The rain continued to rain for more than an hour.

Xiao Yan sat on the soft couch, and when he listened to Xiao Yiqing's reply, his expression was still very good, gentle and graceful.

After Xiao Yiqing left, he immediately turned into a man full of ripples, turned his eyes to look out the window, and the originally hazy scene became clear and cute.

It seems that there is a clear and bright stream flowing in Xiao Yan's heart, it is not that there has been no woman who has shown love to him, but none of them are as smart and dazzling as Lin Long, with thousands of twists and turns, and the momentum is huge, and he has tried his best for him.

No matter how mature Xiao Yan is, no matter how high his IQ is, and how thoroughly he understands people's hearts, he is only a young man in his early 20s.

How could he not be moved when he encountered such a grand pursuit as light as shining all over the earth and vast as a midnight starry sky.

Against the backdrop of Lin Long, the women who admired him all looked small and boring.

The embroidered letterhead is flattering or something, it's just weak.

Plopping and plopping, her heart was beating a little fast, and Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly flashed in front of her eyes The silver chain on the girl's head decorated with different flowers was so delicate and cute, so different.

He had never seen such a lovely headdress.

Xiao Yan's face turned red, red like a sunset.

He didn't know what he was thinking, the corners of his mouth turned up, and his eyes were curved like crescent moons, full of sparkling waves.

――

After more than an hour, the rain stopped, and it was muddy outside, making it difficult to walk.

Soon after the rain stopped, Li Jialangjun returned home, and Beizhuang had a male host, and they were at ease with each other. Lin Dalang discussed with the main family and wanted to borrow it for one night.

Li Langjun is a wealthy family in the county near Beijing, and he often travels in Beijing, and knows a little about some nobles in Beijing. Hearing that Lin Dalang is the Langjun of the Lin family, and Lin Long is the third lady of the Lin family, his face suddenly became enthusiastic.

The merchants ushered in the send-off, with exquisite thoughts and sleek means. Li Langjun was interested in welcoming him again, and after a while, Lin Dalang became acquainted, and it was not lively to talk and laugh.

Hu Shi is a virtuous woman, careful and thoughtful, preparing meals, all according to Lin Long's preferences and tastes after asking the next person. The application is all new, and I am afraid of snubbing the guests.

An autumn rain and a cold, after a rain, the evening breeze was cold, Lilac shrunk her shoulders and closed the window, turned back to look at Lin Long: "Lady, are you cold?" ”

Lin Long shook her head, she practiced internal skills every day, although the days were short, but she was single-minded and firm, with a high level of understanding, and she had already achieved a small success.

When my legs weren't good, I closed my eyes and meditated, but now that I can walk, I practice with the movements. If the body is well maintained, and the internal strength is practiced, the resistance is strong, and it is not afraid of the cold.

At this moment, Lin Long was playing with a puppet, turning the tail of the puppet in the style of a little monkey, and the little monkey jumped up and down, so lively.

The girl's eyebrows and eyes are beautiful, her expression is serious, and she is obviously a childish action, but when she does it, there are some famous people who have fallen into the style.

Lilac closed the window, turned to Lin Long's side, and played with her puppet.

The master and servant were in high spirits, when they suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, Lilac got up to open the door, and saw Hu standing at the door with a gentle smile.

"It turned out to be Mrs. Hu." The smile on Lilac's face is just right, polite and kind.

Hu Shi had a touch of concern on his face: "I'm bothered, I see that the weather is a little cold, and I'm worried that the third lady will be cold, so I want to send an extra quilt over." ”

"There's Mrs. Law." Lilac turned sideways to invite Hu Shi in, swept behind Hu Shi without a trace, and found that Peng Le did not follow, and the smile on his face suddenly brightened a lot.

Lilac didn't like that Peng Le, and her eyes were always defensive and vigilant, like a thief, as if they were going to eat Hu's.

Hu came over this time, not only to send a quilt, but also to bring a delicate sachet, mainly to make amends for Peng Le's rudeness during the day.

"What kind of incense is this?" Lin Long rarely came to be a little interested, she has always disliked fragrance, her clothes never smoke incense, and she does not wear sachets. But the fragrance of this sachet brought by Hu is very special, elegant and distant, and the smell is refreshing.

Seeing that Lin Long liked it, Hu was very happy, but there was a hint of shyness in his expression: "This is my own spice, if the third lady likes it, I will write down the recipe." ”

Lin Long raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

For example, such flavors and eating recipes are generally family treasures, and they are not lightly passed on. It's not like the 21st century, when books are generally in the hands of families.

Although the Li family is a small business, it has also been in business for several generations, and it is not surprising that there are some good things.

Seeing Lin Long's surprise, Hu Shi was very embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "This recipe is not tight, it is not a rare thing, but it is just a little girl's idle and boring plaything." ”

"Madame likes to spice up?" Lin Long asked.

When it comes to his hobbies, Hu Shi is interested, and he talks a lot about his perception of perfumery, and creates a lot of good-smelling incense.

She doesn't hide it privately, and when she talks about the specific recipe, she doesn't hide it about what ingredients are used and how many ingredients are used. And explained that when she chatted with a few handkerchiefs on weekdays, she also talked about spices, and these recipes were not secret, and many people in the neighborhood used them.

It can be seen that Hu really likes perfumery, and he is very talented in this area, even Lin Long has to admit that the fragrance she created is unique and elegant.

However, Lin Long didn't like to take advantage of others, and after getting other people's recipes, he gave back two of the Hu family.

"Does the third lady also like to make perfumes?" When he met like-minded people, Hu was obviously very happy.

Lin Long did know how to make fragrances, but he didn't like it, so he said, "I understand a little." ”

"The three ladies are modest." Hu smiled.

She knows a lot about perfumery, although Lin Long doesn't say much, but what she says is focused everywhere, and even mentions her many shortcomings.

Sure enough, she is the daughter of a family, but it is different.

Hu's eyes showed a touch of admiration and admiration.

It was not early, and Hu was worried about disturbing Lin Long's rest, so after chatting for a while, he took the initiative to leave.

After Hu left, Lilac came over and looked at Lin Long curiously: "The lady still mixes fragrance?" ”

"A little dabbling."

"I feel like a lady can do anything." Lilac sighed.

Lin Long pursed her lips and laughed at herself, in her previous life, she was arrogant, although she was not interested in these embroidery and fragrances, but she refused to be underestimated, and she also worked hard.

Now that I think about it, I feel that it is not interesting, and everything I learn is forced by mundane things, and it is too uninteresting to look at it in the unexpected world.

It's not as enjoyable as playing with puppets.

Therefore, in this life, no matter what she does, she must come from her heart.

The heart moves freely, cheerful and wanton.

Lilac made the bed, and Lin Long slept until dawn.

In the morning, I drank some porridge and used some snacks, and then I said goodbye to Hu.

Hu was a little reluctant to Lin Long, and gave her a lot of self-made sachets, and all kinds of aromas were mixed together without feeling smoky, but mixed into a new fragrance, which was very special.

Lin Long once again lamented Hu's talent in perfumery.

Leaving from the Hu family, Lin Long put on a hat, after all, the Li family has a foreign man, and she is engaged to be married, so she needs to be cautious.

Li Langjun and the Hu family have been sending Lin Long and others to the gate, Peng Le is also there, she is wearing a moon-white skirt, and the whole person is so elegant that she looks like a new lotus in the water.

Lin Long nodded to a few people, and then held Lilac's hand and wanted to get into the carriage, but as soon as he lifted his foot, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Lilac turned to look at her and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" Wife. ”

Lin Long let go of her hand and walked to the front horse.

When Mama Lu saw it, she hurriedly blocked in front of Lin Long to protect her, anxious: "Don't be a lady, be careful that the horse hurts you." ”

"It's okay." Lin Long glanced at her.

Somehow, it was obviously a faint glance, but Mama Lu's heart was tight, and she subconsciously wanted to surrender.

She silently stepped aside.

Lin Long walked to the horse, sniffed slightly, turned his head and asked the coachman, "Have you changed the forage?" ”

The coachman was puzzled by Lin Long's movements, and when he heard Lin Long ask, he was surprised in his heart, this third lady's nose was really good, "Hui Niangzi, this is alfalfa, the horse's favorite mile." ”

Lin Dalang, who was talking to Li Langjun not far away, obviously also saw Lin Long's movements, he hesitated for a moment, and walked towards Lin Long: "Third sister, why don't you get in the car?" ”

Lin Long turned around and bowed to Lin Dalang, then raised his head, and looked straight at him with two bays of water: "Brother Hall, Sanniang didn't rest well last night, and her head was a little dizzy, can you replace the carriage with a more stable ox cart." ”

"Cow?" Lin Dalang was stunned.

Lin Long's request was not difficult, but an ox cart mixed with a team of carriages was always a little weird. is about to arrive in Beijing, and such a convoy will definitely be laughed at when it enters the city.

And how slow the ox cart is!

Yesterday it was delayed for a day, and if it is delayed again today, the family must be worried, thinking that something happened on the road.

"I want to ride in an ox cart." Lin Long repeated it again, his tone firm.

Lilac glanced at Lin Long quietly, a little strange about the willfulness of the lady today. This kind of nonsense is the first time the lady has done it.

Could it be that she is about to arrive in Beijing, and the lady is nervous, so she wants to take an ox cart and slow down the trip?

Mama Lu was also very puzzled by Lin Long's actions, in her opinion, Lin Long was a very intelligent and knowledgeable lady. And this kind of behavior of not giving a reason and having to change the ox cart can only be done by a drooping child.

Lin Dalang was ashamed of Lin Long, but he couldn't resist her, and finally agreed to change the ox cart.

Peng Le, who witnessed this scene, sneered in her heart, others didn't know why Lin Sanniang had to change the ox cart, she knew it in her heart. Isn't it just that I'm about to arrive at my house, and I'm worried in my heart, and I want to do something to test my brother's attitude, and at the same time, it's also to show my subordinates and show my identity.

Boring and naïve, Peng Le looked down on Lin Long's actions very much.

Temporarily changing the ox cart, there is no place to find cattle, and there are no cattle on the Li family's village.

In the end, I couldn't do anything, so I went to a nearby village to buy a bulky cow and came back, I heard that it was a certain age, and all the teeth were lost. Walking, one step and three slow steps, all slow out of a certain realm.

In this way, I was able to get to Jingshi in two hours, but after walking for three hours, I didn't see the shadow of Jingshi.

Sitting in the slow ox cart, Lilac glanced at the subordinate who walked faster than her through the curtain, and his face was very entangled: "Lady, why do you want to take the ox cart?" ”

"Because, I smell the spicy?"

"Huh?" Lilac didn't understand.

Lin Long glanced at her and explained in a clear voice: "Cattle and horses take fine puncture, and then smell choking smoke, they are easy to be manic. ”

Lilac heard the danger in it, and her eyes widened: "Lady, you mean ......"

Lin Long glanced at her and said lightly: "Don't worry, maybe I smelled it wrong, after all, I smelled a lot of sachets before, and it is normal for my nose to make a mistake for a while." ”

Lilac twitched the corners of her mouth and didn't speak.

Heart, lady, you are really calm.

Two miles ahead, a group of people estimated the itinerary, and an hour ago, the prepared hay was lit, the grass was very dry, and with the blessing of the wind, after a while, the smoke was billowing out.

The smoke kept billowing for an hour, and I didn't even see the shadow of the Lin family's carriage, but the hay had burned out.

"it!" The leader was so angry that he kicked a thin man in gray, and couldn't help but roar: "What about people, what about people, didn't you say that you can get there in a while, your house will be an hour?" ”

The man in gray was also very aggrieved, he obviously found out that the Lin family's convoy had set off before the hour, and he should have arrived at the speed.

"Get out, go up to the side and be wronged." The leader kicked again, "Wait until I find out the situation and return to the master, and then cut you." ”

With a wave of his hand, the leader gathered the people and ran in the opposite direction of the Jingshi.

After walking a few steps, he met the Lin family's convoy, and the leader waved his hand again, and the four or five people who had originally gathered in one place instantly divided and hid.

The leader and the man in gray hid in one place, and at the moment they were staring intently at the convoy, and after staring for a while, they realized that something was wrong.

, why are you walking so slowly, are you climbing?

"Look at the bullock cart?" The man in gray pointed forward.

The leader looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw the old ox walking three steps at a time, which had difficulty walking on its own, and was pulling a heavy cart.

it! The leader really wants to scold people, this Lin family is stupid, so many horses are idle there, and they actually found an old scalper.

Neurotic bar!

The Lin family's convoy passed slowly, and the leader sighed, feeling sad in his heart.

Master, it's not that his subordinates are unfavorable, it's really that the enemy is too stupid.
