In the boudoir, incense lingers.

Gao Jasmine was lying on her side on the nanmu chaise longue covered with crimson gold python satin.

"Miss, that's all the slave maid inquired about. Look at ......," Liu's mother said with a lowered face.

"How can it be!"

Gao Jasmine snapped her words, straightened up and said angrily: "How can such a woman be the main room of the eldest brother!" No, I have to go to my father! ”

"Miss!"

Mother Liu was taken aback, and hurriedly stopped: "Eldest Lady will go rashly, what can you say?" ”

"Yes, Miss, it's just something that my mother inquired about in private, and I can't take it seriously. Besides, how can the girl's family meddle in the marriage of the gentlemen in the house? If this matter spreads, the reputation of the eldest lady will not be good. Narcissus pressed Jasmine Gao to the collapse.

Gao Jasmine twisted her body, threw the handkerchief in her hand to the ground angrily, pouted and said, "What if my father doesn't know the inside story and picks this family?" ”

Mother Liu and Narcissus exchanged glances, Mother Liu took Jasmine's hand and said bitterly: "Miss, Mrs. confessed to the master before she died." In any case, you have to find a girl who is the right person for the eldest young master. The old man should take a bite. Therefore, we can't be in a hurry about this matter, and we can't be in a hurry. ”

"Mother Liu is right, when we see people at the banquet that day, we will see what the lord and wife mean, and then we will make plans." Narcissus pinned the broken hair behind her ears for the eldest lady and said softly.

"But what if...... There's a backer behind that house? Gao Jasmine is still not at ease.

"What if?"

Liu's mother sneered: "In case the master, the wife really takes a fancy to the Hou Mansion, mom, I just let go of this old face, and I will make trouble with him." ”

"Mother Liu, who is this going to trouble?"

The curtain is tall, and Ruyu is dressed in a red shirt. Roll in.

……

Gao Zizhan held his cheeks, stared up and down at the person in front of him a few times, and said leisurely: "You, do you have brothers and sisters?" ”

The headless sentence made Lin Xi's heart tremble.

"Back to the eldest young master, the slave is an orphan girl, and her parents have passed away a long time ago."

Gao Zizhan frowned: "You know." How did you get your name? ”

Name?

There seemed to be an electric flash in my mind. Lynsey suddenly realized.

The two of the drunken immortals are both surnamed Lin and one is south. One north, her west, naturally makes people think about it.

Lin Xixin said that you don't care about so many things in the house, you just care about my maid's surname. The eldest young master must have been idle lately.

She softened her throat and said crisply: "The slave maid gave birth a few days ago. My mother died. Dad said that when the mother was angry, she was facing the west, so she gave the slave and maid a Western character. Said it was to keep a memory. ”

Lindsey spoke of emotion. His eyes were slightly red, his mouth was pouted, and his sadness was revealed.

Old things are like clouds. It's a flash.

In fact, Lynsey didn't have a name since she was a child. Since she was sensible, her father called her girl, and often added a forward fall to the word girl, such as a wild girl, a bad girl, a good girl, and the like.

Until the little senior sister entered the door and asked the father to give her a name, the old lady purple face, scratched his head for a long time, and his eyes fell on the black dog Dongdong at Lin Xi's feet, so he had an idea and named the little senior sister Lin Nan. And because she is a few years younger than her senior sister, she has a Western character.

As for the later junior brothers, it was simpler, there were main masters in the south, south and west, and there was no choice, only the north. Therefore, although the junior brother is the oldest, he is the youngest in the Lin family, and even the black dog Dongdong can't compare.

Gao Zizhan saw her eyes move lightly, tears floated into her eyes, slowly lowered her head, and said nothing, looking very pitiful.

Gao Zizhan's heart softened, he got up and walked to Lin Xi, and was just about to put his hand on her head, when he suddenly paused.

What's wrong with you, to behave like this to a maid?

Lin Xi looked up and saw the eldest young master raising his hand, thinking that he was going to beat her, he shrank in fright, held his head in his hands, squatted on the ground, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Young master, if you have something to say, the slave is weak and can't afford to fight, you can spare me!" ”

Gao Zizhan saw that she was as agile as a cat, and felt a little ridiculous, but the smile just floated on her face and disappeared in an instant.

The maid at her feet held her head, and her cloud-like black hair reflected the white and flawless hands, revealing a fragrant neck with skin like congealed cream, shining in the candlelight.

At this time, Lin Xi saw that there was no movement on his head for a long time, and suddenly raised his face to look.

A yellowish, lifeless face appeared in front of him in extreme contrast, as if something had crossed Gao Zizhan's mind, and his eyes were turbulent black.

Lin Xi saw the eldest young master staring at her with burning eyes, and his heart trembled twice. This tall young man's brain twitched, why did he want to beat someone for a while, and look at her like this for a while? It can't be that you've fallen for some evil, right?

"The eldest young master, there is still something in the slave and maid courtyard, if the eldest young master is fine, the slave and maid will go back first." Lin Xi said cautiously.

"Young Master?"

No one answered.

"Young Master?"

Lynsey raised her voice, but no one answered.

Sure enough, he fell into the evil spirit.

Lin Xi didn't care much, and prepared to anoint the soles of his feet and slip away.

"Stop!"

Lin Xi retracted the foot he had just stepped out, turned his face, and smiled very flatteringly: "Young Master, the slave thought that you didn't respond, so she acquiesced." Master, is there anything else? ”

Gao Zizhan took a long breath, with a hint of a smile on his face, and he didn't make a sound, but slowly paced back to the chair, lifted his clothes, and sat down: "You, make me a pot of tea." ”

Scourge!

You have to look so good to pick up your clothes, what do you do? Who do you want to seduce?

Mighty can't bend, men can't be lewd! Linxi, hold on!

Careful liver inevitably trembled a few times, and Lin Xi secretly added oil to himself.

"Young master, tea is here, can I go?"

"What's the hurry? I haven't asked you yet. Gao Zizhan flicked the end of the tea leaves, and said slowly.

What's the hurry? It's been almost half an hour since I've been in this study, and you don't know what you want to ask. Master, if you are refreshed, you will die.

"The eldest young master, the lamp is in charge outside, and the second young master will be looking for a slave in a while, and today it is a slave and a maid to go to the night. The eldest young master has something to say. Hurry up and ask. Lin Xi was secretly anxious, Gao Zizhan sighed, thought for a while, and said: "My study, there is one less maid to take care of, let me tell the second brother, how about you come to my study on an errand?" ”

Lin Xi let out a cold sweat, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Young Master." How can a slave and a slave be. I can enter the eldest young master's study as an errand boy. ”

"I'll give you an extra silver tael in private!" Gao Zizhan smiled and whispered.

"Absolutely never!" Lin Xi waved his hand repeatedly.

"Why not?" Gao Zizhan snorted lightly and asked.

"Because...... Because ......"

Lin Xi gritted his teeth and said once and for all: "Big young master." The slave maid has half a year to go, and she is about to leave the house, and the slave and maid just want to do their job well in this half a year, and they don't want to make any more troubles! ”

"You're going out of the house?" Gao Zizhan was taken aback and said.

"Exactly. The slave maid had the first wife as the master, and signed a five-year deed of sale. Half a year later, the deed expired. The slave and maid can leave the house. If the eldest young master wants nothing to do, the slave and maid will take the first step. ”

With that, Lynsey got up from the ground and was blessed. I quickly picked up the curtain, opened the door, and walked out easily.

In the darkness of the night. Ruyu, who was hidden in the corner, walked out quietly, looking at Lin Xi's back and squinting his phoenix eyes slightly. A sneer rose at the corner of his mouth.

……

The forest flowers are wet with swifts, and the water wattles are long with wind and green.

The early morning rain, mixed with the breeze, fluttered on the car window and fell in the mud.

A slender hand, lifting the curtain, only to see on both sides of the mountain road, green bamboo swaying, clear spring murmuring, birdsong sound, a spring scene.

"It's not easy to pick any day, you have to pick a rainy day, Lao Tzu hates to travel on a rainy day the most."

The curtain fell, blocking the rain from flying diagonally.

The wheels creaked and squeaked for a long time.

"Master, the Yangu Temple has arrived."

"Arrived? So fast! ”

……

Yangu Temple is located in the north of the capital, at the peak of Yan Mountain.

It is the most famous temple in Shen country.

According to legend, before Emperor Taizu of Xin raised his army, he had worshiped the Buddha in this temple, pointed to the Arhats, and occupied an auspicious hexagram.

After Taizu got his wish, sat on the throne, waved the royal pen, and personally gave the three words "Yangu Temple", which was engraved at the main entrance of the ancient temple.

Now, after more than 100 years, this word has been like a wanderer who has been away for a long time. However, the incense in the temple is still vigorous, and every first day and fifteenth day of the new year, a large number of men and women come to worship.

Today is neither the first day of the new year, nor the fifteenth, and every time it rains, there are few tourists in the temple.

When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the temple, it did not stop, but bypassed the trail and headed towards the back mountain. After half a pillar of incense, a delicate house built on the mountain suddenly came into view.

The two vermilion gates were wide open, and the little man at the door saw the carriage coming, and hurriedly greeted it. Picked up the curtain and helped the middle-aged man down.

The man was in his forties, tall, with a long face, sword eyebrows, big eyes, thin lips, and a slightly thin body. A gray robe hung on his body empty, if the wind blows stronger, I am afraid that even the people with clothes will have to be blown down the mountain.

The man got out of the car, and before he took a step, a sedan chair stepped forward.

The sedan chair was changed, and the entourage on both sides touched about ten people, and the sedan chair stopped when it took half a cup of tea.

"Master, the Water Moon Pavilion has arrived!" In front of the sedan chair, an old slave in green clothes bowed down and called.

A deep voice sounded lazily: "Have you arrived?" ”

"Back to the master, Beigongzi has been waiting for a long time."

"Yo, it's early today. Boil water to cook tea, call courtesans to play the piano and chant music. Lao Tzu has been vulgar for a few years, and he has to be elegant. ”

"Yes! "Master," the old man in Tsing Yi said respectfully.

……

Water Moon Pavilion, as the name suggests, should be surrounded by water on all sides, with a bright moon on the head.

As far as the eye can see, there is neither water nor moon, only green bamboo.

A young man in white sat in front of a stone bench, fiddling with a set of broken chess pieces on the stone table.

The breeze blew his robe, his posture was straight, and the whole person was as clean as a white cloud in the blue sky, it was Lin Bei.

The middle-aged man lifted his robe and entered, and before he could sit down, he shouted in his mouth: "This ghost weather, Lao Tzu got up early in the morning, just to talk to you about a game, Xiaobei, your score is also a little bigger." ”
