Chang’an’s First Beauty

Chapter 38: Firelight (catch bugs)

Views:

The bright white moonlight dragged the man's figure very long.

Although the candles in the inner room of Chunxi Hall were dim, the lights on the corridor were still on. He walked in slowly, and it was quiet inside. is asleep.

Lu Yan measured Shen Zhen's back with his eyes, and couldn't help asking himself: For such a big man, a 16-year-old girl, is she really worthy of her previous life, and will she be planted on her in this life

Thinking of this, he felt inexplicably itchy teeth, and even drinking two glasses of cold water could not suppress the fire in his heart.

After calming down, he recalled his recent actions one by one. Whether it was to test her with the incense on Fu Man's body or to test her with words today, it didn't seem like something he would do.

Nor should it be what he did.

The man's brows furrowed, and his face was much heavier than the night outside.

Speaking of Lu Yan's temper, he can't really rely on him. He has been used to being pampered since he was a child, and he has always wanted the moon in the sky, and no one else dared to pick stars for him. If it wasn't for the path of taking the imperial examinations and becoming an official, he suffered a lot, and I don't know what kind of temperament he would have.

Speaking of which, the three girls in the Shen family were probably the first ones that he couldn't resist.

Not to mention that he couldn't resist, Lu Yan even felt that he couldn't afford to offend her.

In fact, a little girl, what can he not understand? The vicious people in the Jingzhao Mansion prison did not dare to think about him when they saw him. If he really wanted to clean up Shen Zhen, it was not impossible.

He can coerce and seduce him, as long as he is ruthless, he can make Shen Zhen obediently like a bird in a cage.

However he couldn't.

Besides, he really made her cry, but in the end it was him who suffered. What about her? Wiping away her tears, she is still the one who goes to bed early and wakes up early.

In vain, he has always thought that he has the ability to strategize, and this specialness to Shen Zhen is only because of his heart disease. The results of it? He didn't have this disease in his last life, and his results were not much better...

Died at twenty-seven, she married someone else, which is really wonderful.

Lu Yan walked to the bedside, untied his girdle, took off his fancy clothes, got up a little and lay beside her, turning over twice in a row.

Since Shen Zhen became his outer room, he has developed the ability to know Yayi by hearing Xian. When he frowned a little, she knew that this person's strange temper had come up again.

She moved in her heart, turned around, and hurriedly moved her quilt to him, and said softly, "Sir, it's cold at night."

I don't know what kind of magic these five words have. It was as if a warm current from the immortal spring in the horizon poured directly into his heart, nourishing his heart and lungs.

He didn't change his face, and gave a low "um".

Perhaps because of the wind just now, Lu Yan's throat was slightly itchy, so he involuntarily coughed twice.

Hearing the sound, Shen Zhen got up, put down his shoes, and was too busy to bring him a glass of water, "Are you tired and sick?"

In Shen Zhen's eyes, although Lu Yan's temper couldn't bear to look directly at him, she still recognized his "professional ability". When he was busy, he often felt that he was too late to sleep or eat. She once thought that his body might be made of iron.

Lu Yan sat up, took it, took two sips, and said solemnly, "It woke you up."

Listening to this cold and solemn tone, who would have thought that there was still something awkward inside

Shen Zhen really didn't hear it. She really didn't care about sleeping. After all, she didn't go out in Chunxi Hall most of the time, she had nothing to do, and could make up for sleep in the afternoon.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhen couldn't help but sincerely said: "I don't mind, it's still more important for the body of adults."

Lu Yan looked down at her eyes, which were sparkling, as if there were stars reflected on the lake. However, the clearer it is, the more it makes him feel like he is singing a one-man show. It seems that happiness and anger are his own business.

He pinched her face feebly, and sighed, "Go to sleep."

The two lay down together and fell asleep together, and he habitually put his hand on her waist.

Time passed like a white horse, and soon, it was the Shangyuan Festival.

Although the momentum of Yangzhou's Shangyuan Festival is not comparable to that of Chang'an, at least the grand scene of the lights of thousands of homes can still be seen. From the South Gate to the end of the Wansui Bridge, there will be lanterns for prayers.

The dress of the twenty-four bridges is even more gorgeous. The bridges are connected with thick hemp ropes, and flags and ribbons of various colors are hung on them, including rouge, purple, dark blue, emerald green, and autumn fragrance. Next to each ribbon, there will be a lantern of the same color.

Lighting up together, it was extremely shocking, as if it really came to the Nine Heavens.

Today Zhao Chong held a banquet at home, and specially invited Lu Yan and Fu Man to go.

When they got into two carriages, Madam Liu looked around and asked Fuman in a low voice, "Miss, why don't you see Butler Yang today?" Butler Yang was referring to Yang Zong.

Fuman pouted and said, "Don't you know the master yet? He must be worried about Aunt Qin."

Seeing this, Mama Liu smiled and comforted Fu Man: "Don't be sulky, madam, I see, the master has you in his heart now, otherwise he wouldn't give you something like that on New Year's Eve."

As soon as the words fell, Fu Man's eyes turned red, "It's good that Mammy didn't mention New Year's Eve. When I mentioned New Year's Eve, I thought of the matter of my father taking Aunt Qin secretly out of the house."

Madam Liu repeated "Oops" and hurriedly said, "I'll accompany you on New Year's Eve, isn't she here to accompany my wife this Spring Festival? The old slave has something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Fuman wiped the corners of his eyes lightly, "Mammy is my closest person, even if you say so."

Madam Liu hurriedly said: "This man has always liked women who are measured, and it's just a little jealous, it's a taste, if the lady is against the Chunxitang every day, if they don't keep it together, they will get tired of it, like For a man like Wei Gongzi, who is fickle and generous, there will be more and more people in the yard, will the lady be angry today, will she be angry tomorrow?"

Fuman nodded, and after a while, he said, "Thank you for your advice." There was an indescribable bitterness in her tone.

Even Mama Liu shook her head when she heard it.

I have to say that Fuman's acting skills have recently reached the point of perfection. For example, going to Chunxi Hall to intercept people, for example, crying to Lu Yan in front of Madam Liu, for example, robbing the housekeeper.

Therefore, in Madam Liu's heart, the little lady is quite motivated. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said so much.

The carriage stopped in front of the governor's mansion, and Lu Yan took Fu Man into the governor's mansion.

Chunxi Hall.

Yang Zong said to Shen Zhen: "Master asked me to take Miss Shen to leave immediately, without waiting for him, and said that the city will meet together."

Shen Zhen was a little nervous.

If he said that he was afraid that he would drag him down and that he would send her away, it would be fine, but he was afraid that it was because of the danger that he let her go first.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhen said, "Is there any danger in today's affairs?"

To say there is no danger would be false. Zhao Chong is suspicious. Since Nie Yuan and Pang Shu entered the capital, he has become extremely sensitive to everything around him, and even the number of soldiers in the government has doubled.

Calling brothers and brothers has not changed, but I don't know who this soldier is guarding.

Right now the imperial power is in full swing. Although the sage does not allow the governor to recruit too many troops, the soldiers stationed in Yangzhou should not be underestimated. What's more, according to what they know, Zhao Chong still has a lot of private soldiers and excellent soldiers. ordnance.

Head-to-head, of course not.

"The reinforcements from the saint's faction are right outside the city. We'll be safe when we go there." Yang Zong's words were also easy to avoid, but Shen Zhen clearly asked that there might be danger today, but he just added a condition.

Docheng, it's still far from Yangzhou, can't you reach it without going over a mountain and a ridge

Shen Zhen knew that it was better than anything to hold him back now, so he hurriedly took Tangyue and left Luyuan with Yang Zong.

Yang Zong took Shen Zhen all the way westward, and the road under their feet was not the road they came from.

As soon as he got out of Yangzhou City, Shen Zhen saw a large number of refugees. They were also refugees with families. Most of them were women, children and children. They were as thin as firewood.

Seeing this situation, Shen Zhen realized why the court wanted to govern these corrupt officials, advocate clean government, labor, and taxation. This is like a burden on the people. If it is too heavy, the people will either be unable to stand up again, or Only to rise up.

After running for a day and a night, they finally reached the end of Wangwang Mountain. Shen Zhen stood on the top of the mountain and looked in the direction of Yangzhou City, "Guardian Yang, did your lord take the waterway or the official road?"

As soon as the voice fell, I suddenly heard a few "bang bang", and on the Yangzhou Canal not far away, two boats raised a large amount of fire...
