Chapter 44: Lonely Palms Are Hard to Sing
"I shouldn't have been showing off to you all day long, so that you wouldn't have to worry about my sister all the time. Lin Queqing helped his forehead with a headache, he seemed to regret it a little, but in fact it was not the case at all, he also hoped that Lin Xiangwan could help his friendship.
Lin Queqing put away his disguised smile, and looked at Murong Yun in dark blue clothes in front of him with deep eyes, while Lin Xiangwan quietly made a gesture in a place where no one could see - the index finger and thumb were in a circle, and the other three fingers were naturally erected.
Lin Queqing saw her gesture and was completely relieved, but her mouth still kept talking: "How did I know that you could make her nod so easily?" After a pause, Lin Queqing teased: "It seems that Ah Yun, you are also very attractive, you can make my sister nod." Or is it thanks to Madder?"
"Mm-hmm, it's all good. Lin Xiangwan gestured, unceremoniously raised the knife and fell, and then quickly took out a translucent porcelain bottle from his arms, put the leaves of the purple madder into it, and then closed the bottle cap, completely sealed it, and put the porcelain bottle close to his body, Lin Xiangwan got up and looked back at Lin Queqing, who was smiling treacherously, and a strange feeling appeared in his heart.
Lin Queqing's expression is no stranger to Lin Xiangwan, when he was a child, if he came up with any plan to unite with him to rectify the person, this kind of look would appear on his face.
Could it be... Lin Xiangwan looked directly at Lin Queqing without hesitation, and finally when Lin Queqing saw her suspicious eyes, the smile on her face stiffened, and she looked away weakly.
Sure enough, Xiang Wan found out... Brother Mo Ruomei... Lin Queqing was a little moved, but he couldn't help but shrink when he met Lin Xiangwan's gaze.
"Two elder brothers..."And Lin Xiangwan was almost convinced when he saw his expression, a wicked smile appeared on his mouth, his hands were crossed on his chest, and his head was slightly raised, but Rao Ran was like this, and he still couldn't look down on Lin Queqing.
When Murong Yun heard Lin Xiangwan Ying's lips softly call his brother instead of the brother Wang that he often heard, a warm current flowed through his heart, and even his gaze softened.
Lin Xiangwan continued to raise his head and stood stubbornly in place: "Are you plotting?"
"Wronged, sister, I really didn't expect you and Ah Yun to meet so coincidentally, I originally planned..."
"You've been tricked by me. Lin Xiangwan looked at Lin Queqing with a smile, but Lin Queqing turned his head to look at Murong Yun as if asking for help, Murong Yun smiled helplessly, and told Lin Xiangwan about his original plan, but Lin Queqing nodded while adding bricks and tiles.
It took a long time to explain the matter, and Lin Xiangwan finally knew why there was an order, and Lin Queqing finally brought Lin Xiangwan back to the Moon Halo Pavilion with half a coax and half a push. However, Murong Yun left first because he wanted to continue to prepare for tomorrow night's palace banquet, and gently brought them to the door by the way.
What kind of existence is Brother Murong in this huge Xueji Palace? And can he help himself? Lin Xiangwan put the transparent porcelain bottle containing purple madder in his arms on the bookshelf.
Lin Xiangwan pondered for a moment, pacing back and forth in the room, and then she looked at the herald engraved with exquisite and complicated patterns on her waist, which was hanging heavily on her waist at this time, thoughtful.
Lin Queqing was sitting at the table at the moment, taking a sip of tea unhurriedly, the tea was fragrant and faint, and his movements of tasting tea were very smooth, "Xiangwan, why would you help Ah Yun?" According to his understanding of Lin Xiangwan's character, she would not help others at will, and she wanted to become an envoy with the status of the prince's sister.
Lin Xiangwan was immersed in his thoughts, and when he heard Lin Queqing's words, he stopped, turned his head to look at Lin Queqing, who had always been cynical, with a rare seriousness on his face at this time, and smiled, it seems that my brother really attaches great importance to Brother Murong.
She moved lightly, walked to Lin Queqing's side, brushed the tiny leaves glued to the gauze skirt, sat beside him calmly, and slowly spoke, "Brother Murong is a rare confidant and friend of my brother, isn't he?"
"I'll help him with that. Lin Xiangwan paused and took a sip of tea, "Moreover, Brother Murong has beautiful eyebrows, clear and clear eyes, and he can't see a trace of evil spirit, he is a person of pure character." ”
Lin Xiangwan said eloquently, "Brother Murong, he... Seems to recognize me, and doesn't seem to think it would be me at all. Actually, it wasn't strange to recognize her, but the look of surprise he had when he first heard her identity and name already made her feel a little strange and surprised. She is just an ordinary lady, and she is also a lady who rarely attends palace activities, so it stands to reason that she will not surprise anyone too much.
And at that time, Brother Mu Rong was still a little excited, and the look in his eyes changed from gray at the beginning to brighten... It's like...
It's like grasping at the last straw.
In fact, she didn't know, she actually felt that such a demeanor made her a little distracted, as if she was somewhere, she had also seen such a desperate and sudden hope look.
Although he thought so in his heart, Lin Xiangwan didn't show his expression, and said with great certainty: "It is because of this that I feel that Brother Murong seems to have a request for me." ”
Of course, Lin Xiangwan was not sluggish, just when she lowered her head and was silent, she did not ignore the second brother's relieved expression after seeing her gesture. That gesture was a code that their brother and sister had agreed on since childhood, and it was because of such a code that their brother and sister could sing and harmonize in front of their father and mother.
Lin Queqing was stunned for a moment, looked at Lin Xiangwan, and lowered his eyebrows helplessly: "I can't hide my own sister." ”
"Of course, I still like the purple madder grass given by Brother Murong. Lin Xiangwan smiled proudly, and looked towards the transparent porcelain vase with a blank look, as if the calm self-control just now had never existed.
Lin Queqing shook his head with a smile, stretched out his hand and rubbed Lin Xiangwan's head, his handsome and peerless face was full of doting: "Ghost girl, you are eccentric." But his heart was very moved, and just as he wanted to speak, he suddenly heard Lin Xiangwan, who was sitting in front of him, pretending to be melancholy and slowly speaking, as if he was very helpless:
"And Brother Murong can actually tolerate your brother for so many years, and he is also a character, I, who is your sister, feel that I owe him, so I should treat it as a gift for my brother. ”
"Ahem-" Lin Queqing choked on the tea, coughed violently, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve speechlessly, and wiped the corners of his mouth. Sure enough, the touching just now was all a lie.
"How is my dear second brother going to please me......?
"......" Lin Queqing raised her eyebrows and looked at her sister's cunning appearance, and said quietly: "What do you want?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, why don't you make me three wishes, brother. Lin Xiangwan's expression at this moment was very innocent and innocent.
"......" Lin Queqing was rarely silent, gritted his teeth and said, "Two." "This time, for the sake of my friend's lifelong event, I gave it up.
It is precisely because Xiang Wan is his favorite sister that Lin Queqing knows her cunning very well. Now I am afraid that I will be tricked by this girl, Lin Queqing silently cried in her heart.
"Deal. Lin Xiangwan nodded happily, a pair of beautiful eyes flowing. "But what does Brother Murong really need me to help him with?" Lin Xiangwan wondered.
What can she do with thin arms and legs, she doesn't know martial arts, she just has the knowledge in her head. She thought about it for a long time, but she didn't think it through.
“... Ah Yun wants to send an envoy to the West Night, but this trip is not only to promote the friendship between the two countries, but more importantly, to make friends with the West Night for Qin and Jin. ”
"What do you say?" Lin Xiangwan was interested, holding his head and looking at Lin Queqing.
Lin Queqing raised her eyebrows, with an indifferent expression: "Princess Butterfly of the West Night beckons relatives." ”
"But this doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, how can I help Brother Murong?"
"Do you know that the West Night is the land of heavy literature?"
"......" Lin Xiangwan nodded lightly, she had done a lot of homework in order to let the Peerless Fang expand on the Shang Dynasty mainland, and Lin Queqing had also mentioned to her the situation of the four countries on the Shang Dynasty mainland before.
"The whole country loves the style of writing in the West Night, and the monarch is even more crazy about literature, so Princess West Night is more than Wen to recruit relatives, gathering talented people from all over the world, Ah Yun wants to go to the West Night with you to participate in the recruitment. Lin Queqing smiled and looked at Lin Xiangwan.
"Oh-" Lin Xiangwan stretched out his voice, sounding as if it contained infinite ridicule, "So Brother Murong wants me to help him hold the beauty?"
"Ghost girl, where did you learn that? Don't underestimate Ah Yun, although Ah Yun's health is not very good, but he is very angry. It's just that this time to recruit relatives, it can be big or small, and all countries will send people there, especially the princes and princes of various countries, and the royal relatives and nobles will recruit strategists to give advice to them in recruiting relatives. Lin Queqing explained to Lin Xiangwan in detail, and a pair of Danfeng eyes looked at Lin Xiangwan, as if to confirm whether her sister was stupid and didn't understand.
"It's hard to scream alone. Hearing this, Lin Xiangwan nodded, and his heart was clear. She didn't dare to forget the poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting for a moment, and now it seems that the gift given to her by the king of Hades is generous.
"If you make a move, how sure can you be?" Lin Queqing looked at his sister-in-law, with an elegant demeanor and a dusty temperament, but the cunning in his eyes was even more invisible.
"Actually, I don't know. Lin Xiangwan didn't lie, she hadn't participated in any literary competitions or other poetry meetings here, and she didn't know how talented the people over there were. "But I'll do my best. ”
"Of course, my sister is Mr. Su Dui's apprentice, so I can't shame him. Murong Yun reached out and touched Lin Xiangwan's head.
Lin Queqing wanted to accompany Murong Yun to prepare for tomorrow night's palace banquet, and after sitting in the Moon Halo Pavilion for a while, he was about to get up and leave. Before leaving, Lin Queqing also patted Lin Xiangwan's head, deliberately rubbed her hair, and told her what to pay attention to in the palace, and then reluctantly left.
