Chapter 79
It turned out that yesterday was Lin **'s birthday, Lin Shenzhou cherished his beloved daughter, and set up a few tables for her every year to celebrate, invite a few acquaintances, and many close friends to congratulate her.
Previously, if Xiao Tang was not in Beijing, if he was, he would naturally come to congratulate her on her birthday, but after waiting for a day yesterday, he didn't see anyone.
Although Lin ** was unhappy in his heart, he thought that he was engaged after all, so why should he care about this little thing, it would be a long time coming.
Plus Minli comforted her in every possible way...... So Lin ** never showed half of her unhappiness, not to mention that because she was engaged to Xiao Tang, there were several times more people coming to celebrate her birthday today than in previous years, and it was more lively than last year when Xiao Tang was not in Beijing.
Lin ** ate a few glasses of wine, got drunk, supported the guests and sent them away, and then went back to the room to rest, walked halfway, was blown by the wind, and suddenly felt some discomfort in his chest, so he held on to the pillar and stopped, and couldn't move a step at the moment, so he waved his hand and asked the little girl to get a cup of hot water to drink.
The maid took the order, and Lin ** stood on the edge of the railing, just when she wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit, she suddenly saw Ling Jingshen coming from the front.
Seeing that it was him, Lin ** hurriedly stood firm, just acting as if he was nothing, and his face was slightly cold. I thought that Ling Jingshen would leave as before, but unexpectedly, I saw him come straight to his side.
Lin ** was surprised and a little panicked, and couldn't help but think that he might do something evil, standing in place at the moment, he couldn't move his fingers, just looked at him coldly.
Ling Jingshen walked up to her, saw her standing stiffly, lowered his eyes, and said, "The girl is happy today, I congratulate the girl." ”
Lin ** secretly raised his eyebrows, not knowing what he wanted, so he snorted coldly: "You...... What do you want to do? Are you going to tease me again?"
Ling Jingshen said: "The girl misunderstood...... In the past, I was too frivolous, and I have been very remorseful recently, so I sincerely apologized to the girl. ”
Lin ** frowned, not knowing what his intentions were, Ling Jingshen took it out of his arms, took out something, and said: "I don't have anything good, this hairpin should be a congratulatory gift to the girl, please forget all the offense and rudeness of Jingshen in the past." As he spoke, he bowed slightly, and respectfully presented the hairpin with both hands.
Lin ** saw that his words were sincere, not like a frivolous trick, and looked at the hairpin again, and suddenly sneered: "What if I don't want it, are you going to give it to Minli again?"
Ling Jingshen was stunned, but he still didn't look up, and only said, "That ...... It was I who carried it with me, but Minli saw it by chance, and I loved it very much, and I wanted to keep it for no use, so I gave it to her, please don't misunderstand the girl. ”
When Lin ** heard this, he was still uncomfortable, and he wanted to say more, but his chest was already churning, and he didn't care about what to say, as soon as he turned around, he leaned over and vomited.
Although Lin ** was rude, he had never been like this in front of people, but he was very ashamed for a while, and he didn't know what to do, but he heard Ling Jingshen say: "It's about eating too much wine and feeling uncomfortable." ”
Lin ** felt a slight warmth on his back, but he reached out and stroked it twice to smooth her down.
Lin ** suddenly couldn't move, and suddenly his eyes flickered, and when he looked carefully, it was Ling Jingshen who handed over a handkerchief, only to hear him say: "If the girl is not dirty, just use this." ”
Lin ** took a breath, glanced back at Ling Jingshen, and saw that his complexion was peaceful, without the slightest dislike or displeasure, nor did he have any frivolous play, so he was slightly relieved, so he took the handkerchief and wiped it slightly.
Although Ling Jingshen had withdrawn his hand, he saw that she couldn't stand still, so he said, "Girl, be careful." "The hand is slightly open, thinking that it is a blessing.
The night wind gusted, and Lin ** smelled a half-familiar smell on him, and the smell was a little faintly bitter.
Lin ** was intoxicated for a while, and thought of the extremely intimate situation when he got along in the past, and couldn't help but look up at him, but saw that in the night, Ling Jingshen's eyes were extremely cold, like stars in the sky on a cold night, with only a little faint glow.
Lin ** looked at it steadily, and suddenly said, "Are you taking pity on me?" Do you know that Brother Yi didn't come today, so he came to show favor to me?"
Ling Jingshen frowned slightly, and said, "Girl Mingjian, I have no such intention. ”
Lin ** bit his lip, tears appeared in his eyes, and said, "Do you really think that this is the case...... Can I forget all that you've done in the past?" looked at Ling Jingshen for a moment, then pushed him hard and ran away with a very fast step.
When Lin ** turned over and over at night, half-asleep and half-awake, she saw the handkerchief that Ling Jingshen gave her on the table, looked at it for a while, thought for a while, shed tears for a while, and finally fell asleep.
The next morning, Lin ** went to ask her father to come back, just when she saw Ling Jingshen passing by, she thought of the situation last night, so she simply stepped forward to stop her, and said, "What you told me last night, is it true or false?"
Ling Jingshen said: "Naturally, it's true. ”
Lin ** looked at his ice-like face, nodded and sighed: "It's okay...... Where's the hairpin from yesterday?" suddenly smiled and said, "Don't give it to Minli again immediately?"
Ling Jingshen also smiled, took out the hairpin from his arms, and offered it with both hands.
Lin ** took it, and saw that it was a crystal white jade hairpin, because the hairpin was hidden in his arms, and when it came to her hand, it was slightly warm, Lin ** couldn't help but clench, raised his head and said to Ling Jingshen: "I like it very much...... Thanks a lot. ”
Ling Jingshen bowed his head slightly and said, "No thanks." ”
Lin ** looked at him for a while, the feeling in his heart was indescribable, and finally he just smiled, turned around and walked away without looking back.
Ling Jingshen looked at her back, saw her take a few steps, and suddenly raised her hand, as if wiping tears...... Ling Jingshen watched silently for a moment before he also lowered his head and slowly walked towards Lin Shenzhou's study.
When Ling Jingshen was about to arrive at the study, he suddenly seemed to hear the sound of talking from the study, so he asked the guard at the door, "Who is there?"
The man said: "Just now, Tang Shilang is here, and he is talking to Lord Lin inside. ”
Ling Jingshen let out an "oh" and asked thoughtfully, "Just here?"
The guard said, "It's only been a short time since I entered." ”
Ling Jingshen thought about it, and also knew that Xiao Tanglai must have something to do with Lin Shenzhou at this moment, and it was inconvenient to disturb him, so he said to the man: "Keep it well." He turned and went somewhere else.
Let's say that Xiao Tang saw Lin Shenzhou, and after saluting, Lin Shenzhou said: "Do you know why I called you?"
Xiao Tang thought to himself that there was such a big battle yesterday, but he was afraid that Lin Shenzhou would have understood, so he said: "But for the sake of my trip to Suwangfu yesterday?"
Lin Shenzhou smiled slightly and said, "If I don't ask about this, won't you say it?"
Xiao Tang said: "Grace Teacher Rongyu, this matter is really too reckless for me, but I have already greeted His Royal Highness King Xi in advance, and I only said that I knew about His Royal Highness King Su from King Xi." ”
Lin Shenzhou said: "You took a lot of pains to risk exposing our eyeliner in the princes' mansion, just for Ying Lanfeng's little daughter?"
Xiao Tang didn't argue, bowed his head and said, "I know it's wrong." ”
Lin Shenzhou said with a smile: "Although you know that you are wrong, if you are still asked to choose again, you may not still be the same." Heard...... Did you kneel down to that gentleman in King Su's mansion?"
Xiao Tang heard that Lin Shenzhou had even heard of this, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while, yesterday he really had no choice, so he just made a desperate bet, thinking that if he could save Ying Huaizhen, what if he knelt down?
Lin Shenzhou saw his silent expression, sighed, and said after a while: "It seems that you really don't know......"
Xiao Tang thought that Lin Shenzhou was going to blame himself, but suddenly he heard that this was a little strange, so he raised his head and asked, "Teacher...... What do you mean by that?"
Lin Shenzhou said: "As far as you know, what is the origin of that Mr. Bamboo?"
Xiao Tang said: "He is a hermit living in seclusion in the southwest, and he has heard that the hexagram is the most accurate, and he can count people's lives and predict good fortune and evil." ”
Lin Shenzhou nodded and said, "King Su took great pains to invite him here, isn't it just to ask him to predict good fortune?"
Xiao Tang pondered: "This ...... I thought about it, but I didn't know anything else. ”
Lin Shenzhou looked at him for a moment, and finally said: "No wonder you don't know, when the eldest prince was canonized as the crown prince, you were still young, so naturally you haven't seen it." ”
Xiao Tang became more and more puzzled, so he said, "Please teach the teacher." ”
Lin Shenzhou walked to the window and looked out, but saw that on the roof in the distance, there was still white snow that had not yet melted, as if the clouds in the sky had fallen on the house, pressing it thinly.
Lin Shenzhou's eyes were deep, with the color of memory, and he looked at it for a long time before he said: "Although you haven't seen it, you should have heard of it, when the eldest prince was canonized as the crown prince, there was one person who contributed the most, do you know who it is?"
Xiao Tang was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "It's the prince's strategist: Mr. Nangong Zhuxuan." ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Tang was suddenly shocked, and he seemed to have figured it out in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.
After Lin Shenzhou heard what he said, he turned around and said, "You are right, it is this Mr. Nangong, who has been absent for 20 years, and now he has returned to the capital, but he is not a person, so there are few old ones." ”
The silence in the room was extremely extreme, and for a moment, Xiao Tang hesitated and said, "Could it be ...... Today's Mr. Zhu is what the teacher said...... That former prince advisor, Mr. Nangong?"
Lin Shenzhou bowed slightly, and only said: "I knew that King Su invited a gentleman into the mansion, but I had to see him in person, but fortunately, there was your sensation yesterday, so I saw him with my own eyes, yes, it is the old man without doubt." ”
Xiao Tang was slightly shocked when he heard this, and quickly recalled all kinds of situations yesterday, but he didn't remember that Lin Shenzhou had appeared...... Where did Lin Shenzhou meet Mr. Zhu?
Lin Shenzhou asked again: "Now that you know his identity, why don't you think about it, does King Su have no idea about his identity, and why did he specially invite him?"
At the same time, in the Ying Gongfu, a voice said: "Master said that after staying on that mountain for more than ten years, it was enough to be bored, so he took me down the mountain to wander around, and I heard that the capital is the most prosperous place in the world, so I came here all the way." ”
The person who spoke was Zhang Ye, the child who followed Mr. Zhu's side.
Zhang Ye said, but heard another delicate and slightly weak voice say: "Your master and apprentice are comfortable and interesting, but why did you go to Suwangfu?"
On a table not far in front of him, Zhang Ye was sitting, bowing his head and fiddling with the medicine on the table, while saying: "It was King Su who sent someone to invite, originally the master was reluctant to come, but King Su gave us a lot of silver, and when the master was happy, he spent money all the way to come." ”
When Ying Huaizhen heard this, he pursed his lips and laughed, and said: "It's annoying Brother Zhang, why don't you put these down, I'll just ask the little girl to clean up." ”
Zhang Ye said: "This can't be done, they can't tell the truth, if they mess up the weight again, won't it hurt you even more, not to mention that the master told me to boil medicine for you with my own hands." ”
Ying Huaizhen listened, nodded slightly, and stopped talking.
Zhang Ye broke open a pill, and suddenly thought of something, so he looked back at Ying Huaizhen and said, "Yes, the exquisite one you gave to Lord Tang earlier...... Ahem, I mean, how did you make that medicine? Is there a prescription?"
Ying Huaizhen was stunned: "What is exquisite...... What a weird name. He smiled and replied, "What's the remedy?" ”
When Zhang Ye heard this, he pushed the medicine in his hand, turned around and stared at her with wide eyes, and said, "You can make the lost incense by playing with it?" Do you know that my master is salivating when he sees that incense? You can also teach me? I will also make him greedy another day!"
When Ying Huaizhen heard these words, he thought and said, "What is there to teach? I am really a joker, at first I was messing around, and I just thought that what was good, so I just put what was together...... Later, Sister Minli told me that Uncle Tang liked the sachet and caught up with him to get engaged, so I wanted to give him this as a congratulatory gift, since it was a congratulatory gift, it was natural to make it decent, so I used a snack, and finally I was a little crazy, I didn't think about anything, I just thought about how to get the incense, and went to pick snow plums in the middle of the night...... Later, I got sick again, and I don't know if they like it or not. ”
When Zhang Ye heard this, he sighed very much, and muttered again: "You are really born with natural ability, but I am afraid that others will not be able to learn it, but this can be regarded as a pearl secretly invested...... It turned out that Zhang Ye felt such a peerless incense and gave it to Xiao Tang, and Xiao Tang did not know it very preciously, so he felt this emotion, and suddenly thought that it was very bad to talk about people like this, so he was silent.
Ying Huaizhen saw him sigh, and said: "Mr. Zhu has a life-saving grace for me, if you master and apprentice like it, I will transfer some to you in the future...... It's just a casual thing, so what's it worth?"
Zhang Ye was overjoyed at first, and then waved his hand and said, "I can't do it!"
Ying Huaizhen asked: "Why can't you do it, is it because you dislike it?"
Zhang Ye said: "Where will you dislike something? It's just ...... My master once said: 'If you do extraordinary things, you will naturally be shocked, and if you can suppress it, it will be immortal, and if you can't suppress it, you will bring disaster to yourself'......"
The latter sentence is what Mr. Zhu said before Ying Huaizhen's sickbed that day, Zhang Ye learned to say, while straightening his face, making Mr. Zhu Suri's appearance and tone, and then smiled again after speaking: "Do you know what this means?"
Ying Huai really seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and the little maid couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile when she saw Zhang Ye pretending to be Mr. Zhu to speak.
Zhang Ye didn't care about fiddling with the medicine anymore, so he only said with his eyebrows fluttering: "Master once told me that in the past, Cangjie made words, the sky rained, the ghosts cried at night, and the dragon hid for it, but do you know why? When Master and I met a man in the south, he built bridges and embankments, and dug rivers and canals, which was very remarkable...... That's what Master said about him. Said he ...... God hates ghosts, haha. ”
When Ying Huaizhen heard this, if he realized something, he was about to ask, but Zhang Ye had already woken up, waved his hand and said: "Don't say it, don't say it, you can't finish these medicines, Master turned around and chattered again, you are not allowed to speak, hurry up and recuperate at ease." ”
Ying Huaizhen listened, so he had to give up, and closed his eyes, but he was still thinking about things in his heart.
After another two days, Ying Huaizhen's body was much better again, and Minli also came to visit, talking about the fact that she forgot to visit her in the previous year, and she couldn't help but feel guilty.
Ying Huaizhen comforted a few more words, and the two kissed and talked for a while, and then Min Li went home.
On the third day, Zhang Ye came to get medicine again, and because the sky was good, the little girl moved the soft rattan recliner out and let Ying Huaizhen bask in the sun.
Ying Huaizhen lay on the bench, covered with a thin silk quilt, and after a while, he felt the heat, so he called to take it off.
Zhang Ye moved the jar to the side, boiled up the medicine, and squatted on the ground with a small pu fan to fan the stove.
Ying Huai really felt that he was pampered here, but Zhang Ye was very busy, so he smiled and said: "Brother Zhang Ye, you just let the girls get it." He asked the little girl Xiu'er to make him new tea to drink.
Zhang Ye said: "I used to serve Mr. on the mountain before, and I was used to it, what is this?" and said: "You also know that my master is uncomfortable if he doesn't make trouble in a day, so it's good that I'm here, and no one makes me angry." ”
Ying Huaizhen smiled again. At this moment, I heard someone outside the courtyard: "Who made someone angry?"
While talking, I saw someone walk out of the door, the first was Ying Pei, and then Chunhui, Ying Huaizhen saw the two, knew that they were here to visit the patient, and they were happy, so they showed a smile, but they were looking at it with a smile, but they saw another person coming out behind Chunhui, although it was under the sun, it was like a ball of clear snow, with a little cold chill, it was Ling Jue.
Ying Huaizhen didn't have time to restrain his smile, so he had to turn his eyes away quietly, only looking at Ying Pei and Chunhui, while trying to get up, but because he was lying down for a while, the rattan chair was soft and tilted, and it was difficult to get up, so he had to call the little girl and said, "Xiu'er, come quickly." ”
At this time, Ying Pei and Chunhui had already walked over, and Ying Pei said, "What are you busy with?" Don't be in a hurry to get up, pay attention to the headache." He personally supported Ying Huaizhen's shoulders and told her to get up slowly.
Chunhui lifted the rattan chair up slightly, asked her to sit more upright, and also advised: "It's better, don't disturb it again, good sister, don't get up, let's all sit and talk." ”
Seeing this, the maid Xiu'er hurriedly moved a few brocade piers inside, sat them down, and served tea.
Ying Huaizhen saw that he was very caring, so he said: "I'm already well, you don't have to treat me as a patient anymore...... What are you doing here, are you looking at me deliberately?" As he spoke, he just looked at Ying Pei and Ying Chunhui at some time.
Chunhui said: "Just because Xiao Jue was also well a few days ago, he heard that you were sick, so he also thought, everyone is free today, so let's take a look." "Just look at Ling Jue when he speaks.
Ying Huaizhen listened, so he had to look at Ling Jue as well, his eyes were opposite, and he finally smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you Ling Gongzi." As he spoke, he lowered his eyelids.
Seeing this, Ling Jue also said: "You're welcome, it's good that Sister Huaizhen has nothing to do." ”
Ying Huaizhen heard a "Sister Huaizhen", although he had been basking under the sun for a long time, he almost shuddered, and his face became more and more faint, and after saying a word, he turned his head to look at Ying Pei, and only asked him how he was studying recently and so on.
Seeing this, Chunhui was afraid that he would snub Ling Jue, so he told him something indiscriminately.
Unexpectedly, Ling Jue watched from the side, although he felt that Ying Huaizhen was no longer like black-eyed chickens when he saw each other as in the past, but the appearance of the greeting just now was a little colder than before, although he was sitting face to face now, it was as if he was thousands of miles apart.
The four of them were talking around, and Zhang Ye next to him was fanning the fire, and he looked at it coldly, seeing that Ying Huaizhen was always alienated and indifferent to Ling Jue, he looked at Ling Jue's cold face, spotless snow-colored clothes, and turned the fan quietly, and suddenly fanned a few times, just when a gust of wind came, and suddenly the wind rolled the smoke, and went straight to Ling Jue's side.
Ling Jue was caught off guard, took a sharp puff of cigarette, and immediately coughed loudly, raised his sleeve to cover his face, and frowned.
Seeing this, Ying Huaizhen was surprised at first, and then looked at Zhang Ye with a little narrow, knowing that he was deliberately playing tricks, so he also smiled and covered his mouth.
At this moment, I suddenly saw Jixiang running in from outside, and said, "Girl, let's see who is coming!"
Ying Huaizhen saw this, and couldn't help but be surprised, Jixiang has now been promoted to a second-class maid, and now in their east courtyard, in addition to Ruyi, there are four new little girls, all four of them are called by Jixiang, Jixiang thinks that he has an "identity", and he must pose as a big girl, and naturally he is not running around like in the past, and now this situation is rare.
Jixiang didn't expect that there were so many people sitting in the courtyard, and they were all young masters, so he finished shouting, and suddenly stopped his steps, and then redressed as a solemn appearance of a second-class maid, stepped forward, greeted each other, and walked to Ying Huaizhen's side.
Ying Huai really wanted to ask her what she was busy with, but she saw a person at the door of the courtyard, and a person appeared in her head, and after a long time, she still had a slightly round face, but she didn't enter the door.
Ying Huaizhen saw it at a glance, almost thought it was wrong, and after a while, he screamed, got up from the rattan chair, ran to the door, and shouted: "Big ingots......"
Zhang Zhen at the door originally looked at it, and suddenly saw the people in the courtyard, couldn't help but be timid, and was reluctant, and took another look, but saw a snow-like beauty sitting in the middle, wearing a brocade white dress, from a distance, it seemed like a cloud falling in the yard, but the eyebrows and eyes were familiar with the past, and it was naturally Ying Huaizhen.
Now that he is old after all, he is more and more afraid to be as reckless as before, and is thinking about whether he should go in to meet, Ying Huaizhen has already rushed over, and the smile on his face is even more dazzling than the sun.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhen laughed, hurriedly moved out, and called: "Sister!" Catching up a few steps, the two held hands, looked at each other, and neither of them was willing to let go.
Behind him, Ying Chunhui and Ying Pei all stood up, because Zhang Zhen had been to the house last time, Chunhui also knew him, so he said to Ling Jue: "This is the Zhang Zhen brother that my sister recognized when she was in Taizhou, and my sister is really good with him." ”
Ling Jue also got up early, and at this moment he forgot to block the cigarette with his sleeve, and only looked at Ying Huaizhen and Zhang Zhen in a daze, looking at Zhang Zhen who was not amazing, and even a little rustic all over his body, but Ying Huaizhen treated each other with such blue eyes.
Ling Jue looked at Ying Huaizhen's clear smile, although he had known her for many years, he had never seen her smile at him so sincerely. Ling Jue was extremely surprised, and couldn't help but think in her heart: "It turns out that she is not inherently cold, but she is just extremely cold to me." ”
