Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 113 Chapter 120

Summer nights are hot, the sills and windows on each wall are open, bamboo curtains are hung on all sides, and a gust of wind squeezes in from time to time through the gaps between the slats, which dilutes the summer heat a little bit.Although the house is quiet, the sound of cicadas is loud outside.

Ye Lingwu led Rongxiu forward, blessed Fu's body and said, "Please be safe, Lord Hou."

Shen Zhan raised his eyes slowly and said, "Please sit down, Qingqing."

Ye Lingwu hesitated for a moment before taking a seat opposite Shen Zhan.

There was a desk between the two, at this moment, Yue Yang brought a chessboard from the side room, put the chessboard on it, and then retreated to the side.

"Can Qingqing play chess?" Although Shen Zhan was asking, he had already opened the chess bowl full of sunspots.

"Yes... a little bit." Ye Lingwu smiled.

Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting have always been enjoyed by elegant people. In her memory, she only watched Song Yun play a few games when she was four or five years old.

A few floor-standing crane-shaped lamps were set up in the room, star-by-star lights, and low candlesticks against the wall, one every few steps, high and low, flickering, illuminating the room as bright as day.

There is also an exquisite six-sided glazed lamp on the table, which is placed next to the chessboard, and the warm glaze is applied to each chess piece, making it smooth and shiny.

Shen Zhan's long eyelashes drooped slightly, and shadows fell on his fair face. He stared at the chessboard for a long time, frowned unconsciously, and rubbed the chess pieces with his fingertips inadvertently.

Not thinking, more like "worry".

It was Ye Lingwu's turn at this time, she rolled up her sleeves, thought for a few seconds, and made a decision with a click.

Rongxiu gasped, and looked away unobtrusively, probably because she didn't see it.

Yue Yang also frowned, hesitated to speak: "Ciao girl..."

After he finished speaking, seeing Shen Zhan staring at him, the impatience between his brows was suppressed by reason.Well, just shut up.

Shen Zhan was silent for a long time before slowly laying his hands down, and said casually: "You can go down, Qingqing."

"..." Ye Lingwu swallowed her throat, and secretly cursed: I don't want to play anymore, you should just tell me what you have to say, I really don't want to play anymore! ! !
She secretly spurned it, and when she raised her hand again, she found Yue Yang and Rongxiu were staring at her hand closely, she paused, then dropped it again.

The moment the child fell, Rongxiu and Yue Yang looked away again.hot eye.

Shen Zhan was silent for a moment, then put the chess pieces back into the chess box without saying a word, and said, "Why don't we chat."

Ye Lingwu said as if she had received an amnesty: "Okay, let's chat."

Shen Zhan raised his hand slightly, Yue Yang understood instantly, winked at Rongxiu, and both of them backed away.

The screen retreated left and right, and the atmosphere fell into subtle embarrassment.I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ye Lingwu always felt that Shen Zhan was acting weird tonight, as if he had been waiting for her to speak first.

"Master Hou, did you ask me to come to the South Court today for something?" Ye Lingwu asked softly.

Shen Zhan didn't answer, but said: "I haven't had tea made by Qingqing for a long time, can I make one today?"

"……sure."

Ye Lingwu got up and walked towards the tea table.

It stands to reason that Shen Zhan doesn't often live in the Hou's Mansion, so naturally he won't meet guests in the Hou's Mansion. There is no need to set up a tea table in the main house. Even if he wants to drink tea, he only needs to talk to the servant, but she After sitting down, I looked at the tea table, which was more expensive than the tea set used in the moon, and the edge of the tea bowl was still made of exquisite peacock pattern glaze.

Ye Lingwu lowered her eyes and divided the tea carefully, poured the tea soup into the smelling cup, put the tea drinking cup upside down on it, turned the cup lightly with her wrist, got up and offered it with both hands: "Please taste it, Lord Hou."

Shen Zhan took the tea bowl, took a sip of the tea and praised: "The strong tea leaves a fragrance on the teeth and cheeks, which makes people have an endless aftertaste."

"Master Hou praised me, my craftsmanship is as mediocre as myself, and the old lady said that I have no talent for making tea." Ye Lingwu was ashamed.

Shen Zhan was silent, and looked out of the window suddenly. The cicadas on the tree outside were screaming hoarsely, and he said in a slow tone: "I remember the first time I saw Qingqing, I was standing on the corridor of the building. There are many girls who are as old as you, they are afraid or surprised, but they don't stand up like you, then I think you are different, and if you are different, how can you be mediocre."

Ye Lingwu was surprised, and Nuonuo whispered: "I didn't expect Lord Hou to remember this."

"Of course I remember," Shen Zhan slowly lowered his long eyelashes, "I'm afraid I will never forget it in this lifetime."

Ye Lingwu felt strange, and after a moment of silence, she smiled and said, "Master Hou, this tea is ready, should you tell me why I am called Nanyuan?"

Shen Zhan said: "Today, His Majesty urgently ordered me to attack, ordering me to thoroughly investigate the remnants of the former dynasty hidden in the southern region."

Ye Lingwu was startled, she didn't expect Shen Zhan to say this to herself, she thought to herself, "I'm going to investigate in the Southern Region, I must be leaving Beijing, Master Hou must be going for a long time?"

"This matter involves a lot, and it will take at least several months to investigate, maybe..." Shen Zhan slowly raised his eyes, staring at the girl in front of him, "I'm afraid I won't be able to congratulate you personally that day, Qingqing and Ji."

Ye Lingwu's heart skipped a beat, but then she remembered that Shen Zhan hadn't returned to the mansion for several months before returning to Beijing at the beginning of the year. It's not surprising that someone like him pays attention to important things.

She hummed, and said with a dignified look: "Jiji is not worth mentioning compared to national affairs. Even though Hou Ye went to the southern region to investigate, when you return to Beijing, Ningbei Hou Mansion will be lively again." Suddenly remembered Shang The red date crispy broth at the Beijing banquet for the first time, I am a little craving.

Shen Zhan was speechless, if she were someone else, she would definitely want to ask her relatives and flatter her, but she was the only one who didn't care about herself so much, she wouldn't even say simple words like "take care".

Either way.

Shen Zhan stood up silently, Ye Lingwu raised her head and followed him with her eyes, seeing him circle behind her, she turned her head to look at him and said, "Master Hou, what are you?"

After saying that, she saw Shen Zhan take out a handful of golden walking shakers from his sleeve.

The silk yarn is the petals, the velvet is the stamen, and the shape is exquisite. The Bu Yao is fixed with a large red gold hairpin inlaid with emerald greens, and a small gold sparrow hairpin is worn on the sideburns. The wings are spread out, lifelike and very agile. Look at it It is precious, and it is definitely not something that can be bought in ordinary hairpin shops.

"In Zhao Kingdom, women and empresses all have to wear their hair in a bun. This move was rewarded by the empress when I came back from northern Xinjiang. It has been kept in the warehouse for all these years, and I just found it. I don't know if you like it." dislike."

Ye Lingwu almost lost her breath when she heard the words.

Even if she wanted to pretend that she didn't understand the meaning of this.

To be missed by the dignitaries of the court, she should have secretly enjoyed herself, but she felt inexplicably congested in her heart, as if a big stone was pressing on her heart, and she couldn't breathe.

"...Thank you, Lord Hou, for still remembering about me and Ji, but this hairpin is too precious, so Lord Hou should keep it for himself." Ye Lingwu's words were pale, and she didn't know what to say.

In the past, she always felt that her conduct was not good, but at this time, she blamed her in the past for not having a clear understanding of herself--now she can actually follow her heart and refuse to be a powerful minister. It's the second time!
Ye Lingwu was thinking wildly, when the back of her neck felt cold, she raised her hand to touch her neck, only to find that the long hair that was scattered had been coiled up.

It is not for nothing that Ye Lingwu grows so big.

Except for the elders in the family, that is, Lang Xu who made the marriage contract, the only one Zhaoguo can give to Miss Jiji is Lang Xu, she is not stupid, and now she can explain Shen Zhan's thoughts to her elders, it is really lack of understanding.

——This person must have taken a fancy to her!
