The night was heavy.

The inn and wine shops dispersed one after another, and the excitement on the street also dispersed, leaving behind the thick chill of the winter night.

Lin Fan returned to the Dingguo Mansion.

Walking to the main courtyard, the lights in the main house happened to be blown out.

Lin Fan paused, turned around and was about to leave.

Qiaoyu in the wing room heard the movement, lifted the curtain and came out to see, and saw that it was Lin Fan, and hurriedly saluted.

"Slave and maid?" Qiaoyu asked.

Lin Fan stopped her and said, "Since my mother is resting, don't quarrel with her." ”

"The old lady went to the mountain during the day, and everything went well," Qiao Yu said, "The old lady knew that you had made an appointment with Huang Gongzi for dinner, so she asked the slaves and maids to set the table early, saying that she was a little tired, and she didn't know when you would return home, so she went to bed early." ”

"It's okay," Lin Fan said softly, "I'll come back tomorrow morning." ”

Qiaoyu bowed: "The old lady asked for a signature in the view, and the signature was quite interesting, and she also said that she wanted to show it to Grandpa Guo." ”

To the maids and grandmothers around his mother, Lin Fan has always been kind.

And because he guessed Qiaoyu's identity, he never slackened.

Hearing Qiaoyu say this, Lin Fan said, "Then I'll take a closer look tomorrow." ”

Qiaoyuwaner.

It is very mysterious for people to get along with each other.

For example, she and the old lady are obviously very different identities, she is lucky to enter the house to do things, but the friendship between master and servant suddenly became friendly.

The old lady lives in the widowed mansion, and faces the people around them every day, naturally, they understand the old lady's emotions better.

And the grandfather and the old lady, the mother and son are a little estranged.

This is not unusual.

The mothers all said that when the son grew up, the relationship between the son and the mother was naturally not as close as when he was young.

Moreover, Grandpa Guo is busy with official business and has a lot of things, and he often goes to the yamen when he is resting.

Except for greeting each other in the morning and dusk, the mother and son rarely talk well every day.

In the small pieces of fun in life, those who have to say it are happy, and those who listen to it are also cheering.

Asking for a sign today, the old lady is happy and interested, and she will definitely mention it to Grandpa Guo later.

If Grandpa Guo didn't understand it, he would say a few words casually, I am afraid that he would disappoint the old lady.

It's not that Grandpa Guo doesn't have the patience to deal with the old lady, Qiaoyu can see that Grandpa Guo is very filial to the old lady, but he is too busy to react at once, just a trivial matter......

After getting to the bottom in advance, Grandpa Guo knew in his heart that when he talked about this matter with the old lady, he would definitely be able to enjoy the mother and son.

They are doing things in the house, don't they just hope that the old lady will be happy, and the grandfather, mother and son can be happy!

Glancing at the main house with only a faint night light, Lin Fan turned around to leave.

One foot crossed the threshold, slammed on the ground, and the foot that stepped out was retracted.

is also a girl's family, Qiaoyu's answer is more suitable than Huang Yi.

"Qiaoyu," Lin Fan stopped her and asked, "If you give a gift to the girl's family, what kind of thing is not abrupt?" ”

I didn't expect it to be such a problem, Qiaoyu was very surprised.

After thinking about it, she said: "Pendant hairpins and rouge dew, they are not easy to send casually, if the grandfather of the country does not know the other party's preferences, the slave thinks, the four treasures of the study, it should not be wrong." ”

Lin Fan nodded.

From the backyard to the front study, you need to walk through the long verandah.

The garden was shrouded in the thick of the night, and the shadows were full of shadows, as if the ink had been overturned and melted, thick and shallow.

In a flash of inspiration, Lin Fan thought that Qin Luan did not have the smell of the fragrance used by the girls, he only noticed a very faint, vague smell of ink.

Qiaoyu proposed the four treasures of the study.

He had just taken down the Shenghua Pavilion.

That day, in a hurry to settle on a place with Qin Luan, he didn't think much about it, and hurriedly said Shenghua Pavilion.

Because the pen and ink shop is like this, no matter men, women and children, they don't look in and out.

The owner of Shenghua Pavilion has the idea of making a move again, which is just agreeable.

It's a coincidence that I think about it now.

He didn't know Qin Luan's preferences, but Qin Luan himself would definitely have preferences.

When Qin Luan arrived at the Shenghua Pavilion, the things that her eyes stopped at were what she was interested in.

As long as he pays attention, he can't be wrong.

Following.

Lin Fan hurried to say goodbye to the old lady.

"I heard that I was resting when you came over last night," the old lady smiled softly, "I knew earlier, I would have waited a little longer." ”

Lin Fan asked, "Did you have a good rest?" ”

"Yes," said the old lady, bowing her head, "I asked for a signature yesterday, and you can also look at this signature." ”

Lin Fan took the note and read it from beginning to end.

The signing is not complicated, it only says that the willows are dark in the new year, and the flowers are bright, and they come alternately, like a garden in the south of the Yangtze River, one step at a time, one step at a time, and another scene.

In this way, it is no wonder that the old lady finds it interesting.

Lin Fan asked how the view was unsigned and what did his mother think......

The mother and son talked for almost a quarter of an hour around the short signature.

Qiaoyu and Mama Cao worked together, exchanging glances and snickering from time to time.

The old lady was really pleased.

That's nice.

When Lin Fan had to leave, the old lady reluctantly asked Mama Cao to send him out.

Lin Fan said: "It's not that my son won't come back when he goes out." ”

"There is a lot of business, and there is a lot of entertainment." The old lady said and laughed herself.

After Lin Fan left, Qiaoyu said softly and said with a smile: "Last night, Grandpa Guo asked the slave maid that he wanted to give a gift to a girl, what should be appropriate and not abrupt. ”

The old lady raised her head when she heard this: "Really? What else did he say? ”

Qiaoyu repeated all the questions and answers one by one, and then she saw joy in the old lady's eyes.

"The Four Treasures of the Study, this is a good idea," the old lady muttered, "I just don't know, it's ordinary etiquette, or ......"

Qiaoyu said softly: "If you meet the girl you like, it would be good." ”

"Yes," the old lady sighed with a smile, "I thought that he might not be enlightened, and I thought, how can there be a person who really can't be enlightened, and when I meet the right person, I will understand." I can't mess with him. Now it's okay, I don't know, wait for him to mention it to me. ”

The old lady's smile made Qiaoyu very happy.

It's just that Qiaoyu tasted a few wisps of sadness behind her smile.

Qiaoyu thought, this may be what the mothers said, when the son grows up and marries and becomes a husband and wife with other girls, the widow will have a loss.

On the other hand, Lin Fan was busy in the yamen until noon.

During the meal, several subordinates were discussing Zhao Qi's marriage.

"I'm getting married tomorrow, it's too urgent."

"Stomach doesn't wait for anyone, but it's not in a hurry."

"Who else doesn't know that there is one in the belly, and they want to cover it."

"We are errands in the thousand-step corridor, and we all know it, but the people in the capital don't know it, and the officials in other places don't know either, and we can build a little bit is a little bit."

"Hey, I heard that the Queen Mother summoned Miss Qin into the palace in the afternoon."

Lin Fanxun raised his eyes and frowned.

The Queen Mother is looking for Qin Luan, what can she do?

Or rather, what good can be?
