Rabbit lanterns, lotus lanterns, watermelon lanterns, and an octagonal glazed lantern are crystal bright and bright, illuminating the yard.

Two black lacquered round tables, one large and one small, are placed in the middle of the courtyard, separated by a Lingshan stone fan, and the blue and white porcelain plates are stacked with pears, apples, grapes, moon cakes, melon seeds, peanuts, and watermelons cut into petals.

Zheng Sanniang and the Lu family's maid Reed were boiling water on the steps on the side to prepare to make tea, and Ah Sen put Linchun on his shoulders and ran around the yard, Linchun's giggling laughter spilled all over the ground.

Yang Yucheng, who was sitting at the big round table with Master Lu, scolded Ah Sen with a smile: "You are careful to frighten the child!" ”

Zheng San, who walked in with a wine vat, hurriedly said: "Don't tight, don't tight, children like children." ”

Mrs. Lu laughed on the other side of the screen.

Zhao Ling, who walked out of the wing, looked at everything in front of him, and his heart was unprecedentedly peaceful and tranquil.

Isn't that what he's been hoping for for a long time?

He thought that only when he returned to Jiangnan, and only when he got rid of those past events, could he feel it. Unexpectedly, the dream scene appeared in front of him so suddenly.

Let go of the obsession in your heart and take a step back, which is the sea and the sky.

It turned out that what he hoped for and looked forward to had always been around him, right in front of him.

He couldn't help but look up and search for Fu Tingyun's figure.

Fu Tingyun sat next to Mrs. Lu, compared with the simplicity of the previous two days, she was obviously dressed up on purpose today. The moon-white cocoon silk shirt on the right, the corners and cuffs are embroidered with lake-green persimmon patterns, the lake-colored Baxiang skirt, the hem inlaid with lake-green flowers and grass patterns, and the red gold lantern inlaid with lapis lazuli pendant on the ears swayed gently on the white jade-like face, swaying vividly. Charming.

Zhao Ling felt his heart stagnate as if he had missed a beat.

Sensing someone watching, Fu Tingyun raised his head.

Her face is like a lotus in full bloom in summer.

Seeing that it was Zhao Ling, she pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes more dazzling than gemstones.

"Ninth Master." Fu Tingyun got up and was blessed.

Hearing the movement, they all looked over, shouting "Ninth Master" one after another.

Zhao Ling smiled and saluted everyone with a fist, and sat down next to Master Lu.

Master Lu and the others all stood up.

"You don't have to be formalistic today," Zhao Ling said with a smile, "It's rare to be so happy." ”

"yes, yes!" Yang Yucheng was the first to sit down. "Celebrate with the whole world, celebrate with the whole world."

Everyone laughed and sat down politely.

Yang Yucheng hurriedly ordered tea.

The reed brought the tea.

Zheng Sanniang returned to the stove with Linchun in her arms and sat down, peeled the grapes and fed the child, and Ah Sen got out. sat down next to Zhao Ling.

"Ninth Master," he said with great interest, "is it past August 15th?" You're the official? "The crisp children's voice is innocent and authentic.

Everyone laughed again.

"I told Master Wu that there are still some private matters to deal with," Zhao Ling said, but his eyes glanced at Fu Tingyun intentionally or unintentionally. "On August 25, I will go to the Yamen of the capital to report."

"Ahh Ah Sen jumped up excitedly, "I'll be the official's little servant in the future!" I'll be the official's little servant in the future! ”

It made everyone laugh and leaned back.

The reed who served tea to the people raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhao Ling quickly when he heard this. A trace of red cloud suddenly flew on her face, and she glanced at everyone present quickly, seeing that everyone was looking at Zhao Ling, and no one noticed her, she couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

Speak as you speak, why do you want to glance at her, as if you are explaining something to her.

The thought flashed, and Fu Tingyun's ears were feverish.

It's because when she met that day, she asked him if he had gone to the Dusi Yamen to see Lord Wu!

At that time, I was just anxious that things had changed, and now I think about it, she. She is like a little lady who forces her husband to study and seek fame......

Zhao Ling wouldn't think the same way, would he?

Thinking like this, Fu Tingyun was taken aback.

No, it won't be the same as you guessed......

She was ashamed. couldn't help but turn sideways and look at Zhao Ling.

He was listening to Master Lu speak: "...... I've always been worried about the Ninth Master. If the Ninth Master can think about joining the army and thinking about leaving...... Take the career path. From now on, I will be able to sleep soundly. Under the light, there was a flash of water in the corner of his eye.

Zhao Ling was very surprised.

He didn't expect that what he was doing would make people so worried.

If his parents are also alive, are they the same as Master Lu?

There is also Miss Fu Jiajiu, who can come up with those ideas, she must have started thinking about it when she saw the sixteenth master giving him his name, otherwise she would not have figured out so many joints, and she would not have said that Yang Yucheng would have acted according to her ideas.

His gaze couldn't help but look at Fu Tingyun.

The eyes are facing each other.

Fu Tingyun was embarrassed and wanted to avoid it, but he saw a trace of confusion in his eyes.

She couldn't help but be stunned.

Today is a day of great joy, from now on, he is going to take the right path, why does he feel confused?

Does he not like the so-called right path in everyone's eyes?

She was a little apprehensive.

Speaking of which, she made it all happen.

It's hard to buy like.

If you don't like it, no matter how good it is, you can pick out the bad ones. At such a point, let alone doing a career, it is a kind of torture for him to stay in the barracks for a long time. Just like she doesn't like to paint landscapes, she feels upset when she picks up a paintbrush, let alone copying! He once threw his paintbrush into the pond for this reason.

If that's the case, you have to find a way to persuade him.

She was immersed in her emotions, and for a while she forgot that Zhao Ling was still looking at her

Zhao Ling met with a pair of panicked eyes like a fawn.

He was surprised.

Why is she panicking?

Was it because he found out she was looking at him?

Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but "thump".

Could it be that she, she's spying on him?

With this thought, his heart suddenly became extremely soft, and his heart beat faster.

But soon, there was a bit of sadness in the panicked eyes.

How do you get sad?

Is it because I feel alone during the Mid-Autumn Festival and have no family to accompany me?

Zhao Ling suddenly felt a little impetuous.

The gold ingots will definitely be able to rush back before August 25, and I don't know how Mrs. Fu plans to arrange her daughter? As far as he knew, some of the remaining relatives of Mrs. Fu's mother's family had all come out of the five suits. Miss Fu Jiajiu was removed from the Fu family for that reason, rather than taking refuge in those relatives who don't know how many generations apart, it is better to stay in Yangliu Lane, anyway, he will soon go to join the army, and it is still a question whether he can return to Xi'an Mansion again.

I have made up my mind, and I have a little in my heart.

Thinking about it, it is better to tell her about this meaning, so as not to make her restless all day. was drugged before, and it took him a lot of effort to cure her, but don't be depressed. Committing a disease is.

He made up his mind and was about to stand up and say something, when Master Lu toasted him: "Ninth Master, you not only saved the lives of our old couple, but also helped my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson avenge it." I don't say thank you for my kindness, I won't say much, a glass of thin wine. A little bit of gratitude! As he spoke, he craned his neck and did it first.

Zhao Ling smiled and picked up the wine glass, but Fu Tingyun's exclamation came: "Ninth Master, your illness is not yet cured." Or tea instead of bars! ”

As soon as the words fell, the courtyard was silent.

Everyone looked at the interstitial in amazement.

Fu Tingyun, who was sitting behind the interstitial, was only looking forward to a crack in the ground at this time.

How could she blurt out such a thing?

In front of so many people. Not even his wife can say the same about him...... How much more is she?

He must have felt embarrassed when she was a coquettish person!

Fu Tingyun lowered his head, and he wanted to die.

Zhao Ling's faint but calm voice came from the interstitial screen: "I forgot about this stubble, you drink, I'll drink tea!" ”

Fu Tingyun raised his head and looked at the interstitial screen with a face full of disbelief.

What did he say?

"You drink, I'll drink tea...... The peaceful voice seemed to be in her ears, and her heart came alive little by little.

He, he didn't blame her.

With this thought, her heart tugged again.

Is he because he gave her a step down in public? Or is it really not annoying her?

The brows, which were as soft as thin feathers, were tightly twisted together.

Mrs. Lu, who was sitting across from her, watched. His eyes flashed, and he patted her hand with a smile: "You are also a kind heart, and the ninth master can understand it." Otherwise. He also doesn't say the words of drinking tea instead of drinking. You know, the ninth master is massive! ”

Is it?

Fu Tingyun's heart went up and down. I didn't dare to make a sound anymore, and listened to the people at the table outside.

“…… It turned out that I thought that there was something inconvenient for the ninth master to come forward, and when you said that you wanted me to help you look at the house, I should go down without saying a word. Now that the Ninth Master has decided to join the army, I should also return this house to you. Old Master Lu said with great relief, "While you are still idle these days, I will go to the yamen with you to change the name of the title deed of this property, and calculate the accounts of the past few years for you." Then he said, "I used to be a shopkeeper for people, but now although I am old, I have not been idle, and I go to the street to see what business is good to do. If the Ninth Master doesn't dislike it, I'll be a shopkeeper for the Ninth Master! ”

This house cost a lot of money at the beginning, but now it is not in his eyes, the Lu family and his wife have guarded this house in the past few years, there is no merit and hard work, and it is not too much to give it to them. As for doing business, he also knew Master Lu's ability, but he had been thinking about going back to Jiangnan, and he didn't think about it at all.

Zhao Linggang wanted to refuse, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed again.

Let's settle Miss Fu Jiajiu first.

If Miss Fu Jiajiu really has nowhere to go, whether it is a house or a shop, it is better to give it all to the Lu family and his wife.

"Let this go beforehand." "There's something else I want to ask you," he said. Zhao Ling's expression was serious, "I have already agreed with Lord Wu, and when the time comes, I will bring a few brothers who are like brothers and sisters to join the army." Which of you wants to go with me? ”

"Ahh Yang Yucheng was a few happy.

can clear his identity, and he can live an open life from now on...... And a few more people will not be happy.

"I, I'll follow the Ninth Master." Yang Yucheng was the first to speak.

"I also want to follow the Ninth Master." Sanfu and Shizhu said in unison.

Sanfu is over thirty years old, Shi Zhu is two or three years younger than him, both of them are of medium stature, with thick faces, one looks very wooden, and the other looks very simple.

"Okay, let's wait for the ingots to come back, see what the ingots are planning, and then go to the Dusi Yamen to see that Lord Wu together." Zhao Ling said, glancing at the interstitial screen, as if he wanted to see how Fu Tingyun reacted.

Fu Tingyun was stunned when he heard this.

The gold ingots are back, she should be gone too!

She was a little anxious.

persuaded him to go to the barracks to join the army, and the matter of stopping him from drinking just now...... I have to explain to Zhao Ling as soon as possible. Otherwise, she is gone, and this misunderstanding will never be solved!

Fu Tingyun hoped that he could leave a good impression on Zhao Ling.
