012 Bamboo Horse
The grass is green every year, and the king and grandson will not return.
In April, when the grass grows and the warbler flies, the plum rain in the south of the Yangtze River does not stop sprinkling ink, soaking the green willows and saffron flowers in the south of the Yangtze River in the cool smoke and rain.
It had just rained, and the bluestone slabs on the long street and the eaves of the people's houses were darker.
Lin Yu'an walked in one direction with Xianpu, the road was bustling with pedestrians, there were porters who carried the burden to stop and rest, there were old women who bought charcoal to avoid moisture under the eaves, and there were vendors pushing carts along the street to sell, and the cool wind blew over, Lin Yu'an felt very comfortable.
Xian Pu and Lin Yu'an are close in age, they were picked up by Master Lin when they were seven years old, I don't know her birthday, and when I saw that she was pitiful, I left it with the second girl, Lin Yu'an, as a companion.
She has a somewhat naïve temperament, but she is not stupid, which makes it difficult for people to be guarded.
After passing through the long, damp street, you will be greeted by a slightly brighter river.
The small bridge and flowing water, the rain corridor near the river, the boatman chatted and chatted, and the young girl dressed as a woman bent down to wash rice, coarse cloth clothes, revealing the breath of life.
Xian Pu suddenly sighed: "Girl, it's so lonely today, in the past, the master brought us here to ......"
She seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing, so she consciously stopped talking, secretly glanced at Lin Yu'an, and saw that her expression was natural, so she was relieved.
Lin Yu'an's face was quiet, and he walked in the corridor in plain clothes, just like this rainy season with a feeling of coldness.
"If a person is lonely, no matter how lively it is outside, she will also be lonely."
Xian Pu seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and let out a simple "oh", and followed Lin Yu'an quietly.
At the corner, there are spring flowers shining on the water, and the warm and gorgeous flowers are blooming, and Lin Yu'an can't help but stop.
"Girl, this flower is blooming so well."
After the idle words fell, I heard a man's clear voice with a smile: "Haha, it's a coincidence today, I was able to meet Sister Yu'an."
These words were so abrupt, Lin Yu'an looked back, and a man with a straight posture wearing a smoke-blue silk satin embroidered ink bamboo was walking over, with an ink-colored belt around his waist, which modified his figure even more upright.
His eyebrows are clear and handsome, his eyes are like paint, his thin and suitable lips are raising a gentle arc, the satin-like black hair on his head is tied up with a dark wooden hairpin, and the face of the son is like jade, shrouded in an elegant halo.
Lin Yu'an was slightly stunned, came back to his senses and bowed slightly: "Gongzi Li is fine."
Li Shi'an's face froze, he suddenly felt a little lost, and laughed again in an instant: "Why, uncle is gone, Sister Yu'an is going to alienate me, to put it mildly, we are still childhood sweethearts, when I first saw you, you were only seven years old, and you made a grimace at me!"
Yes, Lin Yu'an naturally remembers that they have known each other since childhood, when his father was on an errand in the government, and Li Shi'an's father was a colleague, and he often took her to Li's house as a guest when he was free, which often made the third sister jealous and red-eyed.
I once heard my father say that Li Shi'an's father was released from Beijing to practice, but his temper was quite similar to him, so he was ashamed to deal with him.
It's just that when she was older, her father stopped taking her out to avoid suspicion, and she never saw Li Shi'an again. Naturally, it is not as casual as before, and it is inevitable to be restrained.
Lin Yu'an smiled slightly, and stepped back a little without a trace: "Li Gongzi said that he laughed, Yu'an is just a humble little girl, thanks to his father, he was fortunate to know Li Gongzi, and now his father has passed ......away."
The implication of the words has been revealed, Li Shi'an stepped forward: "Yu'an, remember that you were not like this before, you are innocent and lively, with a bright smile, you like to surround me and let me catch butterflies and crickets for you."
Lin Yu'an's smile was decent, but it exuded a coldness that rejected people.
"Childish play, Li Gongzi still remembers, Yu'an can't remember, it's not early, Yu'an needs to go back."
Li Shi'an looked a little lost, standing in the corridor dressed in poetry and calligraphy, like a handsome boy in an ink painting. watched the girl's thin figure fade away, disappear into the haze of smoke and rain, and never be seen again.
Xian Pu followed step by step, and said with some curiosity: "Girl, I remember that you often went to the Li Mansion when you were young, why are you estranged from Li Gongzi now."
Lin Yu'an saw that he was far away, so he slowed down his pace, and glanced at Xian Pu with disgust: "Now that he has passed the age of the weak crown and has not yet married a wife, I am no longer a child, I should understand that there is a difference between men and women, so naturally I have to stay away."
Xian Pu nodded, she was a person who had no worries, and she left things behind in a blink of an eye, Lin Yuzhu walked aimlessly in front, and she followed quietly.
Seeing that the sky was a little dark, I was afraid that it was going to rain, and the pedestrians on the side of the road were also in a hurry. Xian Pu hurriedly stepped forward: "Girl, let's go back, it looks like it's going to rain again."
Lin Yu'an didn't have any intention of continuing to shop, so he nodded, and walked back with Xianpu.
Before arriving at the Lin Mansion, the rain was dense and heavy, and Lin Yu'an had to wait for the rain to stop under the eaves with Xianpu.
Before the rain stopped, I saw a somewhat familiar person holding something from the direction of Lin's house on Long Street, dodging the potholes on the ground with water stored left and right.
Lin Yu'an was waiting boredly when he heard a voice: "Three girls!"
Turning his head, the man had already approached, and it was the eldest Rongsheng beside the third uncle.
Rong Sheng took the umbrella and hid under the eaves, and the rain fell down from the eaves tiles. Rong Sheng smiled at Lin Yu'an: "The third master knows that the girl is out of the door, and I am afraid that you will be drenched in the rain and the spring cold, so let the little one come and send the umbrella."
Rong Sheng said and handed the umbrella under his arm to Xianpu, and said with a stupid smile: "This umbrella is big, and it can't be drenched by the three girls."
Lin Yu'an nodded gratefully, Xian Pu opened the umbrella, thanked Rong Sheng, and helped Lin Yu An into the rain, and Rong Sheng followed behind.
When I returned to the Lin house, Lin Yu'an's clothes were not wet, but Xianpu's clothes were wet, Lin Yu'an smiled and said to her: "Why don't you care about yourself and cover me with an umbrella, you are really a silly girl."
It was rare to see her own girl laughing and scolding, Xian Pu listened to it as if she had won a reward, and she couldn't stop laughing, and when she arrived at the main house of the main courtyard, Lin Yuan urged her to go back and change her clothes.
Wang Xiaoniang drank the medicine and fell asleep, Wang Zhongjun sat on the high hall, propped up on the cypress high table with one hand, seemed to be thinking about things, and didn't even notice that Lin Yu'an entered the door.
"Third uncle."
Lin Yu'an's soft voice came, and Wang Zhongjun came back to his senses with a smile on his face: "Why did you go out today, the porter said that you went to Fang's house, and I asked people to go to see it."
Lin Yu'an knows that she can't hide anything from this third uncle, the eldest lady now has a headache and brain fever, and she is still worried about everything, so she doesn't have the spare time to find someone to watch her. Uncle is different, there are rich people, and it is easy to inquire about something.
"I think the third uncle knows everything." Lin Yu'an bowed and said, "Today, Yu'an went for a walk outside, which made my uncle worried."
If he really didn't go to Fang's house, Wang Zhongjun relieved himself and said with a smile: "You go back and freshen up first, and come over to have lunch with your mother later."
Lin Yu'an nodded in response, and at this time, Xian Pu also came back, and when he saw his girl going out, he hurriedly opened his umbrella again, and went to the small courtyard in the northwest with Lin Yu'an.
