Chapter 123: What are you looking for Lu Wensi?
There is not much rain in Shangdu, even if it rains today, it will clear tomorrow. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info don't want to rain for several days in recent days, dripping and lingering, just like the rain in the south of the Yangtze River in the book.
Bai Yi leaned on the Huanghuali Arhat bed near the window, leaning sideways and looking out, in the courtyard, he held an umbrella and commanded a group of maids to collect rainwater, and the wooden frame three feet high above the ground was full of large and small urns. The wooden frame was made by Bai Yi himself, and the urn was placed on the ground for fear of being stained with mud, and he couldn't bear to let people hold it all the time, so he made this wooden frame.
The autumn water is white and cold, and the plum water is white and sweet. Sweet is a little bit of tea taste, and cold is unique in tea taste. Therefore, the rain of making tea is based on the autumn rain, followed by the plum rain. It's a pity that there is almost no rain in the autumn in Shangdu, so Bai Yi can only retreat to the next best thing, take advantage of the lingering rain to collect more rainwater, store it in the cellar, and use it again every other year.
Bai Yi turned around, and when he was about to drink the tea, Xu Cheng appeared in front of him like a ghost.
"Master, the news you want has been found."
Bai Yi didn't have the slightest expression of surprise, as if he had already known that Xu Cheng would appear, and the ebony horse tooth qin fan knocked on the rosewood girdle table on the Luohan bed, nodded and said, "Say it." ”
"That person's name is Zhao Yicheng, the son of Zhao's long-lost brother, eighteen years old, both parents died, defected to the Lin family in April last year, met Huang Yue in February this year, and began frequent contact in April."
A fatherless and motherless boy intends to befriend the eunuchs in the palace, for what?
Bai Yi held a folding fan in his right hand and tapped the palm of his left hand, which was his usual action when thinking.
The room was very quiet, and the sound of the rain was pouring into my ears, accompanied by the voices of the maids in the courtyard. When the master was thinking, Xu Cheng didn't dare to disturb, and after a while, Bai Yi asked again.
"What's going on with the Lin family lately?"
"This year's tribute incense was originally set for the Lin family, but some time ago, Huang Yuena passed the news to re-elect the Li family."
Bai Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, this Zhao Yicheng is really interesting.
Where are there so many coincidences in the world, the so-called "coincidence" is just a "scheme" carefully designed by people.
"Check this Zhao Yicheng." Bai Yi commanded.
"Yes, sir."
After Xu Cheng left, someone from Yuanxiang Courtyard sent a letter from Lin Bining, to the effect that he wanted to meet him tomorrow, and the time and place were set by him. Bai Yi thought about it, replied to the seal, and decided to meet at Fuyun Tower tomorrow afternoon.
The next day, the weather was still dreary, drizzling, Lin Bining got off the carriage and inevitably got drenched in some rain, Bai Yi saw her hair was covered with a layer of mist, and there were also small raindrops hanging on her eyelashes, showing a bit of delicate beauty.
Bai Yi took out his handkerchief and handed it to her, and scolded her softly: "You're not afraid of the cold, why don't you hold an umbrella, it's not good to get cold in the rain." ”
Staring at the moon-white handkerchief in his knuckled hand, Lin Bi was not connected, nor was he not. The thought of wiping Bai Yi's face or mouth with a handkerchief, the small pimples all over her body rose, and finally she politely rejected his kindness, smiled and took out her own handkerchief, pretending to be casual: "When the rain doesn't stop, you have to use the handkerchief later, I'll just use my own." ”
Bai Yi raised his eyebrows, took back the handkerchief and put it away, and said with a smile: "Hua Chao wanted to take you to eat sugar steamed cheese that day, but it didn't work, you must try it today." ”
"Okay. You are familiar with this teahouse, you can have it. ”
Bai Yi ordered a few more delicious pastries and a pot of tea, looked at Lin Bining and said, "It's a pity that it's raining, otherwise we can go shopping elsewhere." ”
Lin Bining smiled apologetically: "I'm really sorry that I have to ask you for a trip on a rainy day, but I have something very important to ask you." ”
"Since they are friends, they should help each other, and Changru will not see each other when he says this." While speaking, Xiao Er put the refreshments on the table, and when Xiao Er left, Bai Yi picked up the teapot and poured it for her, "What is the important matter?" ”
Lin Bining took a sip of tea, accustomed to drinking black tea with honey, and suddenly frowned slightly uncomfortably when she drank Longjing. Bai Yi saw her frowning, so he said: "There is no good black tea in Fuyunlou, Longjing is not bad, if you are not used to drinking it, I will let people make black tea again." ”
"Longjing is also good." Lin Bining shook her head, pursed her lips and said, "Yun Xian, do you know how to contact Lu Gongzi?" ”
Bai Yi's lips just touched the wall of the cup, and when she heard that she was looking for herself on a rainy day just to contact Lu Wensi, the hand that raised the glass paused, put down the cup directly, and asked casually, "What are you looking for Lu Wensi?" ”
"I can't explain it for a while, it's a very urgent matter."
When he was at the racecourse, the steward said that Xiao Shangshu's son had chartered the racecourse. The person Zhen Wanxin almost offended, if she didn't guess wrong, it should be Xiao Juncheng. And Lu Wensi and Xiao Juncheng are together, and Xiao Juncheng does not pursue Zhen Wanxin in front of him, so he thinks that he should also be the son of an official family. The only powerful person she knew was Lu Wensi, so she wanted to ask him for help.
Bai Yi's eyes closed and opened, and he said embarrassedly: "I haven't seen him since we had dinner together in Shanshizhai last time." As I said before, I don't know where he lives. He was the one who contacted me, and I didn't know how to reach him. I'm sorry I can't help you. ”
Can't find Lu Wensi, can't have a relationship with Huang Ming, so how can she solve this matter!
Lin Bining shook her head in frustration, holding the spoon in her hand and unconsciously stirring the sugar steamed cheese in the bowl,
"What's the important matter, can you tell me, Changru? I have relatives in Prince Zhong's mansion, and my father knows some people before, so maybe he can help you. Bai Yi followed the good path.
Lin Bining thought about it, she didn't know any powerful people, Bai Yi's family used to be the home of the eunuchs, maybe she could really help, so she briefly explained the situation.
Bai Yi's fingers rubbed the golden cloud pattern shallow carved on the fan bone, thought for a while, and said to Lin Bining's eyes with implied expectation: "So, you want to find someone to dredge Huang Ming and let him finalize the matter of paying tribute." ”
Lin Bining nodded: "Well, Yun Xian, do you know anyone who can help me?" ”
"There is someone who can help with this, and with him on the horse, I believe Huang Ming should be able to sell a few thin noodles." Lin Bining's move bypassed Huang Yue, she saw Zhao Yicheng and Huang Yue last time they met, I don't know if she was suspicious of Zhao Yicheng.
Bai Yi asked tentatively, "Huang Yue suddenly changed his mind, can Changru know what the reason is?" ”
Lin Bining pretended not to know, shook his head and said: "My father has inquired for a long time, but he hasn't figured out the reason, probably because the Li family promised him some benefits." ”
"It's also possible that the enemy in the house did it." Bai Yi pretended to guess.
Lin Bining chuckled twice and said: "Yun Xian is really joking, my father has always been kind to others, even if he has never had a grudge with his peers, how can he say that he is an enemy." ”
Bai Yi smiled noncommittally.
Lowering her head, Lin Bining's heart was covered with a layer of sadness.
Zhao Yicheng, what kind of grudge does the Lin family have with you?
