As soon as these words came out, everyone in Jinyiwei, except the shopkeeper, looked at Jiang Wu.
Jiang Wu froze for a moment, but Fu Heng chuckled, turned around and walked towards the second floor.
The shopkeeper asked: "I wonder if the dinner should be delivered to the room by the servant or if it should be eaten outside?"
Jiang Wu pressed her chest against her back with hunger, and said hurriedly: "Just bring it to the room, as soon as possible, don't worry about the money." After saying that, she followed Fu Heng upstairs, and when she got upstairs, she saw Fu Heng.
Heng stopped at the door of the upper room in the middle. She stood at the stairs timidly, not daring to go up.
Fu Heng said: "Why don't you come up? Are you afraid?"
Alarm bells rang loudly in Jiang Wu's mind. It couldn't be called scared, but it was embarrassing. She didn't care. She had never slept anywhere before when she was working overtime on cases.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Fu Heng pointed to the room next to her, "Go over there."
Jiang Wu's eyes lit up at first, but then he was a little confused: "If Master doesn't share a room with me tonight, then who should I share a room with, Master Zhou?"
It happened that Zhou Xianen also came upstairs at this time, and the three of them were stuck at the top of the stairs. The scene was very awkward for a moment.
Fu Heng's face turned dark.
Jiang Wu shrank her neck and said weakly: "I see that your expression doesn't look very happy... I'm going to go to that room right now... Hey, hey, hey?" Halfway through her words, Fu Hengti slipped away.
The collar was thrown directly into the room, and then Fu Heng also entered the door, leaving Zhou Xianen standing at the top of the stairs, looking a little lonely.
As soon as Jiang Wu entered the door, he struggled like a kitten with its hair exploding, "Why do you have to worry about this with me, sir!"
Fu Heng sneered and walked closer to the house. It was really okay for two people to sleep in this room. Although it was not divided into inner and outer rooms, the furnishings were barely exquisite. The bed in the middle was very large, and there was a large bed next to it.
Recliner.
Jiang Wu thought to himself that I'm just a bitch, and if I don't sleep on a nice bed, I have to squeeze into a room with Fu Heng to sleep on a chair.
It didn't take long for the food to be served. It consisted of three simple dishes and one soup. The taste was bland and could not match the deliciousness.
Jiang Wu invited Fu Heng to come for dinner, but he didn't eat. He just sat on the bed and didn't know what he was thinking.
Jiang Wu had been hungry for several days, and her face and plate were so small that she ate all the food immediately.
After a while, the waiter came over to collect the bowls and chopsticks. The door happened to be open, and a man and a woman came down from the stairs. No one could be seen, but the voice sounded about thirty. The woman said: "I heard that there is a place in Huaizhou."
We are strictly checking the people entering the city. If we can't get in without a pass, wouldn't our trip be in vain?"
Then came the man's voice, who advised: "Who would have expected this? Just as this happened, this year's pilgrimage may be suspended."
Then the woman complained a few more words, but her voice gradually became quieter and she couldn't hear clearly what they said.
Jiang Wu heard what they said about worshiping holy water. So she asked the boy: "Does the little brother know about worshiping holy water in Huaizhou?"
The young man was stunned when he heard this: "Aren't you here to worship?"
Jiang Wu shook his head and said that they were just passing by here, but if there was holy water to worship, it wouldn't hurt to go and have a look.
The boy sighed and said: "Then you have come at the wrong time. I heard that every year in the twelfth lunar month, there is a well in Huaizhou City with very good water. After drinking the water from the well, if you are a scholar, you can get three yuan.
If you get the chance, if you are a girl in a boudoir, you can marry into a wealthy family and become a successful person."
Jiang Wu felt it was a bit outrageous, but it didn't show on his face. Instead, he looked very interested, "Is it really that smart?"
Unexpectedly, the boy curled his lips: "We have people who come to worship the holy water here every year. In the first few years, we could still drink the holy water. Later, the government came forward to protect the holy water. Drinking is not allowed, only worship, even
We also built a temple called Shengshui Temple, and every year we make a lot of money just from the sesame oil. But I don’t know if it’s of any use.”
Jiang Wu smiled and said, "Has this little brother also gone to worship?"
The boy was clearing away the dishes, when he happened to look up and saw Jiang Wu. The girl in front of him had snow-skinned black hair, dark eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes. She had a green hair stick sticking out of her temples. She was a beautiful sight even if she didn't speak.
The young man has lived in Bitter Apricot Town for a long time and has never seen such a beautiful girl. When he saw Jiang Wu smiling and with crooked eyes, he was fascinated by it without even realizing it——
Until the young man in black coughed slightly and regained his consciousness.
This time the boy didn't dare to look at Jiang Wu anymore, and hurriedly lowered his head and said: "I've been there, it's useless." Then he took the dishes and left.
Jiang Wu curled his lips and said, "Don't you want to get more clues, sir?"
Fu Heng leaned on the bedpost, closed his eyes and thought quietly, and said lazily: "So Jiang Wuzuo used a beauty trap?"
Jiang Wu's face turned red, but he still said firmly: "Then your lord will admit that I am a beauty."
Unexpectedly, Fu Heng paused and said, "I have never denied it."
The night fell at this time. Jiang Wu opened the window and saw the remaining snow in the atrium of the inn's backyard. Several dead old trees were swaying in the wind. Jiang Wu sat by the window with his chin in his hands. The night breeze was a bit cold, blowing on the window.
There was also a chill on her face.
Fu Heng said at this time: "The woman just now was pregnant."
Jiang Wu was shocked: "What do you mean, Sir, the purpose of her trip should be to bless the safe birth of the child in her belly? This is not surprising, but I don't believe in the holy water. It is probably made up by some charlatan."
Fu Heng had walked behind her at some point. Jiang Wu didn't notice it and was still saying to himself: "Sir, think about it, this well water is also groundwater. Since it is groundwater, it actually comes from the same place as those lakes and rivers.
If the well water is holy water, then the entire city of Huaizhou will become a city where only immortals can live."
When Jiang Wu didn't get a response, she turned around and suddenly saw Fu Heng just a palm away from her. She was startled, "Sir, what are you doing?"
Fu Heng glanced at her and did not respond. Instead, he moved forward and even supported the edge of the table with one hand. In an instant, Jiang Wu was enveloped by his aura. She was speechless for a moment, her eyebrows were lowered, and she didn't know where to turn her eyes.
Where did you look?
"Da——" There was a soft sound, and Jiang Wu looked back and saw that the window had been closed.
So you made such a big fuss just to close the window? Is it necessary?
She was speechless, Fu Heng lazily walked towards the bed, not hearing Jiang Wu's footsteps, and frowned impatiently.
Jiang Wu touched his nose and asked in a low voice: "Sir, should I sleep on the recliner?"
Unexpectedly, Fu Heng sat on the bed and patted the quilt, and his tone was still cold: "Sleep on the bed."
