Because of excessive sadness, Wang Jinxuan finally fell asleep quietly in Zhou Chong's arms. She still didn't wake up until they got on the boat. In the end, Zhou Chong had no choice but to carry her into the cabin on the boat to rest. However, Zhou

When she put Wang Jinxuan on the bed again, she found that the other party was holding her sleeve tightly, as if this could make her feel a sense of security.

Zhou Chong was helpless and had to sit by the bed to accompany Wang Jinxuan. However, he was tired for a day, and the ship began to leave the port at this time. Under the caress of the waves, the ship was also shaking a little.

Just like a baby's shaker, Zhou Chong finally felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and he actually fell asleep beside the bed.

In her sleep, Wang Jinxuan had a long dream. In the dream, she seemed to be back when she was a child. She ran around the garden with her temples tied around. The garden was filled with the sound of her laughing, while her father sat in the garden.

In the small pavilion, he looked at himself playing with a smile on his lips.

But soon this peaceful life was broken. A group of Jinyiwei in flying fish suits rushed in like a ferocious evil spirit, tied up her father without saying a word, and then escorted her to the prison car. She stretched out her little hand to stop her, but

She was a small and weak person and could not stop anyone at all. In the end, she could only watch her father be captured, and the prison car gradually drifted away and was about to disappear under the horizon.

"No!" Wang Jinxuan suddenly screamed in shock and sat up from the bed. Her whole body was covered in sweat, and her hair on her forehead was wet, tightly pressing against her white skin.

Zhou Chong, who was sleeping on the bed, was frightened by Wang Jinxuan's screams, and his whole body shivered. He sat up all of a sudden. When he saw Wang Jinxuan sitting on the bed with a frightened face, he realized it.

At that moment, he hurriedly comforted him: "Don't be afraid Jinxuan. We are on the boat back to Shuangyu Port, and Uncle Wang will definitely be fine!"

At this time, Wang Jinxuan finally woke up from the scare of the nightmare. When she saw Zhou Chong always with her side, and her hands were actually pulling his clothes, she couldn't help but blush and she hurriedly let go

He apologized with both hands: "Jinxuan lost her composure and disturbed Brother Zhou Shi!"

"It's okay, you must be hungry now. I'll ask someone to prepare something to eat. Don't say you don't want to eat, otherwise your body will collapse. I can't explain it to Uncle Wang in the future!" Zhou Chong said without waiting for Wang Jinxuan to agree, and turned around.

He left the cabin, and then he realized that it was already bright and gloomy outside, and it seemed that the first half of the night was almost over.

Zhou Chong came to the cooking position on the boat. The ship he was riding on was a large ocean-going ship from the chamber of commerce. His hull was damaged before. Therefore, he could no longer walk far away, so he could only run near the boat. The hull of this kind of ship was huge. There was a special one on the boat.

There are also chefs who specialize in cooking in the kitchen, but it was already midnight at this time. Except for the boatmen who were working on the boat, everyone else was already asleep.

Zhou Xin put the lamp on the lamp and flipped it in the kitchen, but found that there were a lot of fresh ingredients, and the coal fire in the stove was not extinguished, so he simply turned on the coal fire and fryed two side dishes by himself. It was very simple, the same

Fried cabbage like fried eggs, and also cooked a small pot of white porridge. Of course, these were not for Wang Jinxuan to eat alone. He hadn't eaten for almost a day. Now he is very hungry and can just eat them together.

When Zhou Chong returned to the cabin with the food, Wang Jinxuan had already sat up and washed her face with water. This made her look a little energetic, but her eyes were still red, and there was a hint of melancholy between her eyebrows and eyes.

.

Zhou Chong put the food on the table at this time, then smiled and greeted Wang Jinxuan, "The chef on the boat is already asleep, so I made a little by myself. If Jinxuan doesn't dislike it, come and taste my skills.

Cheye and Duoer like to eat the food I cook the most!”

When Wang Jinxuan heard that these foods were made by Zhou Chong himself, she was very surprised, and her attention was shifted from the grief of her father being escorted back to Beijing. Then she asked strangely: "Brother Zhou Shi still knows how to cook?

”

Zhou Chong knew that Wang Jinxuan would definitely ask this, and this was also the way he deliberately wanted the other party to divert his attention. Therefore, he smiled and said funnyly: "Although the saint said that a gentleman stayed away from the kitchen, I would bet that the saint

When saying this, someone must have cooked for him. If he lets him live for a few years, he may have developed a good cooking skill!"

Hearing Zhou Chong's explanation of Mencius and making jokes about the saint, Wang Jinxuan couldn't help but feel very interesting. She couldn't help laughing out loud, but her father-in-law was short-lived and soon she was

The sadness in the heart is occupied.

Seeing this, Zhou Chong also knew that it was not easy to tease Wang Jinxuan again at this time. He immediately greeted the other party again and said, "Jinxuan, sit down quickly and taste my cooking skills. I know you have no appetite now, so I did two things.

A light side dish and white porridge, let’s take a break after breakfast…”

Zhou Chong was suddenly stunned when he said this. Because he found some ambiguity in his words, he hurriedly explained again: "I mean I went back to my cabin to rest, not here..."

Zhou Chong found that the more he explained, the more embarrassed he felt. Wang Jinxuan tugged her little head deeply into her chest, and her ears turned cute pink because of shyness. So Zhou Chong simply stopped explaining and sat down and silently gave the other party to Sheng.

The porridge was good, and then handed over, but Wang Jinxuan almost knocked over the bowl when she received the porridge because she was shy.

Because Zhou Chong's unintentional words made the atmosphere in the cabin a bit awkward and a bit ambiguous. Wang Jinxuan lowered her head and drank the porridge gently, while Zhou Chong ate as fast as possible and prepared to finish her breakfast and leave as soon as possible.

At this moment, Wang Jinxuan, who was still blushing on her face suddenly raised her head and said, "Brother Zhou Shi, I heard from my father that you seem to have the intention to give up your career. I wonder if this is true?"

Zhou Chong was stunned when he heard this, not understanding why Wang Jinxuan suddenly asked about this, but he still answered: "I'm not giving up completely, but you know what happened at home. Since my father passed away, I've become a family.

The only man, as the eldest brother of Jianer and Duoer, naturally I have to take on the responsibility of supporting the family, and at the same time I have to find a way to revive the family business, so I took over my father's business."

When Zhou said this, he paused a lot, and then said the reason for convincing Wang Lun: "In addition, the eunuch party in the court is now taking power, and the court is dark. I even heard that the officials in the court will be promoted as long as they are promoted.

, I have to give Liu Jin a gift, called "congratulations and seal money", ranging from a few thousand taels to tens of thousands taels. With such rules, even if you pass the exam, what if you have to submit to the exam, do you have to submit?

Under the tyranny of these eunuchs?"

When Zhou Chong spoke at the end, he also showed a righteous expression on his face, as if he really disdained to be with Liu Jin and others. Unfortunately, only he himself knew that the basics of ancient Chinese in his belly would be.

I went to take the conference exam, and I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the provincial exam again.

However, Wang Jinxuan naturally didn't know what happened to Zhou Chong. In her eyes, Zhou Chong was still the talented man who passed the exam at the age of 14 and wrote Journey to the West at the age of 15. He used his talent to describe his prospective husband as his talented husband.

That's perfect. Therefore, when she saw Zhou Chong telling two reasons for giving up and giving up his career, she couldn't help but admire him even more. The previous reason shows that Zhou Chong is a responsible person who knows how to give up, and the latter reason further proves that Zhou Chong

His character and all made Wang Jinxuan more satisfied with Zhou Chong, and even felt a little secretly happy.

With Wang Jinxuan taking the initiative to break the embarrassment between the two, Zhou Chong no longer cared about eating, but started to chat with Wang Jinxuan while eating. Speaking of which, this is the first time they have said so much since the two first met.

In other words, through this chat, Zhou Chong and Wang Jinxuan have deepened their understanding of each other, and this has brought the two sides closer.

In addition, Wang Jinxuan also praised Zhou Chong's cooking skills. Although it was just two very ordinary side dishes, Zhou Chong's fried food was just right, which was comparable to the skills of some chefs. This made Zhou Chong very happy.

Finally, he was so proud that he blurted out and said, "Jinxuan, if you like to eat, I can make it for you every day in the future!"

As a result, as soon as Zhou Chong said the words, he immediately felt something was wrong, because the meaning expressed by this sentence was too ambiguous. After listening to it, Wang Jinxuan immediately lowered her head again, and her face was also blushing. However, Zhou Chong didn't expect it to be

Although Wang Jinxuan was shy, she nodded slightly and said softly "Oh" as a response to Zhou Chong. With the education she received since childhood, it is already very rare to be able to make such a bold move.

.

But at this moment, Zhou Chong smiled bitterly in his heart, and at the same time he wanted to slap himself hard. He blamed his stinky mouth, just eat, but he insisted on chatting, and it would be fine to chat, but he even said these things.

If Wang Jinxuan misunderstood, now he has given him the following response. How should he mention the matter of breaking the engagement in the future?

Thinking of this, Zhou Chong's face couldn't help but look up at him. Fortunately, Wang Jinxuan was just shy and did not dare to look up at him. Only then did she notice the strangeness on Zhou Chong's face.

After finally finishing the meal, Zhou Chong hurriedly said goodbye and returned to his room with an excuse, but he was not sleepy at all. Thinking of the relationship between himself and Xie Lingyun and Wang Jinxuan, he felt a great headache.

Xie Lingyun's father Xie Da asked him to withdraw from the Wang family's marriage within a month, but because of Wang Lun's accident and Xie Lingyun's persuasion, the deadline was removed. However, judging from the current situation, it seems that he wants to break off the engagement more and more.
