Chapter 203: Rolling Waves
The next morning, the sun was shining.
Lin Wanwan went to Mozhuju as usual in the warm morning breeze, Lin Haoqi was still waiting for her at the gate of the courtyard at this point, and the brothers and sisters talked and laughed all the way.
Today, Su Zhaoheng went on the expedition, she was not in a hurry, but she woke up early in the morning and received a letter from him, asking her to wait for him in Yiqiu Pavilion out of the city, and he made arrangements. So now she is as usual, and then sneaks out while her brother is working, and calculates that the time can go back and forth before noon.
Lin Wanwan acted according to the plan, and after sending Mrs. Lin out, she went to the flower hall to let the housekeeper take care of the matter, and quietly slipped out of the back door with Xing'er.
There was a very inconspicuous green canopy carriage parked in the alley at the back door, and Xing'er was familiar with the people who drove the car, nodded and said hello to him, and helped Lin Wanwan pedal the car.
The first time she was so bold to sneak out of the door, Lin Wanwan was calm on the surface, but in fact, her palms were full of sweat.
Listening to the carriage passing all the way from Xuanhao Street, and then there was the sound of the empty and quiet only the sound of the wheels turning, Lin Wanwan was able to stabilize her mind.
Secretly lifting the corner of the car curtain and looking at the green scenery around the official road, she exhaled a turbid breath and became a little nervous.
It was just when she began to fidget again that the carriage slowly stopped, and Apricot lifted the curtain on one side to look at it and talked to her.
Lin Wan stood up gently, and then straightened his skirt and put on a hat to block his somewhat excited look.
Xing'er looked at Yiqiē in her eyes, just pursed her lips and smiled, helped her get out of the car and sent her to the outside of the pavilion, and stood far away.
In the pavilion, the young man was dressed in silver armor and a red cloak, standing like a jade tree in this world. The condensed eyebrows, the deep starry eyes, just standing far away have a terrifying killing majesty.
This kind of heroic posture was something Lin Wanwan had never seen before, and she stood outside the pavilion, a little stupid.
She had heard of many of his deeds, he was a young general praised by the Manchu Dynasty and the people, and he was also a god who stood proudly in the hearts of the girls. Now seeing his uniform, she finally understands why Lin Guanying's eyes showed that brilliance back then.
Such a man, just standing here, has already attracted people's hearts. Involuntarily captured.
Su Zhaoheng saw that she was looking stupid, her calm and waveless eyes flashed with the gentleness that could melt the winter snow, and she stepped forward and stretched out her hand to pull the extremely cute woman into her arms.
The cold uniform woke up Lin Wanwan, and she put her hand on his chest, a little unaccustomed to warming her arms without his body.
"Why is this armor so cold? Aren't you uncomfortable dressed, although it looks good. ”
The little girl's coquettish words made Su Zhaoheng couldn't help but smile, how could his little girl be so cute, this was also the first time in her two lives combined that she showed this kind of obsessive gaze, or a focused gaze that could be felt through the hat.
Su Zhaoheng was full of joy that he had entered the eyes of the little girl, and fascinated her so much that she became childish when she spoke.
"You don't feel cold when you wear it." Saying that, Su Zhaoheng let go of her and opened up a little distance, he was afraid of freezing her.
Lin Wanwan blinked, reached out and lifted the white veil of the hat. I want to see him more clearly at this time.
The delicate and delicate face was displayed in front of her, and with an instant separation, Su Zhaoheng leaned over and grabbed her lips directly, and tapped her teeth with her tongue, which made her tremble with her fragrant softness.
After a while, Lin Wanwan was panting and leaning on him.
"I'm gone, remember to take care of yourself." Su Zhaoheng reluctantly rubbed her moist red lips with his fingertips, pecked again, looked at her deeply, and put down the white veil of her hat.
I had expected that the two would only meet for a moment, but I really wanted to see him leave. Lin Wanwan still subconsciously grabbed his hand, like a wayward child who didn't get what he wanted.
Su Zhaoheng paused, took a deep breath, and resisted the urge to reach out and lift her hat again. He turned around and hugged her gently. "I remember the dream you said, I will be careful, I will definitely come back well and marry you!"
Lin Wanwan's tears welled up in an instant, nodded silently, and then pushed him away. Two steps back. "I only wish you well, your heart is like my heart, and I live up to my love."
Lingering sorrow, Su Zhaoheng's heart was pinched fiercely, and finally he pulled the person two steps away from him into his arms according to his own wishes, and looked for her soft lips to entangle for a long time before letting go.
"I really don't want to leave." With a sigh, Su Zhaoheng wiped the corners of the little girl's eyes from the corners of her eyes, "But if you don't leave, your father-in-law is afraid that he will turn the horse's head and come over to arrest him in person." ”
The resentful words made Lin Wanwan laugh, and the coquettish young man glanced at him. "Go quickly, remember to send the letter back, I'll wait for you in Beijing."
It is true that he can no longer be reluctant, Su Zhaoheng nodded solemnly, this time without a little hesitation, strode out of the pavilion and turned over the war horse, leaving only Lin Wanwan with a resolute back.
All the qiē must be counted back from this battle, and he is only allowed to succeed and not to fail!!
***
After sneaking back to the house through the back door, Lin Wanwan went back to the yard to clean her face first.
In the end, I didn't hold back my reluctance, and I cried for a long time in the carriage, and now my two eyes are so red and swollen that I can't see anyone.
Coriander knew that she was sending her off, and she was not surprised to see her like this, so she helped her apply a warm cloth to her eyes, and then reapplied makeup before giving her a gift.
"Miss, when you left the house, Aunt Jiang came to look for you, and I said that you had to be empty."
"She has a tailwind ear clairvoyance, and she will come to me when I leave the house, isn't she still angry?" Lin Wanwan straightened her clothes, and there were thoughts in her eyes.
Coriander smiled slightly, "If she is really so bright, she won't come to Ran Jingxuan." ”
Lin Wanwan also smiled, "Also, it seems that there are still a lot of broken mouths in the house, I have to take care of this family for a short time, you can pull out two of them to make them look long." ”
"Whoa." The coriander was crisp and retreated, and officially established his authority for his master.
Looking at the approaching meal, Lin Wanwan went to Mozhuju again.
Her grandfather recovered, and her father stayed at home for five or six days and also took a vacation, and went to court as usual, and now the trivial matters of Mozhuju during the day also fell on her. If she doesn't keep an eye on it, I'm afraid that the three who only work hard will forget to eat.
instructed the maids to set the meal, Lin Wanwan went to the study and called twice, before asking the brothers to put the books down.
Lin Haohong, who was silent during the meal, rarely opened his mouth and talked about the marriage of her cousin Lin Wanyao.
Dongfu has already begun to prepare for the marriage in May in the middle of the month.
Although Lin Wanyao is a concubine, she grew up with the Xu family, and the Xu family did not have a daughter, so it was good to treat her two concubines. In order for Lin Guanyao to be decent, he was too busy to get married. It rained a few days ago, and after the wind blew and I was tired, I fell down and started the heat.
Lin Haohong also knew that his little cousin had to worry about the affairs of the house, but he couldn't bear to let his mother work hard with her sick body, so he wanted Lin Wanwan to go to the East Mansion to help take a look.
After listening. Lin Wanwan didn't know if she was flattered, but she still wanted to laugh at her cousin for being stupid at reading.
She is only thirteen years old now, how can she help these marriages.
It can be seen that her brother secretly gave her a look, and she had to laugh and say: "I didn't know that my aunt was sick, I really shouldn't have it." Big brother, you can prepare for the exam with peace of mind, I'll go and see the eldest uncle. ”
Seeing her respond, Lin Haohong breathed a long sigh of relief, the gloom between his eyebrows dissipated, and then he hurriedly said: "The third sister is not busy, let's eat first." ”
"The eldest aunt is sick, and the house is preparing for the eldest sister's marriage, I still go now, just to see how the eldest aunt tastes now, those people don't be busy and negligent. Brothers, use slowly. Lin Wanwan smiled and got up. Leave a word and go.
Lin Haohong was a little reluctant to go, but Lin Wanwan had already gone away.
Since his father was beaten by his grandfather, he was trembling every day, for fear that his grandfather would take him to Xifu to teach him a lesson, and even his mother would not let her go to Xifu. Now that Dongfu is not able to go on a business trip, he has to come and invite him with a thick face.
"It's mine, it's not mine, if you want to say it, you should have eaten it." Lin Haohong stared at the empty position and muttered.
Lin Haoqi laughed, "Big brother, who is going to blame himself, it's just the meal." When Wanwan arrives in Dongfu, will she be hungry when she arrives at the eldest uncle? Don't think about it, it's better to eat quickly, and I don't know when my grandfather will go home to check his homework. ”
Hearing this, Lin Haohong said that he wanted to be bad. I picked up the bowl again, hurriedly finished eating the first one and went back to the study.
Lin Haoshu on the side was used unhurriedly so far, and only after Lin Haohong left the table did he whisper to his brother: "Second brother, do you want someone to prepare some pastries for the third sister." ”
Lin Haoqi was slightly surprised in his heart, and quickly resumed his usual words: "It is indeed necessary to prepare some, the taste of the eldest aunt should be very light during her illness." You've got a heart. "It's rare that after Aunt Wu's incident, his third brother can still think about Wanwan.
Lin Haoshu smiled and continued to eat slowly.
Lin Wanwan arrived at the East Mansion and saw that it was really busy, and the servants in Xu's courtyard were still in a hurry to get in and out, and the food on the table next to Xu's hand was a chopstick that did not move.
The next person reported that the third lady of Xifu had arrived, and Xu was surprised and delighted, and was busy standing up to greet her.
How could Lin Wanwan let her get up, she stepped forward in three or two steps and helped her to sit down again, and looked at the table. "Auntie, this is so busy that you don't even have time to eat? It's not good for your body like this. ”
When it came to the body, Xu immediately understood. "I'm sure your eldest brother said something in front of you, why did that kid let you come over!"
"Big brother, I can't see that you are too tired and don't pay attention to your body, he is filial, you don't say anything when you are sick, but you are ready to hurt me in vain."
Xu Shi listened to her witticism, and smiled with a pale sickly face. "It's just a small illness of wind and cold, and it will be fine in two days, I'm just worried that Yao'er's marriage will leak, so I'll keep an eye on it."
"Then you have to take care of yourself first, so that you can handle the family affairs of the lobby sister properly, you listen to my advice, eat well and recuperate first. This is to marry our Lin family's daughter, it should be them in a hurry, we will come steadily" Lin Wanwan touched the edge ......of the bowl with her hand, and seeing that the dishes were still warm, she sent the silver chopsticks to her.
was forced to eat by a little girl, Xu couldn't laugh or cry, but he was very moved.
If she gets a daughter, she will be like this niece, not from her own belly, no matter how close she is, she always dare not show this kind of straightforwardness in front of her because of her identity.
"Okay, okay, I'll eat." Xu Shi was feeling the awe of the concubine in his heart, took the chopstick, and thought about something: "This point, you are useless." ”
Saying that, Xu asked the maids to add more dishes and chopsticks, she remembered the preferences of this niece, and asked the kitchen to make fried eel, sweet and sour lotus root, and spicy hoof tendons A few dishes that do not need to be too time-consuming, Lin Wanwan used it enough, but the dim sum that Lin Haoshu reminded him to prepare became a supper.
Xu's heart is also transparent, knowing that Lin Wanwan did not simply persuade herself to take care of herself, most likely her son asked her to help with the marriage of her concubine.
It is indeed difficult for Yu Li to come out of the pavilion for women to come into contact with these, but Xu thought that if she got married in the future, she was afraid that she would have to help her in-laws, so she compromised a way to let her only accompany her on the side and listen to the instructions on how to make a statute. Lin Wanwan also knew Xu's kindness, remembered it humbly, and persuaded Xu's from time to time to drink medicine and rest.
Xu is side has someone to talk to, Xu Shi didn't feel tired of working every day, and he was no longer anxious to try to get things done in a few days.
After coming down like this, Xu's body was obviously recovering after two days, and the blood on his face was good, so Lin Wanwan relieved himself of this burden and no longer stayed in Xifu all day long in the morning and evening, but only picked up the meal and then accompanied Xu's to eat.
After four or five days, the main courtyard of the East Mansion and Lin Guanyao's courtyard can be said to have taken on a new look, with new paint, new decorations, and a dowry list and wedding utensils ready, and Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Another day will be the day of the man's big gift, and he will inevitably start to hold the banquet of the day.
Lin Wanwan can be regarded as a successful retirement, and she has learned a lot of practical things, so she really wants to organize a wedding now, and she must be presentable.
In the past few days, running back and forth between the two mansions, many things in Shangshu Mansion have been lost to coriander, since the day of the coriander in front of a few old servants who have cleaned up people, all of them see her are polite and polite, and no longer dare to embarrass themselves with their qualifications and decency. Today, Lin Wanwan was idle for half a day to make the previously unfinished robes, and Coriander took the opportunity to report on the important trivial things these days.
"Aunt Qing has been moving frequently recently, Lang Zhong said that it is okay, it is better to recuperate, Aunt Jiang is also safe, but it is only four ......"
"Miss, there is your letter."
Coriander was about to get to the point, when Apricot came to the room and presented a bulging letter with both hands.
Lin Wanwan was immediately overjoyed, hurriedly took it, and carefully opened the mouth with the scissors on the side, and the first thing that fell out of it was a bunch of pomegranate flowers like lanterns, red and bright, and not crushed at all.
The faint fragrance of flowers lingered on the tip of her nose, and Lin Wanwan's eyes were full of surprise, and then she couldn't wait to read the letter.
It was Su Zhaoheng's letter to say his whereabouts and report his safety, the number of words was not much, but the words were full of affectionate thoughts, Lin Wanwan wanted to cry and laugh when he saw it, and looked at the vigorous handwriting to think about his heroic posture before departure.
Seeing this situation, Coriander lowered her head and thought, there is no way to turn over the wind and waves, and it is okay if she is not polite, and she can't ruin Miss's current mood. Siding, he pulled Xing'er and quietly retreated, no longer bothering her...... (To be continued.) )
