Chapter Eighty-Four: Descending the Mountain and Perishing

Enter the courtyard and cross the promenade, and go to the left and right to divide into male and female compartments. The road is simple and unadorned, only a few pillars of lotus lamps are hung to guide, and the more you go inside, the more water and vapor are dense, and there is a faint smell of sulfur.

Shen Xiao personally watched Zhao Qingmiao and Wang Yan enter the women's room, thought about it for a while, and then turned around and entered the men's room.

The clothes and silk skirts are all faded and hung on the screen. Most of his soft body was soaked in water, and his white shoulders were covered with sweat towels. A scoop of warm water is slowly poured down your arm, and you can't tell whether it's the moist skin or the soft glow of the water stains. The two of them soaked for a while, and sure enough, their bones were sour and tired.

The green silk sticking to the skin kept falling water droplets, and Zhao Qingmiao simply picked up the broken hair and picked it behind her ears. His eyes brightened, and his mind became clearer. She looked sideways at Wang Yan, her face was as red as a hibiscus, her eyebrows drooped, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

The maidservant pinched Wang Yan's shoulders for a while, and was sent down.

Wang Yan stretched out her palm to hold the warm water, and suddenly spoke: "When I heard my mother marry into Caifu, it wasn't all about their family wealth and prestige. After getting along for a long time, Wenjing treats people gently and politely, and is stable and capable. Even if I sometimes did something wrong, he was very considerate. You say, is such a man good? ”

She's blunt. Zhao Qingmiao didn't agree, thinking that Cai Wenjing couldn't say anything bad, but how could there be a flawless person in this world.

Unable to get a response from Zhao Qingmiao, Wang Yan sighed slightly and continued: "I have never been wronged in all these years of marrying into the Cai family. More than once, they made it difficult for me to have no heirs, and it was Wenjing who protected me so that I didn't enter the concubine room. ”

Thinking about that scene a little, Zhao Qingmiao finally nodded and said approvingly: "Although I am not familiar with my brother-in-law, he sounds really good." ”

Wang Yan chuckled lightly, and the youngest daughter pouted slightly in disgust: "I will talk to you, so I think you are not as tall as usual." I remember when I was a child, you and Brother Yan Jiu went back to Wang's house, and Wang Jue and I were both happy in our hearts. ”

Suddenly talking about this, Zhao Qingmiao reluctantly went down and said, "I understand." Just like that time, I was pushed down from the rockery by you, and I knew that you were unintentional. ”

Her tone was neither salty nor light, her expression was very calm, and she did not complain about the past at all.

Instead, Wang Yan blushed with shame, and awkwardly reached out and poured a scoop of water on her back, before she said, "Actually, that time, I did it on purpose." ”

The two looked at each other and fell silent.

In the middle of the night, a sound of laughter was heard out of the cubicle.

Shen Xiao was expressionless in front of his clothes, and when he heard the hearty laughter, his hands froze. He was worried that Wang Yan had bad intentions, so he was in a hurry to get out of the pool, but now he is relieved.

He walked out of the door slowly, glanced at the women's room opposite, folded his arms in his hands, leaned against the doorrail and waited. Unbeknownst to him, a familiar figure came into sight.

Cai Wenjing's robe was plain white and straight, and he walked quickly, his face as warm as jade was a little haggard, and he was dyed with a faint sadness.

He looked at Shen Xiao, stopped, and hesitated: "Are you, Miss Zhao Er's little girl?" ”

Shen Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked lightly, his forehead lowered slightly.

It just so happened that the door of the women's room opened from the inside, and I saw two delicate flowers stepping out of the lotus step.

One is a cold and light color, with a thick shirt with narrow sleeves and a moon white Shu embroidered silver silk skirt underneath.

One is graceful and graceful, with heavy purple satin wide sleeves and light yellow mandarin duck embroidery under the feet.

The two men looked slightly stunned.

The maidservant cleared her throat beside her, and Wang Yan and Zhao Qingmiao raised their eyes to find the two of them.

Zhao Qingmiao didn't notice anything when she saw Shen Xiao, but Cai Wenjing felt strange when she came.

"Wenjing? How do you know I'm here? Wang Yan was surprised, and her eyes dodged in a panic.

Cai Wenjing first saluted Zhao Qingmiao's elegant hand, and then walked in, holding Wang Yan's hand as if no one was around, and threw a sharp look at the maidservant while looking sideways, and said:

"I couldn't find you in the house, and I asked the people in your room to know that I came to Qingshan Temple. It's just that I don't know that you originally made an appointment with Miss Zhao Er. ”

Wang Yan peeked at Zhao Qingmiao, turned her face to hide her expression, and argued in her mouth: "I'm today because—"

Cai Wenjing's eyes folded, and he pinched Wang Yan's fingers a little harder, and his voice was light and deep: "You should believe me." The disappointment in his eyes was cold.

Wang Yan pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Zhao Qingmiao looked at the two of them from the side, and was a little more sure of the truth in his heart. Secretly calculate the time, and speak out first.

"Cousin, cousin-in-law, if you don't go down the mountain, I'm afraid it'll be too late to return to the city. If it's okay, I'll go first. ”

Wang Yan nodded, and Cai Wenjing said politely: "Be careful on the road." ”

Before going down the mountain gate, Shen Xiao saw Zhao Qingmiao frowning at Qiu Bo eyebrows, hooking his lips and quipping: "Isn't Miss envious of their deep affection, why don't you give Miss my hand to have a good time?" ”

Zhao Qingmiao gathered her thoughts, her eyes glared at her wisely, and said, "Are you more and more arrogant, do you really think that I won't punish you?" ”

After that, she propped up her hands and jumped sideways into the carriage, but she sat in the position of driving the horse, holding the horsewhip in her hand and raising: "You go home!" Then he swung his whip fiercely, and the four hooves stepped on the road.

Before she knew Shen Xiao, Zhao Qingmiao would not be such a child, since Shen Xiao came to her side, she would choke a few words from time to time, which made her unhappy and became more and more angry.

Shen Xiao's face turned pale, and the corners of her mouth sank, but she couldn't cry or laugh: she looked cold, and it was really amazing to pout.

He didn't have time to think about it, he breathed a sigh of relief, and ran after the carriage.

Zhao Qingmiao originally wanted to scare Shen Xiao, but the carriage ran out of the way for a while, and then he felt that it was inappropriate. was looking back at Shen Xiao, pulling the reins in his hand and intending to stop first, but the car suddenly 'banged', and the whole body shook and tilted!

Zhao Qingmiao's face turned pale, and she shouted in her heart: I want to die!

Then the body really overturned, and Zhao Qingmiao's vision was spinning-

Could it be that the light of the law in Qingshan Temple is full of light, and people are not allowed to do small evils? Definitely.

Shen Xiao quickly chased closer, and found that the carriage was suddenly bumpy on the road, his eyes were awe-inspiring, and the secret path was not good.

At the moment when the axle broke, Zhao Qingmiao couldn't hold the reins and was about to fall from the overturned carriage.

said that it was too late, Shen Xiao's body fell down and slid sharply, stretched out his hand to hug Zhao Qingmiao who fell, and quickly rolled to the side to avoid it, hearing the horse's terrible neighing, and crashed into the ground with the body.

Zhao Qingmiao slowly came back to his senses in a panic, and the wisp of soul that Tianlinggai was scared away seemed to have been violently dragged back. His head was against Shen Xiao's chest, listening to the fierce beating in his heart.

The two hugged each other, feeling that each other's breath was about to melt together. Zhao Qingmiao just remembered to push him away.

Shen Xiao's eyes were filled with frost coldness, he looked around vigilantly, and suddenly felt that the person under him moved slightly, so his eyebrows fell, his hand stroked Zhao Qingmiao's green silk, and his voice was dry and soft: "Don't be afraid, there is me." ”
