There were patches of black ash in the unused brazier in the inn room. Xia Shang did not think much about where the eighty missing manuscripts were. A flame passed through the brazier, and the ending of "Dream of Red Mansions" was forever a mystery.
It was raining heavily outside, with drops of rain and dew gathering. The water columns under the eaves were shining with the last ray of sunshine. The wind brought coolness, and also brought the raindrops, which wetted the bed platform and the corner of the wooden bed under the window.
.
Xia Shang went to close the window and suddenly saw the corner of the yellow shirt hanging in the window, which was exactly what Chunjiao was wearing. Xia Shang knew that she had left through the window.
"Where did he go?" Xia Shang muttered.
Standing at the window and looking in the distance, I also noticed the rows of flower buildings on the other side. Despite the heavy rain, there was still an endless stream of customers going to the flower buildings.
Xia Shang became interested when he saw it and said with a bad look on his face: "I don't think there is such a beautiful scenery here. I have been idle for the past three days. Why don't you go and have a drink?"
This small murmur to himself fell into the ears of the person behind him, and a cold female voice came from behind: "As expected!"
Xia Shang was startled, and when he looked back, he realized that it was Chunjiao who had returned.
Chunjiao came back, her appearance was miserable, her body was still wet from the rain and dew, her face was shiny and black, and she stood with a frown on her face. Water flowed into the column from her hair to her cheeks, and finally dripped on the floor of the room. She was wet as soon as she came back. Although she was practicing martial arts.
People are also fleshy. After being soaked by the sudden rain, Chunjiao's pretty face became pale and her lips turned blue, but her spirit remained unchanged and she could not see much illness.
Seeing that her eyes were not kind, Xia Shang was a little confused and asked, "What's true?"
"There are so many inns in Yangzhou, so why did you choose this one? Isn't it because it's close to the Flower House opposite?"
I don’t know where this girl got her anger and spoke so irritably?
Xia Shang shocked her: "It's inexplicable."
After saying that, he opened the door and left the room.
"You..." Chunjiao opened her mouth, but all she heard in response was a dull sound of the door closing.
"Bang..."
The door was closed and people left, Chunjiao felt very angry!
Chunjiao went all the way to find Xia Shang. She searched all the flower houses across the street but couldn't find it. Then she went to Jiangnanchun and told her mother about Xia Shang's divination.
Chunjiao was very interested in Xia Shang's ability and wanted to know whether Xia Shang's calculations were accurate, so she asked her mother to send someone to Xia's mansion tonight to see if someone was really coming.
Although the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal in Jiangnan Chunye is not far away, the inn where I stayed is located on both sides of the river. It took a lot of time to go back and forth. When I came back, it rained heavily, and Chunjiao was drenched in less than a quarter of an hour.
Transparent.
It doesn’t matter if you get caught in the rain, what matters is that Xia Shangzhen said it right!
One second it was sunny, and the next second it was pouring rain. Who would expect that?
Chunjiao didn't find Xia Shang and was in a bad mood. When she came back, she heard Xia Shang saying that she wanted to go to the flower house opposite. She felt sad and her face turned cold.
In Chunjiao's heart, she only has some appreciation for Xia Shang. A person who doesn't know martial arts can control the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Isn't such a person more awesome than those with peerless martial arts? But such a powerful person thinks about shopping all day long.
Lou, that is absolutely unacceptable to Chunjiao.
As his thoughts wandered, another voice came from beside him: "Why are you still standing there stupidly? Take off your clothes!"
Take off your clothes!
Chunjiao was startled and instinctively wanted to get angry. When she looked back, she found that Xia Shang was standing in front of her with two buckets of water for the boss. The buckets were still steaming, and his plain appearance gave people a sense of closeness.
"Um?"
Chunjiao didn't react.
At this time, two more people came in behind Xia Shang, they were store clerks.
Two boys were carrying a big bathtub and were squeezing into the house, shouting: "My lord, please make way."
Chunjiao came back to her senses when she saw the bathtub entering the room. She looked at Xia Shang in surprise and was moved for a moment. Then she saw that in this small room, after putting a bathtub, there was no extra space.
, and couldn’t help but get annoyed.
"How do you wash in such a small place? Doesn't the inn have a bathhouse?"
"You're not the only one who got wet today. Everyone in the bathhouse is waiting. If you want to wait, your body won't be able to wait. Don't talk nonsense. I'll leave the water for you here. I'll sit downstairs and call me when you're done."
With that said, Xia Shang was about to go out again.
Chunjiao blurted out without thinking: "Don't leave."
Xia Shang stopped and turned around with a wicked smile.
When Chunjiao saw it, she felt confused and hurriedly explained: "There are many people here, and I'm afraid someone might peek. Can you guard me outside?"
Seeing that the two boys had left, Xia Shang said calmly: "Are you the bodyguard or am I the bodyguard?"
"I……"
Xia Shang waved his hand: "Okay, okay, you wash up first. I'll be at the door. If you need anything, call me."
After that, he went out and closed the door.
After a while, the room gradually filled with smoke, and occasionally a woman's comfortable breathing could be heard amidst the gurgling water. The noise in the building seemed to have become quieter, and Xia Shang's world was unconsciously filled with only reveries about the room.
Chunjiao is a beauty, and any man will be moved by the sight of her. She has the scent of many women, like the charm of a fairy who wandered into a brothel, the chivalrous spirit of Shangguanchan who was born in the world, and an energy that is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
She wanted to hide it, but the longer she couldn't hide it, her innermost feelings had already been exposed to Xia Shang's eyes.
Such a person is taking a shower behind him. With just a push of an unlocked door, all the scenery can be seen before his eyes. How can a man hold back?
No matter what Xia Shang thinks? At least Chunjiao thinks so.
In the smoke, the jade breasts and ice skin are looming, and they are so tender that they are even more tender than the auspicious clouds in the sky. It can be blown by the breeze and soaked by the dew. People feel pity and dare not play with it. Even fairies can't compare to such a skin.
Any woman would be jealous if she saw him.
This is Chunjiao's secret. She herself doesn't know how to have a good skin. On weekdays, it is not obvious under the cover of clothes, and it is only in the bath that she looks stunning.
It's a pity that no man can appreciate such beautiful scenery. I don't know if the man just a few feet away will break in, let alone what he will do when he sees this body of flesh and blood.
Chunjiao was very confused. She looked at the motionless black figure behind the paper window at the door. She didn't know whether it was facing away from him or facing him? Or was he peeking?
Chunjiao couldn't tell whether she wanted him to come in or not, and she even wanted to know what the man was doing outside.
Thinking about it, he quietly got up, got out of the bathtub, wiped his body gently and changed into clothes, for fear of making some noise.
Then he walked carefully to the door and opened the door gently.
Chunjiao's careful actions did not alarm Xia Shang. The figure outside the house did not move at all. When she saw his back, Chunjiao didn't know how she felt.
There is appreciation, disappointment, blame, and shyness...
It turned out that the man who had been thinking wildly for a long time didn't take him to heart at all. He just stood at the door and looked downstairs for so long?
No wonder, all his wives are so beautiful, I am just a pawn in his hands.
A wry smile appeared on Chunjiao's face, and she stepped forward and patted Xia Shang's shoulder gently: "I've washed it." (To be continued)
