Chapter 37 Watching the Fun
Xie Tingzhou's expression was calm and he calmly withdrew his gaze and left.
Shen Yu couldn't help but was speechless.
Mr. Lanyue is not famous in vain. He is just an admirer, and it is just a small scene.
But Shen Yu obviously thought wrong.
Before lunch was finished, there was a noise outside the courtyard.
Uncle Zheng put down his chopsticks and went out to take a look. He saw a group of women walking to the door chattering.
The leader was the daughter-in-law of Zhao Shun's family, and she opened the half-height low door of the fence courtyard.
People come in uninvited, and it's too late to stop them.
Uncle Zheng was so angry that he stamped his feet, turned to look at Xie Tingzhou and Shen Yu, and said nervously: "This, this, this, this..."
Uncle Zheng lives alone on weekdays, and rarely has anyone visit him. He has never dealt with so many women in his life, and he couldn't even speak clearly for a while.
"Hey, Uncle Zheng, are you still eating?" Zhao Shun's wife walked in front and spoke first.
"Yes, we are eating." Uncle Zheng just hoped that they would leave soon, "Are you busy?"
Zhao Shun's wife pressed the pink flower on her temple and said, "I just want to drop by and see you."
Zhao Shun's wife's eyes were stunned. Her eyes were already fixed on Xie Tingzhou's face. When she saw Shen Yu next to her, her eyes lit up again.
She only saw Xie Tingzhou when she came yesterday. She didn't expect that Uncle Zheng's life would be so good. Without his son, he would have two more handsome nephews.
This village is remote and you haven't seen a stranger for a year and a half, so it's naturally strange to see two handsome men.
Some simply came to watch the fun, some were dressed up and had their New Year jackets turned out. Even Mrs. Liu from the end of the village followed behind with a cane.
This is how it is in the village. If there is any disturbance, it will spread to everyone in just one meal.
Uncle Zheng blocked the door and refused to let in. A group of women poked their heads in and looked inside.
The rules in Beilin Palace are very strict, no one would dare to stare at Xie Tingzhou while he was eating.
The maids and servants must lower their heads when entering and exiting, and they must not look around, let alone stare at him while eating.
Xie Tingzhou put down his chopsticks and stood up.
To go back to the room, you need to go out of the main room and turn right, but the door is blocked.
It was the master's turn to clear the road, so it was naturally her job as a guard.
Shen Yu hurriedly scraped off the rice in the bowl, rushed in front of him, and greeted everyone at the door, "Excuse me, please give way, my brother is going back to rest."
"It's still early," someone in the crowd said, "Let's sit down and have a rest. Where did the young master come from?"
The door was so blocked that no wind could get in.
Shen Yu couldn't take action, let alone let the Prince of Beilin act like a monkey show here.
They are all neighbors. From now on, when the uncle lives here, he will have to rely on the villagers to take care of him.
"Let's wait for another day, another day." Shen Yu could hardly bear to be patient, so she coaxed the person away first and then said, "Let's prepare fruits for another day. Let's sit down and talk."
Uncle Zheng said angrily: "That's right, you blocked my door. Those who didn't know better thought you were here to collect debts."
The woman who couldn't push to the front yesterday said loudly from behind: "That's right, don't let people say that we village women don't understand the rules."
Seeing that everyone was a little shaken, Shen Yu added another fuel to the fire, "The weather is bad today, and I saw that the tree at the head of the village is nice. Why not put melon and fruit refreshments there in the evening and drink with the sunset? It would be so elegant."
Village women don't know anything about elegance, but seeing that both of them are fairy-like figures, they are naturally different from people like them.
Everyone opened the door to a wide path for one person, and someone said, "Let's do it tomorrow, I'll prepare a pot of tea."
"What kind of good tea can you get at your house? My guy is going to town tomorrow. I'll ask him to bring back some snacks."
Everyone has begun to assign tasks and who is responsible for preparing what.
Shen Yu looked back at Xie Tingzhou and motioned for him to follow quickly.
Someone behind the crowd pushed her. The person in front was pushed and was about to pounce on Shen Yu who was passing by.
It wouldn't be a big deal just to throw him down, but it happened to be the injured side.
Just as he was about to catch Shen Yu's injured arm, Xie Tingzhou suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him.
The woman threw herself on Xie Tingzhou's arm. The joy had not yet spread on her face. When she raised her eyes and saw Xie Tingzhou's face, her face suddenly froze.
Xie Tingzhou looked at her slightly and said word by word: "Stand still."
When their eyes met, the woman immediately shuddered. She clearly saw murderous intent in those sharp eyes.
Xie Tingzhou and Shen Yu entered the room and closed the door, and Shen Yu breathed a long sigh of relief.
After she married Jiang Lian, she also walked around with the wives of high-ranking officials and attended several banquets. Every time she went there, it felt like her days were like years. Only now did she realize that there are people outside the world.
After hearing the group of women in the courtyard walking away, Shen Yu took the kettle on the table and went out.
After a while, he came back with the pot.
Shen Yu poured a bowl of tea, held it in both hands and handed it to Xie Tingzhou, "Your Highness, please have tea."
Xie Tingzhou reached out and took the tea bowl.
There is a faint fragrance of tea floating in the air. Although it is not good tea, it is enough.
"Where did you get the tea?" Xie Tingzhou took a sip. The taste was indeed not very good.
Shen Yu said: "I bought it in the town yesterday."
Xie Tingzhou took another sip and said, "What are you buying tea for? Do you have a lot of money?"
Seeing that his bowl was almost empty, Shen Yu hurriedly added more to him, "Because His Highness actually frowns slightly every time he drinks water. I guess he is not used to drinking the water here."
Xie Tingzhou stared at him for a few seconds. His expression seemed to be smiling but not smiling, which made Shen Yu feel uncomfortable.
"What is your Highness laughing at?" Shen Yu asked.
Xie Tingzhou gently shook the tea bowl, the tea soup was dull in color, this was the worst quality tea he had ever drunk.
He smiled faintly and said: "I just helped you block someone, so you kept calling me your Highness. In the past, you were bold enough to call me 'you'."
Just like the rhubarb in the yard, he would wag his tail to anyone who was nice to him, which was quite cute.
Xie Tingzhou leaned closer, "Are you so easy to bribe?"
Shen Yu was stared at by him, and her body leaned back unconsciously, and said confidently: "That's because there are outsiders, so naturally, your Highness's identity cannot be exposed."
"Really?" Xie Tingzhou put down the tea bowl and said: "Then who said to me 'Come over to sleep a little' when it was just you and me last night?"
Shen Yu was embarrassed, "Yes, was there?"
She thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there was such a thing.
She felt very cold in the middle of the night, and unconsciously squeezed towards Xie Tingzhou, so he retreated and almost fell off the bed.
At that time, Xie Tingzhou sighed in the dark, and she seemed to have said this to him to lie closer.
However, she would never admit it.
"Your Highness, did you remember it wrong because you were confused?" Shen Yu was stubborn and didn't intend to admit it.
Xie Tingzhou didn't bother with him, and changed the subject and said, "You go to the tea party tomorrow by yourself."
Shen Yu then remembered that there was a big trouble. She was straightforward and spoke out at that time, just to persuade people to leave first.
Who knew that the group of women were not easy to fool, and they set a date for her directly.
"I won't go." Shen Yu said.
Looking at his wrinkled face, Xie Tingzhou was silent, "Is it possible that I should go?"
Let the dignified Prince of Beilin go to a tea party with a group of women?
Tsk tsk, that scene, Shen Yu didn't even dare to think about it.
