Lin Ying actually didn't have any problems with his body this morning, but he had worked a lot in the past few days, and his body was a little tired.

It turned out that Chi Hi saw the snowflakes fall on this day early in the morning, and knew that this morning must be very lively, I am afraid that he will be impeached by everyone in front of him, and he will not be able to bear it.

So he was good at advocating, dismissed the servants guarding the door early in the morning, and specially instructed Lilac not to enter the house to disturb him, and helped Lin Ying to report his illness in the morning.

The west of the city is not close to the palace, and every morning you need to get up before dawn to wash and change clothes. No one came into the house to remind him, but Lin Ying slept honestly this night.

It wasn't until the steward came to pass the ceremony that Lilac couldn't make up her mind for a while, and heard that it was Master Shangshu who helped Lin Ying, so she could guess what was going on, so she didn't dare to slack off, so Lin Ying woke up.

The charcoal fire added in the early morning, when the smoke is really thick at the moment, and the ambergris incense is burned in the furnace, which makes people dizzy.

Lin Ying also went out with his clothes on, only to know that it was snowing outside. Listening to his words at this moment, my mind turned around after a long time.

Luo Yan was stunned when he saw him, and had to take a closer look at his face. His hair was combed unevenly, a few strands of hair were scattered, his eyes were red, and there were tear stains on the corners, presumably he had cried last night, and he looked a little sloppy.

"Lord Lin has always been good at talking, but today he suddenly spoke clumsy and didn't say anything, so he was stunned. Lord Chi said this morning that you are sick, isn't it a serious illness, your ears are not clear, your eyes are not clear, and you don't even have a bright brain, right? ”

His serious appearance is joking, so that people don't know whether to laugh or not.

Lin Ying listened to him talk like this, and he had some blame. Thinking that it was a life-saving grace after all, he hurriedly left the chair and fell to the ground with a plop on his knees.

"The lower official is dead, because of personal matters that have affected adults, I am really guilty in my heart, and I ask for forgiveness!"

Luo Yan didn't rush to help him at this time, got up leisurely, walked two steps to the edge of the incense burner, opened the incense powder box and scooped four or five spoonfuls into the stove, the aroma was so strong that he choked and sneezed.

Lin Ying lowered his head, first smelled a burst of mocking laughter, and then said slowly in a leisurely tone: "Guilt? Adults are really not ordinary, and they want to use this guilt to send away their officials? If this person can rely on a sense of guilt in everything, then wouldn't those of us who are officials lose our jobs? ”

The words are very clear, even a fool should understand the meaning of Luo Yan's words, that is, to ask Lin Ying for a price.

Lin Ying naturally couldn't be ambiguous, but he didn't dare to speculate on what he meant, so in order to prevent it from backfiring, he frowned and looked up at him: "What does the adult .......mean?"

Luo Yan's movements suddenly stopped, and he closed the lid of the incense powder box with his backhand, and with a bang, there was a loud sound in the silent room. It was as if the previous long time was waiting for this sentence, and when he turned around, there was obviously a layer of joy on his face.

Bent down to help Lin Ying up, and the two of them looked generally tall standing like this. Luo Yan put his hands on Lin Ying's elbows, bent his waist forward slightly, and slowly put his head to his ear.

Lin Ying was afraid of itching, and the hot breath between Luo Yan's snorts sprayed him, making him very uncomfortable, and he was startled by his sudden intimate movements, so he couldn't help but take a small step back.

"Lord Shangshu....... "I didn't see Luo Yan so close when I was a classmate before, so at this moment, Lin Ying was still very defensive, and his tone was cautious, intending to remind.

Luo Yan didn't want to be rejected, there was a sense of unhappiness in his heart, he turned his face sideways, and Lin Ying looked at each other between them, and his hands tightly tied him into his arms, no matter how hard he tried his strength, he couldn't break free, the smile on his face was very cold, and the corners of his mouth grinned: "Lord Lin is uncomfortable, why can't he keep trembling, or will the official help you go to the inner hall to rest?" ”

Lin Ying saw the eerie look on his face, and thought about the one who had Longyang in the house, his body couldn't help but shrink suddenly, and his voice had already begun to stammer: "If there is something wrong with my lord........... please say it directly, Lin Ying's body can still hold up, if this kind of appearance is looked at, it is really inconvenient!" ”

He had a compromised look on his face at the moment, and after Luo Yan saw it, he was finally willing to give up and not care. He turned his head back to his ear and continued, "Didn't you say that you felt guilty? If you really feel guilty, then you can ask this official to come to the house to live for a while. The official was fined for three months, but this meal was to be eaten. There is no need for delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the coarse tea and light rice are not disliked! ”

Lin Ying sighed in his heart, and thought about retorting: "The lord's mansion is never short of money.......

Halfway through his words, Luo Yan's hand suddenly tightened tighter, and his voice suddenly became very stern: "This official has come to this point, is it possible that the grace of saving Mr. Jin's life is not enough to eat a few meals of coarse grain in your house?" ”

Lin Ying swallowed his saliva, thought about it carefully, and felt that what he said made sense. He let out a long breath and swallowed the second half of the words.

Thinking about the year in office, the closeness of the officials of various ministries held him and guarded him day by day. But as the saying goes, there is no one who walks by the river without getting his shoes wet.

I was so anxious to save my life that day, I didn't think about it for a while, I just thought that Xu is Luo Yan and he helped because he was thinking of the old friendship. Now that he heard this, he suddenly felt that he should have had this idea from the beginning!

Thinking like this, Lin Ying couldn't help but feel a cool breeze down his spine. Luo Yan's hands slowly let go, and he hurriedly pushed Luo Yan away from him with both hands. Then he turned around and grabbed the incense box on the stilt wooden frame and hugged it in his arms, trying to make a barrier between him and Luo Yan's body. I'm afraid he will use the trick again.

However, Luo Yan in front of him was very indifferent, looking like he had already got what he wanted, and his eyes swept away with contempt, as if to say, you and I have a long way to go, and we are not in a hurry for this time. With a flash of his body, he sat on a chair and held his hands in his arms arbitrarily.

Lilacs are quite sharp on weekdays, and they are still the same today. He heard the movement in the house outside, and waited under the eaves for a moment with great eyes, and waited for no movement in the house, and then lifted the curtain and walked in with the hot wine.

Outside, the wind and snow were getting heavier and heavier, and when the curtain was lifted, a lot of snow foam came in with a whistling voice. The room was hot, and before the plain white could hit the ground, it turned into water droplets, shining with candlelight on the ground, colorful and colorful.

The rich aroma in the room choked the cloves and sneezed fiercely, her body trembled violently, and she almost threw the tray in her hand to the ground.

When the two of them touched their hands, Lilac's cheeks suddenly flushed slightly. Looking up at Luo Yan again, there was no expression on his cold face, and there seemed to be a layer of mist in his eyes.

She was stunned, and hurriedly moved away from Luo Yan's arms with a frightened face, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to admit her mistake after respectfully placing the thing in her hand on the rosewood incense table in front of her.

"My lord forgives my sins, and my slave dies!"

She lowered her head and didn't dare to raise her head again, the snow on her clothes melted, and the blue and white clothes were mottled with marks on them, which was very beautiful.

Luo Yan returned to his seat, poured a glass of wine with the wine glass she brought, handed it to the edge and took a sip, the taste seemed to be just what he wanted, the iceberg-like face smiled unexpectedly, bent down and lifted Lilac's chin with his hand and said:

"Ten thousand deaths? You two masters and servants are interesting, and even the words of confession are exactly the same. ”

Ding Xiang pinched her heart, tilted her head and glanced at Lin Ying's direction, only halfway through, Luo Yan's tone suddenly increased: "But this really seems to have been compiled early in the morning, and it is difficult to show sincerity!" ”

She hurriedly tilted her head back again.

The atmosphere in the room was quiet for a moment, and a crisp sound of wood colliding was heard, it was Lin Ying who put the incense box back, and then turned around and came back, and heard his voice.

"The minions in the lower officials' mansions, close to the lower officials, are naturally like learning from the lower officials. Lord Shangshu has to stop in the cold house for a few days, and it is better to get used to it, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable! ”

After saying this, his eyebrows frowned fiercely. Raising his hand, Lilac pulled her to her feet, let out a long breath, and made a look to signal her to go out. seems to understand very clearly that Luo Yan deliberately embarrassed himself for this sentence.

Originally, I still wanted to maintain a neutral attitude, waiting for the two adults in the house to come back and make another plan, so I planned not to squeak anymore, and now everything is up to Luo Yan to decide.

Thinking about it, he was already low to Luo Yan's rank, and according to the rules, whatever Ren Luoyan said, as long as it was reasonable, he would let it go and listen.

This is called the word "respect".

For officials, respect the emperor and respect the superiors. The lower the position, the more people ride on the foot, this has been the atmosphere since ancient times.

But he never guessed that Luo Yan could see through his mind at a glance, and he also found his weakness quite accurately, and easily broke the current deadlock.

Luo Yan is really as he thinks, and he doesn't really mind anything in his heart. Whether it's ridicule or something else, this is said on purpose anyway.

Because he knows the origin of this lilac.

After meeting him at the gate of the palace half a month ago, Luo Yan had already asked someone to investigate the large and small characters in the Lin Mansion carefully. Later, it was discovered that there were only two people around Lin Ying who could be satisfied. One is the friendship of classmates back then, and Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who risked death to save him, was hired.

There is another one, which is this maid who used to perform along the street and was later bought back by Lin Ying as a housekeeper.

Because of this kindness, she is particularly attentive to Lin Ying's affairs. has been in the rivers and lakes for a few days, and the director's ability is also first-class, so Lin Ying trusts her extraordinarily.
