Chapter 35: The Gift
"Okay, okay, your sister Yu'er was frightened today, what are you fighting with her?" The old lady endured the discomfort and comforted, "Although I am used to you, but after all, your uncle is in charge of the Luanping Hou Mansion, you should behave in front of your uncle, otherwise I will not be able to help you if you anger him." ”
"Grandmother!" Mu Liangxuan still refused to give up, but he really angered the old lady.
"Now you don't even listen to me?" The old lady slapped the Buddhist beads in her hand on the table, and the wooden table was plucked out of a small pit.
Mu Liangxuan closed his mouth in disagreement, stood aside angrily and stopped talking, but secretly scolded the old lady in his heart.
The old lady skimmed his puffing appearance with her eyes, how to say that she was also her beloved grandson, in the end, she softened her voice, "You also go back and reflect on it, don't always provoke Mu Yu, that girl is the same as her mother, smart, and you will be the one who will suffer when the time comes." ”
"I see." Mu Liangxuan failed to exchange for comfort, but was taught a lesson, and he was even more dissatisfied in his heart, and he didn't say hello to the old lady, and left the old lady's yard with "click" steps.
Xu was because of Mu Heyun's scolding, not only was Mu Yu not punished, but the old lady and the second and third rooms all pretended to send supplements, and let her have a good rest.
There was no morning class, the discipline was relaxed, and Mu Yu also got the opportunity to take Biyue to the street, which can be said to be an unprecedented moment of relaxation.
On this day, Mu Yu looked at the oiled paper bag on the table in shock, and she didn't expect that she had received a tonic from Xie Chongning, which was said to be to calm the nerves and help her sleep.
She hadn't told anyone else, but she had always dreamed of strange things these past few nights, and a faint dark blue appeared in her eyes due to lack of sleep, and this gift was really the right gift.
In fact, Xie Chongning bumped into Mu Yu who was wandering on the street, and at a glance he found that her little face had lost its ruddy luster in the past, and remembered that she was afraid to cry in her arms that day, it seemed that she was really frightened.
Xie Chongning still remembered the kindness of the girl rubbing the medicine for herself, so she bought some soothing supplements after the dispersal and sent them to the Luanping Marquis Mansion "by the way".
Coincidentally, as soon as he dismounted with his front feet, he heard someone calling behind him.
"Lord Xie?" Lin Changjin looked at the people standing in front of the Luanping Marquis Mansion with a little surprise. "It's really Lord Xie."
Lin Changjin is also on an errand in Dali Temple, but he is not enough to see Dali Temple compared to Xie Chongning. Xie Chongning is not his direct boss, but he is his boss's boss.
Xie Chongning bowed.
"Your Excellency is also here to visit Sister Yu'er?" Lin Changjin inadvertently glanced at the oil paper bag in Xie Chongning's hand, and admired in his heart, although Lord Xie always rejected the cold appearance of thousands of miles away, he was actually kind-hearted.
The word "also" also expresses Lin Changjin's intention.
"Passing by." Hearing Lin Changjin's name, Xie Chongning's eyes darkened, "You help me give this thing to her, it's to calm the nerves and help her sleep." ”
"Since the adults are here, why don't you hand it over to Sister Yu'er in person?" Suddenly the second monk Lin Changjin and Zhangzhang, who were wrapped in stuffed oil paper, were confused, why did Xie Chongning personally deliver the medicine if he didn't go in to visit? Wouldn't it be better to send someone directly?
Xie Chongning glanced at the three-yellow oiled paper bag seemingly unintentionally, and said coldly, "No." ”
didn't stop for half a moment, his five fingers as white as jade grabbed the saddle slightly, his clothes fluttered, and he turned over neatly, leaving only a long back in the distance.
"Master Xie didn't say much, left this oil paper package for me, and left." Lin Changjin looked at the surprised villain in front of him who was exactly like herself, and couldn't help but explain for Xie Chongning, "Lord Xie is cold-faced and hot-hearted......
"He sent it personally?" Mu Yu took the hand of the Ru porcelain pot for a moment, this Xie Chongning is not a warm-hearted person, he can give gifts to himself personally, could it be that he was influenced by himself?
She shook her head immediately, forget it, she and Xie Chongning still have nothing to do with each other.
"By the way, Brother Lin, you came just in time today, I have a gift for you."
"Huh?" Lin Changjin straightened up, and from the tips of his ears to his neck, he was dyed with a shy red, "I...... There are also gifts for you. ”
This was the first time he had walked into a girl's boudoir, although the door was open and the maid was beside him, but why was his heart pounding so much?
Mu Yu came back with a gift and saw Lin Changjin not squinting, staring at the teacup in front of him with his neck bent, and he was a shy big boy.
Mother and Mrs. Changtinghou also intended to match the two of them, and Lin Changjin was also urged at home like herself.
"You don't have to be so nervous when you see me, I'm the same age as Wanyun, you can just treat me as your sister." Mu Yu smoothed the hem of his skirt, and his white and tender hand clenched into a fist and stretched out in front of Lin Changjin, "Do you want to guess what I gave you?" ”
Lin Changjin's nervous palms were full of sweat, and he only noticed that the soft little hands were clenched into fists, and the bones were symmetrical, and the color was like white jade.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to guess." He glanced at Mu Yu shyly, and quickly lowered his head, Mu Yu smiled softly at her, his red lips were raised, and his eyebrows were bent with aura.
Mu Yu sighed lightly, her mother still wants to match her and Lin Changjin, this Lin Changjin is completely a shy sunny boy, her old aunt with a psychological age of twenty-six is not an old cow eating tender grass!
She flipped her fist over, spread out her palm, and saw a red sword spike lying in the palm of her hand, and the difference was a ball-shaped knot on the tassel of the spike, "This is what I made with my own hands, I don't know if you like it or not." ”
Of course Lin Changjin liked it, and he was about to take the gift with a red face, but as soon as he raised his hand, he seemed to remember something, and immediately spread out his hand, and rubbed it twice on the robe in embarrassment, and the sweat of his palms actually left two dark gray handprints on the gray robe.
Looking at the palm prints on his clothes, Mu Yu covered his lips and chuckled.
Lin Changjin took the sword spike in a restrained manner, and at the same time noticed the dark gray pattern on the clothes, and immediately wanted to cover it with a sleeve robe, but the official uniform of Dali Temple was tightened for the convenience of duty, and the palm print could not be blocked at all.
"By the way, doesn't Brother Lin also have a gift for me?" Mu Yu intimately broke Lin Changjin's embarrassment.
"Yes, yes, yes." Lin Changjin took out an emerald green jade pendant from his waist, not to mention the head, color, and carving of the jade, as far as the brightness of the jade pendant is concerned, it can be seen at a glance that it must be a personal thing.
"This jade pendant can ward off evil spirits and keep peace. I heard that you were frightened, and it immediately occurred to me that this jade pendant is the most suitable for you. ”
Mu Yu didn't take it, but turned his head sideways and asked seriously, "Brother Lin said this, isn't there any origin of this jade pendant?" ”
"I can't say the origin." Lin Changjin smoothed the tassel under the jade pendant and recalled, "When I was on an errand for the first time, I saw a very terrible corpse, and I was so scared that I had nightmares for a long time, and then my mother gave me this jade pendant, saying that this jade has always been worn on the body to ward off evil spirits and keep safe." ”
"It should be more than that!" Mu Yu's eyes seemed to reflect the stars, and he saw through Lin Changjin's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping.
"No, that's it."
Mu Yu sighed lightly in her heart, although she didn't know much about jade, she could also see that the carving of this jade pendant was exquisite, but it was not a thing of this dynasty.
"This jade pendant is too valuable, I can't accept it."
"No, it's not valuable." After that, Lin Changjin put the jade pendant in front of Mu Yu, afraid that she would refuse.
Mu Yu shook his head and withdrew the jade pendant again, "Brother Lin, you also underestimate me!" This jade pendant is not a thing of the court, it is definitely not just used to ward off evil spirits and keep peace. ”
Lin Changjin, who was exposed, hung his head, no longer defended, and said with a red face and a thick neck, "Mother said that this jade pendant is to be reserved for his wife." ”
He had the momentum of a broken boat, his hands clenched into fists under the cover of the tablecloth, "I want you to be my wife!" ”
Damn, Mu Yu never thought that the big boy in front of him would be forced to be anxious by himself.
She was stunned for a moment, and her red lips opened slightly, "Does Brother Lin really like me?" So what does Brother Lin like about me? ”
Having said everything that shouldn't be said, Lin Changjin had nothing to fear, raised his head and looked at Mu Yu's bright eyes, his clear face was full of desperate seriousness, "You are gentle and quiet, beautiful and smart." ”
Mu Yu shook her head while laughing, her soul in her twenties was about to be praised by the big boy in front of her, "What you see is only the surface, I am not gentle and quiet at all." ”
"Then I like it too!" Lin Changjin said firmly. "Because it's you."
Mu Yu, who wanted to dispel Lin Changjin's thoughts, suddenly felt that he had been teased, and he suddenly didn't know how to answer.
When she was hesitating about how to phrase it so as not to hurt the big boy, she heard the other party say empathetically, "Sister Yu'er, you are still young, you don't need to make a decision now." ”
Lin Changjin saw Mu Yu's embarrassment, and took back the jade pendant on the table, "I'll keep this jade pendant for you." ”
He is such a big man who stands up to the sky, how can he embarrass a girl?
Under Mu Yu's gaze, he took off the sword spike on his sword again, "This sword spike has been with me for many years, although it is old, but it has also grown up with me, and I hope that Sister Yu'er will not dislike it, I will take the sword spike you gave me." ”
Lin Changjin shook the sword that had been changed into a sword spike in front of Mu Yu, and smiled at Mu Yu with sunshine, his wheat-colored skin was even more white with his teeth, but he completely lost the shyness just now.
Mu Yu was surprised by Lin Changjin's changes, and at the same time took the sword spike and put it away for safekeeping, Lin Changjin just said that, she couldn't refuse.
Lin Changjin's sword spike has indeed been by his side for a long time, and his most precious sword is never allowed to be touched by others, so when he was on an errand on the second day, many sharp-eyed people found that he had changed to a new sword spike.
"Chang Jin! Why did you change the sword spike! ”
"This knot is ingenious, where you bought it, I'll buy one too." So the man reached out and tried to pick it up and take a closer look.
Lin Changjin took a step back nervously and held the sword spike, "I didn't buy it." ”
"I know, it seems that which girl sent it, look at the appearance of your baby, which lady made us lose our hearts?"
Xie Chongning, who was passing by, listened to their conversation, he glanced at Lin Changjin's sword spike, touched the purse on his waist, his thin lips were pursed, his face was not very good, and his body exuded an aura of alienation.
