Chapter 114: The Marriage That Is Looming
Lin Zhuyun slowed his pace and quietly walked to the door of the carving workshop, wanting to see which bold person dared to take advantage of Lin Ji's absence to come in and steal the carving equipment.
She looked in, but looked at the handsome young man who was carving with his head bored.
He was dressed in a navy blue coarse cloth shirt, and his trouser legs were a little short, revealing a thin leg bone. He held a carving knife in his right hand and was carving something out of a piece of wood.
Lin Zhuyun looked at him, and suddenly a name appeared in her mind: "Yang family boy, Yang Xiangyang!"
The young man suddenly heard someone calling him at the door, and he stopped the carving knife in his hand in astonishment and looked at the door, and a bright smile bloomed on his face the moment he saw Lin Zhuyun.
He hurriedly put down the things in his hand and ran to the door quickly, and saluted Lin Zhuyun: "Miss Wan'an!"
Lin Zhuyun looked at him carefully, "But I haven't seen you for a few months, and you've grown taller again."
The boy scratched his head shyly, a teenager who always grew up faster.
"Miss hasn't changed, it's the same...... of beauty."
Lin Zhuyun covered his mouth and smiled, as if he was laughing at his desire to flatter but was slightly clumsy.
"Why are you here?"
"During the war, the head of the department was supposed to take us with me, but I saw that there were still a lot of tools in this shop that I couldn't take away, and I was afraid that the enemy would destroy them, so I volunteered to stay here......
Lin Zhuyun was stunned, she didn't expect that the young man in front of her, who was much younger than her, would be so loyal.
「…… Thank you for your hard work, were you injured during the war? By the way, what about your aunt?"
The young man grinned: "No, there is a hidden cellar in the backyard of this shop for hiding jade materials, and in the most chaotic days outside, I took my aunt to hide in the cellar, not only was I not injured, but I also gained some weight."
Lin Zhuyun also raised her lips and smiled: "That's fine, when I go back and tell Daddy, you are so loyal to the Lord, you will have to give you a deputy to do."
The young man was a little panicked for a moment: "No, no, miss, I just want to concentrate on carving."
When he had finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, went into the carving workshop, and took out a small box wrapped in satin from one of the drawers.
He handed the locket to Lin Zhuyun, and his face was slightly red: "Miss, this is for you."
Lin Zhuyun raised his eyebrows and curiously unveiled the brocade.
I saw that inside the silk was a palm-sized wooden box, and the lid of the wooden box was extremely finely carved with a budding peach blossom, and every stamen and petal were lifelike, and the beauty was extraordinary.
The wooden box was full of peach pink balm, and as soon as the wooden box was opened, a peach blossom fragrance came to the nostrils.
"It's ...... Balm?!" There was a look of surprise in Lin Zhuyun's eyes.
Yang Xiangyang bowed his head a little embarrassedly: "Thanks to the silver that Miss gave me before, I took it and invited a famous doctor, my aunt's illness is now cured, maybe I don't have to drink medicine every day in the future." I don't have anything valuable, so I carved this wooden box and wanted to give it to Miss."
He paused, and then continued, "Ah Niang said that there was no way to give away empty boxes, and because she was making balm to make a living before she got sick, she went to collect some peach blossoms and made a box of peach blossom balm for Miss. Say Miss, your complexion is white, and the pink color of this peach blossom balm is the most flattering to you......
Lin Zhuyun looked at him with a smile: "Then I'm not welcome, and I bother you to help me thank you Auntie, I like this balm very much."
Yang Xiangyang heard that Lin Zhuyun liked it, and the joy on his face was overflowing.
Lin Zhuyun looked at the many things carved in the carving workshop, turned his head and asked, "Yang family boy, can you carve tombstones?"
Yang Xiangyang was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and said, "If you want to carve a tombstone, it is best to use sesame flower stones, which are solemn and atmospheric. It's just that the carving of this stone is a little different from wood and jade, the hardness and toughness are a little different, although I haven't carved, but these are all figured out, there are tools for cutting tombstones, if you don't use carving, only carving words should still be difficult for me......
A serious look appeared on Lin Zhuyun's face: "You don't need to carve flowers, just be solemn." They are heroic heroes, and only a name is enough for future generations to respect, and those prosperous things are a burden."
"Miss...... Is it to make tombstones for the soldiers who died in battle?"
Lin Zhuyun nodded: "Exactly, I promised the leader of the Royal Forest Army that the thousands of soldiers who died in the Lingcheng will be returned by me Lin Ji to them as tombstones, so that they don't have to be buried in this foreign land without a name."
"Miss! Let me carve! Even if I carve my hands out of them, I'm willing!" Yang Xiangyang's face was a little enthusiastic.
Lin Zhuyun patted him gently: "If you want, of course it's good. But there are so many, and you will definitely not be able to do it alone, don't worry, I will go back and discuss with my father and brothers, and I will gather all the jade carving masters who are still in the Lingcheng, and when the time comes, you will be the host, and take everyone together to carve the tombstones of thousands of heroes who fought for the Lingcheng, so as to comfort their souls in the sky, and also let their descendants have a place to worship."
Yang Xiangyang pursed his lips tightly and nodded heavily.
……
Every day before dawn, he dared to go to the carving workshop with the eldest brother and the second brother of the Lin family, either to check the quality of the stones, or to check whether the words on the tombstone were engraved correctly, or just because they were worried that they would not be too busy to help.
Always have to work until after dusk before leaving the carving workshop, Lin Zhuyun, who has been busy all day, sat paralyzed in the carriage and asked Xiaotang to beat her shoulder.
When he was about to walk to the Lin Mansion, he suddenly heard a lot of discussion outside.
"This young girl of the Lin family is really a good fate!"
"Who's to say it's not? As soon as he was born, he grew up with a golden soup spoon, and was raised with gold and jade food since he was a child. The only grievance is that the merchant was born, and it is easy to be seen by the powerful, but now it's good, this door to enter the general's mansion, as soon as the serious general's wife does it, who dares to look down on her?"
Lin Zhuyun heard that she was talking about her outside, and suddenly became interested, and put her index finger to her lips to signal Xiaotang not to speak, and continued to listen to others.
"However, this young woman of the Lin family is also a good woman, have you heard about her making tombstones for those dead soldiers?"
"What is a tombstone? I haven't heard of it......
"In the war caused by the Shan State last month, although our mausoleum was defended, the Kuang family army, the white-robed army and the royal forest army from the capital to support all had many casualties. But the Imperial Forest Army is all poor people, their hometown is far away, and they have the most people killed in battle, so they can only be buried at will without a name or surname, but after the young daughter of the Lin family heard about it, she took the initiative to take this job for Lin Ji, saying that these thousands of tombstones are all made by Lin Ji!"
"I mean, I haven't seen her anywhere lately, so I'm busy with such an important matter! Amitabha, she does good deeds, and she should be rewarded. She has the blessing to be the general's wife!"
"So...... We don't need to focus on celebrities, everyone has their own blessings......
"Hey! This alley is full of bride price, and it's hard not to blush......
With that, the two left with a smile on their faces.
Lin Zhuyun felt a little strange, what kind of bride price were they talking about?
At this time, Xiao Song, who was driving the carriage, suddenly knocked on the door of the carriage: "Miss...... Ahead...... It seems that the carriage can't pass......
"What? How can you not get by?" Lin Zhuyun frowned and opened the curtain of the car, but was so shocked by the scenery in front of him that he almost dropped his veil.
I saw that in the alley where the Lin Mansion was located, the big red money box was neatly placed in the alley, blocking most of the road.
Lin Zhuyun walked over and counted them slightly, I am afraid there are as many as ten.
She walked forward, the two loads of cakes were stacked high, the rare shark fin, scallops and other seafood at the border were full of two baskets, and the two females, two males and two pairs of chickens kept fluttering their wings, full of vitality.
It was easy to enter the Lin Mansion, and the courtyard of the Lin Mansion was also full, with gold tea tubes, silver tea tubes, gold basins and silver basins, silk and satin, jade, and ancient paintings...... It was as if all the good things in the world were piled up in the courtyard of the Lin Mansion.
Rao is Lin Zhuyun is a lady who has piled up brocade and jade, and at this moment, looking at these ten-colored gold and precious objects, he was still a little stunned, and suddenly understood what those roadside women said, "The bride price in the alley is difficult."
When she looked at it again, there were suddenly several wooden boxes in the pile of gold and jade, and she gently picked one up and opened it, and it was all peach blossom balm.
The iron head suddenly appeared, and his face was full of joy: "Hehe, our general knows that the boy from the Yang family gave Miss Lin your balm, so he ordered someone to urgently purchase some to add to the dowry, Miss Lin, what do you think?"
Lin Zhuyun couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, and muttered in a low voice, "Could it be that he can't even eat the vinegar of a child?"
Mother Lin heard that Lin Zhuyun was back, so she hurriedly ran out of the main hall: "Yunyun! Yunyun! General Kwong is here!"
Lin Zhuyun was pulled into the main hall in a trance, only to see that in the main hall, Master Kuang and Mrs. Kuang looked at her with a pleasant face, Master Lin's hand trembled slightly, and Kuang Lin was still standing tall beside Master Kuang as usual.
just kept rubbing the hand of the jade pendant on his waist, betraying his nervousness.
In an instant, Lin Zhuyun also nervously held the jade pendant on his waist as well.
Kuang Lin saw her movements, and gently hooked his lips and smiled, his eyes full of tenderness.
Master Kuang smiled and spoke first: "Now that the war has subsided, is it time to put the marriage of the dog and the noble girl on the agenda?"
Master Lin nodded, but there was some reluctance in his eyes: "I can't give up, I can't give up, my daughter still has to get married." In a few days, Yunyun's seventeenth birthday will be gone, and I can't keep her as an old girl......
Mrs. Kuang smiled: "Master Lin doesn't have to be reluctant, Kuang's Mansion is next door, if you miss your daughter, just let the little maid shout, won't she be able to come over?"
"Haha, it's ...... too."
Master Kuang continued: "I just heard from Master Lin that in a few days it will be the noble girl's birthday? In my opinion, why should we set the day of our wedding on the second day of the winter month? We asked the master to see that it was a good day for marriage and the birthday of a noble girl, and it was the best to be happy and happy, what do you think?"
Father Lin lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then laughed and said, "Okay! Good! Day! It's set on the second day of the winter moon!"
Mother Lin whispered in Lin Zhuyun's ear: "Yunyun, today I saw that General Kuang and their wives came to the door in person, and the bride price was extremely heavy. You married into the Kuang family, married General Kuang, and you are relieved for your mother."
Lin Zhuyun's face was flushed at the moment, she never thought that her marriage was in front of her.
