After a while, it was Chen Jianzhi who took the lead in breaking the silence, smiled, raised his eyes and said to Hongfu: "You have stood for so long without saying a word, it is really rare to have a good temperament." ”

Hongfu didn't expect that he had already discovered himself, his face was hot, and he immediately narrowed his eyes, and barely let out a smile, which was a response.

Seeing this, Chen Jianzhi smiled disapprovingly, and continued to lower his head and rummage through the medicinal materials.

Hongfu settled down, stepped around the bamboo frame that was placed on the ground indiscriminately, and was used to set aside the small plaque, stopped in front of Chen Jianzhi, and bent her knees to bend his blessing to him: "The slave maid disturbed Mr. to rest today, and I hope Mr. will forgive me." ”

"Little things." Chen Jianzhi shook his head absently, patted his hands stained with herbs, threw off the curled wide sleeves by the way, turned around and walked to the only neat corner of the courtyard, and sat down on the stone bench: "Have you settled him down?" ”

"Yes." Hongfu followed, standing beside him, "According to Mr., what is wrong with that person's body?" ”

Chen Jianzhi groaned slightly, looked at Hongfu and asked without answering: "Before Concubine Su asked you to come over, did you have any other words?" ”

Hongfu thought for a while and said truthfully: "The slave and maid remember that there should be no more." ”

"That's ......" Chen Jianzhi squinted thoughtfully, and unconsciously reached out and touched the tea cup on the stone table.

Hongfu saw it in his eyes, and before he could pick it up, he stopped in front of him and tested the temperature on the wall of the tea bowl with the back of his hand.

The tea in the tea bowl seemed to be cold and hot, and Hongfu frowned and replaced it with a hot one. Fang Cai handed it back to Chen Jianzhi's hand and said gently: "The slave maid looks at the thin clothes on Mr. 's body, let's drink hot tea." It can drive away the cold. ”

Her series of movements are very smooth, without the slightest unnaturalness.

Chen Jianzhi's expression was mixed with a little imperceptible slight stunnedness, raised his eyes and glanced at Hongfu, then took a few sips with a smile, and said with a bow: "Thank you." ”

Hongfu looked at him with a smile, her eyes were gentle and peaceful, but the hand in front of her abdomen was faintly trembling. I tried my best to suppress the indescribable satisfaction and throbbing in my heart.

After a while, Chen Jianzhi put down the cups and bowls, pursed his lips and smiled: "Can Miss Hongfu do me a favor?" ”

Hongfu looked at him with some confusion. I nodded involuntarily.

Chen Jianzhi was not polite, and pointed to the messy courtyard in front of him, with wooden frames, bamboo baskets, sacks, and disorderly courtyards, a pair of peach-like eyes bent like a crescent moon, and he smiled extremely brightly. "You saw it too. My yard is very chaotic on weekdays, and even a place to settle is difficult to find, if it is an ordinary person, it will be, but later I am afraid that there will be a distinguished guest to visit, if so, I am afraid that it will be a little rude, and ask the red lady to help me clean up one or two. ”

Hongfu didn't expect to say this, she was stunned for a moment, raised her eyes and looked around. It was true that he couldn't stand it, so he said yes.

Ling Fuzhong. The game continues.

The room was quiet, and Su Wanqing quietly observed Ling Yunxuan and Qiu.

The Ling family is in their generation, they can be regarded as rich in heirs, Ling Wandao alone has three sons and two daughters in this room, not to mention Ling Wanrong, who is ranked fourth in the clan, and Miss Ling, who has already married, and there are three young masters in the long room, Ling Dagongzi, the second son and the fourth son.

Among them, the eldest son of Ling and the second son of Ling are all born of Mrs. Ling, and the fourth son of Ling was born to a concubine, but the concubine was weak and went very early, so the fourth son of Ling was also raised by Mrs. Ling since he was a child, and there was not much difference between him and his parents.

To say that Mrs. Ling sent Ling Yunxuan as an accompaniment, she was afraid that Ling Wanrong and Su Linlu would get too close in private and damage their reputation, but the other two sons were just as close to Ling Wanrong, plus Ling's second son liked to play chess, and Ling Sigongzi was the same age as Su Linlu, so it seemed that it was more suitable than Ling Yunxuan to choose one of them.

Besides, Ling Yunxuan has already come out of office, and he is responsible for affairs, so there is really no need to get involved in these children's plays.

Especially after Su Wanqing saw Ling Yunxuan constantly glancing at Su Linlu and showing admiration, the doubts in her heart became more and more intense.

On this day, the two sides were still evenly matched in the chess game, and Su Linlu narrowly won one set, and the second set began.

Su Wanqing couldn't figure out a clue about the Ling family for the time being, and she was really interested in playing chess, so she thought about an imminent matter.

Fortunately, she didn't speak, and others didn't notice that she was distracted.

A second hour flew by, Su Linlu and Ling Wanrong played three games in a row, except for a draw, Su Linlu defeated Ling Wanrong by a slight advantage, Ling Yunxuan on the side smiled with his palms, and nodded again and again in admiration: "Brother Lin Luxian is really extraordinary in chess, and he has saved face for several brothers in my family." ”

"Everywhere, it's just a few children." Su Linlu shook his head and smiled very humbly.

It's just that the difference between the two is not big, but it has aroused Ling Wanrong's fighting spirit more and more, Ling Wanrong stared at the chessboard and studied it for a moment, pursed her lips thoughtfully, raised her eyes and looked at Su Linlu and said: "I will lose in the last game because of a mistake, Su Gongzi will help me review, let me ponder for these two days, let's play two more games another day, okay?" ”

Su Linlu smiled at her and agreed very simply, "Miss Ling Si is so attentive, it seems that I can't slack off." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, bowed their heads and set up the chessboard.

This night, Su Linlu and Su Wanqing had dinner in the Ling Mansion before getting into their respective carriages.

Before leaving, Mrs. Ling also asked the maid to present two extremely rare Xiangyun yarns, which were counted as a return gift to Xiao Jiang's family, and invited Xiao Jiang's family to come over with Su Linlu as a guest five days later.

In this way, the two can be said to have really talked to each other.

In the moonlight, the two carriages drove out of the Ling Mansion one after the other, and after passing through the alley, Su Wanqing lifted the curtain and called, "Brother, stay." ”

When the coachman of Taiwei's Mansion heard his young lady's voice, he immediately stopped without Su Linlu's orders. As soon as the curtain flickered, Su Linlu poked his head out of the curtain, looked at Su Wanqing and smiled, didn't ask questions, just waited quietly for her to approach.

When the two carriages were next to each other, Su Linlu smiled at her, and said with a look that saw her through: "Qing'er, is there something you want your brother to help?" ”

When he asked like this, it seemed that Su Wanqing was suspected of going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and she wanted to stay in front of outsiders, she could calmly talk about it, but now she was facing her loved ones, how could she be embarrassed to do it.

couldn't help but feel a little cramped in Su Wanqing's heart, and glanced at Su Linlu, not knowing what to say next.

Su Linlu saw her tongue knotted, laughed, leaned forward, and flicked it on her white and smooth forehead, "When you were playing chess, what were you thinking about?" The tone was quite complacent, and she looked at the dumb Su Wanqing and continued: "You are my sister, others have not paid attention, can I not pay attention?" (To be continued......)
