018 Farewell
Hearing that Brother Zhi'er is now studying at the Li family's house, Lin Yu'an was a little surprised.
But this is not a strange thing, the patriarch of the Lin family wants to send a child to the Li family to study, even if it is to save face, the Li family will agree.
In the past few days, because of the succession, Brother Zhi'er took a few days off from the master of the Li family.
The eldest lady rubbed her eyebrows, looking tired: "The patriarch is scheduled to open the ancestral hall of the Lin family tomorrow, announce the ancestors, and write the name of Zhige'er to your father's name."
Mother Tian was very discerning and hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea for Mrs. Fang.
Lin Yuzhu didn't have any opinions, Lin Yuqing pouted and didn't say anything, Lin Yu'an was like a wooden man, so naturally he wouldn't say anything.
Lin Yu'an knew in her heart that she would just kneel at the door and wait for her ancestors tomorrow, and she couldn't enter the ancestral hall, and besides, they would be leaving soon, so it didn't matter what happened to her.
After the please dispersed, Lin Yu'an went to see Wang Xiaoniang as usual. Lin Yuzhu and Lin Yuqing were left in the side room to speak.
The clouds cover the sky and the sun, and even the wind is a little less warm. It's warm and cold.
When Wang Xiaoniang saw Lin Yu'an coming in, she looked at her with a complicated mood and asked her to sit on the small pestle at the head of the bed.
Lin Yu'an nodded and walked over, seeing that the third uncle had not come today, he should have been here to accompany the little lady for breakfast at this time in the past.
Wang Xiaoniang took Lin Yu'an's hand, her eyes were slightly red: "Sister An, your third uncle said that we will leave for Kyoto in three days."
Lin Yu'an's eyebrows are like a crescent moon, her smile is like a flower, and her goose egg face looks more delicate and moving in the light. This made Wang Xiaoniang's eyes even redder.
Lin Yu'an was surprised, and looked at the little lady with some worry: "Little lady, but what did your daughter say that made you sad?"
Wang Xiaoniang shook her head, stretched out her hand to wipe her tears, she didn't talk much when she entered the door, but she was a little reluctant, after entering Beijing, it was difficult to see her sister An, so it was difficult to control herself for a while, and wiped her tears.
Lin Yu'an didn't know about this, but thought that her mother was reluctant to leave here, so she cried with emotion and didn't think much about it.
Xian Pu shouted softly outside the door: "Uncle Fu'an!"
Then he heard a sound of footsteps approaching, and in a blink of an eye, he opened the curtain and entered the house.
It was Wang Zhongjun, and Lin Yu'an also stood up and saluted: "Third uncle Fu'an."
Wang Zhongjun accepted the salute, asked her to go back and sit down, and let Rong Sheng come in, and Rong Sheng ran in, carrying an octagonal gold painted food box in his hand.
"I'm going to be busy dealing with things these days, by the way, does Sister An know about leaving for Kyoto in three days?" Wang Zhongjun turned to look at Lin Yu'an with his hands down, and then glanced at Wang Xiaoniang.
"I've told her everything." Wang Xiaoniang asked Huo's mother to help her put on a plain coat, and moved slightly to sit up.
Wang Zhongjun nodded, squatted down and carried a kang table on the ground to the bed and placed it in front of Wang Xiaoniang. Rong Sheng put the food on the table.
Lin Yu'an smelled a smell of crabs very keenly, and immediately smiled on his face, so he heard Wang Zhongjun say: "This is for your mother, let's go eat outside."
The table outside has also been set up with the same food as Wang Xiaoniang, but the portion is more.
Steamed crabs, Lin Yu'an still ate them in Li Mansion when she was a child, it tasted delicious, she liked it very much, but her family had never bought these river freshness to eat, and I heard that it was the eldest lady who couldn't smell the fishy smell.
Wang Zhongjun saw that Lin Yu'an liked this crab very much, so he left a plate of crabs to Lin Yu'an, and the corners of his mouth raised: "You like crabs so much, when the autumn is crisp, I will ask the merchant to bring me a few crabs with thick crab roe seeds from the Xiajiang River, and let the chef of Weizhen Pavilion in the capital process it, which will make you full of praise."
Lin Yu'an grinned rarely, revealing neat white millet teeth: "Then thank you to the third uncle!"
Xian Pu stood aside, looking at his girl's greedy appearance, and smiled. But in the end, Lin Yu'an also left a crab for her, and her heart beat with excitement.
After eating crabs and drinking some meat porridge, Lin Yu'an put down the chopsticks and felt extremely satisfied, looking at the cloudy day, he felt that it was sunny.
The third uncle sat down in the high hall to drink tea, Fang's mother lightly withdrew the dishes, Lin Yu'an entered the back room to see Wang Xiaoniang, and saw that she had already put the curtain down for a nap, so she withdrew softly.
"Third uncle, Yu'an still has something to take care of, so I'll go back to the yard first."
Wang Zhongjun agreed, but shouted to her again: "Lin Mansion is like this, you don't have any silver, these ten taels of silver, you keep it as money, if there is anything to do, you don't have to be stretched, if it's not enough, you just care about me."
Saying that, Rong Sheng took a purse and gave it to Xianpu, Lin Yu moved slightly in peace of mind, and said busily: "Yu'an can't accept it."
Wang Zhongjun immediately looked displeased, and Lin Yu'an accepted the money half-pushed.
Walking through the Moon Gate, Xian Pu came forward and said with a smile: "The third uncle is really generous, and now the young lady is the most decent in the house."
Lin Yu'an smiled disapprerovingly: "The third uncle is naturally good, these ten taels of silver, I will have to pay him back in the future." She said and pondered slightly: "But in the Lin Mansion, ten taels of silver is indeed a lot, but if it is in the royal family in the capital, I am afraid that it will still be stretched, so I can't ask for everything."
Xian Pu didn't understand it very well when she heard it, the girl was older and had her own plans, so she said more.
Back in the yard, the things that should be taken care of were all packed up, Lin Yu'an went to the house where the little lady lived to take a look, and saw the little boy napping under the eaves, did not wake him up, and retreated with Xianpu.
Picking up the smoky gray cloth felt, Lin Yu'an entered the house and brought out the basket again, and his face wrinkled: "Girl, make a purse again."
Lin Yu'an nodded, and didn't care about Xianpu's somewhat lazy look, and said with a smile on his face: "I only have to go to the capital in three days, the Wang family has a large population, and it is inevitable to see this sister and that sister when the time comes, we have nothing to do, so we rely on these few purses to give away people to be decent, so naturally we have to do more and be prepared."
Lin Yu'an said and remembered one more thing, so he said to Xianpu: "You go find some elegant brocade threads, the third uncle's jade pendant has been sharpened, make a new one for him."
Xian Pu went to look for the satin and needlework cage in response, and Lin Yu'an sat cross-legged on the kang near the window, doing needlework by the light of the sky.
Outside the window, birds climbed the branches to look into the house, and from time to time they let out a few crisp chirps, and flew to another place.
Xian Pu suddenly let out a low voice: "Huh?"
Lin Yu'an heard the sound and looked over, and saw a small head poking out at the half-hidden door, and retreated.
Lin Yu'an put down the work he was doing, put on his shoes and walked out, and Zhi'er was sitting on the threshold with his hands folded, like a little novice on the mountain hiding outside the door and not chanting.
Lin Yu'an couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile, Lin Zhicai stood up, his eyes were a little misty: "Second sister, I don't want to stay in Linxi Garden, can I play with you for a while?"
As he spoke, he took out the handwriting given to him by Lin Yuzhu from his sleeve: "I practice calligraphy quietly, and I won't disturb the second sister to do things."
There was a little expectation in the lacquered eyes, Lin Yu'an didn't say much, pointed to the small table on the kang, and Zhi'er ran over happily, took off his shoes and climbed onto the kang and sat down cross-legged.
Lin Yu'an said to Xianpu: "You go to Linxi Garden and bring Brother Zhi'er's pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
Brother Zhi'er shook his head hurriedly, and out of nowhere, he took out a pocket-sized box, which contained the four treasures of the study that were particularly small and exquisite.
Lin Yu'an was stunned, and Zhige'er said: "This is what my mother asked the outside master to do for me in order to allow me to study anytime and anywhere, and I will take it with me."
Lin Yu'an was relieved, nodded with a smile, and Xian Pu continued to be busy again. Lin Yu'an thought that Zhige'er's mother must love him very much, so he took the unfinished purse and continued to thread the needle.
A cool breeze outside the window blew into the room, and the words of his brother were rustled, and then there was a rustle of eating mulberry leaves. Lin Yu'an looked up and saw that it was raining again.
A few days ago, the peach and apricot flowers were in full bloom, during this time, the rain did not stop during the day and the pink and white flowers were scattered everywhere, and the flowers on the branches were missing one or two petals, and some of them had only left the stamens, which seemed a little bleak.
"Looking back at the bleak place, there is no wind and rain and no sunshine."
When Brother Zhi'er heard this, he looked at Lin Yu'an with a look of surprise: "What did the second sister read?"
Lin Yu'an smiled and said nothing, and Brother Zhi'er didn't seem to be happy when he saw Lin Yu'an, there was a faint sadness between his eyebrows, and he lowered his head and said no more.
The rain was dense and dense, Xianpu wanted to put the curtain, Lin Yuan waved her hand and said that she was not in a hurry, and she retreated.
Zhige'er wrote a poem that Lin Yu'an had just read on paper neatly, and after several thoughts, he understood the meaning.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of April, and it was also the day when Lin Yu'an and Wang Xiaoniang entered Kyoto. Outside the Lin house, two lacquered wood and blue-curtained carriages were parked, and Lin Yu'an was dressed neatly and glanced at the courtyard where he had lived since birth.
A heavy copper lock locks the laughter and laughter that were once here, and about it, the memories are sealed.
Holding an umbrella, Lin Yu'an walked under the umbrella and glanced back at the courtyard, where a cluster of flower branches fell from the eaves of the green tiles.
In Linxi Garden, Rongsheng and Fang's mother Qi were standing under the eaves, and the figures in the house were walking around, thinking that they were the ones who moved the little lady.
is about to go away, and it is time to say goodbye to Mrs. Fang, Lin Yuzhu and Lin Yuqing came earlier than usual today.
Lin Yu'an walked into the house step by step, Mrs. Fang didn't get up today, she sat on the bed, and Mother Tian said that the eldest lady was suffering from the cold.
But everyone knows it, but I'm afraid that the eldest lady doesn't want to see Wang Xiaoniang.
Lin Yu'an stepped forward and gave a big salute: "The eldest lady is making up, and I am here to say goodbye to the eldest lady before leaving today."
The wrinkles at the corners of Mrs. Fang's eyes became more and more profound, and her eyes were faint, what is the meaning of the old hatred and old hatred in this parting!
"It's a long way, and you cherish it."
The eldest lady held back for a long time before she said such a sentence.
Lin Yu'an was very content, she finally didn't show her face, and it can be regarded as a nominal mother-daughter relationship.
Lin Yuzhu and Lin Yuqing both looked at Lin Yu'an, and their eyes rarely revealed a bit of sincerity, although they couldn't delve into how much was true and how much was false, Lin Yu'an still gave each of them a purse.
At this time, Xian Pu said loudly outside: "Girl, the third uncle is urging."
Lin Yu'an got up at this time, smiled at a few people, turned around and walked out.
