carved heart

Chapter 80
"Sometimes I really want to lock you in a dark room, so that the heavens and the earth will not work, and no one can see you except me."

Ah Yin's reply to Shangguan's official letter was very arbitrary, mentioning life in Yongping, Jinsheng's affairs, Baiyue, Hediao... It was just like when two bosom friends were talking eloquently when they were still in Suizhou.

As soon as Jiang Xuan left, Ah Yin picked up his pen again and wrote back the letter in one go.

In the end, Ah Yin only felt refreshed.

She set up the window and arranged the ten pages of letterhead one by one, ready to put them in the envelope when the ink was dry.She calculated the time, and if she took the water route, she would be able to receive it by Yue Ziye next month.

Suddenly, she heard a "squeak", which was the sound of the door being pushed.

She thought it was Axuan, and without turning her head, she smiled and said, "What did you cook again? Axuan, you really fed your sister like a pig? How could I eat so much? The food I just had is still there." In the belly."

There was no reply for a long time behind him, Ah Yin said softly "Huh" and tilted his head slightly.

This look happened to fall into a pair of dark and deep pupils.

"Ming...Mingmu..."

Shen Changtang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why are you so surprised?" She glanced at him and said, "Can you not be surprised? Master Hou is so elusive!" She took a few steps forward, naturally took his palm, and gently shook it. , Said: "You came just in time, I ate a lot just now, take a walk with me to eliminate food."

The tone is also very natural.

Shen Changtang held her five fingers instead, and the two intertwined.

He looked down, and half of the unhappiness at Jiang Xuan's place just now disappeared.She is very strange, she can always easily make his heart calm and peaceful, obviously she didn't do anything, as if she just stood quietly in front of him, when he was not moving, he was in a peaceful state of mind, and gave him a little look , and he was able to move his mind.

When I first met her at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, I never thought that a girl's film would have such a great influence on me.

He said: "Okay."

With that said, he led her outside.

When he walked to the door, his footsteps stopped, he looked back at the paper by the window, and said: "The wind will blow up at night."

A Yin was startled, and said, "Why don't you just walk around the yard to digest food? Where does Ming Mu want to take me?"

Shen Changtang didn't answer, just said: "You close the window."

Ah Yin gave him another look, and said, "You're so mysterious, I don't know what you want to do." Having said that, she obediently walked to the window and closed the window, just in time to see that the ink on the letter paper was dry. It's all over the place, and they're simply stacked together.

At this moment, Shen Changtang also came over, glanced casually at the letter, and said casually, "Is it a letter?"

Ah Yin replied straightforwardly: "Well, writing to Zi..." After a pause, he recalled some not-so-good memories, and changed his words: "A letter to the young master." After another pause, he said, "The young master came here a while ago. Letter, asking about the situation in Yongping, I have been busy and have no time to reply to the letter, just happened to be free today so I replied to the letter." She raised her eyes to look at him, and said in a low voice: "The letter mentioned my current situation in Yongping, and said After the nuclear carving and Mr. Jin's matter, there is nothing else left."

"Oh?"

Ah Yin said, "If you don't like it, I will have less contact with you."

"Well, I don't like it. Shangguan Shixin is interested in you. If you can be frank, he may not be able to." He looked at her, but changed the subject: "But I can tolerate you talking about nuclear carvings with him. I Knowing you and his high mountains and rivers, you are called a bosom friend. I don’t understand nuclear carving, and I don’t like nuclear carving. He can bring you the joy of nuclear carving and make you happy, so I don’t like it, but I am willing to tolerate it.”

He hooked her fingers, rubbed her fingertips lightly, and said, "I can't talk about nuclear carvings with you, but I am willing to do anything that makes you happy."

Ah Yin felt warm in his heart.

She directly kissed his lips on tiptoe, and was completely crushed without any accident, and her eyes were moist and blurred by the kiss.

In the past, it was A Yin who let go first, but this time it was Shen Changtang who let go of A Yin first.

He said in a hoarse voice: "I have to go out to digest food, save some strength."

Every time A Yin is deeply kissed by Shen Changtang, his whole body will definitely soften into a puddle of mud. Today, he stopped in moderation but left seven percent of his strength, just relying on him to take a few breaths and gradually recover.

Shen Changtang said: "It's cold at night, you go in and add a cloak."

Ah Yin said, "Okay."

After Ah Yin entered the room, Shen Changtang's eyes fell on the letterhead under the paperweight, he raised his eyes to see the place where Ah Yin's figure disappeared, slowly withdrew his gaze, and walked forward.

When Ah Yin came out, Shen Changtang was no longer in the room.

She walked out of the house, only to see Shen Changtang leaning against the magnolia tree.The moonlight was excellent tonight, Shen Changtang was wearing a round-neck brocade robe with a blue background and silver trim, and his jet-black hair made his eyes even deeper.

She used to think that Mingmu's eyes were pretty, but then he was serious, his slender Danfeng eyes seemed to have a layer of mist, far and deep, but it still made people feel like a deer.Now that the fog has dissipated, the sun is not bright, but it is like a deep mountain at night, with a crescent moon hanging quietly on the treetops. The dim moonlight shines on the earth, adding a layer of inexplicable tenderness .

. . . it's intoxicating.

At that moment, Ah Yin heard a pounding sound in his chest.

Even though it was only about ten paces away, she still trotted up, bumped into his arms, raised her neck, and said with a smile: "Mingmu is so good-looking, but he can only get close to me as a girl, which is really taking advantage of me. "

Because Shen Changtang has a pair of feminine eyes, he usually doesn't like others to mention his appearance, but the person in front of him is an exception.

"Who else do you want to be cheap?"

"No one wants to be cheap." She took his hand and said shakingly, "Where do you want to take me?"

The smile in Shen Changtang's eyes was even wider, and he said, "I'll give you a reward." As he spoke, his slender fingers pressed lightly on the magnolia tree, and an underground secret passage the size of a square appeared below.

He led her down.

After walking down dozens of stone steps, the moonlight above his head disappeared, replaced by torches lit one by one on the wall.Ah Yin only found it strange, looked around and asked Shen Changtang a lot of questions.

Shen Changtang answered them all one by one, very patiently.

At the end, Ah Yin smiled and said: "The moonlight is very good tonight, I was thinking of going for a walk outside to digest food, but you are good, just take me to the secret path to digest food."

Shen Changtang said: "It's just you and me here, and I can't even see you by the moonlight." He squeezed her hand, and said: "Sometimes I really want to lock you in a dark room, so that the heavens should be called the earth. , no one can see you except me."

If it was before, Ah Yin would have felt that he was extremely domineering, but now she heard that he was just talking, she echoed: "I also want to lock Ming Mu in a dark room, so that you can call the sky but not the earth." It doesn't work, let's see how arrogant and domineering you are."

Unexpectedly, Shen Changtang laughed lowly, and replied: "Didn't you taste my arrogance and dominance in the dark night?"

As soon as these words came out, Ah Yin was stunned for a while, and it took him a while to realize the deep meaning in his words. At that moment, the roots of his ears were slightly red, and he said, "Are there other things in your mind besides this?"

"Have."

"What? Say it."

"you."

The cool fingers hooked her fingertips, slowly climbed up the wrist, forearm, arm, and then came to her fragrant shoulders, then slowly slid down, and finally landed on her slender waist , rubbing his broad palm carefully, accompanied by his exceptionally deep voice slowly heating up.

"If you lock me in a dark room, I can think of you laughing, annoyed, angry, crying, or kissed by me... the one I think about the most is you lying under me , blushing, begging me with a crying voice, expecting me..."

The redness on A Yin's ears crept up to her neck following his words, and she was shaking all over, hot and itchy.

"I didn't bend over you," she said.

"Well, that's what I thought." He said confidently.

Ah Yin was stunned by his shamelessness!Even if he thought in his heart, he said it bluntly!And don't feel ashamed at all!He looked at her and said, "You will do the same sooner or later. What's wrong with me thinking about the future?"

Ah Yin was speechless, and said: "Mingmu Duan is high, I can't learn it."

He chuckled and said, "You don't need to learn, I'll be fine."

When Ah Yin heard this, he didn't need to be stunned for a while, but he could immediately understand the meaning of his words, and his whole face turned red immediately!I really can't wait to take back the previous words about shutting him up in the dark room.

What's the matter!Isn't this sending sheep into the tiger's mouth!

Seeing that she was so popular that she could bleed, Shen Changtang accepted it as soon as she saw it, changed the subject, and said, "Do you know why I want to reward you?"

A Yin's mind was still full of the shameful things about that bastard, and he said: "I don't want to know." His waist tightened, and he pinched his wide palm, he said: "I can't tell, pinch it. "

As soon as Ah Yin heard it, she knew that he was talking about something serious, and she felt quite proud. She used to be able to restrain herself in front of outsiders, but now she couldn't restrain herself in front of him. What can there be?"

His waist tightened again.

Ah Yin asked, "Did I guess wrong?"

Shen Changtang said in a slow voice: "No, it's just that the flesh and skin under the palm are icy, it's hard to control it."

Ah Yin was molested again, annoyed: "You..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Changtang suddenly stopped and said, "Here we are." Ah Yin was stunned, she thought the secret path was leading to Mu Yanghou's mansion, but Shen Changtang stopped halfway, and she asked: " What's here?"

Shen Changtang stretched his arms and turned the torch on the wall, only to hear the rumbling sound.

Only then did Ah Yin realize that the wall beside him was a movable door.

And behind the door is a coffin.

The secret passage was already somewhat dark and the air was thin, but now the stone door slowly turned, revealing a coffin, which looked particularly eerie in the narrow secret room.

If an ordinary girl saw this, her complexion would have changed greatly and her face would turn pale with fright.

But at this moment, Ah Yin was staring blankly at the coffin not far away, as if he was a little absent-minded.After a long while, he tilted his head in disbelief, with a trace of surprise and expectation on his face, and asked, "You... how did you do it?"

She ran away, pushing the coffin lid with bare hands as if seeing a treasure.

She was strong enough, and without Shen Changtang's help, she easily pushed it away, revealing a small half of the opening.She looked down, and there were dense bones inside.Mu Yanghou walked in casually and said, "Steal the dragon and turn the phoenix."

Seeing her staring intently, Shen Changtang said again: "This is the skeleton brought back from Gongcheng by the order of the Holy One. You may recognize it as the skeleton of our grandfather?"

Ah Yin looked at it seriously, and didn't notice that Shen Changtang quietly changed his address.

She asked: "Could it be possible that there is still a habit of collecting corpses in Chengsheng?"

Shen Changtang said: "Of course not."

Ah Yin's expression moved slightly, he lowered his eyes suddenly, and said in a low voice: "I want to say a few words to my grandfather here." Shen Changtang nodded slightly, turned around and went out.He stood alone in the secret passage, feeling a little restless in his heart for no reason.

Not because of Ah Yin, but because of Ah Yin's grandfather.

After a while, Ah Yin came out.

The first thing he saw was her looking around, looking for him.When he caught her sight, the irritability in Shen Changtang's heart was immediately covered up again, and he walked over in three steps, holding her hand.

Ayin smiled softly, and said: "I want to put my grandfather's bones here first, and then transport them back to Gongcheng when I find the opportunity." She thought for a while, and she couldn't act rashly at this moment.She is already in Yongping, at the feet of the emperor, and she is easy to be watched by people every move she makes. Although she is very anxious and wishes to let her grandfather return to her hometown at this moment, she knows that now is not a good time.

Otherwise, if they were discovered, everything they had done before would be in vain, and Shen Changtang might be implicated.

"Did anyone find out?" she asked.

Shen Changtang said: "How can this Marquis leave any mistakes in his work?"

A Yin said with a smile: "Yes, Ming Mu's method is the most powerful, A Yin is willing to bow down." After a pause, he looked at him with extra worry: "If the emperor finds out, it will be..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Changtang interrupted: "You won't be discovered, I'll take you back when it's getting late."

Seeing this, Ah Yin stopped talking.

The two seemed to have reached an unspoken tacit understanding, they didn't ask about Emperor Yongsheng's motives, and didn't ask about the past of Yin's grandfather, as if they were afraid that if they asked, the tacit understanding would be broken and they would go back to the situation of last year.

After Shen Changtang sent Ah Yin back home, he was really reluctant to let go, so he tasted her fragrant lips fiercely in the room.

This time there was no need to be shy, he kissed her so softly that she couldn't even move, and in the end Shen Changtang hugged her to the bed.After she fell asleep, she went back to Muyanghou's mansion through the secret road.

When Ah Yin got up the next day, thinking of Shen Changtang's presumptuousness last night, his whole face was as red as the morning glow.A servant girl brought hot water, took bamboo salt, put them all on the shelf basin, and then left without a sound.

Ah Yin has earned money now, but he doesn't like to use maidservants, and all the maidservants he bought have gone to serve Jiang Xuan.

If Jiang Xuan hadn't insisted on keeping one by her side, she would have pushed the maid to Ah Xuan's side long ago.It's not that she's not used to being served by her, but she prefers to be alone without anyone around her, Axuan is an exception, and now Shen Changtang is also the same.

Thinking of Shen Changtang, Ah Yin now has chest pain, mouth pain and tongue pain.

The combination of three kinds of pain is really embarrassing!

Ah Yin washes his hands with difficulty, and eats breakfast with difficulty.

Jiang Xuan noticed something wrong with her sister at a glance, and asked, "Did sister get angry? Something grew in her mouth?"

Hearing Jiang Xuan's question, Ah Yin couldn't help remembering the scene of last night, coughed heavily: "I didn't get angry, just drink more water and it will be fine in a few days."

Jiang Xuan said "Hey" again, and said, "Why did my sister suddenly blush?"

A Yin coughed heavily again, and said: "It's hot, let Fan Haohe add some summer summer things later." A Yin was afraid that her sister would ask her again, so it was impossible to tell her such embarrassing things to her sister, so she transferred The topic said: "Did you take your medicine this morning? After a while, when you feel better, we will invite a doctor from Yongping to take a look."

Sure enough, as soon as he heard the word "take medicine", Jiang Xuan shivered and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Fortunately, Fan Haohe came in at this time and solved the dilemma of the two sisters.

Jiang Xuan hurriedly got up and slipped out, saying, "I'm going to take medicine."

When leaving, he happened to pass by Fan Haohe.Fan Haohe was slightly taken aback, and when he raised his eyes to see Ah Yin, he couldn't help being taken aback again.What happened to the eldest girl and Miss Axuan today?
Ah Yin quickly calmed down and asked, "What happened?"

Fan Haohe said: "Let me ask the eldest girl, will the next nuclear carving banquet be held every half a month? How to draw up the list? Will the nuclear carving technicians and wealthy businessmen who have no reason last time be invited again?"

Ah Yin said: "There is no need to hold it every half a month. As the saying goes, rare things are more valuable, and others will not be uncommon if there are too many. The next nuclear carving banquet will be in a month and a half. This time, the nuclear carving technicians will not be invited, but the original ones My lords, I will send the invitation a month later."

As if thinking of something, Ah Yin suddenly asked, "How is the teahouse getting ready?"

Fan Haohe reported: "If you go back to the eldest girl, the address has been selected. It was originally an inn. I inspected it for half a month before listing the shop. I was hesitant on Xixuan Street and Dongwu Street before. Xixuan Street Most of the nuclear carving artists in Yongping gathered together, and there were big girls who set up a ring to sit in the ring. At first, it must have attracted a lot of customers, but then I thought about it for a long time and felt wrong. It’s a minority, and we still have to take the overall situation into account, so we chose the one on Dongbu Street, which is currently being decorated, and asked the eldest girl to choose an auspicious day for opening.”

Ah Yin said: "You have thought carefully and you have experience in opening a wine shop in Suizhou, so I can trust you."

Suddenly, Ah Yin's heart moved, and he had a good idea.

The next day.

The unprecedented excitement on Xixuan Street was even more lively than watching the Yin family and Mo Gui fighting core that day.But compared to the chaos last time, this time it was obviously much more orderly.The queue was long, almost from Xixuan Street to the end of the street.

A nuclear carving technician looked at the long line, and asked the nuclear carving technicians in a group: "What happened this morning? I was only two hours late, why is it so lively all of a sudden? "
