Chapter 158: Stealing Incense 3
After dinner that day, Qianxi was clamoring to play the leaf card, and Bai Jinyu finally won dozens of taels of silver.
When the time came, Wen Ling put the children to sleep, came over to stir up the situation, and helped Bai Jinyu back to her room to rest.
"I suspect that Qianxi just wants to give me silver, his card is really stinky, and it insults his reputation as a prodigy in Yangzhou." Bai Jinyu joked that he was still unsatisfied with the matter of winning.
Wen Ling pushed the door and helped her in: "His hands are loose, and he has to lose hundreds of taels in Cuizhu a year, but he has also made a lot of popularity." By the way, how did you get your foot injury, it hasn't gotten better after so many days! ”
Bai Jinyu prevaricated: "It's not good, I think it's growing every day, I've gone up and down the stairs several times today!" By the way, how long are you going to stay here? It's not an inn after all, although the owner is pretty good. ”
Wen Ling said: "It all depends on the arrangement of the banquet." ”
Bai Jinyu sat and watched Wen Ling make her bed, as meticulous and considerate as before, she couldn't help but feel a little like a world away, and inadvertently slowed down her voice and said, "Wen Ling, how could you marry Senior Brother Chen of the second line?" I remember that back then, you didn't ask the master to tell you the husband's family name outside the door, and go to see the world outside! ”
Wen Ling made the bed, turned around and glared at her: "It's not all your fault!"
Bai Jinyu: "Me? Is it up to me? ”
Wen Ling said: "Of course, at that time, your life and death were uncertain, if I married Cuizhu like this, who knows if I can meet you in this life!" So I decided to find someone in the five veins to marry, so that I can wait for you to come back! ”
"Wen Ling......" Wen Ling said lightly, Bai Jinyu twitched fiercely in his heart when he heard this, and immediately stood up and was stunned.
"Impressive, isn't it?" Wen Ling reached out and helped her to the bed, took a hot towel to wipe her face, and then took a foot bucket.
After Bai Jinyu obediently soaked her feet in the water, Wen Ling said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Then you should prepare well for this year's exam, strive to return to Cuizhu, and we will meet every day as before!" ”
Bai Jinyu was so moved that her eyes swelled with a layer of mist, she stared at her feet in the water, and said a little discouraged: "Cuizhu's admissions exam is one in a thousand, how easy is it!" And I haven't studied my homework for six or seven years, how can I get in? ”
Bai Jinyu just said casually, but she didn't expect Wen Ling's eyes to widen, her expression suddenly became serious, and she said in a tone like a teaching: "You must work hard!" Otherwise, you will be too disappointed to Wen Yan......"
Bai Jinyu: "......"
Wen Ling sat down on the edge of her bed, and said angrily: "Actually, I have always complained about his indifference and ruthlessness before, and it was only recently that I understood his painstaking ......" Wen Ling turned around, grabbed Bai Jinyu's hand and said: "Wen Yan has paid too much for today, and I now know why he is trying his best to be the chief of the mountain!" ”
Bai Jinyu probably expected something, but still snorted, "For what?" ”
Wen Ling softly landed her gaze on Bai Jinyu's face and said, "He just wants to take you back to the mountain gate!" ”
Bai Jinyu was greatly stunned, Wen Ling's words were not long, but word by word seemed to knock on her heart.
"Jinyu," Wen Ling's hand holding Bai Jinyu tightened more and more: "You're not young, it's time to find someone to marry!" ”
Bai Jinyu was stunned by her abrupt turn, and before she could speak, Wen Ling had already said: "You don't want to look for a foreign surname, just marry Cuizhu like me, okay?" ”
When she asked unexpectedly, Bai Jinyu was not prepared at all, she continued to be stunned for a long time before she reacted: "This...... It's good, but I'm so old, and I don't have a dowry, and now I still have this matter with His Royal Highness the King of Jin, I'm worried that my reputation is too bad......"
Wen Ling listened, patted the back of her hand and smiled, and suddenly leaned forward and said to her, "What do you think of Wen Yan?" ”
"Huh?" Bai Jinyu looked at Wen Ling suspiciously, thinking that she had misheard.
Wen Ling took the trouble to patiently induce: "Believe me, Wen Yan will never think you are old, and he will not ask you for any bride price!" As for reputation, as long as you marry Wen Yan, the dignified Mrs. Cuizhu will have a good reputation! ”
Bai Jinyu listened, was confused for a long time, raised his hand and touched Wen Ling's forehead, and asked, "Wen Ling, are you sick, why are you talking nonsense!" Let's not talk about hemp and don't bother Wen Yan, Wen Yan is a person with a wife! Where are you talking like that?! ”
However, as soon as these words came out, Wen Ling looked at Bai Jinyu and was stunned for a long time.
Stunned by her, Bai Jinyu couldn't help but hesitate and asked, "What, what's wrong?" ”
Wen Ling was confused: "I didn't expect you to say that...... Didn't King Jin also have a wife? So, I thought you didn't care about a man's three wives and four concubines. She blinked her eyes again and asked curiously, "Then where did you plan to put your sister before?" ”
Bai Jinyu was completely stunned this time! Yes, why did she know that she had to avoid other people's wives when she asked about Wen Yan, and why could she ignore Su Lihua's feelings when it was Fengchen's turn? !
In a daze, Wen Ling helped Bai Jinyu dry her feet, helped her hang up the clothes she had taken off, turned around and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, think slowly in the future, let's rest today!" As she spoke, she helped Bai Jinyu fold the quilt and put down the tent.
Wen Ling instructed her before falling into the tent: "You can extinguish the lights yourself, I'll go first!" ”
Bai Jinyu nodded, and then heard Wen Ling's voice closing the door.
Bai Jinyu slumped into the pillow, and the battle began to rumble in her head, and Wen Yan and Wen Ling's words lingered in her ears like lingering sounds.
Suddenly, the tent was blown by the night wind for a while, Bai Jinyu got up and lifted the tent to see, there was still a window that was not closed, so he got up and put on his shoes, and jolted down to close the window.
With a small "bang", she closed the window with both hands, and suddenly her waist tightened, and her back was brought into a broad chest, and the next moment, her neck was pulled up.
"Alas," the visitor sighed softly, and said sadly in her ear, "it seems that my princess is about to be agitated to run away!" ”
"Your Highness!" Almost without looking back, Bai Jinyu knew that the person behind him was Feng Chen, and immediately turned around with joy, but he was firmly buckled by his iron arm and couldn't turn around.
"Your Highness, you hold it so tightly that I can't even turn around!"
"Hmm," Feng Chen's voice showed a little tiredness, and her arms circled her tighter.
"This can't be done, I want to see Your Highness."
"I've been away for a few days, and I don't know how much my princess has listened to them, and I'm afraid that when she turns around, she'll see her as a stranger to me."
