Chapter 304: Memories
"That's good." Lin Feng smiled.
"It would be nice if I could be like Lingyue, open a academy and recruit some children from poor families to study, if it is a woman who is willing to study, it would be better." Lin Jinlan held her face in her hands, full of longing for the future.
It's just that this longing is just a longing, because Lin Jinlan knows better than anyone that with her current status, it is impossible to open a academy and become a teacher.
Not to mention that Great Xia does not allow women to study in the academy at all, it is also unprecedented for women to be teachers, not to mention that it is not allowed for women to go to the academy to study.
Lin Jinlan said unintentionally, but Song Lingyue and Tang Yuan fell into deep thought.
"You are really getting bigger and more ridiculous, if your mother knew that you went to study in the academy without telling her before, wouldn't you be angry with her." Lin Feng tapped Lin Jinlan's forehead, "I don't think I should take you out, lest you play wild, and when you go back, my mother will say that I took you badly." ”
"Brother!" Lin Jinlan dragged out her tone, with dissatisfaction: "You don't know how difficult it has been for me in the past few months, every day I either learn "Women's Rules" and "Women's Training" or learn women's popularity, my ten fingers are all needle eyes, you see." ”
Lin Jinlan spread out a pair of slender and tender hands in front of Tang Yuan and Song Lingyue, wrinkling a smiling face, looking pitiful.
Song Lingyue looked down and saw that Lin Jinlan's fingertips were as white as jade, and the fingers of her slender hands were as well maintained as green onions, where could she see the appearance of a pinhole.
Besides, with Mrs. Lin's motherly heart, if Lin Jinlan really made a female red with pinholes all over her hands, she would definitely be distressed a long time ago, and she would not be allowed to be a female celebrity.
"See for yourself, your hands are raised with balsam every day, where are the pinhole calluses?" Lin Feng grabbed Lin Jinlan's wrist and observed carefully.
Lin Jinlan stuck out her tongue and glared at Lin Feng angrily: "Even if you don't have holes in your hands, you have been pierced several times, and you still bleed." ”
"When you were a child, you climbed trees to dig birds' eggs, caught grasshoppers, caught crickets, and lived like a tiger, and you were crazier than a boy. Another time you picked up a bird's egg and was pecked by a magpie, and the blood came out, which scared me half to death, but you held the chick and laughed happily.
Now that I've grown up, I'm getting more and more squeamish, and I'm not as solid as when I was a kid before. Lin Feng did not hesitate to dismantle Lin Jinlan.
Lin Jinlan pulled Lin Feng's sleeve, looked at Song Lingyue and Tang Yuan embarrassedly, and saw that Song Lingyue and Tang Yuan both looked like they couldn't help laughing, and their faces were embarrassed:
"Brother, you shook out all the things I did when I was a child and went out of my girl's house like this, don't I want to lose face?"
Lin Feng smiled narrowly: "Do you still know how to be shy?" But it's okay, it's all your own people here, and everyone won't laugh at you, besides, isn't what I'm saying the truth? ”
The joke in that voice was a little more flavorful.
"Brother, if you say that, I would say that you were ten years old......" Lin Jinlan had just gotten up, and Lin Feng immediately covered her mouth with his eyes.
"What, what! It's all your own people here, wouldn't it be nice to share your childhood anecdotes with others and make everyone laugh? Lin Jinlan tore Lin Feng away and covered her mouth, and returned what Lin Feng had just said to him as it was.
"My little aunt, I was wrong, it's all my fault, okay! You can save some face for your brother! Lin Feng looked at Lin Jinlan pleadingly, but the corner of his eye was thinking of Tang Kite.
Lin Feng didn't say that it was okay, everyone was even more interested in this gossip, and Song Lingyue asked even more curiously:
"Brother Lin, what happened to you when you were ten years old? Did something interesting happen? ”
Even Tang Kite, who had always been cold, pricked up his ears and looked this way.
Lin Jinlan raised her eyebrows at Lin Feng proudly, as if she was saying, "What should I do?" Now you have to say it if you don't say it."
Lin Feng could only speak helplessly, and specially warned a few people: "I told you that it is not impossible, but you know that you must promise not to laugh at me in the future." ”
"We promise, we promise." Song Lingyue, Qi Mo, and Tang Yuan all spoke in unison, looking at Lin Feng waiting for him to speak.
Lin Feng cleared his throat, looked around, looked at the faces full of anticipation, and only felt that it was impossible to catch the ducks on the shelves, so he twisted for a moment, and could only speak:
"Ten years ago, when I was 10 years old, there was a great drought in Jizhou, and the people said that they would hold a festival and pray for good weather in the coming year. I don't know who said it, but I want to pick two children about ten years old to dress up as a boy and girl who sits down as Guanyin. ”
"My father and mother thought that this was a brilliant thing, so I asked Jinlan to try it, but I didn't expect it to happen. However, to become a virgin, she needed to sit on a high platform, which was two or three feet high, and Jinlan couldn't breathe when she went up. ”
"My mother was so distressed to see her like that, I said that she wouldn't go, but I couldn't find another girl of the age for a while, so I could only pretend to be a virgin like her."
When Lin Feng said this, Song Lingyue and Qi Mo exchanged glances, and both of them already had smiles in their eyes, but they both tried their best not to laugh.
Probably such a humiliating thing was said, Lin Feng had no scruples, took a sip of tea, and said:
"It's nothing, but the most infuriating thing is that the boy who pretended to be a boy was a bad boy, and he pulled my hair and my skirt, and made me angry half to death, and when the parade was over, he dragged him to a remote place and beat him severely."
Everyone thought that the story was over here, but they didn't expect Lin Feng's face to turn black and black, and he said with annoyance:
"That damn boy actually ripped my pants! Rip my whole pants off! I was beating him to the fullest, and I felt a chill down there, and as soon as I looked up, he stared straight at me, and I ran home with a snort. ”
"And then?" Qi Mo asked with interest, narrowing his eyes slightly, "Why do I feel that this story doesn't seem to be over?" ”
Lin Feng's face was completely dark, and it seemed that he didn't want to say anything even if there was a follow-up, Lin Jinlan on the side covered her mouth and laughed:
"Later, the little boy didn't know what to tell his father, and his father came over with the dowry to marry my brother."
"Still laughing, if it weren't for my father and mother to explain it clearly, the person who would marry would be you." Lin Feng pretended to glare at Lin Jinlan viciously, but there was no sense of threat at all in that vicious voice.
"Poof." Song Lingyue couldn't help but laugh out loud, this laugh was not tight, and the few people who were already enduring it were also like they couldn't help it, their shoulders trembled and they laughed.
Lin Feng angrily scolded a few people: "You guys just promised me, you won't laugh." ”
Song Lingyue covered her stomach, laughing so much that tears were about to come out, and while wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, she gasped and said:
"Haha, Brother Lin, I'm really embarrassed, I can't help but want to laugh when I think that you are pretending to be a girl and being taken by a boy."
Noticing that Lin Feng's face was obviously darkened, Song Lingyue hurriedly made up for it:
"However, this also shows that Brother Lin, you are good-looking, otherwise how could a boy fall in love with you at first sight."
Lin Feng's originally relieved face turned completely black after hearing Song Lingyue's words.
Lin Jinlan laughed and trembled, patted the back of Song Lingyue's hand and said, "That's right, that's right!" I also think my brother's charm is very great, both men and women! ”
Even Tang Kite, who was not smiling, couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips under the teasing of Song Lingyue and Lin Jinlan.
It's rare to see her smile like that. Lin Feng thought silently in his heart, and he didn't feel ashamed anymore.
The corners of Qi Mo's lips curled, taking Lin Feng's thoughts in his eyes, taking a sip of hot tea, and raising his eyebrows at Lin Feng with interest, Lin Feng only pretended not to see the ridicule in his eyes.
Lin Feng coughed lightly twice and changed the subject: "But I heard that there are not many shows in this Baolin Building?" Why does it seem to be quite quiet at this time, it doesn't look like there is a show to perform. ”
Song Lingyue explained with a smile: "It's a pity that you didn't come here, there is only one storyteller here in the Baolin Building this morning and afternoon, and you won't be able to enjoy the song and dance until the evening." ”
"You can only see singing and dancing at night? I thought I'd be able to see it in the afternoon. Lin Jinlan couldn't hide her disappointment on her face.
"I'm afraid that the dance from such a teahouse is not something that we women can enjoy, right?" Tang Yuan casually picked up a piece of golden silk baked cake and took a bite, with a little contempt in his words.
Song Lingyue frowned slightly, only thinking that Tang Yuan had misunderstood, so she smiled and said: "Although I can perform singing and dancing, it is not that kind of kitsch dance, and there are many female guests here who come to watch." ”
"Some time ago, the ladies of several families came to ask if they could invite the dancers to the house to teach dance skills."
"Although those dancing girls have fallen into the land of wind and dust, they are also clean and clean. If it weren't for that, they wouldn't have been invited to Baolin Tower. ”
"If they trespass in any way, or if any of the guests try to do anything to them, it is not allowed in the Bolling House."
"Many of those dancing girls have a rough background, and the only thing they want is a green tile to shelter from the wind and rain. With Baolin Building giving them a job, their life in Cuixiangju will be much better. ”
"Ling Yue is still the same as before, so soft-hearted." Lin Jinlan couldn't help but say.
"This is not my attention, it is the big boss of this Baolin Building who invited them to dance in Baolin Building, Song Xuanran. All I had to do was make rules to keep them out of harassment. ”
The reason why such a rule was set was also because Song Lingyue came here to inspect some time ago, and unexpectedly found that some unpopular guests tried to come to the stage to pull those beautiful dancing girls to sit down and drink with them.
Seeing this, Song Lingyue hurriedly called someone over, drove the guests away, and painted a portrait at the door of Baolin Building, saying that such guests would not be welcome in Baolin Building in the future.
Since then, there has been a new rule in Baolin Building, all guests can only listen to the music quietly, if you really like to enjoy a certain dancer or luthier, you can pay for flowers for that dancer and luthier.
