Liu Zihe was drinking rice wine in the room, when he heard the voice, he turned around and saw that it was Lin Shurou, he choked and coughed again and again.

"Brother Zihe, are you alright?" Zheng Jiawen asked when he saw Liu Zihe's flushed face.

Liu Zihe couldn't speak, raised his hand and waved it. Even though he knew the truth, he was still shocked when the truth appeared in front of his eyes.

Lin Shurou didn't expect that there was someone else in the room. Seeing that it was Liu Zihe, she panicked a bit. This person knew her cousin and they knew each other. She was beating her heart. It could be seen that she came at the wrong time. The more she didn't want to be known, the more she would be exposed.

"Mother!" Zheng Nian was very happy, jumped off the chair and rushed towards Lin Shurou.

Lin Shurou quickly bent down to pick up Nian Nian, raised her hand to gently touch Nian Nian's powdery face, she really couldn't bear to part with Nian Nian.

Liu Zihe opened his mouth wide, Zheng Jiawen's goddaughter was called Aunt Lin Shurou, whether the relationship should be exposed like this.

"Nian Nian, do you miss me?" Lin Shurou hugged Nian Nian, suddenly felt a sense of relief, her small hand was attached to her face, and her heart softened.

"So much, I dreamed about it at night." Zheng Nian was very happy.

"Shu Rou, have you eaten? Sit down and have some together?" Zheng Jiawen said and pulled the stool away.

"No, I'll take Niannian to our house." Lin Shurou glanced at the wine on the table, hugged Niannian and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Zheng Jiawen quickly stopped him and said, "Shu Rou, well, since you're here, let's talk calmly, my mother..."

"I don't want to talk about your family." Lin Shurou bypassed Zheng Jiawen and went straight out.

Zheng Jiawen chased him out, and when he got to the street, he watched Lin Shurou get into the rickshaw with Nian Nian in his arms.

"Yinzhi, I have to leave beforehand, so keep the rice wine for you to drink." Liu Zihe said standing behind Zheng Jiawen.

Zheng Jiawen turned around to look at Liu Zihe with wide eyes, and asked, "Did you close the door?"

"That's right." Liu Zihe said it as a matter of course, and when he saw Zheng Jiawen's expression, he was stunned for a moment, "You, you didn't bring the key out?"

"What do you think?" Zheng Jiawen touched his pockets with both hands, thinking about staying in a hotel tonight, but he didn't have a single coin.

Liu Zihe also took out his pocket, only a dozen or so copper coins: "I am Yueyueguang."

Zheng Jiawen sighed, waved his hand to let Liu Zihe go.

Liu Zihe felt guilty and said, "Why don't you follow me to live in the teacher's dormitory?"

"Men and women have different rooms, thank you." Zheng Jiawen would rather sleep on the road than live under the same roof as a man.

"Then what should we do?" Liu Zihe was worried, when he saw Mrs. Zheng coming towards him, his eyes lit up and he hurried forward.

Hou Shuyi just came back from Shangming Garments, and she went to pick up the long gown that Zheng Jiawen made last time at Shangming Garments.This is about to reach the door of the house, and suddenly a man in front of her hurriedly came towards her.

"Mrs. Zheng." Liu Zihe greeted with a smile, "Mrs. Zheng, she didn't bring the key when she came out. Can I ask Mrs. Zheng to take me in today?"

Before Hou Shuyi could speak, Zheng Jiawen hurried over.

"Mrs. Zheng is fine. I'll go get the spare key in a while." Zheng Jiawen stepped forward and grabbed Liu Zihe's sleeve, signaling him not to talk nonsense.

"Oh, it's good to have a spare key. If you want to get it, hurry up. I think it's going to rain today." After Hou Shuyi said that, she smiled slightly, passed Liu Zihe and returned home, and did not invite Zheng Jiawen as warmly as in the past.

"A spare key? Does Ms. Lin have it?" Liu Zihe looked at Zheng Jiawen, "But I don't think she really wants to see you."

Zheng Jiawen looked at Liu Zihe, and said slowly: "Brother Zihe can go for me, after all, you shut me out."

Liu Zihe's eyes widened, he thought for a while, raised his hand and snapped his fingers: "Wait, I'll get it for you."

Zheng Jiawen was stunned for a while, Liu Zihe went without asking her address?This is knowing the address of the Lin family in advance.

At this time, Hou Shuyi stood in front of the window and looked at Zheng Jiawen. She thought that Zheng Jiawen would at least make some progress when he went back this time, but from the current point of view, he was still deadlocked.

"Aniang, why do you keep peeking at Mr. Tao?" Zheng Xianglan tugged at Hou Shuyi's sleeve, stepped on a stool and looked down from the window.

"Because Mr. Tao is good-looking." Hou Shuyi laughed.

"Well, Mr. Tao is very good-looking. What I like most is Mr.'s hair, which is very smooth, and Mr.'s eyes are also very clear and beautiful." Zheng Xianglan praised with a smile.

Hou Shuyi smiled and said: "I'm talking about your husband's good-looking temperament, not about his appearance. Do you think that your husband has a strong bookish atmosphere, with a bit of elegance and a bit of a daughter's carefulness, of course she also There is an inadvertent naughtiness."

"Ah? My husband is naughty?" Zheng Xianglan doubted her ears when she heard the words, "How can you be naughty, sir, you are an adult, you are not naughty at all."

Hou Shuyi smiled without saying a word, looked at it for a while and said, "Let's go, go down to eat."

Zheng Jiawen sat at the door of the apartment and waited for Liu Zihe. After waiting for a long time, Liu Zihe didn't wait, but the sky suddenly changed, rumbling, rumbling, thunder mixed with lightning, and it rained heavily after a while.

Hou Shuyi, who had finished her meal early, was studying the tea market in the study, when she heard the rumble of thunder and Zheng Jiawen outside, she went to the window to look down, only to see a little rabbit who was embarrassed and helpless.

Zheng Jiawen hid under the eaves of the apartment door, the hem of his gown was already wet by the rain.

People on the street ran wildly in the rain, or squeezed into the tram, and of course the rich sat firmly in the car.

"Excuse me, is this Miss Tao Yinzhi?" A rickshaw driver stopped in front of the apartment, and at this moment he was drenched all over.

"It's me, did someone ask you to give me the key?" Zheng Jiawen asked because the sound of the rain amplified his voice.

"Mr. Liu said that Ms. Lin is not at home. He didn't find anyone. Let me report to you." The coachman said, pulled the rickshaw and ran away.

Zheng Jiawen opened his mouth and watched the coachman disappear into the rain curtain. It turned out that it was God who really played tricks on her.

Zheng Jiawen had no choice but to turn around and enter the apartment, and sat on the stairs leaning against the wall. Does she want to go to school tomorrow in such a mess?

Hou Shuyi stood with her arms folded for a while, then turned around and went out, took an umbrella at the door and left the house.

One is because Zheng Jiawen is really miserable, and the other is because the Zheng family's eyeliner is everywhere, she can't offend her strong backing.

Hou Shuyi walked out of the house in the rain under an umbrella, stepped into the apartment, and saw Zheng Jiawen leaning against the wall with her eyes closed. Who would believe that this is the second lady of the Zheng family? People who were born with a golden spoon in their mouths are now falling into ruin To squat in the corner.

Hou Shuyi suddenly felt distressed, and Hou Shuyi approached slowly.

Zheng Jiawen slowly opened his eyes when he heard the voice, and saw Mrs. Zheng looking at her with pity, yes, pity.

Zheng Jiawen pursed his lips and did not speak.

"Our family, Xiang Lan, wants to ask you a question about schoolwork. I wonder if I can ask Mr. Tao?" Hou Shuyi asked.

Zheng Jiawen laughed, this Mrs. Zheng always saved face for others, she clearly wanted to take her in out of good intentions, but she said that she was invited to help her daughter.

"What are you laughing at? Do you want me to pull you up?" Hou Shuyi raised her eyebrows.

"I'll do it myself." Zheng Jiawen stood up with his support on the wall, and followed Hou Shuyi to the door of the apartment.

It was raining heavily outside, and Zheng Jiawen raised his hand to hold the top of the umbrella handle and said, "Let me open the umbrella!"

Hou Shuyi let go of the umbrella handle and smiled.

Zheng Jiawen was puzzled, turned his head to look at Hou Shuyi, and panicked when he saw the other party's smile. This smile was so pure that the people who saw it wanted to laugh too, but she froze and asked, "What is Mrs. Zheng laughing at?"

"I smile because I am happy. Mr. Tao, a female teacher, has a gentlemanly demeanor for the first time in front of such a flowery beauty like me." Hou Shuyi's eyebrows are hooked, her teeth are white, and her smile is very contagious.

Zheng Jiawen's hand holding the umbrella was tight and tight, and Hou Shuyi completely broke her previous cognition. In her previous cognition, beautiful women would not take the initiative to say that they are beautiful, and they would humbly say something when they were praised by outsiders. .

"Mrs. Zheng is very funny." Zheng Jiawen didn't feel disgusted in his heart. Instead, he thought about the words and the tone carefully and wanted to laugh.

"Does the subtext of being funny here mean shameless (face)?" Hou Shuyi asked rhetorically.

"No, the subtext of being funny here should be the meaning of an interesting soul."

"Interesting soul? Are all the teachers who can talk like you?" Hou Shuyi was happy, the corners of her mouth raised, and she glanced at the heavy rain outside, "Let's go back first."

Zheng Jiawen hurriedly followed with an umbrella. Under the heavy rain, the two of them walked closely together and walked towards the opposite building in unison. Because the umbrella was leaning towards Mrs. Zheng, her left shoulder was already wet.

Hou Shuyi, who entered the house, saw it in her eyes, and her heart was still warm. This second young lady who is neither arrogant nor impetuous has the common faults of contemporary eldest young ladies. In fact, if there is not a Miss Lin among them, then she and Zheng Jiawen are considered a match made in heaven. .

"Mr. Tao, your clothes are wet. If you don't mind, why don't you wear mine first?"

"Ah?" Zheng Jiawen thought of the cheongsam that was slit to the thigh, and quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, I just take off the long gown."

Zheng Jiawen started to unbutton the buttons, and she put on a white button-up jacket with front placket and white linen pants, and very ordinary old-fashioned black cloth shoes on her feet.From the clothing point of view, very poor.

"That's no good, you'll catch a cold." Hou Shuyi knew what Zheng Jiawen was afraid of from seeing Zheng Jiawen's expression, "Take a bath first." Hou Shuyi said, leading Zheng Jiawen upstairs.

"Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. Zheng..." Zheng Jiawen wanted to break free from Mrs. Zheng's hand, but the other party would not allow her to break free at all.

Hou Shuyi directly pushed Zheng Jiawen into the bathroom, then took out her own blue and white cheongsam from the cabinet, folded it on top of the gown and underwear she had just brought back from Shangming Garment, and knocked on the door of the bathroom with a smile.

When Zheng Jiawen saw the cheongsam, he couldn't love it.

"I, do I really want to wear this?"

"Mr. Tao, give it a try, it will look good." Hou Shuyi teased Zheng Jiawen, she couldn't help it, she didn't want to be addicted to it, she couldn't help it.

"Yes, but I am a conservative person." Zheng Jiawen looked at Mrs. Zheng and said.

"No, no, truly conservative people don't wear suits. Mr. Tao has stayed abroad, and he is an advanced school student who belongs to the Shanghai school." Hou Shuyi said and slowly closed the door.

Zheng Jiawen helplessly put his clothes on the stool in the bathroom, and was just about to take off his middle clothes when the door rang again.

"This is a new brief I bought. I haven't worn it." Hou Shuyi watched Zheng Jiawen's face turn red a little, and suddenly felt very funny.

"Thank you, thank you." Zheng Jiawen snatched it and quickly closed the door, really embarrassed.

Hou Shuyi knew that Zheng Jiawen was shy, but she didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so intense.Hou Shuyi smiled and shook her head, took the book and went to the two daughters' rooms.

Zheng Jiawen leaned against the door of the bathroom, and it took a long time before he blushed, took off his clothes and turned on the shower. After a simple shower, Zheng Jiawen stood in front of the cheongsam for a long time before he picked up the cheongsam helplessly. As soon as he unfolded it, he was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a long gown underneath , Hastily put down the cheongsam, picked up the gown, and froze smoothly.

This fabric was clearly the fabric she chose at Shangming Clothing that time, but she didn't want a deposit of 20 yuan that time.

Mrs. Zheng asked Shangming Garment to make this gown according to her size in private?

Zheng Jiawen held the long gown and remained silent. This kind of heart really touched her, very heart-warming, very heart-warming.

If she had met Mrs. Zheng earlier, maybe...

Suddenly Zheng Jiawen came back to his senses in shock, because this wrong thought came to his mind, Zheng Jiawen put on his clothes in a panic.

When Hou Shuyi coaxed her two daughters back to sleep, she passed the bathroom and stopped when she saw Zheng Jiawen was washing clothes very seriously. This second lady is really quite self-reliant.

"Mr. Tao, why didn't you wear the cheongsam I gave you? Oh~ you hate me for wearing it?" Hou Shuyi joked with a smile.

Zheng Jiawen's body stiffened when he heard Hou Shuyi's voice, took a deep breath and turned around slowly, not daring to look at Mrs. Zheng, and said: "Mrs. Zheng is clearly teasing me, there is obviously a long gown underneath."

"Really?" Hou Shuyi smiled and approached, "Why don't I know?"

Zheng Jiawen's lowered eyes rolled up, this Mrs. Zheng was really touching when she was touched, and the way she didn't blink her eyes or blushed when she was in a panic made her teeth itch but she couldn't hate it.

"Then maybe Mrs. Zheng's house is haunted."

Hou Shuyi smiled when she heard the words, and her eyes were full of smiles in a blink of an eye.

"Thank you Mr. Tao for reminding me, oh, by the way, will Mr. Tao live with me in the bedroom or in the study tonight?"

"Just live in the study. Thank you Mrs. Zheng for taking me in tonight." Zheng Jiawen quickly made a choice.

"Mr. Tao, are you sure?" Hou Shuyi approached and looked at Zheng Jiawen.

"Indeed, sure." Zheng Jiawen said with his head eccentric.

"Oh, well, it's just that the mansion is haunted. Mr. Tao should be careful when he lives alone in the study at night. That female ghost is very beautiful, and she specializes in seducing the souls of learned people." Hou Shuyi said and left with a smile.

Zheng Jiawen leaned on the sink for a long time and couldn't regain his senses. This female ghost, Mrs. Zheng, must be herself.

Hou Shuyi went back to the bedroom, took a new quilt and bed sheet and pillowcase from the cabinet, and carried them to the study.

Hou Shuyi's self-reliance has been cultivated since she was a child. She can change the bedding and sheets in a few minutes. If she learned how to make a quilt cover for the first time, it was taught by her grandmother. That was the only time her mother took her to Jinjiang. In my impression, my grandmother was very kind to her, but very strict to her mother. I didn't understand it when I was a child, but now I know that it is because of the mother's love for her daughter, because she hates her daughter for marrying casually as a concubine.

Hou Shuyi sat by the bed for a while, then got up and went to the bathroom. It happened that Zheng Jiawen had finished washing his clothes. Hou Shuyi asked Mama Yang to hang them, and she brought Zheng Jiawen to the door of the study.

"Mr. Tao, this is the study room, you go in first." After Hou Shuyi said that, she turned and went downstairs to fetch milk.

Zheng Jiawen closed the door after Mrs. Zheng left.

Zheng Jiawen looked around the study room, walked in slowly, walked to the desk, picked up the co-published book, the title page was printed with the editor Tao Yinzhi, the stories in it included fables and vernacular, and she made up her own, whether it was Old stories or new stories, Mrs. Zheng can draw them vividly.

Zheng Jiawen put down his book, and saw that there were various books and newspapers about tea in the middle of the table. Mrs. Zheng has opened a women's clothing company, so does she still want to start a tea business?I have to say that this Mrs. Zheng is indeed a new woman, independent, strong and decisive, giving people the feeling that she can shelter herself from the wind and rain without the help of others.

When Zheng Jiawen was in a trance, there was a knock on the door of the study, and Zheng Jiawen hurried to open the door, only to see Mrs. Zheng smiling at her with a glass of milk at the door.

"A glass of milk at night will improve memory." Hou Shuyi smiled and handed it over.

Zheng Jiawen looked at the milk in front of him, and took it hesitantly. It seems that her memory doesn't need to be supplemented by milk.

"Thank you." Zheng Jiawen thanked her sincerely. After all, everything he did for her was intentional, not just as it should be.

"You're welcome, but I don't know if Mr. Tao minds if I read the materials here?" Hou Shuyi asked.

"Of course I don't mind." Zheng Jiawen stepped aside and let Mrs. Zheng walk in.

Hou Shuyi walked to the desk and sat down, picked up the newspaper from the tea market and read it.

Hou Shuyi, who worked hard, exuded a charming atmosphere. She was quiet, gentle, and very intellectual.

Zheng Jiawen sat on the bed and listened to the sound of the rainstorm outside, feeling very uneasy. Seeing a few pages of white paper and pens on the bedside table, he picked them up, intending to study how to make simple experimental tools, but was stunned when he picked them up .

There is a picture of her on the front of each piece of paper, with some small characters next to it.

"My heart pleases you."

"You are wandering in the street, but you don't know that I am watching you from the window."

"If this is a bad fate, and there is no result after all, I think, I will also be grateful to Yuelao, who once let me meet her."

"The strong heart has no place to rest, when will this single-minded love stop? When will it stop?"

"If this love shouldn't exist, then I believe that God will make me give up step by step. I just need to be the best of myself and live up to this fresh life."

Zheng Jiawen looked at one by one, her eyes gradually became sore, and one or two tears fell on the paintings. She did not expect that the other party's love would be so strong. Looking at the dates on the paintings, it seemed that they had met each other since they met. Soon began to draw.

Zheng Jiawen slowly raised his head and looked at Mrs. Zheng who was still writing in the newspaper. Every detail of being with Mrs. Zheng came to mind.She was very touched by this love, and also admired Mrs. Zheng's courage to face a girl she liked, but this love was too much for her. Her life was messed up by her, and Mrs. Zheng deserved a better partner. , and she herself should try to do something for her and Shurou's future.

Zheng Jiawen wiped his eyes with his hand, and put the painting back on the bedside table, leaving the end before the beginning, which seemed to be the most sensible choice.

Hou Shuyi wasn't distracted. When she saw Zheng Jiawen picking up the drawing paper, her heart tightened. This was not intentional, but she was used to putting it on the bedside table after drawing. She wanted to stand up and stop it, but she didn't She changed her mind when she stood up, she wanted to see Zheng Jiawen's reaction.

When Zheng Jiawen quietly put the painting back to its original place, the answer was already there.

"Mr. Tao, it's getting late, go to bed early, good night." Hou Shuyi stood up, turned around and walked out after saying that, she walked quickly, even with a trace of grievance, she returned to the room with red eyes.No matter how many ideas she had, she might not be able to win anyone's heart, but it was clearly impossible for Zheng Jiawen and Miss Lin, and anyone with a discerning eye would know it at a glance, so should she wait?

The next morning, when Zheng Jiawen went downstairs after dressing and washing, Hou Shuyi was already sitting at the dining table with her two children. When she heard the voice, she looked back and said with a smile, "Good morning, Mr. Tao, let's have breakfast together."

"Morning, Mrs. Zheng." Zheng Jiawen greeted awkwardly.

"Good morning, sir. Come on, sit on the right side of Auntie." Zheng Xianglan ran over, took Zheng Jiawen's hand and led him directly to her Auntie.

Hou Shuyi peeled an egg and put it into the bowl in front of Zheng Jiawen with a smile: "Eat it quickly, Jialan is going to be late for school, please take her there."

Zheng Jiawen held the chopsticks and was speechless for a while, don't treat her any more, who can resist such kindness, whose heart is as hard as iron.This kind of life is what she longs for. The family sits together and eats simple meals. The scene in front of her touches the softest part of her heart. Zheng Jiawen feels the danger. If she continues to sink, she is afraid that she will look down on herself for the rest of her life. Really have to decide to stay away.

After dinner, Zheng Jiawen led Zheng Xianglan to St. Lacey Primary School.
