The trees next to the Hu family's shop in the south of the city are shady, under the weeping willows that have just emerged green, and outside the delicate and atmospheric double carriage carriage, Ah Yao looked at the young man in Xuanyi who came on a horse stupidly.

Before dying in his previous life, on the snow-covered streets of the capital, he also wore a dark robe and rode first, followed by a group of rich and noble children, and the freshly dressed angry horses galloped past, splashing pieces of snowflakes in the air. Turning her head sideways and hiding in the corner, she was ashamed of herself, and hurried to the pawnshop with the only remaining firefox in her arms.

It would be the most depressed time in her two lives, the rice jar in the simple courtyard house on the outskirts of Beijing has been empty, the last penny on her body has been purified, and her cousin Song Qinwenqing, who shares joys and sorrows, has become more and more anxious, and often loses his temper with her because of coarse tea and light rice. Although she still maintains a strong face and forces herself to put on a smile every day, she has deeply understood how difficult it is to live in poverty.

Holding the fire fox in distress, he hesitated to step on the steps of the pawnshop. This is the last thought that Daddy left her, and after that, after countless difficult days and nights, she can no longer hold Dayu and cry silently, missing her parents under Jiuquan.

Just when she was hesitating, the young man in Xuanyi, who had already stepped on the horse, suddenly turned back, appeared in front of her, and threw her a purse full of silver tickets without saying a word.

In my memory, the young man in Xuanyi who came on a horse was exactly the same as the young man in front of him. Even without the entourage behind him, the aura around him that is difficult to ignore has not changed at all. I don't know if it's her delusion, and even feels that the young man in front of her at this moment is more powerful than in her previous life.

"Brother Jing."

Uncontrolled by her brain, she stood in the carriage in a daze.

The galloping boy didn't seem to notice the movement, and in his hurry he heard someone shouting and hurriedly reined in his horse. But it was already a little late, and the horse's front hooves rushed to the carriage and stepped straight towards the carriage.

"Girl, be careful!"

In Qingshuang's frightened gaze, the young man turned sideways slightly, grabbed his long arms, and hugged the stupid girl who was in danger. One hand held her firmly in his arms, and the other tightened the reins.

The horse's front hooves were raised almost one person high, and the slanted horse's back allowed A-Yao in front to cling to the arms of the young man behind. Too nervous, her little hand subconsciously grabbed the young man's arm, and her apricot eyes were almost as round as a cat.

Through the sleeves, the girl's little hand grabbed his arm tightly, numb and itchy, and it made Lu Jingyuan's heart flutter. Holding the reins, he was going to control the horse to land smoothly, he pulled it tighter, and the legs that were across the horse's belly were slightly clamped, and the god horse who had cooperated for many years understood the master's mind, and after the front hooves landed, the four hooves flew again, rushing out like a cluster of black lightning.

"Stop ......"

"Don't be afraid." After sitting upright, the silly girl was firmly protected in her arms, and Lu Jingyuan whispered in her ear.

The calm voice and the firm support behind her gradually calmed down A-Yao. In the slightly chilly spring breeze in the south of the Yangtze River, the two rode side by side, crossed the small bridge and flowing water, stepped in front of the ordinary people's houses with pink walls and tiles, and went all the way out of the city along the 123 upstream, and stopped beside the verdant mulberry forest.

"It's ......"

"The Hu family's thousand acres of mulberry fields."

It turned out that here, sitting on horseback, A-Yao was condescending, looking at the woman in the field wearing a bib on her head and carrying a bamboo basket to pick mulberries, and couldn't help but stretch her waist.

Then she stretched out her arm and struck the arm of the person behind her.

"Ahh In hindsight, she finally realized what she had just done.

"The view... Brother. ”

Just now, she sat in the arms of the young man in Xuanyi, and the two of them were close to each other, swaggering all the way through the city. It was just the time when lunch was finished, and many people saw the lively hour on the street.

Although the defense of men and women in Great Xia is not as heavy as that of the previous dynasty, it is still a little embarrassing to think about it. was so ashamed, her face flushed, A-Yao covered her face with her little hands, and turned her head to look at him quietly through her fingers. Unlike her shyness, the young man's expression was still calm. In her gaze, the young man neatly turned over and dismounted, and the dark color on the fluttering hem of his clothes rushed to her face like a blazing fire, roasting her whole body hot.

"Dismount."

The hand reached over and was half-hugged by him, and the angle seemed to affect her to see the suspicious red behind the young man's ear.

"Isn't it a little bad that we're so close just now?"

Hesitantly asked, seeing that the young man did not react, she added, "So many people have seen it, and I should go to the shop..."

"Shh

With his middle finger smacking a mute on his lips, he naturally took her hand and led her headlong into the mulberry grove that would be taller than a person.

There was a smell on the young man's body that could not be refused, and for a while she forgot to struggle, and was held by her straight. It wasn't until she had walked some distance forward that the dew accumulated on the mulberry leaves in the morning mist dripped down, and the cool temperature made her regain her senses a little.

"Jing ......"

"Song Qinwen is in front."

Ah Yao was silent, and after hearing the next sentence, she unconsciously held her breath, stood on tiptoe and walked lightly, "Shen Moci is going to leave for the Shen family's ancestral home tomorrow, and I will come to find him." ”

Shen Moci came to find Song Qinwen? These two names alone are enough to attract Ah Yao's attention. At the last moment before leaving Qingcheng, she actually came to find Song Qinwen, what was this for?

This girl seems to be a little too nervous about the two of them, it stands to reason that although Shen Moci stirred up the rumors three times and twice, it didn't cause her any harm, why did she attach so much importance to it? The secret feeling in his heart was abnormal, but seeing the little hand obediently in his palm, Lu Jingyuan was very tolerant and didn't care about this abnormality.

Anyway, she's stupid, stupid, stupid, and she won't do anything earth-shattering.

The corners of his lips raised slightly, and he clenched his little hand tighter, and the soft and boneless touch came, and he thought about the place where the dark guard had reported, and he heard a small voice from in front of him. I could tell that the two were still complaining to each other, and even did something that was dumbfounded by the simplicity of this stupid girl, and I didn't think that he would change directions, and took her hand in hand to take her around in a circle in the quiet mulberry forest.

The martial arts practitioner has excellent ear power, and along the way, he avoided the farmers who came to pick mulberries, and the two walked quietly in the forest. Lu Jingyuan, who is tall and has long arms, scooped it up from time to time, picked off the ripe mulberries on the branches, wiped it slightly with a handkerchief, and handed it to the mouth of the girl next to him.

She's too skinny, and she needs to be fed a little harder.

Qingcheng has good mountains and good waters, and the mulberry grains that grow are large and sweet, and they are dyed purple until Ayao's teeth are dyed purple. One by one, she didn't feel the time passing at all while eating, until A-Yao felt a little full and looked up at the sun. There was still some easterly sun just now, and this time it had risen to the very middle.

"Why hasn't it arrived yet?"

"Right now."

After taking her around in a long circle, I came back and listened intently, and the slightly rough wheezing in the woods had stopped. Pulling the hand of the girl next to her, Lu Jingyuan took her over silently.

This is a hundred-year-old mulberry forest, different from the shrub-like dwarf mulberry trees just walked through, the mulberry trees here are large and deep-rooted, with lush branches and leaves, and the thinnest one is also thick in the arms of a person. The mulberry leaves are already very dense, and the layers of layers completely block out the sunlight overhead. The morning fog outside had just cleared for a while, and the fog here had not completely dissipated, and I felt a little cold when I walked in.

"Don't make a sound."

Naturally, he unbuttoned his robe and completely wrapped her from the back shoulder. The difference in size was too large, and he could wrap around her almost a half in a well-fitting robe. Wrapped in the back, the sound of rustling in front came, Lu Jingyuan hugged her waist from behind, and with a slight force between his feet, the two jumped on the branch.

From branch to branch, to the tree with the thickest trunk in the center of the mulberry forest. Steadily stopping on the branch, brushing aside the obstructive branch next to her, condescendingly, A-Yao saw the scene that made her blood flow backwards.

On the moss-covered ground under the tree, Song Qinwen's pale cyan robe was spread out. Shen Moci, who was disheveled, lay lazily on it with only his middle coat, leaning on his arms. The neck clasp is open, revealing the delicate collarbone underneath, and the shallow midi coat faintly reveals the red belly pocket inside.

This situation and this scene are exactly the same as the scene she saw outside the door curtain when she pawned back before she died in her previous life.

In the previous life, today's father has not passed away, and he is still in charge of the affairs of the shop in Qingcheng, but he didn't expect the two to hook up at this time. At yesterday's apprenticeship ceremony, seeing Song Qinwen protecting Shen Moci like that, not only reversed black and white to speak for her, but also tried to do something to her in a hurry, at that time she had already determined that there must be a personal relationship between the two. But in any case, she would never have thought that the two of them had developed to this point when Daddy was alive.

"Qin Wen is talented and well-learned, and his export is successful, and he will definitely be able to achieve fame by participating in the imperial examination with your ability, and his journey is just around the corner. It's all my fault, dragging you down. Shen Moci's voice was full of apologies, but her charm at the moment and the lingering in her voice would only make the listener's heart soften.

Song Qinwen, who was intoxicated with Fang Cai's confusion, was like this, Ah Ci was already unable to protect herself, but she was still thinking about him, how kind she was.

"I was going to go by myself yesterday, no wonder Ah Ci. Instead, you gave me your innocence, and now I can't make any promises to you. ”

Fortunately, he couldn't make a promise, and Shen Moci breathed a sigh of relief. She's really afraid of this nerd because of those dogmas who want to marry her. Her Shen Moci's husband must be a human being, even if Song Qinwen can keep his fame, he will be a seven-grade sesame official at most after the title of the gold list, in short, she has never thought of marrying her.

"Being able to hand himself over to Qinwen, Ah Ci has no regrets. It's just the matter of the imperial examination, and I can't get over it in my heart. Yesterday I approached His Royal Highness King Ping, and he promised to help you. ”

"Help? But my membership has been extinguished. ”

"Lord Zhizhou can only be in charge of the students of the state, and the governor of Linzhou is not a jealous person. When he went to the Jinluan Palace, he could sweep away the humiliation of the day. ”

After returning to his ancestral house in the countryside yesterday, Song Guansheng taught Song Qinwen very much from "courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame", and he was in tears. He knew how much he owed the Hu family, and he felt guilty, but what he regretted even more was that his dream of the imperial examination was shattered after studying hard for many years. Now that he was already hopeless, he took a turn for the better, and he immediately forgot about last night's Daddy's earnest teaching.

"Really?"

"With Qinwen's talent, don't say that he is a jinshi, and he is also a top three. Which state has produced such a talent as you, the local governor will not be happy. I've been haunted by this since I returned home yesterday, and I've finally found a turning point, so I'm here to see you today. ”

After returning home at noon yesterday, Shen Moci had a very bad time, and Shen Jinshan, who was full of depression and had nowhere to attack, blamed her for everything, and the eldest lady was even more sneering. Not only that, but even the aunt who gave birth to her sighed when she came back because she ate some rows in the main courtyard, and complained about her a lot in and out of her words, bluntly saying why she was unstable to be a concubine, and then she decided to marry a good family.

All the henchmen were eliminated, and she had to be careful in the back house, and she almost collapsed under the huge pressure. But after all, she is not a person who sits still, and no matter how difficult she is, she has to find a way. The last dark chess move arranged in Hu Mansion was also abolished due to the apprenticeship ceremony, and now there are very few chess pieces available in her hands.

After thinking about it, she finally thought of Song Qinwen. As long as the Song family is still the wife of the Hu family, his connection with the Hu family will not be severed, and the top priority is to make Song Qinwen die with her.

used the last bit of strength to escape from the Shen family and called Song Qinwen to this secret place. She first leaned down and conquered him with the skills she had learned from her aunt, and then threw out such generous terms.

"Ah Ci has a good reputation, and I will do my best if I have the opportunity."

His voice revealed his firmness for what had been lost and recovered, but in his heart he was grateful to Shen Moci. It's all come to this juncture, and Ah Ci is still thinking about her. She not only gave him her body, but also helped him arrange his future. In this life, if he fails Ah Ci, he will not be a man.

Through the gap in the branches, A-Yao looked at the two people who were hugging tightly below, swearing by the mountains and the sea. The familiar scene reappeared, remembering the scene when Shen Moci poked it into a sieve with scissors and gushed out of the blood fountain itself before she died in her previous life, her heart couldn't help but jump up.

Unable to hold back any longer, she grabbed the still green mulberry next to her, aimed at the two of them under the tree and was about to throw them.

"Don't."

Someone grabbed her arm, and Ah Yao blushed and glared at the young man next to her with anger.

"You don't have the strength, I'll come."

After saying that, the young man took the mulberry from her hand, pinched one and threw it down seemingly casually. But if you look closely, you will find that the mulberry grains he threw out are spinning at a very fast speed, and with the force of the slide, they are already very romantic when they hit the ground.

Song Qinwen under the tree hugged Shen Moci, and the two of them who were disheveled said a word, and their eyes were affectionate. Both of them are extremely talented and learned people, and now they are complaining to each other and are also citing each other, all kinds of incense. Glamorous words come out of the mouth, without the slightest repetition. Seeing that the love was thick, he wanted to unbutton and remove his shirt, and he was panting and came back again, and suddenly his head was hit hard by a small thing like a stone.

It's been discovered!

You and I hurriedly parted, arranging our clothes and looking up at the trees. But the dense foliage completely obscured all traces, and they could only see the slightly swaying trunk of the tree, and the person on the tree was long gone.

"Who."

As soon as the words fell, there was another heavy blow to the neck.

"Who's there?" Song Qinwen looked panicked, and he didn't have time to tie the buttons, so he pinched the mulberries on the ground and walked to the tree next to him in the direction he threw them.

Lu Jingyuan on the tree was playful, relying on his martial arts, he held Ayao with one arm, and threw green mulberries down with the other hand. And the silly girl in his arms was not idle, she completely forgot about the male and female defenses when the hatred came up, her legs were wrapped around his waist, one hand was wrapped around her neck and firmly attached to him, and the other hand was looking for hard green mulberries.

"Give."

At first, she just raised her chin and whispered a single byte. Behind him, he shuttled through the woods, watching the two people under the trees being thrown into all kinds of screams, hugging their heads and running around, panic under the shock, and her depression suppressed by hatred gradually dissipated, and a slightly arrogant voice blurted out:

"Brother Jing, throw her ass."

"Neck, both people have to throw."

"Strain."

"Brother Jing is amazing."

The cheerful voice of the yellow bird sounded from the forest, and it also reached the ears of those who dodged left and right under the trees. I thought it was a naughty child, how could it be her?

At first, Lu Jingyuan only threw them one by one, but later when he saw that the silly girl was happy, the cry of "Brother Jing" became sweeter and sweeter, and he worked harder and harder. Pull a handful of mulberries off the branches, and throw them all down.

The cannonballs of the Heavenly Maiden scattered, and Song Qinwen subconsciously protected Shen Moci under his body and blocked this wave of attacks with his back.

"It's so beautiful, Brother Jing is so amazing!"

A cheerful voice came, and Song Qinwen finally couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart, "Hu Yao, you have already harmed me like this, what do you want." ”

"Discovered?" A silly girl with a single thread in her head has finally reacted.

Stupid!

The big hand gently brushed her little head and threw the last mulberry out of her hand. With Song Qinwen's response to the fall, he also took the girl and floated down from the tree, just in front of the two of them.

"Come down."

Patting her on the back, he whispered.

Kindness? Closer to the ground, A-Yao finally found herself in a "bold" posture. The little face that was red with excitement would almost turn red into a small eggplant. Releasing her leg and sliding down his chest, she hurried two steps to the side.

"Brother Jing, I didn't mean to."

Lu Jingyuan nodded, and hummed a soft "En" in his nose. Of course, he knew that this girl didn't mean it, and she had been staring straight at his face from the street just now. was obviously attracted by his handsome appearance, and couldn't help but want to post it.

It turns out that the silly girl is also like those girls in the capital, coveting his beauty.

Anyway, he doesn't hate it, so it's good to indulge.

The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his eyes showed uncontrollable pleasure. His gaze glanced at the silly girl next to him who was almost tucking her head into her neck, and when he turned to the two people who had fallen in front of him, his face was cold again.

"The two of them are really stronger than Jin."

I knew that Song Qinwen was so easy to be manipulated by others, and yesterday on the high platform, he would not step on Shen Moci's foot, so that he wasted a good pair of shoes. Thinking of the pair of soap boots that he ordered the dark guard to throw away after he came back yesterday, he thought with regret.

And what he didn't know was that it was precisely because of the kick that made Shen Moci "hurt" yesterday that he had a reason to call Song Qinwen out today.

"You ......"

Stacked Arhats pressed Shen Moci under him, stood up strongly, and saw the two ghosts appearing behind him, Song Qinwen couldn't hide his surprise. Although he was timid in his heart, when he saw Shen Moci and thought of what she had done for him, the few manly spirits in his chest were raised again.

"Isn't it a gentleman's job to hide and peep secretly?"

Is this still the humble gentleman Song Qinwen she knew in her previous life? No, every qiē in his previous life was an illusion he pretended in front of her in order to cooperate with Shen Moci. Thinking of this, Ah Yao's shy and excited heart instantly calmed down.

"Hide? This whole mulberry forest belongs to my Hu family, and the mulberry tree you stayed in just now was planted by the ancestors of the Hu family when they bought the first acre of fertile land. ”

Song Qinwen's face was embarrassed, "Don't listen to incivility, don't look at incivility." ”

Lu Jingyuan's expression became playful, "Indecent, it turns out that Song Gongzi still knows, and he really doesn't care about anything in the depths of his love." ”

Shen Moci tidied up his slightly messy clothes, and then looked up. Shen Jinshan's two slaps yesterday were very heavy, and although she applied the medicine in time, the redness and swelling on her face had not completely dissipated at this moment. In addition, the clothes were messy, and he was compared to Ah Yao.

Looking at the delicate girl who was firmly wrapped in Xuanyi under the shade of the tree, and the young man who was now standing in front of her in a protective posture, Shen Moci glanced at Hu Yao with resentment. Obviously I don't know anything, but I live so well every time. Not only is her father and mother pampered, but even the high-powered little marquis is completely on her side.

Before, she wanted to pull Dingbei Hou over, but now she has lost that heart.

"Master Hou is really affectionate to the girl of the Hu family."

"Ah Yao is Ben Hou's only junior sister, and it is reasonable for Ben Hou to take care of her."

So it was, Ah Yao breathed a sigh of relief. She just said, how could Brother Jing have that kind of mind about her.

This stupid girl, she hasn't opened her love trick yet. Just now in her arms, she giggled while picking mulberries, her innocent face was completely childish.

It's better to look at this way than the premature maturity after suffering in the previous life, and it is more comfortable to watch.

The little marquis looked at Ah Yao with tenderness in his eyes, which made Shen Moci's mind feel as if he had been quenched with poison. How can such Hu Yao not make people jealous, but no matter how jealous she is, now she can only swallow the coptis water, and she is silently bitter in her heart.

"It's Miss Shen's kindness to Song Gongzi, it's more like a layout with ulterior motives."

"Hugh wants to slander Ah Ci." Under the excitement, Song Qinwen's forehead was bruised.

The cold wind blew, his hands on his shoulders, and Lu Jingyuan's face became dark, "This day...... Seeing that it is about to fall into the spring cold. Just as the spring silkworms are cocooning, the mulberry leaves are consumed quickly. Trapped by the spring cold, many people's mulberry leaves came out late, and the silkworms were not enough to eat, so they had to go to the mulberry field of the Hu family to pick. As far as Ben Hou knows, the father of Song Gongzi seems to have been in charge of Sangtian all these years, and when the time comes, he will not give it to whom, and he will make a little move here, and the Hu family will pay tribute to the best raw silk used in silk this year, but it will have to be greatly discounted. ”

"Song Gongzi has received such a great favor from Miss Shen, if she asks, how can you stand by and watch?"
