In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

Chapter 88 1 Kind of Feeling

Chen Ruotong transferred the original two-story Chen Residence to Qiao Zien's name and changed it to Qiao Residence. After all, Qiao Zien also owned half of the treasure.

But Qiao Zien doesn't seem to care much about money. As long as she has money to spend, she is happy and never asks Chen Ruotong for money.

Chen Ruotong was not a person who didn't care about details. She had to have a house for Qiao Zien in Pingyang Prefecture. This second-floor courtyard happened to be close to the academy, which was convenient for him to go to school, so she gave it to him. She also placed the books, calligraphy and paintings she had looted from Wang Yuanwai on the bookshelf in the study. These rare ancient books would be of great help to Qiao Zien's studies.

Qiao Zien just smiled and nodded, accepting it happily. There was basically nothing to do on the farm, so Qiao Bo also returned to the Qiao residence.

Chen Ruotong was relieved that Qiao Bo and Tie Dan were taking care of Qiao Zien's daily life. So she moved out of Qiao's house and moved into a large house with five entrances. She wanted to enjoy a luxurious life!

Chen Ruotong leads a leisurely and comfortable life every day. She often enjoys flowers and the moon in the courtyard and tastes delicious food and wine. She thinks this is the nourishing life she should live, and she thinks her life has reached its peak!

Qiao Zien and his two servants live in the current Qiao residence. He always feels that something is missing, and he feels weird and uncomfortable.

He often thought of Chen Guchuan's smile and his greedy expression. Whenever he thought of these, he would smile unconsciously and call out "Brother Guchuan" inadvertently. But when he found that Chen Guchuan was no longer around, a feeling of loneliness came over him, and he couldn't help but feel bitter.

He knew that there was an emotion called longing. He missed her, wanted to see her, and wanted to share the joy of study and life with her.

That evening, Qiao Zien was reading in the study as usual. As she was reading, she became distracted and her thoughts drifted to Chen Ruotong.

"Young master, it's time for dinner." Tiedan's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Okay, got it." Qiao Zien put down the book, stretched, and walked out of the study.

At the table, Qiao Zien was eating absentmindedly. Qiao Bo saw it and couldn't help asking, "Master, are you worried about something?"

Qiao Zien shook her head and said nothing.

After dinner, Qiao Zien was walking in the yard when he suddenly saw a figure flash past the door. He was moved and hurriedly chased after him, but saw nothing.

"Do I miss Gu Chuan too much?" Qiao Zien murmured to herself.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind: "Who is thinking about me?"

Qiao Zien turned around suddenly and saw Chen Ruotong standing at the door, looking at him with a smile.

"Gu Chuan!" Qiao Zien asked shyly, "Why are you here?"

"I came to see you." Chen Ruotong walked into the yard. "I haven't seen you for a few days. How are you?"

Qiao Zien nodded, her eyes full of joy, "Everything is fine, but..."

"Just what?" Chen Ruotong asked.

"It seems a little less lively! Hehehe..." Qiao Zien touched his head and smiled.

Chen Ruotong smiled and said, "If you feel lonely and don't mind trouble, you can live in Chen's house. It's very lively there, but it's a bit far from the academy."

"Yes, Pingyang City is relatively peaceful now, and you are safe. You don't need my protection, but don't let your guard down. The big exam is coming soon, and I have to concentrate on my studies, so I won't bother you any more!"

"Well, I came here this time because I want to share a happy event with you. My second brother's marriage has been decided. He is the daughter of Shopkeeper He, He Xiaolian. The engagement banquet will be held at Wangchun Tower in ten days. Wangchun Tower is close to the academy, so you must come to attend. You don't need to bring any gifts. I have prepared everything for you."

"Okay, let's eat the antique pot! I will definitely go!"

Qiao Zien joked: "I wonder what kind of woman Gu Chuan will find in the future!"

Chen Ruotong was stunned at first, then teased him: "I'm still a child, why do you want to do it so early? Is Zien missing a little girl?"

Qiao Zien's face turned red, "Guchuan, don't talk nonsense, I'm younger than you." He looked angry and swung his sleeves.

Chen Ruotong saw that the little brother had a red face and looked particularly cute and funny when he was angry, so she said, "When Zi En gets married, I will arrange it for you and prepare a big gift for you. I will definitely bring the bride home in a grand manner!"

Hearing this, for some reason, Qiao Zien felt a pain in his heart. He felt very uncomfortable and a little suffocated.

Seeing that Qiao Zien didn't say anything, Chen Ruotong said, "To be honest, although we have the bodies of children, we have the hearts of adults. It's normal to want to get married. Why are you shy? Your actual age should be thirty-seven, right? I'm forty-seven, ten years older than you. What don't I know about love between men and women? We are all men, why are you afraid to talk about it?"

Qiao Zien said seriously: "I never had a love affair in my previous life, let alone a marriage. I don't want to in this life either. I want to build the Liang Dynasty well. If the emperor is a wise ruler, I will be a good minister. If he is a tyrant, I will rule the world."

Chen Ruotong gave a thumbs up and said: "Zi En is ambitious and deserves to be a martyr who sacrificed his life for the country. He deserves admiration!"

"Do you have beer? Let's drink some!"

"Zi En wants to drink, so we must have it!"

A table of barbecue, six bottles of beer, the two of them talked while drinking.

It was already night, and Chen Ruotong did not return to the Chen residence, but stayed at Qiao Zien's place.

Since both of them were drunk, Chen Ruotong did not go to the guest room, but slept on Qiao Zien's bed, which was her original bed.

In the early morning, the sun shines through the window into the room. Qiao Zien slowly opens his eyes and feels a splitting headache. His small body is not good enough, he gets drunk after drinking this little bit of wine. He sees Chen Ruotong sleeping beside him and wakes up instantly.

Qiao Zien blushed and his heart was beating fast. He got up quietly, afraid of waking up Chen Ruotong. After washing up, he went to the dining room and waited for Chen Ruotong to have breakfast together.

Chen Ruotong woke up later and thought: This little body, can't drink at all, drunk after drinking a little, so useless! Why is he still sleeping in Zien's bed? He is really drunk!

Chen Ruotong entered the space to wash up, changed her clothes, and after coming out, she entered the dining room.

"Good morning...Guchuan..." Qiao Zien said somewhat awkwardly.

"Well, good morning, Zien." Chen Ruotong sat on the chair. "We were all drunk last night. This little body really can't handle the alcohol! Sorry, I slept in your bed."

The two finished their breakfast in silence, and Chen Ruotong felt that the atmosphere was a little off.

"Zi En, I should go back. I've been busy with my second brother's blind date these days and haven't been to the store to check it out. I have to deliver some goods today." Chen Ruotong broke the silence.

"Okay, I'll take you there." Qiao Zien followed Chen Ruotong out of the door.

At the door, Chen Ruotong turned around, looked at Qiao Zien and said, "Zien, if you have anything to do, you can ask Tiedan to find me. If I have time, I will come to see you."

Qiao Zien smiled slightly, "Okay, Guchuan."

Chen Ruotong felt that Qiao Zien was a little weird today, and something seemed wrong.

Qiao Zien felt that a special feeling began to sprout in his heart, and gradually grew and spread!

He wanted to see him, but was afraid to see him; when he saw him, his heart beat fast and his face became hot. He knew that he was sick. What did he hate the most, but why did it happen? He was a little disgusted with himself!
