On New Year's Day, the servants of the Chen family were awakened early in the morning by knocking on the door.

The steward still held a chicken in his hand and went to open the door, thinking that there is no reason to visit the door early in the early morning of the New Year's Eve.

"Official Meng?"

As soon as the door opened, the steward froze.

I saw Meng Ruanqing wearing a dark blue long gown and a square scarf on his head.There is also floral embroidery on the edge of the sleeves.The fabric looks like it was newly torn for the New Year's Eve.

Looking down, the person in charge suddenly saw that the other party was empty-handed.

Well, it’s fine to knock on the door early in the morning on New Year’s Eve, and you still don’t bring anything?

Meng Ruanqing glanced into the courtyard.Although there are peach charms hanging on the door, it is extremely deserted and has no sense of the New Year.I can't help but walk in while disgusted.

"Is your Patriarch so poor during Chinese New Year?"

The steward carried the chicken and chased after him.Thinking of what the Patriarch was doing at the moment, he tried to dissuade him with a smile on his face.

"Meng Guan, wait a minute..."

"Chen Jun..."

Unfortunately, Meng Ruanqing walked very fast.Pushed open the door.Immediately, the scene inside was clear at a glance.

The name that hadn't been called suddenly got stuck in his throat.Meng Ruanqing's eyes fell on the figure in the room with his back facing him irresistibly.

Automatically made a noise to the backyard, and heard a familiar voice.Chen Juncong had already expected the reason.As soon as he tied the belt on the double-breasted gown, the door was pushed open.

The weak winter sun slanted in, and Chen Juncong put on the outermost layer of black long trousers again in an extremely calm manner, and then slowly turned around.

His probing eyes fell on the steward's hands.The rooster with bright feathers shook his head and made a "cluck" sound from time to time.

"Patriarch, Officer Meng is here."

The steward came back to his senses and explained, and went to the kitchen with the rooster.

At this time, only Chen Juncong and Meng Ruanqing were left.

Meng Ruanqing never expected that he would see such a scene.Originally coming with a menacing momentum, he suddenly lost his breath.

The hair of the man in front of him was still dripping with water.Perhaps it was water vapor, and her face was still rosy.With drooping eyes, there was an inexplicable grievance under the calm image.

Thinking of what happened in Fanlou that day, Meng Ruanqing said, "I'm not angry yet, but you are wronged first."

"Sit down."

As soon as Chen Juncong opened his mouth, he returned to the original taste.The voice is peaceful.It's just an imperceptible alienation.

Ever since the leaky courtyard broke up, and Fan Lou acted recklessly, Chen Juncong deliberately avoided Meng Ruanqing.On the one hand, I want to completely eliminate the thoughts I shouldn't have, and on the other hand, I really don't know how to treat each other so as not to embarrass each other.

Meng Ruanqing rolled up his sleeves and sat behind him on the soft couch, and saw a purse on the table in a blink of an eye.

The purse was in the shape of a gourd, with a few bamboo leaves embroidered on it, it was hard not to notice it.

"This purse..."

Ever since he became a Jinshi and became an official in Beijing, Meng Ruanqing can be said to have eloquently expressed his love for Chen Juncong.He has never been in the habit of carrying a purse.

Before his fingertips touched the webbing on the purse, Chen Juncong quickly reached out and grabbed it and put it into the cabinet.Xu Shi felt that it was too abrupt, so he calmed down and said: "Yesterday, when the family members went to Beijing for business, they brought a purse made by Chen Runniang."

Meng Ruanqing's expression froze, and she suddenly felt depressed for a while, but she didn't want to think about it.Try to make yourself forget about the things just now, and make a gesture of indifference.

"You and my relatives are all in our hometown. It's no fun to guard the yard alone on New Year's Day, so I came here for a meal."

He changed his voice somewhat unnaturally: "I know you hired a cook in a sedan chair last year."

The cooks in Heng Dynasty have a very high status.Not to mention that good cooks are rare, but they have to use sedan chairs to invite them into the mansion dignifiedly.

Chen Juncong was avoiding him.There is no doubt about it.

To be honest, they couldn't get away from the matter of Fan Lou.

Meng Ruanqing lost his sense of propriety when he was slightly drunk, while Chen Juncong's love surpassed his reason, and he was rarely reckless.

In his mind, Meng Ruanqing's memory of that time was as clear as yesterday.

It's just a kiss within the curtain, amidst the fragrance of wine, that's all.
