"One year, I arrived at Plum City, and it happened to be the time when the plum blossoms were in full bloom. At that time, there was a lot of white snow, and the cold plum blossoms bloomed in the wind and snow, decorating Plum City into a city in the midst of plum trees."
"At this time every year, various poetry gatherings will be held in Meicheng, and many literati from all over the country will rush there just to see the grand event, or to become famous in the world with their talents."
"People say that half of the character of the Western Wei Dynasty is in the capital and half is in Meicheng. If there is a chance, I will definitely take Miss Six to see it."
Su Wan was fascinated by what Li Lin said. Her eyes were bright and the corners of her mouth were slightly curved: "Then I will wait for Mr. Li to take me there."
"must."
He reached out and took the roast chicken that was constantly turning in her hand: "Give it to me, don't let it burn."
"Oh." Su Wan decisively gave up struggling and sat aside to watch him roast, obediently waiting to be fed.
Li Lin turned over the roast and asked her, "What does Miss Six like to do in her daily life?"
"What do you like to do?!" Su Wan thought for a moment, "I prefer to plant flowers, make some food, or read story books. Let me tell you, I don't have any ability in embroidery, and I don't know how to do it. Can recite poems and compose poems."
Su Wan didn't care about exposing her shortcomings. In her opinion, the two of them were now on a blind date. Although they liked each other, some things were better explained simply and clearly. It was better to be prepared in advance. It’s good to be disappointed in the future.
Besides, it’s not like she couldn’t afford to hire an embroiderer, and she really didn’t like reciting poems and composing poems. As a modern person, after all, she graduated from college and could barely compose a sour poem, but she just felt very sour, so special. awkward.
Li Lin smiled, feeling that this girl was really honest and silly and a bit cute. He really wanted to reach out and touch her head, but now was not the time, so he held back.
"It doesn't matter. I can afford to support an embroiderer at home. Besides, I'm also a rough person and I don't like to write poetry."
Composing poems and the like was something that the literati of the Western Wei Dynasty loved to do. He was really a rough man. Although he was knowledgeable and could do anything he wanted, he was not someone who showed off all the time.
Su Wan's smile became more sincere, feeling that Li Lin was really a good-tempered person.
Li Lin roasted it for a while until the chicken was cooked, then used a dagger to slice off the meat piece by piece and put it on a white porcelain plate with a pattern of clouds and wild geese, and asked Su Wan to dip his chopsticks into a piece of jam and eat it. .
The jam was sweet and sour, and when paired with the grilled chicken that was properly roasted and crispy, it was fragrant and crispy when biting into the mouth. The sweet and sour jam offset the greasy taste, and Su Wan couldn't stop eating it. Come down.
It's great. Mr. Li is also a good barbecuer, and he will have a plan for picnics in the future.
Li Lin sliced half of the roasted chicken for her, then stopped eating it for her and kept the rest for himself. Then he replaced her with grilled fish and rabbit meat. The two of them sat beside the big stone. On the small stone bench, I watched the dragon boat race in the lake and ate barbecue.
Li Lin was afraid that she wouldn't be able to eat it, so he used chopsticks to cut the fish meat apart, and then used a dagger to cut the rabbit meat into pieces that she could eat with chopsticks.
Xiao Sang and Xiao Pei were sitting on a big rock at the entrance of the cave, one of them was chewing a chicken wing, and the other was chewing a chicken leg.
It smells so good and delicious!
Following Mr. Li out felt much more fun than attending that banquet or this banquet.
To be honest, when they go to the banquet, they must be very energetic and clever to avoid making any mistakes to their girls. But here, Mr. Li can take care of their girls alone, without them at all. Get started.
Mr. Li is very good. He is knowledgeable, good-looking, and knows etiquette. He treats the girl personally, so the girl's marriage is considered to be the right one.
After eating barbecue, today's lunch was settled in this way. At the end, we made another pot of chrysanthemum tea and continued to watch the dragon boat race. At the end of the day and the beginning of the morning, the two of them were ready to leave. They walked out of the cave and arrived at the carriage park. place, then got on the carriage and returned to the city.
The carriage returned all the way to the Jinning Marquis Mansion, and the two of them said goodbye reluctantly at the exit.
Su Wan asked Xiao Pei to take out the things in the box and handed them to Li Lin: "This is the hook I promised to Mr. Li before. I just finished it yesterday. I forgot to take it out just now. Mr. Li, let's take a look. If not, If you are satisfied, I will make another pair."
As she spoke, she opened the small wooden box and handed it to Li Lin. Lying inside was a pair of ribbons made of colorful silk threads. The threads were neat and very beautiful.
Su Wan said: "I have been thinking about what color to match with the jade pendant to make it look good. As the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, I saw many people using Baisuo rope to weave various kinds of bracelets. After thinking about it carefully, Baisuo rope is more suitable. .”
Li Lin's hand moved across the strip and nodded slightly: "Sixth Miss is right, this is the best. I will leave the Imperial City in two days, and I will order someone to send him to the Jing family's house later. Come on, let Madam Jing pick a day, put it on a jade pendant, and send it to Qingyuan Temple for worship."
Su Wan twisted the handkerchief: "You have returned to your hometown, when will you come to the Imperial City again?!"
"I will come back after the house is built. The flowers in Qingfeng Courtyard will also bloom by then. I will come back to accompany Miss Six to enjoy the flowers. It won't be long."
Su Wan calculated the time and found that it was indeed not very far away. However, even if he was in the Imperial City, there were not many opportunities for them to meet. He suddenly felt a little unhappy, as if she had just started falling in love and was about to start dating before it was warm. Living in two places.
Her brows wrinkled slightly.
Li Lin smiled: "Sixth Miss, just wait and see with peace of mind. If Miss Sixth wants to go anywhere in the future, I will accompany you."
"Miss Six is beautiful today."
Su Wan was so coaxed by him that he felt dizzy. After saying goodbye to him and entering the gate of Jinning Marquis Mansion, his brisk steps slowed down and he suddenly felt reluctant to leave.
Xiao Sang and Xiao Pei followed her. When she saw her slowing down, she hurriedly followed her.
Xiao Sang asked: "Girl, what's wrong?! Did you forget something?!"
Su Wan shook his head: "No, let's go to Fupingyuan first. Grandma should be waiting impatiently."
Li Lin here saw Su Wan entering the gate of Jinning Marquis Mansion, but did not go in again. He just ordered someone to give Su Xun a gift, saying that he was in an emergency, so he left for now and would come to visit another day.
As soon as Su Wan's figure disappeared, someone came from the alley and hurriedly reported: "Master, Dongjun wants to see you."
Li Lin asked: "What happened today?!"
The visitor's face slightly condensed: "Sir, Prince Zhao found Li Cheng's peach wood sign on the assassin's body."
Li Lin was slightly startled: "Peach wood sign?!"
The mahogany tablet belongs to the Li family's personal guard. How could it appear here? !
It is even less likely that those people would come to assassinate the emperor of Dong Zhao.
In this case, I'm afraid someone did it deliberately.
"Where did Dongjun have an appointment?!"
"In Prince Zhao's Mansion."
