Forever, beauty bone

Chapter 16 Eighteen Sons Rosary (2)
Disputes soon came from downstairs, some loud and some small.The wording is very strong, but the attitude is restrained.

The old-fashioned small building is not very soundproof, she can probably hear that he is being scolded by his mother, and his uncle's tone is also very serious.Soon there was the sound of a woman sobbing. She thought about it, and the only younger woman was Tong Jiaren, but why was she crying?
Lian Sui handed her a warm wet towel.

She took it and saw that Lian Sui was also distracted listening to the voice downstairs, and suddenly remembered what she said that day.Could it be that Tang Xiaofu's premature birth was due to Tong Jiaren?The prosecutor said just now that she was involved in the murder case.

So many guesses.

The four family doctors looked flat, as if they didn't know anything.

One of the Western doctors treated the wound well, and the other three still refused to neglect, repeating the examination one by one.A small knee wound was regarded by them as more serious than a murder.

Suddenly there was the sound of porcelain shattering.

Downstairs was quiet for a while, and the dispute gradually turned into his uncle's speech, the content was a bit vague, she tried to listen for a while, but the general idea was that such a large-scale capital injection against the market would last for 30 to [-] years. Breaking the house rules.And the accidental death of Tang Xiaofu this time has already aroused Tang's dissatisfaction, so he exposed this matter to the sun and refused to keep it private.

"Zhou Sheng has hid himself from the world for hundreds of years, so he cannot be destroyed in your hands."

She heard this sentence clearly.

The heartbeat was so fast that it even hurt a little.

She didn't know his family rules.

But vaguely from his words, he guessed that this is a family where family rules are more important than people.Otherwise, he wouldn't get engaged to himself right away just because he wanted to do something.But now the trivial matter that delayed the marriage has turned into a murder case. Although she understands that diplomatic immunity will allow him to avoid criminal prosecution, she cannot avoid the consequences of being deported.

Zhou Shengchen.

What exactly are you trying to do?

"Miss Shi Yi looks a bit tired, do you want to rest for a while?" Lian Sui asked her softly.

She nodded, feeling that she needed to be quiet for a while.

Downstairs gradually returned to quietness. Quietly, there was a wind blowing in through the window, with a humid and stuffy feeling, as if it was going to rain.She thought of Tang Xiaofu's face, and even her softly compromised words, and her bad feeling about living in the gloomy old house.

Soon someone came in and closed the window.

She was on her side, curled up in the recliner, and opened her eyes.

In order to face her face to face, Zhou Shengchen sat on the edge of the glass low table. Fortunately, the old mahogany base could support a tall man like him.

"I've never asked you, is the dubbing interesting?" He asked, and it turned out to be such a topic.

She laughed: "It's very fun, but it needs to be very imaginative. For example, the sound engineer often asks, 'Mr. Shi Yi, you have to think about yourself walking in the pouring rain, losing love, and want to cry without tears'," she recalled. He said in a low voice, "At that time, I was very helpless. When you watched them perform, you could still play against each other. I could only face the manuscript and the microphone, purely imagining how I wanted to cry but had no tears."

Shi Yi cited various examples.

Zhou Shengchen listened carefully.

Gradually, there was the sound of rain. She could imagine that there should be lightning and thunder outside, but unfortunately she couldn't see it. When he closed the window just now, he also closed the curtains at the same time.

She picked up the teacup, took a sip to moisten her throat, and then heard him ask: "Will you get used to being with me?"

"There will be some." She also poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him, "I will feel that there are many things that I don't understand, and I am afraid that something will happen suddenly, and I will not know what to do." Zhou Shengchen took a sip and thought Think: "Are you afraid?"

She smiled and didn't answer the question.

In the cycle of life and death, she doesn't even think death is mysterious, so what would she be afraid of?

Seriously, she was afraid that she would never see him again.

"You said," she turned to him, "you changed my nationality."

Zhou Shengchen nodded: "I'm sorry, I didn't discuss it with you first."

"It doesn't matter." She thought, there is always a necessary reason.

"As for your parents and family members, I also hope to do this for them, but after all, they are elders," he pondered slightly, "What do you think?" She looked at him: "It is very necessary?"

"in case."

She thought for a moment. "Wait until you think of a good reason. If you're doing it to... well, get around the law, they might..." She hesitated, not knowing how to phrase it.

Zhou Shengchen smiled dumbly: "I did do it to avoid some things, but," he glanced at her slightly, "Shi Yi, I won't do anything bad."

"I know."

"you know?"

"I mean, I trust you."

"Even if you face so many accusations tonight, you still believe me?"

There are so many accusations tonight, it is completely unimaginable for ordinary people.

She looked at his hand silently, the flesh and bone were well-proportioned, and the palm was much bigger than hers.Men's bones are always thicker and longer than women's.At first, she thought, these hands are different from hers, and the hands of scientists must be the same as the brain, with a different structure from that of ordinary people.Tonight, I found that not only this is different, but also the power held by these two hands is difficult to understand.

He can switch identities at will, which is hard to figure out.In the face of so many horrific accusations, all of them stand up.

She was very afraid that when she woke up one day, Zhou Shengchen would disappear without a trace.

He looked at her slender hand, put it on the back of his hand, and gently grasped himself.

There was a strange emotion quietly flowing between the two of them.

He raised his eyes to her.

Shi Yi looked back at him, and softly gave his answer: "As long as you let me be with you, I will believe you unconditionally."

She was afraid that he would leave her suddenly.

So for the first time, she's actually saying what she really thinks.

With some trepidation, tell him how important he is to you.

The more I don't know the real background of this family, the more scared I am, as if I have been pushed to the edge of the whirlpool.

No one knows better than her how easy it is to break the fate between one person and another. Maybe a turn at a crosswalk can separate people forever... She even wonders if she will let go of her hand, I am the next Tang Xiaofu in this old house. After all, she is also a new visitor to this family, and she is so out of place.

And obviously, even his mother was hostile to him.

Shi Yi clutched his hand and refused to let go.

"Shi Yi," he was a little moved, and with his right hand, he patted the hand she was holding onto him, "You... have always been a surprise to me. I always seem to be unable to grasp it well. I don't know how to get along with you. How to answer your question," he pondered for a while, his voice lowered a little, "thank you, trust me."

A very formal answer that could have been written as a standard thank you email.

She withdrew her hand and continued to lean back on the recliner, with a feeling of indisputable anger. She laughed in a low voice, and complained in the words that have been used in movies and TV dramas: "Really... I originally set my heart on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch." .”

Her voice is really nice.

He laughed: "It's wrong, there is no ditch. You are my legal wife now."

If he didn't say it, she really omitted this sentence.

She groaned, her legs curled up, her face pressed against the rattan chair, her heart that had just fallen rose up again.The rattan chair was covered with soft white fox fur, similar to the chair he used to like to sit on. She remembered that she always liked to climb up quietly, leaning against him while he was reading and writing, or even when he was yelling at his subordinates outside the bead curtain. Listen quietly from above.

His voice used to be very nice.

She had rehearsed thousands of times in her mind, how to imitate the tone of his speech, from the beginning to the end. At that time, she thought that as long as she could speak, Zhou Shengchen would be the first to speak.

"Zhou Shengchen." She called him.

"Ok?"

"Zhou Shengchen." She called him in a different voice.

"Yeah." He saw her intention.

"Zhou Shengchen." She insisted on calling again.

"Yeah." He cooperated with her little thoughts.

I feel so happy that I am going crazy with joy.Rubbing the fur of the fox with her face, she narrowed her eyes to look at him, at the man who was already her legal husband.He is wearing a light blue shirt tonight, solid color, cuff buttons are dark blue, and silver-gray trousers, a very comfortable color.It used to match the color of her stockings very well, but now she can only have two bare legs, and her knees are wrapped in white gauze.

"It's May 5th," he told her.

"What is it?" She wondered.

"For the wedding anniversary in the future, I will take the homonym of your name, which is easy to remember."

She was a little dazed, feeling so unreal: "Easy to remember? Could it be that you can't remember?"

"No, I'm very sensitive to numbers, and besides," he paused for a while, then smiled lightly, "There are always a few important dates that must be remembered."

All she remembered was how happy she was that night.

When I think about it later, I only remember being happy, and I don’t even have extra gorgeous words.Combining the memories of her two lifetimes, there were not many happy days, especially the one that was riding a horse in Chang'an City, and the night he said that she was his legal wife.

Shi Yi remembered that when he talked to him later, he was not very logical and couldn't help laughing.Outside the window was lightning and thunder, and it was pouring rain, but the room was warm and harmonious.After he finally said good night to her and left, she noticed a very old wooden box with a rosewood dragon under the fox fur of the reclining chair.

Open it carefully, and there are two rings side by side.

An emerald ring, and a very simple yellow diamond ring.She thought, this should be what he had already prepared.

There is a piece of paper pinned to the lid of the box.

His handwriting, simply read: Emerald is an engagement ring, respecting family tradition.The yellow diamond is a wedding ring, which is convenient to wear at ordinary times, I hope you like it.

In the end, he wrote four words flamboyantly: happy wedding.

Well, giving a ring in this way, and wishing his legal wife a happy newlywed man, perhaps he is the only one in this world who can do it.She held the box, thought for a long time, and put on the yellow diamond ring by herself.

For this kind of man who can calmly transfer materials and continue to work in other laboratories after the laboratory explodes in front of her, she thinks that she really can't have too many demands.

Only May 5, such a date selection, is enough.

May 5, 11, my time.

At five o'clock in the morning, she heard the sound of him leaving, ran to open the door, and asked if he wanted to accompany her to have breakfast.He stood at the stairs, was silent for a while, and told her that today was not a good time.Shi Yi understood what he meant, but blamed himself for being dazzled by the good mood, and forgot that now is an eventful time.

Sensing her loss, Zhou Shengchen walked back from the stairs: "Don't think too much, I'm just afraid that you will be too embarrassed," he said in a low voice, "Because I will encounter some embarrassing things this morning."

"I know, I know," she reiterated her understanding, "I'll wait for you to come back here, if you don't have an appetite there, come back here, and I'll have breakfast with you."

He nodded: "OK."

After he left, Shi Yi reflected on her performance just now, she looked like a little daughter-in-law... She was a little embarrassed, but also a little worried. She didn't watch the fierce quarrel last night, but listened to it.Just by listening like this, one can already guess what the "embarrassment" he just said will be like.

She was in the room, sometimes sitting, sometimes standing up.

The sky went from being dark at five o'clock to being bright at the beginning of the sun, and it took an hour before I knew it.Lian Sui asked three times in a row if she wanted to prepare breakfast, but she said to wait.Unexpectedly, a message from his mother came, asking her to accompany him to pilgrimage.

When Lian Sui said it, she couldn't believe it.

But soon realized that his current identity had changed.

She wanted to ask Lian Sui what kind of clothes the eldest lady prefers, but when she was about to speak, she barely stopped.Zhou Shengchen reminded her, she remembered very clearly: this house has 68 large and small courtyards, 1118 houses, many people, and very miscellaneous.

She empathizes, not because of any film and television drama, but because of her real experience.

What happened yesterday was not difficult to understand, and he was also trapped in such a complicated whirlpool, struggling every step of the way.So here, except for him, Shi Yi told himself to be more careful with everyone.

Her legs were wounded and wrapped in gauze, so she couldn't wear skirts or tight-fitting pants.

The clothes I brought, I can wear sportswear.

Thinking of his family rules, she still gritted her teeth and put on the cheongsam. She removed several layers of gauze and barely put on opaque black stockings.It's quite appropriate, but the high heels can't be worn, which is a bit weird.

Because the gauze had to be removed and the silk stockings put on carefully, some time was wasted.

When she got outside the gate of the mansion, there were already car doors closing one after another, but no car started.Zhou Shengchen was standing far away beside the second car, waiting for her. When he saw her outfit, he was momentarily stunned.

"Sister," the passenger seat of the first car was pushed away, and Zhou Shengren, who was wearing black suspenders and trousers, poked his head out, "My mother asked you to ride with us in the same car." Shi Yi just took two steps before stopping ,To see him.

Zhou Shengchen remained calm and nodded slightly.

She was apprehensive, and walked to the car as fast as she could. Zhou Shengren jumped out of the car and opened the door for her.The moment she opened it, she saw his mother sitting alone in the back seat, wearing a cheongsam with dark patterns and a dark purple shawl, her makeup was meticulous, and her smile was very restrained: "Miss Shi Yi, please get in the car."

Distant appellation.

Doesn't his mother know that Zhou Shengchen is legally married to him?Or... are you really refusing to admit it?She became more and more anxious, and from the corner of her eye, she glanced at Zhou Shengchen who was still standing beside the car, and sat in.

The convoy left quickly, and she sat side by side with his mother, surprisingly quiet.After driving for a while, it was his teenage brother who turned his head from the front row and looked over: "Sister Shi Yi, I have never had a chance to tell you that you are beautiful."

She smiled: "Thank you."

Zhou Shengren also smiled.

She could feel that this boy who didn't seem to talk much was trying to ease the almost frozen atmosphere in the car.Perhaps because the short conversation between the two of them really worked, his mother finally shook her head lightly and said with a smile, "Xiao Ren, you can't just judge people by their faces. I told you,'Mai Manhao Teeth, Zheng Weizhi's voice , for your own pleasure, life is called the ax that cuts down on nature', remember?"

She was startled.

Zhou Shengren quietly gave Shi Yi a comforting look, but he answered his mother in a serious manner: "I remember. My mother said, this sentence means that beautiful women and vulgar songs can disturb people's hearts, so don't indulge in them."

The little boy sat at an angle just enough to make eye contact with her.

Shi Yi quietly raised an arc from the corner of his mouth, thanking Zhou Shengren for his kindness.

Since then, nothing has been said.

She was sitting upright, thinking, maybe his mother was really angry, after all, Zhou Shengchen didn't marry a wife according to the family's arrangement.Maybe it's like the mother-in-law of a wealthy family who always wants to show off her future daughter-in-law.She quietly comforted herself, fortunately it was such a family, no matter how weird his mother's personality was, she had all the manners she should have, and she would never embarrass her face to face.

After maintaining a sitting position for a long time, her knees ached a little.

Thinking of holding on for a while, and holding on for a while, it lasted for another twenty minutes.In the end, I couldn't bear it any longer, and moved my legs lightly. When I saw the scenery of mountains, forests and ancient temples outside the window, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.When the car stopped, Zhou Shengren jumped out first and opened the car door for his mother.

"Miss Shi Yi," his mother said when the car door opened, "the Zhou Sheng family will not recognize your legal husband and wife relationship. I hope you can carefully consider whether you insist on staying with my son."

Unexpectedly, the person beside her had already got out of the car and left.
