Chapter 288 He is the cannon fodder control group (44)
After the beams are put up, the generous host will treat everyone to a meal.
Gu Yao and Si Cen have money in their hands now, so they are naturally not stingy. They have already asked Aunt Zhao and other aunts to help and prepare several tables of delicious dishes.
Just then, a little kid came running over, whimpering, saying that a big carriage had arrived at the village entrance, and there was a man dressed like a master asking about Man Ge'er.
The little guy who brought the news had just finished speaking when the person he was talking about came over with a boy from the village.
It turned out to be Wang Jingsheng and his sister.
However, Wang Jingchun was dressed as a man at this time.
Wang Jingsheng still had a bit of a distraught look on his face that he couldn't completely conceal.
He remembered that he had just asked someone in the village about Si Cen. When he heard the villager say that Si Cen and her husband were putting up the beam of their new house today and were busy entertaining relatives and friends, he felt like he was struck by lightning.
How...how come I have a husband? !
He saw the young man going to the city every few days to do business, and he didn't look very old, so he subconsciously didn't think about the possibility that he was already married.
He couldn't believe what he was hearing.
After that, I was filled with loss and confusion when I was led here by the villagers who volunteered to lead the way.
Before he could sort out his emotions and expressions, he heard the man shouting, "Brother Man, these two guys said they are your friends in the city, and they are here to play with you!"
Si Cen was chatting with Jin Ge'er, and looked over when he heard this.
The little boy under the warm spring sun was wearing a sky-blue spring shirt, and his delicate little face was slightly flushed, as if he had put on rouge.
A pair of fox eyes sparkled, lips were red and moist, and there was a smile that had not yet faded away.
Wang Jingsheng: He cried out with a "wuuuuu".
I'm moved again!
Every time I see it, my heart is moved.
But I know he has a husband.
Why is God so cruel to him?
"Why is Brother Wang here?"
Wang Jingsheng was hit hard on the side by his sister's elbow. He almost grimaced in pain. He turned his head and glared at his sister who was dressed as a boy next to him. She gloated and said, "The boy you love is talking to you. It's a pity that he is someone else's husband.
Brother, if you want to do something immoral, I will despise you."
In fact, there was still some loss and sadness in Wang Jingchun's eyes, but Wang Jingsheng could also see that it was just a momentary emotion. She knew her limits in her heart and was not the kind of person who belittled herself.
Seeing how she was trying to adjust her mood, especially remembering that although my sister and I were in slightly different situations, we were both hurt in love, so of course I forgave her for deliberately doing that.
"Brother Cen, I originally thought that spring should not be wasted, so I brought my younger brothers here to invite you to go outing together. I never thought that today I would run into you putting up the beams of your new house. Then I will shamelessly eat a delicious meal for myself!"
Si Cen glanced at Wang Jingchun and realized that their purpose of coming here must be more than just that.
But now that everyone is watching, this is definitely not the time to tell the truth.
So he took what Wang Jingsheng said as true and exchanged a few words with him with a smile.
Wang Jingsheng said that he could not be rude, so he gave some instructions to the servant who was accompanying him, asking him to ride back to the city and buy a gift for Si Cen.
When I turned around, I saw Si Cen leading a very tall, handsome and stern man towards me.
"Let me introduce you to my husband, Brother Wang. This is my good friend, Wang Jingsheng, who is my business partner in the city and has helped me a lot."
Wang Jingsheng's eyes fell on the little brother's hand that was secretly hooked with his husband's little finger and shook it for a moment, and when he looked up again, he had concealed his disappointment and smiled, "Although we are good friends, I actually treat Brother Cen as my own brother. I'll give you a favor, and Brother Cen's husband is my brother-in-law."
He cupped his hands, his expression and tone sincere.
Wang Jingsheng is indeed a friend who can take on and let go, and is open and sincere.
Si Cen had just noticed that the guy next to him was jealous, but as he was treating his partner, he certainly hoped that the two of them would not have any conflicts, so he secretly hooked hands with him, to please and appease his Tu Tu, and also to hint to his Tu Tu to give him face.
He is like this now, could Gu Yao bear to see her young husband unhappy?
He looked at this lifelong enemy... no, this rich scholar. Just now at the beginning, the way he looked at his husband, as both were men, he could tell the difference.
But in just a moment, the unnecessary things in his eyes disappeared.
The look is quite sincere.
"Thank you for coming to congratulate me. My name is Gu Yao."
Although his expression and tone were still cold, it was just his normal way of treating others, and he had no intention of targeting Wang Jingsheng.
Si Cen tickled his palm ingratiatingly and smiled at him very sweetly, "Husband, please help me entertain the neighbors. Brother Wang and I, oh, and Brother Wang, have something to talk about~"
What else could Gu Yao do? Of course he should forgive him.
Si Cen took the Wang siblings to the outer room of their old house next door.
Wang Jingsheng then noticed the shabby thatched house next to him, and his eyes suddenly became complicated. "Did you live here before?"
Si Cen seemed not to hear the trace of heartache in his words, and said with a smile, "Yeah, what's wrong with this place? Most of the people in our village live in mud houses like this, but my son A Yao doesn't live here often, so he hasn't taken good care of it over the years. He insisted on building a new house because he didn't want to let me down."
Wang Jingsheng saw the bows hanging on the wall and some furs hanging in the room that had not yet been put away, and he knew that Gu Yao was probably a hunter.
I think before he got married, he preferred to stay in the mountains most of the time, and his life was rough.
Such a person can marry a husband like Si Cen who is so talented, interesting and most importantly so handsome!
Wang Jingsheng is so sour!
"You two came to Da'ao Village today, I guess you didn't come just to see me, right?"
Seeing Wang Jingsheng gritting his teeth and covering his chest in a mad manner, Si Cen simply didn't bother to pay attention to him and spoke to Wang Jingchun, who was sitting next to him with a depressed look.
Wang Jingchun and Si Cen were already very familiar with each other, and perhaps because she was dressed in men's clothing, she was much more outgoing and did not shy away from him, speaking very directly.
"I just want to come and verify it myself and see what kind of person Gu... Hefeng married."
Speaking of this, Wang Jingsheng also calmed down and said seriously, "Thank you, Brother Cen, for reminding me that day, which saved my sister from a disaster. Although this girl was stubborn and insisted on seeing that man's wife, in fact, I also came here to thank you."
As he spoke, he took out a box and handed it to Si Cen, "This is a thank you gift..."
Si Cen saw a moment of hesitation on his expression, then glanced at the length of the box and guessed what was inside.
"Well... Because I didn't know that Brother Cen was married before, I didn't think much when choosing the thank-you gift. Now I feel that this gift...is not quite appropriate."
What he prepared was a jade hairpin. The color and craftsmanship were quite amazing. It was not a cheap item bought from those small shops in Qingcheng. He asked someone to buy it from the capital. It was very expensive.
But here, giving a boy a hairpin is like a girl giving a boy a purse... everyone knows what it means.
His gift was inappropriate.
