CHAPTER XXVI

In Linlang Pavilion, Su Jinan leaned on the circle chair of Huanghuali wood and listened to Uncle Qing's chattering voice: "Miss, our Linlang Pavilion has gained a foothold here, and has developed some fixed customers, with you, the future development will only be smoother, you are ......"

Su Jinan held his cheeks and helplessly interrupted Uncle Qing's words that were about to exit: "Okay, Uncle Qing, you don't have to boast about me, I'm not here to inspect, I'm just out to relax, by the way, I tell you to help me pay attention to the affairs of Lin Wenguo's mansion in Taichang Temple, that's all." ”

"Taichang Siqing? The villain has not yet been touched. Uncle Qing thought about it carefully: "They shouldn't have been to our store in the house, but the young lady inquired about the Lin Mansion?" ”

"It's nothing, I just feel that I am still not very familiar with the people in the capital, and I want to know more, so let's do it, if you hear any unusual news, no matter which one it is, let people go to Sufu to inform Xia Qu."

Seeing that Su Jinan didn't mean to elaborate, Uncle Qing didn't ask, since the young lady didn't say it clearly, it was naturally something he didn't need to know, he just needed to do what he was told: "Okay, I understand." ”

Su Jinan came out of Linlang Pavilion, glanced at the sky, there was still a little time, she decided to go to Rong Chengyi's Linjiang Building to try her luck, if Rong Chengyi was there, maybe she could ask Lin Wenguo which camp he was, I hope it was not Rong Chengyi's person, otherwise it would be a little difficult.

This time to Linjiang Lou Su Jinan did not go to the main entrance, but took Xia Qu and powder frost around to a small alley on the side of Linjiang Building, this alley is a dead end, usually almost no one walks, but Rong Chengyi for his own convenience, here opened a side door of Linjiang Building, only the people around him know, last time I met Rong Chengyi here, when I left, Rong Chengyi sent someone to take her this road, today Su Jinan still walked this road for convenience, from the side door here There is a section of stairs leading to the private room on the second floor, Won't be seen by people in the lobby. Speaking of which, this idea was copied by Rong Chengyi from Su Jin'an, when he was in Annan, Su Jin'an made such a design for his Linlang Pavilion and Baiweixuan for his own convenience, but every inch of land in the capital is expensive, Su Jin'an's Linlang Pavilion in the capital does not have such a suitable geographical location, so there is no hidden side door, I don't think that this idea is actually used by Rong Chengyi.

When Su Jinan came to the second floor, she saw Ye Xiu standing in front of Rong Chengyi's private room that was not open to the public, Su Jinan bent the corners of her mouth, it seems that her luck is good, Rong Chengyi is really here.

Ye Xiu also saw Su Jin'an for the first time, and when Su Jin'an approached, he clenched his fist at Su Jin'an: "Miss Su is good." ”

Su Jinan smiled and narrowed her eyes: "Hello Guard Ye!" ”

Ye Xiu lowered his head and didn't speak, just dodged and moved out of the way in front of the door, since the two of them had formed a bond in the cave where they had taken refuge in Huailing, the two of them were always yin and yang when they talked.

Su Jinan left Xia Qu and Powder Cream in place, and stepped forward to knock on the door by himself: "Rongcheng, it's me." ”

There was a very brief pause inside, and then Rong Chengyi's voice came: "Come in." ”

Su Jinan pushed the door in, and before she could speak, she was frozen in place, she felt that Ye Xiu must have deliberately not told her that King Yan was also inside. Looking at Rong Chengyao's cold face, Su Jinan didn't know whether she should cry or laugh, she could only sigh: What a coincidence!

Su Jin'an bowed to Rong Chengyi a little stiffly, and even looked at Rong Chengyi with a look that was not very friendly: "I don't know if the two nobles are gathering here, please forgive me if I don't see it." ”

Rong Chengyi looked at Su Jin'an's somewhat stiff shoulders, and the corners of his good-looking mouth curled slightly, almost imperceptible: "Don't be so polite, didn't I say that the fifth brother is my own person, you are my friend, just be casual in private." ”

Rong Chengyi had also said this before, but for some reason Su Jinan always felt strange and fake when she heard it at this moment, maybe she was thinking too much, Su Jinan comforted herself, she nodded along with Rong Chengyi's words: "Your Royal Highness is your own person, so I don't know that Lord Lin of Dali Temple is your 'own person'?" ”

Su Jin'an directly pointed out the intention to make Rong Chengyi a little surprised, but he still quickly thought of the Dali Temple Secretary she said: "Are you talking about Lin Wenguo?" ”

Su Jinan nodded: "Yes, it's him." ”

Rong Chengyi touched his chin and thought about it: "He seems to be a student of Chen Shangshu, what are you asking him for?" ”

Su Jinan lowered her head and smiled to hide the emotion in her eyes and said, "It's not that I want to inquire about him, it's that he is inquiring about Jun Li, I just help her ask to see if this person can be contacted." ”

Rong Chengyi knew that Jun Li was Su Jin'an, but he was a little puzzled: "He is looking for Jun Li?" He is a person who follows his teacher Chen Ruchang, is cautious, and never easily makes friends with people, I don't know much about him, but I haven't heard of any illness in him? ”

"He only has a daughter under his knees." Rong Chengyao, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke.

Rong Chengyi suddenly said: "Ah-could he ...... No, how do you know he can't give birth, doesn't he have a daughter? ”

"Guess." Rong Chengyi used two words to extinguish Rong Chengyi's interest.

Rong Chengyi said a little casually: "Okay." Then he said to Su Jin'an: "You ...... yourself Tell Jun Li to decide, just let her decide for herself. ”

Su Jinan got the answer she wanted: "Thank you, let's continue to talk, I'll go first." ”

"It's rare for you to come out, how about I invite you to dinner?" Rong Chengyi said to Su Jin.

Su Jinan refused: "No, I promised my mother to go back early." ”

Rong Chengyi raised his eyebrows: "Okay, then I'll invite Mu Qing next time." ”

"Remember my consultation fee, farewell." Su Jinan waved to the two and walked out of the room.

After Su Jinan left, Rong Chengyi said to himself: "It's really in the eyes of money, and you're obsessed with money." ”

Rong Chengjiao ignored what he was muttering and asked, "Who is Jun Li?" ”

"Oh, a traveling doctor from Annan, they are from the same sect." Rong Chengyi replied solemnly.

When Su Jinan returned to Su Mansion, she saw two unfamiliar faces, she guessed that it might be a guest from the mansion, and when she returned to her courtyard, Zizhu, who stayed at home, told her that she was the old lady's maiden niece and nephew, and she had not yet notified everyone, and she wanted to come tomorrow morning when she greeted her and would be officially introduced.

"The old lady's maiden niece? I remember that the old lady only had one sister, and she passed away a few years ago, right? Su Jin'an asked Zizhu.

Zizhu whispered to Su Jin'an: "Yes, I heard that this is the youngest niece of the old lady, who returned from her husband's house not long ago. ”

"Return? Is it to be divorced or to be divorced? ”

"This slave doesn't know."

Su Jinan didn't ask again, anyway, she should know tomorrow.

On the second day, when Su Jin'an asked for peace, she really saw a strange woman, she looked like she was in her twenties, tall and slender, and she could see her delicate figure in winter clothes, her appearance was not outstanding, but she didn't have a pitiful temperament.

The old lady was in a good mood today, smiled and accepted everyone's invitation, and then took the woman's hand and introduced to everyone: "This is the youngest daughter of my mother's sister, my maiden name is Li Moqin, and I haven't seen her for many years, I think she was very close to me when she was a child, but unfortunately her life is not good, after my sister died, her life will not be good, alas, don't talk about this, now that I am alive, she is a big return, then live here with me, I will not let her be bullied." ”

Dafang Yu said with a smile: "Mother still always attaches great importance to affection, don't worry, a few of us will definitely not treat our cousins badly, in terms of seniority, this is still the cousin of the juniors!" ”

"Isn't it? You sisters should also say hello to your cousin. The second room Qin pointed to a few girls and continued.

"The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law said everything that should be said, but I didn't know what to say, in short, my cousin only took care of living and living, and if there was anything needed, just tell us." Mei quipped.

"Who called you the third brother and sister, we have to come in turn-" Qin smiled and accepted Mei's words, and the old lady also laughed.

After everyone laughed, Su Jin'an took the lead to ask Li Moqin for peace: "Jin'an has seen my cousin." Although Su Chan and Su Juan are one year older than Su Jinan, Su Jinan should still salute first, and Su Chan and Su Juan also saluted.

Li Moqin accepted the salute, looked at the flower-like girl in front of her, and there was envy in her eyes: "Aunt is really a blessing, there is not only a pair of twin sisters in her granddaughter, but I heard that Jin'an also has a brother who is a dragon and phoenix." ”

"Yes, but you don't have to envy me, you will be blessed in the future." The old lady smiled.

Li Moqin asked the little maid to present a tray, which contained three delicate sachets: "This is a sachet made by myself, a little bit of my cousin's heart, I hope you don't dislike it." ”

The three of them took the sachet handed over by Li Moqin and thanked them together, Su Jinan looked at the delicate embroidery on the sachet, and thought that he had worked hard: "My cousin's stitching is really special, like the Hunan embroidery in the south?" ”

"Jin'an has good eyesight, exactly, I used to have a housekeeper mother who was a southerner, so I learned from her." Li Moqin said a little modestly.

Everyone talked and laughed around various embroidery methods, and the old lady sent people back, leaving Li Moqin to accompany them for breakfast.

Although there was one more person in the house in the past few days, it did not stir up much waves, and the days passed day by day, and the weather became hotter day by day.

At the beginning of spring, Su Jinan moved a grapevine to the yard from elsewhere, and when it was planted, there was not even a leaf, only a thick and dry trunk, after the summer came, it gradually sent out young leaves, and it was restored to life like a land with a long drought and rain, Su Jinan covered the vines all around the grape trellis, so that she created an independent small world with green, her favorite thing is to hide under the vine to read books and dispense medicines, this kind of comfortable day she has not enjoyed for a long time.
