Chapter 16: Good Chess
was silent along the way, but Rao Di knew that he had remorse, this person has always been like this, eating soft and not hard, even if he knows that he is wrong, he will never admit his mistakes.
She didn't speak again, just wiped the tears from her face, lowered her head and read quietly.
Shen Zhu sent her back to the small courtyard and left, and Yang Qian, who stayed behind, found someone to arrange the fire dragon. Rao Tu hat to cover the face, the craftsmen in the courtyard are busy for a day, under the surface of the house with bricks to build a square pipe flue, at the end of the day, the mountain ghost lights a fire in the stove room, and sure enough, the house is warm up in a few moments.
The workers Yang Qian found were well skilled, and there was no choking smell of smoke when the ground fire burned, so Rao Tu finally didn't have to wear a heavy cloak in the house. In the evening, she was reading under the lamp, and the mountain ghost brought a charcoal brazier, on which hung a tin pot of sweet cans, and the warm fire smoked the dates to a bright light, exuding a sweet fragrance.
Rao Di looked at the mountain ghosts who were busy and said with a smile: "Are you planning to stay for a long time?" ”
The mountain ghost said: "It's actually pretty good here, no one bother, you can do whatever you want." ”
Rao Di said "um", nodded and said: "Eighteen or nineteen things are not as expected, but it is also a blessing to be able to get one or two wishes." You and I have no hunger and cold in this cold winter, but we don't know how many starving bones there are on the road. ”
The mountain ghost smiled and said, "Girl, when you say that, you look like an old monk who has let go of all fates and taken refuge in the Three Jewels. ”
"Let go of Wanyuan?" She smiled, "Good karma is extinguished, evil karma arises, I can't let go." ”
The mountain ghost came to the low stool beside her and sat down, "There is a strange thing, do you want to listen to it, girl?" ”
Rao Tu glanced at her, "If you want to say it, just say it, don't lose your appetite." ”
The mountain ghost stuck out his tongue and whispered in her ear: "When I went out of the city today, Princess Xunyang went to Shen Zhu's mansion. ”
"Oh? Princess Xunyang...... Is it the princess who insisted on marrying Shen Zhu before? ”
"Yes, speaking of that princess, it's also wonderful. wanted to marry Lord Shen, but after he politely refused, he even said that he was willing to be a concubine regardless of his identity, but he still was rejected. It is said that it is a beautiful embryo, why is Lord Shen unwilling to pity it? ”
"The emperor's daughter, he can't afford it. With his temperament, even if the princess was really a fairy, he would never dare to provoke him. Rao Tu stared at the candlelight, thoughtful.
The little girl nodded in agreement, and said without yin or yang: "Lord Shen likes to provoke the girl in the Qinglou, so there is nothing to taboo." ”
Rao Di stood up and paced around the stove, muttering, "The princess went to the Shen Mansion today, but Shen Zhu took me out of the city. You say, if you were Pei Qingwei, would you invite the princess into the mansion to catch up with the old days? ”
"Pei Qingwei is jealous, and she has an old grudge with the princess, how can these two talk about going together?" The mountain ghost was puzzled.
Rao Di shook her head and smiled: "With Pei's scheming, she can talk about Lord Shen's recent new love." ”
The mountain ghost was stunned, got up and said, "Could it be that Pei Qingwei wants to stab your affairs to Princess Xunyang?" ”
Rao Di sneered: "She should know that I am here, but she didn't make any moves, it turned out that she wanted to get rid of me under the pretense of the princess's hand." The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits. What a good move! ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a heavy knock on the door outside the door, "Secret prostitution has been rampant recently, I am ordered to come to search, open the door quickly!" ”
Rao Tu groaned slightly, and the mountain ghost summoned Yang Qian, who was guarding the courtyard, and Yang Qian said, "Madam, please rest assured, I will send them away." ”
"Don't go, they want to search for secret prostitutes, and when they see you here, how can you tell clearly? Quickly flip over the wall and go back to tell Lord Shen. ”
"This ...... Lord Shen ordered the little girl to protect the girl and did not dare to leave an inch. ”
Rao Di's tone was calm: "Then let me tell you, there are Princess Xunyang's soldiers outside the door, you can't stop them, and you can't protect me." ”
Yang Qian was still a little hesitant, and the mountain ghost stomped his feet and said, "Why are you so dull!" Hurry up and move the rescuers! ”
The sound outside the door was chaotic, Yang Qian listened to it, I am afraid that there are no less than twenty people coming, and he really can't stop it with his skills. He hugged his fists and said to Rao: "Girl, let's go around for a while, and go back quickly." As he spoke, he went out and climbed over the wall, and the figure rose and fell in the dark and disappeared.
Rao Tu instructed the mountain ghost: "Go and open the door, don't do anything." ”
