Rao Tu raised his hand and threw the green orange in his hand into the window, Shen Zhu stretched out his hand to take it, "Didn't you see Mr. Lu?" Throw another one in. ”

Rao Di picked a few yellow-peeled oranges from the basket and brought them into the house to Lu Zhiming, "Mr. eats this sweet." ”

Shen Zhu looked down at the green orange in his hand, a little shabby, "No, you treat it differently, can you not be so obvious?" ”

Rao Tu threw him a white eye that could be called a flattering eye, "If you love to eat, you won't eat it, and if you don't eat it, you will return me." ”

Shen Zhu pulled out the orange peel, broke a petal and threw it into his mouth, nodded and said, "Sour!" ”

Rao's eyes flashed, and she blurted out, "Is it sour?" ”

"It's very sour."

"Give me a taste."

"What are you going to eat your sweet, what are you robbing with me?" Shen Zhuxiao looked at Rao Tu, and his tone seemed to be teasing a child.

Rao gave him a real roll of the eyes, turned and walked out of the house.

Shen Zhu waited for her to leave, then removed the smile from his face, and after a long time, he said softly: "Want to eat sour?" ”

Lu Zhiming was fiddling with charcoal with iron tongs, and his hands were slightly stunned when he heard this. Shen Zhu was silent, but he took in Lu Zhiming's subtle reaction.

Rao Tu went out the door, turned a corner and stood still, retching against the wall. Liu Xing'er happened to see it, and hurriedly ran over to support her, and said worriedly: "Girl, what's wrong with you?" ”

Rao Tu shook her head, "The medicine prescribed by Mr. Lu the day before yesterday is still boiling, right?" ”

"Mmmm, it's already warm on the stove, and I'll drink it when the girl has breakfast." Yuxiu's sister-in-law made rouge goose breast, but it was fragrant, so she ate it with porridge, and the girl must like it. ”

Rao Di said in a low voice: "I don't want to eat meat and fishy things now, you go and tell Yuxiu to send a bowl of porridge to my house." ”

"Won't the girl eat with everyone?"

"No, I'll go and rest again, if Lord Shen asks later, just say I'm sleepy, don't mention anything else, you know?"

"Oh, got it."

Rao Di went back to the house to rest, Liu Xing'er remembered her instructions and waited for Lord Shen to ask. Unexpectedly, Lord Shen just ate quietly during the banquet and didn't ask a word.

After eating, Shen Zhu put down the bowl and went to the bedroom. He saw Rao Di lying on the bed, staring at the county chronicle with two eyes, and couldn't help but say: "Sleep when you sleep, read a book when you read, you lie on the bed and hold a book, aren't you tired?" ”

Rao Tu said confidently: "I'm not tired." ”

Shen Zhu glanced at the empty bowl next to him, "Just drank a bowl of white porridge?" ”

"Yuxiu also cooked a few yams for me to eat."

"Well, yam is good for the body."

Rao Tu said: "The yam I baked in the mountain stream before, you dislike it in every way. ”

"It's not because you're making it too bad to swallow." Shen Zhu took away the county chronicle she was holding in her arms, "It's so dark in the house, what can you look at?" Hurt eyes. ”

Rao said: "I'm so bored, I want to go for a walk, but I'm afraid that people will see trouble." ”

"What are you afraid of, just put on a hood."

"But people will recognize you, my eldest aunt saw your dignity, and now the village must have spread the word, saying that Lord Shen, you are an old man with white hair."

Shen Zhu laughed angrily, "Are you sure it's not a living immortal with a rich and handsome god?" ”

"Lord Shen, why don't you have any self-knowledge?"

Shen Zhu helped her up, "If you feel bored, go out for a walk, what if you are recognized." ”

Hearing his words, Rao Di suddenly smiled, "Shen Lang, let's go sell oranges!" ”

"Huh?"

"There are a lot of oranges in the yard, we can't eat them, and it's bad to put them away."

"If you don't go, if Jinling City knows that I Shen Zhu went back to Qingzhou to sell oranges, he will definitely laugh."

"If you don't go, I'll go." Rao Di lifted the quilt and walked outside the door to beckon Li Yu to pack his things.

……

Soon, the ferry gate of Gushuzhou was crowded with people, because there was a fairy concubine who set up a stall selling oranges at the ferry. And Lord Shen, who was dressed in a white jade robe, squatted there to give the fairy a hand.

The oranges were snatched up like crazy, and Rao Tu held dozens of earned copper plates in her hands, counting them one by one, with a smile in her eyes, she was really happy.

Seeing her fascination with money, Lord Shen turned out a hemp rope out of nowhere and gave it to her, "Thread the copper plate into a string so that you can take it." ”

Rao Tu took the hemp rope and wore it into a string of ninety-eight pieces. She said to Shen Zhu: "You lend me two copper plates, and I will make up a hundred Wen." ”

Shen Zhu frowned: "Where do I have two copper plates?" ”

Rao Tu thought for a while, "Also, how can Lord Shen have the habit of bringing a little money." Is my 3,000 taels of silver ticket ready? ”

"Nope."

Lord Shen, who was glaring angrily, "Stingy, I don't follow, you brought me out of Yuhe Building, and you didn't give me the money to redeem myself." ”

Shen Zhu ignored her nonsense and helped her up. With a sigh, the whole person went straight down.

Shen Zhu said nervously: "What? ”

"I ...... My leg is numb? ”

"I've been sitting for a long time, and you don't listen to you when you get up and walk, and now your legs are numb?" Shen Zhu scolded while squatting down to rub her legs.

At the ferry, a middle-aged Confucian who was setting up a stall to sell words looked at the two with a smile and sighed: "One life and one couple, half drunk, half awake and half floating." ”

Rao Di looked up and saw that he was dressed in a green cloth shirt, although he had sewn a few patches and washed white, he was clean and spirited, not the slightest downcast and shabby, but with the arrogance of pine and cypress.

She helped Shen Zhu to take a look, and saw a few books and calligraphy and paintings in front of the Confucian stall. Rao Di looked at those calligraphy and paintings, a little surprised, although she was average in calligraphy and painting, but the eye of evaluation was still there, because she pointed to a thin gold text and asked: "Sir, how much silver is this word?" ”

Confucius smiled and stretched out five fingers: "Fifty Wen." ”

Rao Di groaned: "Fifty wen is too little, I will write a hundred." He looked at Shen Zhu as he spoke.

Shen Zhu said: "What do you think I'm doing? ”

"I don't have enough money."

Shen Zhu was helpless, took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and sent it to the Confucian student, who accepted it calmly and wrapped the thin gold scroll and gave it to Rao Tu.

Rao Di took the words, and the Confucian took out a small book with no words on the cover from the stall, "Read it to Mrs. ”

Rao Di took the small book, opened it and read a few pages, only to see that there were dense small letters written in it, all of which commented on current affairs and Kuang Shi's governance of the country. Shen Zhu took the small book from the side and flipped through it from the beginning to the end.

Confucian stood quietly in front of the stall until Shen Zhu finished reading the volume, and he didn't say a word.

Shen Zhu put down the volume, his face was a little solemn, and returned the small book to the Confucian scholar, "Shen Zhu is inconvenient to say, but he is willing to point out a place." With Mr.'s talent, it is better to go west to Hanzhong, only to say that it is recommended by me Shen Zhu, and then some people will regard Mr. as a sleeping dragon and phoenix. ”

Confucius pushed open the scroll with a calm expression and arched his hand: "Thank you, Lord Shen, for your guidance." Without talking nonsense, he picked up the baggage he had prepared, turned around and got on the ferry boat. The books, scrolls, calligraphy and paintings on the stall are all gone.

Rao Tu looked at the Confucian student standing on the bow of the boat, and then looked at the calligraphy and painting on the stall, only to see the words "Mingqi Jushi" written on the place where the payment was made.

"Naruki?" Rao Tu muttered, "Who is he?" ”

Shen Zhu said: "Now he is unknown, but in the future, he will be a big man who stirs up the storm." ”

"You asked him to go to Hanzhong to help the fifth prince?"

Shen Zhu looked at her and said with a smile: "You have made a lot of money today, and in five years, this thin gold book of 100 yuan will be worth a thousand gold." ”

Rao Di looked at the long pile of books and calligraphy and paintings, and her eyes lit up: "What about these things combined?" ”

Shen Zhu put away the calligraphy and paintings in the book and rewarded her with two words: "Greedy!" ”

Rao Di followed Lord Shen and asked, "My uncle's family has a banquet tonight, will you go?" ”

"No, no."

"Why?"

"You hate them to the bone?"

"Not really."

Shen Zhu looked in the direction of Jinling City and said softly: "Since you don't want them to die, don't make friends now, after all, those people in Jinling City all like to settle accounts after the autumn, and they will destroy the Nine Clans at every turn." ”

Rao Di was slightly startled, and when she tasted the meaning of his words, she actually felt a little misanthropy, and was speechless for a while.

Shen Zhu held her hand, "Take you somewhere." ”

The mountain ghost rented a small boat and waited at the ferry crossing. Shen Zhu brought Rao Tu onto the boat, and the boat went down the river, and soon, Rao Tu smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms floating in the air. On the bank of the river, there is a goose yellow, a plum blossom forest.

Rao Di looked at Jiang Mei with full eyes, her eyes were far away, and it seemed that she had returned to many years ago, when she had smiled and smiled in this forest, and she was heartbroken here.

Here are her best memories, but also the loneliest times.

The boat was moored on the shore, Shen Zhu picked up Rao Tuheng and hugged him to the shore, he looked at the woman in his arms and said in a low voice: "It's heavy." ”

Rao Tu fell to the ground, lowered her eyes, and walked into the woods. In the forest, a dead tree was there, she stepped forward to look at the branches, and the buds had been extracted, the light green was almost transparent, and it looked so fragile, but Rao Tu knew that after a few spring breezes, they would be green and vivid.

The green tile house behind the old peach tree is gone, but the remnants of the low wall base can still be seen.

Shen Zhu looked at her who was too silent, and said softly: "Ah Yu......"

"I'm not Ayu." Rao Di raised her head slightly, looking at the branches of the peach tree, stubborn and stubborn.

Shen Zhu was silent for a moment and said, "Yes, you are not Ah Yan, and I am not Shen Yanbing." Ah ...... He was here for two thousand one hundred and thirty-nine days. ”

Silent, she walked to the base of a wall and wanted to sit down. Shen Zhu pulled her into his arms, sat down on the base of the wall, and pressed her to his lap.

He pinched Rao's chin and forced her to meet his own.

"You've been lazy all the time." He said.

Rao Tu shook her head: "Let's go back." ”

Shen Zhu was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "If this child doesn't want it, I will find the best doctor to help you slip the tire, and use the least harmful method." ”

Rao Tu was startled, subconsciously covering his lower abdomen, his eyes were frightened, and he didn't know when he saw the clue.

He said softly, "Don't be afraid"

Rao Di struggled to get up, but was hugged by him, she panicked: "You let go of me, it's my child, you don't want to snatch him away again!" ”

Shen Zhu's thick eyebrows tightened, "Don't get excited, this is your child, and it's mine." I have no descendants in my life, but I ...... Will you give birth to my child? ”

Rao Tu covered her heart, she cried: "It's not yours, it's just mine, it's the flesh and blood in my womb, what does it have to do with you?" ”

Shen Zhu held her face and choked her lips, with bone-eroding tenderness, "Ah, Ah...... In this life, it was I, Shen Zhu, who mistook you. ”

Rao Di burst into tears: "I hate you! I hate you! I can't wait for you to cut it with a thousand cuts! What is an understatement these days? I will never forgive you in my life. Knowing this, it would have been better to marry Fu Yin's son at the beginning, even if he was given a concubine, so what? ”

Shen Zhu's eyes were red, he hugged her tightly in his arms, and let her confide in her grievances for many years, as long as she vented it, he listened silently.

"Do you know that I lost everything for you? Do you know how cold it is at night in Qingjiang, do you know how many times I have stood on the boat, but I just want you to see the first person you see when you come back. Shen Zhu, you are not human, you have no conscience. I've waited so long, waiting for you to come back with another woman in your arms, waiting for your snub to torture......"

Shen Zhu shook her lightly and muttered, "I'm not a thing, I should die a thousand times ten thousand times, I should be stripped of my heart and skinned and cramped by you......

Rao Di's face was flushed with tears, and she said intermittently: "Don't you like Qinglou women...... Don't you like to linger in the dust? Okay, I'm going to be the most dissolute woman, I'm going to seduce you, I'm going to get revenge on you, I'm going to ruin you, I'm ...... I'm glad ......."

Shen Zhu let out an "um" and nodded: "Yes, I am willing to be tortured by you and retaliated by you, and my death at your hands is my creation." Save yourself from thinking about your shadow at midnight, thinking about your laughter, thinking about your sewing clothes, thinking about your cooking, thinking about your cooking, thinking crazy......"

Rao Di sobbed and felt the warmth dripping from her cheeks, and she opened her eyes to see the tears in his eyes. She stopped crying and looked at him in a daze.

After a long time, she said gloomily: "I paid ...... by mistake."

Shen Zhu raised his head slightly, forcing back the tears in his eyes, "That's right, you paid by mistake." I married you, but ...... but he will not be sincere to you. The bitter fruit of this day is my own suffering. ”

He wiped away the tears from her face with pity, "Ah Yu, I owe you, and I will pay it back with my life." ”

Rao Di originally stopped crying, but when she heard him say this, she couldn't help crying again, "What do I want your life for?" Shen Zhu, you never thought about it for me. Get out! Go back to the capital to marry your princess, I don't want to see you in this life. ”

She ripped off her close-fitting purse and stuffed it into his hand, "This is your antidote, you get out of the way for me!" ”

He held the bottle of antidote, and for a moment he felt that everything was burning inside, and he knew that she had finally chosen to forgive. But he couldn't drag her down any longer, the only thing he could do was to arrange the rest of her life so that she could have a relatively peaceful state of mind.

He took the antidote into his arms, "Ah Yu, these days, you and I are feasting on ice or not, just a few days." There was a chilling sadness in his tone.

Rao Tu looked into his eyes, which she had been obsessed with for many years, because there was endless tenderness in them. This is also the eye that she has resented for many years, because it seems to be forever cold and cold.

She couldn't help but hold his face, imprinted a faint kiss on those two thin lips, and said two words softly: "Yan Bing." ”

In exchange, it was his ardent and repressed attachment.

The mountain ghost waited outside the forest for a long time before Lord Shen came out with Rao in his arms. The mountain ghost was a little puzzled, because she not only saw that Rao's eyes were red and swollen, but even Lord Shen's eyes were a little moist.

She sneered: "Two masters, you ......"

Shen Zhu said: "Go back." ”

"Oh......"

The boat rowed to the opposite shore, Rao Di was carried back to the yard by Lord Shen, she cried so much that she had no strength, and she was a little groggy with her arms around Shen Zhu's neck.

When Lu Zhiming saw this scene, he probed the pulse for Rao Tu and didn't say anything. It was Shen Zhu's words that made him slightly startled, "I'm tired of Mr. Lu prescribing some medicine to protect the fetus." ”

After Lu Zhiming was taken aback, he nodded indifferently. "The fetus is a little unstable, so it's really not appropriate to be sad."

Shen Zhu said: "I know. ”

Mrs. Xie hadn't seen Rao Di much this day, and when she heard that she was picked up by her uncle, she was anxious and sent Yuxiu to ask. Rao Di said on the bed: "I didn't slow down from the rush a few days ago, tell grandma not to worry, I will go to see grandma later." ”

The mountain ghost and Liu Xing brought the boiled medicine, and Shen Zhu broke it open and fed her. How can Rao Tu treat him as the banquet of the year for a while, some things and some people will never come back if they disappear.

However, after the two of them opened their words, Rao Di didn't pretend anymore, and his attitude became uncertain. For example, this time, Shen Zhu fed her yam, and she ate it obediently, and she was not so resistant as before, but she didn't have a good face.

After eating, I went to Mrs. Xie's room with Shen Zhu to talk to the old lady, and the uncle's house over there invited me twice, the first time Shen Zhu said not to go, and the second time the eldest lady came to invite in person, but Yang Qian blocked the door and didn't come in.

Late at night, Rao Di cleaned up and lay down on the bed, I don't know if it was because of crying or pregnancy, her body was very tired, and she soon fell asleep.

When Shen Zhu waited for the child, he walked out of the yard, and Yang Qian had already prepared the horse and waited outside. He climbed on horseback and walked towards the old mansion of the Shen family.

Rao Di slept lightly, faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and immediately woke up, and when she saw that Shen Zhu was no longer in the room, she called the mountain ghost, "You secretly see if Mr. Lu and Yang Qian are there." ”

From time to time, the mountain ghost came back, shook his head and said, "It's not here, not even Zhenlong." ”

Rao Di instructed her: "Secretly go to the Shen family's old house to have a look, there is movement tonight." Don't be noticed. ”

The mountain ghost liked this kind of snooping mission very much, and went with a lot of promise.

Rao Di waited for a long time, and when the sky was faint, the mountain ghost came in through the window and startled her.

She patted her chest and said, "When you come in, you go through the door, how can you come in through the window?" ”

The mountain ghost patted his head, "I opened several windows in the Shen family's old mansion just now, and I didn't slow down for a while." Girl, take care of me. ”

Rao Tu hurriedly asked what he had heard. The mountain ghost said: "I don't know what trap Lord Shen set up to catch the woman who came to snatch the black silk book, guess who?" ”

"How can I guess?"

"We met that woman in Jinling City, and she is the proprietress of the hot pot restaurant in Yongzi Lane."

Rao Di was stunned, "Boss lady? She immediately remembered the woman with bright eyes and bright teeth who called Xiao Yanning a "lost dog". "Is it Xiao Yanning's person?"

The mountain ghost shook his head, not knowing.

Rao Tu asked again, "What else did you hear?" ”

Lord Shen asked the woman to go directly to Tongchuan. As for what exactly is on the black silk book, I haven't heard it. ”

"Tongchuan? It turned out to be not Hanzhong. ”

"It's Tongchuan in Shuzhong, not Hanzhong."

Rao Di is a little strange, she knows that the six kings will go to Shu to be the king, is the proprietress of the hot pot restaurant the one of the six princes?

The mountain ghost said again: "The martial arts of the proprietress have the legacy of Xishu, and it is the martial arts inheritance of the Qingcheng faction. ”

Rao Di nodded and said softly: "She speaks with a Xishu accent, and she should be a remnant of Xishu." ”

The mountain ghost wondered: "I don't know what Lord Shen is doing, one will ask the old Confucian student who sells words to go to Hanzhong, and the other will ask the proprietress of the hot pot restaurant to go to Tongchuan, what kind of bureau do you say he is arranging?" ”

Rao said: "If you want to know, just go and set Yang Qian's words." ”

The mountain ghost raised his eyebrows: "Yang Qian is a piece of wood, how can he have a talk?" Besides, I don't really want to know. ”

"You can ask at will, and you won't suffer."

"Girl, don't look at Yang Qian stunned, but in some aspects, he seems to have learned a lot from Lord Shen."

"What?"

"It's just quiet, but it's very sexy." The mountain ghost whispered in her ear.

Rao Tu Ren smiled and asked, "How do you know?" ”

"For example, that time, I was hit with thirty boards, and the man actually wanted to see the wound on my buttocks."

Rao Tu stretched out her hand and poked it on the mountain ghost's temple, "Hold a grudge? Yang Qian was just in a hurry. Don't give me these useless ...... However, Yang Qian is not only smart but also very cautious, you really can't ask anything from him. ”

"I think so too."

"Then you go to the Shen family's old mansion and keep an eye on me. Rest during the day and explore at night. ”

The mountain ghost agreed, but heard the sound of horses' hooves outside. The mountain ghost went out of Rao's room and saw Yang Qian bolting his horse outside the door, and the little girl smiled at Yang Guard, which frightened Yang Qian for a moment.

"Brother Yang, where are you coming from?" The mountain ghost said sweetly.

When Rao Tu in the house heard the pretentious "Brother Yang", she couldn't help coughing a few times, a little speechless, and only felt goosebumps.

Yang Qian was not much better, as if a thunderbolt struck him on his head in the air, and he was silent for a long time before he said embarrassedly: "Mountain ghost, you should call me Yang Qian directly...... That, Lord Shen asked me to go out on errands, so I came back. ”

The mountain ghost was frustrated and wiped out the smile on her face, at this time she wanted to kill.

On the Qingjiang River, Shen Zhu, Lu Zhiming and Zhenlong took the same boat. Lu Zhiming said: "I have already sensed the killing opportunity. A lot of people came to the old house last night. ”

Shen Zhu said: "It's not for me, it's for Ayu." At this time, Prince Yu will never let me die, and he is eager to send the Praetorian Guards in Beijing to protect my safety. ”

"Is it Princess Xunyang?"

"Yes, with the murderous intention, it seems that the princess has made up her mind and doesn't want Ah Yu to go back."

"When Ah Yu returned to Beijing, he was in crisis. But if you stay here, I'm afraid that it will be even more dangerous when you leave. ”

Shen Zhu nodded in agreement with Lu Zhiming's words, "I knew that Princess Xunyang would make up her mind, but I didn't expect her to wait so much." ”

"Do you have a solution?"

Shen Zhu took out a small porcelain vase from his arms, and he said: "When I returned to Beijing this time, I already had the heart of death. ”

"If you don't advise Xiao Yanning to go to Hanzhong in front of the old emperor, maybe Prince Yu won't be in such a hurry to unload the mill and kill the donkey after he ascends the throne."

Shen Zhu shook his head and said: "After the crown prince's ceremony, the northern envoy left Beijing, the northern border was going to be chaotic, and Xiao Yanning had to go to Hanzhong." I didn't promise Xiao Yanning for a bottle of antidote, he is a person who can guard the country for the people of Daliang, let him stay in Hanzhong, at least ...... At least the north will not dare to act rashly for five years. ”

"And what about five years from now?"

"It's a game for deer chasers, but I ...... It doesn't matter so much. ”

He raised his hand, and the porcelain vase made an arc in the air, fell into the water, and sank straight down.
