Chapter 203 Old Man, Old Man

"Who is it?" Chunbai came over curiously to see what was written on the paste, but Lin Huazhi quickly lowered his hand. Chunbai didn't see who the name was on it.

Looking up, Chunbai noticed that Lin Huazhi's face was a little stiff and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with your face? You won't be sick again." And Lin Huazhi squeezed her mouth and said nothing.

I don't know how long it took before Lin Huazhi whispered, "It's Yan Shaobai."

Ah? Chunbai lost his voice and shouted, "He... why did he come here?"

Lin Huazhi smiled bitterly, and she also wanted to know how Yan Shaobai went to Beijing? However, it is this time.

"What should I do now?" Chunbai asked quickly.

He lowered his head and took another look at the worship post in his hand. After a long time, Lin Huazhi said, "I'll go and have a look."

At the gate of the courtyard, there was a carriage parked. At first glance, I saw Chen Dali, who was waiting beside him. Lin Huazhi came forward and said, "Since Mr. Yan has arrived in his humble house, please sit in the room."

The carriage curtain was raised. When he saw Yan Shaobai, Lin Huazhi had some wonderful fluctuations in his heart.

"Flower branches." I don't know how long it took before Yan Shaobai called her gently.

"Sit in the room." Lin Huazhi didn't say much and led Yan Shaobai into the yard.

Step into the courtyard door and see Lin Huazhi walking towards the main house, Yan Shaobai said, "Huazhi, I just want to talk to you."

Lin Huazhi turned around and didn't understand. What did Yan Shaobai mean? She had to stand still and look at Yan Shaobai quietly.

But after waiting for a long time, she didn't see Yan Shaobai open his mouth. Lin Huazhi felt that Yan Shaobai's eyes contained too many things that she didn't understand. She said, "When did Mr. Yan arrive in Beijing?"

"I arrived the day before yesterday, and there were some locks to deal with, so I came to see you today. Huazhi..." Yan Shaobai took a step forward and got closer to her. "I heard that you are sick, are you better?"

tapped her head, and Lin Huazhi was a little puzzled: "It's much better, but how do you know I'm sick?"

"Yesterday evening, I saw Xing'er coming out of the pharmacy and heard the sitting doctor say that you still had a cough." Yan Shaobai opened his mouth indifferently and looked careless, but Lin Huazhi still recognized the concern in this sentence.

Lin Huazhi didn't ask how he saw Xing'er, and how could he learn from the doctor that she still had a cough at night. After a moment of silence, Lin Huazhi asked again, "Did Cui Ting come with you? Where do you live now?

"We live with her eldest brother now."

Hearing living in Cui Yuan's place, Lin Huazhi smiled and didn't say anything. She really didn't know how to open her mouth. After squeaking for a long time, she remembered that she had not poured hot tea for Yan Shaobai.

"Sit in the room and I'll pour you tea."

Yan Shaobai stopped her: "Huazhi, don't be busy, I'm going back. I... just want to see you."

Lin Huazhi's eyes widened, but he didn't say a word. In fact, she had something to say to Yan Shaobai. She wanted to ask about Jiang Dongcheng and asked him why Cui Yuan changed his mind, and how he took the dyeing workshop back. But she didn't know how to ask and how to speak.

"Then take your time." Thinking about it, she only said that.

Yan Shaobai looked at her for a long time, and then he hummed gently.

Lin Huazhi did not go out to see Yan Shaobai off. She called Xing'er and asked Xing'er to send Yan Shaobai out of the alley. Here, Chunbai leaned out of the room, looked at her face, slowly stepped forward and said, "Are you all right?"

Lin Huazhi shook her head. Chunbai glanced outside the courtyard and asked a question, "Does Yan Shaobai like you?"

Do you like it? Lin Huazhi didn't want to think about it. A long time ago, she knew in her heart that whether Yan Shaobai liked it or not, it was irrelevant to her. What can the continuous repetition of many things mean? After all, they are not the same person, and they will not come together.

When Chunbai saw that Lin Huazhi did not answer, he knew that this was not a good topic, but he couldn't help saying, "If you talk about it, the young master is the best for you. In fact, you will be happy only if you find someone who is good to yourself."

Lin Huazhi looked back at Chunbai and then laughed. After a long time, she whispered, "Who said no!"

......

Yan Shaobai returned to Cui's house before dark.

When the servants on the porter saw his carriage, they trotted forward and put on the curtain and said respectfully, "The young man came back. Miss just sent someone over to ask, so let someone hand it over." There are a little people running quickly into the inner courtyard on the side.

Yan Shaobai hummed, got off the horse, turned around and picked up a food box from the car, and slowly walked into the house.

In the east courtyard, Cui Yuanzheng and Cui Ting were talking. Hearing the mother outside the door say that Yan Shaobai was back, Cui Ting subconsciously breathed a long sigh of relief.

Cui Yuan saw this and asked, "Little sister, what's your expression?"

Cui Ting was slightly stunned and said hurriedly, "It's nothing. I don't think it's getting dark. If Shaobai doesn't come back, I won't leave a meal for him." Speaking of this, Cui Ting wanted to stand up but couldn't help laughing.

Cui Yuan looked carefully at Cui Ting's face and said slowly, "Men, their hearts are always a little big, and sometimes they are uneasy, as long as they don't forget the way home. You are a quick mother. Sometimes don't care too much, so as not to hurt your body.

After listening to Cui Yuan's words, Cui Ting didn't say anything for a while before saying, "Brother, I'm fine. You don't have to worry." His face was soft, with a slight smile.

Cui Yuan sighed softly in his heart. Why didn't Cui Ting understand something?

Yan Shaobai was stopped by Cui Yuan at the corridor.

"Brother." Yan Shaobai did not call Cui Yuan an adult. Seeing that Cui Yuan seemed to have something to say to him, he stood aside.

Cui Yuan looked down at the food box in Yan Shaobai's hand and couldn't help asking, "What is this?"

Yan Shaobai said, "It's the eight-treasure cake of the Four Seasons Building. I've been inquiring about it for a long time. It is said that the eight-treasure cake in the Four Seasons Building is the best. I went to taste it in the afternoon. There are crushed dried apricots and plum meat in it. It's moderately sweet and sour. Ting's best to bring some of it back specially."

Cui Yuan nodded and asked inadvertently, "It's rare that you have such a heart. I heard from the people below that you went out early in the morning. Where have you been?" Are there enough people around you? Tomorrow I will send a few little mothers over. What do you and your little sister want, or where are you going? It's good to have someone familiar to wait on you.

Yan Shaobai followed Cui Yuan's words and said, "The eldest brother has a lot of things to do these days. I dare not disturb the eldest brother. I just walk around at will."

Cui Yuan couldn't hear anything from Yan Shao's vernacular. It was difficult to ask again, so he had to say, "My little sister hasn't eaten yet. Go back and stay with her."

Yan Shaobai answered, but only took two steps, and Cui Yuan stopped him behind him.

Looking back, I only heard Cui Yuan ask, "Is your son-in-law interested in becoming an official?"

being an official? Yan Shaobai was stunned for a moment and shook his head and said, "If you don't have an official career, please don't worry about it." After saying that, he walked through the corridor with the food box, turned the corner door, and entered the courtyard where he and Cui Ting lived.

Cui Yuan stood still and was not in a hurry to leave, but looked at Yan Shaobai's lost direction and half narrowed his eyes. After a while, the housekeeper quietly came up and whispered a few words. Cui Yuan suddenly turned around and asked uncertainly, "Yan Shaobai went to the south of the city?" Can you see it clearly?"

"If you go back to the adult, Mr. Yan went to the south of the city after going to the Four Seasons Building, but he only stayed in Comb Square for half an hour and returned home."

Hearing that Yan Shaobai went to the comb workshop, Cui Yuan couldn't help frowning. Yan Shaobai should have gone to see that person, right?

I haven't seen Cui Yuan speak for a long time, and the housekeeper carefully asked, "Your Excellency, do you want to send someone to inquire again?"

After a long time, Cui Yuan waved his hand and the housekeeper retreated quietly. Rubbing his eyebrows, he had a faint headache.

As soon as Yan Shaobai entered the yard, he saw Cui Shuang coming out of the house with a basin.

"Master, you're back!" Cui Shuang handed the basin on his hand to the girl waiting beside him and turned around to open the door curtain for Yan Shaobai.

"Has the lady had a rest?"

"I've been waiting for the master to come back. I just cleaned my hands and face." Cui Shuang replied honestly.

Yan Shaobai nodded, went up the stone steps, handed the food box to Cui Shuang, and asked her to heat the eight-treasure cake in the small kitchen in the courtyard and bring it to Cui Ting.

Cui Shuang reached out and took it. At the moment when Yan Shaobai entered the door, Cui Shuang lowered his voice and asked, "Master, have you seen Sister Huazhi today?"

Yan Shaobai paused and turned his head to look at Cui Shuang, with no joy on his face.

Cui Shuang lowered his head and couldn't hear Yan Shaobai speak for a long time. He took a small step back, saluted him, and quietly retreated.

Looking at Cui Shuang's back, Yan Shaobai couldn't help sighing gently.

At this time, Cui Ting's voice came from the room: "Shaobai, you are back! Hurry up and enter the house."

Yan Shaobai suddenly felt a headache.

......

On Lin Huazhi's side, Zhang Ziqing sent a carriage to pick her up to Zhangfu in the afternoon.

Before he got on the carriage, Lin Huazhi did not forget to confess to Chunbai: "When you get to Zhang Ziqing, you can't mention Yan Shaobai."

Chunbai smiled and said, "I know, even if I say it, what do you think the young master will do to you?"

Lin Huazhi didn't tell Chunbai that Zhang Ziqing is a ghost now. On the surface, she pretends not to know anything, but in private, she often plays tricks on her, which makes her laugh and cry.

When she arrived at Zhang's house, Zhang Ziqing had been waiting outside the side door early. Seeing Lin Huazhi get out of the carriage, she happily pulled her and smiled, "Huazhi, Huazhi, why did you come? I've been waiting for you for a long time, and my stomach is hungry."

Lin Huazhi stared at Zhang Ziqing and pointed to the food box in Chunbai's hand and said, "Go to Chunbai. Her hands are full of your favorite shortbread. Yesterday, my mother prepared them for you early."

Zhang Ziqing nodded, ignored the eyes of others, and pulled Lin Huazhi into the hospital.

Lin Huazhi sent Zhang Ziqing to eat. She first went to see Old Master Zhang and talked about some details. Finally, she asked about the Sun family who will go to Beijing tomorrow.

The old man said, "Sun Zhengming and Cui Yuan had some unpleasant things in those years. The specific reason is unknown. In recent years, I haven't heard any contact between the two, but I can be sure that Sun Zhengming must be happy to see Cui Yuan's discomfort."

When Lin Huazhi heard this, he couldn't help laughing. In other words, the old master was ready to let the Sun family be the first bird and form an opposition to Cui Yuan on the surface.

The old man asked Lin Yuyang about his studies again. Lin Huazhi knew that Lord Meng would only accept Lin Yuyang as a disciple, which was also because of the relationship between the old master.

Lin Huazhi said, "The eldest princess sent someone to send a post and asked Lin Yuyang to go to Xuanhuaguan to participate in the poetry meeting tomorrow. I have the intention to let him show his face at the poetry meeting, but I'm afraid Lord Meng's side is not easy to tell."

The old man waved his hand: "Don't worry about Lao Meng. Let Yuyang perform as much as he can tomorrow, but it's a pity that he won't see Cui Yuan tomorrow."

Lin Huazhi laughed and said, "I heard that Cui Yuan has been busy receiving officials at all levels these days. Even if he has the intention to see the eldest princess tomorrow, he is afraid that he will be powerless."

Mr. Zhang laughed and said, "Little Huazhi, you are not kind. I'm afraid you are thinking about what to do tomorrow."

Lin Huazhi shook his head: "Cui Yuan's city is too deep. I can't see that man. It's just that Cui Yuan has always loved the eldest princess, so..."

The old man looked at her sideways: "But I heard that he was interested in you."

Lin Huazhi couldn't help sweating coldly. Who said that?

Before she could speak, the old man said, "In the morning, he asked me something to come down to see me."

Lin Huazhi looked up at the old master and waited quietly.

"I want to marry you. Little flower branch, will you get married?
