Chapter 64: I won't force you

Huo Yanshen looked sly, he winked at Yang Chunyan and lowered his voice: "Although there are some bumps outside, it has saved you from some troubled words, so after all, it's more comfortable outside, isn't it?" ”

Yang Chunyan was stunned for a moment, looking at Huo Yanshen's expression, she knew that Huo Yanshen heard what Huo Mu said to him in the carriage just now.

Yang Chunyan's cheeks flushed, lowered her head, and said with some hesitation: "You heard all those words just now." ”

"yes, I heard you." Huo Yanshen pulled Yang Chunyan to sit beside him, and after making sure that Yang Chunyan was seated, he pulled the reins in his hand, and the horse was alarmed, and he raised his feet and walked forward.

Yang Chunyan's body staggered, and Huo Yanshen quickly reached out to hug Yang Chunyan's waist, and arranged softly: "Be careful, if you hold on to this rein, your body will be more stable." ”

Yang Chunyan felt that her heart was about to jump out at this moment, she nodded lightly, listened to Huo Yanshen, grabbed the reins tightly, and bowed her head silently.

Huo Yanshen looked at his blushing wife beside him, the corners of his mouth hooked, cleared his throat and continued: "There is no malice in saying that, don't blame her." ”

"Naturally not, I know it in my heart." Yang Chunyan nodded and replied.

"Don't worry, this kind of thing, in the final analysis, it's the two of us who call the shots, what the others say, the left ear goes in, and the right ear goes out."

Huo Yan hooked the corners of his mouth, and after speaking, he felt that it was not enough, turned his head to look at Yang Chunyan, and added: "I will not force the lady to do something you are reluctant to do." ”

Come on, Yang Chunyan heard this, and suddenly raised her head like an electric shock and glanced at Huo Yanshen in a panic, her heartbeat, which had finally calmed down, began to beat violently again, she wanted to cry without tears, could it be that her thoughts were too impure? Why does listening to every word to me feel like you're driving?

"You look at the road ahead, don't have any friction with other carriages!" Yang Chunyan twisted her head to the side, left this sentence incoherently, and never looked at Huo Yanshen's face again.

Huo Yanshen knew that his wife was shy, so he didn't chase after him anymore, but just turned his head to look ahead and stopped talking.

When they arrived at the Dragon King Temple, after Huo Yanshen helped Yang Chunyan get out of the carriage, he opened the door of the carriage and took Huo's mother and them off the carriage.

Yang Chunyan stood on the side of the road, looked around roughly, and found that this place was much more lively than she imagined.

Originally, I thought that in ancient times, most of them were mainly agriculture, so commerce and anything were not very send-off, but who knew that in this peaceful period, even if the imperial court still had a secular vision of agriculture and light business, it still could not resist the exchange and circulation of goods between the people themselves.

"Sister-in-law! You see there are so many people here! ”

Huo Xiting was finally quiet in the car for a while, and when she got out of the carriage and saw such a lively scene, she began to calm down again, pulling Yang Chunyan's sleeve and chattering.

Yang Chunyan grabbed Huo Xiting's hand, patted it, and deliberately sank her face:

"Xiaoxi, there are too many people here, I can tell you in advance, no matter how fun and novel things are in a while, you can't just play with them, you have to follow your sister-in-law and your brother all the time, otherwise if you get lost, this is not a joke."

Although Huo Xiting is very playful at this age, she is already a lot more sensible, she knows that Yang Chunyan is not scaring herself by saying these words, so she also hurriedly patted her chest and promised:

"No, sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll pull your sleeve tightly when the time comes, and you won't get lost!"

The family discussed, Huo's mother wanted to take Liu Xi to the temple to pray for incense, while Huo Yanshen took Yang Chunyan and Huo Xiting preserved eggs to visit the surrounding markets.

Yang Chunyan walked behind Huo Yanshen, bowed his head and was silent, Huo Yanshen glanced back at Yang Chunyan, deliberately paused, and when Yang Chunyan came to his side, Huo Yanshen suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Yang Chunyan's hand.

Yang Chunyan was secretly taken aback, but soon returned to normal, she raised her head, smiled slightly, and couldn't help but ask: "Fang Cainiang said that she would take us to the temple to pray for incense, why don't you want to go?" ”

"I see that you don't pay much attention to these things on weekdays, since you are out to play, then you don't have to worry about those superfluous etiquette rules, and have a good time."

Yang Chunyan was slightly stunned, she didn't expect that Huo Yanshen would have such a careful time.

After all, she is a person educated in materialism, Yang Chunyan naturally doesn't believe in these gods, ghosts, and the like, but she also understands and understands the reason why Huo Mu is so pious.

So when she was at home, every time it was her turn to incense, Yang Chunyan would more or less make a show, so as not to make Huo's mother unhappy, thinking that she had collided with the gods, and then she would push all the disasters and bad things in the family on her head, which would be a bit more than worth the loss.

"Then you rejected your mother so directly just now, aren't you afraid that your mother will be unhappy?" Yang Chunyan felt that her heart was warm, she raised her hand and stroked a strand of hair at the corner of her mouth, and asked.

"If it were on weekdays, I would have followed my mother in, but isn't there Miss Liu Xi this time? Even if we don't go over, as long as we are accompanied by Miss Liuxi, my mother will not be unhappy. ”

The corners of Yang Chunyan's mouth stiffened, and she lowered her head and stopped talking.

She looked not far away with some anxiety, not knowing if something would happen if Liu Xi and Huo Mu were alone.

At the door of the Dragon King Temple, Huo Mu raised her head and looked at the tall and mighty temple gate, and her heart was immediately much more pious, although they were residents of the coastal zone, although they also had great respect for the gods such as Guanyin Buddha and Jade Emperor in their hearts, but for the legendary Dragon King who was in charge of the rain and the sea, there were some different emotions in their hearts.

People here eat by the sea, and if there is too much rain or uneven waves on the sea in a given year, it will directly affect their lives.

Huo Mu was no exception, she folded her hands at the gate of the temple and closed her eyes reverently, praying sincerely, Liu Xi watched from the side, very bored, and there was even a trace of impatience in her eyes.

Anyway, Huo Mu couldn't see the expression on Liu Xi's face with her eyes closed, so Liu Xi looked around very calmly, and suddenly, Liu Xi saw a familiar figure, not far away, Zhang Lin was standing behind an incense burner, looking at Liu Xi with a sinister smile.

Liu Xi was stunned, and Zhang Lin called a child playing around from the side, he stuffed a copper plate to the child, and bent down to lean on the child's ear and said something, the child nodded, happily took the copper plate, and stuffed a note to Liu Xi.

Liu Xi hurriedly held the note tightly in the palm of his hand, secretly glanced at Huo's mother, and found that Huo's mother was still praying with her eyes closed, Liu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, took a step back, and secretly opened the note just now.

The words "ask for a sign in the temple" were written on it, Liu Xi suddenly understood a lot in his heart, raised his head to look at Zhang Lin not far away, and nodded, that is, he already understood.

Zhang Lin has been doing nothing for a while recently, but he is not at home every day, and Zhang's mother at home thinks that her son has opened his mind, so he has been working hard outside, so he doesn't ask Zhang Lin much.

As everyone knows, since Liu Xi entered the Huo family, Zhang Lin has been observing the Huo family in the dark, and always keeps in touch with Liu Xi.

After Huo Mu opened her eyes after praying, she saw Liu Xi standing very obediently on the side, looking at herself with a smile.

Huo Mu was very satisfied in her heart, and said: "Let you and me, my old wife, stand outside, I have also wronged you, you young people like those colorful things, otherwise you should also go to Yanshen and play with them." ”

"Aunt Huo, where is this, there are so many people in the Dragon King Temple, I don't worry about you staying here alone as an old man, besides, I also want to go into the temple to burn incense, pray that the flood in my hometown can pass one day sooner, and pray that Aunt and your family are safe and happy, and everything is successful."

Liu Xi's small mouth was as sweet as honey, and a few words made Huo's mother happy, she knew that Liu Xi was a sensible and good child, and she liked it even more in her heart: "You child is really good at talking, and you know how to be filial more than my own son and daughter-in-law!" ”

"My aunt is too famous, no matter how I am, I am an outsider in the end, Brother Huo and my sister are your relatives."

"Hehe, speaking of which, my son too, just now I told him that I wanted to come to the temple to offer incense and pray for blessings, which means that I also want him to come with me, he is good, he has to take Yan'er and Xiaoxi to play, this son, so old and not sensible!" Huo Mu said, and the dissatisfaction on her face became stronger and stronger.

Liu Xi's eyes rolled around, and then he spoke: "Auntie, if you say so, then I will have to say a few fair words for Brother Huo, Brother Huo is a well-known filial son around, not to mention anything else, just Brother Huo has the ability, and asked for such a capable and filial daughter-in-law for your aunt, you look at my sister, I don't say that she looks good-looking, she is kind-hearted and knows how to be filial to her aunt, especially in the face of some things, my sister's performance is much calmer, unlike us vulgar women, who will be in a mess when something happens. ”

Huo Mu looked at Liu Xi praising Yang Chunyan like this, and suddenly remembered that Yang Chunyan's face was bleak when she said that she was going to come to the Dragon King Temple to offer incense, and her heart became more and more unhappy.
