Chapter 144: The Heavy Rain Is Like This, Who Knocks on the Door?
In fact, it's not that Lin Yu and others didn't see Yuan Jiangliu, but that Yuan Jiangliu is a light and macho person, and he is not very likable to Lin Yu and others. Lin Yu had a bad feeling for him because of his words before, and Bai Feiruo was even more disgusted with persuading Lin Yu to marry Yu Wenyi as a side room.
In addition, when Lin Yu and the others entered the door, the maids had already sued him, so the three of them made up their minds not to take the initiative to deal with him.
Fortunately, this Yuan Jiangliu is still quite thick-skinned, seeing that others don't take the initiative to greet him, they are anti-customer-oriented, and interjected with a smile.
"Why did Miss Lin come back at this time? At this time, the incense feast was dispersed for a while
Even if there was something, because of how easy it was for him as an outsider to say, Lin Yu glanced at him, and laughed softly, "It's not unusual for us to come back late, it's really unusual for Yuan Qigongzi to be here?" ”
Lin Yu insinuated, it was still subtle, Bai Fei Ruoke was not so polite, "I made it clear last night, why do you bother to come to annoy people again?" ”
Yuan Jiangliu looked at the delicate Lin Yu, and then at the stunning Bai Feiruo, and suddenly realized, "No wonder you didn't agree to the Seventh Highness, it turns out that you and this little white face have feelings for each other." ”
Bai Feiruo suddenly choked with anger, although he did have a good impression of Xiao Yu, but he never made it clear, and Xiao Yu and himself did not have any excessive closeness.
Lin Yu didn't get annoyed, just sighed deeply, and his half-drooping eyelashes covered his warm pupils, "No matter what I say, you won't believe me just sticking to my principles." ”
Such a man, because he sees too many beautiful women, is easy to fall into, or because he is too popular with women, he will not understand that there are completely different women in the world.
Although he was machismo, but looking at Lin Yu like this, Yuan Jiangliu didn't know how to do it for a while, but Yin Susu made a round, "Xiaoyu, in that case, you can talk to Yuan Qi Gong again, and then write a letter to His Royal Highness the Seventh, I think even if the seventh prince of Yuan can't say it clearly, His Royal Highness the Seven is always sensible." ”
"Okay, please come with me." Looking at Yin Susu's eyes, Lin Yu was also afraid that Yuan Jiangliu would be entangled again, so he nodded and said, "Let's go to the Little Flower Hall to talk." ”
Looking at Lin Yu's calm and sad side face, his heart suddenly ached, and Bai Fei didn't say what he wanted to say, but quietly watched the two of them walk out of the door.
"Xiaobai, I also understand your intentions." Yin Susu suddenly spoke, "But, how can she calm down now?" It's better to solve this matter neatly, the two of you are traveling, wouldn't it be the first to get the moon near the water? ”
"I know it, but-" But it was still psychologically uncomfortable, Bai Feiruo originally watched Lin Yu firmly reject Yu Wenyi again and again, thinking that Lin Yu didn't have much affection for Yu Wenyi, but looking at her calm and sad expression just now, she was not sure.
Yin Susu looked at Bai Feiruo's expression carefully, and suddenly realized that his younger brother might have a lot more feelings for Lin Yu than he imagined, and couldn't help but think.
Qingqing saw that the two of them were silent, thinking that they were cold, so she hurriedly opened her mouth to divert the topic, "By the way, Sister Susu, we were attacked today, thanks to Xiaobai." ”
"What's going on?" Yin Susu sobered up from his thoughts and said in surprise for a moment, "What did you do besides making a big show at the incense tasting banquet last night?" ”
"Why are we causing trouble?" Bai Feiruo was not very satisfied with her sister's statement and explained, "It seems to be the Feng family, the Feng family fell in love with the incense recipe handed down by Sister Qingqing's family, and wanted to kidnap Sister Qingqing, and then seek the incense recipe." ”
"The robbers said it was the Feng family, but it may not be the Feng family's people who are staring at you, there are many more people than you can imagine." Yin Susu pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Eleven, you and Gongzi are going to make a move." ”
Suddenly, a baby-faced gray-clothed boy jumped from under the eaves, and he was so frightened that he was scared, but Bai Scarlet Ruo was not surprised. The boy had already made a move while jumping down, and after a few moves, the two of them had already jumped out of the house.
Just a moment, the gray-clothed young man came in panting, followed by Bai Feiruo with a normal expression.
"Eleven's kung fu, how's it going?" Yin Susu raised her eyes and glanced at Bai Feiruo and smiled lightly.
"Martial arts are good." Bai Feiruo nodded, "It's good." ”
"How much worse is the person who kidnapped you?" Yin Susu asked again.
"It's so far away, it's just a little bit of a fist." Bai Feiruo sat down and took a sip of tea
"That's really the Feng family." Yin Susu said with a smile, "This Feng family really doesn't know the depths." ”
Bai Feiruo wasn't very interested in the affairs of the Feng family, but just glanced thoughtfully at the small flower hall over there, "Why haven't you finished talking about it yet?" ”
"How can it be so fast, Xiaoyu wants to repair the book to Yu Wenyi, naturally he has to consider the words, even if he finishes writing the letter, he has to say a few words to Yuan Jiangliu." Yin Susu sighed and said, "It's not a good thing for a woman to look good, for example, Xiaoyu, if she looks ordinary, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Seventh will not fall in love so easily." ”
At this time, Lin Yuzheng finished writing the letter, sealed it and handed it to Yuan Jiangliu, and sighed softly, "When His Royal Highness Seventh sees the letter, he understands my thoughts, and he won't make trouble anymore." Please also advise him to eat well and take care of his body. ”
Yuan Jiangliu didn't believe Lin Yu's words, but said, "What is written in your letter, can it be so effective?" ”
Lin Yu shook his head, "What I wrote, naturally it is impossible to tell you." In fact, this is a matter between me and the Seventh Highness, and you don't need to understand too much. ”
Yuan Jiangliu heard her say that, and thought about it in his heart, he had an excellent relationship with the Seventh Prince, which did not mean that he could really participate in the relationship between the two.
"However, I still don't quite understand, you don't seem to have any friendship with His Royal Highness Seven, why don't you let go at all? When ordinary women saw the wealth and glory of the prince and prince, they had already pounced. I also know that you are not the kind of person who covets glory, but His Royal Highness the Seventh has a deep affection for you, why are you still unmoved. If you want to talk about side concubines, they are also noble, as long as they don't make big mistakes, ordinary concubines can't move them. ”
Lin Yu looked at Yuanjiangliu, who was dressed in purple and standing by the window, and was in a trance when he heard the words, and suddenly remembered the smiling and handsome young man in the golden sunlight in the afternoon of Changhe County.
Halfway, she sighed softly, "The reason is simple, he is not as affectionate as he imagined, and I am more proud than he imagined." What's more, he can't give me the lifetime and one couple I want. ”
"The Seventh Highness is under house arrest for you, isn't it deep enough?" Yuan Jiangliu smacked his tongue and said.
"If you really have a deep affection for me, how can you be willing to let me kneel at the feet of other women and let my children be inferior?" Lin Yu shook his head and sighed, "Of course, His Royal Highness the Seventh is already an affectionate person, but he is a prince after all, and he can't help himself, so he can't let him elope for me." ”
Yuan Jiangliu was silent for a moment when he heard this, Fang Dao, seeing that you have a gentle temperament and are gentle and smooth, I didn't expect you to be really proud. ”
"You put the letter away, don't say anything to him, it's fate, that's probably it." Lin Yu sighed deeply.
Before Yuan Jiangliu left, he glanced at the girl in white standing there alone, and suddenly felt that she was also very pitiful, no better than Yu Wenyi. When the two met that day, they had a sense of distress but couldn't be together, and the so-called fate was inseparable, and it was true. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh deeply and braved the rain to leave.
Lin Yu saw that he was about to leave, and called the housekeeper to send him out, knowing that the matter had come to this point, and the two of them were no longer possible. Leaning against the window, listening to the sound of the rain, Lin Yu was in a trance and sad for a while, before returning to the main hall with a wry smile.
At this time, Yin Susu was discussing cooperation with Qingqing, and when she came in, her expression was gloomy, but she didn't dare to ask more, but just beckoned her to continue the discussion. It turned out that Yin Susu felt that Qingqing relied on the Gu family's many incense recipes, it was a pity to just make a small shop, and with the Feng family's move, it was better to join forces with his own Huaxinfang to compete with the Feng family.
You must know that the pollen rouge of the Huaxinfang is more delicate and the quality is better than that of the Fengjia, but the fragrance made by the Fengjia is more pleasant, and the sales volume is still stable. Let's not talk about the spices and incense categories, the Fengjia Throwing Flower Letter Fang doesn't know how many streets there are. In fact, there is no need for Qingqing to disclose those legendary incense recipes, one is the name of the Gu family, and the other is that Qingqing blends many fragrances, as for those top incense products, they are customized, as long as someone buys them, it is good to find Qingqing to customize.
This matter is a win-win situation, of course Qingqing can't ask for it, and Lin Yu has no objection. From Qingqing's original intention, it is easier to find Qingqing's father through such a big channel as Huaxinfang.
It's just that the distribution of interests and powers between the two people still needs to be discussed in detail, and there is no rush for a while, there are more important things to discuss. At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and it was about to pass the time of dinner, and Bai Feiruo, a young man with strong blood and blood, had begun to feel a little hungry.
Originally, Lin Yu was very happy when she came back, saying that she would cook some fresh dishes herself, but at this moment she was depressed and forgot about it, and others didn't dare to bring it up, for fear of making her feel even more sad.
However, the chef invited by Lin Yu is still very reliable, and he has already prepared a table of banquets, and he has specially prepared some hot soup to replenish his body on a rainy day. Hearing that Qingqing called people to pass the meal, a table of delicious dishes was soon put on the table.
Looking at a table of delicacies, coupled with the constant laughter of others, even Yin Susu told a joke to save face, Lin Yu gradually recovered his spirits, but he still didn't eat much. Qingqing's rice volume is normal, Bai Feiruo's rice volume does not need to be mentioned, and the rice bucket level, Yin Susu, the two beauties, also have a lot of food, which is only a little less than Bai Feiruo.
Because he and Yin Susu agreed to cooperate and talk about it tomorrow, they were not in a hurry, and after dinner, Qingqing went back to the room to sort out the feelings of the past two days. Lin Yu glanced at Bai Feiruo, and then at Yin Susu.
Yin Susu understood, and said to Bai Feiruo, "Xiaobai, you go for a walk by yourself, Xiaoyu and I will go to the Xiaohua Hall over there to talk about something." ”
Bai Feiruo slandered in his heart, it was raining heavily outside at this time, where to go for a walk? But Yin Susu obviously had something to say to Lin Yu like this, so it was really hard to disturb, so he sat there alone. He has a cheerful personality and is hardly depressed, and he quickly thinks about his itinerary in a few days. Although he is familiar with this road, this time he is not alone, he still has to plan it.
The small flower hall is located at the back, with windows on three sides, facing the pond, and the view is unobstructed. It's raining outside, and the sound of the rain inside is also quite emotional.
"Xiaoyu, what do you want to tell me?" Yin Susu didn't care about any artistic conception, so he went straight to the point when he came up.
"I met the prince there last night." Lin Yu hesitated for a moment, and said directly, "Then I helped His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to find Princess Qinghe, and Princess Qinghe drove me away, and I don't know what the two of them discussed." But the next day, Princess Qinghe's attitude towards me changed, and she even asked me why I didn't marry His Royal Highness the Seventh as a side concubine, and she said it very tricky. ”
"Prince." Yin Susu was not as close to the enemy as Lin Yu, but smiled lightly, "You saw the prince, don't you have any feelings?" ”
Lin Yu took a look at Yin Susu, it is said that Yin Susu has an ambiguous relationship with the prince, does he want to tell the truth?
"Tell me, what's our relationship?"
"Needless to say, the bearing is noble and handsome, I think the prince's eyes are different from ordinary people." Lin Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Although I didn't see clearly at night, those eyes were magical, and people couldn't ignore them at all." ”
"He's a heavy pupil." Yin Susu smiled and sighed again, "Don't blame me for asking more, there was a saying that was very popular in the capital when I was young, and when I saw the prince for life, I can see his demeanor." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Lin Yu didn't have much contact with the prince, and he didn't have any feelings, but he felt that those eyes were unforgettable, and it was more reliable to talk about beauty or anything. "Isn't Xiaobai's appearance better?"
"Xiaobai is still a young man, and his demeanor is far behind. Moreover, the prince was seriously ill, and his appearance was no longer what it used to be, but as long as he wanted to, he could make most women die and live for him. Yin Susu said, while inevitably falling into the memories of the past.
Lin Yu didn't doubt this, although it was only a short contact, the prince left a very good and deep impression on him, and the most important thing was that a vigilant reborn like Lin Yu could hardly raise any precautions when facing him.
"However, looking at His Royal Highness the Prince's body, it seems to be very weak." Lin Yu thought for a moment and said, "When I met him, he was resting against a tree, and after walking for a short distance, he was panting heavily, and his face was very pale. ”
"So it's not a good thing if people are perfect, haven't you heard that God is jealous of talents?" Yin Susu took a sip of tea, "As for Princess Qinghe's opinion, don't pay attention to her, she and the prince are the same." The prince himself is affectionate and willful, and thinks that it is possible that you should marry the seventh prince, and the prince casually mentions it, and Princess Qinghe will definitely support it. ”
"By the way, there is also the matter of the Feng family and Princess Qinghe, it seems that the wind blowing snow should have been punished heavily, but it was gently let go by Princess Qinghe, so that the reputation of the Feng family will not be greatly affected."
Lin Yu thought for a moment and continued, "And I'm still very surprised why the prince suddenly appeared in the garden where the incense feast was held, but he didn't go to the incense feast. It's really strange, the people who were there at that time, except for the perfumer and some vassal and elegant Miss Gongzi and Princess Qinghe, there should be no one else. ”
"I've made a note of this, you don't have to worry about it. But don't talk about it to the outside, especially His Royal Highness the Prince's physical condition, there are a lot of people who want to inquire about this. Yin Susu nodded and said a few more words to Lin Yu. I'm naturally provincial. Lin Yu nodded, "This is not something I am involved in." ”
"Then go and rest, I'm tired for the past two days." Yin Susu urged Lin Yu to rest, and his expression was very gentle and loving. "You and Xiaobai will go out of Beijing the day after tomorrow, and tomorrow the day after tomorrow will clean up your things, there are still many things."
"I'm going upstairs, sister, don't work too long, rest early." Lin Yu nodded, and didn't stay long.
Yin Susu heard the sound of footsteps gradually walking away, and only then did he sigh deeply, and his beautiful face gradually became sad. She took out an old yellow paper cinnabar amulet from a five-colored bag in her sleeve, this amulet was some years old, and there were still a few dark brown stains on it, but on closer inspection, it was dried blood.
She glanced at the worn-out amulet a few times, and then at the dark and rainy night outside, the black crystal-like crystal clear pupils were inexplicably bright, like sadness and resentment, and only then did she whisper out two names, with endless but indescribable pain.
"Ah Ling, Brother Rui."
On the same rainy night, Lin Yu was quiet and sad, Yin Susu was in unspeakable pain, and some people were anxious like ants in a hot pot, such as Yuanjiangliu.
He found that Lin Yu asked him to transfer the letter to Yu Wenyi and he lost it! He was on duty tonight, and after coming out of Lin Yu, he went to the Qinglou to find a good singer to have a meal with, and then went to work in a hurry.
But when he was about to change his clothes, he found that the letter that Lin Yu had handed over to him was gone.
How does this make Yuan Jiangliu not anxious like an ant on a hot pot? He first looked around along the road after entering the palace and didn't see it, and it was estimated that he might have fallen at the singer's place, or he would have fallen outside the palace, but now it's time to change shifts, even if he goes back to the singer to look for it, it's too late.
If it was usual, it would be good to call someone to replace him, but Yuan Jiangliu is the head of the guard, and the one who works with him is in his thirties, and the old lady is not in good health recently, so he has to go back to take care of him as soon as possible, he can't open his mouth. I had to think about talking to Yu Wenyi first, and then look for the letter after work tomorrow.
officially handed over the shift, and sure enough, before Yuan Jiangliu could speak, his colleague blocked him back.
"Yuan Qi, you also know my situation, if it's not a big deal, don't tell me."
What else can Yuanjiangliu do? said that he lost Lin Yu's letter to the Seventh Prince Yu Wenyi? This was not something that could be said publicly, so I had to watch my colleague go away.
Feeling irritable, he only ate a few glasses of wine to avoid the rain, and Yuan Jiangliu quietly went to see Yu Wenyi. Yu Wenyi got Yuan Jiangliu's assurance, and he had been waiting for a long time and took his subordinates.
Waiting for Yuan Jiangliu to jump in through the window, Yu Wenyi said anxiously, "How is it?" Did Xiaoyu say anything? ”
Lin Yu's attitude was very clear and resolute, but looking at his brother's earnest and shining eyes, Yuan Jiangliu was a little speechless.
"Say it quickly."
Yu Wenyi may not have understood what Lin Yu was thinking in his heart, seeing that Yuan Jiangliu was silent, the brilliance in his eyes gradually dimmed.
"Well, Miss Lin originally wrote you a letter, but I forgot it at home." Yuan Jiangliu didn't dare to say that he went to drink flower wine for a while, or lost it in the good singer, or lost it on the way, so he had to say that he forgot it at home.
"What the hell does she mean, what the hell does she say?" Although Yu Wenyi was concerned about the letter, he also knew that Dao Yuan Jiangliu must have talked to Lin Yu and knew what Lin Yu meant.
"She refused." Yuan Jiangliu said bluntly that long pain is better than short pain.
Yu Wenyi listened to it so clearly and ugly, needless to say, his expression was depressed and painful, anyway, Yuan Jiangliu, a big man, was very sad to watch.
"Don't be too sad, I see that Miss Lin is not unaffectionate to you, what she said about the so-called fate is inseparable, probably so." Yuan Jiangliu comforted him and said, "I heard that the emperor and the queen concubine chose the second lady of the Liu family for you, and she is also a rare beauty, with a gentle personality, knowledgeable and reasonable, and with such a family background, it is not bad." ”
"I'm not rare, tell me what Xiaoyu thinks?" Yu Wenyi said eagerly.
"Well, she said, you're not as deep as you imagined, and she's more proud than you think." Yuan Jiangliu thought deeply of this sentence in his heart, and accidentally said it for a while.
Seeing the change in Yu Wenyi's expression, he hurriedly said, "Actually, I think what Miss Lin said is also good, since you can't marry her as a concubine, how can you bear to watch her kneel at the feet of the concubine?" After all, you are a prince, and it is impossible for you to elope like ordinary people, can you abandon everything and go with her? "Remember the fastest and latest text version updates
"How does she know that I am not willing to abandon all this?" Yu Wenyi said loudly. "How can she doubt my heart?"
"My Highness, be quiet, if you bring others in, you will be fine, but I will peel off the skin." Yuan Jiangliu hurriedly covered his mouth, "After listening to her words, I think what she said is quite reasonable, since you have no fate, why force it?" It's better to let go of each other, isn't it? ”
Yu Wenyi was silent, as if thoughtful, Yuan Jiangliu thought that he had listened to his words, so he continued to persuade, "Listen to the advice of my buddy, there is no grass at the end of the world, why bother to love a flower." ”
Yu Wenyi was about to speak, when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, and then the sound of the door opening, "Your Highness, Your Highness, are you inside?" The minions have come to bring you supper. ”
Yuan Jiangliu was so frightened that he hurriedly jumped out of the window, and was almost discovered. Then he didn't have much chance to find Yu Wenyi again that night, in fact, he also felt that what he said was very clear, and Yu Wenyi should be connected. But I didn't expect that in order to prove his love, young people didn't dare to do anything.
On the second day, it was still raining heavily, Yin Susu and Bai Fei left in the rain with breakfast, leaving Lin Yu and Qingqing to pack their bags.
Packing his luggage in such weather reminded Lin Yu of the day he left the Hou Mansion, and he was about to leave Beijing, so he sent someone to send some things to Mrs. Lin, and happened to bump into the two cousins of the Marquis of Zhenyuan and Zhang Wan'er and had another big fight. Zhang Wan'er, who was making trouble, didn't even have time to find fault with the people sent by Lin Yu, who used to be a thorn in her side.
The maid watched a lot of excitement and came back to learn from Lin Yu and Qingqing, and Lin Yu and Qingqing were naturally very popular.
Such a day was quiet, there was nothing else to do, and Lin Yu and Qingqing were ready to rest early. Lin Yu untied his hair, removed the hairpin ring, washed up, changed into a soft white silk shirt, and prepared to read a few poems about rain before going to sleep.
And in such a confused night, someone braved the heavy rain all the way and knocked on the door of Lin Yu's house, and the sound of slamming the door was not too far in the roaring rain, but it made the janitor palpitate
In such a lonely dark night, with such heavy rain, who knocks on the door?
