Chapter 62: It's Cold
Jun'er ran in, felt the oppressive atmosphere in the room, and whispered, "Master, the eighth master is back." β
"What!" Several people turned around at the same time, Chen Heng's expression was the most surprised, he also agreed with Lin Dongyue's words, Xiaobai inadvertently annoyed the eighth master, and the eighth master left, originally thought that the eighth master would not come back, together with Lin Dongyue himself, he was ready to be reprimanded by Shangfeng, but he didn't expect the eighth master to come back.
"Come to the study!" Lin Dongyue hurriedly said.
"No need!" Feng Mi strode in, compared to the eighth master that Lin Dongyue had seen before, today he was gloomy and solemn and terrifying, did he come to ask for sin? Everyone didn't dare to think about it, but they heard Feng Mi say: "I'm just here to ask, the little white girl is not welcoming guests, is she here?" β
Quiet!
Several people had different thoughts, and they didn't know how to answer with their breath, Lin Wenhai calmed down, bowed down and said: "Eighth master, if it is for the last time Xiaobai was disrespectful to you, I will make amends for her in the next place, she is still young and her temperament is a little naΓ―ve, please forgive me." β
"yes!" Lin Dongyue hurriedly answered, "That kid opened a restaurant by himself, usually no one is restrained, and she is a little bolder, but she has no malice, Eighth Master, don't take it to heart." β
Feng Mi learned martial arts at an early age, his ears and eyes are clear, and he can hear their conversation two miles away from here, obviously he has heard half of what he just said, he is not surprised that the Lin family is not surprised by what happened that day, it comes down to Xiaobai's disrespect for himself, but he has a little inexplicable emotion in his heart, he doesn't know what Xiaobai said: "You have to really put yourself into a relationship, in order to find something worth cherishing", in his opinion, there is nothing worth cherishing in this relationship.
None of the people in this room regard Xiaobai as a relative, even the old lady of the Lin family who left just didn't owe each other, Feng Mi's gaze crossed over Lin Wenhai, and said lightly: "She really has no malice." β
"So, Xiaobai is not disrespectful to the eighth master?" Lin Dongyue asked cautiously.
"I happened to have something to do that day." It can be regarded as giving Lin Dongyue an explanation, "What about the little white girl?" β
Lin Wenjuan suddenly interjected: "She's not in the Lin Mansion!" It's only the seventh day of the first month, and it's impossible for her to go to the Hidden Land, so where did she go? β
"Bush?" Feng Mi frowned.
Lin Wenhai said: "In the past few days twenty years ago, Xiaobai would go there to prepare ingredients, but she was alone to welcome guests, and she would leave for a few days when there was an emergency." β
"That's it, Eighth Master." Lin Dongyue leaned forward, "How about asking Xiao'er and Xiao'er to accompany you around?" In addition to the curved pine forest, there are other places in Huixian County, and the scenery is very good. β
Feng Mi glanced at Chen Heng, who was standing behind, and said, "I'm tired." β
Waiting for Feng Mi to leave, Lin Wenhai suddenly had some strange thoughts, "Father, I always feel that something is wrong. β
"What's wrong?"
"I always feel that Xiaobai and this eighth master have known each other for a long time!"
Lin Wenjuan suddenly laughed and said, "Brother, don't be crazy!" Don't worry about Xiaobai for now, don't forget to ask about your brother-in-law tomorrow! β
Finally, the eighth master came back by himself, who dared to forget this big event? Lin Dongyue strode out of the house, and when he saw Jun'er running up, he asked, "Master, the genealogy has been taken back from the clan land, when will it be given to the second lady... β
Lin Dongyue flicked his sleeves and was about to leave, and said angrily: "Where did the second miss come from!" Ridiculous! β
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, Lin Wenhai and Chen Heng drove the most luxurious carriage of the Lin Mansion to the Shangshan Restaurant where Feng Mi temporarily lived, but Feng Mi had already ridden the BMW specially prepared by the boss and left first, so the two had to chase after them on horseback instead.
By the time they caught up, Feng Mi was already at the foot of Xile Mountain, and the curved pine forest was in this Xile Mountain, because the forest was full of paths, so the entrance was only known to the locals.
Chen Heng led the way, leaving Lin Wenhai and Feng Mi to walk together, and Feng Mi asked, "What's different about that forest?" β
Lin Wenhai said with a smile: "Let's see that Xile Mountain is just an ordinary mountain outside, but when we get inside, we can see that there is a cliff on the top of this mountain, and there is a huge stone stuck in the ravine, and the pine forest grows on it, the roots are curved, the trunk is straight, and the canopy is small and dense, like a drunk man falling to the ground, which is very interesting to watch." β
"Sounds like the rock is more interesting."
"Anyway, it's stuck there, and others don't know why, but the world is so big, it's normal to have these strange things, Huixian is just a small place, and there are not as many interesting things as Xiyue City."
Feng Mi stared at Chen Heng, who seemed to be a little nervous in front of him, and said: "The matter in Xiyue City can't be described as interesting, if you stay for a long time, you will feel that anything that happens there is very weird." β
Lin Wenhai frowned, hesitated for a moment, bowed to Feng Mi, and said: "I'm just an ordinary person, I'm too far away in the matter of Xiyue City, I know that the eighth master has some backgrounds, can you implore the eighth master to inquire about the bye of the brother-in-law's position below, and the Lin Mansion will be grateful to Dade and thank each other." β
It's really straightforward! "What is the news for you?" Feng Mi didn't say whether it should or shouldn't, but became interested in what the Lin family had done.
Lin Wenhai seemed to be hopeful when he heard it, and said eagerly: "At that time, it was the time when the various schools got the news of the celebrant supervisor, and my father went to visit the city guard, but he said that it was because Chen Heng missed the banquet for the reward, so he had a bye, but this is not right, because Chen Heng was told by a palace person that the banquet was canceled, so he would leave Xiyue City, and Chen Heng did not see the emperor, how could he be bye?" Later, my father asked his friends to inquire about the news with the people in Xiyue City, but it was still useless, their words were very vague, as if Chen Heng himself offended anyone, but Chen Heng's temper, he would not offend anyone. β
"Your father's friend? Which is it? β
Lin Wenhai was bent on inquiring about the news for Chen Heng, and naturally knew everything, "I have done business in Xiyue City before, and our Lin family was originally a merchant. β
Feng Mi said with a smile in his eyes: "There are very few opportunities for the Chamber of Commerce to get acquainted with officials, is it Dasi Nong or the Engineering Institute?" β
"It's just a document from the Imperial Division." Lin Wenhai's heart twitched, their status was too low, and now he somewhat believed that Chen Heng must have done something wrong in Xiyue City to be angry.
"There is no way to find anyone." Feng Mi lost interest, and only said: "This kind of thing, if you don't ask the Zhishi Academy, or you don't go to the Imperial Academy, no matter how bad it is, you can ask the celebrant of ceremonies, I can't help you, because I... It's an idler, and he can't go back to Xiyue City recently. β
Lin Wenhai's heart suddenly felt like a big stone was pressing, how could he look at this eighth master with a gloating appearance? "But the eighth master...
"Is there a time ahead?" Feng Mi interrupted him.
Lin Wenhai was deflated, and he also felt the rejection from the eighth master, "Yes, when you get out of this path, you can see the cliff." β
"It should be interesting if Xiaobai comes to be a guide."
"Eighth Master... Did you know Xiaobai before? β
Feng Mi smiled, with a hint of unexplained mockery in her cold breath, and her handsome face fell in Lin Wenhai's eyes, in addition to being dazzling, it was still dazzling.
Huicheng Lin Mansion
Mrs. Lin pushed away the bird's nest handed over by Flawless, and said unhurriedly: "Have you gone to see it yourself?" β
"Well, those boxes of the Xia Shang Pavilion are placed at the door of the welcome guests, there are more than 20 of them, the second lady is still not there, some passing merchants saw those boxes, and they didn't dare to go inside, the slave maid also asked the people at the city gate, although this eighth master said that he came with the governor and the prefect, but before this, there had been on the official road, so many things in the Xia Shang Pavilion, it was difficult not to attract attention."
Old Madam Lin sighed slightly, pulled Wuxian to the chair and sat down, and asked, "You and Meiyu have been serving by my side for almost twenty years, and she told me early in the morning that she wanted to marry a solid family and live, what about you?" What are your thoughts? β
Wufang pursed her lips, she didn't have a plan, but what happened these days made her have to plan, but where could she go? She is not as lively as Meiyu, so she is not suitable for marrying at this time at all, "The slave maid doesn't know, what can she do without the old lady?" β
Old Madam Lin patted the back of her hand lightly, took out a jade pendant from her sleeve pocket, and seemed to have made a plan for Wufang, "If I am not there one day, you can take this thing to Xiyue City." β
"Old lady!" Wufang didn't take the jade pendant, but held Mrs. Lin's hand tightly.
"I know." Old Madam Lin stuffed the jade pendant into the palm of her flawless hand, "It's a pity that Xiaobai won't take you in, go out, I want to stay alone for a while." β
I had no time to close the door, rubbed the jade pendant in my hand, and looked at the word "blue" engraved on it, feeling uneasy.
