Your heart's desire

He ordered the dining room to cook a few small dishes, scalded the sweet-scented osmanthus wine dug up during the day, and the charcoal fire in the stove was making a sound, and the three of them sat on the floor, chattering like that.

Lin Ying recounted what happened during the day from the beginning to the end, until Chipin and the two frowned crookedly and couldn't figure out Luo Yan's meaning.Chi Pin also told about the origin of that box of jewels, Lin Ying didn't want to know that it came from He Jian's Yufang.

Chipin reported Lin Ying's illness during the day, and Luo Yan immediately blocked him by the long steps of the Jinluan Hall, looking at the posture of asking the truth, it seemed that he was very concerned about the emperor's punishment of him.

So Chi Pin thought in his heart that his actions might be implying something.On the way back to the house, the heart suddenly opened, and the two turned the sedan chair into the famous Zhuanyufang in the city.

We have been together for more than a year, but Lin Ying has some understanding of He Jian's family.

After some inquiries in the capital, everyone knows that the only son of the owner of Zhuanyufang in the east of the city is a complete bookworm. To put it bluntly, it sounds innocent, but in fact, it is no different from stupidity.

Because of these reasons, I didn't get any high-ranking officials to do it. At the beginning of the establishment of Dali Temple in the middle of the court, I sent you Shaoqing who had nothing to do with it. is a year.

In the past two years, no one in the court deliberately made things difficult, because his father used money to manage everything.So when such a thing happened, the first person Chipin thought of was the old man of the He family.

Unexpectedly, this old man is a master who does not let his fat and water flow to outsiders. It is a big deal to spend on his son, so he has listened to all the words.

On the contrary, he was very vigilant and found that He Jian was not involved, so he just raised his face and closed the door to see off the guests.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the two of them just stood there in the heavy snow, their bodies shaking from the cold.

He Jian could see that Chipin was worried and unwilling, but he had lost all his money.The two drove the carriage to a wasteland on the outskirts of the city, and dug out this box of private money that his father had secretly hidden.

Abolishing such a great god is useless after all, Chipin poured wine into his mouth and said: "If not, we will send this object to his house, and then bring someone back to persuade him. In this world People die for money, birds die for food, isn't that what they want!"

He seemed to mind that there were more people in the house, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke quite loudly.

He Jian was fiddling with his birdcage on the side, and in the past he only spoke in line with Chi Pin's intentions, so Chi Pin winked at him at this moment.

Confused, he patted the side of the cage, and the red-haired mynah inside shouted loudly: "Good luck, my lord! Good luck, my lord!"

He was very satisfied before he spoke, but unexpectedly violated Chipin's intention: "In such a cold day, Luo Yan is a more spoiled master than me. If it is for money, why would he choose the youngest one?" Living in the most shabby house, and threatened to rest for three months, but can't you eat enough this morning?"

Chi Pin was half drunk and half awake, and answered without thinking: "Yes, you are right!"

After a moment of reaction, a blushing face stared and turned away, He Jian was so frightened that he immediately covered his mouth and dared not speak again.

Seeing this, Lin Ying smiled, which was rare today.He stretched out his hand and pulled Chi Pin to his side: "Don't tease him anymore, he is right. With his family background, gold and silver things may be hard to get into his eyes. And the three of us Adding up the salary for a year is not so much, if he wants to talk about this matter again, it will be troublesome!"

Chi Pin touched his hot cheeks, let out a long breath, shook his head, trying to wake himself up: "Could it be that you really want to keep him in the house for three months?"

The three of them looked at each other and were speechless for a moment, he swallowed helplessly, and said again: "This Luo Qingshan is not a good person, today's matter is obviously coming towards you, and you don't know what you want to do. Be careful!"

Lin Ying nodded, but he didn't seem to speak, his eyes paused, and gradually he couldn't open them: "I'm afraid he's thinking..."

Before he finished speaking, he leaned his body and plunged into Lin Ying's arms, only to hear the bird chirp again: "See no evil, see no evil!"

The excitement of the Lantern Festival in the city didn't subside until the middle of the night, but this secluded place in the west of the city was like a paradise, and there was no smell from the beginning to the end.

There are a lot of things this year, and life is not very comfortable.After Lin Ying finished the matter yesterday, today he originally thought that the three of them could go to the Lantern Festival at night, so that they could get rid of their bad luck by enjoying the happy things.

I didn't expect to be interrupted, and now I can only lift the window fan to look at the fireworks in full bloom in the sky, and then cover my head with the quilt and sleep soundly.

Luo Yan was inexplicably angry during the day and stayed behind closed doors, but Lin Ying responded to his thoughts and really left him there.

Only when I came back, I went to the door to take a look, but saw that the candles in the room had been extinguished, and there was a celadon bowl on the door, presumably it was used by cloves to hold chicken soup, but it was empty at the moment.

He grinned involuntarily, and suddenly felt that although Luo Yan seemed to have changed a lot, he was not as cold and unapproachable as he looks now. In his bones, he was still the doll who liked to cause trouble and was unscrupulous, but could not be hated. .

Looking at a person, one often needs to look for clues from the smallest details. Just such a small matter, the defense he had built against Luo Yan just because of his delayed appointment was instantly crushed.

After carefully thinking about the day's events, he suddenly felt that even if he had something on his mind, he would not do anything that would be detrimental to him.

Thoughts were pulling, and for some reason, I suddenly remembered a certain day many years ago.

At that time, he was still in Jiangnan, and he and Chi Pin had been classmates for two years.One day, a newcomer came to the school, and Chi Pin took him to the railing of the attic and looked down. After eleven gongs sounded to clear the way, three maroon sedan chairs came slowly.

A group of people marched into the elevated couplets in the courtyard, and someone stood on the end of the wooden ladder and shouted: "Is Master Jin here?"

The one who lifted the curtain and stepped out of the sedan chair was Luo Yan.

Luo Yan was already fifteen that year. I heard from Mr. Jin that his father was the Taifu, and he lost his mother when he was 13 years old. The hostility in his body became worse every year. The Taifu and Mr. are old acquaintances. , so I don't want Wanli to send him here, I want to calm down for him.

Lin Ying was separated from his parents on the road to escape famine in his early years, and met Chipin who had no father or mother. This time, he met Luo Yan, who lost his mother, and the few of them felt sympathetic to each other.

I thought that he was new here, so it would be a good thing to be able to take care of each other.

Unexpectedly, this high-ranking Mr. Taifu was friendly on the surface, but secretly had bad intentions. From the few words he talked with, he learned that he was afraid of snakes.

When night fell, I didn't know that a small golden snake was brought up and wrapped around his neck, scaring him so badly that he fainted after staring at him.

Chi Pin lived in the same room with him at that time, and saw the whole process with a clear eye. Afterwards, Mr. Jin asked why.He will stand up and point out.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ying opened his mouth first and said that he was too lazy to close the window last night, which almost killed him.

The side of the house is facing a wasteland, where weeds are overgrown all the year round, and it would be credible to say that there were snakes, so Mr. Jin didn't pursue it.

On the contrary, Luo Yan, who was standing aside and was thinking about something in his heart, got angry, fished out the snake from the earthen jar, and said very angrily: "Who needs you to help me cover it up?" Yes, I do things alone."

Lin Ying and Chi Pin were both startled, a little unexpected.

After the anger over there, the tone suddenly became low, and he explained: "But you have to see clearly, this snake is not poisonous, and I have even pulled out my teeth, so I can't bite you!"

This incident had long been forgotten, but now I suddenly remembered it.Standing under the eaves, the heavy snow was blown by the wind, and some of it drifted into the collar, making people shake in the chill.But that feeling was like that sultry and irritable summer night, with a kind of ironic warmth.

He went back to the house, put the charcoal fire together, covered his head with the quilt and fell asleep. This was the official announcement that there was another master in the Lin family, and it was still a three-month period.

The new master did not survive the first three days.Lin Ying was suspended from his post by the emperor for inspection, and he, the Master Shang Shu, who was not very early in the court on weekdays, simply put aside the early court and stayed with Lin Ying at the mansion.

In the early days, he just liked to talk and joke a little. When eating, he liked to snatch food from Lin Ying's bowl, and he would say a few sentences backwards when Lin Ying said anything.It's annoying, but it's not a big deal.

But after three days, I don't know if I figured out something, or I got used to everything in this house, my face changed, first I ordered that there should be only wine and no tea on the table when eating, and three meals a day required three dishes Yi Tang, at the end of the day he had to walk ahead of him on the street, and he had to book the theater and drive everyone out.

Lin Ying didn't say anything if he spent money and listened to the show, but took out his pocket, but Luo Ya moved the rattan chair, playing with two jade beads in his hand, and kept his gaze on Lin Ying without moving away. opened.

Lin Ying was very uncomfortable to watch, so he glanced at him and asked, "What are you doing, sir, but this excerpt is not to your liking?"

Luo Yan was very calm, his eyes still didn't move away, and he opened his mouth: "I don't like this kind of noisy work since I was a child, I'd better look at some quiet objects for peace of mind!"

"A quiet object?" Lin Ying thought about it, and turned his head to look at the room, wondering if he might have misunderstood.

Luo Yan went on to say something, but it seemed that he was rushing to give him a blow in the head: "My lord looks deep when he is watching a play, but he looks good too!"

The tone is just right, the context is just right, there is nothing wrong with it, but there is something strange that cannot be said.
