He Linwan looked at the shopkeeper, who had already bowed his head and retreated to the side.

He Linwan said to Wei who came over: "Mother, I'm fine." ”

Wei looked at He Lin Wan for a while, and was relieved to see that she was really intact.

Mrs. Lin looked at Miss Lin, whose face was pale, and said with displeasure on her face: "What's the matter! What are you calling for a good look!"

Miss Lin shrunk her neck, bit her lip and pointed to the bottom of the table and said, "Yes, there are spiders, spiders......"

Everyone looked at Miss Lin's hand, and sure enough, they saw a spider the size of a coin on the ground.

Mrs. Lin frowned and muttered, "How can there be spiders in this winter?"

The shopkeeper looked nervously over at the motionless spider on the ground, and said with a smile: "It's a dead spider! It may have fallen from above when cleaning the beams of the house this morning, sorry, sorry." ”

The shopkeeper immediately picked up the spider on the ground, as if he was afraid of scaring these nobles.

Mrs. Lin glared at Miss Lin coldly, disgusted that she was making a fuss and almost getting into trouble, but because of the presence of outsiders, she didn't say anything too mean, and Miss Lin lowered her head and refused to raise it.

The shopkeeper is still apologizing uneasily, saying that today's tea money is free.

He Linwan said: "Forget it, it's just a false alarm." ”

Wei didn't want to deal with the shopkeeper, so he let them go down.

Mrs. Pan said apologetically: "I saw that this teahouse was cleaned up quite cleanly, so I didn't let people clean it carefully. Good boy, scared you. ”

Although the person who was frightened was Miss Lin. Mrs. Pan's comforting words were said to He Linwan.

After this episode, everyone lost the interest in chatting, but fortunately, the steward of the Pan family walked in at this time and said that the broken branch blocking the road outside had been moved away and the road had been opened.

Mrs. Pan said, "In that case, let's go back first today." In a few days, when the snow stops, I will invite you to my house to enjoy the plums, and then I will give you a post, you must appreciate your face!"

The Wei family nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Pan and the others walked out of the teahouse surrounded by the maids, and He Linwan said to Wei: "Mother, the charcoal stove on the carriage seems to be out of carbon." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately said, "I have here the fine silver filigree carbon, Ah Shan! ”

The shopkeeper Ah Shan answered, and immediately ran to get the carbon. I'm afraid that the carriage that has just been added with carbon will be stuffy. Wei took He Linwan to sit in the teahouse for a while, and let the carriages of other families pass first.

After the carriage was warm, Wei got up and left the teahouse with He Linwan, and the shopkeeper stood silently at the door to open the curtain for them.

He Linwan was one step behind Wei's, and when she walked to the side of the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper raised her head. He Linwan met a pair of bright eyes in a blink of an eye.

He Linwan tilted his head slightly. A name was shouted in a low voice: "Cui Yan?" although it was a question. The tone is firm.

The shopkeeper seemed to be stunned, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He Linwan's voice was not loud, but Chunxiao, who was walking behind her, heard it. I couldn't help but look at the young shopkeeper with a shocked face.

Cui Yan is a ranger who wanders in the dock all the year round, he was responsible for the transmission of the communication between He Linwan and Li Yu before, Chunxiao had contact with him a few times when he helped He Linwan deliver the letter, and the impression of Cui Yan was a rough man with a beard and five big and three thick, and he always had a strong smell of wine and inferior rouge gouache, in short, the Cui Yan that Chunxiao knew was very different from the shop boy in front of him with fine skin and tender meat, both in appearance and temperament, no wonder Chunxiao didn't recognize it just now.

Chunxiao said with some confusion: "He ......"

Wei Shi turned around when he heard the voice, and said suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Chunxiao immediately shut up, He Linwan didn't say anything more, and took a few steps forward to hold Wei's arm: "It's okay, get in the car." ”

The shopkeeper stood at the door of the store with his head bowed and saw them off, and he slowly straightened up until the carriage drove out of the long street. At this time, where is the second shop still has half a point of submissive appearance just now, his eyes are bright and deep, touching his chin and looking thoughtfully at the direction where the carriage disappeared, I don't know what he thought of, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled, revealing a ruffian smile, and his originally ordinary face immediately became vivid and dazzling.

After He Linwan went back, he took out the thing that the shopkeeper had secretly stuffed into her hand, it was a ball of paper, and the paper looked very rough, like inferior straw paper.

He Linwan unfolded the paper ball with the same expression, and the words on it seemed to be written in carbon strips, and the handwriting was sloppy and perfunctory, but fortunately, even Meng Jie could barely recognize what was written.

After reading the letter written on straw paper silently, He Linwan threw it into the three-legged beast-headed brazier used for heating in the middle of the room, and thought thoughtfully while roasting the fire and keeping his hands warm.

I didn't want to burn with the straw paper, and a choking black smoke came out of the brazier, and He Lin might as well be choked at night.

"Ahem......"

When Chunxiao saw it, she hurriedly ran to open the window, and turned around and said, "Oh girl, we don't want this kind of straw paper to start a fire in the kitchen of our house, why did you just throw it in the brazier!"

It's no wonder that He Linwan was born in a wealthy family, and everything she used was good, even when she escaped from the Yang family, she suffered some hardships along the way, and her cousin Ye Yining was by her side to take care of her, and she had never encountered a paper that couldn't even burn on fire.

It was rare for Chunxiao to see her own big girl with great powers so embarrassed, although she was a little distressed when she coughed so much that tears came out, she still couldn't help but laugh secretly.

At this time, Aunt Ying walked in from outside with her dumb sister, smelled the smell of smoke and fire in the house, and saw that He Linwan couldn't stop coughing, Aunt Ying couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Aunt Ying has been staying in the house for several years to be a husband for He Linwan, and Wei saw that He Linwan was becoming more and more of a beautiful and calm appearance, thinking that Aunt Ying had taught well, and was very grateful and respectful to Aunt Ying.

He Linwan had a wait-and-see attitude towards Aunt Ying when she first came, but after getting along over the years, she found that Aunt Ying's indifferent temperament was not pretended, and she lived in a simple and low-key manner on weekdays, and she could also be a companion to Wei's, so gradually she also had a bit of teacher-student friendship with Aunt Ying.

Chunxiao naturally covered up with He Linwan and said: "It's all the slaves and maids who are not good, and accidentally threw the melon seed shell and peel into the brazier, but I don't want the damp melon seed shell to burn so much smoke and choke the girl." ”

There were indeed some half-burned melon seed shells in the brazier, and Aunt Ying came over to look at it and sighed, "Go and wipe your girl's eyes with a wet handkerchief." ”

Chunxiao immediately responded, and soon brought back a steaming handkerchief.

He Linwan was already fine, and after wiping it casually, he asked Aunt Ying, "Mr. came to me for something?"

may be able to see that He Linwan doesn't like people around her very much, Aunt Ying rarely comes to her house except when she teaches He Linwan, and usually if she comes to find her on purpose, there is something wrong.

Aunt Ying said: "Biyun Nunnery's Rufang Shitai and I met to expand the monument, originally I wanted to wait for the snow to stop before going, but the snow seems to be unable to stop for a while, in order to avoid waiting too long, I plan to go up the mountain today." I have just gone to tell my wife that I will stay in the mountains for a few days. ”

He Linwan looked at the sky outside, and was a little worried: "The snow is falling so heavily, I'm afraid the road up the mountain is not easy to walk, right? And I heard that it hasn't been too peaceful outside recently......

Aunt Ying said: "It's okay, I'll just walk slowly." Although Biyun Nunnery is outside the city, it is very close to the place where Wendeng Camp is stationed, so you don't have to worry. ”

Biyun Nunnery's Rufang Shi is too square and friendly, He Linwan knew that Aunt Ying had a very good relationship with her, so when she saw that Aunt Ying insisted on going, she didn't stop her, but said: "In that case, Mr. should take a few more people to go, don't walk the mountain road by yourself, and let someone carry a soft sedan chair to send you up the mountain when the time comes." ”

Aunt Ying looked at He Linwan's gaze very softly, and she didn't refuse her kindness: "Okay, I know." ”

After the carriage was arranged, He Linwan sent Aunt Ying out: "Sir, you have to come back early, don't forget that there are still students waiting to ask for advice." ”

Aunt Ying smiled and sighed: "You are smart and studious, draw inferences from others, and Mr. has nothing to teach you for a long time." ”

He Lin said: "Who says no? Master read 10,000 books and traveled 10,000 miles when he was young, even if you taught me 10,000 books, the experience of 10,000 miles is worth learning for several years." ”

Aunt Ying was amused by He Linwan.

The dumb girl followed behind Aunt Ying quietly, and He Linwan inadvertently saw a big bulging purse hanging from her waist and couldn't help laughing, and asked her, "This is what Xiaohuzi gave you?"

Xiaohuzi has loved to eat snacks since he was a child, and he has a big purse all the year round, which is full of candy and snacks that he likes to eat.

The dumb girl pursed her lips and smiled a little embarrassedly, and gestured at He Linwan: It was given to me by the young master.

It's strange to say, Xiaohuzi's temperament is a bit lonely, and he has not been close to the maids since he was a child, and only the dumb girl has to be treated differently by him. Xiaohuzi's way of expressing his feelings is to give food, and if he is willing to give you what he likes to eat, you will show that he is very satisfied with you.

Chunxiao also joked on the side: "I have never begged for food from the young master, and he will reward you with a purse." You see that our young master takes such a fancy to you, you can simply come and serve our young master!"

If Xiaohuzi is a few years older, this may still be misunderstood, but now Xiaohuzi is only nine years old, so he knows that this is a joke for children, and he won't think crookedly.

The dumb girl was even more embarrassed, but she hid behind Aunt Ying and gestured to Chunxiao: You have also eaten! Last time I saw you stealing walnuts and red dates from the young master when he was helping him sort out his purse!

Chunxiao's face turned red when he heard this, and he defended angrily: "Nonsense! Where do I have to steal food! I taste bad or not, I'm afraid that the young master will eat bad stomach!"

He Linwan shook his head helplessly. (To be continued.) )
