One hundred and ninetieth chapters road encounter acquaintances
The He family has been in a lot of trouble recently by their legitimate son. After learning that Lin Wanwan has acquired the status of a township monarch, He Wenyu believes that she is worthy of the position of his family's head wife and refuses to continue discussing marriage with the Xiao family of Nanlanling.
Because the elders in his family were opposed to it, he even took the initiative to find a matchmaker privately. But the matchmakers working in Qiantang are not stupid. Who would really listen to the instructions of a playboy in serious matters?
Because He Miao was restless at home, and because Lin Wanwan was injured, she hated Lin Wanwan to death. She believed that everything was Lin Wanwan's fault, and wrote a fierce letter to Lin Wanwan, scolding her shameless behavior.
.
Apart from Xiao Chong's letter, Lin Wanwan had never received a second letter from anyone in the Tang Dynasty. She still had some strange emotions when she received He Miao's letter.
Just looking at the content, she scoffed.
This unruly aristocratic lady thought that the world revolved around her. It was simply inexplicable that she could be blamed for her brother's disorderly hair and infatuation.
To show her disdain, Lin Wanwan did not waste any time in replying to her letter. Instead, she bought a native dog from Modern Online and asked the errand boy to deliver it to her. She also gave her a message: "I met a salesman in Fangshi.
I'm selling this little milk dog. The merchant said that this dog is good at catching mice and I gave it to Sanniang. I think you will like it."
The catchphrase "A dog stalks a mouse and meddles in its own business" comes from "The Biography of Heroes of Sons and Daughters" written by Wen Kang, a writer of the Qing Dynasty, which was still a thousand years before the Tang Dynasty!
Naturally, He Miao could not understand Lin Wanwan's bad taste, so she received the puppy for no apparent reason. She thought that Lin Wanwan was apologizing to her family by sending the puppy, and she was a little happy.
After Lin Wanwan learned about He Miao's reaction to the boy's reply, she was speechless. There was indeed a deep cultural generation gap between ancient people and modern people!
But then I thought about it, and Lin Wanwan was happy again. Isn't this the favorite way of scolding people in ancient times? If you scold you, you still don't understand, and you will feel a sense of cultural and IQ superiority!
Ancient literati love to quote each other's scriptures and make complaints about each other, and it is better if the other party cannot understand them thoroughly.
Regardless of what happened to He Miao, Lin Wanwan unexpectedly met an outstanding old acquaintance while shopping in the market today.
Although there are people coming and going in the East City, and Xiao Chong is only wearing a scholar's uniform that is not old, but no matter where he appears, he will passively attract all the surrounding light sources, and it is difficult for others to ignore him.
"Cousin, what a coincidence, why are you also in Qiantang? Isn't the county magistrate very busy?" Lin Wanwan handed the horse to Kunlun and walked slowly to Xiao Chong's side.
Xiao Chong turned around when he heard the voice, looked down at Lin Wanwan and said, "Mr. Anle Township, you are well. Speaking of which, the appearance of a certain person here is related to you. It is precisely to spread good luck to the Qiantang County Magistrate."
Lin Wanwan was curious: "Xiangrui? Sweet potato?"
Xiao Chong said: "No. Have you forgotten the seeds you gave me last winter?"
Lin Wanwan suddenly said: "Oh, Potato!"
Xiao Chong smiled and nodded: "The yield per mu is so high, which is another auspicious sign. It's early for me to take credit for you."
Lin Wanwan smiled and said: "Not too early, not too early, just right. If the timing hadn't been so good, I might have had to work hard to get rid of that rotten peach blossom."
Xiao Chong smiled and said nothing, and did not ask what the meaning of rotten peach blossoms was.
Lin Wanwan naturally had no intention of explaining, but looking at Xiao Chong's half-smiling expression, she suddenly stood still, pondered for a moment, looked at him and said: "That's not right, cousin, the people in Linjiazhuang don't know where my maternal family lives.
, wouldn’t it be you who showed the angel the way?”
Xiao Chong smiled and said: "After the angels stepped into the territory of Luan County, they were naturally guided by someone."
Lin Wanwan looked at Xiao Chong steadily and said, "Cousin wouldn't have known that someone from the He family was coming to take me as a concubine, right?"
Xiao Chong did not answer, but said calmly: "With the status of Anle Township Lord, my cousin will have much greater freedom whether she is married or single. Congratulations to my cousin."
Lin Wanwan smiled softly and said: "Haha."
Xiao Chong's eyes stayed on her face for a moment and suddenly asked: "When will my cousin return to Luan County?"
Lin Wanwan replied: "If nothing else happens, my brothers will sail to pick me up the day after tomorrow."
Xiao Chong nodded: "I wonder if it is convenient for my cousin to take a certain journey? I will go back the day after tomorrow."
"Okay!" Lin Wanwan naturally agreed.
"My cousin is coming to Qiantang for a long time this time. How was your Lantern Festival?"
Lin Wanwan said with a hard-to-speak expression: "Don't mention it. I spent three days with Mr. Sun to save lives and heal the wounded. I stepped on and injured several people while putting out lanterns."
"My cousin, it's hard work." Xiao Chong said, "The Lantern Festival has always been the most accident-prone and busiest time for the government, and I think it's also the time for doctors."
Lin Wanwan shrugged and said, "That's right! Especially in a big city with a curfew, it's rare to have a few carnival days. It would be weird if everyone didn't go crazy."
Xiao Chong agreed with a faint smile.
After saying a few more words, Lin Wanwan was about to say goodbye and leave. At this moment, there was a sudden noise nearby. A group of people moved forward quickly. It was obvious that something lively was happening over there. Lin Wanwan and Xiao Chong were forced to push aside.
On the wall of a tea shop.
Lin Wanwan looked over curiously. Huanong had caught Lin Wanwan's eye and ran to find out the news. Shuqi quietly stood in front of Xiao Chong, separating the chaotic crowd from Xiao Chong. Kunlun also led his horse over to protect Lin Wanwan behind him.
After a while, Huanong squeezed back against the current and said to Lin Wanwan excitedly: "Madam, the front teeth have set up a high platform to openly sell a beautiful music girl! I heard the people around me talking, that music girl is still from the Changshi Mansion
She played it on the high platform now. She plays the harp music very well! It’s as good as Xiao Ming’s mansion playing the piano!”
Xiao Chong's face showed no emotion when he heard this, but he frowned and said, "Nonsense, how can you compare your husband to such a despicable music girl?"
That's Huanong. If another slave had said this, Shuqi would have been so angry that he would have beaten someone.
Huanong was drunk, winced, lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "I made a mistake, Xiao Ming Mansion is not to blame."
Xiao Chong said calmly: "It doesn't matter."
"From Chang Shi's Mansion?" Lin Wanwan repeated in surprise, then turned her head and looked up at Xiao Chong, "Can it still be like this?"
Xiao Chong said calmly: "Yes, but only rarely."
Lin Wanwan couldn't help but be disappointed when she saw that he clearly knew the inside story, but he was precious about his words and refused to tell her any gossip.
So she leaned into Huanong's ear and said a few words to her. Huanong nodded frequently, then turned around and got into the crowd again.
Xiao Chong lowered his eyes and looked at Lin Wanwan and said, "Cousin, are you interested in the harp?"
Lin Wanwan said: "Huanong said she played so well, and I did become a little interested. Anyway, I have nothing to do."
