[Seventy-five] Cat control the rivers and lakes

Princess, you are here.

The greeting with a surprised tone was actually so unfamiliar.Mei Niang stared blankly at Zhan Zhao's face. When he saw her, he only realized her existence after sitting down. Before that, he only had eyes for this indifferent woman beside him.

Pulling herself together, she smiled sweetly at him, "Brother Zhan is surprised that I'm here?"

Brother Zhan, it has more intimacy than Brother Zhan, and it also shortens the distance between the two. This is a name she has practiced countless times. She thought she would stutter when she spoke, but she didn't expect it to be like this smooth.She has always been a shy person, especially in front of people she likes, but now, she has become more courageous than before.

As expected, Zhan Zhao was stunned for a while, as if he was not quite used to the title "Brother Zhan".He quickly regained his composure, and said with a smile, "Of course Zhan didn't mean that, it's just that the Kaifeng mansion is simple and light, and you are wronged, princess."

Mei Niang smiled, dimples appeared on both sides of her cheeks, "When I was not a princess, I had worse food than this."

Facing Mei Niang's smiling face, Zhan Zhao recalled what Baogong went through in the case of replacing the civet cat with the prince, and instantly fell into memories, "Yes, you invited Zhan to stay for dinner at that time."

Mei Niang's smile became sweeter and her dimples deepened, "Yes, yes, although there are no good food and wine for brother Zhan, but you are very kind to finish eating all the dishes and help me clean up the dishes. It was after Niang's disappearance, if it wasn't for Brother Zhan and you, Mei Niang really didn't know what to do."

"But don't you have a good life now? Compared with the small house before, what you have now is what many people dream of."

The smile froze on Mei Niang's face, she silently lowered her eyes, her expression was very lonely, "Rather than staying in a place like a cage, it's better..." She looked at Zhan Zhao, her eyes sparkling, that kind of The little girl showed her unreserved admiration for the big hero, hoping that the hero could rescue her from the fire and water.

Facing Mei Niang's expression, Zhan Zhao held up his chopsticks and forgot to ask for food.For the first time, he felt that Mei Niang was no longer that naive and ignorant girl in front of him, and she had hidden thoughts in her heart that he couldn't figure out.Her quiet dress made her look more beautiful and attractive, her eyes were too hot, he quickly turned his eyes away, and saw Gongsun Junruo who was watching the show.

"Hero Zhan, I still have patients coming this afternoon, so I'll leave the princess to you first. I'll come to you when I'm done." She put down the dishes and stood up, "I'm done eating, both of you." eat slowly."

"Gongsun..."

"Brother Zhan, you can play with me this afternoon, I'm almost suffocated in the palace."

Mei Niang's words interrupted Zhan Zhao's call to her, and her progress stagnated slightly, but in the blink of an eye, she strode away without looking back.

In the afternoon, when Gongsun Junruo was still seeing the patient, Xiao Hong rushed in with a displeased face, and angrily put the medicinal materials she wanted heavily on her hand, which made the patient stare at her with wide eyes. .Gongsun Junruo raised his eyes and glanced at her, then lowered his head and continued to feel the patient's pulse.

"Sister, why are you still thinking about being here?"

Letting go of the patient's hand, Gongsun Junruo said without raising his head while drawing a pen and paper, "Take care of the patient, who messed with you?"

"You're still in the mood, your Zhan Daxia is about to be snatched away, okay?" Xiao Hong hammered down the table angrily, and the patient stood up and looked at her in fright, "What are you looking at, I haven't seen a beautiful woman before." Angry?"

"This is the medicine you want to grab. Let Uncle Zhang dispense it to you later, just follow the above method."

The patient quickly took the list from Gongsun Junruo, thanked him and ran away.

Gongsun Junruo sat back on his seat and began to sort out the brochures, "First of all, Zhan Zhao is not mine, so don't mention me before his title; second, whoever likes him is a matter between others and him, you don't have to talk to me about it." report."

"What's not yours? Everyone in the Kaifeng Mansion knows that Zhan Daxia likes you, so just lie to yourself!"

The hand that was arranging the booklet paused, and in just a moment, she tidied up the counter and looked up at Xiaohong, "Princess likes Zhan Daxia, that's the glory and wealth that many men spend their whole lives pursuing. It is a great joy, what do you say to me? We should congratulate him, and this is the glory of Kaifeng Mansion. In the future, Kaifeng Mansion will have a son-in-law, and Bao Gong's official career will be smoother."

"You..." Xiao Hong got angry and said harsh words, "When Mr. Zhan is really with the princess, you can secretly hide and cry!" After she finished speaking, she left angrily.

Only she and Uncle Zhang were left in the pharmacy. The sound of Xiaohong stomping her feet made Uncle Zhang look this way frequently. Now that she was gone, Uncle Zhang was busy with his own affairs.The pharmacy suddenly became quiet, and Gongsun Junruo stared blankly at the rows of boxes containing medicinal herbs behind her, she didn't even know that someone came in.

"Sister Gongsun, sister Gongsun?" Mei Niang waved her hand in front of her.

If Gongsun Jun came back to his senses, he saw Mei Niang standing in front of her and asked, "Why are you here? Aren't you with Mr. Zhan?"

"Sister Gongsun, can you stop using the word 'you'? Aren't you and I sisters? I don't want a sense of distance between you and me."

"It's getting late outside, so it doesn't matter if the princess doesn't go back to the palace?"

Mei Niang took her hand and sat down beside her, said with a smile, "I will leave after I discuss something with my sister."

His heart froze for no reason, vaguely knowing what she would say, Gongsun Junruo still waited for her to say it.

"I... confessed my love to Mr. Zhan." She lowered her head, twisted her hands together, and her shy posture showed the demeanor of a little woman.

Xiaohong had already told her this news, but compared to what Mei Niang told her personally, the shock that the latter gave her was still beyond her imagination.

"Well, that's good." It took a long time for her to find her voice.

Mei Niang looked at her and observed the expression on her face, "Sister Gongsun, you...don't you blame me? Blame me for confessing to brother Zhan, blame me for suddenly putting my feelings..."

"how?"

"I used to like Mr. Bao very much. I felt that he was like an elder, impartial and selfless, always thinking of you, and like a father, kind and loving, but I was completely rejected by him, and I also knew that it was impossible for me to be with him. Yes, he has a family and is so clear-sighted that he would not have any personal feelings for me, if it wasn't for Brother Zhan's enlightenment and meticulous care for me, I still don't know what would happen to me." Mei Niang paused After a while, his eyes became extremely gentle, which is only what someone with a heart would have, "I thought I was transferring my feelings, and wanted to borrow Brother Zhan to forget Mr. Bao, but later I found that I couldn't restrain my liking for him. Even I couldn't control myself, I started to be afraid, and I started to be cautious, afraid that if he knew, he would think that I liked the new and disliked the old, but... it was he who encouraged me and allowed me to speak out. "

"Sister Gongsun, what about you? Do you think I'm a bother? After all, I used to treat Master Bao too..."

Gongsun Junruo looked at her and said, "Your desire for Master Bao is only for fatherly love, but Zhan Zhao is for you to recognize what is true liking."

"That's right, that's it, so..."

Facing Mei Niang's expectant eyes, she lowered her head and lowered her eyes, "That's a good thing for you, Zhan Daxia is also a good man."

"Sister Gongsun..." There was no blessing and no statement, such words made Meiniang even more uneasy.At this moment, the sedan chair was already prepared outside, and her father-in-law had been waiting for a long time. She glanced at Gongsun Junruo's busy back, and followed him out of the pharmacy.

At night, the waning moon hangs high in the black velvet night sky, and the faint light is almost swallowed by the black night, even if it tries to shine, it is so insignificant.The lanterns on the porch dispel the darkness, but they cannot dispel the biting cold.Even though it was already spring, the temperature at night was still very low.

The water mist rises in the room, and in the tub big enough, blue silk spreads on the water surface, rippling in the fluctuation of the water surface, the woman's fair skin is faintly visible in the water, the water vapor envelops her face, and her face is reddened by the heat. .

With a splash, the water splashed everywhere, and the slender legs stepped out of the bathtub, quickly pulled the clothes on the screen and put them on the body.The skin was pressed against the clothes, and when the door was opened, the air-conditioning came in with a slight chill, closing the pores that had been dilated with difficulty, and goose bumps appeared one after another.

Her hair is still wet, and the tips of her hair are dripping with water, but she likes the feeling of facing the wind like this, even if her head hurts, it can make her wake up a bit.

The door of the opposite room was half-closed, and the candlelight in the room was dancing, and there were many shadows.

"Miss Gongsun, are you still awake at this late hour?"

The voice came from the front left. If Gongsun Jun raised his head, he could only see the vague outline of the person on the roof, but she knew who it was by hearing the voice. "Just finished taking a shower, come out to blow some air."

"It's windy outside, be careful of catching cold." The person on the roof said again.

"Then why don't you rest?"

"Zhan...is thinking about something." After a while of silence, Zhan Zhaofei came down from the roof and came to Gongsun Junruo in a few steps, "Can you talk to Zhan?"

Before she could respond, her waist tightened, the foreground blurred, and then the wind whistled in her ears. When she regained her composure, she was already sitting on the roof beside Zhan Zhao.

"Bringing you here without your consent, Zhan is really ashamed, but I really want to talk to someone."

Gongsun Junruo looked away, and said sullenly, "It's superfluous to shoot later."

Zhan Zhao was taken aback, and smiled embarrassedly.

"It's rare to see you need others. I thought you were strong enough to not need anyone."

"Miss Gongsun was joking. In the final analysis, Zhan is just an ordinary person. When he is in trouble, he needs help from others."

She turned to him with clear eyes, "It's just that what can I help Zhan Daxia?"

"This matter, Zhan feels that only you can help."

Gongsun Junruo turned his head, "Tell me, what's the matter."

Facing her side face, the night wind ruffled her hair, and she was clearly beside her, but it made him feel thousands of miles away.The cold expression, the cold voice, at that moment, he almost stopped there. "Princess...she showed me her heart."

"Doesn't Zhan Daxia like her?"

"Zhan, just treat her like a younger sister."

"Really," the corner of the mouth slightly raised, Gongsun Junruo turned his face, "But the princess may not think so, she is an introverted person, it takes a lot of courage to do this, you don't know Zhan Daxia. "

"Zhan has always thought that she likes Mrs. Bao, so he never thought about it, and Zhan has only brother and sister affection for her, nothing else, let alone love for her." Zhan Zhao hurriedly defended, his voice raised unconsciously, noticing his gaffe, he lowered his head, "Miss Gongsun, I'm sorry, Zhan was rude."

"These words, you should say to the princess."

"Indeed," he lowered his head even lower, "it's just that Zhan was shocked at the time, and the princess left as soon as he finished speaking."

"Hero Zhan, Jun Ruo has a question to ask you. When the princess was frustrated with Master Bao, you were the one who enlightened her all the time? Then, do you often take her to the roof to chat and watch the stars and the moon?"

Zhan Zhao nodded truthfully, "During that time, she was hurt and very sad, so I often took her to the roof to have a wind and chat with her."

"That's right, Zhan Daxia, your gentleness is one of your major characteristics, but at the same time it will cause you unnecessary troubles, maybe you should think about what things you can do with the person you like Not every girl can have it."

Zhan Zhao looked at her in confusion, "How...how do you say this? Zhan really doesn't understand, for example?"

"For example?" Gongsun Junruo turned his head to look at him in surprise, seeing his bewildered face, it seemed that he really couldn't distinguish the boundaries between men and women.

Zhan Zhao tilted his head, waiting for her answer.The wind blew past his ears, blowing the hair on his temples. Before he could reply, he was pushed down by a strong force, followed by a soft body.
