Chapter 274 Strange(1/2)
Liu Yu'an didn't come back for several days in a row. Zhenniang waited hard every day, but she didn't even see anyone.
And not only at noon and evening, even when she went to sell steamed buns in the morning, she never met him again.
Zhenniang had been flustered for several days in a row, always getting distracted frequently. Seeing that Aunt Zhang was getting suspicious, Zhenniang couldn't help it anymore.
In the past, it would have been nothing if she hadn't seen each other for a few days. However, after so many things happened, she found out that he liked Yang Xu. He must not have known about it. That was what happened last time when she almost lost her mask.
?
Could he be hiding from himself?
While waiting outside, she saw Tianbao coming back and couldn't help but ask.
"Tianbao, you are back." Zhenniang stepped forward and smiled.
"Well, hello, Sister Zhang." Tianbao also smiled gently.
He is actually quite strange. For several days, this picture of his sister has been outside, not knowing who she is waiting for, and every time he comes over, she will take a look at it. It is really strange.
Today she was waiting here again. When she called him, Tianbao had only one feeling, well, she finally found him.
Tianbao didn't take the initiative to ask, he just stood there with a smile and waited for Zhenniang to ask him.
Zhen Niang didn't know how to speak, and she complained about this boy in her heart. She felt that this boy, like his sister, only had a good appearance, but in the end he was not a good person!
Everyone has always said that he is smart, sensible and polite, but why doesn't he seem considerate at all now?
But it was still strange to just stand like this, so Zhen Niang still endured her embarrassment and spoke.
"I just want to ask, didn't you come back with Mr. Liu before? Why haven't you seen Mr. Liu these days? I have something to ask him about." Zhenniang explained.
"Mr. Liu has been staying at the school these days. If Sister Zhang has anything to do, you can go to the school to see Mr. Liu, or if it's inconvenient, you can ask me to convey it to you."
Zhen Niang only felt that it was a bolt from the blue. He was living in the school? Why? What else could he do to live in the school at this time? To avoid her...
"Is he very busy recently? So he didn't have time to come back? So he stayed in the school?" Zhenniang asked eagerly.
She was anxious to know the answer. If it was because of other things, then it was because she was overthinking it!
Tianbao looked at Zhang Zhenniang, who looked a little crazy because of her nervous expression, and became even more confused.
"It shouldn't be very busy, but it may be because of Mr. Liu's own affairs! I'm not sure." Tianbao replied.
Not very busy, not very busy...
Tianbao said a few words, but Zhenniang could only hear this. She left in a daze, stumbling away without even saying hello.
Tianbao stayed where he was and felt even more strange. Why did Sister Zhang care so much? It didn't seem like she was just looking for Mr. Liu to have something to do. Moreover, he didn't say anything just now! Why did she look like she was shocked.
Tianbao shook his head. He still couldn't understand some of the adults' things! It's better to go home for dinner! My sister must have cooked something delicious again today, so he'd better go back earlier.
Zhen Niang felt confused. What went wrong? Why did he leave here to live in a school? There was nothing else to do, so why did he do this?
She couldn't help but think too much. Was it because she disturbed him by going to his house, or because he knew her ulterior thoughts, so he deliberately avoided her?
No matter which reason it was, Zhen Niang only felt heartbroken. If it was the former, he would have told himself clearly that he did not want to associate with her and that he had already disturbed him.
If it was the second reason... Zhenniang didn't dare to consider it because of the second reason, that is, she knew what she was thinking and then silently refused.
She was careful not to reveal her thoughts, just for fear that he would find out and stay away from her. But now that she only got close once, he stayed away from her...
She had to think of a way, she couldn't be in such a daze, and now that the time had come, she definitely couldn't sit still and wait for death!
When Tianbao returned, the food was ready. As soon as he got home, he could wash his hands and eat.
At the dinner table, Yang Xu happened to mention that he had just painted a few patterns recently and was going to ask the master to make some masks.
"I promised to make one for Dada, even if it was to compensate him. Didn't I borrow his mask before? He is a man who never wants to use another mask after it has been used by others, so I promised to give it to him.
If you want to make another one, you will have to do it outside. Just make a few more and everyone will have one." Yang Xu said with a smile.
"Do I have one too? I don't have a mask yet! I went to see the last lantern festival, but there was nothing good to see, so I didn't buy it. This time, it happened to be in time for the next lantern festival." Tianbao also laughed.
"Well, our family has everyone except Xiao Yuanxiao. I was afraid that the mask would get stuck on him because of its weight, so I didn't make it for him. He might be aggrieved by that time!"
Wang Dayi also joked with them, and he laughed a little more than before.
While talking about home affairs, Yang Xu thought of Liu Yu'an and asked casually.
"By the way, I don't seem to have looked at Mr. Liu in the past few days. I saw him last time when he returned the mask. Didn't he come back with you?" Yang Xu asked.
"Mr. Liu has been living in the school these days and has not gone home with me." Tianbao replied.
"Eh? Why did he move so well? I didn't see him move?" Yang Xu said in surprise.
Why did you live well here and suddenly go to live in a school? I didn't hear any movement!
"I don't know about this, but I didn't move anything. I saw that Mr. Liu only brought a few changes of clothes."
Yang Xu was even more puzzled, why did he suddenly go to live in the school? And it was not a move. Could it be that Mr. Liu missed his previous house and went back to live for a few days?
Yang Xu didn't understand it. Mr. Liu had nothing to do anyway, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
"By the way, I still feel strange! When I came back just now, I met Sister Zhang. She also asked me about Mr. Liu. I also said that Mr. Liu lived in the school. Then Sister Zhang asked me if I had been there recently.
The school was quite busy, so Mr. Liu moved back to live in the school. I only said that the school was not busy. I don’t know other things about Mr. Liu himself. Then Sister Zhang left with a very ugly expression on her face, as if her steps were a bit awkward.
He stumbled, as if he had suffered a blow." Tianbao stated with a frown.
He didn't know why Sister Zhang reacted this way. A normal person would ask, she should react like her sister!
And this matter had nothing to do with him. He didn't want to say anything about it originally, but he suddenly mentioned it and talked to his sister about it.
"Eh? Zhenniang? Why did she ask about Mr. Liu? And she reacted so strangely?" Yang Xu was also surprised.
"Yes, it's Sister Zhang. For the past few days, she has been standing at the door every day, as if waiting for someone, but it doesn't look like it. And every time I pass by, she will take a look. I feel strange
Well, then today she asked about Mr. Liu, saying she had something to do with him, but after I finished speaking, her reaction was so strange, I didn't quite understand..." Tianbao wondered.
This time, even Wang Dayi paused for a moment, then continued to eat, and even brought food to Yang Xu and Tianbao.
"You mean, Zhenniang has been waiting outside for Mr. Liu these days?" Yang Xu was also obviously surprised.
"Probably." Tianbao nodded.
Yang Xu frowned and thought for a while. All these signs were clear. Zhenniang probably had something to do with Mr. Liu, but she couldn't tell whether it was a male-female affair.
Moreover, Mr. Liu suddenly went to live in the school in the past few days, which is probably because of this!
"Don't mention this to others, lest people gossip about Mr. Liu and Sister Zhang." Yang Xu warned.
"Don't worry, sister, I don't like to talk about family matters with others." Tianbao nodded.
It's just that he still doesn't understand what's going on, but since his sister didn't tell her, he won't ask, so touching is probably a matter between adults and has nothing to do with him.
While eating the meal, Yang Xu became a little distracted. If she guessed correctly, Zhenniang probably liked Mr. Liu, so Mr. Liu discovered this, or Zhenniang took the initiative to tell him, but Mr. Liu did not agree.
, is this why you are hiding from Zhen Niang?
Anyway, no matter whether her guess was correct or not, she would go see Zhenniang another day, no, just tomorrow. The age difference between them was not that big, and maybe she could be comforted.
"Eat quickly, the food will be cold soon. Love affairs have their own destiny." Wang Dayi took a chopstick dish to Yang Xu and said.
Yang Xu chuckled, it turned out that Dayi understood it too! I thought he didn't understand these things, but I didn't expect him to be quite perceptive.
Yang Xu really felt this way. They couldn't influence Mr. Liu's affairs, so the most she could do was comfort Zhen Niang. She couldn't do anything else, so she better not worry.
I just hope that Zhenniang won’t be too sad, and won’t be overwhelmed by her thoughts and take the wrong path.
Yang Xu's guess was indeed close to ten, and Zhenniang's mind was going a little crazy at the moment.
She had been demanding for too long, but she still couldn't get it, so she could wait. But day by day, her wishes came true one by one, and now she has no way out.
It was absolutely impossible for her to give up, but she couldn't think of any ideas, and she was so confused right now that she really couldn't calm down and think carefully.
Now she can only ask others to give her advice, and that person has the most evil ideas.
When Zhenniang was a child, the current family did not originally live next to her home. Originally, there lived a family named Lu.
Originally, the family was pretty good. They had a young daughter and a young couple. And there seemed to be no elders in the family, so they were living a pretty good life.
The man was a scholar, fair and good-looking, and the woman was quite capable and good at embroidery. It was at her place that Zhenniang first came into contact with embroidery.
She is similar in age to the youngest daughter of that family. The girl's name is Jin'er, who is two years older than her. She is bright and charming, just like her parents.
The two children have a good relationship, and Zhenniang loves embroidery. At the age of seven or eight, she just likes needlework. Whenever she goes to the house next door, she usually learns embroidery from Jin'erniang.
She had met that man many times. He was a shy person. They had obviously been married for several years, but because he had been studying, he still had a different feeling from others.
According to Zhenniang's current understanding, it probably just feels like a boy! He is twenty-eight or nine years old, but he is shy and simple. So he concentrates on studying and getting fame, so naturally he doesn't go out to make money.
The family's food and drink expenses, as well as the man's money for buying books, all depended on Jin'er Niang alone. She simply had a good craftsmanship, and the embroidery was so good that a pair of handkerchiefs could be sold for a good price.
Their family's life is not considered poor, but Jin'er Niang may be a little busier and has to embroider handkerchiefs every day to earn money, otherwise the family will have no source of income.
She was a gentle woman who never complained. When she saw her husband, her eyes were full of love. I heard that Jin'er was originally Xiu Niang's daughter and could have married into a good family. It was she who fell in love with this man and wanted to marry her.
For him.
She simply got her wish and soon gave birth to Jin'er. Jin'er had been good-looking since she was a child, and her parents loved her, so she was naturally a little proud.
Jin'er doesn't like embroidery, she likes dancing. Besides having a good appearance, she was different from others when she was eleven years old. At that time, she had the prototype of a good figure. She also loved beauty, so she
Like to dance.
