Song Ran walked in, only to see that the courtyard was overgrown with wild grass, spider webs everywhere, and a layer of green algae floating on the surface of the water tank, which fell crookedly on the small bench next to the well, and was also covered with moss.

She asked, "My lord, here is ......?"

Something was on the soles of my feet, and when I looked down, it was a small rattle. Not far away, in the wild grass, she also found a bamboo horse for children to ride, but after the wind and rain, it was difficult to distinguish the original appearance.

The man next to him didn't make a sound, he looked around quietly, and there was no special emotion on his face.

He walked into a room, and with the action of pushing the door, dust fell in a row, and Song Ran, who was following him, was extremely sensitive to dust, and couldn't help but sneeze twice in a row, covering his nose with one hand, and waving his other hand in mid-air to disperse the dust.

Shen Hanxi had already marched in and stopped beside a strip-shaped wooden shelf. The wooden frame has a unique shape, with a horizontal and longitudinal horizontal pole on it, a stone at the top of the round hole, a sink below, and a wooden pole next to it, on which a bucket is hung. There was another table in the corner, on which were piled up some jade materials and a few knives of different shapes. Song Ran's eyelids jumped slightly, and he understood that he should be a jade carver who lived here, and the wooden frame was a water stool used to cut jade.

Shen Hanxi said lightly: "When I was a child, I was often here, watching my father carve jade. ”

Hearing the word "my father" from his mouth made Song Ran hold his breath slightly. He had a face devoid of any fireworks, and she almost forgot that he didn't appear in the world out of thin air. He also had his father, and he had his mother.

The father in his mouth must not refer to Gu Linsheng, but to his biological father.

Did his biological father turn out to be a jade carver? However, how could he be adopted by Gu Linsheng when he was five years old?

She listened quietly to him as he continued: "That man is not a good father, he often forgets to sleep and eat when he carves jade, and he is often locked up in this room and does not take a step for three or five months. As long as he picks up the carving knife, there is only the jade in his hand in his eyes. ”

He spoke lightly, as if he were talking about someone else. Song Ran looked at his side face in a daze, wondering if he was looking at the water stool at this time, or at the person who had been sitting there.

"He has a strange temper, fickle, cowardly but obedient, no one in this world can tolerate his bad temper, and the only one who can endure it is my mother."

He said and sneered lowly: "What a stupid woman that is, originally a phoenix on a branch, but she wanted to elope with such a good-for-nothing person, and she didn't even have a name, so she gave birth to a child for him." Fortunately, later this person became famous, a mere craftsman, but he was well-known in the government and the opposition, and for a time Luoyang paper was expensive, and was pursued by high-ranking officials and nobles. He paused slightly, his voice still lazy, "But the fame given by the world is of no use to him, but it has brought him death." Who made him love jade and became obsessed, so obsessed that he didn't know that there was firewood, rice, oil and salt in this world, and he didn't know that there were still dynasties in this world. ”

When Song Ran heard this, his heart was already raised high, but his voice was still calm and calm: "When the saint heard about his reputation, he specially sent someone to ask him to make a jade pot, and put forward many harsh requirements. He didn't know that the world had already changed dynasties, and now the world is already the world of the Zhu family. It was such a mistake that ruined his family. ”

Song Ran's voice trembled, and he asked, "Is Ling Zun ...... The Holy Hand of Zhuoyu, Liu Zi'an? ”

It was the jade carver who was beheaded all over the house because he angered the saint, Liu Zi'an.

Not long ago, she also had a conflict with Miss Biao of the Li Mansion over one of his hostas. At that time, how could she have imagined that one day, she would have such a connection with this name.

Shen Hanxi was noncommittal, and said: "The day before the incident, a dignitary who had asked him to carve jade sent someone to report the news, and he hurriedly woke my mother from her sleep and asked her to escape from the back door with me in her arms. My mother eloped with him here, and she lived in a secluded house in ordinary times, and few people had seen it, and with the help of the nobleman who reported the news, she was able to escape the wanted of the imperial court. However, in this world, there is no goodwill for no reason. ”

Song Ran's body shivered for a while, and then he heard the ominous premonition he confirmed in his heart.

He sneered: "Where does that noble person want to help our mother and son, but to my beautiful mother, with ulterior motives." When he said the words ulterior motives, there was a strong murderous intent in his eyes, "My mother, who was raped by that person in front of me, hit herself headlong in front of me." ”

Her hands clenched tightly, not knowing what to say to express her distress for him.

Her heart is distressed, and he probably won't want it.

He looked down at her, and there was some unspeakable cruelty in his voice: "The woman who was raped and killed in front of me is called Shen Tassel." Raising the hand with the jade wrench, an empty smile appeared on her lips, "This wrench is the object of her love affair with the world-famous jade carver, and it is also the only object I can take away from her corpse." ”

Her body shook, then she reached out and took his hand and placed it on the side of her face. Feeling the temperature of his slightly rough palm, she choked up and said, "Is this Shen Yun's story?" So Shen Yun ...... How did he end up in the Gu Mansion? ”

His voice was lazy: "The noble man threw me and my mother's body into a mass grave and wanted the vicious dogs to eat them. He raised his eyebrows and said, "It's a pity that Lord Yama doesn't accept me." As for how to get to Gu Linsheng, it took too long, and I forgot it. ”

The more he spoke, the more she felt sorry for him, and tears flowed endlessly. He said helplessly: "I told you this, I didn't want to make you cry." ”

Fingers wiped the corners of her eyes, and said comfortingly: "The revenge of killing my mother, this official has avenged it many years ago, and the ugly face when he cried and begged for mercy from this official, this official still remembers it at this time." The tone was disgusted, but with indescribable tenderness, he ordered, "Crying makes people upset, don't cry anymore." ”

She snorted, thinking to herself, if he had any unpleasant words today, she would forgive him and not bother with him.

Unexpectedly, he changed his words and said, "Okay, Miss Mo already knows at this time that this official is the son of a criminal minister." Now it's time to talk about what you want the official to let you go. ”

She froze at his words, tears still rolling in her eyes when she looked up, but her expression slowly became complicated.

At this time, he didn't forget to dig a pit for her, waiting for her to jump inside.

Looking at her changing expression, his eyes deepened, and his fingers slid from the side of her face to her hair, stopping at her fair and delicate neck, pausing slightly.

He said: "Miss Mo, this official has no reservations about you, when the Holy Lord wanted to give this official a mansion, this official deliberately chose this place, but this mansion is the first time that this official has come back since leaving home. What remains here is a dead Shen Yun, who has come back to life because of you. If you leave him behind, he will become a lonely ghost again, will you bear it? ”

She had already stopped crying, because his nose was sour again because of his words.

"This Shen Yun, who is useless and can't even be guarded by his biological mother, is yours from today on."

As he spoke, he took her hand and put it on his chest, in a threatening tone: "If you want it, you have to ask for it, if you don't, you have to ask for it." ”

She was crying, but when she heard the words "poof" and laughed, she laughed while crying, and her expression was a little funny: "My lord, this is forced to buy and sell, and the Dajing Law has always strictly forbidden." ”

His expression was full of disdain: "What is the Great Jing Order?" As he spoke, he pulled her into his arms and said, "I've never heard of it." ”

She buried her head in his brocade robe, listened to the sound of his heartbeat, slowed down for a while, and said, "My lord, I only ate half of the baked cake today, and I am about to starve to death." ”

Two quarters of an hour later, the Shen Mansion was in the hall.

Shen Hanxi sat across the table, looking at the girl who was immersed in eating, with explicit disgust in her eyes.

He often suspected that this girl was the reincarnation of a starving ghost. He also had a time of starvation, but he was not as obsessed with eating as she was.

However, people who are always thinking about eating will probably not despair.

His eyes softened imperceptibly.

He likes her, because he likes the vigorous vitality in her. This vitality makes her look so different.

She ate two bowls of rice before she finally put down the dishes and chopsticks with satisfaction, and immediately a maid stepped forward and brought her a silver cup to rinse her mouth. She wiped her mouth and looked at Shen Hanxi: "My lord, I still can't stay in your mansion." ”

Hearing her repeat the old story, he immediately frowned in displeasure, but did not attack immediately, and after letting the maid retreat, he patiently asked her, "Reason." ”

She lowered her eyes, with a thoughtful expression, and said, "The matter of the mole, I thought about it, but it was still strange. ”

"Oh?"

"Lord Xia found out this secret stake, does he really have the ability to find out so many secrets?"

Shen Hanxi took a long time and listened to her analysis: "When the Ting Weisi chased and killed the mute and chased him to my home, I didn't know that person was the secret stake of the Mo family, so when the adults asked me, I told the adults about Uncle Zhong buying him for two taels of gold. His rule has always been harsh, and at that time, he must have been dealt with. ”

He said: "If you accept bribes, you will be fined for one year according to the rules of the Imperial Health Division, and the official will be reduced by one to five according to the degree of bribery." ”

Song Ran said: "He was originally a middle-class general, and if he was demoted by one level, he was reduced to the bottom. The adult's trip to Zhejiang, but even Lord Xia didn't know. How did he, a small low-ranking general, get the news? After that, he hurriedly added, "My lord Mingjian, this news is definitely leaked from me, Zhong Bo and the dumb man are even more impossible, my heart for adults, the sun and the moon can be seen......"

He glanced at her, interrupted her extra oath, and said, "So, do you suspect that this secret stake may have been used as a target, and the real thief next to this official is actually someone else?" ”

She said, "Not possibly, for sure." Her gaze was gloomy, exuding confidence, "Moreover, this man is a person that adults trust very much, and he knows them well." Even Lord Xia should be suspicious. ”
