Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 478
Erhong went to Daci'en Temple on a business trip, but Li Lijun ushered in an unexpected guest here.

Lin Jiulang, who hadn't seen him for a long time, came once to attend a wedding banquet after his little aunt Lin Sanniang married into the Sui Palace, and he hasn't been there for quite some time.He came here suddenly today, and directly stated that he was going to visit Li Lijun's courtyard. Not only Li Lijun was surprised, but even his aunt Lin Sanniang was surprised.

She also explained to Li Lijun embarrassingly: "Don't blame Li Niang, he has such a weird temper. Although he has grown tall, he is still as rampant as he was when he was a child. He has long said that he will come to you, but before It’s not very convenient. Now that I heard that you are going out of Beijing again, I am afraid that if I miss the opportunity, I don’t know how long it will take to see you again, so I came here regardless.”

Although Li Lijun was surprised, he was not angry.In the past, Lin Jiulang was still her little friend, and she also fooled him into helping collect various meteorites.Although he went to Luoyang and Lingnan with his family later, she stayed in the other courtyard of Saga Mountain or Ziyun Mountain House, and seldom returned to Chang'an City. Filial piety avoids festive occasions, but still regards Lin Jiulang as a friend in his heart.She only regrets that she has never seen him again. How can she be unhappy because he took the initiative to come to the door?
She has been in a bad mood for the past few days. Today, because a friend came to the door, she showed a rare smile: "It's my honor that Jiulang is willing to come to my place as a guest. Third aunt, please don't lie to me. Jiulang saved me back then." life!"

Lin Sanniang sighed: "He just did what he should do at the right time, what kind of life-saving grace? Besides, you helped my family with a good idea, solved my father's predicament, and sent a cure for miasma. Fangzi, on the contrary, is a great favor to our Lin family, and Jiulang should have reciprocated."

If this debate continues, it will only go on and on.Li Lijun decisively changed the subject: "Did Jiulang go to Lingnan in the past two years? He must have encountered a lot of interesting things, right? I have never been out of Guanzhong, and he is far less knowledgeable than him."

Lin Sanniang smiled and said, "Then let him tell you what he has experienced all the way south. In fact, he doesn't understand anything, so he can only be mischievous."

Lin Sanniang first came to say hello to Li Lijun. Her nephew Lin Jiulang was actually still waiting in her yard. He didn't dare to come to the place where the little lady lived in the back house until the aunt sent someone to call him.When they met, he first showed a smile, and then worried that his aunt was still watching, so he awkwardly greeted Li Lijun according to the rules.

Li Lijun asked him to sit down, ordered the maid to serve tea, and said with a smile: "Jiulang doesn't have to be restrained with me. We are good friends and relatives, why care about those red tapes? Just come as you feel comfortable."

Lin Jiulang also had the same idea.When he went to see his friends in the Saga Mountain Beside Hospital, he didn't pay so much attention, how comfortable he was then!

But Lin Sanniang still had to worry about her own identity, thinking that since she was present as an elder, she couldn't ask outsiders to pick on the two children, otherwise the fourth lady, Li Lijun, would definitely suffer more grievances.So she said: "Li Niang said that, Jiu Lang is even more impolite. Although the two families are relatives, this is the back residence of the palace after all, and he can't let him mess around."

Lin Jiulang became frustrated by his aunt's words, and chatted with Li Lijun listlessly, asking her how she had been in the past two years, how she was in health, when she planned to leave the city, which famous temples she planned to visit to pray for blessings... and so on. Recently, other relatives and friends who came to visit Li Lijun asked similar questions, and they all followed similar routines.

Li Lijun answered a round of questions dryly, feeling bored. Seeing Lin Jiulang's expression of wanting to talk to him alone, he tentatively asked, "Has Jiulang collected new meteorites in the past two years? Lingnan is thousands of miles away from Guanzhong." , you walked all the way, must have seen a lot of new things, right?"

Lin Jiulang suddenly became interested: "Of course! I not only found a new meteorite, but also collected several kinds of strange stones! I asked my elders, and they said that some of them look like ores, but I don't know what kind of ores they are. , maybe it can also be used to build my gun!"

He described the shapes of the few pieces of ore he had collected, and Li Lijun guessed a bit. Although he felt that they were not considered rare, they were considered rare.She told Lin Jiulang the answer she guessed, and asked him to find someone to inquire on his own. He was quite happy: "I'll find someone tomorrow! Although it can't be used to make iron and guns, it is not a common ore. It’s also good to watch the excitement.”

Lin Sanniang looked at her nephew's happy appearance, and she couldn't see it: "You little man can be happy for a long time by playing with a stone. Why do you still talk about things with stones when you come to the little lady? ? Whose little lady likes to look at these dusty and dark things?"

Lin Jiulang said in his heart that the fourth lady likes these things. The two of them have known each other for several years, so how can he not know?It's just that my aunt can't understand this kind of thing, and it's meaningless to tell her, so she looked at Li Lijun and said with a smile: "Our children's family can have fun even with a stone. Aunt, don't you got it."

Li Lijun smiled, called Qiuxiang over, and asked her a few words in a low voice.Qiuxiang immediately retreated, and after a while, a small box came up and put it in front of Lin Jiulang.

"What is this?" Lin Jiulang looked at the box curiously.

Li Lijun signaled him to open it, and inside was a small piece of Starlight Rock.This is one of the spiritual materials that Grandpa Qiu San collected for Li Lijun's grocery store. This piece is too small and the star power is too weak, so it is actually useless, but it looks a little bit starry on the outside, and it looks quite beautiful in the dark , it is not harmful to the body of a mortal, and it can also increase the sense of direction of the people around.Li Lijun thought it was a relatively harmless spiritual material, so he just took it as a gift to Lin Jiulang, told him that he got it by accident, and gave it to him to relieve his boredom, and it was considered a return for the meteorite he gave him back then.

If Lin Jiulang could find a good craftsman, break the starlight rock a little bit, add the rock fragments into the wrought iron and hit it, it would also give his gun a faint starlight effect.But this kind of effect is purely good-looking, and it can't increase the attack power of the weapon, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't add it, just put it in the box and use it as an ornamental stone.

Lin Jiulang happily fiddled with the piece of starlight rock, feeling a little happier than finding a huge iron meteorite. He quickly thanked Li Lijun and turned the piece of starlight rock over and over for a closer look.

Lin Sanniang looked at her nephew's appearance, and couldn't help sighing again. She didn't understand why the child was arguing to see Fourth Lady.Is it just to say a few words and accept a small gift?
She had no choice but to remind: "It's getting late, and I'll be back to my place for dinner later. If there's anything Jiulang wants to say to Si Niangzi, just say it quickly."

"Oh, I almost forgot." Lin Jiulang put away the Xingguangyan, and sat upright again, seeing Lin Sanniang angry and funny: "What did you almost forget?!"

"I have something to ask Si Niangzi." Lin Jiulang took a deep breath and said solemnly, "A few days ago, Aniang asked me what I thought about my future marriage and what kind of wife I planned to marry. So you can take care of me. I thought about it and thought about it, and I felt that this matter should not be ignored, it must be a little lady who I get along with comfortably. Fourth Lady is most comfortable getting along with me. So I came here to ask Fourth Lady, what do you think about your future husband-in-law?"

Lin Sanniang was caught off guard and could only stare dumbfounded at her nephew hitting a straight ball.
