Chapter 55: Praying Mantis, Oriole, and Cicada
There is no trace of the boat passing by.
Although it was already cold winter, the more the canal section the northwards, the freezing it became. Therefore, although the waterway was the fastest, Qin Sheng did not choose the waterway and took Chu Yu to enjoy the water.
However, it was heard that the palace people who led the way said that from Yilinzhou to Shangjing this year, there was only a little ice frost and it was not frozen. The people in the palace frequently urged them. Seeing that they were pitiful and it was difficult to be a human being in the middle, Chu Yu advised Qin Sheng to choose the waterway to Shangjing from here.
"Anyway, I have to go to Beijing. Isn't it the same day earlier or late?" Chu Yu looked at the floating ice flowing through the side of the boat and said lightly.
"Yes, let's stretch your head and shrank it." Huo Erniang ate a rock candy plum, and the sourness made her unable to help but squint her eyes and tremble.
When Chu Yu heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "You are really... the Central Plains text is a little progressive. This slang is so easy to use, but where is it just to stretch your head?"
She murmured to herself, it is still unknown who was the knife in the end.
...
Huo Erniang ate a candy plum, tried to eat candy skewers of apples, hawthorns, etc., but she felt that the taste was great, so she grabbed a handful of her to make Shui Yao happy.
Tang Sesse rushed over and looked down at the paper bag on the table. The pound of rock candy that Chu Yu had brought was now only two strings. She couldn't help but get angry and glared at Huo Erniang's back and sneered: "There are not many. Everyone on the boat eats one or two strings. You are so generous to others!"
After saying that, she was about to get the string of rock candy plums in anger, but she didn't want to look down and saw that there was nothing in the paper bag in front of her, only sticky candy stains left.
Tang Sesse turned his head and saw Huo Yao appearing at some point. At this moment, he was holding two strings in his hand and heading to the stern of the boat.
On the stern of the boat, a petite figure stood with his arms in his arms, looking at the scenery around him. It was not Huo Sanniang, but who was it?
"Damn it, damn it, I'll bully people. Next time I see that I won't release some poison and kill you greedy ghosts!" Tang Sesse was so angry that if she hadn't been a stable person, the little girl should have jumped now.
Seeing this, Chu Yu couldn't help laughing. He was really a child, so he raised his hand to pat her on the shoulder: "Okay, okay, don't be upset. The third master doesn't like eating these sour and sweet things. I still have a few strings in my cabin. I will give you some at that time."
The gods in the story book love to drink tea, and the dew is the soup, which is extremely elegant. However, Qin Sheng's cold and unparalleled appearance is sweet and milk-eating. Since she came back from Iwojima, she has rarely touched the tea soup. Today, she took these sweet and sour things and originally wanted to make her lover happy, but found that he only likes sweetness, not sourness, and his mouth is extremely choked.
I don't like eating, so I don't want to take a second bite after touching it.
When Tang Sesse heard this, his eyes lit up, and then he said seriously: "It's still the head of the sect who has a conscience. Unlike them, they're given conscience to men."
When Chu Yu heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
If Qin Sheng hadn't liked to eat this thing, she would probably not be willing to contribute, and she would probably have been classified as an unscrupulous person by Seser.
Chu Yu went to his cabin to get the candy skewers to make the little girl Tang Sesse happy, but someone in the room took two candy skewers to approach another woman and make her happy, but the result was not very good.
"Give."
Huo Sanniang was standing at the stern of the boat and looking at it, but suddenly she heard someone talking behind her. As soon as she lowered her head, she saw two strings of crystal clear rock candy handed to her.
"No need, keep the Huo Yao Star Lord for yourself." Huo Sanniang looked at Huo Yao behind her and said lightly.
Huo Yao paused and looked at her petite back for a moment: "Why, are you still angry?"
Huo Sanniang turned her face and sneered: "Angry, you have such a big face, but since you and I have a clear understanding, please don't bother me again!"
Huo Yao looked at her and narrowed his eyes slightly: "If you are not angry, why would you not accept the kindness of your colleagues?"
"Sorry, you are not my colleague. You are loyal to Mr. Qin San, and I am loyal to Xiaoyu. My lady. One day, your third master dares to let my lady down. Do you believe it or not, I will kill you in minutes. If you can't kill you, you will not lift your body!" Huo Sanniang turned around and looked at him and sneered, then walked over to him with big scissors.
Huo Yao stood sideways in front of her: "Sanniang..."
"Don't call me, I feel uncomfortable and disgusting." Huo Sanniang suddenly knocked him away with disgust and went straight to her room.
Huo Yao looked at her back with an extremely complicated expression.
...
The boat is full of people, Chu Yu lives a comfortable life. He eats and drinks and enjoys the scenery when he has nothing to do. Sometimes when he encounters beautiful and interesting places, Qin Sheng will let the boat go beside and lead her to play.
If she was bored on the boat, she would practice martial arts under the guidance of Huo Yao. Because she was Mu Yao's disciple, and Mu Yao stayed in the embroidery workshop this time and did not come out, so she would let others give advice.
As for why Qin Sheng didn't end up in person...
"I am afraid that if I teach you, you will become possessed by the devil." Someone said warmly, and then Chu Yu pinched her waist fiercely and bit her collarbone.
Isn’t it just that she thinks her martial arts foundation is too bad? She doesn’t have dirty words to curse people!
...
In short, Qin Sheng's indulgence made her life extremely comfortable, but she also made the two eunuchs on the boat anxious, but she was helpless.
These two eunuchs are quite smart. They lay on their back boat every day waiting for Chu Yu to show their faces in the front boat. Once they happen to meet Chu Yu and show up in slackening, they will look at Chu Yu with tears in their faces from afar.
Although I don’t see Chu Yu often, the effect is still good. Chu Yu felt a little overwhelmed as he looked at it, so he planned to discuss the itinerary with Qin Sheng this day.
"San Master..." She went into her room, pushed the door open, and smelled a faint smell of Chinese medicine in the room.
She was stunned for a moment, then she saw a small porcelain bowl in the tray where Hongxiu turned around and cleaned up.
"San Master, are you sick?" She stepped forward a few steps and looked at the bowl in the Hongxiu Tray. Sure enough, she saw that there was a medicine juice at the bottom of the bowl inside, and then looked at Qin Sheng nervously.
People who practice martial arts, especially those who have practiced the internal cultivation level, are not likely to get sick, but once they get sick, they are mostly not minor illnesses.
Hong Xiu pursed her lips and then looked at Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng put the handkerchief in his hand and said to Chu Yu: "It's nothing, but we're on the boat, and the moisture is quite heavy, so use some medicine to remove moisture."
Chu Yu was still a little suspicious when he heard this: "But, haven't you always taken the pills given by Lao Jin? Why did you drink the medicine today?"
She knew that when she was at sea, Qin Sheng had always taken this kind of warm-up medicine to remove wet.
Qin Sheng paused, then smiled faintly: "The sea is damp and hot, not damp and cold, so the medicine is naturally different."
When Chu Yu heard this, he looked at his expression and saw that there was no mistake. Although he was a little suspicious, when he saw Hongxiu looking calm, she did not continue asking, only looking at Qin Sheng hesitating for a moment: "Third Master, how long is it to go to Beijing?"
Qin Sheng looked at the report and asked, "Why, who is gossiping in your ear again?"
Chu Yu shook his head and sat down beside him: "No one is gossiping in my ears, but I said before that there is no big difference between Beijing in the morning and Beijing in the evening, right? Why bother with the people below? After the New Year is early, we can go to Mobei early."
Qin Sheng stopped writing and handed the report in his hand to Hongxiu on the side to sort it out. Then he raised his hand and held her tenderness and said warmly: "I originally wanted to take you to have a lot of fun, but since you have been persisting, let's speed up the trip."
Chu Yu nodded and smiled: "Okay, actually I want to see my adoptive father sooner."
Qin Sheng paused, his expression was a little light: "Yes."
Seeing that he looked a little cold, Chu Yu sighed secretly, then held his hand back: "I know you don't like people from the royal family, but I am now the lord of Yu'an County. Besides, you don't know that Prince Lian, he has always been a good old man."
It completely subverted her imagination of people in the royal family.
Qin Sheng looked at her for a moment, lowered her eyes and smiled coldly: "I don't like any of them. As for Old Man Lian, you are his adopted daughter, but don't forget that he has an adopted son. For such people who have never had brains in their lifetime, it's better to have less contact, so as to avoid brainlessness and contagion."
When Chu Yu heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "You are so jealous that you are ridiculous."
Didn’t Prince Lian just accept Gong Shaochen as his adopted son? He was blinded. Now that she thought about it carefully, she felt that Gong Shaochen saved Prince Lian so coincidentally, but was probably not a "coincidence" but a premeditation, including the fact that Prince Lian was poisoned by her fake hand. If it weren’t for Gong Shaochen, the “adopted son” next to Prince Lian, it would be impossible.
Prince Lian is a prince of a country after all. If he could be easily poisoned by the people of the martial arts world, the emperor and the Empress Dowager Nan would probably have died many times.
Qin Sheng sneered: "Forget it, let's speed up the trip."
Chu Yu gently tucked his palm with his fingertips, blinked his big eyes and said softly: "I know you are considering me, yes, I made peach yogurt cheese in the kitchen cabin. I should have been ready now. Should I try it?"
Qin Sheng looked at her eager and small-minded eyes and softened her eyes: "Okay."
...
Seeing Chu Yu leave and close the cabin door, Qin Sheng lowered her amber eyes, her smile gradually stopped, and she just took another report and asked: "What's the matter prepared by Aunt Jin?"
Hongxiu said respectfully: "Riyao has already rushed to Mobei. The latest news from my aunt is almost ready. Yueyao has found the fox's tail. My aunt asked if she should close the net first and be more safe?"
Qin Sheng put the report on the news, then turned around and walked to the window, looked at the blue and gray clouds far outside the window for a moment, and then said lightly: "No, let our bait be released and wait."
Hongxiu looked at his Xiubai's back and couldn't help but be stunned: "Do you have to wait? I thought..."
"I thought I couldn't wait to peel the skin of the dog fox, that's right." Qin Sheng lowered his eyes and admired his jade bone hand carefully. His thin lips bent and his smile was as warm as water, but it made people shudder.
"I have been waiting for these years. If the dog and fox had not lost some measure of coveting the fish, maybe I would not have had the chance to close the net so soon. However, I have never liked to stay at the beginning and end when doing things, and liked to kill all the things. How could I not wait for this short time?"
When Hongxiu heard this, he immediately lowered his head: "It's the ignorance of his subordinates."
How could she think that the master loves beauty but not the country? If only the little fish in his eyes, he will lose his calmness and mind. This man always has seven orifices in his heart, and each of them is connected to the nine levels of cold weather.
...
"Before this matter is over, there is no need to tell Xiaoyu for the time being, let her keep her energy and concentrate on dealing with the old things in Beijing." Qin Sheng paused and suddenly said.
Hongxiu was stunned, then nodded: "Yes."
The Lord doesn't want Xiaoyu to worry...
Hongxiu couldn't help but feel a little emotional in secret. The cold master who was not as good as the world's fireworks in her eyes actually had this day when she was worried about a woman.
She hesitated for a moment, but she couldn't help but whisper: "You don't need to tell Xiaoyu about this, but the master, don't you tell her the medicine you took...?"
Qin Sheng turned his face and glanced at her with a smile: "Hongxiu, when did you say so much? Let's go down."
The slender figure with light on her back, her delicate and eccentric face was hidden in the shadow. She couldn't see the expression clearly, and her tone was clear. Hongxiu felt that she was in the abyss of coldness. She couldn't help but shivered, and then she lowered her head, but she gritted her teeth and finished speaking: "The master... the subordinate just conveyed the instructions of my aunt. Some things should not be rushed."
Then, she respectfully clasped her fists: "Subordinate, take your leave."
Hongxiu retreated and left the cabin. After closing the door, she took a few more steps before breathing a sigh of relief. She couldn't help but wiped her cold sweat.
She couldn't help but mutter to herself—
The outsider does not know the horror of his master, but he is obsessed with the master because of his appearance. Xiaoyu clearly understands more than anyone else what kind of person is the master.
So how big a little fish has to be able to have a love affair with his own master and sleep in the same bed together?
Every time she thinks of this, she has no words to express her admiration for Xiaoyu.
Chu Yu came up with something. Seeing Hongxiu's dull look, he couldn't help but shake his fingers: "What's wrong with you?"
Hongxiu shook his mind and looked at Chu Yu. He couldn't help but pat her on the shoulder: "It's nothing, Xiaoyu...Madam...I'll leave first."
Looking at Hongxiu's back as he hurriedly left, Chu Yu looked confused and said, "Why do you feel scared?"
