The delicious fish meat is like a pinch of fire, swallowing it into the stomach and igniting all the internal organs.
"I heard that Princess Yunxi cried all night." Lin Xin looked into Shen Lou's calm eyes, "Hey, who did you marry in your last life?"
After he died, Shen Lou lived for another seven years, and he couldn't be in his thirties without marrying a wife. It's just that Lin Xin has been deceiving himself and others, and he doesn't want to ask more questions.
Shen Lou picked up vegetables without stopping, mixed some rice with broth, scooped up a spoonful and stuffed it into Lin Xin's mouth, "I never married a wife."
"Huh?" Lin Xin chewed his rice, unable to speak, he could only open his eyes wide to express his surprise and ridicule.
"After you died... the devouring spirits spread, the world was in chaos, and the barbarians almost went to Yongdu." Shen Lou continued to serve Lin Xin with food, seeing those dark blue eyes brighten, he couldn't help laughing.
Lin Houye was happy and decided to set off for the Northern Territory today. Because of Shen Lou's poor health, Yu Jian would have a headache for a long time, so he could only go back by carriage.
Even if the carriage is equipped with deer glass, it can't go fast. The road is snowy and slippery, at least it will take ten and a half months to reach Huanxinghai.
Shen Lou sent his younger sister home first, while he carried Lin Xin into the carriage.
"Brother, I'll go back with the carriage too." Shen Yingying wanted to play with Lin Xin, arguing that she wanted to take the carriage too.
"The barbarian envoy has been detained. The news spread that a war is about to start. Turn around quickly, don't delay." Shen Lou ignored his noisy sister and ruthlessly lowered the car curtain.
It's freezing cold, getting colder the further north you go.
A charcoal fire was burned in the car, and hot tea was brewed. Shen Lou took the drowsy Lin Xin into his arms, and held him to read a book.
Lin Xin opened his eyes in a daze, and found himself sleeping in Shen Lou's arms, and couldn't help rubbing his face on his chest.
Lifting the curtain of the car with one hand, the wind and snow were howling outside, and the cold wind blew in, causing Lin Xin to shiver. Let go of your hands and shrank into the blanket, looked up at Shen Lou's chin, "I said, are you addicted to hugging?"
He obviously only injured his hand, but this man treated him as if all his limbs were crippled, got in the car and hugged him, got out of the car and hugged him.
Shen Lou embraced the person in his arms, without raising his head, he said: "Yes, I will make up for you what I owed in my previous life."
The body in the arms is slender and flexible, and looks very strong, but it is soft in the arms, which is really addictive.
Hearing what Shen Lou said, the smile in Lin Xin's eyes gradually faded, and he sat up with support, "You don't have to do this, everything I do is done according to my heart, you don't owe me anything."
Shen Lou put down the book, looked up at him, stretched out his hand to wrap him in his arms again, and let Lin Xin read the book together by himself, "I also do as I like, if you don't like it, you can say it, if you don't say it, I'll hold it all the time. "
Lin Xin was stunned, leaning against Shen Lou's warm chest, his heart suddenly beat like a drum.
Huanxinghai has been completely covered by frost and snow, and the pine forest has turned into a sea of snow. Snowflakes the size of goose feathers fluttered one after another, but Shen Qirui's hair was dyed white in a short while.
"The Marquis of the Deer is coming, and he is far away to welcome you." Standing at Qiongjin Ferry, Shen Qirui waved away the attendant who was trying to hold an umbrella for him, and raised his hand to salute Lin Xin.
There was no sarcasm or sarcastic confrontation, Lin Xin's treatment in the Shen family in this life really was more than a little better.
Lin Xin didn't deliberately put on a show, and directly saluted Shen Qirui as a junior, "It's cold and freezing, and it's the junior's fault that Mr. Tired came out to soak in the snow."
The murderous reputation of Marquis of the Deer has spread throughout Dayong, and he did not expect to be so courteous. Shen Qirui was a little surprised. Looking at the eldest son who was standing with Lin Xin in a close posture, he understood, smiled a little, and his tone of voice Also easy-going: "Come into the house, where is your master?"
"Master went out to search for medicine to cure the son's illness, and there has been no news for three months." Lin Xin sighed. My master disappeared as soon as he ran away, and he didn't have the habit of sending messages regularly, which made people worry for a while. Now he finally understands the mood of his uncle, and when he sees his master, he will definitely give him a good meal.
Yuan'a Jiuren had arrived ahead of time and was standing in the main hall waiting for orders.
The guards in Xuanyi brought the deer glasses over and neatly stacked them in the hall, which was almost 10% more than the due amount of deer glasses. Lin Xin raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked up at Shen Qirui.
Shen Qirui said that this is a sufficient amount of deer glass, and asking him to check it was quite tacit.
It seems that what happened in the Lin family has spread to the Northern Territory, and Lin Xin is very satisfied. Lin Shujing is reliable in his work, and the method of trying to solve the Hou Luhou's difficulties has been spread among the aristocratic families. Hou Luhou was not as selfless as he appeared, he was taking bribes.
If you don't want to be cut off and lose your fiefdom, you should pay tribute obediently.
Lin Xin deliberately picked a few mistakes and cut off a county in the northern region.
A county is not worth mentioning to the vast northern region. Shen Qirui readily agreed.
The Shen family, which was thought to be the most rigid, turned out to be the first to be flexible. Lin Xin suddenly had a new understanding of this Duke Xuan.
"There are still a few days until the Chinese New Year. The Zhong family's Luli will be inspected after the New Year's Eve. If you don't lose, you can stay in Huanxinghai to celebrate the New Year." After Ah Yuan sealed the Luli, Shen Lou spoke before his father saw off the guests.
"This..." Lin Xin blinked at Shen Lou, but evaded, "I'm an outsider, how can I disturb you?"
"It's no longer an outsider. Your master and I have been friends since we were young, so we treat it as our own home." Shen Qirui immediately persuaded Lin Xin to stay with him, patted Lin Xin on the shoulder, and let the housekeeper arrange it without any explanation.
"I live in Fengjin, so there is no need to clean the guest room." Seeing that Father Shen agreed, Lin Xin agreed unceremoniously, and directly designated the prince's courtyard to live in.
Shen Qirui laughed, teasing him that the two have a good relationship. As if thinking of something suddenly, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Lou, "You have become a Marquis, you should get your name too." Hearing from Shen Yingying that her son was arrested by Zhong's family in Beijing. The boy called "Shen Da Shen Da", which was very inconvenient, since he wanted to meet the same generation as Hou Luhou, it would be much more convenient to have a table name.
Lin Xin, who was drinking tea, almost spit out, "Why, the prince hasn't taken the words yet?"
"Frail, the elders are sympathetic, I didn't take the hair when I tied it." Shen Lou took the paper and opened it for Lin Xin to read. On the printed rice paper, the word "Qing Que" was written squarely.
Finally realizing where he was exposed, Lin Xin covered his face with a cup, "Good word, good word."
Shen Lou looked at him, pursed his lips and smiled.
"Since the word is taken, it can be said that we are close. The emperor mentioned the matter of Princess Shang the day before yesterday." Shen Qirui frowned, "We need to make a marriage earlier, our family cannot marry the princess."
Shen Lou's mother died early, Huan Xinghai has no mistress now, and the marriage of children can only be taken care of by the father, Xuan Guogong.
"The son already has a sweetheart, so the father must not look at him." Shen Lou put away the paper and said lightly.
"Huh? Which family?" Shen Qirui was very surprised. His son hadn't been interested in women since he was a child, and he looked like he was destined to be lonely for the rest of his life. How could he have a sweetheart after half a year after going out
"I haven't made an agreement with him yet, I will tell my father after he agrees." Shen Lou said respectfully.
The cold wind howled, and large flakes of snow fell directly on the face, turned into water droplets and flowed down the neck into the inner shirt, making the fingertips numb from the cold.
The canals in Huanxinghai were all covered with thick ice, and it was impossible to take a ferry, so we had to walk to Fengjin on the ice.
"Do you really have a sweetheart?" Lin Xin stepped on the ice surface covered with straw mats, lowered his head and kicked up a stone. The stone bounced three times on the ice surface and slipped away for a long distance.
Shen Lou looked down at him, "I'll take you to a place."
"Huh?" Lin Xin turned his head, suddenly covered by a black cloak, half dragging and half hugging against Shen Lou's arms, walking forward in the spacious sea of stars.
Zi Shu, Huang Ge and others were all waved back, Shen Lou dragged him all the way to the depths of the frozen lake. It's cold and freezing, even if the sun sets, you can't see the beauty of the starry sky, only the vast snow covers the sky and the earth.
"Here." Shen Lou pulled him to a very secluded old pier, deserted and deserted for a long time. Pulling out Yu Yuan's Sunset Sword, he slowly drew a circle, the sword's aura surged, and a large snowfall was lifted.
"What...something?" Under the ice, there were twinkling stars, Lin Xin looked up at the sky, it was clearly still daytime, how could there be stars in the lake
"Xinghu Stone." Shen Lou chipped away at the ice, and touched a small piece up. It was a dark blue stone, shining in the sunlight, as if holding thousands of stars together.
Yu Yuanjian temporarily acted as a carving knife, and in less than a stick of incense, the palm-sized Xinghu stone was carved into a lifelike deer. The deer has forked horns, slender legs, and a slightly curved front leg, as if walking in the forest.
Lin Xin took the deer and rubbed it lightly with his thumb, "This is the same, do you owe me?"
"I carved one in my last life, and I plan to give it to you at the New Year's tribute banquet." Shen Lou folded his sword into its sheath, and laughed at himself. He didn't know how to carve things at all, so he specially found a stonemason to learn from him. He chiseled over ten kilograms of Xinghu stone, and stupidly carved a small "Qingque" on the tail of the deer.
The meaning contained in this sentence is too deep and too deep for Lin Xin to digest for a while. In her previous life, that indifferent and alienated Shen Qingque carved a deer with her own hands and wanted to give it to him!
Lin Xin clenched the stone in his hand, his lower lip trembling, "Then, why didn't you give it to me later?"
"That day, I happened to see you and Feng Zhong..." Shen Lou sighed angrily.
The pure love of young people was shattered into pieces by misunderstandings by accidents, but it never disappeared one day. And Lin Xin thought that the love he never received until his death actually existed at the very beginning.
"Haha, hahaha..." Lin Xin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and then burst into tears, "So, when you were young, you once liked me, didn't you?"
"Yes." Shen Lou raised his hand and wiped away the warm teardrop with his thumb.
"You don't marry a wife because I'm dead, isn't it?" Lin Xin asked some silly questions persistently with red eyes.
"Yes." Shen Lou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and lowered his head to kiss the corner of his eyes.
"Your sweetheart is me, isn't it?" Lin Xin put his arms around Shen Lou's neck and kissed those thin lips that he thought about day and night.
Shen Lou embraced him, and tilted her head to deepen the kiss.
Yes, I like you, I don't marry a wife because of you, and my sweetheart is you, and I want to find you even if I destroy the world.
The north wind stopped for a while, and large flakes of snow rustled down. The snowflakes floated to the Xinghu stone deer between the fingers, and then turned into water droplets in the warm breath, blending into the earth.
