from the crane

After buying pastries, Jiang Yin turned around to Hu Si habitually, but suddenly remembered that Arina had left, and left here in a bit of disappointment. After walking for a while, she said to the people around her, "Luo Shuang, you Does your leg still hurt?"

Luo Shuang seemed to be thinking about something, when he heard Jiang Yin calling him, he murmured, "It's nothing serious."

"Winter is coming soon, and I don't know where this year's riding and archery competition will be held." Jiang Yin couldn't help laughing, "Didn't you say that you are good at this, and then you have to show off."

Before Luo Shuang could speak, Jiang Yin said excitedly again, "I won the first place without any mistakes last time, and the gold silk deerskin is really enviable."

"Shooting in the paddock must be very interesting." Luo Shuang replied without interest, but Jiang Yin didn't hear his displeasure, and continued, "It was very interesting. I almost won last time, but it's a pity That deer was scared away by that little girl Jiang Yao."

Before returning to Jiang's house, Mr. Lin stepped forward with a heavy expression. Jiang Yin sensed that something was wrong, and told Luo Shuang to go back first.

"Go to the mountain behind the bamboo garden, and there is a wooden box buried under the crooked-neck tree, and take out the contents."

Jiang Yin froze for a moment, Mr. Lin saw that he was not moving, and said coldly, "Go quickly."

In response to the sound, he quickly left here, and after wandering around for a while, he saw the crooked neck tree. The soil was turned over, and the shovel touched a hard object. He took out the wooden box. The lock on the top was engraved with delicate lotus flowers. After opening it carefully, , only a stack of letters.

Jiang Yin flipped through in doubt, and found that the inscriptions were all with the same name, and the handwriting was handsome. Jiang Yin knew immediately that it was his father's handwriting.

These are all letters to his mother, Jiang Yin got up and walked forward, not daring to stop any longer.

Seeing him coming back, Mr. Lin brought him into the room together. The room was filled with a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine. Mrs. Jiang half leaned on the couch as if closing her eyes to rest her mind. When she heard the noise and opened her eyes, she couldn't help laughing when she saw that it was Jiang Yin.

Jiang Yin stepped forward to present the letter. Mrs. Jiang saw it, and looked up at Mr. Lin again.

"Back when he was ordered to leave, he never expected that he would never return. I wanted to burn these letters, but I just couldn't bear it..."

Mr. Lin stood with his hands behind his back and said nothing, but Mrs. Jiang sighed and took the letter, "I was only six years old when I saw you for the first time. After so many years, Shen Lian's face has grown old, but Mr. Lin still has the same demeanor. , I am very grateful for the fate in this life.”

"You know I don't want to hear that."

Mr. Lin waved to Jiang Yin to signal him to go out. Jiang Yin turned to look at Mrs. Jiang's pale face, and temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart.

Standing at the door looking at the unfrozen pond, Jiang Yao's voice interrupted Jiang Yin's thoughts.

"Why don't you go with the third sister-in-law?"

Jiang Yin looked up at him, and told her exactly what happened just now, Jiang Yao nodded, and said inscrutablely, "Mr. Lin is a crane fairy."

Jiang Yin looked at her suspiciously, and she explained, "I heard from my elder brother before that the reason why Mr. Lin stayed with his mother was to repay his kindness."

Jiang Yin was dubious about this, and couldn't help retorting, "You have read too many stories, what kind of gods are you?"

"That's because you are ignorant." Jiang Yao retorted, "Didn't you realize that Mr. Lin is not old at all?"

Jiang Yin blinked, and realized later, "It seems so."

"I don't know how my mother's illness is. She has been suffering from illnesses. If Mr. Lin can cast spells to save my mother, I will really be Amitabha."

"Mother should be fine..." Jiang Yin recalled Mrs. Jiang's pale face just now, and forced a smile, "Mr. Lin is very good at medicine, and nothing will happen."

Jiang Yao sighed, pushed Jiang Yin and said, "What did you go out for?"

"I'm here to buy you sweet-scented osmanthus cake, but I ran into Wu Cuo on the way. He was very upset by his family's guest affairs."

"A mere Keqing, how could he still be able to shake the sky?" Jiang Yao frowned and remembered something, and his face changed, "The Keqing must have a backer behind him, otherwise it would be impossible to be so arrogant."

"Sister Zhaoge has no reason to help him." Jiang Yin murmured, "Could it be some kind of princess and prince?"

"Princess..." Jiang Yao looked up at Jiang Yin, "Princess Wenxuan?"

"Don't talk nonsense about this." Jiang Yin hurriedly covered Jiang Yao's mouth, "Be careful not to be overheard by someone who cares."

Jiang Yao rolled her eyes, and simply changed the subject, "Why don't you go to Husi recently, didn't Sister Arina ask you to draw?"

After hearing this, Jiang Yin said with some regret, "Arina is going back to the Western Regions."

"When did this happen? I didn't even say goodbye to her." Jiang Yao sighed after hearing this, and Jiang Yin pinched her face and said, "She went back and forth with the caravan to Changhuan and the Western Regions, and It’s not like never going back.”

"I heard that the second elder brother will bring Mr. An into the palace tomorrow, is it true?"

Jiang Yin nodded, and said again, "He escaped from Xuecheng. Eldest brother was captured by Qiang's relatives. Now he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive."

Jiang Yao twitched the corners of her mouth and comforted him, "Even though Big Brother doesn't practice martial arts, he still has some brains, unlike you, he's like a goose."

"Stupid goose? Say it again."

"Ha, goose!"

Mid-autumn osmanthus filled the garden, Jiang Yin looked at the lotus pond with only dead leaves and lotus left, feeling a little regretful, turned around and came behind Jiang Yao cautiously, and picked her up.

"Four sisters!"

"Three Brothers!"

Jiang Yao frowned and broke away from his embrace, and stared at him angrily, but Jiang Yin was not annoyed, instead she asked with a smile:

"Where is Liu Yi'an, it's been a while, where has he gone?"

The autumn wind was blowing, Jiang Yin couldn't help but sneezed, and when he looked up, he saw a girl wearing a golden hairpin and a gorgeous skirt.

This is no girl.

Jiang Yin looked at the person in front of him, the corners of his mouth twitched, and finally spit out the words, "Liu Yi'an, you are crazy."

"Hey, Mr. Jiang is so angry. Aren't you the gentlest to girls? How could you be cruel to me." Liu Yi'an lightly shook the round fan in his hand, and Jiang Yin quickly backed away when he saw it.

"Stay away from me and don't stay by my side for a moment."

"Don't be so indifferent to others, I'm going to cry." Liu Yi'an sobbed twice pretending to be shy, Jiang Yin's goosebumps were about to rise.

Liu Yi'an's appearance is good, but he is not suitable for these girls at all, his series of pretentious movements will only make people feel uncomfortable.

It felt like Mr. Lin walking down the street with an unshaven beard and drinking madly!

"Sin, sin!" Thinking of this, Jiang Yin quickly covered his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Stop making trouble, there will be more business in a while."

"Yeah, when you see the god statue and make a wish, don't offend the gods." Jiang Yao came to Liu Yi'an with a smile, and took off a hairpin from his head, "Where did you get all these things? So lovely."

"He grabbed a lot of these things, you can go to his study tomorrow to see, they are all these exquisite things." Jiang Yin looked around, finally found Luo Shuang among the crowd, and called out his name loudly , and saw the man striding towards him.

"Let's go, let's go worship the Bodhisattva." Jiang Yin stopped suddenly just as he was about to leave, "No mistake, where did this guy go?"

"He doesn't believe in these gods and Buddhas at all. Let's not wait for him, we will see him in a while." Liu Yi'an slapped the fan, and then muttered, "This time I sent someone to the south to buy it." There are a lot of crabs, let's eat crabs and appreciate chrysanthemums tonight, we must have a good time."

"That's right! Once the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, you can compete in riding and archery. I will definitely win this year." Jiang Yao clapped her hands happily, and pulled Jiang Yin forward. Jiang Yin followed her, but she was worried. Turning back to Luo Shuang, he said, "Follow me quickly."

A group of people entered the main hall, and the golden statue was tall and big. Standing in front of it felt a little more oppressive for no reason, with its eyes closed, sitting on the lotus platform.

Jiang Yao kept silent and let go of Jiang Yin's hand, and stepped forward with clasped hands together and bowed reverently.

Jiang Yin softly reminded her of the wrong rules, but she went her own way and pretended not to hear, shaking her head and sighing helplessly, Jiang Yin closed her eyes and recited her wish in her heart.

When he opened his eyes, he found that Luo Shuang was also making a wish very seriously. He couldn't help being a little surprised, so he lowered his voice and asked, "What wish did you make?"

"It won't work if you express your wish." Luo Shuang closed her eyes and whispered back to him.

"Oh, it seems that you still have obsessions, and only the wishes you speak out will come true."

"If it agrees, I will really believe it."

They walked out together with Luo Shuang, and sat down at the banquet. Sure enough, they saw Yu Wucuo sitting there, and greeted him, but he was not interested.

After asking, it turned out that he was leaving Changhuan in the next few days.

"Where are you going, what are you doing leaving here?"

"I'm going to look for my mother's family, and I'll be back in a few days. The Yu family is in danger now, and I'm really dying." Yu Wucuo frowned, and he could see his worry from the bright face. Yin comforted him a few words, but he just sighed.

The cages were placed one by one, and the steamed crabs were bright red in color and steaming hot. Jiang Yin took one and put it in front of him, and cut off the crab's two large claws and eight crabs one by one with round-tipped scissors. foot.

"If you have any difficulties, just tell me and Yi'an, we have no reason not to help you." Jiang Yin couldn't help but gasped when he said this, it turned out that the small silver waist hammer in his hand was accidentally Hit his own finger.

"What is this, I can solve it, but you, those hard bones of the Jiang family are not easy to chew." Yu Wucuo couldn't help laughing when he saw Jiang Yin's embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "A few days ago I I also heard that the guy from Pinxiangzhai stole the prescription from your pharmacy."

"What does a fellow steal a prescription for?" Jiang Yin casually looked to the side when he said this, but saw Luo Shuang looking at the crab in front of him, not knowing what to do.

"He may have swallowed the guts of a leopard. I don't know if this matter is true or not. Anyway, the boss Liu of the pharmacy has reneged on his account. He has received the bounty but refused to deliver the goods."

"And this matter, I will definitely interrogate him tomorrow!" Jiang Yin couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he heard this. Go up and drink five and six.

"Don't be annoyed. Most of your Jiang family's property is in this pharmacy. Don't act arrogantly. If you hit Boss Liu, you will kneel in front of your mother and be whipped tomorrow." Yu Wucuo sighed softly. The tone was a little sad, "I'm also living a safe and stable life now. If I had known that I would also get fame in the exam, I wouldn't be bullied now."

The fresh and tender crab meat was taken out of the shell. Jiang Yin scooped up a spoonful of dipping sauce, poured it on the peeled crab meat in front of him, and pushed the small dish to Luo Shuang without changing his expression.

"Don't envy him, I think since he took over his father's position, he seems to have been smashed."

"Haha, his outfit today is quite chic, but why didn't you come along today?" Yu Wucuo picked up the wine glass, and slowly fell on the person beside Jiang Yin, "The beauty is by my side, and I don't see you going to mess around with me." wanton."

"Why, you want to drink with me, come to Jiang's house anytime, I'll be waiting for you." Jiang Yin chuckled lightly, then remembered something, "Have you seen my fourth sister?"

"Yes, we chatted for a while." Yu Wucuo frowned, unable to see any other emotions, "You are afraid that I will ignore her again, right?"

"I just don't want to make the atmosphere awkward." Jiang Yin said with downcast eyes.

"You think too badly of me. When we grow up together, is it possible that I will resent you in turn?" Yu Wucuo shook his head and drank the wine, "I won't argue with you, what you want I don't care, I just want to spend my life in peace, and when I grow old, I can ask you friends to have a chat."

"Who wants to fight? They were pushed away." Jiang Yin was a little sad after hearing this, and simply changed the subject, "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, let's compete in the riding and archery competition."

"That's right." Yu Wucuo looked into Jiang Yin's amber eyes and responded with a smile.

The night is dark, the cinnamon is still strong, and the water surface of the lotus pond is rippling, which is the wind.
