Chapter 314: A Chance Encounter

Today's Mother's Day, Xiaoyi wishes the mothers of all book friends a happy, healthy and long life, and wishes the book friends who are mothers a happy and happy wish.

I don't know when it rained, the raindrops hit the window lattice, making a lonely knocking sound, Lu Lu couldn't sleep well all night, and woke up when he heard the sound.

He opened his eyes and looked at the dark tent for a while, a small smile appeared on his lips, he moved his hands and feet slightly, leaned over to Lin Jinrong, hugged her tightly, hugged her waist, and blew in her ear.

Lin Jinrong was sleeping soundly, and pushed him a little annoyed. Lu Lu simply bit her shoulder lightly, and the tip of her tongue scratched back and forth on the sensitive part of her earlobe a few times. Sure enough, Lin Jinrong shuddered and sighed softly: "It's raining again?" ”

"Hmm." Lu Lu took her under him, buried his head and kept kissing.

Lin Jinrong closed his eyes slightly, and whispered, "How long do you have to live in the old mansion?" I don't know how Dou'er packed their luggage. ”

Since I came to the old house a few days ago to worship my ancestors, it has been raining, suddenly big, suddenly small, lingering very much. This kind of weather is not suitable for the road, and there are always countless people who know or don't know in Pingzhou City to have a treat, and Lu Mu can't stand it every day, and the old lady Lu is very distressed.

Lu Mian likes the cleanliness of the old mansion very much, and he also likes to talk to people in the same clan, but Lin Jinrong doesn't like it here, he only feels depressed and dull. In addition, there is a Song who basically does not show up, but makes people feel everywhere, every time a cat runs over the wall and the roof, she feels a pair of eyes staring at her in the corner.

There was finally a glimmer of light outside, and Lu Lu let out a sigh of relief and said, "If you don't like to stay here, we'll pack up and go back in the afternoon." ”

Lin Jinrong straightened out his loose hair and complained: "I always feel that this place is too narrow, too dark, too humid, and there are always some unexplained noises. "Although this old mansion has been renovated in Lu Shao's hands, it can't change that pattern after all.

Lu Lu opened her sweaty palm and shook her fingers: "I thought the same thing when I was a child, and every time I went back to the old house, I was very uncomfortable. ”

Lin Jinrong said: "I heard that the old mansion once resisted Darong's stragglers in the ancestors and kept the old and young of the clan? ”

Lu Mian said with great certainty: "Yes." Although it was just a few stragglers at that time, if there was no old mansion, or if the old mansion was not strong, the Lu family's clansmen would have been slaughtered. ”

Lin Jinrong's heart moved: "Then if there is a sudden disaster now, what will everyone do?" Lu Lu said: "There is a big bell in the southeast corner of the ancestral hall, and when there is a big event, the bell rings, and the old mansion must be opened to accept the clansmen." ”

Lin Jinrong was relieved: "It's been raining today, let's go back tomorrow, I still have a lot of things to explain to the third brother, and I don't worry about the luggage they packed." ”

The next morning, although it did not rain, the sky was gloomy. Lu Lu and Lin Jinrong said hello to the Song family and took the car back to Pingzhou. The road was flooded for many days, muddy and difficult to walk, although it was a cart pulled by a bullock, it was still a lot of effort. Waiting until noon, the city wall of Pingzhou was already in sight, and suddenly it rained, first it was a light rain, and then it turned into a heavy rain, so big that the unobstructed coachman and the accompanying longevity and other people could not cover it at all, not to mention walking, it was difficult to breathe, Lu Lu ordered people to find a home in front of him to hide from the rain.

Reluctantly struggled forward for about half a mile, Fang saw that there was a room faintly in the white rain and fog, the handlebar type Lao Wang was overjoyed, turned around and knocked the whip on the wall of the car, and said loudly: "Second master, the little one remembers that there is a tea house in front of me, let's go there to rest, and we can also ask for a bowl of hot soup to warm up." ”

Lu Mian didn't make sense: "Hurry up, let the store boil some ginger soup for everyone to drink, find a place to dry clothes, wait for the rain to light up and then leave, don't be stingy with money." ”

Seeing hope, not only people have come to the spirit, but even the cows and horses have come to the spirit, desperately striving to move forward. Soon arrived at the door, Changshou shouted a few times, and someone came out quickly wearing a coat and hat, negotiating with Changshou in a whisper, and led Changshou in.

"They all blame me, I should have waited for the weather to stabilize before leaving." Lin Jinrong lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out, but saw that there were many horses and passers-by crowded under the tea house, and it was even more crowded with people.

Lu Mian saw the scene in front of him clearly, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's not that you are fooled alone, the two of us, Cherry, and Shuangquan can hide in this car, as long as Lao Wang and Changshou have a place to hide." ”

Suddenly, he saw Changshou running out quickly, and laughed: "Second Master, good luck, Second Master Wu is also here, and he has also occupied a pavilion and built a small stove, inviting you to go in and rest." Then I saw Wu Xiang wearing a plain green clothes, standing under the corridor and looking in this direction, although his face was smiling, his expression was also very calm, but the person was a lot less, and he couldn't see the flying of his heart that didn't care about everything at the beginning.

Sure enough, he was extremely concerned, Lin Jinrong couldn't help but sigh secretly, and looked back at Lu Xuan: What should I do? ”

Lu Lu said: "I always want to see this side, he is only afraid that he will also go to Jiangnan to take up his post, since he has bumped into it, let's talk about it." So he called the handlebar type to drive the ox cart all the way to the porch, let Changshou hold a big umbrella over, and carried Lin Jinrong to the porch. Lin Jinrong stood still, the corners of his skirt and the soles of his shoes were clean, and there was not a trace of rain splashed, and when he raised his head again, he met Wu Xiang's smile, and he also pretended to be okay and saluted Wu Xiang: "I haven't seen Second Brother Wu for a long time." ”

"Long time no see." Wu Xiang cupped his fists and returned the salute: "I thought I wouldn't be able to see you before leaving, but I still met you." Congratulations first. ”

Lin Jinrong had a lot of things to say to him, but he felt that the comforting words were not what Wu Xiang needed, nor was it suitable for her to say, so he said, "I also congratulate Second Brother Wu." ”

Lu Lu stomped off the muddy water on the soles of his shoes, hugged his fists with Wu Xiang and said, "Go in and talk." ”

"I sent a friend out of the city, who knew that this ghost weather was so weird, and it stopped people here, I still didn't bring an oil-jacket umbrella, if I wasn't lucky to see this tea house, I would have died of embarrassment today. As soon as the clothes were dried and the shoes and socks were still damp, you came. Wu Xiang sat in front of the window, lowered his eyes and lifted the boiling tea soup on the small red clay stove, and slowly poured it into the coarse porcelain cup in front of Lin Jinrong and Lu Mian, "He only has this here, and he will leave it." I burned the tea over the fire, so it was fragrant when it came out. ”

Lin Jinrong hurriedly covered it in his hand: "It's good to be clean." But he was a little surprised: "I remember that Second Brother Wu used to be very particular about food, why didn't he dislike it this time?" At that time, the Tao family took Wu Xiang to Qingzhou together, and the Wu family specially prepared a cook for Wu Xiang to follow.

Wu Xiang smiled indifferently: "People always change." Before, you thought something was important, and suddenly you woke up one morning and it didn't matter anymore. Then he asked Lu Xuan: "When does Min Xing plan to leave?" ”

"On the twenty-second of this month, what about you?" Lu Lu was a little cautious.

Wu Xiang smiled: "I'll leave the day after tomorrow." If you have time, you might as well drop me off. ”

"In such a hurry?" Lin Jinrong saw that although Lu Lu and Wu Xiang were trying their best to maintain this closeness, they always had some dry meaning in it, and they couldn't find the harmony they had at the beginning, so she had to say a few more words: "The weather is not good, why don't you rest for a few more days, and then go when the weather is clear?" ”

Wu Xiang said indifferently: "It's all about walking early and late, anyway, I went down by boat, and I happened to look at the rain along the river." ”

Lin Jin tolerated and endured, and whispered: "Second Brother Wu, are you going alone?" She was curious, why didn't she see Wu Xiang talk about marriage? He became a jinshi, and there must be countless people who broke their heads and wanted to marry this good family. If someone accompanies him to go down to Jiangnan and enlighten him, I'm afraid that he will be better off and cheer up as soon as possible.

Wu Xiang met her eyes full of concern, first stunned, and then really laughed: "Xie Arong is kind, of course I go alone, I want someone to accompany me, but I still have to wait for fate." I resolutely refuse to compromise, anyway, there is my eldest brother in the inheritance. ”

Lu Lu saw that he was really smiling, so he also breathed a sigh of relief: "Listen to what you mean, it's tossing the family again, right?" ”

Wu Xiang squeezed his eyes: "What do you say?" My grandfather and my father didn't want to see me for the past two days. I just hid out. I didn't want to talk about this topic more, so I raised my eyes to look at the white rain and fog outside the window, and sighed: "I'm afraid this rain won't stop." Ask his family to cook wine and food, I ask you to shelter from the rain, you invite me to eat and drink, how about it? I don't know what year it will be when we get together next time. ”

If all goes according to what went earlier, this would probably be the last time the three of them met. Lin Jinrong felt a little more sad in his heart, and hurriedly instructed Cherry: "You go and ask Changshou to ask the store to try its best to clean up a table of good wine and food." ”

Suddenly, the wine and food are on the table, but they are just some home-cooked dishes in the countryside, only a jar of wine is a good wine brewed privately, buried in the ground for ten years, and the smell of the mud wine is overflowing, and it makes people swallow saliva when they smell it.

Lin Jinrong wanted to avoid it, but Wu Xiang put a cup in front of her and said, "Minxing, they all grew up together, and they can be regarded as brothers and sisters. I don't drink alcohol on weekdays, so I'm going to take this vow today. ”

Lu Lu looked at Lin Jinrong, saw that her eyes were bright, and knew that she was good at wine, so he picked up the wine jar and filled her wine glass: "Isn't it just a glass of wine?" If I don't allow it, it will make me look stingy.

But Ah Rong, you can't drink too much, if both of me are drunk, I still have to rely on you to take care of it. ”

After three rounds of drinking, Lin Jinrong suddenly remembered an important matter, and said with a smile: "Second brother Wu, speaking of which, my third brother has made a small deal in Huating County, and I am afraid that I will ask you to take care of it in the future." ”

Wu Huan said: "Where did you do the business again?" ”

Lin Jinrong nodded: "Yes." I heard that the treasure business over there was easy to do, so I wanted to try it. ”

Wu Xiang deliberately made an impatient look: "Got it." Why is the nose so smart? ”
