Chapter 81 Why not pledge yourself to me?

In Hanzhou, thousands of miles away from Wancheng, a young man squatted by the river and carefully washed the things in his hands by the moonlight. The blood had dried and penetrated into the hollow of the jade pendant.

But he was patient and gentle.

Even though he was in a sorry state, the jade pendant in his hand gradually regained its original luster.

'Brother, today is your crowning ceremony. I have nothing precious to give you. I went to Jifu Temple to get this jade pendant consecrated by the presiding master. It will definitely bless my brother to win the first prize in the Toad Palace in this scientific examination and be named on the gold list. '

Thinking of the little girl's smiling eyes and the jade pendant she gave away with both hands, he couldn't bear to see it stained with the dirt of this world.

She was the bright moon, something he couldn't ask for. How dare he contaminate her with such dirty thoughts.

But Mingyue was locked in the deep palace, and he almost died in the hands of King Rui.

"Yingying."

He looked at the image reflected in the river. His beard was unkempt, his hair was messy, and his body was covered in blood and mud. There was nowhere to look like before.

If he hadn't endured his nausea and stayed among the dead for a day and a night, he wouldn't have been able to escape.

The rotten smell of death still permeated his chest.

Cui Xu couldn't hold it back any longer and vomited. Unfortunately, he hadn't eaten for two days and there was only sour water in his stomach.

As the world turned around, he fell completely to the ground, holding tightly the half of the jade pendant that he had washed clean in his hand. He didn't want to let go, and he didn't dare to let go. Even if he was just a brother, he didn't want her to be unhappy in her life.

"Sir, there is someone here!"

"Hey, it stinks so much. Don't worry about it. Let's go."

The crisp young man's voice gradually faded away, but soon it was close enough to fall into Cui Xu's ears: "Forget it, just think of me as doing one good deed every day, and you don't want to die."

"Many, thank you."

This was the first sentence he spoke in two days. His voice was as hoarse as an old man's, and then he fell unconscious again.

Three days later, Cui Xu woke up deeply. When he opened his eyes, he saw an elegant and clean room. He looked around and could smell the faint scent of tea, mixed with some medicinal herbs, which seemed to calm people's hearts.

The door was pushed open with a creak, and he turned his head to look warily. The girl was wearing lavender clothes, with strings of beads hanging from her sleeves. She saw Cui Xu waking up, and looked at her blankly. Poof A burst of laughter.

"What? Are you fascinated?"

Shen Huajiao stepped forward and put the medicine she was holding on the table, walked up to him, and unexpectedly reached out to hold his hand: "It's much better. The medicine prepared this time is much better. I thought you were going to die. "

After checking her pulse, she let go, and Cui Xu discovered that she was a famous doctor.

"I haven't asked you your name yet, what is your name?"

She sat aside, and Cui Xu avoided her curious gaze and replied in a deep voice: "Meng Xu."

He did not tell her his real name, and now the name Cui Xu is a dead person.

"My surname is Meng. There seems to be no such common surname in Hanzhou. Looking at the way you passed out by the river, are you being chased by your enemies?"

Shen Huajiao asked questions, but Cui Xu did not answer. After she finished speaking, he stretched out his hands and bowed: "Thank you very much, girl, for saving my life. Meng will hold the grass as a ring."

"Wearing grass as a ring? I don't need it, but I am indeed your savior. If you really want to repay the grace of saving your life."

She paused and suddenly opened her eyes: "How about I promise you my life?" This sentence was really shocking. Cui Xu suddenly raised his head, and Shen Huajiao smiled even deeper: "If you are hunted down, I can protect you." You, but the prerequisite is that you must be my, Shen Huajiao's man."

When this name came out, Cui Xu was also shocked. The Shen family, the most famous family in Hanzhou, was one of the seven surnames. However, the Shen family now only has one legitimate daughter named Huajiao.

There are countless people who want to marry Shen Huajiao, so why would she bother looking for a husband of unknown origin here?
"I didn't fall in love with you at first sight. My grandfather said that either I can find a husband within a year and pass the test of the Shen family, or I will marry the grandson of his student."

"That man is good-looking, but he only knows the words of saints all day long. Master said, this ceremony, that ceremony, the strictness is so annoying, it makes my head spin. I don't want to marry him. Now we have a year's appointment There are only two months left, where can I find a man?”

After Shen Huajiao finished speaking, she clasped her hands and approached Cui Xu: "What a coincidence, I was on a medical visit last night and I happened to pick you up~"

"How can a marriage be a trivial matter? Please think twice, Miss Shen. I already have my heart."

Cui Xu rejected her proposal. He needed a place to stay, but he couldn't marry Shen Hua in a daze.

"Oh~ I belong to my heart."

She drawled her voice, and suddenly stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him. The long rope of the half jade pendant was wrapped around her hand to prevent it from falling, and the jade pendant was dangling in front of his eyes.

"you!"

Cui Xu reached out to take it, and Shen Huajiao leaned back and said, "Just one year will do. I will give you a divorce letter then. From now on, marriage between men and women has nothing to do with each other. I saw many people interrogating Hanzhou today. The one who isn’t looking for you is you, right?”

Shen Huajiao pretended to be surprised and took the jade pendant into her palm. Cui Xu frowned but still did not let go.

"After the matter is completed, I will send you away from Hanzhou. It's okay. I can promise you three conditions. As long as it's not something outrageous or harmful to the Shen family, I will help you."

This is the extent of her sincerity. If he continues to disagree, he will be a bit ignorant.

Shen Huajiao coughed lightly, but when he saw that he still didn't open his mouth, she was about to say something more when she heard the word "good".

"You agreed?!"

Cui Xu hummed, and Shen Huajiao couldn't hide her smile: "I'm going to draw up a contract right now."

"Give me back the jade pendant."

He called out to her, and Shen Hua snorted and said, "I will pay you back in one year, and I will take good care of it for you, husband~"

She said with a smile and hurried out.

Cui Xu rested his head on the bed. Now it seems that staying in Hanzhou is the safest. After all, Hanzhou is the territory of the Shen family. With Shen Hua's protection, he can spend this period of time safely.

He can also take this opportunity to climb into the Shen family. If he wants Yingying to have no relationship with Chu Yan anymore, he must have the power in his hands.

He lowered his eyes and looked at his hands that were cut by the porcelain shards. These hands that were once able to write honest articles in the world could no longer write anything in the future. What he despised the most was now what he wanted the most.

"Miss, are you planning to take him back like this?"

The voice of the little maid outside was a bit sad. Shen Hua shook the contract in his hand and said, "I didn't expect him to look so good after cleaning. And the one-year appointment is coming soon. If I can't find him, I really have to marry Tian Boyuan."

Thinking of that nerd's confused look, Shen Huajiao shuddered.

Well, even though she said very little, she didn't know why, but she didn't feel bored at all after just one glance.

Cui Xu listened to her words, clenched his hands tighter, and looked at the clean clothes on his body, washed them? Who washed him? Her?
 Testing each other step by step.
