want to empathize with you." God knows Who did she learn this term from?

The next moment, she saw Shen Zhiqiu at the side, and thought that the man in white clothes looked very good-looking, so she threw herself on Shen Zhiqiu's lap, then turned around and solemnly announced to Han Bi, "It's him."

"..." Han Bi was speechless for a while, "Ah Jia, he is already mine, you can't grab me."

A Jia was deeply shocked, and couldn't stop crying on the spot, repeatedly saying "little uncle is a bad person".

Seeing her granddaughter hiccupping from crying, Mrs. Han kicked Han Bi out on the spot, ordering him not to coax Ah Jia well and not to come back. Shen Zhiqiu wanted to leave with her, but Mrs. Han stopped her with one sentence: "Mr. I have something to ask you."

Han Bi carried A Jia out of the house, and handed A Jia into her mother's hands. Mrs. Qiao just gave her daughter a look, and A Jia shut up aggrievedly. Mrs. Qiao said with a smile, "Don't worry, mother probably likes it very much." he."

Han Bi: "How do you see it?"

Mrs. Qiao thought for a while, and replied: "During the meal, she was obviously amused, but she didn't show it much - I would like to ask you, where did you find the baby? Even your elder brother Say yes repeatedly, and before you leave, don't forget to ask me to help you."

Han Bi smiled and said nothing, Qiao Shi didn't press him any more, coaxed A Jia and went back to the room.

He re-entered the hall, but hid behind the screen, listening carefully to the voice.

In the hall, Shen Zhiqiu stood with his hands behind his back. He looked calm, but his heart was ups and downs, and he couldn't touch it until Mrs. Han asked him to sit down. Shen Zhiqiu nodded silently, and put the shadow step sword on the On the table, after thinking for a while, he took the hilt of the sword into his hand again.

Han Xun stared at the shadow step sword that looked murderous at first sight, frowned and said, "What are you going to do?"

If an uninformed person was watching and seeing Shen Zhiqiu's seriousness, he might think that he was here to seek revenge.

Shen Zhiqiu: "Huh?"

Han Xun pointed out: "Your sword."

"I'm nervous." Shen Zhiqiu opened his mouth with difficulty, and at the same time clenched his hands even tighter, "This way... it will be better."

"It's up to you." After Han Xun said, he gave Mrs. Han a wink.

Mrs. Han smiled at Shen Zhiqiu: "Can you do me a favor?"

Shen Zhiqiu: "Please tell me."

Mrs. Han: "This matter has something to do with Bi'er."

Shen Zhiqiu said with emotion: "Since it's his business, I will naturally help."

Mrs. Han lowered her eyes slightly, and her tone was slow and soft, which sounded calm and breezy, but there were faint ups and downs: "To tell you the truth, he left home early in the morning to stand on his own and has never been controlled. You are alone, how can you not worry your parents? I know that you and Bi'er are close friends. They have gone through hardships together, supported each other on the way, and have a very deep relationship. If you can persuade him for us, we can get married as soon as possible and have a happy life A son and a half daughter is the best."

Hearing this, Shen Zhiqiu showed an extremely difficult expression.

Mrs. Han raised her eyes, and said with a half-smile: "Why, you don't want to?"

Shen Zhiqiu shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to."

Mrs. Han was taken aback, and said: "So, are you willing to persuade him to get married as soon as possible?"

"Why not? As far as I know, he had this plan in the first place." As Shen Zhiqiu spoke, his voice became weaker and weaker, and the second half of the sentence could not be heard clearly, "It's just..."

Han Xun frowned and said, "Speak louder and say it again."

Hearing this, Shen Zhiqiu blushed, and repeated each word loudly: "It's just a son and a half daughter, I can't give birth to it."

Behind the screen, someone almost laughed out loud.

"What does this have to do with you?" Han Xun was speechless for a long time, and then returned to normal after a while. In the past, he only heard Han Banbu mention that Shen Zhiqiu's words could piss people off.

Mrs. Han cleared her throat: "What I mean is naturally not to let you give birth..."

Shen Zhiqiu reminded solemnly: "Han Bi is also a man, he can't give birth either."

Madam Han pursed her lips, determined not to circle around with him again, and said bluntly: "Since you understand this, why don't you let go as soon as possible?"

Shen Zhiqiu understood, he lowered his head slightly and remained silent.

"What's more, I heard that you are the only son and the only heir in the family. Even if Bi'er has no intention of marrying a woman, can you do as he pleases?" Mrs. Han said.

Shen Zhiqiu: "I practice swordsmanship, so it's okay to be celibate."

Han Bi is different.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help frowning.

"I can see that you have a pure heart, and you are not a flippant, frivolous and impulsive person." Seeing his lost look, Mrs. Han sighed softly, "As for Bi'er, he has always been arrogant and arrogant, and even thinks too much of himself. He seldom puts anyone in his eyes. Sometimes he is as stubborn as a rock. If he has made up his mind, even the mountains in front of him can't stop him. He likes you now, but he will never change , but I'm not sure if you will change."

Shen Zhiqiu froze in place.

"It's good for two people to be happy, but it's difficult to get along. You and his temperament are very different, and the journey is even more dangerous. Difficulties follow one after another. Today, I just casually mentioned the matter of children, and you were shaken. In the future, if you encounter more exciting things and hear more ugly criticisms, will you still not change your original intention? Let me ask you, you are from the world, and you have old grievances on your body. If someone wants to fight you to the death, what will you do? Knowing that he will be worried, are you going or not?"

Shen Zhiqiu was dumb, and after a while, he replied in a low voice: "I will protect myself carefully."

"Let me ask you again, if you are walking together and people make cold remarks and look down upon you, how should you deal with yourself?"

"I... can go farther."

As long as Han Bi is not wronged, it doesn't matter what he does.

"Do you know that if you answer so ambiguously, you may be fine at first, but over time, a estrangement will inevitably arise." Mrs. Han looked at him steadily, her tone was calm, but she was very firm, "You are a good boy, but, you can't I can't feel at ease when I regard Bi'er as the most important thing in my heart."

Parents all over the world, just want peace of mind. Back then, because of the little love in her heart, Empress Han thought that she could overcome the difficulties and obstacles along the way. Who knew that she went to the dark all the way, but her sweetheart had already changed her original intention.With the lessons learned from the past, now knowing that Han Bi has a bumpy road ahead, how can she not worry?

On the other end, Shen Zhiqiu also pursed his lips tightly, and his palms felt cold unconsciously.

Mrs. Han saw that his expression was not good, but she sighed vaguely and said no more.Han Xun on the side immediately said in a deep voice: "Shen Zhiqiu, let me ask you one last question, if we still disagree and you are not allowed to meet each other, what will you do?"

Taking such a different route is destined to become a different kind, but along the way, Han Bi has taken care of everything for him, and he has hardly felt the slightest discomfort.All the chills in this world, the inevitable friction when getting along with him, and even his untimely stubbornness, were all gently erased by Han Bi, leaving only a few simple thoughts.

Although they walked together, Han Bi would always lead the way.

Shen Zhiqiu often feels that he is not doing enough, and it is only now that he really understands where he is not doing enough.

"Before entering the door, Han Bi told me that if you guys are not willing to agree, I must grit my teeth and say that he and I have made up our minds, and that 'the most important thing in this life is only each other'. In short, it is gone. He can't survive." Shen Zhiqiu replied truthfully, "It's a pity that I was too nervous just now, I forgot to mention it."

Behind the screen, someone touched his nose, and the deceit was exposed on the spot, which made him a little shy.

Han Xun snorted coldly: "He taught you such a clumsy lie, you just forget it."

"It's not a lie." Shen Zhiqiu shook his head, "I really think so."

Han Xun was speechless.

Shen Zhiqiu continued: "It's just not enough."

"Oh?"

"I can't never see him again." He paused, "So, I'm going to take him away."

Hearing this, Mrs. Han raised her eyes, her eyes were dimly lit.

"I have observed that in the Hou Mansion, although there are many people who understand martial arts, they can't beat me. If I want to take Han Bi far away, no one can stop me." Shen Zhiqiu couldn't help but hold the shadow pedal on the table tightly. Sword, his words were so firm that he could not be refuted, "No matter how difficult the future is, or what others think, I will take him along this journey."

After the words were over, his sweetheart paced out from behind the screen, talking and laughing like a crabapple just blooming.

"Shen Zhiqiu."

Shen Zhiqiu didn't expect him to be eavesdropping, and was taken aback for a moment: "Why are you here?"

"I threw myself into a trap."

"Oh."

"Where are you taking me?"

"……Where do you want to go?"

With the answer in his heart, Han Bi didn't speak, but just held his hand.

Thousands of words, less than a consonance, Shen Zhiqiu led him and walked out step by step.

However, after taking only two steps, he was stopped by someone. Shen Zhiqiu turned his head away in embarrassment, but he still refused to let go.

Mrs. Han paused for a moment, then showed her face and said, "I will leave it to you in the days to come."

Shen Zhiqiu: "I will take care of him."

Where do you want to go?

in your palm.
