Mountains and rivers do not return to people

That's it. "

Xiao Li thanked them again, and ran over. Su Xiying looked at him for a while, and suddenly said: "I think this child and I are quite compatible."

Shen Mu folded his arms around his chest and said, "We hit it off the most."

Su Xiying gave him a white look, and said, "I'll also go over to see the difference between the red plum blossoms by the Momei Bridge and the ordinary plum blossoms. You wait for me here."

"What? You don't want me to follow?"

Worried about his misunderstanding, Su Xiying hurriedly said: "No, there are many people over there, and you scared them away as soon as you passed by."

Shen Mushi nodded thoughtfully, and sat on the bluestone by the roadside: "Then you go, I'll watch you here."

Su Xiying walked over, and before she got out of the bushes, she heard someone say from a distance: "In the past few days, the number of priests appearing here seems to be extraordinarily high. Whenever I see him, my skin itch."

Someone answered him, "Itchy skin? Let the priest peel it off for you."

The original man clicked his tongue and said, "Don't say that, every time I see him, I'm scared to death."

The latter laughed and said, "I think the priest is better than the nanny in charge. If there is no priest in the morning, she might scold us again."

Su Xiying lowered her head, silently walked around behind them, and stepped onto the bridge.

Suddenly I heard the person who spoke before shout: "Mr. Su, come and have a seat."

"Ah?" Su Xiying turned her head to look at them, she was indeed calling herself, then went back and asked, "Just now, are you calling me?"

"Yes." The young man grabbed Su Xiying's arm and said, "My name is Ye Anlan, and the one next to me is Shen Wanfu. I think you are different from others. You are very righteous. I have always wanted to make friends with you. With Priest Shen here, we dare not go there."

"Ah, okay." Su Xiying smiled, sat next to Ye Anlan, and said, "I thought you would look down on me after seeing what happened yesterday."

"How could it be?" Shen Wan replied: "Actually, you are not the only one who thinks this way, many people want to get rid of this fate of being skinned, but you are the only one who has the courage to protect each other. We admire it before it's too late. , how could I look down on you."

"That's right." Ye Anlan continued: "Don't look at the nanny in charge who can't do anything about it. She has to pay the price if someone is sacrificed, and she will threaten us if there is nothing wrong. If someone really died, she will make it up for herself. This is how the nuns in charge made sacrifices for the dead, but Priest Shen is different, he can dispose of us at will, and we have never thought about it before him."

Su Xiying thought about what happened yesterday, and made Shen Mushi feel that he was not on the same side as him, so she was very annoyed: "I was wrong yesterday, I shouldn't have said that in front of so many people."

"It's okay. Priest Shen is my cousin. Since he didn't pursue it, it means he didn't blame you." Shen Wanfu sighed and said: "He has never been so tolerant to my cousin."

"You are his cousin? Then why do you still want to be a provincial supervisor?"

Shen Wanfu bowed her head and said nothing, Su Xiying realized that she had asked something she shouldn't have asked, and hurriedly said, "Sorry, I'll just ask casually, you don't need to answer."

Ye Anlan patted Shen Wanfu on the shoulder a few times, and said to Su Xiying: "You may not know that there are only hereditary priests of the eldest son of the Shen family's Muzi line in Si Dynasty, and there is no need to sacrifice, and other branches still perform sacrifices according to the usual practice. "

Su Xiying nodded, and heard Ye Anlan ask again: "Young Master Su, what vision did you bring when you were born?"

"I didn't come in because of this. My parents were poor all their lives and couldn't support me. They sent me in instead of others."

After Su Xiying finished speaking, both of them were silent. Su Xiying stood up and smiled and said, "There are still two years left. The sacrificial ceremony will be abolished after two years. I don't want those who are unhappy, so I will leave first."

Su Xiying walked back to the bridge, while Xiao Li was still tiptoing under the red plum tree picking plum branches, Su Xiying walked over and picked off a branch and handed it to him.

Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, then took it over and thanked Su Xiying repeatedly, making Su Xiying feel embarrassed.

12. Lingering slightly fragrant touch 2

◎Iljimae◎

Regardless of the seasons here, there are always red plums that bloom all the year round. The petals are crimson red, and they bloom all over the pool. Standing on the bridge, you can touch the flower branches.

Su Xiying picked off a plum branch and looked at it for a while, except that the fragrance of the plum blossom was stronger than that of ordinary plum blossoms, so there seemed to be nothing special about it.

Seeing that Xiao Li hadn't left yet, Su Xiying asked, "Xiao Li, aren't you going to send plum blossoms to Pei Xu? Why don't you go? The plum blossoms will wither in a while."

Xiao Li was holding a white porcelain vase in his hand. He had just filled the pond with water, and while putting flower branches in it, he said, "I'll raise it with water first, and I'll go back to my senior brother after I finish boiling the medicine for you at night."

"Why don't you go first, I'll make the medicine myself."

"Thank you Mr. Su for your kindness, but my master said that Mr. Su's body is seriously injured, and he should take medicine for at least seven days to avoid any mistakes. I'd better make the medicine for you before leaving, and come back before tomorrow morning."

Hearing what he said, Su Xiying didn't shirk too much, she just said: "Since this is the case, why don't I pick another branch to bring you back at night, since I'm giving someone something, I have to give the best one."

"it is good."

A hand was put on the shoulder, and when Su Xiying turned around and saw that it was Shen Mu, she pulled his hand off and asked, "Why are you here?"

Shen Mushi glanced at the flowers in Xiao Li's hand, and said, "You never come back, I thought you were abducted."

"Who can I be abducted by... Hey, let me down." Without paying attention, Su Xiying was picked up by Shen Mushi and walked back.

"That's impossible to say."

"How decent is it to hug and hug in broad daylight, you let me down."

Shen Mushi pulled him into his arms, and said: "Don't let go, I didn't follow at this moment, the three of you were seduced by you, if I don't come here again, I will be a fool."

Su Xiying buried her head in his chest, and said in a muffled voice, "You seem like a jealous king."

Someone coughed lightly in front and said, "Brother, is this iron tree blooming?"

Su Xiying stuck out her head and was stunned for a moment, but seeing that the man in white who was walking was very similar to Shen Mushi, she asked, "Is this your brother Shen Mujie?"

"En." Shen Mushi nodded, and said to Shen Mujie: "Why are you wandering here?"

"If I don't come, my brother will be stuck in the gentle village and can't get out." Shen Mujie spread out a Xuanqing folding fan, and walked this way while fanning, "I said, why didn't I see you in Wanzhou?" , it turns out that you have a daughter-in-law and forgot about your brother and me, so this is Su Xiying, Mr. Su."

Shen Mushi put Su Xiying down, pulled Su Xiying behind him, swept him up and down, and said, "I have you in my heart? Still forget it, how can I forget it? I went to Nanlu, and I still look like this. Tian took a fan and fanned it more frequently than before, it seems that I was bitten by mosquitoes."

Shen Mujie put away her fan, glanced at Su Xiying, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't hide him, I've seen him a long time ago, he looks really good, what tricks did you use to lure him here?"

When she saw Shen Mushi, she ignored him, and went to Su Xiying's side again, patted Su Xiying's elbow with a fan and said, "Sister-in-law? Is that how you call it?"

Shen Mushi patted him away, and said to Su Xiying: "If someone else is crazy, ignore him. If you want to shout, wait until you get married."

Su Xiying laughed a few times, rubbed her nose, and complained in her heart that the title of "sister-in-law" sounds weird, then she heard Shen Mujie shouting like a corpse: "I said, how can my good brother treat the same old man for thousands of years?" The red clothes have been replaced with white ones, look! Did you see that Mr. Su's word 'Su' is still embroidered on the sleeves, could it be that you put on the wrong clothes this morning?"

Hearing that he was getting more and more lost, and the people around him scratched their necks and looked this way, Su Xiying's ears began to burn, and she said anxiously: "No, you are thinking too much."

Shen Mushi surrounded Su Xiying, and said to Shen Mujie: "Speak the business."

"Ah, good." Shen Mujie took two steps back, unfolded his fan and said, "You also know that as a censor, I have done everything I should and shouldn't have done. A few days ago, King Si ordered me to go to the South Lu Chatan really found out something."

"What's the matter?" Shen Mushi asked.

"The Nanlu border is not under the jurisdiction of the Si Kingdom, and there is no need to hold a sacrificial ceremony. Since three days ago, some people have frequently arrested the above-mentioned women and claimed that everything is done according to the sacrificial ceremony."

"Then, does the King of the Southern Land agree?"

"They are very secretive. The King of Nanlu doesn't know about it. I'll come back and report to King Si. King Si has sent a letter to King Weishu of Nanlu yesterday." Shen Mujie said.

Shen Mushi said: "I see, pay more attention to Nanlu's movements, and let me know if there is any situation."

"Ah."

Shen Mushi patted him on the shoulder as encouragement, and said, "Stay here tonight?"

Shen Mujie looked at Su Xiying with a smirk on her face, and said, "Stay, of course, I will disturb your bridal chamber in the middle of the night."

"The third room on the west side." At dusk, Lasu Xiying turned a corner and staggered him to the Fenyanyuan.

Su Xiying pushed Shen Mushi's hand away and grabbed his sleeve.The three of them walked to the Fenyan Courtyard, Shen Mushi shut Shen Mujie out with quick eyesight, and said, "Your room is next door." Then she took Su Xiying inside.

In fact, Su Xiying also wanted to say back to Shen Mushi: "Your room is in Nanshan." Suddenly, she realized that if Shen Mushi was not there, he would not be used to it, so she retracted the words.

Shen Mushi did not know where to take out a game of chess, placed it on the table with diagonal stars, sat down and said to Su Xiying: "It's so messy and noisy outside, why don't you sit down and play a game?"

"Follow you." Su Xiying took Heizi over, sat down opposite him, and signaled Shen Mu to get off first.

"Do you want me to teach you?" Shen Mu came over with a hippie smile.

"No, I will."

"OK then."

In the evening, Xiao Li came to deliver the decoction, and Su Xiying grabbed it before Shen Mu.
