Crown Jewels

Chapter 174

The two were very close, and at the moment when Song Yan's heart was lost, the breath sprayed on the young man's cheeks disappeared, and Gu Baozhu's approaching cheek suddenly turned around, his eyes were full of bright and teasing smiles, and he squeezed the roots between his fingers. Grass crumbs, looked at the young man with a smile in his eyes.

"You've got grass clippings in your hair—"

Suddenly opened the distance, causing the boy to raise his eyebrows, and he couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or hard to bear. The obvious teasing and blatant teasing in the woman's clear eyes were also in her bright smile. He snorted a laugh.

The pride in the woman's eyes seemed to make her feel uncomfortable with the black horse under her crotch. The horse's tail Qingyang suddenly became petulant, and knelt down on the front hooves of the stream, splashes of water splashed onto the skirt of the woman's skirt .

The sudden swaying of the horse's back caught Gu Baozhu off guard, and along with it, her body also leaned forward with the horse, her center of gravity was unsteady in the panic, her hands subconsciously grabbed the boy's wrist, and shouted Song Yan's name in a panic.

Gu Baozhu's body leaned forward due to inertia, Song Yan turned over and got off the horse suddenly, and grabbed the woman's slender wrist with his right hand, and at the same time put his left palm on her waist to help her stabilize her center of gravity. When the boy below faced each other, she could clearly see the lingering fear in Song Yan's eyes that had not faded away.

Breathing gradually calmed down, just when the black horse convulsed again, its front hooves kneeling on the ground suddenly lifted up, and it was about to raise its head high. The left hand stabilized her body, and the right arm supported the woman's wrist. When Gu Baozhu reacted, his legs were already submerged in the water.

The water was cold in autumn, and the woman shivered for a moment. Seeing this, Song Yan didn't say much, and suddenly carried Gu Baozhu away, with his left arm stuck between her legs and knees, and led him through the cool water stream, leaving him alone. The black horse is jubilant in the water stream.

The moment her legs stepped on the ground, Gu Baozhu's knees softened, and Song Yan simply did not let go of her waist, so she used her strength to digest the lingering fear just now, and the splash of water wet the woman's clothes. At this moment, the wet clothes stick to the skin, outlining the woman's slim figure.

Song Yan supported Gu Baozhu's arm, and looked away from the front of the woman's skirt like a fire, and fell on Gu Baozhu's face. Caressing the front lapel, gasping for breath.

The young man raised his eyebrows, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to brush the woman's sticky wet hair behind her ears, exposing the white and delicate earlobes. Song Yan only felt that the moment his fingers brushed her cheek, the woman's figure trembled, and then two People's eyes meet again.

This time, the woman's eyes were no longer ridiculed and ridiculed, but she was stunned, as if she hadn't arrived, and her eyes seemed to have changed, and no one moved away first.

Different from the usual Mingyan, Gu Baozhu's face now showed a bit of broken distress, but it was still amazingly good-looking. The young man's Adam's apple rolled subconsciously, and the thoughts buried deep in his heart suddenly took root and sprouted, as if urging While shouting, Song Yan's eyes flickered, and suddenly he reached out again and brushed the woman's side cheek, and touched Gu Baozhu's forehead with his lips.

The young man's movements were very light, and he left with the slightest touch. Gu Baozhu felt as if a light feather was floating across his forehead, which made people feel itchy. The moment Song Yan stood up straight and left, the woman coughed lightly in the stream. , The tone is also impregnated with a clear and chilly tone.

"Song Yan—"

"If not, teach me how to ride a horse again!"

This is the second time that Gu Baozhu begged Song Yan to teach her how to ride a horse. This time her tone was calm, as if trying to divert her attention, but it was not as stiff as when Zhuangzi asked Song Yan to teach her how to ride a horse last time.

"also--"

The boy's chest vibrated, and he hummed a smile from his nasal cavity. His voice was lazy and unrestrained, floating in the mountain stream, accompanied by the stream of water and the sound of horses' hooves. Although it was loose, it was firm.

……

In the streets and alleys of the Chang'an County Government Office, there is a stray dog ​​guarding his territory.Within a square inch of land, the sun couldn't shine in, and the shadows shrouded the young man's face, showing a bit of panic and tension.

"Miss Shen, I'm sorry, I just said nonsense, don't take it to heart."

The content of the words seemed random, from the young man's slightly clenched right fist under his sleeve, and the remorse in his eyes, it was known that his heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

Fu Sinian smiled lightly, looked outside the street, and said casually:
"Just now I finally sent Miss Lemei back to the Song Mansion successfully. Ms. Shen probably didn't know about it. The brat looked childish and innocent, but in fact he was very clever. This is the reason why Ms. Shen and I separated from his brother— —”

"Fu Sinian!"

Before the word "control" could be uttered, it was interrupted by the cold and clear words of the woman. The smile on the young man's face froze, and the light in his eyes dimmed.

"Fu Sinian, I'm sorry—"

Shen Lanqing's tone was light but firm, and she looked at Fu Sinian apologetically.

"Miss Shen, what are you doing?"

The crouching stray dog's eyes were cloudy, and it stared blankly at the men and women occupying the magpie's nest. The embarrassing atmosphere made the dog's head twitch anxiously.

Fu Sinian smiled wryly in his heart, but scratched his head in embarrassment on his face, he looked like a big boy when he was rejected, he grinned straightforwardly and tried his best, not wanting to make the woman opposite him feel embarrassed or unhappy.

"Miss Shen, just pretend that I haven't said anything today! If Fu is needed in the future, I hope Miss Shen will not forget me as a friend."

The boy lowered his head, his voice was cheering up, and he scratched his head and smiled as usual.

"Then I will send Shen—"

"Fu Sinian—"

The boy's words were interrupted again, and his eyes fell on Shen Lanqing's hesitant face, as if he had a premonition of something, a trace of panic flashed in the bottom of his eyes, and a thought flashed in his heart, as if it really made Shen Lanqing say the next thing, There was no possibility of him pestering her cheekily.

However, Fu Sinian hurriedly wanted to turn the subject off, but Shen Lanqing's voice sounded again, her tone was still very light, but she did not allow Fu Sinian to refuse, the woman pursed her lips and did not look at Fu Sinian, she just stared at the broken stones under her feet.

"Fu Sinian—"

"Sorry! I never thought about what you just said!"

Shen Lanqing's words made the normally cheerful young man smile bitterly. After all, he was still reckless today, and he shouldn't have said such things to her.

"I--"

"Actually, you know me. I want to do something for myself in the imperial examination. This road is very difficult. The wife of an ordinary family's back house is not allowed to do this, and I can't do it for the fetters. Marriage, but give up what I have insisted on for so many years."

"I also clearly understand that if I want to go on in the long run on the road I chose, I will definitely focus on the imperial examination and not let external chores distract me."

Shen Lanqing's hands hanging in her sleeves were a little weak, and she didn't say the last words in her heart.

This is the price that a woman must bear if she wants to make a career in this dynasty!
And... Shen Lanqing's hands trembled, she felt that Fu Sinian, such a cheerful and sunny boy, deserved... a better person.

Instead of... her like this!

Shen Lanqing's words made Fu Sinian frown, her attitude was very serious, if she was still as indifferent as before, perhaps in her heart, she had already accepted the result of what she told herself.
