Chapter 12: Fingertips
"This is a unique blue and white wine in Yongxiu County, I don't know what it is made of, but the third aunt told me that there is a taste of blue and white plums in it, come, taste it." Lu Yunque took the cup on the table, poured it full and handed it to Lin Yao.
Lin Yao raised his hand to take the wine, took a small sip, and Lu Yunque looked at Lin Yao with some expectation.
"It has the taste of green plums, but it's very light, and you have to drink it carefully to taste it." Lin Yao put down his wine glass and looked at Lu Yunque: "So can you tell me about you now?"
"What do you want to hear?" Lu Yunque raised his hand and poured himself a glass of water, and said with a smile.
"For example, why do you owe twenty taels of silver, and what exactly do you want to tell me this morning." Lin Yao glanced at Lu Yunque's cup and pointed to the wine jug: "Don't you drink?"
"I don't drink, I pour it when I drink it. The silver is not owed by me, but a note made by my grandfather before his death. With that, he raised his glass and said with a grin, "Replace wine with water."
"Okay", Lin Yao smiled and asked again, "Then what did you want to do with me this morning?" Don't say it's waiting for a guest, I haven't seen your guest since the morning. ”
Lu Yunque lowered his head and touched his nose, and when he raised it again, he said with a gossipy face: "I did come to find Lin Jiaerlang, but not for myself, since Lin Jiaerlang asked, then I won't go around in circles, dare to ask you if you have ever been married?"
Lin Yao was stunned when he heard this, although he had also thought about this possibility, he didn't expect Lu Yunque to ask so bluntly. Although my court is open to the people, women who have not yet come out of the cabinet generally do not ask this kind of question directly.
"Well, not yet." Lin Yao replied.
"Uh, that's. Does the Lin family have a favorite woman? Lu Yunque felt that the reason for his casual talk was a little unbearable.
"Nope"
"That.... What does the Lin family think of my woman in Yongxiu County? ”
"It's okay, some of them are more interesting than those little ladies in Xuzhou." Lin Yao slowly came back to his senses, glanced at Lu Yunque, poured himself another glass of wine, and drank it slowly, "And then?" ”
"There's... A little lady asked me to ask some about Langjun, maybe she likes Langjun. Lu Yunque's voice lowered, the smile on his face became a little embarrassed, he quietly raised his head and glanced at Lin Yao, and immediately lowered his head again.
Lin Yao looked at Lu Yunque's embarrassed appearance, and knew that this little lady must still not be telling the truth, but for some reason, he didn't want to ask any more, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said seriously: "I don't see that the little lady of the Lu family is still doing the matchmaker thing, since this is the case, then I will ask you to bring a message to the little lady, this marriage matter cannot be faked by others, it is best to see each other yourself." After that, he looked at Lu Yunque, whose face was red again, and asked, "Did you say that the little lady of the Lu family?"
"Heh... What Lang Jun said is reasonable, reasonable. Lu Yunque felt that his face was hot again, what was going on? Didn't you get cold in the rain yesterday? It has to be so, it has to be so.
Lu Yunque was seriously thinking about which herbs to eat when he was cold, but suddenly a woman's shrill voice came from his ears: "Yo, isn't this Lu Yaren?" Why did you sit in the corner of the liquor store with a man? Who is this Lang Jun on the other side? Isn't it good for you? ”
Lu Yunque looked up, and it turned out to be the lady of the Wang family from Shengpingfang, standing three steps away, holding a silk scarf embroidered with red flowers to cover her mouth, looking at herself with some sarcasm.
Speaking of this Wang family, the lady of the Wang family is still an old neighbor of Lu Yunque, and she only married a silk merchant from Yong'an Fang to Shengpingfang five years ago.
It's just that the lady of the Wang family has always been unaccustomed to the Lu family, and Grandpa can barely maintain a neighborhood relationship when he is alive, and as soon as Grandpa leaves, he begins to sneer at the Lu family's mother and daughter, and even makes up some rumors about A-Niang to spread everywhere, making the life of the mother and daughter even more sad.
When Lu Yunque was young, he thought that there was something wrong with the two families, otherwise he couldn't make things difficult for others for no reason, and when he grew up, he didn't know that some people, even if you didn't have an enmity with him, he couldn't get used to you, even if it was a flower blooming in your yard, she felt that it was in her way.
Lu Yunque knew that this lady of the Wang family would not say anything good to herself, so she didn't plan to hinder the neighborhood relationship with her, and then turned her head after a light glance, "This is the guest who bought my house, I know that the aunt of the Wang family always likes to look at the handsome man when she is young, and now that she is older, everyone seems to have some personal feelings, I understand it." ”
The lady of the Wang family wanted to ridicule Lu Yunque without shame, but Lu Yunque first opened her mouth to ridicule her, but what Lu Yunque said was also the truth, and she couldn't refute it, so she was speechless for a while, so she could only gouge out Lu Yunque with her eyes.
In fact, Lu Yunque didn't know about these old things of the Wang family's lady, but after becoming a tooth man, he often dealt with those elderly people, Lu Yunque didn't like to talk with people, but when those mothers-in-law talked about some old things and gossip, they occasionally missed a sentence or two in Lu Yunque's ears.
Lu Yunque doesn't like to chew people's tongues, but if you are deceived in front of you, then don't blame yourself for being ruthless, the Lu family is not so easy to bully.
Lin Yao frowned when the lady of the Wang family spoke, this person's tone was mean and the content was vicious, and he wanted to ruin Lu Yunque's reputation.
But seeing that it was a woman, it was not good to say anything, and I wanted to open my mouth to explain, but Lu Yunque spoke first and went back directly, so angry that the woman couldn't speak, seeing the woman's embarrassed appearance, Lin Yao suddenly felt a little refreshed in his heart.
The lady of the Wang family knew that she couldn't take advantage of it today, and after snorting coldly, she lifted the basket on the side and walked out angrily, but she walked too quickly, and the corner of her skirt accidentally hooked to the bench, and she almost fell, and the people around her laughed when they saw this, and the lady of the Wang family was anxious and angry, and kicked off the bench and walked out.
Lu Yunque didn't laugh with the others, but just looked at the lady of the Wang family and walked out, turned back to Lin Yao and said, "I'm really sorry for causing a lot of trouble to the Lin family Erlang today."
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a trivial matter, not to mention that it's still cost-effective to eat the wine of the little lady of the Lu family." Lin Yao laughed heartily, poured himself another glass of wine, and toasted Lu Yunque with a glass, Lu Yunque hurriedly picked up the cup and poured water in return.
After a while, the two walked out of the wine shop, and after looking at the hour, it was almost noon, Lu Yunque still felt a little guilty about Lin Yao in his heart, so he took the initiative to follow Lin Yao, saying that he wanted to send him back to welcome guests.
Lin Yao did not refuse, and the two of them walked slowly all the way. Yesterday it rained heavily, the streets were washed clean, there was still a faint smell of grass and trees in the air, and most of the people went home to cook, only occasionally one or two people walked by.
Lin Yao is not short, Lu Yunque can only reach his shoulders, today Lin Yao is wearing a wide-sleeved robe with water lake blue, Lu Yunque glanced at the cloth strips on his fingertips a little scattered, a small white thread leaked out, and his hand swung in the air, looking very eye-catching, making people want to tear it off.
Lu Yunque didn't want to do it, but the two didn't say anything all the way, this line was too eye-catching, and after being entangled for a long time, Lu Yunque still decided to quietly tear it off.
The cloth strips for dressing are loosely woven, and you only need to pinch the thread and pull it gently, and you're done.
Lu Yunque thought about it and took action, and boldly moved his hand slowly, the lines were quite long, and Lu Yunque pinched it very lightly, secretly took a breath, and pulled it down neatly.
Lin Yao was walking well, but he suddenly felt a force coming from his right hand, and when he looked down, he saw that the strip of cloth on his fingertips was being pinched in his hand by the little lady of the Lu family, and the distance between the two fingertips was only half an inch.
Lu Yunque was a little embarrassed for a while, feeling the gaze from Lin Yao on his head, and he didn't dare to look up at him, why, why did the people in the medicine hall tie the cloth strips to a small knot!
"What is the little lady of the Lu family going to do?" Lin Yao asked.
"Well, this strip of cloth has a thread that has slipped out, and it looks a little unsightly, so ....."
"So you secretly took my hand?" Lin Yao frowned.
"No... No, not pulling your hand, I just pulled that strip of cloth. Lu Yunque hurriedly denied it, so anxious that he couldn't say anything.
"Then can the little lady of the Lu family let go first?" Lin Yao moved his fingertips, but accidentally touched Lu Yunque.
Lu Yunque hurriedly withdrew his hand, although his face was not red this time, but his whole ear was red.
Lin Yao raised his hand and pulled out the thread, and shook his fingertips in front of Lu Yunque's eyes, "The little lady of the Lu family is still satisfied." ”
"Hmm... Hmm," Lu Yunque nodded awkwardly.
Lin Yao looked at Lu Yunque like this, opened his mouth and laughed, and then said, "If you have anything, just tell me directly, don't be so sneaky."
Lu Yunque was even more embarrassed when he heard this, and he wanted to bury his head in the soil.
Lin Yao didn't say anything more, and slowly walked towards the guests, but suddenly felt that the scenery on the side of the street seemed to be better than just now.
When he arrived at the door of the welcomer, Lu Yunque hurriedly said goodbye to Lin Yao, turned around and left quickly.
Lin Yao stood at the door, looked at Lu Yunque's back and smiled unconsciously, tilted his head to look at his right hand, and moved his fingertips.
Lu Yunque can't wait to run at this moment! hurried all the way back home, pushed open the door of the bedroom, threw himself directly on the bed, and buried his whole face in the quilt. It's a shame! It's a shame to be thrown home! Is this Lin Jiaerlang a conflict with himself? Why did he bump into all the humiliating things!
After rolling twice on the bed, Lu Yunque sat up and leaned on the bed frame and pondered for a while, but finally didn't come up with a reason.
