Lin Miao and Zhang Shuru, as soon as they returned to King Lin's mansion, a family member came to report.

"Miss, someone has been waiting for you, saying that I have something to bring to you."

Lin Miao's heart was shocked, she thought, it should be Fan Erye wrote in the letter, the person sent to answer her.

"What does he want you to bring to me?" Lin Miao asked softly.

Zhang Shuru was also a little strange: "What person?" Don't you know? ”

When the family heard Mrs. ask this, he immediately became a little nervous, as if he had not done his job well, and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, madam, I don't know who is coming, I've never seen it." ”

After speaking, he looked at Lin Miao for help.

Everyone in King Lin's mansion knows that the second lady is kind and easy to talk to, and she will not embarrass the subordinates from the thunder, and sometimes the maid and the slave are punished by the master, and the second lady will also help to intercede.

However, Lin Miao's mind was not on this today, she was anxious to see who the person was, and she also asked in passing, "Is it someone you have never seen?" ”

The family was about to cry: Second Miss, don't take you like this, I haven't seen it, I don't know it, can you blame me.

Zhang Shuru looked at Lin Miao strangely, "Guifeng, this famous family in the capital, the family in our house, basically know each other." Who is this person who is going to talk to you today? None of them had ever seen it. ”

"Ahem, it should be some inconsequential person." Lin Miao coughed embarrassedly, and then tried her best to tell Zhang Shuru, "Mother, you just came back, and you're tired." Let's go back to my room and rest, and I'll go see who that person is. ”

"Is that man still there?" Zhang Shuru asked in surprise.

Generally speaking. If you come to the door to ask for a meeting, and the person you want to see goes out again, you will usually convey the words you want to bring to the family or the porter and ask them to tell them.

The family nodded and replied, "Mrs. Hui, that person is still there." Right at the front door, I've been standing for a long time. ”

Zhang Shuru is even more strange now. With a suspicious face, he asked Lin Miao, "Guifeng, are you hiding something from your mother?" ”

Lin Miao saw her like this. knew that if she didn't make things clear today, she would definitely break the casserole and ask to the end.

So, I had to make up a temporary blind "I think this should be sent by Gonggong Li." ”

"Grandpa Li? You mean. The red man next to the Six Princes. Grandpa Li? Zhang Shuru couldn't believe it. However, immediately, she asked suspiciously, "Hasn't Gonggong Li been here, and all of our maids here have seen him." ”

"Oh, mother, you just said that Gonggong Li is a celebrity around the six princes. If there were no six princes, how could he run away from the palace? It must be the little father-in-law of the faction. "Lin Miao is about to flicker. I only hope that Zhang Shuru can ask a few words.

Zhang Shuru asked the family curiously, "Is the person who came dressed as a eunuch?" ”

The family looked at Lin Miao and shook his head hesitantly, "No." ”

"Mother! If you leave the palace for private reasons, you will definitely not be so swaggering. Don't guess, I'll meet him and you'll know. "Lin Miao is simply big-headed.

"Otherwise, call him in, and we'll meet together to see what he has to say to you." Zhang Shuru always felt that there was something strange about this matter, so she was still very uneasy.

"Oops, mother!" Lin Miao stomped his feet, "There are some things that are not good to say in front of others!" ”

After speaking, her face turned red, as if something had been spied on by someone else.

And Zhang Shuru, because of the details of her blushing, misunderstood what she meant.

The sixth prince, Gonggong Li, specially led the talk, and he couldn't let others hear it

Zhang Shuru connected these people, and then thought about the current time, it was before the six princes chose their concubines! Could it be that this is a special dispatch by the six princes to secretly tell Lin Miao what details should be paid attention to in the concubine selection ceremony?

Thinking of this, Zhang Shuru was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and hurriedly said, "Haha!" I see, go see him yourself. ”

"Then the daughter went first, mother, you rest early." Lin Miao gave a salute, followed behind Jiading, and walked in the direction of the front door.

Seeing the person with the words confirmed Lin Miao's thoughts, this person is Guan Yan.

"You're just coming to the door like this? It's too ostentatious, right? Lin Miao looked at his half mask and scolded softly.

"Hehe, what's the matter? Even if they are swaggering, those who know are all from your Lin Wangfu. Guan Yan didn't care.

"This morning, I received a flying pigeon from Fan Erye." Lin Miao was no longer entangled in his appearance and went straight to the point.

Guan Yan nodded, "I also received his flying pigeon message, so I came here to find you." ”

"What are you going to bring me?" Lin Miao asked curiously.

"Actually, it's all Fan Er's idea, he hopes that the two of us can go to the suburban stone room this afternoon, he has something to say to us."

"Looks like he's going to sue us for something we don't know." Lin Miao nodded.

Then, she looked at the family and the maid who were standing not far away, and then beckoned to Mo'er.

Mo'er obediently walked over.

"Mo'er, go out with me."

"Huh?" Mo'er reacted a little, and when she just walked over, her attention was on Guan Yan's terrifying face and his weird mask. At this time, hearing Lin Miao say this, he suddenly didn't understand what it meant.

"I'm going to go out, I don't need too many people to follow, just you." Lin Miao knew that she had to let a little maid follow her so that she wouldn't make the people in the house suspicious.

Otherwise, she would have gone out directly with Guan Yan, it is estimated that as soon as the front foot went out, Zhang Shuru knew that she had gone out.

Coupled with the nonsense she just made up, Zhang Shuru would definitely think that she was going to have a private meeting with the six princes.

Although this is a good thing for Lin Wangfu. However, at this juncture, it is not necessarily a good thing. After all, the concubine selection ceremony is imminent. If the six princes suddenly get too close to a certain famous lady. It's a private date again. If this is known by others, especially by the emperor and the queen mother, he will definitely be angry. canceled Lin Miao's qualification to choose a concubine, maybe it will be full of trouble.

Therefore, at this juncture, Zhang Shuru will definitely not allow Lin Miao and the Sixth Prince to meet in private.

"Yes, miss." Mo'er hurriedly responded obediently, and then hurriedly asked, "The sun is poisonous outside at this time." Miss, do you want me to go back and get a parasol and bring some water? ”

"No need." Lin Miao shook his head slightly. She had a plan in mind.

Guan Yan originally frowned slightly, he didn't like to be followed by an unrelated little girl, but seeing that Lin Miao had made up his mind. It's hard to continue to say anything. His expression softened.

The three of them went out and walked in the direction of the suburbs.

After walking for a long time, after turning a few streets, the flow of people was sparse, Lin Miao stopped, turned to Mo'er and said, "Mo'er, I suddenly remembered, I want to follow this father-in-law." Let's go to Huixian Tower first, I haven't eaten the water soup dumplings over there for a long time. You can go back first. ”

"Huh?" Mo'er could barely believe her ears.

What? Miss is going to Huixian House to eat soup dumplings? Then you don't have to drive yourself back. If you have one more mouth, you won't be able to spend a few more dollars.

However, she raised her head and looked at Lin Miao's cold eyes, so she didn't dare to say more, so she had to nod and bow down, "Yes, the slave understands." ”

Slowly, hesitantly, Mo'er turned around and walked back step by step.

"Wait a minute." Lin Miao stopped Mo'er from behind.

"Miss, do you have any other orders?" Mo'er thought that the young lady had changed her mind and planned to let herself follow her to Huixian Lou to eat water and soup dumplings, and her face couldn't help but show a happy look.

However, Lin Miao's next words completely extinguished her hopes, "After you go back, if Madame asks, where did Mademoiselle go, how should you answer?" ”

"My slave maid said, Miss went to Huixian Mansion to eat water soup dumplings." Mo'er said hesitantly, not knowing why Lin Miao asked like this, and I didn't know if her answer was correct.

"With whom?" Lin Miao then asked.

Seeing Lin Miao's expression stern, and standing beside her, the man wearing a half-mask, also looked at her coldly, Mo'er faintly felt that something was not right, and probably understood that the reason why Miss let herself come out with her was actually to avoid people's eyes and ears and let herself cover up her whereabouts.

So, Mo'er stammered and replied, "Miss went alone." ”

"What?" Lin Miao's voice couldn't help but rise, and her brows furrowed unhappily, why is this Mo'er so stupid? I usually see that her head is very bright, why has she suddenly become so sluggish now, she has hinted for a long time, she has been following her, she must have guessed her intentions, right?

Lin Miao then asked, "Miss went to Huixian Tower alone, why didn't you follow?" Well? ”

Mo'er blushed, knowing that there was a problem with her answer, so she hurriedly changed her words and said, "The slave remembered that the young lady was going with a father-in-law." ”

Lin Miao nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, you go back first." ”

At this moment, Mo'er hurriedly bowed down and trotted back.

Looking at Mo'er's distant back, Guan Yan smiled and said, "You are a young lady, you are really a wretch, if you want to go out, you have to go out so much." ”

Lin Miao sighed lightly, but she didn't admit it, "Everyone is beautiful, you shouldn't have gone out to show your face." ”

"Huh." Guan Yan smiled and said, "It's because we hurt you, and you can't be your girlfriend with peace of mind." ”

Lin Miao frowned, not wanting to dwell on this topic with him anymore, so he only asked, "How to go to the suburban wine shop?" You lead the way. ”

When the two came to the suburban wine shop, Fan Erye was already waiting there early.

This liquor shop, since Pang Kuan disappeared, has been abandoned. No one was running it, and it soon became barren and dilapidated.

The wine flag picked out outside the wine shop was also blown by the wind and turned into a tattered strip of cloth.

Guan Yan looked at the desolate scene around him with a sigh, and said, "This wine shop, no one cares, just like a concubine who no one pampers it, it will soon lose its luster." ”

Lin Miao didn't know how to pick up what he said, so he had to deliberately ignore it.

Second Master Fan was in a good mood, he had already opened a jar of wine, and sat down to drink on the tattered wooden table outside the wine shop.

"Haha! I said Brother Guan, your analogy is not appropriate. From the outside, this liquor shop is dilapidated and barren, but you and I both know that its value lies in its interior, in that place, but it has not lost its luster at all, and because of this, it has become more secretive. ”

Of course, Guan Yan knew what he was talking about, and what he said was the stone room in the wine shop.

"Okay, since you're here, don't waste time, Grandpa Fan, you came to us today, do you have anything to tell us?" Lin Miao didn't have much interest in their meaningless words.

Moreover, what she is more worried about is that she came out alone, although there is Mo'er in the house to help her sloppy, but it is not too safe after all, if Zhang Shuru really wants to find her, she will definitely find out that something is wrong.

Fan Erye smiled: "What's the hurry!" I finally turned out a jar of good wine from Pang Kuan's wine cellar, what's the matter, I also want to get over my addiction to alcohol. ”

After speaking, he poured it down violently, his eyes narrowed with spiciness, and then sighed comfortably, "Good wine!" What a wine! ”

Lin Miaoyi frowned, "Grandpa Fan, none of us are idlers, you are too, you are now on an errand in Gong Chen's Mansion, if you disappear for a long time and don't see anyone, your master is afraid that he will be held accountable, right?" ”

In one sentence, Fan Erye's excitement was swept away.

He glared at Lin Miao and said angrily, "Hmph! Sure enough, when she became a daughter, it was different. You masters, you people, wish that the people below you, like spinning tops, will not stop spinning all day long, and your hearts will be happy. ”

Lin Miao's brows furrowed even tighter, "Grandpa Fan! I see you're already talking about drinking. If you really don't have anything to say, tell us, I'll go back today. I'm also bothering you, next time when there is nothing important, don't fly the pigeon and pass the book, and call me and Guan Yan out. ”

After saying that, he made a gesture and left.

Guan Yan hurriedly stepped forward, opened her arms, and blocked her way.

"Hey, what are you doing? It's finally time to come out, why are you in such a hurry to leave, everyone is here for the same purpose, why are you so breathless. Guan Yan persuaded with good words.

In fact, Guan Yan is not a good-tempered person, but if he revisits his old place and comes to the suburban wine shop again, he can't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Thinking that before this year, he was still with Lan Yuejiao, in this place, found Fan Erye, and got the gold token.

It was also in this place that Lin Miao was taken away and brought back to the dark culinary world.

Unexpectedly, a few years later, I returned to this place.

However, things are not people, and they are no longer yesterday.

"That's it! Little girl, everything is not done quickly, you have to understand this truth, don't be in a hurry to do anything. Fan Erye said as he put away his wine jar.

Lin Miao eased his expression and sat down next to the wooden table. (To be continued......)
