Chapter 163: Ten miles of wounded parting from the long pavilion
When the mother and daughter returned to the Xiao Mansion, it was already evening, and before dinner, they carefully checked the side of the salute, and after seeing that it was all right, Sun called Qian Jun and Zhao Qing.
"The two of you are familiar with the journey, where to start after the journey, where to stay, you need to worry a lot along the way."
"Madame, don't worry, the villain should do his best."
Before dawn, Xiao Fu and his party hurriedly hit the road. It wasn't until five or six miles out of the city that the sky was bright. In the middle of the journey, only the sound of horses' hooves was heard from far and near. After a while, Xiao Yiran, who was sitting in the carriage, heard the sound of horses' hooves and suddenly stopped next to the carriage, opened the curtain, and saw that the person on the horse was Lin Chen, who he had not seen yesterday, Xiao Yiran's heart warmed. Seeing Lin Chen on the horse again, because of the gallop in the cold wind, he was shivering from the cold, and he couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Brother Lin Chen."
"Sister, it's all my fault, I stumbled yesterday because of something in school, and I didn't go home until the evening. I heard my mother say that my sister and Aunt Sun came to say goodbye in the afternoon, and I wanted to go to Xiaofu to see my sister overnight, but it was too late. I arrived at Xiao Mansion early this morning, and I didn't want my sister to leave again. ”
"Brother Lin Chen's day is so cold, it's just a matter if you don't come. My mother and I went to Yanshan Mansion and came back in five or six years at most. ”
Having said that, Xiao Yiran's heart was still very sweet for Lin Chen to be able to come to see him off without fear of the cold.
"My sister is going, I want to think about my body, the winter in the north is especially cold. In those years, I was in Cangzhou Mansion with my aunt and grandfather, and I had a deep experience. ”
"Hmm. Now that we have met, the weather is too cold, Brother Lin Chen should go back early, there is no need to send it again. ”
"When I left in the morning, I had already sent someone to ask for leave from school. Give my sister another ride, and I'll go back. ”
So Lin Chen rode a horse next to Xiao Yiran and his mother Sun's carriage, talking and moving forward.
"After the spring is out in the morning, remember to write to us on the day of the release."
Sun's words were also what Xiao Yiran wanted to say, but he was embarrassed to say.
"Aunt Sun rest assured, Chen'er will write to Aunt Sun as soon as possible, Lord Xiao and Sister Ran'er."
The group walked for a while, the sun gradually rose, and came to a long pavilion (in ancient times, outside the gates of some big cities, there were pavilions built every five or ten miles, specially for travelers to rest, or practice), Xiao Yiran didn't want Lin Chen to send too far, so he shouted the carriage and rested in the pavilion for a while, so as to say goodbye to Lin Chen. Xiao Yiran got out of the carriage, Lin Chen also got off the horse, and the two stood outside the pavilion talking.
"Brother Lin Chen, as the saying goes, if you send you a thousand miles, there is always a farewell. That's it, it's been more than ten miles. After a long time, Aunt Lin and Mrs. Wang will miss it. ”
"Sister don't worry, when you leave, tell your mother to go back before lunch."
When the two of them said this, they couldn't find anything to say. After all, it is a young boy and girl, although there are thousands of words in his heart, but he doesn't know how to express it for a while. After being silent for a long time, Xiao Yiran looked at Lin Chen and said:
"I didn't expect that Brother Lin Chen's painting skills have already entered the house."
"My sister saw that picture? Didn't blaspheme my sister, right? ”
"How could it be, it's so well drawn."
"My sister doesn't paint, otherwise she must be better than me. Listening to my sister's piano that day, it was really like what the ancients said, this song should only be in the sky, and it is rare to hear it a few times. ”
"If Brother Lin Chen likes it, when Ran'er comes back from Yanshan Mansion, he will play it for his brother."
"I'll wait."
After speaking, Lin Chen looked into the distance and seemed to say another sentence to himself.
"If you can hear such a beautiful sound from time to time, what more could you ask for."
Xiao Yiran's heartbeat accelerated again by Lin Chen's words, and a flush quietly flew on his cheeks under the morning sun. looked at Lin Chen timidly, just as Lin Chen also turned his head, the eyes of the two converged. This time, no one deliberately avoided it, and after staring at it for a long time, not only Xiao Yiran was shy and timid for a while, but Lin Chen's face also turned red.
"Sister, will you write to me when you arrive at Yanshan Mansion?"
Xiao Yiran nodded, and turned his face to look at a forest on the side of the road not far away.
"When you settle down, write to me and tell me my address."
Xiao Yiran nodded again. Looking at the frost-stained woods, Xiao Yiran suddenly remembered the sentence in "The Legend of the West Chamber", and in the face of this situation, he couldn't help but subconsciously read out a paragraph:
"Blue clouds, yellow leaves, wild geese fly south from the west. Xiaolai, who is drunk with frost and forest, always leaves people's tears. ”
After reading it, I felt bad. Not only is the meaning of the word too ambiguous, but this is the word of the Yuan Dynasty two or three hundred years later. Afraid that Lin Chen would misunderstand what he wrote, he turned his head and was about to explain to Lin Chen, but when he saw Lin Chen looking at him blankly, Xiao Yiran swallowed the words that came to his lips again. Catching up with Lin Chen's deep gaze again, both of them were stunned.
"My sister's talent and learning, Lin Chen is afraid that it will be difficult to beat the horse in this life."
After coming over for a long time, Lin Chen, who had come to his senses, said sincerely.
"Brother Lin Chen, it's not ......"
Xiao Yiran said this, and stopped for a while. Because Xiao Yiran doesn't know how to explain next, if he didn't write it himself, who wrote it, and where did he see it? Isn't it even more clear?
"Sister?"
Lin Chen didn't know why Xiao Yiran was halfway through his words, but he suddenly stopped, and couldn't help but be very puzzled.
Just when Xiao Yiran didn't know how to answer, the Sun family in the pavilion came up and said to the two children:
"It's not too early, Li just said just now, if you don't hurry up, I'm afraid you'll miss shrinking your head. It's been some time since Chen'er came out, so let's go back quickly, so as not to worry about the old lady and the sister of the Lin family. ”
Xiao Yiran also persuaded:
"Brother Lin Chen, go back."
"Aunt Sun take care, Sister Ran'er take care."
Lin Chen also knew that he couldn't delay Xiao Yiran and his party anymore, and after saluting the two, he got back on his horse, watched Xiao Yiran and Sun get into the carriage, and gradually walked away, until he couldn't see it anymore, then turned the horse's head and turned back to the city.
In the carriage, Sun looked at his daughter with slightly red eyes and asked gently:
"Did Ran'er like Brother Lin Chen?"
Xiao Yiran lowered his head, kneading the handkerchief in his hand, and the blush on his face clearly told Sun's answer.
"Chen'er is a good child, and when we come back from Yanshan Mansion, my mother will make the decision."
"Mother."
Xiao Yiran screamed shyly.
"I'm not even ten years old."
"Hehe, time flies quickly, when we come back from Yanshan Mansion, Ran'er will already be a big girl."
Xiao Yiran only lowered his head and stopped talking. But in my heart, I was secretly asking, what was wrong with me, how could I say that I was also a person with the memory of two lives, how could I be emotionally attached to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy? Since they first met in Jiangning Mansion, they were attracted by Lin Chen's deep eyes, and they couldn't let go of this little boy anymore. Could it be that there is really a fate between him and Lin Chen.
