Xia Shang originally planned to put the little daughter-in-law at home who was forced to come back by his wife to wait and see what she said. Who would have expected that she would need help at this time and there was no one around her, so she would have to take the initiative to go there.

Check your tone.

Xia Shang thought for a while and decided that this was fine. If he really left people alone at home and ignored them, he would definitely feel bad when he thought about it in the future.

Having made up his mind, Xia Shang went out.

When I went out and took a look, I realized that dusk had passed and night had fallen.

This day passed so quickly in a hazy way!

In the West Wing, there are six clusters of beautiful buildings scattered around the back garden. This land is the house of the neighbor's Aunt Liu, and it seems that it has been bought. The West Wing bedroom is more beautiful than the one Qin Huairou lives in.

The carved galleries and painted buildings are all made with superb craftsmanship. The whitewashed walls and green tiles match the surrounding flowers and plants, just like the fruits dotted on the cake.

There is a room in the west wing. The door is closed, the window is light-transmissive, and two small lanterns hang from the eaves in front of the door, illuminating the doorway in red. It is simple but full of joy.

Xia Shang arrived at the door and pushed it open directly.

When the people inside the house heard the noise outside, they sat on the bed and nervously grabbed their knees.

Xia Shang locked the door, sat down in front of the small round table made of white jade and inlaid with pear wood, and looked around the room.

Xia Shang came here yesterday. The decoration here is delicate and elegant, but every object is of high quality and is not simple at all. There is a screen between the living room and the bed, and on the screen is a lifelike

Pictures of plain women. In the pictures, women of various colors undress and take off their belts, showing off their figures. Their slender attitude is somewhat inconsistent with the elegant style of the room. They were moved in temporarily.

Xia Shang was a normal person. Although he was repelled in his heart, he was still curious. He wanted to see what the woman behind the screen was doing through the faint light. But before he could see clearly, the woman got off the bed and walked around the screen.

, stopped not far from Xia Shang.

"Master."

The weak and shy voice was accompanied by the woman's full blessing.

After the sound, the woman came closer and stood in front of Xia Shang with her head lowered, as if waiting for questions.

It can be seen that this woman is very cautious, very pretentious, and a little nervous.

This morning's tea ceremony was not perfect. Perhaps it was Xia Shang's attitude that made this woman feel a little worried.

Xia Shang looked at her and felt that this woman looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere.

After thinking about it, it became clear that there were so many girls in Liuzhuang at that time, and this girl was Mrs. Liu's daughter, so she should have met her once at the poetry meeting.

When it comes to looks, this girl really has no choice, especially her smoky eyebrows that are more sad than a sad face. Even the best painter in the world can't describe her three points of sorrow and innate softness.

His attitude is not unattractive. Even if he is not strict, he still has an attitude that makes people feel pity for him.

In addition to her face, she was wearing a light red gauze dress, covering her pink and sculpted skin, looming, revealing her bellyband with pink flowers on a white background, and a slight bulge on her chest that made people think.

Unfortunately……

Still a little smaller.

In ancient times, it was February 8th, when a woman was about to get married, which was the time when a woman was at her most beautiful.

But in Xia Shang's mind, a sixteen-year-old girl is not yet an adult! She has to eat what she wants, right?

Xia Shang himself couldn't figure out whether he was pursuing spiritual love more or whether the other person was young and had to face him with a rigid attitude.

"Your name is Liu Ruyan?"

"yes."

"Did you know that I was seriously injured and was recuperating in Liuzhuang?"

"I know that I sent medicine to the young master on another day, but the young master is still in a coma."

Xia Shang nodded, and the topic turned to business: "I have something to ask you for help."

Liu Ruyan was frightened: "Follow the young master's orders."

"Do you know Yazhi at home?"

"Never heard of it."

Xia Shang paused, then briefly recounted Yazhi and today's events: "I just wanted to give you a few words of comfort."

Liu Ruyan still looked cautious, and Yingying replied: "I'll try my best."

Xia Shang nodded, looked at Liu Ruyan, stood up and prepared to leave.

Seeing that Xia Shang was about to leave, Liu Ruyan's expression changed and she hurriedly asked, "Where are you going, young master?"

"It's getting late, I need to rest."

"Isn't the young master...in the concubine's house..."

Xia Shang didn't know how to answer, so he simply kept silent and opened the door.

But hearing the door close and close, Liu Ruyan froze in the room, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Liu Ruyan was a smart person, and he came from a wealthy family, so he had to hide his arrogance. Liu Ruyan was still a little repulsive towards this marriage. Could it be that he had seen Xia Shang's talent and learning at Liuzhuang?

This marriage will definitely not go smoothly. Let's not talk about marrying as a concubine. There is a gap between the appearance of the Xia family and the Liu family.

Liu's tea is well known in Dahua and its reputation is well-known.

However, the Xia family's wine has experienced a big change. Although it has eased somewhat today, it cannot be compared with the heritage of Liuzhuang. With Liu Ruyan's status, it is not an exaggeration to marry into the Xia family and become an equal wife.

Liu Ruyan originally thought that by making so many sacrifices, she would gain some sympathy and love from her husband. She didn't want to suffer such a cold reception on the first day she entered the house. Now, it is a shame and humiliation for a woman to not share the same room with her on the big day.

!

Watching this empty room with red candles, Liu Ruyan shed tears like rain. She must not be able to sleep tonight.

Xia Shang went back to his house and thought about it all night, and decided to go to the Guanyin Temple the next day.

To be precise, Xia Shang wanted to escape from the women at home. He always felt that without his wife to control him at home, he would not be able to handle the girl's thoughts well.

There are many Guanyin temples around Yangzhou City, but the one with the best incense is the one on Daqingshan Mountain next to Xiaoqingshan Mountain. It is said that the Guanyin Temple on Daqingshan Mountain is the most efficacious, and everything the people ask for can come true.

Therefore, the incense in the temple is strong and there is an endless stream of pilgrims coming and going.

It was originally a small Guanyin Temple. Thanks to donations from pilgrims, it has now become a large temple fair built around the mountain.

Xia Shang took Xiaoyue with him, rode the carriage all the way to the foot of Daqing Mountain, and then walked up the mountain.

Not because the mountain road is difficult to walk, but to express respect for the Bodhisattva and my sincerity.

Regardless of their status, people will hike up when they reach the foot of the mountain.

On the mountain road, where five or six people can walk abreast, the people up and down formed a long dragon. Going up from the foot of the mountain, countless people were holding each other's hands, extending to the mountainside covered by dense forests.

The weather is good today and there are more pilgrims than usual.

Xiaoyue walked in front, jumping up and down, looking back from time to time and telling the young master to hurry up.

Xia Shang took his time and went to the couch on the steps up the mountain. He didn't want to hear a voice from behind him: "Mr. Xia."

The voice was familiar, so Xia Shang instinctively turned around and saw Mrs. Sai walking over with the support of her maid Xiaoqing.
