"Sister? Sister? ”

"Huh?"

Jiang Xuan stopped, leaned on the edge of the arched bridge, tilted his head slightly, and asked, "Why is my sister absent-minded?" Could it be that you miss the Hou Ye? Or is my sister thinking about tomorrow? ”

After the morning, Mu Yang sent someone over to say that he would take Ah Yin to the Fahua Temple outside the two mountains to enjoy the flowers.

Jiang Xuan joked with a smile: "Didn't Master Hou still order, just let my sister go over alone?" Oh, it's really like the book says. Talented and beautiful people meet, and the beautiful scenery of the moon before the flowers. ”

Ah Yin glanced at her and said, "I know how to make fun of your sister." ”

When Jiang Xuan said this, he observed the expression on Ah Yin's face without a trace, and he didn't want to let go of it at all. Regarding what Ah Yin said this morning, Jiang Xuan was happy for her sister at first, but later she felt that something was wrong when she went out to fetch water and came back. My sister liked the Xie family Xiaolang at the beginning, but because she refused to be a concubine, she never got married. She has always thought that her sister is unwilling to share a husband with other people in her bones. She tried to find a trace of reluctance on her face, but unfortunately she couldn't.

When mentioning that Hou Ye, my sister's eyes seemed to have a different light, just like when I first met the Xie family.

Jiang Xuan thought again, maybe that Hou Ye was a prince and nobleman, but that kind of family was different.

"Sister, there's a water pavilion over there!"

She let go of Ah Yin's hand and rushed to the water pavilion in anticipation. Ah Yin looked at her with a smile, and was not in a hurry, pacing forward slowly. The trees are verdant and bloom with unknown flowers. The two sisters wandered all morning, but they didn't see anyone, thinking that Mu Yanghou ordered them to go down.

Thinking of Mu Yanghou, Ah Yin was in a very complicated mood.

Undoubtedly, he is domineering and strong. But the gentleness that was inadvertently revealed made her almost fall into it several times. Fortunately, there is always a string in my head, and I rationally restrain myself and can't sink deeply.

He is Mu Yanghou.

The intrigue in the Hou Mansion, the grievances in Mu Yanghou's mother's letter, and the noble daughters waiting to be married to Mu Yanghou, these are all things she can't wait to stay away from. One Xie Shaohuai is enough.

But he wouldn't let go, and she didn't seem to have anything else to do.

Ah Xuan said that she was thin, she was anxious and helpless, her heart was heavy, she couldn't sleep at night, how could she not lose weight?

She doesn't think that Mu Yanghou's care about her can last long, but now because she can't get it and it's fresh, if she doesn't care about it in the future, she has no family background and no support, how will she deal with herself in Yongping, which is full of powerful people? The hairpin in the family letter is clearly written, Princess Yucheng in the palace admires Shen Changtang, and the saint intends to be an adult.

When she read this, Mu Yanghou didn't react, for him, it must have been a matter of course.

He wants to take her back, either as a sick girl or a nameless bedgirl.

She didn't want to, but he pestered her like this, sooner or later she would be marked as Mu Yanghou's person, and in the end she would always have to go to Yongping.

can't get rid of Mu Yanghou, she won't want to live in peace in this life.

At this point, she had to plan for herself.

The rooms in the villa are not small, there are two rooms inside and outside, Jiang Xuan slept on the couch in the outer room when he came, and Ah Yin slept in the inner room. Because of her preoccupations, she still couldn't sleep at night, staring at the crow-blue curtain in a daze. When it was about to dawn, she quietly got up to bed and freshened up and changed.

Then she walked out of the room lightly.

She called the boy to lead the way and went to the stove room.

She boiled a pot of hot water, flour, and steamed a pot of steamed buns.

Xiao Tong has been following Ah Yin's side, and he wanted to say that it would be good for his subordinates to do these rough jobs, but after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, maybe it was Yin who wanted to wash his hands and make soup for Hou Ye, so he didn't open his mouth to stop it. Later, I saw that Yin's kneading dough and making more than a dozen big steamed buns, the steamed buns were big and round, not delicate at all, and I wanted to say that the steamed buns were too vulgar to enter the eyes of the Hou Ye, but I was afraid that saying it would hurt Yin's face, so I hesitated and struggled for a long time, and finally when I made a good statement, Yin's steamed buns were already out of the pot.

She neatly filled the plate with three steamed buns and said, "Do too much, and you can help me put the rest of the rest." If my sister is hungry at noon, give it to her. My sister especially likes the steamed buns I make. ”

As he spoke, he nodded slightly to Xiao Tong, and left the stove room with a plate.

The boy was dumbfounded.

…… Isn't it made for Hou Ye to eat?.

When the subordinates were waiting for Mu Yang to change his clothes, he found that the Hou Ye was in a good mood today, so he patted his ass a little and won a reward.

In the end, he knew how to observe words and feelings, and knew that Hou Ye's good mood was inseparable from that Miss Yin, and said: "Yesterday, the villain saw Miss Yin and her sister walking in the garden and sitting there for a long time in the water pavilion, and they seemed to be very happy. Hou Ye is compassionate, and Miss Yin must be grateful to Hou Ye at this time. ”

Mu Yanghou saw Zhang Su off yesterday, and only returned to the villa at night, and it was rare to answer when he heard this.

"How happy are you?"

The next person is a little embarrassed, happy is happy, how happy can he be? I had to say, "The smile on my face has been hanging all day." ”

When Yan Mo and Yan Shen came in, they heard their own Hou Ye asking, "Has she gotten up?" ”

The two looked at each other silently, thinking that this time the Hou Ye was really planted, who cared about who had gotten up in the past? The servant replied: "A quarter of an hour ago, the villain saw Miss Yin enter the stove room, and heard that Miss Yin was going to make breakfast for Master Hou." ”

Shen Changtang frowned slightly, and said, "It's not that there are no servants and maids in the house, where can she get her to work here?" ”

The two subordinates couldn't figure out Mu Yanghou's temper for a while, and their faces were scornful.

Yan Shen knew how to play a round game, walked over, and asked, "Master Hou, breakfast has been prepared, but do you want to call the little boy to come in now?" "In the past, most of the Hou Ye used breakfast at this point.

Unexpectedly, Shen Changtang said: "No need, Ben Hou is not hungry, put it back first." As he spoke, he groaned slightly, and said, "Everything is done?" ”

Yan Mo replied: "Back to the Hou Ye, Zhang Yushi sent two escorts by his side. ”

Yan Shen also said: "The matter over there in Suizhou is also in order, and Wang Xiang's exposed eyeliner has been cleaned up one by one." ”

……

A few people said a cup of tea, Shen Changtang half-raised his eyelids and looked outside, and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Yan Shen said: "The time has just passed. ”

As he spoke, Shen Changtang looked out again, and when he retracted his gaze, he began to talk about the problem of Suizhou again. After speaking, he asked again, "What time is it?" Yan Shen coughed lightly and said, "If you go back to the Hou Ye, it will be just over half an hour ......."

Shen Changtang's eyes were slightly dark.

Yan Shen said again: "Master Hou, my subordinates called the little boy to come in to cook tea, and went to the stove room to see what Miss Yin had made for breakfast." ”

Yan Mo stayed in the house alone, for no reason, he felt a little embarrassed for the first time, so he also said: "Master Hou, my subordinates also go out to have a look." Yan Shen didn't alarm anyone, just glanced at the door of the stove room and went back, just wrong with Yan Mo.

When he entered the house, the little boy was already cooking tea, and his lord's gaze swept quickly and keenly towards him.

He was stunned and said, "Back to the Hou Ye, Miss Yin is steaming steamed buns, and they can be steamed in about half an hour." ”

Shen Changtang said lightly: "Okay, she is sincere, and Ben Hou reluctantly eats it." ”

Before the words fell, Yan Mo also returned.

He was even more embarrassed now, and he had already known that he would stay in the house and not go anywhere. The figure of Miss Yin in the stove room was gone, and the five steamed bun cooks left in the pot were like guarding the baby, saying that they were going to leave it to Miss Yin for special instructions, and when her sister was hungry at noon, she would eat it hot.

Yan Mo quietly glanced at his own marquis, obviously looking forward to it, but he pretended to be embarrassed. It's good now, how can I explain to Hou Ye that Miss Yin didn't want to make breakfast for Hou Ye at all, and even the five steamed buns left in the pot were reserved for other people's sisters.

Unfortunately, Yan Shen asked again: "It's almost, right?" ”

Yan Mo is not good at words, and was forced to ask by Yan Shen, so he had to say directly: "...... It turned out to be a misinformation, and Miss Yin was just making breakfast for her sister. ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Changtang's face was slightly gloomy.

Yan Shen hurriedly said: "Breakfast!" Don't bring breakfast in yet! I'm hungry Hou Ye, only you ask! ”.

The time to go to Hokkeji Temple to enjoy the flowers is set at four o'clock in the morning.

Ah Yin ate and drank to his heart's content, told Jiang Xuan again, and got into the carriage. Not long after getting into the carriage, he was called down by Yan Mo again. She looked at Yan Mo's complicated appearance and asked, "Could it be that the Hou Ye is not going to Fahua Temple?" ”

Yan Mo said: "Please also ask the girl to get into the carriage in front." ”

Ah Yin looked at it, the carriage in front was spacious and luxurious, and at a glance, he knew that it was Mu Yanghou's exclusive carriage. She pursed her lips, said nothing else, and obediently got into the carriage. She gave a salute, and Mu Yanghou's voice sounded over there.

"Sit down."

Doesn't sound like you're in a good mood? She got up and sat down, not with her brows bowed as before, but looking up at him, her eyes bright and clear, black and white. He looked at it like this, and his mood was strangely better, and he asked, "What did you have for breakfast?" ”

Ah Yin said: "I drank white porridge and ate steamed buns. ”

"Oh? Steamed bread? ”

Ah Yin said: "I made a pot of steamed buns, and my sister likes to eat the steamed buns I made since she was a child. In the past, my family was not good, and I ate all the leftovers, and I was afraid that my sister would be hungry, so I mixed the dough and steamed a pot of steamed buns, which were big and round, bigger than a fist, and my sister could eat for two days. As if thinking of something, she smiled and said, "But it's all coarse food, not as good as what Hou Ye eats on weekdays." ”

Shen Changtang's words just reached his throat and he swallowed it back.

She said again: "If Master Hou wants to taste it, he will tell Ah Yin next time." Ah Yin is just a commoner, his talent is dull, and there are some things that Hou Ye doesn't know, and Ah Yin can't figure it out. After a long time, I'm afraid it will make Hou Ye angry. ”

He could hear something in her words.

Today she is very different from the past, and there is a lot of straightforwardness in her bright eyes.

He said, "You don't have to be presumptuous, you are not stupid, on the contrary you are very smart. I like that about you. He gently shook her hand and said, "Benhou has lived for twenty-eight years, and for the first time he met a girl, and wanted to put her in his sleeve pocket, cover her, protect her, and then take her home." ”

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly.

"Ah Yin, follow me back to Yongping."

She didn't have any expression, just looked at him quietly, and asked, "Ah Yin wants to ask Hou Ye, if I go back to Yongping with Hou Ye, how does Hou Ye want to settle me?" To be a sick girl? Or will you marry me? ”

It took so much courage to say that last sentence, and she could even feel her heart pounding hard.

Shen Changtang seemed to be stopped by her, and after a while, he said, "You have read my family letter, you should know ......"

She said, "Know what? Knowing that Hou Ye's marriage can't be the master himself? Or did Master Hou take me back to the trouble of wanting me to be a roommate? ”

Her tone was impulsive.

Shen Changtang twisted his eyebrows and said, "I didn't plan to let you be a room all the time, your family is too low, you want to be a wife, and the first one in the palace disagrees." He was a little annoyed, don't say that he is a wife, even the concubine and the emperor have set the door, she is such an identity as her wife, he can protect it for a while, there is always a time of negligence, and there is no need to die for a month and a half There is not even scum left. I wanted to be angry, but it can be seen that the first time she said that she would marry her, she still couldn't get angry. But he still had a cold face and said, "There is only one woman in Benhou's backyard, what difference does it make if you are a wife in a room?" ”

The cold face didn't last long, and the beard softened again.

He squeezed her hand and said, "I am twenty-eight years old, and the child of my age in Yongpingli is also seven or eight years old. My parents have always been very anxious, if you become my person, my parents will not be difficult for you. You will be in the house for a few years, and I will find an opportunity to improve your rank, or make a few more credits, and slowly improve your status. When you can be on your own, I'll let you be your wife. ”

That's a beautiful thing to say.

It seems that as long as she survives for a few years, she can turn a sparrow into a phoenix and become the wife of Yongping. But this qiē has to be established on the fact that he likes her as always, and even needs more care and pleasure to ensure that he is willing to earn credit for her day after day, year after year.

And what she has to do is to cling to this man, rejoice for him, and worry about him.

Moreover...... He can't do his own marriage, if the emperor makes a holy decree, can he still resist the decree?

Just like Xie Shaohuai, promises are all false.

She didn't believe it.

She asked again: "Can I still carve the core in the future?" ”

Shen Changtang thought she was convinced, rubbed her hand, and said softly: "Yes, but you can't show up outside." ”

She pulled her lips and smiled, leaning gently and lovingly on his shoulder. The warm fragrant nephrite struck, and he thought about the beauty of last night, as if the wind was beating the bamboo again. Her voice was soft and soft: "Master Hou, I don't want to be your wife anymore, and I don't want to be your roommate, I will go to Yongping with you, just ask Lord Hou to place me in the outer room." If the Hou Ye misses me, or needs me to serve the sick, I will wait for the Hou Ye in the soup. I just ask Master Hou to hide me well and not let anyone find out. If one day, the Hou Ye is tired of me, I don't seek glory and wealth, I only ask the Hou Ye to let me go home. ”

Half of his arm stiffened.

She was so considerate of him, but he was not happy at all.

He didn't say anything.

Ah Yin said again: "Master Hou, are you good?" ”

"The food in Fahua Temple is quite good, you can taste it when you arrive."

She's so annoyed, she doesn't ask for a name, she doesn't want anything, don't you just ask for one to wait for him to get tired of and let herself go! He wouldn't do that! Ah Yin stood up abruptly and sat directly on the other side of the carriage.

However, as soon as he sat down, the carriage suddenly jolted heavily a few times.

Then there was a clatter, and the wheels cracked. The carriage was now going downhill, and as soon as the wheels cracked, the heavy carriage rolled like a snowball. Ah Yindong stumbled around, only to feel that the sky was spinning, and with a bang, she fell out of the carriage, and when she raised her eyes, there were many more people in black on the hillside, and in the shadow of the sword and sword, someone shouted: "Mu Yanghou is over there!" ”

Yan Mo blocked the black-clothed man in front of him and said, "Master Hou, you go first." ”

Shen Changtang unfazed and pulled out a long sword from the scattered carriage, pulled up Ah Yin on the ground by the way, and said in a deep voice: "Follow me." Without waiting for Ah Yin to answer, he jumped on a horse, and the two of them quickly galloped towards the dense forest.

Ah Yin was panting very quickly, the first time he encountered such a scene, cold sweat had soaked his clothes.

After a while, she reacted and asked, "Someone is going to kill you?" ”

Shen Changtang didn't answer her, but his wheezing voice was a little heavy.

She wanted to turn to look at him, but he snorted and said, "Don't move." Ah Yin suddenly smelled the smell of blood, looked down, and found that Shen Changtang's clothes were stained red with blood, and the blood flowed out of his thighs. She was stunned, then remembered how he had been hurt. Just now, the carriage rolled over, and someone hugged her, no wonder she fell out unscathed.

He said again: "Don't be afraid, it's an ordinary assassination, but this time there are a little more people." ”

He was not surprised, obviously on the run, but his tone was as if the two of them were riding out on an outing. Ah Yin gradually reassured and said, "I understand. ”

After a while, he suddenly said: "There is an ambush ahead, hold on to it, if you are afraid, close your eyes." As soon as our eyes are opened, we will be safe. With that, he shouted, and as soon as the scabbard came out, the sword light was cold, and there seemed to be a buzzing sound.

He licked his lips: "I haven't used a knife for a long time." ”

Countless black shadows swarmed up like a swarm of ants, and Ah Yin was really scared, and closed his eyes deadly. The sound of swords in her ears continued, and the sound of stabbing into her body, and the ghosts in front of her eyes were stacked, and her hands were shaking.

It seemed like a year had passed, and the sound of fighting in my ears had not stopped, but it had become much less.

When she opened her eyes, the blood on Shen Changtang's legs was even stained red with her skirt, sticking to her thighs wetly.

She gasped.

There was a loud shout from the top of his head.

"Keep your head down!"

Ah Yin didn't react, only that the horses suddenly neighed as if they were out of control, their front hooves raised, and Ah Yin didn't grasp it firmly and fell to the ground. The pungent gore made her cough violently.

The horse was stabbed twice in the abdomen and back, and now he is going berserk.

Shen Changtang clamped the horse's belly, and when he was about to pull Ah Yin up, the remaining four men in black rushed towards Ah Yin in unison. His heart tightened, and the sword in his hand swung violently, directly through the heart of one of the men in black.

He abandoned his horse neatly and rolled over.

However, at this moment, Ah Yin in the pool of blood directly kicked the man in black in the lower abdomen.

The force was so strong that the man in black spat out blood, and before the man in black could react, Ah Yin's fist swung into his face again. is obviously a petite and delicate girl, but she punched a crooked nose.

The remaining two men in black were stunned.

Shen Changtang reacted as quickly as possible, pulled out his long sword, and quickly dealt with the remaining two men in black.

He looked at the stunned and stupid Ah Yin, but he laughed.

"Your brute force is not good to control, if you control it, you can kill it with one punch. Back to Yongping, I'll find a master to teach you. He reached out to wipe the blood from her forehead. As soon as the cold fingers touched her forehead, she shuddered violently and took two steps back sharply.

She lowered her eyes.

He sighed, "I promise you, don't be angry with me. When she arrived in Yongping, she slowly coaxed her back to the Hou Mansion, and she saved him, returned to Yongping, and asked the emperor to write down a credit for her. He used both a blade and a shield for the emperor, and it was only natural for him to earn fame for his people.

She still didn't speak.

At this moment, there was another sound not far away, Shen Changtang frowned, took her hand, and said, "They still have people, follow me." ”

The horses were no longer usable, their forefeet were cut off, and the two had to run on their feet.

After a short distance, Ah Yin suddenly lost his body and stumbled and fell to the ground. This is always the case when brute force is exhausted. She said, "You don't have to worry about me. Shen Changtang frowned and said, "Ben Hou hasn't left the ability of a woman to escape. ”

Then he squatted down and said in a deep voice, "Come up." ”

Ah Yin looked at his bleeding thigh, and wanted to refuse, but the voice behind her was getting closer and closer, so she had to grit her teeth and climb onto Shen Changtang's back.

The road seems to be getting extremely long.

She was lying on Shen Changtang's back, suddenly thinking.

If he wasn't a Hou Ye, he wasn't a proud son of the sky, he was just a pawn of a peddler, how good would it be. In this way, he will not always think about taking her to Yongping, and there will be no marriage that can only be decided by the heavenly family, let alone any family.

But it's all ifs.

What ifs in the world?

She whispered, "Master Hou, if you can't run, throw me down and throw it anywhere." I don't blame you, and I don't blame you. ”

"Don't make a noise."

He really couldn't move anymore, and his feet were still bleeding. He just had to hold on, and he had to wait until his Xuanjia guard arrived.

Suddenly, Shen Changtang found a cave not far away.

He gritted his teeth and ran forward.

However, at this time, he stepped on the air, and the two of them rolled like snowballs, with a crackling sound and the sound of clothes tearing, and finally I don't know what I bumped into, Ah Yin only felt a pain in his head and fainted directly.
