[R18] Dali Temple.Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1) – “Dali Temple. Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1)” Chapter 35 Hongzhou [English]

Lin Wanqing put on her embroidered shoes and walked over softly.

Su Moyi quietly moved inside, leaving a little space for her outside.

The jade hook on the bed shook and made a slight sound, and Lin Wanqing lay next to Su Moyi.

The doors and windows of the room were closed, and the bed curtains were put down. Lin Wanqing knew that Su Moyi didn’t like light when sleeping, so she didn’t leave a night light.

The inn is older, and the floor is made of wood. It makes a creaking sound when someone walks by, knocking out any sleepiness that should be there.

The man next to him was breathing steadily, as lightly as if he hadn’t breathed at all.

But Lin Wanqing knew that he didn’t sleep.

I don’t know where she got the courage. She opened her mouth, wiped out a sound she almost couldn’t hear from her throat, and called “Sir.”

No one should she.

Lin Wanqing waited for a long time, raised her voice by two points, and said “Sir” again, like the squeak of the wooden boards outside the door that was suddenly remembered, making people feel frightened.

The people around him sighed and scolded softly: “If you don’t want to sleep, go out and guard the door.”

Lin Wanqing curled her lips. Fortunately, she had already gotten used to this man’s bad temper, so she didn’t feel annoyed at the moment. She just opened her eyes wide, looked at the empty night and said, “Don’t you, sir, want to know why I care so much about Song Zhengxing’s case?”

No one answered she, and the question became a self-answer.

Lin Wanqing tightened and loosened her hands under the brocade quilt, and said slowly: “Because he killed my family.”

She trembled when she heard her voice pretending to be calm.

“Has your family member passed away?” Su Moyi asked.

“Yeah,” Lin Wanqing nodded.

Su Moyi didn’t ask any more questions.

The atmosphere fell silent, and the night was like ink, causing water waves to float and draw people into the whirlpool.

The darkness seemed to give her courage, and Lin Wanqing started talking.She turned slightly to face Su Moyi, suddenly started talking again, and asked cautiously: “My lord, are you not afraid of the dark?”

Su Moyi seemed to murmur softly, and then slowly said after a moment: “I was very scared when I was a child, and I always had to leave a light on. So my mother-in-law would wait until I fell asleep before turning off the light and leaving.”

“Oh…” Lin Wanqing said enviously, “That’s pretty good.”

“But later, I learned to turn off the lights myself.”

The calm tone was as calm as everything Su Moyi said in the past, but Lin Wanqing could hear the bitterness.

The person next to me paused for a moment before continuing: “I’m not afraid of the dark now.”

Vaguely, Lin Wanqing felt as if she had touched Su Moyi’s injury. She was a little embarrassed for a moment, and hurriedly followed: “I was also afraid of the dark when I was a child, because I always felt that when a person falls asleep, the soul will run around, and if there is no light, he will not be able to find his way back.”

“So when I sleep, my mother will hold my hand. She said that in this way, I can find my way home. Haha…”

Two awkward laughs broke out in the dark night, as if someone was mocking his own stupidity.

“Are you not afraid now?” he asked, his voice still serious.

Lin Wanqing thought for a while, shook his head and said, “I’m not afraid anymore. Since my family has left, I feel that it doesn’t make any difference whether I can return to this world or not. Every time I fall asleep, I hope that my soul can float to where they are.”

“But not once did I find them.”

She sniffed, stretched out her hand to wipe the slightly moist corners of her eyes, and said with an embarrassed smile: “Later I learned that the soul will not run away when a person is asleep.”

The words were scattered and disappeared in the wind, leaving no trace behind.

For a long time, no one answered her, and Lin Wanqing thought Su Moyi was asleep.

She gently turned over and lay down, silently pressing her wet tear ducts with her hands, staring at the top of the bed where she couldn’t see anything with her eyes wide open.

A warm hand came over.

It was a smooth and dry hand, big enough to wrap her fist in the palm of her hand.

The dense temperature spread into a stream of heat, making her eyes and nose sore.

It was still the same plain, inhuman voice, stiff and without fluctuations, and it didn’t seem to be comforting at all.

In the darkness, Su Moyi took her hand and said:

“Go to sleep, I will bring you back.”

*
The carriage rumbled through the crowded long street, and the bright sun shone brightly, casting a mottled carriage from between the curtains of the carriage.

Lin Wanqing put down the small bronze mirror in her hand, looked at Mr. Su with a melancholy look, who was closing his eyes to rest, and sighed quietly.

“Sir…” she asked, “Is Lord Zhou of the armory blind?”

“What?” Su Moyi was surprised by this question and woke up suddenly.

Lin Wanqing shook the bronze mirror in his hand, frowned and said, “If he were not blind, how could a woman with this appearance become his concubine?”

“…” Su Moyi looked at Lin Wanqing’s colorful and vulgar makeup and was speechless.

These rouge, gouache, lipstick and eyebrow makeup were all prepared by Su Moyi for her.

At first, Lin Wanqing felt that Mr. Su was delicate and considerate.But after he painted her eyebrows and put on makeup, Lin Wanqing really wanted to throw all these things into the gutter.

He has very little contact with women, and he doesn’t understand amorous feelings and is not gentle.Therefore, he’s aesthetic taste in women’s makeup is really hard to describe.

The lipstick is a greasy and tacky hot pink, the eyebrow makeup is the darkest charcoal color, and the rouge is the reddest. No matter how light it is, Lin Wanqing’s cheeks look like red monkey butts.

“Should I wipe it off?” Lin Wanqing asked carefully, fearing to displease Mr. Su who had been working in vain for a while.

“But…” Su Moyi hesitated, “Wouldn’t it look too plain without makeup?”

“How could it be!” Lin Wanqing quickly added fuel to the fire and patted her chest to assure her, “Being a beloved concubine is about the soul, not the makeup. Really, I have grasped the essence.”

Su Moyi was still hesitant, so Lin Wanqing simply moved closer, blinking her watery eyes and looking at him pitifully.

Seeing that he felt guilty, Mr. Su finally gave in and asked Ye Qing to fetch a basin of water.

Lin Wanqing leaned on one side and concentrated on washing her face. She didn’t notice that Su Moyi was leaning on the other side, and her peripheral vision fell on her.

It turns out that not stained with lead or powder, can really be used to describe beauty.

He closed his eyes in vain, pretending to be asleep, but his heart had already fallen into the basin of clear water in front of her, causing ripples.

The carriage swayed through the streets and alleys, and finally stopped outside a tall mansion.

“We’re here,” Su Moyi patted Lin Wanqing, who had fallen asleep, and said warmly, “Be careful and don’t make any mistakes.”

After saying that, he lifted his robe and got out of the car.

There was silence outside, and then there was a burst of laughter and greetings.

Lin Wanqing patted her face to wake herself up, raised a corner of the car curtain, and looked outside.

Behind the Baogu Stone is a gate with red lacquer and wide beams.

In front of the gate, there was a crowd of people standing.The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a dark green official uniform. He had a sharp jaw line and sharp eyebrows, and he naturally had a chilling air.

This should be the person Su Moyi wants to meet on this trip, Mr. Zhang Sima Zhang, who is in charge of the Hongzhou official mine.

Lin Wanqing quickly lowered the curtain.

Outside the carriage, someone asked with a hint of ridicule, “I heard that your Excellency is here this time with Xina’s beloved concubine, but why didn’t you see anyone?”

Su Moyi coughed lightly, with a somewhat frivolous smile.

“Sir~”

A delicate call suddenly came from behind the crowd, crisp and graceful, like an oriole in March, so tender that it could pinch water.

All the men present were, without exception, numb to the bone by this tender cry.

The sounds around him suddenly became weaker, and everyone stretched their necks to look behind Su Moyi.

A white and slender hand poked out from the curtain of the carriage.

The wrists are as bright as snow, the skin is translucent, and the fingertips have a touch of pink, like blooming mountain peaches, charming but not vulgar.

Next, there is a crimson pomegranate skirt with a thin texture.As soon as I stepped out of the carriage, I was blown away by a just-right gust of wind, and the little golden bells pendant on my skirt jingled, which was heart-warming.

Point your toes lightly, and the gold-embroidered satin shoes under the skirt decorate your small lotus feet just right.

In the silence, Su Moyi chuckled, turned around and took the beauty’s hand.

Lin Wanqing buried her head low, and her rouge-colored shawl slipped from her thin shoulders, outlining her natural charm.

The curtain hat covers her bright eyes and white teeth, and her beautiful eyes are looking forward.But the pair of twisted golden carnelian earrings kept shaking, silently disrupting the breathing of everyone present.

She relied on Su Moyi’s strength to lean into He’s arms, and as she wished, she heard the sounds of gasping.

Lin Wanqing felt a little proud of this opening and raised her head to look for Su Moyi’s eyes.

He is also lowering his eyes to look at her, with a smile on his face and eyes, and there is a romantic desire that cannot be hidden in it.

Lin Wanqing was frightened and secretly thought that this dog officer had changed into a playboy. At first glance, he seemed to be pretty good…

Weirdly provocative.

I don’t know if Su Moyi noticed her absent-mindedness, but Lin Wanqing felt someone pinched her waist gently, causing her to let out an unconscious squeak.

The men present looked at Su Moyi not only politely, but now with a bit of envy.

Fortunately, there was a well-informed Zhang Sima who stabilized the situation.

He looked at the two people in front of him and said with a smile: “No wonder Mr. Zhou came two days later than the originally arranged time. I said he was tired from the journey. Now it seems that he was not tired at night, so he delayed his journey during the day, right?”

Su Moyi smiled but didn’t answer, as if you knew and I knew, and there was no need to elaborate.

Zhang Sima laughed and led the two of them to the mansion.

During this trip to Hongzhou, Zhang Sima specially arranged for the two of them to stay in Zhang Mansion.

In name, it is to fulfill the friendship of the landlord and provide good hospitality.But Su Moyi knew that the officialdom in Hongzhou was dangerous, and just a handwritten letter from Song Zhengxing was far from enough to dispel the doubts of this group of people.

Zhang Ren did this because he wanted to keep people by his side for testing purposes.

Several people walked along the veranda, waterside pavilion, flowers and trees of the courtyard, and came to a backyard with sparse crabapples and high walls.

Lin Wanqing faintly heard the gurgling water and was about to ask when she heard Zhang Ren say with a smile: “In addition to its diverse mineral resources, Hongzhou is also rich in geothermal energy. Therefore, among the wealthy families, almost every family will have a live spring hot spring pool in the upper room in the backyard.”

While they were talking, the maids had already led the two of them into the side room.

Lin Wanqing saw white gas rising in a small open-air garden behind the room.The flowers, rocks and green trees are reflected in it, just like a fairyland.

She, a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped. Fortunately, the curtain hat blocked him.

Su Moyi remained calm as usual and just nodded in thanks.

“Then Zhang won’t bother Brother Zhou anymore,” Zhang Ren’s eyes swept over Su Moyi and finally fell on Lin Wanqing, making her feel a little unnatural.

“Brother Zhou has been working hard on the road, and this hot spring is the best for washing and relaxing,” he said, casually naming a few maids waiting aside and saying: “These are the maids arranged by Zhang for Brother Zhou. Why don’t we let her take care of Brother Zhou to bathe and change clothes first, so that he can have a good rest.”

Su Moyi laughed softly, her voice half lustful and half unruly.

He’s eyes lingered on those women with beautiful faces and attractive figures for a moment, and finally his eyes fell on the proud snow peak of one of the girls, with a charming smile.

The next moment, Lin Wanqing felt Su Moyi’s fingertips holding her waist suddenly tightened, causing her to groan immediately.

The sudden cry was a breathy sound coming out of the throat and nose.

There is a bit of dissatisfaction in the coquettishness, and the grievance is just right.

Zhang Ren was startled and turned to look at her.

Lin Wanqing turned to look at Su Moyi, only to see he was also looking at her with a cold face.

His eyes were full of displeasure as he lost his interest.

Oh…

She’s main mission on this trip is to help Mr. Su block his love.

It’s all because the hot springs and private rooms here are so luxurious that she was so shocked that she forgot all about the business.

A hint of sorrow and resentment suddenly spread between Lin Wanqing’s brows, and the red hand held by the man poked Su Moyi’s heart with one finger.

The young lady pouted and said delicately: “My lord, I have always been with Qingqing when I take baths. Why do you have to change someone else now?”

When Su Moyi heard this, there was obvious displeasure on his face, and he was about to scold him with a cold face. Lin Wanqing followed suit, and the mood of making noise and crying was already in place.

Zhang Ren on the side was quite embarrassed when he saw this.

He only knew that Mr. Zhou was a womanizer, but he never thought that the concubine he brought with him turned out to be a jealous person.

It was not the best plan to offend the person who was close to him during their first meeting.

So he hurriedly stopped Su Moyi, changed the topic and said with a smile: “My dear madam, I misunderstood. What Zhang meant was to have these maids serve Brother Zhou and my dear madam to take a bath together.”
