Saying that Huaizhen entered, he had already collected his tears, turned into a happy face, and persuaded Ling Xiao and Lingyun to go home, and saw that Ling Xiao loved to eat that crispy abalone snail, as well as the loose gold pine nut candy that he hadn't eaten, and asked him to wrap two paper bags, so he took him home to eat. novel

Ling Xiao is a big ghost, and when he saw that Huaizhen's eyes were red, he took his hand and said, "Auntie, can you also go to see Xiao'er and my brother another day?"

Huaizhen couldn't help but smile and nodded: "You go home, but you also have to be obedient and sensible and take care of your younger brother." ”

Ling Yun only held his sleeves, only looked up at her, if there was a look of anticipation, Huaizhen touched the heads of the two of them, because he liked it very much, he leaned over, kissed them lightly on the cheeks, Fang took one in one hand, and led it out and handed it to Ling Jue.

After all, it was inconvenient for Ling Jue to say more, so he just said goodbye, but hugged Ling Yun, led Ling Xiao, and went out of the house, got into the car at the door, and Ling Xiao hugged his arms: "Second uncle, aunt seems to be unhappy." ”

Ling Jue saw that he could see it, so he asked, "Xiao'er, do you know why?"

Ling Xiao said: "Auntie didn't say it. ”

The carriage was walking along the road, Ling Yun reached out and touched the bag of pine nut candy, Ling Jue saw it, opened it for him, and instructed: "Don't eat the whole piece." Ling Yun nodded obediently, and sure enough, he picked up the loose candy and ate it.

Ling Jue thought to himself, and Ling Xiao said again: "There are also crispy abalone snails here, which were specially bought by my aunt, and the second uncle also eats one." ”

Ling Jue laughed, no wonder Fang just smelled a sweet fragrance, Ling Jue said, "Don't you like to eat these sweet things?"

Ling Xiao didn't answer, only laughed, as if he thought of something, very proud.

In an instant, he returned to Ling's mansion, and Ling Jue personally sent the two children back to the inner house, Lin * greeted him, and asked if it was noisy, Ling Jue said: "It's more obedient than at home." After a few words, he went away.

In the evening, when Ling Jingshen returned to the house, a girl said: "The second master instructed, if the uncle comes back, please go to the study to meet you." ”

When the depth of field heard this, he didn't go back to the room at the moment, but only turned to the study first.

Sure enough, under the light, Ling Jue was reading a book, and when he saw the candle flickering, he raised his head.

Jing Shen stepped forward, sat down on the chair at the table, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter with calling me here?"

Ling Jue put down the book and said, "I've actually been thinking about this for a while, but I haven't mentioned it...... It's time to talk about that. ”

Jing Shen saw that he said solemnly, so he paid attention, but listened to Ling Jue and said: "Brother, let's split up the family." ”

Ling Jingshen heard this at first glance, and his color changed slightly: "You ......" frowned, and asked, "Is it your sister-in-law......

Ling Jue hurriedly stopped him and said: "This matter has nothing to do with others, not to mention that my sister-in-law is very good, speaking of which, my brother should also be more sympathetic to her, after all, with Ling Xiao and Lingyun, why always be angry with her." ”

Jing Shen raised his eyebrows, and when he was about to say something else, he remembered his words, so he only asked: "In this case, why do you want to split up the family for no reason?

Ling Jue smiled faintly and said, "Our family is living for others to see? What's more, my brother and I have been good since we were children, and although we have both started our own families, I still have the same brother in my heart as before, and I haven't changed at all. My brother should also understand my heart, I want to split up, not to have a relationship with you, but to ......"

Ling Jingshen locked his eyebrows and stared at Ling Jue, vaguely understanding in his heart. Sure enough, Ling Jue said: "My brother has always been filial, and I know it, but my brother is not alone now, even if he doesn't think about his sister-in-law, he also thinks about Xiao'er Yun'er." ”

The depth of the field was silent for a moment, and then lowered his head: "Mrs. may not be willing to agree......"

Ling Jue said: "Mrs., I'll talk about it." Brother rest assured. ”

There was silence in the study for a while, and the depth of field looked up at Ling Jue, but he sighed lightly, raised his hand and stroked his eyebrows, although he was full of reluctance, it can be said from the heart, what Ling Jue said was very reasonable.

Ling Jue saw that the depth of field was silent, so he smiled again and said: "Brother, why bother like this, it's just a separation, it's not a separation between the north and the south." I've already thought about it, my brother doesn't have to move out for the time being, just separate a few yards, and I won't let my sister-in-law interfere in the affairs of this house, and I won't have to worry about it. ”

Jing Shencai smiled bitterly: "Then who will take over? You don't talk to the princess like that, even if you get along well with the princess, you can't be called the princess director, do you still have to let the wife worry about it?"

Ling Jue said: "It's okay to let my wife go, lest she always pick and choose." In the past few years, my sister-in-law has been busy enough, and she usually doesn't even have enough time to accompany Xiao'er Yun'er, if she separates, it will naturally be good for Xiao'er Yun'er. ”

Jing Shen sighed and said, "I'll just go back and talk to your sister-in-law." ”

Ling Jue nodded, and suddenly asked again: "Yes, brother, there is something else, Tang Shangshu is really going to Zhehai?"

Seeing him mention this matter, Jing Shen was silent for a while, and then said: "I told you about the things that the Japanese woman did carefully, before she died, she said that there will be wind and rain on the sea in the near future, which is naturally a coercion...... It was only because the Japanese craftsmen also knew that the situation was urgent, so they wanted to wreak havoc, but it was a pity that they set up such a net of heaven and earth, but they were still allowed to slip away from the leader, but they were afraid that they would soon come back, and then it would not be the same as before. ”

Ling Jue pondered the sentence "wind and rain on the sea" in his heart, his heart sank slightly, and he stared and said: "I heard my teacher say, Tang Shangshu blames Huaizhen?"

Ling Jingshen said: "I wasn't there at the time, and I didn't know, but I felt that he was only afraid that he was not blaming Huaizhen, and if he wanted to blame seriously, he should blame himself more." ”

Ling Jue said: "I look at him probably can't let go, otherwise, with his temperament, how can he ignore Huaizhen for so many days, can he really say that it will be broken?"

When Ling Jingshen heard this, he smiled slightly, looked at Ling Jue with his eyes, and said, "This is also ...... It's not a bad thing. ”

Ling Jue frowned and said, "What did my brother say?"

Ling Jingshen is indifferent, and he never cares about the love of his children, even if he made such a fuss about rouge a few days ago, in fact, he is just a thought of the old love and pity and can't bear to be in the wilderness.

It's just that he is clever by nature and a bystander, and he understands Tang Yi and Ling Jue very clearly.

Ling Jingshen said: "I have the best with him since childhood, although it is not kind to say this at the moment, but it is rare for him to have such a time of turmoil, but it is a pity that Huaizhen girl is now the county lord, otherwise ......" Jing Shen did not continue, just looked at Ling Jue with a smile.

Ling definitely looked at him, immediately understood, and said, "What is my brother talking about again?" ”

Jing Shen didn't mention it, but asked again: "Just now you advised me to be considerate to your sister-in-law, but tonight the princess is resting in the palace again, and seeing that she is about to give birth, what do you want?"

Ling Jue said lightly: "It's up to her to go." I begged her to come back, but I couldn't. ”

Jing Shen pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "Let me say, you might as well discuss with the princess Haosheng and let her agree to take a few concubines for you, it is better than living alone for nine out of ten days like now." ”

Ling Jue snorted: "I'm idle like this. So saying, he picked up the book again and looked at it with his eyes down.

Seeing that he was no longer speechless, Jing Shen sighed, got up and said, "I'll go back to my room." Ling Jue didn't make a sound, the depth of field only took a step, and suddenly thought of something, so he turned around and said, "If Mrs. doesn't agree...... You don't have to force it. ”

Ling Jue said without looking back: "I have my own measure. ”

Ling Jingshen returned to the room, and saw Ling Xiao Lingyun playing in the room, Lin * leaning on the side of the bed, in a daze, and saw him come back, so he got up to greet him.

The depth of field said what Ling Jue said, and said it to *.

When Lin * heard this, he was surprised and a little stunned, so he asked Jing Shen: "Have you agreed?"

Ling Jingshen glanced at her and said thoughtfully: "I didn't want to, but if you think about it, it's better to separate, lest something really big happen." ”

* As soon as his heart jumped, he lowered his head, and Ling Jingshen smiled: "I only think that Xiao Jue is a person who doesn't know anything...... I'm afraid he knows more than I do, it's just up to him. ”

That night, the two husbands and wives slept together, slept until midnight,* saw that Jingshen was asleep, so he quietly got up, took a light step to the back room, opened the cabinet drawer, took out a tight paper bag, put it in his eyes for a long time, and then moved out.

Vaguely heard the depth of field coughing, * suddenly stood on his feet, his face turned pale in the night, only to hear the depth of field vaguely turned over, and did not make a sound.

* Suspenseful, not daring to slack off, hurried out the door, saw the night watchmen outside napping, * hurried to the back of the house, then tore the paper bag, and threw it under the flowers.

After a qiē was in order, he returned to the house, put his hands and feet on the bed, and then lay down, and asked in a deep voice, "Where are you going now?"

* The atmosphere didn't dare to make a sound, staring straight at the depth of field, but in the blurred shadow, I only saw his eyes, which were slightly cool in the night,* and said: "I couldn't sleep for a while, so I went out to breathe." ”

The depth of field said "oh", and he didn't say anything, * slowly let out a breath, and fell down again.

On this day, there was an autumn rain, and it was cool, but there was a rare guest in the mansion of King Xian, but it was Mu Ningxuan, who bought the palace beauty Jin Hai with a lot of money in the past.

Huai Zhen didn't know, but after Mu Ningxuan went, the virtuous king Zhao Lanfeng came to the back house, and said with a smile: "Zhen'er, there are good things for you." ”

Huaizhen turned his head to look at him: "What good thing?"

The maids behind him stepped forward, put a few trays on the table, looked at it with their hearts, and suddenly smelled a strange aroma, and couldn't help but say: "What kind of smell is this, but there is some woody fragrance......"

Zhao Lanfeng smiled: "I can't hide it from you, you can take a look." ”

The two fathers and daughters walked to the table, Zhao Lanfeng opened a box, but saw that on the pale yellow satin inside, there was a string of warbler green Qi Nan wood incense strings neatly placed, Huai Zhen picked it up and said with a smile: "No wonder it's sweet, it turned out to be it." ”

Zhao Lanfeng said: "This is nothing, there are rare ones." ”

Huaizhen was surprised, and hurriedly put down the bracelet. At this moment, Zhao Lanfeng opened a box again, but inside was a long-necked Hetian jade Ruyi carved jade vase, and the stopper was actually a goose-yellow skewer. When Huai Zhen saw it, he said: "Oh, this is the royal offering." ”

Zhao Lanfeng said: "Seriously, yes, it's the rose water that Manraga paid tribute to." ”

Huai Zhen had intended to make the flower dew before, but it was very difficult, but now when he saw this foreign tribute dew, he was overjoyed and said, "Dad, show it to me." ”

At that moment, Zhao Lanfeng handed the jade bottle to Huaizhen, went to the sign, pulled the stopper, and before he moved, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance coming to his nose, which refreshed his heart and spleen, making people forget his worries for a while, Huaizhen lowered his eyes and looked carefully, the dew in it was clear, and it was very gratifying.

Huai Zhen asked, "Dad, where did you get all this?"

Zhao Lanfeng was relieved when she saw her happy, and said with a smile: "I didn't get it, someone specially sent it, you put this down first, there are still things." As he spoke, he opened a box again, but inside it was a boxy jade box, and if he didn't look carefully, he thought it was just a piece of square jade.

Zhao Lanfeng took out the box and handed it to Huai Zhendao: "I heard that this is something that ordinary people can't bear, so you just go back and fiddle with it yourself." ”

Who knew that Huaizhen couldn't wait, so she had to open it to see, who knew that her hands were small, and this box had some ingenuity to open, and she was busy urging her father, Zhao Lanfeng saw that she was so eager, so she took it, after all, she opened it, but she saw that it was like a pale pink cream, so she opened it, and there was another aroma of nasal rushing, although it smelled like it was fragrant, but it had a slight aftertaste, but it was a little bitter and astringent, not a good smell.

Zhao Lanfeng took a step back and said with a smile: "Sure enough, we can't afford it." ”

Huai Zhenyin had never seen or smelled this thing, so he asked, "Dad, what kind of incense is this?"

Zhao Lanfeng nodded and said, "You really don't know, this is from the West, called beaver incense, have you heard of it?"

Huaizhen lost his voice and said, "So this is beaver incense?"

It turns out that Huaizhen because of the fragrance, naturally knows that in addition to all kinds of flowers and plants in the world, there are also animal fragrances, especially four of them, that is, musk, ambergris, civet incense and beaver incense, these things, are incense, and medicine.

Among them, the first three, Huai Zhen has seen, the first two are often used, only this kind of beaver incense, but it is not common, although I have been worried about it, but because I am not in a hurry to use it, so I only think about it, I didn't expect to get it unexpectedly at this moment.

Huai Zhen was amazed and delighted when he saw these many things, so he asked where he got them.

Zhao Lanfeng said: "This was all sent by Mu Ning Xuanmu's shopkeeper, and he came to visit just now, so he sent these things...... This Qi Nan wood bracelet is for your mother, and there is a string of southern red agate bracelet for your sister-in-law, and the other two spices will be specially given to you. ”

Huai Zhen became more and more surprised, and only stared. Zhao Lanfeng said: "I didn't want to accept it, but these things, although they are rare, fortunately they are not that expensive things, I thought that you must also like them, and he was sincere, so I accepted them." ”

This Mu Ningxuan is worthy of being a person who travels all over the world, he has his own mind and knowledge, and he also knows how to do what he likes, if he gives something worth a thousand gold, Zhao Lanfeng is only afraid that he will not take it in his eyes, let alone accept it, but he only takes these rare small objects as a gift for a hand-in-hand meeting, which is very appropriate.

Zhao Lanfeng said again: "The shopkeeper Mu is a very knowledgeable person, do you know? He has also been to Manchuria, Sulu and other countries from the sea, so he can get these two kinds of incense, listening to him talk about those overseas scenery, it makes people yearn for it." ”

Huaizhen listened in a daze, not knowing that it was sent by Mu Ningxuan, but once he knew, he remembered the sentence that Tang Yi had said for no reason: "That person is not a good person, but the most ......."

These words flashed through his mind, Huaizhen shook his head, and said, "Dad, thank you so much?"

Zhao Lanfeng said: "Don't worry, you just take it and play with it, listen to him, there are still a lot of things to play with, if you like it, ask him for it another day." ”

Huai Zhencai couldn't help but smile and said: "It's not a parent, dad can't be like this." ”

Zhao Lanfeng just wanted her to be happy, and he naturally had a sense of proportion in his heart, so he raised his hand and touched her head, and said, "Dad knows it." ”

The father and daughter were talking, and a maid from outside came to report and said, "The Tang Mansion has sent someone." ”

When Zhao Lanfeng heard this, he glanced at Huaizhen and said, "I'll take a look." ”

Huai Zhen thought that most of them were sent by Mrs. Tang, but I didn't know what was going on, so I asked the maid to collect the incense strings and agate bracelets and send them to Li Xianshu.

She put away the rose water and beaver incense herself, thinking that with these, the fragrance must be more effective in the future, and she secretly liked it.

After a short while, Zhao Lanfeng came back, but he was also holding a box in his hand, looking at Huaizhen and said: "It's strange to say, the people from the Tang Mansion specially sent this over, saying that it was ordered by Tang Yi, I don't know what it means?"

Huaizhen didn't want it to be him, so he stayed for a while before asking, "What is it?"

Zhao Lanfeng smiled and said, "You can see it yourself." As he spoke, he put down the box and glanced at Huaizhen, but he didn't do anything in the end, just what she meant.

Huaizhen looked at the box silently, looked at it for a long time, couldn't see the clue, and finally twisted his eyebrows, and said lightly: "What is there to see, what to send for no reason? ”

Zhao Lanfeng listened, sneered, and said, "I did something bad?" With that, he walked away.

At this moment, there was no one in the house, Huai really hesitated, and saw the nurse coming with Xiao Jin'er in her arms, and said with a smile: "Brother woke up, and he didn't follow it." ”

Huaizhen was busy and took Xiao Jin'er over, and the nurse said again: "I have already eaten milk." Seeing that Huaizhen's expression was different, he quietly retreated.

Xiao Jin'er has grown up very fast recently, and the person has sunk, and she is a little tired after holding it for a long time, so Huaizhen hugged him, leaned on the table and sat down, who knew that she coaxed a sentence, Xiao Jin'er looked left and right, and suddenly saw the box on the table, her eyes lit up, and she stretched out her little hand and grabbed it.

Huai Zhen was about to stop it, but it was a step too late, Xiao Jin'er raised her hand and bumped it, the box was not locked, and she suddenly flipped back, only to hear a slight sound, but saw two small old silver bracelets coming out of the box.

Huai Zhen looked at it with wide eyes, but saw Xiao Jin'er babbling a few times, leaned over to struggle, and grabbed a silver bracelet violently, holding it in the palm of his hand and waving it proudly.

The two of them were in a daze, one playing, and suddenly heard Li Xianshu's laughter outside, and entered the door while laughing, and said to Huaizhen: "What do you say, it's obviously your birthday is coming, I still want to keep quiet, just secretly prepare something good for you, why did you send me something instead?"

Huaizhen heard the word "birthday" and looked at the silver bracelet again...... Immediately understood.
