Looking at the bright moon
Chapter 68
When He Lingshan returned to Longyuan, it was already the evening of the second day.The color of the setting sun is very good, softly hooked by the corners of the eaves, casting a slanted shadow on the long steps.
He passed by the outer hall, but did not see Wen Mingyu's car at the door, 360 days a year, the other party would be late for [-] days.On the contrary, the butler got the report from his servants, and soon came to the door and handed He Lingshan a bunch of keys to He Lingshan who was drinking tea.
He Lingshan didn't take it immediately, but asked instead: "What is this?"
"The key to Young Master's study." The housekeeper said, "Young Master told me before going out this morning that he has a lot of things to do recently, and you will take care of things at home first."
That was when they were still on the boat, He Lingshan had just woken up from his afternoon nap, when he opened his eyes, he saw Wen Mingyu half lying beside him reading a book.The other party was pestered by him for a while, and seemed to be in a good mood, so he called him his wife jokingly at that time.It's a pity that He Lingshan was quite shocked by these two words. When he slowly started to feel embarrassed, Wen Mingyu stopped calling him that.That person's menglang and indignity are just a short thought that came out of his excitement. He Lingshan is always caught off guard. The more he is caught off guard, the more clearly he remembers it. Even Wen Mingyu's smile when he said these two words is not bad. ground down.
But he didn't expect that after Wen Mingyu made that joke, he would really entrust the internal affairs to himself, as if he really wanted him to fulfill the responsibility of a wife.Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on He Lingshan's face. He didn't mind if the other party placed a woman's title on his head. Once most men in the world fall into love, they are always willing to indulge unconditionally and without a bottom line. He doesn't know Jue was also a part of it.
The housekeeper said again: "Young master, it's the end of the year now, and Longyuan's big and small accounts for this year are waiting for you to go and have a look."
As soon as he was in a place where there were no other people, the butler was just like Xu Hancheng, stubbornly calling him Young Master.He Lingshan was too lazy to stop it, he took the key, weighed it lightly in the palm of his hand, immediately got up, and said: "Let's go, take me to have a look."
The housekeeper originally wanted to remind the little master, but he didn't expect him to leave immediately, so he couldn't help persuading him: "It's a bit late today, you just came back, it won't be too late to deal with it tomorrow."
He Lingshan said: "No need, this is not a difficult matter."
He wasn't talking big, for the last two years with He Zongkui, he had been in charge of the keys to the safe and the account cabinet of the He mansion, and he was already very proficient in doing so.Now that He Mansion is replaced by Long Garden, there will probably not be much difference.Seeing that he persisted, the housekeeper ran away and called all the accountants in Longyuan to the study for He Lingshan to ask.
After the real comparison, He Lingshan realized that his thinking was too simple.Although there is only one owner of Long Garden, there are many more servants than He Mansion. When there are more people, all kinds of expenditures become more varied.He Lingshan accepted this job for the first time, so he encountered many obstacles. He almost asked a question once he turned a page.He handled it cautiously, and several accountants were also walking on thin ice. They had all been admonished by the housekeeper, and they were very respectful to He Lingshan, and they did not dare to show a little slippery appearance.
It was the first time for these accountants to see He Lingshan, and they thought that the young and beautiful man in front of them was the new steward of the Wen family who was about to take over as the old housekeeper.While He Lingshan was looking down at the account book, they looked at each other in twos and threes, their eyes full of silent murmurs - what is the origin of this new young steward.
He Lingshan had discovered the silent conversation between them early on, but was too lazy to interfere.He is always serious about things, the more unfamiliar he is, the more focused he is.Unknowingly, several accountants accompanied He Lingshan to sit until the night fell. He Lingshan turned on the desk lamp, held a pen in his hand, and marked the checked places.His problems were much less than before. Several accountants tried to get close to him, but they were all silently responded to, so they stopped asking for boredom and kept their mouths shut.
I don't know how long it has been, He Lingshan turned out a receipt from the silk and satin shop, and asked without raising his head, "Why is there no record of this sum of money?"
Unexpectedly, after a long time, he did not hear the answer.He Lingshan frowned, and was about to ask again when he suddenly heard a slightly hoarse voice: "The accounts of the silk and satin village are settled every three months, and the rest of the bills should be settled together with the accounts on the day of settlement. Yes, you turn back."
The pen in He Lingshan's hand nearly rolled to the ground, and he hurriedly cast a glance to the opposite side.The four accountants stood up at some point, and Wen Mingyu, who was wearing a cloak and had his chin propped up with one hand, was standing by the seat opposite him.The light reflected the smiling eyes of the other party, the smile seemed to be teasing, but also seemed to be a hint of intimacy.Like a child who made a fool of himself in front of adults, He Lingshan threw the account book in his hand on the table with a blushing face.
"Why didn't you remind me when you came back?" On the contrary, He Lingshan had the courage to strike first.
Wen Mingyu took off the cloak and handed it to a girl who came in to make tea, while she lazily laid back in the seat and said, "You are so serious, how can I bother you?"
While talking, he fetched the account book that He Lingshan had aligned, and lowered his eyes to read it.Seeing that he was looking at it so seriously, He Lingshan suddenly lost his mind and wanted to snatch the things from the other party.This idea is nonsensical, he did these things, originally he was going to hand them over to Wen Mingyu for inspection, even if the results were not perfect, it was not a serious problem.
Wen Mingyu quickly turned to the last page, and before closing the ledger, he took a look at He Lingshan's face.He Lingshan's jaw was tense, and his expression seemed calm, but when the eyes of the two collided, the young man straightened his back, opened his eyes a little, and stared at him motionlessly.Wen Mingyu almost laughed, the child put on a posture of accepting the admonition humbly, but tried to ask him for rewards with his eyes. Only when he wanted to ask for something, He Lingshan would show a rare innocence.
He was not in a hurry to comment, but turned to the accountants and servants behind him and said, "You all go out."
The accountants nodded repeatedly, and one of them boldly asked: "Third Master, is there any place where I need to be summoned later?"
"Let's all go back." Wen Mingyu sent them away in a rare way: "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
The rest were released by the master, and obeyed without saying a word.When there were only two people left in the room, Wen Mingyu stood up a little and said to He Lingshan, "Come here."
He Lingshan was waiting for an evaluation, but he didn't expect such a sentence.He was stunned, but got up obediently, walked to Wen Mingyu's side, and looked at her with some doubts.
Wen Mingyu laughed and stroked his hair like a kitten or puppy.He Lingshan was full of ignorance, and it took him a long time to think about it. The other party's actions were equivalent to implicit praise, which was affirmation of him.However, He Lingshan was unexpectedly not as happy as he imagined. He had already got what he wanted, but his mood was no different from before he didn't get it.
Fortunately, he quickly figured out what was going on. He Lingshan stared at the person in front of him and said, "I don't want this."
The other party raised an eyebrow at him, as if asking, "Then what do you want?"He didn't speak, just looked at Wen Mingyu, who smiled again, and said: "You, you don't want to be serious all day long."
After finishing speaking, he took He Lingshan's hand, pulled the young man to bend down, and then lightly kissed He Lingshan's forehead.
He Lingshan thought silently, he probably couldn't be more boring in front of others.But if you behave like this with your sweetheart, then there is no joy to speak of.Besides, Wen Mingyu always blamed him verbally, but never really rejected herself, which shows that those blames were not all sincere.It's not that Wen Mingyu intentionally duplicity, he grew up in a typical old-fashioned big family, with a father who was too strict and unreasonable. The discipline Wen Mingyu received since he was a child made him restrained and serious. He is destined not to express his feelings as freely as himself freely.
His eyes accidentally slipped to the stack of ledgers, and he asked worriedly: "Is there really nothing wrong with me?"
As soon as Wen Mingyu made a deliberate expression, seeing He Lingshan clenched his hands tightly, he couldn't bear to tease him any more, and replied: "No, but—" He changed the subject, and waited until He Lingshan's expression changed again before he could hold back. He smiled and said: "If you want to continue tomorrow, you can let me teach you"
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, He Lingshan showed a disapproving attitude, thinking that the other party's work is already very heavy on weekdays, and he has just recovered from a cold, so it is really not appropriate to overwork.But after so many thoughts turned in his head, the only thing he said was: "No, I'll bring it to you after I finish it."
Wen Mingyu said, "It's almost the Chinese New Year. Even the coolies on the street can take a break at this time. Don't I have the right to rest?"
There is no need to say everything between them, and the words and sentences omitted by one of them must be guessed clearly by the other.He Lingshan vaguely knew that [-]% of their tacit understanding could be said to be a sympathy between lovers, and the other [-]% was all due to their similar temperaments.This discovery made He Lingshan both happy and sad. He hooked Wen Mingyu's finger and shook it silently a few times.
"I went to meet your good friend yesterday, did you have a good time?" Wen Mingyu understood his inadvertent coquetry, and took the initiative to bring up another topic: "I just came back this evening, and you are as good as before we parted."
He Lingshan simply sat down on the carpet, lying between Wen Mingyu's knees, and told him about Jiang Li's current situation, including his gratitude to the siblings.In the end, he couldn't help pouring out the little annoyance before, and asked Wen Mingyu about Jiang Li's experience in the past three years, wondering what had affected his friend and made him care about it. identities between them.
"It's better to say 'who' rather than 'what'." Wen Mingyu said with a smile: "Your friend is naturally responsible, and he never thinks of making such a comparison. Only one thing will not make him change his temperament. Maybe he just made some kind of good friend, and the person he made just happened to have a different status from him, which made him pay attention to this inequality."
He Lingshan was startled when he heard it, and felt that Wen Mingyu's guess was correct.He thought of the photo in Jiang Li's home, the sadness and melancholy that flashed in Jiang Li's expression yesterday, could it be because of the young and beautiful woman with an arrogant smile in the photo?
Wen Mingyu's fingers fluttered repeatedly, slowly combing the hair at the back of his head.He Lingshan was closing his eyes in comfort, when he suddenly heard the other party ask softly, "Are you sleepy?"
"Huh?" He Lingshan raised his head slightly, caught Wen Mingyu's gaze from bottom to top, and was immediately taken aback.Maybe even Wen Mingyu himself didn't realize how obvious the affection in his eyes was at this moment, when did he start to let go of his guard against the person around him, and let all those unspoken thoughts be unconsciously exposed in front of He Lingshan.He Lingshan looked at him for a while, and soon his chest was aching from the rapid and heavy beating of his heart. He hurriedly buried his face in the other's knee, shaking his head a few times indiscriminately.
"Go to rest earlier." Wen Mingyu pinched his ear lightly, suddenly seemed to remember something, and said, "Yongtang will be back tomorrow, I don't know if he has become more sensible in the past few years .”
He Lingshan is very clear about what kind of ignorance Wen Mingyu is talking about.Thinking of this person now, he no longer has any strange emotions, he just lay lazily on his stomach and said, "I won't argue with him."
"I know." Wen Mingyu said in a low voice.Their eyes met, as if they had reached some secret agreement, both of them laughed tacitly.
He passed by the outer hall, but did not see Wen Mingyu's car at the door, 360 days a year, the other party would be late for [-] days.On the contrary, the butler got the report from his servants, and soon came to the door and handed He Lingshan a bunch of keys to He Lingshan who was drinking tea.
