Chapter 136
Chapter 136
At night, light snow fell outside the window. There was only a charcoal basin for warmth in the simple wing room, but the two people in the room didn't feel cold.Because of being separated for four years, they are no longer sleeping alone, but the two of them cuddle up to each other. The body temperature of each other is the best source of heat in this cold winter night, which is enough to resist the cold of this winter night.
Zhong Shao was a little restless, but Su Mo obviously didn't mean to indulge, because this is a pure place of Buddhism.So in the end, the two just simply hugged each other and fell asleep.
That night, Zhong Shao slept deeply, and so did Su Mo.When the two of them opened their eyes in the early morning of the next day, it was much later than usual, and the sky outside was already bright.
Su Mo wakes up earlier than Zhong Shao, probably because she has been living in the princess mansion in a pampered place, while Zhong Shao has been on the road one after another, and the exhaustion in her bones has not been well relieved.Now that he finally felt at ease, he was staying with Su Mo again, but he was sleeping extraordinarily deeply.
Today is going back to Beijing, but Su Mo is not in a hurry, she didn't bother Zhong Shao after waking up, she just nestled in the other's arms with peace of mind, and then raised her head to carefully look at Zhong Shao's current situation appearance.
I haven't seen her in four years, and now Zhong Shao has completely grown up, with delicate features, red lips, and white teeth. It can be said that she looks more and more like Concubine Yu, or she doesn't look like her anymore.Because the eyebrows and eyes are even more similar, but the temperament of the two is very different. Zhong Shao is too heroic. In the past few years, after being tempered by the desert wind and sand, he has completely lost the softness of his daughter's family, but he has developed another uniqueness. Charm.
Zhong Shao said that Su Mo was taken aback by her smile, but Su Mo did not deny it, because it was the truth.Zhong Shao, who was lightly drunk back then, was able to attract Su Mo, and now Zhong Shao, who is smiling brightly, also has the charm to attract Su Mo.But looking at her heroic eyebrows and her sun-tanned skin, Su Mo still felt distressed. She felt sorry for her being a daughter and living like a man.
Looking at it, Su Mo stretched out his hand to caress Zhong Shao's eyebrows, very lightly.
However, Zhong Shao has been used to being vigilant all these years, so as soon as Su Mo's hand touched her eyebrows, she opened her eyes.At that moment, his eyes were sharp, and his hand quickly poked out from under the quilt, grabbing the hand in front of him.
Fortunately, she reacted very quickly and realized where she was almost immediately.As a result, the sharp gaze softened in an instant, and the hand holding Su Mo Rouyi lost all strength. He just held it, pulled it down, and kissed it lightly when it fell on his lips.Then she raised her head and smiled brightly at Su Mo in front of her: "Good morning, Ah Mo."
Zhong Shao's voice was a little hoarse, and after the sharpness of that moment was withdrawn, her gaze regained some of the haze of waking up, probably because the environment made her feel at ease and at ease, so she rarely showed two points Come lazy.
Su Mo... was a little dazed, and it took him a long time to calm down his complicated thoughts, and softly replied: "Ah Shao, good morning." He hesitated for a moment after speaking, leaned over and kissed Zhong Shao gently on the lips.
Zhong Shao's hazy eyes lit up again, but before she made the next move, Su Mo had gently pushed her away and got up: "It's getting late, it's time to get up, we have to go back to Beijing in a while .”
"..." I felt like I was teased when I opened my eyes early in the morning, and I left after I finished teasing!
Zhong Shao was a little aggrieved, but Su Mo really just gave her a good morning kiss, and didn't want to tease her.So Su Mo got up naturally, dressed and washed, Zhong Shao lay on the bed and looked at it for a while, but he could only get up aggrieved.
As Su Mo said, it's really getting late, at least Qingyao who came to deliver the hot water has already changed the hot water twice.At this moment, she was looking at the hot water in the basin that had run out of steam for the third time, and she was a little confused. Should she knock on the door, knock on the door, or knock on the door? !
The little girl summoned up her courage... She turned around and left with the basin in her hand, and went to fetch the fourth basin of hot water—Su Mo had never lost her temper with Qing Yao, and Qing Yao had never seen Su Mo lose her temper, but she was just a little afraid.Not only her, but all the subordinates and servants of the Princess Mansion are not afraid of Su Mo, even if she has always been soft-spoken, this may be the aura of the superior.
Qing Yao didn't understand this, but she didn't dare to disturb Su Mo rashly, and she didn't dare to think about why her miss was so late today.But just as she took two steps with the basin in hand, she heard a "squeak" behind her, but the closed door finally opened!
"Miss, the water is cold, wait a minute, I'll get a new one right away." The little girl walked quickly with the basin in her hand.
Zhong Shao who opened the door looked at her leaving in a hurry, feeling a little embarrassed for no reason.
************************************************** *******
It has been nearly half a year since the arrest warrant was withdrawn, but it is hard to say how the situation in Beijing and China will be. The concubine De and the Cui family fell, but who can guarantee that no one cares about Zhong Shao now?
Zhong Shao was vigilant and careful, so she didn't dare to go directly to Beijing to find Su Mo after arriving in Anyang three days ago.But now it is undoubtedly a good choice to go back to Beijing with Su Mo's carriage and go directly to the Princess Mansion. At least the Princess Mansion is under the care of the Eldest Princess and Su Mo. People broke into the mansion wantonly.
The coachman driving the carriage had more discernment than Qingyao, the personal servant girl. When he saw Zhong Shao appearing, he recognized her. While he was stunned, he finally understood why his young lady suddenly wanted to stay overnight at Xiangguo Temple.However, although the coachman is just a small person, it is obviously not necessary for someone who can do things in the princess mansion, even if he is very discerning, he didn't ask a word.
Zhong Shao helped Su Mo to board the carriage, and he also lifted his robe and heeled up. On the contrary, Qingyao, the personal servant girl, was more embarrassed at this time.I always feel that it's not good to follow in, but it's so far away from the princess mansion, can she walk back without taking a carriage?
Don't be awkward, the little girl followed the carriage, huddled in a corner and didn't dare to say a word.And with her around, Zhong Shao and Su Mo naturally wouldn't talk about important topics. The two of them were quiet most of the time, but even if they were quiet without saying a word, Qing Yao, who was also in the carriage, still felt that Uncomfortable, as if a greasy sweetness was added to the air.
The driver who was driving the carriage outside was obviously much more at ease. With a wave of his whip, the carriage started to rattle away, unhurried but very steady.
Xiangguo Temple is located on the outskirts of Beijing, not very close to Anyang, but not very far either.Half an hour later, the carriage entered the city, and gradually there were more voices outside the carriage, but because of the cold weather, there were not many people walking outside, and it was not very lively.
Zhong Shao didn't lift the curtain of the car to see the long-lost capital city, but ever since she entered the city, she felt a little restless, and even frowned unconsciously, as if she was preoccupied.
Su Mo naturally noticed it, and asked her, "Ah Shao, what's the matter?"
Zhong Shao turned to look at her, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I... came back in a hurry, I didn't bring anything."
Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have moved all your things back from the county mansion first, and I can take care of anything that is missing." After she finished speaking, she looked Zhong Shao up and down, and then said : "However, you have grown taller these past few years. I'm afraid you won't be able to wear your old clothes."
Zhong Shao was very awkward, she lowered her head slightly: "No, I was in a hurry and forgot to bring a gift back."
Every time he went to business, Zhong Shao was able to collect a lot of rare treasures from the Western Regions, not to mention priceless, at least it was a novelty, and it was actually very good to give as a gift.However, she left in such a hurry that she hadn't even had time to count the goods she brought back from this trip, and she herself forgot to return after a long absence, to bring gifts for her mother and mother-in-law...
Hearing this, Su Mo couldn't help laughing, and laughed at her: "You are so embarrassing, I think it's a big deal, why should I care about these little things, can it be that A Niang is still missing something from you?"
Zhong Shao was not comforted at all, she still had a bitter face, she hadn't forgotten how picky her mother-in-law was to her back then!
It's a pity that I really forgot to prepare the gift. She has money, but it is even more perfunctory to buy a gift temporarily in the capital.So in the end, Zhong Shao could only follow Su Mo back to the princess mansion with a heart full of apprehension.
Naturally, the carriage went straight into the inner courtyard from the side door, and the two of them didn't delay much after getting off the carriage, and went straight to the eldest princess' bedroom.
Zhong Shao was still uneasy. She didn't bring any gifts back. It was actually an excuse. She was afraid that if she got into trouble and left for many years, the eldest princess, who had always disliked her, would hate herself even more.Now that she and Li Shu have been writing for four years, if the eldest princess doesn't like her, she will be kicked out every minute, and she will not be allowed to meet Su Mo again, then she really has no place to cry.
Well, Zhong Shao completely forgot what Su Mo said yesterday about the eldest princess's attitude after stepping into the princess mansion.
Guilt and apprehension made her walk more and more slowly, with the intention of delaying a little.But in fact, Zhong Shao's procrastination is completely useless, because just as Su Mo found out about her delay, he held her hand and was about to lead her away, when a group of people came out from the corner in front—Eldest princess, no, It should be the eldest princess who led a few maids and appeared directly in front of the two of them.
Su Mo saw it, and did not let go of Zhong Shao's hand, but raised his eyes and called out to the eldest princess: "A Niang."
Zhong Shao was a little hesitant. After feeling his hand being pinched by Su Mo, he tried his best to raise a smile, and stammered at the oncoming princess, "Ah, aunt."
The eldest princess walked over with a blank face, raised her hand and slapped Zhong Shao.After beating people into a daze, her expression softened, she stared at Zhong Shao for a few more times, and then said, "Since you're back, why don't you stay?"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left with the group of maids, her tone was actually much better than before.It's just that as soon as they met, they were slapped in the face, and they left after the slap. Zhong Shao was really stunned by the slap, and couldn't understand what the eldest princess's attitude meant.
On the contrary, Su Mo touched Zhong Shao's flushed cheek with distress, and asked her, "But it hurts?"
Zhong Shao shook his head in a daze, and there was no grievance or resentment, just a look of confusion, so: "Ah, this is..."
Su Mo just sighed, and gently rubbed the slapped cheek for Zhong Shao: "Auntie is annoyed that you are young and impulsive, and caused a catastrophe, so naturally I want to slap you. But this slap Now, this matter will be exposed, if you want to stay, it is up to you.”
When Zhong Shao heard this, a trace of shame first flashed in his eyes, and then his eyes lit up again.She pursed her lips, completely ignoring the burning pain on her face from being slapped by the Eldest Princess, so she leaned close to Su Mo and asked her: "This matter has been exposed, so does that mean that the reconciliation back then? The book, Auntie... can she also pretend that she didn't read it?"
When Su Mo heard this, she became a little annoyed. She put down her hand and said calmly, "You can ask Auntie about this."
The author has something to say: Zhong Shao (excited): The matter has been revealed, so can the matter of He Lishu be regarded as nothing?
Su Mo (hehe): You didn't even ask me about the divorce, and now you don't talk about remarriage, just pretend it never happened?
