Childhood Sweethearts of a Family: The Delicate Girl

Chapter 45

This is a piece of white jade in the shape of a plum blossom with double petals. It is shiny and translucent, very smooth and delicate to the touch.Lin Yuan stared at it for a while, then raised her head and said to Qi Haoran, "Thank you brother Qi, it's very beautiful!"

When Qi Haoran heard Lin Yuan say it looks good, he knew that she really liked it.It's just that Qi Haoran didn't have the nerve to say that this jade pendant was made by a skilled craftsman according to the shape of the plum blossom with green calyx she gave him when he was in the hot spring villa.

"Shall I help you put it on?" Qi Haoran asked softly with a blushing face.

Lin Yuan blinked and nodded with a big smile, "Okay." She agreed.

Qi Haoran took the jade pendant from Lin Yuan's hand, fiddled with it twice, and untied the knot.Then he turned his body slightly to facilitate the movement behind him.

Lin Yuan also turned to face Qi Haoran, holding onto the edge of the wall with both hands to prevent herself from falling.She looked at Qi Haoran without blinking, the orange afterglow hit his already beautiful side face, adding a dazzling illusion.

Qi Haoran carefully put the jade on Lin Yuan's neck, dragged the two ends of the red rope around Lin Yuan's neck with both hands, and tied a knot even more carefully.

Such cautiousness, or piety would be more appropriate to describe it.

Lin Yuan was wearing a blue lotus half-sleeved double-breasted skirt today, her fair skin at the collarbone was exposed, and the white jade pendant fell below the beautiful collarbone, making people ignore the jade pendant and pay more attention to the delicate, fat-like skin. skin.

"Okay." Qi Haoran stretched out his hand, took a good look at Lin Yuan, only felt that this jade pendant really matched her, and then said, "I'm going back, little Ayuan."

Lin Yuan didn't hold back, but just nodded with a smile.Qi Haoran jumped off the wall first, and then Lin Yuan also came down below, and then climbed up the wall again.

He was sitting on the top of the wall the same way he was at the beginning, with one foot already on the other side. He lowered his head and looked at Lin Yuan who was standing below looking at him with her small face upturned. He smiled at her and said, "Xiao A Yuan, I'm leaving."

Against the light, Lin Yuan couldn't see the expression on Qi Haoran's face clearly, but felt that he was prettier than ever.She waved her hand and said goodbye to him with a smile, "Bye brother Qi!"

Qi Haoran nodded slightly, then jumped off the wall and completely disappeared from Lin Yuan's sight.

Lin Yuan stood there for a while, then left the back garden and went to Anhua Courtyard to find her mother.

Qi Haoran returned to Fenyonghou's mansion, Zhu Bicong saw him coming back and asked him with a smile, "Cross the wall? Have the things been sent out? Are you happy? Are you satisfied?"

Qi Haoran, whose blush had disappeared, showed no expression at all. He glanced at his mother and said, "How could I do such an unruly thing as climbing over a wall?"

After Zhu Bicong looked him up and down, he chuckled, "How could there be so much mud on this clothes without climbing over the wall?"

Qi Haoran was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't fall into Zhu Bicong's trap and looked down at the clothes, he just smiled and said, "Walking outside, getting some dust is inevitable, my son will change into a clean suit now." clothes."

He left very calmly.

The next day, the sky was overcast and the weather was not very good, but it was in line with everyone's mood.The expeditionary army set off from the capital, and because they were family members, Lin Yuan followed her mother to see them off at the city gate.

There is wind high above, and the sound of hunting wind blows past my ears.Lin Yuan was not tall enough, so she could only be hugged by her second brother, she pursed her lips and stared at the bottom of the city wall.

The army soon appeared in the sight of everyone on the city wall. Everyone was wearing armor, with a solemn expression on their faces, sitting upright and meticulously on horseback.

Everyone watched the familiar figures fade away one after another, until they could no longer see them and were reluctant to leave.

Qi Yingyu and Qi Haoran both left, and Lin Yuan mostly played with Xu Yueqiu in Nanxi Academy.They became acquainted because Xu Yueshan married into the Lin family, and their relationship became better and better. Now that Qi Yingyu is gone, they are separated from their friends, and the relationship between the two is even closer.

The lotus in the lotus pond from blooming to withering, summer has come to an end quietly.Lin Yuan insisted on practicing martial arts every day, and did not relax because of Qi Haoran and Qi Yingyu's departure.

Two months have passed, and Lin Yuan still hasn't received a letter from Qi Yingyu or Qi Haoran at the border.

She asked her mother, and Mrs. Lin said that the army had just arrived at the border at this time and hadn't settled down yet, so there was no letter. Lin Yuan continued to wait as she heard it made sense.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, Xu Yueshan activated it. In the evening, she successfully gave birth to a young master, and the mother and child were safe.

Lin Yuan said with a smile, "My little nephew can't wait to be reunited with us!" One sentence made the already joyful atmosphere even more intense.

Xu Yueshan successfully gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Lin family's big family. Lin Hai was also happy, and personally named the little grandson, "Xi".Xi Ye, morning light also, means new life, means hope.

When Lin Yuan saw Brother Xi who had just been born, she was very surprised, even a little shocked.

The child was very petite and immature, lying in swaddling clothes with his eyes closed.The skin is wrinkled and purple in color, the black hair sticks to the scalp, the hands are small, and the feet are small.

Lin Yuan stretched out her hand and gently touched his delicate palm, but the little nephew who was awake gently held it back.

The soft touch from her fingertips made Lin Yuan's heart melt into a puddle of water. She turned to look at her mother and said proudly, "Mother, my little nephew likes me very much!"

The arrival of her little nephew enriched Lin Yuan's life.After returning home every day, she first went to greet her mother and then went to the sister-in-law's room to see her little nephew.

In this way, she waited until September, when Lin Yuan finally received a letter from the border.On this day, she had just returned to Lin Mansion from Nanxi Academy to greet her mother, Madam Lin smiled and told her that she had a letter from her.

There are two letters in total, one is written to her by Qi Yingyu, and the other is written to her by Qi Haoran.In addition to the letterhead, there are also some new things that came back from the border.

Qi Yingyu wrote eight pages in her letter, telling Lin Yuan what she had seen and heard on the road and at the border.

Looking at Qi Yingyu's letter, Lin Yuan felt that she saw that little friend who loved to chat with her again.Lin Yuan read Qi Yingyu's letter carefully before writing to her.

In the letter, Lin Yuan also talked about her own affairs in the capital, saying that she cared more about Qi Yingyu for her cute little nephew, and it just filled three pages.

After finishing writing, she checked it two or three times by herself before putting it in an envelope, sealing it, and putting it aside.

She finished writing the reply letter to Qi Yingyu before opening Qi Haoran's letter.Compared to Qi Yingyu's full eight pages, Qi Haoran's letter to Lin Yuan didn't even have enough pages.

Qi Haoran's handwriting is elegant and has a little edge, which is different from Qi Yingyu's soft handwriting.He only wrote three sentences in the letter——

My sister and I both went to the border.

The border is very different from the capital.

The scenery here is beautiful, and Xiao Ayuan will also come to see it if I have the opportunity.

Lin Yuan couldn't believe the three simple sentences.She even checked the envelope several times to see if there was anything missing, only to find that there was really only such a single piece of letter paper and only these three sentences.

This is much more difficult than replying to Qi Haoran's letter, Lin Yuan thought silently, and then thought about it seriously before writing a reply to Qi Haoran.

She filled a page of letter paper and said some unnutritious words.After finishing writing, I checked it several times as before, put it in an envelope and sealed it, and put it together with the letter just now, waiting to be sent to the border.

It takes a long time to get a reply when the letter is sent out.But it seemed that in a blink of an eye, the sky turned cold.

October is the season when chrysanthemums and crabs are fertile, and the Weiyuan Hou Mansion has recently been rewarded with some rare varieties of chrysanthemums.

It was a tense time at the border, because His Majesty the Emperor had spoken, the Marquis of Weiyuan had no choice but to dare to invite relatives and friends to the mansion to enjoy the flowers, drink, eat crabs and have fun.

Mrs. Lin is the elder sister of the second wife of the Fu family, and everyone in the Lin family was naturally invited.

Xu Yueshan had just given birth not long ago, it was not suitable for Brother Xi to be brought out in less than two months, and she was worried that she would leave it to the nanny to take care of her completely, so Xu Yueshan did not go with her.

Lin Yuan followed her mother to the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion in a carriage, and before entering the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, she could see that the road was blocked by various carriages one after another.

Fortunately, the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion entertained them thoughtfully, and there were servants to welcome them at the street corner.The front was blocked, and under the service of the servants of the Marquis of Weiyuan, Lin Yuan followed her mother into a sedan chair, and took the sedan chair directly to the outside of the Chuihua Gate.

Inside the hall, the three ladies, Mrs. Fu, Mrs. Fu, and Mrs. Fu, were all welcoming the guests.

Lin Yuan walked up with her mother, smiled and greeted everyone.

After Mrs. Fu spoke a few words to Mrs. Lin affectionately, she then praised Lin Yuan a few more words.The servant girl brought up a pair of red gold bracelets inlaid with rubies on a white porcelain plate. Mrs. Fu said, "It's not a rare thing, just take it and play with it."

Lin Yuan thanked Mrs. Fu politely before accepting the things.Mrs. Fu smiled and praised Lin Yuan for being polite and polite, so she let Mrs. Fu, Lin Yuan's aunt, greet them by herself.

Should it be a coincidence or not?

Mrs. Wei Guogong also arrived at this time. Behind her, there were two young women dressed as women, who must be her daughter-in-law.Mrs. Wei Guogong still brought her two daughters, Du Ruojin, who was a prostitute, and Du Ruomei, who was a concubine.

When Du Ruojin saw Lin Yuan, as usual, her expression was not very good-looking.Du Ruomei was pretty much the same as in the past, with a slightly cowering, terrified expression on her face, not quite at ease.

Xiao Wang had heard her second sister talk about Lin Yuan and the lady of the Duke of Wei's mansion earlier, so she looked at Du Ruojin calmly, feeling extremely contemptuous.

She didn't want to show any displeasure in front of the guests, she just smiled back to Mrs. Fu, and then took Mrs. Lin and Lin Yuan to the Dahua Hall.
