Chapter 69: Lang heart is iron

Xia Houzhen sat in the veranda with a rabbit lantern, Rongxiang's son Rong Er, and a mother's daughter in the house waited eagerly beside him. They were only four or five years old. Chan's cheeks and brows were also lightened with rouge, like a good fortune boy next to a bodhisattva.
Xia Houyi picked out the softened reeds from the water basin, first set up the skeleton, twisted the two reeds to make a waist, and then pulled out two from the waist to cross and knit together. Add a horizontal bar in the middle of the waist. Then pierced his head, his head was easy to knit, and two circles were stuck together, and his ears were pricked. I opened a lantern stand and finished it.
The two little boys looked at each other for a moment, and Xia Houyi inadvertently looked up, and saw the little girl rescued last night standing behind a corridor pillar in front. Lianxiang said that her name was Li Miaoyu, a sister-in-law of the Li family, and she had no mother. She must have been harshly treated by her mother. She should have filled the Jiaofang Division, and Shen Zheng gave a message to Dali Temple, changed her into an official slave, and placed it in Shenfu.
She changed into a new dress, a blue-blue bitch, a azure horse-faced skirt, peeking out with black eyes, still not talking. When Xia Houzhen found her, she brushed away.
Xia Hou smiled and looked down. He was afraid of the children breaking, and paste three layers of kraft paper. Then use Zhu Mo to dangle his eyes and hang it on the light pole. A small tassel fell under it, and he looked up, two fat round rabbits dangling by his hand. The two children cheered, enough to catch the rabbit. Xia Houyi raised the lantern and said, "Go and bring that sister."
The child shouted well, jumping around and dragging her sleeve, the girl almost cried when she looked at it, rubbing it over. Xia Houyi pierced another lantern, nodded his eyes, hung the poles, and issued them one by one, saying, "Everyone has a share!"
The two children ran away cheering and holding lanterns, Li Miaoyu held the lanterns and stood still.
"Say something to me?" Xia Houyi asked her.
She slowly took out a piece of sheep fat jade from her arms, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and handed it to Xia Houyi.
"For me?"
Li Miaoyu nodded and said, "Thank you for saving me." She had a very low voice, like a mosquito, and it took Xia Houyu a long time to hear it. She lowered her head and said, "This is what my mother left for me. The mother said, Zhi En wants to report. I have no money. I only have this jade pendant for you."
Xia Houyun laughed, rubbing her hair, and said, "I ca n’t ask for what your mother left you, so please keep it for yourself. It ’s not too late to give me money when you are rich. I am not greedy, you give me A copper plate will do. OK, let's play. "
Li Miaoyu made a loud noise, holding a rabbit lantern, and ran away. Xia Houyi stretched his waist, packed up the water basin and kraft paper, and went to the Shenyang courtyard.
Shen Yuan's yard is very sparse. He doesn't like others entering his site. Only a few young sister-in-law and lotus are responsible for sweeping. In the dim sky, the shadow of the daughter-in-law wandering on the court, the wind blew, and a rustling sound. His yard is not like the exquisite beauty of other places in the house, like the dignified landscape in literati paintings. Those places are for hospitality and for others to see. Only this yard is his own world.
Think of it this way, Shen Zhen is really a contradictory person.
Obviously powerful, but self-disciplined like a monk, not appetite, red powder, large courtyard, with the exception of two dry tanks, a pear tree, there is no other scenery. The blue wall of the blue tile is as cold as a ruin, without the slightest popularity. Others could only see him wearing a belt and wearing a drag when he entered the temple. He was surrounded by civil and military officials, but he could not see the white clothes of Su Yi who lived in the courtyard.
Xia Houzhen sat in the yard for a while, and felt sleepy, and went into the house to snore.
He slept soundly, noisy outside, the account was suddenly opened, and bright light came in. Xia Houyun opened his eyes stupidly. Several young men dragged him in all directions. He suddenly woke up and struggled desperately. Squeeze out of the man's seam, and by the way take the clothes on the sandalwood shelf, and startled and exclaimed, "What are you doing!"
"Bold minions! Lazily sneak into the master's house while the master is away. Lianxiang, call her!" A sharp voice came from a woman at the door, and Xiahou looked over. A rich woman stood at the door and combed Fallen horses, full of beads, two sapphire pendants in their ears, twinkling in the sun, like two drops of dew that will not fall.
A slave helped her in and sat on the drum stool. Previously, she couldn't see clearly against the light, but now Xia Houzhen saw her appearance. People look good, round a large basin, looking very blessed, that is, too much powder to add a little old-fashioned. The current woman has no makeup and her mother does not know her. Xia Hou can't figure out her age.
There is only one master of Shen Fu, Shen Yun. There was a shout called his minion in the flat, and he couldn't figure out what she was doing, so he made a stubborn rule, saying, "The villain has a clumsy eye, I don't know where the wife belongs? The governor's yard will not let others Come in, Madam is better to move faster. "
A lot of people came in outside, and Xia Houyi turned and looked out, and saw a bunch of servants moving underneath, and the two cylinders of dry lotus were removed, a load of fragrant flowers, peony flowers, and chamomile, and several others. The pot of pomegranate flowers, stuffed into the yard, was instantly red. Others hung palace lights on the trees, red and green, and various colors playing together, and chickens and dogs jumped.
Xia Hou is awkward. What the is going on?
The woman gave him a cold look, and said, "Who am I? I'm the head mother of this mansion!"
Xia Houyun was shocked, when did Shen Yun have another mother! ?
She held up a tea cup and sipped her tea in a ritual manner, sighing: "I know that the governor does not come back often, and it is also great to treat others. However, some people who don't have long eyes, pedal their noses. On the face, the master is not there, and you will be the king! I still saw it today, but I did n’t see it in the past? Who knows what you have done as a slave, it ’s not necessary to sneak out the family floor! Tzu, let me be this wicked person. Come, take this sneaky thing off, don't be too much, hit twenty boards, sell it, and don't allow him to enter Shenfu again! "
Xia Houyi: "..."
Xia Houzhen didn't deal with women very much. He had hardly seen any normal woman in his life, and almost had a shadow in his heart. He daringly said, "Mrs. misunderstood. The younger is not the servant of the house, but the official of the factory. The governor's yard rest was promised by the governor, and I don't believe you ask the governor. "
Lianxiang hurried over and said, "Mrs. Madam, what a misunderstanding! Officer Xiahou, like the slave, is the old servant of the governor. He has saved the governor in water and fire several times, and has a deep relationship. Xiahou officer does not need to report when walking in the house. , Do n’t shy away, this is well known to the government!

"Oh? Is this so?" Zhu Xia looked for a while, Xia Houyi, wearing a black ramie shirt, said that it was a little bit inconspicuous, and a bit ugly, then he evoked a painless and itchy smile, "Otherwise How do we say that the governor is kind-hearted! I am the clearest of the governor. I am nostalgic for the old. The old yellow calendar of more than ten years ago is still good to others. However, some people must have a sense of self-knowledge. , Knowing who he is. The governor gave him a decent face, but he couldn't stick it with his face! "
Zhu Xia picked out a few gold and silver protagonists from the purse and gave them to the servants who were waiting nearby. He said, "If you come to the house during the festival, I can also guess what it means. The emperor still has straw shoes, let alone ours. Governor. Well, it ’s a reward for you. Take it to the ambassador. There are many things in the house today, and the governor has to come back at night.
Fu Xun held a stack of gold and silver jewels in front of him. Xia Houzhen gave Zhu Xia a slight look, but did not pick up the silver. He said goodbye and turned out.
The forest is big, it really has all the birds. No, he is a big man, and can't care about a woman who is not sensible.
Lianxiang twisted the papa, followed behind Xia Houyi, and came out angrily: "What kind of person is this! Swinging the mighty style here, it really is when the young master takes her to heart pain! Annoying old lady! Xiaoyin Today, you go back first. When I look back, I will tell the young master to see if the young master will not kill her! "
Xia Houzhen said, "Who the is this guy?"
Lianxiang kept talking, struggling for a long time before she said, "Forget it, I can tell you! The master didn't let me say it, but I was so uncomfortable in my heart!" She pulled Xia Houyi and went to a quiet place Earthly, Tao said, "She was the food that the emperor gave to the young master!"
Xia Houyi was shocked. It turned out that Shen Li already had a daughter-in-law!
"Xiao Xun, you walked in the rivers and lakes in the past, you do n’t know about the palace house! These masters and nobles are nice to say, and I will give you a daughter-in-law and help you to set up a family, but it is actually like a cat and a dog They themselves looked at the festival and looked happy! They didn't want to think about it, our master, long ago, already long after the big sin ... "Lianxiang fell to tears, took a swab, took a breath, and said, "It's long been inhumane! A woman puts her eyes in front of her, and can't ... isn't that poking heart!"
Xia Houxi frowned, "There is no other way to pass this woman off? I haven't touched her anyway."
Lianxiang shook her head and said, "How can it be! She is the niece of the queen's body. She is eating right on the bright side, isn't she an eyeliner secretly! The young master has some power, but after all, he is not the master, so how can you say no? This woman, when she comes to our house, will be a demon all the time, and she wo n’t feel comfortable without doing anything. To put it bluntly, it ’s not just for prestige! She is in the palace to serve people. When she comes to our house, Master, I'm afraid that others don't know it. This time I took you again, Xiaoyu, I'm really sorry! "
Xia Houyi shook his head and said that it was okay. He lowered his head and thought for a while, and laughed: "Okay, anyway, I haven't bought any food today, and I can't open the house. I'll just stay here and leave, and see how he can take me. Xia Houzheng adjusted her appearance, strode back with a big stride, lotus scented, followed by a broken step.
Zhu Xia is still in the courtyard, sitting at the Eight Immortals table, the main door is open, she stands high, pointing at the servants under the patio, telling them how to arrange the flowers and how to put the porcelain. Xia Houyi came in by the Yanxian knife, and the Malaysian golden sword sat down at the Eight Immortals table, and the Yanxian knife slammed on the table. Zhu Xia jumped in shock, stood up and pulled out a few steps, covering his heart, and trembled, "You ... why are you back again!"
Lianxiang stood beside Xia Houyi, and was a little bit dull.
Xia Houyi looked at Zhu Xia with his head on his head, and raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his eyebrows were full of sulking.
"Xunzi has no idea. In the next Xia Hou Xun, it is the worship brother of the governor, Su Wen Xun Zi's fame and admiration for a long time, and today I see, it really is extraordinary!" Xia Hou Xuan grinned and said, "Xun Hou, or the two of us Just a moment! "
Zhu Xia's eyebrows stood up and said: "I have something to talk to you! Come here, drag this splashy skin down!"
Immediately there were several servants coming up to drag people, looking strange, it seemed that they were brought by this woman. Xia Houyi flicked his sword with his thumb, and Yan Yan's sword made a cut, saying, "Swords don't have long eyes, guys. Anyway, it's in the domain of the governor, and it's not appropriate to see the disaster of blood." Shivering and talking again.
Xia Houyi took a step ahead and said, "Xunzi, my little brother advises you to think twice before acting. The younger brother and the governor are fatal friendships, and you are noble and respectful. I don't know what it means to be fatal." He rolled up his sleeves and showed her an arm The scar on the face, "Look, this one almost wiped out one of my arms, just for the governor. And this one, this one, this one here, it's all!"
Zhu Xia held those scars that were scary, and his heart was gone. At first she thought it was a poor person who came to fight against the autumn wind, and the governor did not want to rush to the old, she came to be this wicked. It now looks like it has some weight. Zhu Xia piled up with a smile and said: "It turned out to be Xiahou brothers. They all blame the sister-in-law for having no eyesight and misunderstanding the younger brother. Come, watch tea!"
Xia Houzhen and Zhu Xia were sitting with big eyes and small eyes. Zhu Xia was upset and wished that he would leave earlier. After a while, Shen Xing returned, would it be impossible to have dinner with the rogue at the same table? She also wants to be with Shen Chen and enjoy the moon and rabbit together! Expect it to be, after all, a fan, how can there be truth at the same table as the Lord. Zhu Xia still didn't know the bottom, calling people to bring wine, a few dishes, and greeted Xia Houyi. I hope he gets drunk and lifts people away.
Who would have thought that Xia Houzhen did not get drunk for two pots of wine, sat down firmly, and looked like he could fight for three hundred.
Zhu Xia: "..."
After finally getting dark, Shen Ye finally returned from the palace. Xia Houyi and Zhu Xia sat face to face in the hall and heard the sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, Zhu Xia stood up happily. In the dim sky, Shen Fengfengchen walked into the door, glanced at it, his eyes were red and green, and he thought he had gone the wrong way. Turning his head again, he saw Zhu Xia standing by the door, while Xia Houyi sat at the table and grinned at him.
Zhu Xia stepped out of the threshold and took a small step to catch up. No one knew a dark shadow rushed around, blocking her in front of her and grabbing Shen Zhen.
"Xiao Xun, you can come back!" Xia Hou Xuan took Shen Xuan's hand with one hand, holding Shen Xuan's waist lightly with one hand, and led him to walk in, sitting at the table, and not forgetting to command his descendants, "Mali Above ground! "
"Xiao Xun?" Zhu Xia shouted.
Xia Houyi patted his head and said, "I was happy for a while and called out Xiaoming! Xunzi had no idea. I had a deep friendship with the governor and always called Xiaoming. I called him Xiaoying and he called me Xiaoyan. "After that, he turned to ask Shen Zhen," Yes, Xiaoyan? "
Shen Yan looked at him. Under the shadow of the lamp, Xia Hou squinted his eyes, and a pair of black eyes were mixed with lights, like golden fluorescent light. The laugh is too exaggerated, the play is too obvious, but ... it is a bit cute. Shen purses her lips and smiles, "No."
Xia Houyi did not expect that Shen Yi would tear down his desk, and suddenly hesitated.
Zhu Xia was so happy that she was about to speak, but Shen Ye said, "You remember wrong, I always called you Grandma. There are too many people calling you Xiaomao, but this grandma can only be called by me alone. "
Xia Hou stunned, and suddenly realized that he was still holding Shen's hand and wanted to release it, but Shen Yan held it with his backhand to keep him from moving. He was a little overwhelmed, their hands clasped under the table, fingers crossed. Shen Ye's hand was cold, which was the root cause of the fall when he was a child. He couldn't cover it. His palms were held by him. It was cool and shameless. Xia Houyu realized that something was wrong.
Zhu Xiaqiang smiled and said, "The supervisor is really nostalgic, I can't think of your deep friendship."
"Not only deep?" Shen Yan smiled softly. "Ama's mother was injured for me, and then she died for a long time. Ama herself suffered a lot of injuries for me. I owe Ama, it will never end. "
Zhu Xia said arrogantly: "Is there such a thing in the past, why didn't the brothers Xia Hou talk to the body? There were many misunderstandings before, and I hope that Xian Xi will not take it to heart." She sat down beside Shen Zhen and said, " The virtuous brother is the benefactor of the Lord, and naturally is the benevolent benevolent. In the future, if the virtuous brother has any difficulties, just talk with the uncle, and the uncle will definitely help. "
Xia Houyi frowned and said to Shen Yan, "What are you talking about? What does my mother's business have to do with you?"
Shen Ye didn't answer, and what else Xia Houye wanted to say, the servant served the dishes and set them on the table.
Xia Houyu closed his mouth, and his hand was still in Shen's arms, and he pulled out unconsciously, Shen Ye couldn't let go. He glanced down at him, the latter drew down his eyelashes. Under the candlelight, the long, curved eyelashes were like moth wings, and under the eyes there was a faint shadow, a kind of gentle beauty. He couldn't see the deep look, so he just gave up, and then saw Zhu Xia sitting next to Shen Yan, a little tight, and a little uncomfortable in his heart, and said, "How can people who come out of the womb don't understand the rules?"
Zhu Xia said for a moment, "What?"
Xia Hou sighed and said, "I think it ’s because the governor is too indulgent to the sister-in-law. The younger brother and the governor tell the story, the sister-in-law stands on the side, and the tea is poured. The reason is which house has a daughter-in-law who comes to the table. I was waiting for the Pengmen tenants, and my mother-in-law should also eat in the kitchen. Why is the sister-in-law so stable? "
Zhu Xia stood up stiffly and grinned, "Xiandi said yes, yes."
Shen Yan smiled invisibly, and finally let go of Xia Houyi's hand, took hold of chopsticks and made dishes for him.
Zhu Xia stood on one side and looked at it with grief. Originally she should have opted for Shen Xun to watch the moon, now she is seated in Xia Hou Xun, and she can only stand next to starving.
By the time they finished eating, it was dark. The moon was round and hung on the dark sky, like a thin piece of paper-cut.
Xia Houyi set up a pergola and looked at the moon, feeling that the moon was large and round, a bit like Zhu Xia's face plate.
There was a fragrant case under the patio, and in the middle sat a white clay rabbit wearing a red gown and a blessing written on his chest. He smiled with a squinting eyes and looked very gratifying. Zhu Xia was behind Shen Zheng, and he wanted to worship with him. Xia Hou Xun stepped in and said sorry, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, he grows bigger, and the sister-in-law stands farther away."
Zhu Xia was so angry that her mouth was crooked. She and Shen Xuan were nice, with a Xia Hou Xuan in the middle. Seeing this, Lianxiang set up an additional futon under the incense case. Shen Yan looked in his eyes, but he did not stop. So Shen Xun and Zhu Xia left and right, Xia Hou was in the middle, and the three of them knelt on the futon together, worshiping for three weeks with fragrant incense.
After staying up, Zhu Xia asked Shen Yun what he wished. Shen Yan did not answer, but asked, "What did you promise?"
Zhu Xia shyly bowed his head and whispered: "There is nothing to ask for, and the Governor is born with people who are rolling in the rich dust, and everything is available. I just hope that the Governor is peaceful and happy."
"Roll in the rich dust?" Xia Hou smiled.
Zhu Xia was annoying when he heard what he said, and he took a sigh of relief, saying, "What's the point of Xian Xian?"
"I think the governor is a man who has been grazing sheep in the snow and ice for nineteen years."
With that said, everyone was stunned. Zhu Xia hid his mouth and laughed: "The shepherd is Su Wu, and the governor has not been arrested by Fan Bang. What is the relationship with Su Wu? The brother Xiahou used this allusion so unskilled. However, our governor is indeed a proud and unyielding Characters are barely able to catch up. "
Shen Yan looked up at the moonlight in the court. Only he understood that what Xia Houyi was talking about was not unyielding, he was like a man in winter, and his heart was like stopping water.
Shen Ye looked at the sky and said to Zhu Xia, "It's getting late, are you going to rest? I'll send you?"
He couldn't shake the affirmation in his words. Zhu Xia Ben wanted to stay a little longer. Shen Xun had already picked the lantern and waited for her, so he had to follow it. Xiahou Yunyuan wanted to follow, and Shen Yun let him stay where he was.
Silent all the way, the servant fell far behind, and Shen Jing shook the palace lamp in his hand, illuminating the larger place under his feet. Zhu Xia throbbed in his heart, waited so long, and finally waited to be alone with him. She deliberately slowed her pace, and Shen Yun noticed that she was a little younger, and her corridors were twisted, with leaf shadows clustering around, Zhu Xia slightly bent her mouth, and felt that at this moment, heaven and earth belonged to them alone.
"Xiahou is from a folk background, and he has a temperament. You have to bear more." Shen Yan said as he walked.
"Why does the body look like him?" Zhu Xia kept smiling. "He talks interestingly, but he feels interesting."
"Is that so?" Shen Yan smiled, "I used your rouge today?"
Zhu Xia nodded and said, "The governor will pick colors very well.
"You are well-born, and you can look good with just a few rubs. I heard that the Persian snail is also very good. Next time, I will try to find some for you."
Zhu Xiahan said with a smile: "The governor has only this intention. It can only be used by the maiden. It is only necessary to use copper dais for the body. It is not necessary to be so troublesome."
At her yard, Shen Min stopped at the door and passed the palace lantern to the maid. Zhu Xia was in his heart, so long, why did he finish it all at once?
"Do you want to use the best of nature, how about your mother? Afraid I can't find it?" Shen Yan smiled lightly, his smile was not deep, and his lips were slightly shallow, but his smile was better than spring breeze. And be kind.
Zhu Xia has always liked him, like his looks, and his gentleness. She had never seen him lose his temper, and was gentle and gentle with everyone. She knew that he was inhumane, and that he didn't like others to see his scars, but because of such a disability, she felt that she was worthy of him.
She looked up at him, and he also looked down at her slightly. Porcelain white's face had a slight smile, a kind of tenderness and pity. Zhu Xiafu got out, said goodbye to him, turned around and slowly walked into the courtyard, walked a bit, turned his head again, and wanted to see him again. He was still standing there, looking far away.
He likes her. She was convinced, something seemed to be falling in her heart, and she made a loud noise, withering. She ran over, in a hurry, as if the person before her was gone. Shen Yan gently held her breathlessly and asked, "What's wrong?"
She lowered her voice, and only the two of them could hear, "Beware of the new Prohibited Army commander Wan Bohai."
The smile on Shen Yan's face deepened, and she watched her enter the room, with the lights on. He turned around and walked back to the main courtyard.
