Xu Wei was in a very high spirits today, talking to the eldest lady and Lin Wanrong, drinking some fine wine, playing the harp and singing some erotic lyrics with the white-haired confidante Su Qinglian. appearance.
Xu Zhiqing was different from the two of them, she hid in the room early to study the calculation method of Arabic numerals she had just learned, and asked Lin Wanrong several questions, but it became more and more difficult and profound.
Lin Wanrong was shocked, but also a little more admired. With such a studious and hard-working woman taking the lead, this mathematical foundation should be able to spread to all parts of Dahua soon.
Xu Zhiqing is an extremely generous woman, she is very natural when getting along with him, without the slightest tweaking. Under Lin Wanrong's itch, he wanted to talk to her a few off-topic words, but she dismissed them lightly, as if he had no interest in anything other than learning.
The three members of Lao Xu's family stayed here until the evening before leaving in a bitter mood. Lin Wanrong let out a long breath when he saw those small sedan chairs going far away, and said, "This old man, he is gone."
The eldest lady smiled and glanced at him: "Look at what you said, a big man like Mr. Xu can't be invited by others, but you seem to have met the plague god."
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "It's not that I'm annoying Old Xu, it's just that his lady doesn't talk very actively to me, so I'm a bit annoyed."
The eldest lady laughed and said: "Look at what you are pestering sister Xu to ask, what comes first, the egg or the chicken, the egg is the fertilized egg, and the chicken is the egg that is fertilized. How can a boar grow fast? Phew. What a mess—"
Lin Wanrong didn't even blush and said, "It's all scientific knowledge, if you don't understand, just ask me, why don't you ask?"
The eldest lady smiled and said: "If you ask me what you are doing, ask me to tell you. If I ask you, I will be fooled by you. Don't treat others as fools. Besides, sister Xu has this kind of temperament. With her knowledge, it is really difficult to find someone in the world who makes her stand up to her."
Depend on. I don't believe it, after today's incident, she still dares to squint at me? Don't take the third brother as an improper cadre!
After talking for a while, the eldest lady suddenly grabbed him gently and said, "Lin San, I ask you something, and you must answer me honestly—when in Jinling, Mr. Xu said that he asked you to help him with his affairs, so he asked you to help him." Did you join the army to destroy the White Lotus Sect?"
Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "Why are you asking about this again? I really went to work that day. I wasn't lazy."
The eldest lady's eyes were reddish. He punched him and said, "I hate it, whoever is joking with you wants you to tell the truth."
This matter is over. There is no need to lie to her, Lin Wanrong nodded and smiled and said: "Yes, that old man Xu dragged me to fight, and almost lost my life. If Xian'er hadn't saved me, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you now. But , At least let those bastards of the Bailian Sect who bullied us finish their game,—Hey, miss, why are you crying?"
Xiao Yuruo hurriedly wiped away tears and said, "I was waiting for you outside the city that day, was it after you were injured?"
Lin Wanrong nodded and said: "Well, the injury didn't heal that day, but because I promised Miss Luo to go back to participate in the poetry competition, I had no choice but to rush back overnight."
"It's all hurt like that, but you still miss her?" The eldest lady said in pain and anger: "Are you not even wanting your life because of her?"
Seeing that the eldest lady was tearing more and more, and she had a tendency to be unstoppable, Lin Wanrong said anxiously: "What's the matter, how can I talk about that day's events in a good way? Isn't it better for me? It was stronger before, if you don’t believe it, try holding it.”
The eldest lady bit her lips desperately, looked at him with tears in her eyes, and said softly: "Do you hate me? How did I treat you that day?" She burst into tears and said, "I know, you must hate me." , when you were so seriously injured, I turned you away. But I really don’t know. I hoped to see you in those days, so I went outside the city every night to wait. Finally saw you come back, I was happy in my heart, but I saw that you brought two girls, I, I was so annoyed that I didn’t know anything, so I—if I say it, I blame you, dead man, who made you so philandering—let it be your own fault!”
Khan, it turned out to be because of this. The jealous woman is indeed mentally handicapped, but it's meaningless not to be jealous. He laughed and said, "How can I blame you. You don't know. You shut me out that day, and Xian'er treated me well. I kept eating ginseng and bird's nest every day, and I slept with someone at night. I was happy and carefree." immortal."
The eldest lady blushed, and snorted softly: "Ginseng and bird's nest, we have a lot of them at home, how much do you want? If you want to sleep with me, bah, you don't have any good intentions in your heart, and you want to bully me. Make some excuses, do you think she is such a casual woman?"
Lin Wanrong knew Xiao Yuruo's temperament very well. This girl is typically hard-spoken and soft-hearted. As long as she works hard, she is guaranteed to be as soft as a ball of cotton. He smiled and said: "Let's not talk about these things, I saw that when Sister Su and Miss Xu left today, you seemed to have given them something again, what was it, and you still kept it from me and Old Xu ?”
The eldest lady blushed and said, "What do you ask these for, I just won't tell you."
Lin Wanrong laughed: "Isn't it just a few pieces of underwear that are so mysteriously used?"
The eldest lady was surprised and said: "How do you know? Could it be that you are hiding somewhere to peek? You dead man—"
Lin Wanrong grabbed her little hand with a smile and said, "I don't even need to think about it. I can see what you are going to give just by looking at you guys sneaking around. Miss Xu has a good figure, and The eldest lady is a bit of a fight, but sister Su doesn't know what she looks like in this underwear, tsk tsk, it's cheap for Lao Xu, and I'm going to sing a spring river flower and moon night tonight."
Hearing his flirtatious words, the eldest lady was already so ashamed to teach him with her small fists, Lin Wanrong was laughing and laughing, and the two of them got into a mess. While the young miss was overjoyed, she threw herself into his arms all of a sudden, and began to cry, feeling extremely complicated. Can't tell if it's bitter or sweet.
"Third Brother, Third Brother—" The two were passionate. But when she heard a shout from outside, Huan'er ran into the inner courtyard panting, saw the two people huddled together, she screamed in fright, turned her head away hastily, and whispered: "I don't have anything. See, I didn't see anything."
Lin Wanrong put on a fierce expression on his face and said: "I really didn't see anything? What I'm good at is killing and silence. Tell me. Do you choose to rape first and then kill, or kill first and then rape? Or kill and rape at the same time?" ?”
Huan'er's face was flushed, but she burst out laughing and said, "Third brother won't, third brother is a good person. I'm not afraid—"
Khan, I am so unsuccessful in being a bad guy? The eldest lady pinched his waist with a blushing face, and said angrily, "You will talk nonsense. Huan'er, what happened?"
Huan'er relieved her nervousness and said, "Miss, has someone delivered a letter to Third Brother?"
"Send me a letter?" Lin Wanrong wondered, "I don't seem to have any acquaintances in Beijing."
Xiao Yuruo snorted softly: "Who knows, you do a lot of things in private."
While she was speaking, she first took a letter from Huan'er. The letter paper was very thin, and there was a faint fragrance when it was touched, as if it was written by a woman. The eldest lady glanced at him with a half-smile. Lin Wanrong laughed dryly twice. I was puzzled in my heart, there were only a few people I knew in Beijing, who sent this place? Fairy? Sister Ann
Xiao Yuruo took the envelope without opening it. Handed it to his hand and said: "Look quickly, don't delay your business."
Lin Wanrong opened the envelope, glanced at it lightly, his face changed suddenly, and he said in surprise: "Qingxuan—"
Xiao Qingxuan was not only the savior of the two, but also the wife of Lin Sanjie. The eldest lady hurriedly looked at the letter, and saw only a few words on it: "If you want to hear about Qingxuan, Hualin in the north of the city knows. Hurry up!"
Lin Wanrong was extremely excited, he held onto Huan'er's little hand tightly and said, "Huan'er, where is the person, where is the messenger?"
Huan'er's little hand hurt from being grabbed by him, Xiu's face was flushed, and she glanced at the eldest lady as if she was in a hurry to ask for help. Xiao Yuruo hurriedly grabbed his hand and said, "Don't panic, listen to Huan'er speak slowly, let go quickly."
Lin Wanrong looked anxious, let go of Huan'er's hand and said, "What about the messenger?"
Huan'er shook her head and said: "I don't know. Just now after Mr. Xu left, I was helping in the store. I suddenly felt a little dizzy. I was awake after a while, but there was this letter on the table. It was clearly stated that it was personally signed by the third brother, so I hurriedly sent it."
Lin Wanrong frowned, so Huan'er didn't even see who the messenger was? Damn, who is so wicked, who doesn't even show his face when delivering letters, don't you know I'm in a hurry
The eldest lady understood his mood and comforted him: "Don't panic, read this letter first, is this Miss Qingxuan's handwriting?"
When Lin Wanrong and Xiao Qingxuan stayed in Jinling, they chatted and laughed every night. They had already been familiar with her silent treasure, and shook their heads and said, "This is not Qingxuan's handwriting, but this painting is mellow and smooth, and it is written by a woman."
The eldest lady nodded and said: "The meaning of this letter is that if you want to know about Miss Xiao, you have to go to the birch forest in the north of the city. Huan'er, is there a birch forest in the north of the city?"
Huan'er nodded and said, "Yes, there is a huge birch forest tens of miles away from here."
Lin Wanrong heard the words, stuffed the signed letter into his clothes, and rushed out. The eldest lady hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Where are you going?"
"Where else can I go? Of course I'm going to the north of the city." Lin Wanrong said anxiously.
The eldest lady sighed: "This letter has no beginning and no end, neither title nor signature. If someone sends you a letter under the name of Qingxuan and takes the opportunity to harm you, what should you do? What should you do when it comes to Qingxuan? The usual cleverness and wisdom are all gone? Could it be that Miss Xiao really has such great magic power?"
Lin Wanrong shook his head firmly and said: "There is no other choice. Qingxuan is my wife. For her, even if it is a sea of swords and swords, I will go."
"You—" Seeing his stubbornness, the eldest lady snorted anxiously and angrily, "It's not that I won't let you go, but I just want you to make careful arrangements and make sure nothing goes wrong before you go."
Lin Wanrong smiled wryly and said: "I'm afraid it's too late. The letter says to arrive quickly. If I go late and miss the opportunity, then I will regret it for the rest of my life. Miss, you are waiting for me at home."
As soon as he finished speaking, without hesitation, he rushed out the door in a few steps, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.
"Go, go, don't come back after you've gone!" The eldest lady stomped her feet fiercely, and cried, "You ignorant evil spirit."
Seeing the young miss arguing with the third brother, Huan'er obediently stood at a distance, not daring to move.
The eldest lady wept for a while, then suddenly turned around and entered the room, tied her cloak tightly, lifted her little feet and was about to go out. Huan'er was startled, and hurriedly stopped her and said, "Miss, what are you doing?"
Xiao Yuruo sighed slightly: "The dead man is stubborn, I don't follow him to have a look, so I can't rest assured."
Huan'er anxiously said: "Miss, it's already dark now, and it's not easy to go to Chengbei Road. There were bandits and robbers a while ago, how can you go?"
The eldest lady gritted her teeth and said, "If you don't want to go, you have to go. If I die, you tell that scoundrel that I hate him forever."
The eldest lady rushed out in a hurry, but Huan'er was in a daze, what happened to the third brother and the eldest lady? For a while it was like falling into honey, and for a while it became an enemy of vindictiveness, which is really incomprehensible.
***********************
Hualin in the north of the city is about ten miles away from Xiao's shop. The terrain along the way is rough and difficult to walk. Lin Wanrong was in a hurry, and it took only half an hour to arrive there.
This piece of birch forest covers a very large area, probably as many as tens of mu. The birch trees have thick roots and strong branches, and the old leaves on the branches have fallen, and the new leaves have not yet grown. The branches stretch out in the air, like thin claws opened. The cold wind in early spring whimpered, making the branches rattle, making the forest extremely lonely.
Lin Wanrong walked to the edge of the forest, only to see the surrounding area was empty, and there was no one to be seen. She was puzzled, and couldn't help but let go of her throat and shouted loudly: "Qingxuan, Qingxuan, where are you—"
He shouted several times, the forest was silent, no one answered, and the person who invited him here was nowhere to be seen. The dense forest was dark and gloomy, but he didn't care about it. He looked around inside and out, but still found nothing.
"Who invited me, Mr. Lin, here, please come out and talk." He shouted loudly, becoming more and more anxious. There was still no movement, he was unwilling to wait, and was about to shout again, when he heard a soft female voice: "Your name is Lin Wanrong?"
The voice was sweet and gentle, like the sound of nature, slowly coming from behind him. Lin Wanrong turned around, and saw a beautiful figure standing on the top of the tree. She was dressed in white, with a long skirt and her hair was drooping. A pure white scarf was covering her face.
