carved heart

Chapter 70 Going to Yongping (3)
Can you not go?cannot!She also wanted to thank the county magistrate and Xie Shaohuai to help her lead the snake out of the cave, and she had to go to this cleansing feast.As soon as I heard this idea, I knew that Magistrate Xie didn't come up with it himself. Without Shen Changtang's instruction, Magistrate Xie dared not even say a word, not to mention the cleansing banquet!
Xie Shaohuai was overjoyed at this moment.

He proposed the idea of ​​washing the dust for Lord Hou, and Lord Hou agreed.His family held a dust-cleaning banquet for Lord Hou, and he did not know how many people would envy him if he told it.Xie Shaohuai thought for a while, although he didn't know why he came up with this idea for no reason, but it seemed that someone around Master Hou said something, and he came up with the idea of ​​cleaning the dust banquet as soon as he had an idea.

Now there are still three hours before evening, Xie Shaohuai didn't want to think too much, so he hurried to organize the cleansing banquet himself.

Of course, he didn't forget about finding the bones, and he still counted on this beautiful woman to return home.

Li Rong was also overjoyed.

She originally thought that she would not have the chance to see Mu Yanghou today, after all, it is her daughter's home, so there is no reason to take the initiative to meet him.Now the county magistrate Xie suddenly sent someone to send an invitation, saying that it was a cleansing banquet for Mu Yanghou.

When Li Rong saw it, her cheeks were slightly red.

Mrs. Shen said that Marquis Mu Yang didn't like excitement, and he went out to family banquets in the palace on weekdays, and never participated in banquets.Now that she agreed to a dust-cleaning banquet for a small county magistrate, she probably had something on her mind, right?Think she was almost in danger, so you made her lively?

Li Rong asked again: "Who else was invited to the dust-cleaning banquet?"

Tao Min replied: "There is also that female nuclear carving artist."

Li Rong frowned slightly, suddenly feeling a little disappointed.Tao Min said: "Miss Rong, with Master Hou here this time, let's see if she dares to take Joe, and whether she dares to mention any rules. Miss Rong will let her carve the core at that time."

Li Rong also felt that this was very relieved, but after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, he said again: "Master Hou praised me for being virtuous and virtuous before. She is just a technician, and it would be demeaning to care about her. There is no need for a nuclear carving skill Or damage my image in Lord Hou's heart."

Tao Min said again and again: "It's Miss Rong who thinks long-term, it's Tao Min who is negligent."

Li Rong said again: "It's just that she dared to be so arrogant. She has some abilities. It's not too late to teach her a lesson. Now the Lord should be the most important thing." In Li Rong's heart, that female nuclear carving artist must be She is a woman in her thirties and forties, and she may be born ugly, so there are such rules.

However, when Li Rongzhen saw the nuclear carving artist, he couldn't help being surprised.

It was completely different from what she had imagined. Not only was she young, but she also had an outstanding appearance. The point was that there was an indescribable elegance in her gestures.If she hadn't known in advance that there were only her and a female core carving artist among the girls who came, she might have thought it was some noble girl raised in Yongping's deep boudoir!
She was astonished.

It was also at this time that when she saw her looking over, she paused for a moment, then nodded slightly, not seeing the fear and admiration of Lady Yongping at all, as if her own identity and family background were insignificant to her .

When Shen Changtang arrived, County Magistrate Xie and Xie Shaohuai also came.They were half a step behind Shen Changtang, their expressions and attitudes were all respectful, and a little behind were Mrs. Xie and several gentlemen of the Xie family.

There are still a few girls in Xie's house, but the place of Xie's house is not too big, and the place where the dust-cleaning banquet is held can't accommodate so many people, Xie Shaohuai thought about it, and decided to give up.When he set up the seats, he also took a little thought, unlike the previous banquets, where the female relatives are on one side and the men are on the other.

Xie Shaohuai also thought for a long time about the host position. They held a cleansing banquet. The Xie family was the host, and Mu Yanghou was the guest. Originally, the host family took the host position.But Mu Yanghou is a Marquis after all, which is a little different.Xie Shaohuai thought about it, and finally left the central seat to Mu Yanghou.

On the left is the girl from the Li family in Qingzhou, and next door to the Li family is the female family member of the Xie family.

On the right is Xie Shaohuai's father, and then Xie Shaohuai.Young Master Xie harbored selfishness. Originally, Ah Yin should sit next to the Li family in Qingzhou. After thinking about it, he felt that Ah Yin is now a nuclei sculptor from the Shangguan family. When it comes to marriage, sitting by your side is also justified.

He heard that people in Yongping like to sit on the floor screen, so he specially bought five or six sitting screens, put elegant tables in front of them, set up some fruits, cakes and delicacies from Gongcheng, and counted five or six handsome maidservants. Waiting behind the screen.

After this, Xie Shaohuai was quite satisfied.

When Xie County Magistrate replied to Mu Yanghou's words, Xie Shaohuai poured wine for Ah Yin attentively, and asked her what else she wanted to eat from time to time, thus bringing up the past five years.He seemed to have long forgotten about Luo Jiao, as if the barriers between the two never existed.

He speaks well.

A Yin pretended not to hear, she frowned slightly and drank the tea, as if the present cleansing feast had nothing to do with her.Actually, it really doesn't matter.Her mind wandered to other things.

Xie Shaohuai finally found out that Ah Yin was absent-minded, and began to mention the matter of Grandfather Yin.

He said: "Old Master Yin's matter has already been established, don't worry, I will definitely arrest him as soon as possible, and give Grandfather Yin peace."

He changed his name without a trace.

"Do you have any clues?" she asked.

Xie Shaohuai said: "Yes."

"What eyebrows?"

"Yes...the suspicious person has been found!" Xie Shaohuai coughed lightly, as if he wanted to say something else, Ah Yin asked again: "How have you been these few days?" When she asked this, Xie Shaohuai suddenly had a feeling When he went back to the past, he was overjoyed and told Ah Yin what he had done in the past few days.

Looking at her from such a close distance, her skin is as white as fine white porcelain, delicate and crystal clear, without even a single pore.She looked up, her slender eyelashes trembling.

His mouth was parched immediately, and when he was about to move his position and get closer to her, County Magistrate Xie suddenly pulled him.

Xie Shaohuai came back to his senses, only to realize that Mu Yanghou on the main seat was staring at him at some point.

A pair of black pupils are deep and terrifying, not angry but majestic.

Xie Shaohuai's heart trembled.

Magistrate Xie reminded in a low voice, "Master Hou is asking you something."

Xie Shaohuai was a little dazed, his mind was on A Yin just now, he didn't hear what Mu Yanghou asked.County magistrate Xie didn't expect his son to be so distracted, so he didn't remind him.

He stood up abruptly and stared blankly at magistrate Xie.

It was only at this time that County Magistrate Xie came to his senses, and reminded him in a low voice: "Master Hou asked if you can dance swords."

Mu Yanghou said indifferently: "It's better to be alone than to be happy. If you say something interesting, share it with the people present." As soon as these words came out, Li Rong who was on the side was overjoyed. She couldn't find a reason to interrupt. Now it's delivered to your door.

She said: "Isn't the one next to Xie Xiaolang a nuclear carving artist from Shangguan's family?"

Mu Yanghou frowned slightly upon hearing the name of the nuclear carving artist from the Shangguan family.Li Rong noticed it, and couldn't help being startled, but the words had already been spoken, and there was absolutely no reason to take them back, so she paused slightly, and said: "The talk is probably related to nuclear carvings."

Xie Shaohuai accepted the step, stepped on it, and refused to move.

"Yes, yes, Shaohuai is very interested in nuclear carvings, just now I was asking Miss Yin for advice." He glanced at Ah Yin, hoping that she would explain the matter with a word, but Ah Yin was unmoved.

Li Rong asked: "What did you ask? I'm also very interested. Half a year ago, our Li family got a lot of Shangguan's nuclear carvings, all of which are very charming, and I can't put it down. Now the fan pendant is also using Shangguan's nuclear carvings... …" As she spoke, she quickly glanced at Mu Yanghou, and was slightly disappointed when she found that Mu Yanghou hadn't looked over.

How could Xie Shaohuai know so many nuclei, seeing that Ah Yin didn't answer, he could only resist by himself, stammering his words, it was horrible.

After Xie Shaohuai's embarrassment came out, Ah Yin slowly answered Li Rong's words.

When it comes to nuclear carvings, who is as good as Ah Yin?What's more, with Xie Shaohuai's comparison, when Ah Yin spoke, her voice was soft, like a bird singing in the early morning, gentle and mellow, which made Li Rong stunned.

After hearing this, she knew that Hediao also had such a great knowledge, and she was really specialized in art.

When Xie Shaohuai heard this, he couldn't help being a little angry.

Did she deliberately embarrass him?

A face is slightly gloomy.

At this time, Ah Yin coughed a few times before saying: "It is an honor for the daughters of the people to be able to attend Lord Hou's dust-cleaning banquet today, but recently there have been a lot of family affairs, and the daughters are not in good health. The girl will leave first."

Li Rong really had the guts to see Ah Yin.

The four characters of not being afraid of the rich and powerful are written on the face.

If it is placed on ordinary people, to be able to participate in the banquet of Yongping dignitaries, I am afraid that I wish I could curry favor.Even if you can't flatter, you still have to be familiar.Fortunately, the Yin family was not moved at all, and dared to leave the banquet early.

Immediately, Li Rong had the intention of competing with Ah Yin.

She looked at Mu Yanghou again.

He frowned again, but he didn't reject Yin Shi, and only nodded after a while.Ah Yin got up and bowed politely, and left the banquet.

The moon and stars are scarce outside.

Ah Yin hurriedly walked, followed by the attendants behind him.Suddenly Ah Yin stopped, looked up at the moon, took a deep breath, and continued to move forward when he exhaled.Her mood was far less calm than her appearance. She hadn't seen her for so long, and she thought she could calm down, but today she didn't even look at him, and only heard his voice. The long-lost feeling returned.

She sighed softly.

Fan Haohe asked: "What's wrong with the eldest girl?"

A Yin shook his head and said: "It's nothing, hurry back." Shen Changtang wanted to block her halfway, so he had to leave the table at this time.There were Li Rong and Xie's family blocking the banquet, so he probably didn't come out so fast.

She hurried back.

The courtyard was approaching, and Ah Yin's pace suddenly stopped.

At the door, there was an extra figure at some time, it was Shen Changtang who was at the banquet a moment ago.She was startled and stared at him blankly, but after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, she felt that her previous thoughts were too ridiculous.

Who is Shen Changtang, if he really wanted to leave the banquet, a hundred Xie family and a hundred Li Rong couldn't stop him.

She sighed secretly.

Fan Haohe looked at Shen Changtang, and at the back of his own girl, not daring to move.Leaving at this time is the best choice, but without the eldest girl's order, you can't move around.

Finally, Fan Haohe saw his eldest daughter waved to them.

Fan Haohe breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly led the people to leave.

Shen Changtang and A Yin were soon left outside the gate of the courtyard.

A Yin lowered his eyes and bowed to him: "A Yin pays homage to Lord Hou, good luck to Lord Hou."

There were two cracks on the floor, and a small bug was coming out of one of them, with two small tentacles on it, moving slowly.He said, "Why are you so unfamiliar with me?"

Ah Yin said: "Don't dare."

"Still angry with me?"

"No."

He said: "That's it." He looked at her, but suddenly said: "You are using the Xie family to find someone for you." When she looked up, she saw a smile in his eyes, and he said: "Finally Willing to look me in the right eye."

Just as she was about to lower her eyes again, there was a sudden weight in front of her.

She fell into his arms.

He hugged her gently.

"Let me give you a hug, just give me a hug. I haven't seen you in nine months. You don't miss me, but I miss you." He said with tiredness in his voice, "In order to eradicate the Wang family, I have spent these nine months very tired." .”

She struggled for a while, but when she heard the tiredness in his voice, she felt reluctant to give up, her heart softened for a while, she stopped struggling and let him hold her.

He added: "This is all my people, no one will come over, let go after a quarter of an hour."

He said again: "You push me away first, otherwise I won't let go."

Ah Yin was powerless to resist his weakness.

Yue Mo is used to being strong, and now she shows weakness, she doesn't know how to deal with it, so she can only let him hug her.After a long while, I asked, "Why did you come to Gongcheng?"

"want to see you."

She sniffed lightly, and the breath on his body was still familiar.

Her waist suddenly tightened, and her whole face sank into his chest.

The little insects on the ground burrowed and disappeared into the crack.Ah Yin heard his chest beating violently, thump, thump, almost bursting her eardrums, and her heartbeat also became faster.

bang bang bang bang...

The heart seemed to be about to jump out of the chest cavity!
For a moment, I couldn't tell whose heart was beating.

Ah Yin always felt that she would get lost in it, so she clenched her teeth and said, "Miss Li is fine."

She really thinks that Li Rong is pretty good, with good looks, and although she has a ladyish temper, she seems to like Shen Changtang very much.His family background was against him, and there was no embarrassment from the emperor, and no matter what Shen Changtang did, Li Rong would definitely support him unconditionally.There will be no conflicts between them, let alone a nine-month cold war. A virtuous girl like Li Rong must marry her husband and obey her husband. match.

Shen Changtang tightened his grip on her waist.

He said in a low voice, "Don't mention other people."

If he had said that before, she would never speak again.But now that she has confidence, Shen Changtang has to weigh her up if she wants to handle her, she is no longer afraid of him.No matter how straight-faced he is or how gloomy his tone is, she is not afraid anymore.

She ignored his words.

"I didn't dare to say you before, but I felt it was wrong at the time. I think Li Rong is quite innocent. She likes you wholeheartedly, and she wholeheartedly hopes to be your wife, but if she finds out that she is being someone else's cover, she will How sad it must be."

"What does it matter to me that she is sad?"

Ah Yin said, "You are honest and forthright."

He said: "It doesn't matter if the irrelevant people are sad, I don't care. I use the Li family, and the Li family also benefits. I don't use the cover, and the Li family is also willing. The Li family in Qingzhou has been suppressed by the Wang family, let alone a daughter. The top ten Li families are also not at a loss."

Ah Yin had a bit of a headache, she said: "You care about profit and calculation in everything, and you never thought about how innocent people are forced to be involved in it!"

"I am not a saint, so what does innocence have to do with me?"

Shen Changtang asked what the left sentence had to do with him, and the right sentence had nothing to do with him, and A Yin said angrily, "What does it have to do with you?"

"you."

The phrase "Is it only the emperor" that came from Ah Yin's throat immediately swallowed it, completely unexpected that he would say such a word suddenly.His voice was still firm: "Your thoughts have nothing to do with me, your preferences have nothing to do with me, if you don't like it, I'll try to change it."

His voice gradually softened.

"I only care about what you think and who you care about. This is my promise to you."

A Yin pushed him away, but Shen Changtang refused to let go, saying: "It's less than a quarter of an hour."

Ah Yin said helplessly: "Do the math, how many times have you kept your promise to me?" He hugged her even tighter.Ah Yin felt a cold sticker on her belt, she asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

He said, "I tied a kit."

Ah Yin wanted to look down, but his chin was pressed against her shoulder and he couldn't move. He said, "It's my hidden pile distribution map."

A Yin was startled, and said: "You are..."

He said, "This is the deposit."

Ah Yin couldn't laugh or cry, it was really the first time someone promised to bring a deposit, and it was not a pawn.She said: "What's the use if I want it?" He said: "Do you know how many enemies I have? How many people want to get this thing?"

Ah Yin immediately understood what Shen Changtang meant.

She said: "You give me your weakness?" If he doesn't keep his promise, his hard work will be wasted.

"No, it's not my weakness. From the beginning to the end, the only weakness of this Marquis is you."

Ayin suddenly felt that Shen Changtang had become more and more good at sweet talk in the past six months. Although he didn't want to admit it on the surface, he still liked it in his heart.He talked a lot, and his heart gradually softened, but Shen Changtang didn't mention the emperor, and she was a little disappointed.

When a quarter of an hour arrives, Ah Yin pushes Shen Changtang away.

This time Shen Changtang didn't stop him, he took a step back and looked down at her.

Under the moonlight, her lips seemed to have a seductive luster.

He missed her so much.

He looked away and said, "Don't worry about this matter."

After a while, she realized that she was referring to leading the snake out of the cave. She frowned slightly and asked, "Why?"

He said: "This matter is beyond your ability."

He said it bluntly, and she also asked bluntly: "This is not an ordinary tomb robbery, is it? Who in the court is eyeing it? The emperor? My grandfather is only a mere commoner, so how can he still recruit people after his death?" miss?"

Shen Changtang also didn't know, he said: "I'll check."

Ah Yin said, "Ming Mu, you know I'm not Li Rong."
