Little Fujin

The weather cleared up, and the flowers in the back garden gradually bloomed after a spring rain.When the snow-white pear blossoms bloom, they look like clouds in a tree from a distance, exuding a rich fragrance.

Zhan Xi and Lin Ruan stayed in the greenhouse, the floor of the greenhouse was covered with an inch-thick carpet, Zhan Xi sat on a satin sofa chair, wearing a moon-white silk gown, plucked the strings twice, slowly Played a little tune slowly.

Lin Ruan sat cross-legged on the carpet, lying on a small rosewood table, with drawing paper and a ruler in hand.Throwing down the waste papers one by one, Lin Ruan sighed in his heart, these things are really not easy for a layman like himself.

"Sir," Lin Ruan asked, "how do the buildings you have seen abroad compare with ours?"

"Each has its own merits." Zhan Xi played the piano slowly, with a very leisurely look.

"There must be a pros and cons." Lin Ruan muttered in a low voice, "Otherwise, what's the competition?"

Zhan Xi glanced at him and said, "Do you really think your work can win an award?"

Lin Ruan lowered her head, "Is it really that bad?"

Zhan Xi put down the piano, pinched the back of his neck, and said, "I mean, in a competition where all the judges admire Western architecture, it's very unrealistic to rely on Chinese architecture to win an award."

Lin Ruan looked at Zhan Xi, "I promised Professor Fang."

Zhan Xi sneered, "Your professor is not stupid, he doesn't mean to let you win the award, but to show you the beauty and greatness of Chinese architecture. Among all kinds of buildings, even if Chinese architecture is not outstanding, It should be evenly divided."

Lin Ruan looked up and listened to him, "Chinese-style buildings, such as the Forbidden City, pay attention to grandeur and grandeur, but also adapt measures to local conditions, use space reasonably, and build ingeniously. In these respects, Chinese-style buildings are not inferior to any other kind of architecture."

"In addition, Chinese architecture has a special temperament." Zhan Xi looked at Lin Ruan, "I have visited the palaces of other countries, and I don't feel small in their magnificent palaces. You know why ?"

Lin Ruan thought for a while and said, "Because Mr. has entered the Forbidden City?"

Zhan Xi nodded, "No building can compare to the grandeur of the Forbidden City."

Lin Ruan seemed to understand, but Zhanxi often went to the palace when he was a child. At that time, the emperor was still there. The palace is not just a building, it is the last twilight of the dynasty.From that corner, you can glimpse the prosperity and prosperity of the past.

Zhan Xi's palm was still on the back of Lin Ruan's neck, "If you are free, just walk around and see what inspiration you can get from being locked in the room."

Tong Bo was standing at the door, Zhan Xi got up and went out.

When Tong Bo saw Zhanxi coming out, he said, "According to your instructions, I changed the residence for the Lin family, and now they are at Liulichang. The gift has already been delivered, and the family didn't say anything."

Zhan Xi also knew that although Lin Ruan had a connection with the Lin family, they were not close after all, and he had no position to take care of Lin Ruan's affairs.In his heart, Zhan Xi didn't want Lin Ruan and the Lin family to get too close.

Tong Bo looked at Zhan Xi's expression and said, "Then should we get ready?"

Zhan Xi turned around and looked at Lin Ruan in the greenhouse. He was lying on the table in a small ball.

"Don't worry." Zhan Xi said.

Tong Bo frowned, a little puzzled.

Zhan Xi said: "He's still young, he hasn't finished his studies yet, so he probably never thought about these things."

Lin Ruan had just confessed his love to Zhan Xi, and it was too anxious for him to bring up the matter of marriage after only a few days of dating.

Tong Bo then understood that Zhan Xi didn't want to force Lin Ruan to get married so soon, but also feared that others would treat Lin Ruan as a human being and would wrong him.

Zhan Xi stayed with Lin Ruan for a while, and then went out with Shining.Lin Ruan came out of the flower room and went back to her room, and saw a lot of brocade boxes on the coffee table at a glance.

Lin Ruan opened it to look, but saw that there was a ochre-red dress inside, and the inner and outer coats were all red.Lin Ruan shook it off, it was a gown, very delicately made, with black brocade trim and golden patterns embroidered on it.A complete set of clothes, including shoes and socks, is in red, which is a very formal dress.

In addition to clothes, there are a lot of Dongzhu in another box.These are not ordinary pearls. These oriental pearls are produced in the Northeast. They are plump, large, round and crystal clear. You can't get a single pearl from a hundred mussels. They were enshrined in the Qing court.Right now, these pearls are packed one by one in a long box, and the shiny luster is pleasing to the eye.

Dongzhu and red clothes, such things are too ceremonial.

Lin Ruan went downstairs, met Tong Bo, and asked, "Tong Bo, what's in my room..."

Tong Bo glanced at him and said, "I reward you."

"It's too expensive." Lin Ruan said.

Tong Bo frowned, "What's the matter, you just keep what the Lord rewards you, why don't you let the Lord beg you to keep it?"

"Don't dare." Lin Ruan hurriedly said

Tong Bo snorted, handed him a piece of paper, and said, "Your family has changed their residence, and you can bring a gift to see it. It's a congratulations on your housewarming."

Lin Ruan was a little surprised, took the paper, Tong Bo looked at him, and frowned, "In the future, you should also pay attention to your identity, hold it up, don't make people laugh, what can't you bear with a few things?"

Lin Ruan nodded, and Tong Bo was fine with that, he still turned around and fiddled with his flowers and plants.

Carrying her things, Lin Ruan went to the Lin family's new residence at the address given by Tong Bo.

The area around Liulichang is full of cultural atmosphere, and a bookstore can be seen within a few steps.The Lin family's new house is a small building with a yard facing the street. The first floor can be rented out to others to open a shop, and the family lives in the back.

The whole house was completely new, with a lot of new furniture added, and Lin's father and Lin's mother looked much better.There is a school near Liulichang, which is close to home, which makes it convenient for Lin Man to study and go to school.The rented shop can be regarded as a part of the family's income. When Lin Man grows up, the family will only get better and better.

Lin Ruan came out of Lin's house, stood at the street corner and watched from a distance, suddenly felt a sense of being separated, like a settled matter, and his contact with them would only decrease in the future.

Lin Ruan lowered her head and kicked the pebbles on the side of the road, feeling a little sentimental.

As night fell, lights were turned on inside and outside the Lan mansion. Lin Ruan knocked on Zhanxi's door with snacks and hot tea, and walked in after getting a response.

Zhan Xi was in the study, Lin Ruan walked up to him and put down the snacks and hot tea.

Zhan Xi looked up at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Ruan said: "I went to see my parents today. They changed their residence. Was it arranged by the husband?"

Zhan Xi nodded.

Lin Ruan smiled softly, "I think so, no one except Mr. can arrange it so well."

Lin Ruan knelt on the carpet and looked up at Zhan Xi, "Thank you, sir."

Zhan Xi put her palm on Lin Ruan's side neck, rubbed it lightly twice, but did not speak.

Lin Ruan suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Those things in my room, why did Mr. send me those?"

"Don't you like it?" Zhan Xi asked.

"No," Lin Ruan said, "I think it's too precious, does it have any special meaning?"

"There is no special meaning," Zhan Xi lowered his eyebrows and looked at Lin Ruan, "I like you, so I want to give you all the precious things, and it is best to give you all the good things."

Lin Ruan's heart suddenly seemed to be filled with hot water, hot and swollen, he hurriedly pulled Zhan Xi, and asked: "Whatever does the gentleman want, I can give it to you."

Zhanxi smiled softly, "I don't give you things for you to return to me."

"That's not what I mean," Lin Ruan hurriedly explained, "I want to give you something because I like you too."

After a pause, Lin Ruan said again: "I'm not as powerful as my husband, and I can't get many precious things. But I listen to my husband, and I can do whatever he asks me to do."

Zhan Xi's eyes darkened suddenly, he looked at Lin Ruan, and Lin Ruan's eyes were bright.Lin Ruan didn't know the implication in these words, he just thought that Zhan Xi liked him to be obedient.

"You can do anything?"

Lin Ruan nodded without realizing it, and Zhan Xi laughed, and Lin Ruan laughed inexplicably.

Lin Ruan looked up at Zhan Xi, who pinched the back of his neck, stretched out his hand and opened the drawer, which contained a small key.

"This is the key to a room at the end of the corridor on the third floor." Zhan Xi put the small copper key in Lin Ruan's palm, "You have read it, and you will know what I want."

Lin Ruan was holding the key, her eyes were blank.

The next day Zhanxi went out early, Lin Ruan saw that there was no one around, so she quietly walked to the third floor.

There are many rooms on the third floor, but they are basically unoccupied. They are used to store some valuables, and only servants come up to clean the corridors on weekdays.

Lin Ruan went all the way to the end of the corridor, opened the door with the small copper key, and stepped in.As soon as he closed the door and turned around, he was attracted by all kinds of weird things in the room.

There is no extra decoration in the room. There is a large bed in the middle, with brass bedposts at the four corners, and a dark red bed curtain hanging on it. The inside and outside are separated by red gauze.This kind of red yarn shows a charming atmosphere in such an environment.

There was a window outside, the curtains were drawn, and a sofa chair was placed under the window.There are all kinds of utensils hanging on the walls, and Lin Ruan's mouth is dry at a glance. He suspects that the ruler that Zhanxi used to use came from here.

Wow, Lin Ruan thought with a blushing face, is this the legendary feudal legacy?
