The sick beauty has caught the bamboo horse

A-Lian hesitated for a moment; "Why don't we let the cook do it?"

She has been serving the young master for a while, and she has never seen him touch the "fireworks in the world". If the stove is lit...

Zhou Qingyan clicked his tongue: "How can others be qualified to let your young master cook? Hurry up and stop talking."

If Chu Heng had already rested later, it would be a waste of effort.

A-Lian muttered as she walked out: "So Xiaowan is qualified."

Zhou Qingyan: "..."

It was already late at night when Chu Heng walked out of the kitchen on the other side.

Looking up at the moon, the stars are sparse, and the silver light cast by the bright moon spreads a light layer of frost on the ground.

Behind Chu Heng was a little maid who was carrying a tray with a clay plate and a pot of hot tea on it.

The maid said as she walked, "My lord, your craftsmanship is really good."

As the saying goes, a good gentleman stays away from the kitchen, and this is really not an advantage.

But Chu Heng was used to it, and this time he suddenly remembered and asked, "What's your name?"

The maid replied respectfully, "My servant's name is Hongmei."

Another nickname, Chu Heng was helpless.From Ah Qiang to A Lian to Hong Mei, he still likes to use flowers as names as always.

"Is the other maid in the courtyard named Qiu Ju?" Chu Heng was probably in a good mood now, and even thought of joking with Hongmei.

Hongmei is still young, and the Zhou family has always been tolerant of scary people, so her temper is quite lively: "No, her name is Qiutang"

Chu Heng paused suddenly, only to hear Hongmei chirping behind him and continuing to talk.

"I heard elder sister Ah Qiang say that the crabapple blooms in spring, but you want to call her Qiutang. Young master, is there really a crabapple blooming in autumn in this world?"

Chu Heng was silent for a long time, until Hongmei almost forgot about it after walking the whole corridor, he heard his ethereal voice: "Yes."

I've seen it, when I was young and carefree.

Three years ago, during the lunch break of the Imperial College.

"Zhou Wuyin!" 17-year-old Chu Heng chased after him angrily.

A flying figure in front tapped the ground with its toes, and then jumped up to the eaves.

Back then, Zhou Qingyan hadn't reached the crown yet, only named Wuyin.

Zhou Qingyan squatted on the eaves, holding a light pink embroidered handkerchief in his hand, with a crabapple flower embroidered on the corner of the embroidered handkerchief.

Chu Henghu grimaced: "Come down, be careful not to be seen by Mr. Zhang."

Mr. Zhang is the Imperial Academy of Jijiu. He is highly educated and supports teaching without discrimination, but he requires students to be extremely strict.

Zhou Qingyan curled his lips and landed lightly: "If you didn't bark last time, how would I have been discovered?"

The last time it was clear that Zhou Qingyan was startled by a snake and stepped on his foot. He didn't notice it for a moment before making a sound, but he happened to be discovered by Jijiu.

Several people were punished after they came back.

At this time, two more people came out of the room, one in emerald green and the other in dark black, the emerald green one had a cold face, and the black one had a smile on his face.

The emerald one is called Lin Hongwen, and the black one is called Tao Anbai. Their fathers are ministers of the household department and the punishment department respectively.

Chu Heng has long been used to taking the blame for Zhou Qingyan, and he just snatched back the embroidered handkerchief without arguing with him.

This move caught Tao Anbai's eyes, and the young man clicked his tongue in amazement: "Brother Chu is worthy of being both talented and beautiful. I don't know when he disturbed Miss Bai's spring water?"

The three of them except Chu Heng laughed together.

Chu Heng frowned: "Don't talk nonsense and ruin the reputation of the girl in the boudoir."

Zhou Qingyan patted Chu Heng on the shoulder: "There are only four of us here, let's not spread the word."

Chu Heng just breathed a sigh of relief, and the next moment the embroidered handkerchief in his hand was taken away again.

"Besides, Miss Bai has already offered you an embroidered handkerchief, so I guess you're right and wrong." Zhou Qingyan blinked those extremely seductive eyes.

Chu Heng silently stared at Zhou Qingyan with a pair of eyes. The young man didn't realize the increasingly unfathomable meaning in Chu Heng's eyes, and just smiled.

Zhou Qingyan had a pretty smile, her smoky eyebrows were raised upwards, and the tails of her eyes were slightly curved, making the originally bright and bright eyes appear bigger and brighter.

The owner of these shining eyes didn't feel his heart at all.

At some point, Chu Heng clenched his hands tightly, and a vein bulged out on his back.

Tao Anbai wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Lin Hongwen before he could speak.

Sure enough, the next moment Chu Heng said in a bad tone: "I don't like her!"

The voice was loud, and Zhou Qingyan was caught off guard.

The Chu family fought for the country for generations. Chu Heng's father, General Chu, was extremely brave on the battlefield, but he was a gentle person outside the battlefield.

Therefore, Chu Heng and Zhou Qingyan were taught to be polite and restrained, and it was really out of breath to speak so loudly.

Zhou Qingyan looked at Chu Heng, who opened his eyes wide and clenched his fists tightly. If you looked closely, you could see that his entire back was almost stiff.

Zhou Qingyan shrunk his neck subconsciously: "No, if you don't like it, you don't like it. What's wrong?"

This person is used to eating soft things and fearing hard things.

Chu Heng took a deep breath and said with a cold face, "I will return the embroidered handkerchief."

Chu Heng was really out of breath this time, and he didn't talk to Zhou Qingyan all afternoon, no matter how Zhou Qingyan begged him.

"Brother Chu, have you finished the essay that Mr. asked to write yesterday?" This is Zhou Qingyan in a serious time.

"Ah Heng, I haven't written my essay yet." This is Zhou Qingyan who is trying to act like a baby.

In any case, Chu Heng stood still.

Zhou Qingyan's bright eyeballs rolled around, looking at Chu Heng's side face and curling his lips: "Yuanbao..."

Chu Heng suddenly stretched out his hand to cover Zhou Qingyan's mouth, preventing him from saying that name.

Zhou Qingyan yelled twice, and a little smile flashed in his eyes.

Chu Heng snorted coldly, and before he could let go of his hand, he heard a loud shout from above.

"Chu Heng, Zhou Wuyin!" The master who was in charge of writing the Four Letters had his nose crooked.

Chu Heng shuddered suddenly.

"If you don't listen, go out and stand, and copy today's lecture a hundred times tomorrow." The master knocked on the ruler several times, and the students below were completely silent.

Although it has already entered autumn, there is still some enthusiasm at this time.

The old lady was so angry that they were not allowed to stand in the shade.

Zhou Qingyan sighed every time he stood for a while, causing Chu Heng to look at him frequently.

"Stand still," Chu Heng said.

When he was young, he had to stand on horseback to practice basic skills, and he didn't see Zhou Qingyan cry out after standing for an hour. When he grew up, he was used to showing weakness.

Zhou Qingyan curled his lips: "If you're tired, no one is allowed to yell twice."

At the end, the ancestor quietly came over again: "There is no one else here now, tell me sincerely that you are interested in Miss Bai?"

The first daughter of the Bai family is named Bai Qingrou, her father is a cabinet minister, and her mother is Yipin Gaoming's wife. It is said that although this eldest lady has a prominent background, she never pretends to be coquettish, and she is very beautiful and generous.

Chu Heng squinted at him: "If I like you, will you recognize her as your sister-in-law?"

Zhou Qingyan was slightly taken aback.

Chu Heng has been with him for a few months. Although he is Chu Heng's companion in name, he has always been called a brother in the mainland. If Bai Qingrou really becomes Mrs. Chu in the future, he should indeed be called sister-in-law.

But for some reason, Zhou Qingyan couldn't say "sister-in-law".

Seeing his dilemma, Chu Heng finally laughed: "I'm married, so you can't come to me for drinks and tea all the time."

You can't just fall asleep on the couch when you get drunk, and you have to take off your clothes to serve him as an elder brother.

Zhou Qingyan felt uncomfortable for some reason, but this person maintained his appearance very well, and said indifferently: "So what?"

It's a pity that this appearance can fool others but not Chu Heng.The latter looked forward with a smile: "I have never met Miss Bai, so how do you care?"

"Then you are interested?"

It seems that there is no way around today, Chu Heng secretly sighed: "Haitang."

Zhou Qingyan was dissatisfied: "You know exactly what I'm talking about."

"Only Begonia." Chu Heng smiled, and there was a certain person whose birthday was the same as Begonia.

Zhou Qingyan finally remained silent.

That night, Chu Heng sat alone at the desk, with a large pile of copied rice paper in front of him, and the servant next to him dozed off while tidying up.

Chu Heng rubbed his sore shoulder: "Where is Wuyin?"

The boy wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes while Chu Heng was not paying attention: "I don't know, I disappeared as soon as I came back."

After a while, the boy said again: "Master, why do you continue after you have copied it a hundred times?"

"Copy it for Wuyin. It will save him from being punished tomorrow." Chu Heng's pen tip was stained with ink, and when it landed on the paper, he had already changed the font.

The little boy said with a smile: "Master, you really care about Mr. Wuyin."

Chu Heng laughed and shook his head, what if he doesn't care?That was the person he was thinking about.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened a crack, followed by a pair of charming eyes.

Chu Heng was helpless: "What are you going to do if you don't sleep?"

Zhou Qingyan didn't make a sound, just stood at the door and waved to him.

Chu Heng frowned slightly and walked over.Who would have thought that as soon as he reached the door, Zhou Qingyan would suddenly perform lightness kung fu and run out for some reason.

Zhou Qingyan's lightness kung fu was so amazing that even Chu Heng's father, General Chu, was amazed.

Chu Heng wondered what the ancestor was doing again, so he had time to turn around and say to the boy: "Put the things away."

Then he turned around and chased after Zhou Qingyan.

Originally thought that this person was just bored at night and came out to him to learn martial arts, but Zhou Qingyan flew all the way out of the Chu residence.

The night wind was blowing coolly on the face, and the two figures walked forward on the eaves.

Chu Heng could only hear the wind in his ears and the sound of gongs and drums beating men on the ground.

He is not as good as Zhou Qingyan in terms of light work, the latter will stop and wait for him after walking for a while.

Zhou Qingyan didn't stop until the crowds gradually thinned out, and it looked as if he had come to a certain other courtyard.

Chu Heng also stopped, and lightly landed on the ground: "Why did you bring me here?"

Zhou Qingyan smiled without saying a word, motioning him to move forward.

Just as Chu Heng took two steps forward, hundreds of Kongming lanterns rose out of nowhere, and the yellow light gradually illuminated the area.

The shock in Chu Heng's eyes only came from the Kongming lantern at the first moment, and then he was all attracted by the crabapple trees and crabapple flowers all over the ground.

The wind blows lightly, surging among countless blooming fiery red flowers. From the front, petals can be seen fluttering with the wind, and the fragrance of flowers comes from all directions unexpectedly.

Chu Heng couldn't take his eyes off it, and it took him a while to admire: "It's so beautiful."

Zhou Qingyan poked Chu Heng's shoulder: "Go, it's more beautiful to go to the roof to see it."

The angle of looking down is indeed more beautiful. Looking around, it is all flying red, so beautiful, so coquettish...

Chu Heng turned his head abruptly, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhou Qingyan looking at a sea of ​​flowers in front of him. He probably came out in a hurry, and the man didn't have time to tie his hair properly. A long strand of black hair was floating in the air with the wind, which happened to cover his lips. There was a gentle smile.

Zhou Qingyan was always a young child in Chu Heng's heart, and he had to watch him all the time not to do bad things, but at this moment, the corners of the young man's lips curled up slightly, showing a warm and clear gaze under the reflection of the night and the sea of ​​flowers.

Chu Heng was stunned for a moment.

"It's not the season for crabapple flowers to bloom, did you do this?" Chu Heng asked in a low voice.

Zhou Qingyan turned his head and blinked: "Your birthday is coming soon, I will send you a birthday gift in advance." I will send you a sea of ​​begonia flowers.

Hongmei was still chattering in his ears, Chu Heng smiled faintly, and then stopped.Hongmei poked her head quietly and said clearly, "My lord, you have to send it in yourself."

Chu Heng turned his head helplessly, why did all the girls in Zhou Qingyan's mansion have the same virtues as him: "You go back first."

Looking in from the outside, the inside of the house was pitch black, and it was unknown if Zhou Qingyan had been sleeping since daytime and hadn't woken up until now.Chu Heng pushed the door with the tray in one hand.

The door opened silently, but Chu Heng's ears moved keenly.

In an instant, years of experience saved Chu Heng's life, and the man took a step back, then bent over.The arrow flashing coldly swirled past the tip of the man's nose.

Chu Heng threw the tray into the sky without hesitation, and the next moment his figure disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, he had already landed next to the people in the room, and the dull sound of fists and kicks could be heard endlessly.

Chu Heng's elbow was stuck on the man's neck, and the scar on the left side of the man's face could be seen through the looming moonlight. At this moment, the man's neck was stuck and his face was flushed and struggling.

"Say, what do you want to do when you sneak into the Zhou Mansion?" Chu Heng's voice was extremely harsh.

A trace of viciousness flashed in the man's eyes, and he sneered: "You are dreaming!"

Chu Heng was about to strangle the man in front of him to death, when a wolf howled suddenly!There are wolves in the house, and more than one!

The man subconsciously shivered, and could even feel the sharp wolf claws making a huge gash on his back.But in fact, this is just an illusion.

shhhhhh!

A-Lian appeared at the door, shot the arrow in her sleeve without hesitation, and the howling of wolves subsided immediately, leaving only a small whimper.

Chu Heng woke up suddenly, and found that there were no wolf claws on his back. He had been watching the assassin all the time, and just after he broke through some kind of nightmare, the assassin spit out a big mouthful of black blood.

Chu Heng was caught off guard.

A-Lian walked in, followed by two or three people, among them was Ah Qiang from yesterday.The others carried the wolf's body out.

Chu Heng took the assassin's chin off without hesitation, and casually threw him on the ground: "Interrogate well." A Lian's hidden weapon and Ah Qiang's skill last night showed that they were not ordinary maids.

Ah Qiang hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

A-Lian breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself: "Fortunately, the young master is not in the house."

Chu Heng's body suddenly stopped, and he turned his head: "Where is he?"

Alian: "In the small kitchen..." The girl's voice froze suddenly.

She also realized what was wrong. She found out about the assassin when she came back to get some things. The people Ah Qiang brought were here on duty, which means that the young master is now alone in the small kitchen.

Before Chu Heng could say anything, he rushed out. The assassin on the ground sneered, and if his jaw hadn't been removed, he might have said something more.

"I only realized it now, I'm afraid Zhou Qingyan's body will be cold."
