Chapter 145: Empathy
Lin Bixiang walked into Wang Yuanzhao's room and saw that the door was open, so she pretended to be accidental and glanced indoors. Wang Yuanzhao watched her walk over coldly, continued to go elsewhere, and then jumped off the beam of the roof.
While muttering to himself, "Why is she here?" It's good to hide quickly just now, otherwise it would be a trouble for her to see it.
Because of Lin Qiantan, Wang Yuanzhao naturally knew Lin Bixiang's identity, although the two had not met a few times, but this young lady who likes to pretend and be hypocritical can be said to have left a deep impression on Wang Yuanzhao.
Then, he didn't go out, but went to ask the Lin family seriously how many people had come this time.
When he learned that there were only two people, Lin Qiantan and Lin Bixiang, he somehow breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Yuanzhao also had no good impression of the people in the Dongshan Marquis Mansion. Lin Qiantan did not have a good life in the Dongshan Hou Mansion, and the people in the Dongshan Hou Mansion behaved in a way that Wang Yuanzhao didn't like it very much.
In the deep mountains in winter, covered with snow, it was like being isolated from the world, Wang Yuanzhao simply had nothing to do, so he simply called a few brothers who accompanied him back to Beijing, sat down to play cards and eat wine.
Lin Qiantan is there, even if she doesn't come tonight, he has to find a way to get over. I don't know if Lin Qiantan understands the hint in his eyes?
On the northern border, they have buried a soldier and horse, as well as the business in the north, and many details, they also need to discuss.
*
Lin Qiantan and Wei Jiayin woke up after a noon sleep, and it was almost evening. The sky was already dark.
Wei Jiayin didn't seem to know that he was sleeping badly, and when he saw Lin Qiantan getting up, he was tidying up the clothes that had slipped off his shoulders, so he joked as if a wicked person had sued first: "Why did you sleep like this......
Lin Qiantan was embarrassed to tell Wei Jiayin the truth.
When she first met, she didn't see that Wei Jiayin would be a groping pig......
The two of them watched the celestial phenomena, and the snow in the sky was estimated to take several days, and the two stayed there most of the time they were bored. Lin Qiantan simply used this as an excuse to act separately from Wei Jiayin, and took advantage of the fact that the night had not completely descended, and went to the root of the unguarded low wall behind the old tower where many books were stored, waiting for Wang Yuanzhao to come over to make an appointment to meet.
The branches and foliage of the trees are still green, and the trees planted in this White Horse Temple are evergreen species that are not easy to wither. Lin Qiantan was standing there, even if someone passed by there, they didn't notice that she was standing there.
To Lin Qiantan's surprise, when Wang Yuanzhao came over, he was not alone.
Wang Yuanzhao had just shown his head, and before he could speak to Lin Qiantan, several soldiers who were following him were discovered by Wang Yuanzhao.
As Wang Yuanzhao shouted, the men over there who knew that the matter of tracking had been revealed all walked out embarrassed. Several of them had tried their best to suppress the sound of walking, but they were still discovered.
They smiled when they saw Lin Qiantan. There was also a person who spoke out at the beginning: "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, we are our own people, and we won't say anything when we see it." They all thought that Lin Qiantan was the second lady of the Wei family who had a marriage contract with their boss, so they said "sister-in-law" as soon as they spoke.
Lin Qiantan blushed subconsciously.
Wang Yuanzhao just wanted to deny Lin Qiantan's identity, but after thinking about it, he swallowed it back again. He is selfish and doesn't mind misunderstanding people once, and he has a good time. Moreover, it is indeed not appropriate to make any special explanations at this time.
Lin Qiantan also understood what he meant.
Lin Qiantan's reaction was not slow. As soon as I looked at Wang Yuanzhao and the men in front of him, I knew that these were indeed not outsiders.
Seeing the other party calling her sister-in-law again, Wang Yuanzhao looked like he wanted to say something and stopped, so he immediately followed the words, neither admitting nor denying it, and asked several people on the other side to mistakenly think that he was Wei Jiayin.
Several ** were kicked and beaten away by Wang Yuanzhao. Wang Yuanzhao looked back, as if thinking of something, and said with a little lack of confidence: "I don't have the intention to take advantage."
Lin Qiantan replied to him: "I know." In that situation just now, in this remote corner, it is always a little bad for lonely men and widows to be found when they meet. The two have their own marriages, whether she admits it or not, it is very troublesome......
Wang Yuanzhao breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had a little regret. It's not like he hasn't tried to pursue it, but people just don't look down on him.
When he has lived a few famous lives, both of them will have masters again.
Lin Qiantan did inadvertently say a thing that a man should aim for in all directions that day. What Lin Qiantan said, Wang Yuanzhao listened to it.
He followed Wang Shanya and returned to the Wang family, thinking in his heart that one was to recognize his father, and the other was to have the meaning of getting ahead and showing Lin Qiantan.
He looked at Lin Qiantan and thought of something in his heart. With a smile on his face, he said that he had to tell it himself from the north, and he had already thought of other places in his heart.
Wang Yuanzhao looked at Lin Qiantan, who had not seen him for a year, and was happy in his heart. It is said that the eighteen changes of the female university, and Lin Qiantan is the same.
From the young and immature when we met for the first time, to now, the body has grown taller, and the person is plump, and the most important thing is that between the demeanors, the charm of becoming more and more mature has also come out little by little. Wang Yuanzhao hadn't seen her for a year, and when he suddenly saw it, the change was naturally big.
Speaking of which, Lin Qiantan mentioned to him the so-called past and present lives.
If he had heard it before, he still had a little subconscious doubt in most of his beliefs. So now he has listened to the secrets of Lin Qiantan's body 100%. He really wanted to ask if he had ever appeared in Lin Qiantan's other life.
Relationships between people are always approached with holding common secrets.
Lin Qiantan naturally knows this truth. She looked at the boy she hadn't seen for a year, and wonderfully felt that this person made her feel very dear.
What Lin Qiantan thinks in her heart is one thing, but she won't tell the other party the idea in her heart of "why didn't I think you were so kind when I saw you a year ago".
As usual, she kept a strained face and told the other party as seriously as possible what she had done in Beijing this year.
Lin Qiantan is talking, and Wang Yuanzhao is also talking. The two exchanged information, and those things that are inconvenient to write on the letter, so as not to cause an accident once the letter accidentally falls into the hands of others, can be taken out and asked at this time.
Lin Qiantan said and spoke, as if she suddenly remembered that she had written to Wang Yuanzhao and asked about Xia Sanniang before, but Wang Yuanzhao was confused, and he didn't know what Lin Qiantan was talking about?
"When have you ever sent me a letter like that?" Wang Yuanzhao asked strangely.
Lin Qiantan knew that the letter was probably either sent to the wrong place or lost.
She didn't suspect Wang Pu. Wang Pu's personality, unless necessary, would never do such a thing as reading other people's letters without permission. Moreover, he is Wang Yuanzhao's friend.
The two stood in the corner for a while, until they heard movement again. When the two saw that they had said the same thing, they separated. Lin Qiantan still walked back, and Wang Yuanzhao was...... He went to the grove again to look for something to eat.
He was bold and tried frantically, and after coming down a few times, he knew that it seemed that no matter who was squatting in the forest, as long as he didn't do too much, I was afraid that the other party would not do it. As usual, he caught a few fat fish that slept stupidly because of the arrival of winter, and went back to add vegetables to himself.
After he left, the people behind the bushes usually stared at him before they dared to show their heads.
This time, they spoke.
One of them said: "Childe, this is the taste of the mountain water here?!"
Another said: "Who knows? In short, it's not up to our brothers to call the shots, so I'll report it. So saying, he went aside. I went in the same direction I went in before.
*
Wang Yuanzhao said strange things in the forest, Lin Qiantan also listened to him. This White Horse Temple, could it have anything to do with the Xia Dynasty?
Lin Qiantan returned to the room where she and Wei Jiayin lived, in the house, Wei Jiayin was practicing calligraphy there, and when she saw Lin Qiantan coming back, she specially asked her where she had gone.
Lin Qiantan really went to talk to Wang Yuanzhao about something serious. For example, how to transport the grain and grass of the soldiers, whether to change the location of the soldiers, how to deal with the military talismans they shared, where is the whereabouts of the Jinghua Dream Map, and even the temptation of the DPRK and Chinese officials......
But Lin Qiantan inexplicably felt that she had fallen on a moral low point, as if she had been caught by Wei Jiayin.
Lin Qiantan casually found an excuse to fool around, only saying that she was out to wander around. When it snows, there are also some pilgrims who will go out to play in the snow, Lin Qiantan said this, Wei Jiayin didn't doubt it.
The two were talking, and Lin Qiantan mentioned to Wei Jiayin about sleeping in separate rooms by the way: "I get up a lot at night, and I'm always afraid of waking you up."
Wei Jiayin didn't understand the meaning of Lin Qiantan's words, and even said that there was nothing to do. Lin Qiantan was helpless, thinking that if there was no accident in the future, Wang Yuanzhao married the person in front of him, how should he sleep in the middle of the night?
The night before, Wei Jiayin slept somehow, and actually bit out a tooth mark on her shoulder, and Lin Qiantan could even hear her muttering there after taking a bite-
This pork knuckle is too hard, and the cook should be punished.
However, when Wei Jiayin was sober, he was unwilling to admit that he liked to eat things like pork knuckle.
Lin Qiantan just wanted to laugh, thinking about the marriage between Wei Jiayin and Ergouzi, she was a little uncomfortable.
Lin Qiantan's intention to be a female official opened by the imperial court, Wei Jiayin knew about it. Wei Jiayin is different from Lin Qiantan, she never thinks about this, and once said to Lin Qiantan: "I can't agree with these thoughts of yours." I always felt that the words left by the sages were reasonable, and that men and women should perform their own duties, and the division of labor and cooperation would lead to the prosperity of the family. If a woman goes out and there is no one at home, it is difficult for the housekeeper to do all those trivial housework! ”
This can be regarded as a place where Lin Qiantan and Wei Jiayin's values do not coincide.
And this may also be the reason why Lin Qiantan can have a good impression of Wang Yuanzhao.
Faced with the same question, Wang Yuanzhao's answer was completely different from Wei Jiayin.
Although what he said, it also made Lin Qiantan want to beat him: "What's wrong with being lazy?" Wouldn't it be comfortable for my daughter-in-law to go up the mountain to chop wood and go out to make money, and I hired a few servants at home to do things with my mouth? At night, my daughter-in-law was in tears, and I served her from under the bed to wash her feet until ......"
Wang Yuanzhao said this a year ago.
Lin Qiantan remembered that when she saw these two dogs spitting out meat jokes again, she threw herself a box of rouge over, he reached out and took it, and deliberately replied, "Thank you for the reward......
Lin Qiantan suddenly wanted to know what these two dogs were thinking now.
Coincidentally, a group of men over there were also discussing their mothers-in-law in their respective families.
Wang Yuanzhao sat at the top and poured wine for the brothers one by one, but he didn't stop at it. Everyone also knows that he doesn't drink, and it's not strange. Wang Yuanzhao replaced wine with tea and chatted with everyone, and the atmosphere was warm.
On a winter evening, when it's cold outside, men are the most satisfied when they drink hot soup and wine and talk about meat jokes.
It's a pity that in this Qingyan ancient temple, there are all monks......
I can't stand it, it's always the younger youngster.
One of them looked at the older man, and he missed his wife very much at this time, and the young man didn't understand the goodness of the yellow-faced woman: "Harm, Lao Tzu has been out for a year, and he hasn't touched a woman, so he will guard the baby and his mother, if it weren't for the bad weather, who would take care of you men with iron plates on their chests at this time!" The mother-in-law in his family, although she is a little ugly and her chest is a little drooping, she knows the cold and the hot, and cares for him. He also reciprocated by being like a jade, those beautiful girls...... Just look at it at most.
There is a young man who has not married who is envious when he listens to it, but more of them still disagree with what he said to guard his wife: "That's not what I said, the big husband has made great achievements, why should he have no wife?" In his opinion, men are inferior to women, and it is appropriate for men to love their women, but they can't commit it, hanging themselves from a tree.
Everyone insisted on their own words, and they had everything to say, and when they asked Wang Yuanzhao, Wang Yuanzhao and the big man who spoke first looked at each other and smiled, and their souls collided, and there were some words, needless to say, everyone also knew.
A few people started to coax: "Come on, this one here is also a wife and slave!" Several people present had seen "sister-in-law" in the evening, and at this time, when "Wei Jiayin" was mentioned, some people deliberately joked and instigated: "...... Anyway, they all want to get married, so it's better to exercise the power of the husband in advance and cook raw rice first? "The boss is his own mother-in-law, not like them.
The kid who spoke ate Wang Yuanzhao's punch in the head: "You think I am you, and the big military camp tent will do things!"
The man smirked: "The melon girl dressed as a man came to see me, how could I bear it!"
A group of men, talking, laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing and laughing all came out of the courtyard. They are not afraid of being heard, Wang Yuanzhao has sensitive ears, and when someone approaches, he can always attract his attention......
Later, I don't know who started the story, the topic was pulled to Lin Bixiang, and everyone said that the prostitutes in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion under the mountain came up the mountain to worship the Buddha.
Wang Yuanzhao laughed when he heard it, but when he talked about it at the beginning, he didn't tell Lin Bixiang's identity.
Lin Bixiang didn't know that she was remembered by the "military master".
Wang Yuanzhao heard someone next to him say, "Isn't the prostitute who passed by the door during the day?" He smiled and said nothing.
But when someone said that he wanted to take care of Lin Bixiang's "business", Wang Yuanzhao couldn't handle it a little bit, and almost squirted out the tea in his mouth......
Come on, I really asked Lin Bixiang to pick up guests in this Buddhist temple, how good can Lin Qiantan's face be as a sister.
At this time, everyone also knew that this so-called prostitute was actually the "famous" eighth lady in the Dongshan Hou Mansion, Lin Bixiang.
*
The signboard of the Dongshan Marquis Mansion is upside down, and Lin Bixiang is still the niece of the tenacious concubine of the courtier. These two things were placed there, and even those who had some fun were also rested.
Waiting for the commotion until midnight, Wang Yuanzhao drove them to wash, and lay down first, but he was feverish. These damn guys, talking about women again. On weekdays, he is in the midst of the army, and his eyes are pure. At this moment, Lin Qiantan is within his reach!
He said helplessly, it seems that this night, there is no need to sleep again.
Just now, when several brothers mentioned Lin Bixiang, they didn't dare to think about anything, and there was a reason. Others don't know the inside story, don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, even if she only says that Lin Bixiang is a tenacious niece, even if her reputation is gone, others still have to give her some face.
According to Lin Qiantan, this year, there have been a lot of tenacious movements.
The contradiction between Emperor Tianlong and the prime minister has long risen to the point of almost tearing his face, and the tenacity is now quite a bit of momentum above ten thousand people under one person, but he is better at dormant than Yan Shao back then, and he is not easy to shoot.
He made a lot of moves in the court, but he still had time to go to him to calculate and assassinate. What is the picture, not just these things in his hands.
*
Lin Qiantan was also a little sleepless.
Lin Qiantan once proposed to put the talisman on her body for the time being. It was Wang Yuanzhao who disagreed: "I have martial arts, and I have a large number of guards in and out, and I am still tired of coping, and it is even more dangerous in your boudoir, I don't agree."
Lin Qiantan had a headache.
Yin Ren is not a good person, if he is suspicious of Wang Yuanzhao, he will definitely keep doing it to him until he gets the talisman in his hand.
It is impossible to say that he is not worried about Wang Yuanzhao's personal safety.
In addition, there is a person next to her who is not honest in sleeping, and it is even more difficult for her to sleep peacefully.
Lin Qiantan carefully made the quilt for Wei Jiayin, who had slept in the past, and lay closer to her, although there were also charcoal basins for heating in the wings in the mountains, they were far less comfortable than staying in their respective mansions.
Seeing that it was another night of calm wind and moon, but at midnight, there were a few people sneaking into the temple in the woods behind the old tower, they seemed to be very familiar with the temple, they didn't need to light the lamp, they walked all the way, but there was no bump and stumble, and there was no sound.
Unfortunately, Wang Yuanzhao had sharp ears, and although the people outside deliberately lowered their voices, he still heard it as soon as possible.
He reacted quickly, regardless of whether these people were friends or foes, he copied the guys first!
So, in the darkness, he crept up, drew his saber, and even walked over, just about to wake up some of his brothers who were sleeping in the house......
Who knows, those people seemed to be coming to travel, they just walked around the outside of the house, and they didn't enter the house, so they walked back together, Wang Yuanzhao was also confused, not knowing what these people were here for.
In the inconspicuous part of the wall where the group passed, something was contained in a small bag and left there, as if waiting for someone to remember and take a look at it the next day.
Wang Yuanzhao waited for a while, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong here, he asked the little brother who had been woken up by him not to sleep for the time being, and called out the other guys who had fallen asleep because of the strength of the alcohol. He himself is not worried about Lin Qiantan on the other side.
He came out of the dark again, walked quickly, and walked towards the place where Lin Qiantan was, only to see Lin Qiantan and Wei Jiayin, the courtyard was quiet. Wang Yuanzhao looked at it for a while, found that it was indeed fine, and was about to turn around, when he suddenly heard someone calling him under the corridor.
He looked sideways, and it was Ji Yue, who was sensitively aware of someone approaching.
Since there was a trip to the event that there was no shortage of flowers, Lin Qiantan's few girls who knew kung fu around them discussed it, and several people worked in shifts, and one of them must not sleep even at night.
In this issue, it happened to be Ji Yue's turn to be on duty. Ji Yue didn't notice the movement, but Wang Yuanzhao stepped on it himself, making a "rustling" sound, which made Ji Yue determine his position.
Wang Yuanzhao was equally happy when he saw that it was her.
She and Sister Fengguang, he knows what he thinks about him. He also trusted the character of these two people, so he gave them to Lin Qiantan.
At this time, talking about the stories that had to be told between the master and servant, Wang Yuanzhao also said with a big grin: "Are you still angry that I gave you away?" He is not the one who likes red sleeves to add fragrance, his mother's horse leg is in the wrong place.
Ji Yue heard the shamelessness that the old master was familiar with, and it was rare for her to be unsteady enough to snort: "You also want to have a face, they all say that there is no grass at the end of the world, and we two sisters, you don't have to be." This is true.
Lin Qiantan was kind to her subordinates, and she didn't treat their sisters because of their origins. After Mei's matter came out, Lin Qiantan was even more determined to settle their marriage. Lin Qiantan was very generous, and simply asked them to pick their own people. What she didn't fancy, but her sister's scenery, recently changed her way to comfort Zheng Hao, it seems that something is wrong in the past two days.
Only then did Wang Yuanzhao know about Mei.
"What's going on?" Someone was staring at Mei, but Lin Qiantan mentioned it roughly in the letter.
But Lin Qiantan didn't say that when Mei suffered a catastrophe, she had been dead for more than a month.
Ji Yue looked at him and saw that he looked very bad.
