Chapter 63: Temptation 1
A married woman needs to bring her husband home on the third day, which is called Guining.
Ning, Anye, so it is also the meaning of the newlyweds going home to greet their elders.
The top and bottom of the Rongwang Mansion are still taken care of by the old housekeeper, and the Tao housekeeper mentioned that now that the palace has a hostess, the palace should be handed over to the princess to take care of. However, Lin Ruo only accepted the seal and used it to verify the monthly accounts of the palace, and the rest was still handed over to the Tao steward and the old people in the palace to take care of.
Murong Chong did not object, so everything remained the same. The matter of returning to Ning is also the responsibility of Steward Tao.
The carriage stopped in front of the Lin Mansion, and Lin Qian, Lin Qi and the others were already waiting at the door.
"Uncle!" After Lin Ruo jumped out of the carriage with Murong Chong's hand, he rushed towards Lin Qian with joy.
"Lord Rong, princess."
Lin Qian took the lead in leading the people in the mansion and saluted Murong Chong and Lin Ruo, which made Lin Ruo a little uncomfortable. glanced at Murong Chong helplessly.
"Uncle, don't be polite." Murong Chong said lightly.
Lin Ruo hurriedly helped Lin Qian up, Lin Ruo instructed the people of the Lin Mansion to help unload all the gifts on the car and send them into the mansion, so he took Lin Qian's arm and complained a little coquettishly, "Uncle, why are you waiting at the door?" What should I do if I get heat? ”
Lin Qian patted her hand: "I can't sit still in the mansion." You've been away from the house these days, and you're not used to it. Let's go in with the prince first. ”
Lin Ruo nodded: "Lord Wang, please." With that, he helped Lin Qian to go to the house.
Seeing that Lin Ruo didn't wait for him, Murong Chong didn't have a temper, but Lin Qi kept looking at him with a pair of dark eyes, and he didn't say much, just nodded slightly, which was considered a gesture, and then stepped into the Lin Mansion.
Lin Qi came back to his senses and hurriedly followed.
This is the first time Murong Chong has been to the Lin Mansion, and the layout of the mansion is completely devoid of the atmosphere of a businessman, but it has a little more of the elegant atmosphere of the Jiangnan garden: the tower, the center of the lake, the rockery, and the small pavilion are all exquisite and unique, and the ingenuity is unique. A thought suddenly appeared in his mind: I don't know if the design of this Lin Mansion has also passed through Lin Ruo's hands.
Although she is quite accomplished in the design of organs and accessories, this garden design, if you have not studied it systematically, you really don't have the ability to take it.
The garden design that has been precipitated in the Chinese mainland for thousands of years is not a simple science, one step at a time, the artistic conception is far-reaching, and Lin Ruo can at most talk to the gentleman who drew the drawings about his ideas.
In the hall, because of the presence of Prince Rong, Lin Qian seemed a little restrained, and he couldn't treat Murong Chong as an ordinary nephew and son-in-law; Murong Chong, on the other hand, was not good at dealing with people, and was quite embarrassed for a while.
It was Lin Qi and Lin Ruo who talked happily with each other, and after a while, they talked about "The Legend of the White Snake" again.
"Second sister, I told Mr. Cui the story of the White Snake and the scholar, and Mr. Cui found this story very attractive and wanted to write it down."
Mr. Cui's name is Cui Shang, he is from Jinling Academy, he is well-read, funny, and most importantly, he also likes strange anecdotes, and he is most suitable to stay in Lin Mansion to teach Lin Qi.
"Do you have any plans after writing it down?"
"Of course, if it's printed, it will definitely sell well!" Under the influence of Lin Ruo, Lin Qi was also exposed to it and slowly became a small profiteer. It's just that the experience is insufficient, and the ideas are somewhat limited.
"What else?"
"Hmm...... How about making it into a drama? ”
"Okay!" Lin Ruo nodded appreciatively, "Such a poignant story, if it is made into a drama, it will definitely be famous through the ages." ”
As for inexplicably advancing "The Legend of the White Snake", Lin Ruo didn't feel guilty in his heart anyway.
Who sent her here by providence?
After receiving Lin Ruo's approval, Lin Qi was quite excited: "Then I'll go to Mr. Cui immediately, and then ask Lao Qi to help me find the troupe!" ”
Lin Ruo stopped him and asked, "Why are you looking for a troupe?" ”
Lin Qi looked dazed: "If you are arranged into a drama and don't look for a drama team, who will you look for?" ”
Lin Ruo smiled slyly: "Qilanxiang, wind and snow." ”
Lin Qi was still confused, and asked, "Second sister, I don't understand ......"
"Qilanxiang's costume, the play of wind and snow."
Lin Qi blinked, and after a long time, he suddenly let out an "oh".
After handling Xiang Xuehai's business for several months, and with the careful professors of Ji Junyang and Lao Qi, Lin Qi has made rapid progress, and after Lin Ruo mentioned it a little, he understood her intentions. Lin Qi couldn't help but admire from the bottom of his heart: "Second sister, you are really amazing!" ”
"Lin Sanshao, Shao Dong, such a good business, don't mess it up!"
"Don't worry, second sister, wrap it up on me!" Lin Qi patted his chest and promised, "Dad, brother-in-law, then I'll go find the seventh child!" ”
With that, he ran away in a puff of smoke, Lin Qian shook his head helplessly, and apologized to Murong Chong.
Without Lin Qi's gags, the atmosphere in the hall became awkward again. Lin Ruo had no choice but to propose and take Murong Chong around the Lin Mansion, and Lin Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're doing well in the Lin Mansion."
"Well, my uncle trusts me and treats me as his own, and Xiao Qi treats me as his own sister. This Lin Mansion is my home, so I will not allow anyone to endanger the Lin family, including the crown prince and King Ye. ”
Murong Chong nodded, understanding that when Lin Ruo first saw him, she told him frankly that she wanted the Lin family to be safe.
walked and stopped, and arrived at Lin Ruo's courtyard.
Murong Chong frowned: "Why is your yard in such a remote place?" ”
Although this courtyard is more delicate than any other courtyard in the mansion, the location is too deep.
"I'm afraid of noise, it's clean here."
"That's it?"
"What does the prince think?"
Murong Chong pondered for a while, and then said, "Don't want people to know your true identity in the Lin family?" ”
Lin Ruo smiled lightly: "This is secondary, the Lin Mansion is full of people who can keep secrets." ”
"That's because you didn't want the people in the house to know when you were sick?"
Lin Ruo's eyebrows jumped, Ci'en Temple was sick, and he carried her back to the room; The nightmare of the wedding night is also guarded by her side. After being silent for a long time, he said softly: "Sort of." ”
Seeing that Lin Ruo didn't want to elaborate, Murong Chong didn't ask any further. I don't know when the two of them have maintained such a tacit understanding that they don't need to speak: if Lin Ruo is willing to say it, he will listen to her; If she didn't want to say anything, he would wait for her to tell him when the time was right.
He was never a person who would trust others easily. Because there has never been a person who can make him so trusted, even the deputy general Xu Zhan, the second brother and the crown prince, even if they have walked into the crooked rhyme in his heart, they have never done this. However, Lin Ruo did it easily.
Maybe it's because she is also such a person, so at the beginning of their acquaintance, everything was clearly divided, what she wanted, what she could give, was clearly put on the table.
"In the palace, can I help you change to a quiet place, or renovate the courtyard?"
Lin Ruo shook his head: "No need, it's good now." ”
She was now in the courtyard of King Rong's mansion, some distance from the kitchen, the washroom, and the pool in the center of the palace, and she was not worried about being disturbed by the sound of water. The reason why I got sick on the wedding night was because I had just changed places and I was uneasy. If you want to move the yard or build a large number of buildings to repair the courtyard, it is not necessary, but it will arouse the suspicion of those who have a heart.
Murong Chong nodded.
