carved heart

Chapter 39
Under the moonlight, the misty eyes in the past seem to gradually push away the mist, revealing a soft corner.

"Remember?"

She nodded lightly.

When going down, Shen Changtang walked in front and Ah Yin walked behind.

His people are waiting in the mountains.

As he approached, he saw some people holding lanterns and saluted one after another.Ah Yin took a closer look and found that Tiger Eye and Tiger Fist were also there. Both of them had blue noses and swollen eyes, and their heads were drooping, not daring to speak.

Shen Changtang stood still.

Yan Shen came out and said, "My Lord, Tiger Eye and Tiger Fist are considered talented, and my subordinates have already trained them."

Tiger Eye and Tiger Fist followed suit, bowing on their knees: "Many... Thank you, Lord Hou, for your enlightenment."

Shen Changtang said: "You don't need to be too polite, just get up." As soon as they stood up, Shen Changtang's voice became serious again: "This Marquis cannot tolerate a second mistake, this time it will be a trial."

The two of them knelt down again in fright.

At this time, Shen Changtang said kindly again: "This Marquis asked Chen Dou to stay in Gongcheng. If you don't understand, you can ask Chen Dou."

The two were flattered and thanked each other again.

Ah Yin was a little dazed, Shen Changtang looked over again, and said, "I know you don't like people around me, but the people around you are not vigilant enough, and their skills are average. Two, if you encounter a premeditated killer, you will definitely not be able to handle it. I will let Chen Dou come back when the two of them can be alone."

"Thank you sir."

Shen Changtang asked: "Aren't you scolding Benhou in your heart?"

Yan Shen knew that it was very interesting, and immediately led a group of people back to the distance without making a sound.

Ah Yin coughed lightly: "No." She hesitated slightly, and then asked: "Master Hou, but someone is following Ah Yin?" Shen Changtang looked at her appreciatively, and said: "Not yet, but it's hard to say in the future."

Ah Yin explained: "I really didn't scold Lord Hou in my heart just now."

She spoke in a hurry, her eyelashes fluttered like fluttering butterfly wings, and the bright moonlight fell on her forehead, making her plump and fair.He stared at it for a while, resisted the urge to touch, turned around, and said calmly: "This Marquis knows."

At this time, Yan Shen hurried over and reported: "Master Hou, Eunuch Deng from the palace has come to Suizhou."

Shen Changtang was slightly surprised, and after pondering for a moment, he only asked, "Where is Mr. Deng?"

"If you go back to Lord Hou, you are on your way to Gongcheng."

Shen Changtang's complexion changed slightly, and he said, "Go ahead and go to Yuejiang City immediately. Has the matter here been dealt with?"

Yan Shen looked at Ah Yin, and said, "It's done, all traces have been erased."

Shen Changtang nodded.

After a while, Yan Shen came over again and said, "Report to Lord Marquis, you can start your journey." As if thinking of something, Shen Changtang looked at A Yin, and said: "This place is not far from Gongcheng, let's take her back first. .”

Yan Shen said: "Eunuch Deng..."

"Send someone to drag it."

"Yes."

Ah Yin said: "Master Hou, I can stay at Fahua Temple for one night, and I will go back tomorrow. With Tiger Eyes and Tiger Fist, and Chen Dou here, there shouldn't be any accidents."

Shen Changtang disagreed, and only said: "Get in the car."

Ah Yin had no choice but to get on the carriage.

When Cai Yanshen mentioned the word Deng Gonggong, Shen Changtang seemed a little apprehensive.

The carriage gradually drove towards Gongcheng.

Shen Changtang said again: "Eunuch Deng is the chief executive, he has served the emperor for two consecutive dynasties, he is a fine man." After hearing this, Ah Yin asked curiously: "Master, you seem to be a little afraid of that Eunuch Deng?"

"This time he was able to come to Suizhou, he must have obeyed the Holy Majesty's will. At the beginning of the new emperor's ascension, the regime has not yet stabilized, and it is easy to be suspicious."

In the last ten short words, the bloodiness of the past can already be seen.He chose this gentle way to say it, presumably because he was worried about her.Shen Changtang tonight was different from before, as if he was also affected by the moonlight and became gentler.

Her heart moved slightly.

At this time, Shen Changtang said again: "You don't need to know too much about these things, you just need to know enough, and the rest will be settled. I will come back in a month and a half. Before that, stay away from all the gentlemen." , especially Xie’s little one.”

I thought he was a little softer before, but he really didn't change his domineering nature.

However, Shen Changtang's concession has already made Ah Yin very happy, she nodded readily and said: "I listen to Lord Hou." When the words fell, she saw Shen Changtang looking directly at her lips, recalling the previous encounter in the carriage , with reddish ears, and tilted his head uncomfortably.

Soon, Shen Changtang's voice came from over there.

"Say it again."

A Yin was stunned for a moment, and asked: "What more?"

"That sentence you just said."

"I listen to Master Hou?" she asked.

He nodded and said "hmm".Ah Yin said it again, and found that Shen Changtang's gaze became deeper again.She tried to say it again, this time she was finally sure that Mu Yanghou liked what she said, and it was not that he didn't hear clearly.

He said happily again: "Say it again."

Ah Yin said it again, and after saying it a dozen times, he still didn't get tired of it.She asked, "Master Hou likes what I say so much?"

Shen Changtang said, "Do you know why this Marquis has to send you back to Gongcheng?"

Ah Yin wanted to answer that he was worried about her, but felt a little embarrassed to say it, so he said: "A Yin is stupid, and can't figure out what Lord Hou is thinking."

He said hoarsely: "I want to hear you call me Lord Hou a few more times."

As soon as Ah Yin heard this, the blush from his ears crept up to his neck, obviously he didn't touch her, and he wasn't even close to her, but when he said these words in such a serious manner, there was a sudden thud in his chest. fast.

At this time, a deep voice came from outside the carriage.

"Lord Hou, we're here."

The carriage also gradually stopped.

Ah Yin bowed to Shen Changtang and was about to leave.Unexpectedly, just as she turned around, before her hand touched the car door, there was a sudden force behind her, her waist felt hot, an arm was tightly wrapped around her, she staggered, and she fell into his arms.

He whispered in her ear: "Benhou's words, start counting tomorrow."

"you……"

"Just let me give you a hug, give me a hug." His voice was soft and soft, and there was so much longing in his tone.All of a sudden, Ah Yin's heart softened.As expected, she took the soft but not the hard.As soon as he softened, her heart also softened.

She didn't move, and she relaxed.

Shen Changtang hugged her waist even harder, the person in his arms was so soft and fragrant, even the drooping black hair was so pitiful, it seemed that he couldn't hug her enough.

He liked the smell of her body very much, buried his head in her neck, and his breathing made her itchy.

She couldn't help laughing and said, "Itches..."

He asked, "Where is it itching?"

She said, "It's just itching..." As soon as he spoke, it became even more itchy, and the heat and humidity spread. She twisted her body and said, "Don't talk..." Suddenly, the person behind her tensed up.

The gilt round lamp at the corner of the carriage crackled, and the candle light trembled slightly.

The sound of breathing behind him gradually became heavier.

The hand on the waist was hot and hot, like a soldering iron.

Ah Yin was no stranger to such a situation, she knew that Shen Changtang was ill.Without turning her head, she also knew that his face must be full of thick and big veins at this moment.She swallowed, not daring to move.

The hands on her waist became tighter and tighter, and she felt that her bones were about to be crushed.

"Hou... Lord Hou..."

His voice was hoarse: "Don't move, don't talk..." Her voice made the restlessness in his heart worse.She immediately fell silent.But it didn't seem to have any effect. The lights at night were dim, and his facial features could clearly feel the person in his arms.

Although she didn't speak, the fragrance from her body penetrated everywhere, penetrated into his nose and into his heart.

The arms on his body were suddenly released, and Ah Yin was pushed violently, almost hitting the wall of the car.

Shen Changtang panted heavily, and said in a depressed voice, "Get out of the car."

A Yin raised his eyes and saw that Shen Changtang, who was leaning against the wall of the car, was extremely pale and painful, with blue veins as thick as thumbs, one left and one right on his face, extremely hostile.She swallowed, and Shen Changtang glared fiercely.

"Go down!"

A Yin gritted his teeth, turned and opened the car door.But as soon as her hand touched the car door, she couldn't help but look back, and saw Shen Changtang's eyes were closed, his teeth were clenched, the veins seemed to swim away, making him gasp for breath.

Shen Changtang's hand has already touched the blood-drinking whip.

When he returned to Gongcheng, he had already made this plan.The medicine man who serves the sick should also be available.If it was usual, he would smoke first before talking.But with her here today, he didn't want her to see such a bloody scene.

Thinking of Ah Yin, and uncontrollably thinking of the sweetness in her lips, it is much happier than being whipped.

The car door has not been opened for a long time.

The torment of the strange disease has already made Shen Changtang lose [-]% of his sanity, and he will not know for a while whether A Yin has left or not.

Suddenly, a familiar aroma penetrated into the nostrils.

A soft lip came up.

He opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was Ah Yin's extremely nervous expression.She didn't move, her eyes were closed, like a plate of food waiting for luck, it was placed in front of him so quietly and thoroughly.

At the moment, all patience turns into nothingness.

The phantoms and yells just now appeared unscrupulously.

Yan Shen and Yan Mo waited outside.The handover carriage was also outside, Tiger Eye and Tiger Fist had been greatly stimulated tonight, and they were waiting respectfully outside the other carriage, waiting for Ah Yin to get on the carriage.

However, after a quarter of an hour, there was no sound of the carriage.

Yan Shen and Yan Mo exchanged glances, neither of them dared to step forward to urge them.After another quarter of an hour, the person who went to hold Eunuch Deng back came back and said, "Eunuch Deng is a little impatient after delaying for an hour."

Yan Shen coughed lightly, and when he was about to urge him, there was a moderate groan from the carriage.

The voice stopped abruptly.

Yan Shen changed his tune and said, "You stay, I'll hold Eunuch Deng back."

The two people in the carriage kissed until their heads became hot, and they didn't hear the slightest sound from outside.

But the veins on Shen Changtang's face completely disappeared.

Ah Yin closed his eyes, not knowing.

"your face……"

All right!

Seeing this, Shen Changtang felt a little pity, and finally pecked and kissed lightly, Fang took it back reluctantly, and said without changing his expression: "Well, it's better now."

Ah Yin wanted to leave his leg, but was hugged tightly by him.

She didn't move either, she just blushed slightly and said, "I did it because..."

Before explaining the word Shiji, Shen Changtang interrupted: "I am very happy that you are willing to take the initiative to kiss me."

He said the word "pro" in a particularly hoarse and deep voice.

Ah Yin bangs, blushing.

When Ah Yin returned home, it was already the second watch.

Mu Yanghou used his token to send Ah Yin back to Gongcheng, and Ah Yin returned home quietly.She did not disturb Qin Weng who was guarding the gate, but entered through the back door.If Qin Weng was alarmed, his father and mother would know about it the next day.

When she returned to the room, she saw that Jiang Xuan hadn't fallen asleep yet, sitting at the table embroidering a handkerchief.

Only a copper lamp was lit on the table.

She threaded the needle, and soon a red plum was added to the handkerchief.

"Why hasn't my sister slept yet? Why didn't the embroidered handkerchief add a few more lights? Don't tire your eyes, it's not like before, and don't save money on lamp oil. If your sister's eyes are tired, how much should your sister do?" It hurts."

Ah Yin sat down opposite Jiang Xuan, looked at her handkerchief, suddenly said "huh", and then said: "Could it be for the Chinese silk shop?"

Jiang Xuan nodded.

Ah Yin said softly: "Why do you still embroider patterns for the Huasi shop?" She knew that Ah Xuan didn't like embroidery patterns very much. After embroidering for a long time, her fingers developed calluses and her joints were prone to pain. In the past, it was for making a living and subsidizing the family. , but now there is no shortage of money in the family.Ah Yin said: "If you like female celebrities, your sister will not stop you. It is not easy to do what you like in life. But now that you don't need your sister to subsidize the family, how can your sister return to embroidery? If you want Use money, tell my sister, no matter how much money you have, she will find a way to get it for you."

Jiang Xuan's eyes turned red immediately, tears fell patter, and he said intermittently, "How could Marquis Mu Yang treat my sister like this?"

Hearing this, Ah Yin couldn't help being startled, after careful questioning, he found out that Shen Changtang had sent Chen Dou to inform Ah Xuan, Ah Xuan asked Chen Dou, and Chen Dou said that Mu Yanghou would come to Gongcheng from time to time.

"... How can my sister be someone's concubine? She doesn't even have a title!"

Ah Yin is a bit distressed, judging from the current situation, she is indeed like Mu Yanghou's concubine.She patted Jiang Xuan lightly, wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and then said softly: "Silly Ah Xuan, why are you crying? You should be happy for me. Think about it, if Master Hou really takes me there After leaving Yongping, I stay in Yongping no matter whether I am a wife or a concubine, but I can't carve cores openly. Besides, we have no family background. Life in Yongping must be so difficult. Now the Lord Hou agrees. He gave up on me, made a concession, and is willing to let me continue to carve cores, and he will come to see me from time to time."

She bent her eyebrows and smiled: "Half a year ago, what we were looking forward to most was to get rid of the shackles of our family, and to be able to carve cores freely? And now that I have won the leader, there will be no shortage of silver taels in the future. The Marquis also promised me, no Let other people know what happened between us. If one day he gets tired of me, I can still get out. You say, isn’t this a great thing? We have been looking forward to such a day, and now it has finally come. "

"But..." Jiang Xuan hesitated slightly.

Ah Yin asked, "But what?"

Jiang Xuan looked at her: "Does my sister really like Mu Yanghou?" If you really like someone, why don't you want to stay with that person?How could he not want to open his eyes and close his eyes?
Ah Yin patted the back of her hand lightly, and said, "The word love is hard to say."

Jiang Xuan said angrily, "Sister!"

A Yin smiled, and said: "I really didn't hide it from you, it's really hard to say." She thought he was annoyed to her, after all, she swept away his dignity so mercilessly, but he still came back, unexpectedly Concessions were made to her.At first, she thought it was just his tactic of retreating to advance, maybe making a concession at this time would make her fall into the abyss tomorrow, what really convinced her was that he had a strange attack on the carriage, obviously so painful, but he really complied promised.

She was thinking then, maybe he was serious.

Seeing that Ah Xuan had to ask for a clear explanation, she had no choice but to say: "It's just that it hasn't reached the level where it can surpass the nuclear carving..."

When Jiang Xuan heard this, she was distressed again, thinking that there is really a man in this world that my sister likes more than He Diao?She murmured, "One day the nuclei carving will become fine, I'm afraid my sister will abandon Lord Hou..."

"You actually made fun of your sister!"

She pretended to knock her on the head, and the two sisters made a fuss.After playing around for a while, Jiang Xuan suddenly said: "Actually... I am very reluctant to let my sister go to Yongping. When I heard it, I felt extremely uncomfortable."

Hearing this, Ah Yin felt a little uncomfortable.

"I also hate my sister."

It was also at this time that Ah Yin made a decision.

The next day, Ah Yin sent Fan Haohe to deliver invitations to Yuan Hong, and they made an appointment to meet at the tea shop last time.The last time Yuan Hong bought the entire tea shop, Ah Yin didn't have such financial resources at present, so he only asked Xiaoer to prepare the best private room in the tea shop, and ordered a pot of good tea and some fruits.

A Yin made an appointment at noon.

However, after noon, Yuan Hong did not arrive.Ah Yin only thought that Yuan Hong was delayed by something, and he didn't care about it, but he was afraid that the tea would be cold, so he called Xiao Er to cook the tea again.As a result, after an entire hour, Yuan Hong still hadn't arrived.

Ah Yin sent Fan Haohe to inquire, and after half an hour, Fan Haohe came back, and Shangguan Shixin came back with him.

She was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Why did the young master come here?"

Fan Haohe closed the door gently and stood guard outside the private room.

Shangguan Shixin was a little anxious on the way, and he was slightly panting at this moment.Seeing this, Ah Yin poured a cup of tea, touched the cup, and said, "Almost forgot, the tea is cold. Young Master, I'll ask the villain to cook a new pot of tea."

Shangguan Shi said: "It's okay, it's all the same, I don't pay much attention to tea, as long as I can drink it, it can quench my thirst even more when it's cold." As he spoke, he straightened his neck and gulped it down.As soon as he put down the teacup, he said, "Miss Yin, Shixin is here on behalf of Uncle Yuan."

Ah Yin asked: "Come here for Uncle Yuan? Could something have happened?"

"It's not a big deal, but it's not a trivial thing either. A big man from Yongping came to our Shangguan family, and all the nuclei carvers of the Shangguan family had to be present to receive him. That's why Uncle Yuan hurriedly left Gongcheng and headed back to Suizhou Yuan Bote told me that if Miss Yin has any questions or concerns, you can tell me. Although Shixin can't accept Miss Yin as an apprentice, she can still talk to Shangguan's family. "

Ah Yin asked curiously: "There is a big man coming to Yongping, why doesn't the young master rush back?"
