Chapter Twenty-Three: A Treat
Huo Jiulin also felt the change in Shen Yiqing's body, and looked at him with some surprise, Shen Yiqing seemed to be able to feel his gaze, and slightly turned his head and said sullenly: "Don't look at me, it's a matter of wine." ”
I hate Cai Jiuniang so much in my heart, just make wine well, what do you have to do to study such wine, and this medicine is too strong, it is not enough to vent once.
"Yes, yes, it's a matter of wine, so I've got to make you comfortable first."
"I can do it myself."
"Am I uncomfortable serving you?"
Huo Jiulin found that Shen Yiqing had a stinky problem, that is, when he encountered a question that was not easy to answer, he either diverted the topic or pretended to be silent, such as now, he started to stop talking again, and he was about to be laughed at.
Shen Yiqing's breathing became more and more rapid, and it was difficult to ignore the medicinal properties, but Huo Jiulin's guy really didn't touch him anymore, and his whole body was as soft as a beach water, he didn't have any strength at all, and he couldn't even lift his hands.
"Huo Jiulin."
He couldn't help but shout, Huo Jiulin raised his eyes to look at him, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" ”
Shen Yiqing pursed his lips and was silent, he just said that he could do it just now, but now in a blink of an eye, he really couldn't say it to ask him for help, and it was still such an embarrassing thing, but he didn't say Huo Jiulin or urge, and finally Shen Yiqing felt that he was about to be tortured and went crazy, and finally endured it to the limit, and said unhappily: "Go on." ”
"Continue? What to continue? ”
Knowing that Huo Jiulin must be laughing at him in his heart, Shen Yiqing felt that his face was lost anyway, so he muttered, unlike Shen Yiqing's hurried mood, Huo Jiulin's voice sounded extremely leisurely, "What to say?" Didn't hear clearly. ”
Shen Sangongzi yelled a little angrily: "Huo Jiulin, you get out of here!" ”
"As you wish."
Shen Yiqing's heart was cold, let him get out at this time? In such a situation, what if he really left himself and left? In an instant, a little grievance surged in his heart, why were all these things bumped into by him, and he was the one who was unlucky every time.
"Okay, hurry up... Don't get out of ......"
The rolling word in the back didn't have any momentum at all, because he found that Huo Jiulin was really as he wanted, referring not to the latter sentence, but to the previous sentence, and he couldn't help but be angry, this scoundrel obviously heard it, but pretended not to hear it clearly, and he had to be embarrassed a little more to be satisfied.
It didn't take long for Shen Sangongzi to be served and he couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, and he forgot that he was still angry just now, I don't know how long it took, Huo Jiulin whispered in Shen Yiqing's ear, "Aqing, I have been serving you for so long, shouldn't I be treated?" ”
Shen Yiqing didn't understand what he meant by the so-called reward, and looked at him a little confused, and then found that Huo Jiulin's hand slid down his lower back, and his whole person froze, and he pulled back some reason, although he couldn't say anything to refuse, but he always felt that if he really took this step, he would never be able to take it back in the future.
A heart has begun to get out of control, does it have to give up even the body? With Huo Jiulin's character, it always feels a little impossible for him to live his life alone, if he gets tired of this relationship one day and wants to take it back, how should he deal with himself at that time?
I used to always listen to his father's concubines, what I can't get is the best, and if I get it, I won't know how to cherish it, and then I will start to get tired of it, does this mean that I handed over myself, and this relationship will come to an end?
"I... I didn't..."
"Nothing?"
"Not ready..."
The ambiguity of Fang Cai was swept away, and the atmosphere began to become silent, Shen Yiqing was a little nervous in his heart, and then he heard Huo Jiulin sigh softly.
"Are you still feeling well?"
Shen Yiqing shook his head, Huo Jiulin got up and checked for him, and found that the medicinal properties should have finally been vented, so he covered the quilt for him with confidence and turned to leave.
"Where are you going?"
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Shen Yiqing subconsciously asked, Huo Jiulin paused for a moment before explaining: "You rest first, I'll be back soon." ”
Then there was the sound of the door closing, the room was empty, Shen Yiqing felt that his heart seemed to be empty, although Huo Jiulin didn't complain anything, but he must have been disappointed in his heart.
Shen Yiqing closed his eyes a little sadly, he was really unprepared and didn't dare to take the last step, so he retreated at the critical moment, perhaps, it would take some time.
It didn't take long for the door to be pushed open again, and Shen Yiqing opened his eyes, eager to see if it was Huo Jiulin, but it was pitch black in front of him, and he couldn't see anything.
"Guest officer, put it like this?"
The voice of the shopkeeper sounded in the room, and Shen Yiqing wanted to get up, but he still didn't have much strength on his body, but fortunately, when he was entangled, Huo Jiulin's voice came.
"Well, that's it."
Then there was the sound of pouring water, in and out quite a few times, and finally Xiao Er left, Huo Jiulin lit the candle, and then walked to the side of the bed and said, "Aqing, take a bath before sleeping?" ”
Shen Yiqing didn't feel it when he was struggling with things just now, but now after he mentioned it, he suddenly felt that his body was sticky and uncomfortable, he nodded, Huo Jiulin lifted the quilt and picked him up, walked to the bathtub and carefully put him down.
The tired body was immersed in the hot water very comfortable, Huo Jiulin quietly wiped Shen Yiqing's back, Shen Yiqing felt a little guilty, so he took the initiative to find a topic: "I don't know how Miss Xue solved it over there." ”
"That's their family matter, let them worry about it, we should help everything, we should be able to revoke the lockdown tomorrow, and we will leave tomorrow morning."
Shen Yiqing didn't seem to be abnormal when he heard his voice, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Huo Jiulin asked him to soak for a while, and then went to change the sheets and quilts by himself, fortunately, there was a spare set in the inn cabinet.
Shen Yiqing took a bath, put on her underwear and pants, and when she lay down on the bed again, she felt that the whole person was much more refreshed, and a few shopkeepers came in to clean up the bathtub and everything.
"You rest first, I'll go to the City Lord's Mansion."
"Maybe they're still in the Chen Mansion?"
"It doesn't matter, I'm going to get my luggage."
"Don't say goodbye to them tomorrow?"
"There's no need, and you may not be able to see them in the future, and besides, they're all in a mess now, and they don't have time to distract from anything else, so it's better not to bother."
"It's fine."
Huo Jiulin left through the window, and when he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, he found that they really hadn't come back, and he didn't know if they were still in the Chen Mansion or went to the Yamen, so he didn't alarm anyone, went to the guest room to pack his luggage and returned to the inn.
However, Shen Sangongzi had insomnia again this night, because after Huo Jiulin came back, he sat directly at the table to rest, and did not sleep on the bed, so he sighed helplessly, maybe he was still angry.
In fact, Huo Jiulin was really not angry, he just felt that he had finally calmed down just now, and he was afraid that if he slept in the same bed at night, he would not be able to control what happened just now.
Since A-Qing said that he was not ready, he naturally would not force him to do anything, it was just a matter of time, and one day he would believe in his sincerity.
On the second day, the lockdown order of Xi Luocheng was revoked, and the people in the city were shocked when they saw the notice posted at the entrance of the vegetable market, but they didn't expect so many things to happen overnight, and the missing brides have all returned safely, but unfortunately except for Liu Gongzi, the rest of the grooms are all gone.
No matter what the cause of these things is, it has led to a lot of tragedies, Huang Yan and Cai Jiuniang were both imprisoned by Zhang County's order, as for how to sentence, because the situation is serious, it is necessary to consult the superiors.
And Xue Wu also gave up the position of the city lord, although he has always been the one who has been kept in the dark in these things, but no matter how he says it, it has something to do with him, so he feels that he also needs to bear a certain responsibility, and it is impossible for him to have no feelings at all with Huang Yan for so many years.
The scenery of Xiumei Lake is still the same, and the Xue family's painting boat has also been repaired, Xue Yarou leaned on the fence and watched the sun shine on the lake, dotted with stars.
"Miss Xue's melancholy wind today?"
Chi Xuan walked over and asked, Xue Yarou glanced at him, he didn't want to talk, Chi Xuan didn't mind, raised his hand and patted the fence, and invited credit: "I rushed a few night workers and repaired it myself, Miss Xue is reliable, keep it firmly!" ”
"You repaired it?"
"Of course, who else but me can be so versatile!"
Xue Yarou sneered: "Do you think I don't know that someone went to the account office yesterday to get the repair salary?!" Think about whether it will be debunked before bragging next time. ”
"That's me!"
"You?"
"Yes, I thought about it, you have to pay for it anyway, you have to pay for it, as the so-called fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, it is better to cheapen me, so we can get acquainted."
"The surname is Chi, Miss Ben hired you to take care of the painting boat, these repairs are originally your business, you used to be lazy every day with your salary, and now you want to get double?!"
"How can I be lazy, I am clearly loyal to my duties every day, you really can't find a good helper like me, you can't find a lantern, don't steal fun and pick and choose."
"Okay, I'll count how many times you've been lazy......"
Xue Yarou really counted him down seriously, Chi Xuan looked at her with a smile, although she was fierce, but it was better than being lifeless just now.
In the dead of night, Huang Yan sat in the corner of the prison, in fact, she is much more relaxed now than in the previous ten years, the only regret is that she can't see her child before she dies.
There was a sudden sound of footsteps in the silent prison, and she was not in the mood to pay attention to it, but in the end the footsteps stopped in front of her cell door, and she looked up with some confusion, and was greeted by a young man, with handsome eyebrows and outstanding temperament.
"You are?"
"In Xia Chi Xuan, I was entrusted by someone to come and tell you a word."
"What?"
"He said he was doing well."
Huang Yan didn't understand, but when he wanted to ask, he suddenly thought of a possibility, and then quickly got up and walked to the prison door, and asked in a trembling voice: "How can I believe that what you said is true or false?" ”
"A red mole on the wrist."
The simple six words made Huang Yan's tears fall instantly, "Where is he?" ”
"I've already brought the words, so don't leave it at that."
Chi Xuan turned around and left the prison, and Huang Yan behind him broke down and cried, for her who was deeply guilty, it was enough to know that her son was still in the world, and it was also a reason for him to refuse to come to see her, after all, she was the one who ruthlessly abandoned him in the first place.
Chi Xuan walked out of the prison, looked at the officials around him who were dotted with acupoints, raised his hand and prepared to relieve them of the acupoints, his sleeves slipped down to reveal the red mole on his wrist, he was stunned, and finally did nothing and left directly.
On the carriage in the woods, Huo Jiulin sat upright, while Shen Yiqing fell asleep on his shoulder, he hugged the person in his arms tighter, his eyes were heavy, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, the affairs of the Xue Mansion are certainly impressive, but the affairs of his Su family can be described in three words.
Yunyan City, I don't know how much distance there is, but the closer he gets, the more uneasy his heart becomes, fourteen years, and he finally has to go back to face those.
