Chapter 8 The Lingering Garden

Wen Qin and A Qiang stayed in Linshui for a few more days, and A Qiang accompanied Wen Qin to take a stroll around Linshui.

Baiquan Tea House usually starts normal business at noon, and the peak passenger flow is from noon to evening.Daliang was founded nearly a hundred years ago, and the country is prosperous and the people are peaceful. Although the gate of Linshui City was closed on time at the beginning of Xu, there was no curfew in the city, so the nightlife in Linshui was extremely colorful.

The sun was already shining brightly outside the window, Lin Baiquan yawned and Shi Shiran went up to her daily office room on the third floor.There was a knocking sound outside the door. "Come in"

"The landlord." It was the shopkeeper who came in.

"What's the matter?" She was busy very late last night, and now she just got up and didn't have time to eat breakfast.Without even looking at the shopkeeper, he looked impatient as if he had something to say quickly, and then get out of here.

"Young Master Wen came here this morning. She said she was leaving today, so she came to bid you farewell." The shopkeeper was also very upset. This Young Master Wen knocked on the door directly. Pulled up from the bed to receive, he didn't get enough sleep!

"After she learns that you won't come to the teahouse until noon, let me pass these two to you." After speaking, he handed over a wooden box, and Lin Baiquan opened the box and lay quietly a wooden hairpin inside.Lin Baiquan took out the hairpin and looked at it carefully for a long time. Except for a few lifelike branches and leaves carved on one end, there is nothing outstanding about it at all!

When the shopkeeper received the wooden box, he was still thinking about the precious gift inside, but he didn't expect it to be an ordinary wooden hairpin...you can buy it for 10 yuan on the street!

The corner of the shopkeeper's mouth twitched slightly, this should be the cheapest gift the landlord has ever received!No, there are even cheaper ones!

"There are also gardenias. Young Master Wen said that when he came here in the morning, he happened to meet a flower seller. He saw that the flowers were fresh and tender, so he bought them together for you!" As he spoke, the shopkeeper lifted a basket from his feet. A basket of gardenias, some are already in full bloom and some are still budding.When the shopkeeper came in, Lin Baiquan looked at him impatiently, and leaned directly on the chair behind the table, without seeing the flower basket placed by the shopkeeper at his feet.

Lin Baiquan said in his heart that he smelled the fragrance of gardenias all the time, and thought it was some flower girl who happened to be standing by the window downstairs. "Er...then did she say anything else?" This little Mr. Wen really gave the gift by surprise.

"Little Master Wen said: She really likes your... tea, but now she has something to deal with, and she will definitely come to drink tea and chat with you when she has a chance in the future."

Lin Baiquan almost spit out his tea, raised his eyes and glared at the shopkeeper, can you speak without panting so much?In fact, I don’t blame the shopkeeper. What Wen Qin originally wanted to say was: "I like her... I wanted to make friends with her." Later, he suddenly realized that it might cause some misunderstandings, so he changed it to " I quite like her... tea."

"do you have anything else?"

"Gone."

"Okay, Nineteen is back and let him come to see me right away."

"Yes."

Lin Baiquan was playing with this and that wooden hairpin.With a smile in his eyes, he said to himself: "Interesting!"

Return at nineteen in the afternoon.

"So he has visited Linshui City all over the past few days? And eats in different restaurants and shops for three meals a day? The rest of the time is spent shopping in the market."

"Yes. This little Mr. Wen has visited garment shops, pawnshops, rouge shops, paper shops, rice shops, and cloth shops. He also loves all kinds of street stalls on the roadside. Well, he stopped in front of Baihualou last night. After a while, if the boy next to him didn't stop him, he might be dragged in by the girl at the door..."

"...Then what did he buy?"

Nineteen was ashamed to say: "I bought candied gourds, sugar figurines, pastries, buns, steamed buns, and maltose. When my subordinates saw her, they would look at her and eat two mouthfuls before throwing them away... I also bought a few wooden hairpins. Some rouge gouache..." For such a big boy, the things he buys are either food or rouge gouache!

"..." Lin Baiquan paused, looking at the hairpin he was playing with in his hand without interest, so this is just one of them.It seems that this child has a lot of sisters who need gifts.

Nineteen saw the hairpin following the line of sight of the landlord, and continued to speak: "Three hairpins, a total of three taels of silver."

"..." Even if Lin Baiquan opened a shop, he saw a lot of playboys who don't know the value of salt and rice, and he would sigh in his heart for this prodigal child!

"Didn't contact anyone?"

"No."

"Did the Wen family go looking for trouble?"

"I have been following, but this young master Wen seems to be casual, but he is actually very vigilant. Most of the places he goes to are crowded and spacious. They have been unable to attack. Today, young master Wen and his followers drove out of the city, and the Wen family also followed. I saw that they were going to make a move, so I stopped them without any trace. When I went to find the whereabouts of that young master Wen, he disappeared. So I came back to report. "

"Well, well done!"

On the other hand, Wen Qin had a great time playing these past few days.In the first two days, everything I saw was new, but because I didn’t have any entertainment items, I could only go shopping and shopping every day. After two days, I felt bored.Before she came, she was worried about how to inquire about Wen's situation in Linshui.As a result, she confronted the two Wen family members directly on the first day, and she didn't have to ask when she went out to eat later, as there was always someone gossiping next to her.You can say anything.

What: The young master of the Wen family was afraid that his second and third uncles would rob the family property, so he hid directly in Wenling Villa and could not come out.

The young master of the Wen family is actually dead.Widowed mothers and young children dare not mourn.

Wen Youxin wants to adopt his grandson Wen Sen to Wen Lang.

Wen Yiping was not Wen Youxin's own.

So what about Wen Youliang... The current patriarch of the Wen family is so old and married another concubine!

Wen Qin didn't want to hear it anymore.It feels like this matter of Wen's family is almost becoming someone else's appetizer.

Wen Qin felt a little sympathetic to Wen Lang.

On the fifth day, Wen Qin decided to go to Wenling Villa.First go to Baiquan Tea House to bid farewell, then let Ah Qiang drive the car and leave the city.

According to A Qiang, they drove slowly and should be able to arrive before sunset in the afternoon.Much faster on horseback.

When Wen Qin's bones were about to fall apart, Ah Qiang finally talked about Wen Ling.Wen Qin was about to get off the car happily when he was told that it would take another half an hour to get to the villa.

Nani!

The five peaks of Wenling cover a vast area, and the Wen family cannot manage and develop them all.There are also large areas with deep grass and lush trees and virgin forests.

Wenling Villa is located on the mountainside of the second peak.It turned out to be the summer resort of a prince from the previous dynasty.After Emperor Gaozu of Daliang bestowed this Wenling Mountain to the Wen family, the Wen family repaired, rebuilt and expanded the original summer resort into the current Wenling Mountain Villa.

How many square meters does it occupy?How many acres?Wen Qin didn't know.She can only say that it is so big, it looks as big as several football fields!

The ancestor of the Wen family in Linshui was famous for his martial arts and his military exploits.So now several villages near Wenling are descendants of a group of loyal soldiers who followed the ancestor of the Wen family to fight in the south and north, and then resigned with him and returned home.Including Wen Qiang, who is now following Wen Qin, whose ancestors were the personal guards of General Wen.

Just after entering the villa, Wen Qin saw a big martial arts arena.The bluestone slabs were paved one by one, some of which were broken, and some were trampled into the mud.I think it must be mighty and majestic when General Wen led his troops to practice here!

Wen Qin, who was standing in the martial arts arena, looked up. The Wenling Villa under the twilight was built step by step by taking advantage of the mountain.Among the high walls, only a few courtyards of Wenling Villa were lit with lights, while the rest were dimly hidden within the high walls.

Wanting to come to this huge manor, I don't know how many people will be needed to take care of it.

Except for this main road, the martial arts field under her feet has been overrun by strong weeds.

As early as they arrived at the foot of Wenlang Mountain, Wen Qiang sent the people on duty at the foot of the mountain to inform Uncle Zhong and the others.Therefore, when Wen Qin was still looking at the entire Wenling Villa, Uncle Zhong was already standing at the gate of the villa, waiting for Wen Qin.

Wen Qin was led by Uncle Zhong into a small courtyard.There are no tall trees in the small courtyard, only a few clumps of pruning bamboo, and a few short trees whose names cannot be seen in the night. After entering the small courtyard, there is a corridor connected to several rooms in the courtyard. Under the eaves, the corridor has already been burned. A few lanterns, and an unknown fragrance of flowers wafting in the air.

The life of the rich second generation is really good!

Wen Lang looked at his very assertive sister with a smile and asked, "You're back, how do you look?"

"Well. It's okay."

"..." Wen Lang looked at her, he couldn't see through his sister.

In the past two days, he also discussed Wen Qin with Uncle Zhong.Both of them felt that they couldn't see through, but both felt that Wen Qin was capable of pretending.

Wen Lang has been in Wenling Villa for two months. According to the past, when Wen Youbang was still there, he would have no problem staying here for a year.But now that Wen Youbang has passed away, both the head of Wen's family and Wen Youxin have sent people to look for him, asking him to return to Linshui City to take charge of the remaining Wen's rice shop and cloth shop.

Wen Youbang sold most of Wen's rice stores and cloth stores, but the ones in Luocheng, Weinan and Linshui haven't had much time to sell.And in these stores, most of the Wen's side branches live by these stores.Some of these people, like Wen Youxin, want to grab it by force, while others want to follow the crowd. Although they are grateful, they can't bear it, but they are helpless.

Wen Qin knew that Wen Lang was waiting for her answer. She thought about Wen Yiming and Wen Yiping's arrogance and the gossip she heard in Linshui, so she didn't go around in circles with him: "I agree to pretend to be you. But let's talk first Well, we are 15 years old now. Boys and girls have not yet developed their bodies, so it is easy to pretend. But as we get older, the difference between men and women will become greater, and it will be difficult to pretend. So you Hurry up and get back from illness."

"I know. Let's deal with what's in front of us first!"

"it is good."

The two formed an alliance.

According to the speed of Linshui's urging, Wen Lang wished that one day could be divided into two days to make up Wen Qin's lessons.

Wen Qintian didn't see many people here at all.Even Wen Qiang, who was swimming with her in Linshui, didn't know where he went?

This day, Wen Lang told her about the business situation in Los Angeles for half a day, who is in charge and what his personality is, and how many Wen family members are involved in the rice store and cloth store in Los Angeles.Before he finished speaking, he had a terrible cough, and he almost couldn't breathe.

Wen Qin was so frightened that he was at a loss.

Xiao Lin, who was still at the door, cleverly went to bring the doctor over immediately, and rescued Wen Lang by pinching people and doing acupuncture.

Wen Qin was terrified.They kept saying that Wen Lang was not in good health, and she just assumed that her health was poor, so she took good care of her, and then she could see a doctor with peace of mind and she should be fine.She didn't expect it to be so bad... They were obviously indoors, talking to each other, and this person almost coughed to death in front of her...

The doctor ordered a two-day rest, so Wen Qin stayed in the study for a while in the morning, and had nothing to do after lunch.It just so happens that she has been busy studying these few days, and she hasn't visited this villa yet...

She decided to visit the villa.

Lingering Garden!

interesting!It has the same name as the Lingering Garden in Suzhou.She lives in Changyuan, and Wen Lang lives in Jingyuan.There is actually a Lingering Garden here.

Wen Qin raised his foot and went in.June is the most comfortable weather in summer. The air is warm but not too hot, the sun is bright but not strong, and the wind in the mountains brings a little bit of coolness from time to time, with a strong or light floral fragrance in the coolness.

The yard was unusually quiet, with the sound of gurgling water coming from a little further away, and there seemed to be a lingering mist behind the yard.Occasionally, there are one or two birdsong in the mountains one after another.It seems that this courtyard is more quiet.

There is no corridor or rockery in the courtyard, only climbing roses are planted on the edge of the courtyard wall.The roses are already blooming, and there are two big ginkgo trees in the middle, which are now flourishing and green.

This yard is so beautiful!The roses now, the ginkgo leaves fall in autumn!She wants to live here!

The yard was clean and tidy, obviously someone was cleaning it regularly.

The Lingering Garden is bigger than her and Wen Lang's Changyuan and Jingyuan, and these two ginkgo trees are also very big.So she didn't realize until she got closer that there was a swing set up on the other side of the ginkgo tree.And there is a woman on the swing, the woman is dressed in white to win the snow, her black hair is untied and untied, hanging naturally on her chest, the white dress flutters slightly under the caress of the warm summer wind, the woman is leaning her head on the swing Put the hand on the rope and place the other hand on the abdomen.

It seems to be in deep thought, and it seems that it is just enjoying the good time of early summer lazily and leisurely.
