Chapter 373: Child

After Lin Yu and Xiaobai left the stall selling rice balls, they went shopping again and prepared to go back. At this time, it was not early, and the flow of people had slowly begun to disperse, although it was still crowded, but most of them were passers-by going home. Because Lin Yu's carriage was parked outside the workshop, he and Xiaobai walked back along the road in the crowd, walking side by side, which was also inconspicuous.

Lin Yu looked up at the bright moon in the sky, then looked at the people around him, and said with a faint smile, "Don't rush back to Lanyuan today, it's not necessary to go out of the city at night, so stay at my house for a while." ”

Theoretically, although the two have been engaged, in fact, Xiaobai should still avoid suspicion a little, but Lin Yu is not an ancient person who strictly abides by etiquette, and he doesn't care so much about this, so he took the initiative to say to Xiaobai. After all, it's almost eleven o'clock in the evening, and when Xiaobai sends him back, he will rush back to Lanyuan, I'm afraid that it won't be one or two o'clock at night.

Xiaobai is not the kind of person who is stubborn, nodding, Lin Yu took the initiative to speak, he will not refuse, and his heart is a little sweeter. The two followed the flow of people to the place where Lin Yu's carriage was parked, but saw that the coachman was helplessly guarding a strange little boy.

"Uncle Gen, who is this kid?" Lin Yu couldn't help but be a little strange, so he asked.

When the two approached, they found that the child was no more than five or six years old, wearing a bright red brocade robe, a gold collar inlaid with beautiful jade around his neck, a pair of black eyes like jade, white and tender skin, and small pink lips flattened, cute like a little fairychild. But the lovely little boy was now sitting on the edge of the carriage with red eyes, evidently having just cried. looked at Lin Yu and Xiaobai who came over.

Lin Yu originally thought that this child might be the child of someone he knew from the coachman or servant, and he would help take care of it for the time being, but now it is clear that it is definitely not the case. The little boy was beautiful and cute. The dress is also very good, and the beautiful jade around the neck is operated, at least the child of a rich businessman.

Seeing Lin Yu looking at him suspiciously, Uncle Gen, the coachman, had been waiting to report to Lin Yu for a long time, "This kid seems to have been lost, thinking that our family's carriage belongs to his family." ”

There are many people during the Lantern Festival, and the children who are not sure will be lost. Lin Yu nodded and continued to ask, "What's this child's name?" Whose little son. Did you make it clear? If you want to ask clearly, send him home. ”

Uncle Gen said helplessly, "This kid doesn't say whether he lives or dies, probably he doesn't remember." It's still young after all. ”

"Don't you say?" Lin Yu smiled slightly. Just as he was about to ask in person, he heard the voice of a delicate and tender child over there, "My surname is Zhou, and my name is Zhou Yu." ”

Uncle Gen was dumbfounded all of a sudden, looking at the child, very helpless, no matter how they coaxed him before, the child didn't say anything. I thought he didn't remember, but who knew that Lu Dao made himself so faceless. Miss himself didn't ask, he said it himself.

"The Zhou family? What is your father's name, do you know the way? Lin Yu's tired face showed a gentle smile, this child looked so cute, she couldn't help but soften her voice.

However, there are a lot of wealthy eunuchs surnamed Zhou in the capital, if you know the name of the child, although it is easy to check, but if you can know the name of the child's father, maybe you can be sent back that night. Such a lovely child, once lost, the family must have died in a hurry.

The kid was really smart, raised his dark eyes and glanced at Lin Yu and Xiaobai, and whispered, "My father's name is Zhou Yong, and I am the little young master of the Yasukuni Mansion." ”

"It turned out to be his house." Lin Yu sighed lightly, "You are the young master in the Guogong Mansion, why did you get lost?" ”

"My aunt wanted to harm me, but I overheard it, and I ran away first." The boy spoke very quickly, and immediately stopped talking.

Although the kid didn't say it very clearly, Lin Yu also guessed what was going on, and couldn't help sighing. Zhou Yong, the third son of the Yasukuni Gong, is also a famous playboy, with more than a dozen concubines, I heard that the wife is not very favored, but he barely keeps a low position when he has a son-in-law.

"Follow my sister back for one night, and I'll send you back tomorrow, okay?" Lin Yu looked at the time, thought about the situation of the child's family, and did not plan to send the child over immediately.

The child nodded silently, and when Lin Yu got into the carriage, he followed and sat in. Xiao Bai, who was about to speak, suddenly felt a little dizzy, looked at Xiao Bai who was about to turn over and get on the horse, and called softly.

"Scarlet, come in and sit down, I'm probably really tired, just help me take care of this child."

Lin Yu and Xiaobai are dating today, naturally they didn't bring many people, after all, who wants to bring a lot of light bulbs, Lin Yu only brought a rough maid ring and a coachman, the coachman wants to catch the car, and the rough maid ring will not take care of people, except for Lin Yu, only Xiaobai can take care of this child.

And because Xiaobai is very handsome and has a very handsome appearance and elegant and calm demeanor, although the little child named Zhou Yu rejects the coachman and the girl ring, he is quite affectionate to Xiaobai, at least he asks and answers, instead of saying nothing.

"Listen to this brother." Lin Yu slowly closed her eyes, "Sister is a little tired, take a rest." ”

The light that came in from the carriage window was not so bright, it was still very dim, the carriage was lit with a small glass hydrangea lamp, and Lin Yu's snow-white face was hard to hide, and there was a slight sense of transparency. Xiaobai saw her like this, and regretted it again, obviously she had already entered the palace today, and she was already very tired, so she really shouldn't have pulled her out to play.

However, there is a curfew in Da Zhou, and there are only a few opportunities in a year to lift the curfew, which is a very good opportunity, and he really wants to watch this beautiful night scene with the people around him, like many children in the world. Xiaoyu should also know this, so she held on.

"Don't think anything, I wanted to come out to play on my own, in fact, I was also quite happy to play, what is it if you are tired, just rest for a few days." A soft female voice in the carriage suddenly sounded, but it was Lin Yu who noticed Xiaobai's heart knot and said with a smile. "Lend me your shoulder for a lean, I'm really going to take a break."

Before Xiao Bai could speak, a body with a faint fragrance leaned against him, and Lin Yu leaned lightly on him. Long hair slipped down his shoulders, and he smiled a little reassuringly, "Don't disturb me." Don't be noisy with the little son of the Zhou family, listen to this beautiful brother. ”

The little boy Zhou Yu looked at the girl next to him with a face like white jade, then looked at the beautiful brother, nodded, and said softly, "I can't speak." ”

Lin Yu was probably extremely tired, although he said that he was just leaning on it. But she really fell asleep on the road, and when she woke up again, it was already early the next morning. Although the fatigue around the body has not been completely eliminated. But I slept well all night, and I was a lot more relaxed.

However, Lin Yu still remembered that he was in the carriage, and fell asleep because he was tired, so how could he be in his bedroom as soon as he woke up.

"Me. How did you get back? Why is there no memory at all? ”

Pearl saw Lin Yu wake up. I came over early to serve Lin Yu to get up, and said with a smile, "Miss was really tired yesterday and slept soundly, and Bai Gongzi carried you in." ”

Seeing that the look on Lin Yu's face was quite normal, and he didn't feel very embarrassed, Pearl continued to say more, "Miss really picked a good husband this time." Bai Gongzi's eyes are really gentle and affectionate, as if he is looking at some rare treasure. I'm all touched by the fact that an outsider looks at it. ”

"You look moved, so find someone to marry." Lin Yu sneered, but he didn't care, "Don't help that guy talk because of his beauty, don't forget that your young lady is me." ”

"Miss, why don't you believe me, will I still harm you?" Seeing that Lin Yu only thought that he was helping Bai Gongzi say good things, Pearl didn't believe it, she was a little anxious, stomped her feet and said, "I don't know much about culture, but I have eyes to see it, and it is definitely a deep affection." ”

Lin Yu didn't believe it, she was a slow person, and her heart was a little cold when she said it was ugly. Modern people dare not believe in feelings, and ancient men had no sense of moral guilt in three wives and four concubines and cheating. Lin Yu admits that she likes Xiaobai very much, if it were him, she would be willing to start a family with him, and she has some expectations for her future life.

But she couldn't tell how much of it was because of friendship and how much was because of love, but she clearly felt that there was still a little distance from the legendary deep love, because at least no matter how pleasant and touched she was when she got along, she still felt that she still maintained two points of reason, and did not have that desperate impulse. I don't know if it's because I'm really not deep enough, or because I'm estranged from this world.

But she is clearly aware of the gap between herself and this world, no matter whether she is happy or painful, no matter how well she integrates, her heart can never be completely close to this world. Her heart always told herself that this was not her own world, that she did not belong here, at least not completely.

If you don't understand, you can't figure it out, it's not your own world, and life will go on. Lin Yu knows very well in his heart that no matter how much regret and pain there is, life or the meaning of life is continuation, and only if you go on can it be real.

And whether from the perspective of emotion or reality, Bai Feiruo is a very ideal object for himself. Xiaobai's family style and character are good, the two have a very good emotional foundation, some talents, and rare good looks, and more importantly, Xiaobai's heart is relatively clean, no family children have seen more sophisticated dogs and horses, and they are not so strict in abiding by feudal etiquette and norms.

It is undeniable that even if he is such a wishful man, Lin Yu always has some unspeakable feelings in his heart. It's not that she's dissatisfied with Xiaobai, but she's dissatisfied with herself, or because Bai Feiruo is good, it makes her feel uneasy. It would be nice if you had such a boyfriend in the modern world. But if it were a modern society, would I have such a boyfriend?

Lin Yu looked at herself in the mirror, she was really a very beautiful girl, her skin was as crystal clear as jade, her eyebrows and eyes were warm and beautiful, her eyes like black jade were faintly bright, her nose and cherry lips and melon seed face, even if she didn't have the terrifying beauty of Yin Susu, she was still pure and beautiful like the moon in the night sky, and she had a hair like ink satin scattered on her shoulders, even if she just got up and hadn't freshened up, she was still soft and could be combed to the end.

In the past, although my appearance was also good, I was not so good, because I still had scars on my hands, unlike the current pair of slender and beautiful hands, which are really like jade carvings. In the past, many things were not seen so clearly, and after life and death, many things would be thought about and understood.

Lin Yu looked at himself in the mirror, and couldn't help but be distracted, if it was in his previous life, he would have found a science and engineering man who was similar to himself, and then he was not very rich, nor very poor, and lived his life peacefully.

"Miss, what are you thinking?" Pearl looked at Lin Yu and looked at the mirror in a daze, and asked in a low voice.

Lin Yu, who was called back to God, suddenly laughed, thinking too much about what to do, at least he was alive now, and that was enough. As long as you are truly alive and have no regrets while you are alive, it is enough.

Seeing that Lin Yu's originally slightly sad and confused eyes had regained their brilliance, Pearl breathed a sigh of relief and said again, "By the way, Miss, whose child is it that you and Bai Gongzi brought back yesterday?" ”

"What's wrong? Did that kid get into trouble? Lin Yu still likes the little boy very much, and when he was by his side before, although he was very young, he also showed good cultivation and family education.

"It's not that he caused trouble, it's just that he is very vigilant, and he doesn't let a few maids get close, and Bai Gongzi takes care of him personally. Cui Yi is very sad, it is rare to see such a cute child, but she is not allowed to take care of it. Pearl said the gossip she had heard from another girl in the morning, "But I heard that the child is extremely smart, and he speaks and does things like a little adult, and can memorize many poems." ”

"That kid is a little precocious." Lin Yu recalled the demeanor of the little boy named Zhou Yu, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's normal to be vigilant, after all, it's such a young child, and he was so frightened, although he escaped from danger smartly, he should also be frightened." ”

"Which kid is that? Miss, you haven't told me yet. Pearl was keenly aware of the gossip contained in it, "Why do you say that you are out of danger?" ”

"It's the grandson of the Duke of Yasukuni, as for the danger, it's probably his father's concubine who wants to throw him away or kill him."

Lin Yu's expression was faint, and he didn't mean to hide it for the Zhou family. He has no friendship with the Zhou family, there is no need to hide it for them and save his reputation, he likes the little child named Zhou Yu very much, for his safety, this matter is out of the way, even if his father wants to protect his concubine, the Duke of Yasukuni will not allow this kind of poisonous woman.

"This kind of big family is really messy." Pearl snorted twice, "Miss, what are you going to do with that child?" If you don't stay at our house, I've seen it, and the kid is so pretty. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, that kid is the grandson of Yasukuni Gong." Lin Yu smiled, "Wait a minute, I'll go over and see it in person, have breakfast together, and send that child to the Yasukuni Mansion with Bai Feiruo." By the way, can Bai Gongzi be in the guest room? ”

"Yes, it's said that the kid is being taught to memorize." Pearl nodded, "Where's breakfast?" ”

"It's in the small flower hall, it's close to the guest house." Lin Yu groaned slightly. (To be continued......)
