It is also the period of the temple market in Beijing, and the streets are bustling with people.

All kinds of vendors put all kinds of goods on the street for sale, and the crowds of people were very lively.

Of course, this kind of market is mainly aimed at ordinary people in the market, and the people who pass by are mainly in rough clothes and short brown.Especially near noon, when the sun is shining brightly, those rare brocade and silk gowns have almost disappeared.

Those who can afford silk and satin gowns are not only scholars but also come from wealthy families. It is rare for them to bask in the sun with ordinary people in the street on a hot day.

But there are exceptions—

"Daddy, how about we find a place to rest our feet and have a cup of herbal tea?" Lin Shengyu wrinkled her little face that was flushed by the sun, and said pitifully.

"Why, can't you bear this bit of suffering?"

Lin Ruhai glanced back at him, and didn't intend to stop.Although he was also complaining about the sweltering weather in his heart, the sweat soaked through the gown, making it uncomfortable against the skin.However, you still have to maintain the dignity you deserve in front of your son.

"Daddy, it's nothing for my son to suffer a little. You can't treat outsiders harshly, can you? Look, Brother Ze and Brother Xuan are also tired..."

Lin Ruhai lowered his head to hide the smile on the corner of his mouth, this kid, when he is tired, he still glibly pulls others' backs!

The crown prince Liu Yize and Prince Ying's eldest son Liu Yixuan who were named were both a little helpless.Facing Lin Ruhai's questioning eyes, Liu Yixuan was quite calm, looking back without changing his face.Liu Yize, on the other hand, couldn't hold back anymore. Seeing Sheng Yu's begging and winking gestures, he had no choice but to say: "Mr. Lin, uh, I... I'm really tired..."

Well, it's a poor excuse, but it works.Shengyu has inherited Lin Ruhai's good looks, she is like a dough ball, and at the age of five, she is so cute that people can't bear to refuse.As the crown prince, Liu Yize had no real brothers or friends except his cousin Liu Yixuan.Those who came into contact with him were either scheming everywhere, or flattering and fawning all the time, which would only make people feel that their acting skills were clumsy.Seeing Shengyu these days, her innocent and natural attitude really made him relax physically and mentally a lot, so why not help him once for this point?

"Then go to the front teahouse to have a rest, the two young masters invite you first." Lin Ruhai bowed and said, the status of the crown prince still made him a little scrupulous.

"Mr. Lin please!" Liu Yize insisted.

Lin Ruhai also appreciated it, and led a group of people into the teahouse.The waiter knew at a glance that he was a big customer, he nodded and bowed and invited him to the private room upstairs, where he served him with good water and tea.This is a relatively high-end tea house, and ice cubes are placed in the private room to cool down.Several people felt a sense of coolness when they came in. Next to the window was a long table with two chairs on both sides.This is undoubtedly a kind of salvation for the hot and tired people who have just returned from the scorching sun.

Sheng Yu was the first to cheer, and opened the window to see the business people downstairs.

The rest of the people also sat down and drank tea slowly.

Lin Ruhai spread out her fan and fanned it gracefully, with a smile on her lips.In fact, these are all appearances. The fact is that he is a little unhappy now. May I ask who doesn't stay in his own home to enjoy the cool air on a hot day?It's not for the entrustment of the emperor and Prince Ying, it's finally Xiu Mu's turn, he's stupid to do this!However, today's move can be regarded as rewarding. His Royal Highness and this son are very resolute, and they also care about the suffering of the people. They are talents.

"Daddy, daddy, do you think that windmill looks good? Buy one for my sister."

Lin Ruhai frowned with a headache, this kid is here again, how many times is this the first time today?Can not remember.For a while, I said that the clay figurine was beautiful, so I bought one for my sister; for a while, I said that the spinning top was fun, so I bought one for my sister; even the little sword was so delicate, so I bought one for my sister.Of course, many of them were really sold to Daiyu, such as flower baskets, revolving lanterns, masks, sugar figurines, etc., but girls would not be interested in small swords, carts, spinning tops and the like.

How much of this is selfish is simply obvious.

Lin Ruhai sighed secretly: This kid has become a genius, knowing that he bought it for Daiyu, he would not refuse.It's just... still a little short of heat.He really wanted to shout at this kid: You are such a stingy old man!Say you want it yourself?but--

The windmill this time should really be bought for Daiyu.

"Sit down honestly, and I will let people go down to buy."

"Thank you, dad." Shengyu was so happy that she hugged Lin Ruhai's neck and climbed onto him.Lin Ruhai frowned, but did not stop.

"Lord Lin and Shengyu are so close." His Highness the Crown Prince couldn't help sighing.

Born in the palace, everyone seems to be born with a mask, and it's hard to see such true feelings.He was established as a prince since he was a child, and he has received a lot of love from his father than ordinary princes, but he has never been so close. Sometimes he envies the ordinary family. It seems that it is a good thing for parents and brothers to love each other and support each other.But—he didn't get along with Shengyu very much, but he heard her mention his sister more than once, and he was a little curious about what is so special about the daughter who can make Mrs. Lin love her like a pearl.

"He, little mischievous one, only causes trouble!"

"My lord is too modest, Shengyu is only five years old, she has already read a lot of books, and she is much better than others. She is so intelligent, I am afraid that only my cousin in the world can match her." He pointed to Liu Yixuan who was sitting beside him .

Lin Ruhai waved his hand and said, "I'm ashamed, the prince is much better than the son."

His words were definitely not flattery, even if he didn't want to, he had to admit that this Liu Yixuan had extraordinary insight at such a young age, coupled with his extraordinary comprehension and the ability to have a photographic memory.It is not an exaggeration to say that among the people he has met, only his precious daughter Daiyu can match her intelligence.But at this moment, he would definitely not tell his daughter about it, and the Prince of England would miss it even more if he spared it.

"Uncle Lin, thank you." Liu Yixuan calmly put down his tea bowl and nodded.

Too conceited!Lin Ruhai let out a heavy breath, and her beautiful beard trembled a few times.He didn't expect this kid to have no humility.

After eating tea, they walked around for a while, and unknowingly walked to the gate of the Lin Mansion. Lin Ruhai invited the crown prince and the eldest son to sit down at his house, and they readily agreed.Shengyu went straight to Zhu Yunxuan after entering the mansion, and showed her sister one by one the things she bought.Seeing his excited appearance, Daiyu also commented on each of them with great interest.Most of them were bought for Daiyu, and a few of them were what he wanted to play with himself, so he took them out first and asked Daiyu if he wanted them.

Daiyu smiled and picked up a delicate little sword: "I like this."

"Sister, do you really like it?" Sheng Yu looked at the little sword eagerly, his eyes flickering, and he looked very reluctant.

"Well, I really like it. Look at how delicate it is." She stroked it with her hand, looking like she really liked it.

"Then... since my sister likes it, let's take it." He closed his eyes and cruelly pushed the little sword towards Daiyu, lowered his head and twisted his fingers, "If I knew my sister liked it, I would have bought two."

"Pfft..." Cuizhu couldn't help laughing beside her.Sheng Yu raised her head and stared at her, Cui Zhu laughed harder, bent down and called "Ouch", while saying: "My young master, can't you see that the girl is teasing you? Girls don't like knives." , Sword, she, at most, likes rare ancient books and original works of famous artists, if you are serious, you can find these, and make sure that the girl will smile when she sees it."

"Sister, is what she said true?"

Daiyu nodded and said: "I don't like these fighting things. So..." She handed the sword to Shengyu, "You should take this one!"

"Sister, I will help you find some lonely books and paintings in the future. Sister, which ancient works do you like?"

"I don't stick to a certain person, as long as there is excellence in others."

"Okay, I remember."

It is harmonious here, but it is another scene in the living room of Lin's family at the moment.Liu Yixuan sat upright with no expression on his face, Liu Yize sneered secretly, pressing the corner of his mouth, Lin Ruhai frowned and stared at the maidservants kneeling on the ground, one of them was trembling with fright.Going back to the origin, it's not a big deal, it's just that the maid accidentally spilled the tea when serving it, but most of the bowl of tea spilled on Liu Yixuan's body, which made Lin Ruhai very depressed.The maids who serve guests with tea and water are all carefully selected, and there has never been such a mistake, but today...

"Lord Lin, that girl didn't do it on purpose, I hope you will forgive her." His Royal Highness Liu Yize said, "This place is not far from the palace, let's send someone back to get a piece of clothes for Brother Xuan to change."

He could see clearly what happened just now, if his cousin hadn't put on a bad face to look at her, that girl would not have missed her.No matter how old he is, he still has this strange temper. Apart from his close relatives such as grandmother, mother, sisters and nurse since childhood, whenever other women come close, he will inevitably frown.I don't know what's wrong with it, it seems to have been like this since I was very young, and I was only two or three years old when I could speak.It was only later that everyone discovered that he was not used to smelling the smell of makeup on women, and the girls who served around him no longer used makeup.But he still doesn't like to get close to girls, he usually avoids them when he can, and the people who serve him are all servants.

Alas, in this situation, I don't know what to do when I marry a daughter-in-law.That girl just accidentally touched him with her clothes, and she looked like she was touched.Well, although people put on a little too much makeup, but this is not in your own home, you should at least give others a little face.Liu Yize had deep understanding and sympathy for the girl who missed her. He was sometimes panicked when he saw his cousin's angry face, let alone a girl who had never seen anything in the world.

After all, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who interceded, so Lin Ruhai wanted to show some face, and waved his hand to make people back down.

Lin Ruhai was about to ask someone to get the clothes, when Liu Yixuan said, "Uncle Lin, don't bother, it's not like winter, it's hot, and it will dry after a while after wiping. Uncle Shi insisted on sending someone to run around in the scorching sun, but let me I'm sorry."

Seeing that what he said was reasonable, Lin Ruhai gave up.

After this incident, Lin Ruhai, who didn't know the inside story, had a somewhat changed view of Liu Yixuan.This matter was the mistake of his maidservant, yet Liu Yixuan was able to deal with it calmly, he was considerate in every aspect, it was really reserved.
