Fortunately met when I was not married

Chapter 23

Chapter 21 Acceptance

Shao Pei was supposed to return the next day, but that night he deliberately came back from the mountain ahead of time to welcome the two of them.Si Tian was very embarrassed by Shao Pei's grandeur. In fact, it was a private matter for her to go to Beijing, but Sister Su went for Pei Yunkuang. She didn't know exactly what it was, but from Shao Pei's words, it could be seen that Su Pian helped Pei Yunkuang a lot.

During the dinner, Xie Cong kept leaning close to Su Pian, and Si Tian felt that if she dared to sit next to Sister Su without a wink, Brother Cong might humiliate her in his heart, so she tactfully sat beside Lin Xiyan , Give him the seat that Brother Cong was looking at eagerly.Shang Yu sat next to Shao Pei, just in sight of her.

Her freshly washed hair was still fresh, and she braided two jet-black braids hanging down her chest, making her skin more and more white.Because she thought of Xie Cong and Su Pian, there was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth all the time, which made him feel a little dazed, because that faint smile reflected her gentle and quiet face very movingly, it was a kind of girlish smile. The unique style seems to be able to give birth to a curling fragrance.

She often met his gaze when she raised her eyes, maybe it was because she was sitting facing him, that's why they were so frequently intertwined?She thought so, but didn't take it very seriously.

Returning to Suzaku Yard after dinner, she unpacked her bag and suddenly remembered something.When she was in the city, she found time to buy him a pair of boots, which were not expensive and couldn't compare to the exquisiteness of his feet.But this is her heart.Sometimes, the heart can only be expressed with money, and often the more money, the better it is expressed.This kindness was regarded as a thank you for his care for his mother, and she read it for two months.

She was going to find him with the boots.Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.She got up and opened the courtyard door, only to see Brother Cong standing at the door in a unparalleled style, the moonlight was light, but his face was shining brightly.

"Sister Su is in the room." She said something, and borrowed from him with a suppressed smile.

"Hey, hey, can't I come to you?" He felt something was wrong, how did she know that he came to Su Pian.

"Brother Cong, I have something to do. If you want to find me, you can do it another day." She turned her head and said, and left, as if she didn't know anything, just smiled innocently and kindly.

The light was on in Qinglongyuan, she knocked on the door, but it was Qi Yang who opened the door.She froze for a moment, and immediately put the boots in her hands behind her back. Although she gave him something to express her gratitude, it was late at night, and she was afraid that Qi Yang might misunderstand.

Qi Yang asked: "Are you looking for senior brother? He is playing chess with me."

She hurriedly made an excuse: "Ah, I'm not looking for him. I want to see the pigeons."

"Watching pigeons?"

It's so late, what kind of pigeons to watch, this excuse is obviously very lame, she hurriedly said: "Let's try another day."

She turned away in a panic.Another day, give him the boots another day.

Back in the courtyard, I vaguely saw Brother Cong's silhouette reflected on Su Pian's window paper, will he be kicked out again soon?She went back to the house with a smile and untied her braids.

The three strands of hair that were twisted together were all loose, but still damp, she smoothed them out with her hands, and then poured a sip of tea.

The tea was brought to her lips, and suddenly, remembering that day, he grabbed her wrist... I didn't feel it at the time, but when I thought about it later, his fingers were fair and delicate, but very powerful and warm. She looked at her Wrist, a little crazy.

The sound of footsteps at the door startled her back.

"Did you ask me for something just now?" Shang Yu stood by the door and raised his sword eyebrows.

She put down the teacup, as if she was a little flustered by him seeing something on her mind, she even forgot how to say it.

He looked at her and asked: "Look at the pigeons?" Hearing Qi Yang said that she came to him, but turned back, he couldn't continue playing chess, and couldn't help coming to "excuse the teacher".

She let out an "oh" in a daze.

Without saying a word, he turned and went out, intending to foster the pigeon to the owner of the bamboo forest first.

She came to her senses and quickly stopped him: "No, big brother, just wait a moment."

He stopped in his tracks, anticipation rising again in his heart.

She picked up the boots on the table and handed them to him, sincerely: "This is my heart, please accept it, senior brother."

He looked at the boots in her hand, and his surprise was like a small flame. She was still thinking about him, and she actually brought him a gift when she came back from outside.

He suppressed his joy, and asked another question calmly: "Have you given them to Qi Yang?"

"No."

So, joy flowed from his heart to the corner of his lips, and he took the boots with satisfaction.Very good, only for him, only for him.It means that he is very special in her eyes.

Unexpectedly, she added another sentence: "I don't have that much money, otherwise I would give the master a pair."

He frowned, could it be that if he had money, he would even give it to them?It seems that she is still poor.As long as he has money.

"Eldest brother, you can try it to see if it fits the size."

"You don't need to try it." The first gift she gave should be put away for preservation, how could she be willing to wear it on her feet.

Her hair is untied, with a faint fragrance that comes and goes from time to time.Because I braided my hair when it was wet, my hair is loose and frizzy.

She was standing very close, within an arm's length, and he even picked up a strand of hair, as if it belonged to him naturally.The smoothness and coolness between his fingers made his heart flutter, and he tried his best to restrain himself so that he didn't take a step forward, and only said: "Your hair is curly."

He let go of his hand and hurried away.

She felt a little indescribable. It seemed that he shouldn't take her hair. Hair should also be included in the relationship between men and women.

**** **** **** **** **** *****
The next day, she and Lin Xiyan resumed their old lives as usual.The difference is that a huge rock in her heart has been removed by Pei Yunkuang, and she feels much better. Although Xiao An's death and her mother's poisoning are still unclear, the most important thing is that the living people live well. .My mother recovered seven or eight points from her illness, which was better than anything else.She was much more cheerful than when she first arrived, not because of her words or actions, but because the agility of her brows and eyes became brighter and brighter.

Xie Cong was soon sent out by Shao Pei again, and there were still only two senior brothers, Shang Yu and Qi Yang, in Qishimen.Shang Yu doesn't "bully" her anymore, she thinks he treats her well like an older brother.Whenever she was free, she took Lin Xiyan to Qinglongyuan to look at the pigeons, but unfortunately, this pigeon was not a plaything, it only stayed at Qishimen for half a month before flying away.

In the blink of an eye, autumn came, and after an autumn rain, the mountain breeze was cool and the heat dissipated.

On this day, Su Pian said seriously to the two of them: "You have been studying with me for half a year, and now your master is going to test you. Within three days, if you poison him, you will be considered a teacher."

In fact, she usually mentioned this matter a lot, and now she brought it up cautiously, and it was only three days away, which really shocked the two of them.

Su Pian suddenly smiled and said: "Poisoning him is not poisoning him to death! The cleverness of poisoning does not lie in how poisonous the medicine is, but how it is administered. Like a crane with a red crest, seeing blood seals the throat." It's very powerful, but if people can tell at a glance what kind of poison it is, how it died, and then figure out who caused it, it's not good. It's a master who is silent and unaware. "The words unintentionally touched Si Tian's sadness.Her mother and younger brother were poisoned silently like this. She secretly clenched her fists. One day, she would definitely find out who the murderer was.

Lin Xiyan was unhappy, and asked in a low voice, "Why do you want to poison Master?"

Su Pian thought for a while, and then said: "This is to see your understanding." She was very vague, and didn't explain clearly why Shao Pei was recruited, but Si Tian and Lin Xiyan didn't dare to be sloppy, and started to go their separate ways. Worrying about how to figure out a way to poison the master in front of him without him noticing.

In a blink of an eye, the period of three days came.

On the fourth day, Shao Pei had diarrhea for the whole morning, while Shang Yu was sprayed with poisonous mist and lay on the bed.

Shao Pei's diarrhea was caused by Lin Xiyan.She followed Su Pian's method completely, and bet that Shao Pei had suffered once in this matter, and she never thought there would be a second time.Sure enough, she hit it off.Shao Pei immediately took down the palace lantern, probably never using it again.

And Shang Yu is completely a scapegoat.

There is a pot of bonsai on Shao Pei's desk.

Si Tian sprinkled a thin layer of medicinal powder on the corner of the bonsai. The medicinal powder had a nice name, Haze.When you see water, it becomes mist. It is colorless, invisible and tasteless, but it is poisonous and can cause coma, headache and general weakness.

Shao Pei usually cherishes the bonsai very much, and he always takes care of it himself.Si Tian calculated that as long as he went to water, he would be poisoned by the mist.Unfortunately, that day, Shang Yu kindly poured water for him, so
Si Tian looked at Shang Yu lying on the bed in frustration, full of guilt.

Su Pian fed him the antidote, and said with a smile: "Master Shao, Shang Yu is poisoned, does this count as a teacher?"

Shao Pei had diarrhea all morning and was exhausted, so he said kindly: "Forget it." Then he went to rest.

That night, he said to Su Pian: "Actually, Lin Xiyan is more scheming than Si Tian. Si Tian pays attention to people's preferences, while Lin Xiyan can calculate people's weaknesses."

Su Pian looked at him silently, turned around and went out the door, it seemed that he had already chosen Si Tian.Perhaps, Pei Yunkuang chose Si Tian a long time ago, that's why he took their mother and daughter to the capital to show her kindness and make her more loyal in the future.She sighed faintly, thinking of herself four years ago.When Chuye was coaxed to 300 taels of silver by an old man in sixties, she already wanted to die, but when she thought of Su Wan, she could only cry with blood, looking at that old face that was obsessed with sex like a dead tree and ravine. Strong smile.

The moment Pei Yunkuang offered 500 taels of silver to buy her, she felt like he was a god.His suave reputation spread throughout the capital overnight.She followed him wholeheartedly and did a lot for him, just wanting him to buy her sister for money.

He promised her, bought Su Wan, and saved the sisters from suffering.

She misses him well, but also hates his cruelty.He knew that Su Wan had feelings for him, but under Shao Pei's instigation, he personally sent her to the palace.

She stood in the courtyard, her hatred welling up, and she couldn't help trembling.In fact, what she hated was neither Shao Pei nor Pei Yunkuang, but the man in the palace, and everything was due to him.He made her family ruined and reduced to prostitution.Let her sisters separate and not meet each other.She only hated why she wasn't the one who was sent to the palace. If so, she could kill him with her own hands.

Under the moonlight, her beautiful face was glowing blue, like the murderous aura of a cold sword.She was in a hurry, but Pei Yunkuang was very patient, almost inhuman, and could tolerate others coming to kill her.The situation in Beijing is already hot, the dust has almost settled for each faction, and they are starting to confront each other, but he seems to be on the sidelines, watching with cold eyes.Dealing with Liang Mantun this time was not fun for her at all.But he decided to start with the pawns.

She didn't care about his layout, she just wanted to take revenge by his hand.She gritted her teeth secretly, struggling to suppress her anxiety and hatred. Suddenly, Si Tian's voice came from behind her.

"Sister Su, why hasn't he woke up yet? Are you all right?"

She took a long breath, turned around, and saw Si Tian standing at the gate of Qinglongyuan, the orange lantern shining on her face, soft and quiet.

She was dazed for a moment, her demeanor really looked a bit like Su Wan.

Her heart softened a bit, she didn't know if it was her luck or misfortune that Pei Yunkuang chose her.

"It's okay, just watch him, wait for him to wake up, and give him the antidote again."

"Okay then." She returned to the courtyard nervously, feeling really guilty.

Shang Yu lay on the bed, as if asleep.However, breathing is a bit fast.

She looked at him and found that his eyebrows were very thick and long.It was the first time for her to look at him so carefully, and if she looked more closely, she could still see the faint blue color on his lips. She was a little embarrassed and looked away.

The night was very quiet, and the sound of his soft breathing seemed to be hypnotizing.

She was a little sleepy, but she held on and dozed off while sitting on a grand chair in front of his bed.

When he woke up, he saw her "nodding her head".He wanted to laugh, and really wanted to put his hand under her chin. If she moved any further, the chin would fall into his palm.It's a pity that the idea is wonderful, but I don't have any strength in my body, so I can only cough lightly.

She woke up with a start, and hurriedly asked, "Brother, are you feeling better? Sister Su said that taking another antidote will make you fine."

"Not very good." He frowned, wanting her to care more.

Sure enough, she brought a glass of water with concern and fed him medicine.Looking at him eagerly: "Brother, are you feeling better?"

Well, not so fast.He intends to aggravate her guilt a little.

"My arm hurts so bad I can't move it."

She hurriedly put down the cup and said, "Let me rub it for you."

She rubbed it twice with her hands, but she felt it was inappropriate again, so she blushed and gave up.

"My fingers are numb." He continued to report the military situation.

She panicked: "Then what should I do? I'll call Sister Su over."

"No, you can help me pull a few."

She thinks it's awkward, but she should be responsible for what she caused, shouldn't she?So, ignoring her shyness, she picked up his palm and pulled his fingers one by one.I thought, can this method work?
He finds it useful.Her fingers were soft and her skin was delicate, touching his skin, so comfortable that she didn't want to separate.

She asked again: "Brother, how are you?"

"Not yet."

She looked at him a little worriedly, not knowing when he would get better.

He was in no hurry and enjoyed her worry and attention.Her eyes kept falling on his face, carefully and earnestly, she was about to stare intently.

He thought it was very good.
