Lin Wenliang and Wen Shancong talked very speculatively with each other, and did not return to the Lin Mansion until the sun set. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Wen Shancong is the doorman of Prince Zhong's mansion, his name is Wende, because he is very familiar with him, Lin Wenliang called him his cousin. Speaking of the acquaintance of the two, it is still because of the incense.

Wende likes incense, and you love the fragrance of the Lin family.

On the winter solstice of last year, the Lin family launched a new snow plum fragrance, the fragrance is quiet and cold, and it has the charm of plum blossoms Ling Han blooming alone. There are many people who read books, most of them like bamboo and love plums, and Wende is one of the best. He has never forgotten this fragrance since he smelled it from a friend, but because Xuemei Xiang has been very popular with readers since the beginning of its sale, it has been in short supply, and he has not bought it after many trips.

One day, I went to the Lin family incense shop again and asked if it was still not, Wende couldn't help but sigh again and again, so I didn't regret it. It happened that Lin Wenliang was checking the accounts in the store that day, and saw that this person was wearing a muslin robe, full of book fragrance, and his gestures had his own merry, and he suddenly had a good feeling and invited him to the teahouse to taste tea. Wende has always been casual and loves to make friends, so he was invited to go without even asking his name.

The two talked about the tea in the teahouse about their favorite books on weekdays, and although they didn't know each other's names, they talked happily. After a long time, Lin Wenliang remembered to ask him why he sighed in the incense shop. Wende said that he liked the Lin family's new snow plum fragrance very much, but he couldn't buy it all the time. Lin Wenliang laughed when he heard this, saying that what is so difficult about this, he can give him a box tomorrow.

Wende is a smart person, seeing that Lin Wenliang was extremely confident in saying this, and thinking that he met in the Lin family's incense shop, he guessed a few points, and when he asked, it was really Lin Wenliang, and he was overjoyed. Lin Wenliang faithfully sent the incense on the second day, and Wende wanted to give him the money and confiscate it, saying that he should give it to a friend. Winder saw that he was a good man, and the two of them often went back and forth after that.

Last time Lin Bining was sick, Wen De found out and invited the imperial doctor with the name card given to him by Prince Zhong to cure Lin Bining, and Lin Wenliang has always been very grateful. Today, he brought several new incense sticks that he had specially made to thank Winder. The two had similar interests, and they forgot the time while chatting, and they didn't disperse until the sun went down.

Lin Wenliang returned to Xiang Zhixuan and saw Zhao's mother Wan waiting at the door, and couldn't help asking, "You are not by your wife's side, why are you here?" ”

Mother Wan saluted and replied: "Mrs. said that she had something to find the master, and the master has not come back and is waiting here." ”

Lin Wenliang drank a lot of wine in the afternoon, although he was not drunk, he was dizzy, and he held his forehead and said, "What can I say?" ”

Mother Wan shook her head: "I didn't say it, I think it matters." ”

Lin Wenliang drank the wine and wanted to rest, but thinking that the Zhao family had always known the sense of proportion, there might be something important, so he ordered: "Go back and tell your wife, I will change my clothes and go over." ”

Mother Wan answered and went back to her life.

Lin Wenliang has always served as a servant since he came to the capital, and after he asked Chen Bo to take a bath for him, he changed into a homely black muslin cloth, and did not ask anyone to follow him to Tingyuxuan alone.

Zhao was waiting in the hall early, and saw Lin Wenliang coming from a distance, and there was no one waiting for him, so he hurriedly led a group of people to greet him, took his hand, slanted his eyes and said: "The master is more and more like a child, and he doesn't ask people to follow him after drinking." It's so dark, what if you can't see the road clearly and bump into it? ”

Lin Wenliang smiled and patted her hand: "Don't worry, this little wine is nothing, I know it in my heart." ”

Zhao knew that men hated women being verbose, so he pursed his lips and smiled: "Yes, yes, the master has the best amount of wine." ”

While speaking, Zhao pulled Lin Wenliang to the hall, and saw that the large round table in the middle was full of dishes, including crispy and sweet squirrel mandarin fish, braised lion's head with attractive color, crispy and delicious double lettuce, refreshing and appetizing boiled dried shreds, salty and delicious pickled tuxian, all of which he loved to eat.

Lin Wenliang was really a little hungry after drinking wine all afternoon, and when he sat down to prepare for dinner, Zhao smiled and said: "Don't be busy eating, sir, first drink a bowl of hot decanting soup to warm your stomach," raised his hand and asked the waiter to bring the soup up, blinked and said slightly playfully, "I haven't cooked for a long time, and I don't know if the craftsmanship is unfamiliar, so the master is not allowed to dislike it." ”

learned from Mother Wan that Lin Wenliang had drunk wine, and Zhao immediately prepared a sobering soup.

Since becoming married, the Zhao family has always been gentle and virtuous, and how long has it been since I saw her so playful and lively, Lin Wenliang sighed for a while.

Speaking from the heart, the Zhao family has always said that the Lin family is well organized, filial piety to his mother, and help him raise sons and daughters, even if some things are not done right, but in the end he owes the Zhao family a lot.

Thinking like this, Lin Wen felt guilty in his conscience, and his voice became much softer: "Your craftsmanship has always been not bad. ”

After a while, a bowl of soup bottomed out, and the kung fu on Zhao's board was really good, Lin Wenliang praised: "Ruyue's craftsmanship is getting more and more sophisticated, and it can be compared to the chef of Shanshizhai." "Ruyue is Zhao's maiden name.

The chef of Shanshizhai retired from the imperial dining room, how dare she compare her cooking skills with others, Zhao's self-knowledge is still a little, knowing that this is just Lin Wenliang's joke, but there is also a hint of sweetness in her heart.

Zhao pursed his lips and smiled a little shyly: "Don't make fun of me, this word will be laughed to death." ”

Lin Wenliang smiled and didn't answer, and began to eat. The rules of the Lin family are silent, and the Zhao family also eats quietly with them, and from time to time they give Lin Wenliang vegetables, Lin Wenliang eats all the dishes she picks, and also gives Zhao a piece of fish. The two of them hadn't eaten together so peacefully for a few days, and they were both a little happy in their hearts.

After the meal, the maid brought tea to Lin Wenliang to rinse his mouth, he turned his head to spit out water and saw a blue and white entwined lotus vase on the high table in the corner, several bowl-sized peonies in the bottle, blooming extremely brilliantly, and couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect the newly planted white jade peony to bloom so well, and your vase is also elegant, and this flower seems to complement each other." ”

Hearing this, Zhao smiled and said, "I didn't choose this flower, sir, guess what?" ”

Lin Wenliang looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, and after thinking for a while, he said uncertainly: "I remember that there are also vases with blue and white entwined branches." ”

Zhao continued: "It's not just sent by Ning Yatou, I don't know how her hand is long, so dexterous, I like this flower very much." The master also has it in his own study, but you are not allowed to rob it with me. ”

Lin Wenliang has always loved Lin Bining, and Zhao's praise made him laugh like honor, and when he heard the last sentence, he asked incomprehensibly: "I also have my study?" ”

"I don't know? I heard the maid say that Ning Yatou sent flowers to everyone, and Wen Yatou sent them herself. The sisterly relationship is still just as good. It can be seen that the previous incident was just a play between children, and it should be nothing. Zhao mentioned Lin Biwen as if inadvertently, and then looked at Lin Wenliang carefully.

Lin Wenliang thought that he would only take a bath when he returned to Xiang Zhixuan and came to listen to Yuxuan, it should be too late for the next person to tell him.

Lin Wenliang was in a good mood at the moment, and when he heard Lin Biwen, he didn't move, and said calmly: "Ruyue, you blame me for being too ruthless." ”

"How could I blame the master! It's all because I'm not good, I didn't teach Wen girl well, so she will do things without seriousness. Zhao shook his head gently, tears silently crossed his cheeks, pear blossoms were as delicate as rain, "It's just that the child is the meat that fell from the mother's body after all, and when I think of her not eating well and sleeping well, my heart is as uncomfortable as a knife." ”

Lin Wenliang sighed, walked over to wipe away the tears on Zhao's face, and gently held her in his arms.

Seeing this, the waiter hurriedly lowered his head and led the maids out quickly.

Lin Wenliang patted Zhao's back and asked, "What's the matter, didn't Miss Wen eat well?" ”

Zhao raised his head from his arms, wiped the wet clothes on his chest embarrassedly, and then said in a worried tone: "I heard that the kitchen said that the food sent only moved a few bites, saying that Wen Yatou had no appetite for food, and I thought I was reflecting on my regrets." ”

Seeing that Lin Wenliang's face was as usual, she cautiously continued: "The master's original intention was to let Wen Yatou know that her mistakes can be changed, and now she has also reflected on it, and the purpose of the master's grounding has also been achieved." Besides, Miss Wen is still young after all, so the master will teach her slowly in the future. ”

There are also children messing around, Lin Biwen is Lin Wenliang's daughter after all, he believes that she is delicate and willful, but if there is really any bad heart, then he doesn't believe it.

Hearing that Lin Biwen didn't think about tea and dinner, Lin Wenliang's heart softened, and he worried: "It's the time to grow your body, how can you do without eating!" I'll go see her tomorrow. ”

Although Lin Wenliang didn't say it explicitly, Zhao knew that this was the meaning of the promise.

She felt a little more relaxed when one thing was done, and she didn't forget that there was one more important thing.

Zhao gently pulled the little finger of Lin Wenliang's right hand with one hand, stroked his sideburns with one hand, raised his apricot eyes, moist and moist eyes like stars in the sky, looked at him shyly and timidly, and said softly: "It's dark and the road is difficult, so the master will stay today." ”

finally felt ashamed of the Zhao family in his heart, Lin Wenliang couldn't bear to refuse, and nodded in agreement.
