In fact, Lin Ping'an didn't deliberately want to see Yang Ai, but because the other party was too famous.

"Well-read, able to write poems, interspersed with white flowers, elegant and exquisite."

This is the description of Liu Rushi in "Yushan Painting Chronicles", and Lin Ping'an still remembers it vividly.

Liu Ruye's life has been full of ups and downs, and the most talked-about thing is not her beauty and talent, but her integrity.

When she was twenty years old, she got acquainted with the courtiers of the imperial court at that time, and at the age of twenty-eight, she obtained Qian Qianyi, who was the leader of the Donglin Party and a great writer during the Chongzhen period.

Later, when the Qing army entered the customs, Chongzhen Yu hanged himself in the coal mountain, and Liu persuaded Qian Qianyi to jump into the river with him to martyrdom, but Qian Qianyi touched the river with his hand, and actually said that the water was too cold to go down, which also became a joke through the ages.

Later, when she learned that Qian Qianyi was preparing to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, Liu Ru resolutely chose to commit suicide by hanging the beam, ending her life.

This incident has become a story that has been passed down through the ages, and people lament that Liu Ru is ill-fated at the same time, but also feel deep admiration for her national integrity, so later generations will call her the head of Qin Huai Bayan, which is the reason.

When Lin Ping'an heard Xu Fo ask if he liked Yang Ai?

He couldn't help but sigh: "Yang Aixiu is exquisite, it is really exciting." ”

Xu Fo sighed, slightly surprised, in her eyes, Yang Ai is still a girl who has not grown, how can she afford the praise of Xiuya's superb four words?

Then she looked at Lin Ping'an, and suddenly realized:

"I'm really confused, this boy is still a child, in his eyes. Yang Ai is naturally a beautiful girl, but it's a pity that he has no personnel and can't appreciate the taste of a woman like me. ”

Thinking of this, she shook her head slightly, feeling a little pity, and suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred in her mind, and she said to Lin Ping'an:

"Lin Gongzi, if I give you this Yang Ai, can I give me Xu Fo the poem just now?"

When Lin Ping'an heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, he never thought that he could keep Liu Ru by his side.

And Yang Ai on the side was also surprised by this sentence, she was poor since she was a child, and she had no choice but to follow the study of Buddhism to become a famous maidservant, although she worked hard and low, but she also had no worries about food and clothing, at this moment Xu Fo actually wanted to give him to the son in front of her, which made her worry about her fate again.

Seeing that Lin Ping'an didn't speak, Xu Fo suddenly became a little anxious, she knew that if Lin Ping'an's poem was not unexpected, it would spread in this Beijing city tomorrow, if she could let the other party give this poem to herself, then her name would inevitably become popular all over the country with this poem in the future, and it would last for a long time.

"Isn't Childe willing?"

Xu Fo asked, and finally gritted his teeth and said:

"If Childe gives me this poem, I am willing to give another two thousand taels of silver, plus the previous eight thousand taels, to make up ten thousand taels and give it to Childe.

She also knew at this moment that the son in front of her loved money rather than beauty, as long as she talked to him about money, everything would be easy to do.

Sure enough, Lin Ping'an nodded and said:

"So thank you Miss Xu Fo, I just haven't chosen a name for that poem yet, you might as well call it "Butterfly Love Flower. The Forbidden City gives Xu Buddha "It". ”

Hearing this, Xu Fo was overjoyed, and hurriedly took pen and ink, and wrote the name on the piece of paper that Lin Ping'an had written before.

Then she said to Lin Ping'an: "Since Childe likes Yang Ai, then you might as well chat with her first, and I will compose Childe's poem into lyrics and music."

It's no wonder that Xu Fo is so anxious, because Lin Ping'an's words may spread in the capital the next day, if she doesn't compose the lyrics and music at the first time, she is afraid that other girls will take the lead, and then she will not be able to say it clearly.

So she took the yaoqin, contemplated it, and suddenly the intermittent sound of the qin sounded in the room.

Lin Ping'an didn't understand the rhythm of music, so he had no choice but to say to Yang Ai:

"My name is Lin Ping'an, and I am the director of Tai Hospital, are you willing to go back with me?"

Yang Ai sighed slightly in her heart, sighing that her life experience was floating like duckweed.

So she nodded helplessly, bowed deeply to Lin Ping'an, and then said:

"Yang Ai asks Gongzi to give him a name."

In ancient times, slaves and maids were private property, and they could naturally be sent back and forth like things, so Yang Ai was helpless against Xu Fo's approach, and since he had decided to follow Lin Ping'an at this moment, according to the usual practice, he naturally needed the other party to give him another name.

Lin Ping'an deliberately pondered for a moment, and then said:

"It's better to call Liu Ru with wine."

"Liu is ......"

Yang Ai muttered in his mouth, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "I have no roots like catkins, so it's very good." ”

After saying this, she saluted Lin Ping'an, turned around and walked to another room to pack the things she wanted to take away.

A moment later, Yang Ai appeared in front of Lin Ping'an with a small burden in her hand, and then she put down the burden and knelt in front of Xu Fo and kowtowed three times.

Xu Fo waved his hand without raising his head and said, "Since I gave you to Lin Gongzi, you must serve Lin Gongzi well in the future." ”

After saying this, she stopped speaking, immersed herself in the creation of that poem, and even Lin Ping'an said goodbye to her.

Lin Ping'an showed a wry smile on his face, and pulled Liu Ru out of the attic.

The people in the front yard have dispersed, and there is no one else except the large teapots in the running hall.

The middle-aged scribe watched Lin Ping'an pull Liu Ru out with him, and his face couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

Lin Ping'an nodded at him slightly, and pulled Liu Ru out of Tongqing Building.

Outside the building.

A carriage waited silently, and a slender figure stood there like a sculpture beside it.

"Yun Shu, why are you here?"

Lin Ping'an asked in surprise.

But when he saw the flying bat urn beside Ye Yunshu, he said angrily: "It's good for you kid, go out to soak in the Qinglou, Miss Yunshu has to pull me to wait for you here." ”

Ye Yunshu's face was a little red when he heard this, but he still looked at Lin Ping'an stubbornly and didn't speak.

Lin Ping'an looked at Ye Yunshu, who was a little thin in the night breeze, and a warmth surged in his heart, he stepped forward to take Ye Yunshu's hand, and said with some embarrassment:

"Today is the invitation of everyone from the Tai Hospital, it's really hard to refuse."

Ye Yunshu ignored him and asked with a cold face, "How many bottles of perfume have you sold?" ”

Lin Ping'an was stunned for a moment, before he left, he lied to Ye Yunshu that he went to the Qinglou to sell the perfume, but when he arrived at the Tongqing Building, he had already forgotten about it.

Seeing his expression, Ye Yunshu snorted coldly, pointed at Liu Ru behind Lin Ping'an and sneered:

"The perfume didn't sell, but I brought back a girl, young master, you can really do it!"

When Lin Ping'an heard this, he immediately complained bitterly, this special meow is really a little unclear.

But fortunately, Liu Ru is still young, and he is only seven or eight years old, so no matter how he says it, it will not be reminiscent of that aspect.

So he pulled Liu Ruis and introduced to Ye Yunshu: "This little girl is Liu Rushi, and she will be our family in the future." ”

Liu Ru is very smart, and she has served by Xu Fo's side for a long time, so she naturally knows how to observe words and feelings.

Although she doesn't know what the relationship between Ye Yunshu and Lin Ping'an is now, judging from the way they speak, the relationship between the two must be unusual.

So she immediately saluted Ye Yunshu and said, "The slave has seen the girl." ”

When Ye Yunshu heard this, she immediately blushed, although she and Lin Ping'an are like family now, it is undeniable that she was bought by Lin Ping'an, so when she heard Liu Ru say this at this moment, she was immediately a little embarrassed.

She pulled Liu Ruis up as soon as she pulled it up, and said very affectionately: "It's all a family, what kind of slave and maid, you and I are sisters." ”

Lin Ping'an approached the flying bat and asked in a low voice, "Chu Bo, have you been waiting here early in the morning?" ”

The flying bat pursed his lips and said angrily: "That girl said that she would come, and she couldn't stop it, you kid will be able to bear it in the future." ”

Lin Ping'an was speechless for a while, looking at Ye Yunshu and Liu Ru who were holding hands, and suddenly felt a little unsteady in his heart.

Ye Yunshu didn't dare to say it, but Liu Ru was definitely an unconscious lord in the future.

"But what did I bring Liu Ru with me for?"

He only began to think about this question at this moment, but he couldn't find the answer for a while.

Sympathize? Admire?

Or maybe you fell in love with each other's beauty when they grew up?

Lin Ping'an said that he didn't know, he watched the two women get into the carriage hand in hand, and was stunned on the spot for a while.
