Chapter 76 Gifts
On April 20, the 24th year of Tianchen, Mrs. Wang passed away. Lin Wan was depressed for several days and her face looked haggard. Mrs. Liu was also in a low mood and closed the door to thank guests. Lin Wan's marriage was temporarily delayed.
Come down.
In May, the weather gradually turned hotter. After Mrs. Wang was buried, Lin Wan and her daughter moved to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing. Lin Wan was in a daze for several days, but finally recovered. Grandma said that she
I will always look at her and she will live a good life!
"Girl, Er Niu just brought in two lotus flowers and said that the lotus flowers on the lake in our village have also bloomed. Can you go out for a walk?" Qiu Zi gently fanned Lin Wan and suggested softly.
Lin Wan looked at the bright sunshine outside and sniffed hard. The air was filled with the smell of earth and grass. It had rained at night, but now the sky was blue and the air was clear. The scenery outside was just right.
"What about the lotus?" Lin Wan looked away, with a hint of smile in her voice, "Bring it to me and take a look. If it looks good, put it in a bottle and send it to mother. Mother's house is too plain."
"Forsythia is looking for something to pack, I'll go and hurry her up." Qiu Zi was overjoyed, nodded quickly, stood up, picked up her skirt and ran out.
Lin Wan's eyes followed Qiu Zi's back to the door, shook her head and sighed softly. Her depressed look a few days ago probably made these girls worried.
Not long after, Forsythia came in with a small celadon vat filled with water, with green leaves floating on the water, and two delicate pink lotus flowers floating on the green leaves, which was really beautiful.
"Girl, take a look, is my fish tank good? The lotus flowers are perfect! Look, girl, doesn't it look good?" With a proud smile on her face, Forsythia hurriedly brought the lotus to Lin Wan.
He brought it over and turned it around in his hand so that Lin Wan could see it more clearly.
"It's nice to look at, but this fish tank -" Lin Wan glanced at the deep fish tank and couldn't help but laugh, "There's no need for such a deep opening, the celadon plate we have in the house is just fine."
Forsythia put the fish tank on the table, grinned and said: "Whatever, as long as it looks good!"
"Don't leave it alone, pick up this lotus flower and send it to mother!" Lin Wan got up, knocked the forsythia, and walked out of the house with a chuckle.
Mrs. Liu was chatting with several middle-aged women in the village. When she saw Lin Wan come in, a smile appeared on her pale face. Seeing the lotus in Forsythia's arms behind her, her smile became even deeper.
point.
"Is mother busy? I've disturbed some elders. I brought flowers to mother. Look, mother, the lotus is really beautiful in bloom." Lin Wan pulled Forsythia, moved her body slightly to the side, and pointed at Forsythia's bosom.
The lotus fish tank inside smiled.
"Yeah. This color makes people happy when they look at it." Mrs. Liu's eyes were gentle, and she gently stretched out her hand to pull Lin Wan to sit down. She smiled at the middle-aged women in the room and said, "This is my daughter, the sixth in the family.
."
Several middle-aged women were originally farmers. They usually did not enter the inner courtyard of the farm and had fewer opportunities to see Lin Wan. When they saw this, they couldn't help but admire her. This girl made people happy just to look at her. Her smile made her even more happy.
I feel comfortable, and the pink lotus flowers complement each other. It looks more fresh and beautiful, but I am a little thinner.
Lin Wan smiled and greeted a few people, and then told Mrs. Liu that she wanted to go out for a walk. Mrs. Liu felt relieved, knowing that Lin Wan had recovered, so she asked Forsythia and the others to follow the girl.
Lin Wan changed into light and plain clothes, without any curtains and hats. She was dressed in neat and tidy attire. She took Qiu Zi and Forsythia out and found Erniu at the door. The four of them left the village together and headed nearby.
Went to a fun and interesting place.
The view outside is wide, the sun is bright and warm, the chirping birds are heard in the ears, and the fragrance of grass and wild flowers floats on the tip of the nose. The wind gently blows over the cheeks, raising the hair. Standing outside, Lin Wan just
I feel like my whole person has come to life again.
Lin Wan raised her head slightly, shielded the sun with her hands, looked at the blue sky through the gaps between her fingertips, and whispered in her heart, "I will be fine."
By the time Lin Wan and the girl rushed back from outside Zhuangzi, the sun had already set in the horizon, and a layer of blush appeared on the sky. The sunset was brilliant and dazzling, with a bit of nostalgic beauty, and gradually darkened. Lin Wan felt as if he had let go of his heart.
As big as a boulder, he looked extremely brisk, laughing all the way into the house.
Mrs. Liu scolded Lin Wan distressedly, and while wiping Lin Wan's sweat, she ordered someone to set out the food. Lin Wan stayed out all afternoon and had a very good appetite. She ate two bowls of rice in a row, and then stretched out her waist to tell her.
After saying goodbye, he returned to the room and was helped by Qiu Zi and others to freshen up. He then leaned comfortably on the couch and played Go.
"Girl, are you busy?" Lin Wan was holding the chess pieces and arranging them slowly. Zhou Ming didn't know when they fell outside the door, and asked with a hint of hesitation in his voice.
Lin Wan blinked in surprise, then threw away the chess piece, stood up and walked outside, smiling: "Come in." She had been feeling uncomfortable these past few days and ignored them for a while.
"Is something wrong?" Lin Wan raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhou Ming with a smile on her face.
Zhou Ming hesitated at the door for a long time, and then slowly took out the object hidden behind him, which was covered with a black cloth.
Lin Wan's eyes flashed with surprise, and she suddenly felt a little interested. She didn't speak, just waiting for Zhou Ming's next words.
Zhou Ming swallowed his saliva, his voice hesitant, as if it was squeezed out of his throat with difficulty. "I sent this to the girl. I said, he was thinking of the girl in his heart, and he couldn't sleep day and night. The girl's voice and smile...
…”
"Stop!" Lin Wan shuddered, frowned, and asked impatiently, "What on earth is it?"
Zhou Ming breathed a sigh of relief, smiled quickly at Lin Wan, and lifted up the black cloth.
Lin Wan took a look and saw that it was a cage. When she looked at the things in the cage, she stumbled back in shock and said with a trace of disgust in her voice: "Rat?"
Zhou Ming nodded, shook his head again, opened the corners of his mouth, and wanted to smile, but his smile was extremely unnatural. He hurriedly explained: "It's not a mouse, it just looks like a kind of fox in the north. It moves very fast and can catch
It's very difficult to get up, and it's even harder to catch it alive."
Lin Wan blinked, moved forward unbelievingly, looked at Zhou Ming, and then carefully checked the little things in the cage - two, both covered in snow-white, moving neatly in the cage
They were scurrying around and looked very smart. But except for the slightly longer tail, she really didn't see how those two little things looked like foxes. Hey, forget it, she had never seen a fox in her life.
Just think of it as a fox - but what does that black-faced guy mean by asking someone to send two little foxes all the way?
"You can tell from the first glance that this thing is going to be difficult to catch. Isn't he fighting? Is he still thinking about doing this?" Lin Wan had a very disgusted expression on her face, but she couldn't help but stretched out her fingers and touched the little thing in the cage.
, soft and quite cute.
Zhou Ming smiled awkwardly, holding the cage in his hand and not knowing what to say.
Lin Wan sighed feebly, lifted the cage over, and handed it to Forsythia, who was looking at it with bright eyes. She frowned at Zhou Ming and ordered: "What did he say? Don't read it like you did just now! You summarize it."
"Speak concisely and concisely!" If she hears the words "it's hard to sleep day and night" again, her dinner will be in vain!
"Ahem, the girl didn't look so good a few days ago." Zhou Ming glanced at Lin Wan and saw that there was nothing strange on the latter's face. He was slightly relieved and spoke more smoothly. "I made my own decision and gave it to you.
After receiving the letter, Zhu Qi brought these two foxes back and said that I had ordered them specifically for the girl. I just wanted to make the girl happy."
Seeing that Lin Wan had no expression on her face, Zhou Ming simply felt upset and said something nice for his father. "I shouldn't have said this, I haven't had much dealings with the girl's family, and I don't know how to speak, but I
I really take care of the girl. Girl, you..."
"Okay, okay, you can go back and have a rest. Write a letter for me to thank your father. I just ask him to stop bothering you and to fight hard!" Lin Wan frowned impatiently and waved her hand, then turned around and knocked.
Forsythia, who was concentrating on teasing the little fox, cursed with a tigerish face: "Is it so beautiful? Close the door quickly!"
Forsythia stood up with a smile, shrugged towards Zhou Ming who was standing at the door, and gently closed the door.
"Girl, this little thing is really cunning. He doesn't eat anything else but only picks the good ones!" Forsythia teased the two little foxes intently and took the time to look at Lin Wan in surprise.
Lin Wan stroked her forehead irritably and scolded Forsythia: "As long as you don't starve to death! Go to work quickly! Girl, I need to rest."
Forsythia shrank her neck and curled her lips reluctantly. Then she glanced at the little fox, turned off the light, and went outside to talk to Qiu Zi and the others.
In the darkness, Lin Wan let out a soft sigh, her eyes fixed on the two white fur balls in the cage beside the window sill, but her thoughts drifted away.
Grandma said that if the big black face really treated him well, she should consider the Lu family. The Lu family tree has deep roots. Although it attracts wind, it is not easy to fall, but there are indispensable open and covert attacks outside. Listen to what grandma said
, the troubles within the Lu family might be reduced. She originally thought that when she got married, she would not have to deal with those concubines, but just treat her husband with respect and live in peace with each other, let alone fight openly and secretly outside. She
An ideal day is to drink tea, enjoy flowers, occasionally play chess, and chat with your husband for a while when you feel good. That's enough.
But now it seems that she thought too well.
If she had a choice, she would never choose the Lu family. But now, her marriage has not been settled at all, and her black-faced attitude was so tough before. Her grandmother, who had always planned for her, taught her, and protected her, is no longer there.
, but grandma still wanted to see her get married, and Lin Wan felt sour and warm in her heart.
The Lu family? If she really marries the big black face... But he can't say he treats her well... Lin Wan's eyes fixed and she looked at the two little foxes in the dimness again, feeling irritated again.
The black-faced guy never has any rules for what he does, and she doesn’t even know what he’s thinking! Hey, it’s so annoying! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, your
