The sky is slightly bright, and the spring is cold.

Qixia Temple is very quiet, at least the backyard where the Taoist priests live daily is quiet, and if you listen carefully, you can hear a trace of sound, which is the rustle of a broom when it sweeps across the ground.

There was a rain last night, and it took about half an hour to sweep the yard, because I still wanted to pick up the red and bury it in the soil. Liang Ze likes to do this, like the leaves fall back into the soil for peace, let them moisten the soil, and the next year you can see a more gorgeous tree and flowers.

No one bothered, he could enjoy a rare and pure time, although his stomach was empty and his head was a little foggy, but fortunately, the wind blew, and the dark fragrance floated, which reminded him of the beautiful woman he met that day, and she also had an elegant taste that was both like the fragrance of flowers and not all of them.

The shadow swayed, his clothes fluttered, and fell in sight, he subconsciously raised his head, his body shook, and the broom fell to the ground.

With a faint smile, his eyebrows erected, and his eyes as firm as a mountain, he would never forget it after looking at it - it was the person who helped him drive away the naughty boy that day, the handsome and elegant woman like a fairy.

How did she come here, there seems to be no warning, and there is no sound, is she really a fairy, who can ride the clouds and fog and ride the wind and waves?

Liang Ze stayed where he was, watching her hand over a packet of steaming quiches, with sesame seeds embedded in the cakes and wrapped in a veil full of aroma.

"For you, take it." Shen Huan smiled gently, and there was a hint of encouragement, "I came out to do things so early, I must have not had time to eat." ”

Not only did he not eat in the morning, he had been hungry since last night, because he had to clean the hall and could not catch up with the meal, and when he arrived at the dining hall, he had already packed up his meals, and there was no more case for him. For him, this kind of thing has long been commonplace, and enduring hunger for a long time is a compulsory lesson for him.

Shen Huan knew his fate very well, and for several days she sneaked into Qixia Temple, and saw that he was called and drunk by Taoist priests, and the support was turned around, and every time he encountered him was cold words, and there were fists and kicks at every turn. The Taoist priest originally paid attention to Qing Xiu, but the rules are dead, who has not had a heart ape when the horse, no one is on him to rub two handfuls of oil, anyway, he is used to it, and he dare not make a noise when he is idle.

Such days, in a word, are in dire straits.

She looked at him with pity, realizing that he was at a loss at this moment, and looked at the quiche with a smile, but she didn't dare to take it, so she simply took one and handed it to him, and said with a smile, "You can take it and eat it for you." ”

He took it with both hands, carefully held it in the palm of his hand, and was reluctant to let go of even a scum, he was obviously hungry and screaming just now, and his head was dizzy, but he still didn't dare to gobble it up, and tried to eat as much as possible, as if this was the only way to not be profane, and the Shen girl in front of him was like an immortal.

Handing over the rest of the quiche to him, Shen Huan said, "I'm going to pass by here today on an errand, I came to see you by the way, and I'll come back another day when I'm free, how precious you are." After speaking, before he could react, he turned around leisurely and walked away, but his voice suddenly floated away, "Tell you my name, remember, my name is Shen Huan." ”

The man was gone, and only the warm quiche remained fragrant, as if in a dream. I repeated the name I had just learned over and over again, as if I had been frozen, until the sound of footsteps sounded in the courtyard, and I realized that I had only swept a corner of the open space in front of me. Hurriedly picked up the broom, couldn't help but laugh at herself, she just stopped by to take a look, maybe this is the first time, maybe the last time.

The experience of many years taught him that if there were no unrealistic hopes, there would be no despair and tragedy after the hope was lost.

Shen Huan did not appear again, but strange things happened in the dark, and everything was related to him. The people who have bullied him recently, without exception, have encountered more or less accidents, someone went out and tripped over a stake from nowhere, knocking out a front tooth; Someone drank a scorpion tiger from the porridge during a meal, and was so disgusted that he vomited even the overnight meal; There are also people who just go to the thatched house to relieve their hands, and they are inexplicably beaten with blue noses and swollen faces...... Strange things are frequent, causing the view to go crazy and rumored that there are goblins, and some people think of him together, and since then everyone has looked at him more and more strangely, revealing unspeakable disgust and contempt.

But no one bothered him anymore, and after a while, he was both scared and happy, after all, no one had ever stood up for him. But if he is doing well, will he never see her again? Thinking about it this way, there was another panic, and while people were not paying attention, he picked up the sharp gravel, gritted his teeth and slashed it on the slender and white wrist, and the blood was dripping and flowing down. He wondered in pain, if she had been watching herself in the dark, would he have caused her concern if he had been harming himself like this, even if he jumped out to stop him, as long as she could appear in front of him again.

As he wished, Shen Huan appeared in the early morning of the next day, and the morning breeze blew her skirt, like a Lingbo immortal.

After thinking about it for so long, he still couldn't say a word face to face, he hated his cowardice, but there was nothing he could do. The hand holding the incense case trembled slightly, but it trembled, and the sleeve slipped off, revealing the wounds on the wrist.

"How?" She tugged at his arm, twisted her eyebrows and asked, "Is someone bullying you?" ”

The skin that was touched seemed to be frozen, and half of his body was numb, he lowered his eyes and shook his head in a panic, "No, no, no......"

There was a bit of a sense of wanting to cover up, a subtle smile flashed at the corner of Shen Huan's mouth, how did Liangze's injury come about, she knew very well that people who seemed to be weak and deceitful actually had the same unpredictable scheming.

With a look of indignation and concern, she suddenly asked, "It's too much, this place can't stay any longer, would you like to go with me and make some travel for me in the future?" ”

He couldn't speak, he couldn't believe it, he knelt down in front of her with a puff, and kowtowed heavily, "Girl's great kindness, Liangze can't be repaid, I am willing to be a cow and horse for you to drive in this life." ”

Helped him up and wiped away the tears on his face, such a lovely child, how could she be willing to let him be a cow and horse, naturally there was a better errand to assign him to do.

Shen Huan didn't talk much, he just cared for him along the way. He was cautious, carefully considering every sentence, lest he would not upset her if he didn't answer well. He said that he lost his mother at the age of three, his father married his stepmother, and when he was six or seven years old, his family found that he had an abnormality in his body, and asked the doctor that he might not even be able to pass on the family in the future. The stepmother blew a pillow in his father's ear, saying that he was a freak and a waste, and it would be a shame for the good family to raise him in the future. He had nowhere to go, so he caught up with a Taoist priest who asked him a few words, and he begged people hard, so he followed the Taoist priest to Guanli to make a living.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Huan's face, for fear of seeing those familiar contempts on her face. But no, she just sighed, lamenting his ill-fated fate, and looked at him with even more pity. The girl was really a kind person, as noble as a bodhisattva, and had compassion in his heart, and he was 120,000 grateful, and thus he was even more ashamed of himself.

followed Shen Huan into the five-entry mansion, Liang Ze seemed to be stepping on cotton under his feet, and it turned out that the girl was born rich. She led him to the wing, which was elegantly furnished, and the gilded censer was filled with the sweet smell of Canaan.

"You'll live here from now on." She instructed with a smile, "The family is small, and there are only four of you." I said that I don't want anyone to serve you, but in fact, you are only here for a scene, and you don't have to serve in front of me in your daily life. ”

So what does he do? Looking around the whole room, it is so big and spacious, like a guest house, and like a host. He looked terrified, "Girl, is this so, isn't it?" I, I live on the second gate, and it's convenient for you to summon me......" plucked up his courage, but he still didn't dare to look at her, "You are around...... Do you really need people? I, you know, I, I'm different from normal men, no, I won't trouble you, just serve tea and water, I, I can do it. ”

Shen Huan smiled, what she said was right, but she was not a forbidden palace here, so she couldn't call him as a minister, not to mention that there was still Gu Cheng who had to pass.

"Otherwise, you can be by my side if you want to, but you are wronged, you can't be like this, after all, there is a male owner in the family, and my husband will not be very happy when he sees you." Speaking of the word husband, seeing that he was suffocated, she pretended not to care, she continued, "I see that you are so delicate, even if you pretend to be a girl, you can't see the flaws, why don't you simply change your outfit and be my girl?" ”

He opened his mouth, his lips quivering slightly, and the mention of yì made him feel embarrassed. But at the thought of being able to stay by her side, he felt that it didn't matter what he pretended to be, and nodded yes, he asked again, "Then I should call you a big / grandma, the uncle of the family, aren't you at home on weekdays?" ”

Shen Huan knew that he was worried, and smiled soothingly, "You can just call him the third master when you go back, don't worry, the master's temperament is the most kind, and he will never embarrass you." ”

He nodded sneeringly, and the apprehension in his heart finally disappeared until the moment he saw Gu Cheng. The girl is right, the third master is a generous and benevolent person at first glance. He has a gentle demeanor, speaks kindly, and cares for people he meets for the first time. It's just that he was wearing a girl's clothes, uncomfortable, and after a moment of reply, he couldn't even decide where to put his hand.

"If you need anything in the future, just say that the family is not large, and there is not so much attention. You don't have to worry about my affairs, just serve the girl with peace of mind. ”

When he said a word, Liangze responded with a word, and he didn't dare to slack off at all.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Shen Huan blinked and smiled at Gu Chengyu, "There's nothing to do, just come and tell him to rest." ”

She waved her hand to send Liang Ze away, and he hurriedly bowed and retreated, only to bend down, and suddenly remembered that he was a girl now, and he should ask for a squatting salute. This time he showed his feet, will the third master see it immediately?

Frightened, he raised his eyes and secretly looked at Gu Cheng, without a strange expression, as if he didn't care too much. He took a long breath and looked at Shen Huan. She was still smiling slightly, she didn't pay attention to herself at all, and her eyes were fixed on Gu Cheng at this moment.

What kind of look is that? Tenderness, full of affection, the eyes are warmer than the autumn sun, and more beautiful than the spring water.

She only has him in her eyes, and she can't see herself at all. He couldn't help but feel sad, hung his head in shame, and silently withdrew from the upper room.

"Why do you suddenly remember to be served? How many times have you said it before, but you have said no. "When the people left, Gu Cheng hì suo fanned the trees according to the secluded mu

Shen Huan nodded, reassuring him and explaining Liangze's life experience roughly, but hiding the two parts of his male body and heavenly eunuch.

Gu Cheng just smiled when he heard it, and glanced at her meaningfully, "When did you have more compassion?" Such a pity for the jade. ”

She glared and replied dissatisfied, "What's the matter, am I always hard-hearted?" That's what you think of me. ”

She pouted, her eyes full of coquettishness. This will probably only be shown in front of him, he looked at it with a straight smile, shook his head, and said, "I didn't think so, but you are really unexpected this time, and it inevitably makes me feel a little abnormal." ”

He sat down beside her and kneaded her hand, "If you encounter something or have any thoughts, don't hide it from me. We are about to become husband and wife, and the most important thing for husband and wife is to trust each other. There are too many secrets hidden in my heart, and I refuse to tell them, and there will definitely be problems after a long time. ”

She knew that he was suspicious, and although he was lenient, he was not delicate, not to mention that he was a smart person. But a secret is a secret, because the dearest and beloved ones can't be completely explained. Since he can't tell the truth about his intentions, he can only prevaricate and talk about him left and right.

"Where do you get so many secrets, it's just to bring someone home as a companion, and it's boring to be alone during the day, who told you to never accompany me." She slapped a rake, and even coaxed and deceived, "You are experienced in business, you can't believe anyone, it's not good to go on like this, sooner or later even I don't think it's true." ”

He laughed, his eyebrows and eyes were pure and flawless, and he gently pinched the tip of her nose, "You are a person with a criminal record, I can't help but guard against it." He stared at her half-jokingly, "I don't want another one to be in trouble at home." ”

He really understands her, he doesn't have to say anything, just use these words to point out her. However, their eyes met, each other was cautious, and there was less tenderness and sweetness, and they couldn't support each other for a moment.

Temptations without results, time and time again, have failed. There was an invisible mountain in the middle of them. She knew, and he could feel it.

Then love her in a way that you can communicate, sincerely from the bottom of your heart, and from your heart. She also gave selflessness and full devotion, looking at him with eyes full of heat, and a thick envy that could not be dissolved.

Looking at her demeanor, in the moment before climbing to the peak, it became clear to him that her feelings for him already contained respect, and he could appreciate it without revealing too much.

If a woman can't respect a man, it will be difficult to fall in love with this man wholeheartedly.

Then he could choose to believe her again, that person was right under his nose, and it was a timid description, he observed it many times, and only felt that such caution and trembling were not at all pretend, but like innate, what could such a person do? And how can it help her? I'm afraid that I'm still too careful, he has given her enough stability and happiness, and if she goes on like this, little by little, and eats away step by step, even if she can't completely eliminate her hatred, at least she can always be cherished and cared for in their love.

He still tried his best to put off socializing, and spent as much time as possible with her. Just after noon, he bought the osmanthus sugar lotus that had just arrived in Beijing from Songjiang Mansion, put it in the red food box, and prepared to go home to give her and the gluttonous cat Xiaohu a taste.

She was not in the upper room, she looked around, and she didn't see anyone, so she didn't bother to go back to the door and ask Cangtou again, but after thinking about it, she still went to the side room and asked Liang Ze if she knew where she went.

The door was closed, he hesitated for a moment, the other party was a girl and it was not good to enter directly, knocked on the door, no one answered, but he listened to it clearly.

Gently push the door in, the outside is empty, and I see a figure through the screen, thinking that I am changing clothes. Then go out first, and ask again when she is ready. Fang had to turn around and realize that something was wrong, and the shadow that fell on the mica screen was a man's appearance, wearing a wide Taoist robe and a bun on his head.

Strange and strange, his steps lightly bypassed the screen, and the picture that caught his eyes surprised him, Liang Ze was dressed as a man, smiling slightly at the floor-to-ceiling bronze mirror, the expression on his face was quite difficult to grasp, as if he was deliberately imitating someone. The most paradoxical thing is the cyan robe on his body, which is the one he usually wears on weekdays.

Another person appeared in a trance in the mirror, Liang Ze hurriedly covered his mouth, turned his head sharply, saw the person clearly, and was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground.

Gu Cheng's eyebrows were tightly locked, his expression was stern, and he was staring at his face coldly.
