Chapter 36: The Unknown Outcome
Shuchen didn't know what the hydrangea in Chu Lin's hand meant to Chu Lin, but since Chu Lin was so happy to see the ground, this hydrangea must have an extraordinary meaning to Chu Lin.
Shuchen here is reaching the account book, and Chu Lin over there has already taken care of the account book, took the hydrangea and ran out of the study and left the scales courtyard.
Shuchen, who was still in reach of the account book, heard the movement of Chu Lin leaving, and he didn't care about the account book anymore, so he took a feather duster and chased him out.
Chu Yin, who was standing in the hall, saw Chu Lin come out, but ran out without saying anything to himself, and was puzzled, Shu Chen, who ran out with Chu Lin, handed him a feather duster: "Butler, the account book you want is behind the bookshelf, you find it yourself!" ”
After Shuchen finished saying this to Chu Yin, he chased after Chu Lin, leaving Chu Yin alone holding the feather duster in his hand in a daze.
Chu Lin, who ran all the way, walked out of the gate of Chu Mansion, stepped on June and rushed out, and the same was true for Shuchen, who chased him out.
Chu Lin, who was radiant on horseback, couldn't help but laugh when he recalled himself just now.
Lin Yueying didn't know that she had a marriage contract with her, so what if she didn't tell her at the beginning, wasn't she just trying to be happy? Since it's a happy picture, it's not impossible to be unsatisfactory? Besides, the relationship between the two is well known, can anyone still come to rob it?
Chu Lin thought about it, and the smile on his face was overjoyed.
In Yuyu Pavilion, the money shopkeeper who was settling accounts behind the counter saw Lin Yueying coming, so he neatly packed up the things on the counter and put them aside, and greeted Lin Yueying's arrival across the counter: "Miss Lin is here, what are you going to eat this time?" ”
Lin Yueying, who had just entered the Yuyu Pavilion, glanced at the money shopkeeper who greeted her, and then looked at the Yuyu Pavilion that was full, and then asked the money shopkeeper: "Qinglong is there?" ”
Lin Yueying is the second owner of this Yuyu Pavilion, outsiders don't know, the people of Yuyu Pavilion do know it.
This emperor can let the big proprietor of Yuyu Pavilion personally receive him, and he can still instruct Jin Ling to do things, there is really no second person, and this Lin Yueying is still Luo Shaoqing's cousin, everyone has to give her three points of thin noodles, and even this money shopkeeper who has been in the imperial capital for many years has to be cautiously entertained.
When the money shopkeeper saw Lin Yueying coming, he asked if Qinglong was there, and the sweat came out, so he took out a letter from under the counter with a smile: "This is what Qinglong asked the little one to give to Miss Lin." ”
Lin Yueying glanced at the money shopkeeper who was laughing, and then looked at the letter on the counter, although she didn't know what Qinglong meant, she still picked up the letter and looked at it.
It wasn't written on the envelope, not even signed.
Lin Yueying thought that Qinglong might not dare to face herself, so she told herself the reason by writing a letter, so Lin Yueying picked up the letter without thinking about it and opened it directly, but when she opened the letter, there were only four big words written on the white paper: No comment.
This made Lin Yueying angry, she came all the way to ask why Qinglong followed her, he was good, he wrote four words and wanted to send her, so angry that Lin Yueying slapped the letter on the counter fiercely, and yelled at the money shopkeeper: "Let him come out to see me immediately!" ”
Early this morning, when Luo Shaoqing put this letter here, the money shopkeeper felt that what he took over would definitely be a chore, and now it seems that this is really the case!
Lin Yueying's shot made Yuyu Pavilion, who was still noisy just now, quiet all of a sudden, and they all looked at this side curiously.
Lin Yueying's angry appearance startled the money shopkeeper, but when Luo Shaoqing came, he instructed the money shopkeeper to just give the letter to Lin Yueying, don't care what she says.
Thinking so, the money shopkeeper took out another letter from the counter and put it on the counter.
Lin Yueying looked at the money shopkeeper and took out another letter, thinking that this letter would definitely write something, so she opened it and read it, but there were still four big words on it: The time has not come.
Lin Yueying looked at the four big characters again, and she was so angry that she crumpled the letter paper into a ball and threw it directly on the counter.
Xu is Lin Yueying really overexerted her head, and the ball of paper actually bounced off the counter and hit the face of a golden toad with copper coins on the shelf behind the money shopkeeper.
Lin Yueying didn't scare the guests of Yuyu Pavilion this time, but she scared the money shopkeeper a lot.
Lin Yueying, who was really angry, couldn't care about the identity of the young lady, and yelled at the money shopkeeper: "If you don't call him out again, I'll order this Yuyu Pavilion, do you believe it or not?" ”
Lin Yueying's words, the money shopkeeper really didn't know whether to believe it or not, but after all, the matter handed over to him by Luo Shaoqing had not been completed, so he could only take out a letter from under the counter with a trembling head and put it on the counter tremblingly.
Lin Yueying looked at the letters on the counter, she was so angry that she couldn't speak, and asked the money shopkeeper with white eyes: "You have taken out so many letters again and again, let's say, how much did Qinglong put in you?" ”
When the money shopkeeper heard Lin Yueying say this, he smiled bitterly and put his hand under the counter again, and took out a neat stack of letters for a long time.
Lin Yueying looked at the tired letters on the counter, and she didn't even bother to get angry, so she stared at the money shopkeeper.
Lin Yueying's resentful eyes made the money shopkeeper hairy.
It took a long time for Lin Yueying to sigh and explain to the money shopkeeper: "Tell Qinglong that I have written down today's events and yesterday's events. Tell him again that one day I will ask him for an explanation, if I don't ask him for an explanation, my surname will be written in reverse! ”
Since Luo Shaoqing went back yesterday, he has been thinking about how to make her no longer pursue without confessing to Lin Yueying. But Luo Shaoqing couldn't think of any suitable words after thinking about it, so he simply thought of such a thing, neither to meet Lin Yueying, but also to make Lin Yueying unable to pursue it.
Lin Yueying turned around and left Yuyu Pavilion after speaking, when she walked to the door of Yuyu Pavilion, she was really angry, and kicked the wooden lower link hanging on the door frame on the right side, and kicked the lower link crookedly.
The shopkeeper looked at Lin Yueying, who walked out angrily, and didn't dare to mutter until he couldn't see and hear the figure: "The word 'Lin' is written in reverse, isn't it still Lin?" ”
Lin Feng, who was waiting in front of the door, saw Lin Yueying coming out so quickly, and hurriedly walked towards her: "Didn't Miss say that she wanted to see someone, and it was over so soon?" ”
Lin Yueying, who had just come out of the door, heard Lin Feng's words, and her anger came up again: "People didn't come at all, who did you see?" ”
It's just that people didn't come, Lin Yueying was so angry, and Lin Feng asked more: "Didn't you come?" ”
It's okay that Lin Feng didn't ask, but when he asked, Lin Yueying became even more angry: "Not only did he not come, but he also left me a lot of letters that didn't write anything, which really me off!" ”
"That Miss is ......"
Lin Yueying looked back at the gold-lacquered Yuyu Pavilion signboard, and sighed for a long time: "Forget it, if that person doesn't come, it's not easy for me to find it." ”
Although Lin Yueying said this, the fire in her heart still couldn't go down, she stomped her foot fiercely, and said angrily: "I'm in a bad mood, go out for a walk!" ”
After Lin Yueying finished speaking, she turned around and left, didn't take two steps, and turned back to Lin Feng and said, "Don't follow me!" ”
When Lin Feng heard Lin Yueying say that he wanted to go out for a walk, he wanted to follow, but before he could take a step, Lin Yueying wouldn't let him follow.
Although Lin Feng didn't want Lin Yueying to wander around, but Lin Yueying was angry now, he didn't dare to follow, he was really afraid that Lin Yueying would spill his anger on his head.
In the Ganli Building, on the stage where the light veil is falling, a veiled singer is caressing the piano, and the gentle and uncertain notes are fluttering in the Ganli Building filled with the fragrance of wine.
Xiao Si went up to the second floor with the wine that had just come out of Gan Lilou and a few small dishes, only to see that Xiao Si stopped in front of a private room and called to the door: "Childe, the wine and food are here." ”
The people inside the door heard Xiao Si's shout and replied, "Come in." ”
When Xiao Si heard the response, he tidied up the clothes on his body, and then pushed the door in, only to see two men sitting next to the Furong table in the private room, on the left was Yuan Cheng who had changed into a water-colored Chunlan, and on the right was Qi Yungu who had changed back into a white dress.
Xiao Si cautiously came to the two of them, put the wine and food in front of the two of them in turn, then exited the private room, closed the door and stood at the door waiting.
Yuan Cheng lifted the wine pot with Mo Lan burned, poured a glass of wine for Qi Yungu first, and then poured himself a glass of wine.
Yuan Cheng poured the wine and put down the wine jug, picked up the wine glass and saluted Qi Yungu: "Just out today, taste it." ”
Ganlilou is the restaurant of Yuan's mansion, and the wine can be said to be one of the best, not to mention that there is an endless stream of people who come to order wine, so it is said that this Qi Yungu has always been a frequent visitor to this Ganlilou.
At the beginning, Qi Yungu couldn't accept Yuan Yi's death, so he often drank in Ganli Building, every time he was still drunk, and he spent the night in this Ganli Building from time to time, so at that time, in this small private room, in addition to a hibiscus table, there was a narrow bed and brocade back, and some useful objects, everything, this private room at that time, it could be said that it was Qi Yungu's exclusive private room.
On weekdays, Yuan Cheng also asked Qi Yungu to drink from time to time, but it was all at night, but Yuan Cheng invited Qi Yungu to taste wine in broad daylight today, which had to make Qi Yungu pay more attention.
Qi Yungu also picked up the wine glass, smelled the rich aroma of wine, touched one with Yuan Cheng, tasted it, the sweet liquor was slightly spicy in the mouth, and it was pure cotton in the throat.
Qi Yungu drank a glass of wine, and there was a warm current in his abdomen. The strong aroma of the wine was like an unruly wild horse, circling around Qi Yungu's stomach and gushing out of his nose.
Qi Yungu just put down the wine glass here, slowly savoring the sweetness in his mouth. But Qi Yungu was reminiscing about it, but Yuan Cheng was bored with the sweet liquor.
Yuan Cheng took a sip of the glass of wine, and before he could taste the taste, he felt that his stomach was hot, and the wine gas was still rushing upward, which made Yuan Cheng's head hurt. But Yuan Cheng just frowned, so he poured himself another glass, picked up the wine glass and touched the wine glass in Qi Yungu's hand, and took another sip.
Qi Yungu looked at Yuan Cheng who was drinking glass after glass, and knew that he was using the excuse of tasting wine to get drunk, although he didn't want to pay for this wine.
Qi Yungu saw that Yuan Cheng poured himself another glass, and he was about to take a sip again, so he hurriedly put his free left hand and pressed Yuan Cheng's right hand holding the wine glass: "Do you just taste the wine, or pour the wine?" ”
Yuan Cheng saw that Qi Yun Gu was not allowed to drink, so he took his hand away and said, "Isn't it all drunk into the stomach, it's the same!" ”
After Yuan Cheng finished speaking, he had another glass of wine, so that Qi Yungu couldn't stop it.
When he was in Ning'an Garden yesterday, Qi Yungu noticed that Yuan Cheng, who rarely gets drunk on weekdays, not only poured wine in Ning'an Garden, but also toasted with the people who came to toast him, and all this was because Lin Yueying announced in front of everyone that she had a marriage contract with Chu Lin.
Qi Yungu looked at Yuan Cheng, who was pouring wine vigorously, and thought of himself who was drinking like him at the beginning, but Qi Yungu knew that this was just escaping reality, it was himself before, and now it is Yuan Cheng.
Qi Yun thought about it for a while, and then drank all the wine in the cup.
Yuan Cheng, who was still thinking about having another glass, saw that Qi Yungu also drank the wine in the wine glass in one go, but stopped.
Qi Yungu put down the empty wine glass, looked at Yuan Cheng, and asked, "Your lifeless wine is for Lin Yueying?" ”
When Yuan Cheng heard Qi Yungu's words, he put down his wine glass a little heavily, and replied duplicitously: "No! ”
Qi Yungu looked at the wine spilled from Yuan Cheng's wine glass, and knew that Yuan Cheng's heart was different, so he turned around and persuaded Yuan Cheng: "Also, there are many good girls in the world, you don't need to take your own future for a Lin Yueying, or even the future of the entire Yuan family faction!" ”
Yuan Cheng saw that Qi Yungu said so seriously, so he said recklessly: "You are underestimating me, how can I take my own future for her?" ”
Qi Yungu saw that Yuan Cheng was still stiff-mouthed, so he teased: "Really? Then who said that if the south wall separates someone from whom, it will be a big deal and whoever will climb over it? ”
Qi Yungu's words made Yuan Cheng, who had just been reckless, quiet all of a sudden.
When he was in Ning'an Garden yesterday, Qi Yungu had a question in his heart, and he didn't know whether to tell Yuan Cheng, but Qi Yungu looked at Yuan Cheng, who was silent, and hesitated to ask: "When you first saw Lin Yueying, did she deliberately keep a distance from you?" ”
Yuan Cheng didn't know what Qi Yungu meant, but he still replied obediently: "No." When I asked Yueying to pretend to be my sister to see my grandmother, because of the relationship between the two families, Yueying couldn't blatantly take a carriage to my house, I carried it back and forth between Yuan and Lin, until Miao Miao came, she didn't let me send her back. ”
"You're holding her?"
"Yes!"
Qi Yungu listened to Yuan Cheng's reply, and there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
When Lin Yueying told the Empress Dowager Xi yesterday that she had a marriage match, Qi Yungu felt that what Lin Yueying said was not necessarily the truth, but he really didn't dare to say it because he wasn't sure about it.
Yuan Cheng saw that Qi Yun was about to speak and stopped, and hurriedly asked, "Is there anything strange?" ”
Even he wasn't sure about something, Qi Yungu really didn't want to tell Yuan Cheng, if Lin Yueying didn't have a marriage contract with Chu Lin, it would be fine, if there was really something, wouldn't he make Yuan Cheng happy in vain? But Qi Yungu couldn't see Yuan Cheng abuse himself so badly, so he decided to tell Yuan Cheng his thoughts.
Chu Lin and Shu Chen rode horses to the downtown area, and when they saw that it was inconvenient to ride horses, they changed to walking.
Shuchen, who had just entered the crowd, looked at the bustling crowd and didn't know how to find it: "Childe, we don't know where Miss Yueying went, how to find this?" ”
Chu Lin, who didn't know how to find it, how could he answer Shuchen?
"Let's see."
Shu Chen saw that Chu Lin couldn't answer, and it was not easy to talk about him, so he followed Chu Lin and continued to look for Lin Yueying.
The two shuttled through the crowd, and after a while, the sharp-eyed Chu Lin saw that Lin Feng was driving the carriage back, so he called Shangshuchen to walk towards him.
Lin Feng, who was driving the carriage, saw Chu Lin coming, and hurriedly asked the horse pulling the carriage to stop, and he also got down from the carriage and greeted Chu Lin: "Young Master Lin, where are you going?" ”
Chu Lin slowly approached the carriage, he didn't know how Lin Yueying would face him now, would he still salivate his eyebrows as usual, or would he run away from himself like just now?
Chu Lin, who came to the carriage, gently lifted the curtain of the carriage, but there was no one in the carriage.
"Where's the moon?"
Lin Feng saw that Chu Lin was here to find Lin Yueying, so he kindly reminded: "Miss?" Just now, Miss went to Yuyu Pavilion to see someone, but the other party didn't seem to appear, so Miss was very angry because of this, so she went to relax by herself. ”
Lin Yueying went to Yuyu Pavilion to meet people at this time, who would she see?
Chu Lin asked more: "Who does Yueying want to see?" ”
Who Lin Yueying wants to see, Lin Feng really knows, but Lin Yueying has instructed that she can't tell anyone about Lin Yueying's relationship with Yuyu Pavilion now, even Lin Jinzhuo is no exception, so she said: "I was just waiting at the door of Yuyu Pavilion just now, and I didn't follow in, so I don't know who Miss wants to see." ”
"Did Yueying say where she was going?"
Lin Feng, who really didn't know where Lin Yueying went, really couldn't answer Chu Lin's question: "No." ”
Chu Lin saw that Lin Feng couldn't answer, so he asked again, "Then which direction is she going?" ”
"I guess it's over there."
"Got it."
After Chu Lin finished speaking, he bypassed the carriage and took Shuchen to Shanglang Street.
Shopkeeper Ge, who came out of Yuan's mansion after explaining the matter, saw a familiar face standing by the river, and was about to go up to say hello, but before he could speak, the man punched the trunk of the willow tree beside him. Maybe that person is not a martial arts practitioner, and he can't withstand this punch, no, it hurts so much that she can't care about her identity and squats on the ground, rubbing her little hands.
Next to the river, Lin Yueying, who was still angry, the more she thought about it, the more she didn't look white, the more she thought about it, the more messy her head became, and she was holding a branch, knocking on the trunk of the willow tree in front of her, and muttering vigorously: "Let you come uninvited, let you be ghostly, let you avoid me!" ”
Lin Yueying muttered angrily, and punched the trunk of the tree. But how could Lin Yueying's tender little hands withstand such a punch? No, it hurt so much that she squatted on the ground regardless of her manners, rubbing her little hands.
Shopkeeper Ge looked at Lin Yueying rubbing his little hands, and knew without thinking about it that this punch must be very painful. But the girl may be angry, so the shopkeeper didn't dare to come forward to say hello, so he could only walk away as if he didn't see it.
Qi Yungu looked at Yuan Cheng's expectant little eyes seriously, and it took a long time before he said, "In your opinion, Lin Yueying has the courage to dare to pull Chu Lin out to block the sword in order to prevent the queen mother from marrying her?" ”
Since Yuan Cheng met Lin Yueying, her courage and courage, Yuan Cheng couldn't be clearer, not only can she know and instruct the people of Yuyu Pavilion in a short period of time, but also in the face of herself who appeared in her Wangshu Pavilion, she is also in danger, it is not impossible to say that she dares to use Chu Lin to block the sword.
Qi Yungu couldn't help but make Yuan Cheng vigilant: "Are you trying to track down Yueying's crime of bullying the king?" ”
The crime of deceiving the king, this crime is not small!
Yuan Cheng thought back to yesterday when Lin Yueying and Empress Dowager Xi had a marriage match, the people of the Luo family faction did not have much reaction, but it was Chu Lin who smiled so overjoyed, which had to make Yuan Cheng doubt Qi Yungu's words.
Qi Yungu saw that Yuan Cheng had misinterpreted his meaning, so he explained: "No, if I really cared about Lin Yueying's crime of bullying the king, I would have exposed her yesterday, how could I acquiesce in her crime?" ”
"And what do you mean?"
"I just want to know, does she Lin Yueying have the courage to deceive my queen mother in front of so many people?"
Yuan Cheng saw that Qi Yungu didn't want to investigate Lin Yueying's crimes, and Qi Yungu's words also made Yuan Cheng interested: "Don't say it, Yueying really has the guts!" ”
Qi Yungu looked at Yuan Cheng, who was still listless just now, but he was so happy because of his words, and Qi Yungu didn't want to say anything about the rest of the words.
Qi Yungu continued: "So I was skeptical yesterday, Lin Yueying said that she had a marriage contract with Chu Lin, is it true?" ”
"Then how can you be sure it's fake?"
Yuan Cheng couldn't wait to ask.
This is just Qi Yungu's conjecture, Qi Yungu is really not sure.
Qi Yungu picked up the wine glass again and sniffed the wine.
Yuan Cheng saw that Qi Yungu didn't answer, so he hurriedly urged: "What about you!" ”
Qi Yungu took a sip of wine before he said unhurriedly: "What's the use of you asking me, what I said just now is just my conjecture!" ”
Yuan Cheng was puzzled: "Then who do I ask?" ”
It is said that love can make people blind, and today it seems that this is true.
Qi Yungu looked at Yuan Cheng, who was not enlightened, and was anxious and angry: "If you want to know who is not married, then naturally you are asking." ”
Let Yuan Cheng ask Lin Yueying if she has a marriage match, how can he ask? If she is not married, she will be as she is, and she can be as she is now; If she has a marriage match, she rashly asks her, and she is only herself who is embarrassed.
Qi Yungu looked at Yuan Cheng, who was hesitant in front of him, and wanted to persuade him again but didn't, after all, no matter what happened to him and Lin Yueying, it was also his own business.
Yuan Cheng was hesitating when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
Yuan Cheng, who was in a state of confusion, was upset by the sound of knocking on the door, so he yelled at the door: "What are you knocking on, the prince is here, I don't know?" ”
Qi Yungu, who took another sip of wine, heard Yuan Cheng use himself to block the sword, and he was a little skeptical that he had learned from Lin Yueying.
Outside the door, the shopkeeper listened to Yuan Cheng's unhappy tone, and was a little frightened, but he still wanted to tell Yuan Cheng what he saw.
Shopkeeper Ge approached the door and said to Yuan Cheng through the door: "Son, on the way from the house, the villain met Miss Lin. ”
Shopkeeper Ge was talking about Miss Lin, but he didn't say which Miss Lin, and the upset Yuan Cheng didn't have the heart to think about it: "Which Miss Lin?" ”
Shopkeeper Ge was confused when he heard Yuan Cheng's words, who else was Miss Lin who he said besides Lin Yueying?
"The girl Lin that the villain said is Miss Lin Yueyinglin."
As soon as Yuan Cheng heard Lin Yueying's name, his irritable expression calmed down for three points.
Shopkeeper Ge continued: "But the villain seems to be very strange to Miss Lin, who has been beating the willow tree by the river, and muttering something uninvited, elusive, and ignoring her. ”
Didn't he just come to Lin Yueying uninvited and let her go to see her grandmother? Later, didn't he often go out of his way in the Lin Mansion? Isn't it true that I don't know how to face her now, and I'm hiding here to drink?
Yuan Cheng thought about it as a matter of course, his eyes returned to his former vigor, and he couldn't care about Qi Yungu, who was sitting opposite, so he got up and ran out.
What the shopkeeper Ge said, Qi Yungu also listened to it word for word, and when he was about to persuade Yuan Cheng to confirm, Yuan Cheng didn't say a word, got up and came to the door, opened the door and ran out.
Qi Yungu looked at Yuan Cheng, who was still hesitant just now, and suddenly became alive and well, I don't know whether he was happy by his undisguised happiness, or his somewhat rude behavior and dumbfounded, and sat there alone with a wry smile.
Yuan Cheng, who had just run out, turned back again, leaned on the door and said to Qi Yungu happily: "Lord Wang, no matter what the result is, you and I should have never seen it today, and we should not have said what you and I just said!" ”
Qi Yungu, who was alone in the private room, looked at Yuan Cheng who turned around and ran out, and smiled heartily. It was just his speculation just now, and he could make Yuan Cheng happy like this. But Qi Yungu thought about it, he was just speculating just now, and if he was right, he would not make Yuan Chengbai happy?
However, what did Yuan Cheng's words just now mean?
