Shen Wan: "No, thank you sir for your concern."
This voice was too familiar. Could it be that this girl was someone he knew? Yun Luochuan wanted to hear more of her voice and recognize who she was, so he asked, "Is the girl the new owner of the house next door?"
Shen Wan couldn't sleep either. The young man next door's voice was gentle and very comfortable to listen to. She didn't mind chatting with him for a while.
"Yes, I bought it two days ago and just moved in today!"
"The girl's accent doesn't sound like she's from Jiangzhou?" Yun Luochuan asked again.
Shen Wan replied truthfully: "I came from the Imperial City, and I plan to settle in Jiangzhou in the future."
Imperial City? Yun Luochuan thought to himself: Could it be that this girl is someone I know?
"I don't know..." Yun Luochuan was about to ask for his name when he heard a male voice from the other side of the wall: "Madam, what are you doing here?"
Zhong Dashi, the night watchman, held a lantern and looked at the lady standing under the corner and asked. What was the lady doing standing in the garden this late at night with her hair hanging down? When he first saw her, he thought she was a female ghost. ! After taking a closer look, I realized it was Madam. Not to mention that although this Madam had her hair down and was not dressed up, she looked like a beauty under the moon like hibiscus emerging from clear water. I heard from Miss Huier that this Madam was already thirty years old. , but looking at her appearance, you can't tell that she is thirty years old.
Shen Wan looked at Zhong Dashi and said, "I couldn't sleep at night, so I went for a walk in the garden. The fragrance of the wintersweet was so refreshing that I wanted to break a branch and put it in the room."
Can't sleep at night? Zhong Dashi's eyes flashed. I heard from Miss Hui'er that my wife's husband died after she gave birth to the young master. She didn't want to stay in that sad place in the imperial city, so she moved to Jiangzhou Chenglai. My wife became a widow at a young age, so she would naturally feel empty and lonely at night and unable to sleep.
Zhong Dashi said with a smile: "It's already late at night, and it's very cold. Madam, you'd better go back to the house and rest quickly! I'll send my wife back."
"Okay," Shen Wan nodded, broke another branch of wintersweet, and left with Zhong Dashi.
Yun Luochuan, who was standing on the other side, muttered in a low voice: "It turns out it's not for a girl, but for a married woman."
Is this someone he knows, or is he someone he knows with a similar voice? Yun Luochuan is a little concerned.
The night breeze was blowing, and Shen Wan tightened the collar of her cloak.
Zhong Dashi smelled a strong fragrance of wintersweet, and a light fragrance that was like orchid and plum. The fragrance seemed to be emanating from the lady's body, and it made him feel a little itchy.
After a while, Shen Wan walked to the entrance of the courtyard, turned around and smiled at Zhong Dashi and said: "I'm here, let's go! Wear more clothes when patrolling at night, don't catch a cold."
"Well," Zhong Dashi nodded, turned around, and his heart beat fast in his chest. As he walked, he was thinking: Madam smiled at me, and gently asked me to wear more clothes. , Don’t catch a cold. You are clearly caring about me! Why does Madam care about me so much?
Could it be? Zhong Dashi had a bold guess in his mind, but he was not sure and decided to observe it for a while.
Shen Wan returned to the room and put the wintersweet in the vase.
The boy on the bed slept so soundly. He was pouting, wondering if he was eating delicious food in his dream!
Shen Wan took off her cloak, lifted up the quilt and got into bed, kissed her son's forehead, blew on the candle burning on the candlestick, and lay down covered with the quilt.
