Chapter 069: Help You Get Here
It snowed unseasonably in Liangzhou, covering a layer of white veil, as if she was washing the dust for Lin Wan'er. In the next few days, the weather was still gray, and the cold couldn't help but freeze the temperature, and the sun froze, and it was a long time since I saw the sun.
But Lin Wan'er was very busy, in addition to meeting Zheng Tuo, an old acquaintance, in another country, she was also busy with Sun Lanxiang's lifelong events.
As soon as the sky cooled, Lin Wan'er hurriedly got out of bed, washed her face with the cold water overnight, and was very smart, and most of her sleepiness disappeared. I wiped it simply and casually, and threw the towel aside, which is also a habit that has been formed for a long time, and I can't change it.
Glancing at the towel paralyzed in one place, Lin Wan'er couldn't help but shake her head, picked up the towel, put it on the hanger respectfully, and then tidied up the room for the first time, twisted and folded the quilt, cleaned the house, opened the window to disperse the turbidity of the night, replaced the stove with new charcoal, and boiled a pot of water.
After a while, the kettle was bubbling hot, Lin Wan'er picked up a piece of sweet potato that had been roasted overnight in both hands, squatted in front of the door, tore open a layer of sweet potato skin, revealing the steaming bright red sweet potato flesh, and suddenly had a great appetite.
After eating a piece of sweet sweet potato, she even had breakfast, drank a glass of honey, took out Zheng Tuo to give to embroidery, and reached out to pick and choose the needles and threads of different colors in the basket, she couldn't help but shake her head, so many messy things, how could anyone be able to distinguish them, and they could also embroider lifelike flowers, insects, birds and grass, and when I thought about it, I felt that I had a big head.
Lin Wan'er sighed. Get up and take out a few pieces of musk, burn them lightly, and a requiem fragrance spreads. In an instant, the room was filled with aroma.
This is also Zheng Tuo's trick, when Sun Lanxiang meets with the steward or the fat master, he can burn musk to create an atmosphere.
Smelling the aroma, Lin Wan'er couldn't help but burp, although this aroma was very fragrant, she didn't like it very much, no matter how good the aroma was, it was not as good as fresh air. After thinking about the two people who were about to come for a while, she endured it.
Suddenly, Lin Wan'er heard a sound of footsteps. She sat down in a hurry, holding a needle in one hand and a handkerchief in the other, pretending to be serious. Acting should be a full set. In this way, someone can believe it, and then the appearance of the steward or the fat master can be unexpected, and it looks more like fate than his own deliberate arrangement.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Lin Wan'er was getting more and more nervous, like a ball about to be charged, and her hands were a little trembling.
When the footsteps stopped, her already full ball seemed to be punctured. Instantly deflated: "Cordyceps, why are you?" ”
Cordyceps sinensis walked into the house. Looking at the room that had been cleaned up in surprise, I thought that the sun had come out of the west, and everyone Lin had tidied up the room? No one believed it when they said it, and when they smelled the faint aroma, the two of them were even more surprised, Lin didn't like this smell, why did they still get it today.
Xia Cao saw the quilt that was folded crookedly, smiled bitterly, and folded it all over again.
Lin Wan'er dropped the needle and thread in her hand, stood up, walked to the door and looked up, and vaguely saw a figure coming from not far away.
She hurriedly returned to her seat, and before Sun Lanxiang entered the door, she exaggerated and said to Cordyceps: "Oh, this flower is not well embroidered, it has been embroidered for three whole days, my hands are sore, but I still haven't found the trick, it seems that I can only wait for Aunt Lan to come and ask for advice before I can continue." ”
Raising her head, Lin Wan'er pretended to have a surprised expression, and hurriedly pulled Sun Lanxiang into the house, ha, the protagonist has already arrived, just waiting for the steward or the fat master to come.
Beckoning the insects to make tea and serve pastries, Lin Wan'er didn't say to ask for needlework, but she talked about it left and right, chatting about the weather in Xiliang, looking up, the outside was gray, not a good topic, and then I wanted to talk about the customs, and found that in addition to knowing "the land is barren, the people are fierce, and the yellow sand is all over the sky", I don't know much about Xiliang, so I can only smile, nod and say: "Drink tea, drink tea." ”
Sun Lanxiang didn't know what Lin Wan'er was thinking, picked up the semi-finished handkerchief in the basket, her eyes were obviously bright, the stitches were dense, the composition was reasonable, and she drew on the blank artistic conception of the landscape painting of the Great Wei Kingdom, which did not weaken the practical usefulness of the handkerchief at all, and the most wonderful thing was that the progressive line color was used at the edge to create a kind of ink beauty, but this method was a little more complicated.
The more Sun Lanxiang looked at it, the more she liked it, and her mood for many days of haze also improved, and she couldn't help but admire: "Miss Wan'er's craftsmanship is already as pure as fire, I must be smiling and generous when I come, just looking at this color, it can be comparable to Miss Zheng Tuo in Xiaoxiang Pavilion." ”
"Alas, Aunt Lan has won the award, I am just a cat and a tiger, and I can't go to the stage." Sun Lanxiang praised one or two sentences, Lin Wan'er's little tail was cocked again, and her mouth couldn't fit her mouth, she really thought that this embroidery was from her own hand.
Sun Lanxiang looked at the handkerchief for a long time, and had doubts in her heart, the handkerchief has been composed, and the general outline has been outlined, and it is only a matter of time and effort to continue embroidering in the future, she asked: "Miss Wan'er, this handkerchief is already half completed, I don't know how I can help?" ”
"This, this, this ......" Lin Wan'er didn't want to ask for needlework at all, so she didn't prepare a reason and interface to prevaricate, lowered her head and took a sip of water, her eyes rolled, and she said: "Wan'er is good at long and short needles and typing needles, but she is not skilled enough at the junction of flat needles and willow needles, and I want to ask Aunt Lan if there is a good way to be able to do it once and for all." ”
Her voice was getting lower and lower, she couldn't hear it, and her heart was empty, these embroidery stitches were still a few nouns she heard from Qingzhu Niang and Chen Xiaoxiao during the chat, and they were said by piecing them together.
Sun Lanxiang stared at Lin Wan'er for a long time, and saw that Lin Wan'er's heart was furious, could it be that she had already seen the clue, it was fake for her to ask for needlework, and it was true that she "harbored evil intentions" and "had other plans".
A smile appeared from the corner of Sun Lanxiang's mouth, and she said with a smile: "Miss Wan'er, don't be embarrassed. This flat needle and willow needle are indeed a bit cumbersome, not only too Wan'er girl, but also difficult for some old people to control. ”
said. Take out the needle and thread from the basket, the sharp needle and thread, and do not see how to move, the fine needle has been shuttled back and forth on the handkerchief twice, and the hands are flying, like dancing pear blossoms, all over the body. Like drifting snow, a silver needle seems to have life, and in the blink of an eye, it has outlined the outline of a small grass.
Cordyceps sinensis was shocked. The eyes were motionless staring at Sun Lanxiang's hands, and her heart was full of admiration, embroidery is not difficult, it is a craft that practice makes perfect. However, most people start by sketching a mold on the paper. Then compare the embroidery and weaving, like Sun Lanxiang, crochet out of thin air, it is really incredible, even Qingzhu Niang can't be so skilled.
The two watched Sun Lanxiang's hands flying, her eyes unblinking, for fear of missing any detail.
However, Lin Wan'er was a little dazzled, and she was already dizzy with Sun Lanxiang's hands back and forth. I didn't know why, I shook my head to sober myself up. If he continued like this, he would soon fall asleep, and complained in his heart, why didn't this person in charge come, he should have let the fat master come first.
Sun Lanxiang, who was flying with her hands, occasionally paused to explain the key points to Lin Wan'er, Lin Wan'er cheered up, pretended to have benefited a lot, dragged her chin with one hand, and suddenly said: "Oh, I see, I have benefited a lot!" ”
"Knock knock!" The three knocks on the door sounded softly, and it sounded not hurried, but the interval became more and more urgent, which showed that the people who came were nervous.
Lin Wan'er sighed secretly, "The living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering, you are finally here", and the whole person bounced up: "In charge, please hurry, please hurry!" ”
As he spoke, he pulled the other party into the room, pressed next to Sun Lanxiang, and exhaled a long breath, hey, my life is really bitter, and now I can finally take a breath.
Sure enough, as Lin Wan expected, the steward dressed up carefully when he went out, his hair was meticulously combed, and the stubble on his face was also cleaned up.
When he arrived at the destination and sat in his seat, the steward was at a loss, and his eyes wandered: "What was the opening sentence that I just practiced?" ”
Lin Wan'er was secretly happy in her heart, a few days ago, the housekeeper also slapped her swollen face and became fat, saying that she was occasionally lonely, seeing that her heart was already lonely like this, it had become an endless desert, and she urgently needed Sun Lanxiang's spring rain to quench her thirst.
Lin Wan'er stood up and introduced the two of them to each other, giving full play to the spirit that a matchmaker should have, which inevitably had some exaggerations.
For example, when introducing the steward, he not only praised the steward for being a gentleman, behaving properly, and treating people politely, but also added fuel and vinegar to what happened on Xiliang Road, and the steward was tall and mighty. completely forgot the cruel words released when he and the steward had many-for-tat and sabre-rattling battles, what is there without me, what is a heads-up duel.
The steward's face was as red as the burning coals in the house.
Turning his head to introduce Sun Lanxiang was even more exaggerated, the praise of ingenuity and ingenuity was too light, grabbed Sun Lanxiang's hand, and said to the steward: "Do you see these hands?" This hand can only be in the sky, how many times can I see it in the world! "That means that the steward, you can see these hands today, which is also a blessing from the previous life.
Sun Lanxiang also blushed slightly, no matter how martial arts she was, she couldn't resist Lin Wan'er's praise like this.
After Lin Wan'er praised the two, the two got up and saluted, Sun Lanxiang was in her heart, although she began to doubt Lin Wan'er's motives, but the etiquette was appropriate and decent.
The steward was a little excited, his palms were already overflowing with sweat, his back was already soaked, and when he got up, he accidentally kicked over the stool behind him, knocked over the quilt in front of him in a hurry, accidentally knocked over the teapot on the table, and cursed a foul word without leaving a word.
The scene was a lot more embarrassing in an instant, and it was a little cold for a while, and the steward's face turned red, and he couldn't wait to give himself two slaps, and then find a crack in the ground to get in, and everything was over.
Lin Wan'er is worthy of being a master of adjusting the atmosphere, she stood up with a sigh of relief, and walked to the person in charge excitedly: "Steward, today really impresses me, I used to think that you were too old-fashioned, too principled in doing things, and it was inevitable that you would lose some fun, but today I heard you say such a foul word, and found that you also have a temperament, so I can rest assured!" ”
It was originally a very embarrassing thing, but after Lin Wan'er tossed it, the scene eased significantly.
Lin Wan'er is an enthusiastic person as an intermediary, almost everything can connect the two of them, ask the steward if he likes spicy food, the steward nodded, and said: "It's the same as Miss Wan'er, and I like spicy food in the next." Ask Sun Lanxiang again, Sun Lanxiang shook her head and said she didn't like it.
Lin Wan'er sighed: "This is the best!" ”
Best? Everyone didn't understand, one likes spicy food, the other doesn't like spicy food, how can it be the best.
"Ha, when you eat hot pot in the future, you can make a mandarin duck pot, a clear soup, a spicy one, and you can eat whatever flavor you want." Lin Wan'er said seriously, "By the way, do you know what a mandarin duck is?" This mandarin duck has the meaning of love in the culture. ”
The children of the Great Wei Kingdom know the meaning of the mandarin duck, not to mention the people present, Lin Wan'er still tirelessly chatters about the meaning of the mandarin duck.
Finally, when it comes to dry mouth, I took a sip of tea, and wanted to continue to quote classical poems and talk about mandarin ducks in more detail.
The steward hurriedly stopped: "Miss Wan'er is well-versed in the past and the present, knowledgeable, and admired. ”
Lin Wan'er smiled happily, stood up, and said: "I almost forgot one thing, I'm going to go to Baoyu to take a look, it's been some time since I came to the palace, and I don't know where Baoyu lives." The two of you talk slowly, I'll pick it up and come back. ”
Throwing the steward a "I can only help you get here" expression, Lin Wan'er didn't allow others to leave the room, Cordyceps sinensis is two clever girls, and they also came out, both of them understood what Lin Wan'er meant in their hearts, this is Lin everyone's nosy temperament is coming up again, you must roar when you see injustice, the monkey left Sun Lanxiang in that way, Lin everyone is angry, maybe they are more angry than Sun Lanxiang.
Lin Wan'er turned around and showed a treacherous smile and slammed the door shut.
As soon as the door of the house closed, it was as if a thunderclap exploded in the hearts of the steward and Sun Lanxiang, and the two of them were in a hurry. (To be continued......)
