Rao Tu narrowed her eyes and got up and walked to the door. I saw a middle-aged woman dressed in fancy clothes walked into the courtyard, wearing heavy makeup, the powder on her face weighed a pound, and her body was slender, but her waist was twisted, and she did not have the stability and dignity that she should have at her age.

Behind the woman was a middle-aged man in a gray fur, with a brown belt around his waist, square lips, and a flat forehead. There was a little smile on his face, which was much more reluctant than the smile on the face of the woman in front of him.

Rao Tu gently blessed her body and said with a smile: "Uncle, aunt, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?" ”

The eldest uncle, Sun, is a woman who must compare the baht and the watery poplar flower, the uncle has no ability, has a weak temperament, is stuffy, and is very afraid of guilt.

The Sun family "tsk", stepped forward and took Rao's hand affectionately, and said: "I haven't seen you for ten years, but I didn't expect our Ah Yu to become so good-looking!" If I don't say this, how can I still recognize my aunt as Ah Yu back then, just as a fairy has come! ”

Rao Tu withdrew her hands and did not reply with polite words, she was tired of this hypocrisy, but she still had a faint smile on her face, giving people a sense of gentleness, but she rejected people thousands of miles away.

Sun didn't seem to notice her alienation, squinted his eyes on tiptoe into the room, and lowered his voice: "Where's my uncle?" I heard that my uncle is a big official in the capital, and he has a lot of opportunities, so he is still dealing with official documents? ”

Rao Tu smiled and said, "No, he went out." ”

"Where have you gone, are there any relatives in this village?"

"I went to Qingzhou Mansion Yin."

"Oh!" The woman became serious, as if she had heard some great secret.

Rao Di looked at the middle-aged man standing in the courtyard and said with a smile: "Uncle hasn't been here for a long time, grandma is thinking about you." ”

The uncle's expression was very embarrassed, and he smiled reluctantly, "Ah Yu, since you are back, you will stay longer, and the old lady is happy to see you." ”

Sun tugged at his sleeve and winked, looking a little anxious.

The uncle hesitated for a moment, and said to Rao: "Tomorrow, I will set up a banquet and wash the dust for my uncle." ”

Rao Di smiled slightly, "It's all a family, why bother to see outside?" ”

Sun was overjoyed, "So it's time to be close, the girl told her uncle, don't forget to appreciate your face!" ”

Rao Di said "um", "I will tell you about my uncle's hospitality." ”

Seeing that she didn't mean to sit in the house, Sun sneered, talked a few more words, and dragged the man in the family away.

Rao Di was about to turn around and go back to the house, when she saw two more people coming in from outside the yard, needless to say, it was naturally the second uncle and the second uncle who were a little slower in news.

Li Yu was a little excited when he saw the second master. Rao Di didn't look at the flattering woman, and said lightly to the second master: "The second uncle is here." ”

The second uncle is flying and domineering, he is a bully in the village, and he didn't wait for his own woman to be polite, he took the lead and laughed: "Little Ayu, I can't recognize you anymore, second uncle, this body looks, there are not a few beauties from our aunt, but they are all compared to you!" ”

The voice is like a bell, and when he speaks, his eyes unceremoniously look up and down Rao.

Old Mrs. Xie was carried out of the room by Li Yu, sat on the stool and said tremblingly: "Evil obstacles, you still have a face!" ”

The second child smiled with a smile: "Mother, are you better?" I came to see you on the day of the Chinese New Year, but you were always asleep, and I didn't see you. ”

Old Lady Xie pointed her finger at him, and said angrily: "You son of a, you ...... Get out of here! ”

The second child was a little anxious, stepped forward and walked up to the old lady and shouted, "Mother! What are you doing here? ”

The old lady snorted and panted: "Now that you are all in a hurry to come over and stutter when you see that you are all developed." What didn't have a heart and liver that was struck by lightning, when Yu'er was here before, how did you treat her! Now, how did you treat me as an old immortal? ”

Rao Di came to the old lady and patted her on the shoulder. The second child said to Rao Tu with a bitter face: "Little A, you persuade the old lady, people have a bad temper when they are old, look at this ......"

Rao Di said to Yang Qian and the mountain ghost: "Throw it out." ”

The second uncle and the second uncle didn't understand what was going on, so they were thrown out by Yang Qian and the mountain ghost by their respective collars.

Mrs. Xie was in tears and couldn't cry. Rao Di squatted beside her and whispered, "Grandma, don't worry, Ah Yu will support you for the rest of your life." ”

The old lady raised her hand tremblingly to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

At night, Shen Zhu returned to the small courtyard with a slightly cold expression. Seeing that he was alone, Rao Di asked, "What about Lu Zhiming and Zhenlong?" How they didn't come back. ”

"Lu Zhiming is looking at some things in the Shen family's old mansion, I see that he is not good, let Zhenlong stay and take care of it."

Rao Tu smiled and said, "Leave Zhenlong to take care of? I'm afraid that Mr. Lu will be even more awkward, and in turn, he will have to take care of Zhenlong, so he might as well be alone. ”

Shen Zhu nodded, "Let Lu Zhiming have more contact with women, maybe it will be helpful to his cultivation." ”

Rao Tu twisted his eyebrows: "Mr. Lu is not a ...... who specializes in Taoist dual cultivation."

Before she finished speaking, Shen Zhu grabbed her mouth and said helplessly: "What are you thinking about every day?" ”

Rao Di rolled his eyes and said: "You are not serious day by day, and it is easy to make people want to be crooked when you speak, who knows what you mean!" ”

Shen Zhu knocked on the door of her head: "The hearts of people in the world are unpredictable, and women's hearts are even more unpredictable. ”

Rao Tu rubbed her head, "Did you eat deflated in Qingzhou Mansion Yin or what?" ”

Shen Zhu carried a bag of books into the house, the room was not very big, but it was cleaned up and tidy.

The kang is also boiling hot. Shen Zhu just went to Qingzhou Mansion Yin to find a few local county chronicles, and after washing, he put on a coarse cloth shirt, and sat in the quilt with the oldest county chronicle to look through.

Rao Di moved the candlestick a few points closer, "The texture of the candle wax here is not good, it can't be compared with the candle wax in Jinling City, it keeps flashing, and it hurts your eyes to look at it." ”

Shen Zhu let out an "um", still concentrating on his county chronicles.

Seeing that he ignored him, Rao Di stepped forward and opened his book, "What are you looking at?" It's so good-looking, sucking your soul in? ”

Shen Zhu pulled her into his arms and tucked the quilt away, "You and I will watch it together." ”

Rao Tu curled up in his arms, saw him standing the book in front of him, looked at a few lines at random, and wondered: "Isn't this the local county chronicle?" How is it a bit like a monster? ”

It turns out that the county chronicle on this side wrote that hundreds of years ago, Qingzhou was not called Qingzhou, because the local yellow rock was called Huangyan. But under the Huangyan, I don't know when an evil dragon was born, the whole body was blue, and when the evil dragon sneezed, it was a waterlogging, and when it spit out a breath of turbidity, it was a drought.

The evil dragon is one of the troubles, and the local people are miserable. Finally, one day, a priest surnamed Shen passed through here, and when he saw that the road was uneven, he killed the evil dragon with a sword. The evil dragon fell to the earth, and the cyan body turned into a river, and the river glowed with blue light under the sun, and over time, this place was called Qingzhou.

Rao Tu rubbed her temples, didn't believe the county records at all, and muttered, "Why is it so mysterious?" ”

Shen Zhu ignored her, continued to flip through the pages one by one, and said with a smile: "You won't be the descendant of the Fang Shi surnamed Shen, right?" ”

Shen Zhu lowered his eyes and glanced at her, intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the placket of her floral clothes, and said in a deep voice: "Speak again, take off your clothes." ”

Rao Tu snorted and continued to read the book in his hand. Shen Zhu's speed of flipping the book was slow, she urged hard, the speed of flipping was faster, and she had to turn back again.

In the end, Lord Shen was completely impatient, slammed the book on the table next to him, hugged Rao Di and said viciously, "Are you not cleaning up?" ”

He deliberately showed a fierce light in his eyes, Rao Di was a little scared, covering his lower abdomen, his eyes flashed left and wide, but he didn't look at him. Seeing her "pitiful" appearance, Shen Zhu sighed, pressed her into the quilt, blew out the candle and fell asleep.

Rao Tu smelled the fresh smell of soaphorn on his clothes, familiar and distant, the smell of soaphorn in Qingzhou was strong, and it was a little different from other places.

"What is Mr. Lu looking at in your old house?" Rao asked.

"Some miscellaneous books."

"Tell me what you're planning."

"Since it's a plan, I naturally can't tell you, anyway...... You don't understand either. ”

Rao Tu twisted him, "If you don't say it, how do you know that I don't understand." ”

"Be honest."

"I'm not honest."

"Then I'm not honest." Shen Zhu said, reaching his hand to her waist.

Rao Di was shocked by his words, stopped twisting him, and obediently moved to the side, she knew what it was like for this man to be dishonest.

Shen Zhu immediately stopped when he saw her, and while the corners of his mouth were smiling, he was a little lost in his heart.

Rao Tu soon fell asleep, and his mind fluctuated as he listened to her steady breathing.

Today, her words to Old Madam Xie cut his heart slowly and sluggishly like a knife.

"Over the years, thanks to my aunt's care and thoughtfulness, this child has been pampered."

"Grandma, rest assured, I've had a good life over the years, he ...... It was also very good to me. ”

"What about my great-grandchildren? How many? Did you bring it back? ”

"It's a kid, stay in Jinling, disobedient, I'm afraid I'll bring back naughty trouble."

In the darkness, he clenched his fists, his eyes shining.

……

On the second day, Rao Di woke up early, but Shen Zhu had just fallen asleep. Seeing his tiredness, she got out of bed lightly, pushed the door and walked to the porch, facing a cool breeze.

Li Yu sorted out a few baskets of tangerines in the courtyard, and when he saw Rao Di, he smiled and said, "Miss, morning." ”

Rao Tu smiled and looked at the round oranges in the basket, either green or yellow, "There are so many oranges, do you want to sell them at the market?" ”

"Yes, Zhang Laohan on Zhuangzi broke his leg and sold a lot, I helped him sell it."

"If you stay until now, it will probably sell better." Rao Di suddenly remembered that when she was a child, once Li Yu's father went to the market to sell oranges, she had to shout at that time, but when she arrived, she was shy and afraid of being seen.

That year, the yellow mud road was paved with withered yellow leaves, and Father Li carried the burden in front, and she jumped and followed behind. The crisp wind blew through the broken hair on her forehead, the warm yellow sun fell on her face, and a pond beside the road reflected her small figure.

Time stands still there, and it is okay to travel for twenty-one years.

She was in a trance, and it was a little regrettable to be still at that time. In this life, she met Yan Bing, fortunately. When I met Shen Zhu, it was a hard job.

Although Yan Bing and Shen Zhu are the same person.

Li Yu took a few fine yellow-peeled oranges and sent them to her, "Miss taste it, this orange is sweet!" ”

Rao Tu came back to her senses, picked up an orange, and puffed her nose. Glancing at the mountain ghost swallowing saliva next to him, Rao Di said to Li Yu: "Leave these oranges, look at how much silver you have, and ask my maid to send them to Zhang Laohan." ”

Li Yu knew that the young lady was not short of this silver, so he really didn't have to slap his swollen face and become fat, so he should go down, only said that there were a lot of oranges, it was better to leave a few baskets of good ones, and he would sell the rest at the bazaar, and he would not waste it.

Rao Tu smiled and said that he didn't have to, "If it's too much to eat, ask Shen Zhu to sell it, and he won't have anything to do here all day." ”

When Li Yu heard that Master Shen was asked to sell oranges, he was a little unbelievable, and he immediately couldn't answer.

Just as he was embarrassed, the eldest aunt Sun came again, her voice was high-pitched, and she greeted with a smile as soon as she crossed the threshold: "Why didn't the girl sleep a little longer?" I'm coming to see my mother, but I don't know that you're awake too. ”

Rao Di smiled, presumably the eldest lady had heard about the second and second daughter-in-law being thrown out yesterday, and then she knew that she rushed over to "honor" the old lady. It's a bit late.

Shen Zhuzheng was half-asleep when he heard a woman's voice outside that he had never heard before, moved, sat up and reached out to push open the window next to the bed, the futon slid down, and his middle coat was slightly open, revealing his naked chest.

When the people in the courtyard heard the sound of the window being opened, they all looked over, and just saw him with his hair draped, his hair full of silver threads, looking out lazily, and his gestures were full of nobility.

Li Yu was stunned, the mountain ghost secretly sighed, Liu Xing and Li Yu's daughter-in-law Yuxiu both blushed and lowered their heads, while the Sun was glued to Shen Zhu's strong chest, and he was actually a little straight.

Rao Di was annoyed, walked over and slammed the window shut from the outside, and when she turned around, she saw the loss in Sun's eyes, and she couldn't laugh or cry, "Second uncle, grandma hasn't woken up yet, you can wait." ”

Sun came back to his senses, realized his gaffe just now, and sneered: "Uncle is really good-looking, why is his hair gray?" ”

She didn't say anything, and there was no smile in her eyes.

Sun was a little stunned by her, remembering that the second child and the second daughter-in-law were thrown out of the yard yesterday, and she was afraid that this young lady would not agree with her and ask someone to throw herself out, which would be too shameless.

"Since the old lady is still asleep, I will go back first. The girl must come to the banquet with her aunt in the evening. ”

Rao Di didn't immediately agree, nor did she refuse, just smiled and said nothing.

Shen Zhu got dressed and walked out of the room, unimpressed by his previous gaffe, and bowed to Sun's chin lightly. His head full of silver threads, which had not yet been combed, was draped over his shoulders and moved with the wind, and he asked, "Who is this lady?" ”

Sun was so nervous that he couldn't speak, and opened his mouth, but not a word popped out. It is really because of his sword eyebrows and handsome eyes, long body and jade body, standing in front of people, there is an innate nobility and overwhelming momentum.

"It's the concubine's aunt." Rao Di said lightly.

Sun was cramped and restless, blessed his body, and left in a hurry.

Rao's hand clenched the door frame tightly, and she felt sick in her heart, "Slut." ”

She has not forgotten the scene she saw in the haystack when she was a child, her eldest aunt riding on other men, called lewd and profligate. When she was a child, she didn't understand, but later she understood, she didn't pity her uncle, she just felt that a weak man like her uncle deserved it!

But she felt sorry for her grandma in her heart, her grandfather died early, grandma was a woman who supported the Xie family, pulled three children to grow up, and her only daughter married someone as a concubine and died early; Sons and daughters-in-law, one is more unbearable than the other.

Zhenlong helped Lu Zhiming to come in from outside the door, and Lu Zhiming said: "There are so many grievances, why bother to be angry with such a person?" ”

Rao Di's heart moved, and she immediately remembered what Lu Zhiming had warned her before, not to be angry.

Shen Zhu was a little surprised: "Come back so early?" ”

Lu Zhiming shook his head and said, "I had a fight with someone." ”

Shen Zhu's expression changed slightly, and Zhenlong explained softly beside him: "A man in black broke in in the middle of the night and wanted to rob what Boss Shen left behind. ”

Rao Tu frowned and asked, "What did the old man leave behind?" What is it? ”

Lu Zhiming waved his hand, and was held by Zhenlong, who was very weak, and seemed to be unable to stand steadily.

Zhenlong said: "Mr. Lu was punched a few times by the man in black, and the qi in his body was turbulent and disordered, and his condition was not very good. ”

Shen Zhu said: "Let's go and rest first." ”

Lu Zhiming took out a black silk book from his arms and handed it to Shen Zhu, "The person who fought with me was a woman, and she didn't feel good about exchanging three fists for my three palms, but she would never give up." If you bring this thing back, I'm afraid it will be thiefd. You told Yang Qian and the dead to beware. ”

Rao Di watched the black silk book being taken into Shen Zhu's arms, she was silent, just now Lu Zhiming was obviously unwilling to reveal the matter of the silk book to her.

When Lu Zhiming returned to the room, she turned her head and asked Shen Zhu, "Is Lu Zhiming's kung fu considered good?" ”

"What do you think?" Shen Zhu asked rhetorically.

"In my opinion, it is naturally excellent, but when Mr. Lu meets the Murong Clan, the lord of Liuli Mountain, he is vulnerable. So confused. ”

Shen Zhu looked at the mountain ghost, "You explain." ”

The mountain ghost was a little proud, "I know this." Mr. Lu practiced Taoist supernatural powers, and he did not follow the path of proving Taoism with martial arts, and if his kung fu was ranked in the rivers and lakes, it should be outside thirty and within fifty. ”

"Oh?" Rao Di asked curiously: "What about the Murong clan?" ”

"It should be in the top ten."

"What about you?"

"Me? Ahem, maybe six or seven...... Eighty or ninety...... "The mountain ghost is a little embarrassed.

Rao nodded and said, "That's ninety away." ”

The mountain ghost pouted, girl, you didn't dismantle the stage like this.

Rao Tu groaned: "The woman who grabbed things with Lu Zhiming can exchange fists with him, then the kung fu of these two people should be on par." The martial arts rank thirty to fifty on the rivers and lakes, and it is a woman, so there shouldn't be many and it's easy to find, right? ”

Shen Zhu picked up a petal of orange and sent it to her mouth: "What are you doing with these useless things?" ”

Rao Tu opened her mouth to eat the orange, "Then tell me what you are hiding." ”

Shen Zhu said "um", "Follow me into the house." ”

Rao's eyes lit up, she didn't expect him to agree so easily. Busy entering the house with him, Shen Zhu also deliberately closed the door. Rao Di threw herself into his arms to take out the black silk book, and Shen Zhu slapped her hand away, "What's the hurry?" Tie my hair first. ”

Rao was stunned for a moment, but didn't come back to her senses.

Shen Zhu stuffed the wooden comb in her hand and sat in front of the bronze mirror with his robe.

Rao Tu took a deep breath and squeezed out a smile, "Lord Shen really doesn't want to suffer at any time.

"It's called a deal."

She pulled Shen Zhu's hair, and when she saw that there was a little black hair mixed in the silver thread, she couldn't help but move in her heart, so she didn't say anything more and combed his hair carefully. Putting his hair on top, he was about to hold it with his usual hosta, but found it resting on the side of his pillow.

She finally grabbed her hair and couldn't bear to let go, so she said to Shen Zhu: "You get up with me, the hairpin is next to the pillow, I can't get it." ”

Shen Zhu looked at her through the mirror, "I couldn't get it, so I put my hair and took it." Could it be that I am going to be pulled by your hair? ”

Rao was depressed, thought about it, and couldn't bear to check the big plan of the silk book, she reluctantly put down the curled hair in her hand and went to get the hairpin.

There was a faint smile in Shen Zhu's eyes.

Rao Tu pursed the hairpin to her lips, pulled Shen Zhu's hair up again, pinned the hosta without mess, and said to Shen Zhu: "Are you satisfied?" ”

Shen Zhu looked in the mirror, "Like, a little crooked?" ”

"Shen Zhu ......"

"What, what are you anxious about?"

Rao Di didn't follow, stretched out his hand and touched him in his arms, Shen Zhu said while hiding: "The sky is blue and the sun is white, Madame pay attention." It's not too late for us to do anything in the evening. ”

He deliberately raised his voice, and the mountain ghost outside the door silently walked away.

Rao Di finally took out the black silk book from his arms, unfolded it, and couldn't help but be stunned, read it several times on both sides, it was pitch black, and the silk book was ...... What's there?

She turned her head and glared at Shen Zhu, Shen Zhu took the silk book back and looked left and right, and wondered: "How could this be, it can't be that Lu Zhiming took it wrong, I have to ask." ”

Seeing his serious appearance, Rao Tu couldn't help but smile in his eyes! Knowing that she was tricked by this treacherous and cunning Lord Shen, she stomped her feet and said, "Shen Zhu! ”

Shen Zhu was extremely apologetic, "I really don't know how this happened, otherwise...... I'll help you comb your hair? ”

Rao said: "I don't want it, you give me this silk book." ”

Shen Zhu put it in his arms, and said, "I just said to lend it to you, but I didn't say I wanted to give it to you." ”

Rao: "......"

Shen Zhu pushed the door out refreshed, and when he saw Zhenlong coming out of Lu Zhi's room, he asked, "How is Mr. Lu?" ”

Zhenlong shook his head slightly: "The old wound has not healed, and there is a new injury." ”

Shen Zhu came to Lu Zhiming's room, and when he saw him sitting silently by the fire, he said, "If you think too much, you will hurt more, so take a break in advance." ”

Lu Zhiming raised his head and asked, "Aren't you curious, who wants to rob the things left by Elder Shen?" ”

"Since she will come again, it is better to wait."

Lu Zhiming sighed: "Chaos." ”

"As long as you pull out a line related to the overall situation in this mess, you won't feel messy."

"You found it?"

Shen Zhu said calmly: "Not yet." Zhenlong's endgame gave me some inspiration. I think I've figured out where to go. ”

Lu Zhiming said slowly: "Since you have thought about it, why don't you fall for a long time?" ”

Shen Zhu looked at the courtyard through the window sash, she was dressed in a floral cloth and held a green orange in her hand, and she didn't know what she was muttering to the mountain ghost. His eyes were gentle, and he muttered, "I know it's time, but ...... Wait a few days, just a few days......"

Rao Di raised her eyes and looked at Shen Zhu in the room, and the wind blew her hair, fluttering slightly. The scent of oranges lingered in her nose and she had a smile on her face.
