Xie Wanyu turned around, "Didn't you call me madam before?"
"In the Xiao family, you have to be called this, but this is Panyun Mountain, where you and I first met. I only think of you as Wanyu." After saying that, Shen Jinyu went to the kitchen.
After all, he had lived a hard life. Not only could he pick vegetables by himself, but he could also chop firewood and cook with ease. Xiao Zhi was very surprised when he saw it, and couldn't help but follow him.
Xie Wanyu was sitting in the room. As long as the window over there was opened, she could see the small kitchen.
Xiao Zhi had an envious look on his face and followed Shen Jinyu as he ran back and forth.
Shen Jinyu was not annoyed, and asked him to do some work from time to time. Occasionally, he would ask about some poems. Xiao Zhi answered them fluently, with more confidence on his face.
Seeing him like this, Xie Wanyu couldn't help but sigh, he looked more like a child like this.
At the same time, he also understood that Xiao Zhi lacked fatherly love.
Xie Wanyu understands the hardships of orphans, so she always gives the best to Xiao Zhi, but as a father, Xie Wanyu really has no choice. Xiao Jing doesn't like her, so how can she be kind to a child who has no blood relationship.
Not even able to cope with it.
Xiao Zhi also understood this, so he never got close to Xiao Jing.
Unexpectedly, he was obviously very wary of Shen Jinyu, and now the two of them were talking and laughing as if they were biological father and son.
Seeing this scene, Xie Wanyu's eyes were full of tenderness.
She was originally worried that Shen Jinyu would always come to her and make people gossip. After all, there were many disputes in front of the widow's door. But seeing such a scene, Xie Wanyu felt that Shen Jinyu should come more often.
Compared with letting people gossip and Xiao Zhi's happiness, the former is almost nothing worth mentioning.
At dinner time, Xie Wanyu looked at the vegetables on the table and couldn't help but hold her forehead.
Shen Jinyu smiled helplessly, "There are too many wild vegetables, so I made some more. If you don't like eating them, you can try the beggar's chicken. This is what Pei Zhi and I did together."
"Yes mother, Uncle Shen and I completed this together." Xiao Zhi said proudly.
In just one meal, the two of them became so intimate.
"Then I have to try it." Seeing that Xiao Zhi was happy, Xie Wanyu naturally did not disappoint him, so she tasted it. Not to mention, the taste was really good, "This is the first time I have tasted this kind of taste. It is very good." tasty."
she said with a smile.
After hearing this, Xiao Zhi and Shen Jinyu looked at each other, and then they both laughed.
Xie Wanyu didn't know what the two of them were laughing about. Anyway, she was quite happy to see them happy.
A few people had a delicious meal.
Probably because she was too full, Xie Wanyu sat on the swing in front of the door and watched the stars at night.
It was still rainy during the day, but now the stars are twinkling in the sky, indicating that tomorrow will be a good weather.
"Isn't it cold?" A cloak was draped over Xie Wanyu.
Xie Wanyu knew who it was without looking back, "You also ate too much and couldn't sleep?"
Shen Jinyu walked around her and sat on another swing. "I was reading a book. When I saw you going out, I also walked out." He looked at the stars in the sky with tenderness on his face.
"That's right." Xie Wanyu nodded, then looked at the sky and said, "That one is Altair, that one is Vega. My mother always told me their stories when I was young."
"Their ending is destined to be tragic." Shen Jinyu's eyes were gloomy, "How can someone with a wrong family and the wrong identity last long?"
Xie Wanyu didn't know why he said that. After thinking for a moment, he probably had a relationship like this before, so she comforted her, "There are so many well-matched couples in the world. If the relationship is really strong, just like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, it's okay." For a long time.”
"But there is no such strong relationship." Shen Jinyu sighed, as if he remembered something painful.
"Don't be too sad. With your status, what kind of woman do you want to find?" Xie Wanyu said hurriedly.
Shen Jinyu was stunned for a moment, then laughed helplessly, "What are you talking about? I was just sighing, not that I have experienced this."
When Xie Wanyu heard what he said, she breathed a sigh of relief, "So that's it, you really scared me to death."
Shen Jinyu smiled, and then said seriously, "If you and I were together, we wouldn't be incompatible with each other."
"Huh?" Xie Wanyu didn't expect that the conversation would change so quickly, and she didn't know what to say.
He looked at Xie Wanyu and said, "Since Marquis Dingyuan has passed away, you are so young, why bother guarding him? Why don't you remarry as soon as possible and live the life you want."
Xie Wanyu knew what he was thinking.
But she unconsciously wanted to escape from his urgent gaze.
"I am also a widow, which is unlucky. Besides, walking from this square yard to another square yard, how could I be happier?" Xie Wanyu finished speaking and smiled at herself. .
She had already planned that when the time was right in the future, she would take out the letter and leave the Xiao family openly, and live freely by herself.
"You know I don't care about this. I have no father or mother, and I'm not from a wealthy family. I don't have that many relatives. I can make my own decision about my marriage. I know you don't like to be bound. After you get married, you can go out anytime and anywhere. When you are doing business and want to go sightseeing, I will take you to go sightseeing. If you don’t want to be in Kyoto, I will resign and take you to find a paradise to live." Shen Jinyu said a lot in one breath.
Xie Wanyu felt depressed and didn't know what to say to him.
I have to say that this kind of day is what Xie Wanyu longs for. Just hearing Shen Jinyu say this makes her heart move.
"Wanyu, I want to marry you." Shen Jinyu grabbed Xie Wanyu's hand with affectionate eyes, "I can't help myself from the first time I saw you. I fell in love at first sight and fell in love with you again. Do you know that I All I can think about is you. When I knew your identity, I really..."
He shook his head, "Speaking of which, I am also a little bad, because after learning about Xiao Jing's death, I was happy for a moment."
After saying that, he felt his cheeks feel a little hot.
Xie Wanyu withdrew her hand and said, "Master Shen, I can't promise you. As long as I stay in the Xiao family for one day, I will be the Marquis of Dingyuan. Even if Xiao Jing is gone, I will not do such a thing. My upbringing doesn’t allow me to do that.”
She spoke righteously, and Shen Jinyu immediately panicked.
"I'm sorry, I was abrupt. It doesn't matter. I'm willing to wait, ten, twenty years..."
Xie Wanyu looked at him blankly, her red lips moved, not knowing what to say.
"Madam, Madam Hou!" Suddenly there was a strong knock on the door.
It startled both of them.
Dawu reacted quickly and immediately opened the door.
Unexpectedly, standing at the door was Yan Qingzhao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He was much more haggard than before. "Madam!" He stepped forward, cupped his hands, and then turned his eyes to Shen Jinyu.
"Why are you here, but what's the matter with the prince?" Xie Wanyu asked.
Yan Qingzhao is Tai Shuqi's confidant. The fact that he can come in person means that there must be something important.
