Shen Zhu turned the book "Changdao Deed" to the last side, and there were a few words written on it, "The weak girl of the Xu family in Qingzhou, the young Feng is very precious, and the fate of the lonely one. Weird."

His hands trembled slightly, and he murmured, "What is going on here?"

Lu Zhiming lightly took over the book of "Sandao Deed", "At that time, Mr. Shen knew that he was going to die, and he also knew that after his death, the former emperor would not buy the love of the Xu family, and the Xu family in Qingzhou would definitely fall and scatter. To break the fate of the Xu family's young daughter."

"Xu's young daughter...is...who is it?"

Lu Zhiming didn't answer this question, but sighed: "I don't know, it's destiny."

Shen Zhu was on the verge of collapse, "Before my father died, he told me that I must do whatever it takes to marry Xu's daughter. I only said that he wanted to avenge me..."

Lu Zhiming shook his head and said, "Wrong."

"Then why is this arrangement, what exactly are you planning?"

"Ling Zun is well versed in strange gossip and destiny, why are you not good at this?"

"He said that this was a diabolical act of peeping at heaven's secrets, and he never let me be contaminated."

"Ling Zun knows that acting against the law is unbearable, so there may be other reasons for what happened back then, and I don't know what the boss is planning."

Shen Zhu got up and walked to the courtyard. On the first day of the new year, the people in the city had the custom of setting off firecrackers in the morning to remove the old year. There was a smell of burning firecrackers in the air. He closed his eyes and smelled it carefully, and said softly: " I haven't been back to Qingzhou for a long time, and the flavor of Qingzhou is stronger than this."

"Your Excellency, are you going to leave for Qingzhou?"

"I'm running out of time." He said, turning around and bowing to Lu Zhiming, "Old case, foggy and foggy, please ask Mr. Lu to come with me to Qingzhou to clarify my doubts."

Lu Zhiming returned a salute, "It's my share."

Shen Zhu said: "Let's leave early tomorrow morning."

Lu Zhiming nodded, looking at the background of his departure, the young Taoist who never knew what the world was, sighed, "She suffers, so do you."

In Meihuawu, Rao Tu stood on the edge of the water bank, watching the little girl mountain ghost holding a firecracker in her hand, igniting a firecracker's fire letter, and then quickly throwing it into the water, making a splash, it was a lot of fun.

Yang Qian looked a little depressed from the side, and didn't understand why a little girl liked to play this?

Rao Tu looked at the boat slowly coming from the water in the distance, and said to the mountain ghost: "Do you have the ability to throw firecrackers into the cabin?"

The mountain ghost took a closer look, she has the ability, but the courage is lacking, she said with a bitter face: "Girl, why are you always cheating on me? I want to believe your evil and throw it in, but the Lord Shen inside doesn't come up again. Do you have to reward me with thirty boards?"

Rao Tu smiled and said, "The one inside is Mr. Lu, not Mr. Shen."

Shan Gui blinked, "Since it's Mr. Lu, he has no grudges and no grudges, let alone bombing him."

"Mr. Lu is always serious, and it's really boring. I'm not trying to tease him, and I won't really hurt him."

The mountain ghost thought about it carefully, it seemed to make sense, but something was not quite right, "I don't want it anymore, I'm a maid, even if Mr. Lu doesn't mind, Lord Shen will still reward me with the board."

Rao Tu sighed and snatched a firecracker from the mountain ghost, "You don't play, I'll play."

Shan Gui's head shook like a rattle, "Girl, don't be stubborn, you are slow, don't blow your hands!"

Rao Tu paid no attention to it. She leaned on the mountain ghost's fire book, and with a sound of "呲", she raised her hand and threw the firecracker in the air, causing Xiao Shun, who was punting on the water, to be startled.

Shen Zhu got out of the cabin, the mountain ghost took a deep breath, looked at Rao Tu sadly, and quickly retreated behind her to hide.

Rao Tu smiled and looked at Lord Shen who was standing on the bow of the boat, "Shen Lang Yushu faces the wind, so handsome and carefree."

When the boat docked, Shen Zhu came to Rao Tu's side, wrapped her whole body in his cloak, and scolded: "Standing in this wind, don't know how to wear an extra dress?"

Rao Tu cuddled in his warm arms and said coquettishly, "I'm not here to wait for you, I haven't seen you for a moment, like every three autumns."

Shen Zhuyi leaned over and hugged her whole body, Rao Tu exclaimed, "What are you doing, let me down." As he said that, he stretched out his feet and kicked randomly in the air.

Shen Zhu looked at her embroidered shoes that were soiled with slush, "Wear these shoes, you will get wet after a few steps, and your feet will freeze and swell, don't cry out of pain."

Rao Tu stretched out her arms to wrap around his neck, smiling silently.

"What are you staring at me for?"

"Shen Lang is beautiful, and he is reluctant to look away."

Shen Zhu carried her back to the warm pavilion, put her on the edge of the bed, squatted down and took off her embroidered shoes, but saw that the socks inside were already wet, took off the socks, and both feet were red.

Her feet are very beautiful, with slender ankles and slightly upturned toes, which are beautiful and natural. The toes that were originally like white jade beads are now red.

Shen Zhu used his big slender hands to hold her two feet, and asked the mountain ghost to prepare a medicinal bath.

Rao Tu said, "Do you still want a medicinal bath today? Mr. Lu didn't tell me."

Shen Zhu said "um", "Of course it can't be stopped."

The mountain ghost quickly prepared the soup, the tub was filled with herbs, and soon the heat filled the room with the smell of medicine.

Rao Tu pushed Shen Zhu away, but he sat still like an old monk in meditation, "I read books, not you."

Rao Tu doesn't believe it, she doesn't know this person yet! "You read a book and go outside."

Shen Zhu reached out and squeezed her cheek, "Go, the water is going to be cold."

Seeing that she couldn't leave him, Rao had to give up and snorted, "The water is hot! If you are willing to be smoked, then just stay."

As he said that he took off his clothes and stepped into the tub, the soup did not reach his neck. Shen Zhu took a book in his hand, but his eyes were not on the book. Looking at the figure bathing inside, he said, "Tomorrow we will leave for Qingzhou."

Rao Tu blinked, "I'm not going."

"Mr. Lu will go back with me. The poison on your body is not clear, and you need Mr. Lu to treat you."

"Then let Mr. Lu stay."

Shen Zhu glanced at her and said with a dark face, "I'm not at ease."

Rao Tu deliberately angered him, "What's not to worry about, although Mr. Lu is a little more elegant, he is a monk, and I won't hit him."

Shen Zhu exhaled a long breath and said to Liu Xing who was waiting outside, "Go and pack your wife's clothes and bring all the medicines you need."

Rao Tu pouted, and said in a bad mood, "How many days?"

"Come back before the Lantern Festival." He looked at the booklet, seemingly nonchalantly.

Rao Tu nodded and smiled: "I have to come back before the Lantern Festival, but I can't miss the good time for you to marry the princess."

Shen Zhu put down the book and walked into the curtain, waved to the mountain ghost, and the mountain ghost immediately bowed his head and exited.

Rao Tu sat in the wooden barrel, looked up at the dark-faced Lord Shen, folded his hands to protect his chest, and said loudly: "What is the meaning of Lord Shen, and you want to prostitute in the daytime?"

Shen Zhu was in a hurry, looking at her with only one head showing in the medicinal soup and staring at her, he said solemnly, "I'll say another nasty remark in the future, and remember that the mountain ghost and Liu Xing will each take ten sticks."

Shan Gui and Liu Xing'er both shuddered when they heard the words, darling, how can this be fixed?

Rao Tu frowned, his eyes cut him like a knife, "What does it have to do with you when I say what I am willing to do?"

"When you have a good place in the future, you are not ashamed or ashamed?" he asked with a frown.

Rao Tu was stunned for a moment, "A good place to go? Where can I go?"

Shen Zhu didn't say a word, picked up the cotton towel from the water and wiped her body. Rao Tu's eyes were slightly red, "I know, after you marry the princess, you won't want me anymore, and give me to others at will, right?"

Shen Zhu wiped her body a little harder, Rao Tu saw that he didn't speak, and continued: "I am a person who has been tossed into such a state by you, how can any good people want me, after you marry the princess Don't worry about me either. I'm here to fend for myself."

Shen Zhu asked in a deep voice, "What is the tossing like?"

Rao Tu raised her head and looked at him, and saw that in those handsome eyes, there was suffocation, distress, and a forbearance desire.

He untied the jade belt around his waist with one hand, took off his shirt, and stepped out of the medicine barrel wearing only a middle coat. Rao Tu shrank to one side and said stubbornly: "I'm right, you married the princess, so naturally you don't want me anymore."

Shen Zhu still didn't speak, took the woman into his arms, and reached out to unbutton her shirt. Rao Tu said angrily: "Get out! It's better to be a beast than Shen Zhu!"

He said leisurely: "I'm not as good as a beast. I've always been, you only know today?"

Rao Tu looked at his scorching eyes, which she had never seen before. She couldn't help being a little timid. She turned her face away and frowned, "I have a good bath medicine, don't disturb me."

"I won't disturb you, I will help you." He kneaded his fingers on several acupoints on her body, and said slowly, "Mr. Lu said that this method can increase the efficacy of the medicine."

Rao Tu didn't believe it, "It's obviously because of your crooked mind that you want to belittle me."

Shen Zhu said "um", "You can think so, too."

After the medicated bath, Rao Tu's body became hot and her face flushed red. Shen Zhu ordered water to be prepared and waited for her to take a bath in person. After washing, wrap her whole body in a plush cotton cloth, put it on the bed, and wipe her hair.

Rao Tu was soft and weak, not knowing if it was the effect of the medicinal bath, she fell into a deep sleep. Lu Zhiming took a look and said that it was okay, he added the ingredients of Ma Bo San to the medicated bath to relieve her pain when she was treating the poison, which is why he was so lackluster.

Shen Zhu watched her lying quietly on the bed, his thoughts were spinning. Many years ago, it was also a cold winter. She hugged his dirty clothes and insisted on going to the river to wash them. As a result, she came back with a fever. He remembered that she had been lying on the bed with a pale face for a day. He wanted to ignore her cruelly, but seeing her haggard appearance on the bed, he couldn't help worrying. He hugged her in the middle of the night and wiped her with a hot sweat towel. .

She was sick and groggy then, but there was a smile on her pale face.

She loves to laugh, with a smile on the corners of her eyes and brows. When he was young, he didn't understand why such a lady from a wealthy family, after marrying him, didn't think too much about poor food and poor food, why she could smile so pure and clean without any complaints.

Then he understood, and she didn't laugh like that anymore. That rainy night, the Laughter Woman died.

He used all his willpower to resist, and he always warned himself that he had a deep hatred with her. But after five years of Merlin, he was still hopelessly in love with her. She is a virtuous and gentle wife, a rare good woman, but he deliberately neglected her and tortured her at her age, when she was carrying an endless love for herself and a beautiful longing for love...

Shen Zhu stared at her frowning brows, supported the edge of the bed and bent slightly, he couldn't smoothen her eyebrows, like a ten-year love-hate entanglement. Only one death.

In the middle of the night, Rao Tu woke up and saw Shen Zhu lying on his side with his arms around his waist. Rao Tu reached out and brushed between his eyebrows, gently rubbing away the gloomy mass.

He opened his eyes and met her peach blossom eyes, and in an instant, it was like back then. Even if her usual laughter and anger were fake, at this moment, Shen Zhu was extremely sure that the bitterness in her eyes was real.

He placed a light kiss on her brow.

Rao Tu turned her head and was about to say something choking when her stomach rang out inappropriately, making her a little embarrassed.

Shen Zhu asked softly, "Hungry?"

"Ok……"

"What to eat?"

Rao Tu tilted her head and thought for a while, "Candied haws."

"Candied haws?" Shen Zhu was a little surprised.

"I dreamed that my child was eating candied haws. If my child hadn't died, he would have pestered me to eat candied haws." Rao Tu murmured with mist in her eyes.

Shen Zhu hugged her tightly, he remembered the story she told in the mountain stream, that her child died on a rainy night.

At that time, he wanted to find the man who made her pregnant, and he wanted to kill him by a thousand cuts, but in the end, he was the man.

Indeed, he should be cut with a thousand swords.

"I want to eat candied haws." Rao Tu was stuffed in his arms, and a numb feeling spread into his chest when he spoke.

"Okay, I'll go buy it."

"Are you going to buy it, or let Yang Qian buy it?" Rao Tu looked up and asked.

"I go."

The complexity in her eyes flashed past, and when she saw that he had already got up and put on his clothes and walked outside, she was relieved, "It's the middle of the night, it's still the beginning of the year, and there probably isn't any on the street."

Shen Zhu said firmly: "Yes."

Rao Tu watched him push the door and leave, and sat for a while, before the mountain ghost brought in a bowl of lotus seed porridge, "Master Shen ordered me to drink this first when you are hungry."

Rao Tu held up the jade bowl, the slightly hot feeling disturbed her mood. "Mountain ghost, I'm a little tired..."

The mountain ghost stepped forward to support her, "The girl is tired, the mountain ghost knows it. No matter what decision you make in the end, I will listen to you."

Rao Tu took a sip from the jade bowl, "I'm going back to Qingzhou tomorrow, is everything ready?"

"Ready."

She put down the porridge bowl, took out a porcelain bottle from the hidden cassette in the bed, and put it in her close purse. This was given to her by Xiao Yanning, the other half of the antidote for peach blossom dew.

The mountain ghost held the tray of lotus seed porridge, "Drink more, girl, soothe your mind. You will be tired when you are on the road tomorrow."

Rao Tu shook her head, "No taste, I want to eat sour."

The mountain ghost frowned slightly and sent the lotus seed porridge out. Shen Zhu came back with a paper bag in his hands. He was air-conditioned and took the paper bag to the inner hall. He stood in the outer hall for a while and warmed up before walking to the inner hall.

Rao Tu opened the paper package, and inside was a string of candied haws, round and bright, with attractive colors. She glanced at Shen Zhu, "Baba went so far and brought back such a bunch, how stingy are you?"

"It's not good to eat too much in the middle of the night, it's acid, and it hurts my teeth and stomach."

Rao Tu took a small bite, the sugar-coated crystals were crisp, and the hawthorn pulp was mixed together, sour and sweet. Shen Zhu reached out and squeezed the sugar residue from the corner of her mouth, "Is it delicious?"

"It's okay." She said, biting the remaining half of the hawthorn in her mouth, her cheeks bulging, and it seemed that she was having a hard time chewing.

Shen Zhu was helpless, and said with a stern face: "Be reserved, no one will rob you."

Rao Tu brought the second candied haws on the lottery to his lips, he hesitated for a moment, bit the one from the lottery, and brought it to Ratu's mouth.

Rao Tu took half a bite of what he was holding with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Lang Shen understands me. The ones on the sign are hard to bite, so it's better to eat your ready-made ones."

Shen Zhu then gave her bites one by one, she ate half of them, and he ate half of them too. A bunch of candied haws were quickly divided, and Rao Tu was satisfied, rinsed her mouth and drank tea and fell asleep.

Shen Zhu was so silent that when she was about to fall asleep, she took his hand in a daze and asked him why it was a little strange. He rubbed her face without saying a word.

On the second day, a few cars and horses drove from the Shen residence and slowly left the capital.

Lu Zhiming and Shen Zhu sat in one carriage, while Rao Tu and the mountain ghost Liu Xing'er sat in the other.

Rao Tu's car is spacious and stable, with a small thermos in it, and Rao Tu also holds a hand stove in which the fragrance of Chunxin Chunxin is smoked in her hands. The wall of the car is made of high-quality golden nanmu, which is extremely thick, and has an excellent effect of keeping out the cold and keeping warm.

Rao Tu was a little bored, and she thought that reading books would cost her eyes, so she held the jade flute and blew on and off, and the tune didn't make a tune all the way.

The mountain ghost couldn't listen to it anymore, so he stretched out a finger to block Yuxiao's hole, "Girl, you are playing a tune."

Rao Tu shook her head and said, "Blowing out the tune can easily reveal the mood."

The mountain ghost pouted, "Anyway, you're in a mess right now, I heard it."

Rao Tu took the jade flute and tapped her head: "What kind of cleverness?"

The carriage shook, and the carriage suddenly stopped. I just heard a coquettish voice from outside shouting: "Oh, this is a big New Year's Eve, which son is visiting relatives, what a big battle. Come out and let the slave family see, is he handsome?"

The mountain ghost opened the heavy car curtain, Rao Tu looked through the gap, and raised her eyebrows involuntarily. There were a dozen or so blockers in different clothes in front of them.

Those people are too weird, there are big monks with bare heads and bare breasts, there are ill and ghostly scholars, there are rough men with a huge pen in his hand, and there are Huadan actors with heavy makeup. There is a white-faced man with a colorful robe and a swinging fan, and there is also a coquettish woman in a light red gauze, who can't wait to show her breasts and thighs.

There were ten scattered people, all of them riding high-headed horses, standing in front of the road very eye-catching.

The mountain ghost snorted and sighed: "Crooked melon and cracked jujube!"

Rao Tu tapped her head again with the jade flute, "The cow, the ghost, the snake and the god would be more appropriate."

The mountain ghost rubbed his head and said depressedly, "No one in this group can see it."

Rao Tu smiled and said, "Look at that aunt in red, isn't she pretty?"

Shan Gui choked, she could see the crow's feet on the corner of the red woman's eyes from such a long distance. No matter how conspicuous she was when she was young, she is now a milf, and she still dresses up in such a presumptuous manner, it's a bit unreasonable.

Yang Qian outside immediately clasped his fists and said, "The owner of the family is eager to defect to his relatives, so I would like to ask the heroes to make it easy."

"Huh?" The mountain ghost said with displeased voice, "Why is Yang Qian so soft wherever he goes?"

I saw that the woman in red had her arms resting on Da Ma's head, her cheeks resting on her hands, and the aura of her chest could be described as majestic. She said charmingly, "If you want to go, you can leave something as a souvenir."

Liu Xing'er was surprised, she stared at her round eyes and said, "Is this a robbery by bandits?"

Rao Tu didn't answer the little girl, she saw a blue-gray Taoist robe walking out of the carriage in front, and the red-clothed woman's eyes lit up immediately, and she said with all kinds of charm: "The little Taoist has a good skin, it is better to stay in the double cultivation room with the slave family. Technique, how is it?"

Lu Zhiming's tone was calm: "I don't know this way."

The woman in red laughed loudly: "You don't understand, the slave family can teach you."

The mountain ghost gritted his teeth and scolded "Saucy girls!" and was about to get out and beat people.

Rao Tu held her shoulders, "Be careful."

A small flower snake suddenly emerged from the chest of the woman in red, spit out a red letter, and then drilled back. The man in Caiyi next to him shook his folding fan, and said with a yin and yang anger: "Snake girl, don't make a fuss when you see a man, let the beast in your arms be quiet."

The woman who was called "Snake Girl" was not angry, but Qianqiao Baimei gave the man in Caiyi a glance, "I've changed my taste, the rough man has eaten too much, what's wrong with changing it to something lighter?"

The man in Caiyi laughed and looked Lu Zhiming up and down, "I'm afraid this Taoist priest can't satisfy you. Is there a handsome brother in the car? Get out soon, and go to the snake girl's couch with the Taoist priest. , have your enjoyment."

Shan Grimace's face was turning green with anger, and when she glanced at Rao Tu pursing her lips and smiling, she couldn't help but wonder, "Girl, you can still laugh."

"Bad Dou Grand Scholar, Minister of Rites, and Sacrificial Wine of the Imperial College, isn't it funny to be molested like this under the blue sky and daylight?" Rao Tu asked back with a smile.

The mountain ghost stared at the man in the color coat with a very tangled expression.

"What, what do you see?"

The mountain ghost said uncertainly: "This person seems to be the Caiyi Jinxiu Lang, one of the ten wicked men of Jiangzuo. The yin stall is desolate, making the people of Jiangzuo frightened. It is rumored that he practiced the sorcery of collecting yin and nourishing yang, and even sent his own relatives The girl was humiliated to death. Now both the black and the white are offering a reward for this person's head."

"Caiyi Jinxiu?" Rao Tu sneered.

The man in Caiyi's eyes suddenly flashed, and his eyes turned to the car in Raotu, "Yo! The lady in the car, what did you call my brother to do? Don't worry, don't worry, I'm here to hurt you."

Saying that, he flew up from the big horse and swept straight towards Rao Tu's car.

Lu Zhiming kicked lightly on the ground, a pebble flew up and hit the knee of the Caiyi Jinxiu Lang, Cai Yi Jinxiu Lang said "Huh?" land.

He looked straight at Lu Zhiming again, with a complicated smile: "The Taoist has some skills."

Rao Tu supported the mountain ghost and walked out of the car with a smile. What's more, there was no fear on his face, and it turned out to be a schadenfreude expression.

Caiyi Jinxiu Lang's eyes straightened, but the red-clothed Snake Girl with all kinds of amorous feelings immediately surged with murderous intent.

Rao Tu smiled and looked at Snake Niang, "This aunt, don't rush to kill me. The little girl has a husband who is a tortoise in the car. I will give him to my aunt to take pity on, can you spare me a little life? "
