Zheng Tuo was only slightly stunned, with a relieved smile on his face, he didn't mean to be surprised, but said with some envy: "Linglong people are with Linglong people, it's so good!" ”

She was not surprised, but Lin Wan'er was surprised, everyone who heard Xiaoxiao was pregnant with a big treasure child was surprised, such as Zhao Fengzhi and others shook their heads and said, "The world has changed", but this Zheng Tuo was only slightly stunned, it was incredible.

"I'm talking about, Xiaoxiao is pregnant with Dabao's child?" Lin Wan'er's eyes widened and she repeated again.

Zheng Tuo just smiled faintly: "It is said that the two are unguessed and intimate, and people will hide their thoughts when they grow up, but Xiaoxiao and Dabao will be frank and honest with each other, especially Dabao will not hide dirt and dirt, and others will not envy it." ”

Lin Wan'er was speechless, she didn't expect Dabao to become a fragrant dumpling.

She misses Dabao a little and misses going to the capital, just like when she just left Lanzhou to go to the capital, she was reluctant to give up the small courtyard in Lanzhou, in the final analysis, Lin Wan'er is still a family lover who has relocated to a peaceful land and has a nostalgic complex.

Therefore, it is impossible for her to be like the protagonists in other books, who can easily let go of her previous life, and even her personality has changed 180 degrees, and then she throws all the baggage on her body and strides forward with her head held high.

Continue walking, not long before I came to Zheng Tuo's residence, Zheng Tuo's room is independent, with an obvious Lanzhou style, the eaves are steep, convenient for the rainy season pouring rain, the doors and windows are two-layered, and surprisingly large, convenient for lighting, on the eaves hang a pair of sunny dolls, snuggling up to each other's heads, the mouth drawn by the brush is greatly cracked. As if laughing, there was a small and delicate wind chime hanging not far away, fluttering in the wind. Ding, jingle.

I think it was also built by Xu Yunfeng after Zheng Tuo came to Xiliang. Although the style is unique, the whole house is in harmony with the palace, as if it is embedded in the scenery of the palace, neither noisy nor shy to hide, so that others can not see.

If the whole palace is a landscape painting splashed with ink. Zheng Tuo's house is a landscape with a unique brushstrokes in landscape painting, which can be independent into a landscape and can melt into the entire painting.

Lin Wan'er looked up. Feeling cordial, I saw a plaque hanging on the house again, and I couldn't help grinning at the corners of my mouth, muttering in my heart: "What Raushzi!" ”

Because that plaque carries three big characters - Xiaoxiang Pavilion. The place where Lin Daiyu lives in "The Story of Stones" is Xiaoxiang Pavilion. And Xu Yunfeng is a famous "stone fan", dressed to imitate Jia Baoyu, and his speech is also made up and apocryphal, often giving people a ridiculous feeling, it is not strange to give Zheng Tuo's house a Xiaoxiang Pavilion, although it is far from the scenery of Lin Daiyu's Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the book, but Zheng Tuo's life experience corresponds to the word Xiaoxiang, and he is adrift. Xiaoxiang is poignant.

"I said, the name of the place where Xu Yunfeng lives shouldn't be Yihong Courtyard, right?!" In "The Story of Stones", Jia Baoyu's residence is called Yihong Courtyard. Take Yi Yi red and fast green, the indoor four wall windows are carved, the flowers are splendid, exquisite, this Xu Yunfeng is very likely to draw a scoop according to the gourd, maybe he also gave himself the name of Yihong Gongzi.

At the mention of Xu Yunfeng, Zheng Tuo's face showed an extremely complicated expression, but it was fleeting, and he said: "It is Yihong Courtyard, but it is not modeled after the Yihong Courtyard where Baoyu lives in "The Story of Stones". Before the book "The Stone Record" was written, His Royal Highness's house was built, and it was called Yihong Courtyard. This name has caused a lot of trouble, and it coincides with the name of the land of wind and snow, but there are many people in Xiliang who chew their tongues with this name. ”

Lin Wan'er smiled, not only the Qinglou in Xiliang has the name of "Yihong Courtyard", but even the Qinglou in various parts of the Central Plains often has some cheesy names such as "Yihong Building", "Qunfang Building", "Yihong Building" and "Wanhua Building", no wonder Yihong Mansion is criticized.

"However, as soon as Miss Wan'er's "Stone Story" came out, His Royal Highness became much tougher, and he would brag when he met people: Heroes see the same thing, you people with long hair and short knowledge, where can you know the wonders of the word Yihong, hum!" Zheng Tuo laughed while talking, imitating Xu Yunfeng's tone was also vivid, enough to confuse the real with the fake.

Lin Wan'er knows that she is a pair of young men and women who are angry with each other and simple-minded, they obviously like each other tightly, but they just want to pretend to be a strong look of "I don't need you", or the kind of self-deception mentality that lives better without you and me, slapping a swollen face and being fat, if the other party has a little mistake, wait, I am more nervous than anyone else.

Zheng Tuo seemed to see what Lin Wan'er was thinking, and sighed and said, "Miss Wan'er, don't think about it too much, it is impossible for me and His Highness." There was sadness on his face, all piled up between his eyebrows.

Lin Wan'er thought to herself was right, as far as Xu Yunfeng's temperament, the flower name is full of Xiliang, and he is nostalgic for the land of wind and moon, I often hear people say that someone has opened a handicap in the gambling house, and the bet is that His Royal Highness the Prince can not come out of the Qinglou for many days, and the highest record has reached fifty-four days, which makes the entire Xiliang and even the Great Wei Kingdom secretly smack their tongues. According to the group of men, what is "don't give up the whole forest for a tree", hum, or that sentence, men don't have a good thing, it's really a wise saying, and it's eternal.

Zheng Tuo seemed to see Lin Wan'er's thoughts again, and explained: "It's not His Highness's fault, His Highness is very good, it's just that fate ......"

While speaking, everyone had already entered the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

After entering, Lin Wan'er smacked her tongue, and there was no doubt that Zheng Tuo was a woman in her heart, and the walls of the room were full of gorgeous embroidery, colorful, including mandarin ducks playing in the water, lion dancing hydrangeas, dragons and phoenixes Chengxiang, plum blossoms reflecting snow, and some less common embroidery, such as a stool, a puppy, and a rabbit with long ears.

But the most magnificent is the embroidery of the three zhang hanging all over a wall, it has not yet taken shape, but it has begun to emerge, it is a majestic painting that encompasses the entire Xiliang Palace, the background is the majestic snow mountain, the center is the bay of the snow lake, the west bank of the snow is on the picture scroll, the snow long bridge spans it, and the jumping needle and the hidden needle technique are also used to outline the few reflections in the snow lake.

Standing in front of this giant embroidery, Lin Wan'er was amazed, it was already so magnificent before it was formed, if it was completed, it would be a treasure that was difficult to buy. If it is hung in the hall of the house, it is an extremely long-faced thing.

Therefore, Lin Wan'er concluded that Zheng Tuo was a woman, if she was not a woman. How could it be possible to embroider such a picture scroll, if someone said that men are also okay, Lin Wan'er will definitely laugh off her big teeth: "Men are okay too?" Would you like to tell a humorous joke? ”

Zheng Tuo looked at Lin Wan'er's surprised appearance, smiled slightly, made a pot of tea with his own hands, and ordered the little maid to serve a plate of pastries, took a piece and handed it to Baoyu.

Baoyu took the pastry a little stiffly and shyly. Blushing and whispering, "Thank you." ”

Lin Wan'er stood in front of the giant embroidery, her eyes widened, and the whole person seemed to have been attracted to it. The embroidery seemed to have a great magical power, and although it was only embroidery, it was lifelike, as if it wanted to come to life.

The snow lake rose with water vapor. Spread slowly. As if to engulf the entire palace, occasionally a fresh breeze blew, blowing ripples, revealing the clear water, and there were swimming fish swimming underwater. The snow-capped mountains in the distance also came to life, the trees on them also came to life, there seemed to be birds and beasts shuttling among them, and the white clouds in the sky were also floating in the wind.

Lin Wan'er has no aesthetic vision. I don't know how to combine the beauty of intention and the beauty of form, but this giant embroidery deeply attracted Lin Wan'er. I seem to have become the person of this embroidery, and I am walking in the meantime, and I see a grass, a tree, a flower and a tree.

Zheng Tuo saw that Lin Wan'er was obsessed with it, and there was a fleeting surprise in his eyes, so he hurriedly walked behind Lin Wan'er, patted her shoulder gently, and reminded her loudly: "Miss Wan'er." ”

Lin Wan'er woke up suddenly, and smiled back with some gaffes: "This painting is really ......" She didn't know how to describe it for a while, after all, it was an unfinished splendor, but there was a magic, like an invisible hand born from the embroidery, to pull Lin Wan'er in.

"I'm idle and embroidery. Miss Wan'er, please sit down, eat some pastries and drink some tea. No matter how confused Lin Wan'er was, Zheng Tuo reached out and grabbed her hands and pressed them on the stool, just so that Lin Wan'er and the giant embroidery were facing each other.

After watching it for a long time, Lin Wan'er was a little dizzy, shook her head, and saw the delicate and delicate pastries of different colors that had been placed on the table, so she naturally forgot about the embroidery, but complained a little about Baoyu: "Baoyu, if there is something delicious, I don't call the eldest sister, in the future, if there is such a situation, I must tell the eldest sister immediately, understand?" ”

Baoyu nodded shyly, after seeing Zheng Tuo today, the whole person became a lot quieter, and it was not as pleasing as it was on weekdays.

Gently pinching up a piece of pastry, Lin Wan'er couldn't help but admire, the pastry was very small, and the appearance was so delicate that she couldn't bear to put her mouth down, if anyone opened his mouth to eat this pastry, he was a big villain who was tyrannical and ruined.

After swallowing her saliva, Lin Wan'er decided to be such a wicked person, opened her mouth and took a bite gently, chewing slowly, as if tasting the best pastry in the world, swallowing it in one bite, Lin Wan'er couldn't help but praise: "Sugar, vanilla, honey, purple potato, yam, almond, jujube paste...... Well, with the help of good flour, it was baked three times, and the outside was wrapped in sugar, which is really delicious in the world. ”

"Amazing, Miss Wan'er has been able to taste these kinds, and knows that they are baked three times, which is second to none in Xiliang." Zheng Tuo smiled and handed Lin Wan'er a cup of tea.

Lin Wan'er took the tea with a smile and took a sip gently: "I have also been ill for a long time, I eat Sima Yuan's pastries in Lanzhou, and I eat pastries from the imperial dining room every day in Shangjing, and if I eat too much, I will be able to know the doors." It's just that this pastry still has a taste of raw materials, I can't taste it, and the faint aroma looms and lingers on the tip of the tongue. ”

"It's osmanthus." Zheng Tuo explained.

"No wonder, no wonder." Lin Wan'er knocked her head and ate another piece of pastry, "After adding osmanthus, not only did I not rob the taste of the main ingredients, but also pressed the sweetness of honey and jujube paste, but I didn't expect that there would be osmanthus in this Xiliang." ”

"Yes." Zheng Tuo glanced up at the window, just to see a corner of the sculpture of the princess Baizhang, "There is a large maple forest between the princess's mound and the sculpture, and there are a few osmanthus trees dotted in it, and in the autumn, the maple leaves are like fire, and the osmanthus will also bloom and bloom, wafting out bursts of fragrance, pick a few flowers to dry, and wait until the spring of the next year, grind them into flour, mix them in flour to make pastries, and the taste is excellent." ”

Lin Wan'er nodded, her mouth kept talking, but Baoyu firmly remembered that there was still a well-dressed mound in the palace, and she had to pick a time to take a look, recite the "Diamond Sutra" a few times, and tell her mother that everything was fine.

After the initial surprise, Lin Wan'er had already accepted the fact that Zheng Tuo was a woman, and she unconsciously spoke more, chatted about the past of Lanzhou City, and opened the conversation, the relationship between the two was unconsciously closer, and the title was much closer, Lin Wan'er called Zheng Tuo Sister Tuo, and Zheng Tuo called her Wan'er.

Lin Wan'er, who couldn't fight with the lady, had to make inches, and she was even more unscrupulous when she gobbled up pastries, and her face turned red several times, and she poured a few sips of tea before she got over that breath.

Lin Wan'er also told Zheng Tuo about her troubles, that is, the emotional entanglement between Sun Lanxiang and Splash Monkey, she wanted to let the fat master or the steward capture Sun Lanxiang's heart and teach Splash Monkey a good lesson.

She thought that although Zheng Tuo was a woman, she was also the number one person in Lanzhou, and she might scoff at her own childish thoughts, but she didn't expect Zheng Tuo to agree with both hands and make some ingenious suggestions.

Lin Wan'er's eyes were crooked, like a little fox, with a smile on her face, she kept nodding her head, and said in her mouth: "Yes, yes, you should do this, and you will use it tomorrow." ”

The two talked about some other topics, and before they knew it, it was evening, and Lin Wan'er got up to leave, not forgetting to bring a plate of pastries.

Zheng Tuo took a few semi-finished handkerchiefs and handed them to Lin Wan'er: "Wan'er, you said that you want to ask for needlework, but there are no needlework objects, so you can't go on, oh, this is a half-embroidered handkerchief, take it out and use it tomorrow." ”

Lin Wan'er smiled and took the handkerchief with a smile, if it wasn't for Zheng Tuo's reminder, she really forgot to ask for needlework.

When she was about to go out, Lin Wan'er unconsciously glanced at the giant embroidery on the wall again, shook her head, and turned to leave.

Zheng Tuo smiled and watched Lin Wan'er leave, and when she returned to the house, she felt that the room was empty and less popular, and the little maid also felt that Miss Zheng, who usually cherished words like gold, was really very happy today, with more words and more smiling faces.

Sitting lightly on the chair, Zheng Tuo was stunned for a while, his eyes suddenly became resolute, he took out the needle and thread, walked to the embroidery, and muttered to himself: "Time is running out." Then he buried himself in embroidering the scroll of the palace. (To be continued......)
