Song Ran looked at the person in front of him, and tried his best to make his voice calm: "My lord, are you back?" The folk girl asked Xiao Er to help me cook porridge, can you trouble the adults and help me go down and urge me? ”

Shen Hanxi saw that there was faint water vapor floating out of it, and when he heard her stiff tone, he had already guessed that she was bathing inside. Although she tried her best to make the atmosphere less awkward, her eyes revealed her emotions.

He remembered that she was sick and had compassion: "Miss Song is now bold, and she dares to let this official run errands." ”

That being said, there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

Song Ran watched his ink-colored robe disappear into the corner of the building, and breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't really ask him to urge porridge, she just took him away so that she could tidy up her appearance. He wandered around the downstairs at random, and when he returned to his room, the porridge and side dishes had been delivered, and she had already curled her hair. The dishes and chopsticks in front of her didn't move, and she sat obediently at the table and waited for him.

He sat down leisurely across from her and took off his mask.

Only then did she speak: "The folk girl is not very well, so she only needs a bowl of porridge and two side dishes, if the adult feels light, you can let the kitchen make something you want to eat and send it, the folk girl does not know the taste of the adult, and she does not dare to make a claim." ”

But he said: "No need, this official just doesn't have much appetite." As he spoke, he picked up the spoon and ate it elegantly. Song Ran remembered that when she saw him for the first time, he was eating a bowl of wontons so slowly, and she was faintly amazed at that time, but it was just a bowl of wontons, and he could actually eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas.

She thought to herself, a person like him probably hasn't had a hard life. He was once the adopted son of Gu Linsheng, although he didn't know how Lord Gu treated him, but with the character of Lord Gu, he would definitely not treat him badly.

Thinking of this, her eyes couldn't help but sink.

When Master Gu fell, he personally led people to raid the house and take people.

To this day, the Ting Wei Division is still going around arresting the so-called remnants of the Gu family.

"Miss Song is always silently thinking about something by herself. Some things might as well be asked. No matter how bad the official's temper is, he won't eat you. ”

Hearing Shen Hanxi's words, the spoon in Song Ran's hand paused slightly, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "The folk girl is not thinking about anything, and she has nothing to ask the adult." ”

Shen Hanxi was not angry at her reaction, and said, "You don't have anything to ask, but I have something I want to ask you." ”

Song Ran raised his eyes to look at him, the person in front of him was in a black robe, with long eyebrows and trim eyes, and the corners of his lips had a cold arc, but he didn't seem to want to embarrass her. Her submissive tone: "Your Excellency, you can ask." ”

"Today the doctor asked me if you had ever been seriously ill before, and if you had ever been seriously injured. It doesn't matter if this matter is concealed or not, the official must listen to the truth. ”

Song Ran didn't expect him to be so careful, so he wanted to ask this, and nodded lightly: "I was sick three years ago, and the doctor said that he was too worried and became ill, but now he is getting better." ”

He was silent for a few moments, and went through the eight words "too much worry and depression" in his heart several times, thinking that these eight words were really not suitable for her.

Although she was often low-eyed in front of him, in her eyes, he had never seen a haze.

Thinking so in her heart, she teased her: "Miss Song has so many eyes in her heart, all her words are hidden in her heart, and she thinks about how to guard against others at any time, no wonder she will be tired and sick." ”

She first felt that his comment was very mean, and then she felt a dull pain in the knee of an arrow, perhaps he was right, she was on guard everywhere, every step of the way, especially when she was with him, maybe there would be a moment to relax her defense, but soon she built a wall of heart.

It's been a long time, and I'm really tired.

She buried her head in eating porridge and resisted in a low voice: "My lord, you are well-dressed and pampered, but I don't understand how the folk girl survived." If you don't guard against it, I'm afraid that the bones will be gone. ”

After finishing speaking, I realized that I had said too much, and I was busy and stopped.

Fortunately, he just narrowed his eyes slightly, and then the corners of his lips hooked: "It turns out that Miss Song has always thought so in her heart." Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and it is not easy for the official to live. By the side of the saint, he was probably as cautious as Miss Song at this time. He said, smiling slowly, "Brocade clothes and jade food, pampered?" This official is not born to be the life of a nobleman. When she was so old with Miss Song, she was often called like a dog. As he spoke, he wiped his hands with a sweat towel over and over again, "Miss Song is afraid that she will not believe that this official has been called like a beast for more than ten years. ”

Seeing her staring at her hands, Shen Hanxi seemed to notice her movements, put down the sweat towel, and stared at the hands with lowered eyes: "These hands have killed too many people, and it's no wonder that Miss Song is afraid, and the official himself thinks these hands are dirty." ”

She had noticed before, every time he finished something, he always liked to wipe his hands over and over again, she thought he was just a clean man, but she didn't expect to hear such an answer from his mouth.

She didn't know how to continue for a while, but after thinking about it, she asked him very boldly: "Have you ever thought that the adult will not kill people in the future?" ”

He stared at her for a long time for her words, and a hint of laughter suddenly appeared in his eyes: "If Miss Song doesn't allow it, this official can also try." But, in what capacity did Miss Song ask the official not to kill? ”

"I ......"

Seeing her stammering, he was very merciful and did not force her to answer, and said, "That's it, I don't think you dare to have any ideas." In the future, don't call yourself a 'people's girl', it's not pleasing to your ears. ”

He rarely had such a calm heart, she looked at his handsome face, and her heart suddenly jumped, this beat made her inexplicable, and she panicked, and she hurriedly lowered her eyes and responded: "Yes." ”

Deeper and heavier, Song Ran excused himself to go out to eat, but he didn't return for a long time. Shen Hanxi casually asked Xiao Er, who was in charge of the lamp, and the other party said, "Coincidentally, I also met the girl who was traveling with you, and asked for dried small fish, and I want to feed it to the cat." ”

Don't sleep at night, and your health is not good, so you run to feed the cats?

The wing room is enclosed, lined into a patio, the ground is inlaid with blue bricks, a few rich bamboos are planted, Song Ran sits under the eaves with a light robe, and a raccoon cat lies at his feet.

The cat was very intimate with her, and let out a contented cry under her caresse.

Someone blocked the light of the lantern overhead, and she looked up and called to him, "My lord." ”

He looked at the cat for a moment, and then commented mercilessly: "What an ugly cat." "Thin and small, the color is not good-looking, and the dirty body is naturally unable to enter his eyes.

She was not displeased with his evaluation at all, and said softly: "I heard that the female cat has six kittens in this litter, and because this one is the thinnest, she will no longer raise it." It was the guests who came and went to see that it was pitiful, and threw it some food to eat, so that it could grow so big. That's why it's close to everyone and doesn't recognize anyone. Then he confirmed to him, "Sir, don't you think it's pitiful?" ”

Her voice was soft and soft, but he couldn't hear any emotion, and when he first heard this, he thought she was overflowing with love, and he pondered slightly, and felt as if she was talking about herself.

He looked at the shadow sitting on the ground, and felt that she was as faint as the frost-colored robe on her body, and if it weren't for the lantern above his head, he really felt as if she would disappear at any moment.

He couldn't help but stare at her a little closer, as if he wanted to see her in his eyes.

She didn't hear him answer, but she didn't seem to want to get a positive answer from him, and said to herself: "It's a pity that I just happened to pass by and can't keep it." ”

The cat's round eyes looked at her, and seemed to understand that she had nothing to eat for it, so she stopped being nostalgic, and jumped into the grass as soon as she jumped into the bushes, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Shen Hanxi saw her reluctant look, and the ghost envoy said in a daze: "If you want to raise it, when you return to Ling'an, the official will give you one." ”

She got up and was stunned by his words: "Thank you, sir." But...... Forget it. ”

No matter how precious the cat he gave was, it wasn't the one she wanted to raise.

She stood under the lantern hanging on the edge of the building and straightened her sleeves: "My lord, go back." After the cool breeze of the night, she couldn't help but raise her hand and cough a few times.

Seeing this, he stretched out a hand to take her into his arms, but before touching her shoulder, he took it back.

If she had done that, she would have run away like the right cat.

He took his hands and casually followed her into the room.

Closing the door casually, he suddenly spoke: "The official knows what you are worried about, and the official has gone to ask, there are no more vacant rooms." You are a woman, and those inconveniences can be saved by this official. It's just that when you're out of the house, you can't pay too much attention to it. If you take care of your body as soon as possible, you will be doing your official a great favor. ”

He figured out the way to get along with her, and if he didn't say some things, he hoped that she would figure it out by herself, and she could only think of him as the worst. He could only talk a little more, and talked to her, and both of them were at ease.

She frowned and replied softly, "Yes." And because he pierced his mind, the roots of his ears were slightly red, "My lord is a righteous gentleman, I know." ”

He narrowed his eyes: "This official is not a decent gentleman, he just wants to save some face here with Miss Song." I'm afraid that Miss Song has already listed many crimes for this official in her heart, and this official doesn't want to add another one. ”

Song Ran's face froze: "My lord is joking." ”

When he heard this, he raised an eyebrow. said that he was a decent gentleman, and he laughed twice unseriously: "You sleep in the bed inside." But the tent must be covered, and if you accidentally touch the official's bed at night, what happens will not be up to the official. ”

Hearing his words, Song Ran carefully covered the tent.

Sleep in clothes and have nothing to do all night.

After two days of recuperation in Linqing, Song Ran's health improved, and early in the morning of the third day, he hired a carriage and went all the way to Hangzhou.
