Chapter 102: The Sea Breeze (2)
Lin Chengping arrived at the Zhenbei Army and wrote a letter back to Lin Wan'er, not like the advice and longing in the letter a few years ago, and there was a lot of joy between the words. Returning to a familiar place, Lin Chengping had the feeling that the sky was high and the birds were flying.
It's just that at the end of the letter, there is a question from Zhao Feng's house-eldest sister, brother Qian'er is good, do you think about it again? If you think about it, write to me, and I will write to Shangjing and ask my grandmother to make a match made in heaven for the two of you.
Lin Wan'er couldn't help but snort coldly, folded the letter, threw it in a bunch, and said a few bad things about Zhao Feng behind her back.
Lin Qianyi and Lin Hanlin also sent a letter back in Shangjing, Lin Wan'er felt strange when she opened the letter, usually with these two brothers, talking straight and straight, this letter writing has never happened, and now seeing Lin Qianyi and Lin Hanlin's letter, Lin Wan'er feels sad inexplicably.
What makes Lin Wan'er feel even more strange is the content of the letters between the two, Lin Qianyi has an old-fashioned temperament and abides by etiquette, but the letters he wrote are unexpectedly free and easy, and there is an extremely explicit sentence in it: "In the past, when I was by the side of the eldest sister, the third child could not notice it, but now I am away from home for three months, and I miss the eldest sister day by day. Unfilial piety to the third child. ”
Lin Hanlin is usually uninhibited, his speech is endless, and the letters he writes are unexpectedly regular, without inappropriate words, and his words and sentences are extremely fair, and several allusions are also quoted.
Lin Wan'er flipped through the letter and read it a few times, but she was confused, because she really couldn't understand it. It's like reading classical Chinese before crossing over, chirping, chirping, I don't know what to do.
Thanks to Chen Xiaoxiao by her side, she helped Lin Wan'er interpret word by word.
Lin Wan'er suddenly realized and reproached: "This fourth child is really, just writing a letter, I don't know how to pick some simple words, but I use such blunt and obscure words." ”
But what interests Lin Wan'er the most is that Lin Qianyi and Lin Hanlin met a friend as soon as they entered the capital, and both of them mentioned this person in their letters, this person is also a scholar who entered Beijing to take the exam.
In fact, as the name suggests, there is really a lot of money in the Qian Duo family, and the first time I stayed in the inn, I chartered the entire Tianzi private room, and also provided a month's accommodation for the scholars in each inn. Qian Duoduo's entourage is also very interesting, with white hair and white eyebrows, bent over, and a little yin and yang in his speech.
The most peculiar thing about Qian Duoduo's servant is that he can sleep standing up, and at night, when Qian Duoduo rests in the house, this servant stands outside the door, squinting his eyes and sleeves, and sleeping against the pillar and clothes.
This pair of strange masters and servants lived in the room next door to Lin Qianyi and Lin Hanlin, and on the first day they stayed at the inn, Lin Hanlin read aloud in the room at night, and accidentally quarreled with Qian Duoduo next door, Qian Duoduo was angry and knocked on Lin Hanlin's room door.
Lin Hanlin frowned and opened the door, and asked, "Young Master Qian, what's the matter?" ”
Qian Duoduo pouted his cheeks angrily and said, "You are reading too loudly, which affects this princess...... Ben Gongzi rested. ”
Lin Hanlin apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I'll pay attention." But I muttered in my heart, a big man with puffed cheeks, not cute at all, but a little scary.
Qian Duoduo dragged back to the house.
Lin Hanlin has always followed the instructions of the eldest sister, when he goes out, he can endure it, and if he can't bear it, he must endure it, more things are better than less things, and less things are better than nothing. Lin Hanlin closed the door and began to read the book silently.
After a while, there was a rapid knock on the door again.
Lin Hanlin opened the door, still Qian Duoduo, and asked, "Mr. Qian, is there anything else?" ”
Qian Duoduo still looked angry, just listening to the sound of the guy in front of him reading and feeling upset, and then he was even more upset when he didn't have the sound of reading. Qian Duoduo's elders at home are very spoiled, and they say nothing about it, so they also said confidently in front of Lin Hanlin: "You can't make a sound when you read, I can't sleep." ”
Lin Hanlin exhaled a long breath, told himself in his heart, everyone went out, and said softly: "Young Master Qian, I will speak out when I read." ”
Qian Duoduo nodded, and dragged back to the room.
Lin Hanlin sat back in his seat, opened the book, looked at it fixedly, his heart seemed to be blocked by a wall, and he couldn't read it anymore, and read a few lines out loud, but those words were too eye-catching.
Lin Hanlin slammed the book on the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and before he could hand it to his mouth, there was a knock on the door again.
Lin Hanlin opened the door very reluctantly, and sure enough, there was still a lot of money.
Qian Duoduo asked, "I just felt sleepy, why didn't you read it?" ”
Lin Hanlin laughed angrily, feeling that this Qian Gongzi regarded his reading voice as a lullaby, and said in a somewhat sarcastic tone: "Qian Gongzi, why don't you do this?" You go back to the house and sleep, I stand in front of your door and read, and when you fall asleep, I will come back? ”
Qian Duoduo tilted his head and thought about it, nodded, and said seriously: "It's okay." ”
Lin Hanlin was speechless, scolded "sick" in a low voice, and slammed the door shut.
Qian Duoduo was suddenly furious, as if no one dared to speak to him like this since he was born, this Lin Hanlin dared to scold himself for being "sick", raised his foot and kicked Lin Hanlin's room.
Lin Hanlin had no choice but to open the door, Qian Duoduo pounced on Lin Hanlin with his teeth and claws, Lin Hanlin dodged over, and the two suddenly scuffled together, to be exact, it was Qian Duoduo who fought, and Lin Hanlin fled.
Lin Hanlin couldn't figure it out, what a big deal, as for this? When everyone goes out, they don't take care of each other, but they fight.
Qian Duoduo chased for a long time and didn't catch up, holding his waist with one hand, while pointing at Lin Hanlin, due to shortness of breath, he didn't say anything when he wanted to speak, and he fell straight down the stairs, Lin Hanlin shouted to be careful, stopped his waist and hugged Qian Duoduo, the two of them were like heavenly maidens scattering flowers, turning around twice, and finally Qian Duoduo fell into Lin Hanlin's arms.
Qian Duoduo's face was red, like a red apple that had just ripen in autumn.
Lin Hanlin opened his mouth and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
Qian Duoduo's face turned even redder, and he hurriedly pushed Lin Hanlin away, tidied up his clothes, nodded the index fingers of his hands at each other, and said in a low tone: "It's okay, it's okay." Then he walked back to his room.
Lin Hanlin looked at Qian Duoduo's back, that was a monk who couldn't figure it out, the situation of Shenma?
When the white-eyed and white-bearded man saw this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head, this stupid boy. But he is a subordinate, so he can't say much, and he is not qualified to mention anything about Lin Hanlin.
In the days that followed, Lin Hanlin and Qian Duoduo became acquainted, only to find that although Qian Duoduo was willful, his heart was still good.
Lin Hanlin and Qian Duoduo often quarreled, which became a scenery in the inn. The two seem to have agreed that there will be a small quarrel every day and a big quarrel every other day.
Qian Duoduo couldn't quarrel with Lin Hanlin, and always said to the servant: "Shoot him into meat sauce." ”
Lin Hanlin wondered, a certain non-white-eyed and white-bearded servant is a master who can shoot people into meat sauce, and couldn't help asking: "Can you really make people into meat sauce?" ”
Na Hu smiled "gracefully" and replied: "The little one doesn't have this ability, and he can't make people into meat sauce." ”
Lin Hanlin exhaled a long breath and said, "That's good, if I really can, I'm not meat sauce now, I've already become a thin mud." ”
The man smiled, but there was still a word left unsaid—but it was no problem to shoot people to death.
In the capital, the trivial matters of Lin Qianyi and Lin Hanlin's life were transmitted to Lanzhou through guò letters, and as the exam approached, the letters gradually decreased.
One morning, Lin Wan'er got up from bed in the morning and simply ate some breakfast, and there was only Lin Wan'er on the big table, which was a little empty.
Lao Wu took Cordyceps sinensis to expand the "business empire", if it is free, he can come back before dark, and if he is busy, he will come back late at night.
Chen Xiaoxiao took Dabao to the beach to pick up shells, and originally told Lin Wan'er to go with her last night, but Lin Wan'er felt that she couldn't be a light bulb, so she raised her eyebrows and refused.
Baoyu and Yubao went to study at a private school.
There is only one person in the entire Lin Mansion who is very idle, very idle, and that is Lin Wan'er.
Today's Lin family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and the growth rate is so fast that Lin Wan'er can't even think of it. Now the Lin family has a lot of maids, doormen, and housekeepers, and they are busy in the Lin Mansion all day long.
Lin Wan'er walked in the Lin Mansion, and from time to time a maid walked by, softly calling "Lin family". Lin Wan'er nodded, and she could only nod, because most people didn't know each other.
Lin Wan'er is not like Lin Renzhong, she has a good memory, and she remembers the name and age of each person clearly.
Lin Wan'er just felt familiar, but when it came to everyone, don't embarrass Lin Wan'er, the ghost remembers.
In the entire Lin Mansion, Lin Wan'er only knew Lin Renzhong, Dabao, Baoyu, Yubao, Chen Xiaoxiao and Cordyceps.
But the Lin Mansion was grateful to Lin Wan'er from above, not because the Lin Mansion gave more wages, but because the Lin Mansion had no hierarchy. For example, in other large households, the maids have to be divided into grades, and there are some places in the house that you can't go.
At the beginning, Lin Renzhong also wanted to divide the subordinates into three classes, but Lin Wan'er disagreed, slapped the table, and shouted: "What Laoshizi." ”
Therefore, the level of the maid in the Lin Mansion is the same, and the salary is slightly different, but there is no distinction between high and low.
Sometimes, Lin Renzhong invited people to the Lin Mansion to discuss business.
The idler Lin Wan'er floated by like a lonely ghost, glanced twice into the hall, and said to Lin Renzhong: "Old Five, someone has entered the mansion again, open more wages." Then he floated away.
The businessman looked at Lin Wan'er's distant back and asked, "That's Lin family?" ”
Lin Renzhong said with some pride: "Yes, that's my eldest sister." ”
After eating breakfast, Lin Wan'er felt upset in the house alone, in the past, the family relied on themselves, but now they can each take charge of themselves, Lin Wan'er is happy, but she is also a little disappointed.
Lin Wan'er strangled and wandered around on the street of Lanzhou for a day, went to the painting street, saw Zheng Tuo, and the two looked at each other and smiled from afar, as if Zheng Tuo could understand Lin Wan'er's mood, and nodded from afar.
Lin Wan'er went to many places again, but she always felt that there was a place she should go to see, but what kind of place it was, Lin Wan'er couldn't remember.
When the sun set, Lin Wan'er slapped her head and scolded herself for being stupid - the Lin family's courtyard.
should go to the Lin family's courtyard, Lin Wan'er seemed to have grasped something, her steps were a little brisk, and she went to the Lin family's courtyard alone.
Lin Wan'er looked up at the more dilapidated courtyard gate, and smiled, this is the home she has crossed over, and there is a familiar smell. Lin Wan'er took out the key, opened the door gently, and looked inside, it was still the same as before.
Lin Wan'er remembered that she once sat in the front hall to tell stories to the three of Dabao, once made tofu in the kitchen, and once chopped firewood in the yard.
Suddenly, Lin Wan'er saw a pair of dark green eyes looking at her in the room, like a jewel in the night. Lin Wan'er walked over on tiptoe, slowly pushed open the door, and a white mist floated towards her, Lin Wan'er was not slow to react, and dodged sideways.
"Meow!" A cat meow.
Lin Wan'er exhaled, it turned out to be a cat, the white cat looked at Lin Wan'er with a tiger's eye, and meowed.
Lin Wan'er seemed to be talking to someone: "Don't be unreasonable, this house is mine, you are trespassing on a private house, I can go to the governor's mansion to sue you." ”
"Meow meow." The white cat barked a few more times, and made a gesture to pounce.
Lin Wan'er raised her arms, in a fighting shape, and said, "Don't move, I've practiced." When it comes to fighting, I win more and lose less. Others say that cats are the most obedient, but you are so irritable, it is really a shame for the cat's family. ”
"Meow meow meow" The sound of a cat meow sounded, but it was not the white cat in front of him, but a few kittens behind him.
Lin Wan'er jumped up all of a sudden, leaned sideways, and looked at the kittens, all snow-white, like little meat balls, very cute. Lin Wan'er suddenly realized that this white cat had just given birth to a kitten and was protecting the kitten.
The white cat walked in front of Lin Wan'er cautiously, stretched out her tongue and licked a few small balls of meat, with very humane feelings in her eyes.
Lin Wan'er was touched by the scene in front of her, and said: "I used to live in this house to protect a few little guys, but now that I'm gone, you live in to protect a few little guys." In our bones, we are the same. This house is also really a good house to shelter from the wind and rain. Before the crossing, I wanted to build such a house, but failed. ”
The white cat seemed to dislike Lin Wan'er's chatter, and meowed twice.
Lin Wan'er laughed at herself, stretched out her hands, for fear that the white cat would not understand, and said word by word while gesturing: "I'll take you away, go to a bigger house and eat a better meal, okay?" ”
The white cat doesn't understand and doesn't move.
Lin Wan'er sighed, pointed to a few little white cats, made a hugging motion, and then reached out to pick up a few kittens, the white cat suddenly had all her hair and meowed.
Lin Wan'er glared at the white cat angrily, picked up a few kittens unreasonably, walked out of the Lin family's courtyard, and went to the Drunken Immortal Building.
The white cat followed behind Lin Wan'er pitifully, not knowing what this strange woman was doing.
Boss Sima Yuan personally received Lin Wan'er, although it was a little strange, why did Lin come with a few kittens, but he didn't ask too much, and led Lin Wan'er to the No. 1 room of Tianzi.
Lin Wan'er put a few kittens on the ground, and the white cat hurriedly stepped forward, drove a few kittens to the corner of the room, and then protected the kittens behind her.
Lin Wan'er shook her head and asked, "Is there milk?" ”
Sima Yuan put on the milk.
Lin Wan'er brought the milk to the white cat and said, "Let a few little guys behind you drink some." ”
The white cat was a little suspicious, and took a sip of it, as if to test whether it was poisonous, and then let a few kittens come over, and a few kittens arched their little heads, which were cute.
Lin Wan'er asked for a plate of sweet and sour fish, brought it to the white cat, and said, "This is yours, look at your skinny skinny, hurry up and eat some." ”
The white cat didn't look at the plate of fish, waited for a few kittens to drink up the milk, and drove the kittens into the corner, looking at Lin Wan'er vigilantly.
Lin Wan'er was angry for a while, and snorted coldly: "Kindness is treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and I don't like to eat it." Lin Wan'er asked for a hot pot for herself, the base was ** spicy, she feasted in front of the white cat, her mouth was full of oil, her brows were sweating, and she couldn't help but say: "It's enjoyable, delicious." ”。
The white cat seemed to be angry when she saw Lin Wan'er like this, why do you eat and drink well, I want to starve, and I don't care about burying my head on the plate and eating it in a big gulp.
When Lin Wan'er saw this scene, she smiled slightly, as if she was saying to the white cat, and as if she was saying to herself: "You must have worked hard in the past few years!" ”
No one answered.
Lin Wan'er only heard the whining of the sea breeze blowing behind her.
