Shen Zhu turned the book of "Visiting the Dao" to the last side, and a few words were written on it, "The weak daughter of the Xu family in Qingzhou, the young phoenix is very precious, and the lonely Luan is lifed." Bizarre. ”

His hands trembled slightly, and he muttered, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Lu Zhiming gently took the "Reference Deed", "At that time, Lord Shen knew that once he died, he also knew that after his death, the emperor would not buy the Xu family's affection, and the Xu family in Qingzhou would definitely fall apart, and he was going to break the life of the young daughter of the Xu family." ”

"Xu's young daughter...... Be...... Who is it? ”

Lu Zhiming did not answer this question, but sighed: "But I don't know, my fate is determined." ”

Shen Zhu was on the verge of collapse, "Before my father died, he told me to marry the daughter of the Xu family by all means, and I only said that he was to avenge me......"

Lu Zhiming shook his head and said, "Wrong." ”

"Then why is it so arranged, and what is it planning?"

"Ling Zun is well versed in Qimen gossip and Tianli fate, why are you not good at this way?"

"He said that this was a great rebellion to peek into the heavens, and he never let me get contaminated."

"Ling Zun knows that the great rebellion is intolerable, so there may be another reason for what happened back then, and I don't know what the boss is planning."

Shen Zhu got up and walked to the courtyard, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the people in the city have the custom of getting up in the morning to set off firecrackers to remove the old year, there is a smell of firecrackers burning in the air, he closed his eyes and sniffed carefully, and said softly: "I haven't been back to Qingzhou for a long time, and the New Year's flavor of Qingzhou is stronger than this." ”

"Your Excellency is ready to leave for Qingzhou?"

"I'm running out of time." As he spoke, he turned to Lu Zhiming and made a gesture, "The old case is full of fog, and I also ask Mr. Lu to go to Qingzhou with me to solve my doubts." ”

Lu Zhiming returned the salute, "It's a matter of duty." ”

Shen Zhu said: "I'll leave early tomorrow morning." ”

Lu Zhiming nodded, looking at the background of his departure, this young Taoist who had never known what the world was like sighed, "She is bitter, and you are also bitter." ”

Plum Blossom Dock, Rao Di stood on the edge of the water, watching the little girl mountain ghost holding a firecracker in her hand, lighting a firecracker's hyacinth, and then quickly throwing it into the water, blowing up a splash, and having fun.

Yang Qian looked a little depressed on the side, and didn't understand why a little girl's family liked to play this?

Rao Tu looked at the boat slowly coming from the water in the distance, and said to the mountain ghost: "Do you have the ability to throw firecrackers into the cabin?" ”

The mountain ghost looked at it fixedly, she had the ability, but the courage was lacking, she said with a bitter face: "Girl, why do you always cheat me?" I want to believe in your evil and throw it in, and the Lord Shen inside will not reward me with thirty boards when he comes up? ”

Rao Tu smiled and said, "It's Mr. Lu in there, not Lord Shen." ”

The mountain ghost blinked, "Since it's Mr. Lu, he has no grudge or grudge, and he shouldn't blow him up." ”

"Mr. Lu is always serious, it's really boring, I'm not trying to tease him, and I won't really hurt him."

The mountain ghost thought about it carefully, it seemed to make some sense, but it was a little wrong, "I still don't want it, I'm a maid, even if Mr. Lu doesn't mind, Lord Shen will still reward me when he knows about it." ”

Rao sighed and snatched a firecracker from the mountain ghost's hand, "You don't play, I'll play." ”

The mountain ghost's head shook like a rattle, "Girl, don't be reckless, you sluggish energy, don't blow up your hands!" ”

Rao Tu ignored it, put up the fire fold of the mountain ghost, and with a "bang", she raised her hand and threw it, and the firecrackers exploded in the air, scaring Xiao Shun who was holding the boat on the water.

Shen Zhu came out of the cabin, the mountain ghost gasped, glanced at Rao Di sadly, and hurriedly retreated behind her to hide.

Rao Tu smiled and looked at Lord Shen who was standing in the wind on the bow of the boat, "Shen Lang Yushu is in the wind, so handsome and free." ”

When the boat docked, Shen Zhu came to Rao's side, wrapped her whole person in his cloak, and reprimanded: "Standing in this tuyere, I don't know how to wear one more piece of clothing? ”

Rao Tu snuggled in his warm arms and said coquettishly: "I'm not waiting for you, I won't see you for a moment, like every other autumn." ”

Shen Zhuyi leaned over and hugged her all over the place, and exclaimed, "What are you doing, let me go quickly." As he spoke, he stretched out his feet and kicked in the air.

Shen Zhu looked at her embroidered shoes that were stained by slush, "When you come out in shoes like this, you will get wet after walking a few steps, and your feet will be frozen and swollen when the time comes, don't shout pain." ”

Rao Tu reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, smiling silently.

"What are you staring at me?"

"Shen Lang is good-looking, and he is reluctant to look away."

Shen Zhu carried her back to the warm pavilion, put her on the edge of the bed, squatted down and took off her embroidered shoes, but saw that the socks inside were already wet, and when she took off the socks, her feet were red.

Her feet were born beautifully, with slender ankles and slightly upturned toes, which were beautiful and natural, and the toes that were originally white and jade-like were now red.

Shen Zhu used his big slender hands to hold her two feet and ordered the mountain ghost to prepare a medicinal bath.

Rao said: "Do you still want a medicinal bath today?" Mr. Lu did not instruct. ”

Shen Zhu said "um", "Naturally, you can't stop." ”

The mountain ghost quickly prepared a decoction, and the bath bucket was filled with herbs, and soon the heat enveloped the smell of medicine, filling the room.

Rao Tu pushed Shen Zhu away, but he sat still like an old monk, "I read books, not you." ”

Rao Di doesn't believe it, she doesn't know this person yet! "You read the book and look outside."

Shen Zhu reached out and pinched her cheek, "Go quickly, the water is going to be cold." ”

Seeing that she couldn't get rid of him, she had to give up and snorted, "The water is hot!" If you're willing to be smoked, stay there. ”

As he spoke, he undressed and stepped into the bathtub, and the decoction did not reach his neck. Shen Zhu took a book casually, but his eyes were not on the book, looking at the figure bathing inside, he said, "Let's leave for Qingzhou tomorrow." ”

Rao Tu blinked, "I'm not going." ”

"Mr. Lu will go back with me, the remaining poison on your body has not been cleared, and you need Mr. Lu to treat the poison for you."

"Then you let Mr. Lu stay."

Shen Zhu glanced at her and said with a dark face, "I'm not at ease." ”

Rao Di deliberately angered him, "What's not to worry about, although Mr. Lu is a little more elegant, he is a monk, and I won't beat his idea." ”

Shen Zhu exhaled a long breath and said to Liu Xing, who was waiting outside, "Go and pack your wife's clothes and bring all the medicines you need." ”

Rao Tu pursed her lips and said angrily: "How many days?" ”

"Come back before the Lantern Festival." He looked at the book, seemingly nonchalant.

Rao Tu nodded and smiled: "I have to come back before the Lantern Festival, but I can't miss the good time for you to marry the princess." ”

Shen Zhu put down the book and walked into the curtain, and waved his hand to the mountain ghost, who immediately lowered his head and withdrew.

Rao Di sat in the barrel, looked up at Lord Shen with a black face, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and said loudly: "What do you mean by Lord Shen, and you want to prostitute yourself during the day?" ”

Shen Zhu was angry, looked at her with only one head in the medicinal soup and stared at her, and said in a deep voice: "In the future, I will say a word of meat, and remember that the mountain ghost and Liu Xing will each be punished with ten rods." ”

The mountain ghost and Liu Xing'er trembled when they heard this, obediently, what is this?

Rao Tu frowned, her eyes cutting him like a knife, "What I said I am happy with, what does it have to do with you?" ”

"If you have a good place to go in the future, you are not ashamed to do this?" He asked with a frown.

Rao was stunned for a moment, "Good place?" I don't have a good place to go. ”

Shen Zhu didn't say anything, picked up the cotton towel in the water and wiped her body. Rao's eyes were slightly red, "I know, after you marry the princess, you won't want me, and you will give me to others at will, right?" ”

Shen Zhu's strength in wiping her body was a little heavier, and seeing that he didn't speak, Rao Tu continued: "I'm a person, I was tossed like this by you, how can any good people want me, and you don't have to care about me after marrying the princess." I'm left to fend for myself. ”

Shen Zhu asked in a deep voice: "What does it look like?" ”

Rao Di looked up at him, and saw that there was anger, distress, and the desire to endure in those handsome eyes.

He untied the jade belt around his waist with one hand, took off his coat, and stepped out of the medicine barrel wearing only a middle coat. Rao Tu shrank to the side and said stiffly: "I'm not wrong, you married a princess, so naturally you don't want me anymore." ”

Shen Zhu still didn't speak, scooped the woman into his arms, and reached out to untie her shirt. Rao said angrily: "You get out! Shen Zhu, you are not as good as a beast! ”

He said leisurely: "I'm not as good as a beast, I have always been, you only know today?" ”

Rao Di looked at his burning gaze, which she had never seen before, and couldn't help but be a little timid, and frowned: "I have a good bath medicine, don't bother me." ”

"I won't bother you, help you." He said as he kneading his fingers on several acupuncture points on her body, and said slowly: "Mr. Lu said that this method can increase the effect of medicine. ”

Rao Tucai didn't believe it, "It's obvious that you have a crooked mind and want to belittle me." ”

Shen Zhu said "um", "If you think like this, it's okay." ”

After the medicated bath, Rao Di's body was hot and her face was red. Shen Zhu ordered clean water to be prepared and personally served her to bathe. After washing, wrap her whole body in a plush cotton cloth, put her on the bed, and wipe her hair.

Rao Tu was delicate and weak, I don't know if it was the effect of the medicinal bath, and fell asleep. Lu Zhiming took a look, and only said that it didn't matter, he added the ingredient of hemp boiling to the medicinal bath to dissolve the pain when she was healing the poison, so he was so spiritless.

Shen Zhu watched her lie quietly on the bed, his mind turning. Many years ago, it was also a cold winter, and she had to go to the river to wash his dirty clothes with her arms, but she came back with a fever. He remembered that she had been lying on the bed with a pale face for a day, and he wanted to ignore her, but seeing her haggard appearance on the bed, he couldn't help but be anxious, hugged her in the middle of the night, and wiped her with a hot sweat towel.

She was sick and groggy, but there was a smile on her pale face.

She loves to laugh, and there is a smile everywhere in the corners of her eyes. When he was young, he didn't understand why such a young lady from a rich and noble family, after marrying him, didn't dislike coarse tea and light food, didn't think she was poor, why she could smile so pure and clean, without the slightest complaint.

Then he understood, and she stopped smiling like that. On that rainy night, the laughing woman died.

He had resisted with all his willpower, and he had always warned himself that he had a deep hatred for her. But after five years of Merlin, he was still hopelessly in love with her. She was a virtuous and gentle wife, a rare good woman, but at her age, when she had endless love for herself and a beautiful vision of love, he deliberately snubbed her and tortured her......

Shen Zhu stared at her frowning brows, bent over the edge of the bed and bent down slightly, he couldn't wipe her eyebrows, like a love-hate entanglement that couldn't be broken up for ten years. There is only one death.

In the middle of the night, Rao Tu woke up and saw Shen Zhu lying sideways beside him, his arms around his waist. Rao Tu reached out and brushed his eyebrows, gently rubbing the gloom away.

He opened his eyes and met her peach blossom eyes, and for a moment, it was like back then. Even if her usual laughter and anger were fake, at this moment, Shen Zhu was extremely sure that the bitterness in her eyes was true.

He lightly imprinted a kiss on her brow.

Rao Tu turned her head and was about to say something choking, but her stomach rang untimely, and she was a little embarrassed.

Shen Zhu asked softly, "Hungry?" ”

"Hmmm......"

"What do you want to eat?"

Rao Tu tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Sugar gourd." ”

"Sugar gourd?" Shen Zhu was a little surprised.

"I dreamed that the child was eating a sugar gourd. If my child hadn't died, he would have been pestering me to eat sugar gourds by now. Rao Tu muttered with a mist in her eyes.

Shen Zhu hugged her tightly, and he remembered the story she said in the mountain stream, her child, who was gone on a rainy night.

At that time, he wanted to find the man who impregnated her, and he wanted to cut that man with a thousand cuts, and it turned out that he was the man in the end.

Indeed, he should have cut it with a thousand cuts.

"I want to eat sugar gourds." Rao was in his arms, and a tingling sensation reached his chest as he spoke.

"Okay, I'll buy it."

"Are you going to buy it, or are you going to let Yang Qian buy it?" Rao Tu looked up and asked.

"I'll go."

The complexity in her eyes flashed, and when she saw that he had already gotten up and put on his clothes and walked outside, she was relieved, "It's the middle of the night, it's still the beginning of the year, and it's estimated that there is no one on the street." ”

Shen Zhu said firmly: "Yes." ”

Rao Tu watched him push the door and leave, sat dry for a while, and the mountain ghost sent in a bowl of lotus seed porridge, "Lord Shen ordered, the girl is hungry to drink some of this first." ”

Rao Di picked up the jade bowl, and the slightly hot feeling disturbed her mood. "Mountain ghost, I'm a little tired......"

The mountain ghost stepped forward to support her, "The girl is tired, and the mountain ghost knows." No matter what you ultimately do, I'll listen to you. ”

Rao Di took a sip of the jade bowl in her hand, "I'm going back to Qingzhou tomorrow, are all the things ready?" ”

"Ready."

She put down the porridge bowl, took out a porcelain bottle from the secret box in the bed, and put it in her personal purse, which was given to her by Xiao Yanning, the other half of the antidote to the peach blossom dew.

The mountain ghost held the tray of lotus seed porridge, "Girl, drink more, soothing." Tomorrow is a journey, and it will be tiring. ”

Rao Tu shook her head, "It's tasteless, I want to eat sour." ”

The mountain ghost frowned slightly and sent the lotus seed porridge out. Shen Zhu came back with a paper bag, and with an air conditioner, he gave the paper bag to the mountain ghost and sent it to the inner hall, he stood in the outer hall for a while to warm up before walking to the inner hall.

Rao Di opened the paper bag, and there was a string of rock sugar gourds inside, each round and bright, with an attractive color. She glanced at Shen Zhu, "Baba went so far and brought such a string back, how stingy are you?" ”

"It's not good to eat too much in the middle of the night, it's sour, and I have a toothache and a stomachache."

Rao Tu took a small bite, the sugar coating was crisp, and it was mixed with the hawthorn pulp, which was sour and sweet. Shen Zhu reached out and pinched off the sugar residue at the corner of her mouth, "Is it delicious?" ”

"Okay." As she spoke, she took a bite of the remaining half of the hawthorn in her mouth, her cheeks bulging, and she looked like she was chewing a little hard.

Shen Zhu was helpless, and said with a straight face: "Be reserved, no one will rob you." ”

Rao Tu brought the second sugar gourd on the skewer to his lips, and he hesitated for a moment, then bit the one off the skewer, and then brought it to Rao Tu's mouth.

Rao Di took a bite of his mouth with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Shen Lang understands me." It's hard to bite on the stick, so it's better to eat your ready-made. ”

Shen Zhu bit her down one by one, she ate half of it, and he ate half of it. A string of sugar gourds was quickly divided, and Rao Di was satisfied, rinsed her mouth, drank tea, and fell asleep.

Shen Zhu was so silent that when she was about to sleep, she took his hand in a daze and asked him why it was a little strange. He rubbed her face, speechless.

On the second day, a few cars and horses drove from Shenfu and slowly left the capital.

Lu Zhiming and Shen Zhu sat in one carriage, and Rao Tu and mountain ghost Liu Xing'er sat in another.

Rao's car is spacious and stable, with a small kettle in it, and Rao Tu is holding a hand stove smoked with spring incense in the snow. The walls of the car are made of high-quality golden silk nanmu, which is extremely thick, and the effect of keeping warm from the cold is excellent.

Rao Di was a little bored, and she was tired of reading books, and she was holding the jade flute and blowing it all the time, and it didn't make a tune along the way, and the two heads of the mountain ghost and Liu Xing were dizzy.

The mountain ghost really couldn't listen to it, and stretched out a finger to block the hole of the jade flute, "Girl, you should blow a tune." ”

Rao Tu shook her head and said, "It's easy to leak your mood when you blow the tune." ”

The mountain ghost pursed his lips, "Anyway, you're in a pretty messy mood right now, I can hear it." ”

Rao Tu knocked her head with a jade flute: "What kind of cleverness are you shaking?" ”

The carriage shook, and the carriage suddenly stopped. I only heard a delicate voice shouting outside: "Oh, this is the New Year, which son-in-law is a relative, what a big battle." Come out and let the slave family take a look, is it handsome or not? ”

The mountain ghost lifted the heavy curtain, looked through the gap, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. There were more than a dozen roadblocks in different costumes in front of them.

Those people are too weird, there are big monks with bare heads and bare breasts, there are sick and ghostly scholars, there are rough men with a huge pen in their hands, there are Hua Dan actors with heavy makeup, there are white-faced bearded men with colorful clothes and fans, and there are even more bewitching women in light red gauze clothes who want to expose their breasts and thighs.

Ten people scattered around, all of them rode high-headed horses, and they were very eye-catching in front of the road.

The mountain ghost sighed and sighed: "Crooked melon and cracked dates!" ”

Rao Di knocked her head with the jade flute again, "The cow ghost snake god will be more appropriate." ”

The mountain ghost rubbed his head and said depressedly: "In this group of people, there is no one who can see it." ”

Rao Tu smiled: "Look at that aunt in red, isn't it very good-looking?" ”

The mountain ghost choked, and she could see the crow's feet in the corners of the woman in red's eyes from such a distance. Even if he was eye-catching when he was young, now he is a, and he is still dressed so flamboyantly and presumptuously, which is a bit too much to say.

Yang Qian outside hugged his fists on the horse and said: "The head of the family is anxious to go to his relatives, and I also ask the heroes to make it convenient." ”

Mountain ghost: "Huh? sighed, and said unhappily: "Why is Yang Qian so soft everywhere?" ”

I saw the woman in red with her arms on the horse's head, her hands on her cheeks, and her chest style could be described as magnificent, and she said in a flattering voice: "If you want to go, you can leave something as a souvenir." ”

Liu Xing'er was surprised, stared at her round eyes and realized it later: "Is this a robbery by bandits?" ”

Rao Di didn't answer the little girl, only to see a blue-gray Taoist robe come out of the carriage in front of her, and the red-clothed woman's eyes immediately lit up, and she said with all kinds of amorous: "The little Taoist priest is a good skin, it is better to stay in the double cultivation room with the slave family, how about it?" ”

Lu Zhiming's tone was calm: "I don't know how to do this." ”

The woman in red laughed: "You don't understand, the slave family can teach you." ”

The mountain ghost gritted his teeth and scolded, "! "You're going to get out and beat people.

Rao Tu pressed her shoulder, "Be careful." ”

A small flower snake suddenly emerged from the chest of the woman in red, spat out the red letter, and then drilled back. The man in colorful clothes next to him shook the folding fan, and said in a strange manner: "Snake Niang, don't complain when you see a man, let the animal in your arms be quiet." ”

The woman who was called "Snake Niang" was not angry, but Qianqiao Baimei glanced at the man in colorful clothes, "The old lady changed her taste, the rough man ate too much, what's wrong with changing it to something light by chance?" ”

The man in colorful clothes smiled, and looked Lu Zhiming up and down, "I'm afraid that this Taoist priest can't satisfy you." Is there a handsome guy in the car? Don't get out of here quickly, when the time comes, go to the snake girl's couch with the Taoist priest, you will enjoy. ”

The mountain grimace was almost green, and when she saw that Rao Di was actually pursing her lips and smiling, she couldn't help but wonder: "Girl, you can still laugh." ”

"Isn't it funny that the Eight Dou University Scholar, the Waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the Priest of the Country, is it not funny to be teased like this under the blue sky and white sun?" Rao Tu asked with a smile.

The mountain ghost stared at the man in colorful clothes, his expression very entangled.

"What, what's the matter?"

The mountain ghost said uncertainly: "This person seems to be one of the top ten evildoers in Jiangzuo, Caiyi Jinxiulang." It is rumored that he practiced the evil art of collecting yin and supplementing yang, and even humiliated his own sister to death. Now both black and white are offering heavy rewards for this person's head. ”

"Colorful clothes and splendid lang?" Rao Tu sneered.

The man in colorful clothes suddenly flashed his eyes, and his eyes fell on Rao's car, "Yo! The young lady in the car, what are you calling my brother for? Don't worry, it's going to hurt you. ”

As he spoke, his figure flew up from the big horse and swept straight towards Rao's car.

Lu Zhiming kicked lightly on the ground, and a stone flew up with a whizz, crashing into the knee of the Caiyi Jinxiulang, and the Caiyi Jinxiulang "Huh? With a thud, he flipped in the air to avoid the stones, and then rolled to the ground.

He looked at Lu Zhiming again, and his smile was complicated: "The Taoist priest has some ability. ”

Rao Tu helped the mountain ghost, walked out of the car with a smile, and everyone's eyes lit up, where did such a bright and moving woman come from? What's more, there was no fear on his face, and it turned out to be a gloating expression.

The eyes of the colorful clothes and splendid lang were straight, but the red-clothed snake lady with all kinds of charms immediately surged with murderous intent.

Rao Tu smiled and looked at the snake lady, "This aunt, don't be in a hurry to kill me." The little woman has a husband who is a shrinking turtle in the car, and I will give him to my aunt to take pity on me, can you spare my life? ”
