Chapter 635: Matchmaking
Xing Han hooked his lips and smiled, bowed slightly to Lin Wan, and said, "If you go back to the county lord, it is Mrs. Lin, please go down to the Cixin Hall, saying that she made a dress for Zaixia, let me go down and take a look." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Lin Wan frowned slightly, turned his head and asked Chief Manager Wu, "Uncle Wu, who are there in the Compassion Hall at this moment?"
Manager Wu thought for a while and said, "The eldest lady, Mrs. Yin, Miss Yin, and the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth misses are all here. ”
Lin Wan took a deep breath and ordered in a deep voice: "Uncle Wu, please go and tell my grandmother, I want to ask Xing Gongzi to accompany me to buy some pen, ink, paper and inkstone for practicing calligraphy, as for the clothes, it is not too late to wait for Xing Gongzi to come back and see them." ”
Manager Wu heard the displeasure in Lin Wan's tone, did not hesitate, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Yes, Miss Seven, the old slave will go and say it." The old lady loves you so much, she will definitely agree. ”
Lin Wan nodded and said, "Thank you Uncle Wu, let's go out first, wait outside the door, and then you will talk back to me at the door." ”
Manager Wu bowed down and responded, "Yes, Miss Seven." As he spoke, he lifted his robe and strode towards the side of the Compassion Hall.
Seeing that Manager Wu was gone, Xing Han immediately breathed a sigh of relief, gave Lin Wan a deep look, and said with a smile: "The county lord is very grateful!"
Lin Wan chuckled lightly and said jokingly: "Brother Xing, you should thank me well, grandmother must have seen that the third brother and Miss Yin are out of play, so I want to help you match her and mess up the mandarin duck score." By the way, let you see if my four sisters can make you fall in love at first sight. ”
Xing Han shook his head helplessly, and said, "Wan'er, don't laugh at me anymore, I've received invitations from several adults in the past two days, saying that they were asking me to go to the mansion as a guest, but in fact, they just wanted me to meet their young lady." Alas, I have not yet received the holy decree to take office, and no one dares to offend, so I can only drag it slowly, day by day. ”
Lin Wan shook his head slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Brother Xing, do you want to be sent to a local position, or do you want to stay in the capital?"
Xing Han smiled bitterly and said, "Where can I choose this?" Lord Lin Xiang said that there is a shortage in the household department now, and he plans to let me go. There is also a vacancy in the Hanlin Academy, and it has been decided to let Ricky go. ”
Lin Wan nodded and said, "Hubu is also a good place to go, but I always feel that there are too many rights and wrongs in the capital, and if it were me, I would be willing to go to other places to be an official, and I would be much freer." ”
Xing Han nodded slightly, and sighed in a low voice: "That's what I said, but Jing'er is in the capital, how can I be willing to leave the capital?"
Lin Wan hooked her lips and smiled, nodded, didn't say anything more, and walked out of the mansion with Xing Han one after the other.
At the gate of Lin Xiangfu, a carriage was parked, and the driver was Qin Feng. There is also a small servant next to him, leading a horse, which seems to be prepared for Xing Han.
Lin Wan couldn't help but think of the red sail that was still left in Tianxiang Tower, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed in her heart. After returning to the capital, there are too few opportunities to ride horses, if you bring Hongfan back and lock it in the stable, it is better to leave it in Tianxianglou, and she will be more relieved to have Ji Shopkeeper take care of it.
got into the carriage and waited for a while, Manager Wu came back and said respectfully to Lin Wan: "Miss Seven, the old lady heard that you asked Xing Gongzi to accompany you to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone for practicing calligraphy, and the old lady immediately agreed, and asked the old slave to bring you a message, so that you can pick a good one, let the store send it to the house, and find the bookkeeper in the house to settle the bill, and the money will come out of the account in the house." ”
Lin Wan smiled and nodded, and said, "Thank you Uncle Wu, you must have helped say a lot of good things for this trip, Wan'er will remember it in her heart, and she will not forget your kindness to Wan'er." ”
Mr. Wu was overjoyed, shook his head again and again, and said, "Miss Seventh is serious, this is all within the old slave's business. ”
Lin Wan smiled, said no more, and asked Qingtong to lower the curtain and start the carriage.
Xing Han said goodbye to Manager Wu, turned over and got on the horse, followed Lin Wan's carriage, and walked slowly towards the east end of Xiangfu Street.
The east end of Xiangfu Street is relatively quiet, and there are some shops selling the four treasures of the study room and calligraphy and paintings. Xing Han was familiar with the shop, so he didn't look at it anymore, and directly took Lin Wan to the "Wenyuan Zhai" he frequented.
The shopkeeper of Wen Yuanzhai is an old man with gray hair, wearing a long robe, and at first glance he is a very discerning old connoisseur.
The old shopkeeper knew that Lin Wan was here to buy stationery for practicing calligraphy and painting, so he immediately took out a set of very beautifully made wolf hair from the store, and carefully took out a box of fine ink and inkstone, and even picked the best paper for Lin Wan to choose.
Lin Wan didn't understand these at all, and completely asked Xing Han to help her choose. Xing Han didn't shirk either, and chose the most suitable for her. The price is naturally expensive, but Mrs. Lin said that the money came from the account of Prime Minister Lin's house, and of course Xing Han would not help Mrs. Lin save.
When the old shopkeeper saw such a knowledgeable guest who didn't ask the price, he was naturally happy in his heart, and hurriedly wrapped up all the things Xing Han had chosen.
Lin Wan politely said to the old shopkeeper: "Old man, please prepare two copies of each for me, and I want the same one." Later, I will send it directly to Lin Xiangfu to find Manager Wu, and I will say that Miss Lin Qi wants it, and he will take you to the checkout. ”
The old shopkeeper nodded again and again, and secretly said in his heart, it turned out to be Miss Lin Xiangfu's daughter, no wonder she was so arrogant.
After shopping, Lin Wan took Qingtong, Wang Qi, Luliu, and Fluttershy to the west end of Xiangfu Street.
The west end of Xiangfu Street is very lively, and there are many vendors on the street, putting some trinkets and gadgets on the street to sell.
Fluttershy and Wang Qi hold hands, looking here and there, so happy that they can't keep their mouths together. Lin Wan gave each of them ten taels of silver and asked them to buy what they liked. These little things on the street are not expensive, so they naturally bought them happily and did not forget to bring some back to the little sisters at home.
Lin Wan looked at some small things and liked them a lot, and Lu Liu followed her side, helping her pay all the way, and her mood gradually improved.
Xing Han and the other six people walked in front, and the carriage and horses slowly followed behind. A group of handsome men and beautiful women attracted the sideways of pedestrians on the street. The face of the green willow is covered with a veil, which attracts people's attention even more.
Lin Wan took advantage of the fact that no one was there, leaned into Lu Liu's ear, and said, "Lu Liu, no one knows us here, you just take off the veil, you see, you are so strange with a veil, but there are more people who look at you." ”
Midori looked around, and sure enough, many people looked at it, hesitated for a moment, and still took off the veil. The green willow was originally beautiful, but now it has taken off its veil so mysteriously and mysteriously, which has attracted the admiration of passers-by.
Lin Wan chuckled and said, "Sister Green Willow, look, everyone is praising you for being beautiful!"
