Yan Cigui

Chapter 66 Not at all diligent

Lin Yunyan thought for a moment and asked Xu Jian to borrow pen and ink: "I'll give her a post."

Xu Jian glanced into the side room and motioned for her to help herself.

Lin Yunyan stood up and entered the room.

 The study decoration is done here.

The book desk is placed under the window on the side of the yard, with all stationery on it. There is a shelf on the other side with many books standing on it.

 She had seen all of these in Xu Jian's study before.

 Including the book she was sitting and reading just now, she also took it from the shelf.

 There was a screen erected on the side to separate it from the inside. A couch was placed there, which should be used by Xu Jian to rest.

Lin Yunyan opened the window smoothly.

The sun shines in, making the room much brighter.

There was naturally no paper that Lin Yunyan used to write posts here, so she chose the most ordinary piece of paper with no clues, wrote a few lines for Zhu Xian, and then sealed it.

 Fortunately, I brought the seal with me when I went out.

 When Lin Yunyan came out of the study, Xuan Su took the post.

“Chen Dong’s family is having tea next door,” he said, “asking him to send someone to send you to the British government?”

Lin Yunyan nodded: "Tell him to deliver it as soon as possible, and I'll make an appointment with Zhu Xiang to have lunch together."

Xuansu took the order and went.

Xu Jian held the chess pieces, looked up at the sky, and then looked back.

 Meeting for lunch?

 Isn’t it already noon?

Lin Yunyan saw Xu Jian looking at the sky and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

“Not really,” Xu Jian paused, “I just didn’t expect you and Zhu Xian to be quite familiar with each other.”

When she first heard this, Lin Yunyan didn't react for a while.

When she got into the carriage to go to the appointment, she suddenly had an idea and wanted to change her mind.

 When a girl goes out, she takes up time to change clothes and make up.

 To be able to make an appointment so urgently, the relationship must be very close.

Xuan Su returned to the backyard, Xu Jian was still playing chess, and Grandma He's wife was holding Shen Chen and muttering something in a low voice.

Seeing Shen Chen winking at him, Xuan Su stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

“Why is the princess gone? I even cooked two extra dishes and stewed the soup.” Aunt He asked.

Xuan Su replied: "Then it will only be easier for us."

“Girl, you will be in good health if you drink it,” the He family’s nanny snorted, “Young man, if you drink it, it will be a waste.”

 Xuansu touched the tip of his nose.

 Can they still be considered young men?

 Besides, how can it be considered a waste if you drink it until it reaches your stomach?

Shen Chen thought for a while and came up with a compromise idea: "Dong Chen's family hasn't left yet? Let him bring it to the princess's house. He can heat it up on the stove and drink it at night."

After hearing this, Grandma He's family hurriedly told Xuan Su, "Let Dong Chen's family wait a little longer. The fire is still a breath away."

Xuan Su said: "Do you want to ask me?"

 Aunt He hesitated for a moment.

Shenchen looked along to Xu Jian's side.

 He is really confused.

He really couldn't understand what Jingdong's family meant because of his way of treating guests while he played chess.

Ke Ye had no intention of taking any precautions against the princess. Although there were some ordinary things in the study, Shen Chen was still very surprised when he left the princess to her own devices.

 When the old Mr. Guo was still alive, he often went in and out of his study. After the old man passed away, there was no other master in the house, and he and Shen Chen were the only ones who could go in and take care of things.

When Mr. Liu was injured and returned to Beijing, Mrs. Liu came back to visit him, but he blocked her from the study.

However, no matter what it means, I am not stingy about a bowl of soup, right?

 The mutterings in the corner could not be hidden from Xu Jian of course.

He fell one after another without raising his head, and just said lightly: "Can't I finish the drink?"

Uncle Chengyi has been staring at him for a long time about the sale of two boxes of gold bricks. If he adds a bowl of hot soup at night, he may not look at him well tomorrow.

 This is not necessary.

Hearing his tone, Grandma He shook her head and turned back to the kitchen.

She didn't dare to say anything unnecessary. She just muttered in her heart: How could a beautiful daughter-in-law fall from the sky without being diligent at all?

 In the other room, Lin Yunyan had just entered the elegant room and not long after sitting down, Zhu Xiang came.

After taking a sip of the drink, Zhu Xiang said: "It's rare for you to post a post, and you do so in such a hurry."

“We have such an urgent appointment, why don’t you come too?” Lin Yunyan said.

 The two looked at each other and smiled.

“Tell me,” Zhu Xiang asked directly, “What are you looking for me for?”

"At the flower party that day, fortunately you were able to tell the truth from the false and did not let Yunfang be wrongly accused by Zheng Liu and hold a banquet to thank her." When Lin Yunyan said this, she laughed first, "This is a scene, the truth is, I I suddenly want to go out for dinner, but neither the eldest nor the other three are interested. I am in need of company. After much thought, you are the only one who can make the urgent appointment. "

"There's no need to thank you. If the right and wrong are laid out, I won't open my eyes and tell lies." Zhu Xiang likes Lin Yunyan to tell the truth, "If you have nothing to do and want to find a partner, you can come to me anyway." I don’t like being at home either.”

Lin Yunyan smiled.

 Xu Jiangang's idea was not accurate. The reason why she and Zhu Xiang were so eager to make an appointment was not simply because they were familiar with each other, but because Zhu Xiang wanted to have a situation in his heart and be able to stay outside every day.

 In the past, her relationship with Zhu Xuan only lasted until the Hua Hui.

Lin Yunfang couldn't explain it clearly, so Zhu Xian naturally believed Zheng Liu's words. When she stated what she had seen, she became a witness to Lin Yunfang's misfortune.

Therefore, even if Zhu Xiang discussed the matter and did not influence Lin Yunyan with his impressions of Lin Yunfang, Lin Yunyan would not be able to continue to interact with Zhu Xiang.

 I missed the opportunity to clarify directly at the flower party. No matter what I say later, no one will be able to convince anyone.

 It’s better to just stay apart to avoid further disputes.

 Further on, Lin Yunyan only briefly learned about Zhu Xiang’s situation from other people’s mouths.

Zhu Xian and her father had a conflict in public.

Zhu Chan is probably crazy. I heard that he was dancing with scissors at home to stab people, which frightened the British government.

Zhu Xiang left the capital and went to Yuanfu Temple for meditation.

 …

 After that, there was no other news.

Looking at the girl with a cheerful smile in front of her, and then thinking about the rumored Zhu Xiang, Lin Yunyan pursed her lips.

Some people can't bear to fall into the abyss and go crazy overnight; some people can't bear the gloom in their hearts over time and they go crazy with a smile.

 Zhu Huan should be of the latter type.

"Your Majesty," Lin Yunyan said, vaguely feeling that this title was respectful enough, but lost some intimacy, so she changed it again, "How is your mother lately?"

 When she mentioned her mother, Zhu Xian's smile froze.

After a moment of silence, she said: "It's still the same. I haven't woken up for a moment. If I can live, it seems that I can continue to live..."

 If it was an ordinary concern, Lin Yunyan should stop there.

 But she came here for Zhu Xiang's father, and she couldn't bear the cheerful Zhu Xiang to end up going crazy.

Unexpectedly, before Lin Yunyan asked tentatively, Zhu Xiang spoke first: "Just be kind and listen to my complaints. If no one listens to me seriously, I will go crazy..."
