Wu Tanchun raised it and inserted it into the plate. He inserted a braised egg and sent it into his little mouth. Then, he repeated his habitual chewing action. He bit, bit hard. He only swallowed it in one gulp when he was almost done.
She picked up the bowl in front of her with one hand and tried her best to eat. She didn't know how many rice grains she had eaten, but she also habitually chewed and swallowed them.
Then, she reached out her hand and picked up a piece of Dongpo pork. She didn't know if it was fat or thin, but she chewed it habitually and swallowed it.
She thought as she ate. She had definitely seen those eyes before, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them before!
Even though his entire body was black, and even his face was covered by a black cloth, that pair of eyes that were exposed made her feel extremely familiar.
She was sure that the person must be someone who lived around her, but she could not accurately deduce who was the most likely person.
The Jia family had a large population, and she did not give up on filtering them one by one because she was stubborn and refused to give up on this annoying problem.
This question had been on Wu Tanchun's mind ever since the extremely arrogant robber left last night.
For the entire night, she tossed and turned in her mind about all the people she had met, comparing which person had the most similar eyes to the robber's evil eyes. Even when she washed up and changed in the morning, her mind was still spinning non-stop. She couldn't think of a clear answer, and Wu Tanchun wouldn't give up no matter what.
He tossed and turned the entire night and spent the morning in a daze. When he was focused on thinking about a certain problem, the passage of time was meaningless to Wu Tanchun.
Even though it was lunchtime, she still couldn't let go of this question that she couldn't figure out. She chewed it out of habit. She didn't spend much effort. Her mind was only filled with those eyes that made her grit her teeth. She swore that she would personally find the person hiding the mirror.
Wu Tanchun's mind was completely focused on his thoughts, not knowing how strange his every move was in the eyes of others.
She didn't even know that the egg that she had stuck in her chopsticks had fallen onto the table again. She even opened her mouth and made a chewing motion. The rice was all over the table. The real person, according to her Miss, might not even have ten grains. She didn't pick up the Dongpo Pork on the plate, but instead picked it up on the plate. It was obvious that she missed it again, but in the end, her miss still ate it.
Looking at the misbehaving Young Miss, the only thing Miao Yuan and Miao Fang could do was shake their heads and sigh bitterly. They were secretly glad that Young Miss had insisted on eating alone in her room. Otherwise, everything that happened today would definitely become a laughing stock again, and they would also lose the face of everyone in the Spring Dance Pavilion.
Suddenly, Wu Tanchun moved. She slammed her hand on the table and shouted,"I remember now! I finally remembered who those eyes belonged to!”
What did she remember? What eyes? "Miss, are you…alright?" Miao Yuan's heart turned cold as she asked. She was afraid that Miss would suddenly have a whim and want to play a prank on someone. That would be bad.
"I'm fine, and I'm extremely fine, hahaha!”Once the problem was solved, Wu Tanchun's worries were all gone. He was refreshed and in a good mood." Come, eat quickly. After you're done eating, I'll bring you guys to find Young Master Bao to 'play.'”Hehe! He wanted to play with the big bastard beside him to death so that he would know that his secret had been seen through by the shrewd her.
Wu Tanchun was so happy that he ate a few more bowls of rice when he saw the look on his face after hearing what he had to say. He gulped down all the dishes on the table in one gulp. Miao Yuan and Miao Fang, who were watching from the side, had mixed feelings.
Miao Yuan and Miao Fang were both happy and scared when they saw that their Miss had finally returned to her normal eating habits.
She was happy that Miss, who had been acting abnormally for the entire morning, had finally recovered her original appearance, but she was afraid of what Miss had said just now.
Why did Miss suddenly want to look for Young Master Bao? What exactly did she want to 'play' with him?
Speaking of the Jia Residence's Grand View Garden, Zhuge Yuanqiao had long wanted to visit it. Today, under the lead of his master, Jia Baoyu, he finally got his wish. It was a worthwhile trip.
The two of them chatted as they walked. They talked about the beautiful scenery in the garden, the ancient sages, and the ambitions in each other's hearts. The more they talked, the more they liked each other.
It was hard to find a confidant and a good friend. After spending an entire morning with Jia Baoyu, Zhuge Yuanqiao could not help but sigh,""A conversation with you is better than ten years of reading!”
"Well said, well said. Actually, brother is not bad either.”Jia Baoyu humbly returned the greeting.
The two of them bowed to each other and exchanged a modest glance. They could not help but laugh heartily.
Jia Baoyu was smiling happily when he glanced over. Eh, the one who was striding over with his head held high not far away, wasn't it…"? Heavens! Seeing the appearance of this troublesome character, Jia Baoyu's heart immediately sank. He quickly pulled his good friend's hand and said,"Uh…Brother, the road ahead is not suitable. I think we should take a detour!”It was better to say that he took a detour, but in fact, he wanted to be a coward.
"Brother, I'm afraid this is inappropriate." Zhuge Yuanqiao did not agree and pulled his hand back." You can see her, but she can also see us. If we deliberately take a detour to avoid her, it would be a very embarrassing scandal for a lady!”
" This…" This was true. Jia Baoyu remembered his actions just now and couldn't help but feel a little shy. However…" Sister Tanchun is really not to be trifled with."”She spoke recklessly and did not care if she offended others. Her actions were even more rude and indecent. He was afraid that she would offend his good friend.
"Will I?" Zhuge Yuanqiao had a deep impression of that woman. He had already planned to meet her for a while. Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, how could he miss it? "I think your Tanchun sister is very straightforward and cute.”
There weren't many women in the world who had such a bold style of doing things their own way.
Straightforward? Cute? Regarding this point, Jia Baoyu did not dare to agree.
However, everyone had their own aspirations and different tastes. He couldn't criticize her face to face. He wanted to avoid her, but because of his identity as the host, he could only risk his life to accompany Zhuge Junzi and wait for Wu Tanchun to approach him.
No matter how long the journey was, there was still a time when it was over. In just a moment, Wu Tanchun, Miao Yuan, and Miao Fang had already arrived in front of Jia Baoyu and Zhuge Yuanqiao.
The five of them met, but before they could nod or greet each other, Wu Tanchun spoke first,"What a coincidence! Brother Bao, Tanchun was just about to go to your place. I didn't expect to meet you on the way.”This sentence was to tell him that it was useless to hide. As long as she, Wu Tanchun, was determined to find someone, no one could hide from her. So…
"Actually, even if it's not that coincidental, it doesn't matter. At most, I'll spend more time waiting for you at your place. Don't you think so? Brother Bao." Even if you, Jia Baoyu, really know the Seventy-Two Transformations, you can't escape from the palm of my Tathagata Buddha.
"Haha! Yes, yes." After hearing Wu Tanchun's words, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Luckily, luckily, he didn't avoid her just now. Otherwise, if she really found his residence, there would really be no end to it. "Oh right, why is little sister looking for me today?”
" I don't dare to do such a thing. It's just…" Wu Tanchun's crafty eyes darted to the silent man at the side. He was her target today! "I want to know the elegant, noble, and skilled 'hero' beside you, Brother Bao.”She had other intentions when she said that, and she even dared to approach him. She did not take the dogma of " men and women should not touch each other " to heart at all.
" Sister Tanchun…" Jia Baoyu, who did not know what she was thinking, saw that she was targeting his friend and hurriedly went forward to stop her. However, Zhuge Yuanqiao, who was behind him, stepped past him and took the initiative to bow to Wu Tanchun. He said politely,"?? "I am Zhuge Yuanqiao. I would like to pay my respects to you first.”
Zhuge Yuanqiao's initiative made Jia Baoyu feel ashamed. He was simply asking for a snub. He simply pursed his lips and became a quiet audience, quietly watching the development of the two of them.
Similarly, Zhuge Yuanqiao's initiative made Wu Tanchun feel that this person's scheming was really deep. He knew that she was here to target him today, yet he still remained calm. He took the initiative to talk to her.
Looking at his steady performance, Wu Tanchun knew that it would not be easy to find out this person's fox tail. He would have to think about it carefully.
Since that was the case, he would first test him out today. "May I know where Brother Zhuge is from? Where do you live? What do you live on? Do you have any other relatives in the residence?" In order to find out more about him, Wu Tanchun asked these questions without any reservation. He even had a face that said that it was a matter of course and that it was open and aboveboard!
However, this was not the case in the ears of others.
After Jia Baoyu heard this, his face couldn't help but turn red. He resisted the urge to hold his forehead and sighed in his heart. Heavens! How could he have such a bold and shameless girl? She really made people feel ashamed for her!
"I'm from the Great Wall and I live in the Barbarian Land in the north of the Great Wall. Besides me, I have two parents at home. As for what I do for a living…it's hard to say. I can only say that my parents do everything and do nothing.”These words were both true and false. It depended on whether the listener was smart enough to judge whether it was true or false.
"Haha!" Wasn't the Northern Frontier just a large grassland? Didn't you only know how to ride a horse and fight all day long? In that case…”In other words, he was hiding his strength. He must be a martial artist.
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. Other than knowing some poetry, I know nothing else!”He said that he was ashamed, as if that was really the case. In fact, his sharp eagle-like eyes were flickering with an evil light that was difficult to identify.
" Really?" Guangwu Tanchun didn't believe it. Her eyes narrowed and she turned to Jia Baoyu for confirmation. Seeing that he really nodded, she was still skeptical." But I saw a man in black who looked like you last night. He was high and high in front of my door, and he came and went without a trace!”She even confronted him head-on. However, Wu Tanchun couldn't say this in person, afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.
"Sister Tanchun, aren't you insulting my friend by suspecting me?”This time, Jia Baoyu could no longer maintain his silence.
After listening to Wu Tanchun's words, he suddenly realized that this girl was here for the night burglar who invaded the Grand View Garden last night. Although he could understand her good intentions, her suspicion was too ridiculous and ridiculous. He really could not agree with her.
Zhuge Yuanqiao, a weak scholar who could not lift his hands and shoulder, how could he be the night thief who invaded people last night?
"It's fine, Brother Jia. Since the figure of that black clothed person was somewhat similar to mine, it was no wonder that Miss Wu would have doubts about me. I could understand this. " It's a pity…" Zhuge Yuanqiao sighed faintly and acted as if he was deeply moved." I've been weak and sickly since I was young, so I can't practice martial arts. Otherwise, I would really want to be like that black-clothed man, able to move high and high, and even come and go without a trace. These are all unique skills that I want to learn but can't.”
"So you want to learn to be a thief!" Wu Tanchun could find a way to stop him no matter what he said. If he didn't say it was right, the more he said it, the more wrong he would be.
Zhuge Yuanqiao, who had overcorrected himself, realized that he had really said the wrong thing. He could only look embarrassed. He was really speechless.
Jia Baoyu saw that his friend was being blocked by his sister and could not say a word. He immediately stood up for him and said,?? "Enough! Wu Tanchun, if you still don't know how to restrain yourself, don't blame me for turning my back on you!”
If you don't want to admit it, then don't admit it. Who cares about you! Wu Tanchun answered in his heart with great ambition, but it was not appropriate to show his ambition too clearly at this time." Yes, yes, yes, my good brother. My sister already knows that she said something wrong. I hope that you can be magnanimous and not be too calculative with this ignorant and ignorant woman."”
After appeasing Jia Baoyu's anger, she decided to stop testing him for the day, so she turned to Zhuge Yuanqiao with a sweet smile and said,""They say that friendship grows from fighting. After this quarrel, my relationship with Young Master Zhuge has reached a new level. If there's a chance to invite you to the Spring Dance Pavilion, I will definitely welcome you to visit and await your arrival at any time! Farewell."
He didn't want to force him to be too hasty, so this battle counted as Wu Tanchun losing slightly.
However, it was fine. As long as he was still in the Jia residence, she was not afraid that she would not have a chance to get back at him. Wu Tanchun was even more confident that Zhuge Yuanqiao would not leave the Jia residence so easily. At least, before he achieved his goal, she believed that even if someone really came out to chase him away, Zhuge Yuanqiao would not leave.
As he watched Wu Tanchun and the two maidservants leave, Jia Baoyu smiled bitterly while Zhuge Yuanqiao remained silent.
The two of them looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Sigh! My sister is like this, I hope brother can forgive her.”
"It's fine. Actually, Miss Tanchun did this to protect the safety of the Jia family. I can understand her good intentions.”
Look! Wu Tanchun, oh Wu Tanchun, your overbearing manner is making people extremely dissatisfied.
However, it was hard to be a good person!
The three women hurried along the way. Wu Tanchun was thinking about how to force Zhuge Yuanqiao to give himself away while Miao Yuan and Miao Fang were filled with questions.
Miao Fang, who had always been unable to hold back her thoughts, finally couldn't take it anymore and decided to ask. "Miss, Miss!" As she shouted, she caught up to Wu Tanchun." Miss, are you sure that the thief who broke in last night was that Young Master Zhuge?"”
"What, you two sisters don't believe me?”Miao Yuan and Miao Fang were the closest to her in the Jia residence and understood her the most. If even they refused to believe her, Wu Tanchun would be utterly disappointed. "Don't tell me that even you think that I'm the kind of person who would accuse others without any evidence?”
"No, I can't! It's not like that." Miao Fang could not help but shake her head in fear when she saw the angry expression on her young lady's face." But that Young Master Zhuge doesn't look like a bad person at all!" That's why I…"
"Idiot!" Wu Tanchun scolded the innocent little girl and gave her a knock on the head." Do you think a bad person would write the words 'I am a bad person' on his face to announce to everyone that he is a bad person? So, the more impossible a person is, the more suspicious they are. You have to learn this principle.”
One must not have the heart to harm others, but one must be wary of others. A seemingly harmless and kind person's thoughts were even more unpredictable and difficult to guard against.
"Miss, I can't disagree with you.”From the beginning to the end, Miao Yuan refused to believe that the refined, elegant, and extremely handsome Young Master Zhuge was the night thief that the young lady had mentioned.
As the saying goes, looks are born from the heart. How could a person with evil intentions look so human? Thinking of Zhuge Yuanqiao's handsome face, Miao Yuan could not help but be moved.
"Why?" Miao Fang had a na?ve personality, so it was understandable that she didn't believe him. If Miao Yuan didn't believe him, Wu Tanchun would really bid on the spot,'Why don't you agree with my deduction?”
"Just as Young Lady said, the more suspicious the impossible person is, then why did Young Lady not suspect anyone in the residence, but only that Young Master Zhuge? So I guess that Miss's misgivings may be due to her prejudice. It was because of what happened under the stage yesterday that Miss decided that Master Zhuge was a burglar.”
Miao Yuan had clearly seen the undercurrent between Wu Tanchun and Zhuge Yuanqiao yesterday. It was because of this that she became so suspicious. She suspected that Wu Tanchun was looking for an excuse to falsely accuse Zhuge Yuanqiao and deliberately embarrass him.
" You…" It was hard to calm down, really hard to calm down! Wu Tanchun never thought that Miao Yuan would view her character so lowly. How hateful and annoying!
"Humph! Let me tell you the truth. I fought with that burglar last night. If I didn't have 100% confidence, I wouldn't have bothered to look for that idiot named Brother Pig. Do you understand?”After saying that, Wu Tanchun was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and left. He couldn't be bothered to deal with that stupid woman who had the opposite sex but no humanity.
He would! She secretly swore in her heart that one day, she would let Miao Yuan see the true face of that person. She would make Miao Yuan speechless and apologize to her face to repay the humiliation she had suffered today.
Wu Tanchun had never changed his principle of being a person. She would return the favor even if the other party treated her well.
It was also because of this that she swallowed her anger, bowed to Jia Baoyu and admitted her mistake, and hypocritically responded to Zhuge Yuanqiao. Otherwise, with her reckless temper, how could she swallow her anger just now?
All of this was to repay the kindness of the Jia family for taking her in, as well as the kindness of the old grandmother.
" Sister..." Miao Fang looked at the young lady leaving sulkily and felt really bad. However, on one side was her own sister, and on the other side was her master who doted on her. She really did not know which side to take.
"It's okay. You don't have to worry too much.”Miao Yuan believed her a little after she heard that she had exchanged blows with the burglar, but…sigh! It was hard to let go of a young girl's feelings. She just wanted to believe in Young Master Zhuge!
" Miss's temper has always come and gone as she pleases. I believe that she will be appeased in a while. At that time, I will apologize to her in person.”No matter what, Wu Tanchun was still her master. No matter what the truth was today, she had to apologize.
"It's true, sister. Don't lie to me.”Miao Fang heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that Miao Yuan was willing to apologize to the young miss. If not, it would be really difficult for her to be caught between these two people!
"Alright! Miss has already gone far away. We'd better hurry up and follow her!”
That night, Wu Tanchun, Xie Miaoyuan and Miao Fang insisted on accompanying her to sleep. After hurriedly sending them away, he hurriedly changed into the clothes he had prepared beforehand and sneaked into Jia Baoyu's courtyard.
Catching a thief, catching the stolen goods, catching an adulterer in bed, she naturally understood this principle.
In order to force Zhuge Yuanqiao to reveal his true colors, she planned to wait for him. As long as he dared to take action, she was not afraid that she would not have the chance to see through his true colors.
Therefore, even though she knew the danger, she still refused to give up. She had to make everyone who doubted her believe that her deduction was correct.
It was a quiet night, and the surroundings were pitch black. The night wind was particularly chilly. Wu Tanchun couldn't help but shiver, but he still refused to give up.
Her eyes were fixed on the door that belonged to Zhuge Yuanqiao, quietly waiting for the door to move.
After an unknown amount of time, seeing that she was about to fall asleep from waiting, finally, the heavens did not disappoint her." Ah!" The sound of the door opening could be heard. Following that, the person who stuck his body out was the burglar in black from last night.
"Haha! This time, you won't be able to deny it! Zhuge Yuanqiao." Without batting an eyelid, Wu Tanchun stealthily stood on his tiptoes and followed behind him, wanting to see what his true purpose in hiding in the Jia residence was.
One after the other, two similarly black shadows walked silently along the empty corridor.
The further they walked, the more Wu Tanchun felt that something was amiss. The feeling in his heart also worsened, as if there was a fatal trap lying in wait for her in front.
If she was smart enough, she would have chosen to withdraw at this moment and stop following him. However, she was stubborn and refused to give up this rare opportunity.
"Strange, if we walk any further, we'll be at the back courtyard of the Grand View Garden. Why would he go to that uninhabited place? Could it be that there were bandits behind him?”Even though Wu Tanchun knew that there was something fishy about the matter, he still recklessly found a very legitimate reason for it and foolishly decided to continue following it.
Suddenly, Zhuge Yuanqiao stopped moving.
He didn't move, and Wu Tanchun didn't move either. Her petite body flashed and she quickly found a huge rock to hide, quietly watching what he wanted to do.
She did not expect him to suddenly turn around and walk straight in the direction of the boulder where she was hiding.
What did he want to do? Could it be that he had fallen into his trap?
Noticing that something was amiss, Wu Tanchun turned around and planned to escape. However, an iron palm suddenly picked up her clothes and easily dragged her in front of him.
What appeared before Wu Tanchun's eyes was a pair of eyes that she would never forget.
