Rebirth of the fairy in the painting

Zihua brought the two of them into an empty room, and said with a serious expression, "Shangshang, I'll ask you again, are you really willing to do this for Xiang Linyuan? What kind of feelings do you have for Xiang Linyuan?" ?”

Before the merchant could answer, An Xining, who was listening next to him, was taken aback: "Zihua, what are you talking about, and the merchant, where are you going to find ginseng? Are you really going to wash it yourself and jump into the pot?" Let’s boil it and give it to Xiang Linyuan to drink.”

Zi Hua shot at him with a sharp eye: "Shut up."

An Xining immediately fell silent, crossing his two index fingers on his mouth to show that he really shut up.

There was a little blush on Shenshang's face, and his eyes were still a little swollen from crying just now, and he was watery with a little grievance: "Brother, I don't know, but I want to be with Brother Linyuan, just like you and Brother Xining Same."

An Xining staggered, almost lost his footing and fell, digging his ears and asking uncertainly: "You said just now that you want to be with Xiang Linyuan?"

The merchant nodded firmly.

An Xining was about to look up to the sky and howl: "My little ancestor, how old are you, you look three inches small and want to be with Xiang Linyuan? Even if you want to, Xiang Linyuan must have the determination to be drowned by others' spit Only dare to be with you."

The merchant was wronged: "I am already fifteen hundred years old."

"Even if you are 30 years old, it doesn't matter, as long as you look three inches a day, you can't be together, otherwise people will think you are father and son, and after [-] to [-] years, people will think you are grandparents! Just like that, do you still want to be with him, do you still want to dedicate yourself to save him?"

The merchant said with tears in his eyes, "I think so."

An Xining suddenly had nothing to say. In fact, he and Zihua didn't face such a gap.

Zihua has been silent beside him, and now he said: "Since you have made up your mind, you should do it quickly."

As he spoke, he took out a finely carved small dagger from his sleeve. When the blade was pulled out, the cold light on the tip stung everyone's eyes.

An Xining grabbed Zi Hua's hand: "What on earth do you want to do? Are you really going to take the ginseng slices as adult ginseng slices and serve them to Xiang Linyuan to drink?"

As soon as the words fell, the merchant beside him said in a childish voice: "Brother Xining, what are you talking about, I don't want to become a ginseng slice, so I won't be able to play with brother Linyuan."

An Xining was about to growl: "Since it's not about life and death, why were you talking so much nonsense just now, I thought that the merchants were going to trade their lives for their lives."

Zihua was speechless, but he still kindly explained: "Although it is not serious enough to trade your life for your life as you said, the damage to the body will cause great harm to the merchants, and it is unknown whether it can be recovered by practicing , so I ask the merchants to be cautious."

That's how it turned out, An Xining suddenly realized, when he looked down, he saw that the merchant was holding the dagger resolutely, the sleeve on his left arm had been rolled up, revealing his white and plump arm like a lotus root, and the cold blade was slashing. However, with the ginseng's cry of pain, the room was immediately enveloped by a strong ginseng fragrance.

When he came back to his senses, Zihua was already bandaging Shenshang's wound, wisps of bright red ooze from the snow-white bandage, people who watched were terrified, but Shenshang just stood obediently and let Zihua move, Baozi's face was still fleshy Yes, it just lost its usual pinkness and looked a little pale. There were tears in his big eyes, which made his originally dark and clear eyeballs brighter. He was holding a piece of ginseng as long as an adult's palm in his right hand. , one side has a golden skin, while the other side reveals a snow-like interior, which was obviously cut off from the arm by Shenshang just now.

Ginseng has always cherished one's own essence and blood the most, and now that ginseng can do such a thing for Xiang Linyuan, even An Xining has to be moved.

After taking the ginseng to Xiang Daocai to see, An Xining immediately ordered someone to cook it in the kitchen and feed it to Xiang Linyuan to drink. In the afternoon, his complexion finally recovered gradually. After taking the pulse, he smiled happily: "Congratulations, Mr. Xiang, Mr. Xiang's illness is no longer life-threatening. If you take good care of it, you should wake up in a few days."

Xiang Dao didn't really relax until now, and thanked An Xining and the others again.

After returning to Prince Ning’s Mansion at night, the businessman was still unhappy. Zihua knew that he was still worried about Xiang Linyuan, so he didn’t say anything. He woke up in the middle of the night because of physical problems as usual, and was relieved by An Xining’s support. He just came back Suddenly, I saw a bright red light emitting from the wing room next door.

"Isn't this the ginseng's room? Why is it glowing red? Could it be a fire? This little fool doesn't know how to call someone. What should I do if the roasted ginseng is dry?" An Xining looked worried. , but there was a bit of gloating in his eyes.

Shenshang originally lived with An Xining and Zihua, but after spending a long time with Xiang Linyuan, for some unknown reason, he insisted on moving out of his small box to live in the wing room next door. He hurriedly ordered people to clean up the room next door and let Shenshang live in it.

Zi Hua glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense, help me over there to have a look."

The shop of the merchant was half-hidden, and An Xining walked in easily with Zi Hua. The merchant was lying quietly on the bed, his face was peaceful, no different from usual, except that his whole body was emitting flickering light. red light.

"So it wasn't the house that caught fire, but the merchant himself." An Xining asked gossipingly, "Zi Hua, what happened to him?"

Zi Hua frowned slightly, and calmly said: "If I guessed correctly, he is going to cross the catastrophe?"

"Crossing the catastrophe?" An Xining was shocked, "How could you be going to cross the catastrophe so suddenly?"

"He saved Xiang Linyuan with his own flesh and blood today, and accumulated merits. It is expected that he will survive the catastrophe."

If An Xining realized something, then he was about to back away while protecting Zihua in shock: "I read in the book that monsters would be struck by lightning when they crossed the catastrophe. I am a mortal, and you have no magic power." , can’t be implicated by the merchants.”

Zi Hua looked at him jokingly: "Don't you want to be wiped out with me?"

"That's not what I meant, haven't we lived enough?" An Xining argued in a low voice while hugging him, and then Ting Zihua said: "You forgot that I once said that grass and trees are protected by the law of heaven By the way, Shenshang crossed the catastrophe today because of saving people, I think Heaven will not embarrass him."

As soon as the words fell, An Xining saw that the red light surrounding the merchants suddenly exploded, engulfing the merchants like a raging fire. At the same time, there was loud thunder outside the house, and the trembling house trembled together. Bright lightning flashed With a mighty momentum, it fell from the sky, dividing the endless darkness into two halves, printing the room pale through the casement, and the closed door was blown by the cold wind, swaying and making a "squeak" The sound made the room even more strangely quiet.

Time passed by bit by bit, An Xining hugged the chilly Zihua tightly in his arms, the lightning and thunder outside the window gradually lost interest, and began to get up for a while, the merchant on the bed Still lying quietly, suddenly he uttered a groan, and the red light around him that had gradually subsided flourished again, and Zihua got up suddenly, and opened his eyes to look at Shenshang on the bed in disbelief.

An Xining was puzzled, he didn't know what happened, he only saw the bright red area on the bed, but Kan Zihua's expression seemed to have changed dramatically, he wanted to ask but Zihua ignored him, so he could only hold back aggrievedly In the heart.

After the time for a cup of tea, the red light gradually faded, but there was no short, fat little Shenshang on the bed. An Xining couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Zi Hua, where did the Shenshang go? It was destroyed by the fire." gone?"

Zi Hua looked at him with eyes that hated iron and steel: "Isn't that the one on the bed?"

An Xining's eyes widened even wider. Is this slender fifteen- or sixteen-year-old boy with a bit of baby fat on his face a merchant?He is not dreaming.

"He, he, he is really a businessman? It's too bizarre to grow up overnight."

Zihua pulled his hand pointing at Shenshang: "I'm also a little surprised. It stands to reason that vegetation and cultivators generally grow slowly, especially ginseng. Some of them may not be able to transform into a juvenile form after ten thousand years, but Shenshang If he has cultivated into this appearance in just a thousand years, if it is not because of his extraordinary talent, then it is because he is too obsessed."

"What obsession, obsession with eating?"

Zi Huabai didn't even give an explanation, and walked straight to the door. He has been tossing all night, but he is tired and sleepy, it's better to go back and rest.

An Xining, who was left behind, was so miserable that he could only swallow the question in his stomach again.

In the early morning of the next day, An Xining was sleeping in a daze, when he heard a scream from the next door, and then the door was opened with a "bang", and the grown-up merchant appeared in front of the bed in disheveled clothes, seeing Zihua wake up Come on, the already aggrieved little face was even more aggrieved, with two bags of tears in her dark eyes, crying: "Brother, I have become someone else."

Because of his habit, Canshang wanted to get into Zihua's arms as he spoke, to pray for comfort, but was pulled back by An Xining.Are you kidding me? Originally, when Shenshang was young, he could still be taken care of like a child, just cuddling and cuddling, but now that he is so old, if he cuddles again, does he think An Xining is dead?

Shenshang looked at An Xining puzzled, why did he hold him back, could it be that brother Xining didn't know him anymore?It seems to be the same, now that I have become someone else, I don’t even know myself, so how could Brother Xining know him? Shanshang, who thought he had figured out the key reason, kindly explained: "Brother Xining, I am Shangshang."

An Xining groaned, he didn't let go just because he knew you were a businessman, and it's not so easy to take advantage of Zihua.

Zihua couldn't help his forehead, and said: "Shanshang, you didn't become someone else, but you changed into this after crossing the catastrophe."

Shenshang was stunned, as if he was digesting what Zihua said, and asked after a while: "Brother, will Brother Linyuan still like me after I become like this?"

An Xining smirked: "I don't know if Xiang Linyuan likes you like this, but Xiang Linyuan definitely won't like you when you looked like a four-inch bean in the past."

"Brother Xining, you are talking nonsense." Shenshang's face turned red, "Brother Linyuan really likes me before."

An Xining spread his hands: "Believe it or not, you can ask Xiang Linyuan in the future to see if he likes you who was like a bun before."

Shenshang fell silent, his face turned red, but he had no words to rebut. Zihua watched the two bicker like children, and got up and dressed speechlessly. The merchant who grew up suddenly was taken aback.

Zihua calmly said: "Shangshang's parents came last night and said they wanted to take him away, but I and your prince disagreed, so they replaced him with his elder brother and stayed here, so What you see is the elder brother of the merchant participating in the reward."

Xiao Yantai looked like he was being educated: "It turns out that he is the elder brother of Master Canshang. No wonder this servant looks so familiar. The two brothers look alike."

Zihua continued to remain calm: "It's pretty similar, and this is what Shanshang should look like when he grows up."

An Xining was on the verge of kneeling for Zi Hua. He could tell a lie so calmly without blinking his eyes. Xiang Xiaoyantai's eyes changed from sympathy to sympathy, it really is a master and servant with one heart, Xiao Yantai, I will give you a salary increase after the next year.

As soon as they finished their breakfast, someone from Xiang's mansion came to report that Xiang Linyuan had woken up, and that Xiang Dao wanted to hold a banquet in the mansion, and personally thank Zi Hua for their life-saving grace.Yuan An Xining wanted to decline, but the merchants on the side looked on eagerly, so he had no choice but to agree.

After arriving at Xiang's mansion, Xiang Daocai was surprised that he didn't see the merchant, and Zihua repeated what he said to Xiao Yantai. Although Xiang Daocai felt sorry, he was picked up by his parents after all, and he also He couldn't say anything more, after bringing the three of them to Xiang Linyuan's room, he took the butler down to make lunch preparations.

Shenshang was timid because he was close to his hometown, and he fell far behind Zihua. After both of them entered the room, they hid behind the door and refused to show up. Watching An Xining leave, when he passed by Canshang, he said: "Escaping will not solve the problem. Canshang, you still have to face some things bravely."

After hesitating for a while, Shenshang nodded, and slowly moved into the door after Zihua and the two left.

Xiang Linyuan was leaning back on the bed at this time, and was stunned when he suddenly saw a handsome and handsome boy walking towards him. After all, he had never seen this boy before, but the strange thing was that this boy felt very familiar to him. Whether it's facial features or behavior, that gentle and childish feeling...

"Participant?!"

The merchant was taken aback: "Brother Linyuan, how do you know it's me?"

There was a trace of excitement in Qingyue's voice, but also a trace of confusion, but Xiang Linyuan who was opposite suddenly laughed lightly with relief: "I feel it's you."

Shenshang tentatively sat on the edge of the bed, with bright eyes, and asked cautiously, "Brother Linyuan, don't you think it's strange that I've suddenly grown so big?"

"It's a little strange," Xiang Linyuan nodded, and then whispered in the disappointment of the merchant, "But I knew you were very human, so I can accept it."

Canshang's small face was obviously bright: "Brother Linyuan, do you mean that you won't dislike my current appearance?"

"Of course," Xiang Linyuan said without hesitation, "I like whatever it is like to be a businessman."

Shenshang suddenly blushed, lowered his head and played with his fingers: "I knew that Brother Xining was lying to me. Brother Linyuan must like my previous appearance, and I also like my current appearance."

Xiang Linyuan laughed: "Yes, I like your previous appearance, and I like your current appearance even more."

He has always been confused about his feelings towards Canshang. When he was a child before, he just felt that he doted on Canshang like an elder. When the young man joined the business, the sudden joy and happiness in his heart made him realize that what he had always wanted was not just family affection, and all the contradictions and entanglements had explanations. Xiang Linyuan didn't want to resist, nor did he want to resist. This beauty.

He stretched out his hand to hug Shenshang into his arms, the fullness of his arms just made up for the emptiness in his heart, and before he could sigh, Shenshang's painful cries came from his ears.

"What's wrong?" Xiang Linyuan dug Shenshang out of his arms, and saw Shenshang clutching his arm in pain.

Thinking of his father telling him in the morning that he was saved by the ginseng brought by the merchant, and thinking about the identity of the merchant and his current situation, a thought suddenly popped into Xiang Linyuan's mind.

Without waiting for the merchant to refuse, Xiang Linyuan rolled up his sleeves. The unhealed wound was tied with a bandage, and it was still oozing with bright red blood, which immediately hurt Xiang Linyuan's eyes.

"Does it hurt?" Xiang Linyuan asked softly, with a tremor in his voice.

"It doesn't hurt, as long as brother Linyuan recovers from his illness, it won't hurt to join the business."

"Fool," Xiang Linyuan avoided the wound and put the merchant in his arms again, "You are the biggest fool in the world."

Although being scolded by Xiang Linyuan, Shenshang felt sweet in his heart, Lai secretly tied the belts of their clothes together in each other's arms, with a little joy and a little satisfaction that only he knew.

Xiang Dao outside the door quietly closed the door for them, alas, I couldn't help my father, he said why this newcomer Shenshang looks so much like a merchant, it turned out that it was really carved out of the same mold.

In mid-December of the 22nd year of Mingde, Xiang Linyuan, a newly-promoted Tanhua, sued the second prince for wooing officials to form a party for personal gain, plotting to commit crimes, and presented the roster of the wooed officials. Since then, the capital has changed.
