Chapter 314 Encounter
Today is Mother's Day, Xiaoyi wishes the mothers of all book friends a happy, healthy and long life, and I wish the book friends who have become mothers happy.
I don't know when it started to rain. The raindrops hit the window lattice, making a lonely tapping sound. Lu Yan slept unsteadily all night and woke up when he heard the sound.
He looked at the dark tent with his eyes open for a while, with a small smile on his lips, moved his hands and feet gently, leaned against Lin Jinrong, clung to her, hugged her waist, and blew in her ear.
Lin Jinrong was sleeping soundly and pushed him with some boredom. Lu Yan simply took a gentle bite on her shoulder, and the tip of her tongue scraped back and forth at the ** of her earlobe. Sure enough, Lin Jinrong trembled and sighed softly: "Is it raining again?"
"Hmm." Lu Yan took her under him and buried his head and kissed her all the time.
Lin Jinrong closed his eyes slightly and whispered, "How long will you stay in the old house? I don't know how the beans are packing their luggage.
Since I came to the old house to worship my ancestors a few days ago, it has been raining, suddenly big, sometimes small, and very lingering. This kind of weather is not suitable for going on the road. In addition, there are always countless people in Pingzhou City who know or don't know to treat guests. Lu Yan can't stand drinking every day. Master Lu is very distressed. After Bu Ji chose the travel period, he simply let the young couple stay here for a few more days and hide. After going back I'll leave the day after tomorrow.
Lu Yan likes the cleanliness of the old house and likes to talk to the same people, but Lin Jinrong doesn't like it here. He just feels depressed and depressed. In addition, there is a Song family who basically doesn't show up, but makes people feel ubiquitous. Every time a cat runs over the roof of the wall, she feels that she has a pair of eyes staring at her in the corner.
Finally, there was a glimmer of light outside. Lu Yan took a long breath and said, "If you don't like to stay here, we'll pack up and go back in the afternoon."
Lin Jinrong straightened his scattered hair aside and complained, "I always feel that it's too narrow, too dark, too wet, and there is always an unexplained noise." Although the old house was renovated in Lu Shao's hands, it could not be changed after all.
Lu Yan opened her sweaty palm and clasped her ten fingers: "I thought the same when I was a child. Every time I go back to my old house, I feel very uncomfortable."
Lin Jinrong said, "I heard that the old house once resisted the scattered soldiers of Darong in the ancestors and saved the children of the family?"
Lu Yan said with great certainty, "Yes. Although it was just some scattered soldiers at that time, if there was no old house, or the old house was not strong, the Lu family would almost be slaughtered.
Lin Jinrong's heart moved: "If there is a sudden disaster now, what will everyone do? Lu Yan said, "There is a big bell in the southeast corner of the ancestral temple. When there is a big event, the bell rings. The old house must open the door to accept the clan."
Lin Jinrong was relieved: "It's been raining today. Let's go back tomorrow. I still have a lot to tell my third brother, and I don't worry about the luggage they pack."
Although it didn't rain when I got up the next morning, it was gloomy. Lu Yan and Lin Jinrong said hello to Song and took the bus back to Pingzhou. The road has been soaked in water for many days, and it is difficult to walk in the mud. Although the cow pulled the cart, it still took all its strength. At noon, the city wall of Pingzhou was already far away. Suddenly, it rained lightly and then turned into heavy rain. It was so big that the unobstructed driver and the accompanying longevity hats could not be covered at all. Not to mention walking, it was difficult to breathe. Lu Yan ordered people to find a home in front to hide from the rain.
I barely earned about half a mile. I saw that there was a room in the white rain and fog. The handlebar-style old man was extremely happy. He turned around and knocked on the wall of the car and shouted, "Second master, remember that there is a tea room in front of us. Let's go there to rest Warm up."
How can Lu Yan't be unreasonable: "Go quickly, let the store make some ginger soup for everyone to drink, find a place to dry clothes, and wait until the rain is light. Don't be stingy with money."
Seeing hope, not only people are in spirit, but also Niu'er and Ma'er are in spirit and try their best to move forward. Soon in front of the door, Changshou shouted a few times, and someone quickly came out in a bamboo hat, negotiated with Changshou in a low voice, and brought Changshou in.
"All blame me. If I had known it, I would have waited until the weather was clear before leaving." Lin Jinrong lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out, but he saw that the porch of the Chaliao porch was full of many horses and passers-by, and it was full of people. He knew that no matter how much money he was, it was rare to find a place to hide from the rain and drink ginger soup, so he felt a little guilty.
Lu Yan saw the scene in front of him and couldn't help sighing: "You are not the only one who has been fooled. We, Cherry and Shuangquan can hide in this car, as long as Lao Wang and Longevity have a place to hide."
Suddenly, Changshou ran out quickly and laughed and said, "Second Master, I'm lucky. Second Master Wu is also here. He also monopolized a pavilion and gave birth to a small stove. I invite you to go in and have a rest." Then I saw Wu Xiang dressed in plain blue and stood in the porch and looked in this direction. Although his face was smiling and his expression was extremely calm, he was a lot less, and he could no longer see the flying that everything was not in his eyes.
Sure enough, he was extremely concerned. Lin Jinrong couldn't help sighing secretly and looked back at Lu Yan: What should I do?"
Lu Yan said, "He always wants to see this. I'm afraid he will go to Jiangnan to take office. Since he has bumped into it, let's talk about it." So he asked the handlebar to drive the ox cart to the porch, let Changshou come over with a big umbrella, and took Lin Jinrong to the porch. Lin Jinrong stood still, the soles of the skirt were clean, and there was no rain splashed. When he looked up again, he met Wu Xiang's smile, and then pretended to be fine and said to Wu Xiang: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Erge Wu."
"Long time no see." Wu Xiang hugged his fist and saluted: "I thought I couldn't see you before I left, but I still saw you. Congratulations in advance.
Lin Jinrong had a lot to say to him, but he felt that the comforting words were not what Wu Xiang needed, nor was it suitable for her to say, so he said, "I also congratulate Wu Erge."
Lu Yan stamped the mud on the soles of his shoes and hugged Wu Xiang: "Go in and talk."
"I sent a friend out of the city. Unexpectedly, the weather was so strange that it stopped people here. I still didn't bring an oil-coated umbrella. If I hadn't been lucky enough to see this tea house, I would have died in a mess today. As soon as the clothes were dried, the shoes and socks were still trendy, so you came. Wu Xiang sat in front of the window, lowered his eyes and lifted the boiling tea soup on the small red mud stove, and slowly poured it into the coarse porcelain cup in front of Lin Jinrong and Lu Yan. "He only has this here, that's it. I burned the tea on the fire, and it smelled good to fry it like this.
Lin Jinrong hurriedly covered it in his hand: "Just clean up." But he was a little surprised: "I remember that Wu Erge used to pay great attention to diet. Why didn't he dislike it this time?" At that time, Tao took Wu Xiang to Qingzhou together, and the Wu family specially prepared a cook for Wu Xiang to follow.
Wu Xiang smiled indifferently: "People will always change. Before, you felt that something was very important. Suddenly, when you got up one morning, you felt that it was no longer important. Then he asked Lu Yan, "When is Minxing going to leave?"
"Twelfth of this month, where are you, Maohong?" Lu Yan was a little cautious.
Wu Xiang smiled and said, "I'll leave the day after tomorrow. If you are free, you might as well come and see me off.
"So urgent?" Lin Jinrong saw that although Lu Yan and Wu Xiang were trying their best to maintain this kind of closeness, they always brought some dry meaning in it. He couldn't find the original harmony again, so he had to say a few more words: "The weather is bad. Why don't you take a few more days to rest and wait for the sunny road?"
Wu Xiang said indifferently, "It's all about walking early and late. Anyway, it's a boat ride down, just along the river to see the rain scenery."
Lin Jin tolerated and endured, and whispered, "Wu Er Ge, will you go alone?" She was curious. Why didn't she see Wu Xiang talk about marriage? He has become a scholar, and there must be countless people who want to break their heads and get married. If someone accompanies him to the south of the Yangtze River and enlightens him, I'm afraid he can get better and cheer up as soon as possible.
Wu Xiang looked at her with full of concern. At first, she was stunned, and then she really laughed happily: "Thanks, Arong's kindness. Of course, I'm going alone. I want someone to accompany me, but I still need to wait for fate. I am determined to refuse to do so. Anyway, my eldest brother will be succeeded by the family.
Seeing that he really smiled, Lu Yan was also relieved: "Listen to what you mean, are you tossing at home again?"
Wu Xiang squeezed his eyes: "What do you think? My grandfather and parents didn't want to see me these two days. I just hid myself." I didn't want to talk more about this topic. I looked up at the white rain and fog outside the window and sighed, "I'm afraid the rain won't stop. Ask his family to cook wine and vegetables. I'll treat you to shelter from the rain. How about you treat me to eat and drink? I don't know what year it will be next time we get together.
If everything goes as before, this will probably be the last meeting between the three people. Lin Jinrong felt a little more sad and quickly told Cherry, "Go and ask Changshou to ask the shopkeeper to try his best to clean up a table of good wine and dishes."
In a short time, the wine and vegetables are on the table, but they are just some rural home-cooked dishes. The only jar of wine is a good wine made privately. It has been buried in the ground for ten years. The open-sealed mud wine is full of fragrance, and it makes people swallow saliva when they smell it.
Lin Jinrong wanted to avoid it, but Wu Xiang put a cup in front of her and said, "Minxing, we all grew up together, and they are also brothers and sisters. The day after tomorrow, don't let A Rong avoid this suspicion today. How about having a drink together? I don't drink alcohol on weekdays, and I'm going to give this ring today.
Lu Yan looked at Lin Jinrong. Seeing that her eyes were bright and she knew that she was good at wine, he picked up the wine jar and filled her glass with a glass: "Isn't it just a glass of wine? If I don't allow it, it will make me look stingy.
But Arong, you can't drink too much. If both of us are drunk, we have to rely on you to take care of it.
After three rounds of drinking, Lin Jinrong suddenly remembered an important thing and said with a smile, "Er Ge Wu, speaking of which, my third brother did a small business in Huating County. I'm afraid I'll ask you for more care in the future."
Wu Huan said, "Where did you do business again?"
Lin Jinrong nodded: "Yes. I heard that the treasure business there is easy to do, so I want to have a try.
Wu Xiang deliberately acted impatiently: "I know. Why is the nose so smart?
