"My mother was still talking about my marriage a few days ago."
Shen Yinxiao opened his eyes slightly.
The man holding him was stroking her black waterfall-like long hair for a moment.
Outside the half-open window, a few rays of skylight filtered in, covering the man's handsome eyebrows, tight jaw, protruding Adam's apple, naked chest, and nearly perfect muscle lines on his chest and abdomen, all of which were almost immersed in illusion. middle.
Lazy, confused.
He has a pair of extremely beautiful phoenix eyes, and his skin that is between jade and wheat color is almost the best combination of yin and yang.
Her voice had the aftertaste and hoarseness of an orgasm, and if you listen carefully, there was a hint of trembling: "My father is not in good health. He said he wanted to see me get married early so that he could have a grandchild."
The charming atmosphere in the room solidified instantly.
She took a slow breath and continued to smile slightly: "There is a law in my court. If a woman does not marry after she is twenty, she must pay a fine. I am nineteen this year."
"Don't worry about the fine, we won't charge you." Wei Cheng glanced at her.
The smile at the corner of Shen Yinxiao's mouth slowly stiffened.
He doesn't want to marry her.
The Wei family has been entrenched in Youzhou for a hundred years, with four generations and three princes, and it was famous for a while.
What's more, he is the only legitimate son of the governor of Youzhou.
In today's Yin Dynasty, the imperial power has fallen by the wayside. In Youzhou, which is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, the Wei family is the sky.
A small fine, just a drizzle.
"No need to bother." Shen Yinxiao sat up and arranged his long messy hair as if nothing had happened.
Wei Cheng frowned slightly when he heard this and looked at the woman who suddenly stood up to straighten her hair and bowed to look for her own clothes among the pile of messy clothes on the ground.
When he bowed, the brocade quilt slipped off, revealing the rounded curves of his waist, abdomen and groin. The jade-colored skin was covered with red marks left by him, especially the red marks on his knees and wrists.
He paused, his Adam's apple rolling under his tight skin.
She raised her hand and rubbed the woman's round buttocks. She frowned and turned back to glare at him angrily, as if she was dissatisfied with his frivolous behavior. However, her clothes were not covering her body and there were traces of desire all over. The lethality is too weak.
Like a cat showing its teeth and claws.
"I want to drink water." His voice was hoarse.
A feeling of sullenness arose in Shen Yinxiao's heart, but she quickly suppressed it. Thinking that the golden hairpin he had just given was still on her head, she would just endure it for the last time.
She gathered her underwear to cover her breasts, walked to the table, poured a cup of cold tea, and handed it to him.
Wei Cheng glanced at her chest, which was blocked by her arms. The groove was deep.
There is no three hundred taels of silver here.
He took a sip of tea and said quietly: "The fine is quite large. Forty taels of silver is enough for you to play music at Cuihua Tower for two years. Or is it already decided?"
"Um."
"who?"
"A scholar."
"student?"
Wei Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Very good. This house is my gift to you. You might as well get married earlier."
He drank the rest of the tea in one gulp, got out of bed, put on his boots, picked up the handkerchief and wiped it randomly twice.
The old and new scars on the body overlap, but they do not affect the beauty of the body.
The lines of strong muscles are neither more nor less, and the two ravines on the lower abdomen are winding downwards. Under the calm and calm skin, there are wild and untamable bones and flesh.
Shen Yinxiao's face, which had faded, turned slightly red again, and he turned his head away from looking at the naked man in the room.
Ever since Shen Yinxiao was molested by two gangsters while playing music in Cuihua Tower a few years ago and was rescued by Wei Cheng, the relationship between the two has become unclear.
It's okay to say that Wei Cheng is not good. Shen Yinxiao's father was seriously ill, but it was Wei Cheng who generously donated thousands of dollars each time. He also helped her hire famous doctors to find elixirs.
He said he was nice, but in the past few years, the two of them had done everything. He also built a villa on Huaiye Street specifically for the two of them to have trysts. Even so, he never said that he would marry her, and never said that he would marry her. If I didn't take her to see Mother Wei, she wouldn't even be considered an outhouse.
She knew that based on her family background, wanting to be Wei Cheng's head wife was a bit wishful thinking, and she didn't want to be a concubine either... But there was no way, she was the only daughter in the family, her father was in poor health, her mother was weak and had no master, and she was living in Youyou. In a place like this, there is no backing, and sooner or later people will be devastated.
She bit her lip, suppressed the shame in her heart, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you really willing to give up?"
Wei Cheng paused.
He turned his head, Shen Yinxiao's eyes were slightly red, her hair was scattered on her cheeks, a golden crabapple hairpin was inserted diagonally in her hair, precariously, and the woman was looking at him faintly.
After several years of skin-to-skin contact, she knew very well what kind of woman the man in front of her liked most. Sure enough, Wei Cheng sighed, turned around and hugged her onto his lap, hugged her waist, and pinched her. Bundle.
"It's not that you insist on getting married, why should you blame me?"
Shen Yinxiao lowered her head and buried her head into his neck, biting his neck as if to vent her anger, and started sucking. Before she could leave a dark mark, Wei Cheng pushed her away: "No."
Over the years, he never let her leave any trace on him.
"Why?" she asked him with red eyes.
Wei Cheng felt a slight feeling of dryness in his heart, and he couldn't explain why for the moment.
"Will you...marry me?" Shen Yinxiao gritted his teeth and struggled to say a few words.
He sighed, "I don't want to."
It was like a basin of cold water was poured down on my head, making my whole body feel cold.
"I said......"
Shen Yinxiao smiled and interrupted him: "I'm talking nonsense. I remember it. I'm afraid I won't be able to serve the second young master in the future. I'm afraid my fiancé will be unhappy."
Wei Cheng frowned.
He squatted down, squinted his eyes, and looked at her.
The curtains fluttered.
The clothes and boots he had originally put on were scattered on the ground again, maybe because Shen Yinxiao was about to abandon him, or maybe Shen Yinxiao rejected his kindness. The love affair had a hint of anger, and the woman's stiff body Being manipulated here and there, the raging desire seemed to drown her, temporarily forgetting the cold war just now.
In a state of confusion and infatuation, Wei Cheng touched her cheek, forcefully stuffed his fingers into her mouth, stirred her, and murmured: "Why don't you get married, follow me, and I can support your family for the rest of your life."
The boiling blood in Shen Yinxiao's body instantly cooled down.
"No."
————
It was already noon when I packed up and came out.
She had been tormented by Wei Cheng for almost a long time. She didn't know how long she slept. She just woke up and subconsciously touched the pillow. The quilt was already cold. She didn't know when he left.
It felt like a large piece of my heart had been cut out, and it was empty, and the boundless astringency overflowed into a sea of bitterness.
Tears trickled into the temples one drop at a time and disappeared.
He did what he said, turned around and left without any hesitation.
In the past few years, for that little expectation, she had risked her shame to accompany him in his extravagant debauchery, just so that he could have some affection.
She shouldn't have fantasized about being able to climb high branches and fly to the branches to become a phoenix.
In recent years, she has been a joke.
When she got home, Shen's mother had been waiting for a long time, looking restlessly at the door.
"Didn't you say you came back after taking a leave? Why have you been gone for so long?"
"They took me and chatted for a while." Shen Yinxiao changed the subject, "Aren't you going on a blind date? Where is Matchmaker Xu?"
"Seeing that you haven't come back for a long time, Matchmaker Xu went there first. Let's go there quickly. I thought you were unwilling."
Father Shen was an honest hawker. When he saw his daughter coming back, he opened his mouth but stopped talking. He still winked at his wife, and then Mother Shen remembered.
"Yinxiao, your father wants to borrow some money from you."
Father Shen's face turned red and he felt a little worried.
Shen Yinxiao touched his money bag: "What does my family say about borrowing it? How much does it cost?"
"Hey, your father also wants to get you more dowry, just twenty taels. During these days, isn't your father always thinking about setting up a shop on the street? He happened to find it today. The shop was originally a The shop owner had to move, so it became vacant. Your father inquired about it and found out that the location of the shop is very good and the rent is cheap. It only costs thirty taels a year, and you can pay it for three years at a time."
"One hundred taels?" Shen Yinxiao hesitated.
"Yes, although it is said that you have to pay for three years at a time, it is cheap. In the past, your father would push the cart and work from dawn to dusk to sell beancurd on the street. Now there is an empty shop. In the future, it will not be exposed to the wind and sun, and there will be more By selling some bean curds, you can save more for your dowry. If the owner hadn't been urging you to rent it out, your father wouldn't have asked you for it because he was afraid that the shop would be robbed."
Shen Yinxiao took out his purse and gave the money to Father Shen. Father Shen happily took it. Mother Shen hurriedly urged her out when the matter was over.
Matchmaker Xu is a famous matchmaker in Jixian County. Shen's mother begged her for a long time before agreeing on the marriage. Shen Yinxiao had some expectations for Wei Cheng yesterday, but today they have all gone. She is just waiting to see the man. Determined man.
Mother Shen took her in a hired donkey cart to the appointed place, which was a tea shop. Before entering, Mother Shen carefully looked at Shen Yinxiao's outfit and then pulled her in after being very satisfied. .
Shen Yinxiao changed into a newly made lotus root pink cross-neck long dress in the car. She had a pair of silver hairpins on her bun and a pair of pearl earrings on her ears. She also splashed makeup on the ground casually in the car, which was light and elegant. So pretty, but just right.
Li You, who was originally sitting, was stunned for a moment when he saw her. It wasn't until Shen's mother pulled Shen Yinxiao closer that he suddenly stood up and saluted in a panic.
The matchmaker took Mother Shen away.
The two of them were left alone to sit facing each other.
The two of them had never met before, so it was a bit awkward to sit down to drink tea for the first time. Shen Yinxiao had only heard about the man in front of him from Mother Xu's mouth.
Li You is twenty-two this year, a widower with an old mother, and is still raising a four-year-old son alone. His previous wife died in childbirth when giving birth to this child, and they have not discussed marriage again until now.
A widower who has lost his wife and still carries an oil bottle is really not a good match for a girl who is about to marry. However, these days, Shen's mother has compared young talents from hundreds of families, and she is either picky about Shen Yinxiao's age, or she is picky about Shen Yinxiao's age. They just dislike her family for having no children, or they don't want Shen Yinxiao to show up in public and play music at Cuihua House, or the conditions are so bad that even Shen's mother can't stand her.
Li You is the only one who doesn't mind Shen Yinxiao's errand work in Cuihua Building at all. Moreover, he still has several acres of paddy fields at home. It is said that his ancestors were still royal family members, but the favors passed down from generation to generation. Now he is just a dependant. A scholar who opened a private school to make a living.
The matchmaker kept saying that they were a perfect match.
