Childhood Sweethearts of a Family: The Delicate Girl

Chapter 72

Naturally, Qi Haoran was not the last to know about Lin Yuan's uncle and cousin coming.Before Lin Hao and Lin Jing arrived, Qi Haoran already knew the news.

Even if Mrs. Lin didn't say anything, he understood the situation.Simply because there are many things to do at the end of the year, and if you get busy, you probably won't be able to go to the Lin Mansion every three days as before, so it doesn't matter much to Qi Haoran.

Although Qi Haoran was restricted, Qi Yingyu naturally had nothing to do with it.Because Qi Haoran was busy, Qi Yingyu simply went to the Lin Mansion more diligently than before, and often asked Lin Yuan to go out to play, and by the way helped her brother deliver letters, and then helped her good friend Lin Yuan deliver letters. An important figure in Hongyan's biography.

On this day, Qi Yingyu asked Lin Yuan and Xu Yueqiu, who was about to get married in June next year, to go to the other courtyard that he had won from General Li before to enjoy the plum blossoms.

The trees planted in that other courtyard are all plum trees, including the roadside, all are plum trees.In addition, there is a very small Merlin.The first time Qi Yingyu went there was when the plum blossoms were in full bloom in winter, so she was always impressed and thought it was really beautiful.

In order to send a letter to her brother, Qi Yingyu went to the Lin's house early to deliver the letter to Lin Yuan, and she had to calculate the time so that Lin Yuan could write a reply without delaying the meeting with Xu Yueqiu. It was still early when she arrived at the Lin's house.

Lin Yuan was still with Mrs. Lin at this time, and several of Lin Yuan's sisters-in-law were also chatting together, and Qi Yingyu was a frequent visitor and knew the Lin family well, so when she arrived, the servants greeted her while notifying her. Mrs. Lin's yard went.

It happened that Lin Jing came to greet Mrs. Lin. He would come to greet Mrs. Lin every day, and the time was almost fixed. The rest of the time, he seemed to be reading in the study.

When she first came to the capital, Lin Jing didn't know many people here, so she basically didn't go out.Even if they go out sometimes, they must be accompanied by Lin Yuan's elder brother or led by his father Lin Hao.

Because Lin Jing is not young, and he was not familiar with him before, Lin Yuan didn't have much contact with him, but from the only contact he felt, he was nice.It is also because of this that alienation is alienation, but it is also polite, and conflicts are not a thing.

Every time he came to greet Mrs. Lin, he would not sit there for too long, and it happened that the servant girl opened the curtain outside and reported that Qi Yingyu was coming. Lin Jing, who hadn't sat down for a long time, consciously avoided suspicion and hurriedly got up to talk to everyone. leave.Mrs. Lin didn't keep him, she said a few more words, and Lin Jing hurriedly withdrew.

It is now the end of October, and it will be November soon. It has been more than half a month since Lin Jing went to the capital to live in the Lin Mansion.Although Qi Yingyu had been to the Lin Mansion several times, she had never met Lin Yuan's cousin.She was not curious about Lin Yuan, her cousin, and there was even less chance of meeting him.

Today was a bit of a surprise.

The servant girl here led Qi Yingyu to Mrs. Lin's yard, and Lin Jing had just come out of the yard. Accidentally, the two met face to face.

This is the servant girl's negligence, not letting the two of them escape in advance.Therefore, when the servant girl saw Lin Jing for the first time, she also panicked, and hurriedly saluted and shouted, "Master Tang."

Qi Yingyu glanced at Lin Jing, wondering if this is Lin Yuan's little cousin?It was just this one look that made Qi Yingyu take care of her.

It's not that she has never seen good-looking people, or it should be said that she has seen many good-looking people, gentle ones, or heroic ones, not a few.Not to mention anything else, at least her father and elder brother belong to the good-looking category, and General Li is not bad looking.

Even so, Qi Yingyu was still amazed by Lin Jing.When the word "amazing" flashed in her mind, Qi Yingyu couldn't help laughing.Whenever she knew that a man met a beautiful woman, she would love to say that she was amazed, but this word came to her mind right now.

Lin Jing was wearing an ultramarine cloud-pattern brocade robe today, and a black-blue ermine cloak with dark bamboo patterns embroidered with silver threads. The collar was lined with off-white fur around the neck.

His appearance already looked gentle, and this kind of clothes made him look like a graceful tree, and he didn't feel romantic or dandy in the slightest.

Compared to Qi Yingyu who looked at Lin Jing boldly and without any scruples, Lin Jing quickly looked away, silently nodded to Qi Yingyu, and then left without much pause, even Qi Yingyu I didn't see clearly what the length of the language looked like.

If Lin Jing had to describe her, she would only think of her as a young girl with very lively eyes.

The two of them just met each other in such a simple and ordinary way, and they walked past each other.

When Lin Jing left, Qi Yingyu turned her head to look at him, paused for a while, and then went inside.

After Qi Yingyu greeted Mrs. Lin and Lin Yuan's three sister-in-laws, Mrs. Lin sent Lin Yuan to take Qi Yingyu to her own yard.

However, Qi Yingyu, who had just walked out of Mrs. Lin's yard and was still excited about meeting Lin Jing, hurriedly said to Lin Yuan, "Your cousin looks so good-looking! Is he not married yet? Such a good-looking person , are you still not married? Think about my brother, he is already engaged to you!"

Lin Yuan didn't expect Qi Yingyu to mention her cousin, so she asked her directly, "Did you see my cousin? When? Could it be just now?"

"That's right, I ran into them accidentally just now, so we met each other." Qi Yingyu replied.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I don't know much about my little cousin. Although it is true that he is not married, I don't know if he is engaged or not."

Qi Yingyu nodded, stopped continuing this topic, and talked about other things with Lin Yuan instead.

Seeing that she seemed to be just curious for a while, Lin Yuan didn't think too much about it, and just mentioned it in the letter with Qi Haoran.

Although Lin Yuan thinks Li Xiaojun and Li Xuan are very good, she can't help her in the matter of feelings. It's not a good thing if Qi Yingyu has no intention of Li Xuan's affection.

But think about it again, not to mention whether there is little general Li, Qi Yingyu and her cousin may not have such a thing.Not to mention other things, she is already engaged to Qi Yingyu's brother, and will be Qi Yingyu's sister-in-law in terms of title in the future.If Qi Yingyu was with her little cousin, wouldn't she be her cousin?

It seems that no matter what Qi Yingyu thinks about this matter, it is basically impossible.

Qi Haoran's busy work lasted until the end of the year, when the annual holiday started a few days before the New Year's Day. From October to this period, Lin Yuan and him only met twice.

Probably due to the previous six years of separation, coupled with the frequent correspondence, Qi Haoran sent someone to bring some fruit and snacks to Lin's residence from time to time. Lin Yuan didn't find it difficult to endure, but passed by because Qi Yingyu and Qi Yingyu often went out to play. become more and more fulfilling.

As the New Year's Eve approached, things in the yamen were temporarily put down.After all, it doesn't mean that they have a lot of free time. Qi Haoran and Lin Yuan met outside for a while, and then went to their own busy schedules.

With Lin Yuan's uncle and little cousin here, the New Year in Lin's residence will be even more lively this year.

Xu Yueshan is now seven months pregnant and is only waiting for her due date in March next year.Mrs. Lin was sympathetic to her body and didn't let her keep watch at night, but Xu Yueshan said it's okay and refused to leave, so she sat in the living room with everyone.

Although Lin Yuan is 13 years old and has not yet married, she still gets the same big red envelopes as her six little nephews.Not only that, but this year there are more big red envelopes from uncles and cousins, and the harvest is even richer than in previous years.

Everyone in the Lin family gathered in the living room to chat leisurely as in previous years, and they didn't go to rest until the new year came.

Even though it was New Year's Eve, there was a snowfall tonight, and the road was not easy to walk at the moment. Lin Yuan was accompanied by the maids Bi Yi and Bi Sha back to the yard.

Biyi and Bisha helped Lin Yuan take off her cloak, and then helped her wash and freshen up. When they finished their work, it was even later.Lin Yuan sent them back to rest, and did not forget to reward each of them with a thick red envelope, which was an affirmation of their service to her.

Lin Yuan lay on the bed, lightly sleepy, but still closed her eyes, thinking that she would definitely fall asleep after a while.But I didn't want to close my eyes for a while, and then I heard the sound of knocking on the wooden window.With such a sudden voice, Lin Yuan thought for a moment that she had heard it wrong, but finally opened her eyes.

In the dark, when it was so quiet, such a not-so-loud sound was especially obvious, and it was impossible to lie to myself that it was an illusion.

With Qi Haoran's experience of overcoming the wall several times before, Lin Yuan guessed that it should be him.Even though I thought so, I still had a bit of vigilance in my heart, only worried that I might make a mistake.

Lin Yuan lifted the quilt, put on a coat, put on embroidered shoes, and tiptoed to the window.The windows are closed, so naturally no one can see outside.

However, the people outside specially lit a candle with a torch, and in an instant, a black shadow fell on the window paper.What Lin Yuan noticed was not a figure, but something that someone outside specially held up for her to see.

The servant girl who noticed the movement outside asked, and Lin Yuan replied that it was nothing, then held back a smile and pushed open the window herself.

Suddenly, the cold wind came in, and she couldn't help shivering, but she also saw the people outside the window.

If it wasn't Qi Haoran, who else?
