Chapter Ninety-Three: Enlightenment
As soon as Bai Yi heard Lin Bining's words, he couldn't help but pause when he played with the folding fan, it turned out that this matter fell on the other party. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but who is the spoiled and pampered noble son who just said in the words, no matter how it sounds, he looks like a spoiled gentleman, he is obviously a mature and stable person.
Bai Yi coughed dryly and said, "As far as I know, the elegant and calm person of Prince Zhong's son should prefer the taste of elegance. ”
Lin Bining put down the teacup, raised her eyes and looked at the other party suspiciously, and asked, "Yun Xian, how do you know who the prince is?" ”
Bai Yixin said that the one standing in front of you is the main one, he doesn't know what he likes.
Of course, he couldn't say this to Lin Bining, he smiled shallowly, and said a little embarrassedly: "I have relatives who work in the palace." "My father is in charge of the entire palace, and it is true that there are relatives working in the palace, and he is telling the truth.
Seeing that he was not very willing to mention this, Lin Bining thought that Bai Yi's relatives might just be subordinates in the palace, although Bai Yi was gentle and easy to get along with, she knew that the other party must be a proud person in her bones. Having relatives who are slaves in other people's mansions, whether it is in the palace or how high the position is, it is not a glorious thing for a proud person, so Lin Bining did not ask.
"Elegant taste? Did your relatives say what kind of incense the prince likes? ”
"I didn't say that." Bai Yi shook his head, contemplated for a while, looked at her sincerely, and persuaded, "Changru, let go of what incense you want to do, don't worry too much about other people's preferences." It is necessary to know that it is too late, blindly catering to and losing the original intention and intention of making incense, and no matter how good the fragrance is, it lacks charm. ”
Bai Yi will never forget Lin Bining's bright eyes when talking about incense in the courtyard where the warm sun shines, and the elegant movements and confident smile when the other party smokes incense in the quiet incense room, he can really feel her love for incense.
This is a person who seeks to know what he wants, unlike him, who is not confused, but does not know what he really wants. yearns for idle clouds and wild cranes, but can't abandon family responsibilities, and doesn't want to be false and wronged in the officialdom. Reading a lot of books is just to pass the time, playing the piano and chess is just to relieve boredom. Sometimes having too much, too easy to get, can lead to disorientation and not knowing what you want.
Maybe it's for these reasons, Bai Yi doesn't want to see Lin Bining distressed and hesitant, she should be confident and decisive,
Hearing Bai Yi's words, Lin Bining was shocked, and she lowered her neck and frowned into deep thought.
Since her father put her in charge of Buddha incense, she has been worrying about what Prince Zhong likes and how she can make incense that the other party accepts, not what kind of Buddha incense she wants to make so that Prince Zhong can accept and like it. Maybe it's because this is making Buddha incense for Prince Zhong's mansion, or maybe it's because this is the first task her father has assigned, she is so eager to do this thing well, and she even puts the cart before the horse.
After figuring it out, Lin Bining raised her head, looked at Bai Yi with bright eyes, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a big arc: "A word to wake up the dreamer, thank you, Yun Xian." When Prince Hezhong's Mansion completes this business, I will invite you to dinner. ”
Seeing that the other party was smiling brightly, Bai Yi also hooked the corners of his mouth: "Okay, Changru will have to break the bill when the time comes." ”
In the next two days, Lin Bining has been thinking about what kind of Buddha incense to do, as a token connecting the worshippers and the worshippers, its taste must not be frivolous, if you only pursue elegance and fear that the fragrance is thin, you also need to be stable and solemn.
Lin Bining remembered that when she copied Buddhist scriptures and meditated before, she saw a sentence in the "Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes Guanyin Bodhisattva's vast perfection without hindrance to the Dharani Sutra of Great Compassion": "This Guanyin Bodhisattva's mantra is true, if you want to invite this Bodhisattva to come, the mantra is clumsy and burns Luo Xiang three or seven times, and the Bodhisattva will come." The clumsy incense mentioned here is benzoin, which is regarded by the world as the incense to ward off evil spirits, and it is also a common incense in Buddhist scriptures, and it is very suitable to make Buddha incense.
It is easy to steal the flavor when the amount of benzoin is too much, and Lin Bining only added a little, which not only retains its aroma but also plays a role in aggregating other fragrances. This time, the incense Fang Lin Bining is based on lotus fragrance, and the lotus flower is not stained out of mud, which has a solemn beauty and is fresh and elegant. In addition to this, she added agarwood and dipterocarp. Because it is unlucky to break the incense when the incense is applied, in order to help burn, the oily pine wood incense is added.
After Lin Bi condensed a few incense sticks, Lin Wenliang smelled it and thought it was good, so he sent it to Prince Zhong's mansion and handed it over to Steward Lei. The next day, Steward Lei personally went to the Lin Mansion and told the prince that he was very satisfied with the incense, and that the Buddha incense of the palace would be handed over to the Lin family in the future. Hearing the news, Lin Bining's hanging heart finally fell, and Lin Wenliang smiled and praised and encouraged. Lin Bining's efforts and dedication were recognized, and the sense of satisfaction filled her heart little by little, and she really wanted to share the happiness of the moment with others.
Lin Bining thought of the meal she had promised Bai Yi before, summoned Qing Miao, and ordered with a smile: "Send someone to invite Bai Gongzi, and say that I will invite him to dinner." ”
Qing Miao responded, walked a few steps and came back, "Young Master, where is Bai Gongzi's mansion?" Where should I send someone? ”
Lin Bining was stunned by Qing Miao's question.
Yes, Bai Yi has always come to Lin Mansion to look for her, and she doesn't know where the other party lives. Although the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, she doesn't care too much about this friend. The correspondence between the two is in vain
Lin Bining waved her hand and said lightly: "Forget it, you don't need to send someone." The tone was no longer as cheerful as it had just been.
For a long time, the correspondence between her and Bai Yi has been the initiative of the other party. Although he was scratched by an arrow and sprained his foot because of the other party, it is fair to say that the other party has helped him many times, returning the jabai tumor to himself, wanting to help him solve the trouble but being stunned by himself with drugs, borrowing books to himself and taking himself to the study.
Lin Bining has always been afraid of her identity as a woman, keeping in mind the great defense of men and women, carefully guarding this secret, and not daring to have more contact with others. But it's hard to live again, it's hard to pretend to be a man, and stick to the house like this, still like when she was in the boudoir, is it really the life she wants?
Because she is a woman, she can't show her head and can't have much contact with outsiders. But now that she is a man, she is free to roam the streets, she can make like-minded friends, and she can get out of the small mansion and experience the wide world outside. As long as she is not discovered, as long as she abides by etiquette when interacting with people, as long as she sits upright, why fear that she will fall into her own reputation!
In these precious three years, Lin Bining wants to feel a different life, so even if she returns to her daughter's life in the future, she will not have any regrets.
