A Qi

In the early morning of the next day, the rare clear sky, the warm sun projected from the cedar needlepoints, the snow on the eaves melted little by little, the long-lost sunlight shone everywhere, and Taoran Temple was full of vitality and peace.

Zhao Minglang got a glimpse of the secret of the two last night, and woke up early, looking at the peaceful An Rong on the bed and Ah Qi who was sleeping on the corner of the table, he felt very strange in his heart, that he, an upright man, saw such a thing.But after thinking about it, the Changchun Courtyard where An Rong stayed was doing such jobs.

She has a peaceful sleeping face, her upper eyelashes cover her eyes tightly, her nose bridge is straight and straight, her lips are crystal clear and light red with a seductive fragrance, and her body is covered with a faint fragrance of magnolia.Zhao Minglang secretly clicked his tongue in his heart, although he had known An Rong for many years, he would always be surprised by his alluring appearance.However, it is completely unreasonable for such a jade-like person to do such things to a humble turtle slave.

An Rong opened his eyes suddenly, but saw the man sizing him up with burning eyes, "What are you looking at?"

"No...it's nothing, get up quickly, it's getting late." The words were evasive.

Zhao Minglang walked over, and was about to stretch out his legs to wake Ah Qi up, when he suddenly remembered the special identity of this person, put away his half-raised legs, and only raised his voice, "Hey, wake up."

Ah Qi was woken up, saw An Rong beside him, quickly lowered his head, a few inadvertent blushes appeared on his black and yellow face, Ah Qi felt his face was very hot.

Zhao Minglang saw all of this, don't open your eyes, don't want to see this man's little shy gestures anymore, put on his coat, walked to the door and turned to An Rong and said, "I'll go outside and come back for breakfast later. "

Ah Qi and An Rong are the only two left in the room now, the heat from the charcoal stove swells and fills the bamboo house, Ah Qi is always embarrassed to look up, but from the corner of his eye, he finds that the pair of black brocade boots are getting closer and closer to him. approached, and finally stopped in front of him.

Ah Qi raised his head and glanced at An Rong, but didn't dare to look any further, then lowered his head abruptly, his heart was pounding, and there were still traces of this person from last night on his lower body.

"What are you awkward about?" An Rong's voice came from above Ah Qi's head.

Ah Qi raised his head, looked at An Rong, didn't quite understand what he meant by being awkward, just shook his head, then lowered his head again, his eyes were still fixed on An Rong's black brocade boots.

He looked like a servant with low brows and pleasing eyes. At this moment, his red and swollen hands were twisting the corners of his clothes. Those hands were tall and swollen, and the thick and short hands were more like buns now, and they were rotten from the inside. buns.

An Rong asked lightly, "How long has your hand been like this?"

Ah Qi raised his head again, but saw An Rong staring at his hand covered with chilblains and festering pus, a little embarrassed, this hand was too ugly, he didn't want to be seen by An Rong, so he quickly put his hands behind his back, "No... not long, It's cold in winter, wash..."

Before Ah Qi could finish speaking, An Rong interrupted him.Thinking that this person was just asking casually, Ah Qi stopped in embarrassment, blaming himself for always taking his "concern" so seriously.

"You don't have to remember what happened yesterday. This is not the first time. In front of others, you are still Ah Qi, and I am still your master. Do you understand?"

Not surprisingly, when An Rong said that, Ah Qi could still answer him with a smile.This person has always been like this. Every time he finishes doing that kind of thing, he never forgets to remind him, puts himself in a proper position, and can't be too greedy. Ah Qi almost yelled at him: I never have other ideas!But at this juncture, Ah Qi just nodded in self-pity, and didn't dare to breathe aloud.

"say!"

Ah Qi was a little aggrieved, he wanted to hear what he had to say, could it be that he had prostituted himself for nothing and didn't pay him, so he still acted confidently?After thinking over and over again, he opened his mouth cautiously: "Young Master Ling, Ah Qi understands, Ah Qi has no wrong thoughts." In this way, he should feel relieved.

When An Rong heard his words, the air in his air cavity became more condensed. This man said that he had no unreasonable thoughts about himself, which was obviously something to be happy about, but he didn't feel relieved at all. Instead, his heart was empty, which could not be called The feeling of coming, the face is still calm and unruffled.

"This is it, please come in." Zhao Minglang's voice came from outside the door, followed by Shen Peilin and a girl.

"Just now I went for a stroll outside, and happened to meet Mr. Shen and Miss Shen."

An Rong's eyes lightly glanced at the two of them, and after a quick glance, he withdrew and nodded as a signal.Shen Rong has noticed this young man in white since entering the room. His handsome and soft face attracted her, but she is also a daughter of a boudoir, so it is not appropriate to reveal her daughter's small thoughts in front of a man. After her eyes met, she lowered her eyes. He nodded, his cheeks flushed slightly.

In the blink of an eye, she found the little yellow dog, which was the one that was injured yesterday, she remembered.

"Brother, look at that puppy." The voice was cold, exactly the same as her pure appearance.

Shen Peilin saw the puppy next to Ah Qi's feet, and recognized it immediately, "It's the one from yesterday." His eyes gradually moved up, and he saw Ah Qi, who was actually the apprentice who blatantly peeped at his sister yesterday.

Zhao Minglang was curious about the relationship between these two people and this puppy, and asked casually, "Do you know it?"

Shen Wan said quietly, "I saw it once in the snow yesterday."

Zhao Minglang didn't even think about it, "Isn't Ah Qi picking up this dog in the snow?"

Shen Rong went over and squatted down to pick up the puppy, teased it for a while, saw the bandage on the front leg, and understood what was going on, she turned her head and said coquettishly to Shen Peilin, "Brother, this puppy looks like I'm destined, why don't you go back with me."

Shen Peilin was helpless, "You, this puppy belongs to someone else."

Ms. Shen's words are as gentle and delicate as gurgling water in Zhao Minglang's ears. How can I miss this great opportunity to offer flowers to the Buddha? He said with a smile on his face, "If Ms. Shen likes it, just take it back."

Shen Rong smiled, "Thank you."

On the other hand, Ah Qi on the side felt a little disappointed, his arms were hanging limply on his waist, the little yellow dog he picked up became someone else's in the blink of an eye, and he couldn't compete, who made him a cheap servant.

Seeing Ah Qi's lonely expression, An Rong felt a little distressed for a moment, but it was fleeting, and she might not even realize it.

"Tear off the cloth strips from the dog's legs and replace them with clean ones." When An Rong said this, his eyes were fixed on Ah Qi, he didn't realize how hurtful his words were, he just wanted to see That turtle slave has another look, not a slave face forever.

However, An Rong was disappointed, Ah Qi had no other movements and expressions other than lowering her head lower.

It was the first time for Shen Wan to hear An Rong speak, her voice was clear but full of extreme temptation, her heart stirred slightly, the hand holding the puppy trembled, and then she tore off the white cloth on its feet, and the surrounding fur was stained. There were bloodstains on it, but fortunately the wound had already clotted.

An Rong finally glanced at Ah Qi again, then tore off the fabric of his inner garment with a "hiss", and wrapped the puppy carefully a few times.There was a strange emotion in Shen Wan's heart, being so close to this person, smelling the faint scent of magnolia on his body, staring at the shadow cast by his thick eyelashes, feeling distracted.

Ah Qi's fingertips sank deeply into his palm, this man must have done it on purpose, "My lord, I'll go out." Then he backed away obediently.

An Rong stopped the hand that was wrapping the cloth belt, concentrating for a moment, "I'll go out." He picked up the cloak, put it on in a hurry, and left like a gust of wind.

Zhao Minglang was even more surprised when he saw the people walking away one after the other, it is possible that An Rong really fell in love with that turtle slave.As for Miss Shen, feeling a little lost because of An Rong's departure, she smoothed out the broken hair between her temples. Could it be that she messed up her makeup when she came over from the snow?

An Rong grabbed Ah Qi's arm, stopped him from moving forward, and all her complicated eyes fell on his face, "Where are you going!"

Ah Qi felt that his eyes were suddenly astringent, as if something was stuck in his eye sockets, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I just changed my underwear, so it's not dirty."

An Rong stopped talking, and stared at Ah Qi deeply, a trace of regret crept into her heart, she had indeed gone too far just now.

The biting cold whipped his face, Ah Qi's face was a little pale because of anger, his chest heaved up and down, although the sun was out, it was so cold outside, Ah Qi who was standing in the snow felt that his body was getting into the marrow of his bones cold, hands red and swollen from chilblains.Ah Qi felt that he was probably a demon just now, and even talked back to Mr. Ling, now that his mood gradually calmed down, he was no longer so angry.

"I'm sorry." Ah Qi said out of nowhere, with a very low voice.

However, An Rong didn't seem to have heard these words, his eyes were full of the shivering man in front of him, this man was only wearing a thin jacket.Immediately An Rong took off her cloak and put it on for him, Ah Qi was not tall and had a thin body, the cloak covered him like a big quilt.

"I'm not cold." Ah Qi didn't dare to wear his master's clothes.

"You wear it, I'm not cold either."

Ah Qi didn't give in, and obediently put on An Rong's cloak.

The two returned to the bamboo house together. Zhao Minglang was not too surprised when he saw Ah Qi's white coat, but Shen Peilin was really shocked. He and An are sons, and they thought they were servants, so they didn't say hello.But right now, this man is wearing Mr. An's clothes, it's amazing.

Shen Peilin stared at Ah Qi, "This young master is..."

Ah Qi didn't realize that his appearance, especially the cloak he was wearing aroused others' doubts, and he didn't expect that the "son" was actually called him.

Zhao Minglang rushed to say, "He is not a son, but a servant of An Rong."

As soon as the words came out, Ah Qi immediately realized that the "Young Master" just now was called himself, and suddenly embarrassed, Ah Qi hurriedly took off the cloak on his body, revealing his thick linen jacket, his face Slightly timid, he lowered his eyelids uneasily.

Shen Wan shyly said, "I didn't expect Mr. An to be so sympathetic to his servants, Wan'er is ashamed."

An Rong raised his eyes and said softly, "If Ms. Shen likes puppies, some day in the future I will personally choose a rare breed and send it to the house as a gift for Ms. Shen. This kind of puppy has a wild temper and is easy to bite people. It’s better to stay in Taoran Temple and let it grow up with the Buddha.”

Shen Wan was flattered, and said shyly, "So, Wan'er thanked Mr. An first, and this puppy will stay in this temple for now."

Shen Wan had always had a secret affection for An Rong, but now that he said this, he felt that this man was delicate in his thoughts, and he was even more delighted. He only hoped that his brother's friendship with them would grow deeper, so that he might see him more often in the future. with him.

Shen Peilin is a man, he always thinks more than his sister, the relationship between An Rong and his servant may not be as simple as it appears on the surface, but he can't tell what's weird, that's all, he just waits for their evidence, What does this nonsense have to do with him.As for his younger sister, it seemed that it was time to find her a husband.

After the Shen brothers and sisters left, Zhao Minglang sent them off with an excuse, and went out together, and now there were only two of them left in the room.

"Where are you going to keep the puppy after you bring him back?"

Ah Qi raised his head suddenly, his eyes were full of excitement and ecstasy, and he was so happy that he kept saying, "Thank you, Mr. Ling! Thank you, Mr. Ling!"

"Keep it in your place. I'm afraid I'll be slaughtered and eaten, so why not put it in my place."

"Then can I go to your place to see it later?"

"Ah."

Later, when Ah Qi thought of each of their entanglements, he was not without emotion. This man is obviously a careless person, but it is kind of good to give him alms from time to time, let him guard his master like a loyal dog, begging for mercy , has been begging his alms.Is it because his life is too hard, and he mistook other people's small acts of kindness as the reason for his no turning back, or his innate humbleness made him lose his heart, knowing that it was a pit of fire, he didn't even jump back into it.

After lunch, An Rong and the others packed up and prepared to go back.
