When Lu Shen came back, it was already midnight, and he saw lights lit inside and outside the house, making it look like it was brightly lit. Two maids were waiting on the steps. When they saw him coming, they immediately opened the curtain and said, "Your Majesty!"

Lu Shen asked: "Didn't you sleep?"

Kingfisher then said: "Miss Sixteen is here. Madam has been talking for a while. Now there is no sound. She must have fallen asleep."

Lu Shen slowly walked in, opened the bed curtain, and saw Lin Rong holding a scroll in one hand and gently patting the little girl's back with the other. He immediately frowned: "How can you let her sleep here? How unbecoming is she? Hurry up and get someone to hold her." go out."

Lin Rong snorted and smelled the alcohol on Lu Shen's body. He closed the book and glanced at him coldly: "Didn't you send someone to pick her up?"

Lu Shen was speechless, sitting on the edge of the bed, taking out a bottle of Biyingying ointment from his sleeve, grabbing Lin Rong's jade feet from the embroidered quilt, and gently pressed his thumbs on the blood blisters. He rubbed his hands, and then gradually moved up from Yuebai's flower pants. He saw her frowning and about to have a fit. She coughed and let go of her hands: "You said your legs were sore this morning. Ask the maid to rub them from time to time."

Lin Rong snorted, covered himself with the brocade quilt, and said nothing else.

With such a cover-up, Lin Rong was used to ignoring his words, and Lu Shen was also used to it, just sitting there, speechless again.

After a long time, Lin Rong raised his head, his eyes filled with candlelight dancing in the tent: "Do you have anything else to say?"

Lu Shen thought that this meant chasing him away, and he didn't dare to offend her one after another. Just as he was about to stand up and walk out, he saw the woman tilting her head: "You want me to follow you from now on, that's fine, but you have to promise me three things."

Chapter 64

Will you follow him wholeheartedly from now on?

Lu Shen's heart was shaken when he heard this, but his face remained calm. He lowered his eyes to hide his burning gaze. After a while, he raised his head to look at Lin Rong, but he didn't accept any of the three conditions. His tone suddenly became restrained and calm: "You are me." It is only natural for a wife to take care of her husband, teach her children, and serve around her. Mrs. Kuang's duty is to be obedient. If Zhenyi is the leader, where will you go if you don't follow me? What are the conditions? After two days, I returned to Yongzhou. You must never say such outrageous and rude words in front of your elders again."

Lin Rong gritted his teeth and even heard a hint of mockery in his tone. She knew that a person like Lu Shen would never know how to speak well. At least he was unwilling to speak to her well, or he could not understand human speech at all.

Lin Rong wished he could bite him and tell this man to get out of here. He waited for a long time before he could speak. He paused and said coldly: "What madam? Cui Shiyi, the Cui family's daughter, died a long time ago. Even the funeral has not been completed." Done, where did the 'husband' come from? As for the 'godson', I don't know how much he drank in Xuanzhou's Bizizitang, let alone say.'"

Lu Shen immediately became speechless as soon as he picked up such old things. He poured a cup of tea leisurely, brought it to Lin Rong, and sighed: "If you have anything you want me to do, just tell me?"

The little 16-year-old girl beside her murmured in her sleep: "Sister Eleven, Sister Six, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

Lin Rong leaned forward and patted her back repeatedly. After she fell asleep again, he finally took the tea and put it aside. Then he said: "Mr. Cui of Jiangzhou, you can do whatever you want with the man. It's just a woman, a child, a family member, foreign affairs." I know very little, can you forgive me as appropriate? Forget it about my mother, my sisters are the only ones who are really innocent."

This item is very easy to handle. Lu Shen nodded: "This is easy to handle. I will immediately write to the governor of Jiangzhou. Except for the chief culprit, all members of the Cui family, regardless of gender, old or young, will be given back their meager property to enable them to live. Don’t be implicated.”

Lin Rong understood Lu Shen's dislike for the Cui family very well. Seeing that he agreed so happily, not only the female family members, but also most of the men also forgave him, which was quite surprising. Seeing this, Lu Shen chuckled: "Do you think I am such a murderous person?" He asked, "What else?"

Lin Rong paused, looked at Lu Shen, and said in a calm but firm tone: "The second condition is that I don't want to have children within three years."

When a woman gets married, the most important thing is to have children, but she just doesn't want to have children, or maybe she just doesn't want to have his children, Lu Shen! That Liang Qi who eloped, maybe he would be happy with it? It's not good to like anyone, but you like that useless person who wears pink hairpins and has no power to restrain a chicken?

Lu Shen remained silent, his face turning green and white for a long time. He gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "For one year at most, there will be no heir apparent in Yongzhou, and neither the civil or military affairs will be stable. You are the original wife and the clan's wife. For this reason, even if I I promise you and will cover it up for you. As time goes by, the elders in the family will definitely not agree if they find out."

Lin Rong didn't accept his words: "I just said that I don't have children, and I didn't ask you not to have children. You have a lot of concubines. You just have to have children with them. Maybe you can have three children a year?" When you choose the heir apparent, are you afraid that you will be spoiled for choice?"

Lu Shen made her temples beat with anger, and decided to end this article immediately. If she continued talking, the woman might say something that would make her vomit blood, so he cut off and said: "Okay, what about the third condition?"

Lin Rong saw that his face was getting more and more ugly, and he seemed to be non-negotiable, so he tried to sound as sincere as possible: "Okay, one year at a time. The third condition, if... if the sex fades in the future, you If you are tired of me and are willing to ask me to leave, please send me back to Jiangzhou."

Jiangzhou, Jiangzhou, Jiangzhou again!

For a moment, Lu Shen felt that the hand pricked by the hairpin suddenly stung. The pain moved with his breath, as if his chest was tight and aching. He snorted coldly and stood up abruptly: "Cui Shiyi, don't push yourself too far."

Then he walked away, took a bright ball gauze lantern from Shen Yan's hand, walked out of the yard, and walked towards the path. He walked for an unknown amount of time before he stopped at the bluestone by the lake.

Shen Yan followed behind and saw that his expression softened slightly, so he stepped forward to persuade him: "Master, I heard from the maids that Madam met Miss Sixteen in the afternoon and cried for a long time. She must have felt uncomfortable. It's early at this time on weekdays. I just went to bed. Today I was specially waiting for you to speak..."

In this case, past advice is useful. But today, when Lu Shen heard this, his face turned darker and he scolded: "Noisy!"

Shen Yan didn't dare to speak anymore, and waited aside with his hands down, but at this moment, snow suddenly started to fall again, and it was densely packed, gradually turning into a vast expanse of white. Shen Yan stood there, his breath turning into frost. He stood there for an unknown amount of time, his hands and feet felt cold, and then he heard Lu Shen's command: "Hold the lamp!"

Seeing that he had not been told to go anywhere, and that there was only one dormitory arranged at the inn, Shen Yan tentatively returned along the path. He walked uneasily for a while, but when he saw no objection, he felt relieved.

Lin Rong was used to Lu Shen's moodiness. She didn't take it seriously. She stretched out her hand to close the curtain and continued to lie on the bed and read.

Kingfisher, on the other hand, brought in the newly poured Tang Pozi, took some scissors, and stood in front of the bed to cut the wick: "Isn't the County Master still asleep? Reading at night requires your eyes to be careful."

Lin Rong shook his head and turned the page leisurely: "I can't sleep, so I read five pages every day, and I haven't finished reading it yet."

Kingfisher covered the glass lampshade and saw that Lin Rong still had a leisurely look on his face. He sighed: "Look at how angry the Lord is. I guess he is really interested in the county master."

Lin Rong glanced at her: "Why did you start saying this?"

Kingfisher shook his head: "This slave is just thinking, there is a way to live if you go, and there is a way to live if you stay. No matter you go or stay, you have to live well, so as not to lose the flesh and blood of these more than ten years old." .”

Hearing this, Lin Rong put down the book, reached out to pinch her cheek, and nodded with a smile: "You are right. However, a woman can make many mistakes and take many wrong paths in her life, but she cannot just have children randomly. As long as a woman can make many mistakes and take many wrong paths in her life. If we don’t have random children, there will still be a chance for correction.”

Kingfisher half understood and nodded naively.

After Lin Rong said that, he immediately ordered the maids to bring in pen and ink, and wrote a few prescriptions after careful consideration: "These medicines are all good for nourishing qi and blood. You can catch them and pick out these flavors." , if he comes in the future, you can fry a bowl and prepare it."

Kingfisher was puzzled: "Didn't the Lord already agree to the county master? Should he be so careful about this Bizitang?"

Lin Rong felt that Kingfisher's words were strange: "When did he agree? Didn't he just leave in shame again?"

Kingfisher only smiled and shook his head: "County Lord, the Lord will definitely agree."

Lin Rong gave her an angry look and suddenly thought of the boy with boils. He picked up his pen again, carefully wrote down the prescription and doctor's instructions, and told Feng Xiao: "I don't know when we will set off. You will send it off early tomorrow morning. Don't mix up internal and external use. If the child is ill." He kept repeating it again, you ask the family to bring him to the inn, and I will check his pulse again."

Feng Xiao put the flute away and murmured strangely: "Is the county master's medical skills so powerful? He can even cure boils as big as a bowl? I heard that doctors need to study for more than ten or two years before they can prescribe prescriptions. Woolen cloth?"

When Feng Xiao said this, even Kingfisher looked over curiously. Lin Rong just smiled and did not explain: "It's getting late, go down and have a rest!"

Jade Bird was hesitating when she saw Junhou pushing the door open and snowflakes pouring into the ground. She immediately pulled Feng Xiao's sleeves, closed the door and retreated.

Lin Rong put down his pen, with a smile on his face as he was chatting with the maid: "What? I didn't scold you enough just now..."

Before he finished speaking, he asked Lu Shen to press his waist against the folding screen of red sandalwood and inlaid with flowers. Their lips and teeth were touching, and they could hardly breathe. Lu Shen took her lips in her mouth and slowly moved down until she reached the bulging roundness.

After a long time, when Lin Rong could barely push him away, her clothes had been taken off to her waist, and only a green tube top was half hanging on her chest. She panicked and looked at the bed inside, and saw that the bed curtains were down, and Xiao Shi was wearing it. Liuye didn't wake up and breathed a sigh of relief: "Why are you so crazy? Xiaoliu is still asleep?"

Lu Shenli ignored him and pulled Lin Rong into his arms. He was panting heavily and said in a low voice: "If I agree to your promise, you must do what you said. From now on, you will be devoted to being the wife of the Lu family. You are not allowed to think about Jiangzhou or Qingzhou."

Lin Rong cursed in his heart, I only said I would follow you and did not add the four words "destined to death", but you did add some words in it. For a moment, I thought of Kingfisher's words: The king will definitely agree!

Seeing that she was stunned and didn't answer for a long time, Lu Shen leaned over to pick up the woman's earlobe, causing her to flinch and her voice trembled: "Okay, since you responded to me, I will naturally respond to you."

As soon as Lin Rong finished speaking, he heard that Xiao Liu seemed to have woken up and called out vaguely: "Sister Eleven..."

The little girl didn't hear the response and woke up suddenly. She opened the curtain and saw that there was no one in the room. She burst into tears and said, "Sister Eleven, where have you been?"

Lin Rong suddenly froze there, glared at Lu Shen bitterly, and while packing his clothes, he agreed: "Xiao Liu, don't be afraid. I just had a cup of tea and accidentally spilled it on my clothes. Wait until I change it." It’s out.”

After that, he trimmed his hair and then walked out from the screen and sat on the edge of the bed: "It's okay, go to sleep!"

Xiao Liu lay down again and suddenly saw a blush on Lin Rong's neck. He took out a small porcelain bottle from under the pillow and said, "Sister Eleven, is there spring moss on your neck? I have a bottle of newly made rose saltpeter here. I'll apply it for you."

Lin Rong smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, I'll be fine tomorrow, it doesn't matter."

Xiao Liu blinked his eyes and suddenly saw a man coming out of the screen. Although she had never seen Lu Shen, she had seen Lu Shen's portrait. She was so frightened that she knelt down and followed the rules taught by her nuns and said, "I am Cui Ao, Cui Sixiniang, and I pay my respects to you!"

Lu Shen ignored her and walked to Lin Rong, touching the red mark on her neck with his thumb: "It's really tender, it turns red when you touch it."

Lin Rong suddenly turned pale. He didn't know what Lu Shen was going to do. Seeing that he had a wound wrapped around his palm, he turned around and asked, "What's wrong with your hand?"

It was okay if she didn't ask, but when Lu Shen asked, he immediately snorted: "You are very clear-sighted!" He faced the little girl and said, "Get up. From now on, follow your sister and call her brother-in-law."

Chapter 65

Although the little girl was young, she could hear Lu Shen's impatience. She raised her head after hearing this, but did not dare to look directly into Lu Shen's eyes. She could only vaguely see his frowning and cold face, which was quite scary. He immediately got off the bed and said with a cry: "Sister...brother-in-law, I forgot to talk to Sister Eleven, so I will leave now..."

Lin Rong took a cloak and put it on Xiao Liu, and said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, it's nothing. If the ground is cool, go under the quilt..."

Seeing this hesitation, Xiao Liu saw Lu Shen looking over with a frown, and was so frightened that he immediately shook his head: "Sister Eleven, I will come to see you tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he didn't even bother to put on his shoes, opened the curtain and went outside.

Lin Rong exclaimed and immediately chased after her. She didn't know whether she was cold or frightened, but her face was extremely pale. Lin Rong hugged her and comforted her for a long time: "It's okay, he's just like this." At the same time, he ordered Jingqin: "Take her to sleep in the warm pavilion at the back. It's warm. Don't let her sleep alone when she is young. You two stay with her. .”

The little girl was just afraid of Lu Shen, but when she saw Lin Rong's comfort and love, she burst into tears: "Sister Eleven, did I do something wrong again, and did I get you into trouble? They said I did something wrong, and that's why I was arrested Sent to the Northland."

Lin Rong felt sad when he heard this, and personally led her to Nuange: "No, Xiaoliu didn't do anything wrong."

He waited for her to fall asleep and then returned to the inner room.

Lu Shen seemed to have just taken a shower. His hair was wet, and he was wearing a fine silk white lining. He was lying on the bed with his head up, his eyebrows becoming more and more sparse. He was holding a lotus green sweat towel in his hand. He heard Lin Rong's footsteps and said: "Why don't you ever embroider anything on your sweat towel? If this kind of satin is wetted twice, the color will no longer be visible."

He must have been asked to relieve himself when he was messing around behind the screen just now. Lin Rong stepped forward and wanted to pull her back, but she was told to hold on tightly, and with a little force, she was pulled into his arms.

Lin Rong was so angry that she stretched out her hand to pinch the soft flesh on his waist: "What are you doing to scare a child?"

Lu Shen leaned over and looked at her, thoughtfully: "You got seriously ill in Jiangzhou, and you forgot everything. Your temper also changed drastically. You were angry with your servants, and you also loved this clan girl. . When I was in Luoyang, I heard that your splendid clothes could not be penetrated by water for a second time, but now it is..."

Lin Rong was holding the faded lotus green sweat scarf in her hand. She asked him to stop. She felt weak and weakly pushed him: "You...you...get up..."

During the struggle, his clothes fell apart, Lu Shen's Adam's apple rolled, his eyes darkened, covering the pair of trembling soft white jade, he said in a hoarse voice: "Do it like last time in the library..."

Lin Rong frowned: "Don't even think about it..."

Before he finished speaking, the gilded crane-style tent hook was caressed down, and only a moist whimpering sound could be heard.

Although we had been ordered to set off early the next day, due to such a delay, we had to rest only at dawn and set off at noon.

At noon that day, the snow stopped, but the wind was still strong. Lin Rong was sitting in the carriage. It was fine at first, wrapped in mink fur and holding the heater. However, after an hour or two, her lower abdomen hurt and her hands and feet were cold. stand up. I turned away from the girl and took a look. She was indeed menstruating, but she felt a little relieved. I forgot to take birth control during this period, but luckily I didn't get pregnant. Kingfisher and Fengxiao hurriedly cooked brown sugar and red date soup: "County Master, warm yourself up, does it hurt too much?"

Xiaoliu hadn't had her period yet, so she naturally didn't understand. She just thought Lin Rong was sick: "Sister Eleven, are you sick?"

Lin Rong shook his head. He was in so much pain that he didn't want to speak, but he still smiled: "You are warm, just lie down with Sister Eleven for a while..."

Just as he was talking, Shen Yan from outside reported back: "Madam, the Lord has been riding a horse for three hours, and there is no medicine for the injury on his hand... Madam, can you give me some advice?"

Lin Rong lifted the curtain and looked forward, and saw Lu Shen standing on the horse, already covered in snow. The horse moved slightly, and snow fell, and he frowned and said: "Whoever tries to persuade him patiently will freeze to death!"

When he set off at noon, the guy saw Xiaoliu and Kingfisher sitting in the carriage, so he rode off with a sullen face.

Kingfisher smiled and said: "County Master, Miss Sixteen looks sleepy and can't even open her eyes. The other carriage is wider, and her hands and feet can be spread out, so she can sleep upright. I will take her to have a rest."

Lin Rong thought for a while and then waved helplessly. Lu Shen was unhappy, but he had nothing to do with it. He must be angry at the person he serves. He ordered Shen Yan through the curtain: "Invite him over." After thinking for a while, , this guy has always refused to go down the steps, and added: "Just say that I am not feeling well, and ask him to come over. I have something to say to him."

Shen Yan responded, but after a while, Lu Shen came over on horseback, holding on to the riding whip to open the curtain, and said impatiently: "What's the matter?" He saw Lin Rong's face was pale and his expression was gloomy, and then he got off the horse and got out of the car. He put his hand on her forehead: "Are you cold?"

Lin Rong took his hand away angrily, took out a small medicine box from the drawer on the side, and opened the bloody bandage. He saw that the wound was not big but very deep, with white flesh and split open. Qidao: "Is it possible to prick a wound like this with chopsticks while eating?"

On the other hand, he carefully applied the medicine, bandaged it, packed the medicine box, and said: "Don't use this hand these days!" After that, he gathered his mink fur, turned his body, and lay down without saying a word. On the side.
