Chapter 211 Inaction, sometimes there is and there is nothing
When they said goodbye the next day, Lengxiang Oiran and Zhou Lai Village owner seemed to have made an appointment. They both had dark circles under their eyes. Only Sheng Qiuxiao was in good condition. In order to avoid suspicion, she deliberately stood far away and followed Shen Yuan obediently. He drove Xiaoju, the maid he had always loved, to carry his luggage.
Yin Huai'an didn't want Shen Yuan to leave, because there were already people who couldn't hold it in anymore. He was afraid that if he left the state and came to the protection of the villa, there would be trouble at any moment. Shen Yuan said, however, that man could be the crown prince and would stand firm for many years. , you must know how to weigh the pros and cons. If you want to make a fuss about her, you are afraid that it will be too late to protect her. How can you be so stupid as to destroy your own chess piece?
"Don't worry, even if he wants to be polite before fighting, my brother is still far away in the northwest. Even if he catches me, he can't do anything. Those in high positions are good at fooling people. Who knows whether he is playing tricks on others?" Shen Yuan said. He said, "Besides, if you give me a waist knife, at worst we will both be destroyed. I'll kill him first to take my back."
The woman has bright eyes and a sweet smile, which made the owner of the Zhoulai village laugh. She is very smart and good at grasping the key points. She speaks in different tones to different people, and she is open-minded and less embarrassed.
"That's it... that's all. You have to be careful when you go back. If there is anything wrong, remember to send someone to tell me and I will pick you up immediately." Yin Huaian calmly warned.
Naturally, these words were not enough for Qiu Xiao to know. Shen Yuan got up early, held a lantern to guide the way, and traveled under the stars. He came back before Xue's mother set up the meal. He met Yin Huai'an again in advance, explained the general trend, and reached a unified agreement. Opinion - No further delay, just have breakfast and return immediately.
"It's just that when I leave, do you want someone else to stay?" Shen Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at Yin Huai'an with eyes full of drama, forcing him to blush.
"Leave whatever you want, don't leave anyone behind." The owner of Zhoulai Village rolled his neck and looked directly at the beams, "You still have the nerve to say that you can just come by yourself, and you have to bring many people to eat and drink, I remember. Pay the bills and wait until the big brother asks for food."
The morning light in Xixi dyed a few wisps of clouds red, like cinnabar ink accidentally dripping into clear water. The wisps were curling and graceful, creating miraculous lines. The smoke from the stove was blue-grey, slowly coming out of the chimney mouth, at most only a few wisps. It can rise into the mid-air, then start from the top, return little by little, and gradually form the shape of a lotus. It spreads like a cloud of rain, and the dust flies farther and farther until the entire smoke column disintegrates, and it only takes a blink of an eye.
Looking at the past from a distance, the smoke and clouds are very different, but when they are about to disappear, they merge into one at the edge of the void of heaven and earth. They are washed and soaked by the morning light, almost losing all differences. They are also gorgeous and blurred, which makes people see through it, and they are mesmerized. .
So... the end does not necessarily mean the end of everything, but may it be the presentation of a new round of better things?
Even if you die into dust, is there still a chance to turn around, break out of the siege, prove the right path, realize reincarnation, and be reborn in Nirvana?
After seeing Shen Yuan off, Yin Huai'an stood in the wind and stared at this scene in a daze for a long time.
Cangwu, the God of Joy, has always been revered by the Suzaku. Zhoulai Villa also has a shrine dedicated to the beautiful and proud Sparrow Goddess. However, Yin Huaian rarely visits and does not believe that there is a true god in the world. At this moment, he had doubts. , began to think about whether faith could be something like this - he always insisted that it is better to believe in God and heaven and earth than to believe in the blessing of ancestors and be lucky in three lives.
Shen Yuan didn't want to be noticed, so he walked in a hurry. He folded his lapels and bent down slightly. The hood of his cloak was lowered on his eyebrows. A circle of dense snow-white hair inevitably blocked his sight. Without paying attention, he bumped into a figure head-on. , the two people shouted at the same time, Shen Yuan grabbed a cluster of rockery rocks, and the other party staggered back two steps without falling.
"Why is it you?"
Wolf raised his head in confusion, and saw Sheng Qiu Xiao on the other side. Shen Yuan's nerves immediately tensed up, and for some reason he touched his waist with one hand and touched the cold scabbard.
After taking a closer look, Shengqiu Xiaozhuang had straight hair and was holding a stove. There was frost on the ground, and there was a circle of overlapping footprints around her, as if she was waiting here deliberately, but no one came for a long time, and she was wandering in circles again. Or maybe you are rushing to meet someone, but suddenly stop midway and wander around, not knowing where to go or where to stay.
Either way, it is not what Shen Yuan wants to see. Yin Huaian and his brother and sister are like brothers, but outsiders will not pay so much attention to it. If word gets out, they will only say that Lengxiang oiran has a tryst with a foreign man, and that being noble is fake, and that he is debauched. It's true.
Perhaps sensing the unkind aura of the cold beauty, Sheng Qiuxiao hurriedly waved her hands and matched her signature gentle smile to show that she had no ill intentions: "Sister, don't worry, listen to me first."
Qiu Xiao has always been a prudent person who does not step into the trap, but she would actually follow and spy on her. Shen Yuan is really suspicious. It seems that they have already met, and the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. They are both women, so naturally they will not fight for scalps and blood. , you might as well make it clear, the window paper will break sooner or later, it’s better to have a good time.
So Lengxiang Oiran nodded, and the two women, one Su and one Yan, could join hands and sit down on a round stone bench in the forest for the time being, having a long conversation like they did in the building.
It was cold in the morning, and Qiu Xiao was still wearing the narcissus cotton skirt. The upper body was changed into a short green velvet satin jacket, with two pairs of aqua laces on the sides. The material was 70% new, and the cuffs were rolled with small jasmine flowers. The color was enough. It was bright, but it didn't look like it could keep out the cold. Shen Yuan couldn't help but frown slightly, wondering what this woman's intention was.
"Why does sister look at me like this?" Qiu Xiao blinked, looked down at herself with the oiran's eyes, and immediately understood the reason. It was freezing cold, her clothes were thin, and the silk hand stove in her arms was small and exquisite, and it could only warm the palms of her hands. There are charcoal and fires everywhere in the villa, and you shouldn't go out like this.
Shen Yuan said: "No matter what you are here for, why bother to dress like this? Could it be that when I didn't know about it, you made a mistake in Lengxiang Pavilion, and others looked down on you and deducted your expenses? Although I don't care about things, my ears are still strong. It’s not bad, but I’ve never heard of such rumors.”
It was just a casual question. Unexpectedly, Sheng Qiuxiao looked quite shy, with a pair of small pear dimples at the corners of her mouth: "What's the matter? It's because I have a hot body and I'm not very afraid of the cold. Even in the coldest month of winter, I can't wear too thick clothes." clothes."
"That's very good. It really saves Madam a lot of money." Shen Yuan tugged at the corner of his lips, finding this reason funny for no reason, "But every time I see you, the charcoal pot you burn in your house is not small."
Qiu Xiao smiled: "What do you think, sister? That girl Xiaoju followed me. At first she was so cold that she rubbed her hands. Sister, come here, how could I let you freeze and just add more charcoal to the fire temporarily?"
It's okay not to mention it. When it came to Xiaoju, Shen Yuan felt half happy, but for a moment, he felt grudge again, and replied lightly "you have a heart", and said nothing more. Qiu Xiao was keenly aware, and it happened to be the purpose of this trip, so she took advantage of it. The atmosphere calmed down a bit and we got straight to the point.
"Sister, please don't be upset. I know that Xiaoju behaves badly and has already punished her severely. The two girls also saw it yesterday. I came here today just for one thing. I hope my sister will be lenient and not really kick her out." This chapter has been completed!
