Chapter 149: Writing Poems
"No need, I'll just rest by myself." Lin Shuqing smiled helplessly.
As the sun set, red ripples rippled in the sky, and candles lit up in the house.
Lin Shuqing sat in a row of candlelight, put down the charcoal pen that had already written more than half of it, picked up the handkerchief on the side and wiped it.
And the girls next to them also sat on the side obediently, picked up the pen and ink in their hands and copied the paper left by Lin Shuqing, fascinated.
"Girls, it's time for supper! It's been a hard afternoon......" a woman in a riding suit ran in and shouted to the people in the room.
Lin Shuqing turned her head to look over, it was a girl who was much taller than her.
His hair was tied behind him with a headband, and he looked heroic, holding a bow in his hand, and he was majestic.
The girl also saw Lin Shuqing sitting here, smiled at her and saluted.
"Third sister, you're back! But Mother asked you to invite us to dinner? The girl next to her put down her pen and ink and stretched her waist, but her eyes were full of spirit.
"You pay attention to your manners, don't lose face in front of the guests."
"How so? Sister Lin definitely won't laugh at me! The girl said coquettishly.
"Miss Lin, come with us to dinner, they dragged you to write poems for a day, and it was also hard." Riding girl said.
"It's not hard, it's not hard, it's dark, and I should go back to my own house, so that they don't worry." Lin Shuqing refused and stood up from his seat.
Even though there is a soft cushion on it, it is really tiring to sit like this all afternoon.
In other people's homes, she can't do it.
"Sister Lin, do you want this? Why don't you stay in our house for a few days? Will you come back tomorrow? ”
"Sister Lin, I can't bear you."
Lin Shuqing smiled helplessly, where is this reluctant to her, obviously reluctant to give up the verses in her head.
But no matter what, she can't live in someone else's house, she hasn't come out for so long, whether it's the people in the store or Boss Zhang, she should be worried.
"Tomorrow, I'll come again, there aren't many verses left, I'll go back tonight and finish it, just bring it to you tomorrow."
"Okay, Sister Lin, do you want me to pick you up tomorrow?"
"Then no, I'll come over sooner."
After Lin Shuqing said this, she was busy and asked people to send her out of the yard.
Several girls from the Xie family also sent her to the door, and they were reluctant to leave until they saw her get into the carriage.
At the end of the corridor at the side entrance, an old man and a young man stood there.
The old man has a black and white beard, and the young man wears a crown of hair, with a handsome appearance and introverted atmosphere.
"That's the girl surnamed Lin? Jiu'er looked at her very much. The old man commented without waves.
The young man smiled slightly, and saluted: "My sisters like her because of the poetry book in her hand. ”
"This Miss Lin does have a lot of outstanding features, but there are also a lot of secrets."
"Oh......"
"Father, the spies from Xigui County have come to report. Miss Nalin grew up in the countryside, and she had never heard of any teacher, and she said that this collection of poems was collected by her husband, and she was afraid that there would be fraud. In case of any scheme, the female relatives of the family are afraid that it will be dangerous. ”
"It's better to let my sisters, stay away from her." The young man put away the smile on his face and said with seriousness.
"No, you don't." The old man waved his hand and slowly walked towards the other side of the corridor.
"Do you think there are really such talented people in this world who can write these hundreds of poems by themselves, and each of them can be remembered for centuries?"
"Naturally, there isn't."
The cool breeze of the night blows, bringing the sound of cicadas, and the glow of fires dancing among the flowers, quiet and soft.
"How she came to this book of poems, just ask tomorrow to find out. Being able to hand over such a book of poems to my Xie family is considered the luck of my Xie family. ”
"That Father......"
"What then, don't you want to go back and see what kind of poems Lin Shuqing wrote?"
“…… Father had a point. ”
Seeing Lin Shuqing walk out of the door of Xie's Mansion, the few gray-clothed people waiting at the corner of the street were all relieved.
"Miss Lin has finally come out! It's been a day since I sent this recipe, and I thought that they Xie Fu thought that Miss Lin was a good cook, so she didn't let people out, which scared me to death! One of them patted his chest.
"Don't worry, the Xie family won't do such a tasteless thing, and it's not the one next door who is mining. However, what do you say the Xie family is looking for Miss Lin for? ”
"It doesn't matter why she's there, we'll just report it truthfully."
After the two said that, they hid in the alley and walked away.
The carriage walked for a while before arriving in the courtyard where Lin Shuqing lived.
She had already retired from the house at the inn, and lived in the yard behind the bean flower shop, living with the shopkeepers, but most of the people living in this yard were women, and the men next door were men.
Zhang Liqiang had been waiting at the gate of the courtyard earlier, until now lanterns were lit all around.
When he saw the carriage coming, he greeted him with joy.
"Miss Lin, you're back, I thought you were going to rest in Xie Mansion."
"The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels, but they are still at ease."
Lin Shuqing jumped out of the carriage and walked happily towards the courtyard.
"Girl, stay ......," the maid next to her suddenly ran up.
Lin Shuqing turned around and watched the two of them carry a few painted boxes.
"Girl, our lady said that since the girl does not stay in the house to eat, in case there is no hot food when we go back, let us bring some food for the girl."
Lin Shuqing said that she was not hungry, it was fake, and she was fed a lot of tea and snacks in the afternoon, but she still felt that the food was more filling.
"Then thank you, ma'am, for me." Lin Shuqing said happily.
Let the maid go into the house and put the boxes away, and send them out again.
There were still people waiting in the house, and it was only after they put the things on the table that Lin Shuqing felt the luxury of this big family.
The plates are all lacquerware, and each piece is like a work of art, not to mention the dishes on it.
Colorful, beautiful and delicious, making people move their index fingers when they look at it.
"Have you eaten? Why don't we eat some together? Lin Shuqing said to Boss Zhang and the female guys in the store.
"I've eaten it, girl, you can use it." Zhang Liqiang excused.
"We've all eaten it too, girl."
"After eating, I will eat a little more, I can't finish so much alone."
Lin Shuqing invited several times, and several people sat down together.
After moving the first chopsticks, Lin Shuqing understood what it was like to eat in this thousand-year-old family.
In general, productivity is too backward, and even with top-quality ingredients, the food is just original.
And then there's a little bit of sweetness?
For the rest, she didn't taste anything.
