Linglong

Chapter 13

Outside, Uncle Yu was chatting with a boy. Linglong saw her father's gentle back, and even more so, the boy with a metallic voice.

He was fourteen or fifteen years old, with a creamy face and a handsome appearance. He was wearing a sky-blue brocade round-neck gown. The color of the gown was as blue as a pool of water, like a river, like a lake, and the ocean was unrestrained; With a jade-inlaid plain belt, the figure is as tall and straight as a pine, with a majestic bearing, and an indescribable grace in the coldness, as calm as a mountain.

On the opposite wall hangs a picture of "A Picture of Rivers and Mountains", which is the proud work of Mr. Zhangqin, a famous artist in the world. Generous, unique artistic conception, full of momentum.Standing in front of such a picture, the young man in blue is dignified and calm, and the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers described by Mr. Zhangqin are overshadowed by him.

"Who is this person?" Linglong looked at such a young man with curiosity.

Men from the Yu family don't become officials, and they don't associate with people in the officialdom unless they have to.Who is this boy who calls himself "Wang Sanlang"?He must not be an ordinary person, nor a child of an ordinary family. Looking at his temperament and aura, he should be either rich or expensive.But even a wealthy family can't easily raise such a child, right?

"I think he must be able to command at least 100 people, no, 1 million people, to have such a grandeur!" Linglong secretly estimated the boy's worth in her heart.

"He should be someone with background, why did he come to look for my father?" Linglong was even more curious about his reason for coming.

In the Yu family, although Mrs. Yu would be dissatisfied with Qiao's pampering of Linglong, Guan's, Jingjia, and Jingxi would compare with Linglong's mother and daughter intentionally or unintentionally. After all, those are small things, the Yu family is still very peaceful, the father is kind and the son is filial, and the brothers and friends are respectful.Such a family should not have any disturbances.

It's not that Linglong doesn't have a good impression of this young man, but she just vaguely feels that he belongs to the type of person who doesn't go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing, and since he's here, there must be something wrong.

After the young man exchanged greetings with Uncle Yu, the host and guest took their seats.After they were seated, they were a little far away from Linglong, so they couldn't see clearly, but there was a thick carpet between the bookshelves, and Linglong walked very softly, so she slowly moved over.

Linglong saw her father let the boy drink tea, the boy raised the cup to his lips, but put it down without touching the cup.

"Hmph, my tea is not good, or is my tea poisonous?" Linglong rolled her eyes at him.

The reason why he doesn't drink tea is nothing more than two reasons: first, he is too particular and he doesn't want to touch other people's teacups;After Linglong's analysis, she felt resentful.It was you who posted the post to Yu's house, okay, come here and pretend to be garlic!

The young man spoke again, and his voice was still as clear and clean as usual, "Mr. Yu, to tell you the truth, the servant came to the door this time because of a request."

Uncle Yu put down the teacup and said politely: "In the four seas, we are all brothers, please tell me, Third Young Master."

Linglong hid in the dark and couldn't help grinning.For some reason, she thought of the bandit eating Western food that Uncle Yu Erye said, "In the four seas, all brothers are brothers." This sentence comes from "The Analects of Confucius".Bandits and robbers in TV dramas and people from the rivers and lakes often love to say this sentence.

The young man pondered: "The Wang family has a batch of important goods to be transported to Shuntian Mansion, and they have to pass Baiwang Mountain on the way. Baiwang Mountain has been haunted by powerful people in recent years, and Mr. Yu must have known about it. This batch of goods is really important and cannot be lost. This servant came here this time because he wanted to ask Mr. a surefire way to cross Baiwang Mountain."

The bandits in Baiwang Mountain have been wiped out by the government several times, but "the wild fire can't be burned out, and the spring breeze can't give birth".If you want to cross Baiwang Mountain and the goods are expensive, it will be a bit of a headache.

Uncle Yu smiled slightly, "Third Young Master heard rumors that my second brother was once trapped in the hands of strong men in Baiwang Mountain, but he came back unscathed, right?"

The boy said: "Ashamed, that's the reason."

Uncle Yu said gently: "The Wang family in Taiyuan has an outstanding reputation, and its stores have opened in [-] provinces across the country. Its strength should not be underestimated. The wife's dowry shop has dealt with the Wang family, fair transactions, and mutual satisfaction. The third young master is the young master of the Wang family. When Yu Mou opened his mouth, Yu Mou must know everything and talk endlessly. On the day my second brother was arrested by strong men, someone first discussed poetry with him and commented on articles, and then Yu Mou brought famous jewels and treasures to the mountains to redeem People, strong people are moved by the money, and sighed: "Thieves have their own way, I don't want to take these treasures, I can't bear it; if I take these treasures, I have to let them go." After hesitating for a long time, I still accept the money and let my two brothers go down the mountain .Third Young Master, this is the credit of gold, silver, jade and silk."

Uncle Yu said that this is the credit of gold, silver, jade and silk, which is to tell Wang Sanlang euphemistically: I have no friendship with the bandits of Baiwang Mountain, and it is futile to ask me for advice on the perfect strategy of Baiwang Mountain.

The young man probably expected that Uncle Ding Yu would say this, without any strange expression, he took out something from his sleeve, and asked Uncle Yu to look at it, "Mr. Yu, please look at this waist card made of black iron, have you seen it elsewhere?" ?”

What kind of waist card made of black iron?Linglong was very curious.

She craned her neck to look out from behind the bookshelf, but she couldn't see it; she stood up and looked down from a high position, but she still couldn't see clearly.At this time, she had moved to the far side, and the farthest bookshelf was a single one, and there were not many books on the bookshelf, and the books were sparse. As soon as she exerted force, the bookshelf slowly fell outwards.

"Ah?" Linglong exclaimed.

Don't hit people!It's not good if there is a casualty accident!

Fortunately, the bookshelf wasn't high enough. After falling to the ground, it didn't hit Uncle Yu and the boy surnamed Wang who were sitting in front of the table.

The two people in front of the desk turned their heads together, only to see the bookshelf fell to the ground, and a little girl with fair skin and picturesque features stood behind blankly, at a loss.

Uncle Yu stood up slowly, "It's not worth anything." He just frightened his precious daughter who had just fallen ill.

The young man glanced at the exquisite, clean and moist face, and the simple clothes, without saying a word.

Linglong smiled at Uncle Yu embarrassedly, and lowered her head in shame.It was a good idea not to make a sound, not only to make a sound, but also to make such a loud noise!Oh, what a shame.

Linglong looked down and saw her half-worn apricot-yellow padded jacket and cyan padded skirt, and she had an idea.

Old Madam Yu didn't like luxury and was always plain. Linglong was going to accompany Old Madam Yu at noon today, so she dressed very discreetly. "I'll pretend to be a little girl." Linglong quickly made a decision.

If it was a girl from the Yu family who knocked down the bookshelf, it would be a bit embarrassing.If it was the little girl who missed it, it would be another matter.

It's a big deal for a girl to be ashamed, and if the little girl loses someone, no one will pay attention to her.

Linglong was very lucky, there was an old square handkerchief in the empty space under the bookshelf next to her.She bent down to pick up the old handkerchief, bent her knees to Uncle Yu, and smiled, "Master, I'm the little bell girl on the sweeper, and I was just cleaning the bookshelf. I didn't know that Uncle Yu came, so I didn't have time to hide Get out, I... I'm too stupid, so I'll go to the nurse in charge for punishment..."

"Long'er, what are you messing around with?" Uncle Yu was amused when he saw that she insisted on pretending to be a little girl.

But without poking her, he smiled and said, "You made an unintentional mistake, so don't worry about it."

Linglong just did something reckless, she simply pretended to be a naive little girl, smirked a couple of times, "Yes, sir." She knelt down and wiped the bookshelf conscientiously.

Uncle Yu turned around and apologized to Wang Sanlang, "Did you surprise San Shao? I'm so sorry." The young man stood up, "Where, although I can't be said to be motionless before the collapse of Mount Tai, it's not enough for such a trivial matter. startled."

It seemed that no one saw the fallen bookshelf, the two still sat down and looked at the waist plate made of black iron.

"I lost such a big person and received such a big shock, didn't I just want to see what it looks like?" Linglong felt itchy in her heart, and slowly touched the back of the table, and peeked over.

Uncle Yu is a literati, he has never practiced kung fu, his hearing is only average, but the young man is a martial artist, how can he not notice that there is someone behind him?Knowing that Linglong was peeking behind her, she frowned slightly.

The Yu family, who called herself Little Bell, didn't know what she wanted.

The young man glanced over, Linglong couldn't help shivering.

What kind of family is this Wang family, how did they raise such a child?It was still a foot away from him, and he was shivering from the cold!If this kind of person appears in summer, they will be very pleasing, and there is no need for ice, it will be naturally cool.

Uncle Yu held the waist card in his hand and looked at it. He seemed to think that the light was not enough, so he deliberately raised his arm and put it in the palm of his hand for a closer look.

In this way, Linglong could see clearly.

Linglong glanced at the waist badge and couldn't help being very disappointed.What's the matter? It's a swarthy piece with a pattern printed on it, but the pattern is hideous and half ugly.

"It's not pretty." Linglong scolded.

The young man saw it, and thought a lot in his heart.Although this little girl claims to be the little bell on the mop, but her face is white and tender, and her hands are white and smooth, how can they be the hands of a little girl?Just now Yu Tai looked at her with gentle, loving eyes and worried eyes, not like a patriarch looking at a little girl, but like a father looking at his daughter.By doing this now, it is clear that he intentionally wants her to peek at this waist badge, and treats her even less like a little girl.

Hiding in his father's study to make trouble, after knocking down the bookshelf, he still doesn't reflect on himself, and then sneaks over to look at his badge... Yu Tai, a celebrity and hermit, what kind of child is he raising?
