Seeing that the master put his hand close to his chest, Song Guanqiong's pupils shook slightly, and he regained his calm in an instant, but he just moved his position to block the sight of the Duchess of Dingguo.

Xia Sushuang has lived in many difficult mountains for a long time, saying that the Lingtai is clear, but in fact, he is very ignorant of the world, and he is unaware of the reactions of others.

Xiang Jingkui had long been accustomed to seeing the master and his brother getting along, and seeing that the master looked serious, where would he want to go somewhere else and look at them.

Song Guanqiong knew that in the worldly etiquette, such a move would attract strange eyes, just like he often went in and out of her boudoir.

But he would rather be in trouble than tell the master, if she knew, she would definitely deliberately stay away from him.

How could he still talk about comforting intimacy?

Xia Sushuang silently calculated, and looked so serious that he was a little worried: "Your breathing is too chaotic, your heart is beating too fast, what happened?" ”

She didn't mean to ask suspiciously, but she was worried that the apprentice had gone out early and had only returned now, what had happened.

Song Guanqiong's gaze was withdrawn from the slender and green hand placed in his heart, and his breath was relaxed, "It's okay, it's just that I rode a horse and galloped when I came." ”

Xia Sushuang still didn't understand: "But why do you still smell of medicine?" ”

Jinshan heard that the corners of his forehead jumped, and Xiang Jingkui also looked over.

Song Guanqiong's eyelashes fluttered, and he said softly: "There are many firecrackers on the first day, and the disciples passed through the East Market, and met a few Taoist temples burning paper with lamps, and passed by the Ancestral Temple, and accidentally stained with some incense ash, which was mixed with the medicinal powder of the medicinal herb grinding, which was contaminated on the body. ”

He blocked the wind for her, and Xia Sushuang did smell the smell of fireworks from it.

The eldest apprentice has always been calm and down-to-earth, she never thought that he would lie to herself, and believed everything he said.

After listening to Shizi's words, Jinshan finally understood why Shizi deliberately went around to Dongshi.

If he came directly to the Xiyue Marquis Mansion, Master Shizi would smell the smell of blood on his body, and the smell of medicine would not be easy to explain.

"I heard that you are the left guard of the crown prince, and I will always worry more about the teacher."

No matter how well the apprentice learns, Xia Sushuang will be at ease just like looking at his own child.

"The East Palace is the safest place, and the apprentices are just guards, so Master doesn't need to worry about me."

Song Guanqiong said a few words hastily, these are not what he wanted to say when he came over.

What he wanted to ask was-

After considering the words, he asked: "That Lang Jun is now in Jianjing?" ”

"Huh?"

"The Marriage Contract ......"

Xiang Jingkui saw that his senior brother was also fooled, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, you are also confused, if the master has a marriage contract, then Lang Jun is afraid that he would have come to the door to ask to marry back, where is he willing to wait until now." ”

Song Guanqiong was stunned for a moment and looked at the master.

Xia Sushuang "shh ”

He suddenly lowered his head and smiled.

"Yes, it's a secret."

After all, under Yang's nose, Song Guanqiong couldn't stay here forever, he put down the dim sum in Qingfeng Lou and returned to the main seat.

When Yang saw him come back, he said nonchalantly: "You can talk to your junior sister, talk and laugh." ”

The main seat was warm, Song Guanqiong was silent, looking down at the pulpit, his pupils were almost cold.

The proverb is finally over.

Xiang Jingkui stretched, "Master, this monk is so boring to even tell stories, how can he attract so many people to listen, it's not early, I have to go back to the house first." ”

said the same as when he came, and did not say goodbye to the Duchess of the country, so everyone slipped downstairs first.

The snow fell again, some people held up umbrellas, some people walked to the verandah, Xia Sushuang went downstairs after Yang, but he didn't see the figure of the big apprentice near Yang.

Turning to look at the small building, the mountain and the water are coming down, but they are standing in front of the stairs and guarding.

She went over and asked, "What happened?" ”

Near the mountain is straightforward, only the martial arts are outstanding, and the water is more exquisite, he bowed to Xia Sushuang and took a step away,

"Master, please—"

The upstairs was already empty, and the open observation building seemed to be a picture of the snow floating there, and Xia Sushuang saw a person kneeling there.

"Ah Ji, why are you kneeling?" She stepped forward quickly.

Song Guanqiong not only knelt, but also held a copper basin.

The snow in the basin was pushed into a hill, and if it shook slightly, it collapsed and sprinkled on the body, and there was a stove baking next to it.

Seeing her coming, Song Guanqiong raised his head and slightly pulled the corners of his mouth: "Master, I'm fine, it's just ...... Take a penalty. ”

Xia Sushuang didn't understand: "Why did the Duchess punish you?" ”

Naturally, the Yang family didn't like his disobedience, didn't like him to see them in the past, and didn't like him to laugh at an inopportune time......

But how could these Song Guanqiong let the master know.

He just whispered, "Mother is like this, at least she saves me face." ”

"Look at her for the sake of her own face!"

Xia Sushuang saw that the apprentice did not have the slightest resentment, he was even more angry than he was bullied, and he was not polite when he spoke.

immediately realized that he was talking about the apprentice's mother, and unconsciously glanced at him, biting her lip and regretting it.

Song Guanqiong didn't care, but thought about her: "In the future, if the master doesn't want to see his mother, he can push it off." ”

Xia Sushuang Xindao Duchess is so domineering, how can he be a son with the word "filial piety".

However, after this experience, the Duchess of Guo probably won't want to see herself in the future.

"The teacher knows it," Xia Xushuang said, and he was about to pick up the snow he was holding: "The Duchess is not here, and no one is watching, so get up quickly." ”

Song Guanqiong clasped her hand, but didn't get up, "It's okay." ”

"Okay? So how do you get the Kinsui to know that the teacher is here? ”

Xia Sushuang watched him grow up, how could he not understand the little caution of his apprentice.

In the past, when Little Sunflower first went up the mountain, Xia Sushuang naturally took more care of her, and the big apprentice who was silent was even more silent, and when he was practicing the sword, he walked farther and was injured, so Xia Sushuang had to be distracted to take care of him again and again.

Many years later, she slowly reacted that the excessive "stupidity" of the big apprentice was really different from the intelligence later, and the result was that Xia Sushuang had to frequently deal with the big apprentice's injuries and guide him to use the sword.

Looking back, the little sunflower had already caught birds and insects, and there was no one to be found.

Guilty of negligence in the little apprentice, Xia Sushuang had too many requirements for the little sunflower who practiced martial arts, and the little apprentice was more like a friend to her master.

It's hard to be a master, especially when you have two apprentices.

Now Ah Ji is no more sensible, and even teaches his mentor sister in person, saving Xia Sushuang a lot of effort, and it is difficult to pursue the past.

Now that she is "doing the same trick again", she is only not angry.

Song Guanqiong was punctured in his mind, and he was not ashamed.

He deliberately disobeyed the Yang family and attracted the master to see him.

"Master, I've been waiting for you in Jianjing for two years, why are you here now?" Song Guanqiong called out his tone, as if changing the topic.

This question has been pondering in his mind for several days, why has he begged for two years, and the master has only been willing to go down the mountain until now.

Did she really come to Jianjing just to visit herself?

Faced with this question, Xia Sushuang was stunned for a moment before saying: "Naturally, it is to visit you, and there is little sunflower, Ah Ji, I thought that you had a happy time in Jianjing, but it was late for the teacher." ”

Song Guanqiong looked at her fixedly: "I will only be happy when I see Master." ”

Xia Sushuang was amused by this somewhat childish remark, "You haven't spoken like this for a long time. ”

In recent years, Song Guanqiong has become more and more calm and assertive, no longer relying on her, but greeting her every day, serving left and right, speaking and doing things in a very straightforward manner, and she began to ask him what he meant in many things.

Now the rare innocent words of the eldest apprentice caused Xia Sushuang to sigh infinitely, "Master remembers that when you were young, you also said that it would be good if you were your aunt for the teacher.

Ah Ji, if you are unhappy in the Guogong Mansion and want to go back to Duonan Mountain, the master will take you back, even the Duchess of Guo will not be able to stop you. ”

She has always been short-sighted.

Song Guanqiong frowned: "What the apprentice said back then was clearly that Ruo A-Niang was also like the master did to me...... That's it. ”

How could this be confused, and he was already eleven years old at that time, not young.

Xia Sushuang frowned and recalled, "That's not what it means." ”

Song Guanqiong approached his body: "How does that mean!" Master is clearly only five years older than me, how can I let Master be a mother......"

Seeing that the apprentice's eyes were serious to the point of being a little stubborn, Xia Sushuang was a little confused, so he had to say vaguely: "Okay, it's the master who said the wrong thing......

"No, it's just a ...... Master, it's cold here, so go back first. ”

He looked away.

How can Xia Sushuang go with confidence: "Ah Ji, I have never asked you for so many years, you told the master, was it because of the Duchess of Guo that the Duke of Dingguo sent you to the Difficult Mountain?" ”

He is the son of the Guogong Mansion, but he worships the people of the rivers and lakes as a teacher, how can there be no hidden secrets behind it.

Song Guanqiong's eyes flickered, only that today is enough, and it is not a good time to confess.

"Master, I'll talk to you about this another day, okay?"

Of course, Xia Sushuang followed him.

As he spoke, the snow on the basin melted, wetting Song Guanqiong's sleeves, his snow-washed face was too cold and white, and his dark eyes were wet and pitiful.

Xia Sushuang looked distressed: "You better put the basin down." ”

She, as a master, has never physically punished him, Ah Ji has always been sensible and never let people worry about it, why did the Duchess of Guo criticize him so much?

Of course it's not enough.

Song Guanqiong replied unhurriedly: "If my mother sees that my robe is not wet when I go back, she will know that I have not obeyed her orders." ”

The residual temperature of the stove dissipated, and the chill that chilled through the spine returned to the small building again, and Song Guanqiong's breath was filled with white mist, and the wet clothes were like thousands of small needles piercing his body.

When no one spoke, the sound of his breathing in Xia Sushuang's ears was especially obvious.

"Enough is enough!"

When—

She overturned the copper basin and covered Song Guanqiong's frozen red hand in her arms.

The hands were so cold that Xia Sushuang frowned, and simply hugged the tall apprentice, ripped off the cloak and surrounded him.

yes, that's what he wants......

Song Guanqiong also wrapped his arms around her, resting his head on his master's shoulder without hesitation, and carrying her petite body, which was comparable to himself, into his arms.

"Master......"

He muttered, feeling extremely weak.

Hearing the voice of the eldest apprentice's over-reliance, Xia Xushuang's throat moved, "Ah Ji, the Duchess of Guo punished you, are you sad?" ”

Song Guanqiong's eyes moved slightly, and he said slowly: "Yes......"

If it had been a few years earlier, I am afraid that this would have been the case.

"Don't be afraid," Xia Sushuang paused for a moment, resisted his excessive strength when he hugged himself, and comforted: "Master protects you, and you will not be bullied again in the future." ”

"Well, Master protects me."

With that, he buried his face in her neck.

The tip of the cold nose poked into his neck, Xia Sushuang woke up, and stroked his back with his hand.

The person in his arms had not yet recovered, and Xia Sushuang remembered a set of spitting techniques taught by his master, Bai Qishanren.

That was when he traveled around the Northland and lacked food and clothing, and he realized that he could gradually warm his body between vomiting.

She doesn't use it skillfully, it's really effective, it's just that the heat is there and the heat is not, but it can also slowly warm up the bodies of two people.

By the time Song Guanqiong found out that he had warmed up, Xia Sushuang was already tired.

He loosened his embrace, "Master? ”

"Well, don't talk, it'll be warm in a while."

"It's all right."

I didn't want my master to do this, Song Guanqiong grabbed her arm and slightly distanced the two of them.

Xia Sushuang was so tired that he was sleepy, and his head was resting on the apprentice's shoulder, and then he didn't know what he said.

By the apprentice's side, she was unguarded.

Song Guanqiong's chin rubbed against the top of her hair and lifted her horizontally.

Hearing footsteps coming from upstairs, he looked up near the water.

Shizi walked down with a person in his arms, and the hood of the cloak was decorated with a circle of white velvet to cover his face, but both of them knew who Shizi was carrying.

Jin Shui followed behind the son, and at this moment, he saw the master's eyes looking at the female master, and he was no longer covetous, so he hurriedly lowered his eyes.

How long can this mind be hidden in front of the female master?
