Xu Luochen came in from outside, and when he saw their displeasure, he said loudly, "It seems that we didn't come at the right time!" I said why didn't the prince come to see us off, it turned out that he fell in the gentle township! ”

"I know it's not the right time to come!"

Xiao Muning and Lin Qingwan stood up, led them to take a seat in the front hall, and ordered Xiao Tan to serve tea.

"I don't know, what the princess and the general are looking for Qingwan!"

Xu Luochen glanced at Xiao Muning and said to Lin Qingwan, "This general misses the county lord, and wants to see him before leaving!" ”

Lin Qingwan smiled, sure enough, he was an enemy, and he spoke with provocation, "Thank you General, how can Qingwan be virtuous!" And what about the princess? Do you miss me too? ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Muning couldn't help laughing! Wakakage endured very hard in the back.

"The county lord of Qingwan is funny! I'm here to tell you that I will definitely enter the gate of King Ning's Mansion. Red Sleeves said proudly.

"Good! That has to wait for the palace to be repaired, otherwise the princess will go now, and it will be dusty everywhere, and it will be bad if the princess snubbs the princess! The princess will come next time to inform me in advance, and the prince and I will go out of the house to greet each other. Lin Qingwan's smile did not change.

Xiao Muning saw that she had a bit of the demeanor of a hostess, and began to talk unceremoniously, "People have also seen it, and the words have been said, shouldn't you also go!" Otherwise, you'll have to travel at night! ”

Xu Luochen put down the tea bowl and got up, "Indeed, the hour is not early, and some people don't like us either, then Lord Qingwan, we will have a date later!" ”

"Princess Red Sleeves, General Xu, have a good trip!"

Xiao Muning followed them to send the mission out of the city.

Lin Qingwan felt bored and turned back to his yard, and took Xiao Tan to make an apron, also to prepare for opening a bubble tea shop!

Zizhu came in with a large stack of invitations, "Miss, the concierge just sent some invitations, all of which I received in the past two days." ”

"Invitation? What invitations? Bring it to me? Lin Qingwan put down the needle and thread in his hand, spread out the invitations one by one on the table, and Xiao Tan also stretched out his head to look at it, "Miss, these are all invitations to the poetry meeting of the children of Kyoto official eunuchs!" ”

Zizhu also sat down, "Since Miss wrote that poem on the Empress's birthday, now all the talented people in Kyoto who usually like to dance and write and be elegant are vying to copy it, and some people have even written a poem for Miss." ”

"Somebody wrote me a poem! Hear how! Lin Qingwan found it interesting.

"The subordinates only remember one sentence, as if it was, 'Looking through the autumn water, it is as ethereal as the edge of the Xianyao Pond.'" ”

Lin Qingwan snickered in her heart, no matter what era, talented people will always be sought after, but she! Now you deserve it!

She closed the invitations one by one and handed them to Zizhu, "It's a bad day today, don't be in a hurry to reply, let's put it on the table first!" ”

Now that the weather has entered summer, the light rain in the day has stopped before nightfall, and the moon and stars in the night sky are like washed water, dazzling in the sky. The sound of cicadas outside the window is not noisy, and the cool breeze blowing into the house relieves people's feeling of stuffiness.

Lin Qingwan made himself a set of pajamas with red suspenders and shorts not long ago that finally came in handy.

When Xiao Muning came in, she was lying on her carved big bed with an oil lamp lit and reading the book, and she had a pot of plum wine at hand. Xiao Muning didn't call her, walked to the table and looked at the thick pile of invitations on the table, she was either the son of a squire family or a young lady of a Shangshu family, and her identity was either rich or expensive!

Lin Qingwan was lying on his stomach a little numb, and was about to change his posture, when he suddenly saw a red figure in front of the table, and asked out loud, "Who is there?" ”

"It's me!" Xiao Muning put down the invitation and walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, picked up her remaining half a glass of plum wine and drank it all.

Lin Qingwan didn't care about anything else, quickly pulled the quilt next to him to cover himself, and said angrily, "Lord Wang, it's addictive to enter my room at night, right?" ”

Xiao Muning picked up the notebook on the bed while drinking, and turned two pages through the light, "The style of your pajamas is indeed very unique, the last time you said that you made red pajamas, is it your current one?" ”

Lin Qingwan carefully looked at the pajamas on his body, frowned, and said, "Lord Wang, you are wearing such a conspicuous outfit, my hidden guards haven't even noticed you?" ”

Xiao Muning poured himself another glass, and smiled lightly, "What if you find out?" Who dares to stop me! ”

Lin Qingwan suddenly realized, although his words were a little arrogant, but it was indeed such a reason, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion had caught up with his family, and no one cared about him walking sideways!

She deliberately mocked and said, "The prince hasn't seen a figure for a day, so don't you feel at ease, and personally send the red-sleeved princess to the capital of the Northern Han Kingdom!" ”

"What? It's just that you haven't seen me for a day, and you miss me like that! In Xiao Muning's opinion, she was making a petty temper with him, and she couldn't help but smile successfully.

Lin Qingwan glanced at him, and asked curiously, "Lord Wang, what did you do to the red-sleeved princess?" Make her so obsessed with you! ”

Xiao Muning hurriedly denied it, "No! It was she who fell in love with me at first sight! I didn't have any contact with her. ”

"Oh, then the prince is really wronged!" Lin Qingwan sat up wrapped in a quilt.

Xiao Muning changed the topic and pointed to the invitation on the table, "I have rejected all those for you, and you don't have to go to any of them!" ”

Lin Qingwan didn't plan to go, but he still asked stiffly, "Why?" Wouldn't it be nice to participate in the poetry party! You can meet a lot of people and exchange ideas! Why didn't you let me go? ”

"My princess, they can get acquainted if they want to? A group of sanctimonious hypocrites think that they will be high with a broken folding fan, but they are not all a group of wine bags and rice bags, so they don't see it! ”

Xiao Muning has always looked down on those rich sons and brothers in Beijing, relying on the wealth and power of his family, there are many people who come out to do nonsense. The imperial examination fails year after year, but now he pretends to be a scholar and a scholar, and he has hit him Xiao Muning with all his ideas, which is really unbelievable!

Lin Qingwan was worried about how to refuse during the day, but he didn't expect that someone had already done it for him, he was really blessed not to be busy, and he was not blessed to run and break his bowels!

Xiao Muning suddenly said in a soft tone, "Qingwan, use my mother's zither to play a tune for me!" ”

Hearing his tone, the weakest place in Lin Qingwan's heart was suddenly touched, remembering his life experience of losing his mother in childhood, his father didn't love his stepmother, how did he bear it when he was so old!

Lin Qingwan didn't refuse, got up and put on a robe, sat in front of the guzheng and folded the piano cover and put it aside, "Lord, I can only play a limited number of tunes, I can listen to whatever I play!" All right? ”

Xiao Muning pushed the oil lamp and wine jug aside, supported his head with one hand, and lay on Lin Qingwan's big bed without hesitation, "Okay!" You play! ”

"Then I'll play a song "Acacia" for the prince! One of my favorites is 'The most willing to forget the poetry of the ancients, and the most disdainful is lovesickness.' ’”

Saying that, Lin Qingwan began to play, Xiao Muning admired the beauty and listened to the music while drinking, so comfortable!

He had never heard the tunes played by Lin Qingwan, and he only thought that it was due to his long absence from Kyoto, so he didn't think much about it.

At the end of the song, Lin Qingwan stroked the strings, "This piano is so well maintained, it can be seen that the people who collect it cherish it very much." Lord, how did you get here? ”

Xiao Muning put down the wine glass and his face changed, "My mother's zite was originally mine!" He can't even protect people, and now he still occupies this zither to see things and think about people, what's the use! Self-soothing! ”

It seems that in Xiao Muning's heart, there is hatred!

"So the prince tore his face with the emperor because of it?" Lin Qingwan asked cautiously.

"No, he happily gave it to me! And say, you are the best fit to be its owner! ”

"The prince told the emperor that it was given to me?"

"I didn't mention it, I just said that I wanted to return the kite, but he should be able to guess such an obvious thing! Qingwan, don't mention him, play me another song! I still want to hear it! ”

Lin Qingwan thought about it and played a song "Mountains and Flowing Water", this song is her favorite, she had a strong personality when she was a child, and she cried and practiced for a long time before she reached her current level. For many years she had treated it as a repertoire and never played it to anyone, but now she was cheap.

Xiao Muning closed his eyes and listened, as if he was in the middle of the mountains and rivers, and the sound of water in his ears was rushing and flowing, as if he was the mountain stream and clear spring, sometimes turbulent, sometimes soothing, making him feel relaxed all over.

When Lin Qingwan looked up at him again, he was already asleep on the bed!

Lin Qingwan wanted to wake him up and let him go back to his yard to sleep. I suddenly remembered that Wakakage mentioned it a few days ago and said that he didn't sleep well.

Lin Qingwan's outstretched hand was taken back again, and seeing that he was sleeping so deeply, he couldn't bear it in the end, and lightly covered him with a quilt. She closed the window, lay down on the chaise longue with the quilt, and fell asleep after a while.
