CHAPTER XXXVI

Before getting into the carriage, Su Yan hesitated for a long time, and stopped talking to Dou Xian.

If it is Zhongkang, who is mentally incomplete, it is understandable to follow her, but he has recovered as usual, clearly remembers his identity, as the prime minister of the dynasty, he has been more than a year away from the dynasty, and now he doesn't want to return to the court, but follows her back to the small mountain village, this move feels a little ...... Doesn't make sense.

What made Su Yan even more ignorant of what to say was Dou Xian's attitude, only to see him standing by the carriage very naturally waiting for her to get into the carriage, as if it was a natural thing for the prime minister to put down the situation and sneak around in a small mountain village.

Selfishly speaking, Su Yan naturally doesn't want to be separated from Dou Xian, what woman is willing to be separated from her sweetheart? But at the same time, Su Yan also knew very clearly that it was impossible for Dou Xian to stay in a small mountain village all the time, and if he stayed in this unknown remote county, he would return to Chang'an sooner or later and return to the place that really belonged to him.

If that day would come sooner or later, Su Yan would rather offer to let him go than wait until he said he wanted to leave. This is probably the last bit of pride that Su Yan wants to maintain in front of Dou Xian.

Su Yan's hesitation Dou Xian naturally knew, but he pretended to be unaware, and lowered his head to Su Yan, who was standing next to the car and didn't move, "What's wrong?" ”

"Huh?" Su Yan came back to her senses, turned sideways a little to prevent Dou Xian from discovering her abnormality, and shook her head lightly: "No, it's nothing." ”

still didn't speak, after all, he was reluctant.

As soon as the words fell, she avoided Dou Xian's desire to hold her arm, stepped on the low stool and got into the carriage, with a hint of running away from the wilderness.

Dou Xian retracted his empty hand, hooked the corners of his mouth in a good mood, and followed him into the carriage.

Compared with the unassuming appearance, the carriage of this carriage is full of traces of elaborate arrangement, and the only fly in the ointment is that the space is somewhat small.

Originally, this carriage was probably only for one person to ride, and there were two long and soft pillows fixed on both sides of the carriage, and only the middle part was left for people to sit on.

Su Yan and Dou Xian's bodies were almost next to each other, with the shaking of the carriage, Dou Xian's body rubbed against Su Yan's body from time to time, it felt really strange, Su Yan could only try her best to shrink her body, but even so, she still couldn't avoid the physical contact between the two.

Silence, silence. There was silence in the carriage, and the discomfort in Su Yan's heart became stronger and stronger, and she lowered her eyes to look at the gilded beast pattern on the small table in front of her knee towards the crown-eared three-legged copper furnace, and white smoke rose from the furnace, bringing bursts of cold fragrance of plum blossoms.

This fragrance is clear, smelling it as if seeing the cold plum and the snow open alone, it makes people feel calm unconsciously, smelling this cold plum fragrance, Su Yan's restraint in her heart gradually disappeared, attracted by the fragrance, she couldn't help leaning over slightly, and sniffed lightly.

Agarwood, stack incense, chicken tongue incense, sandalwood, musk, Huoxiang, tonka, nail incense......

Su Yan sniffed again, her eyebrows frowned, and she was still blind.

But she thought about it for a long time, but she didn't think of which spice could bring out such a pleasant cold fragrance.

When he was puzzled, a deep magnetic voice came from his ear: "Dipterocarp." ”

Seeing Su Yan looking back at him, Dou Xian's face became softer and softer, and he repeated in a low voice: "Dipterocarp." ”

Su Yan's eyes lit up and murmured, "Yes......"

The so-called plum fragrance is more about the cold pride of plum blossoms, rather than the aroma of plums, and among the many spices, it is the dipterocarp that can show the cold taste in this way.

"Agarwood seven taels two coins, stack incense five taels, chicken tongue incense four taels, sandalwood, musk two taels each, Huoxiang six coins, Lingling incense four coins, a fragrance two coins, a little dipterocarp, pound Luo fine, refining honey and even, pills are as big as beans." Dou Xian smiled and slowly recited the incense recipe in his memory.

Princess Shouyang plum blossom incense, this is the favorite incense of the little wife in the previous life.

After marrying into the Prime Minister's Mansion, the little wife fell in love with the fragrance, the fragrance of the plum blossom fragrance of Princess Shouyang was improved by her careful blending, compared with the original aroma more cold fragrance and less sweet.

Thinking about why Su Yan likes to spice up, Dou Xian's eyes are a little more painful.

Xiao Jiao's wife has been practicing medicine for several years, and her medical skills are her most important skills, and the development of ancient prescriptions to cure diseases and save people has long become her favorite thing, but for his face, in order not to let those women and nobles in Chang'an City who do not know the so-called women and nobles criticize, she has been married for more than two years, and she has never dared to show her ability to rejuvenate her hands openly.

The nobles and ladies of Chang'an City are all from a big family, no matter how poor they are, they are also scholars, all of them regard themselves very high and their eyes are above the top, although they dare not do anything blatantly because of fear, but in the end because of the origin of the little wife looks down on her, after a long time, the little wife consciously can't integrate into their circle, and falls in love with perfume every day when she is bored, and uses all the leisure time in Su Ri to make spices.

first took her back to Chang'an against her wishes, and forced her to marry him with a holy decree, but after getting married, he couldn't give her real happiness and pleasure.

All the things of the previous life passed in front of him, Dou Xian closed his eyes, hiding the pain in his eyes, and his gaze gently fell on Su Yan's side face.

It's okay, it's good that he can do it again. This time he will let her take back what really belongs to her, so that those noble ladies will no longer dare to look down on her!

The carriage slammed into a bump, Su Yan's body was unstable and fell crookedly on Dou Xian's body, and in order to stabilize her body in a hurry, she grabbed Dou Xian's clothes in a panic.

Now Su Yan is facing Dou Xian, half of his body is in his arms, but Dou Xian is sitting with an indifferent face, if it is seen by others, he will definitely think that Su Yan is in his arms.

Realizing that her current posture was quite ambiguous, Su Yan was shocked, and hurriedly let go of Dou Xian's placket and supported the carriage to straighten her body, but before she could sit up, the carriage was another bump, and she fell back into Dou Xian's arms again, and even her cheeks touched the embroidery on Dou Xian's placket, and the silver silk embroidery had a hint of coolness, which was in stark contrast to Su Yan's face that was about to burn.

With her face buried in Dou Xian's arms, Su Yan bit her lip in annoyance, secretly annoyed that the little guy who drove the car had such bad driving skills!

Dou Xian lowered his head slightly and took the little wife's already red ears into his eyes, and quietly added a little smile to his dark eyes, he raised his arm to lift her up under Su Yan's armpit, "Be careful." ”

's serious appearance provoked Su Yan to look at him a few times.

***

There was no word all the way, the carriage drove into the small mountain village, and now it was the time to finish eating, and every household lit the cooking smoke, and there were few people on the road, which saved a lot of trouble.

The carriage drove smoothly up the dirt slope and stopped in front of Su Yan's house, and the little guy driving jumped out of the car, "Junhou, it's here." ”

Dou Xian pushed open the carriage door and jumped out of the carriage, then turned around and helped Su Yan get out of the carriage, the two entered the courtyard together, and after a while, the black-clothed little guy also came in, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he bowed slightly towards Su Yan, and said in a voice like Hong Zhong: "Subordinate Peng Lei has seen Madame!" ”

Su Yan was collecting the clothes that had been dried in the courtyard, and when she heard this, she looked choked, glanced at Dou Xian on the side, and quickly took the remaining clothes on the hemp rope into her arms and entered her own room without looking back, leaving the two masters and servants in the courtyard, one high and one low, facing each other.

Peng Lei obviously didn't expect Su Yan to react like this, he scratched the back of his head in confusion and looked at Dou Xian, "Junhou, have you made Madame unhappy?" ”

This time it was Dou Xian's turn to choke, looking at Peng Lei's stunned appearance, Dou Xian resisted the urge to hold his forehead, and ordered seriously: "The prime minister and Miss Su have not yet married, it will inevitably miss Miss Su's reputation, don't call Mrs. again in the future." ”

Peng Lei nodded as if he didn't understand, but muttered in his mouth: "The most famous girl from a bad family is not you, the prince......" He listened to Peng Qiu! Also, when he called his wife like that just now, the prince was obviously very happy.

Dou Xian naturally didn't miss Peng Lei's low muttering, and almost immediately thought of who told Peng Lei about those things, and he narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Peng Qiu, very good.

Peng Qiu, who was far away in Chang'an on an errand, sneezed without warning, he rubbed his nose and looked up at the sky.

Hey? Why do you feel a chill on a big solar day?

***

Dou Xian's identity had already spread in the small mountain village, and everyone originally thought that Dou Xian had recovered and would not return to the small mountain village as usual, but the next day he saw the carriage in front of Su Yan's house.

So, despite being surprised and shocked, everyone in the small mountain village still couldn't hide their curiosity, and gathered in front of Su Yan's door one by one, wanting to take a look at the rumored Dou Xiang.

What the? Didn't you say you'd seen Zhongkang before?

Everyone waved their hands, how could Zhong Kang, who was stupid and stupid, and Dou Cheng, who was outstanding, compare with Dou Cheng! It's not the same, it's not the same!

People who are not very familiar with Su Yan can naturally only pretend to pass by unintentionally outside the door, stretch their necks to take a look, and those who have more contacts with Su Yan, such as Aunt Liu's family, were directly invited into the house by Su Yan.

Although Aunt Liu is a cool person, but it is also facing ordinary people, and now against Dou Xian, Aunt Liu is no matter how cool it is, as soon as she enters the door, she will drag Xia Hua, who is going to pester Dou Xian, to kneel and kowtow.

Su Yan regarded Aunt Liu as half of her mother-in-law, how dare Dou Xian really accept her courtesy, and immediately held Aunt Liu's arm, "Auntie doesn't have to be polite, you are the elder of medicine, and naturally you are also my elder, just when I am an ordinary junior in the family." ”

"This, this ......" Aunt Liu was embarrassed, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Su Yan nodding lightly at her, she gritted her teeth and nodded in response, "Okay." ”

Xia Hua couldn't wait to see Dou Xian, the little girl had heard that the storyteller had told Dou Xian about □□ years old, and she had been secretly fascinated by this prime minister who had not been able to worship the weak crown and was praised by everyone in Dayu, and now she found that Zhong Kang, a fool who had been playing for more than a year, was the rumored god-like character, how could she not be surprised!

"Prime Minister Dou!" Xia Hua broke free of Aunt Liu's hand and leaned towards Dou Xian, holding her cheeks in her hands and looking up and down, left and right, and then nodded after a while: "It turns out that this is the prime minister!" ”

Su Yan thought she was going to say something, but she thought that she had waited for a long time to only wait for this sentence, so she couldn't help laughing out loud, pinched Xia Hua's baby fat cheeks, and asked, "Then what do you think the prime minister should be?" ”

Xia Hua slapped Su Yan's hand away, "Sister Su Yan! I'm 12 years old, don't pinch my face anymore, it won't look good again! ”

Su Yan didn't obey her wishes, reached out and poked again, and then stopped.

Xia Hua pouted and pressed the place on her face that had been pinched by Su Yan, and jumped on the kang with her support, "Hmm...... I thought about it, I used to think that the prime ministers were all white-bearded old men, with a straight face like the gentleman in the private school, but after I heard from Mr. Storytell, I realized that we still have such a young prime minister, but I didn't expect the prime minister to be so good-looking, so I said! The fool Zhongkang must not be an ordinary person! ”

The little girl was wearing a rose-red jacket and a white flowered dress, combing her hair, her legs swaying along the edge of the kang, her words were crisp, and she was innocent.

Aunt Liu was so anxious that she looked at her directly, for fear that Xia Hua would accidentally offend Dou Xian, Su Yan saw it in her eyes and patted the back of her hand silently to signal that she didn't have to worry, and turned to Xia Hua and said, "How do you know that Zhong Kang is not an ordinary person?" ”

Xia Hua showed a natural look and said, "Because he is the best-looking man I have ever seen!" ”

Su Yan couldn't help laughing, nodded her forehead and said, "If you look good, you're not an ordinary person?" ”

"Hmm!" Xia Hua nodded vigorously, propped her hands on her side, rested her chin on Su Yan's arm, raised her head and blinked her eyes, and said, "Sister Su Yan, you are not an ordinary person!" ”

Su Yan only praised her for her good looks, and said with a smile: "Why is her mouth so sweet today?" Come, let my sister see if she has eaten honey! ”

With Xia Hua, Su Yan and her unconsciously relaxed attitude between you and me, and the smile on the corner of her mouth never stopped from beginning to end.

Xia Hua pestered Dou Xian to ask questions one by one, and when she felt that she was almost done, she unexpectedly threw out a question, "Huh?" Prime Minister Dou, since you are already well, why don't you go back quickly? I've heard Mr. Storyteller say that there are a lot of things waiting for you to deal with every day in the court! You've been gone for more than a year. ”

She thought she was hiding it well, but she didn't know that the cunning in her eyes had already been taken into Dou Xian's eyes, he remained silent and was silent for a while before saying, "Because...... I'm going to wait for someone, for her to come with me in peace. ”

Xia Hua pestered Dou Xian to ask questions, Su Yan sat with Aunt Liu and listened, and it was also interesting to interject a sentence or two from time to time, when she heard Xia Hua ask this question, Su Yan's heart tightened, her face was silent, and her ears were erected.

When she heard Dou Xian's answer, Su Yan was completely stunned.

And here, Xia Hua is still asking, "What if she doesn't want to?" ”
