Chapter 24: The Source of Noodles
She rushed to him and cried out in chagrin, "Why did it take so long to come back, halva?" β
Without waiting for him to reply, she tugged at his sleeve.
It is a delicate and supple cloud brocade fabric, where is Song Shuyu's cold torn jacket?
"Girl, you recognize the wrong person." His voice was cold, but not annoyed.
Shu Tan raised his head in a daze, the man had already reached out and lifted his white-faced fox-
His pale eyes looked into her eyes, thin lips similar to his, but the face in front of him was delicate and handsome, not as pale as his.
"I'm sorry, I-"
The carriage hurried by, and next to it was a restaurant that lit a string of explosions in order to attract customers.
"Shhhh
A passing horse kicked forward and galloped wildly, smashing in all directions, knocking over several stalls one after another, eating, and spilling lanterns all over the ground.
The playfulness in the streets was broken in an instant, and the pedestrians on the road screamed and hurriedly dodged.
The horseman sweated like rain, trying to pull the reins, but he could not stop the frightened horses.
The horse's ass shook past the small dirt cart full of citrus from the roadside vendor, and the cart tilted to the sideβ
Shu Tan hurriedly dodged back, and in a hurry, he seemed to forget that under his feet was the bank of the Wen River.
Snowflakes fall into the water and melt. The delicate lanterns of various colors ripple in circles with the water lines, like sparks.
"Puff pass" -
The delicate butterfly mask fell into the water, and the splashed droplets hit the lantern, causing the lantern to rise and fall in shock.
The frightened horses were finally restrained by the panting grooms, and the small waves that had just fallen with the snow continued to laugh and laugh at the vendors and the parades.
The drums are noisy, the figures are uneven, and the road is full of fragrant musk.
Shutan stood on the edge, his whole body hanging in the air, and his big white palm like bamboo shoots tightly grasped a small arm.
The lotus lanterns floated along the Wen River with the water, floating past them.
The cold wind ruffled her black hair, and strands of it twisted in the wind, and a few strands pressed against her cheeks.
The clear apricot eyes are like spring apricot blossoms, and the shallow moonlight entangles her face in the light of the lights.
Lin Nanrui never thought that he would be able to see such a face in his life.
He became excited, his face was almost uncontrollable, and he suddenly pulled Shutan into his arms.
Shu Tan was shocked by his sudden action. Hurriedly broke free, bent down to thank him, and then hurriedly turned around and ran into the sea of people.
Lin Nanrui was still like a dream, he didn't react, and when he wanted to hold her, the person had already disappeared in the crowd.
Shutan hurried along the road, and a hand stretched out next to her to intercept her.
Song Shuyu looked normal, and asked her with a smile: "What are you doing in a hurry?" β
"You, you're embarrassed to say, why did you wait so long to come back?"
"Because, because I found a way to make money!" He raised his eyebrows, looking quite proud.
Shutan hurriedly tugged at his sleeve and asked him what it was.
Song Shuyu sold Guan Zi and didn't tell her.
When the two of them came home, they climbed back over the wall, but when they came down, she accidentally twisted her foot.
Shutan twitched in pain, and Song Shuyu helped her into the house, lit an oil lamp, and held ice and snow outside in a tea cup.
He stepped forward to help her take off her shoes and socks, but Shutan hurriedly stopped her.
How could a girl who had not left the cabinet casually touch the man's feet.
Song Shuyu was speechless, went out to find a piece of cloth, covered her instep, and covered her hand with her sleeve.
Shu Tan nodded at this time.
He took the tea cup and gently moved it on the instep of her foot, and the slightest cool feeling took away some pain,
Shutan was comfortable, with his eyes closed. After a while, she said softly, "Today I saw a person who looks like you, and he saved me." β
The hand that gave her ice paused, and Song Shuyu's eyes lifted.
-
Lin Nanrui returned to the inn, it was already late at night, but he couldn't rest yet.
From the secret letter from the spy who was planted next to the woman, the file of Dali Temple, and even some documents on his desk, he had to read them one by one.
No one can help him, and he can't trust others, so he has to stay up late into the night many times.
In the past, he had done these things well without complaint, after all, he was destined to bear the load.
But now he looked at the whole case......
Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and swept the paperwork and letterheads.
Extremely tired today, Lin Nanyu rubbed his head and leaned on the wooden chair to take a nap.
The pine oil lamp on the long table burned to the ground, and the study suddenly darkened.
Lin Nanqing's eyelids moved sensitively with the change of light, and he had always been unstable in sleeping.
In the dream, she was still the same face as soft as an apricot blossom, she poked his little head, and her voice was as soft as water.
He buried his head in her arms, rubbing the fabric of her sleeve.
She said to him, "Sleep well, Auntie is here." β
The sunlight outside the window was warm, and the gentle wind blew in from the window, comfortable and reassuring, like her embrace.
She was his aunt.
The Queen Mother liked this niece very much, and asked her brother to stay by her side.
Lin Nanrui is also very happy, because he likes her the most.
The aunt would hum the gentlest tune to lull him to sleep.
My aunt will secretly hide what the Queen Mother rewarded her and keep it for him.
My aunt loved him very much, compared to his royal brothers and sisters, compared to his father and mother.
My aunt has a good temperament, she is good-looking, and her body is so fragrant, just like her name.
Smell the fragrance.
Smell the fragrance and treat him like a mother.
Lin Nanyu's mother only cared about competing for favor with him day and night, and tried her best to make the Zhu family prosperous.
What about the father, not to mention. He has so many sons and concubines, and when he sees him, he just routinely asks about trivial things, which is perfunctory.
Only smelling incense.
In the dream, he raised his eyes and looked at his aunt, who smiled faintly at him and took a small fan to fan him.
"Yu'er, go to sleep."
He wanted to touch the hand that smelled the incense.
Just as she was about to meet her, her face began to blur.
Rouwan's face was full of red tears, she was wearing a red wedding dress, crying and shouting to him: "Yu'er, my aunt is afraid, my aunt doesn't want to marry Chen Guo......"
His heart fluttered, and his arms struggled in horror.
Lin Nanyu opened his eyes suddenly, his hands were still shaking, his face was excited and distorted, and he wiped it on his face.
Wet and cool.
The door creaked open, and the guards dressed in black with knives knelt down in front of him: "Master." β
"Hmm." He regained his expression and replied lightly.
He took his fingers and tapped them on the table, and the sound of tapping was particularly clear in the long night.
The black-clothed guard stepped forward and whispered beside him: "Chen Guodong Palace has come to report, I heard that the concubine's widow may be ...... in the world."
His eyes were closed, and the candle flame gave his face a hazy hue.
The black-clothed guard finished his prayer and stood silently on the side.
Lin Nanyu hooked his fingers, and the black-clothed guard leaned over to listen to his instructions.
