Chapter 644: Cuscuta Cousin 8
It was almost afternoon.
Sheng Huan was sitting on the couch looking drowsy, but in fact he was listening to the news from Song Yuwan that Pu Hua had brought him.
Pu Hua said: Ji Yunxiu was asking Song Yuwan something tentatively again.
Sheng Huan probably understood. Perhaps Ji Yunxiu's path to power was related to the information revealed in Song Yuwan's comments.
After all, sometimes, a little information leakage can be a fatal blow, not to mention if it is military information...
While I was thinking, someone came from Jinxiu Ju.
Shao Yue entered the room and bowed: "Cousin, our daughter is eating hotpot today. She said you like it too, and it will be more lively if two people eat together. I asked the maid to invite you to come over and eat with her."
Sheng Huan looked at Shao Yue hesitantly: "Auntie let...cousin eat the pot?"
Because she was going to enter the palace, Madam Fu didn't allow Fu Shirui to use any irritating things.
Shao Yue paused, almost scratching her head, and finally managed only a few words: "Our girl said that it's okay to have a meal."
After all, the girl ordered the pot, and the lady didn't say anything, so it should be... allowed, Shaoyue thought.
Sheng Huan laughed secretly when he heard this: "Okay, I'll change my clothes and go over."
In his own room, Sheng Huan wore light clothes, but if he went out, this kind of clothes would be a bit impolite.
After changing her clothes, she walked towards Jinxiu Residence.
After walking a few steps, I saw from a distance a handsome man in red clothes who looked gentle and high-spirited.
"cousin."
"Third cousin." Sheng Huan stepped back slightly.
The man in front of him was none other than the eldest son of the second house, the current number one scholar - Fu Jingzhou.
"Cousin, are you going to Jinxiu Residence?" Fu Jingzhou guessed it easily by looking at the direction Sheng Huan was heading.
Sheng Huan nodded: "My cousin said she wanted to eat pot."
"No wonder." Fu Jingzhou raised the oil paper bag in his hand and bowed mischievously: "This is what your cousin asked me to bring to her. Since your cousin is going there, please help me."
It can almost be said that Fu Jingzhou watched the original owner grow up and treated her as his own sister.
Sheng Huan just stretched out her hand, her white jade fingers seemed to have some fragrance in the breeze, she raised her little face very seriously:
"Don't worry, third cousin. I will definitely deliver it to my cousin."
Fu Jingzhou smiled gently.
Sheng Huan's lips curled up slightly, and he seemed a little shy.
Both of them have excellent looks, and from a distance they look as beautiful as a painting.
At this time, in the distance, a man in a black brocade robe witnessed this scene. He pressed his finger bones lightly, walked away without any expression.
-
Splendid Residence.
When Sheng Huan arrived, the pot was still being prepared.
When Fu Shirui saw her, she really wanted to talk to her.
After all, there are only two girls in the entire Duke's Mansion.
"Cousin, you're finally here. I have something to tell you." She held Sheng Huan's hand. Although she looked dignified on the surface, she actually started to mutter: "How tiring it is to practice today's rules."
"I've learned all of this before, but I didn't expect that my aunt and mother would watch me walk through it all today."
Sheng Huan listened to her for a long time without interrupting her. Seeing that she was thirsty, he handed her a cup of tea.
Fu Shirui originally wanted to say only a few words, but seeing the gentle yet eager look in her little cousin's eyes, she unconsciously said too much, almost endlessly, a nagging that she had never done even with adults. In the end, after she finished, she felt much more relaxed.
After she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Cousin, am I talking too much? Am I annoying?"
Sheng Huan shook his head: "What my cousin said is very interesting."
After all, Fu Shirui is quite lifelike, playing several characters at the same time, and has a talent for crosstalk.
Finally, Sheng Huan said: "My aunt and my aunt are also concerned about my cousin."
Sheng Huan said, putting the oil paper bag in his hand on the table: "Cousin, I met my third cousin when I came here just now. My third cousin had something to do, so he asked me to bring something to you."
Fu Shirui saw the oil paper package and opened it directly. As soon as she opened it, a smell of meat came to her nose. She hummed: "Brother is so lazy, forget about him, we will eat it ourselves."
She added, "The kitchen just sent over a jar of plum wine. Cousin, try it. It's not intoxicating, and goes really well with this meat. It's very sweet and not greasy."
Sheng Huan did not refuse. She took the cup and took a sip. Her eyes lit up. When she smiled, her dimples appeared, and she smiled softly: "My cousin is really good at eating. Ying'er is in for a treat today."
The temperature today was neither too hot nor too cold, so it was very comfortable to eat from the hot pot. Sheng Huan and Fu Shirui talked while eating, and they ate until dark.
During this time, Furong glanced at her master secretly, with worry in her eyes.
The master has been ill these days and his appetite is not very good. Now that he has eaten these greasy foods and drunk some wine, I don’t know if he will feel uncomfortable at night.
Seeing that her eyes were too naked, Sheng Huan looked at her with the wine cup in hand and shook his head slightly.
-
Under the moonlight, Furong held a lantern to illuminate.
"Girl, are you feeling unwell?"
She looked at her master's slightly furrowed brows and became even more anxious.
"I am fine."
Sheng Huan pinched her temples and spoke in a low voice. She walked ahead step by step, and even walked towards a certain road without making a sound.
The woman had a frail figure, and perhaps because she had been drinking, her steps seemed a little light and fluttery.
Until they were almost at the corner, no one noticed the faint light that flashed across the woman's long eyelashes for a moment.
"what."
With a slight cry, she fell down. In a panic, she reached out to grab something, and she did grab something, and it was a hard object.
Not only that, she was also supported by an embrace that exuded a cold fragrance.
She raised her eyes in confusion, fear flashing across her watery eyes, but when she saw who she had caught in front of her, her lips, which she had bitten lightly, suddenly turned white with force.
"...Prince...Cousin..."
The man lowered his sharp eyes and smelled a very faint aroma of alcohol.
She was startled by his sharp eyes and quickly pushed him away, trying to get out of his arms. The woman's round and white earlobes were stained with a hint of pink, but her face was very pale. Furong was also startled when she saw this scene from behind. She quickly saluted and was about to come to help her master.
Sheng Huan withdrew from the man's arms, but the more panicked she was, the more mistakes she made. What's more, she had been drinking, and the strength under her feet became erratic. Fortunately, Furong supported her in time.
"right……"
Seeing that Fu Jinmo didn't say anything, the woman was obviously afraid that he would misunderstand. She looked at him nervously and helplessly, her lips moving slightly. In the end, she was still tongue-tied and apologized: "I'm sorry..."
Before she finished the last word, everything went dark before her eyes and she fell straight down in an instant.
"girl!"
Furong was startled and tried to reach out to grab someone, but she missed. However, her master did not fall down. She was even surprised to see that the noble prince opposite had already stretched out his hand.
Fu Jinmo took the woman's pulse and said in a cold voice, "Changji, call the doctor."
