carved heart

Chapter 85
"You are all dignified men. What awaits you is the road of splendor. We Qinghui Building will never let you be wronged! Let those noble people trample us! Although we are not from Yongping, we can still live in A bright and magnanimous road has been broken out in the precious land! And our Qinghui Building will walk side by side with you!"

Ah Yin and Shangguan Shixin said it was You Yongping, but they met together, and after walking for a while, they found a picturesque place to drink tea and talk about nuclear carving.The two had a great time talking, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, but they didn't feel any strangeness at all.

"...I saw your recent nuclear carvings, and they are different from before. My father once said that a person's nuclear carving level will change with his experience. Now seeing your nuclear carvings, it is true."

Seeing that Ah Yin's teacup was empty, he lifted the teacup and poured tea for her. When he put down the teacup, he said, "Not hot?"

It's the hot summer now, girls from other families are wearing thin silk dresses, and the streets are full of chest-length skirts, goose yellow, pink purple, crescent white... Colorful, it is a beautiful scenery in Yongping.On the contrary, Ah Yin's clothes today...

For the time being, Shangguan Shixin couldn't see what Ah Yin was wearing.

In the hot weather, she tied a cloak and wrapped herself so tightly that she couldn't even see her neck, only her head.

Ah Yin coughed lightly on his sleeves, and said: "The mountains are cool, not hot."

Speaking of this, Ah Yin really wanted to throw Shen Changtang into the pot and cook both sides.Marquis Shen's jealous nature did not change, she thought she had coaxed her well last night, after all, she had worked so hard to serve "Sickness"!Originally thought that he was at ease and no longer worried about being jealous, but he didn't expect to come together this morning, and almost scared the maidservant who came in to wait on him.

A Yin looked at the Linghua mirror, no matter how calm he was in front of the servants and servants on weekdays, he couldn't help but blush.

Shen Changtang actually bit out one after another red marks on her neck, one on the left and one on the right, counting carefully, there were as many as ten!It's all because she was distracted and infatuated last night, and was kissed lightly by him. At that time, she just wondered why Mingmu was so partial to her neck tonight?I didn't think much about it after that.

How treacherous!

She reported to him last night that she was going to visit Yongping with Shangguan Shixin today. Originally, she was worried that he would refuse, so she tried her best to make the princes and princes happy, so he let go.

She was still thinking about it.

It's not like Shen Changtang's usual style to let go so easily.

It turned out that it had already been prepared.

Thinking of this, Ah Yin couldn't laugh or cry, why did Lord Shen look like a child?Dogs urinated and took up space, and he bit the red seal to demonstrate.She was going out today, she was very careful in her gestures, she was really afraid that she might show a part of her neck by accident.

Biting one red mark can also explain mosquito bites, and with more than a dozen red marks, she can only get into a hole in the ground.

Thinking that the red marks would not disappear within a few days, Ah Yin felt very melancholy.

After much deliberation, I decided that I must find Shen Changtang today, and it would be hard to vent my anger if I didn't bite his neck a few times!
"What are you thinking about?"

Ah Yin came back to his senses, coughed again, and said, "I don't know when we'll see Ziye after this farewell." Shangguan Shi said, "If you want to go to Suizhou, you can come back anytime." He didn't say a word, and she was afraid that she would never return to Suizhou again.

Looking away from her face, he got up and said, "It's getting late, it's time to go back. I'll go back to Suizhou with Jiang Man tomorrow morning. You don't have to send me off. I know you're doing well, and I feel at ease."

Ah Yin said: "You have to live well, so I can feel at ease."

Shangguan Shixin looked at her, his eyes gradually became deep.

A Yin gave a suspicious "hmm", Shangguan Shixin laughed suddenly and said, "A Yin, do you know what is the biggest difference between me and you?"

Ah Yin said: "You don't have time to carve the core now?"

He shook his head, and said slowly: "Sometimes Ziye envies Ah Yin, who has courage that I don't have."

Ah Yin was startled slightly, not understanding the meaning of Shangguan Shixin's words.

He smiled and said, "You came to Yongping." She never told him why she insisted on going to Yongping, Mingming Palace rejected her.But he could guess that it had something to do with her grandfather, if even Mu Yanghou couldn't solve it for her, there must be a lot of involvement.And she didn't have the slightest fear, so she rushed to Yongping so frankly.

She has an unyielding spirit.

Unlike him, who had clues, but chose to remain silent in front of the enemy.

After saying goodbye to Shangguan Shi, Ah Yin went back to the mansion directly.

Ah Yin changed his clothes again.

It's hot today, and she's stuffed in her cloak, sweating all over her body.After Ah Yin changed his clothes, he still found the red marks on his neck glaring, so he took a new cloak and tied it on.

She walked out of the courtyard and told the followers outside not to come in without her order.

Then she walked under the magnolia tree, imitating how Shen Changtang did last time, and spun the magnolia tree, revealing the secret path.Ah Yin raised the lamp and walked down. Last time, Shen Changtang only took her halfway, not to the end.

She groped all the way, the principle at the end of the secret passage was similar to the entrance, and she opened it quickly.

Ah Yin's heart was pounding.

She had lived so many years, and it was the first time she did such a bold thing.

She stuck out half of her head and found that there was no one around, so she went up with peace of mind.The courtyard where Shen Changtang lived was similar to what she had imagined, and she groped into Shen Changtang's room lightly, planning to give him a little surprise.

There is no light in the room, but thanks to Shen Changtang's habit, when he is outside, the servants must also arrange the room like Yongping.

Ah Yin found the bed in the dark.

When she was thinking about how to scare Shen Changtang, there were footsteps outside the house.

Ah Yin held his breath, afraid that Shen Changtang would notice it.However, at this moment, a female voice sounded, followed by the sound of opening the door.Ah Yin suddenly felt something was wrong, but luckily he reacted quickly, rolled over and hid directly under the brocade quilt.

The brocade quilt has a familiar smell.

Ah Yin knew that it was Shen Changtang's smell, and when he thought that he was lying on Shen Changtang's bed at this moment, the roots of his ears turned red involuntarily.

"When do you plan to marry Miss Li's family?"

"Mother, I have a sense of proportion in this matter."

"Mingmu, it's not your mother who said you. Although your marriage should be approved by the emperor, but if you don't say it, how can the emperor remember your marriage if you have a lot of things? The girl of the Li family is infatuated with you. Marry us back as soon as possible Hou Mansion, your mother can feel at ease."

"Yes, my son understands."

Next, there was another nagging.When Ah Yin was in Gongcheng, he had read many letterheads to Mrs. Shen, and now he was no stranger at all.Ah Yin pricked up her ears, and suddenly felt a slight itching in her nose. When a sneeze was about to come out, she held it back forcefully, bit her lip and let out imperceptible heavy breathing.

Madam Shen stopped suddenly and shouted: "Who?"

Ah Yin didn't expect Mrs. Shen's hearing to be so sensitive, she broke into a cold sweat from fright, but she remained calm, she pursed her lips tightly and did not make a sound.

Shen Changtang naturally didn't miss that breath, frowned slightly, as if thinking of something, Fang said: "It's getting late, mother must be tired." Mrs. Shen looked around hesitantly, and then said: "About touching, right? Think carefully about what I told you just now."

Shen Changtang said lightly: "Okay."

After the door was closed, Shen Changtang lit the lamp first, and then he looked around slowly, his slightly frowned brows gradually relaxed, adding a smile.He walked directly to the bed, staring at the slightly arched brocade quilt, and said casually: "I thought that my wife could only see my wife on the bed on the night of the bridal chamber, but it seems..."

The tone draws out.

Unexpectedly, Jin Bei didn't respond at all.

Shen Changtang stared at it for a while, then stretched out his hand and pressed lightly, but there was still no response.This time, Shen Changtang became anxious, and directly lifted the brocade quilt.I saw Ah Yin with her eyes closed and her face flushed, very much like her who had a fever that night.

"A Yin." He called out.

Her eyes were still closed.

His complexion changed slightly. When he saw that she was wearing too much and thick clothes, and she was still hiding under the brocade quilt on a hot day, he thought she was sick from boredom, so he immediately reached out to touch her forehead.As soon as cold fingers touched her forehead, she was bitten hard unexpectedly.

A deep tooth mark was left on the palm.

She glared at him.

Shen Changtang woke up like a dream, and said with a cold face: "Don't do this in the future."

He was so frightened that his heart was shaking.

A Yin slowly got up and said, "Scared you?" Shen Changtang looked at her expressionlessly.Seeing his slightly pale face, she realized that she was a little too frightened, and her voice softened immediately.

"It can't be my fault." She took off her cloak and said, "Look at what you've done, I won't be able to go out for a few days."

He remained expressionless.

Ah Yin has recently learned the extreme of coquettishness, and said with a groan, "I'm so hot, I'm sweating all over my body, I'm so uncomfortable." Seeing that he still didn't respond, she said angrily: "Only state officials are allowed to set fires and not allow people to light lamps. Marquis, don't be too overbearing."

Shen Changtang suddenly got up and left.

Ah Yin thought that this trick was useless, and felt distressed for no reason, when he was thinking about what trick to use, Shen Changtang came back again, with a square handkerchief in his hand.He sat down and looked at her.

Ah Yin stretched out his hand.

He avoided her hand and directly wiped the sweat from her forehead.He wiped it bit by bit, his eyes very focused.Ah Yin let go of her hands, for some reason, looking at Shen Changtang like this, she seemed to be able to see the everlasting world that she couldn't see before.

Shen Changtang suddenly stopped moving.

She is well-behaved and docile at the moment, her slightly trembling eyelashes are like thin butterfly wings, trembling, as if fanning a gust of wind, blowing to the lake in his heart, ripples rippling round and round, turning all emotions into one Soft around your fingers.

Shen Changtang brought a small blue-glazed porcelain bottle, poured a finger-sized transparent ointment into his palm, and wiped the ointment on her neck with his fingertips.The transparent plaster is refreshing and cool, very comfortable.

A Yin changed his posture and lay in his arms, narrowing his eyes lazily.

Shen Changtang said: "I never thought that one day I would serve others..."

She said: "Lord Shen Hou condescended, Ah Yin was so grateful." That being said, there was no expression of gratitude on her face, it was still the same as before, squinting her eyes and smiling slightly, as if it was the most natural thing.

Shen Changtang likes the relationship between the two of them now.

Even though she was a little spoiled by him, he was happy in his heart.He said, "Put it on overnight, and it will disappear in the morning." Ah Yin opened his eyes wide and said, "I'll say you did it on purpose."

Shen Changtang said straightforwardly: "So what if it's intentional?"

Ah Yin couldn't find any words to refute, so he narrowed his eyes and enjoyed Lord Shen's service.As if thinking of something, she suddenly asked, "Was that your mother just now?"

The fingers on the neck stiffened slightly.

Ah Yin then said, "I'm just asking, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me."

Shen Changtang said: "It does matter, when you marry into the Hou's residence, she will also be your mother." The movement of her neck became slow, and the coolness brought by the transparent plaster made Ah Yin more energetic, she wanted to sit up and talk to him face to face.But as soon as he moved, his right shoulder was lightly pressed, and he whispered: "Don't move, it's not finished."

Ah Yin had no choice but to give up.

He said: "I have been suffering from strange diseases since I was a child. My mother treats me in good and bad ways. Whenever I quarrel with my father, I will take it out on me. I probably learned from my mother to beat people to vent their desires."

Ah Yin was stunned.

She couldn't imagine that with Shen Changtang's background, Takako Yongping, who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, would have such an experience.

She asked, "Does your father know?"

Shen Changtang said calmly: "I know."

As long as he could remember, he had rarely seen his father.Even if he saw him, his father would never smile at him, let alone family happiness.At that time, he thought that all fathers in the world were like this. It wasn't until Chang Tan was born that he occasionally returned home from the palace and passed the courtyard of the second bedroom, and he could hear his father's seldom laughter.

Shen Changtang's tone didn't fluctuate at all, and Ah Yin was very distressed when he heard it. His slender palm quietly climbed up his wrist, slid down slowly, and clasped his five fingers.There was a hint of warmth in his voice: "Although I have a strange disease, the late emperor loves me more than my father because of my talent. It is the late emperor and the present sage that I can have what I am today."

A Yin let go of his five fingers, but he grabbed them again and put them in his palm.

He said, "A Yin."

She interrupted him and asked: "I heard that Mrs. Shen was the number one beauty in Yongping back then, and your father had a hard time getting her back. You are the eldest son of the family, why did your parents treat you like this? "

Shen Changtang naturally thought about this question thousands of times, but he still couldn't figure out what the reason was.

He laughed at himself, and said: "Yue Mo is because of my strange disease. My parents regarded it as unknown when they were young."

Ah Yin felt very strange.

When she was forced to read Mrs. Shen's letterhead in Gongcheng, she would have thought that the noble lady in Yongping was thinking of her child, looking forward to her son's return every day, just like an ordinary loving mother in the world.It is completely different from the Mrs. Shen that Shen Changtang is talking about now.

As if seeing the doubts in Ah Yin's heart, Shen Changtang said again: "My mother started to change when I was canonized as Mu Yanghou. At that time, she seemed to be a different person, no longer the indifference and violentness before."

Ah Yin asked, "General Su is no longer favored by the emperor?"

A smile suddenly appeared in Shen Changtang's eyes, and he said, "The response is very fast."

Ah Yin snapped his fingers and said, "It's not that I react quickly, but I feel empathy. You and I have the same fate. When I gradually got rich in Gongcheng, my mother seemed to be a different person. There was no other reason. She can't rely on her father, and my younger brother is doing business abroad, and Brother Hao is still young, so she realized at that time that the only person she can rely on now is me."

"You guessed it right. At that time, my mother's natal family began to decline, and she only had me to rely on."

But people's feelings don't come as soon as they say it. Even if blood is thicker than water, the pain and injury suffered in the past cannot be forgotten overnight.Shen Changtang thought for a while, why did he fall in love with the Yin family?Except for the initial impulse caused by the strange disease, there are probably similar encounters.

That's why I had more tolerance for her than ordinary people at first, and gradually discovered her beauty.

Ah Yin said, "Master Shen, do you think we are a natural couple?"

The sadness in my heart disappeared without a trace, Shen Changtang said: "In terms of strange diseases, it is true that only your lips and your tongue can relieve my suffering from strange diseases."

Ah Yin scolded him.

"Speak well, don't always start playing tricks when you have the opportunity!"

Shen Houye decided to turn over a new leaf and showed it with physical actions.

Perhaps this is another natural pair explanation?

Ah Yin also didn't have the chance to try it on other men, but she didn't care, now that she's come here, she didn't think about looking for other men.When Shen Changtang left, he told Ah Yin that he didn't need to be so sneaky when he came back.

Hearing this, Ah Yin suddenly came to her senses, knowing that her sneaky appearance in Mu Yanghou's courtyard today was watched by his hidden guards, no wonder she felt as relaxed as entering her own backyard.

After Shen Changtang left, Ah Yin couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.

It has been several months since I came to Yong Peng, and everything is according to plan.

She is satisfied with the current status quo, but not satisfied.

Thinking of the Ninth Five-Year Lord in the palace, Ah Yin had a headache, and he couldn't help but secretly reminded himself that he must not take it lightly.Thinking about it, the soft spot became more and more painful, Ah Yin looked down.

In just two years, from a flat river to a turbulent sea, the taste is very delicate.

She thought to herself, it's better to kiss less, if it goes on like this, it will satisfy Lord Shen's eyes, but it will hurt herself.

Ah Yin almost stayed up all night, and the pain lasted until dawn.

When she called the maidservant to bring in water, there were hurried footsteps outside the house, followed by Fan Haohe's voice - "Miss, something happened in Qinghui Building." Ayin's complexion changed slightly, and he said, "What's the matter?"

Fan Haohe's flustered heart completely calmed down the moment he saw A Yin.

He said: "Master Yueming's elder brothers brought people here in an aggressive manner early this morning, and drove away all the guests. They insisted on asking the eldest girl to come over. They said that the food in our place was not clean, which harmed Yueming. The county magistrate fell ill. Not long after, seven or eight people came over one after another, all saying that they ate something unclean in our tea shop that day, and several of them are now bedridden."

After a slight pause, Fan Haohe said again: "Miss, I have asked people to appease the guests except County Lord Yueming first."
