The seven words that Lin Wanrong wrote were "Misty Dancing in the Dock, Misty House". It was already very difficult to match this couplet, but what was even more difficult was that it was exactly the same sound as the second half of the High Chancellor's couplet, and the artistic conception was even better.
Luo Ning said emotionally, "Brother Lin, with just this couplet alone, no one in the world can compare to you." Qiaoqiao tightly snuggled up to Lin Wanrong, her small hand holding his arm, her eyes shining with happiness.
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Miss Luo, please pass this couplet to your Senior Friend. I don't want to hang it on a high pavilion, I just want her to stop casually guessing people's minds."
Luo Ning nodded and said, "Brother Lin is indeed an extraordinary person, little sister admires you very much, I will definitely pass on your message."
They chatted for a while, Luo Ning and Qiaoqiao were very surprised by what happened in Hangzhou, so Lin Wanrong talked about what happened along the way, especially the fight with Tao Dongcheng in the Qing Yu building. This story had long been widely spread in Jinling's business world, Luo Ning and Qiaoqiao had heard it from others, now listening to him tell it, they felt even more thrilling and exciting.
The principle of washing one's hands in a pot of oil, made Luo Ning even more amazed, "Everything has a physics, this is good, but to be familiar with and master this physics is not easy. Brother Lin is really knowledgeable, your knowledge is extensive. Tao Dongcheng is cunning and treacherous, but he knows nothing about this physics, so it is natural that he would suffer a big loss. That's right, Brother Lin, the jade that the westerners brought, is it really that attractive? "
Lin Wanrong smiled and took out the agate diamond that Tavone gave him. Qiaoqiao and Luo Ning immediately exclaimed, even Qing Shan and Dong, who had been resting with their eyes closed, were dumbfounded.
The diamond was sparkling and translucent, overflowing with light and color. Under the illumination of the lights, it shone with a colorful radiance. It was an absolute lady-killer. Even a woman as indifferent as Qiaoqiao couldn't help but be intoxicated by it. Although Luo Ning was the most talented woman in Jinling, she was also very excited when she saw the diamond. Her eyes were filled with love.
"Big Brother, where did you get this stone? I'll go pick some too. "Dong Qingshan said while drooling.
Lin Wanrong was sweating profusely. He didn't expect the diamond to be so attractive to Qing Shan. It was a mistake to take it out so early. He only had one of these diamonds, but he already had three or four wives. The attraction of diamonds to women was obvious. If Qing Xuan, Second Young Mistress, and Qiaoqiao all came to him for diamonds, wouldn't there be a fight?
"Big brother, is this a diamond? It's really beautiful, "Qiaoqiao said blankly.
Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Yes. This is known as the Agate Diamond. It's very rare in the West. I only have this one. "
Luo Ning sighed, "It's really crystal clear and noble. Big Brother's words, 'A diamond is everlasting, and one will be passed down forever' are truly apt. "
Lin Wanrong saw that Qiaoqiao liked it very much, so he handed the diamond to her and said, "Little darling, this diamond is for you."
Qiaoqiao was stunned. She didn't even care that he was teasing her in public. She said with surprise and joy, "Big brother, what did you say? Are you really going to give it to me? "
Luo Ning heard his words clearly. Looking at the shining diamond, a trace of envy flashed in her eyes.
Lin Wanrong nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, it's for you." Qiaoqiao was the first girl he liked in this world, and she was so innocent and infatuated. This diamond was given to her, and she deserved it.
Qiaoqiao's eyes flashed with a deep surprise. She snuggled up to him and said softly, "Big brother, you're so nice."
She held the diamond in her hand and gently stroked it. Her eyes flashed with a trace of reluctance. Then she handed the diamond back to Lin Wanrong and said firmly, "Big brother, I can't take this diamond."
Lin Wanrong was surprised and asked, "Why?"
Qiaoqiao looked at him and said shyly, "Big brother, you just said that there's only one diamond. I can't be so selfish. This diamond should be left to sister Qing Xuan. She's from a noble family. This diamond is a good match for her. "
I'm touched. Where can I find such a cute and obedient girl? She's not married yet and she already knows to think for her sisters. She's really a big treasure.
Luo Ning saw Qiaoqiao's refusal and felt strange. She said, "Qiaoqiao, who is this sister Qing Xuan you're talking about?"
Qiaoqiao looked shyly at Lin Wanrong and said softly, "Big brother's confidante."
Luo Ning glanced at Lin Wanrong and let out an 'oh' before falling silent.
Now, I'm giving this one to you. It has a special meaning. You must accept it. "Luo Ning looked at Lin Wanrong and said faintly," Oh, you must not worry. When the next batch of diamonds comes, I'll leave one for sister Qing Xuan and sister Yushuang. It won't be worse than this one. Now, I'm giving this one to you. It has a special meaning. You must accept it. "
Tavone had already returned to Hai 'an with some China craftsmen under Xu Wei's arrangement to repair his ironclad ship. Lin Wanrong had already discussed with Tavone that they would use Hai 'an as a port to exchange silk, cloth, perfume, and soap for diamonds. The remaining diamonds in Tavone's hands were all small. Regardless of color or hardness, they were far inferior to this one. If they wanted to find a diamond comparable to this agate diamond, they could only wait for Tavone's next visit.
Qiaoqiao looked at him and finally let out a soft hum. She blushed and lowered her head to hold the diamond tightly in her hand.
Lin Wanrong turned his head and said to Dong Rende, "Uncle Dong, I have a request. I don't know if Uncle can agree?"
Dong Rende smiled and said, "Wanrong, if you have something to say, just say it. Why are you so polite?" Ever since the ambiguous relationship between Qiaoqiao and Lin Wanrong was exposed, he had lowered Lin Wanrong's status from "Young Master Lin" to "Wanrong".
Lin Wanrong said loudly, "I want to ask Uncle Dong for Qiaoqiao's hand in marriage. I will use this diamond as a betrothal gift."
Qiaoqiao let out a soft cry. Her face was burning. She was so shy that she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at him. Her small hand tightly held the diamond and obediently snuggled up to Lin Wanrong's side.
His daughter had long been abducted. What else could Dong say? He nodded and said with a smile, "It should have been like this long ago. Qiaoqiao has already accepted this betrothal gift. Do I still need to say more? "
Everyone laughed heartily. Qiaoqiao's heart had long been surrounded by great surprise and sweetness. Hearing everyone's laughter, she flew upstairs to her boudoir like a frightened rabbit.
Lin Wanrong looked at Qiaoqiao's delicate back and was also very surprised. He turned his head and said to Dong, "Uncle, I will go to the capital after the New Year. Today is the engagement. When I come back from the capital next year, I will marry Qiaoqiao."
A soft sound came from upstairs. It seemed that something had fallen to the ground. Lin Wanrong hurried upstairs and saw that Qiaoqiao was hurriedly cleaning up a broken teacup.
Seeing him come up, Qiaoqiao could no longer suppress her emotions. She fell into his arms and said softly, "Brother, are you leaving?"
Lin Wanrong knew that she must have heard what he said downstairs. She was so shocked that she even broke the teacup. Lin Wanrong felt guilty and distressed. He hugged her soft body tightly and said softly, "Silly girl, I will leave after the New Year. Why are you so worried?"
Qiaoqiao's nose turned sour. Tears flowed down and she said, "Brother, I am afraid — —"
"What are you afraid of?" Lin Wanrong asked curiously.
"I am afraid that you will not want me when you come back from the capital — —" Qiaoqiao choked with sobs and tears fell down her cheeks.
"You little girl, you always think nonsense." Lin Wanrong kissed her face and said softly, "You are my little baby. You are gentle and obedient. I don't even have time to feel sorry for you. How can I not want you?"
Qiaoqiao raised her head and looked at him and said, "There are many beautiful young ladies in the capital. Brother, you are so talented. I am afraid that you will not want to come back when the time comes."
"Silly girl, why are you worried about this? I have proposed to your father today. You are now my wife. When I come back from the capital, we will get married. " Lin Wanrong wiped away the tears on her face and said with a smile, "I am going to the capital to find Qing Xuan. When I find her, I will bring her back and marry both of you."
Qiaoqiao's little face blushed. She snuggled in his arms and said softly, "Brother, whether you come back or not, Qiaoqiao will always be yours. Alive, I will be a member of the Lin family. Dead, I will be a ghost of the Lin family. I will always wait for you."
Hearing this, Lin Wanrong was touched and angry at the same time. He gently patted her little butt and said, "You silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? What kind of person and ghost are you talking about? Does big brother look like such a fickle person? Although I am a bit of a philanthropist, my principle has always been that when you marry a new person, the old one will wait for you in bed. I will never let you down. "
Qiaoqiao shyly said yes and buried her head in his arms, "Brother, I know I was wrong. Brother treats Qiaoqiao the best. Qiaoqiao will always belong to Brother."
Although Qiaoqiao was smart, she was born at the bottom of society. Compared to Miss Xiao and Xiao Qingxuan, she had a strong sense of inferiority. She also had deep feelings for Lin Wanrong, so she was worried that her brother would never return.
Lin Wanrong heard this and his heart burned. He gently lifted Qiaoqiao's chin and lowered his head to kiss her red lips. Qiaoqiao was excited and shyly welcomed him. The two of them hugged each other tightly. Lin Wanrong's big hand reached into her clothes and slowly stroked her waist, all the way down to her soft and perky butt. It was full, warm, and smooth. Qiaoqiao's body trembled slightly and she obediently let him do whatever he wanted.
Fortunately, it was in the afternoon and there were still Dong, Luo Ning, and the others outside. Lin Wanrong had no choice but to stop his evil hands and comfort Qiaoqiao. He sighed in his heart. Fortunately, he explained the situation to Qiaoqiao. Otherwise, if they went to the capital rashly, this girl would probably jump into the Qinhuai River.
When Lin Wanrong pulled Qiaoqiao out, the little girl's face was still red. Luo Ning looked at the two of them and smiled, "Congratulations, Brother Lin. Congratulations, Sister Qiaoqiao."
Qiaoqiao said shyly, "Sister Ning is also teasing me."
Luo Ning smiled sweetly and looked at Lin Wanrong, "Brother Lin, tomorrow is my grandmother's birthday. Brother Lin, you must come early."
