Chapter 25: Shu Chunhan

The food on the second day was indeed stubborn. Liu Deyi hurt his face and refused to see anyone. When the handed the food box to Shen Tuan, Shen Ting quietly stuffed a piece of broken silver for him. Yinzi laughed, "Gong Shen has always been a clever man." Then, he took out a small food box from under the table and handed it to Shen Yan, and then allocated half of the money to go back, saying, "You come, I'll keep it for you, so you won't need your money, but I will only give you a portion. "
Shen went back with the food container, and Gao Fei crouched on the embroidered pier with colorful chicken feathers, just like a big rooster on a flowering branch. Shen Ye was not surprised, so Wu set the food on her own, Gao Fei happily took the chopsticks and took a sip. She spit on the ground as soon as she put it in her mouth, and cursed in her mouth: "Well, you are a little king and eight lambs, want poison Dead capital !? "
"That's all, just make up for it," Shen said, picking up the snack box and turning away.
Gao Fei flew up and down beside him and shouted, "You who have no conscience, you have to eat alone! I don't follow, I don't follow!"
Shen Yan glanced coldly at her, and said, "If you dare to talk in front of Xia Houyi, I will tear your mouth."
Gao Fei shrank her neck, and the plump chicken feathers that originally had high toes suddenly sighed and drew on her head. Although Gao Fei did not dare to provoke him, she was still unconvinced, and grimaced desperately behind Shen Wei.
Shen Yan ignored her and walked through the flower gallery. Xia Houzhen beat the man yesterday and broke the wound on his shoulder. When Shen Hua saw his wound bleeding, his face turned black, and he was forbidden to go out and stay in the room to heal his wounds.
Turning over the Yuedong Gate, I saw Xia Houzhen leaning on the porch from a distance, and tilted his head and looked at him with a crushed glow in his eyes.
Xia Houyi's smile has always been awkward, looking at her bad, but there is an inexplicable imagination. He wore the ugly mask of Sixi, and still couldn't hide the hooligan style from the bones. The born bad germ had another honey-sweetened mouth. When standing on the street, countless big girls scrambled to gather around him.
Shen Ye has seen him work with girls, and Lanxiang girl in Xiefu softly called his brother-in-law so far. Thinking of this, Shen Yun immediately became unhappy and stuffed the food container into Xiahou's arms. He said angrily: "Lean to the door and laugh, and you put a few chicken feathers on yourself. Hit you. "
Xia Hou said with a smile: "Don't dare to be dared not to be, in terms of beauty, younger than the young master you."
While talking, he opened the food box and glanced into it. It contained only a bowl of white rice and a bowl of braised pork. This specification was more than a little bit worse than in the past. At that moment, it was clear that Liu Deyi was making things difficult, but only He didn't expect that Shen Gao's teeth weren't enough to get his teeth between them.
Xia Houyi asked, "Have you eaten?"
"I've eaten it. You're delicious. I'll come over and get the food container."
Xia Houyu answered and turned back to the room. Gao Fei chopped the lotus fish basin, and Hara looked at Shen Ye poorly, Shen Ye said helplessly: "Don't watch, I will follow you to eat rice."
Gao Fei frowned and said, "The little who corrupted the portal, just wait for Xiaobai's face, and use the chaff to suffocate the old lady, how brave you are!"
Gao Fei angrily plucked out the feathers on her head and threw herself into the body, and ran out of the yard.
Shen Yun: "..."
The rain in Beijing is more comparable to the south of the Yangtze River. The drizzle drizzles day and night, and the puddles hit the blue eaves, crackling, like someone's dish. Since the Assassin came out of the palace, Yu Linwei, who patrolled in the evening, doubled, and walked back and forth on the patrolled route every quarter of an hour. The lantern pavilion on the palace road was faintly faint, the patrolling guardian was like a vain shadow floating in the wind and rain, the copper plate on the armor was hitting a crisp sound, and it came through the rain curtain.
Liu Deyi bowed his waist and touched the backyard from the east gate of Qiongyuan. The shadows of the old trees are like twisted trunks of old locust trees, like the dead bones of old people, and the colors of the leaves and leaves are washed away by the rain. Liu Deyi murmured secretly that he hadn't seen such a gloomy palace in the daytime, but was haunted at night.
Go to the bottom of a lamp pavilion, a half-height lamp holder, the terry oil brushed yarn covered a pea green lamp, shining brightly. Liu Deyi looked around for a while, walked towards the north, walked just a few steps, and passed a red shadow behind a few trees, almost scared him to the ground. He settled down, and when he looked closely, he had nothing left. He took a few steps forward, meowing a few times while holding the tree, and lowered his voice and called: "Shen?"
No one answered. Liu smugly despised himself. He must have read it wrong and scared himself.
A further step forward, several connected pavilions came into view, with blue tiles and eaves, and the painted bridge was like a flying cloud crossing the water waves. Liu Deyi couldn't hold back the joy and excitement in his heart, and hurriedly walked two steps to the bridge anxiously, and the cat looked around across the rain curtain, only expecting the person in his heart to appear soon.
After waiting for a long time, Liu Deyi's heart slowly fell through, and the evil fire rushed up. He must have been tricked. It was such a heavy man that he hit himself once without saying, dare to joke!
Although the rain was not heavy, standing for a long time was enough to turn him into a falling chicken. The coolness penetrated into the skin through the soaked clothes. Liu Deyi held his arm and shook into sieve brace. He just planned to go home, glanced at it, and saw something on the railing at the bridge. Autumn, like a cloth bag.
Shouldn't Shen Yun let it go, and play with him to guess the riddle?
Liu Deyi jumped up in his heart again, hurried over, seeing that the cloth bag was enough, suddenly stepping on his feet, slippery, his body suddenly lost balance, and hit the marble railing. Who would have thought that the railings at this place had long been covered with cracks, Liu Deyi slammed into it, the marble was torn apart, and the stones and people fell into the lotus pond.
Under the old locust tree at the other end of the pond, Shen Zhuan looked indifferently to the scene on the bridge and turned across the path.
The night was getting deeper, and Yu Linwei got more. Shen Yan stood in the shadow of flowers and leaves, silently counting time. A team of Yu Linwei had just passed through the Shoushou Veranda, Shen Yun stepped out of the flowers, climbed the veranda, and took a small step. The map of Houyuan appeared in his mind, and he knew that he could return to the four Ganxi as long as he passed another Guanhua Pavilion.
The lanterns in the cloister were swayed by the wind, the lights were extinguished clearly, the iron horses jingled, and the sound was a long and thin string. As Shen Yan was about to turn, he put his hands behind his back and covered his mouth, dragging him into a nearby room.
Shen Yan's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and he wanted to fight back subconsciously. The people behind him whispered: "Little bunny, come out in the middle of the night to fooling around, have you stolen the girl!"
It's Gao Niangniang!
What Shen Yan was about to say, Gao Fei suddenly covered his mouth again, and stretched out her fingers. The two moved to the door very slowly and lightly, and heard two Yu Linwei passing by.
"Will we be found here when we release our hands?"
"I found a fart, and the rain rushed. What's the matter? Afraid?"
The footsteps drifted away, Shen Yun was secretly frightened. It turned out that the two men had just shown respect at the corner. If Shen Yun turned a corner, he could bump into his head.
Shen Yan turned her head, and Gao Fei listened very vigilantly. The light was very dim, and Shen Ye could only faintly see Gao Fei's red-bottomed embroidery embroidered with picking branches. Her were bulging, as if twice as large. Gao Fei raised her eyes, seeing that he was staring at his chest without blinking, raising his hand was a slap, cursing: "Smelly rogue!"
Shen Ye took a slap inexplicably, and frowned, "What are you doing!"
"Look at my chest!"
"..."
Shen Yan was speechless. After all, she rescued him and did not care about her. Shen Min took a deep breath and asked calmly, "What's in your arms?"
Gao Fei's eyes dodged, and she stuttered, "Nothing, I didn't pretend, I just gained weight recently!"
"Minger will be able to eat good meals and good food." Shen Min said patiently, "You don't show me, Minger you don't want to eat well."
"Huh, I don't believe it! The man's mouth, a deceitful ghost! You coaxed the little white face in your house who was stupid, still trying to coax me?"
Gao Fei's calm mood was said by Gao Fei in a few words, and she collapsed again. She gritted her teeth and said, "What did I coax him?"
Gao Fei "chucked" on the ground and said, "Don't look at me stupid, my heart is clear! You coax him to play with you, treat you as a cow and a horse, and sleep with you!"
Shen Ye was poked at the center, and his throat narrowed, and he said nothing. He didn't tell Xiahou Yujialou Luolai Palace to find him, and even made use of the fact that he was bullied by Liu to let Xiahou Yu promise to stay. I don't know when, he is used to playing tricks, playing tricks, as long as Xia Houyi can stay, hide him, lie to him? Will Xia Houyi know this? Do you hate him if you know?
It doesn't matter, he tells himself, as long as he doesn't say, who knows if he has ever encountered Galileo?
It was just that he didn't expect to be leaky and concealed, but told the lunatic to see clearly, and Shen sneered sneer: "I see that your brain is getting more confused, and I should go to the Taiyuan Medical Department for a doctor Yes, I'll show you. "
Before the words were finished, Gao Fei herself did not carry it well. Several oily meat buns rolled out of her clothes and rolled on the ground for several laps before stopping.
Shen Yun: "..."
Gao Fei picked up the buns with tears, as if she was a dead child, pouting and mourning: "My buns! Blame you! You are the big bad guy!"
The rain didn't know when it stopped, and the dark clouds scattered over the days, revealing a large disc moon, water accumulating on the ground, and the moon shining, like a layer of broken silver. The two entered the threshold of Shunzhen Gate, and quietly walked up the palace door, walking on the moonlight like snow and frost on the ground. Gao Fei still held the dirty bun, and the tears in her eyes couldn't fall.
Shen Yan sighed, went to the small kitchen, held out a small box of pastries and handed it to Gao Fei, and said, "This is my own body. There are only so many. You can save yourself to eat."
Gao Fei was so flattered that she took the cake into her arms and said with tears: "I'm wrong, you are a good man!"
Shen Yan was speechless, ignored her, and walked back home. He was a little wet, and he stood outside the door and wrung out the rain before pushing the door into the room. Too late, he was worried about waking up Xia Houyu, didn't take a bath, and undressed and lay on the couch. In the darkness, Xiahou Xun on the roll turned over and asked indistinctly, "Master, where have you been so late?"
With a frosty hand, Shen Qi sighed and said, "Release your hand."
"Wow, so long, Master, shouldn't you have sunkies, maybe you will get hemorrhoids, Minger will get some medicine to drink and intestine?" Xia Houzhen was awake, fussed.
Shen Yan raised his eyelids and glanced at Xia Houyi and ignored him.
"How did you sleep on the couch?" Xia Houyun asked.
Shen Huan thought of the phrase "I will accompany you to sleep" said by Gao Fei in the backyard, and jumped heartily. Gao Fei's madman was talking nonsense. He closed his eyes and closed his eyes, Shen said, "It's not convenient for two people to sleep together, so I sleep here."
Xia Houzhen was a little puzzled, Shen Chen's mind always turned around, and the two of them slept well, and they didn't know what they had caused him, so they had to sleep in separate beds? Because she was sleeping in the same place with Xia Ming, Xia Houzhen took a good bath every day and cleaned herself up. Does Shen Yan think that he is dirty, that he smells bad, or that he has an ugly face on his face?
Forget it, he confessed, what happened to love. Xia Houzhen sat up from the bed, stepped on the ground barefoot, and walked to the side of Shen Qin, without saying a word of greeting, hugged Shen Qin directly. Shen Heng was stunned in Xia Hou Xun's arms and called: what are you doing!"
Shen Yan had a hard time in the palace, and he was so thin that he had only a single bone, and he held it with no weight. Xia Houxi easily held the person on the cymbal, and said, "How can there be a reason for the young master to sleep on the couch?" He said, returning to the cot without looking back into the quilt.
Shen Yun was silent for a moment, covered the quilt, and fell asleep.
In the early morning the next day, the sky was bright, the masters and children were still sleeping in the bed, and the slaves were already busy. Pick up the light, pick up the light, and make the breakfast. The fourth place in Ganxi is the place where the palace is transformed. The slaves usually sleep until three shots in the sun. Since Shen Zhi came, although they are not required to get up early like other palaces, they must at least catch the breakfast. Hour.
Because they can eat breakfast, everyone has no complaints. In addition, Shen Ye has always given clear rewards and punishments, and he treats others kindly. Everyone knows that Shen Ye is good, and he can't talk much. When Xia Houzhen was injured, he stayed in the house and slept darkly. Now that he was wounded, he started to do things consciously. The young man was full of energy, and all the chores of sweeping courts were covered.
The eunuchs who swept the floor with him were not too old. The age of twelve or three was a lively time. When they met, they murmured blindly again.
"Hey, Brother Sixi, we just went to the dining room to take breakfast. Guess what I met?"
Xia Houzhen didn't answer yet, and others scrambled to ask, "What did you see? Is it that the new girls who have entered the palace? I heard that all the heavenly ladies are like ordinary people, let our emperor dazzle!"
"Well, you're missing a piece in your crotch, can you still think about a woman?" The gave the man a sideways glance and continued. "Yu Qingchi fell into the water last night. He died so terribly. It looks like dough, it's a nest when poked. "
Some people didn't take it seriously and said, "Isn't that just drowning? How many people have drowned in Yuqing Pond since we started our country? How much is the palace princess, eunuch, palace daughter, cat and dog?" . "
The said: "If he is unlucky, the brother of Yu Linwei said that this man stole the gold cup and silver cup from the dining room in the middle of the night, and it was estimated that he planned to send it to the Liulichang for sale. After a slip, the bridge railing broke, and the man fell down. "
"The emperor newly built a leopard house in Xiyuan. He didn't come to Houyuan for a long time. These eunuchs will not take repairs and repairs seriously, and no one will notice that the railings have cracked. Fortunately, a little who steals things. Which noble person hits this luck, but a bunch of people have to be unlucky! "
Xia Hou interjected: "You have said for a long time, but who has not died yet."
The touched his head and said, "Hey, I forgot to say it. It's Liugong of the dining room."
Xiahou was startled, and did not squeak, and his heart rose up and down. Shen Ye went out last night. Shouldn't it have something to do with it?
Xia Houyi thought how he felt that in all likelihood this matter could not be separated from Shen Yi. Didn't Sixi get him killed because of the teaser? Shen Yan has a small heart and a family background. He read four books, five classics, three outlines, and five constants from a young age. Even though he became a slave, his arrogant temperament cannot be changed. How can he tolerate such humiliation? It would be light not to peel off the skin of the dead eunuch.
How can this person be so bold? Even if Xia Houyun himself, he had to weigh the knife under the emperor's eyelids.
Xia Houxi put down the work in his hands and looked around to find Shen Qi. Shen Ye is not a idler, and the chickens and dogs are in a mess, and I don't know where to go now.
After turning around for a long time, I finally met in the corridor. Shen Zhen just returned from the Needlework Bureau, holding the girl's summer clothes in her hand. People in the palace came to see people serving dishes, such as Zhong Cui Palace and Yong He Palace. The eunuchs hurriedly sent Xia Yi past. Only the four places in Ganxi where they were dismissed by dogs, Shen Yan asked You can get it by urging yourself three or four times.
When I met Xia Houyi head-on, he could not take care of him, but Xia Houyi caught up with him, and whispered, "Liu Deyi is dead, do you know this?"
Shen Min glanced at him and said, "I know, what's wrong?"
Xia Hou looked at his faint look, and wondered whether this matter had anything to do with him, and said, "He really fell into the water himself?"
"Of course not," Shen Min answered quickly, "I did it, what happened? I can't see you still have this kind heart, come running to me and ask for guilt?"
"It's you!" Xia Houyu took his wrist and said, "Will you kill you! Why is this so risky, why don't you discuss it with me?"
"I can do it myself. You can rest assured that you don't care about me!" Shen Xun shook off Xia Hou Xuan and turned away.
Xia Houyi followed him step by step, gritted his teeth and said, "What's your name! You don't treat me as a brother, don't ask me to help, then what do you want me to do, be a vase, be a decoration, and look good?" "
Shen Ye listened and hesitated for a while. Whether they were brothers or masters and servants, Shen Yun himself could not tell. He seemed to have never regarded Xiahou Yun as a brother, but he had never regarded him as a servant. What exactly is Xia Houyi to him?
Shen Ye couldn't understand, was upset, afraid he would keep asking, and quickly said, "Who gives you the face? Are we the same father or the same mother, are you my brother?"
Xia Hou stunned for a while, stopped for a while, yes, Shen Ting never said that he was coming as a brother. After thinking about it for a long time, I thought it was funny. I looked up and Shen Yun had already gone. He rushed over and said, "If you don't want to be a brother, then you can't kill someone!"
"Why? If you can, I can't?"
Shen Zheng was thinking wildly, and heard Xia Houyi say, "You are different!" His voice was astringent. "How can you get blood on your hand with a pen?"
In a word, it was ordinary, but like a sharp blade, it cut the blood of the scarred wound on Shen Min's heart.
A hand holding a pen? These words twirled in the ears of Shen Wei, and the hands holding Xia Yi's hands tightened suddenly, and deep creases appeared on the clothes. How long has he never touched a pen? He was an eunuch, and he didn't even have any pen and ink. Since entering the palace, he touched the broom, poured the pot overnight, and washed his clothes, but he didn't take the pen.
It's ridiculous, Shen Min thought, Xiahou Min is an idiot. Does he think he can go back to the past?
"Xia Houyi, Xie Jinglan is dead, and now it is Shen Ye who is standing in front of you," Shen Ye slowly said, and Qiu Frost on his pale face was generally indifferent. "Shen Ye is a eunuch, a slave, a dog raised by his master. "What pen?"
"You!" Xia Houyu was sad, wanting to say, but did not know what to say, after a long while, he said hardly, "Master, you are not the same as me, I am an assassin, and now I have a lot of debt. There are two or three more, and there are few more. It ’s okay to kill anyone in the future, just leave it to me, and I will help you. Those who deceive you, I will kill you, insult your thief, I will chop it for you!

"What's the difference?" Shen Yan laughed mockingly. "Isn't it different from taking a pen to a knife? You're too naive, Xia Hou. A knife is in your hand, you can take one's life; you have power, you can destroy it. The door of the family; not to mention the anger of the emperor, millions of corpses, and bloodshed for thousands of miles! The pen and ink seal is the dirtiest thing in the world! Do you think that your assassins carry the most debts? No, you should go to Man is the one who sits on the throne of Fengxian Temple and enjoys the worship of all peoples! "
"I, I know, but ..." Xia Hou pursed his lips, and his head was chaotic, scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks for a long time, not knowing what to say.
"You just don't want me to go this way, right?" Shen Min asked faintly.
"Yes, that's right!" Xia Houzhen didn't want to care about how the emperor was. He only knew that Xie Jinglan said that when the Party was in, he retired to the county and healed, and he helped the society. How could Shen Huan become Xie Jinglan's puppet party!
Xia Houyi took a deep breath and said: "Master, you do n’t understand, you ca n’t look back with blood on your hands. Killing is addictive. If you kill it once, you will have a second and a second This time, there will be a third time. You will no longer put your life in your eyes, and you will feel that there is no difference between people and grass. When you die, you die, and when you do n’t, you are gone. Is that so? "
He waited for Shen Min to answer, Shen Min's expression was still faint, like a layer of ice, he turned his head, stared at Xiahou Min, and slowly asked, "Oh? Why not?"
Xia Houyi opened his eyes in disbelief.
"Xia Houyi, I ask you," Shen Ye's eyes were calm, "Why did you kill?"
Xiahou froze and said, "To live."
"So, me too." A very light smile floated from the corner of Shen's mouth, and he whispered, "I have already embarked on this path, even if it's gone, and I'm at a loss. I want to report Aunt Lan's revenge. I want to kill Wei De, I want to take charge of the East Factory, and I want to be the director's handprint. If you don't like to see me like this, go. "
After finishing talking, he smoothed the folds on the summer clothes and stepped out of the corridor without turning his head back. The sky was vast and immense. He walked alone underneath, looking a bit lonely.
Xia Houyi looked at his back, and he had no words for a long time.
After that, Shen Yan and Xia Houzhen did not speak for several days. Shen Yan was doing stuff, regardless of how Xia Houyi thought and thought, Xia Houyi was not idle. He hadn't seen anyone in these days, and didn't know what he was busy with. The two met at night and went to bed with the lights off as usual, saying nothing.
On this day, Shen Ye gave Gao Fei cloth dishes, and the dining room changed a housekeeper. Their diet returned to normal, and Gao Fei rolled happily on the ground. She became obsessed with rouge gouache in the past few days, and painted her face like a monkey's ass. The white powder was too thick, and she fell to the ground as soon as she spoke. Nowadays, her degree of madness can be described as amazing. She is so annoying that even the other two lunatics are dismissive of it. She is afraid that she will fall into the rank of madness. Only Shen Zhen can talk to her calmly.
After finishing the dishes, I walked over, but saw Xia Houyu stood outside the threshold and looked at him.
"What?" Shen Yan's voice was cool.
Xia Houyi took out a three-foot-long wooden knife from the back and held it flat on his hand.
Shen Xuan looked at the wooden knife in confusion, thinking without thinking, could it be that Xia Houzhen thought he would be a scourge in the future and had to be strangled in the cradle, so he wanted to use this wooden knife to stab him to death?
"I'm afraid you'll kill yourself, and teach you a few tricks. If the horse loses its forefoot and is caught in the jail, maybe he can escape with the peerless sword technique." Xia Houyi sighed pretendingly, " Then, you come to me, and when you have time, I can arrange errands for you. "
After speaking, Xia Houyi held the knife in both hands, drawn a sharp arc, and picked the tip of the knife towards Shen Ye.
Shen Yan sneered twice.
"Why, don't you look down on Master's effort?" Xia Hou raised an eyebrow.
Shen Xuan crossed the threshold, passed Xia Houxuan's side, and took the wooden knife from his hand, saying: "See you at the palace wall at this hour tonight."
