Chapter 585: It's hard to refuse this invitation
Wan Lin said softly: "How can I blame you for this? You don't know what's going on in the court, I only heard about it yesterday, and I wanted to tell you about it, but I forgot about it. If you want to blame me, you have to blame me. ”
Fu Xiaojiu couldn't help but stretch out his arms around Wan Lin's neck, stared at Wan Lin's eyes tenderly and asked, "Xianggong, why are you always so gentle with me?" I've never been blamed for missing anything. ”
Wan Lin looked at Fu Xiaojiu with a smile in his eyebrows, and also wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Because you've never done anything wrong, why should I blame you? You have put so much effort into me and this family, how can there be anything wrong? ”
Looking at the doting eyes in Wan Lin's deep eyes, Fu Xiaojiu felt that his heart was about to be warmed by him.
Fu Xiaojiu lay on Wan Lin's chest and pressed his face tightly against his heart.
"Thank God for letting me meet you, Xianggong, I think being your lady is the proudest and luckiest thing in my life!"
Wan Lin lowered his head and kissed her hair lightly, and asked with a smile, "Why did you suddenly say such things to me?" It made me feel like I had done something amazing. ”
Fu Xiaojiu said in a firm tone: "Your existence is the most amazing thing!" ”
Hearing this, Wan Lin's heart trembled.
He and Fu Xiaojiu have praised each other a lot on weekdays, but this is the first time that he has praised each other.
Wan Lin suddenly understood the value of his existence in this world.
"Lady, if you say that my existence is the greatest thing, then I want to say that the purpose of my existence is to meet you."
"Xianggong ......"
A warm current instantly surged through Fu Xiaojiu's whole body, and she raised her head suddenly.
When they looked at each other, both of them saw the intense love in each other's eyes.
The two of them were talking to each other when they suddenly heard an "ahhhhh
It turned out that Wan Pozi came over with a basin of hot water.
Mrs. Wan came to bring hot water to Fu Xiaojiu to wash, but when she walked over here, she looked up and saw Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin hugging each other.
Wan Pozi wanted to turn around and go back to the stove room, but she stepped on a small stone without paying attention, and she stumbled.
Wan Lin and Fu Xiaojiu separated instantly, and Wan Lin hurriedly asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”
"I'm fine, it's just that I'm down, and I'm out of the way." Wan Pozi was still embarrassed to turn around.
"Show me!" Fu Xiaojiu hurriedly walked over.
Wan Lin took the hot water basin that Wan Pozi was holding and put it on the ground, and Fu Xiaojiu had already checked Wan Pozi's ankles.
"It's not in the way, it's just a little bit." Wan Pozi's face was still a little embarrassed.
Fu Xiaojiu checked it and found that Wan Pozi's ankle was indeed fine, so he asked, "Mother, don't your shoes fit well?" I'll make you a few new pairs of shoes tomorrow. ”
Wan Pozi immediately said: "My shoes fit very well, I don't need to make new shoes!" I just didn't pay attention when it was dark and stepped on a small rock. ”
Fu Xiaojiu glanced at the courtyard and said, "There should be a few more lanterns hanging in our yard, and I will buy a few more lanterns tomorrow." Oh, by the way, mother, I'll show you this. ”
Fu Xiaojiu took out the silver ticket.
"This is the money from the sale of our old house. It was six hundred taels of silver. ”
"Huh?" Before Wan Pozi could read the words on the silver ticket clearly, she was frightened when she heard the number reported by Fu Xiaojiu.
"Six hundred taels? Didn't we say before that you could sell it for five hundred taels? ”
Fu Xiaojiu smiled helplessly, "Five hundred taels is the reserve price given by our family, in fact, our house was sold for one thousand taels of silver." ”
"What?" Wan Pozi was suddenly stimulated, and she couldn't believe it, "That small mansion was sold for a thousand taels?" ”
Fu Xiaojiu shrugged his shoulders, "What normal teeth should give us is five hundred taels, and if this is not sold at a high price, they took the initiative to give us an extra hundred taels." ”
Wan Pozi said with a complicated mood: "When we bought the house, we only spent three hundred taels of silver, and it has only been less than a year, and we can sell it at such a high price!" Who is so wronged and paid a thousand taels? ”
"They all said that because it was a house where our family lived, they all wanted to touch the blessings of our family, so they were willing to pay a high price. You also know the person who bought our house, it is that Lord Lu. ”
After Fu Xiaojiu finished speaking, he showed a look of "you know".
Wan Pozi was very impressed by the Lu family, and after learning that it was Lu Changzhi who was so big, Wan Pozi couldn't help sneering twice, and said straight to the point: "Hehe, it turned out to be him?" If he can be so generous, he must want to win over the third child. ”
"Mother, you are so smart, you can understand what is going on at once. But don't worry, no matter what he thinks, he won't be able to affect Xianggong and our family. ”
Fu Xiaojiu didn't want Wan Pozi to know too much about the court, so as not to make her worry about it.
Wan Lin also said: "Anyway, the house has been sold, so let's collect the money." Mother, it's not early, you should rest early. ”
Wan Pozi saw that they didn't want to worry about her, so she said, "Okay, I'll go to sleep, you should go to bed early." The third child, you will go to the Yushitai tomorrow to officially take office, if you want to eat something in the morning, my mother will make it for you. ”
Wan Lin said: "Don't eat heavy and spicy food tomorrow morning. ”
Wan Pozi replied, "Okay, then I'll make tomorrow's breakfast lighter." ”
Wan Pozi was just about to leave, and found that she was still holding a silver ticket in her hand.
"Xiao Jiu, the silver ticket is for you."
Fu Xiaojiu pushed Wan Pozi's hand back, "The silver ticket will be kept for you, such a large amount of money is still placed here for you." ”
Wan Pozi withdrew her hand and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Others say that our family is blessed, but I don't know that the greatest blessing of our family is to have you." Even if other people's families buy the houses where our family lives and use the things that our family has used, they are all in vain without you! ”
Fu Xiaojiu: Did the whole family make an appointment to praise each other today?
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to be verbose here, you two should go to bed early!"
Wan Pozi turned around and went back to the room.
Wan Lin picked up the hot water basin and said to Fu Xiaojiu: "Let's go, lady, it's time for us to go back to the room." ”
Fu Xiaojiu said with interest: "Before going to bed, you can briefly tell me about the changes in the court in the past two days." ”
Wan Lin replied with a smile: "Okay, I originally wanted to talk to you again." ”
Fu Xiaojiu listened to what Wan Lin said, and said that it was good to just listen to it, but after coaxing Wan Lin to sleep, he secretly thought a lot before falling asleep.
Fu Xiaojiu knew that there would be someone tomorrow, and she would definitely see her.
Wan Lin officially took office at the Yushitai today, so he was ceremoniously welcomed by all officials.
However, after the grand welcome, he did not work less because of his new arrival.
Wan Lin handled the complicated official business without complaint, and the morning passed unconsciously.
"Lord Wan, are you busy?"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded in front of Wan Lin.
Wan Lin had long expected him to come, raised his head and politely arched his hand: "Lord Lu, long time no see!" ”
Lu Changzhi immediately returned the salute: "Lord Wan is polite." Are you still comfortable doing the affairs of the Imperial Tower? ”
Wan Lin said humbly: "It is inevitable that there will be some confusion at the beginning, but I am gradually getting used to it. I came to the Yushitai to realize how complicated the affairs here are, and I am afraid that I will not be able to do it well if I am dull and slow down everyone's progress. ”
Lu Changzhi waved his hand hurriedly, and praised Wan Lin with all his strength: "Lord Wan is really too humble. Looking at the entire Dachen, how can anyone be as old as you can achieve the position of a fourth-grade official? You are a real dragon and phoenix, a rare talent in the world! ”
Wan Lin saw that Lu Changzhi had touched a few layers of grease in the morning, otherwise how could he be so cheeky and boast about himself to death?
Doesn't he feel embarrassed himself?
Wan Lin chuckled and said: "Hehe, Lord Lu has a good reputation, Wan is not talented, and there are still many places to learn from you." ”
In order to let Lu Changzhi stop boasting about himself so hypocritically, Wan Lin quickly changed the topic.
"Lord Lu, do you have any business to come to Yushitai today?"
Lu Changzhi was stunned for a moment, shook the official document in his hand, and said: "I am here to hand over the files on the whereabouts of some officials in the ministry, and I am bothered by my colleagues in the Imperial Historical Observatory to supervise our words and deeds. ”
"Oh." Wan Lin nodded, and said, "By the way, I haven't said thank you for the house." If it weren't for you, our old village wouldn't have been able to sell for such a high price. ”
"Oh, isn't Lord Wan polite? The old man bought your house for nothing else, just to get a touch of the fragrance and luck of this book on you. Hehe, it makes you smile. ”
Although Lu Changzhi was smiling, Wan Lin didn't smile no matter how he looked at him.
Wan Lin politely replied: "Hehe, you are laughing, it is our luck that you can buy our old house." ”
"Then I'll put things here, you hard work! The old man didn't bother. ”
Lu Changzhi put down his things, but he didn't have any intention of leaving, and then said: "By the way, Lord Wan, the day after tomorrow is the birthday of the old Yuange, and we are all juniors in front of the old man, so we have to congratulate him no matter what I say." Do you have time the night after tomorrow? ”
Who would dare not go to the birthday of the elder of the Yuan Pavilion?
Even if you are high, or if you are an official in King Zhao's camp to get by in order to save face, you have to bring a birthday gift.
Wan Lin said with some surprise: "It turns out that the day after tomorrow is actually the birthday of the Yuan Pavilion Elder?" The younger generation should go by itself. I just don't know what his old man's preferences are? What are the taboos? Please also let Master Lu inform me one or two. ”
Lu Changzhi replied: "The old man of the Yuan Pavilion is rich and rich, and he is loyal and upright, so some of his preferences and taboos are a little different from others, if you talk about it, I am afraid that I will have to talk about it for a while." The old man is inconvenient to occupy your time to deal with official business, or let's find a teahouse after we release the ya, and the old man will tell you in detail the preferences and taboos of the old Yuange? ”
Wan Lin had no reason to refuse this invitation, so he agreed: "Then it will be troublesome Lord Lu!" Let's let Ya see you. ”
Lu Changzhi said: "The Tinghe tea shop diagonally opposite the Jingwei Building is good, the refreshments and side dishes are very elegant, let's see you there." ”
