Gu Xuan saw Lin Rufei's shocked expression, and also realized that he seemed to have misunderstood what he meant, and quickly said: "It's not what you think - I mean, it was planted by me, you can eat it. "
Lin Rufei looked carefully, only to realize that the chirping little doll was a little ginseng tied with a red rope, but it had hands and feet, and was crying with her butt pouted on the table. No matter how you looked at it, it was no different from a human child. .
Gu Xuan was upset by the crying of the doll, and slapped the table and said angrily, "What are you crying for!" The little doll choked up and fell on the table and turned into a hard ginseng.
Lin Rufei's voice was still very weak: "My body is weak and can't be supplemented, and taking these great supplements is not very useful."
Gu Xuandu said, "This ginseng is different."
Lin Rufei said, "What's the difference?"
Gu Xuan thought for a while: "Special supplement!"
Lin Rufei couldn't help laughing. He said that the Lin family had used tonics ranging from 1,000 to 800 for his body, but after all those years, there was no effect, but it made him tired of these tonics. . I don't know where Gu Xuandu got the ginseng doll, and it was still alive and kicking, so he brought it to the dining table, wanting to feast on it.
Fortunately, Gu Xuandu was not obsessed with replenishing Lin Rufei's body. Seeing Lin Rufei's firm refusal, he sighed a pity, then pulled the ginseng doll's hair and threw it on the ground. The ginseng doll entered the ground when it saw it, but in the blink of an eye, it disappeared to the ground.
Lin Rufei burned for a day and a night, her bones were almost burnt, and she leaned limply on the head of the bed.
Fuhua Yurui, who had been waiting outside, heard the sound of him waking up, and then entered the room and fed the freshly boiled porridge to Lin Rufei's lips.
Lin Rufei had no appetite, so she was full after drinking two mouthfuls.
After Fu Hua softly persuaded her for a long time, Lin Ru Fei reluctantly drank another half bowl, and she didn't want to move the rest.
Helpless, Fu Hua had no choice but to put down the bowl in her hand, and said softly, "Master, the Meng family knows the news that we are coming to Xinzhou, and this morning they wanted to send someone to pick us up to the Meng residence... But you were still asleep, so we resigned. ."
"They knew I was coming?" Lin Rufei coughed a few times, "How did they know so quickly?"
"It seems to be because of the movement on the river..." Fu Hua said, "The Jiaolong is gone, and the forces of several parties will naturally inquire, but the Meng family moves faster. The inn at this wharf is simple, and you are sick, young master. Why don't we go first? The Meng family has handed in the invitation to the Sword Club, and then find a better inn in the city to recuperate?"
The Meng family is a big clan in Xinzhou and one of the invitation targets of the Kunlun Sword Club. Lin Rufei's Xuna ring contains an invitation from their clan.
There is some truth to what Fu Hua said. Lin Rufei doesn't know when her illness will heal. If she wants to wait for her illness to heal before going, I'm afraid she will have to hang the Meng family for ten and a half days.
So Lin Rufei agreed to Fu Hua's proposal and decided to go to Meng's house to hand in the invitation today.
He rested for another half an hour, barely had the strength to go to the ground, Fu Hua found a cloak, wrapped Lin Rufei tightly, and carefully tied Lin Rufei's waterfall-like black hair into a crown .
Lin Rufei sat in front of the mirror with her chin propped up while the two maids played with it, and almost fell asleep again.
It was finally finished, and the three masters and servants went out.
At this moment, the sun has set, and the city of Xinzhou is very lively.
It's a pity that Lin Rufei was dizzy, but she didn't have much thought to enjoy the scenery. Fu Hua bought a horse from a nearby post, and he sat on the horse and led by Fu Hua slowly into the city.
In this place, the character Meng is a common surname, and out of ten people, at least seven people with the surname Meng can be picked.
When they arrived at the door of Meng Mansion, Fu Hua went to call the door. Unexpectedly, the doorman opened the door, and before they introduced themselves, they were warmly welcomed by the well-prepared doorkeeper.
"This is Mr. Lin Rufei Lin! The master has heard that you have arrived in Xinzhou, and reminded the young man early." The gatekeeper was very enthusiastic, helped Lin Rufei off the horse, and called the maid again. Lead Lin Rufei into the main hall.
The maid's name was Zhuyin, she was very beautiful, and she was a bit more gorgeous than Fuhua and the others. She introduced Lin Rufei about the scenery of Meng's mansion with a smile on the way. It looked like she was from Meng's mansion. old man.
The styles of Meng Mansion and Xie Mansion are quite different. They are located in the plain area and close to the big lake. The pavilions and pavilions in the mansion are a little more beautiful. There is a stream running through the garden, and the garden has the charm of the south of the Yangtze River. As soon as Lin Rufei asked, she learned that the hostess of Meng Mansion was from Jiangnan. Because she missed her family, she arranged Meng Mansion to look like this.
Zhuyin probably also saw that Lin Rufei's physical condition was not very good, so she slowed down her walking speed very considerately, saying that the master had a feast in the garden at the back, and then you can see it through the corridor in front of you.
She was talking to Lin Rufei when there was a small wind blowing in the corridor, accompanied by the sound of fierce footsteps. Lin Rufei looked back and saw a short-haired boy in a strong suit and a long bow running quickly in front of him. This young man had bright eyebrows, star-like eyes, and was very energetic. His hair was not completely long, but was left behind. A long slender braid.
"Master, run slowly, don't startle the guests!" Zhuyin scolded coquettishly, saying it was scolding, but her tone was full of doting.
"Yo, who is this young master, and when did he enter the manor?" The young man whom Zhuyin called the young master approached Lin Rufei in a blink of an eye. He opened a pair of bright black eyes, like a curious little boy. The dog said, "He's really handsome! I wonder if Miss Xu?"
Lin Rufei said with a smile, "I haven't promised yet, is the young master going to introduce one to me?"
"Hey, I also have an unmarried older sister, she's so pretty." The young master giggled, "I think you are suitable for her, she likes weaker ones, and doesn't look down on those martial arts lunatics—"
"Young master, young master!" Zhuyin heard her own young master's nonsense, and immediately became anxious. This Lin family is a distinguished guest. How can they afford to provoke them? If they have a bad temper, the young master will make others anxious. Not being able to take care of the aftermath, he said anxiously, "This Young Master Lin is a distinguished guest. If you keep your mouth shut here, be careful Madam beats you!!"
"Tsk tsk tsk." When the young master heard this, he clicked a few times, and then ran away like a gust of wind. Before leaving, he did not forget to make an appointment with Lin Rufei, saying that his sister's matter was settled. He immediately brought it up with his parents and stomped his feet in annoyance.
"Young Master Lin, please don't take it to heart, the young master is the youngest son of the madam, he is the most beloved on weekdays, his character is naive and straightforward, and if his words are offensive," Zhuyin said, "don't take it to heart. ah."
Lin Rufei shook her head, indicating that there was no hindrance. His impression of this young master was not bad. He thought that his eldest brother and second brother would also like to spoil him like this, but he didn't succeed. This matter became their heart. Knot.
On both sides of the corridor are lush wisteria flowers, and there is a clear stream passing through it, and the carp and shrimp playing in the stream can be vaguely seen, but it has a unique charm.
The atmosphere of the entire Meng Mansion and Xie Mansion are very different, one is cold and quiet, the other is warm and lively, and the Meng Mansion is more like a home.
Zhuyin lifted the bamboo curtain hanging at the end of the corridor, leading Lin Rufei into another world.
In the garden, hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, and there are flowers in all seasons. Lin Rufei saw lotus flowers in full bloom on the lake. On the tree next to the lake, there was actually a splendid red plum tree, and the stamens of two different seasons complement each other. , very strange.
A few steps forward, they saw the family banquet set up by the Meng family. Beside the family banquet, the head of the Meng family and his family had been waiting for Lin Rufei for a long time. When they saw him coming with Zhuyin, they all stood up to greet him.
The name of the head of the Meng family is Meng Xiangxing. Although he is a hundred years old, his face is no different from that of a young man. It is to maintain the appearance of youth.
There were four people standing beside Meng Xiangxing, two men and two women, one of them should be his wife, the others were his children, and one of them was the heroic young man he met in the corridor just now.
Lin Rufei was watching them, and they were also looking at Lin Rufei. Although she had heard about the fourth son of the Lin family, it was better to see it after a hundred times. The appearance of the fourth son of the Lin family was really beautiful. If you say that ordinary people are sick, they will definitely It makes people feel a little sick, but the pale face on Lin Rufei's body only gave him the charm of a sick beauty, and the pair of black eyes slightly lighter than ordinary people, slightly curved to reveal a little A faint smile, thick eyelashes like a black butterfly with wings ready to fly, quite a bit sick as Xizi wins three points.
Lin Rufei has black hair in a crown, wearing a white robe made of dragon pattern brocade, a cloak of the same color, and a belt with a nephrite jade flowing cloud pattern around her waist. Although the decorations are few, it is extravagant and compelling. One can see that his identity is definitely not ordinary.
"Master, please come here!" The young master of the Meng family grinned as soon as he saw Lin Rufei, and greeted Lin Rufei warmly to sit next to him, but his mother glared at him for several times and refused to hold back until he was caught Cover your ears. Mrs. Meng gritted her teeth and whispered in her son's ear, "Young Master Lin is a distinguished guest. Who told you to speak up? You can't be foolish in normal times. At critical times, you are not allowed to be willful—"
Young Master Meng, who was grinning from his mother's grip, still did not give up. Although he stopped talking, he still winked at Lin Rufei. Lin Rufei also had a good impression of him, smiled, and actually sat beside him.
"Young Master Lin, the dog is stubborn—" Meng Xiangxing was about to persuade, but saw Lin Rufei wave his hand, indicating that it was okay, he smiled and said, "Uncle and my father are family friends, so there is no need to be so polite, your son is very interesting, I am very like."
"This..." Meng Xiangxing hesitated for a moment, but his son climbed up on the pole, grinning and holding up the wine glass, drank it at Lin Rufei, saying that it was a toast first.
Lin Rufei said that she was sick, so she replied with tea instead of wine.
With such a living treasure, the atmosphere at the dinner table was lively and harmonious. During the conversation, Lin Rufei learned that the Meng family had three sons in total, two boys and one girl, the eldest brother Meng Lanchao, the second sister Meng Youyue, and the youngest son Meng Lanchao. If, it is the lively young master in front of him.
Knowing that Lin Rufei's physical condition was not good, the food at this table was very light, which was very suitable for patients to eat.
Although Lin Rufei had a bad appetite, she still tried her best to eat some food, which gave the Meng family enough face.
When she was full of food and drink, Lin Rufei took out the invitation to the Sword Club from the Xuna ring and gave it to Meng Xiangxing.
Meng Xiangxing took the invitation, bowed to Lin Rufei, and asked him where he planned to go next.
Lin Rufei coughed a few times, and said that she planned to find an inn in Xinzhou City, and make plans after recovering from her illness.
When Meng Lanruo heard this, she immediately put her face in front of Lin Rufei and said excitedly, "If this is the case, Young Master Lin, why don't you live in Meng Mansion? I can guarantee that there is no inn with a better environment than Meng Mansion in this Xinzhou city. now-"
Lin Rufei was stunned for a moment, but before she could speak, Meng Lanruo snapped out the advantages of the Meng Mansion, such as soft beds, delicious food, and even the flowers in the yard were more beautiful than elsewhere. He spoke very fast, and after saying this, Lin Rufei didn't even have the time to interrupt, and finally Madam Meng hit him with a shudder and said angrily, "You speak for yourself, and don't look at other people's guests. His reaction—" He looked at Lin Rufei with a smile, and said, "Young Master Lin, he has always been like this, don't take it to heart."
Lin Rufei smiled and waved her hand to indicate that she was fine.
Meng Lanruo still didn't give up, she stretched out her hand and grabbed the corner of Lin Rufei's clothes, and said sarcastically, "Young Master Lin, you're leaving after a meal, and you're staying at an inn outside, so let others know, wouldn't you know? Blame our Meng family for their poor hospitality?" Then he mumbled again, saying that he was really boring by himself, and it was a pity to let an interesting playmate come and let it go...
Lin Rufei didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a while.
Meng Xiangxing said with a smile, "Why don't Young Master Lin stay at my Meng's house for a while?"
Lin Rufei was worried that Meng Fu wanted to refuse, but Meng Lanruo just wanted to put her face on his nose and looked at him pitifully with her black eyes. This Meng Lanruosheng's heroic spirit can be coquettish, but it is really powerful.
The Meng family couldn't help but smile when they saw Lin Rufei's embarrassed appearance in front of Meng Lanruo. Meng Xiangxing instructed Zhu Yin, who was standing beside him, to prepare a good room for Lin Rufei and his maids. room.
So the matter of living in the Meng family was settled.
She was full of food and drink, and it was getting late. Meng Lanruo wanted to drag Lin Rufei to chat again, but Mrs. Meng grabbed her by the ear. Mrs. Meng smiled apologetically at Lin Rufei and said. Young Master Lin is tired, rest well today, and talk about other things tomorrow. You can ask Zhuyin anything.
Meng Lanruo shouted at Lin Rufei, saying that she would come back to play with him tomorrow.
Lin Rufei smiled and nodded.
Zhuyin led the three of them to the room that had been prepared. The Meng family was very big. Walking through it, it was like walking through a maze. After turning left and right in the garden for a while, she saw a row of neat buildings. .
The building is born among lush flowers and plants, with a small bridge and a shallow stream beside it, and the environment is very good.
Zhuyin said that this is where the young master lives on weekdays, and everything is well-prepared. Today, it will be cleaned up so that Young Master Lin will not be restrained, just like at home.
Lin Rufei nodded in thanks, and took out some pieces of gold from her sleeves to reward Zhuyin, but Zhuyin refused with a smile. She said that she was the big girl by Meng Lanruo's side, a girl like her. There are four or five, how dare to accept the guests' things.
Lin Rufei did not reluctantly see this.
After sending Lin Rufei into the house, Zhuyin withdrew and said that she was waiting outside, and if there was anything, she would call. Lin Rufei was alone.
Gu Xuandu has been missing since Lin Rufei entered Meng's house, until now he appeared beside Lin Rufei again, took a sip from the teacup, and said, "That little son of the Meng family is a little interesting. ."
Lin Rufei raised her eyebrows: "Interesting?"
Gu Xuan nodded.
"What's interesting?" Lin Rufei asked.
"The brothers in your family probably want to spoil you like his innocent appearance." Gu Xuandu's slender fingers hooked the edge of the cup, "But..."
Lin Rufei raised her eyebrows: "But what."
Gu Xuandu smiled and said, "But I like you like this too."
Lin Rufei smiled, but she was already accustomed to this senior's eloquence.
Because she was still ill, Lin Rufei quickly became tired, and after drinking another dose of medicine, she went to bed to rest. Just before going to bed, he was in a daze and smelled a strange flower fragrance. He had never smelled this flower and didn't know what it was. The smell was fresh and elegant, but it wasn't too annoying.
"What's the smell?" Lin Rufei asked sleepily.
"It's unicorn grass." Gu Xuandu replied vaguely.
Kirin grass? He remembered that the grass seemed to have a calming effect... Lin Rufei let out a dazed sound and fell into a sweet sleep.
Lin Rufei slept very well that night. He didn't even have a strange dream. By the next morning, his low fever had subsided and his spirit was much better.
After breakfast, Lin Rufei was debating whether to drink another dose of medicine when Meng Lanruo's voice came from outside the door. He ignored Zhuyin's obstruction and rushed in, seeing Lin Rufei sitting at the table. Looking at the medicine and worrying, he couldn't help but smile: "Lin Gongzi, the weather is so good today, do you want to go out with me? A few good horses have just arrived at my horse farm, they are very beautiful!"
Lin Rufei looked out of the house. Today is indeed a good day. Even though it was early in the morning, the brilliant sunshine had already emerged and sprinkled in the lush garden, gilding the stamens with golden new clothes.
"Young Master Meng..." Lin Rufei just opened her mouth when Meng Lanruo interrupted her. He grinned and said, "Young Master Lin, don't be so polite, just call me Lanruo! I'll tell you, that horse farm. It’s not just horses that are beautiful, there are other things too…”
"What else?" Lin Rufei asked.
"You'll know when you see it! I promise you won't be disappointed!" Meng Lanruo patted her chest and said.
Lin Rufei thought about it for a while, but agreed. After all, Meng Lanruo was so enthusiastic, it was a pity that his interest was dampened. Besides, the weather outside was not bad, so it was not a bad thing to go out for a walk.
As soon as he responded, Meng Lanruo grabbed his shoulders and pulled him out of the room.
The scenery of Meng Mansion during the day and Meng Mansion at night has its own flavor. When you look at it during the day, you can see flowers everywhere, so lively and lively.
The horse farm in Meng Lanruo's mouth is also in Meng's mansion. It seems to be a separate place, which looks very wide.
As soon as Lin Rufei arrived at the racecourse, she understood what Meng Lanruo was referring to as a beautiful thing. On the racecourse, several young girls in strong suits were playing polo furiously, with their skirts flying. Really a wonderful sight.
Among them, the most striking one is Meng Lanruo's sister, Meng Youyue, whom she saw at the family banquet yesterday. She holds a long pole and controls the horse under her with ease. look.
Meng Lanruo waved at the people in the field and shouted, "Sister—"
Meng Youyue turned her horse's head and hurried towards this side, until she reached in front of them, she let out a long "snort" and said with a smile, "Lan Ruo, why did you bring Young Master Lin here."
"Didn't I just watch Young Master Lin idle in the house and let him come out and walk around?" Meng Lanruo said, "There are only a few good horses coming to the racecourse, so I thought of asking Young Master Lin to come and see. Look."
"Is that so?" Meng Youyue smiled.
The two brothers and sisters were talking, but a discordant voice was inserted beside him: "Meng Lanruo, I haven't seen you for a few days. When did such a handsome nobleman come to your family?"
Lin Rufei turned her head away, but saw the owner of the voice. The man was dressed in fancy clothes. Although he was handsome, he had an air of arrogance. Although he looked at Lin Rufei with a smile, his eyes were deep. The hidden hostility was still caught by Lin Rufei.
"It's none of your business." Meng Lanruo shouted unhesitatingly, "Qi Yansheng, go away quickly, don't spoil my mood."
Qi Yansheng smiled and said, "Oh? That's right, I also said that I asked for a longbow made of ten thousand year ebony from Qiushan the day before yesterday, and I wanted to show it to you. Since you're not happy, then forget it."
"Hey—a longbow made of ten thousand years of ebony?" Meng Lanruo was immediately aroused, her eyes lit up, "Hurry up and give it to me!"
Qi Yansheng said, "It's not here, it's on the shooting range."
"Then let's go to the shooting range??" Meng Lanruo's hands were itchy, but then she remembered that Lin Rufei, who seemed not to be able to shoot arrows, was next to her, and immediately shook her head, "If you don't go, you won't go, I'm still I'll accompany Young Master Lin, and I'll ask you for a look in a few days."
"I don't know who this Young Master Lin is...?" Qi Yansheng asked.
"Young Master Lin is the son of the Kunlun Lin family. The person who happened to come to my house to deliver sword stickers these few days is different from you. He is a distinguished guest!" Meng Lanruo said, "Don't say anything disgusting, Master Lin. , This is a friend I don't know very well, his name is Qi Yansheng, others hate him, and what he says is disgusting, you don't need to pay attention."
Qi Yansheng didn't get angry when Meng Lanruo said this, instead he laughed and bowed to Lin Rufei: "I have long admired the name of the Kunlun Lin family, and when I saw you today, the gentleman's demeanor is really impressive."
Lin Rufei returned the salute and said, "Mumbai."
"I wonder if your son is interested in seeing that longbow?" Qi Yansheng smiled and said, "Lin son may not know, the Meng family's bows are really beautiful, and there is nothing to do now, why don't you let Meng Lanruo show you a hand? ?"
It was obvious that he was smiling, and there was nothing wrong with what he said, but Lin Rufei could sense the provocation in Qi Yansheng's tone. How's your son's shooting skills?"
Qi Yansheng said proudly: "There is no match in Xinzhou."
Lin Rufei said calmly, "Then it's okay to take a look."
He wanted to know what this Qi Yansheng wanted to do.
The author has something to say: Gu Xuan is shameless: I know there is something special to make up for.
Lin Rufei: What
Gu Xuandu continued to be shameless: eat to ensure that the disease will be cured.
Lin Rufei: Just talk when you talk, what are you doing to untie the belt—
