Chapter 16 Hua Lanyin
Like, it's too similar.
The old man was so excited that his hands were shaking, and he looked at Lin Xi's eyes with excitement for a while, joy for a while, and regret for a while.
Lin Xi stood in fear and didn't dare to move.
She greeted weakly: "Uncle Lu?"
Only then did Old Man Lu come back to his senses, and his eyes were full of love when he looked at Lin Xi, "Girl, sit." ”
Lin Xi sat down.
Lu Chengxiao took over the old man's work and began to make tea.
The old man seemed to think about it for a long time before he asked Lin Xi, "Girl, can I take the liberty of asking, who is your mother?"
Lin Xi was a little confused, but he still replied honestly: "My mother is Hua Lanyin, and Old Man Lu knows me?"
Speaking of which, we are still old acquaintances, and if it weren't for her, how would we old guys still be as beautiful as they are now, just don't mention the past! By the way, how is your mother now?"
As he spoke, Old Man Lu waved his hand and asked about Lin Xi's mother's current situation.
Lin Xi looked sad, "My mother, she ...... has passed away. ”
Lin Xi thought more than once that if she had been reborn a few years earlier, would she have been able to save her mother's life?
Old Man Lu slammed his hand, and the tea in the cup spilled out.
He muttered to himself, "How come? She's still so young......
The vivid girl in my impression suddenly lost her color.
"How did your mother die?" asked Old Man Lu unwillingly.
"She died of illness. "It can also be said that he was killed by Jiang Wanyu!
Lin Xi lowered her head and didn't say the second half of the sentence, her mother's revenge, she wants to avenge herself!
Besides, if this kind of thing is said, probably no one will believe it.
Old Man Lu fell back to the stool, and sighed after a while, "It's a shame!"
"Uncle Lu, can you tell me about my mother's past?" Lin Xi was a little excited, she thought that no one in this world would remember that there was also a Hua Lanyin who once existed.
Old Man Lu took a sip of tea, but only said two words: "Your mother is a very good person, and later because of some things, she retired, and I never got any news of her, but I didn't expect that she was no longer there, and the world is unpredictable......"
After the old man finished speaking, he pressed the small button on the table.
Not long after, a man dressed as a butler came over, and the old man ordered, "Go and get the wooden box in the safe in my study." ”
When the housekeeper Lu Jin heard this, he was surprised for a moment, and soon returned to normal.
"Okay, sir, wait a minute. ”
At this moment, Lu Chengxiao's tea was also boiled, he carefully added it for the old man, and poured another cup for Lin Xi.
Tea leaves float and sink under the impact of the current.
Lin Xi didn't know what to say.
"Do you know how to taste tea?" asked Old Man Lu.
Lin Xi nodded, after being disfigured in her previous life, she had been hiding at home and reluctant to go out, so she liked to tinker with these various things.
"Drink and see?"
The tea soup is vermilion, Lin Xi tasted it a little, and the entrance was wrapped in a warm and fragrant fragrance, but this aroma was not monotonous.
It's not like green tea, with a hint of bitterness.
Lin Xi's eyes lit up: "It's the best Jin Junmei!"
Old Man Lu smiled and said, "The little girl has a very smart tongue, can she make tea, do you want to show your hand?"
Lin Xi nodded, how dare she refuse?
Tea can be used for self-cultivation and meditation, she studied a lot in her previous life, and she found that she seemed to be quite talented in this area, and she thought that she could still pass the tea cooking technique.
Old Man Lu watched her every move carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more uncalm he became.
He seemed to see Hua Lanyin's shadow from Lin Xi, and the two of them even carried the teapot in almost identical postures.
At the entrance of the tea soup, Old Man Lu was even more shocked in his heart.
He has been brewing tea here for more than twenty years, and all he thinks about is that taste.
Today, I finally got my wish.
At this time, Lu Jin came back.
He respectfully handed a wooden box to Old Man Lu, and then stepped back respectfully.
Lu Chengxiao also looked at the wooden box, he remembered that the old man attached great importance to this wooden box, and he didn't let anyone touch it at all on weekdays.
He never knew what it was in.
The old man rubbed the perimeter of the box repeatedly, and some parts of the wooden box had been touched and reflected, and it looked like it had been cherished.
When the old man withdrew from his memories, he opened the wooden box, and inside was a necklace.
The pendant is a piece of jade, but it is carved into the shape of a feather, and it is inlaid with gemstones of different colors, large and small, which is luxurious but does not appear to be bejeweled, but makes people feel that there is a transcendent elegance.
Lin Xi was shocked at the first sight of this necklace.
What a superb design!
The old man seemed to be looking at the old man through the necklace: "This necklace was worn by your mother all the time, and then she disappeared, leaving only this necklace, and now I will give it to you." ”
Lin Xi was a little stunned, "Give it to me?"
"Well, this is also your mother's relic, and it is only natural to give it to you. ”
The old man hesitated for a moment and continued: "Actually, I hope you can wear it all the time, because it is a token. ”
Lin Xi was even more confused: "Token?"
What kind of token, it can't be a token of love, right? She shuddered at the idea of her own.
"This is a promise made by a few old fellows to your mother, if you come to us in any difficulty, we will not sit idly by. ”
After the old man finished speaking, he rubbed his eyebrows, looking a little tired.
Seeing this, Lu Chengxiao took Lin Xi and left.
On the way back, Lin Xi was wondering, what earth-shattering thing did her mother do to make Old Man Lu remember it like this?
Moreover, who are they talking about?
In the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, Old Man Lu took out his mobile phone and told a few other people about Hua Lanyin, and he couldn't help but regret it a little.
"At the beginning, she left a letter and left, saying not to look for her, if we had gone to find her, would the outcome have been different?"
——
Lin Xi went home and found that the atmosphere at home was extremely heavy.
Lin Shaoyuan sat on the sofa with a calm face, Jiang Shi threw herself into Jiang Wanyu's arms and cried, while Jiang Wanyu kept comforting her softly.
Lin Xi glanced at it and didn't plan to go over to mix.
It's just that as soon as her feet stepped on the stairs, Lin Shaoyuan's roar followed, "Do you still know that you are back? There is such a big thing at home, you don't solve problems for the family, and you go to fight with wild men, Lin Xi, do you still know that you are from the Lin family?"
Lin Xi's eyes froze, and he sneered: "According to what you say, I don't even have the freedom to go out?"
