After Shen Huaijin knew that Su Zijin would go to the Prodigal Son Pavilion every day to look for Ah Jing, he actually specifically searched for the old bustard of the Prodigal Son Pavilion, Blue Butterfly, and ordered her not to reveal her identity, but he revealed his relationship with Su Zijin.

Since then, Blue Butterfly has been respectful to Su Zijin, and even treated Ah Jing a lot better. Blue Butterfly first changed a more spacious and comfortable room for Ah Jing, and also arranged a girl to take care of Ah Jing.

As the days passed, Su Zijin spent the rest of his time in the Prodigal Son's Pavilion, except for the occasional return to the Lin Mansion to chop some firewood.

Ah Jing saw her come to the Prodigal Son's Pavilion again and again, which was still some distance away from the Ronglu Inn where she lived.

Su Zijin wanted to bring the two of them back together and Nian Yi together, so that he could be regarded as successfully completing the task when he came.

The autumn breeze is cool, and the red maple everywhere spreads all the way to the official road, and in late autumn, the fallen leaves begin to show a withered yellow state.

In the carriage, Nian Yi'an sat quietly opposite Zhou Linlou, opening the curtain from time to time to let the cool breeze blow into the carriage.

Zhou Linlou was closing his eyes to recuperate, although the curtain of the car was lifted and the cool breeze blew through him from time to time, but he never opened his eyes.

Nian Yi saw that he was resting, so he didn't make a sound, until the carriage stopped steadily, he pulled Zhou Linlou's sleeve and reminded him gently: "Brother Linlou, it's here." ”

The warm eyes opened in a moment, like a butterfly shaking its wings, trembling up, and his calm gaze fell on Nian Yi, he said, "Well, get out of the car." ”

After entering the gate, Nian Yi's eyes moved around, full of praise.

The Zhou Mansion gives people a sense of solemnity, and when you enter the door, it is a hundred-year-old pine, strong and strong, and it is intricately rooted in the center of the courtyard, and it is a green shade for all around.

In the shade of greenery, there is a stone table and four round stools.

After returning home, he seemed to have unloaded his usual high-mindedness in Taixue and rejection of people thousands of miles away, and became closer to Nian Yi.

Zhou Linlou said: "There are slightly more brothers and sisters in the family, so I built a square stone table." Occasionally, when it was hot in the house, the master also taught here," he was a little more interested, "At that time, no matter what the festival, I had to organize some activities for the children of my generation, whether it was to sing poems, or guess the riddles of lanterns, or gather here to enjoy the autumn chrysanthemums picked in the backyard." ”

Nian Yi was envious, and his heart was slightly sour. The atmosphere of the Zhou family is something he has never felt since he was born.

I can't even get the most basic parental love, let alone the warmth of relatives gathering together?

Seeing that Nian Yi's expression was slightly gloomy, Zhou Linlou noticed that what he had just said was a little inappropriate, so he changed the topic and pointed to a door, "That is my room." ”

Nian Yi raised his head and saw that it was the second floor, so he followed Zhou Linlou upstairs.

Pushing open the door, there is a sense of freshness in the room, the wooden floor is dusty, and the interior is even more meticulous, it is obvious that someone will come to clean and tidy up every day.

Afraid that Nian Yi would be restrained, Zhou Linlou sent the servant out, "I'll receive the distinguished guests here." ”

He had already greeted the servant before, and he did not want others to know that he had brought guests to the house, for he did not like to be approached by people, and if his parents knew that he had brought a friend back, he would have to greet him with great fanfare.

Nian Yi walked in the room a little cramped and uneasy, Zhou Linlou saw his uneasy appearance, and said softly: "Don't be restrained, today my parents went to Zun Qianshan to incense, my brothers and sisters went to school, and there is no one at home, so you don't have to be so restrained." ”

Hearing him say this, Nian Yi relaxed.

Originally, what he was most worried about was a scholarly family like Zhou Linlou, and he was a big family in the capital, so whether he would have any requirements for choosing friends.

If he knew that his sister was a servant and came from a poor family, he might prevent Zhou Linlou from associating with him.

This is what Nian Yi is most worried about.

In all fairness, Zhou Linlou treated him very well, which was almost in stark contrast to the other noble sons and sisters in Taixue.

It is precisely because he knows Zhou Linlou's sacrosanct status in Taixue that he has always been so flattered. While enjoying Zhou Linlou's treatment of him, he was also uneasy about this inexplicable goodness.

Zhou Linlou saw him standing by the window, and his mind didn't know where he had flown away. After knowing him for these days, Zhou Linlou has almost clearly touched his habits, and he also knows what he looks like.

Zhou Linlou brewed the hot tea and said loudly: "What are you doing while standing?" Warm up with a cup of hot tea. It's autumn, shouldn't you pay attention to your body? ”

Nian Yi picked up the teacup, put it to her lips, sipped it gently, and her eyes brightened a lot, "Good tea." ”

Zhou Linlou nodded, took the tea box and put it in front of him, "This is Ganze tea picked in Xiangshan, although the color is lighter, the taste is very fragrant." ”

As he spoke, he pushed the teabox to him, "If you like it, take it back." If you still want to drink later, write to me and write the address, and I will send it every once in a while. ”

Nian Yi lowered his head timidly, "Brother Linlou is so friendly, I am really flattered." ”

Zhou Linlou actually showed a happy smile for no reason, "Let you take it, what are you doing with this nonsense." ”

After the two of them went downstairs, Zhou Linlou said: "I said before that I want to eat for you, go, go up the mountain with me." ”

The Zhou Mansion is built on a mountain, which is not high, but it is covered by verdant trees.

The two climbed the stairs and reached the top of the mountain from time to time. The sun is not dry, and there is a gentle wind blowing in the forest, which is very pleasant.

Zhou Linlou took off his coat and hung it on a tree, brought two shovels from somewhere on the mountain, threw one to Nian Yi, and then began to dig a pit next to a tree.

"I buried a bottle of homemade peach blossom brew here five years ago, and now I don't know what it tastes like."

Nian Yi was quite surprised, "Why did you remember to drink it today?" ”

Asked about this, Zhou Linlou paused, and his hand continued to move.

It took a long time for a clear voice to cross the silent afternoon, "It's just that I haven't found anyone I want to drink with." ”

Nian Yi was silent for a moment when he heard this, and a trace of indescribable joy crossed his heart.

From time to time, the peach blossom brew was taken into Zhou Linlou's hands.

Zhou Linlou weighed it in his hand for a while, and then carefully checked the condition, and said with satisfaction: "I don't know how it tastes." ”

As he spoke, he pulled out the cork and poured the liquor into the two wooden cups he had brought from the bottom of the mountain.

It has a light pink color and a sweet taste.

Nian Yi blinked, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, pick up the wine glass and drink it all.

This wine is extremely mellow, and exudes the sweetness of peach blossoms, and exudes a fresh fragrance of flowers, so when it slowly creeps into the root of the tongue, it is unsatisfying.

His eyes narrowed with enjoyment, "It's a great taste." ”
