Placing the tribute platform in the main hall and using a screen as a simple cover is a custom of the Chu people. Changliao did not.

But Xu Sa had seen it twice, so she was not in the mood to be surprised, and was pulled to the screen by Fu Rushen, she frowned and asked, "What is the lottery?" ”

"A custom of fortune darts at the end of the year, written in the later part of the village rules, you may not have seen it." After Fu Rushen finished explaining, he bowed to the statue on the tribute platform, and said to Xu Sa: "This is the statue of the ancestor of the Fu family." When the villa comes out of the golden dart, it will come to worship first, and then draw lots to discharge the order. ”

As soon as he heard that it was the statue of the ancestors, Xu Sa hurriedly bowed three times, and then asked, "What is the golden dart?" ”

“…… None of that matters. Fu Rushen handed her the sticker, "You take it first and go out with me." ”

"Okay." Xu Sa nodded and followed behind him obediently. After all, it's not good for the two to communicate behind the screen, even if they lower their voices, there are many people waiting behind them.

But she didn't know that when Fu Rushen took her out, her palms were sweaty.

She only needs to play the owner's wife well and echo her husband in case of trouble. But as the owner of the big village, Fu Rushen has to think a lot, consider outsiders, and also consider his own people-

There are too many variables in the dart game, Xu Sa has just arrived, and he doesn't know many things, he is worried that if he suddenly pulls Xu Sa into a meeting again, Xu Sa will be irritated uncomfortably, blaming him for not giving her time to prepare.

What makes him strange is that Xu Sa seems to be in a good mood today, not only did he not accuse him, but he was also seriously going to be a farmer's wife.

…… The last time he felt so suspicious, Xu Sa ran out for several days.

"Hengyuan."

Walking to the hall, but before the main seat, the master of Fu Zhuang suddenly stood up and said, "You go and move a wider table." ”

Everyone was inexplicable when he said this, and Hengyuan didn't understand it, but he still did as he said, and deliberately asked someone to carry a table close to the square from elsewhere and put it in the hall.

"Sasa, come here." The owner of Fu Zhuang called Xu Sa again. The tone was much softer than when he had just ordered Hengyuan.

Xu Sa wanted to say that there was an envoy in the hall, wouldn't it be good for him to call her that? As a result, as they walked over, they accidentally caught a glimpse of the envoy's little eyes looking at them...... Xu Sa felt that this envoy might be a frequent visitor to Longxing Villa.

After all, behind the screen just now, the envoy seemed to be chatting happily with the father and son of the three owners, but she didn't pay attention to what they were talking about.

Walking to the front of the table, Master Fu Zhuang glanced over, Han Ye took out the sheepskin scroll he had prepared in advance, spread it on the table, and smiled: "The eldest brother really takes care of the eldest sister-in-law." ”

"She's drawing lots for the first time after all." Master Fu Zhuang's face did not change, "It's not good to get rid of it." ”

Listening to the conversation between the two, Xu Sa also understood: they are accustomed to it, and the draw only needs the waiter to pull the scroll from both sides, and then the shaker will shake the bamboo sticks down from the middle, and row them up in the designated position of the scroll one by one.

But it's the first time for her, and she hasn't practiced such a floating lot, and if she accidentally uses too much force, she will be embarrassed.

Looking at the lines of boxes on the parchment roll, Xu Sa felt quite interesting, and turned his head to ask Fu Rushen: "What should I do?" ”

"This row, a total of seven border countries," Fu Zhuang pursed his lips and tapped his finger on the frame, "You will shake the lotteries in turn, shake them seven times, arrange the lotteries below the countries in turn, and then ......"

He touched his sleeve and found a small compass engraved with twelve hours.

Xu Sa found that he rarely wore a sleeved shirt, but wore a wide-sleeved robe with a style that was biased towards literati, which was a little more gentle than in the past.

But she still felt that a smart outfit was more suitable for him.

"Don't look at me," at this time, Master Fu's deep voice sounded in her ears, "Take the compass." ”

Xu Sa was stunned for a moment, took the compass with a smile, and said to herself what was she thinking just now? Then, according to the explanation of the owner of Fu Zhuang, put the compass against the base of the stick, raise his hand and shake it downward, stabilize the sticker when a bamboo stick falls out, and wait for the compass to stop.

Han Ye picked up the bamboo skewer with his hand, laughed "poof", and then looked at the compass again, and smiled even more.

Master Fu also looked at it with a dark face, shook his head and muttered: "It's really rare." ”

"What's special?" Xu Sa was a complete novice and didn't understand what they meant.

It wasn't until she took the bamboo skewer and put it under the first country, and then the owner of Fu Zhuang personally lifted a "child" on it, that she twitched the corners of her mouth and understood.

"On the second day, when the boy was in charge, the dart master set off in red?"

The envoy also laughed after reading it, shook his head and said: "Mrs. Zhuang is so powerful, it's the first time I've seen this kind of car condition!" ”

Xu Sa quietly rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, shouldn't you focus on why there is such content in the lottery holder!?

Especially Fu Rushen! What did your ancestors have in their minds when they carved the signatures! The dart master wears red, and it's too coquettish!

When she was still shaking out, several people in black lights walked around a dart cart in red clothes, and I thought about the scene......

"Keep shaking." Only the owner of Fu Zhuang was still calm, and he gave Xu Sa instructions after mentioning the words.

Xu Sa pursed her lips and did the same action six more times with a different and complicated feeling.

There are a total of eighty-one lots in the lottery, and only seven can be shaken out every year, and it is difficult to find that many of the contents have not been seen. The things that Xu Sa shook out were really strange, there was everything, especially there was a "dart head wearing a garland", Han Ye looked at it and asked: "Who is out of this dart?" ”

Fu Xuerong said: "Old Peng." ”

A bald man with big shoulders and a round waist.

"Poof! cough cough," shook off the fan and fanned it, Han San Zhuang shook his head again and again, "No, when he darts, I will send him personally!" ”

"Yes." Master Fu said lightly, "By the way, tell him that you shook this lot, and it has nothing to do with Mrs. ”

Han Ye: "......"

The things that Xu Sa shook out were simply strange, and she was sweating on her forehead. After the lottery ended, Han Ye left with the scroll and the record, and Fu Rushen also walked out of the hall with Xu Sa, and asked her casually: "How is it?" ”

"Huh?"

"Did you find it interesting?"

Xu Sa blinked and chuckled, "It's good." ”

I was nervous at the time, but when it was over, I would look back on it, and it was really interesting.

It's just that after listening to her "It's okay", Master Fu squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "But I don't think it's good, the things you shake out are too weird." ”

"What's wrong?" Xu Sa craned his neck, "Anyway, I also shook out a normal one, the dart waist with the sachet." ”

"If you hadn't shaken this, I wouldn't be the one I have now." After Fu Rushen finished speaking, he smiled meaningfully, "Speaking of which, it is really Mrs. Xie's mercy to be a husband." ”

Xu Sa was stunned and asked, "Is that dart head you?" ”

"Well, when the year is over, I will transport the most valuable items." Fu Rushen bowed, "With the list sent by the envoy today, the tributary lists of the seven border countries have all arrived, and you have also shaken out the date and hour in the planned day, according to what you shake, I will go out to the Southern Desert in two days." ”

"Southern Desert?" Xu Sa was shocked, "That's the farthest border country, right?" Will you be able to come back before the New Year? ”

Fu Rushen shook his head: "I can't say." But this is the rule of the dart game, the responsibility of the dart master is like this, change to someone else, even if they still have wives and children waiting at home, how to go or how to go, at most to buy some gifts outside to bring back. ”

After a pause, his voice suddenly became softer.

"However, to be able to come back with a life is the best gift for your family."

Xu Sa pursed her lips and rubbed her hands behind her waist a little uncomfortably.

Fu Rushen glanced at her twice and said, "The schedule for this trip is a little tight, I will inform my subordinates to prepare later, and I will go to your place later." ”

"Okay." Xu Sa nodded, and then thought, "If you're busy, you don't have to come to me, right?" The eldest lady should understand. ”

Fu Rushen said: "I will leave the day after tomorrow, there are some things I have to explain to you." ”

Xu Sa thought of this, and she nodded: "It's just right, I also have something to explain to you." ”

Back at Tingfeng Pavilion, Xu Sa also thought about how she should explain to Fu Rushen.

"What a coincidence, in fact, I'll leave in two days?"

Or did it happen that Fu Rushen set off a little earlier than her, and she would take advantage of the absence of the owner of the big village to notify Han Ye and slip away directly?

"Master, the accompanying baggage and slave maid have been packed up for you again."

The voice that suddenly appeared in her ears frightened Xu Sa, and several drops of tea in the cup spilled out, and she lost the cup when it was hot.

"Master," Xinyu reluctantly wiped the table for her, "what are you thinking about?" ”

Xu Sa glanced at her, then sighed and slapped his thigh: "Your master only hates himself for many years, and he is also witty and brave. ”

The people in this villa look more open-minded and open-minded than the other, and one is stricter than the other in business.

"Oh, master, don't think about it." Xinyu persuaded her, "Anyway, after so many years in Changliao, didn't you only hear one news?" Maybe it's God destined to let you relax and live your life well? ”

"Shut up, little girl!" Xu Sa poked Xinyu's forehead unhappily, "I'll tell you to buy a house, you don't have to say a word, let me talk!" ”

"Okay." Heart jade flat mouth.

Xu Sa had already heard about several families selling houses, and there were two of them that he liked better, and he was planning to go and see them at dawn tomorrow.

Sitting at the table bored, Xu Sa looked at her hand again, a little regretful, she can make wind chimes but is not a female celebrity, and she can't sew a sachet for Fu Rushen.

However, it is quite interesting to think that they are preparing before the dart, not only to come with fate, but also to get something to comfort themselves...... Xu Sa held his face and laughed.

I want to play it again and see what other weird stuff is in the holder.

On the second watch, Fu Rushen finished the matter and came to Tingfeng Pavilion. Xu Sa saw him push the door in, and immediately walked over: "Big farmer." ”

"Waiting for me?"

After Fu Rushen asked, when he raised his hand, Xu Sa took off his coat, and he raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.

"Nothing to do, what's the point?"

"Hey, hey." grinning and hanging his coat on the screen, Xu Sa turned around and poured him tea again, and took the initiative to pull out the stool, "You sit!" ”

Looking at Xu Sa even more strangely, Fu Rushen frowned and came to the table and pressed the stool.

Sturdy.

After sitting down, he took out a roll of cloth from his sleeve and a silver needle.

The tea is probably not poisonous.

"What are you doing here?" Xu Sa pouted and sat across from him, "It's so hurtful!" ”

Fu Rushen said calmly and bluntly: "It's you who are too scary." ”

“……”

Xinyu left the room on her own. Xu Sa scratched his head: "I just have something to explain to you." ”

Looking at her squirming appearance, Fu Rushen said: "You say it directly." ”

Xu Sa opened his mouth.

“…… Forget it, let's talk about it first. Don't you have something to explain? ”

With doubts on his face, Fu Rushen did not hesitate, and directly took out a fold from his arms and put it on the table.

"The things on this fold are all tributary items that I am going to transport this time. One of them written in black pen, you can see if there is anything you like. ”

"I see?" Xu Sa picked up the fold and glanced at it, "You still want to be corrupt?" ”

“……”

Looking at Xu Sa like a fool, Fu Rushen said: "This is the agreement reached between the Changliao Imperial Court and us. Transporting a golden dart is dangerous, and as long as it can be transported safely, the head of the dart can be selected from the regular tribute as a separate reward for himself. ”

Xu Sa nodded, suddenly said "oh", and returned the fold to him: "Then you choose it yourself, why do you show it to me?" ”

"I'm not interested in any of that." Fu Rushen said lightly, and pushed her again.

"I can't choose!" Xu Sa insisted on returning it.

The fold was pushed back and forth, and the candlelight was scratched back and forth, and suddenly a gust of wind blew in through the unclosed window, blowing the candle flame towards the fold.

"Ahh Xu Sa was startled, and hurriedly took back the fold and blew hard.

However, a corner of the page was burned.

Xu Sa lowered his eyebrows, pinched the burnt part and looked at it repeatedly: "Fu ......"

After a pause, she stared at the name of the tribute written in cinnabar ink on the next page.

Seeing that Xu Sa's eyes were straight and his face was very ugly, Fu Rushen softened his voice and said, "You don't have to be afraid, this is just a list, it's not important." ”

“……”

His lips trembled, and Xu Sa smiled palely: "Yes." ”

There is no relaxed appearance of the rest of the catastrophe at all.

Fu Rushen was puzzled: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Nope." His eyes flickered, and Xu Sa continued to laugh, "It's just that I feel a little distressed when I see a good fold being burned." ”

Fu Rushen was even more puzzled: "This fold is very ordinary. ”

Xu Sa raised his head and said righteously: "I have an eye for it, can't I?" ”

Although I think it's ridiculous to say it...... Xu Sa still grinned, got up and moved the stool next to Fu Rushen.

"Big Farmer, these are the treasures of the Southern Desert Tribute?"

Looking at her strangely, Fu Rushen: "Yes." ”

"But," Xu Sa pointed to one of the objects written in cinnabar with a puzzled face, "can you still produce river grinding jade in the desert?" ”

Fu Rushen lowered his eyes and saw that Xu Sa was referring to the "Lingyu" at the end of the tribute, and the "Lingyu" was followed by two annotations, Hemo Jade and Puyu.

He said: "I don't know about this either. After all, it is a treasure that people want to pay tribute, and it is a valuable object, we don't need to ask too much about it. ”

"Oh." Regretfully responded, Xu Sa poured himself a cup of tea, drank it cleanly, and then drank another cup with unsatisfied satisfaction, before wiping his mouth.

Fu Rushen didn't understand what she was smoking, so he said, "You go ahead and choose." ”

After a pause, he added: "What cinnabar has written is a rare treasure, and it cannot be chosen. ”

"I know!" Xu Sa immediately replied to him, then looked at the fold and hesitated for a while, his eyes quietly glanced at him, "Big Boss, why do you want to give me something?" You've given me a lot of things, and it's a precious tribute! ”

Fu Rushen: "As I said, I'm not interested in these things. ”

"Then you can go and ask Miss Yun!"

"Xu Sa,"

Vaguely hearing the threat in his tone, Xu Sa quickly changed his words: "You can go and ask the eldest lady!" ”

Fu Rushen stopped talking.

When Gu Yuankun didn't want to answer her, he often half-lowered his eyes, or wrote in his eyes: You don't have to ask, I don't want to answer.

However, the owner of Fu Dazhuang stared at her fixedly, and Xu Sa only read it from him: If you want to choose, you can choose, choose quickly!

The body shook involuntarily, and Xu Sa sneered: "It's too late today, my brain is a little confused, I can't choose it for a while, can you give me a night and choose it tomorrow?" ”

Glancing at the sky, the owner of Fu Zhuang was puzzled.

How clear do you have to be when choosing a gift? Do you want to give her an abacus to fiddle with?

However, Han Ye said in his mind, "No matter how much the daughter's mind is finer than that of a man, men and women think differently, if a woman doesn't occasionally be coquettish and have a little temper, then what's the difference between you and having an extra sworn brother?" ”

Fu Rushen was silent for a while.

"Okay." He said, "There is still time, and it is not too late to answer tomorrow." ”

Xu Sa smiled: "I'll let Xinyu fetch water, let's rest early." ”

After saying that, she yawned, indicating that she was really sleepy.

Fu Rushen didn't doubt it. After being washed and pushed to the bed like a duck by her, she remembered one thing: "Don't you also have something to explain to me?" ”

"Oh, I'm going out and buy a house tomorrow." Xu Sa replied casually and lay down against the side of the bed.

"Buying a house?" Fu Rushen turned his head.

Xu Sa didn't look at him, but turned over, turned his back to him and said: "When I move out in the future, I must have a place to stay, thanks to your generosity, so that I have plenty of money, I plan to buy a small house outside." ”

If you want to buy a house, you should be happy, but listening to her muffled voice, I don't know what's wrong, Fu Rushen is in a complicated mood.

He asked, "Is it close to Longhang Villa?" ”

"I don't know yet, I'll talk about it tomorrow." After Xu Sa finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved in the dark, "Sleep, you don't have two good days." ”

Fu Rushen also turned over, but he was facing Xu Sa's back.

He said: "The days of dart walking are indeed boring, but I am used to it, and there is no difference between good and bad from the usual. ”

Some just want to be separated from her, and worry about whether the time he is away will contribute to the complete separation of him and her.

Xu Sa didn't reply, so he reached out and lifted the quilt on her shoulder.

"Sleep."

The words fell, and the room was completely silent.

Xu Sa Qiao poked out a small paw, grabbed the corner of the quilt, and opened her mouth carefully, but she didn't dare to exhale the turbid breath in her chest.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, she closed her mouth, pressed her heart, felt the heaviness inside, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, and rushed out of the room without even putting on her shoes.

"Ma'am?" Hengyuan, who was guarding outside, was startled by her.

"Whew-" Xu Sa breathed heavily, heard Hengyuan's voice, closed his eyes again, and rushed forward to the tree retching.

"Madame, what's wrong with you?" Hengyuan panicked.

At this time, Fu Rushen also walked out quickly: "Xu Sa? Are you not feeling well? ”

The discomfort is real, but the vomiting is fake. Xu Sa couldn't spit out anything, so he only spit out some saliva, and then stretched out a hand to his side: "Water ......"

Hengyuan hurriedly went back to the house to get water.

"What's wrong with you?" Fu Rushen asked on the side, his words were a little eager, "Do you want me to call a doctor?" ”

"It's okay, maybe it's a little indigestible, but some sour water." Xu Sa breathed heavily, took the tea that Hengyuan hurriedly brought out, rinsed his mouth, spit it out and turned around and said, "I'm fine." ”

After speaking, he continued to breathe heavily, as if he wanted to go through all the qi in his chest.

Even if he was only illuminated by the moonlight, he could see that Xu Sa's face was very ugly and his expression was very tired. Fu Rushen sighed: "It's really unreassuring. ”

Xu Sa smiled helplessly: "You don't have to worry about me." ”

Fu Rushen pursed his lips: "Go back to sleep, you won't feel uncomfortable if you fall asleep early." ”

"Okay."

However, for a long time, she lay on the bed on her side with cold limbs, staring quietly ahead, not even breathing lightly, her mind was full of the day that excited her the most in the past fourteen years - she wandered around the cities of Changliao, inquired about more than a dozen shops under the name of the Xu family, and finally an old shopkeeper of a jade shop saw that she was pitiful and gave her the only clue in the past fourteen years.

"Lingyu."

"All the old man knows is that the eldest master had a big fanfare looking for a treasure called Lingyu before the accident. I heard that it is a rare piece of old jade of the river mill, or a piece of uncarved jade, which is rare in the world...... I don't know if the old man finally found it. ”

Did you find it? She didn't remember it well at the time. She was only six years old on the night of the Xu family's accident, and she only vaguely remembered that her father welcomed Dong Chuhou into the house with a smile on his face, saying that he had found a lot of treasures and wanted to show them to Dong Chuhou.

Then she was sent out and took Chu Shizi, who came to the Xu family with the Marquis of Eastern Chu, to walk around the house.

She remembered that her father had found a lot of treasures, but the old shopkeeper only said "Lingyu", and there were no other clues after that. Xu Sa even put her hope on Chu Shizi, who was saved by her, after all, Shizi is five years older than her, and he knows a lot of things...... But the son of the world seemed to have evaporated in the world, and there was really no trace left for her and Sister Ruyi.

"Alas......"

There was a sigh in the silence, and the man behind him rolled over. Xu Sa subconsciously closed his eyes.

But then, there was a leg, then a hand, and finally the whole body got into her bed.

He could feel the heat of the other party through the two layers of clothing, and he half-hung his head against her neck, and grabbed her with his hand, and his body was tightly pressed against her.

"The big owner?" Xu Sa reminded in a whisper, "You have exceeded the rules......"

No response.

Although I have been skin-to-skin for a long time and have shared the same bed for many days, I ...... "You have exceeded the rules......

Still no response.

Xu Sa turned her head inexplicably and wanted to look back, but she didn't dare to move too much, for fear that the other party would be embarrassed if she woke up after falling asleep.

"Big Boss," she was silent for a long time, she finally called, and then she didn't hear a reply, before pursing her lips and said, "You came first, you're welcome?" ”

After speaking, he stepped on Fu Rushen's feet with his cold feet.

Seeing that the other party didn't react at all, Xu Sa was relieved, and continued to blink and think nonsense, but the difference was that after absorbing the warmth, his body was much more comfortable.
