Lin Jingmo lazily opened his eyes, stretched out his arms, and suddenly remembered that he slept with Shang Shixu last night. He carefully looked sideways and found that Shang Shixu had disappeared.
She breathed a sigh of relief, sat up, and shouted toward the door: "Mother Li!"
Hearing the sound, Mother Li opened a crack in the door and carefully poked her head in. Seeing that Shang Shixuan was not there, she walked in generously and said with a smile: "Second girl was tired last night. It's so late today that I got up." "Yes." Lin Jingmo twisted his neck. After all, he had been tensed up because of nervousness last night. How could he not be tired?
Lin Jingmo turned around and looked at Mother Li again: "Mom, with the evil smile on your face, did you pick up something good?"
Mother Li gave Lin Jingmo a cup of tea and said, "Good times are coming! Tomorrow will be our Queen Qianqiu."
Lin Jingmo gargled his mouth, washed his face with the water brought to him, and said, "It turns out it's the eldest sister's birthday."
I heard from Mother Li that when she was in a coma, the eldest sister was so anxious that she almost ran out of the palace with a big belly.
Lin Jingmo thought for a while: "Then I must give you a big gift."
After that, I got dressed and returned to the main courtyard where I lived.
Lin Jingmo opened his dowry to see what he could give to the queen, but found a beautiful gold box inlaid with red, blue, and emeralds, which was very delicate.
Curious, she opened it and saw that it was empty.
Lin Jingmo looked at the box and said to himself: "With this size, a hairpin should have been placed before, right? How can a hairpin be packed in such a luxurious treasure box?"
"Did Madam remember something?"
There was a sudden sound behind him. Lin Jingmo was not alert and threw the box on the ground.
She looked back and saw that it was Shang Shixu, so she smiled brightly at him.
"Husband..." Lin Jingmo looked at Shang Shixu who was staring at him closely: "Didn't my husband go to court? Why are you here?"
Shang Shixu looked at the box on the ground. It was the box that contained the golden phoenix hairpin that almost stabbed Lin Jingmo to death.
He stared at the treasure box and said: "There is nothing to do in the office today. My wife is in better health, so I will come back early to take care of her."
He picked up the treasure box for Lin Jingmo and asked, "What is Madam looking for?"
Lin Jingmo took the box and gently dusted it off: "Tomorrow is my eldest sister's birthday. Although I can't remember what happened before, when I woke up, eldest sister sent me many supplements and sent someone to
She has looked at me many times, so she should give her some good things."
After that, he opened the drawer again: "But here are all heavy and tacky gold ornaments and jewelry."
Shang Shixu smiled faintly when he heard this: "How can you give someone else a gold jewelry that you have worn as a gift? Her Royal Highness the Queen is so noble, what kind of hairpin ring do you want?"
Lin Jingmo had an idea: "You're right, eldest sister, she is a queen, and most of the jewelry she wears are palace-made. If we find some styles for her that are not common in the palace, it will be fresh and interesting."
After saying that, we started to discuss the timing and left.
Shang Shixu instinctively threw away his hand, and Lin Jingmo looked at him with some confusion.
Shang Shixu waved his hands uncomfortably and said, "Where are you going, madam?"
"Of course I'm going outside to see if there are any new and fashionable jewelry and clothes to buy for my eldest sister. Okay, husband, let's go together with my concubine." After that, he took Shang Shixu's hand and walked outside.
Shang Shixu looked back at the house they walked out of, with the scene of that day vividly in his mind. Looking back, he followed Lin Jingmo out and made a plan in his mind: There are many eyes and ears in the mansion, so it's hard to take action. You won't know for sure after leaving the mansion.
If there is a chance, I can kill Lin Jingmo...
The two came to Linglong Pavilion, the largest jewelry and rouge shop in Beijing.
When the boss saw Lin Jingmo, he came up to him with a smile on his face: "Oh, Mrs. Shang, I haven't seen you for a long time. Mrs. Shang is still beautiful."
Lin Jingmo turned to look at his boss, his eyebrows curved, and he smiled brightly.
The boss was stunned. He had never seen Lin Jingmo with a sober face. Normally, Lin Jingmo dressed up in a flamboyant and flamboyant way. But today, when he saw her, she didn't have any makeup on, and she actually had a childish look on her face. She looked like a pure girl. p>
Lin Jingmo looked at the stunned boss, raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Boss, do you know me?"
The boss came to his senses and quickly replied: "That's natural. Mrs. Shang is a frequent visitor to our Linglong Pavilion."
After saying that, he picked up a box of rouge from the side and opened it: "Maybe Mrs. Shang has used up her powder? This is the new rouge. Take a look."
Lin Jingmo came closer and smelled it, sneezed violently, rubbed his nose and said: "It smells so strong, no, no, no, no, no, no, I don't want this. Boss, what do I buy from you on weekdays?"
?"
The boss smiled with a smile on his face, nodded, and went to the drawer to take out the brocade box: "I know Mrs. Shang's preferences. Although I haven't seen her for a long time, I still leave it for her!"
After that, he opened the brocade box.
Lin Jingmo looked at the brocade box curiously, then frowned in disappointment: "These...are all my favorites?"
The boss replied: "Don't Mrs. Shang ask for the most expensive, the best and the biggest every time she comes?" Then he took a step closer with the brocade box in hand: "The biggest gems in the store, the most expensive materials, and the best craftsmanship.
, it’s all here.”
Lin Jingmo shook his head and picked up a pair of pure gold hairpins.
The boss said: "A pair of gold-inlaid plum blossom hairpins with a hollow five-petal plum blossom as the base and a ruby inlaid in the middle of the petals. The gold and red colors match each other. Although the style is simple, it is luxurious and rich."
Lin Jingmo pouted: "This is too ostentatious, and it's so inconvenient to carry around."
She put down the gold hairpin and picked up a pair of gold bracelets.
The boss then introduced: "A pair of gold-inlaid bracelets, composed of two semicircular gold pieces. One end is connected in a loose-leaf manner, and the other end is connected with a latch, which can be opened and closed freely. The outer wall of the bracelet is engraved with twisted wires.
pattern, with eight red and sapphires inlaid on the wall."
Lin Jingmo opened his mouth and looked at him in surprise: "Wearing such a pair of gold bracelets is too heavy...don't, don't, don't."
Shang Shixu looked at Lin Jingmo: Lin Jingmo usually lived a luxurious life, liked to wear gold and silver, and talked about money. Now that he has lost his memory, his preferences have changed.
Suddenly, Lin Jingmo saw a unique jade hairpin, made of white and greasy jade, with a delicately carved flying phoenix. She casually recited: "Liu glaze is like leaves and jade is like flowers, and its wonderful quality is naturally flawless."
Shang Shixu was shocked: Can she still read poetry?
Lin Jingmo handed the hairpin to the boss and said: "The jade quality is exquisite, the carving is exquisite, it is elegant and noble, this is it. Help me find a wooden box made of green sandalwood to wrap it up."
The two of them came out of Linglong Pavilion, and Shang Shixu secretly turned to Lin Jingmo from time to time: It's a mixed bag of fish and dragons here, so it's hard to start. How can we coax her to go to a secluded trail?
Lin Jingmo felt the eyes of the other party following him, and turned away shyly: The street is so lively, and in front of so many people, just staring like this, how much you admire me! Even outside
I don’t know how to restrain myself!
Just as Lin Jingmo was thinking about it, she suddenly almost bumped into the person coming from the other side and hugged her. Fortunately, Shang Shixu reached out and hugged her in time: "Madam, be careful."
The two looked at each other, and Lin Jingmo's heart was pounding.
She quickly reached out and pushed Shang Shixu away, straightened her broken hair, and said with a blushing face: "Thank you...husband."
Shang Shixu looked at her and wondered: Where did she sing? Why is her face so red? Could it be that Lin Jingmo is attracted to me?
After saying that, Shang Shixu stepped forward, put his arms around Lin Jingmo's waist, leaned against her ear and whispered in a flirtatious voice, "Is Madam okay?"
Suddenly approaching Shang Shixu forcefully, Lin Jingmo couldn't help but widen her eyes and open her lips slightly. Shang Shixu spoke in a very low voice, and his warm breath blew on her neck. She reached out and pushed him gently, but
She said shyly: "It's so itchy."
"What did Madam say?" Shang Shixu straightened up and looked at Lin Jingmo with raised eyebrows. He never expected that Lin Jingmo, who used to be arrogant and domineering, would still be shy.
Lin Jingmo stood on tiptoe slightly but only reached his chest. At this distance, he could neither advance nor retreat.
When Shang Shixu saw this, he held Lin Jingmo in his arms with force, and placed his chin on the top of her head. Lin Jingmo's brain was instantly drained, and his heartbeat could not help but skip a beat.
I don't know how much time passed, but Shang Shixu said with a wicked smile: "Madam, your heart is beating so fast!"
Lin Jingmo quickly pushed him away. His face felt hot. He turned his head to one side and covered half of his face with his hands: "I'm going to go shopping elsewhere. My husband, please go back to your house first." After that, he walked away.
Escape.
Shang Shixu smiled from behind and shook his head: "Madam, please slow down and be careful where you step."
After saying that, his smile gradually disappeared, and he looked coldly at Lin Jingmo's fleeing back: It seems that you still deserve to die today.
It was night, and Lin Jingmo was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She looked at the empty space beside her, and couldn't help but recall what happened on the street during the day. Shang Shixu's shoulders were broad and strong, and her heart pounded when she thought of being in his arms.
Lin Jingmo shyly got into the bed and covered his head. After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at the door.
After waiting for a while, Shang Shixu didn't come back, and she came out again: Why hasn't Shang Shixu finished his work? He will come in later, what should I say?
At this moment, Shang Shixu was rummaging around in Lin Jingmo's room in the main courtyard. He deliberately waited until the guards from the Lin Mansion went to the side courtyard to protect Lin Jingmo and ran to look for the account books.
In his opinion, if the account books could be found, there would be no evidence even if Lin Jingmo regained his memory. Unfortunately, he couldn't even find the account books after repeated searches.
Shang Shixu stroked his forehead, feeling very distressed: Where exactly would this woman put her account books? It seemed that only she knew.
So he had no choice but to return to the east courtyard empty-handed. When he saw the lights on in the room, he knew that Lin Jingmo was still waiting for him.
Thinking back to the last time Lin Jingmo waited for him, it was the day when the two of them got married. Lin Jingmo was born in Shangshu Mansion and was pampered since she was a child. People always thought that she would marry either a relative of the emperor or a prince or a nobleman. Unexpectedly, Lin Jingmo just chose
I chose him, a poor student who had just passed the top three in the exam.
On the wedding night, she didn't give Shang Shixu any face. She made him stand in the snow for two hours without entering the wedding room. In the end, Shang Shixu walked away and never went to Lin Jingmo's room again.
Leaving her with an empty main courtyard.
Recalling Lin Jingmo’s past appearance, he was domineering, vicious, arrogant and mean.
Even her cousin Zi Lan is still missing because of her, which makes Shang Shixu feel disgusted.
He pushed open the door fiercely, and Lin Jingmo immediately closed his eyes when he heard the sound of the door opening.
Shang Shixu stared fiercely at Lin Jingmo, who was pretending to sleep: Keeping her would be a disaster after all, if he strangles her to death while she is sleeping...
Lin Jingmo closed his eyes, feeling like hundreds of cat claws scratching his heart: He is staring at me like this again, is my face so pretty?
Shang Shixu looked at Lin Jingmo, who had his eyes tightly closed but gradually opened his smile: Is she pretending to sleep? If he can't kill her, he will scare the snake away...
So he went to the table and blew out the candles.
After waiting for a long time, Lin Jingmo slowly squinted his eyes and took a peek, only to find that Shang Shixu was not lying next to him.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, she sat up and found that Shang Shixu was sleeping on a soft mat on the ground with a quilt.
"Madam, please rest. You tossed and turned last night and couldn't sleep. Maybe you are recovering from a serious illness and are not used to sleeping in the same bed with others." Shang Shixu said and closed his eyes coldly.
