Chapter 49: Farewell Gifts
It was dark in the room, except for the moonlight in front of the window.
The man who returned from the night pushed the door open and walked towards the desk in the dark room.
A candle flame suddenly lit up, and the bright yellow candlelight opened up a world.
Under the lamp, people return at night without thinking, just pick up the pen and write, and wave it.
The pen stops, the word becomes the word, and the light goes out.
The wind fills the darkroom.
————
Early in the morning, the morning sun rises.
Zhao Rong got up early, completed the daily morning exercise and morning class, and after eating the breakfast sent by the next person, he packed up his things, then picked up the bookcase, tied the sword around his waist, and strode out.
As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he suddenly stopped, glanced at the desk in the room, and turned away.
On the desk, there was a carefully folded piece of poetry lying quietly, a few wisps of breeze lingering, but the poetry paper did not move.
Zhao Rong came to the outside of Su Xiaoxiao's courtyard, shouted a few times, and waited, and after about a quarter of an hour, Su Xiaoxiao carried her small bookcase on her back and jumped out of the door happily.
Zhao Rong pursed his lips, turned his head and left.
Seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly followed. "Wait for me, wait for me. ”
Zhao Rong didn't look back. "Why are you so slow, every time you say five minutes, the result is more than a quarter of an hour. ”
Su Xiaoxiao said confidently: "Don't you do the same, every time you coax me to say that I can have half an hour, but it will be over in less than five minutes." ”
"My son wants to practice peerless magic skills, how can there be so much kung fu to fool around with you, a stupid girl who doesn't have the same hair?"
Su Xiaoxiao walked a few steps briskly, looked at Zhao Rong's side face, pulled the corner of Zhao Rong's clothes, and said in a hopeful tone. "Hmm, Zhao Rong, will you do it longer next time?"
Zhao Rong grimaced. "Su Xiaoxiao, you are too greedy!"
The corners of his clothes were ripped again.
Zhao Rong turned his head to look at it, it was the little fox demon's expectant eyes, but then he remembered something, and said angrily: "Look at my mood, every time you make trouble halfway, can't you cooperate with me?" I'm very busy, I have to hurry during the day, and I have to practice in my free time, but I have to find time to serve your aunt and grandmother at night, and you still make trouble...... In other words, how do I know if the child born to Ying Ning and the prince is a human or a demon?"
There was a pause. "Can't you be a half-demon?"
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously: "There are no half-demons." ”
Zhao Rong nodded. What Su Huxian said was extremely true. Then you can talk about it. ”
The little fox demon who loves to listen to the stories of the fox fairy scholar panicked instantly, hurriedly coaxed Zhao Rong, and finally signed a series of treaties that humiliated the country in shame.
Zhao Rong nodded with satisfaction.
The two walked on the winding corridor in the house with the bookcase on their backs for a while, a little lost, Zhao Rong called a Lin subordinate to help them lead the way, and after a while, they arrived at a quiet and elegant house, Su Xiaoxiao stayed outside and waited, and Zhao Rong followed the subordinates in.
In the house, in a low-luxury and elegant room, Lin Wenruo was sitting on a chair with his waist straight and reading a book, wearing only a white undershirt, and a pretty maid behind him was helping him tie his hair, but just halfway through, a slave came to the door, bowed his head and reported a few times.
The maid who was helping the old man tie his hair was surprised to see that the old man, who was originally sitting on the chair and reading seriously, immediately raised his head and got up, threw the scroll in his hand on the table at will, and strode out of the door.
Lin Wenruo, who was wearing only a single coat with his hair draped, walked quickly to the living room, stood outside the threshold and looked in, Zhao Rong, who was carrying the book box, was looking up at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall with his back to him. Lin Wenruo looked back at the door of the house again, Su Xiaoxiao was holding a small bookcase and circling around a fruit tree.
A flash of disappointment flashed in Lin Wenruo's eyes, he sighed lightly, and then showed a natural smile and walked into the hall.
"Ziyu is here. ”
Zhao Rong turned his head and couldn't help but smile when he saw the person dressed like this. "Am I coming at the wrong time to disturb Wen Ruo and the beautiful woman's dream?"
Lin Wenruo raised his eyebrows. "Alas, a few of them are so clingy, they were originally going to get up early, but they were dragged to the present. Well, Ziyu should also experience this kind of trouble, right?"
After speaking, he looked at Zhao Rong with a sincere face.
Zhao Rong didn't answer his words, frowned and said solemnly: "Wen Ruo, my generation of Confucian scholars should focus on business, how can I immerse myself in gentleness, this is what you told me last night!"
Zhao Rong said righteously: "No, I have to save you." Wen Ruo, you go and pick a few of the most clingy ones to come out, I'll help you take them away, and you can't let them stay with you anymore to harm you. ”
Lin Wenruo nodded: "What Ziyu taught me is that I am indeed a little slack, but Ziyu is a person who does great things, and I can't let them harm Ziyu, I'd better go back at night and teach them a good lesson." ”
The two people in the hall, one was sincere to others, and the other was awe-inspiring and upright, and they looked at each other for a while, Lin Wenruo couldn't help but take the lead in breaking the gong, and the two laughed one after another.
Lin Wenruo looked Zhao Rong up and down. "Is Ziyu here to say goodbye to me?"
Then he smiled. "Ziyu, please wait a minute, I have prepared a little farewell gift for you. ”
After saying that, he clapped his hands.
As soon as Zhao Rong was about to speak, he saw Shi Shiran outside the door and eight maids in skirts came in.
In the hand, or in the tray, or in the hand, or in the hand.
Lined up in a row and stood in front of the two.
Zhao Rong raised his eyebrows.
Lin Wenruo stepped forward.
The tray in the hands of the first maid had a small smoker and a black embroidered bag.
Lin Wenruo picked up the embroidered bag and handed it to Zhao Rong with a smile.
Zhao Rong took it curiously, pulled the rope, and suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, with a deep milky fragrance, but with a refreshing coolness, the qi and blood in the body began to surge uncontrollably, as if a hungry shark smelled the most delicious blood.
Upon closer inspection, inside the bag was a pile of brownish-red sawdust.
This reminded him of the incense that Lin Wenruo lit in the carriage yesterday, but the bag of spices in his hand had not been lit at the moment, just smelling it directly was better than the incense after it was lit yesterday.
Zhao Rong took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and then looked up at Lin Wenruo.
"Ziyu, Zhongnan is rich in all kinds of spiritual things. The bag of spices in your hand is one of the best in agarwood, called Qi Nan, extremely rare, and I don't know the specific price, because our Lanxi Lin family never sells this thing, only for the children of the family for their own use. ”
"Qi Nan fragrance can help people ignite blood and impact the meridians, which is one of the top aids in the Ascending Heaven Realm to clear the void and vibrate the clothes period, but generally we will not waste it in the clear void period, but use it to break through the Great Zhou Tian and enter the Fuyao Realm during the vibrating period. ”
Lin Wenruo said with a smile: "Yesterday in the carriage, I saw that Ziyu liked incense, and later I saw that Ziyu was practicing hard, so I remembered this thing. This small bag is all the inventory in the family's treasure house, which should be enough for Ziyu to break through from the Zhenyi period to the Fuyao realm. ”
"However, I Guan Ziyu is still in the Jinshi Period, if you want to use this thing, you must use the Qingxu Period, and the Jinshi Period has entered the Qingxu Period, to find a breath of innate vitality, I can't do anything, I can only rely on Ziyu himself, and it is difficult for foreign objects to help. ”
After speaking, Lin Wenruo walked up to the second maid and picked up a rosewood box from the tray.
Lin Wenruo turned to face Zhao Rong and opened the wooden box, which was covered with a purple handkerchief, and he gently lifted the handkerchief, revealing a strange stone the size of a baby's fist with a smooth surface.
The strange stone is pale green throughout, and there seems to be a dark green liquid flowing inside, wandering erratically, like a living thing.
"Zhongnan is rich in Lantian jade, and the jade in the box comes from a thousand-year-old pit in the depths of Zhongnan Mountain, which is the best in Lantian jade, and has reached the grade of spiritual jade. ”
Lin Wenruo walked to the window and placed it in the sunlight, and after three breaths, green smoke rose above the Lantian Lingyu, ethereal in the hall.
"I heard that Ziyu is going to Linlu Academy. Scholars and scholars all need to wear jade, and this piece of spiritual jade seed material can be used to polish into a new jade pendant or as an advanced material for an existing jade pendant. ”
Lin Wenruo smiled lightly. "When I was studying at Siqi Academy, many of my classmates asked me to buy the final South American jade, but I didn't sell it, but only gave a few pieces to my close friends. ”
Lin Wenruo handed the Lantian Lingyu to Zhao Rong, who was speechless, and winked at him. "Ziyu has this piece of jade, but you have to give me a good reputation in Linlu Academy. ”
Zhao Rong glanced at him, took the Lantian Lingyu, and bowed his head to enjoy the play. He is also a jade lover, and he can't help but love it when he sees it.
Seeing this, Lin Wenruo turned around and went to the other maids.
"Ziyu, the name of this guqin is Mingyu, the sound of the piano comes with the crisp jingle of jade collision, I saw that you liked this thing last night, you have to practice the piano after sending it to you, but don't be as chaotic as last night. ”
"Ziyu, I heard that you are going to the big desecration in the east, and you plan to go down to Duyou City by boat, I happened to ......"
"Ziyu, this ivory paper cutter ......"
"Ziyu, this blue and white pen washes ......"
"Ziyu, these two rare books ......"
A man with a draped hair wearing only a shirt walked around the hall to give gifts to his parting friends.
Zhao Rong listened quietly and did not make a sound.
After a while, it seemed that everything that should have been said had been said, Lin Wenruo sighed and came to the last maid.
On the last tray, there were no treasures, but simply two glasses of wine.
Lin Wenruo apologized and picked up a glass of wine. "Qingchi has something important to do in the morning, so I can't see off Brother Ziyu, so I can only have a parting wine here, and I hope Ziyu won't blame him. ”
After speaking, he picked up the wine glass and signaled to Zhao Rong.
Zhao Rong glanced at the man in front of him, and then turned his head to look at the gifts on the tray.
Although it is certain that these gifts are not the most valuable treasures treasured by the Lanxi Lin clan.
But.
They are definitely the most important parting gifts for Zhao Rong.
Zhao Rong smiled slightly, and in the eyes of everyone, picked up the remaining wine glass.
Seeing this, Lin Wenruo raised his wine glass and prepared to drink it all.
After drinking this glass of wine and sending Zhao Rong away, he will begin to prepare for the Confucianism and Taoism debate ten days later.
Suddenly, something unexpected happened in the hall.
I saw Zhao Rong pour the wine in his hand sideways in front of him and spill it all on the ground.
Lin Wenruo was stunned.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Rong put the Qi Nan spice and Lantian Lingyu in his hand back to their original places, and reached out to push away all the trays in front of him.
"Wen Ruo, I don't want these things. ”
Lin Wenruo frowned, and just as he wanted to speak, Zhao Rong's words had already come slowly.
"Who told you I was leaving?"
Lin Wenruo blinked, glanced at Zhao Rong's bookcase, and then looked sideways at Su Xiaoxiao, who was jumping and picking fruit with a small bookcase under a fruit tree.
Zhao Rong raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't I promise Su Xiaoxiao to accompany her to the city to go shopping today, and come and say hello to you." ”
