CHAPTER XXII
Lin Nan shouted in the room, "What are you talking about outside? "The old mothers didn't dare to respond, and they all scattered. Pen Ă fun Ă Pavilion www. ď˝ď˝ď˝ď˝ď˝ď˝ ă info Lin Nan thought about it in his heart, and guessed it, and suddenly felt infinitely troubled, and his face changed again and again. Jing Nu stepped forward, hugged his legs, shook and shook "babbling", seemed to be unsteady on his feet, sat on the ground with his ass, covered his face with his hands, and his shoulders kept twitching. Lin Nan was so distressed, and hurriedly helped her and said, "Did it hurt to fall?" Is! You can't speak, how much does it hurt to fall? I'll rub it for you? â
Jing Nu's handle opened open, revealing a bright smile. Lin Nan waved his hand: "You tease me?!" "Turn your back and sulk. Jing Nu shrank to the corner of the wall, and was silent for a long time, Lin Nan finally raised her eyelids to take a look, and saw that she was fiddling with a white jade wrench in her hand, so she said in a rough voice: "What are you playing again?" Jingnu seemed startled, raised his hand, and swallowed the wrench. Lin Nan was taken aback, so anxious that even his voice changed, and jumped over to grab her shoulder: "Are you crazy?" Seeking death? Spit it out! Swallowed? I'm going to find someone, I'm-"
Jing Nu opened her hand, and the white jade wrench was still lying quietly in the palm of her hand. Such a naughty and gentle smile flashed in her eyes, so she buried her face in Lin Nan's arms, "babbling and babbling" and coquettish.
Lin Nan came back to his senses at this time, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, so he could only hug her and sigh: "Got it." Got it. I won't lose my temper with you in the future, and you don't scare me. â
Shizumi nodded and smiled. The little girl knocked on the door and brought in the lunch box. Lin Nan opened the box and saw that it was a bowl of white rice, a plate of fragrant sesame oil mixed with a thousand zhang, a plate of cold-cut sea sting, a bowl of fried vegetables, a bowl of small vegetarian chicken, a plate of shredded puff pastry duck, a bowl of beef radish, and a bowl of whitebait and lettuce soup, all of which were very refreshing, and four other desserts were added, which were pea yellow, begonia cake, rabbit boat point, and bean paste steamed bun. Lin Nan first put the steamed bun in front of Jing Nu, and then turned his head and asked, "Qian'er Jing Nu had a hard time chewing that hard rice, and I ordered it to be burned, why didn't you listen?" â
The girl hurriedly smiled: "This is the rice left by Zhaojiazhuang in Xiaozha Village in the south, don't look at the steamed grains are distinct and seem to be hard, in fact, the entrance is extraordinarily soft, young master, you can try it." â
Lin Nan just that's it. Jingnu has eaten one bite at a time. Lin Nan looked at her with a small face. Although there is still no blood, I have a little spirit, and the white is also white and crystalline, and it is no longer as scary as before.
Lunch is over. The girl came up for Lin Nantong's head and wide clothes, and waited for a nap. Jingnu is a child's nature, he doesn't like to take a lunch break, and he goes out to play. Lin Nan knew that Cousin Yun didn't like to take a nap back then, so her mother and nurse made a rule. made her feel very miserable - so he didn't force her to be a slave, but only told her to be obedient, don't fall, and go to bed early at night.
Jing Nu teased the flowers, stirred the grass, bullied and bullied the little insects, and gradually played into an empty house, got a box on the cabinet, opened it, and there were two lacquered wooden dolls in it, one holding the piano and the other fighting the sword, although the color was old. It's still beautiful. Jing Nu's eyes jumped, sat down, put the two dolls in front of her and looked at them for a long time, smiled, held them in her hands, called one to a little body, the other to take two steps forward and swayed, making a conversational motion, her own lips trembled slightly, as if she had given them a line.
Lin Nan got up from a nap and found the door. That's what I saw.
He jumped in, interrupted the silent puppet show, snatched the doll, and said, "Where did you come from?" Jingnu was scared. Raising his eyes to look at him, the black and white eyeballs are like clear and clear black chess pieces raised in a white water plate.
Lin Nan suddenly felt ashamed in his heart. What kind of anger is he angry about? What is this about Jingnu?
How would she know how he cherished these two dolls last summer, which were given to him by Cousin Yun in the past. At that time, they were still young, and Cousin Yun made him cry again, in order to coax him. played with him to grab sandbags, deliberately lost to his pair of dolls, and relayed to him the storytelling stories of the rivers and lakes that the older family members heard, saying, "...... This is 'one piano and one sword to go through the rivers and lakes'. Hey, little man, this sword doll looks like you. Xiao Xiao Sanshao smiled with tears: "I'm like a sword doll, who is the piano doll?" You? Cousin Yun's face turned red, and she raised her hand and said, "You are messing around, watch me ignore you!" â
So, last summer, after thinking about it for a long time, Lin Nan finally wrapped the pair of dolls heavily, wanted to take them to Jiangnan, and quietly asked: "I am a sword doll, are you willing to be this piano doll?" If Cousin Yun blushed and nodded this time, he would officially invite his parents to propose, like the hero and beauty in the story, and spend the full moon.
Who knew that when I went to my uncle's house, I only got the news that Cousin Yun was seriously ill. Lin Nan sat on the edge of the bed, listening to her difficult breathing, everyone was stupid, and burst out with a sentence for a long time: "...... You are not allowed to breathe. When he said this, it seemed that he was back to the days when he was a child, and Cousin Yun's eyes lit up and nodded slightly.
The next day, she died. Lin Nan fell ill and almost died in the boat, but later met Jingnu, accompanied her to survive, returned home, put the doll box aside, and never touched it again-
How does this know that Jingnu knows?
Lin Nan reassembled the doll, put it on the top of the cabinet, looked at Jing Nu, and couldn't help but say, "I survived to save you, do you know?" â
Shizunu didn't speak.
As for Mrs. Lin's side, she had already told the master about Lin Nan's attitude, and complained with a smile: "You knew that this kid wouldn't agree." â
Master Lin sighed: "I don't know, I just want to test it: he is going to have a temper, we are afraid to worry more in the future; Now that we have a reasonable refusal, let's pay attention to some of the ladies in the future, I'm afraid it's okay. â
Mrs. Lin nodded: "Exactly, thanks to the blessing of the Bodhisattva - ouch, I made a wish to the Ciguang Ling Temple in the south of the city last year, and I wish to the Great Spirit in the temple, and now Nan'er has been in good health for almost a year, and I should return my wish." I'm going to get ready. â
The incense candles and the silver rice for alms were all prepared, but Mrs. Lin was infected with the wind and cold, and she was lightheaded, and she couldn't go out for a while. Lin Nan looked at his mother's haggard appearance, his filial piety rose, and said, "Mother, you can rest." I will return the vow I have made for me. â
The girl's mother was busy packing up the clothes for Lin Nan to go out, and put on a new Qingluo robe, a silver-black brocade forging gown on the outer hood, a coral green jade tapestry around his waist, a black lacquered headscarf on his head, and incense in his sleeves. Lin Nan was already impatient and asked: "Do you know that the first thing in this wish is the heart, the sincerity is the spirit, and the external objects are secondary-have you done it well?" All right? Then I'm gone. â
Standing up, he suddenly saw Jingnu smiling and entering the door, changing into a green shirt. The jade belt, the black hair was neatly combed and hung down on both shoulders, and this figure made Lin Nan suddenly fall back to the time and space of a long time ago.
At that time, he was like a spring spring. After a few days, he quickly raised his body, and excitedly urged his father and mother to go to the second uncle's house, so that he could show off in front of Cousin Yun: "Do you still call me a little dwarf?" Look, how tall I am now! â
But he stepped through the door. Suddenly, I saw an emerald green figure. The hateful young lady had grown into a green-shirted girl, sitting quietly in front of the window, her face was still vaguely the same, but her eyebrows and eyes had a more charm, she looked up and saw him, smiled, and said, "Little man, you are so tall now!" - What are you looking at me for, what do you want to say? Lin Nan was stunned for a long time, blushing. Grab the door.
Since then, Cousin Yun has been more than just a cousin in his heart. But why didn't he say it sooner? If you ask your father and mother to propose marriage earlier......
Lin Nan sighed and held Jing Nu's hand: "Let's go." â
The steps of wishing to give alms are a little annoying, and the three young people simply handed everything over to the subordinates and the temple blessings and assistants in the temple to do, and after worshipping the Buddha statue, he went to the back mountain with Jingnu to play. Jing Nu looked at a green mountain forest, saw nothing before, and was so happy that he was fascinated, and flew like a bird out of the cage, picking up a few stones. Looking up, he and Lin Nan have been separated. She didn't panic, she stood and thought about it, and walked along the mountain road.
Although no one knows. But she knew that she would definitely find him, just like last time, even if she only had one breath left, even if she had to borrow someone else's body, even if it was in a strange and painful way, even if she couldn't say it in this life. She's sure she'll be able to find him.
And Lin Nan suddenly felt that there was no Jing Nu around him, so he was startled, ran around the main roads and small roads, and asked one or two monks who were sweeping the mountain, but there was no trace. He was sweating on his forehead, and suddenly heard the sound of small feet behind him, and turned around, but no one was seen; Walking forward, the sound of footsteps followed. He was first overjoyed: Could it be that Jingnu is following behind? Another annoyance: this girl is getting naughty day by day, and she has to teach her a good lesson.
There was a corner in front of him, Lin Nan went to hide behind the rocks first, and when he heard the sound of footsteps gradually approaching, he jumped out and shouted: "You are really itchy!" â
"Ouch", the person who came fell to the ground in fright. When Sanshao looked at it, she was not a quiet slave, just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, wearing a rose-red shirt, a honey-yellow pleated skirt, a daisy silk skirt, a collared green gauze cape, a duck egg face, single phoenix eyes, and her cheeks were red with fright, which was very moving.
Lin Nan glanced at it, knowing that it was not a Jing slave, he was very embarrassed, and he was busy apologizing deeply, and he was very panicked. Fortunately, the girl was generous, did not cry, did not make trouble, and returned the courtesy, and asked softly: "This ...... Could it be that the third young master of the Lin family in Shishifang can't do it? â
Lin Nan agreed. The girl smiled and said, "I have heard that you have a scholarly lintel, a little prestige, and your poetry is very familiar." The slave family has a problem, and I want to ask the young master, but I don't know if it will be successful? â
Lin Nan was curious, so he asked questions. The girl said that this question is not something that can be said by waiting, and it is easy to say it unless he promises to solve it. Lin Nan is young and competitive, so he is naturally full of promises. The girl took out the spirit scripture from the incense cloth bag, soaked it in the stream, and pointed: "Only in this book, listen to the pheasant dove with your ears, and Yuan Qin Ruan asks the rhyme." What should be the explanation for this? â
Lin Nan was stunned, and he didn't have a clue. The girl showed a mocking look, pointed at him and smiled: "Crazy is ridiculous and empty talking, and it is a great time to be a child." I also know that there are faces in the world, and buy a whip to go home quickly! â
Poor Lin Nan had suffered such ridicule, his face turned red at the moment, and he couldn't say half a word. The girl Gu Zi left, and he could only walk back to the temple step by step. Jing Nu had already brought the monks in the temple back to his room, and was waiting for him to come back with a red face and red ears, and cast a concerned gaze. San Shao quietly told her the matter, gritted his teeth and said: "I don't know who this female devil is, but it seems that she is following me and deliberately making things difficult for me - can you understand the poem she scolded me?" â
Shizumi shook her head. Sanshao explained to her: "'It's an hour' is an allusion: Kong Rong is a child prodigy, and others praise him, only one guest said, 'It's small, it's not necessarily good', which means that he was smart when he was a child, but he may not be great when he grows up." Kong Rong immediately laughed at him and said, 'Then you must have been very smart when you were a child?' This girl used it contrary to her intentions, and wrote a poem to scold me for being arrogant, and when I was a child, I was praised for being smart, but when I grew up, I was nothing, and if I wanted to lose face, I should run home and hide quickly. But I didn't offend her much, huh! Repeatedly scrutinizing the whole poem, he slapped his thigh suddenly, "Oh my God." I offended her, I was deeply offended! â
Jing Nu hugged his left arm, and Lin Nan patted his head with his right hand: "This poem is a hidden poem!" Connect the first word of each sentence: Mad boy also. This is a verse from the Book of Songs. The puzzle she came up with in front of her is the so-called 'only in this book, listen to the pheasant dove with your ears, and Yuan Qin Ruan asks the rhyme': first wet the spirit scripture, homophonic poem (wet) scripture, and the pheasant dove chirps 'Guanguan'. Add an ear, it is 'Zheng', that is, Zheng Feng; Yuan, Qin, Ruan, and Wen are the thirteenth rhyme of the Pingshui rhyme, and they refer to the thirteenth chapter of Zheng Feng in the Book of Poetry, but it is not exactly 'Crazy Boy And'! Its chapter is called '褰襣', and the content says, 'Zi Hui Si I, 褰裳 wading Qin.' If the son does not think about me, will there be no one else? Crazy child's madness also (jĹŤ). 'It's a girl who wants a boy not to be too confused, if he doesn't want her, she has someone else to pursue - which woman do you think I'm not paying attention to these days? Didn't you just reject the young lady of the Tao family! I didn't expect her to come and scold me. This spicy energy is like Cousin Yun. â
Shizunu shook his head violently. Lin Nan thought for a while and nodded: "Well, the second uncle's sister's training 'a woman is virtuous if she is not talented', and Cousin Yun doesn't learn to chant poems and endow these, so she can't compare to Miss Tao's spicy and sour - hey, I've heard that the Tao family hires tutors for the children in the family with a lot of money, but I didn't expect to cultivate a female talent." Can you believe that? â
Jingnu's expression was gloomy. Lin Nan kept muttering for a few days: "We refused to return to the family, and people don't know how to laugh at the Tao family." When Miss Tao seized the opportunity to scold me, she didn't know how to relieve her hatred. Fortunately, after talking for a few days, I also left it behind. Still taking care of Jingnu ********, Jingnu's expression became lively again.
Unconsciously on August 18, Lin'an City enshrined this day as the birthday of the tide, and the Qiantang River was crowded. There are rolling wood, water puppets, water swings and other skills that make the tide, and there are singing and selling tea, watching arrows hanging sugar, fortune-telling and holding lamps all kinds of tricks, laughing and noisy, and the colorful curtain is spread out of brocade, so lively. The singer was singing Mr. Su's Yang Hua lyrics:
"It looks like a flower or a non-flower, and no one regrets to follow the teaching. Leaving home behind, thinking about it is. Ruthless and thoughtful. Haunting and soft intestines, sleepy and delicate eyes, wanting to open and close. The dream follows the wind for thousands of miles, looking for a place to go, and is still called by the warbler. I don't hate this flower flying away, I hate the West Garden, and it's hard to embellish the red. Xiaolai has rained, where is the trace? A pool of crushed pinch. Three points of spring, two points of dust, and one part of water. It doesn't seem to be Yang Hua, a little bit is, away from people's tears. â
Jing Nu's eyes moved over, and Sanshao was afraid that she would get lost again, so she held her hand and was still not at ease, so she repeatedly said, "Don't let go of my hand, huh?" Remember? Don't let go. â
Shizumi smiled.
Lin Nannan took her, squeezed to the front of the embankment step by step, and faintly heard a sound like thunder in the sky, and a white line at the junction of water and sky gradually pushed over, as if thousands of white ducks were swimming. People shouted: "It's coming, it's coming!" This year's tide is bigger than usual. â
Lin Nan heard a "pout" from someone next to him, and the voice made him turn around and see that person, it was not Miss Tao. Lin Nan nodded to her, but Miss Tao turned her face; Lin Nan squeezed two steps towards her, wanting to say hello, but Miss Tao simply walked back. Lin Nan Daqi, he still doesn't believe in this evil, is he really so unpopular?
He pulled Jingnu to chase back, squeezed through the layers of people, moved two feet to the embankment, listened to the screams behind him, and looked back, the line of white ducks did not know that it had become a monstrous wave, and he crushed his head and face.
Before people knew what was going on, they were thrown into the water. Jing Nu drank a belly of water and rolled away with the waves, holding Lin Nan's hand with his left hand.
She caught the rocks on the shore and climbed there. The momentum of the waves was very strong, and Jing Nu felt as if one of his left arms was pulling a thousand catties of burden, and his bones seemed to be broken, so he smiled bitterly. Oh my God, doesn't it mean that people are buoyant and lighter in water? How to pull this person like pulling a pig. Fortunately, she knew that she could hold on: no matter how painful it was, as long as her soul did not give up, her body would definitely support it.
The tide finally receded, and the rescuers rescued the three of Jingnu - yes, three people, Lin Nan still held a person in his left hand, and that was the eldest lady of the Tao family.
Jing Nu's expression darkened.
She held on to his side as promised. She didn't let go of his hand as promised. He, on the other hand, held the hand of another person.
Shizunu's body fell to the ground.
Lin Nan looked at this little body covered in bruises and muttered, "Oh my God." "How can you believe that this little girl has just saved two people from being swept away by the waves? He hurriedly asked someone to quickly carry Jing Nu away to find a doctor, and yelled at Miss Tao: "What's the matter with you?" The temple followed me, and today I came back here? â
Miss Tao's cheeks flushed angrily: "I just went to incense that day, and I'm really sorry to come here again today!" Do you think I'm rare to track down someone like you?! This kid in your house saved me, and I will find a way to repay me. But you are in no way qualified to insult me, and our Tao family! â
When saying this. Her voice was very cold, but there was fire in her black eyes, and her shoulders and back were straight like a pine and cypress, Lin Nan was so stunned that she forgot to be angry.
in the crowd. A man watched Jingnu being carried away, looked at it a lot, and no one paid attention.
This tide that has not been encountered for decades swept away all the people at the front end of the Qiantang embankment, and no one survived. Lin Nan returned home and said to his mother, "The child met Miss Tao today. Nodding to her, she thought the child was a madman, and retreated in horror, and the child chased after her to apologize, so that she could avoid the front of the tide. Miss Tao is half of the child's life-saving benefactor, and asked her mother to prepare a gift to thank her. I heard that we rejected their matchmaker before, and the people outside laughed at the Tao family very badly, so please be careful with this thank you gift. â
Mrs. Lin agreed. Lin Nan sat on the edge of Jing Nu's bed, not knowing what else he could do. I could only murmur, "Don't die." You don't want to die. â
Jing Nu felt that he was sinking in the boundless darkness, and his body was covered with powdered pain, and it was better to let go, and there would be no more memories, entanglements, and pains when he let go. But the man's voice through the darkness insisted, "No." Don't die, you don't die. â
It's not fair. He could force her like that. It's just so unfair. Jingnu grunted in his throat.
Lin Nan jumped up: "Awake?" Doctor, she's awake?! â
The doctor did not dare to answer. The little girl was covered in wounds, and he had been medicated. But when I checked the pulse, I found that she was in a mess, she was already a dead vein, and she probably should have died a year ago. How it can be delayed until now is a mystery at all. He didn't dare to say it, he just threw the bait indiscriminately, and he didn't know what the effect was. Listening to Lin Nan's question, he could only laugh.
Jing Nu had already opened his eyes, and his dark eyes looked at Lin Nan, as if reproachful and smiling.
The doctor's entourage, a middle-aged man with a weathered face. Suddenly knelt down on the ground: "This child is the daughter of the villain, please be gracious to the young master, and let the little one redeem her." â
That day, the Lin family heard a bizarre story:
This man is a native of Qingbo County in the south, named Wu Baokang, and the youngest daughter of the family. This girl was also poisoned in the turmoil of the assassination of the Xijia industry in Huozhou, and Manshu had not arrived at that time, and she couldn't afford to be as sick as Lin Yun. Everyone thought she would choke, but she suddenly disappeared. Her mother's grief was excessive, her nerves were irritated, and she recuperated at home. Wu Baokang came out to visit his daughter, and that day he was going to the Qiantang River, and he encountered the tide of murder, and suddenly saw that the seriously injured and unconscious girl seemed to be a woman, but he heard that it was the Lin family, he didn't dare to make a mistake, and quietly inquired about the situation nearby, knowing that the Lin Mansion had invited this doctor, so he begged the doctor to accept him as an entourage, come in to help, and look carefully, and finally determined that this was his daughter at the moment when Jing Nu opened his eyes, so he asked him to redeem Jing Nu and take it home.
Mrs. Lin called the three young men over and earnestly discussed, "Then, let them go back, right?" This kind of strange character, in fact, is not very good to keep......"
"No, I like Jingnu." Lin Nan huffed.
"Don't be willful!" Master Lin pointed outside and said sharply, "There is a father who has been wandering for a year outside, and there is a mother who is sick with a daughter in the distance, do you want to detain their daughter?" â
And so it was decided. Jing Nu was not bought by the deed painting in the first place, and the Lin Mansion not only returned her to her father for free, but also gave her a lot of things.
Wu Baokang actually muttered in his heart: He was not stupid or dumb before. But this Jingnu couldn't say half a word, and when others spoke to her, her eyes flashed brightly, and she didn't know whether she recognized her father or not. Is this a baby? It's a shame that he remembered the birthmark on his daughter's body, and asked Mrs. Lin to check it for Jingnu, which was not bad at all, otherwise he would really not dare to lead people away.
Jing Nu left, Lin Nan's heart was empty, and he found a doctor to treat the disease, wanting to reward him with more silver and thank him for saving Jing Nu's life. The doctor kowtowed and said that he didn't dare to do it, because the external elixir was usually not matched, and it was brought by the Tao family.
To be exact, it was Miss Tao who quietly brought it to him.
Lin Nan was very surprised, and ordered someone to quietly repair the book to thank Miss Tao. Miss Tao replied: She didn't dare to climb in front of the Lin Mansion to ask for credit, just to repay the life-saving benefactor and do her best, without mentioning the word "thanks". Lin Nan sighed in his heart, and after that, he exchanged some letters, and felt more and more that this Miss Tao was polite, polite, hearty and generous, and occasionally revealed some gentle feelings, but a little bit of the shadow of Cousin Yun, which was very exciting. He was still hesitant, but suddenly thought: Cousin Yun was because I was indecisive back then, and I didn't get married until I died. If I had asked my father and mother to get married earlier, I would have at least had a few days to get married. So this marriage was delayed by myself, and now how can I make mistakes again and again, mislead others and myself!
Thinking so, he no longer hesitated, and went to his father and mother, saying that he would agree to the proposal of the previous Tao matchmaker. Mrs. Lin was not happy. Lin Nan insisted on his opinion, saying "This is my life-saving benefactor", and used a lot of means, forcing Master Lin to agree in the end, and the matchmaker helped the two families discuss marriage.
People said that the Tao family climbed the high branch this time, but Mrs. Tao had a different opinion, pulled her daughter to the side and whispered: "At that time, your father wanted to propose marriage, so I didn't agree." If you think about it, our family has a lot of money, but as the saying goes, it takes three lifetimes to know how to eat and wear. This Lin Mansion has been an official for several generations, and the practice of a plate of vegetables and a piece of cloth is very particular, you go in, can you handle it? â
Miss Tao thought for a while and said with a smile: "That's good, our children are born to know how to eat and wear." Mrs. Tao said angrily: "Flim! Miss Tao smiled: "Don't worry, Mom, I still have to think about it before I make up my mind." â
Two days later, Miss Tao quietly invited Lin Nan to the lake. Sanshao stepped into the painting boat, only to see a square scarf robe, extremely handsome and handsome men holding a cup leaning on the side, looking at it, Fang recognized it as Miss Tao, changed into men's clothes, and set off the cheeks of peach blossoms and the eyes of the black phoenix. Lin Nan's heart jumped, and he asked with a smile: "How-"
"The younger brother invites the elder brother to come, and there is only one thing to ask for." Miss Tao cut off his words and said lightly.
Lin Nan touched his nose: "Don't ask the question again, can't I bow down?" â
"Not a mystery. I think you can answer. Miss Tao looked at the lake Qingbo, "The so-called 'seeing a gentleman, Yunhu doesn't like it', do you say she 'Yunhu doesn't like it'?" â
Lin Nan's expression became serious, and he sat down opposite her gently, looking into her eyes: "I don't know? â
Miss Tao smiled slightly: "I have heard about your reputation for a long time, and I actually admire you very much-I like you." Even when I run to scold you, I still like it. â
Miss Tao said so calmly and seriously.
Lin Nan was stunned, and his face turned red. (To be continued.) )
