In the blink of an eye, Xia Qian married into the General's Mansion for more than a month, and after Huo Zun changed the image of the ice scumbag man in the past, her life was much happier and more peaceful, and she laughed with the maids in the West Courtyard from time to time.

One day, Huo Zun, who had become a bounty hunter, surprisingly did not go out, and sat alone in the study to read.

Xia Qian chatted with the six maids in the yard, saying that her favorite food was crabs.

Qing Yue looked at her in surprise and asked in disbelief, "Young lady, the crab is so terrifying, the whole body is full of hard shells, can it really be eaten?" ”

"That's right, almost no one in Yiguo eats crabs, I don't know what the reason is, nine out of ten people vomit and leak after eating, some people have red rashes all over their bodies, and some people die inexplicably!" Another maid followed.

Xia Qian smiled disapprecitatively: "The crab tastes delicious, especially after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the fat and meat are tender." At this time of year, I will follow my father and mother to buy crabs, and after a long time, I will catch one in my hand and know how much it costs! ”

In the eyes of everyone, crabs are extremely harmful to the body, and everyone really can't understand that their frail and sickly young lady has this preference.

Xia Qian wanted to explain that crabs are cold, and people who vomit and vomit after eating them are not paired with ginger vinegar, and people with allergies may have eaten some foods that are compatible, such as vitamin-rich vegetables or fruits.

After a moment of hesitation, she chuckled and sighed, saying that they couldn't figure it out either.

Turning her head, she found that Huo Zun was already standing at the door at some point, the expression on his face was like ice in the mountains, and his eyes were even colder.

She looked at him in surprise, walked up and said with a light smile: "What's the matter, reading a book can make you angry like this?"

"Do you like crabs? Loved it since childhood? His cold eyes were fixed on her.

She quickly went through the previous words in her mind, felt that there was nothing wrong, and nodded.

Huo Zun's face was cold, his expression was desperate, he saw her from his forehead to the soles of his feet like looking at an unknown creature, and finally walked out of the West Courtyard without saying a word.

For more than ten days, he went out early and returned late, which significantly shortened the time he spent with her, and even avoided her care unintentionally.

Xia Qian thought that he was depressed in his heart, after all, he was the son of the general's mansion.

Under the imperial city, the pride of the sky is often humiliated now, and he has to be a bounty hunter in the stars and the moon, where can he afford such grievances?

With something in her heart, she naturally couldn't sleep, and when she saw Huo Zun get on his boots and go out to practice swords, she got up and made breakfast for him.

He frowned at the steaming meal on the table, said he was in a hurry to see his friends, and turned to walk out of the house.

"Huo Zun," she tugged at his sleeve gently, "I know you're working as a bounty hunter, it's a very hard and very dangerous thing. We can talk about it, maybe there's a better way! ”

A layer of dark clouds instantly rolled up on his cold face, and there was a sudden mixture of anger in her tone: "How do you know? ”

Xia Qian frowned, and muttered, "I...... Guess it, the book says that people who can do martial arts, if they don't have anything to do, most of them will be bounty hunters. And when you came back that day, there was blood on your boots......"

She didn't say any more, because she saw the anger that kept gathering in his eyes.

He looked at her angrily, inexplicably pulled out a smile, and asked: "The book also says that in addition to taking people's heads on the battlefield, people who know martial arts will also be thieves, and the old and weak women and children will not let go, are you afraid?" ”

"Thieves?"

Xia Qian's heart twitched, and her mind was chaotic.

After that day, Huo Zun ignored her completely, and almost fell asleep when he returned home, even eating outside.

One night, she mustered up her courage and turned her head to face him.

Huo Zun's eyelashes trembled, he raised his eyelids and glanced at her, turning to face the cold white jade wall.

Xia Qian stared at his back, her heart hurting.

In the fifty days since she got married, she took the initiative to turn to face him for the first time on the bed.

It's a pity that all that awaits her is a back!

She bit her thin lip and asked softly, "Did I do something wrong to make you angry?" ”

He didn't say anything, he didn't even lift his eyelids.

"You," her fingers clutched at the quilt tightened and tightened, "don't you want me?" ”

There was still no sound, and the heartbeat could be heard quietly in the cold bedroom.

"I know, it's that I'm not worthy of you, and it's nothing that you all look down on me. You are young and will have a bright future, and I am also young and have a lot of things to do. Why don't you give me a letter of resignation, everyone! ”

Recently, these words have been in her mind countless times, and her heart has hurt countless times, but the pain is not fatal.

She knows that there must be a result in this matter, and since she can't afford to love it, she can still let it go and find a way for herself to live as soon as possible.

"Tell me what you want to do?" He turned his back to her and asked coldly.

She glanced at the bed above her head, and said expectantly: "This place is not polluted, the sky is blue and the green spring water is sweet, I want to walk all over the mountains and rivers to see the white clouds and streams, frost dyed red leaves." If possible, I hope to open a teahouse in the idyllic town, enjoy the chrysanthemum, taste the tea, and raise a few big white geese! ”

A hint of sneer appeared on the corners of Huo Zun's purled lips, and he fell asleep silently.

After that day, he moved into the study to sleep, and Xia Qian didn't see him again for seven or eight days.

One day, Yu Nuan hurriedly ran in, knelt in front of her and pleaded for a long time, saying that Bai Bing was picking osmanthus flowers in the east courtyard and was discovered by the government soldiers, Huo Zun wanted to beat her to death, and asked Xia Qian to rush to save people.

Xia Qian listened to a few words casually, stretched and returned to the bedroom.

Yu Nuan hurriedly followed up with the dormitory, confessed that Bai Bing was on a mission to investigate Huo Feng, and emphasized many times that the three of them were both damaged.

"My dignity and emotions are all trampled under his feet, what do you let me save them? No matter what the outcome is today, don't come to me again! ”

Outside the west courtyard is the main courtyard of the General's Mansion, and the magnificent water pavilion and pavilion corridor divide the entire General's Mansion into three courtyards in the east, north and west, and the south side is the tall gatehouse and guest hall.

In the main courtyard, Huo Zun sat in the vermilion pavilion, casually playing with the purple sand cup on the table.

Xia Qian stopped more than ten steps away from him and looked at him silently.

At this time, Fan Mang ran into the pavilion and asked Huo Zun for instructions: "I have been beaten for fifty boards, and I haven't done anything, what should I do next?" ”

"Add another fifty boards, if you still don't recruit, sell it directly into Liuyun Pavilion, the second floor!" Huo Zun said expressionlessly.

Xia Qian twisted her eyebrows, raised her feet and walked up.

After a long time in his mind, when he clearly saw his cold face, there was only a pale sentence: "Bai Bing is my maid, can you go around her once?" ”

His eyes fell on the delicate purple sand teacup, and he asked coldly, "Are you begging me?" ”

Beg!

Her heart was like a steel needle passing through, and it hurt with a "whoosh".

Lowering her head, swallowing the disappointment and pain in her eyes silently, she said seriously: "Yes, for the sake of the first time I begged you, please go around her once!" ”

"For the first time?" He sneered disdainfully, "Think about it a few times!" ”

"If you don't insist on practicing swords, it's even once, I admit it's the second time!"

A dark cloud appeared on his face, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, and sneered: "The second time? Even if it's the second time, why should I let her go? ”

"Bai Bing is my maid, yesterday, I said to make some osmanthus cakes to eat, she saw that there was no golden laurel tree in the west courtyard, so she ran to the east courtyard on a whim. It's her who does things abruptly, and I can't discipline her, please go around her once! ”

"Once? Hum! He sneered, suddenly clenched the teacup in his hand, and said impatiently: "Do you go back to the room by yourself, or let Fan Mang send you back!" ”

Xia Qian's back stiffened, she bit her red lip fiercely, looked at him in disbelief, and said sadly: "I knew you hated me, but I didn't expect it to be so disgusted!" If you let her go, I promise to stay away from you in the future, and I will never hinder your eyes! ”
