Chapter 134: Returning
With the sound of horses' hooves, Lin Nuannuan held back her tears and left the Chengjun Palace. It's not that I didn't see Xue Mingyu's tears when I wrote "Fun" www.biquge.info Pavilion, nor did I not see Jiang Qingyuan's reluctance. declined their send-off, and Lin Nuannuan returned to the Lin Guogong Mansion alone. It's not that she's afraid of bothering them, it's just that in the future, she has to go by herself, find relatives, protect the house, and solve the mystery fog. Her Lin Nuannuan's road ahead is full of responsibilities and a long way to go.
The last time she returned home, Lin Nuannuan was full of indignation because of Lin Yuze's matter, so she didn't appreciate the beauty of Lin Guogong's mansion much. Now that he has entered the mansion, he has just come to wait for Mrs. Lin to return to Xiao County in Jiangnan together, and Lin Nuannuan has no heart to see these many scenes.
Counting up, the Lin Guogong Mansion should be one of the best among all the mansions of dignitaries and nobles in Beijing. It turned out that the princess's mansion was connected to the Guogong Mansion, and was later opened by Mrs. Lin. The Xinyuan where Lin Yuze and Li Qingqian live is in the princess's mansion across the door.
hurriedly came out of the Chengjun Palace, and insisted on coming to Lin Guogong's Mansion to wait first, not for the side, she just wanted to see the courtyard where Lin Yuze and his wife lived.
Passing through the corner gate opened by the two houses, and then walking through a path covered with green shade by bamboo, along the crooked verandah, admiring the lotus flowers in the pond, I inadvertently came to the Xinyuan of the East Cross Courtyard.
Mama Jiang, who led the way, held her waist and was about to say to Lin Nuannuan, but found that she had already looked at the plaque of the book 'Xinyuan' and burst into tears.
"Mama, this word is written by my father!" The crisp, sweet children's voice with a choked sound went straight into Mama Jiang's ears.
She was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, this is exactly what the second master wrote." ”
"It's so well written!" Mama Jiang just wanted to echo, when she saw Miss Lin Si, who had just returned home, stretched out her hand, as if tracing those two words in the air. On the white face, a pair of bright eyes were full of nostalgia.
Mama Jiang couldn't bear it, and hurriedly wanted to step forward to comfort the little master, but found that although her eyes were full of tears, they were exceptionally bright. She traced the words on the plaque very carefully. In that way, it was as if Second Master Lin was standing in front of her.
"Mama, you see that my father is really an all-rounder who can write and martial arts!" Lin Nuannuan's voice was low, as if he was talking to Mama Jiang, and he seemed to be talking to himself.
Mama Jiang's eyes were sour, she helped the bat silver hairpin on her head, held Lin Nuannuan's hand, and said softly: "Fourth Miss, let's go in!"
"Hmm!" Lin Nuannuan bowed slightly, and her eyes didn't leave the plaque at all.
Just when Mama Jiang felt sorry for her little master, the eldest girl Qiuyue came over and said, "Mama Jiang, the old lady called you to go back, saying that she was looking for an object." ”
Mama Jiang looked at Lin Nuannuan, and saw that she seemed to have sadness in her expression, so she was a little relieved.
"Mama, go back! There are okra and autumn chrysanthemums here. Lin Nuannuan saw that she was embarrassed and hurriedly persuaded her.
"This," Mama Jiang hesitated,
"Fourth Miss, you just take a look in the garden, don't go into the house in the east, if you are tired, come back first, or sit under the water pavilion in front for a while, and go back when the old slave is done!"
"It's okay, Mama, isn't there okra for them!" Lin Nuannuan said disapprerovantly.
"But..."There are some words, but it is not good to say to Lin Nuannuanming, and I really don't feel at ease if I only let her be here. If the old lady didn't have something important there, she wouldn't have called someone to come to her if she knew that she was with the fourth lady.
Mama Jiang, who has always been cool, couldn't help but hesitate for a while.
"Okay, Mama, I promise you, just take a look near this Xinyuan, and wait for you at the Water Pavilion after you come out, okay?" Lin Nuannuan's voice was slightly nasal, she took Mama Jiang's hand and said softly. Mama Jiang couldn't stand her little appearance the most. I had to hold okra and Qiu Ju and tell them carefully, and then followed Qiu Yue.
Qiu Yue is the big girl who just mentioned it, and when you hear this name, you know that it will be left to Lin Nuannuan in the future.
She also knew it herself, so she hurriedly saluted Lin Nuannuan respectfully, her mouth moved two or three times, and she looked at her again and again. In the end, I swallowed back the words that were full of words.
It's not that she doesn't want to say it, it's just that it's just a rumor, and the masters are not allowed to talk nonsense, she said it without evidence, not to mention whether Mama Jiang will let her go later, even this fourth young lady will think that she is too talkative and unpleasant.
Lin Nuannuan watched Mama Jiang, who was full of anxiety, and Qiuyue, who wanted to stop talking, leave in a hurry, and couldn't help but have a strong curiosity about the courtyard that Xinyuan Dongshou had hurriedly glimpsed.
But now she is most concerned about Xinyuan.
As soon as Lin Nuannuan walked to the door, a servant woman opened the door. Although the yard is not as big as the Hexiang Courtyard, it is much larger than the courtyard of Sanjin in Xiao County, Jiangnan County.
As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by the fragrance of water gardenia. Lin Nuannuan hurriedly looked up and saw several clumps of bamboo in the northeast corner of the yard neatly planted together to form a hedge. There is a "town house tank" next to it, which is filled with water, and there are a few white petals floating on it, which seems to be the water garden on the side. There are not many gardenias, only two, but the flowers are sporadic and do not look very well planted.
Lin Nuannuan's eyes darkened, and she gently supported the lotus beeswax on her head. She remembered the lively water gardenia in the Jiangnan Forest House. Every year, from the end of spring to the beginning of summer, the fragrance is also filled with Lin Nuannuan's entire memory of summer...... Now the flowers are similar, but the people are different! I still remember that Lin Erye would cut off the newly blooming gardenia and insert it into Li Qingqian's hair, and then whispered in her ear: "It's really fragrant!" Then Li would smile shyly at Lin Nuannuan, who was pretending to be stupid, and insert the other one in Lin Erye's hand into Lin Nuannuan's button.
At that time, there were white flowers and green shirts, a pair of beautiful people and a little fairy child like in the painting. often makes Mama Wang smile from ear to ear.... But now.....
Lin Nuannuan gently picked up a handful of water from the water tank, and there were a few petals of the water gardenia in the water. She sniffed it gently, as if there was also a faint floral scent in the water. Through this water, Lin Nuannuan seemed to see Li's warm smile, she said: "Nuan Nuan, my mother put this water gardenia in a bowl of water for you to raise, so that your house has always had this fragrance, okay?"
"Okay, mother, you have such a good idea!" Lin Nuannuan muttered a few words to herself, and then sprinkled the water into the water tank.
Seeing this, the servant woman next to her hurriedly smiled and said: "Fourth Miss, this water gardenia is originally a thing in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is not very suitable for the water and soil here, and the slaves and maids have also taken care of it for a long time, so they have only opened one or two." ”
"Well, you have a heart!" Lin Nuannuan nodded lightly, didn't look at her, only stretched out his hand, and pulled out the two weeds in the gardenia with his little white short hand.
"Oh, Fourth Miss, why are you doing it yourself, what's the use of asking us slaves!" Qiu Ju hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe her, and her eyes squinted at the servant woman who spoke.
"It's just, how can I let you do it. It's also that the grass is growing too fast, and it's only been a long time since it has come out again, and the slaves and maids haven't had time to pull it out yet!" the servant wiped the sweat from her face, put away the smile she had just come, and said in earnest.
"Oh, is it?" Lin Nuannuan dragged out her tone, glanced at her, and didn't say much, only raised her feet and walked forward.
Okra glanced fiercely at the servant woman and hurriedly followed.
