Chapter 3
Lin Jingmo lazily opened his eyes, stretched his arms, and suddenly remembered that he slept with Shang Shixu last night. He carefully looked sideways and found that Shang Shixu had long since disappeared.

She breathed a sigh of relief, sat up, and shouted to the door: "Mother Li!"

Mother Li opened a crack in the door upon hearing the sound, and poked her head in carefully. Seeing that Shang Shixu was not there, she walked in generously, and said with a sneer, "Second Miss was tired last night, and she only got up this day when she was so old."

"Yes." Lin Jingmo twisted her neck. After all, she and Shang Shixu slept under the same quilt last night. Although they have been married for three years, Shang Shixu is just a strange man to her at this moment.I have been tense all night, how can I not be tired.

Lin Jingmo turned his head and looked at Li's mother again: "Mom, with a smirk on your face, did you pick up something good?"

Mother Li brought the teacup and asked Lin Jingmo to rinse her mouth, and said, "Auspicious days are coming! In a few days, we will be our Queen's Royal Highness."

Lin Jingmo rinsed his mouth, washed his face with the brought water, and said, "So it's the elder sister's birthday."

When Li's mother said that 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 and said, "Eldest sister is really kind to me. The ganoderma lucidum and ginseng in that kitchen almost made me suffer from nosebleeds. I must give her a big gift."

After finishing speaking, Mama Li dressed her, and she returned to the main courtyard where she lived.

Lin Jingmo opened his dowry to see what could be given to the queen, but found a very beautiful gold box inlaid with red, blue and emerald stones, which was very delicate.

She opened it curiously and saw that it was empty.

Lin Jingmo held up the box and looked at it carefully, and said to himself: "This size, there should be a hairpin in it before? What kind of hairpin can be packed in such a luxurious treasure box?"

"Madam, do you remember something?"

A voice suddenly sounded behind him, Lin Jingmo was not on guard, and threw the box on the ground in a jerk.

She turned her head 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: "Didn't my husband go to court? Why are you here?"

Shang Shixu looked at the ground, it was the box containing the golden phoenix hairpin that almost stabbed Lin Jingmo to death.

He stared at the treasure box and said: "There is nothing wrong in the Yamen today, Madam is in better health, so I want to come back earlier to take care of Madam."

He picked up the treasure box for Lin Jingmo and asked, "Is Madam looking for something?"

Lin Jingmo took the box and gently patted off the dust stuck on it: "In a few days it will be my elder sister's birthday. Although I don't remember the past, when I woke up, my elder sister gave me some supplements. They sent people to look at me many times, and should send her some good things."

After finishing speaking, he opened the drawer again: "But here are all heavy and tacky gold ornaments and jewelry."

Shang Shixu smiled faintly when he heard the words: "Who would give others the gold ornaments I have worn as gifts? Her Royal Highness is so honorable, what kind of hairpin do you want?"

Lin Jingmo had a flash of inspiration: "That's right, the eldest sister is a queen, and most of the accessories she wears are palace-made. If you find some styles that are not common in the palace for her, it must be fresh and interesting."

After all, it is time to start the business and leave.

Shang Shixu instinctively shook off her hand, and Lin Jingmo looked at him suspiciously.

Shang Shixu shook his hands uncomfortably and said, "Where are you going, madam?"

"Of course I went outside to see if there are any fresh and fashionable jewelry and clothes to buy for my elder sister. Alright, my husband will go with me." After saying that, he took Shang Shixu's hand again and walked outside.

Shang Shixu looked back at the room they came out of. The scene of that day was vivid in his memory. Looking back, he followed Lin Jingmo out while planning in his heart: There are many eyes and ears in the mansion, so it's hard to do it. It's not sure when you leave the mansion. There is a chance to kill Lin Jingmo...

The two came to Linglong Pavilion, the largest jewelry and rouge shop in central Beijing.

When the boss saw Lin Jingmo, he came forward 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 his head to look at the boss, with crooked eyebrows and a bright smile.

The boss was taken aback. He had never seen Lin Jingmo with a plain face. Lin Jingmo was usually dressed up in a flamboyant and gorgeous way. Today, when he saw her without makeup, she had a childish face. She looked like a pure girl.

Lin Jingmo looked at the stunned boss, raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Boss, do you know me?"

The boss came back to his senses, and hurriedly replied: "That's natural, Mrs. Shang is a frequent visitor of our Linglong Pavilion."

After finishing speaking, he picked up a box of rouge from the side and opened it, and said, "Madam Shang has run out of powder? This is the new rouge, take a look."

Lin Jingmo came closer to smell it, sneezed suddenly, rubbed his nose and said, "It smells so strong, it's not good, I don't want this. Boss, what do I buy from you on weekdays? "

The boss smiled all over his face, nodded, and went to the drawer to take out the brocade box: "The villain knows what Mrs. Shang likes. Although I haven't seen him for a long time, I still keep them for Mrs. Shang!"

After all, 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: "Mrs. Shang, don't you want the most expensive, the best, and the biggest every time you come?" Then he took a step closer with the brocade box in his hand: "The biggest gem in the shop, the most expensive material, and the best workmanship. , it's all here."

Lin Jingmo shook his head, and casually picked up a pair of pure gold hairpins.

The boss said: "A pair of gold hairpins inlaid with plum blossoms. The head of the hairpins is made of hollowed out five-petal plum blossoms as the base, and a ruby ​​is inlaid in the middle of the petals. The gold and red complement each other. Although the style is simple, it is luxurious and rich."

Lin Jingmo curled his lips: "This is too ostentatious, and it's so inconvenient to carry."

She put down the gold hairpin and picked up a pair of gold bracelets.

The boss then introduced: "A pair of gold inlaid treasure bracelets, composed of two semicircular gold pieces, one end is connected by a loose leaf, and the other end is connected by a bolt, which can be opened and closed freely. The outer wall of the bracelet is engraved and twisted. Silk patterns, eight red sapphires are inlaid on the wall."

Lin Jingmo opened his mouth to look at him in surprise: "Wearing such a pair of gold bracelets, it's too heavy...don't want it."

Shang Shixu looked at Lin Jingmo: Lin Jingmo usually lives extravagantly. He likes to wear gold and silver.
Suddenly, Lin Jingmo saw a unique jade hairpin, white and greasy jade, carved with a flying phoenix, she said casually: "Liu Li is like a leaf jade, and its wonderful quality is natural and not flawed."

Shang Shixu was taken aback, didn't she only like jewels?

Lin Jingmo handed the hairpin to the boss and said: "Jade is exquisite in quality and exquisite in carving. It is both elegant and dignified. This is it. Help me find a wooden box made of green sandalwood to wrap it up."

When the two came out of Linglong Pavilion, Shang Shixu secretly pointed at Lin Jingmo from time to time: There are mixed fish and dragons here, so it's hard to start with. How can we coax her into a secluded alley?

Lin Jingmo felt the other party's gaze following him, and turned his face away shyly: "The street is so lively, in front of so many people, just staring at me like this, how much you admire me!"I don't know how to restrain myself outside!
Just as Lin Jingmo was thinking, he accidentally bumped into the person who came across him, but fortunately, Shang Shixu reached out and hugged her in time: "Ma'am, be careful."

The two looked at each other, and Lin Jingmo's heart was pounding.

She hurriedly reached out and pushed Shang Shixu away, straightened her hair, and said with a blushing face, "Thank you...husband."

Shang Shixu looked at her but was a little puzzled: Where did she sing?Why is your face so red?
It just so happened that another carriage drove up at this moment and almost bumped into Lin Jingmo. Shang Shixu stepped forward, put his arms around her waist, leaned against her ear and whispered flirtatiously, "Madam, are you okay?" ?”

Suddenly forcibly approaching Shang Shixu, Lin Jingmo couldn't help but widen his eyes, and slightly opened his lips. Shang Shixu spoke in a very low voice, and his warm breath sprayed on her neck. She stretched out her hand and gently pushed him. She said embarrassingly, "It's so itchy."

"What did Madam say?" Sensing her nervousness, Shang Shixu straightened up, raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Jingmo playfully, unexpectedly Lin Jingmo, who used to be domineering and domineering, would still be shy.

Shang Shixu was tall and tall, but Lin Jingmo's toes were slightly tiptoed but only reached his chest. At this distance, he was neither advancing nor retreating.

When Shang Shixu saw this, he refused to let her go. He just hugged Lin Jingmo in his arms and rested his chin on top of her head. Lin Jingmo's brain was emptied in an instant, and his heart skipped a beat.

After an unknown amount of time, Shang Shixu smirked and said, "Madam's heart is beating so fast!"

Lin Jingmo hurriedly pushed him away, feeling hot on his face, turned his head to the side, and covered half of his face with his hands: "I'm going to go shopping elsewhere, my husband, let's go back to the house first." to escape.

Shang Shixu smiled and shook his head from behind: "Madam, slow down and be careful where you step."

After finishing speaking, his smile gradually disappeared, and he looked coldly at Lin Jingmo's fleeing back: Do you think you can escape today?
Lin Jingmo trotted all the way to the end of the street, she held her face with her hands, the temperature on her face surprised her: "What's wrong with me?"

Suddenly she heard the sound of a bird singing next to her. She turned to the narrow alley and found two chicks on the ground. On the ground?"

Looking up again, I saw the bird's nest on the tree. I guess it was accidentally blown down by the wind, but I don't know!

Lin Jingmo smiled slightly, bit his lower lip lightly, his elf-like eyes shone brightly, and seemed to have a solution.

Shang Shixu followed Lin Jingmo all the way to the narrow alley. He was just glad that she actually walked to the most remote alley by himself, but he chased her into the alley and saw that Lin Jingmo had long since disappeared!
He pressed the dagger he was going to use to kill Lin Jingmo on his waist, wondering, when he looked up, the girl was sitting on a branch of a tree under the sun, she carefully put the two chicks in her hand back into the nest, and then gently With a smile, a little shyness appeared on her white and transparent face, she bowed her head brightly and waved to Shang Shixu under the tree: "Husband!"

Shang Shixu's hand gradually moved away from the dagger. He looked at the strange lady in disbelief, and couldn't help but frown slightly: Lin Jingmo, you climbed really high, so... my dagger can't reach you .

Lin Jingmo looked down the tree. He didn't feel it when he climbed up just now. Looking at it now, he couldn't help sighing: I have climbed so high!
She moved her body tentatively, and felt a little frightened when she was about to jump down. Her two willow eyebrows were knit together, she pursed her lips, and suddenly remembered Shang Shixu under the tree, and cast him a look of begging for help.

Shang Shixu was thoughtful, but did not respond.

Lin Jingmo turned his head and looked to the other side of the tree. The other side of the high wall was someone's yard, and there was a strong man with his upper body naked washing his body!
The man saw a wild woman peeping at him from the tree on the top of the wall, so he said angrily: "Who is it? In broad daylight, the world is bright, how dare you peek!"

Lin Jingmo was startled when he saw this scene, his feet were unsteady and he fell directly.

When Shang Shixu saw this, he couldn't help but took two steps forward, just in time to catch Lin Jingmo who had fallen. Jumping down, he took Shang Shixu's hand and ran out of the alley.

……

It was night, and Lin Jingmo was lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She looked at the vacant place beside her, and couldn't help recalling what happened on the street during the day. Shang Shixu's shoulders were broad and strong, and she thought of being in his arms, her heart pounding. In the scene of jumping, Lin Jingmo got into the bed shyly and covered his head. After a while, he leaked his eyes and looked at the door.

After waiting for a while without seeing Shang Shixu come back, she came out again: Why Shang Shixu hasn't finished his work yet, he will come in later, what am I going to say?

At this moment, Shang Shixu was rummaging through Lin Jingmo's room in the main courtyard. He deliberately waited until all the guards from the Lin residence went to the side courtyard to protect Lin Jingmo and came to look for the account books.

In his opinion, if the account book can be found, even if Lin Jingmo recovers his memory, there is no evidence. Unfortunately, he did not even find the shadow of the account book after repeated searches.

Shang Shixu stroked his forehead, very distressed: Where will this woman put the account books?It seems that only she knows.

So he had no choice but to go back to the courtyard empty-handed, and when he saw the lights in the room, he knew that Lin Jingmo was still waiting for him.

Thinking back to the last time when Lin Jingmo waited for him to get married, Lin Jingmo was born in the Shangshu Mansion, and she was spoiled since she was a child. People always thought that she was either married to a royal family member or a duke. He was picked as a humble tribute student who had just passed the exam.

On the wedding night, she didn't give Shang Shixu any face, and made him wait in the snow for two full hours without entering the wedding room. In the end, Shang Shixu walked away without going to Lin Jingmo's room again. Leave her with an empty main courtyard.

Recalling Lin Jingmo's face in the past, domineering, vicious, arrogant, and mean.

Even her cousin Zilan has disappeared because of her, and Shang Shixu only feels disgusted.

He slammed the door open, and Lin Jingmo immediately closed his eyes when he heard the door opening.

Shang Shixu stared fiercely at Lin Jingmo, who was pretending to be asleep: keeping her would be a disaster after all, if she strangled her to death while she was sleeping...

Lin Jingmo closed his eyes, his heart was scratching like hundreds of cat's paws: Staring at me like this again, is my face so pretty?
Shang Shixu looked at Lin Jingmo who closed his eyes tightly but gradually opened his smiling face: Is she pretending to sleep?There are so many guards outside, if they can't kill her, they will scare the snake...

So he went to the table and blew out the candle.

After waiting for a long time, Lin Jingmo slowly squinted his eyes and took a peek, only to realize that Shang Shixu was not lying beside him.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, she sat up, and it turned out that Shang Shixu was sleeping on the soft mat on the ground with the quilt.

"Madam, rest. You tossed and turned and couldn't sleep last night. Maybe it's because you just recovered from a serious illness and you're not used to sharing a bed with others." Shang Shixu said and closed his eyes coldly.

Lin Jingmo hurriedly lay down and responded, "Okay."
