Shen Huaijin sat silently at the table, silent.

"This is agarwood incense, which can cover all the smell of blood." Lin Hanzhang stuffed the cork back into the porcelain vase, "The minister was executed at night, and he saw Zijin again the next day, so he had to use this incense day after day." ”

"I really didn't let her notice it," Lin Hanzhang rubbed his fingertips on the smooth wall for a while, "The reason why I started this incense is because I don't want to scare her." At that time, Zijin was still young, and I was afraid that I would have a quarrel with her because of this incident. ”

Shen Huaijin saw him chattering so much for the first time, so he didn't stop him, and he also wanted to know the details of the year, Lin Hanzhang was rarely interested in telling him, and he naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Lord Wang, let this incense burn all the time tonight," Lin Hanzhang changed his words, "This incense has to be effective overnight, if Zijin stays in your room tonight, will the prince think about how to explain it to her?" ”

Shen Huaijin lowered her eyes, "She is not the little girl she was back then, and it is time to start accepting these cruel and bloody things." You protect her like this, how will she deal with herself if she remembers what happened in the future? ”

And he was in the emperor's house, and he saw countless dirty and shady things with his own eyes since he was a child, from the queen personally forcing Concubine Li and Concubine Tong to death, and then drugging the fetus in Concubine Shu's womb to death, so that he engraved a truth in his heart since he was a child-

In the turbid world, only by knowing evil can we prevent evil.

Tai'an Academy.

After Ah Quan was broken by Su Zijin and escaped in the drunken flower building, the whole person restrained a lot. He didn't have the bad habit of spending all day and drinking, and he was only carried away by anger in those days to do such an unreasonable thing.

It was a pity to miss the autumn exam, so when I calmed down, I lived in Tai'an Academy every day. Knowing that he wanted to prepare for the exam here with peace of mind, and to take the exam again next autumn, Su Zijin paid for him for a whole year's study and accommodation fees.

As for Ah Jing, Su Zijin had the idea that he had to take it back.

Let the two of them calm down for a while, and if Ah Jing intends to go to Beijing to find him again, she will not stop him.

Su Zijin ransomed her life early, and Ah Jing insisted on living in the Prodigal Son Pavilion these days, and she didn't know if she was waiting for Ah Quan to take the initiative to find her or what to do, but she refused to leave, and she couldn't say why.

But no matter what, she was in good shape. It was a miscarriage before, but there was a lot of noise in the back, and no one cared about it in the Prodigal Son's Mansion, but a few kind girls would occasionally come over to give her some food.

Su Zijin still went to the Prodigal Son's Pavilion without giving up, but when he saw that Ah Jing was already packing up, he couldn't help but be surprised, "What is this doing?" ”

Ah Jing lowered her head in shame, "Some time ago, I had the idea of suicide, if it wasn't for the owner of the village to find me in time and take care of me for a few days, Ah Jing must have been a ghost in the underworld." At present, Ah Quan and I both rely on the owner of the village to survive, Ah Jing ...... I don't want to cause trouble to the owner of the village anymore. ”

Su Zijin was slightly happy in his heart, "So this is planning to go back to Youzhou with me?" ”

Ah Jing nodded, "Yes." Ah Quan didn't want to go back, but it happened to be a matter in my heart, the capital is not big, if I stay here, I will finally meet him one day, why don't I go back to Youzhou. When he takes the high school entrance examination next autumn and stays in the capital as an official, he will never see each other again in this life, and he will not get along with each other in old age and death. ”

Su Zijin laughed, "It turns out that you made this plan." ”

She couldn't help but tell her the truth, "Ah Quan decided to stay in the academy in the capital to prepare for the exam, and he may have to wait for the autumn exam next year before he can return to Youzhou." But he didn't plan to be an official in the capital, saying that if he was in high school, he would ask the emperor for a book and set up a academy in Youzhou, and there would be a academy in Tulongzhai at that time, so he didn't have to run down the mountain. ”

In winter, the weather is cold and freezing, and once the snow falls on the mountain road, it is very easy to fall. Therefore, every time it snows, Su Zijin has to organize the young strong men in the village to carry shovels to clean up the snow on the mountain road, and then spread a layer of thatch, lest it slip.

As if she hadn't heard, Ah Jing was still packing her things, but her trembling hands betrayed her heart.

Su Zijin didn't want to expose her, so he only walked out the door and asked Blue Butterfly to talk about it.

Lan Die was dressing up in the house, and when she saw Su Zijin pushing the door in, she hurriedly got up and walked towards her, "What is Miss Su looking for me?" ”

Su Zijin said: "I'm going to take A-Jing back, thank you for taking care of me all these days." ”

Blue Butterfly bent the corners of her eyes, "Such a trivial matter, why worry about it." ”

Su Zijin was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes and said, "Zijin still has something I want to ask Miss Lan to keep secret." ”

"Miss Su, please speak."

"In the future, no matter who asks Ah Jing, I will ask Miss Lan to say, 'I don't know this person'." The reason why Su Zijin was so embarrassed was because there seemed to be a bit of contempt for the wind and dust woman in these words.

Lan Die was silent for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Since Miss Su has so ordered, Lan Die will accept it." But if you ask other people from the Prodigal Son Pavilion, Blue Butterfly can't help. ”

Su Zijin nodded, "You are the owner of the Prodigal Son Pavilion, if someone investigates her, they will naturally come over to testify with you, and at that time, please remember today's appointment with Miss Lan." ”

Blue Butterfly nodded, "Blue Butterfly should keep her promise. ”

After that, Su Zijin went out of the house, and the carriage of the iron ox was waiting outside the door.

Ah Jing had already gotten into the carriage and waited quietly in the carriage, "Village master, where are we going?" ”

"Let's go to the Ronglu Inn first."

Placing Ah Jing in his own room, Su Zijin went to pick up Nian Yi non-stop.

It's time to go to and from school again, and Su Zijin still waited until everyone was out of the door this time.

Nian Yi was listening to Zhou Linlou's lecture again, Su Zijin listened to a few words, his immature voice was cold and cold, but it was surprisingly pleasant, and he was particular about his choice of words and sentences, no wonder Nian Yi admired this person so much.

Zhou Linlou's hand holding the book was suddenly stunned, and he turned around to look back, but he didn't see the bright scarlet clothes, so he just bowed, "My lord." ”

The dress she was wearing today, Nian Yi couldn't recognize it, until Zhou Linlou called it, and carefully identified it for a few seconds, and then she was surprised, "Brother Su? ”

His expression was a little crying and laughing, but he tried his best to endure it, so he only stepped forward and asked timidly, "Why did my brother come here dressed like this?" ”

Zhou Linlou coughed in a low voice and reminded him in a low voice, "She was originally a woman." ”

Only then did Nian Yi react, her white and tender tofu-like cheeks were dyed pink, and she didn't even dare to look at each other for a while, she only lowered her head.

Su Zijin sneered and touched his furry head, "It's time for us to go back to Youzhou." Yan Yan glanced at Zhou Linlou with a smile in his eyes, "What is the matter?" ”

That light gaze swept over, as if the spring light had been brushing on her face for a week, which made Su Zijin's heart frizzy, "Hmm." ”
