Lin Gongzi medicine jar

"What's wrong with Xi'er, are you feeling unwell?"

Lin Xi shook her head when she heard the words, but her complexion was not good, and she coughed a few times.

Yuanyuan lowered her head and twitched the corners of her mouth, then raised her head and said anxiously: "Madam, the young master has caught a cold for the past few days, and it hasn't recovered. It's nothing during the day, but he always coughs at night. The doctor said to rest more and less. tired……"

Lin Xi cast a sidelong glance at Yuanyuan, and the fat girl slowly fell silent.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shan immediately said: "Oh, my child, why didn't you tell me earlier, why don't the old lady let him go back and lie down quickly."

Everyone looked over with concern, Lin Xi felt a little guilty, raised his face and pulled the corner of his mouth weakly, "It doesn't matter, it's just an old problem, there will always be such a day or two in winter."

Mrs. Tai shook Lin Xi's hand. The child's hand was always cold and the stove was not warm, so she was a little worried.

Mrs. Liu looked at it, and suggested: "Why don't you take Master Hou's name card and ask the imperial physician in charge to come and have a look."

Mrs. Tai was about to nod her head when Lin Xi shook her head and said guiltily, "Don't bother the doctor today on New Year's Eve, I know my body well, but it's just caused by today's fatigue, just take more rest and take some medicine. "

After saying that, she coughed a few times, and Mrs. Tai immediately ordered Tuan Yuanyuan, "Two girls, hurry up and help your young master go down to rest, and serve carefully."

The two girls bowed, "Yes."

But Lin Xi hesitated, "Grandmother, uncle and aunt, this..."

"Your body is important." Mrs. Tai looked at Liu Shi again, "Is Lan Yuexuan ready?"

Liu stood up and said, "Don't worry, mother, the house is cleaned every day, and the bedding was just dried a few days ago."

At this time, Mother Ren had already closed the curtain, so Lin Xi didn't refuse anymore, and got up and saluted.

Lin Xi went out of the house and went towards the gate, turned her head and said to Yuanyuan: "My medicine was left in Lin's house, you go and report to the old lady, you won't stay overnight tonight, come back tomorrow morning to pay New Year's greetings."

Tonight was different from previous years. When it was supposed to be quiet, there were still many people on the street, all heading in one direction.

Lin Xi raised the curtain, "What time is it?"

Tuantuan said: "It's Hai time. I heard that there will be no curfew tonight, and fireworks will be set off in front of the palace gate. Young master, this seems to be true. Everyone has gone to the palace."

There was a hint of excitement in Tuantuan's voice, Lin Xi didn't say anything, just bent his eyes in the direction of the palace gate, then put down the curtain of the car, and listened patiently to the sound of horseshoes.

Hou's Mansion was not far from Lin's Mansion, and they arrived in a short while, Yuanyuan got out of the carriage first.

Lin Xi stepped out of the car, stepped on the side of the car and reached out for her to help her, and was about to get out of the car, when she suddenly felt that the hand holding her was not like a maid's, it was wide and strong with thick calluses, so when she looked up suddenly, she saw Prince Rui, who was dressed in black, stood under the carriage and looked at him with a smile, while Yuanyuan stood beside him in a vigorous manner.

"Young Master Lin, please."

There was a smile in the deep and deep voice, and Lin Xi lost his focus and went down with a slight effort in his hands, and then he took a step forward and hugged her full.

The tall figure hugged the relatively thin body, and Lin Xi was surrounded by warmth before he came into contact with the cold, which made people linger and didn't want to leave.

But even though it was midnight, the servant girls and guards were still there, even though the guards were all from the personal guards of Prince Rui's residence, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Xi still didn't have that cheeky and daring intimacy.

After slowing down his beating heart, he gently pushed his hard chest, so Zhao Jingyi let him go kindly, but held Lin Xi's hand firmly.

Lin Xi raised the corner of his mouth, but did not let go.

A big black horse came out of the darkness, its hooves were as proud as its owner, and it walked slowly to Zhao Jingyi's side, stretched its neck, and turned its handsome horse face to Lin Xi.

He subconsciously reached out and touched it. The big black horse tilted its head, flicked its tail, stepped on the spot a few times, and snorted a few times.

Zhao Jingyi got on the horse neatly, pulled Lin Xi and put him in front of her, wrapped one arm around Lin Xi's waist, and saw him leaning down and saying to Lin Xi: "Xi'er, hold on tightly when it's cold." hold me tight."

Lin Xi couldn't help thinking of those bad rides, and couldn't help jokingly said: "It's really not a good memory, the prince's domineering and unreasonable are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

Zhao Jingyi pulled the black cloak over his body, wrapped Lin Xi tightly, and said helplessly: "Young Master Lin is generous, please forget about these unpleasantness as soon as possible."

As he said that, he glanced at the guard who was watching his nose, nose, nose and heart, and took Mr. Lin away with his legs clamped in the belly of the horse.

"Master." Tuanyuan shouted behind him, and then watched the big black horse melt into the night.

They stared at each other with wide eyes, looked worriedly at the gate of the Lin Mansion not far away, and said, "How can we explain this to Mother Zhou, young master and prince... Here, Mother Zhou must beat us to death."

The two girls are always waiting for them, Lin Xi can't hide it from them, Yuanyuan knows, even if they don't say anything, they will gradually understand, but today in the middle of the night, Lin Xi's bold and rebellious behavior still shocked them .

If this is going back to the house, Zhou's mother really doesn't know how to cover up the past when she asks!

They took a look around, the coachman and the guards were all sent by Prince Rui's residence, Mother Zhou couldn't control them, they were the only ones left.

"You two girls, you don't have to worry about the young master if you have the prince here. Since you are not allowed to serve tonight, let's take it as a holiday. Fireworks will be set off at the gate of the palace. Lao Cheng will send you over to have a look?"

The coachman is a man in his thirties. His name is Cheng Zhong. As his name suggests, he looks honest and unassuming, but he has always driven a car steadily. He is always on call when he is taciturn. asked.

"Miss Yuan, the lord has ordered us to take care of the two girls. Don't worry, we will send the two girls back before the lord and the young master come back."

Wei Jia didn't leave either, and now he opened the car door for Tuan Yuan Yuan, and what he said meant that he would continue to hide from the Lin family.

After hesitating for a moment, Yuanyuan took Tuantuan's hand and walked towards the carriage, and gave Wei Jia an angry look, "I'm afraid our young master will suffer!" Then she got into the carriage with Wei Jia's hand.

Wei Jia heaved a sigh, "How could it be, the lord put all his heart on Mr. Lin, he wanted the stars but not the moon, and the young one still needs Miss Yuan to speak kindly in front of Mr. Lin."

Yuanyuan hummed twice and said nothing.

Tuantuan covered his mouth and smiled, and squinted at the man who had been following Prince Rui.

Wei Jia was seen scratching his head, and said with a smile: "Miss Tuan, please."

Tuantuan said: "Yuanyuan has a quick temper, please be more responsible."

Wei Jia quickly shook his hand, "No, it's fine, she's fine like this. Sit tight, mature, let's go."

Jingshan Temple is opposite to Jingfo Temple, but Jingfo Temple is a national temple with magnificent temples. On weekdays, dignitaries and dignitaries come and go frequently.

The Jingshan Temple is located on the Jingshan Mountain, and it has the meaning of cultivating Taoism and introspection. Except for those who really practice enlightenment, the common people seldom visit it.But another day is an exception. Every Qixi Festival, if you want a good marriage, young unmarried men and women must come here.

Jingshan Temple is also known as Yuelao Temple.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, Lin Xi looked up at the long winding steps hidden in the darkness under the starlight, and couldn't help tightening the cloak on her body.

Coming to this dark mountain at night, it was cold and dark, and there was no one around, Lin Xi felt a little nervous, if not for the strong force of the man who tied the horse rope behind him, he really wanted to leave here immediately.

Zhao Jingyi lit a lantern and walked to Lin Xi's side, "Let's go."

"Up the mountain?" Lin Xi asked incredulously.

Under the dim light, Mr. Lin's eyes widened, and he looked like are you crazy or am I crazy? Zhao Jingyi couldn't help laughing at such an obvious and vivid expression.

"Yes, go up the mountain."

Zhao Jingyi took his hand and walked up the stone steps. The surroundings were dark and the trees were indistinct. Under the silence, the light of the lantern illuminated a small area and surrounded the two people.

Lin Xi should have been nervous and afraid, but he calmed down miraculously. The temperature from the clasped hands dispelled his uneasiness. Then he raised his head, and the calm Zhao Jingyi pursed his lips, but he couldn't ignore the gentle arc raised , this man is handsome and profound but has always been cold and unreasonable, but he treats Lin Xi with some warmth and patience.

Unable to hold back her big rough hands, Lin Xi muttered, "You can watch the New Year's Eve together anywhere, why come to this mountain, what if there is danger? And it's so high, I can't climb it."

After hearing this, Zhao Jingyi just smiled softly, "It's coming soon."

As soon as the mountain road turned, Lin Xi stopped. The biggest feature of Jingshan Temple was in front of her. There were 99 long steps without any buffer, and she rushed straight up in one breath.

At this moment, lanterns have been hung on both sides of the stone steps at intervals. Looking from a distance, it seems that the stars in the sky are arranged on the ground, and the little sparks echo each other from afar.

In this situation, Lin Xi suddenly thought of a rumor.

Men and women who have walked through the nine hundred and ninety-nine stone steps together will have a marriage in the future just like this process of walking. They will support and encourage each other in this life and in this life, and will not give up because of poverty, wealth, illness or disaster. Difficult but firm to the end.

It's just that in this era, it's mostly parents' order and matchmaker's words. Even after getting engaged, it's hard to meet alone to avoid suspicion. Zhuang Road can directly take a horse-drawn carriage to Jingshan Temple.

Up the stairs, most of them are married couples who raise their eyebrows in harmony. For example, Xiao Yuheng once promised Bai's family to go to Jingshan Temple to fulfill his vows.

Lin Xi looked at the steps that had been picked up, and looked at the quietly hanging lanterns, all kinds of feelings suddenly came to mind.

Zhao Jingyi stood side by side with him, turned his face, and asked gently and affectionately: "Will Xi'er go up the mountain with me?"

are you willing?Nature is willing.

The man next to him doesn't understand what romance is at all, and it can be seen that he has put his heart into doing this.

"Zhao Jingyi, do you really want to be with me from now on?" Lin Xi tilted her head and couldn't help asking for confirmation again.

In exchange, Zhao Jingyi held Lin Xi's hand even tighter, and nodded firmly, "Yes."

"Then let's go." Lin Xi bent his eyes and the corners of his lips, and walked to the steps first. He Lin Xi was not a coy person, since he knew each other and made a promise, he naturally walked towards each other for help.

However, Zhao Jingyi held him back, "Xi'er, wait."

Lin Xi turned around, puzzled.

Zhao Jingyi walked up to him, handed him the lantern, then took off her cloak and put it on Lin Xi, bowed her head and kissed his forehead, and said with a smile: "Although I am moved that Xi'er is of the same heart as me, It's a pity that your body may not be able to bear it."

After speaking, he turned around and squatted down in front of Lin Xi, and waved his hands backward, "Come up."

Lin Xi was taken aback, and was immediately at a loss and moved. The honorable Prince Rui must have never carried anyone on his back besides the eldest son, right?And there are such long steps... What if you get down on the road halfway?

"I'm very heavy." After holding back for a long time, Lin Xi finally said a word.

How much meat can a scholar have?It's not as important as his long gun.

Zhao Jingyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she turned her head and said, "I know, Xi'er, come up quickly, if I hurry up, I'm afraid I can catch up with the fireworks."

So confident?

Lin Xi didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately climbed onto Zhao Jingyi's back, hugged his neck tightly with one hand, and held a lantern in front of him to illuminate him with the other, and said happily, "You must carry this, go to the back." Don't blame me for not moving."

Zhao Jingyi didn't speak any more, and supported Lin Xi's buttocks with both hands to adjust her posture, then her eyes darkened, and she walked up the steps quickly.

Facts have proved that the battle-tested Prince Rui is really not bragging. His steps are as fast as flying, but his breathing is steady, and he walks step by step very rhythmically. His expression is relaxed, as if walking on flat ground.

And Lin Xi couldn't help counting along with his footsteps. In the quiet surroundings, even the sound of insects had disappeared in winter, leaving only the sound of Zhao Jingyi's breathing and Lin Xi's counting. This stops time for eternity.

At this moment, Lin Xi feels that if they unfortunately do not get together in the future, this road alone can be remembered for a long time.

He knew that in the future, there would never be such a person willing to carry him through the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, and he would never walk this path with anyone again.

Maybe Zhao Jingyi is not considerate enough and too domineering, maybe his thinking is too old-fashioned, souls that have been separated for thousands of years will always collide and rub, but as long as the hearts are in one place, they can always break into the future.

Zhao Jingyi's breathing gradually became thicker and thicker, but her steps still did not slow down, and the hand holding Lin Xi was also steady. Lin Xi's counting sounds subconsciously became louder and louder, as if encouraging.

He didn't look back at the past at the bottom of the mountain, but looked up into the distance. The light of the lantern seemed to be stretched extremely far, reaching the horizon, as if it indicated that they would walk for a lifetime without end.

Finally, the gate plaque of Jingshan Temple came before him. Zhao Jingyi let out a deep breath, and stopped before the last step. He lowered his body and put Lin Xi down.

"Xi'er, let's go up together for the last step."

Neither of them looked back, but they held hands and lowered their heads together to allow them to step forward in unison.

Jingshan Temple seems to have been greeted long ago, no monks came out to entertain, only the lanterns along the road were left for lighting.

Zhao Jingyi led Lin Xi to a huge Lianli tree. This Lianli tree seemed to be hundreds of years old, and its branches and leaves had long been intertwined and inseparable. It was an indispensable thing for Jingshan Temple as a Yuelao Temple.

The two of them bowed to the big tree at the same time.

Then Zhao Jingyi approached the Lianli tree, but suddenly tore a red rope from the tree.

Lin Xi's heart skipped a beat, then silently watched Zhao Jingyi pull up his hand and tie a circle around his little finger, then handed the other end of the red string to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi touched the little finger, then reached out to take the red rope, and circled Zhao Jingyi's little finger as well.

The hands and ten fingers of the two intersected in front of each other in an instant, looked at each other, and slowly approached until they entangled each other's breath.

At this time, there was a loud bang in the distance, and the bright fireworks bloomed in the sky, instantly dyeing the night into a colorful day.

Accompanied by the fireworks, the heavy and distant bells echoed in the capital.

The old year is over, and the new year is here.
