Conspiracy

Chapter 272 Trial and Error Life [Indulgence]

The wind swayed gently, and inside the narrow hull, through the light veil, two veiled women could be vaguely seen drinking tea and playing chess.And the two girls at the bow, one is sitting on the bow with a pipa in his arms, the other is sitting cross-legged on a futon, a Jiaoweiqin is placed on her lap.

The river water was sparkling, but Shang Jingyao seemed to have walked into the painting in person.She obviously couldn't hear the girls' piano sounds, and couldn't hear their croons and smiles, but she seemed to be in the scene and could feel their voices and smiles.

Steal half a day of leisure in the floating life, and return to the countryside in a chic and unrestrained way.Among the mountains and rivers, the time is sleepy, the fragrance of tea is curling up, and the spring water of the mountain stream is sweet.

"Xian'er, you look so fascinated, but do you miss them?"

Shang Jingyao opened and closed her cherry lips, pointed to the four women in the painting and asked, "Who are they?"

"Have you forgotten? They are your older sisters?!" Su Zhen reached out and touched her forehead, "Could it be that she bumped her head when she went out? Let's go down the mountain to see the doctor later."

"No, I'm fine! I actually want to know, who owns this piano and pipa?"

"These...these are the dowry your sister gave you." Su Zhen hesitated, obviously hiding something.

dowry?Whether it is a lone book or painting in this house, or Jiaoweiqin and pipa, just looking at their family background, it is absolutely impossible for them to afford it.

"I, I want to go back and see my parents? Is that possible?" Shang Jingyao asked in a low voice.

"Of course, come on, you take a rest first, I'll make you stew fish soup to replenish your body."

Shang Jingyao stirred up her skirt with her right hand, and sat on the soft couch awkwardly, her ears were burning, "Thank you."

Su Zhen looked at Shang Jingyao with strange eyes, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"Well what are you laughing at?"

"The lady used to be squeamish and domineering, but today she seems to be a different person."

"Really? Is that good or bad?"

Su Zhen was stunned, and she couldn't help laughing, "It's very good that my lady is like this."

After finishing speaking, Su Zhen walked out.

Listening to the sounds outside, Shang Jingyao got up hurriedly and walked towards the painting again. She couldn't help reaching out to touch it, but when she was about to touch it, she withdrew her hand like an electric shock.

Carefully wandering around the room a few times, although she forgot who she is, she is not stupid.Along the way, the level of food and clothing of the villagers has far exceeded the boundaries that ordinary people should have.

When she stepped out of the threshold, she smelled a fragrance, swallowed her saliva lightly and rubbed her dry stomach, "Mr. Su"

As soon as the call came out, Su Zhen in a white robe rolled up her sleeves and was sitting on a stake chopping firewood.Suddenly, a vigorous young man flashed in front of his eyes, holding a black ancient Xun, standing proudly in the air overlooking everything.

"Huh, Xian'er? Why did you come out?"

"For some reason, I always feel that my heart is blocked."

"Could it be that I haven't seen you for a while, the lady misses me?"

The smile on Su Zhen's lips was very real, and the tenderness and admiration in her eyes were so strong that she could hardly melt away.

Shang Jingyao, who is deeply in love, has already instinctively ignored the suspicious things at this moment. Hearing the laughter of the villagers passing by outside the farmyard, the peaceful and peaceful scene made her unwilling to search for the truth.

The resistance is gradually subsiding, and I am even blinded by the beauty in front of me.

Shang Jingyao sat in front of the stone table and watched Su Zhen chopping firewood quietly, resting her chin on the back of her hands, carefully looking at the perfect facial features.Especially when Su Zhen raised her eyebrows and smiled at her, she felt that the beauty of the four seasons in the world was not as good as the person in front of her.

"Master Su, I seem to remember you."

Su Zhen's smile froze for a while, and then she returned to normal, and said teasingly, "Don't think that you can stop seeing a doctor and take medicine just by talking nonsense."

With a casual throw, the wooden stake was thrown firmly on the wooden pier, the movement of the hand became heavier, the ax fell, and with a 'click', the wooden stake was split into two pieces from the middle and fell to the ground, repeating this over and over again.

Shang Jingyao's skillful movements fell into Shang Jingyao's eyes, maybe beauty is in the eyes of lovers, even though she was chopping firewood, she still felt that Su Zhen was different from the woodcutters in the mountains, with such a transparent and clear temperament, how could she be willing to hide in the mountains?

"I didn't lie to you! I'm really impressed, I remember you can blow the xun!"

"When I was young, I used to learn how to play the xun from my husband for a few days, but I was disgusted by him. Not only the neighbors couldn't bear it, but even my mother came to persuade me to give up."

"Then what else have you learned?"

"Kick Cuju."

"This sounds good!"

Su Zhen smiled wryly and said, "But we overplayed it, put Cuju aside and started fighting, and finally each brought a bunch of mud balls back to each house, thinking of drying them up before fighting again! Who ever wanted to forget Cuju I didn’t take it home with me in the back of my head, and since then, my father never let me play cuju again.”

Seeing his distressed appearance, Shang Jingyao suppressed her laughter, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably, "Then besides this, is there anything else?"

"Carve a figure out of radish."

"Well, this one is simpler, Mr. must have praised you this time."

Su Zhen shook her head, "Sir said the flower I carved resembled the head of a broom star."

"Huh? Broom star?"

"Yeah, it's still a broom star with a chicken nest head on it."

The woman was supposed to smile without showing her teeth, but Shang Jingyao smiled very heartily, and later she heard a lot of 'past events' from Su Zhen.

When she heard the sound of boiling water coming from the kitchen, Su Zhen put down the axe, went to work in the small kitchen, and soon brought out the stewed fish soup.

The two sat in front of the square stone table in the small courtyard, covered by greenery above their heads, and the summer insects and cicadas chirping in their ears.

Shang Jingyao scooped up a spoonful of it and tasted it, but her movements stopped suddenly.

"How does it taste? Is it delicious?"

Su Zhen's eyes at this moment are very similar to those of children 'begging for praise' in front of their mothers, Shang Jingyao swallowed the soup with difficulty, "It seems a bit sweet."

Su Zhen gave an 'hmm' in surprise, took a sip and almost spat out, "Maybe I mixed up salt and sugar, wait a minute, I'll do it again."

Shang Jingyao was inexplicably happy, when she looked up and saw her bowl was taken away, she was startled and wanted to grab Su Zhen's hand.However, a half-step mistake caused her to accidentally grab Su Zhen's sleeve, and the sleeve caught the edge of the square stone table. Accompanied by the long "stabbing" sound of the clothes shattering, both of them froze in embarrassment.

"Isn't it inappropriate for a lady to act like this in broad daylight?" Su Zhen hung the ripped sleeves back on her body, and spoke first, deliberately teasing to resolve the embarrassing atmosphere.

"Ah, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I just want to tell you that I think it's quite delicious! You don't have to take it away!"

Shang Jingyao held up the porcelain bowl with both hands, drank the fish soup in the bowl with a 'gudong gudong', and looked at Su Zhen with a sweet smile.

Su Zhen looked at her with a funny face, shook her head helplessly, sat down again, picked out the fishbone for her, and put it on the plate in front of her.

Shang Jingyao suddenly had an illusion that everything she was going through now seemed to be the day she dreamed of, full of satisfaction and ease.

"Master Su, have we known each other for a long time?"
