Forever, beauty bone

Chapter 11 The Old Song of the Dust Year (2)
Because the sunlight was too strong, the curtains could only be drawn to darken the room.

Afraid of disturbing him to rest, he put on his earphones and stared at the subtitles carefully, engrossed.

Episode after episode, I completely forgot the time.

Suddenly the sofa beside her sank, she suddenly turned her head and saw him sitting down.Her hair was still wet, and she had obviously showered after waking up.Light blue fleece trousers, white shirt, as clean as a student who hasn't left school yet.

"Why did you wake up?" Shi Yi took off his earphones.

"I'm not used to sleeping for a long time." He watched the silent picture on the TV, "Have you been watching TV?"

She nodded and went to test the temperature of his forehead.

Fortunately, the fever subsided.

"You don't have a family doctor? Why don't you take medicine when you have a fever?"

"Yes, but this kind of low-grade fever, I usually recover by myself."

She said oh, hanging the earphones around her neck, looking at his slightly wet hair: "If you're not in a hurry to go out, just sit for a while longer."

"There is no rush. I will be free to accompany you this week." He relaxed his body and leaned on the sofa. "Maybe I was busy before, and I will be even busier after the engagement."

She hummed and looked at him.

"Have something to say?" He smiled knowingly, his voice was tired and slightly soft.

"No serious words." She also leaned sideways on the sofa, facing him, "I was just suddenly curious, why did you do scientific research, did you choose it just because you wanted to do something else?"

"Doing something can benefit others." He was seriously thinking about how to answer the timely question, "and scientific research may help more people."

She hummed.

"There are not many people like this in my family, but there are still a few. For example, my sister," he said, "she was born with a heart that was born with insufficient blood supply. Some things, save a few more people."

When he talked about his sister's voice, there was a warm feeling.

She always wears glasses when looking at things at home.And now, Zhou Shengchen, who was sitting in front of him, was also wearing glasses.

The eyes of the two people, through the thin lenses, looked at each other from time to time.

She leaned on the sofa and chatted slowly with him.Just like this, I already feel enjoyment.

From here, one can see the glass wall between the living and dining rooms.On the glass, she and Zhou Shengchen were reflected.

The outline is clear, but the face is blurred.

She remembered the first meeting in her previous life.She was on the tower, holding on to the city wall, and with some effort, she was able to see him in the distance in the light of dawn, but her face was so blurred, only the back was visible.At that time, someone around me said, Eleven, he is your future master.She nodded slightly, before she secretly came to see him, she had already heard the name: Zhou Shengchen.It sounds elegant and noble, as if he has read poetry and books.

As you can see, it is completely different.

What she thought of was the gentleman holding the scroll.

But what she saw was Xiao Nanchen Wang who was golden and iron horse.

that day.

The long night breaks dawn, and the three armies come out together.The wolf smoke is the scene, and the yellow sand hits the sky.

He stood on a high platform, overlooking the army, and with a wave of his plain hand, 70 soldiers knelt down in front of him.This is the real Zhou Shengchen, Xiao Nanchen King with thousands of retainers and 70 troops in his hand.

Is it the color that imparts the soul?Still infatuated?

At the age of six or seven, she didn't understand this, but was shocked by what she saw.His hands clasped the blue bricks of the city wall tightly, his heart beating like a beating.

In the past, she and him were separated by the title of master and apprentice, and the marriage contract she had long ago.From the age of seven to 17, he taught piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and life, and even every book and every line of poetry.From ignorance and ignorance to deep blood.

Color imparts soul.

It took her ten years to understand these four words.

"Tired?" Zhou Shengchen asked her suddenly.

Shi Yi shook her head: "I thought of something." Afraid he would ask, she quickly said, "About work."

Since she knew that he had no work or family arrangements, she deliberately said that she worked too late the night before and was a little tired.The two stayed at home all day, and there were many things to pass the time, but he chose Go.His chess gestures are very beautiful and very familiar.

Sometimes Shi Yi would take a sneak peek at how he played chess by considering the chess game.

She thought that he would notice something, but just let her do it.

He takes her to their house.

There is a small courtyard and a small three-story building.The interior decoration is like a piece of plain paper, the colors are not strong, but it has a calming atmosphere. When she walked in, she unconsciously lowered her voice to speak.She suddenly thought, if it wasn't her, but someone else was his fiancée, would everything feel very inconsistent?A sense of incongruity of the age.

But she was the only one who never felt uncomfortable.

As someone who is about to be engaged to him, she should be involved in everything.Zhou Shengchen didn't think he was qualified to judge everything, even the colored woodcut watermarks required for the invitations had to be shown to her personally, and asked if she had a preferred font.When they said this, it was between his conversations with his staff.

On the dark brown tabletop, woodcut watermarks are lined up, and next to each block, there is a piece of rice paper cut into long strips.

It was he who had her name engraved and then printed on the paper. In fact, she recognized every word in it, and even every story behind it.She asked him: "Usually, what do you like to use?" "The older generation admires the Tang style and likes Zhou Zheng's regular script. The specific script depends on personal preference."

She nodded, among the four schools of regular script, only Zhao Mengfu was from the Yuan Dynasty.As a matter of course, she excluded that word.

Then, he picked out the characters of the other three schools very accurately and placed them in front of the two of them.

But he didn't notice that there was a little surprise in Zhou Shengchen's eyes.He didn't expect Shi Yi to be so accurate.

"I like Yan Zhenqing's handwriting very much, but if he died in vain, would it be unlucky?" She was inexplicably superstitious, "Liu Gongquan's handwriting is too strict, might it not be suitable for an engagement invitation?" She murmured softly , a little hesitant, and then felt that he was too much.It's just the font of the invitation card, so why be so serious.

Zhou Shengchen didn't realize what was going on, and took away the only note that she didn't reject, "Strong-boned, yet coquettish, Ouyang Xun's handwriting is very good." After speaking, he called someone and took the rice paper away.

He raised his wrist to look at the time, and then told her that there would be a lot of arrangements that were not suitable for him to participate in.

She was a little strange at first, but when she saw his back disappear into the study, she found a familiar face outside the door, tilting her head and smiling, it was the girl who measured her figure that night.

Shi Yi suddenly understood what it meant to be "not suitable for him to participate".

That night in the girl's old house, there were only the four of them, grandparents and grandchildren, and a mother-in-law serving tea and water.She just felt that there was nothing special except for the environment in the deep house.But at this moment, when she saw that girl walking in, followed by a dozen well-dressed middle-aged women, she already felt what Zhou Shengchen meant by "family".

In the hands of those middle-aged women, some were carrying clothes covered by dark red cloth, while others were holding long wooden boxes.

She looked over, unable to guess what would be in the box.

After the girl greeted her, she motioned for someone to open the box, and after a while, there was a dark red shelf for hanging clothes.

It turned out that when I came to deliver the clothes, I even had to bring the hanging wooden frame.

She was stunned.

But the girl saw her expression, and felt that this move was very troublesome: "Mother-in-law said, you have to behave yourself in everything about the eldest son of Zhou Sheng's family." Seeing her surprise, the girl couldn't help sighing, "No The way, Miss Shi Yi, who told you to marry Zhou Sheng, and there is only one Zhou Sheng in each generation."

Someone removed the covering cloth and hung up a dozen long skirts.

Shi Yi let out a sigh of relief when he saw it: "It's so beautiful."

"Do you like it? Do you really like it?" The girl laughed, "Then I'll tell you again, it's just an engagement now. My grandma is not in good health recently, so it's all made by our three brothers and sisters. If it's a big wedding, the mother-in-law I will definitely do it myself, not only looks good." When she said that, she was also looking forward to it.

Shi Yi sighed and said thank you.

Someone hangs the curtain.

Shi Yi cooperated with her, trying on dresses one by one, and finally remembered that he never asked the girl's name.

"My name is Wang Man." Wang Man carefully looked at the clothes on her body, pouted her mouth, and motioned her to look in the mirror. "No wonder my mother-in-law said that the young master treats you very well. You are the only one in their family. You don't have to." A girl who wears a cheongsam in public."

"Do I have to wear a cheongsam?" She wondered.

But thinking about it carefully, the first time I met his mother, and later when I met his cousin and a brother-in-law at Jinshan Temple for dinner, it seemed that they were all cheongsams.No matter what kind of clothing material or style, it cannot escape the shackles of the old-fashioned cheongsam.

"I just heard from my mother-in-law that the Zhongding family has many rules, so making clothes for their family is also very boring."

Looking at the cuffs of the dress, Wang Man seemed to be thinking about subtracting those decorations.

Beauty does not need too much decoration, minimalism is the best choice.

In the end, Shi Yi finally picked out a dress, which rarely showed half of her calves, but the sleeves were already as long as her forearms.

The most important thing is that this looks very much like a cheongsam...

Seeing what she meant, Wang Man couldn't help laughing, and asked someone to remove the screen. Just now when she wanted Zhou Shengchen to see it, she heard her cell phone ringing.Shi Yi picked up the phone from the table, walked to the glass to answer the call, and just after the call was connected, he heard a man's voice and coughed lightly.

She turned her head and saw a man and a woman standing at the door.

Unfamiliar faces.

This is not surprising, after being with him, she always saw strange faces.What was really strange was Wang Man's stunned expression, and his eyes fell on the young man.Shi Yi followed her gaze and looked over. This man was wearing light-colored trousers, a green plaid shirt and a black suit.

Because of the advantage of height, Green's frivolity was suppressed.

On the contrary, it is romantic and casual.

The young man nodded lightly to Wang Man, and shifted his gaze to Shi Yi: "I guess, this amazingly beautiful lady must be my brother's fiancee, right?"

Shi Yi was a little surprised, but still nodded, and replied, "Hi, I'm Shi Yi."

"Hello," the young man came over, stretched out his arms, and gave her a very warm hug when she was about to shake hands just now, "I'm Zhou Wenchuan, and Zhou Shengchen is my brother."

This man can't speak Chinese well.

It's not like Zhou Shengchen at all.

But Shi Yi still recognized him, he had their mother's eyes, slanted eyes.

It turns out that this is what he mentioned, one of the twins.Zhou Wenchuan.

When the two separated, Zhou Wenchuan waved to his female companion and told her: "This is my wife, Tong Jiaren." Tong Jiaren walked towards her, but Zhou Wenchuan's enthusiasm was not as good as Zhou Wenchuan's. He simply shook hands with her, Let go.

Some indifferent people even have slight hostility.

Shi Yi didn't understand why the atmosphere in the room was so weird.

Just when she was hesitating about her capacity to entertain them, the door of the small meeting room was suddenly opened from the inside, as if he also heard the voice from outside.The men sitting or standing inside were all in black suits, as if they were negotiating life and death.Zhou Shengchen walked out and asked someone to close the door.

He was naked, his shirt was unbuttoned at the collar, and he held his glasses in his right hand.He raised his eyes slightly, saw a few people in the study, and his eyes naturally fell on Shi Yi: "It's very beautiful."

Shi Yi smiled, before he had time to speak in the future, Wang Man had already let out a long breath: "Just look good."

She seemed unwilling to stay for a long time, and quickly asked her family to tidy up everything.

When he was leaving, Zhou Shengchen suddenly asked Wang Man to stay and have dinner together: "You and Wen Chuan have known each other since we were young, so we haven't seen each other for many years?" Wang Man glanced at Zhou Wenchuan: "About three or four years ago .”

"Really?" Zhou Wenchuan thought for a while, "Almost."

Take it in one stroke, and there is no need to repeat it.

Dinner was eaten at home, and after the meal a few people sat in the courtyard chatting, Shi Yi unexpectedly heard that Tong Jiaren and Zhou Shengchen had been alumni.There is not much age difference between the two, but when Tong Jiaren entered the school, he had already received a doctorate.

"According to the IQ test standard of the 'Stanford-Binet Scale', my brother is a genius with a standard score of 190," Zhou Wenchuan laughed, putting his left leg on his right leg. "I received an invitation to study at the age of 12. Entered university at the age of 14 and got a Ph.D. in chemical engineering."

Wang Man chuckled softly: "You brag about your brother, you've already heard people's ears go numb."

Zhou Wenchuan shook his head and smiled.

Wang Man continued: "In the Guinness Book of World Records, the smartest person in the world is not the young master. He can speak four languages ​​at the age of 2, attend university courses at the age of 4, and obtain a Ph.D. in physics at the age of 15."

Zhou Wenchuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Little girl, you have always been against me."

Shi Yi couldn't help laughing.

But the person at the center of the topic around him didn't seem too involved.Shi Yi looked at him from the corner of his eye, wondering if he was thinking about those research projects in Xi'an, or was he thinking about family matters?It seems so, and quite interesting.He can calm down and stay by his side, allowing himself to look at him from time to time, guessing his thoughts wildly.

Shi Yi's thoughts came back.

But unexpectedly, she saw Tong Jiaren skillfully avert her gaze.

In the direction she looked, only Shi Yi and Zhou Shengchen were sitting.

I don't know if it's her or him.

The two people who were arguing about IQ have already moved the topic to moxibustion. Wang Man was talking about how she came back from London and got rid of the eating habits that make her fat easily. In the house, I do aerobics until midnight every day, and I do yoga in the morning, and I don’t eat a lot of staple food. Unexpectedly, it still doesn’t work.”

When girls talk about losing weight, that's it.

Regardless of whether you are a descendant of an aristocratic family or not, whether you have a pair of hands that can sew heavenly clothes, you have to worry about obesity.

Zhou Wenchuan just smiled: "Be careful that your mother-in-law has a heart attack." He looked at the newlywed wife next to him, "Beauty, I remember you taught your cousin that there are moxibustion and rubbing methods?"

Tong Jiaren was a little distracted, as if she didn't hear it.

Zhou Wenchuan gently patted her arm with his hand, and said with a half smile, "What are you thinking?"

"Ah? It's nothing." Tong Jiaren looked at him suspiciously, "What did you say?"

"I said, do you have any moxibustion and massage methods to lose weight?"

"It's not about losing weight, it's about promoting metabolism." Tong Jiaren put her fingers on the front midline of her abdomen, 3 inches below the navel. "This is the Guanyuan point. Frequent moxibustion and massage can promote water retention and promote kidney function." , to promote the health of the internal organs. Usually when the metabolism is good, the body will not have too much garbage and fat, and will not be obese. In terms of function, this is the healthiest way to lose weight." Tong Jiaren said The words are very kind, but there is a sense of alienation.

"Do you remember?" Zhou Wenchuan looked at Wang Man.

Wang Man felt slightly unhappy, and didn't say thank you, nor did she answer Zhou Wenchuan.

It was embarrassing for a while.

Now that Shi Yi has been watching from the sidelines, he feels more and more that the relationship between them is very delicate.

She smiled, and suddenly said: "Also, Wang Man, you remember. Moxibustion on this point is easy to get angry. Remember to drink a cup of warm water before and after moxibustion, or cooperate with moxibustion on the soles of the feet to catch fire."

She just wanted to dissipate the embarrassment.

Instead, it aroused Zhou Shengchen's curiosity: "Do you know acupuncture points?"

She hummed: "A little bit."

Much of what she knew was just scratching the surface.

But because it was taught by him in the past, she kept it in mind repeatedly and never forgot it.

Including calligraphy, including moxibustion acupoints.

The guests left one after another, and she and he were still sitting in the courtyard.

A few people who discussed with him in the afternoon came with a stack of documents to show Zhou Shengchen.Shi Yi avoided his eyes very wisely, and went to look at the various koi in the pond.Suddenly, a golden koi jumped out of the water, and fell back with a snap.

The clear and shallow sound of water highlights the comfort of this night.

He took the pen and signed on the lower right foot of the page. After the men left, he gently rubbed the center of his brows with two fingers and put on his glasses.

Then he turned his head to look at her.

Shi Yi's side profile is beautiful, and the moonlight is reflected in his eyes. Because he wants to avoid his official business, he concentrates on looking at the pond and the rockery beside the pond.Without the slightest impatience, he remembered that there is a word used to describe a beauty.

The most beautiful people are all expensive because they are not aware of their beauty.

When he first met her, he suspected that she was arranged by someone to approach him by relying on her outstanding appearance.But now she has really admitted that she is really simple and wants to know herself.

Very pure purpose.

In the moonlight, she looked at the koi, but he looked at her.

It is natural to think of a sentence:

The eyebrows are long and graceful, and the eyes are slender, the color is the soul, and the heart is happy.
