The inn was in disrepair for a long time, and there was a musty smell everywhere. Even if I put on my own incense bedding, I couldn't hide the loneliness and decay.
Lin Jinrong and Lu Yan were lying side by side on the bed, and softly told him about the past: "That year, we went to Qingzhou to celebrate my aunt's birthday... When we passed by, Wu Xiang had to compete with me in playing the xun, and we had to decide who was better.
It was autumn at that time, the moon was very full, and there were many mosquitoes."
Lu was silent and said, "Of course the moon is full in autumn."
Lin Jinrong smiled: "Just now I saw the moonlight outside the window, and suddenly I remembered this incident. Then I was shocked that so many years have passed. But the original scene is still vivid in my mind, as if it was yesterday.
"
Just listen to Lu Yan bite his words and say again: "The moon in autumn is naturally very round."
Lin Jinrong felt a lot of sourness from it and couldn't help laughing: "You don't want to know who loses and who wins?"
Lu Yan said flatly: "You don't have to think about it, you must have lost."
Lin Jinrong turned over and lay on the pillow, looking at Lu Yan with the moonlight coming in from the window, and stretched out her hand to trace his beautiful features: "How did you know?"
Lu Yan glanced at her lazily and said lightly: "Only those who lose will never forget it. If you don't believe it, just ask Wu Xiang. He must have forgotten what happened." At this point, he thought of the golden branch again.
Wearing a white jade plum blossom hairpin, she couldn't help but feel angry, but asked Lin Jinrong: "You said Wu Xiang has such high vision, what kind of strange woman will he marry in the future? An ordinary woman must not be worthy of him."
Lin Jinrong thought for a while and said seriously: "Not necessarily. People like him are rebellious and arrogant. Earlier, he said that he wanted to take care of his family so that he could marry a noble girl after high school, but he fell into the trap.
He has never married, and he is still alone now, which shows that in his heart, the opinions of his family and worldly views are not important. Perhaps, he just likes the other person, and does not ask how great the other person is.
.Maybe he has someone in his heart? I haven’t seen him for many years, and I don’t know how he is doing now.”
"Of course he is good." Lu Yan covered her with a thin quilt and said in a muffled voice: "I was crying so hard just now, but in the next moment, I am worried about others. I am not in a hurry to get a wife myself.
, why are you, an outsider, so anxious?"
Lin Jinrong laughed secretly in his heart, but still said seriously: "You are really good at wronging people. You are clearly asking me what kind of strange woman Wu Xiang will marry in the future. I am just answering your words. How?
So I am anxious? Even if I am really anxious for him, he is still my cousin and your good friend. I am just a matchmaker. Can't I care about his life-long events? "
Lu Yan was speechless and decided not to continue to argue with her about this topic. Instead, he said, "Stop talking about this. Let me ask you, why were you crying just now?"
Lin Jinrong said half truthfully: "You don't know? I was rejected by others and became angry. Lu Erlang, if you treat me like this, you will regret it in the future."
"It's obviously you who tormented me and blamed everything on me." Lu Yan firmly refused to admit that he was really shaken the moment he woke up. He only half-closed his eyes and held Lin Jinrong's hand in his palm.
He rubbed his clothes hard twice and whispered: "I know you are not. What are you afraid of? I told you that it was just a dream. If it doesn't work, let's go home and go to Pingji Temple to do a ritual.
Bar."
Didn't he not believe in gods and Buddhas? He had told her clearly before that she could blame the gods if she didn't speak nonsense. She didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, but she couldn't disrespect them. But that year, she had an abortion and had a big quarrel with him at the Snow Pavilion.
After a fight, after telling him that he wanted to reconcile, before going to the capital to prepare for the exam, he truly and sincerely made a wish under the Buddha statue in Pingji Temple. Thinking about the past, Lin Jinrong felt a little excited, "
"Uh-huh," he made a sound, turned over, hugged Lu Yan's arm tightly, and said vaguely: "Let's talk about it later. I'm sleepy, go to sleep. If neither of us has energy when we wake up tomorrow morning, we will probably have nothing."
I feel uncomfortable being watched by others."
Lu Yan was a little ready to move, but he held it back, pushed her gently, and whispered: "It's so hot, don't get so close to me."
Lin Jinrong clung to him with more and more malice: "This bed is so big. If you don't like the heat, go find your seventh brother as soon as possible. I think it will be cooler if you squeeze in with him."
It's better to go early than to go there in the middle of the night. What's the point of running away in the middle of the night to hide something? Lu Yan wouldn't do such a thing. After a while, Lin Jinrong fell asleep, but he couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned for a long time before he fell into a drowsy sleep.
The dream was a mess. One moment I saw Lin Jinrong crying, another moment I saw Yi Lang holding his neck and looking for his mother, and another moment I saw the river rushing and snow falling all over the sky. He walked tiredly on the snow, as if he was in a hurry and wanted to go fast.
But he always couldn't walk fast, and his legs felt as heavy as lead. But why he was in such a hurry, he didn't know.
The morning light penetrated the window lattice, and a few crisp bird calls woke Lu Yan up from his dream. He subconsciously reached out to touch Lin Jinrong beside him, but found nothing. He was startled, sat up suddenly, and looked around for Lin Jinrong.
, but saw a soft knock on the door, Lin Jinrong came in neatly dressed, holding a bunch of jasmine in his hand, smiling: "Can't you sleep? Why do you sleep so deeply?"
Lu Yan fell back again, lying on his back on the bed, looking at Lin Jinrong's magnolia-white cheeks, and said softly: "You tortured me so much that I had nightmares. If you touch me, I'll be covered in cold sweat."
"It's okay." Lin Jinrong put her hand on his forehead: "Get up, mother and seventh brother are asking for water. I have arranged for breakfast to be prepared."
Lu Yan reached out to her: "Let me hug you."
Lin Jinrong put Jasmine on the pillow and lay on his chest quietly and obediently. It wasn't until the footsteps of Yingying and others could be heard outside that she found clothes to change with him. After Lu Yan finished washing, he suddenly remembered something and said seriously:
"Ah Rong, when you get to Pingzhou City, don't lift the curtain and look around."
Lin Jinrong said hurriedly: "What?"
Lu Yan warned her sternly: "If I tell you not to look at it, don't look at it. If you look at it, you will have nightmares."
The carriage arrived at Pingzhou City at sunset.
While queuing up outside the city gate, waiting to be checked into the city, Lin Jinrong listened to the low and earnest chatter outside. Lin Jinrong couldn't help but opened the curtain a crack, and saw under the bloody setting sun, hanging high above the blue-grey city wall.
The rows of heads with blurred faces were spinning when the wind blew. Even though they were so high and so far away, she could still clearly smell the strong smell of blood and putrefaction.
Cherry suddenly let out a low cry, her face suddenly turned as white as snow, her eyes widened in panic, and she couldn't recover for a long time.
Lu Yan quickly rode over, frowned and scolded in a low voice: "What are you looking at? Put down the curtain quickly!"
Lin Jinrong looked back at Yi Lang, who was sleeping soundly in Pan's arms, and silently lowered the curtain. He never wanted to open the curtain again. Dou'er only took a quick glance at it, but he didn't see it clearly, but he could see it from Lin Jinrong's side.
With Cherry, Lu Yan saw some clues in his reaction, and thoughtfully poured a glass of water for Lin Jinrong: "Grandma, drink some water."
The water is clear water, and it is clear and bright in the white porcelain tea cup. If it were replaced with other colored soups at this time, Lin Jinrong would not be able to drink it, so she patted Dou'er's hand gratefully and poured the water away.
Drink it all in one gulp.
After a while, the carriage drove into the city gate. Lu Yan and Lin Jinrong sent Mrs. Tao and Lin Shenzhi to the Lin family. They went in to meet Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, Mr. Lin and others, and talked about the chaos at that time.
The matter of heightening and strengthening the courtyard wall was discussed in detail. Mrs. Tao listened to Lin Jinrong's advice and was willing to pay for the help, but Mrs. Lin had no intention of asking her to pay extra. He only told Lin Jinrong and Lu Yan: "I have been out for so long.
If you are pregnant at home, please go back quickly and don’t tell anyone."
Lin Jinrong and Lu Yan said goodbye together and returned to the Lu Mansion.
When Lin Yuzhen saw Yi Lang, she screamed with love, pulling her closer to see if he was fatter or thinner, whiter or darker. Lu Jianxin sat high on the chair and said calmly: "Is your uncle's illness getting better? Everyone at home has
good?"
Lin Jinrong replied: "It's much better if I go back to my father-in-law. Everything is fine at home." After a pause, he went back to his usual greeting: "How are my father-in-law and mother-in-law? How is everything at home?"
"Well." Lu Jianxin was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The family is not in a good situation. They were robbed by thieves during the war. Your second uncle and second aunt were very sad. They felt that it was you who had brought trouble to the family."
Lin Jinrong had nothing to say, so he just lowered his eyes and listened. Lu Jianxin, however, stopped talking and said nothing.
Lu Yan interrupted: "Father, my grandmother asked me to take Yilang to Rongjingju to have dinner with her old man."
Lu Jianxin then said: "Go." Then he took a look at Lin Jinrong and said word by word: "You also come from a scholarly family and are literate. You must understand the ideals. I only have one sentence to say to you."
I give it to you so that you can take care of yourself."
Lin Jinrong and Lu Yan quietly exited together.
The gap from Qingzhou to Pingzhou was too big. Lu Yan was afraid that Lin Jinrong would be sad, so he had to comfort her secretly: "Don't be sad, I finally figured it out. Peace of mind naturally cools down, and freedom is only in the heart. The only way to live a real life is
It's just the two of us. If we keep being patient, it will be fine when the period of filial piety is over."
Lin Jinrong looked up at the courtyard in the night and whispered: "Do you know what I thought when I saw that row of heads today?"
Speaking of this, Lu Yan became angry: "Didn't I tell you a long time ago not to look around? You always turn a deaf ear to my words! I see that you are not usually a person who likes to watch fun, why are you so disobedient? This time
Fortunately, I have a nightmare and have to think wildly."
"I will never have nightmares again." Lin Jinrong said quietly: "I am thinking that living is the best. Only when you are alive can you hate and love. If you die, there will really be nothing. So I am not sad.
,real."
Lu remained silent for a moment and whispered: "It's good that you think so."
