Chapter 73 Shen Xiao
Three dishes for dinner, a plate of pickled melon, a plate of fried radish, and a plate of scrambled eggs. They set up a table for several of their overnight guests. The staple food is steamed rice.

The family eats at a lower table on the other side of the main room.

To provide such dedicated service, it makes sense to charge for meals separately.

An Xu and Fang Bo sat on one side, and opposite was another guest and his entourage.

Because he was a stranger, the standard of eating without speaking was really met at the dinner table. An Xu found that the young man opposite was very conscious, but it might be more particular, he only served his side of the dishes.

"Mr. Shen, my sister-in-law made mushroom soup."

While eating, the girl came over with a khaki earthen basin, put it on the table, took the bowl in Mr. Shen's hand, and added soup to him.

"Girl, thank you, I'll do it myself."

An Xu glanced at it, and felt that the gentleness of Mr. Shen was engraved in his bones. It didn't mean to be cold-faced when he was suddenly deprived of his job while eating, and there was a helpless smile on his face.

The entourage hurriedly brought over the rice bowl and blocked it for his young master, "Ms. Duan, go and eat quickly, my young master will be taken care of by me."

At this time, the old lady of the Duan family on the table over there scolded: "Hongguo, come here, don't disturb the guests eating." Then she muttered in a low voice: "Don't look at his status, you won't be afraid of being disgusted if you move up."

Duan Hongguo stamped her feet aggrievedly, turned around and ran out.

An Xu glanced out, and there was still the sound of washing pots in the kitchen. The daughter-in-law of this family wouldn't come to eat after washing the pots, would she?It's really hard to be a daughter-in-law in ancient times.

Thinking about it, she unconsciously shook her head.

Mr. Shen said apologetically, "I'm bothering the girl."

An Xu hurriedly said, "Nothing."

With such a good-looking young man, even if he doesn't get close, he has the feeling of jade quality. She also wants to look more seductive. It's normal for a little girl to please and take care of her.

She was eating with her head down, but she didn't notice that Mr. Shen on the opposite side had never reached out to the rice bowl again.

An Xu was full after eating a bowl of rice, and there were about two bowls left in the rice bowl on the table. Fang Bo added another bowl, and noticed that the master's child was watching eagerly, so he didn't fill it all up.

At this time, Mrs. Duan, who had just sat at the dining table and ate half a steamed bun, saw that An Xu had stopped eating, so she quickly put down the chopsticks and steamed buns in her hand, and said, "Girl, if you finish eating, I'll take you to the room to see Look, there is also foot-washing water, which is also boiled, you can wash your feet first."

An Xu thanked him, and the rest of the Duan family at the dinner table had almost finished eating at this time, the old lady Duan was hugging her daughter and talking in a low voice, the eldest brother of the Duan family had already put down his chopsticks and went out, and the old man Duan was smoking slowly. Smoking the smoke, he asked Mr. Shen about studying and studying.

Sister-in-law Duan's busyness seemed to be a matter of course in their eyes.

An Xu frowned, the status of the ancient daughter-in-law was too low, she was simply an all-round nanny who had to sleep with her and give birth.

The Duan family lived in a small house on the east side of the house for An Xu. There was a bed, a table and a stool inside. It was not very nice but very tidy.

Sister-in-law Duan pointed to a wooden box on the window sill and said: "I used to live with a more sophisticated guest, this scented soap was left by them, so my parents-in-law let me put it here, and you can use this to wash your face later, it smells delicious. "

While talking, he helped An Xu tear off the quilt on the bed with his hands and feet.

An Xu smiled and nodded, "I'll fetch water by myself, sister-in-law, go eat quickly."

Because the other party was dressed in ordinary clothes, it seemed to be from a farmer's family similar to my own. Auntie Duan was not restrained in front of An Xu, and said with a smile: "Okay, the basin is behind the door."

When An Xu came out to fetch water, Mr. Shen also came out of the main room. After a while, Miss Duan followed, tail-like, to the kitchen. Seeing An Xu scooping hot water from the pot, he said enthusiastically, "Mr. Shen, you Do you want to wash your feet too? I'll fetch water for you."

Before he finished speaking, he ran over and took the ladle from An Xu's hand.

An Xu frowned slightly, but she had almost enough hot water, so she didn't say anything.

Mr. Shen, who wanted to hide in the kitchen, had already come outside the door at this time, An Xu came out and looked up, seeing the cold boredom in the other party's eyes that hadn't had time to retract, he couldn't help being taken aback.

This is a person who is hot on the outside and cold on the inside, and such people are generally more cruel.

An Xu nodded at him, and went to his room with water. The room arranged by Duan's family for Uncle Fang was right next door to her room. At this time, Uncle Fang had returned after eating.

"Uncle Fang, don't you wash your feet?"

"I don't need to wash anymore, I'll go to bed first," Fang Bo said to An Xu, "Don't sleep too hard, just call out if you have something to do."

"Okay, then you have a good rest."

An Xu brought hot water to the house. There was already a bucket of cold water in the house. She adjusted the temperature of the water, turned around and locked the door, and just sat down to take off her shoes and socks when Duan Hongguo's sharp voice came from outside.

"Young Master Shen is not impatient, what do you care?"

"I think you are too shameless."

This is the voice of an old man, panting, sounding very angry.

An Xu didn't hear Mr. Shen's persuasion, but it didn't matter what he heard.

Then when they heard that their master and servant were about to leave, the old man Duan stopped him a few words, saying that he was ashamed, and Duan Hongguo also pestered them to refuse to leave, and promised not to disturb Mr. Shen again.

She didn't know what to say again, only heard a crisp sound from outside, it seemed that Duan Hongguo had been slapped, she ran into the house crying, after the door slammed, the outside soon became quiet.

An Xu really wanted to see Mr. Shen's expression at this time. It seems that being too good-looking also has shortcomings, and there are rotten peach blossoms falling on his head anytime and anywhere.

After washing his feet and not going out to splash water, An Xu just took off his coat, pulled the quilt on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep.

After walking for a day, drowsiness came quickly, and after an unknown amount of time, An Xu was awakened by the movement from the window. She didn't speak for a moment, but quietly opened her eyes and looked at the window. He got on a smooth, arm-length stick that he had brought with him when he set off.

His eyes were always in the dark, and An Xu blinked his eyes a few times to get rid of the blur of just waking up. He was slightly relieved to see that the figure was only outside the window.

There is moonlight tonight, and it is quite bright. The silhouette hit the window, and An Xu immediately recognized the person outside the window as Mr. Shen.

Without him, no one in the peasant family has half-combed hair like him, and he is slender, with a straight back, and his standing posture alone can expose him.

A well-mannered young man, wouldn't he be a duplicity pervert, right?

An Xu saw clearly that the person was just outside the window, so he sat up slowly. After getting out of bed, he was about to walk towards the window with a stick in his hand when a sudden exclamation came from the yard.

"Master Shen, don't do this."

Isn't this Duan Hongguo's voice?

Before An Xu could react, the figure outside the window looked left and right, then opened the window and jumped in. Seeing the figure standing in the room, he was only slightly taken aback, and quickly reached out to cover her mouth.

"Don't talk, let me hide for a while," then remembered and said, "I've offended you."

When Duan Hongguo yelled, she opened her inner towel and threw herself on the bed, but she didn't hit the expected warm body, only a cold blanket, she panicked immediately, and shouted even louder: "Young Master Shen! ? Mr. Shen?"

The entourage came out of the room in a short time, and came to the room where the young master was temporarily staying. Seeing that the door was ajar, he pushed it open and went in, worried: "Young master?"

Duan Hongguo cried: "You came just in time, your son disappeared?"

The attendant lit the oil lamp in the room and asked, "Miss Duan, why are you here? Where is my young master?"

Duan Hongguo exclaimed again, curled up in the quilt, and said with embarrassment: "How do I know, the young master asked me to come to the meeting at midnight?"

The entourage said angrily: "Stop slandering my son's reputation, I think it's because you don't respect yourself and come running at night."

"Young man, pay attention to what you say." The Duan family members who were startled by the voice came out and rushed into the room here. Come on, don't let your son encounter any danger."

Here, An Xu took away the other party's hand that was tightly covering his mouth, and said, "They are all looking for you, why don't you take the opportunity to go out?"

Mr. Shen's face was cold, and a ray of moonlight hit the side of his face, as if it had cast a layer of frost on his whole body.

What do you say when you go out?The daughter of this family was interested in it, but now she appeared in the house where he lived, even if the shit didn't get on her, she couldn't tell.

He turned around and stood against the wall in the shadow, "Go to sleep, I'll be leaving in a while."

How can I sleep with someone like you sticking around?
An Xu's complaint seemed to be heard, and he added: "Don't worry, you girls from the country, I thank you for your kindness."

"What's the matter with the country girls? Don't kill a boatload of people with a single pole every time you see a case," An Xu retorted in a low voice, "You rich people, I am even more respectful."

Mr. Shen sneered slightly, full of irony, "You can see those rich businessmen in the eyes of peasant girls."

An Xu gripped the stick in his hand, if he wasn't afraid of being unclear, he really wanted to go up and give him a stick.

There was chaos outside for a while, the attendants of the Shen family shouted to find the young master, but the Duan family said that the horses in the backyard were still there, so the people must not have left, maybe they went out for a walk.

Old man Duan said: "Scholars love to look at the moonlight. Today's moonlight is very good. Let's go out and look for it."

The entourage blushed with anger, "If something happens to my young master, don't think about it for your family."

Duan Hongguo cried: "Young Master Shen clearly asked me to come over, why is he playing tricks on me?"

An Xu sat quietly on the bed, and almost laughed out loud when he heard the girl's words, and said to the black shadow standing by the wall: "Mr. Are you going to be given the reputation of being a prankster in the future?"

But Mr. Shen said: "If we leave today, there will be no chance to meet again. If they don't want their own daughter's reputation, they can make it up."

Only when he is in front of him will he be relied upon. He finally understands that when facing these women in the countryside, he is like a scholar meeting a soldier.

Don't try to tell right from wrong with them, just don't get caught up in right and wrong.

After about a few minutes, the outside became quiet, and everyone should have gone out to look for Mr. Shen.

Mr. Shen was about to leave through the window, when there was a sound of footsteps, the door was slammed, Fang Bo said from outside: "Da Ni, are you awake?"

An Xu agreed, and Fang Bo said: "Clean up when you wake up, and we will leave at dawn."

"it is good."

An Xu was also tired, and he didn't expect to borrow a night to live in peace.

After Fang Bo left, Mr. Shen opened the window and left, and at the same time threw down a sentence: "I offended you tonight, I'm going to Shen Xiao, and I owe you a favor."

Then Mr. Shen left just like that, and An Xu didn't know where he went. Anyway, when the sun was about to dawn, the servants of the Shen family came back with a sad face.

He suspected that this family had murdered his son and wanted to report to the officials. An Xu felt that the Shen family's entourage was loyal, but he was a bit stupid.

After such a commotion, the innocence that his young master had managed to keep was flawed again.

The Duan family quickly said good things, but they didn't care about An Xu and Fang Bo.

They harnessed the carriage by themselves, and told the owner that they were about to go out. At this moment, Mr. Shen came back from the outside with a cold body. At this time, there were already early risers on the village road outside.

Just now I saw Duan's family looking for someone back and forth, and an old man who picked up dung came over and reminded, "This is not Mr. Shen. I just went to Gouwa to collect dung, and I saw him lying on that branch."

"My lord," the attendant hurried forward to help him, "Where have you been?"

Shen Xiao was still holding a jug in his hand, and said: "Last night, the moonlight was bright and lovely. I read Ou Gong's poetry anthology, so I went out for a walk. I didn't want to drink a few sips of wine to drive away the cold, but fell asleep instead. What, this What's the matter?"

"It's okay, it's okay," the Duan family said quickly.

If it was midnight and there were no villagers around, and Mrs. Duan wanted to make a fuss, she might be able to make this young man responsible for his daughter.

Their house is also far away from the nearest house in the village. As long as they are not howling at the top of their voices, the people in the village cannot hear them, so it will not affect their daughter's reputation.

Now that the villagers are all up, if they continue to make trouble, they will only lose face.

Maybe the old man Duan who didn't let his daughter take advantage of Mr. Shen's idea also understood this and didn't say anything.

 You don't want to change the hero, but you will abuse him.

  In addition, there are several monthly tickets for this book, thank you for your support, cute.
