Xu Wei's mood was very high today. He chatted with Eldest Miss and Lin Wanrong, drank some good wine, and played the zither with the white-haired beauty Su Qinglian, sang some flirtatious songs. For a moment he was in high spirits, and he had the appearance of the number one dissolute scholar in the past.
Xu Zhiqing, on the other hand, was different from the two of them. She hid in her room early to study the Arabic numerals she had just learned. She pulled Lin Wanrong along to ask a few more questions, but the questions were getting more and more difficult and profound.
Lin Wanrong was shocked, but he also admired her a little. With such a studious and hardworking woman taking the lead, the foundation of mathematics should be able to be quickly promoted to all parts of China.
Xu Zhiqing was an extremely generous woman. She was very natural when interacting with him, without the slightest shyness. Lin Wanrong wanted to talk to her about a few off-topic topics, but she lightly rejected him. It seemed that she was not interested in anything other than learning.
Old Xu's family of three stayed there until the evening before they left. When they saw the small palanquins far away, Lin Wanrong let out a long sigh and said, "The old man is finally gone."
The Grand Mistress smiled and glanced at him, "Look at what you're saying. A big shot like Sir Xu can't be invited by others, but why do you look like you've seen a plague?"
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "I'm not annoyed by Old Xu. It's just that his lady is not very active when talking to me. I'm a little annoyed when I see her."
Eldest Young Miss laughed and said, "Look at what kind of things you are pestering Elder Sister Xu to ask about. What came first, the egg or the chicken? The egg is the fertilized egg, the chicken is the fertilized egg, and how can a boar grow fast? Pfft, what kind of nonsense is this — "
Lin Wanrong did not blush and said, "It's all scientific knowledge. If you don't understand, ask me. Why don't you?"
The Grand Mistress smiled and said, "Why would I ask you? If you want me to say it, asking you is equivalent to falling into your trap. Don't treat others as fools. Besides, Elder Sister Xu has this kind of temperament. With her knowledge, it's really difficult to find someone in the world who can make her look at them in the eye. "
F * ck, I don't believe that after today's matter, she would still dare to look at me sideways? Don't treat Third Brother as an incompetent official!
After talking for a while, the Grand Mistress suddenly gently pulled him and said, "Lin San, I want to ask you something. You have to answer me honestly. When you were in Jinling, Mr. Xu said that he wanted you to help him with something. Did he ask you to join the army to destroy the White Lotus Sect?"
Lin Wanrong was taken aback for a moment before he asked curiously, "Why are you asking about this again? I really went to work that day, I didn't slack off. "
The Grand Mistress's eyes reddened. She punched him and said, "You're so annoying. Who's joking with you? I want you to tell the truth."
This matter was already over. There was no need to hide it from her. Lin Wanrong nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, that old man Xu dragged me to the war. I almost lost my life. If it wasn't for Xian 'er, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see you now. However, at least those White Lotus Sect bastards who bullied us were finished. Hey, Grand Mistress, why are you crying? "
Xiao Yuruo anxiously wiped her tears and said, "That day when I waited for you to come back outside the city, was it after you were injured?"
Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Yes, the injury that day wasn't completely healed. It was only because I promised Miss Luo that I would rush back to participate in the poetry competition that I had to rush back overnight."
"You're already injured like that, yet you're still thinking about her?" The Grand Mistress was pained and angry as she said, "For her, you don't even want your life anymore?"
Lin Wanrong saw that the First Miss' tears were flowing down her cheeks, and it seemed like she wouldn't be able to stop them. "What's going on? Why are you suddenly talking about what happened that day? Aren't I better now? I'm even stronger than before. If you don't believe me, you can try hugging me. "
The Grand Mistress desperately bit her lips and looked at him with tearful eyes. She softly said, "Do you hate me? Did I treat you like that that day? " She suddenly burst into tears and said, "I know, you must hate me. When you were so heavily injured, I rejected you outside the door. But I really didn't know. During those days, I wanted to see you, so I waited outside the city every night. When I finally saw you come back, I was happy, but then I saw that you brought two girls. I, I was so angry that I didn't know anything, so I … If you want to say something, it's your fault. Who asked you to be so frivolous? You reap what you sow! "
Sweat, so it was because of this. A jealous woman was indeed a bit retarded, but it was meaningless if she wasn't jealous. He laughed and said, "How can I blame you? You don't know, that day when I was locked out by you, Xian 'er was very good to me. Every day, she would eat ginseng and bird's nest. At night, there was someone to sleep with. She was happy and free like a fairy. "
The Grand Mistress's face turned red and lightly snorted, "Ginseng and bird's nest, we have a lot of it at home. How many do you want? If you want to sleep with me, bah, you don't have any good intentions in your heart. If you want to bully me, you always find excuses. Do you think I'm such a casual woman? "
Lin Wanrong was very clear about Xiao Yuruo's character. This girl was the typical example of a tough mouth but soft heart. As long as he put in some effort, he was sure that she would be as soft as a ball of cotton. He chuckled and said, "Let's not talk about these things. I saw that when Sister Su and Miss Xu left today, you seemed to have given them something again. What was it again? Why did you hide it from me and Old Xu?"
The Grand Mistress's beautiful face turned red and said, "Why do you ask about this? I'm not telling you."
Lin Wanrong laughed, "Isn't it just a few underwear? Do you need to be so mysterious?"
The Grand Mistress was surprised and said, "How did you know? Could it be that you were hiding somewhere and peeking? You damn … "
Her little fists were like the wind, smashing one after another. Lin Wanrong smiled and caught her little hand, saying, "Do you still need to think about it? Looking at you guys sneaking around, I know what you're going to give. Miss Xu's figure is not bad, comparable to the Grand Mistress's. But I don't know what Sister Su looks like in this underwear. Tut, tut, Old Xu got lucky. Tonight, he's going to sing 'Spring River Moonlit Night'. "
Hearing him talk about flowers, the Grand Mistress was already so shy that she used her little fists to teach him a lesson. Lin Wanrong laughed and the two of them became a mess. While the Grand Mistress was happy, she suddenly threw herself into his arms and cried. Her mood was very complicated. It was hard to tell whether it was bitter or sweet.
"Third Brother, Third Brother …" The two of them were in the middle of their passion when they heard a shout from outside. Huan 'er ran into the inner courtyard panting and saw the two of them hugging each other. She was scared and screamed. She quickly turned her head and whispered, "I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything."
Lin Wanrong put on a fierce expression and said, "You really didn't see anything? What I'm best at is killing people to keep them quiet. Tell me, do you choose to rape first and then kill, or kill first and then rape? Or kill while raping? "
Huan 'er's little face was red, but she laughed out loud and said, "Third Brother won't do that. Third Brother is a good person, I'm not afraid …"
Sweat, I'm not successful at being a bad person? The Grand Mistress pinched his waist with a red face and said angrily, "You only know how to talk nonsense. Huan 'er, what happened? "
Huan 'er eased her nervous mood and said, "Grand Mistress, someone sent a letter to Third Brother?"
"Sent a letter to me?" Lin Wanrong said strangely, "I don't seem to know anyone in the capital."
Xiao Yuruo snorted and said, "Who knows? You do a lot of things in private."
As she spoke, she took a letter from Huan 'er's hand. The letter was very thin, and there was a faint fragrance in his hand. It seemed to be written by a woman. The Eldest Miss looked at him with a smile that was not a smile. Lin Wanrong laughed twice, but he was puzzled in his heart. I only know a few people in the capital. Who sent this? Xian 'er? Sister An?
Xiao Yuruo took the letter and didn't open it. She handed it to him and said, "Read it quickly. Don't delay your business."
Lin Wanrong opened the letter and glanced at it. His expression changed immediately and he said in surprise, "Qing Xuan …"
Xiao Qingxuan was not only their mutual savior, but also Lin San's wife. The Grand Mistress hurriedly looked at the letter and saw a few words written on it, "If you want to know about Qing Xuan, go to Birch Forest in the north of the city. Come quickly! "
Lin Wanrong was very excited. He held Huan 'er's small hand tightly and said, "Huan' er, where is she? Where is the person who sent the letter?"
Huan 'er's small hand was hurt by his grip. Her pretty face turned red and she hurriedly looked at the Grand Mistress as if asking for help. Xiao Yuruo hurriedly held his hand and said, "Don't panic. Listen to Huan 'er slowly and let go of your hand."
Lin Wanrong looked anxious. He let go of Huan 'er's hand and said, "Where is the person who sent the letter?"
Huan 'er shook her head and said, "I don't know. Just now, after Mr. Xu left, I was helping out in the shop when I suddenly felt a bit dizzy. After a short while, I became clear-headed. However, there was a letter on the table. It was clearly written that it was for Third Brother, so I hurried to deliver it. "
Lin Wanrong frowned. So Huan 'er didn't even see who the person who sent the letter was? Damn, who was so wicked to send the letter without showing his face? Didn't he know that I was anxious?
The Grand Mistress understood his mood and comforted him, "Don't panic. Look at this letter first. Is this Miss Qing Xuan's handwriting?"
When Lin Wanrong and Xiao Qingxuan stayed in Jinling, they talked and laughed every night. Mo Bao, who was already familiar with Xiao Qingxuan, shook his head and said, "This is not Qing Xuan's handwriting, but this painting is smooth and round. It is a woman's handwriting."
The Grand Mistress nodded and said, "The meaning of this letter is that if you want to know about Miss Xiao, you have to go to the birch forest in the north of the city. Huan 'er, is there a birch forest in the north of the city? "
Huan 'er nodded and said, "Yes, there is a large birch forest dozens of miles away from here."
Hearing this, Lin Wanrong stuffed the letter into his clothes and directly rushed out. The Grand Mistress hurriedly pulled him and said, "Where are you going?"
"Where else can I go? Of course I am going to the north of the city. "Lin Wanrong said anxiously.
The Grand Mistress sighed and said, "This letter has no beginning and no end. There is no title or signature. If someone uses the name of Qing Xuan to send you a letter and take the opportunity to harm you, what will you do? Why is it that when it comes to Qing Xuan, your usual intelligence and wisdom are all gone? Could it be that Miss Xiao is really that powerful? "
Lin Wanrong firmly shook his head and said, "I have no other choice. Qing Xuan is my wife. For her, even if it is a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, I will go."
"You …" Seeing that he was so stubborn, the Grand Mistress was anxious and angry. She snorted and said, "It's not that I don't want you to go. I just want you to make arrangements and ensure that nothing goes wrong before you go."
Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly and said, "I am afraid it is too late. This letter says to hurry. If I am late and miss the opportunity, I will regret it for the rest of my life. Grand Mistress, wait for me at home. "
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out of the door without hesitation and quickly disappeared into the night.
"Go! Go! Don't come back!" The Grand Mistress stamped her feet and cried, "You don't know how to read people's hearts."
Seeing that the Grand Mistress and the Third Brother quarreled, Huan 'er stood in the distance and did not dare to move.
After crying for a while, the Grand Mistress suddenly turned around and went into the house. She tied her cloak tightly and lifted her little feet to go out. Huan 'er was shocked and hurriedly stopped her and said, "Grand Mistress, what are you doing?"
Xiao Yuruo sighed slightly and said, "That dead man is stubborn. If I don't go with him, how can I rest assured?"
Huan 'er said anxiously, "Grand Mistress, it is already dark and it is not easy to go to the north of the city. There were bandits a few days ago. How can you go?"
The Grand Mistress gritted her teeth and said, "I have to go even if I can't. If I die, tell that bad man that I hate him for the rest of my life."
The Grand Mistress rushed out in a hurry while Huan 'er was in a daze. What was going on between the Third Brother and the Grand Mistress? One moment it was as if they had fallen into honey, and the next moment they became enemies. It was really hard to understand.
…
The birch forest in the north of the city was about a dozen miles away from the Xiao Family's shop. The road was bumpy and difficult to walk on. Lin Wanrong was in a hurry, so it only took him less than an hour to arrive.
This birch forest covered a large area, probably more than ten acres. The roots of the birch trees were thick and strong. The old leaves on the branches had fallen and the new leaves had not yet grown. The branches stretched out in the air like thin claws. The cold wind of early spring carried a whimper and rustled the branches, making the forest seem especially lonely.
Lin Wanrong walked to the edge of the forest and saw that there was no one around. He was confused and couldn't help but shout loudly, "Qing Xuan, Qing Xuan, where are you …"
He shouted several times, but the forest was silent. No one answered. The person who asked him to come here was also nowhere to be seen. The dense forest was dark and gloomy, but he couldn't care less. He looked around inside and out but still found nothing.
"Who asked me to come here? Please come out for a chat." He shouted loudly and became more and more anxious. There was still no movement. He was unwilling to wait and was about to shout again when he heard a soft and beautiful voice of a woman, "Your name is Lin Wanrong?"
The voice was sweet and gentle, like the sound of nature. It slowly came from behind him. Lin Wanrong turned around and saw a beautiful figure standing on the treetop. She was dressed in white and her long skirt fluttered in the wind. Her hair hung down and a white veil covered her face.
