Chapter II

A white-haired old man of about sixty years old was sitting on a wooden stool playing the huqin, the charcoal-black strings drew a messy curve with the swing of his right arm, and the other rough hand was deftly beating up and down the inner and outer strings.

Lin Elegy has a good impression of the sound of the huqin, or more precisely, there is a sense of familiarity. She couldn't help but approach the old man, only in a blink of an eye, the hustle and bustle of the city seemed to be imprisoned outside her ears, and only the sound of the crying huqin entangled and swirled in her mind.

"Miss, Miss, the silk is spread over there, let's hurry over, don't delay the work, I'm afraid that the master will blame." Tassel was in a hurry, and pulled Lin Elegy's hand, trying to drag her over.

"Huh? Okay, let's go over then. Lin Wangge came back to his senses at this time, and turned to the silk shop at the other end. The hawkers' cries came and went, and through the bustling crowd, Lin and the two came to the silk shop.

"I don't know what fresh styles Master Yu has made in the store, but there must be lotus flowers and peonies, otherwise I must pester Master Yu to draw two pictures for me." Lin Elegy said to the tassel.

"Yo, it's the eldest lady of the Lin family, please inside, does the young lady want to cut two new clothes today?" The guy in the store immediately greeted him.

"No, we just want to see the new handkerchief style in the store." Lin Elegy replied.

The master and servant walked to the cabinet, and the neatly folded handkerchief was placed in the transparent glass cabinet, where the flowers of the four seasons bloomed all over again, the sunny and energetic primrose yellow, the warm and fresh grass green, the quiet and elegant dogwood powder, and the enthusiastic and dazzling flame red...... Lotus and peony also happen to be available.

"Miss Lin, do you look at the handkerchief?" Master Yu walked out of the inner room. "Well, Master Yu, are the manuscripts of these two lotus flowers and peonies still there, can you borrow them for a few days? I want to ask Aunt Liu in the house to embroider for me, she embroiders well, of course, the fabric used to make handkerchiefs is still bought from you. Lin Wangge asked Master Yu.

"Yes, Miss Lin can look at the contemptible paintings, the lotus is elegant, the peony is warm, these are two incompatible flowers. You go there and pick out the fabric to make a handkerchief, and I'll go to the back room to help you find the original manuscript, and I won't delay your time. Master Yu replied. Okay. Lin Elegy smiled happily.

There are many materials for the silk shop, and the styles are also varied. Lin Elegy picked his eyes, although there were tassels urging on the side, but it still took half an hour to come out of the shop. Before leaving, Lin Elegy did not forget to look at the sun to carefully appreciate the two manuscripts, and the light and shadow were outlined between the thick and heavy colors, the proud and noble lotus flowers were vigorous and upward, and the delicate and feminine peonies were lingering.

"Miss, this day is already so poisonous, we have to go back quickly." Tassel is in a hurry. "Good, good, good, my little tassel." Lin Elegy rolled up the borrowed manuscript and held it in his hand while responding to the tassel.

The black skirt swayed in the wind, the two twisted braids touched and flicked, Lin Wangge's cheeks were already slightly hot, and the broken hair on his forehead was blown by the sultry summer wind and pressed down by dense beads of sweat. In this way, the master and servant shuttled through the crowd one after the other, and rushed towards the Lin Mansion.

"Ahh Suddenly, Lin Elegy, who was hurrying away, collided with a man in a white suit, and Lin Elegy fell headlong on the man's body. Seeing this, the man immediately put down the suitcase made of the old rattan in his hand, and vigorously caught Lin Elegy, who lost control and threw himself up. Lin Wangge was frightened and heard the sound of wave drums swaying back and forth in his ears.

"Whose lady is this? Why is it so reckless to walk. The man said angrily.

Lin Wangge only felt that his cheeks were getting hotter and hotter, and hurriedly pulled out of the man's arms: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was in a hurry to go home, so I ran into you in a hurry." ”

Lin Wangge didn't dare to look up at the man, he lowered his body and bowed several times, and at this moment, another man's voice came from behind him: "Nanjun, what's wrong, is this young lady okay?" ”

Before the man's voice fell, Tassel suddenly shouted happily: "Young Master, Miss, it's the Young Master." ”

The man was about to step forward, but when he heard the sound of the tassel, he stopped, turned his gaze to the tassel, and asked suspiciously, "Are you a tassel?" Is that an elegy? Then he turned his gaze to Lin Elegy in front of him.

This is Lin Wangge also turned around and looked at Lin Bangyang: "Brother, is it you?" I'm an elegy. ”

"Yes, yes, I'm my brother, you see, I was still buying the candy man you like to eat just now, and you turned around and you came to me." Lin Bangyang was holding an amber clear sugar man in his right hand and wanted to hand it to Lin Elegy.

Twenty-two-year-old Lin Bangyang is more handsome and tall than three years ago, dressed in a gray suit, his eyebrow bones are extremely high, and under the thick and slender eyelashes are a pair of bright eyes, the nose is angular, and the contours of the mouth and lips are very clear.

Lin Bangyang walked to Lin Elegy's side, an unusual light flashed in his eyes, and handed the sugar man in his hand to Lin Elegy.

Lin Elegy took the sugar man: "Brother, the lotus pod in the lotus pond is about to ripen, when the time comes, you can row a boat and take us to pick a coco?" ”

"Miss Lin, shouldn't you call me when you go to pick lotus flowers?" The man behind him spoke loudly. Lin Elegy was puzzled and turned to look at him again. "When you were eight years old, you cried and shouted and dragged me to your lotus pond, and asked me to swing the boat to the middle of the pond to accompany you to pick lotus flowers." The man laughed badly.

"Oh, I remember, are you the little brother who accidentally rowed the boat to the middle of the pool and never rowed back to shore?" Lin Elegy did not show weakness.

The man smiled awkwardly, "Yes, yes." Hello Miss Lin, my name is Gu Nanjun, my family lives in the east of the city, and your brother and I are classmates. Only then did Lin Wangge see Gu Nanjun's appearance clearly, his skin was very white, his eyebrows and eyes were very close, his pupils were deep, like a pool of unfathomable spring water, the bridge of his nose was smooth and straight, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, and he was looking at Lin Wangge seriously.

Lin Bangyang also stepped forward at this time: "Elegy, Nanjun is a top student from medical school, and he will be a doctor who can perform surgery in the future." ”

Gu Nanjun smiled humbly: "How can I compare with you, a genius in chemistry." Lin Bangyang also smiled: "Let's go, let's go back together, and Nanjun will go back with us." It's been three years, and I haven't been home for three years. ”

When Lin Elegy and the four of them walked to the door of the Lin Mansion, Master Lin was already waiting at the door, followed by Steward Wu and a few long-term workers. The long-term workers saw that the young master and the young lady hurriedly stepped forward and carried the luggage brought by Lin Bangyang and Gu Nanjun into the mansion.

There are two large orange lanterns hanging at the door of the Lin family's house, the red satin whiskers at the hem are fluttering in the rolling heat, the door painted black is very open, the two cool bamboo curtains hang on the door from top to bottom, and a road paved with blue and white stone slabs leads directly to the main hall, and the maids and old mothers on both sides of the road are neatly lined up, welcoming the eldest young master home.

"Dad, I'm back." Lin Bangyang ran to Master Lin excitedly, and the thoughts of a three-year farewell welled up in his eyes with warm tears.

"Okay, okay, just come back." Master Lin looked at Lin Bangyang with pity, "Bangyang has grown a lot taller, and it looks better than before." ”

"Brother, brother." Lin Bangtang suddenly ran out of the door, and the little man who was not tall ran straight towards Lin Bangyang.

Lin Bangyang affectionately pressed his hands under Lin Bangtang's armpits, picked up Lin Bangyang and turned around several times: "Our family Bangtang has grown so tall, he is a little adult." ”

"Bangyang, who is this?" Master Lin asked.

"Oh, that's Uncle Gu's son Gu Nanjun, he came back with me today." Lin Bangyang put down Lin Bangtang and replied.

"Uncle Lin, my father specially asked me to stop by and see you for him when I passed by the west of the city." Gu Nanjun stepped forward.

"It turned out to be Young Master Nanjun, you haven't been to my mansion for more than ten years, and now you have grown into a decent young man." A hint of joy flowed from the corners of Master Lin's eyes......
