Unscrupulous Concubine Evil Lord

Xia Chuyi didn't understand why Lin Shengqin brought her here, but seeing his mysterious appearance, she was really curious.

Hastily followed behind him into the courtyard, just as she stepped in, her eyes lit up and she said excitedly: "What is it, it smells so good!"

The old man closed the door and walked to the two of them, with a smile on his deeply wrinkled face: "This girl has a really sharp nose. The old man is boiling sugar."

"Sugar? What sugar? Maltose?" Xia Chuyi quickly stared at the old man with bright eyes, clasping his hands together in a devout look.

The old man smiled and said, "It's rock candy. I got it to coat the candied haws. Please wait a moment, girl, I'll get you some."

"Candied haws!"

As soon as Xia Chu heard this, his eyes lit up green. He didn't care about Lin Shengqin. He hurriedly followed the old man into the kitchen.

This small yard is not big, there are only three rooms in total, Xia Chuyi and they entered the largest room, which is the place where candied haws are made.

An oil lamp was lit inside the room, and it looked a little dark in the room, and there was no light at all through a layer of window paper outside.

Xia Chuyi wanted to pick out the wick, but was stopped by an old voice in the corner: "Girl, don't make it brighter, I heard that those ghosts follow the light to find people at night!"

The outstretched hand shook, and Xia Chu turned his head to the side, and saw a white-haired old woman beside the stove, looking at her anxiously at the moment.

She didn't know what to say, even the old man walked up to the old lady a few steps, reached out and patted her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, that's General Lin, this is General Lin's friend, No ghost dares to come."

Lin Shengqin also smiled and said hastily: "Yes, old woman, don't worry. The person who is the least afraid of ghosts in the world is standing here. She is in your house, and no ghosts or animals can enter this hundred miles away!"

"She... is so powerful?" The old lady obviously didn't believe it, and looked at Xia Chuyi's expression with a little timidity.

The old man hastily apologized to Xia Chuyi: "I'm sorry, girl, my old lady is timid and can't stand being scared. Don't be as knowledgeable as her."

Xia Chuyi blinked at Lin Shengqin with some grievances - do I look so scary?

Lin Shengqin suddenly wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. He coughed twice, pretending to be serious and said: "The two old people didn't realize who this is?"

"Aren't you a friend of General Lin's?" the old man asked suspiciously.

Lin Shengqin nodded: "It's true that she is my friend, but she still has an identity. She is Xia Chuyi, the ghost-hunting censor sent by the court this time. You should have heard of it, right?"

After saying this, the old lady and the old man's shocked gazes all fell on Xia Chuyi, obviously in disbelief.

After thinking for a long time, the two of them seemed to have come to their senses. They were about to kneel down towards Xia Chuyi immediately, but she pulled each of them up with one hand.

"Old man, it's our fault to disturb you late at night, so you don't have to be polite to us."

After Xia Chuyi talked about it, the two old people behaved a little more normally.It's just that he still couldn't help but glance at Xia Chuyi secretly, then shook his head and lowered his head.

She couldn't help touching her face, turned her head and asked Lin Shengqin with some doubts, "Is there something on my face?"

"No." Lin Shengqin shook his head.

"Then why are they looking at me like that?" She was surprised, how come they didn't react when they heard Lin Shengqin's name, but they made such a big noise when they heard her name?

Could it be that her notoriety has spread to the masses?

No, she wants to be a good young man who respects the old and loves the young!

Lin Chengqin smiled and said, "Actually, don't blame them for being so surprised. Do you know what you look like in the eyes of the common people?"

Xia Chuyi shook his head resolutely.

"Calling the wind and calling the rain, subduing demons and eliminating demons, with three heads and six arms, the gods descend to the earth."

Every time Lin Shengqin uttered a word, Xia Chuyi's mouth opened a little wider. In the end, her jaw probably didn't drop to the ground.

Staring blankly at Lin Chengqin for a long while, she seemed to have regained her lost soul suddenly, woke up suddenly, pulled his skirt and began to shake: "What kind of nonsense are these!"

Lin Shengqin was dizzy from being shaken by her, so he quickly reached out his hand to stop him, and forcefully pulled his skirt out of her clutches bit by bit.

"It's just a rumor, what does it matter?"

"Why doesn't it matter? My image is very important, okay? If those handsome guys believed the rumor that I was a three-headed and six-armed monster, wouldn't they run away when they saw me in the future? Then how could I get married! "

Xia Chuyi thought about the way the old man and your old lady looked at her just now, and suddenly felt unstoppable sadness.

The old lady standing next to her smiled kindly, and said, "General Lin is a good man who can't be found even with a lantern. Why don't you marry him?"

"Him?" Xia Chuyi squinted at Lin Shengqin.

Lin Shengqin crossed his arms and looked at her with a smile on his face: "Yes, if you really can't get married, you can marry me as the general's wife. I think my salary should be able to support you."

Xia Chuyi immediately put his hips on his hips, looked up to the sky and laughed three times: "Hahaha, Lin Shengqin, you don't know that I, Xia Chuyi, am also a little rich woman, right? The money in my little gold card can buy half of Cangzhou City. , where else do I need you to support me?"

"Then you can take care of me." Lin Shengqin looked away, his face not flushed and his heart not beating.

Xia Chu paused for a moment, then picked his ears, as if he felt he had heard wrong.

Since when did this Lin Shengqin start to have a thick skin?

The old lady and the old man next to him secretly covered their mouths and chuckled, which made Xia Chuyi want to go crazy by Lin Shengqin for the first time.

"I won't tell you anymore, I'll eat candy."

She shook her head arrogantly, really ignored Lin Shengqin, and went to talk to the two old men instead.

Lin Shengqin looked at her back, suppressed the playful look on his face just now, and finally all the sighs and hopes turned into a helpless chuckle.

Although the old man is not a sugar maker, the syrup he boiled is delicious, so sweet that Xia Chuyi almost loses his teeth.

She was holding a bowl of syrup that was still warm just after frying, and gently picked up a trace of it with a stick, and it immediately hardened into sugar strands.

At this time, she will definitely bite it down and make it all over her mouth. When she finally licks the corner of her mouth with her tongue, the taste is sweet.

Lin Chengqin watched Xia Chuyi's soft pink tongue licking his lips, and suddenly felt a tightness in his throat. Even though he didn't like candy, he began to feel that it was delicious.

Especially the one sticking to the corner of her mouth, it makes people want to eat it.

He was blushed and heartbeat by the thoughts that popped up in his mind, and hurried to help the old man, not daring to see Xia Chuyi anymore.

After Xia Chuyi ate some sugar, he also went to help the two old people make candied haws.

A large pile of fresh hawthorn has to be removed with an awl before it can be threaded on a stick, then dried and dipped in the boiled syrup before it becomes a bunch of candied haws on the street.

It is very cumbersome to do these crafts one by one, but Xia Chuyi was so excited when he made these for the first time, he had to touch everything.

The room is full of fresh hawthorns, semi-finished products to dry, and ready-made candied haws.

The old man and the old woman have no children, and the two of them cook candied haws every night and sell them the next day. This has almost become their only life for decades.

Being able to live this kind of ordinary life repeatedly, the relationship between the two of them is still so good. Xia Chuyi tilted his head and looked at the two old people, and his heart couldn't stop being warm.

The happiness that some people pursue is actually that simple.

Xia Chuyi is very talented in making candied haws. The old lady laughed from ear to ear, and repeatedly praised her as "good at making candied haws".

To be honest, it was the first time that Xia Chuyi felt that those compliments were so useful to her ears, which made her more motivated and moved faster.

On the other hand, Lin Shengqin next to him, a dignified general, was so clumsy when he did such a simple task, he got the stick several times.

Xia Chuyi looked at him with a look of disgust, but in the end he couldn't stand it anymore, reached out and grabbed the stick in his hand, and demonstrated it to him personally.

"It's so stupid, you can't do such a simple thing well. Look, I'll only do it once, you pick this up..."

How many times did Xia Chuyi say that Lin Shengqin didn't understand a single word.He only felt that his eyes were a little dazzled, and that little girl leaned in front of him, the tip of her nose was filled with the faint fragrance of her body.

He just felt that his heart was beating faster and faster, and he didn't know what he was holding in his hand. He suddenly felt a pain in the pad of his index finger. When he lowered his head, he saw that he had been poked and bleeding.

Seeing this, the two old people panicked and hurried to find gauze.

Xia Chuyi looked at Lin Shengqin speechlessly, his eyes were full of hatred for iron and steel: "You, you, what do you want me to say about you."

But in the end, he didn't say anything, Xia Chuyi looked at the gauze handed over by the old woman, and naturally pulled Lin Shengqin's hand over, lowered his head, and carefully bandaged the wound for him.

Lin Chengqin just stared blankly, as if he was stupid.

The old man and the old woman leaned aside, watching them secretly laughing.

"Okay, let me show you my masterpiece!"

Xia Chuyi spoke suddenly, and Lin Shengqin came back to his senses, and subconsciously lowered his head to look at his hands.

There was obviously only a small wound on the index finger, and in two days it would be so good that even the scar could not be seen.But at this moment, Xia Chuyi was wrapped like a bun.

Looking up at Xia Chuyi, he saw her covering her mouth with a smile of a successful prank, and he couldn't help laughing immediately.
