Chapter 124: Things Settled
The night was like ink, the drizzle was like silk, and in the upper room of Songyu Courtyard, only a thin lamp was lit. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the dim light, a slightly hunched figure swayed on the window lattice.
Song'er lingered outside the door for a long time with the porridge, raised her hand and knocked gently, and shouted in a low voice: "Young Master Cousin, I brought food in." Seeing no one respond, she pushed open the door with one hand, rubbed to the table, put the porridge on the table, and handed the spoon over, "Young Master Cousin, you didn't have to eat at night, I made some porridge, you can eat it while it's hot." ā
Zhao Yicheng's face hidden in the dark was difficult to distinguish, and his body did not move.
Song'er was a little aggrieved, and a little embarrassed put the spoon away, and tried to bend her mouth and said, "It's dark in the house, I'll help the young master light another lamp." ā
Just as he was about to light the lamp, Zhao Yicheng suddenly swept the porridge on the table on the ground, accompanied by a "bang" and his gloomy word "roll". The hot porridge splashed on Song'er's feet, and she could feel a burst of warmth through her embroidered shoes.
Zhao Yicheng was polite in front of everyone, Song'er had never seen him like this, and she was so frightened that her tears flowed down. Although she also wanted to leave here immediately, the broken porcelain and porridge on the ground had to be cleaned up, biting her lip tightly, and cleaning it up as quickly as possible.
After waiting for someone to go out, Zhao Yicheng slammed the table with his fist in his hand.
In the morning, when he was in the school, someone said that Huang Gonggong wanted to see him. He made up an excuse to leave the school and went to the place where he was interviewed, and when Gonggong Huang saw him speak, he said: "Yicheng, I'm really sorry, our master intervened in the matter of Gongxiang and chose the Lin family." ā
Zhao Yicheng was stunned when he heard this, and it took a while to find his language: "Father-in-law, it's not up to you to decide this matter, why ......?"
Huang Gonggong took two sips of tea, waved his white fat hand, and complained: "It was the Lin family that Prince Zhong personally mentioned to our master, and you didn't tell our family in advance, the Lin family knows Prince Zhong's son, if you know our family, you won't wade into this troubled water." Prince Zhong, that is a person who is more favored than the prince, not something we can offend. ā
Although his heart turned upside down, Zhao Yicheng knew very well that he was just a small person, not to mention Prince Zhong's son, even Huang Gonggong He couldn't afford to offend, licked his face and apologized to Huang Gonggong, delicious food and drink and served him again.
When Zhao Yicheng returned to Songyu Courtyard, he kept himself locked in the house.
He worked so hard and spent most of his savings in the past few years, but in the end, it was a bamboo basket that was empty, teaching him how not to be angry! How willing!
The day before yesterday, he deliberately revealed the matter of Gongxiang to the Zhao family, saying that he had some friendship with Huang Gonggong, and maybe he could help, so he encouraged her to recommend himself to Lin Wenliang.
The Zhao family taught him a lesson the next day, which probably meant that Lin Wenliang said that the matter of Gongxiang was going well, and there was no problem, so let him spend more time on reading in the future, and don't listen to these rumors.
He thought that before the matter was exhausted, Lin Wenliang couldn't pull his face to ask for help, so he planned to let Huang Gonggong exert pressure again, but he didn't expect that the matter had already been solved by Lin Wenliang.
According to his observations, the Lin family didn't know anyone from Prince Zhong's Mansion at all, so why would Prince Zhong help?
It seems that his plan can only be drawn slowly, and the relationship between Prince Zhong's Mansion and the Lin family must be clarified before planning.
If the Lin family really knew the people from Prince Zhong's Mansion, it would be really a bit troublesome!

Qingyin was carrying a lamp in front, the fire was particularly weak in the wind and rain, Qingmiao held an umbrella on Lin Bining's head, and the group walked from Xiang Zhixuan to Linjiang Xuan.
After dinner, Lin Wenliang called Lin Bining over and told her that Gongxiang's matter was resolved, and Haosheng praised her, and asked her what she said about Prince Dongzhong's help.
Lin Bining didn't expect the matter to be solved so quickly, and she was stunned for a while before telling her father that it was Bai Yi's help.
Lin Wenliang immediately said that he wanted to feast Bai Yi to show his gratitude.
Lin Bining looked at the road under her feet, avoiding the small puddle, and at the same time was distracted thinking about how Bai Yi invited Prince Dongzhong's son, she thought that she was just setting up a line to get to know Huang Ming, who would think that the other party would solve the matter at once.
While he was thinking wildly, there was a faint cry from the small garden, which sounded very panicked on a rainy night. Qingyin's hand trembled, the light swayed, and he took a step back and approached Lin Bining and Qingmiao. Qing Miao was also a little afraid, but thinking that she was the eldest of the three, she forced herself to calm down: "Young master, it seems that someone is crying in the garden." ā
Lin Bining held the hands hanging on both sides, and at this moment, he couldn't show his scared side in front of the maid, cleared his throat, and said calmly: "Let's go over and have a look." ā
Qingyin could only tiptoe forward when she heard this, who told her to carry the lantern, and comforted herself that there were two people behind her, not afraid.
Following the voice, they found the girl crying very sadly in the garden pavilion, Qingmiao recognized the person, and shouted in surprise: "Song'er! It's so late, why are you crying here alone? ā
Song'er cried so much that she forgot herself, only then did she find them, she was startled, she hurriedly wiped her face with her sleeve, and saluted Lin Bining in a panic, and shouted timidly: "Young master." As he spoke, he sneezed.
Lin Bining's good-looking brows frowned slightly, and said, "Come back to Linjiangxuan with me first, and I'll talk about it later." ā
Song'er lowered her head and didn't dare to leave, Qingyin pushed her and said, "Let's go." Then let Song'er hold an umbrella with her and walk in front.
Back in Linjiangxuan, Lin Bining took off the sandals under the eaves, looked back at Song'er's wet clothes and shoes, and ordered: "Qingyin, you take Song'er down to freshen up and get some ginger soup, you all drink some of it, and be careful about the cold." ā
After Qingyin took Song'er down, Qingmiao served Lin Bining to wash and change her clothes, Lin Bining asked her to take the lamp to the high table next to the bed, took a book and flipped it against the bed wall, and said: "Take a walk outside, the clothes are all trendy, you also go down and change your clothes." Song'er doesn't need to bring it over, she doesn't dare to say anything in front of me, you go and ask her why she is crying. The road is slippery and difficult to walk on a rainy night, so let her squeeze with you at night and go back tomorrow morning. ā
"Yes, young master."
After Qing Miao went, Lin Bining flipped through about a dozen pages of the book, and she came back with ginger soup, saying that Song'er hid in the garden and cried because she was scolded by the young master and felt wronged, and said that the young master seemed to be in a bad mood today.
Lin Bining drank the ginger soup while listening, put the bowl on the high table, rubbed her fingers against the side of the book, and her eyes were half down.
Zhao Yicheng is used to pretending to be gentle in front of people, so he can tear off this disguise, thinking about it, it is really very difficult, and what can make him feel bad at this moment, Lin Bining guessed that it must be Gongxiang's business.
Thinking of this, a small smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she whispered to Qing Miao: "In the future, I will often walk around with Song'er, and inquire more about the young master." "Although Song'er has a good relationship with Luomei Courtyard, she is not familiar with Qingmiao Qingyin, and she takes today's opportunity to make them familiar with Song'er.
Qing Miao looked at Lin Bining in confusion, and seeing that she didn't mean to explain, she nodded in response.
