Seeing Xiao Hanzheng staring at him in a daze.
Zhuo Jun asked: “Jinyu, why are you looking at me like that?”
Xiao Hanzheng smiled calmly: “Just now I smelled a very nice orchid scent, and I was in a trance.”
Zhuo Jun’s eyes flashed: “Really? Do you like the scent of orchids, too?”
Xiao Hanzheng nodded: “I think it smells very good.”
The three women at home do smell very good with orchid-scented aromatherapy, but as for the others, he doesn’t feel anything.
And his wife preferred fruity aromatherapy.
Sometimes apples, sometimes oranges, sometimes limes, etc., which make him want to hold her, smell her, and kiss her.
Thinking of this, he suddenly missed his wife.
Hearing Xiao Hanzheng say that he thought the smell was good, Zhuo Jun’s face could not help but turn red: “I like this smell too.”
If his wife hadn’t reminded him before, Xiao Hanzheng would not have paid much attention to Zhuo Jun’s reaction.
But now that he saw that the other party was blushing, he was a little confused.
Zhuo Jun wouldn’t like him, right?
But he doesn’t look like someone who likes men!
Because of this, Xiao Hanzheng kept paying attention to Zhuo Jun during the following chat time.
He found that Zhuo Jun would peek at me from time to time.
Kung Fu tea is now popular in the capital, so everyone sits around the stove and brews Kung Fu tea when they get together.
Xiao Hanzheng found that Zhuo Jun was the one who brewed it every time. He hadn’t noticed it before, but now he found that the other party’s hands were very white and delicate.
Although his hands were also white, they were completely different from Zhuo Jun’s.
How to say it, Zhuo Jun’s hands were more like his wife’s hands.
Of course, his young wife’s hands were more beautiful and soft.
After drinking tea for a while, Fang Zhijun asked everyone to go to the yard to appreciate the flowers.
Xiao Hanzheng looked at Zhuo Jun’s feet and found another problem. The other party’s feet were not big.
It didn’t look like the size of men of their age.
This made him a little suspicious.
Then everyone was inspired to write poems, and Xiao Hanzheng also wrote one to cope with it.
At this time, Fang Zhijun asked the maid to bring wine.
“This is the pear blossom wine brewed by my family’s winery. Let’s taste it.”
After he finished speaking, he smiled picked up a glass, and drank it all.
Everyone knew that Fang Zhijun’s family was a big merchant in the north city, a wine-making family for generations.
The business was being done in the capital, so there was an industry in the capital.
Xiao Hanzheng took a sip and thought the taste was average, but it was novel.
Looking at the turbid pear blossom wine, he remembered that his wife said she knew a way to make pure white wine.
He immediately lost interest in drinking.
However, others praised the taste of the wine, and he responded.
Suddenly, the maid who brought the wine was accidentally tripped by a branch on the ground, and the wine she was carrying spilled.
And the wine just spilled on Xiao Hanzheng and Zhuo Jun.
Xiao Hanzheng’s martial arts perception was also very sharp, so he could see that the maid didn’t do it on purpose.
Fang Zhijun couldn’t help but scold the maid for a few words when he saw this.
“Jinyu, Henglong, I’m so sorry that my maid is so clumsy.”
“I don’t have any other clothes prepared in my yard.”
“How about I take you to the wing room not far away to wipe it and dry it with a hand warmer.”
Originally, Xiao Hanzheng wanted to refuse.
But after hearing Zhuojun’s approval and the other party constantly looking at him, he changed his mind.
“Okay, then I’ll trouble Brother Zhijun.”
So the three of them went to the wing room not far away.
Fang Zhijun went to find a clean towel for the two of them and asked someone to get a hand warmer.
Only Xiao Hanzheng and Zhuo Jun were left in the room. Zhuo Jun walked forward, looking like he wanted to sit on a chair.
Who knew that he accidentally twisted his foot and suddenly fell towards Xiao Hanzheng, who was a step slower than him?
If it were in the past, Xiao Hanzheng would have avoided it immediately.
But to prove his guess, he took the initiative to reach out and hold Zhuo Jun.
One of his hands just grabbed Zhuo Jun’s wrist, and his fingertips were placed on the other party’s pulse.
However, he did not let the other party lean on his arms. After helping Zhuo Jun stand steadily, he let go.
Zhuo Jun turned his head and blushed: “Jinyu, I’m sorry, I accidentally sprained my ankle.”
Xiao Hanzheng smiled politely and asked: “Are you okay now?”
Zhuo Jun shook his head: “It’s okay.”
At this time, Fang Zhijun came back with a handkerchief.
Xiao Hanzheng and Zhuo Jun both wiped the wet places.
Zhuo Jun lets the maid use the hand warmer to dry his clothes.
Xiao Hanzheng refused the maid’s service and took the hand warmer and placed it in the wet place.
Fang Zhijun smiled and joked: “Jinyu, I see you have maids to serve you at home, and there are Henglong and I here, so you don’t have to avoid suspicion like this.”
Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said: “I already have a wife, so I have to keep my distance from other women and maids.”
When these words came out, Zhuo Jun’s smile paused.
Fang Zhijun laughed: “I heard that you were henpecked before, but I didn’t expect it to be true.”
At the flower-viewing banquet of the Qi Family, Xiao Hanzheng said in front of everyone that he liked his wife’s toughness.
At that time, they were all shocked. They didn’t expect Xiao Hanzheng to be such a wife-loving person.
Privately, some people suspected that Xiao Hanzheng was acting.
But from the fact that Xiao Hanzheng avoided the maids today and did it himself, it can be seen that the other party loves Shi Qingluo.
Xiao Hanzheng smiled: “It’s not henpecked, it’s just that I love my wife.”
Zhuo Jun suddenly said: “Will you take a concubine in the future?”
Xiao Hanzheng shook his head seriously: “My wife is enough for me in this life, so I won’t take a concubine.”
Zhuo Jun’s eyes showed some yearning: “Does Jinyu want to be with one person for the rest of his life?”
Many men in this world are promiscuous and have three wives and four concubines.
Xiao Hanzheng nodded: “Yes.”
Zhuo Jun asked again, “Will you not change?”
Xiao Hanzheng shook his head: “She is enough for the rest of my life.”
Zhuo Jun’s smile was a little forced: “She must be very happy to marry you.”
Xiao Hanzheng smiled: “I’m very happy to marry my wife.”
Speaking of his wife, the smile on Xiao Hanzheng’s face felt much sincerer, and there was a smile between his eyebrows.
It looks like he was very happy to have his wife.
Fang Zhijun smiled and said: “Jinyu and your wife have an excellent relationship. I envy you two for being able to communicate with each other like this.”
Xiao Hanzheng looked at him and said: “You and your wife can also be harmonious and happy.”
Before Fang Zhijun spoke, Zhuo Jun on the side said: “He already has several concubines in the backyard. He can’t give his wife a harmonious and happy life, and it’s even harder for them to communicate with each other.”
This sounded a bit sarcastic.
Fang Zhijun was stunned, but he was not unhappy.
After all, what Zhuo Jun said was true. He had a wife and concubines, and he had never thought about being together for life.
So he couldn’t understand Xiao Hanzheng.
He envied that Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo could communicate with each other, but he didn’t agree with Xiao Hanzheng’s practice of marrying only one person.
Of course, he wouldn’t bring it up, after all, everyone has their ideas.
He said: “I don’t have a chance, but Henglong, you do.”
He smiled and teased: “After passing the imperial examination this time, you will also go back to marry a wife, right?”
