Congratulations on opening the coffin

Chapter 201 Isn't Spring Over?

It's just that Shen Ruo is no better than her, she sat up slightly, and asked suspiciously, "Is it because of the flower picker?"

The maid Xiao Cui breathed a sigh of relief when she heard it: "Madam, have you heard about it?"

"Yeah." She nodded lazily, "When entering the city, the city guard mentioned it."

Xiaoqing was filled with righteous indignation: "The flower picker is so hateful, he only looks for those innocent girls, even the young ladies from high-ranking families have been arrested by him. In the past half a month, I don't know how many girls have been ruined."

"That's right, the purpose of holding the Kao Tournament in advance this time is also to attract people."

Shen Ruo was somewhat puzzled: "It's been more than half a month, and there is really no way to catch people? Do you still have to rely on people as bait?"

Xiaoqing hesitated for a moment: "Here, we are just a little girl, so naturally I don't know much about the affairs of the government, but I have also heard a little bit that this flower picker is very light-hearted, and he comes and goes without a trace, just surrounded a watertight courtyard It is also easy to take people out."

"I've also heard about it. It is said that every time he finishes his work, he will leave behind a green bamboo leaf, so some people call him Yiyeqing."

Shen Ruo listened to what the two said to each other, and tapped his fingertips on the red lacquered wood: "Has no one seen his face?"

The two maids looked at each other, and Xiaocui said softly: "Maybe there is, but those girls who were caught by him kept their mouths tightly shut and refused to reveal anything. Some girls even lost it after that night." Hun, I only want to marry that Ye Qing."

Xiaoqing curled her lips: "It's not too shameful, but it's a pity that Yeqing only wants an innocent girl."

Shen Ruo glanced at her lightly: "Then you think I'm not innocent?"

Xiaoqing's face froze, and only then did she realize that she had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly thumped and knelt down: "Mrs. Husband, this servant is not...not..."

"Okay, stand up."

Shen Ruo withdrew her gaze, "I didn't ask you to kneel in the future, so don't kneel."

Xiaoqing looked at her awkwardly, making sure she wasn't angry, then stood up timidly, and didn't dare to say anything more, just continued to brush her hair obediently.

Xiaoqing's hands were really skillful, and he combed her a delicate hairstyle in a short while, Shen Ruo only looked into the bronze mirror twice, and was not interested anymore, turned around and asked: "How much is your monthly payment? "

Xiaocui hesitated for a moment, then replied in a low voice, "Five strings of money."

Consistently [-] Wen, that is [-] Wen.

Shen Ruo took two pearl hairpins from the jewelry box and handed them to the two: "I wasn't angry just now, but I don't want to say that again in the future. Your craftsmanship is very good, and it is not the layer of film that can determine your value." .”

The two servant girls looked at each other, saluted with blessings, and then took it carefully: "I understand."

She also only pointed to the end, and didn't say much, after all, everyone's point of view cannot be changed by her one or two sentences.

After finishing combing, she went straight out of the bedroom. The sun had already completely set, but Huainan City did not fall silent.

Needless to say, Lin'er didn't want to miss such a scene, and didn't need dinner, so she yelled and dragged Shen Ruo out the door, while Xiao Chen and Feng Xi followed leisurely.

Walking on the street, there are lights and festoons everywhere, and red ribbons are hung on the treetops. It is full of joy. It looks like it is holding an event. Lin'er is not afraid of strangers. When he came to a small stall with fried chestnuts, he smiled sweetly Ask: "Uncle, what are you doing in the city today, it's so lively?"

Shen Ruo gave an ingot of silver, and wanted to buy a few bags of chestnuts. The old man immediately smiled, and while loading the chestnuts, he replied: "Today there is a Kao race, it's on the Wanjiang River over there, and it won't start until Xu hour. Young master, you can go shopping around first."

Xu time is seven o'clock, depending on the sky, there is still about half an hour.

Shen Ruo took back the change and distributed a bag of chestnuts to everyone. The old man was very honest, and each bag was full.

Lin'er thanked the old man obediently, holding a big bag of chestnuts, and gnawing on it with one hand, wandering around. Slowly, more and more people went out on the street.

"Lin'er, there are more people, please watch carefully and don't get separated."

Shen Ruo was still holding the chestnut bag in his hand, seeing the crowd of people, he could only pretend to put it away, but actually put it back in the space, but the child ran away without a trace.

She was startled, Xiao Chen stepped forward to block the crowds for her, and comforted her: "Don't worry, Feng Xi will follow. Do you want to go somewhere? I'll accompany you."

Shen Ruo is not very interested in shopping, not to mention that there are so many people on the street now that the road is almost impassable, and she is forced to have physical contact with strangers, which makes her feel more uncomfortable: "Let's go to Wanjiang first, maybe we can take advantage of it." There is an empty seat, when the time is up, Lin'er should also pass by."

Xiao Chen naturally had no objection, he just used his body to separate her from the crowd, he hesitated and asked: "Is it considered as breaking the rules?"

Shen Ruo was a little funny, but thinking about it, he took her words seriously, so he cleared his throat again, and said seriously: "No, I should thank you. Are you okay? You shouldn't Do you like being crowded with people?"

He also deliberately squeezed out a relatively spacious space for her, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Xiao Chen looked down at her: "It's okay."

Shen Ruo couldn't help but look away from that gaze, and suddenly someone beside him shouted, "Excuse me."

Then she pushed her from behind, and she was caught off guard for a moment, so she threw herself into Xiao Chen's arms, and subconsciously supported her forward, through the thin summer shirt, she could clearly feel the beating heartbeat below, and that scorching heat.

For a moment, she was a little stunned, and she felt that her heartbeat seemed to be slowly speeding up along with the other person's heartbeat.

A strong arm tightly bound her slender waist, and Xiao Chen's low and worried voice came from beside her ear: "Ruo'er, are you okay?"

She suddenly woke up, pushed him away, not daring to look at his face: "It's okay!"

It's just that in her usual calm tone, she answered a little hastily. Seeing the other party's hesitant eyes looking over, she coughed heavily and forced herself to calm down, "I'm really fine, but you, your body temperature is much higher than before. It seems that your body It's really all right."

Why does this sound like a hooligan?

She quickly fanned her with her sleeve, then changed the subject and said, "It looks like it's really summer, it's so hot, let's quickly find an open space to sit."

Said, without waiting for Xiao Chen, she squeezed into the crowd, wanting to leave the atmosphere at this moment quickly, she touched her waist, always feeling that it was hot and lingering.

She bit her lower lip lightly, secretly annoyed, isn't spring already over?She couldn't believe that it was her who was stupid just now.

Annoyed and ashamed, she didn't notice where she went for a while, and when she came back to her senses, she realized that she and Xiao Chen had also separated.
