Chapter 11 The Greeting Gift

The box where Pan Mingzhong is located has an elegant environment, cigarette smoke, and elegant landscape paintings are hung on the wall, with hanging springs and waterfalls on the paintings, and the water curtains are horizontal, which seems to be moving but not moving, like static but not static, lifelike, and even more quiet here. Pan Mingzhong lifted the veil and waited for his arrival here, and was worried about the wound on his hand, so it was a little difficult to sit still, even if it could make people quiet here, it would not play a starry role for her at this time.

After a while, the door opened, and she looked up, and saw him returning, and her restless heart settled.

"Haven't ordered yet?" Lin Jingmao asked her.

She shook her head.

So he called Xiao Er to come, and Xiao Er smiled and said, "Guest officer, what do you want to eat?" ”

Lin Jingmao looked at her and said gently, "Mingzhong, what do you want to eat?" Is there anything you'd like to eat? ”

Pan Mingzhong smiled and shook his head: "Cousin, you can order!" I'm not a picky eater. But I wonder what you like to eat? ”

Lin Jingmao smiled: "Okay, then I'll order." So he ordered, and after ordering, Xiao Er retreated, and he said: "Also, it's better to ask less questions about a person's hobbies, after all, some people's preferences change from time to time, he likes this today and that tomorrow, if that's the case, it's useless for you to ask, so this question doesn't make much sense, I won't answer it." ”

Pan Mingzhong knew that he was refusing to tell her, but she was not sad and smiled: "Okay! But cousin, I think the hobbies you are talking about should be the kind of preferences that you only like a little bit, and most people are set in stone for what they really like. Also, it's okay if you don't tell me, I'll find out someday. ”

Lin Jingmao smiled: "Cousin, it's really surprising that you can speak so directly!" ”

Pan Mingzhong's face turned red again, she suddenly felt that she was too presumptuous, and she was afraid that he would see that she had a good impression of him, so she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him.

Lin Jingmao saw what she meant, and saw that her face was flushed, her charming bones were naturally generated, her eyes were charming, and she smiled sincerely: "Cousin, it's really cute!" ”

When she saw him say this, she was a little shy, and suddenly remembered his injury, so she raised her eyes to look at him regardless of the worry in her heart, and said nervously: "Cousin, don't make fun of me!" Also, how are your injuries? Have you shown it to the doctor? ”

Lin Jingmao said gently: "Well, it's okay, I've already seen it, it'll be fine in a few days, don't worry too much!" If you don't frown, it won't look good. ”

Pan Mingzhong smiled: "Well, then I'll be relieved!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Er brought the dishes.

"I've heard that the fish here is the most delicious and the most famous, you taste it, and also, you're so thin, you need to eat more!" Lin Jingmao took a piece of fish and put it in her bowl.

"Well, okay, thank you!" Pan Mingzhong felt a little surprised, and she also sandwiched a piece of chicken to salute him: "Cousin, you eat it too!" ”

Lin Jingmao said "um" and smiled dotingly at her.

Her heart was beating like thunder, and she looked at him dumbfounded, indulging in his intoxicating eyes, if only he smiled at her like that! She thought of it and felt like she was greedy.

Lin Jingmao saw her looking at herself in a daze, and couldn't help but quip: "Cousin, what are you looking at me doing?" Don't eat it yet! ”

She let out an "oh" before she came back to her senses, her face flushed, and she felt more and more that she had no face to see people. So he stopped looking at him and buried himself in eating.

After they finished eating and settling the accounts, Pan Mingzhong put on a veil and planned to leave. At this time, Lin Jingmao looked at the sky outside the window and smiled at her: "Cousin, I see that it is still early, why don't you go to the street for a while and then go back, what do you say?" ”

Pan Mingzhong saw that he invited him, and he was a little happy in his heart, and said with a red face: "Well, I have no opinion!" ”

So they went out of Tenghai Tower together and wandered the streets.

They walked side by side, bathed in the sun, with sincere smiles on their faces, looking at the rows of pavilions on the side of the road, and under the illumination of the bright sun, the tiles were covered with gold and silk brocade. At this time, Pan Mingzhong felt that everything was so beautiful and dazzling.

"Candy sellers, candy sellers, delicious and cheap, don't make money if it's not delicious! Come and sell it, everyone! Suddenly, a shout attracted Pan Mingzhong's attention, she looked at the candy figures of different shapes on the cart, and asked with some confusion, "What are these?" ”

Lin Jingmao saw her looking at the sugar man suspiciously, pursed his lips and chuckled: "This is the sugar man, you can eat it, do you want to taste it?" ”

Pan Mingzhong nodded, and walked with him to the candy seller, but the candy man had various patterns, and she didn't know which one to buy, so she looked at Lin Jingmao.

Lin Jingmao instantly understood what she meant, as if he had thought of something, and teased: "You just ate enough, and you want to eat sweets again, that's it." With that, he pointed his finger at the candy man in the shape of a pig.

Pan Mingzhong's face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "I, I haven't eaten it, and you asked me to buy it!" ”

Lin Jingmao touched his chin: "Is this the case?" How do I remember that it was you who coveted it and I told you to buy it! ”

Pan Mingzhong felt even more ashamed, so he simply ignored him.

Seeing this, Lin Jingmao took the initiative to buy a rabbit-shaped candy man for her.

She thought about it, and thought that this shape of the candy man was very cute, so she reached out and took it: "Thank you!" ”

Lin Jingmao shook his head, walked with her to the door of the Treasure Pavilion, and stopped.

"What's wrong? Do you want to go in? Pan Mingzhong asked.

"It's okay, let's go inside!" Lin Jingmao said.

So they walked through the door together.

As soon as they entered, a merchant approached and asked, "What do you want, officer?" ”

Lin Jingmao replied: "Well, let's see!" Then he looked at Pan Mingzhong: "You can watch here first, if you have anything you want to buy, remember to tell me, I'll go upstairs and have a look first!" With that, he ignored her and went upstairs.

As soon as Lin Jingmao reached the top floor of the attic, a person put his hand in front of him.

Lin Jingmao said: "What? I don't even know each other anymore! ”

The man saw his appearance clearly and said in a panic: "Childe spare his life!" The subordinates have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, I hope the son will forgive me! ”

Lin Jingmao said unhappily: "Get out!" ”

So the man ran downstairs in a panic.

Lin Jingmao sat down at the desk, took out a blank piece of paper from the table, grinded it and picked up the pen to write, after a while, he rolled up the written paper, walked to the birdcage by the window, opened the cage, took out the carrier pigeon, put the rolling paper into the letter box on its lap, opened the window, and released it.

At this time, Pan Mingzhong looked around the place, first saw the ice cracked flower window, and then saw the reddish-brown carved wood floor. After reading this, she looked at the dazzling array of goods, from the hairpin to the bracelet, none of which attracted her, and then she looked at the bronze mirror, and then there was a palm-sized delicate bronze mirror that attracted her. She had no choice but to approach the bronze mirror and look at it carefully.

The bronze mirror is a diamond-shaped double fish pattern bronze mirror, in the mirror, the river is surging, the waves are surging, the waves are upturned, the aquatic plants are bundled, and the two fish are entangled, they are not afraid of danger and restraint, chasing and playing on the water surface to their heart's content. The body of the fish is embossed and raised, and the whole body of the double fish is clearly depicted, with fine and smooth water weeds and water ripples, and in addition, the edge of the copper mirror is inlaid with small rubies.

She was fascinated, completely unaware that there was a person standing beside her.

The man asked, "Do you like it?" ”

She nodded without hesitation, but she felt the voice was slightly familiar, so she turned her head and saw that it was her cousin. At this time, the two faced each other, only a few centimeters away from each other, she was frightened, her heart was pounding, a strange feeling arose, she looked directly into his ink eyes for a few seconds, only to notice the faux pas, so she quickly walked away from him, suppressing her beating heart.

Although she calmed down for a moment, she was still a little nervous, and her voice trembled slightly: "Yes, I'm sorry! ”

Lin Jingmao said gently: "Why are you sorry? You have nothing to be sorry for me! Then he looked at the bronze mirror that she had been observing for a long time: "Since you like it, then I will buy it and give it to you!" ”

When she heard the words "give it to her", her mind went blank, only the sound of her heartbeat echoed in her chest, and then she remembered the profound experience in her mind. She blushed and whispered, "You really want to give it to me?" ”

He nodded: "Well, as long as you like it, I'll give it to you!" ”

"Why?" she asked. ”

He was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Well, I have been to the Pan Mansion several times, and I have given gifts to your sisters. But since I haven't met you before, I haven't given you a greeting gift. Now that I see it, I want to make it up to you and give you a gift. ”

She added, "But it looks expensive, so don't buy it!" ”

He said firmly: "No, the gift is not in the expensive word, but in the sincere word, since you like it, no matter how expensive, I will be sincere to you." ”

She said embarrassedly: "Do you know...... Do you know that giving people a bronze mirror represents love and heart-to-heart.

He asked, "Know what?" ”

She sighed, turned her head away from him, and said, "No, it's nothing!" ”

He said, "Since it's nothing, then I'll buy it!" Without paying attention to her reaction, he picked up the bronze mirror and walked to the counter to pay.

Then he walked up to her, took one of her hands, and shoved the bronze mirror into her hand before slowly lowering it.

She held the bronze mirror, her heart couldn't be calm for a long time, she looked at it again, felt its coldness, and recalled the cold temperature in Lin Jingmao's hand, and felt that in addition to the jade plate, there was only this thing left that was worthy of her to regard as a treasure.
