Chapter 25
"Hongxu, what's going on?" Zhong Qisheng took a lot of effort to finally break free from Lin Hongyu's grasp of his hand, and when he rolled up his sleeves, he saw that it was already red.
He had never seen Lin Hongyu lose his temper like this, and his cold jaw trembled, as if it would fall off at any time.
"Hongzhu, do you want me to hire a doctor for you to take a look?" Zhong Qisheng reached out and touched his forehead, and a layer of fine sweat floated on it, cold.
Lin Hongyu stroked his forehead, took a few breaths, and said, "No need. Qisheng, I want to go back, and I will leave today. ”
He stood up, only to find that his whole body was shaking like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and his chest rose and fell violently several times, and he was trying to take a step.
Zhong Qisheng couldn't rest assured, and accompanied him to the gate of Zhongfu, watching him stumble and get on the horse, "Can you ride a horse?" ”
Lin Hongyu blinked weakly, "Okay, you can go back." ”
The horse is a good horse that Lin Hongyu is used to riding, but today's horse riders hold the reins in their hands, and they are full of worries, and the horses do not get clear orders, and they walk freely, and one person and one horse are like grass on the wall, fluctuating.
Are they his children? But I did so to them. Lin Hongzhi half-tilted his head, the sun in late spring and April was white, cutting people's eyes like a knife, his eyes hurt suddenly, and a string of tears fell.
"You're gone, what's the use of a bright spring?"
Zhong Qisheng returned to the courtyard in a daze, and unconsciously walked to the embankment of the lake where Lin Hongyu was walking just now, and saw the four people in the pavilion at a glance, his grandfather Zhenguo Gong and his father, and the father and son of the Lin family were all there, and he couldn't help but think about what Lin Hongyu had just experienced and whether it had anything to do with them.
He walked outside the pavilion and saw that they were cooking tea and discussing things, so he saluted the elders and asked, "Father, I wonder if you have seen Lin Hongyu?" ”
Zhong Cheng shook his head, "I didn't see it." You got separated from him? ”
Zhong Qisheng said: "No, I just don't know what happened, Hong Yu was waiting for me over there just now, and he seemed to have suffered a very heavy blow, and his face looked very bad when I found him." He looked at Lin Xian, "Brother Lin, you can go back and see him, I'm a little worried." ”
Lin Xian hurriedly asked him where Lin Xian was at that time. Zhong Qisheng pointed to a magnolia tree over there, "It's right there." I really can't think of what happened, Hongyu looked tormented. ”
Before the words fell, Lin Xian was shocked, and glanced at Zhen Guogong, it was the two of them who were talking there just now, listening to Zhong Qisheng say this, I think the words have been heard by the second brother.
Zhen Guogong is an old man in the end, and he understands it in the blink of an eye, but he is silent, and his face is still calm and calm. "I don't think I'm scared when I encounter a snake."
Zhong Qisheng frowned, "It's not impossible, the garden is widely planted with flowers and trees, and the branches and leaves are dense, so it is difficult to ensure that there are no snakes and insects." ”
Lin Hengfeng's attitude was indifferent after hearing this, and he said: "Since you are frightened, just go back and let me cook some soothing soup, and the little nephew doesn't have to worry about it." ”
He is more accustomed to chatting at the wine table, and now he is uncomfortable with the father and son of Zhenguo and sitting on the pavilion futon to make tea. repeatedly wanted to get out the Zhong family's views on the prince and the party from the mouth of the prince of Zhenguo, but the grandfather and the prince always talked about him left and right, which made him very unhappy.
But who makes the status of Zhenguo respected, he has to greet him everywhere with a shy face. However, he found that the Zhong family seemed to be more willing to talk to their eldest son.
Zhong Qisheng was strangely embarrassed by Lin Hengfeng's little nephew. In the past, when he met Wu Qingbo by chance, he was called "Young Master Zhong", when did he get involved with him? Could it be because his niece was taken in by her father.
The thought of this is full of doubts. Last time on his sister's birthday, the little girl surnamed Xue won the jackpot, he always wanted to compete with her, but he didn't expect that now she became his sister-in-law for no reason.
He asked his father why, but his father was vague, saying that the Zhong family's heirs were thin, and they would take care of each other in the future.
But except for the Xue family's little girl who is outstanding in archery, he really can't think of anything outstanding about the brother and sister, and I'm afraid that in the future, they will also be taken care of by the Zhong family.
didn't ask about Lin Hongyu, Zhong Qisheng said goodbye and wandered around the garden alone. Unconsciously walked to the water pavilion, and the babbling opera faintly came into my ears.
"Brother Qisheng."
Just as he was about to get closer and hear clearly, someone suddenly called him behind him.
Looking back, it turned out to be the second lady of the Lin family and a maid, he frowned slightly: How can you always meet her?
This Miss Lin Er likes to wear very gaudy colors, and he doesn't like those the most, but she seems to like to talk to him very much.
Although Lin Tangxiao was dissatisfied with the fact that the Zhong family wanted to accept Xue Mingcan as a righteous daughter, she thought that she could see Zhong Qisheng in the Zhong Mansion, so she still put away her unhappiness and was busy pouring herself. Today, I specially changed into a newly made begonia red and dark flower spring shirt, and put the eldest sister's red gold silk inlaid with peony sideburns hairpin. When I listened to the play just now, I was still thinking about how I could meet Zhong Qisheng by chance.
"Miss Lin Er."
This side obviously called him "brother" affectionately, but here he coldly replied "Miss", Lin Tangluo stood aside and felt funny.
"Brother Qisheng, where are you going?" Lin Tangxiao has a big heart and doesn't care about this alienation in the title.
"I, I'm going back to the study." He originally wanted to stand outside the water pavilion and listen to the small play, but he didn't know why, for fear that Lin Tangxiao would beat a snake and stick it, so he said that he wanted to go to the study.
"Brother Qisheng is really attentive, and everyone who is reading is studying every day." Lin Tangxiao said with a smile.
Zhong Qisheng smiled faintly and was about to leave, but he didn't expect to be stopped by her again.
Lin Tangxiao Shi Ran walked over, covered his chest and whispered: "Brother Qisheng, I didn't know how to feel a little stuffy in my chest just now, and I don't want to go back to listen to the play, can Brother Lao Qisheng find a room for me, I'll rest for a while." ”
What does she mean by that? Zhong Qisheng frowned secretly, glanced at the girl beside her, and said, "I'm afraid this is not very convenient, you let this maid help you find it." ”
"Maid?" Lin Tangxiao looked left and right, and only saw Lin Tangluo, a sister who was dressed thinly and simply.
immediately laughed, "Brother Qisheng, this is not a maid, it's my sister." ”
Zhong Qisheng was embarrassed when he heard this, and hurriedly apologized to Lin Tangluo.
Lin Tangxiao felt very happy, just now she wanted to come out of Gong, she originally called the eldest sister, but the eldest sister didn't go, so she asked Lin Tangluo to accompany her. She has always hated this sister and her biological mother, Aunt Wei, but now she feels very relieved when she hears Zhong Qisheng think she is a maid.
Lin Tangluo was very shy, although he was unintentionally offended, he didn't feel annoyed, and only said, "It's okay."
Zhong Qisheng took a closer look at her. Although he is dressed simply and plainly, he has a light sweetness, his appearance is lovely, and he is eleven or twelve years old, very gentle and quiet.
But why have I never seen this third girl of the Lin family before?
Lin Tangxiao still asked after finishing the music: "Brother Qisheng, I didn't bring the maid out, can you find a room for me to rest?" ”
Zhong Qisheng couldn't help but feel sorry because of the offense just now, so he found a clever maid to serve them. Lin Tangxiao said that she had just heard that he and Lin Hongzhi were going to see the good bow in the study, and she also wanted to see it, but in desperation, she had no choice but to ask the maid to carry the bow over.
It wasn't until Lin Tangmei sent someone to look for him that Lin Tangxiao left with her sister-in-law.
Zhong Qisheng breathed a sigh of relief and decided that he would have to avoid the second miss of the Lin family in the future. As for the third lady, she never interjected two sentences along the way, she was quiet, and sometimes she pursed her lips and smiled, but she was very docile and cute.
After the play, the girl of the Lin family went back. Xue Mingcan fell asleep on the table of the Eight Immortals while listening to the play, and woke up with his sleeves a little wet. As soon as she was clear and returned to the Lin Mansion in the incense car, she hurriedly asked if the Leng Hui sachet was ready.
Leng Hui said that there were still a few stitches left, so Mingcan sat on the embroidery pier on the side and waited slowly, so he waited before dinner.
Happily holding the sachet and running towards Lin Hongxue's yard. He lived alone in a small courtyard with two entrances, Mingcan ran through the door of the moon cave, but saw that the surroundings were silent, the house was not lit, and the dusk was approaching, which seemed dark and gloomy.
A few maids were sitting on the porch doing needles and chisels, and when they saw her coming, they came up and asked, "Is Miss Xue looking for the second master?" ”
The maid once laughed at this cousin girl at the bottom, and she stupidly liked to find their second master, but the second master was cold and alienated from everyone, even if this little cousin with red lips and white teeth and carved into jade snow was indifferent.
"Yes, Brother Hong, is he in the house?"
"Yes, but ......" The maid wanted to say that she was not in a good mood when she saw the second master come back today, so she only let them go out with tea and don't disturb him, so she wanted to remind Mingcan that it was best not to go to him now.
As a result, before he finished speaking, Mingcan ran into the main room like a gust of wind.
"Brother Hong!" Pushing open the door, she saw that the main room was empty, there was no one on the kang in front of the table, and the room was very quiet, she only heard her own rapid breathing.
"Brother Hong." The breath gradually subsided, Mingcan walked to the inner room, and after a row of multi-treasure shelves, he saw the innermost pineapple wood curly grass pattern Arhat bed, on which a tall and long person was lying horizontally.
"Brother Hong." She approached, wondering if the man was asleep, he was facing the other side of the wall, Mingcan couldn't see. Lin Hongyu was still wearing an autumn brown clean Hangzhou silk straight jacket that he wore when he went out during the day, and he didn't take off the dark soap boots on his feet.
What's going on? Mingcan stepped forward cautiously, thinking that if he fell asleep, he would cover the brocade quilt on the side for him, but he didn't expect that as soon as he walked to the side of Luohan's bed, the person on the bed turned over and sat up.
"Oh my God, Brother Hong, what's wrong with you?"
Mingcan was startled, Lin Hongyu's face was as pale as paper, but his two Danfeng eyes were so red and swollen that he was haggard and unfocused, as if he had suffered a lot.
"Brother Hong, are you sick?" Mingcan said and stretched out his palm and put it on his forehead, Lin Hongyu only felt a pair of soft and warm little hands touching his skin, and there was a sweet fragrance quietly lingering.
