As the sun sets, the Wolgang pier is plated with a soft orange yellow.

Porters on the docks come and go, carrying goods to ships docked on the shore. A middle-aged man in a robe with a mustache and beard urged while stroking: "A few over there!" Hong came to the firm! Hurry up! Hurry up and get your merchant's goods up, there are still two quarters of an hour to go. When the time comes, all the idlers and others must leave the dock. ”

The porter over there answered, and sped up.

The middle-aged man hurried to the shore and pointed to two other merchant ships.

"Anchor! Collect it now! Don't grind. The middle-aged man called a small servant and shouted, "In two quarters of an hour, clean the dock, and there will be no debris at all." ”

"Second master, how many pots of orchids can you put over there?" The trailing little guy mentions yì.

The middle-aged man known as the second master pinched his beard, half-groaned and half-squinted, and said, "A few pots are not enough, go and see which one still has orchids, and borrow them first." Move fast! Your lord's ship and carriage are almost here! Don't miss out this time! ”

Two quarters of an hour later, a three-storey boat was moored at the Wharf of the Moon River, with a huge flag planted on it and a dignified and heavy character "Shen" written on it.

The second master rubbed his hands, and now he is the main master.

The little guy came to report that the nobleman's carriage had arrived at the gate of Yuejiang City. The second master cheered up 120,000 points of spirit, and after inspecting the inside and outside of the dock, he removed his hand from his mustache and put on a welcoming posture.

However, the sunset has sunk and the starlight is gradually coming out, and the second master has not yet waited for the nobleman.

He twisted his lower neck stiffly.

At this time, the boat approached the dock, lowered a ladder, and two attendants came down with lanterns, and a red figure walked out slowly. When he got closer, the second master found that the man was about the same age as him, but his face was white and his lips were red, and his face was as clean as a shelled egg. As soon as he spoke, the voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.

"Hasn't Master Hou arrived yet?"

The second master narrowed his eyes, didn't dare to look more, bowed his head and said: "If you go back to the nobleman, the lower official has sent a servant to inquire." ”

The man chuckled lowly and said, "No need, the Sprinkle family will personally go to greet the Hou Ye." Walk. ”

The second master hurriedly sent it off.

When the man was far away, the second master swallowed his saliva, and it was really the first time he had seen a eunuch in the palace.

It stands to reason that Yuejiang City is not big, and it is only a time to take a carriage from the city gate to the wharf. No matter how slow it is, at most two pillars of incense. But now from the sunset to the stars, there is a full hour.

And Mu Yanghou was indeed in Yuejiang City at this time, but in an inn in Yuejiang City.

Shen Changtang listened to Chen Dou's report expressionlessly.

Yan Mo and Yan Shen were guarding outside.

The private room in the Yuejiang City Inn is very small, and the words in it are both clear and clear. Chen Dou was still reporting, he said it very carefully, and even said such a subtle expression as Yin's slightly raised eyebrows.

The two looked at each other.

was assassinated that day, what happened in the cave, except for Hou Ye and Yin, there is no third person in this world who knows. But I don't know, but something unpleasant must have happened. After that day, Hou Ye not only did not summon the Yin clan again, but he was as cold as ice. originally thought that Hou Ye was tired of the Yin family, but today, it is obviously not.

Chen Dou finally finished his report.

There was dead silence in the room.

After a while, Mu Yanghou said a faint "um" and let Chen Dou retreat. When Chen Dou came out, Yan Shen asked him: "Did Master Hou say when he would leave?" Someone came over there, saying that the building ship had been moored. ”

Chen Dou was silent and said, "Don't dare to ask." ”

Yan Shen also fell silent and said, "Then wait." ”

After a while, Mu Yanghou's voice sounded in the room. Yan Mo and Yan Shen entered the private room, and saw Shen Changtang sitting in front of the table with his brows furrowed, and there was a moonlight nuclear sculpture of a lotus pond on the table. The two saluted in unison.

"Get up, sit down and talk."

The two responded again, and when they just sat down, Mu Yanghou over there suddenly turned his head and stared at the two of them, his expression was extremely solemn.

The two of them were suddenly uneasy in their hearts.

I only heard Shen Changtang say slowly: "The Holy Lord once mentioned something to me. ”

When the two of them heard this, they sat upright.

"The saint admires the talents of the two of you and wants you to enter the palace," after a pause, he paused for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, and then said: "Wait in front of the palace, if you wait well, maybe you can be added to the ranks." ”

The word waiting, Shen Changtang said it was particularly meaningful.

The two of them have been with Mu Yanghou for a long time, and they will also accompany them when they enter the palace, and they also know that in addition to the hobby of nuclear carving, the saint also raises a lot of prostitutes. Suddenly, both of them turned slightly pale.

Shen Changtang saw it in his eyes, and said: "When you enter the palace, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out, you usually ride horses and shoot arrows, and you can't always do this in the palace." Especially in archery, sharp weapons are not allowed in the palace. It's just that the saint loves you very much in his words, and he will give you an official rank in a year and a half. Would you like to? ”

Yan Mo said: "The order of the subordinates was given by the Hou Ye!" The subordinates obeyed the orders of the Hou Ye. ”

Yan Shen also said: "The same is true for subordinates. ”

Shen Changtang said: "Ben Hou only asks you, are you willing or unwilling?" ”

Yan Shen said: "If you really say what you want to say, your subordinates don't want to." There is no Lang Jun in the world who is willing to let people be pressed under him, let alone sell his body. But the saint opened his mouth, how could his subordinates not obey? How dare you embarrass Master Hou? ”

Yan Mo said: "My subordinates are willing to do their best for the Hou Ye." ”

Shen Changtang seemed to be in deep thought, and he began to play with the moonlight nuclear sculpture of the lotus pond in his palm, rubbing his thumb and index finger on the delicate lotus leaf. He looked at the two people in front of him, having said that, his expression was not controlled, and his face was tightly tense.

"Oh? Do you think that the Holy One is domineering and selfish? ”

"Don't dare." The two said in unison.

But at this time, Shen Changtang muttered: "In this way, Ben Hou also feels that the Holy Lord is a little domineering, and even Ben Hou's people want it." He said, "Go out." ”

The two of them were sad in their hearts, they never expected that one day they would be favored by the emperor, and they could not display their talents, but they had to rely on their bodies to please others.

This is by far the biggest piece of bad news.

At this time, Shen Changtang's voice came from behind him.

"Ben Hou has already refused, you don't need to worry, Ben Hou is one day, he will protect you one day."

The two hurriedly kowtowed and knelt down to thank them, grateful.

Shen Changtang waved his hand again and said, "Go out, let the boat wait at the dock." From now on, no one will be allowed to come in without the orders of the marquis. Yan Mo and Yan Shen have experienced the ups and downs of Fang Cai, and now they don't care when they will set off. If it weren't for Hou Ye saying it today, they wouldn't know that the Holy Lord actually thought about them! Thinking of this, the two of them trembled. I used to look at the prostitutes in the palace and felt disdainful, but now I almost fell on myself, and my mood is very different.

But......

Yan Mo said in a low voice: "Why did Master Hou suddenly mention this stubble? When Hou Ye entered the palace, it was half a year ago, right? There have been no letters from the palace lately......"

Yan Shen said: "Don't think so much, how can Hou Ye's thoughts be something we can figure out?" ”.

Yes.

The two of them definitely didn't expect that after half a year, Shen Changtang suddenly brought it up not for them, but for Ah Yin.

Ah Yin's words in the cave one day, he remembered every word and sentence clearly. At first he was very angry, thinking how dare she be so bold? How can you be so ignorant? How dare he say the words "disdainful" to his dignified Mu Yanghou!

In the darkness, for a moment, his hand wanted to move to her neck, with a slight force, turning her into a corpse that could not speak.

Didn't she die and didn't want to go back to Yongping with him?

He strangled her and buried her in Yongping, and she could only stay in Yongping for eternity and eternity.

Later, in the peasant's house, he tried to strangle her again and again, and even tried to beat her with a blood-drinking whip, telling her that this was the consequence of trampling on the dignity of the proud son of heaven. But it still didn't work out.

The desperation in her voice, the hatred in her voice, made him unable to do anything.

When she stood in the corner, her thin body was like paper, as if she could fly to the sky with a light blow, and even the black hair hanging down made people feel pity.

He was so angry and angry that he had no choice but to see her, for fear that if he saw her, he would really kill her.

After five or six days, he was finally able to calm down and recall her every word. Although she still turns blue with anger when she thinks about it, it cannot be denied that she is not wrong if she changes places.

He summoned Yan Mo and Yan Shen in.

"Turn back to Gongcheng."

Both of them were stunned, and now that the time had passed, the boat was still parked on the pier.

Yan Shen asked: "...... Right now? ”

Shen Changtang bowed his head and said, "Let the ship dock at the dock for two days, and then set off back to Yongping in a few days." ”.

As soon as Ah Yin returned home, Dong Yun opened his throat and shouted, "Old lady, the eldest girl is back!" Before the words fell, I heard a few hurried footsteps, Yin Xiuwen and the Qin family, as well as Brother Hao, the second and third rooms all came over.

They looked at Ah Yin as if they had seen it for the first time.

The second aunt said: "I waited by the nobleman's side for a few days, and when I came back, I had a noble spirit, and I almost didn't recognize the eldest girl." "It's a slippery shot. Sanfang was not to be outdone, and immediately praised Ah Yin.

Qin smiled and said, "Are you hungry?" If you're hungry, your mother will make you a new table of dishes. ”

Yin Xiu Wenrao was worried about the silver again, and he didn't dare to speak so quickly at this time, so he echoed Qin's words and said, "Let your mother cook a table of dishes for you." ”

The Qin family didn't move, and it wasn't until Ah Yin said yes that he left to cook in the stove room.

Yin Xiuwen intended to ask Ah Yin about Mu Yanghou, so he dismissed the second and third aunts, and motioned Ah Yin to go with him to talk in the main hall. Brother Hao took Ah Yin's hand, and it was rare to stick to her, so the three of them entered the main hall together.

However, before Yin Xiuwen could speak, Ah Yin had already spoken first: "Dad, our house is too small, tomorrow I am going to see the new house, let's change to a bigger one, and we don't need to live in the firewood room with tiger eyes and tiger fists, blame them for wronging." ”

Yin Xiuwen didn't expect Ah Yin to mention this, but he was happy in his heart, and said, "Okay, I'll go and see it tomorrow." ”

Ah Yin said: "I will take the tiger's eye and tiger fist to them, and now it is summer again, walking around under the sun, I am afraid that my father will suffer from heat stroke." ”

Yin Xiuwen said: "You can think about your father, and you are also filial piety." Hengzhi didn't care about this matter, he said: "When the house is purchased, the deed will be kept by me." You have a daughter's family, and it's not good to hold the deed. ”

Ah Yin escaped death once, but he figured out a lot of things.

Sometimes, what should be hard is hard, and what should be soft is soft.

She said bluntly: "My father is addicted to gambling, and the deed is in my father's hands, so I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it for a few days." If the father insisted on keeping it, the daughter had no choice but to give up. ”

The implication is to buy a new one or not to buy it.

When Yin Xiuwen heard this, he was so annoyed that his liver suddenly became angry, and his face turned pale.

If he had put on such a face in the past, no one in the family would be afraid. But now the daughter in front of him is still calm and composed, without the slightest fear, and her calm face has a bit of momentum that he has never seen.

For a while, it taught him to worry in his heart.

Ah Yin said: "The father treats his daughter sincerely, and the daughter must also be filial to her father." ”

The rest of the words, she didn't say more, but smiled slightly.

Brother Hao suddenly said: "I also treat my sister sincerely!" ”

Ah Yin touched his head: "Brother Hao is so good." ”

Brother Hao said happily: "Sister, everyone in the school is talking about you, and I envy the monkey nuclear sculpture that my sister gave me before." "When Brother Hao first went to Shouquan Academy, he felt extremely tormented every day when he went to and from school, and the people in Shouquan Academy were incompatible with him, and his eyes were very strange when he looked at him, and some people even bullied him. He told his father, and his father only told him to endure it, and when he learned his skills and gained fame, everyone would regret that he had bullied him.

He endured it, but he was not happy, and he felt that the Shouquan School was like the hell that the master said.

He couldn't think about it.

It wasn't until later that my sister won the championship at the Dou Nuclear Conference, and many people in Gong City wanted to see my sister, and someone in the school asked him to help deliver the worship post, and the people who bullied him before took a detour when they saw him. Compared with the situation in the previous school, there is a gap between heaven and earth.

When Yin Xiuwen heard his son mention the school, his still angry mood disappeared without a trace.

He had no one to rely on but his daughter.

Yin Xiuwen coughed lightly and said, "Why hasn't your mother's meal been cooked yet?" Your mother is slow. He walked out and shouted, "Dongyun, don't go and urge Madame!" Stupid what to do here! ”

During the meal, Yin Xiuwen kept serving vegetables to Ah Yin, looking like he was afraid that she would be hungry in the villa.

Ah Yin looked at such a father, and thought of Shen Changtang for no reason.

If it weren't for Shen Changtang's words, she probably wouldn't be able to open her mind now. Thinking of this, Ah Yin regretted that the last sentence of the day was so heavy. She resented him, but she didn't resent. However, she was very grateful to him.

Her feelings for Mu Yanghou are extremely complicated.

But anyway, he has already returned to Yongping, and Chen Dou has also taken him away, thinking that he is completely disgusted with her, a person who has hurt his self-esteem.

Early the next morning, Ah Yin wanted to go and see what houses there were first, but he didn't expect that there were posts as high as a hill in the house. Fan Haohe also said that there were many more businesses, and the price was even higher than before.

When Ah Yin heard this, he simply asked Fan Haohe to inquire about any houses for sale nearby.

And he stayed in the house.

She flipped through the mountains of posts, looked at the business list listed by Fan Haohe, and pondered how to choose. Now she is not worried about the silver two, and the family is gradually in charge of her, and in just half a year, her life has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Tiger Eye said: "Big girl, someone has spread a message, saying that it is from a nuclear carver surnamed Yuan. ”.

The location is about a tea shop in Gongcheng, not far from Ah Yin's home, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to walk over and touch it. However, since the Dou Nuclear Conference, there are too many people who recognize Ah Yin's face, so Ah Yin had to take a carriage over.

After arriving at the tea shop, Ah Yin found that the entire tea shop had been covered.

Such a big gesture reminded Ah Yin of Mu Yanghou for no reason.

"Miss Yin, please come here." The little guy at the tea shop led the way and led Ah Yin to the second floor. Ah Yin asked, "The surname of the person who chartered your tea shop is Yuan?" ”

The little girl replied with a smile: "If you go back to the girl, it was the master of Suizhou who took care of it." ”

As soon as the four words of Shangguan Shixin came to mind, there were already footsteps in the private room. After a while, a figure like a spring breeze appeared in front of Ah Yin. Shangguan Shixin smiled gently at her: "Miss Yin is finally here, since the farewell of the Dou Nuclear Conference, it is difficult to see Miss Yin." ”

Hearing the ridicule in his tone, Ah Yin couldn't help but say: "The young owner is laughing, it is difficult to see the young owner, and it may not be able to see the ladder." ”

A sudden sound of doubt sounded in the room, followed by Yuan Hong's voice as loud as a bell.

"Okay, you're a letter, you've been hiding it from the old man! You've known her for a long time. ”

Shangguan Shixin said with a smile: "Uncle Yuan's words are wrong, I only met her once in Nuclear Eagle Town. ”

Yuan Hong snorted and laughed: "I've seen it once, can you be familiar with the tone so far?" ”

Shangguan Shixin said: "Shixin and Miss Yin are like friends at first sight, like mountains and rivers meeting bosom friends, and seeing each other once is better than others thousands of times." Thanks to Uncle Fang's problem last time, if it weren't for Uncle Fang, Shixin wouldn't have met Miss Yin. ”

Speaking of Uncle Fang, Yuan Hong's white eyebrows wrung down.

"That old man is still thinking about that person? As the saying goes, the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, and the old man's heart is too heavy! After a pause, as if remembering something, Yuan Hong looked at Ah Yin again and asked, "You solved the old man's problem?" ”

Ah Yin said softly: "It's just that I figured out what Uncle Fang was thinking. ”

Shangguan Shixin roughly told Yuan Hong about what happened to Ah Yin in the nuclear carving town that day, and when he said that "it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice", Yuan Hong laughed heartily and said: "That old man also has such a day." ”

When I heard this, I liked Ah Yin more and more.

Ah Yin only felt that the nuclear carver called Yuan Hong was very kind and kind, and because he was a nuclear carver, he had a little admiration in his heart for no reason. Nowadays, only those who can become nuclear carvers are those who have been sealed in the palace, otherwise they are called nuclear carvers. For example, Huang Lao of the Southern School in the Nuclear Carving Town, and Zhang Lao of the Northern School, are a lot older, and they are still called nuclear carving technicians.

While a few people were talking, time flew by.

Before I knew it, an hour had passed.

Ah Yin's opinion on nuclear carving, Yuan Hong felt that this girl was like a good match for Shangguan Shixin, and she was indeed a rare good seedling. At the moment, he no longer tempted, cleared his throat, and explained his intention.

As soon as Ah Yin heard this, he remembered what Liuliulang had said.

“…… There is a place in Shangguan's house, called Nuclear Science, which gathers the highest level of nuclear carving skills, and there are a total of eighteen people. Some time ago, a nuclear carver beside the emperor drove to the west, and the eighteen nuclear carvers of Shangguan's family sent one to Yongping, and now Shangguan's family is empty. ”

At that time, Liulang said that she was very likely to be selected, and she only thought he was joking at the time, but she didn't expect that this opportunity was really in front of her now.

Yuan Hong said: "Although there is one vacant, in order to make up for that one, there are still three candidates in our Shangguan family. Those who can become alternates are all disciples accepted by the nuclear carvers of the Shangguan family, if you are willing to become the fourth alternate, are you willing to be my disciple? ”

Ah Yin asked, "You mean to take me as a disciple?" ”

Yuan Hong said: "I heard that you also worshipped a master as a teacher?" Named Yuan Gong? ”

Ah Yin suddenly coughed lightly in embarrassment, and said, "What Ah Yin has learned all comes from Ah Yin's grandfather. Grandfather once jokingly called himself Yuan Gong, and Ah Yin simply called his master Yuan Gong to the outside world. ”

Shangguan Shixin asked suspiciously: "With your level of carving core, your grandfather must also be a master." Why haven't you heard of Miss Yin's grandfather's reputation? Could it be that the grandfather of the Yin family is a reclusive master? ”

Ah Yin only said: "Grandfather is a good nuclear carving, and he does have a hidden heart. "Since I was a child, my grandfather has never participated in the nuclear fight outside, or has revealed that he understands nuclear carving, and even forbids her and Ah Xuan to come out, only when no one is around, he will show his love for nuclear carving. Come to think of it, this can be regarded as a kind of hidden heart of nuclear carving technicians.

Yuan Hong stroked his palms and laughed: "Coincidentally, my surname is Yuan, but some people call me Yuan Gong, you are really the old man's destined apprentice." ”

Seeing that Ah Yin seemed to be hesitant, Yuan Hong said again: "Don't worry, you think about it." If we wish, we will bow to the teacher. Two of the eighteen nuclear carvers in the nuclear science are also girls, if you have any concerns, you may as well tell us. ”

Ah Yin thanked him and said, "Please also ask Yuan Borong Ah Yin to think about it for a few days." ”.

By the time I left the tea shop, it was already early.

Shangguan Shixin sent Ah Yin to the carriage.

Ah Yin was a little excited in his heart, but he was a little worried.

She wants to go, but there is still Ah Xuan in Gong City.

Suddenly, the carriage was bumpy, but it couldn't move. Ah Yin raised his voice and asked, "What happened?" No one answered her outside, and she shouted in disbelief: "Tiger's Eye? Tiger Fist? "Still no one answered her.

She lifted the curtain and saw that the carriage had unconsciously walked to the grassy suburbs, and there was no one around.

She chuckled in her heart.

Then she quickly got out of the carriage, and as soon as she stood firmly, a force hit her waist.

Behind it is a embrace with such a familiar breath.
