Chapter 34(1/2)
Su Mei was going to Jingming Temple, and Zikui took her little maid and her mother to clean up again.
Fortunately, I picked up a box of clothes before, and now I packed the daily necessities I wanted to use. I didn’t take much time, so the group arrived at the place before noon.
Jingming Temple is not very famous in the capital, and it is not as good as other large temples with great incense. However, it is worse than this purity that is far away from the vulgarity and is most suitable for relaxation and cultivation.
Lin Yian first went to the temple to arrange the residence where he stayed. He specially chose the two separate courtyards in the back mountain. When she came over, the steaming meal was delivered to the table in the room, which was thoughtful and appropriate.
Zi Kui helped her clean her hands, looking at the meat dishes on the table, her eyes were filled with smiles: "The third master was careful and did not let us live in the living courtyard inside. The temple was abstaining from meat dishes, but the back mountain was out of the range. The Bodhisattva would not blame him and did not have to observe the precepts. Moreover, I have inquired about it. This place was originally for scholars who went to Beijing to take the exam. It was very clean and the girls lived with peace of mind. There was also a small kitchen at the back of the yard. Although today's dishes were ready-made from outside, we can make whatever the girls wanted to eat in the future."
Wu Zisen was so hungry that she sat down and ate her meal. He nodded and agreed after hearing this: "Zi Kui's words are true, Lin San is meant."
I don’t know if I’m awake or not, I actually helped my love rival speak.
Su Mei didn't say a word, wiped her hands and sat down. She looked at the dishes on her head and found that most of them were her favorite food.
He really put his heart into it.
She felt a little sweet in her heart, and she was still holding her face, and she was eating silently.
——I still can’t forgive him for leaving himself easily.
Su Mei had used food and was tired all the way. She was angry and stayed up all night last night. Now she couldn't hold on and fell asleep with the quilt on the run-in bed.
Seeing her rest, Wu Zisen went back to the next door.
I had no conditions before in the Lin family and could not leave my cousin. Now that I have come out, I should avoid suspicion. Moreover, it is always inconvenient for a big man to live in the yard of a girl’s house.
Shi Tou was applying medicine to Lin Yi. Wu Zisen ran over, looked at his back, and said with a tsk: "San Master, you are so thin and tender, you don't look like a man."
Lin Yian was suddenly deposed and laughed without being angry: "Is the prince just looking at the back of a man?"
This made Wu Zisen raise his eyebrows and look at him up and down: "Anyway, I'm not strong, I'm like a girl. There are so many girls who like to be strong."
He came in and asked, Lin Yian thought for a moment, probably understanding why, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing that he couldn't pick on his temper, Wu Zisen felt like he was hitting the cotton with one punch. Instead, he was unhappy. He turned around and sat down on the chair next to him and said quietly: "Lin San, there are always things that come first and then come, but I won't tell you this. You have planned a lot for your cousin, which shows your sincerity, so we all rely on our abilities. But you can't take advantage of your cousin's unconsciousness now. If you ask me to know, you really can't be a man!"
Lin Yian listened to his heart-to-heart words and smiled warmly: "Don't worry, Prince Wu, I have made three rules with Prince Su. Although Lin has selfish intentions, he will never be a traitor."
With his promise, Wu Zisen felt a little more comfortable and left him to settle in the next room.
After he left, Lin Yian fell into deep thought and asked Shi Tou to find a bronze mirror.
The stone was unclear, so he held up the mirror and moved east and west according to his request, and didn't know what he was looking at.
Lin Yian was wondering in his heart when he looked at his fair skin and well-proportioned limbs in the bronze mirror.
Do girls really don’t like this body?
He doesn't look powerful like Kong Wu, but he is not as weak as an ordinary scholar. After all, he is from a military general family and has practiced boxing and foot skills since childhood. However, compared with Wu Zisen's general who fights hard... his figure is not as tall and mighty as the other party.
The first time in his life he had doubts about his appearance and figure.
Once a person has some unconfident thoughts, he will be distressed before he can get affirmation. Lin Yian thought about it for a long time, and the uncertainty was really torment, so he let Shi Tou carry himself to the next yard to see Su Mei.
The little girl was angry with him, so he couldn't just hide and hide. She should always let her calm down, and she would suffer if she wanted to beat or scold her.
It was the time when the sun sets in the west. The temperature in the mountains was not as good as the unblocked city. The wind blew the doors and windows, bringing a cool feeling.
Su Mei sat by the window and enjoyed the mountain view in the distance. She was so blown that she sneezes. She just took out a veil to cover her nose when she saw Lin Yian coming over.
She blinked and closed the window with a snap.
Lin Yian ate a "closing the window soup" and smiled bitterly, asking Shi Tou to carry himself under the window. Zi Kui kindly handed a chair out, but he didn't let him sit on the ground.
He leaned against the window and looked up at the sky dyed red by the glow, trying to make her show her face: "Miss Three, the scenery when the sun sets in the mountains is different from that in the capital. Even the leaves are dyed in color, and sometimes they present a colorful halo. Don't you take a look?"
The people in the room did not answer. He smiled and continued, "When I was in the Duke's Mansion, I would help my father with some common affairs from time to time. Sometimes I had to leave Beijing for one or two months. When I returned, I like to stay in Jingming Temple for a few days. Especially when I was setting sun, I would like to sit by the small pond behind me and fish, which was a unique wild thing. Do the third girl want to go there to take a look?"
After a moment of words, he still didn't hear a response. He sighed with a loss: "It seems that the third girl is not interested today. It was Lin who took the liberty and was nagging."
Su Mei listened quietly in the room, twisting the corners of her clothes into twists. After hearing this, she turned her head to look at the window. She saw that his figure, which was raised by a stone, was reflected on the window paper.
He is leaving now?!
No perseverance!
Su Mei pursed her lips tightly and her cheeks were bulging.
It was at this moment that the window was suddenly knocked and his voice came: "Miss Three, Lin is here to go back first."
Su Mei was really annoyed. She opened the window with a snap and said angrily: "You can go! You are so whispering, and you still want me to keep you!"
However, she was angry, and Lin Yian pressed her fist and smiled softly, "Don't you dare, can I keep it myself?"
Seeing the smile on his face, Su Mei was stunned for a moment, and realized that she was fooled. Her face turned red and she reached out to close the window again.
He quickly blocked her, looked at her half-blocked Jiaoyan, and sincerely apologized: "Miss Three, I was wrong. As long as you don't drive me away in the future, I will never leave you again, okay?"
Is that good?
"Not good!" Su Mei grabbed his hand, put it to her mouth and bit it hard.
Release all the grievances of yesterday on this.
Lin Yian took a breath in pain, but did not move, allowing her to vent her anger.
She bit her teeth and couldn't relieve her hatred. She even grindled her hands hard before throwing her away and said hoarsely: "You are not trusting. You said that last time, I don't believe you anymore!"
In the end, he closed the window and blocked him from outside.
Lin Yian lowered his head and stared at the tooth mark on his hand, shook his head helplessly, let Shi Tou put himself down again, and just stayed in front of her window.
As night gradually fell, Wu Zisen came over to have a meal. Seeing Lin Yian sitting there alone, he raised his eyebrows and smiled without sympathy.
The lights in the house were lit up, and the aroma of food brought from the kitchen behind filled the entire courtyard with the night wind. Shi Tou sat next to Lin Yian, his stomach was roaring.
"Third Master... I'm hungry." Shi Tou looked at the house pitifully.
Lin Yian moved his numb legs, "You go back to have a meal first."
Shi Tou shook his head repeatedly when he heard this: "No, I don't believe that the third girl is so cruel."
So the master and servant were hungry, waiting until the moon was on the sky, and Wu Zisen left, but he could not see Su Mei. Instead, Zikui came out to persuade him: "Master Three, you should consider your own body and go back first. I guess the girl was angry for two days before she would be over."
"Thank you, Miss Zikui, I'm not worried. But I, a servant, suffer with me. Please find him some food cushions." Lin Yian politely declined her kindness.
In fact, just sitting like sitting in the house is the same.
Yesterday she waited for him all night, but she still hid under the bed. She should have been so panic at that time.
So, by comparison, he didn't suffer much at all.
Zi Kui sighed and went to the kitchen to bring a food box for the master and servant, which contained three dishes and one soup, which was still warm.
Lin Yian felt even more sad when he saw those foods.
She said she was angry, but she actually cared about her own, otherwise there would be no way to get a lot of food.
Even though he is angry and soft-hearted, he is really... he is so soft that he can easily be deceived away.
Shi Tou was really hungry and picked up the bowl and was about to eat. But when he looked up, he saw that his third master did not move and hesitated to put down his chopsticks.
"Eat quickly, you can't let her down." Lin Yian bent down to pick up the chopsticks, and was very serious and started eating bite after bite.
Su Mei was still sitting next to the window, and when she heard his words, she felt sad.
Zi Kui returned to the house and saw tears faintly in her eyes. She whispered to her: "Girl, you are not torturing the Third Master, but torture yourself."
She whimpered sadly: "That's right, I'm going to torture him, how did it become torture myself?"
Seeing that she understood in her heart, Zikui stood in front of her silently and stopped talking.
From the beginning of the girl not remembering what happened, she actually relied heavily on Master Lin San. Zi Kui felt that her dependence was from the sincerity. Even though the girl could not remember what happened, her understanding was becoming more and more deeply rooted.
After observing Mr. Lin these days, apart from his background and inconvenience in legs and feet, he is indeed a person who can rely on, and at least he is sincere to the girl.
She wanted the girl to get along with the third master more, but as a maid, she couldn't say much. That was because she had not exceeded the rules and had no idea of her identity.
It depends on what the girl thinks.
Zi Kui was still thinking a lot. The person who was sitting still suddenly stood up. He didn't even get trapped in embroidered shoes, so he hurried out. A shoe was left alone on the ground in the middle.
Lin Yian forced himself to eat with melancholy. In fact, he had the mood to eat. His heart was so confused that he couldn't even know the taste.
Just as it was hard to swallow, I heard Zi Kui shouting to the girl in the room: "The shoes have fallen!"
After he paused, Su Mei ran to the front of him without saying anything, gasping slightly, staring at him.
Lin Yian was blocked by her and slowly raised her head, and her emotions surged in her unknown gaze. He lowered his head again and saw that one foot was wearing embroidered shoes under her skirt and the other foot was exposed with snow-white silk socks.
But she still didn't move, but her feet were slowly moving uneasy. The foot with her silk stockings slowly rubbed against the embroidered shoes, twisting cutely and embarrassingly.
All his emotions turned into instinct. He bent down and grabbed a chopstick from the food box and handed it to her lips.
"Try this dish I love the most."
He raised his head, his eyes were dim, but his phoenix eyes were as bright as stars.
She ran out and stood in front of him. He didn't speak for a long time. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to cry. He didn't want him to make a pun, which made her unable to help but be amused.
He is jealous.
But the little girl is sometimes so embarrassed, even if she laughs, she still has to be arrogant. She pushes away his chopsticks and says disgustedly: "Who wants to use chopsticks you have used!"
