Your heart's desire

After spending a few days in Lin's mansion like that, maybe Luo Yan and Mrs. Luo had a quarrel, Mrs. Luo just stayed in the room every day and didn't even take a step out of the door.

Luo Yan had to go out every day to make some arrangements, Lin Ying didn't dare to stay at the mansion alone, so he just got out and helped Ding Xiang find a marriage by the way.

It was a coincidence that there was an unmarried son of a merchant family in the city, and he was a well-educated master, and his appearance was not bad, so Lin Ying came to make peace, and married him as his younger sister.

On the day of the wedding, the husband came on horseback and carried the sedan chair, and he had already reached the door, but the girl suddenly walked out holding Lilac and Feng Guanxia.

Lin Yingli looked at her from the courtyard, and saw that she had taken off her hijab and fell to her knees with a plop. Tears burst out of her eye sockets, melting the rouge on her cheeks.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing this scene, he hurriedly leaned forward, stretched out his hand to pull Lilac, and hurriedly turned his head to the girl in front of him and said, "Quickly, help Miss get up."

But Ding Xiang stubbornly swung the arms of both of them away, looked up at Lin Ying who was a little dazed, and suddenly leaned forward, knocking his head on the ground with a bang.

"Your Excellency, don't refuse. A year ago, it was Master Lin and Master Chi who gave Ding Xiang a chance to live. Ding Xiang was very light-hearted and knew that he couldn't do anything for the two adults. He could only stay in this courtyard as a cow and a horse. repay.

Now that my lord has found a confidant, Ding Xiang, I can feel at ease. My lord, Ding Xiang, has nothing to repay her in this life. Today, when Ding Xiang gets married, she can only kowtow to her, and she will never be able to serve her again. "

The spring breeze is refreshing, Lin Ying is standing on the door of the hall at this moment, the draft gently lifts a tasseled gold hairpin tassel on Ding Xiang's head, which makes Ding Xiang even more charming.

"Okay, everything is fine, my fair lady, a gentleman is so good. I don't have anything else to ask for, but you have been with me for so long, and I hope that you won't get into trouble with your family because of my affairs in the future."

Seeing Lin Ying's tears also flowed out, it was a lie to say that there was no sigh in his heart.

Standing in this courtyard and living here for a year, I took a look at the familiar place of plants and trees, there was no thick smoke billowing from the chimney, and I could not hear the noise of people, and the surrounding was as quiet as a knife blade Straight to the hearts of the people, without a single star of popularity.

All of a sudden, his mind was filled with images of himself and Chipin Chuchu when they arrived.

At that time, the two young people who were strong and vigorous, fearless and fearless, thought that they could honor their ancestors by winning the list, and it was a matter of infinite glory.How much cold and how much hunger I suffered along the way, for such a thought, I persisted.

And what happened later, he was such a pure and innocent person, he was happy all day long, and he only asked for a late hire. In such a world, he didn't get a good result in the end.

Thinking about it, I find it funny, when I asked the emperor to leave this house, this mansion was as quiet and cold as it is now.

The story of the predecessors is over, and the excitement continues at his place, but they have never thought about it, but there will still be a day when the song ends.

Things are people and things are not everything. This statement is not false at all.There will be an indelible mark on every journey in life. He is there. Even if you forget something, you will remember it when you see it casually.

Suddenly came to his senses, the sound of firecrackers had already sounded outside the mansion.Lin Ying didn't say anything, just raised his hand to wipe Ding Xiang's tears, and then grabbed the hijab from her hand to cover her, but he obviously felt Ding Xiang's body tremble, and the choking sound became more and more obvious.

The invited matchmaker came into the house to take a look, and seeing that the man had already come out, she hurriedly ran and shouted: "The bride is getting on the sedan chair!"

I just felt that the sound of gongs and drums outside was getting closer to my ears. The three of them walked to the door and stood still. The groom stood outside and followed them, asking: "Master Lin, this..."

Lin Ying understood what he said, and explained with a smile: "There are no elders in the family. The tokens of the ancestors and the ancestral hall of the ancestors were burned. As the saying goes, the elder brother is the father, so you just salute me. In this room I don’t have anyone else to drink, and I don’t have any hot tea to drink, so I hope you don’t feel disgusted.”

The groom shook his head slightly, his eyes were so clear and clever, he took Ding Xiang's hand and slowly moved her body over, the two of them bowed on the spot, kowtowed three times and kowtowed nine times.

When he was leaving, the man did not forget to say: "Lord Lin, don't worry, I will take good care of you!" Then he turned around, and the loud battle of gongs and drums rang out.

Lin Ying looked down and saw the wet puddle on the ground where Ding Xiang had knelt just now, knowing that Ding Xiang was crying so miserably just now.

Heartbroken at that moment with uncontrollable pain, so he didn't follow the wedding procession to the house to drink and drink.

Instead, he turned back to the empty house, set up a chopping board on the burnt ancestral hall, set up an incense burner, lit a red candle, and respectfully offered a stick of incense.

After returning to Taifu's mansion alone, he fell asleep on the bed and slept soundly from noon until dawn the next day.

And this second day is exactly the emperor's birthday.

I didn't wake up that night, but when I got up early in the morning, I saw that there was no one in the house.Lin Ying was a little surprised, and asked the night watchman outside to ask, only to find out that Luo Yan hadn't come back all night.

Under normal circumstances, he was afraid that he would be angered by his father in the house, so he would come back early in the morning to accompany him.Yesterday was so abnormal, something must have happened.

"Know where the other is?"

The night watchman just smiled, thinking that it was absurd for him to ask this question: "Where is the master going, why would he talk to us slaves, sir, please don't make fun of slaves!"

Lin Ying only felt dazed and dizzy at the back of his head for a while, and only after hearing his words did he fully wake up, now that he has entered the Taifu's mansion, and his Lin mansion is no longer the same.

Feeling quite helpless, now there is no such thing as Ding Xiang who can talk nonsense with him, and there are people who understand his mind to serve him.

Maybe everyone in this mansion has been arranged by Mrs. Luo, and their eyes are staring at him.

So I thought it would be better to do everything by myself, hurriedly stepped to the door, opened the door with a creak, and glanced at the direction of Mrs. Luo in the side courtyard.

There was a few wisps of cooking smoke in the distance, but there was no sound nearby, and even the gossip of the servants could not be heard.It was quiet and treacherous, but it made him feel uneasy.

I ordered the man to go down, closed the door, sat in the room thinking about it, always felt that something was wrong, but couldn't come up with an answer.

At this time, the servants serving in the yard heard the movement in the house, and hurriedly came into the house with the items for washing.Three or four formed a small team in the hall, all of them looked expressionless, like walking dead.

"The servants are bathing and changing clothes for the adults!"

Lin Ying looked sideways, seeing that today's battle does not seem like going to Japan, he was a bit suspicious, and was startled by the consul's girl's sudden words.

"Oh……"

He stammered, and looked suspiciously at the other people, only to see that the last girl was holding the clothes that Luo Yan had prepared for him earlier in the morning.

Only then did I suddenly remember what day it is.After tidying up for a while, he went out neatly dressed to prepare his horse, and rushed towards the imperial city alone.

By the time someone stood at the gate of Changle, it was already high in the sun.

Today is different from the past, the emperor's birthday is celebrated all over the world, and the capital has probably exploded since early in the morning.Just now Lin Ying rode a horse for the festival, it was already a peerless grand occasion that was empty for thousands of people, and he barely made it through.

Right now, standing outside the palace wall and looking towards the city, the scene is already red, and even the slowly moving water in the moat is full of red paper boats floating in an endless stream, and the paper boats are placed one by one on top of each other. With a red candle, although the fire light is not too dazzling in the daytime, it is quite bright when set off by the red paper.

A year ago when Lin Ying was in high school, the emperor's birthday was just around the corner. At that time, he was reading dead books in the inn every day.Now it's eye-opening, but I don't know what good things I missed back then.

Looking for Luo Yan was impatient, he was so anxious that he squeezed into the crowd, wheezing heavily, tossing and turning in the crowd, but he couldn't see Luo Yan's shadow in the crowd full of familiar faces.

When he was sweating profusely from exhaustion, he leaned against the stone wall of the imperial city, and when he raised his head, he realized that the Changle Gate was still closed at this time.

Unable to find Luo Yan's figure, he couldn't help asking out of curiosity, only then did he realize that all of these people were waiting for a prize, which was a prize that must come every year since the establishment of the reign title .

Whenever the master of the palace has a big festival, he will hang a copper coin on the gate of the imperial city, and everyone downstairs.

Regardless of whether it is a high-ranking official, a merchant, or a commoner, no matter what methods are exhausted, as long as the copper coins can be torn away, they can get a request promised by the emperor.

Before the beads of sweat on Lin Ying's forehead receded, someone behind him was shocked: "There is someone upstairs!"

After finishing the sentence, the surrounding crowd suddenly surged up, and everyone below took out their weapons and threw them towards the sky, one by one, when they were thrown and fell, they couldn't help pushing and shoving when they hurt people The last few sentences are very noisy.

"Master Lin, don't you give it a try? After winning this lottery, you will be the first-class master today."

A person next to him patted Lin Ying on the shoulder. He heard the voice was an acquaintance. He raised his head and saw the master who was wearing a first-class official uniform with him, so he smiled politely.

It was boring to say, waiting was waiting, Lin Ying took a few steps forward to join in the fun, and turned his head to look at the top of the city tower. With the light of the sky, he couldn't see a single star. trace.
