[Red Mansion] The adopted son of the Lin family

When Shen Yu rushed over, he saw Lin Ze being hugged on someone's lap, and a chair was lucky enough to be able to sit the two of them.Glancing at Lin Ze, who was full of discomfort, and seeing Shui Zhan's gloomy face, obviously still angry, he smiled and said, "What's the matter, last time I saw you were talking and laughing, this time How do you put your face down?"

Lin Ze heard Shen Yu's voice and was about to come down to salute, but the man behind him was extremely domineering, don't hold his arms too tightly around his waist!

Lin Ze was anxious, feeling that it was not good for him to be hugged like this, so he kept struggling.Shui Zhan looked down at him, the child's cheeks were slightly puffed, and Mi Fen's fluttering little face was already stained with blush due to the force of the struggle, as beautiful as a layer of rouge.Shui Zhan looked at it, his eyes became slightly hot.

"Cough!" Shen Yu coughed heavily, at least it made the two of them calm down, and Lin Ze finally calmed down a bit, so he wouldn't struggle indiscriminately, and Shui Zhan also withdrew his overly eager gaze, just lying on the sidelines. Lin Ze's arms around his waist tightened a little more.Shen Yu ignored their expressions, and just said, "Since you're here, let's send Ze'er back to Yangzhou." Yin looked at Lin Ze again, and said with a smile, "It will take time for you to travel. It would not be beautiful if it was delayed for a while, so it would be fine if we set off earlier and go back earlier."

Seeing Lin Ze nodded and said yes, Shen Yu turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something, turned around and smiled. "I almost forgot about him." Lin Ze blinked his clear eyes, a little confused.Shen Yu only said: "Those three people who came with you, now that you want to go back, you should take them with you. Could it be that they are still here waiting for you obsessively?"

After hearing this, Lin Ze knew that Shen Yu was talking about Chang'an, Changning and Licorice, and hurriedly said: "Mr. is very right, I should take them back together."

Seeing that Shui Zhan didn't have anything important to say, Shen Yu only asked: "Look out on the road, don't call anyone to run into him again." After that, he waved his hand and didn't want them to get up to see him off, and left.But I thought in my heart: his exhortation is only for my own heart, in fact, it is just an exhortation to him in vain.With Shui Zhan's temperament, he will never let others run into Lin Ze again.Thinking of this for a moment, he felt relieved, and saw a child passing by on the road, so he casually pointed to a child to pass on the message.

Lin Ze saw that Shen Yu was gone, but the person behind him still didn't let go, and he couldn't stand it, he was a little annoyed, "What is the third brother doing, what is the meaning of sitting on my lap!" Then he pointed to the side The chair said: "We just have to talk, you put me down, I just sit on the chair next to me."

Hearing what he said, Shui Zhan narrowed his eyes, and seeing that the child's face was a little red after all, he was afraid that it would be bad to push him, so he loosened his arms.As soon as Lin Ze noticed it, he immediately slid down Shui Zhan's knees, but felt the person behind him stiffen uncomfortably, so he was puzzled for a while and didn't think about it anymore.

When Lin Ze sat still, Shui Zhan didn't speak, but took the teacup on the small table and slowly skimmed the tea foam.Lin Ze glanced at him, only to feel that the pair of slender hands holding the white porcelain teacup was indescribably noble, an ordinary movement, Wen Xibai did it lazily and complacently, Pei Zijun did it boldly and grandly, but it fell to the ground. This Shen Zhan was extremely noble.Before he knew it, he watched it, and when the hand stopped moving, Lin Ze came back to his senses, and when he looked up, he saw Shen Zhan looking at him with a faint smile, his face flushed immediately!

Because of Lin Ze's unconscious trance, Shui Zhan's depressed mood improved a lot, and most of the depression in his heart disappeared.Seeing Lin Ze staring at him with clear eyes, he smiled unconsciously.Seeing that Lin Ze's face was flushed after regaining consciousness, Shui Zhan only felt that this child was cute and cute, and there was no other sulk about him.

"I heard from Mr. Shen that you have made a lot of progress in the academy, and it would be great to come here to study." Shui Zhan said softly, his fingers paused, and he finally concealed his desire to touch Lin Ze's blush cheeks Looking at the verdant vines, squinting his eyes and smiling, "It's just that you have to live here at a young age."

What Shui Zhan said was that in this Weiyang Academy, no matter whether you come from a humble or a noble background, you must strictly follow the teacher's training and abide by etiquette.Another one, because the academy is a quiet place to study, where those unruly boys come in to serve, the students do it themselves, only the boys in the academy can chat for them.Therefore, those who want to send their children to Weiyang Academy mostly wait until the children are seven or eight years old and can do things on their own before they are willing to send them in.Considering Lin Ze's age, he was indeed a little younger.

Hearing what Shui Zhan said, Lin Ze smiled and said, "It's not bitter at all. There is a teacher to teach, and a child to serve, not to mention I have two best friends together. There is nothing happier than this. "

When Lin Ze said this, his tone couldn't help being cheerful, but he didn't know that Shui Zhan hardly broke the chair under his palm when he heard him speak like this.Yin laughed again and said, "Now my third brother is also coming to see me, so I'm even happier."

After Lin Ze said this, Shui Zhan regained his strength, and his body was no longer tense.Turning sideways to look at Lin Ze for a while, seeing that he is well-behaved and well-behaved, his eyes are as bright as stars, and his eyebrows and eyes are very similar to that person, and his heart aches.He just thought that if the person from Ningshou Palace hadn't pushed him so hard, how could his little Jiu'er have fallen to the point of being adopted by others.Although it can't be said that it's not good in the Lin family, it's just... after all, it's not the identity he should have.Thinking of this, Shui Zhan felt extremely sad for a moment, and a bit of sadness appeared in his expression.

Seeing his expression like this, Lin Ze couldn't help being anxious, and hurriedly grabbed Shui Zhan's cuff with his hands, and said, "Third Brother? What's wrong with Third Brother?"

Seeing that his eyes were full of concern and eagerness, Shui Zhan was relieved, and took advantage of the opportunity to hold Lin Ze's little hand in his palm.He forced a smile and said, "Third brother is fine, but I just miss you very much, and I heard that you are going home, and I have been rushing for several days all night, I am afraid I am tired." With a look of worry, he said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, I'll just rest for a while, and everything will be fine."

Lin Ze couldn't help hearing what he said.So he led Shui Zhan to his room to rest for a while, his hands were held tightly by Shui Zhan along the way, and he didn't dare to move, only thinking that the third brother hurt himself because he hurried back, and now he was just caught It doesn't matter if he holds hands and walks for a while.So he let Shui Zhan move, stayed in the room, and helped Shui Zhan get water to wash up, and he did everything by himself, and there was no reason to pretend to be someone else.

Seeing that Shui Zhan had washed up and fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow, Lin Ze hurriedly packed up the utensils and went outside.As soon as he went out, he saw Xibai standing at the door waving a folding fan painted with flowers and birds, his long and narrow phoenix eyes were slightly squinted, and the smile on his face was a half-smile, so he ignored him and just took the toiletry utensils in his hand Put it back.

"Hey, it can be seen that we don't hear old people cry when we have new people laughing." Wen Xibai said, sighing several times, seeing that Lin Ze refused to talk to him, he put away the playful look on his face, and only leaned towards Lin Ze. Ze said beside him: "This 'Brother Shen' is really scary. I saw that you and him corresponded in a thick stack. I thought he was a gentle and honest person. Who would have thought that would be like this." Then he thought: Most people in the world have different appearances than what they appear to be, and this third brother Shen is also like this.Look at his tenderness towards Lin Ze, his face towards himself and Zi Jun was almost freezing.

Lin Ze glanced at him, saw that he was still in a daze, did not answer, ignored him, and went to the study by himself.After Wen Xibai came back to his senses, he could only watch Lin Ze helplessly as he turned around the corner of the moon gate, and his hand vigorously took the fan bone and knocked on the palm of his hand, and then chased after him with a kick.He was anxious to know who this Third Brother Shen was, just looking at his words and demeanor today, don't be some extraordinary person?

The four windows in the study are closed tightly, and the south one is opened alone. Only through that window can one see a plum tree in the south corner in full bloom.The clusters are as bright as red clouds, the clusters are as strong as fire, the fragrance is tangy, and the branches are strong. Just looking at them makes people feel refreshed.As soon as Lin Ze entered the door, he saw Pei Zijun standing by the window, and couldn't help laughing: "Senior Brother Pei, why are you standing there to blow the wind?" Seeing that Pei Zijun turned his face away, he said: "Be careful and get a headache after blowing the wind. Mr. Zhang also said that he will check the silent scriptures tomorrow, could it be that Brother Pei does not want silent scriptures, so why not stand here and blow the air?"

Pei Zijun was about to speak, but suddenly a person jumped out from behind Lin Ze. The boss laughed bluntly and said, "Everyone is like you. You are weak and weak with a small illness every three days. Your senior brother Pei is in good health. How about you?" You don't need to worry about him." The person who came was Wen Xibai, who waggled the fan with one hand and put the other on Lin Ze's shoulder. Seeing that Pei Zijun frowned slightly, he smiled again: "At least you should be happier, so Why are you so sullen?"

Lin Ze also looked at Pei Zijun, and seeing his gloomy expression, he also asked, "Senior Brother Pei, do you have something to say to me?" Seeing Pei Zijun nodding, Lin Ze turned his face away and smiled at Wen Xi beside him. Said: "Then I have to ask the second senior brother to give up a place." Before Wen Xibai could react with a bluff, he was pushed out by Lin Ze, and when he wanted to go in again, Lin Ze grinned. The door slammed shut with a bang.

"These two people, do you still have something to say in a whisper?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help curling his lips aggrievedly, eavesdropping is not enough, anyway, the three of them are honest with each other, even though Lin Ze sent him out, did they think that Pei Zijun was in the middle of the night? Won't you talk to him?snort!Junior brother, you are still too naive!

But in the room, Pei Zijun was silent for a moment, and then asked again: "How did you and your 'third brother' meet?"

Lin Ze was slightly taken aback. He thought Pei Zijun was not such a curious person. Hearing him ask like this, is there something hidden?But if he told him how the two of them knew each other, Lin Ze's face froze. He didn't want to tell about the fact that he was almost pressed against the wall by an eight-year-old jerk.After deliberating for a while, he said: "My husband and I traveled from Yangzhou to the capital all the way, and we ran into Third Brother when we passed by Jinling."

After Pei Zijun heard this, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly.Thinking of that person's temperament, even if he met by chance, with his status and status, he would definitely not casually associate with others.Glancing at Lin Ze, seeing his frank expression, he couldn't help sighing: "It's also a personal fate."

Lin Ze was confused when he heard this, and looked at Pei Zijun's expression again, feeling very puzzled in his heart. It can be seen that Pei Zijun stopped talking after waving his hand, and it was not easy to ask.He only looked sloppy, changed the subject and said: "Ah, Senior Brother Wen is probably very cold outside, let him come in." After saying that, he went to open the door, and sure enough, he saw Wen Xibai standing at the door with an aggrieved face.

He was wearing a jacket today, and he didn't feel cold yet, but the study was on the wind, and the blow made him dizzy for a while.If Lin Ze didn't open the door again, Wen Xibai might fall to the ground just for a short while.As soon as he entered the door, he saw that the smoke cage in the room had been put on earlier. Wen Xi's white eyes lit up, and he was about to sit on the smoke cage immediately. Unexpectedly, there was an arm in the diagonal stabbing him, and it was undoubtedly Pei Zijun. .

"I just got cold, so I have to warm it up, and I'm not afraid of getting cold." After saying that, he made a cup of boiling tea, and pulled Wen Xibai back to the chair, letting him settle down for a while.Then he looked up at Lin Ze again, and said, "I heard from my husband that you are going home in a few days. I'm afraid I won't be able to see you off at that time. Why don't we have dinner together tonight, and it's also for you."

Lin Ze hurriedly waved his hands and said no, and seeing Xibai and Pei Zijun's disapproving expressions, he smiled: "I don't know when I will go back, it's not good to tire you all like this. Besides, I'm going home for a while." I will come back again after a few months, so I don’t need the hard work of the two senior brothers.” After finishing speaking, he added a joke: “In my opinion, I don’t have to practice it when I leave, but when I come back, the two brothers The senior brother prepared delicious food and wine, we should eat together."

For a while, Pei Zijun and Wen Xibai laughed, and Lin Ze went to pack things by himself.

But in the final analysis, the three of them couldn't have dinner together at night. There was no other reason. It was just that Shui Zhan woke up and saw Lin Ze, Pei Zijun, and Wen Xibai talking and laughing. He felt very unhappy, so he made an excuse to leave early , It was useless even to have dinner, so I hurriedly boarded the boat while it was still dark.

Wen Xibai and Pei Zijun didn't realize it when they saw each other, and Shen Yu, who came to see him off alone, watched the ship leave with a smile, and said with a smile: "As you get older, your mind has regressed, like a child, your mind is a little smaller. Just thinking of Pei Zijun, Shen Yu pondered for a moment, then knocked on the door of Pei Zijun's room at night, the two of them talked behind closed doors for a long time, they just talked about how to spend the night without mentioning a word.Just look at the next day when Wen Xibai came to ask something early in the morning, Pei Zijun just kept his face sullen and refused to speak.

He also said that because Lin Ze wanted to return to Yangzhou, he naturally wrote a letter first and sent it to the Lin family.Lin Ruhai received the letter and saw that he was happy that the eldest son had finally returned after leaving home for many days, and was worried that Lin Ze was studying at Weiyang Academy at a young age, and he was afraid that he would not be able to go to school with peace of mind due to his weak temper.Needless to say he was conflicted here, he just sent the letter to the backyard, asking Jia Min to read it too.

Jia Min has been pregnant for four months, and after dismissing those two worrying mother-in-laws, everything goes smoothly.For a while, he brought up all the housekeeping affairs, and brought Daiyu by his side to educate him.Although I knew that Daiyu was young, even though she was very talented, she couldn't learn everything about housekeeping immediately, because she didn't teach much, but she never avoided Daiyu in her daily affairs. Yu also sat aside and listened.

Today, Nanny Fang and Nanny Zhang were leading the maids and servants to answer the conversation in the yard, and when they finished speaking and were about to leave, they heard a little girl in front of them come in and say a letter from the uncle.Lu Rou hurried down to receive the letter, handed it to his wife for review, thought it was a happy event, but when Jia Min read the letter, he burst into tears, which surprised everyone.When everyone was in doubt, Daiyu had already taken the letter from Jia Min to read, and her eyes were reddened.Seeing tears in Jia Min's eyes, he persuaded again: "My wife must take good care of yourself, brother will be back soon, it's not good to see my wife not cherishing myself like this."

Lurou twisted the handkerchief again to wipe Jia Min's face, and when she heard Daiyu's words, she also persuaded: "What the girl said is true, madam, don't be sad anymore." Listening to Daiyu's voice, I knew that the uncle was about to When I came back, I thought about what Jia Min usually cared about the uncle most, how can I not know.He persuaded and persuaded, but at any rate stopped.

Jia Minyin laughed and said: "Even if your brother doesn't come back, it's good to have you by my side. Now that your brother is coming back, I will send you back to my room from afar. I don't want you anymore. " After hearing this, Daiyu just leaned on Jia Min's arm and acted like a baby, absolutely refusing to obey.They talked again and then dispersed.

Jia Min took Daiyu back to the house, and the mother and daughter read the letter carefully again, their eye circles still red.Thinking that Lin Ze had only been out for a few months, but it seemed like a few years had passed, and there was no need to express how much I missed him.Daiyu had been close to Lin Ze since childhood, and she wanted to cry when she saw the letter, but when she saw Jia Min weeping first, she couldn't help worrying about her mother's health, so she tried to persuade her softly, saying: "My wife is now How can a person with twin bodies be so easily emotional, it's hard for my younger brother."

Jia Min laughed, and Lu Ruan and Hong Xing also looked at each other and smiled. Jia Min saw that Daiyu was cute and cute, and the baby in her womb was also the most obedient, and thought that Lin Ze would come back soon, wouldn't it be a perfect fit .Because all the worries in my heart were gone, I just pointed at Daiyu's forehead and said with a smile: "You are so young, you actually made fun of your wife? Be careful when your brother comes back, so that he can teach you a lesson. Your temper is not in vain." After that, he took another sip of tea and said, "That's all for today, you go back and rest, I think your brother came back because of you."

Lu Ruan and Hong Xing hurriedly sent Daiyu back, she still lived in the yard adjacent to Jia Min's main house, only now it was different from the past, since Lai Momo and Wang Momo sent out, the newly promoted maid in this courtyard The mother-in-law was personally selected by Jia Min.Thinking that Daiyu suffered a lot of grievances in order to take care of her mother's family, Jia Min felt sorry for her, so this time she picked someone to serve her, and she naturally did it herself, and she would not pretend to be someone else.For a while, in Daiyu's courtyard, even the rough envoy's mother-in-law was beaten by Haosheng, and she didn't dare to have any disrespectful thoughts.

Daiyu had just returned to her room when she saw a maidservant who was not more than ten years old come over, took off the damp cloak she was wearing, and put it on Daiyu after warming it up on the smoker cage.As soon as Daiyu sat on the chair, the maid asked someone to make some boiling tea and served Daiyu herself to take a sip, that's all.

Although this servant girl is only ten years old, she is well-groomed, has clear eyebrows, and has her own attitude.It is the head of the first-class maids in Daiyu's room, named Xueyuan.Seeing her go to make dim sum again now, Daiyu hurriedly waved her hand and said no, the room was silent for a moment, only a furnace of incense exuded faint fragrance.

Not long after, I heard two little maidservants coming in from outside. Seeing Daiyu sitting quietly on a chair and Xueyuan standing aside serving, she couldn't help sticking out her tongue, and came to apologize and said: "Your maidservant is late, please punish me." .”

It turned out that these two maidservants were of second class, one named Xueyan and the other named Zhulu, who were two or three years younger than Xueyuan. They took the role of second-class girl first.

Hearing what they said, Daiyu just said calmly: "Although I'm not in the room, it's okay if you take it easy." The two little girls breathed a sigh of relief, and before they could reply, they listened to Daiyu again. Yudao: "I don't want to detain you, it's for your sake, no one thinks you are good, I don't know where to play, and I came back covered in mud!"

Xueyuan also saw that the trouser legs of the two of them were covered with mud, her face turned cold immediately, and she just spat: "Since you two are maids in the girl's house, you should know what can and can't be done, how can you do this?" Seeing her The two bowed their heads and said nothing, only sneered and said: "I don't know where I went, and I went to play elsewhere in the quiet day, and I didn't care about the time!"

Daiyu heard Xueyuan scolding them for a while, she was bored, so she said: "I guess you are not what happened today, you just go to get the fine, and you will have half a month's worth of silver, rice and monthly money, if you commit any crimes again It would be clean to send you out together." Looking up and seeing two people poking their heads outside the house, he sneered and said, "You two are not alone, those standing outside should also receive the punishment together."

After all, the two little maids outside also came in and kowtowed and cried: "Girl Rende, just forgive us for the reason that we didn't go out to play crazy today!" It was the other two second-class maids, one One is called Qinghe, and the other is called Huangque.

Daiyu didn't pay any attention, and just said: "Not today, what about yesterday and the day before yesterday? I really think I don't know anything. If you want to talk about it, just go to Madam Zhang to argue, and I don't care about you anymore."

For a while, several people knew about Daiyu's strength. Although Daiyu was young, she would never dare to do it again in the future.This is all for later, and there is no need to mention it again.As soon as these people were sent out, Daiyu went to Linze's yard, Xueyuan hurriedly opened an umbrella and followed behind, fearing that the drizzle would freeze Daiyu.

After entering Linze's courtyard gate, he saw Baishu pruning flowers and plants. When he saw Daiyu coming, he hurriedly saluted and greeted him.Daiyu only smiled and took her into the house, seeing that the fumigation cage inside the house was warm, Bai Shao was doing needlework, and Bai Guo was packing up the clothes, so she laughed and said: "The two sisters are very hardworking. Although my brother is not at home, things in his house are very busy." It's neat."

Bai Guo and Bai Shao also rushed over to say hello, Daiyu saw that one of them was gentle and the other was beautiful, so she smiled and said, "I thought, I will come to visit every now and then, so it's hard work for you to come and welcome me."

Bai Guo just smiled and said, "Miss, what's the matter? Now that the mistress and wife are learning from housekeepers, they can still pay attention to us. It's our good fortune. How dare you be disrespectful."

While talking, Bai Shao had already brewed tea, so Daiyu sat down at the small table, took another sip, and said with a smile: "My brother is hiding good tea here. Although my tea is good, it's not as good as it is." The food here is delicious, brother." After taking another bite, he felt his eloquence linger, and seeing them all standing aside to serve, he said with a smile: "You don't need to talk to me when you are doing things, I just sit here for a while. gone."

Hearing what Daiyu said, Bai Guo had no choice but to say: "Then we'll go down first, and if you have something to do, please call us." Seeing that Xueyuan didn't dare to leave, she came over and took her hand with a smile, and said with a smile: " Good sister, let's go out first, and go to my room to chat and laugh for a while."

After all the people in the house had dispersed, Daiyu put down her tea and went to the inner room.I saw elegant handwriting on a screen painted with mountains and rivers, and the green mountains, green waters, fishing, woodcutters, plowing and reading made me feel relaxed and happy.Seeing that there are some thin lines on the hem of the screen, if you don't look carefully, you can't find it again, so you can't help pursing your lips and smiling.That place was when Lin Ze hugged her to play, she almost fell down, so frightened that Lin Ze hurried over to hug her, but broke a corner of the screen instead.

Daiyu smiled, and turned the screen to go inside again. No one came to sleep on the big yellow rosewood bed since Lin Ze left.Daiyu touched the quilt on the bed, her eye circles were slightly red.Thinking of how many months Lin Ze had been away from home, she was alone at home. Although she was always taught by her mother, she was still lonely after all.It is difficult for Mrs. Kuang to take care of her now that she is double, and the master is busy with political affairs, so there is no one in the back house who can talk to her comfortably.

Thinking about it, Daiyu couldn't help having a slightly sore nose, and fell asleep on the quilt.Smelling the fragrance of the quilt with the tip of the nose, I couldn't help but think of the letter that Lin Ze sent back in the morning.Daiyu choked up in a low voice and said: "Bad brother, you didn't know you came back after walking for so long." Because she thought of what Jia Min said earlier, it is self-evident why Lin Ze came back at this time up.Then he smiled and buried his head in the quilt again, "It's because you have a heart, you still remember that my birthday is coming, hmph, bad brother."

But Lin Zeyin and Shui Zhan sailed back to Yangzhou and passed by other places. Although Shui Zhan wanted to stop the boat and take Lin Ze for a tour, Lin Ze refused.Not for anything else, just because he promised Daiyu to go back before her birthday, and another thing, when he went to the capital from Yangzhou, he just got off the boat to buy some playthings, but when he met such a fool, he felt disgusted Naturally refused.Shui Zhan had no choice but to rely on him.

They sailed for several days, and the weather was not very good, with occasional light rain.Unexpectedly, one day, the wind suddenly blew up, the waves were high and the wind was rough, and Lin Ze was resting in the cabin, when the ship shook suddenly, almost throwing him off the bed onto the board.Busy woke up, reached out and grabbed the edge of the bed.Just when he was wondering, he heard a heavy knock on the door, and Shui Zhan's eager voice came in through the thin door panel.

Lin Ze stabilized his body, got off the boat to open the door anyway, and as soon as he opened it, Shui Zhan had already hugged Lin Ze forcefully. "Third brother?"

Shui Zhan froze slightly, and he let go of Lin Ze after a while, and looked at Lin Ze with concern in his eyes, "Just now the boatman said, I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily, I'm worried about you..." Then he closed the door, He brought Lin Ze back to the bed, looked Lin Ze up and down, and was relieved. "It's a good thing you're fine, otherwise I'd really be damned—" After a pause, seeing Lin Ze looking at him with clear eyes, he changed his words abruptly and said, "If you have something wrong, I'm really sorry Mr. trust in me."

"Third brother, don't worry. The boat will naturally be rushed and slow. Even if there is a heavy rain, it will not last long."

Shui Zhan also nodded in agreement: "Yes, our hull is strong, and the helm is a very experienced veteran, so naturally nothing will happen." Then, he took a deep look at Lin Ze, and emphasized again: "I will definitely Nothing will happen to you."

Lin Ze didn't hear anything wrong, but felt that the ship was shaking, but his head was a little dizzy. "Third brother, I seem to be seasick." As he spoke, he wanted to touch his forehead with his hand.

But Shui Zhan moved faster than him. As early as when he was speaking, he had already moved close to Lin Ze's forehead to check the temperature.Lin Ze only felt warmth on his forehead, and when he opened his slightly closed eyes, he saw Shui Zhan's face close at hand.The eyes of the two met each other, and they were both a little dazed.Lin Ze's face turned red immediately, and even the roots of his ears were flushed with a thin layer of blush.

Seeing his demeanor, Shui Zhan didn't like it, and finally did what he always wanted to do but dared not do.Stretched out his hand to touch Lin Ze's earballs, the tentacles were round and small, so delicate that Shui Zhan rubbed them lightly for fear of breaking them. He blinked and smiled, "Brother Ze..." As soon as the words came out of his mouth , only to feel that the hot breath is different from usual.

Lin Ze was startled, and was about to back away when an arm wrapped around him at some point behind him, wrapping him tightly so that he wouldn't fall off the edge of the bed and couldn't break free from his embrace.The earlobe was being rubbed, and the waist was still hugged by people. Lin Ze felt sadly that the temperature on his face was getting higher and higher. "Third brother, don't..." Lin Ze wished he could bite off his tongue after he said a few words. When did his voice become so soft and sweet? It's just, it's just, it's just... shameful up!

Sure enough, hearing Lin Ze's voice, Shui Zhan's smile deepened, and he felt that the child in his arms had lost his usual gentle and refined self-restraint, and turned out to be so cute and charming.Seeing that Lin Ze's clear eyes were covered with a thin layer of water, Shui Zhan hooked his lips with a smile, and lifted a few inches under Lin Ze's surprised gaze, and the thin lips were precisely printed on Lin Ze's face. On those clear eyes.

"Brother Ze..." My little Jiu'er.Shui Zhan kissed Lin Ze's eyes as if sighing, and when he stepped back, only tenderness remained.He was not good at doing this, but when he saw Lin Ze, the feeling of cuddling with Lin Ze day and night in his youth urged him to keep getting close to Lin Ze and treat him tenderly.

Lin Ze, who was disguised as frivolous, didn't expect these twists and turns, but felt that the thin lips printed by Shui Zhan on his eyelids were scaldingly hot.He hurriedly touched Shui Zhan's forehead with his hands, but felt bad, so he leaned over to touch his forehead, and it turned out that the heat was too high.Hastily said: "Third brother, you are hot!"

"Well, yes." Unexpectedly, Shui Zhan admitted very generously.Yes, he just has a fever, and the temperature is a little too high.Seeing Lin Ze puffing his cheeks and disapproving, Shui Zhan smiled again.If he hadn't had a fever, how could he have dared to get so close to Lin Ze? In his usual sober state, he would have retreated a long time ago.Shen Yu is right, since Xiao Jiuer was given to Lin Ruhai back then, there will be no more Xiao Jiuer in this world from now on, only a little boy named Lin Ze, who is cute, gentle and elegant, and can afford the Lin family. lintel.

However, I am not reconciled!

Seeing Lin Ze slowly supporting him to lie on the bed, Shui Zhan blinked, the scene in front of him was clearly a little blurry, but Lin Ze's little face carved with jade was clearly in front of his eyes.Gentle eyebrows, delicate facial features, soft temperament.This is Xiao Jiu'er, who has been accompanied by him day and night since he was born. He has grown up so much, looks so good-looking, is so pleasing, and... makes him like it.

He raised his hand to touch Lin Ze's cheek, but found that his arm was too heavy to lift.Shui Zhan couldn't help feeling a little bit wronged, but in Lin Ze's eyes, he was very surprised.

From Lin Ze's point of view, Shen Zhan, since the first meeting, has already left a deep impression on him of being taciturn, calm and self-sufficient.This impression was so deep that when I corresponded with Shen Zhan later and saw him write such a thick stack of letters, he was very surprised. He never thought that such a quiet person would have such a warm side. .Later, Shen Zhan's sudden anger in the academy surprised Lin Ze even more.He thought that even if a person like Shen Zhan was angry, he should not show his emotions or anger.

And now?Looking at the aggrieved Shen Zhan on the bed, Lin Ze almost wanted to throw the table!What is it all about? With such a handsome and handsome young man with facial features, please respect yourself!This kind of aggrieved look of a child who couldn't get candy, like throwing a tantrum, is really not suitable to appear on such a handsome face, bastard!

Lin Ze, whose heart had already been galloped by [-] grass-mud horses, glanced lightly at Shen Zhan, who was unconsciously showing off his cuteness. After sighing, it was very hard to be ruthless after all, so he silently stuffed his hand into Shen Zhan's palm inside.Sure enough, Shen Zhan, who was still aggrieved and unhappy, immediately burst into a smile, so bright that it almost blinded Lin Ze's eyes.

Not so cute!

On this night of wind, rain, lightning, and thunder, the outside of the cabin is rainy and cold, but inside the cabin is full of warmth.One hand of Lin Ze was held by Shui Zhan, not very tightly, much lighter than Shui Zhan's holding Lin Ze before.But Lin Ze was reluctant to break away, even when changing the cold towel for Shui Zhan, he only did it with one hand.

Lin Ze, who hadn't closed his eyes all night, showed a smile when he turned his head and saw the sunlight seeping in from outside the cabin.Reaching out to take off the cold towel on Shui Zhan's forehead, he leaned over and touched his own forehead, it's good, it's not hot anymore.

The big rock in his heart fell to the ground, and he was overwhelmed by exhaustion. Lin Ze couldn't hold it anymore, and fell asleep beside Shui Zhan with his head tilted.It's just that Lin Ze, who was extremely sleepy, still didn't forget to hold Shui Zhan's big hand tightly, with his small head lying on Shui Zhan's side, breathing long.

When Shui Zhan woke up again, he saw Lin Ze sleeping soundly, but his posture was very awkward.It was as if he had purposely slept on the edge of the bed, for fear of bumping into him and disturbing his sleep.The morning sun is not very warm, but it is so warm that people want to sigh comfortably.Shui Zhan looked down at Lin Ze, with that soft little hand still in his palm, he hooked his lips silently, Shui Zhan pulled Lin Ze into his embrace with a little force on his arm.

Just sleep for a while, this time, I will take care of you.

Seeing Lin Ze's sleeping face, Shui Zhan's heart moved slightly, but he still couldn't help leaning over and kissing Lin Ze's side face.When she fell back on the pillow again, the smile on her lips was satisfying no matter how she looked.It's great, it's still the same as when I was a child, even if you are Lin Ze now, in my heart, you are still the little Jiu'er that no one can replace.

In other words, the sky cleared up after the storm, and Shui Zhan recovered from his illness, so Lin Ze naturally had everything in his heart.It didn't take more than a month for the boat to go to Yangzhou.He just arrived in Yangzhou, Lin Ze was not in a hurry to go back home, he just sent Licorice and Changning back to report the news, but he took Chang'an for a stroll in Yangzhou city.

Shui Zhan also wandered around with Lin Ze for a while in doubt. Seeing Lin Ze looking at this and touching that, he asked, "What are you looking for?"

Lin Ze was about to answer when he looked up and saw a shop, before he could speak, he went there.Shui Zhan took a step behind him, and also looked up. There was a door plaque on the front of the shop, which was called "Gu Yuxuan".It seems that you are going to buy jade?Thinking that Lin Ze wanted to buy jade as a gift, his eyes darkened.

"Boss, if you have any good jade, just bring it to me." As he said that, he sat down aggressively, just like a wealthy local man.

The corner of the boss's eyes twitched, and when he was about to speak, he saw another young gentleman coming in from outside the door. Although the color of the clothes on his body was not very bright, the workmanship was very good.The boss is a businessman, so he naturally has a pair of discerning eyes.Seeing that the young gentleman was sitting next to the young one, he guessed that they must be together, there is no reason for the distinguished guests to refuse, so naturally they went back to find the best jade and showed them to them.

All of a sudden, the boss brought up a tray, on which there were beautiful jade, some seed materials, some polished but not engraved with patterns, and some made into jade plaques.Lin Ze picked them one by one, but he was not very satisfied, so he asked if there were any other good jades.

The boss is also very wink, just said: "Yes
