Chapter 33
Min Li said: "If my brother doesn't want to, no one can bring it bad, if he really wants to learn badly, 10,000 bad people are not as good as him!" After finishing speaking, he pursed his lips and smiled, and turned back to Lin ** and said: "Since my brother is back, you don't have to stay here with me anymore, go and talk about your own thoughts!"
Lin ** blushed a little for no reason, and said to himself: "Who is waiting for him on purpose? If you don't go, you will be annoyed by you." ”
Min Li smiled and said: "Amitabha, you still spare me, I have suffered from your noise for a long time, now please go and bother others." ”
Lin ** glanced at Xiao Tang and saw that he was looking at the pot of begonias, so he said angrily: "That's it, you brothers and sisters are all the same kind of driving people, I'll just go." ”
Min Liluo bowed slightly and said, "My sister wants to leave, so I won't send it." ”
Lin ** snorted slightly, and sure enough, she raised her feet and went out, Minli turned around, and saw Xiao Tang looking at the begonia flowers thoughtfully, so she said, "Can I not send it, brother, don't you send it too?"
Xiao Tang turned around and saw that Lin ** had already gone out, so he said to Min Li: "Okay, I'll go back first, and I'll talk to you another day." ”
Min Li smiled lightly, seeing that the corners of his eyes were a little tired, she couldn't help but whisper again: "Although Sister Hui said a lot of stubborn words, brother, you really have to pay more attention to yourself...... Don't say anything else, don't drink too much wine, it's your own body that hurts. ”
Xiao Tang nodded and smiled: "Got it, you rest early." ”
At this moment, Lin **'s voice came from outside, and he said through the window: "How many times can the two brothers and sisters talk endlessly, and now they are still driving people out and secretly saying it?"
Min Li smiled and pushed Xiao Tang: "Brother, go quickly, I can't afford to mess with her." ”
Xiao Tang was noncommittal, went out with a smile, and sure enough, he saw Lin ** standing by the door from a distance, looked back at him, and deliberately turned around to look away.
As soon as the night breeze blew, the wine in his chest churned slightly, Xiao Tang raised his hand to support the corner of his forehead, rubbed it slightly, and then stepped forward with his hand and said, "Aren't you leaving?" Standing here are you really waiting for me to send it?"
Lin ** saw that there was no one left and right, so he smiled and said: "Lord Sicheng, you are becoming more and more noble now, and you asked me to wait for a long time, but you can't wait in vain!"
Xiao Tang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then what do you want?"
Lin ** said: "Let's not talk about it yet, and go to your study." ”
Xiao Tang smiled bitterly: "At this time, it's already so late, why don't you change the day?"
Lin ** stomped his feet and said: "I still waited for a long time to catch you, who knows what the situation will be another day? Don't you want to escape, come with me!"
Xiao Tang hurriedly raised his arm and stepped aside, and said, "Okay, just go, just don't pull, you forgot what I nagged before?"
Lin ** pouted and spat at him: "Who pulled you!
The two of them walked in the direction of the study, and the maid of Lin ** behind them followed four or five steps apart.
After a short time, the study had arrived, Xiao Tang pushed the door open, and made a "please" gesture to Lin **.
Lin ** smiled at him and jumped in.
Xiao Tang opened both doors, and when he saw that the maid was also following, he stood at the door, and then stepped inside, and said, "Tell me quickly, what is Tete coming for?"
Lin ** looked at his desktop, looked back and said with a smile: "I heard that there is a good book in the market recently, but I am at home, and it is not convenient to find it...... I can't hide anything from my father's eyes, so I came to beg you, can you find it for me?"
Xiao Tang was surprised and asked, "What kind of good book? Since it is a good book, why do you hide it from your teacher? Just ask someone to go out and buy it!"
Lin ** covered his mouth and smiled for a while, and said: "You are smart and smart, how clumsy you are different from ordinary people, that book naturally can't be seen by my father, you know his temperament, and he will inevitably scold me again......! If you meet someone who has no knowledge, you don't know what to talk behind your back! You walk around all day long, haven't you heard of it? That's called ......?" he said, and he came closer and whispered.
Xiao Tang frowned, and said: "It turned out to be this kind of idle book, a good girl's family, what are you doing with this, and where did you hear it......?
Lin ** said angrily: "You are verbose again, are you looking for it or not? Don't you despise it when you hear it, I heard people say that this book is excellent, and the rhetoric and stories are first-class...... I want to enjoy and play. ”
Xiao Tang talked for a long time with a sense of wine, and couldn't help but get more and more tired, so he walked to the chair and sat down, and then said: "What are you playing? You are already a stubborn temperament now, if you look at those casual talks again, I don't know what it looks like...... Besides, if you let your teacher know that you found the book from me, then what should I say?"
Lin ** frowned and pouted, and said unhappily: "You always shirk in every way, can't you do this little thing for me?" What's more, I don't believe that you don't read that book...... If you can't wait to finish reading it a long time ago, save it, wait for me to find it!"
Lin ** said, and went to the bookshelf to look around.
Xiao Tang smiled dumbly, and didn't care, watched her sweep around, and said: "I really don't have one here, and your efforts are in vain if you look through......"
Speaking of this, I suddenly saw Lin ** looking at something and muttered to himself: "What is this?"
Xiao Tang's eyes moved, and he hurriedly shouted: "Don't move that!"
Hearing this, Lin ** looked back at him, tilted his head and smiled: "Hey, it's rare for you to be so anxious...... What kind of good thing is this? You can't even show it?"
Xiao Tang looked at her smile like that, and knew that it was not good, and when he wanted to stop it again, Lin ** stretched out his hand and said, "I want to take a look! If you have any handle in my hand, then I will ask you to do something in the future, and you will not be able to shirk it!"
Lin ** was puzzled in his heart, and glanced at Xiao Tang again before slowly opening it.
Xiao Tang saw that she had already arrived, and he also knew her temper, if he fought with her, she would definitely be even more unforgiving, so he had to give up, and only said with a smile: "What can it be?" ”
Lin ** had already opened the bag, flicked his fingers twice, and said suspiciously: "Why is this? This is ...... A child's things?" saw her fingers slender, and pinched out two small and delicate silver bracelets from the inside, the size was extremely small, and it could be seen that they were children's objects.
Xiao Tang said lightly: "What, have you found my handle?" got up and walked to Lin **'s side, raised his hand and took it, tightened the mouth of the bag again, and caged it into his sleeve.
Lin ** asked suspiciously: "It's really a child's thing, what are you doing with this thing for no reason, and who is it for?"
Xiao Tang saw that she was asking endlessly, and had a slight headache, so he said, "It was originally for people...... If you go back and ask your teacher, you will know that he was also there at the time. ”
Lin ** rolled his eyes and said, "Why should I ask again, you just tell me no?"
Xiao Tang sighed, so he had to say patiently: "It's no one else, it's the daughter of Yingzhi County that you just told Min Li about, she is only four years old, and I met her with my teacher in that county government a few years ago for her birthday, which was originally for her." ”
Lin ** suddenly realized and said with a smile: "You have a heart...... But since it's a gift to someone, why didn't they give it out and take it back?
Xiao Tang smiled bitterly when he heard this, and his eyes couldn't help but appear when he was really in front of him...... Then he said, "Don't you like it?"
Lin ** nodded and sighed: "How do you know what the little girl likes? But even if she doesn't like it, then you should know that the county should stay, how can there be any reason to turn away the gifts given by the guests? ”
Xiao Tang had a little smile in his eyes, and said: "It's not the meaning of Ying Zhi County, it's Xiao Huaizhen's ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly felt that he had no reason to talk to Lin ** in more detail, so he stopped, and only said: "In short, that kid is also a little eccentric, it's just childish, you don't have to ask...... You've been here for a long time, it's getting late, it's time to go back. ”
Lin ** snorted: "I'm impatient if I can't say two words to you, it's you, if anyone else dares to do this to me, I will never see him again in my life!"
At this time, Xiao Tang's maid came to deliver tea, Xiao Tang was thirsty, took a sip of it, and invited Lin ** to eat tea.
Lin ** said: "Brother Yi, you don't have to be so obvious, serve tea and send guests, you can't do it in a hurry!
Xiao Tang said: "It's a good intention to invite you to eat tea...... As for that book, you still have no thoughts, and I won't do anything to anger my teacher. ”
Lin ** stomped his foot again in annoyance, and said, "What are you afraid of?
Xiao Tang smiled: "If you don't say it, the teacher can't detect it?" Even if he asks me, can I hide it?"
Seeing that there was no hope, Lin ** sighed heavily and said, "That's it, even if I begged the wrong person in vain, don't worry...... If you don't look for me, will others be as hard-hearted as you? I will naturally go to the person who is willing to find me. ”
Xiao Tang was a little strange when he heard this, so he looked at her, Lin ** didn't say anything, and only smiled: "Look at you, you're a little drunk, or rest early, I'll go back." ”
Xiao Tang got up to send him off, and Lin ** sighed again: "I also heard what Min Li told you, so I won't be long-winded with you, you yourself have a number of horizontal and vertical numbers, don't bring damage to any miscellaneous people." ”
Xiao Tang said: "Do you say depth of field again? Where did he provoke you, you always hate him like a black-eyed chicken." ”
Lin ** frowned and said, "Who hates him, it's just that person...... I don't like it at first glance, and I have a disgusting smell on it. ”
Xiao Tang couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
Lin glanced at him, walked to the door, suddenly stopped, turned back to Xiao Tang and said, "Brother Yi, just ...... It's a shame that you said that girl was only four years old, and if she was ten years older, I would be jealous!"
Xiao Tang was stunned: "What?"
Lin ** said with a smile: "Just now you mentioned that child, your eyes were full of smiles, what other gifts did you give her, apart from me and Sister Minli, which girl have you ever given a gift?
She smiled proudly, glanced at Xiao Tang, covered her mouth and turned around, and her maid hurriedly followed.
Xiao Tang was relieved to see that Lin ** was finally gone, and when he turned around, he heard a dingdong sound in his sleeve, he stood up and took out the bag from his sleeve.
Xiao Tang stared at it in a daze, and couldn't help but think of what Lin Shenzhou had said to him when he left Taizhou City that day.
At that time, he said goodbye to Ying Lanfeng's father and daughter, and Lin Shenzhou had not yet opened the scroll with poems, so Lin Shenzhou said to Xiao Tang: "What did you do to agree to the 'future covenant' that the child said?"
Xiao Tang was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Xiao Huai is really innocent, and she is a very unique child, when I see her like that, I don't know why I want to agree to her in my heart." ”
Lin Shenzhou smiled and said, "Then have you ever thought about it...... If it wasn't Xiao Huaizhen's own request, someone instructed her to do it...... Isn't it possible to use it as a condition for blackmailing you in the future?"
The two looked at each other, and for a moment Xiao Tang hesitated and said, "How could the teacher say that......?" It was felt that Ying Lanfeng was hiding treachery and using Xiao Huaizhen...... However...... "Thinking of Ying Huaizhen's situation when he looked up at him that night, he couldn't believe that the prayer in those bright eyes was actually caused by someone else's instructions."
Lin Shenzhou said softly: "Don't worry, although I say this, I am just warning you...... At that time, I had already seen everyone's reactions, and Ying Lanfeng and Li Xianshu were also very surprised, and they were by no means pretending, so what Xiao Huaizhen said should indeed be her own idea, but I can't guess why this kid actually asks you like that......"
Xiao Tang also recalled the situation at that time carefully, remembering that when he raised his hand to give the bracelet, Ying Lanfeng and Li Xianshu were both full of shock, and kept urging Ying Huaizhen to take it quickly...... There is indeed no possibility of falsification, so I can rest assured.
Hearing Lin Shenzhou say this, Xiao Tang pondered: "It's the first time I've met such a peculiar child, and sometimes...... I don't think she's just a child. ”
Lin Shenzhou smiled but said nothing.
Xiao Tang pinched the bracelet and looked at it for a long time, and finally put it in again, this time in the drawer next to his desk.
At this moment, the night was dark outside, and Xiao Tang suddenly thought: "According to the itinerary, it is time for Ying Lanfeng's family to arrive in Beijing today...... Now that more than half a year has passed, I don't know what Xiao Huaizhen is like. ”
Xiao Tang silently came out of his mind for a while, and finally sighed softly, and said in his heart: "It's a pity that I can't go to visit immediately...... My teacher specially told me not to meet Ying Lanfeng for the time being, and asked me to send Liang Jiu and them to protect them secretly...... Who is it against Lan Feng? Is it really just King Su?"
Xiao Tang thought about it, and became more and more sleepy, so he got up and went back to the room, just thinking about going back to Dali Temple early tomorrow, presumably Liang Jiu and Zhang Min had also returned, just listen to their report first.
Xiao Tang returned to the room, and when he fell asleep, he suddenly thought again: "Why did Xiao Huaizhen propose such an 'agreement' to me, and I don't know if she will remember this matter, and if there is really a day when the contract will be fulfilled in the future...... What is the situation?" I thought about it, and before I knew it, I fell asleep.
Xiao Tang slept until midnight, and suddenly heard a slight knock on the door, Xiao Tang turned over and sat up, and shouted, "Who?"
The little guy outside the door said softly: "Young master, Liang Jiuye is outside the door, saying that he has something important to see." ”
Xiao Tang put on his clothes and went to the ground and said, "Please let him in." ”
In an instant, Liang Jiu brought it and arched his hand: "Liang Jiu has seen Sicheng!"
Xiao Tang said lightly: "Why did you come here at night?"
The little guy in the house knew that the two had something to discuss, so they avoided it a long time ago. Liang Jiu lowered his voice and said, "Si Cheng once said that if there is no urgent matter, you are not allowed to enter the house to disturb, and I also ask Si Cheng to forgive me for my rash crime, because my subordinates have discovered an extremely serious matter and have to make an exception to come." ”
Xiao Tang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "What's the matter?"
Liang Jiu said in a deep voice: "It's related to Ying Lanfeng's family!"
