Chapter 91: Benefactor
The temporarily rented carriage was not big, Lin Bining and Bai Yi were sitting in a staggered position facing each other, her left foot could touch his right foot. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info She glanced and saw that Bai Yi's shoes were made of moon-white brocade, with silver silk threads embroidered with flowing clouds and dark patterns,
Lin Bining moved to the side without a trace, a finger's distance between her dark shoes and Bai Yiyue's white shoes, pursed her lips and cast her eyes on the string of sugar gourds in Bai Yi's hand, and said, "You still hold it." ”
Bai Yi chuckled: "It's just me and you here, you can eat with confidence." As he spoke, he stretched his hand forward and handed the sugar gourd to Lin Bining.
"Thank you." After all, he had only licked a few bites before, and he hadn't really eaten the hawthorn inside, so Lin Bining took the sugar gourd after thanking him, opened his mouth and took a bite.
Bai Yi has been clothed and fed since he was a child, except for the earlier days in the barracks, he is also very particular about food, he is afraid that it will not be clean, and he has never eaten the things sold at the hawker stalls. Seeing Lin Bining biting the sugar gourd with bulging cheeks, he couldn't help but recall the squirrel holding the pine cone he met when he was hunting in the woods, and the satisfied smile in his eyes made him curious about the sugar gourd, hooked the corners of his mouth and asked with a smile: "It seems to be delicious, can Changru let me taste it too?" ”
Lin Bining's chewing action stopped, and a large bag bulged out with a sugar gourd on her left cheek. When she grew up, neither she nor Lin Changru had shared the sugar gourd like this, and immediately wanted to refuse, but she was afraid that this was a very common thing in the relationship between men and men, and if she refused, it would be a big fuss. Caught in a dilemma, her brow furrowed slightly.
Bai Yi looked at her distressed, laughed lightly, and was no longer embarrassed considerately: "I'm talking about playing, you eat, I won't rob you." ”
Lin Bining pulled the corners of his mouth at him when he heard this, and decided to speed up and solve the sugar gourd, so as not to ask Bai Yi another headache.
Seeing that Lin Bining finished eating a string of sugar gourds like a hungry tiger, Bai Yi's slender and pure fingers pointed at the corners of her mouth, and she pursed her lips with a smile and said, "Here, there are sugar stains." ”
Lin Bining hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped it, feeling extremely embarrassed, and lowered her head to ignore the smile in the other party's eyes.
After Bai Yi sent Lin Bining to the Lin Mansion, he rode back to the palace, and when he saw him coming back, he hurriedly greeted him: "Master, you can count it back, the princess has sent someone to ask you seven times today, and asked you to go to Ninghua Garden as soon as you come back." ”
Bai Yi thought he was asking about the portrait, rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, drank a cup of tea, and finally changed his clothes and left. After Bai Yi saluted Prince Zhong and asked for peace, he didn't wait for her to ask out loud, so he wanted to speak: "Mother, a lifelong event is related to the happiness of your son's life, you always have to give me some time to think about it, how can I be so anxious to choose someone!" ”
Prince Zhong glanced at him lightly, and said with dissatisfaction: "I didn't look for you for this, what important things did you have today, and you even forgot what day February 14 was?" ”
Hearing Prince Zhong mention it, Bai Yi suddenly remembered that today was a special day, and he was disturbed by the Spring Festival party and portraits recently, and he forgot that today was February 14th.
Bai Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "It's my son who is not good, I forgot." ”
"Let's go to the incense hall and put incense on the pillar."
Bai Yi followed Prince Zhong to the small incense hall in the east, the incense hall was simply furnished, I don't know if it was plain and elegant, and there were fresh flowers on the table. Bai Yi lit three sticks of incense and bowed respectfully a few times, and then inserted them into the Sanding amphora incense burner. In fact, what is enshrined in this incense hall is neither a Bodhisattva nor a Buddha statue, but a portrait, a portrait of a beautiful woman.
The woman in the painting is about twenty-eight years old, with a beautiful and lovely appearance, a small goose egg face, and delicate facial features, especially the big apricot eyes, like a twinkling star in the night, very bright. Dressed in a blue shirt, the green silk sleeves fluttering, smart and elegant, with a blooming lotus flower under his feet, it really looks like a lotus fairy coming in steps.
This woman is not a god of flowers, but Bai Yi's savior.
On February 14 of the nineteenth year of Yongrui, because of an awkward quarrel with Prince Zhong, Prince Zhong dragged her five-month-old body and took a maid to enjoy the peach blossoms in Zhuangzi in the suburbs. I didn't want to meet the Assassins on the way, because I was in a hurry and didn't bring many people with me, so I couldn't defeat the Assassins who came prepared. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people left, the princess was frightened and frightened, clutching her stomach against the wall of the car in despair, and the assassin's sword was about to stab her body.
At this critical moment of life and death, a woman in blue flew to save them. Not only did he help them repel the assassins, but he also gave the princess a life-saving elixir. It turned out that Prince Zhong was nearly forty years old before she conceived this child, and her pregnancy was already unstable at an advanced age, and she was too frightened at that time, so there were already signs of turning red. If it weren't for the medicine given by this woman, I'm afraid there would be no Bai Yi today.
By the time Prince Chung arrived, the woman had long since disappeared and left no name. Prince Zhong was very grateful for this woman's life-saving and child-saving grace, and spent a lot of money to hire Lu Bigu, the holy hand of Danqing at that time, to paint a portrait of the woman in blue clothes, and posted notices on the streets and alleys to find her benefactor. It's a pity that this benefactor has never been found. After visiting to no avail, Prince Zhong opened a single incense hall in Ninghua Garden to enshrine the portrait of a woman, and offered incense, candles and fresh fruits. And on February 14 every year, the princess will take Bai Yi to offer incense to her benefactor to thank her for her kindness that day.
After the incense was put on and out of the incense hall, Prince Zhong remembered something and said: "There is not much incense in the incense hall, and the shop that used to supply incense to the house was closed half a month ago." When the housekeeper came in the morning, he also mentioned it, and wanted to ask if you still did it according to the previous one, or did you change it? ”
Bai Yi doesn't like sandalwood, and the fragrance used for incense is mostly sandalwood, so the incense used in the worship of Prince Zhong's mansion is specially made by someone, and the agarwood has always been used before.
When he mentioned Xiang Baiyi, he thought of Lin Bining, thought for a while and said with a shallow smile: "Let the housekeeper find the Lin family's incense shop to do it, and you don't have to press the previous one, just say that the taste should be more elegant, let them make the finished product and let me try it first, and then order it at their home after they are satisfied." ”
"The Lin family?" A little familiar, Prince Zhong thought about it, and said with a smile, "I couldn't sleep well a few days ago, and your second sister sent me a box of incense after she found out, what is it called Mengmian incense, it seems to be made by this Lin family." Not to mention, the fragrance smells very pleasant, the effect is very significant, and you can get a good night's sleep after lighting it at night. ”
"Their family is fine. But mother, you didn't sleep well at night, why didn't you tell your son, did you ever ask for a doctor? ”
Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong glanced at him and said coldly: "It's still for your marriage." ”
Hearing this, Bai Yi smiled wryly and didn't dare to answer again.
