Outside the island of Lituo (4)
Lin Jinwen was about to go out to see Lin Zhuxi, when she heard a wail outside.
"Madame, where are you ——!?"
She hurriedly walked out, and saw a cute girl crying in a hurry, she was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mrs. Lin and Master Lin said that the ship is ready to go out, don't you know?" ”
When the girl heard this, her eyes turned even redder: "I knew that they were going to carry me behind my back to find my mother-in-law's house, woo woo, I won't do it, I want to go home......"
When Lin Jinwen heard this, she thought that this little girl was really being bullied, so she hurriedly said softly: "Don't worry, where is your home, I'll send you back......"
"Puff ......"
Before Lin Jin's voice fell, a light laugh came.
She hurriedly turned her head to look, and saw a young man standing under the porch snickering.
Lin Jinwen blinked, and the young man walked over quickly, saluted, and said, "You are Mrs. Zhao, my name is Xuesheng, and I am the housekeeper here. ”
After Lin Jinwen heard what she said, the little maid ran up angrily and choked up: "Brother Xuesheng, you have to talk nonsense, otherwise I won't play with you." ”
"Don't make a fuss." Xuesheng raised her hand and pinched her little face dotingly, and then smiled and explained the reason to Lin Jinyu, it turned out that many children on this island were abandoned children picked up by Chu Xi and Lin Qingyu from outside over the years, and everyone volunteered to stay here to serve, but this little girl was born to worry about the housekeeper's mother-in-law, not to mention the daily life of the two of them, not to mention the inside and out, she had to follow them wherever she went, for fear that something would happen to them, so Chu Xi and Lin Qingyu went out later, so she hid it from her. At the end of the day, it's all the little things.
The little girl slapped his hand away and apologized to Lin Jinwen, she was obedient and shy, and her ability and energy were also there.
Lin Jinwen didn't care about it, smiled and comforted, and was about to go to see Lin Zhenxi, and suddenly heard her say again: "Look at my head, Mrs. Langyue wants to invite you to go." ”
"Lang Yue?" Lin Jinwen was very surprised, Lang Yue's family is the royal family of Southern Xinjiang, and the southern Xinjiang was broken before, and I haven't heard of any southern Xinjiang royal family coming to this Lituo Island?
She was skeptical, but she still followed the little maid out of the Lin Mansion quickly, bypassed the beautiful island, and soon stopped in front of a simple second house.
As soon as she came over, the maid inside happily greeted her: "Mrs. Zhao, you are here." ”
"You ......"
"You forgot?" The maid saw that she didn't remember herself, and she didn't say much, but said, "Our lady is waiting inside, you can come in first." ”
Lin Jinwen is also worried about something, this is Lituo Island, a paradise-like place, and there is no need for any intrigue.
She suddenly felt relaxed, smiled and nodded, and stepped in unguardedly.
After entering, the courtyard is still the cold and salty smell of the sea breeze, but the layout is very elegant, and even has a bit of the taste of Jiangnan garden, Lin Jinwen also guessed who the owner of this place is, until she entered the flower hall, saw the old woman in the black dress, saw her calm eyes, and her heart seemed to be shocked: "The old lady!" At first, she thought that the Empress Dowager Fanbang committed suicide in the fire, but she didn't expect that she had already come to such a place, so the fire was just a trick, no wonder she was so calm and resolute at the beginning.
"Here we are." When she saw her, a slight smile welled up in her eyes.
Lin Jinwen found that the people on this island are like this, with a peaceful and soft atmosphere all over their bodies, while the younger generation is mostly simple and enthusiastic.
She stayed, like an old friend, and chatted with the old queen mother for a long time, talking about a lover she had when she was young and couldn't love her, talking about her lover living on the other side of the island, and talking about the experience of the two when they met again decades later, and the affection that they still remember at a glance.
Just listening, Lin Jinwen was as sweet as if she had drunk honey.
Until the sun sets, it is getting late.
The Queen Mother looked at Lin Jinwen with a light smile and smiled lightly: "Do you remember the painting I gave you?" ”
"There's a beautiful woman in the picture." Lin Jinwen was naturally impressed by the painting.
"That's the former Chu Xi, you've seen her, I'm free, I'm going to tell you her story." She smiled mysteriously, if she said it, it was really a legend, and no one was more qualified than her to tell Chu Xi's story, those who were born and died, those who loved and hated.
When sending Lin Jinwen away, the Queen Mother got up and sent it in person, although it has been more than ten years since Fanbang left, but her whole person is still as elegant as she was back then.
It wasn't until she sent Lin Jinwen into the carriage and left that she was about to turn around, when she heard a male voice behind her: "Lu Tan, let's go for a walk together." ”
