Chapter 9: Play
Cersei went back to the study, Lin Huaijin was still reading, and Desheng was waiting. She put the notebook behind her back and slowly stepped over it.
Desheng looked up at her and said with his lips: "Not happy." As he spoke, he raised his chin slightly at Lin Huaijin.
Cersei also replied to him with a lip call: "What's the matter?" ”
Desheng pouted and shook his head slightly.
Looking over, Lin Huaijin was half-leaning on the couch, pursing his lips, his white and slender hand holding a book in one hand, and slowly tapping on the couch with the other.
If it weren't for the time spent with him, I really couldn't see that he was angry at the moment. This person, when he gets angry, is also gentle and gentle, never showing it on his face, only pursing his lips to reveal a trace of emotion.
Hearing the movement, Lin Huaijin raised her head, and her dark eyes turned on her and Desheng's faces: "What are you saying behind my back?" ”
Desheng immediately howled: "Wronged, Lord Shizi, we said it in front of you." ”
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Cersei hesitated to tell him about the note at this time, but did not speak. Lin Huaijin was keen: "What is hidden behind it?" ”
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, he smiled. Although this calligraphy was given to her by Lin Huaijin, she couldn't take it back to the house, and maybe Lin Huaijin would give it to someone on a whim in the future, and the damage to the calligraphy could not be hidden, but how to tell him was a problem.
Lin Huaijin saw her behaving like this, and inexplicably remembered the Western dog raised in the second sister's yard, with dark and moist eyes, wagging his tail flatteringly, and couldn't help but slightly hook the corners of his mouth, and his mood was a little better.
Cersei keenly felt that his mood was improving, and although he didn't understand why, he also wittily decided to seize this opportunity, hurriedly took out the notebook, and said, "I wanted to come to the study during the day to clean up, and accidentally got this notebook wet." Since Jade said that she would no longer embarrass her in the future, she will not sue this time. Besides, it's useless to file a complaint. Jade is a member of the Zhou family, and Lin Huaijin has always only obeyed the Zhou family.
Lin Huaijin glanced at it and didn't care much: "It's okay, this calligraphy is sold everywhere, I'll give you another copy when I go back." ”
Cersei hurriedly thanked him and said two more witty words. Desheng saw Lin Huaijin put the book and chatted, knowing that he couldn't read it, so he also made fun: "What did the prince think just now?" Before the words fell, I saw the disgruntled eyes sweeping over.
Sure enough, Lin Huaijin's face darkened: "I received a letter from Runan just now, saying that my cousin and cousin were going to Beijing and I was just thinking about my mother." ”
Desheng wanted to slap himself. The cold relationship between Grandpa Guo and his wife is a well-known thing in the house. I heard that my wife was dissatisfied with her parents' promise to marry Lin Wenjing, who had not yet made a career at that time, and made a lot of trouble at home and almost hanged herself. Later, the old Duchess took Lin Wenjing to Runan in person, and after Zhou saw it, he didn't say anything. Although the Lin family is a martial artist, they are all dignified, and they all say that the Zhou family is satisfied with the appearance of Grandpa Guo, so they don't make trouble.
Lin Wenjing is a high-minded and arrogant, he doesn't like others to praise his appearance, so he naturally can't stand Zhou's attitude, and even has a beard for this, and he went to the sun to bask for a month, and he married Zhou like charcoal. I don't know what happened to the two later, in short, over the years, the Zhou family only got Lin Huaijin a son-in-law, and because of his grudge against Grandpa Guo, he didn't even like the young Lin Huaijin very much, but always talked about Zhou Yunyi and Zhou Yunqing of his brother's family.
Cersei still remembers the scene when she bumped into Lin Huaijin chatting with Zhou a few days ago, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to go underground. Zhou only discovered that he was negligent to his son after Lin Huaijin grew up, but he missed his growing years, and he didn't know what to say together. Although Lin Huaijin is the only son of the Zhou family, he gets along with those concubines and concubines, and there is no way to be intimate, only unfamiliar.
Therefore, whenever he thinks of his father and mother, Lin Huaijin always looks sad. Cersei actually understands him very well. Every time she writes a word a little better, she always deliberately puts it in a place where Lin Huaijin can see it inadvertently, expecting a praise, but Lin Huaijin is brilliant in everything and obeys her parents, but she never gets a little care and praise. In this respect, they are equally lonely and equally pitiful. Maybe he's even more pitiful, at least he doesn't have expectations.
Desheng was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and hurried to the rescue: "When the young master and the young lady are here, is the prince going to take them to Kyoto?" If there's anything delicious, don't forget to bring one for the slave maid as well. ”
Desheng glanced at her gratefully, and quickly grabbed her handle: "Speaking of eating, there are a lot of delicious things in Kyoto, but it's a pity that you can't go out, the flower cakes, silver silk rolls, hibiscus swallow vegetables, and a taste that is said to be with the imperial front tribute, as well as Li Ji's Bianjing roast duck, sugar dumplings and fried children, crispy chicken, Baixi Shop's dragon whisker crisp, mung bean cake, ......"
The more Desheng spoke, the more energetic he became, and even Li Ji's storyteller downstairs was described vividly, and he only looked straight with envy. Thinking that she used to be able to hear the sound of people laughing inside when she passed by the door of Li Ji, she had never seen what the book looked like.
Lin Huaijin couldn't help but laugh when he saw them like this, and interrupted Desheng's words: "Okay, where is you so good." ”
Desheng looked at the unfinished look, and said regretfully: "If only Cerse could go out." ”
Lin Huaijin looked at the two of them with a look of regret, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's not impossible." ”
Desheng jumped three feet high, looking even happier than Cersei: "Yes, Cersei, you can pretend to be a little girl and follow us out!" The people of Jihui Courtyard knew that it was the prince who took you out, and they definitely didn't dare to say anything. ”
Lin Huaijin nodded seriously: "My tiger skin, sometimes it's quite easy to pull." ”
Cersei was overjoyed when she heard this, her eyes were bright, and she wished that Ming'er would be able to follow them out to see and see. In the past, she was still a little beggar that everyone hated, and when she walked to the door of the restaurant, she was only called out, but this time she went out, she was different, she could go in, she could sit down, she could eat and drink, and she felt so beautiful when she thought about it.
"Lord Shizi, tomorrow you just have a break, you don't have to go to school, it's better to hit the day than to choose a day, or go out tomorrow!" Desheng grinned, he hadn't been out in a long time. Overjoyed, twelve points satisfied with Desheng's proposal, he secretly gave Desheng a thumbs up, and Desheng winked at her.
Lin Huaijin smiled lightly: "You just got caught up by yourself." ”
Desheng scratched his head shyly, Lin Huaijin couldn't help but laugh even more happily, and naturally agreed to come down and let the two go to rest early.
The next day, the sun was shining warmly, and there was no wind, with a cold and refreshing atmosphere unique to winter. Lin Huaijin ordered someone to carry the car and took Desheng and Cersei out of the house.
The carriage was spacious and comfortable, with a case in the middle, and a complete set of tea sets.
The three of them talked and laughed, and stopped eating. When he entered Li Ji and Jumanlou for the first time, he not only saw Mr. Storyteller, but also saw a group of romantic talents who were fighting poetry, but it was a pity that he couldn't drink the famous peach blossom brew in Jumanlou. But this regret disappeared when she saw the shopkeeper who gathered all over the building bowed his head and waist, she secretly grinded her teeth, and really wanted to tell the shopkeeper with a humble smile in front of her that she was the little beggar who was kicked by him twice and rolled down the steps.
The three of them had enough to eat and drink, but they were still not satisfied. Lin Huaijin was also tightly detained in the house, and he had to maintain the demeanor of the prince of Anguo outside, and he had never been so relaxed and chic. The three of them tacitly agreed not to mention the matter of returning home, but the coachman drove the carriage around. Cersei bought a lot of good things for Yancao, thought about it, and bought a hairpin for Jade and a bracelet for Mama Zhou.
After being in the market for a long time, she knew when to bow down and admit it, but most of the silver she had saved for a long time went down at once, which made her feel pain.
The most excited along the way was Desheng, who talked endlessly, introducing what he had seen and heard along the way, and Cersei was also very supportive, sometimes exclaiming, sometimes sighing, and sometimes hilarious. Desheng became more and more excited, exaggerated one thing several times, said it with a dry mouth, and poured tea soup violently, until Lin Huaijin thought he was noisy, and the book in his hand knocked on his head: "Okay, Cersei grew up outside the mansion since he was a child, and he hasn't seen anything." ”
As soon as Desheng thought about it, he looked at Cersei's eyes wrongly: "Cersei, you are too unkind, this is treating me as a monkey." ”
Cersei hurriedly rounded the field: "No, I have been worried about food and clothing before, how can I be in the mood to care about other things, besides, I have never seen these in a close distance, and I will be scolded and beaten when I get close, it is quite novel to hear you say." ”
When she said it, she didn't feel it, but after she finished speaking, she felt two eyes full of pity shooting from different directions and pouring on her. Desheng scratched his head and tried to comfort her: "Don't be sad, people say, what, if you don't die in a big disaster, there will be blessings in the future, you have gone through so many hardships, and there will definitely be a lot of blessings in the future." ”
He nodded perfunctorily, disapprovingly. She has been wandering the streets for as long as she can remember, and it is already a norm, and she does not feel that it is an ordeal that can make her "blessed". Of course, it would be a real ordeal for her to be a beggar now.
Desheng looked at the appearance of Se Se and thought that she didn't believe it: "There is an old monk in Jueming Temple, and the approval is approved!" If you don't believe me, I'll show you! After speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing again, and couldn't help but look at Lin Huaijin with a weak heart.
Jueming Temple is on Honolulu, and Honolulu is now imprisoned by the abolished princess, and most of them are no longer places where you can go if you say you can go.
Lin Huaijin was moved, he has been restless recently, seeing that his father is also mysterious, he always feels like something big is going to happen, but he has a feeling that he can't grasp it. Even if you can't see Monk Wutong, it's good to ask for a sign. His jade-like fingers slowly tapped the car mat, and his mind had turned a few times: "It's okay, I think that the abolished princess will not be imprisoned in Jueming Temple, and Jueming Temple will not be closed because it is on Honolulu." Let's go and get back quickly, and we'll be in time. ”
Desheng was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered the coachman to turn around and go to Honolulu. Cersei was also very surprised, I didn't expect to go to a place I had never been to this time, and I couldn't help but look forward to it.
