Thirty-nine, little goblin

After the night banquet of the Protectorate Mansion, Judge Fan sent Zhou Xuan and his family back to the house. Lin Hanyun wanted to follow him out, but was stopped by Lin Dai. Lin Hanyun said aggrievedly: "I was thinking about going home outside. It was so boring to get home. My sister went to Baiyun Temple again. Brother Zhou Xuan didn't come to sip tea and tell stories at night, and he was suffocated!"

In the past six months, Lin Hanyun followed Zhou Xuan to Cuju and aerobics, watch cockfighting, betting on Go, and traveling around the mountains and rivers. He was already playing wild, so he could not help but feel attentive. Now he only felt that the Protectorate's Mansion was like a cage, but his father ordered her not to leave the mansion, at least he would allow her to leave the mansion alone after Lin Duo's wedding. Lin Dai meant that the prince was coming when Lin Duo's wedding. At that time, who was the master of Lin Hanyun's reputation? Lin Dai really didn't expect that his young daughter, like a wild boy, would attract the favor of both the Marquis of Xinzhou and the Prince, making Fang Zhen's great hero Lin Dugu both both both worried and happy.

Seeing Lin Hanyun's little mouth pouting, Zhou Xuan couldn't help but think of the scene of secretly kissing her in the carriage. He felt a little swaying in his heart and said, "Sister Hanyun, please be anxious. I will accompany you to Baiyun to visit Sister Daoyun tomorrow. At least I will invite her back to the Protectorate Mansion. How about it?"

"Okay, okay." Lin Hanyun was happy: "Only Brother Zhou Xuan can have a way to ask my sister to come back."

Since Zhou Xuan spoke, Lin Dai refused to agree and nodded, "It's okay if Nephew Xuan went to visit Daoyun. I don't know if she was tired from the journey when she came back this time, and she was a little indifferent and unhappy."

Judge Fan sent Zhou Xuan back to Zhou Mansion, the bright moon rose, and slowly cooled down.

Judge Fan is very familiar with Zhou Xuan now. He knew that the Marquis Zhou, who had risen to the top, was not arrogant or impatient, and was a person who was easy to get along with. He immediately avoided Dr. Qin's family and said, "Marty, I have something to say."

Zhou Xuan vaguely guessed what Judge Fan was going to say, so he asked Qin Que, Renjian and the others to go back to the mansion first. He had something to talk to Lord Fan. After Dr. Qin and his side walked away, he said, "Mr. Fan, please speak."

The judge said bluntly: "When will the Marquis propose marriage to the Protector and make a marriage with the Second Miss?"

Zhou Xuan's face turned red, and hesitated that the ambiguous relationship with Lin Hanyun along the way was seen by this Lord Fan. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I do have this intention, I'm afraid Uncle Lin won't agree. After all, I already have two wives."

Judge Fan smiled and said, "Don't worry about this marquis. It's common for three wives and four concubines. The two wives in the house are also very virtuous. The Protector will not refuse, but-"

Speaking of this, Judge Fan paused and changed his tone to a solemn voice: "The lower-ranking officials respect the Marquis. There is something that I have to remind the Marquis that when the Eastern Palace was a talent show envoy in Jiangzhou, he mentioned marriage to the guru. On the second day of the Chinese New Year, the second lady went to Beijing to let the emperor and the queen see it, but the Queen has never expressed it. Perhaps the Queen thought that the second lady's temperament was not suitable for being the crown princess, but the Eastern Palace itself did not say it clearly. If the Eastern Palace insisted on marrying the Second Miss, I am afraid that the Empress would agree, so the Marquis must consider this."

Zhou Xuan thought to himself: "It's so annoying. If Hanyun hadn't met a brave man like me, then no one would dare to marry him. Maybe he would end up in the situation where there would be no one else to marry him. He wasted his youth and had to go to Baiyun Temple. What a pity. Brother Zhou Xuan must help her in this matter." He said: "Thank you, Lord Fan, I will handle this matter well. In a few days, the East Palace will come to Jiangzhou. I will have a good talk with him."

Judge Fan bowed and said, "Mr. Marquis is wise and will handle it properly. Now the officials ask for a glass of wedding wine."

Zhou Xuan laughed: "How can you miss Lord Fan?"

On the morning of May 19, Zhou Xuan took Sanchi and Lin Ning to the Protectorate Mansion to pick up Lin Hanyun. Lin Dai ordered Lao Dong to follow the second lady and five people rode out of the west gate of Jiangzhou to Baiyun Temple. Lin Hanyun was like a bird out of the cage, chirping all the way, and was very happy.

The summer solstice has passed, and the scorching sun is scorching the earth. There is a hot smell of water vapor evaporating in the air. Except for Lao Dong, the other four people are wearing hats to protect the sun. The wind blows when the horses run, which is quite cool.

Zhou Xuan shouted: "This is the happy wind!"

Four or five miles away, a shallow stream is blocking the road. There is an ancient wooden bridge on the stream. On the other side are thousands of white magnolias, and the white clouds are hidden among the flowers and trees.

Everyone urged the horse to cross the bridge and passed by the magnolia. The magnolia was in the flowering period between March and April. At this time, flowers fell everywhere, and fell into mud and crushed into soil. When the horse's hooves stepped on, there was still a fragrance.

The door of the Taoist temple was closed. After knocking for a long time, a girl with a hair on her back came to answer the door. She recognized Zhou Xuan and Lin Hanyun, so she opened the door and invited them in.

Sanqi, Lin Ning and Lao Dong were waiting in the mountain gate hall. Zhou Xuan and Lin Hanyun followed the female Taoist boy through the Lingguan Hall and the Sanqing Hall to the small courtyard where Fairy Jingyi was cleared. The gate was closed. Lin Hanyun knocked on the door and said, "Sister, it's me, Hanyun, Brother Zhou Xuan is here too."

The door opened quickly, and it was Mingfeng. Soon, Jianyue ran out in pieces. Fairy Jingyi went to Baiyunguan Qingxiu. These two personal maids naturally had to come with her to serve her, but they were both young girls and were still very depressed about the lonely life of Taoist temple. So when they saw the second lady and the Marquis Zhou coming, they were all happy.

Lin Hanyun asked: "Where is my sister?"

Ming Feng said: "Sitting quietly in the backyard pavilion."

Lin Hanyun took Zhou Xuan's hand and walked towards the backyard, saying, "Brother Zhou Xuan, this time I look at you, your three-inch tongue should show off your power."

When Zhou Xuan heard Lin Hanyun talk about his tongue, he stared at her little mouth and smiled meaningfully.

Lin Hanyun also knew that her face was blushing, and she wrinkled her nose at Zhou Xuan. She suddenly tiptoed and put her mouth on her face to Zhou Xuan's ear, and whispered: "Brother Zhou Xuan, can you persuade my sister to return home, I'll let you kiss you enough."

Wow, why do this sound so familiar? Which song was sung in?

Zhou Xuanmu looked at him without squintingly, "Are you wrong? I asked you to kiss me enough."

Lin Hanyun hung Zhou Xuan's arms and hung her whole body on Zhou Xuan, saying, "Hmph, Brother Zhou Xuan is so bad. I know you took advantage of me, and it was a big advantage. You really think I'm stupid. I don't even know this. I just think it's fun."

Zhou Xuan looked back and saw Mingfeng and Jianyue’s two maids deliberately landing several feet behind, and said, “So you were deliberately pretending to be stupid to seduce me, you are simply a little fairy.”

"Little Fairy?" Lin Hanyun laughed and said, "Not bad, I like this nickname. You just call me that when we are two of us."

Zhou Xuan felt tough-skinned, but he didn't expect Lin Hanyun to be inferior to her. He really couldn't do anything to her. He reached out and hit her little round buttocks, saying, "I want to use the golden cudgel to beat the little fairy." He recited it three times in his heart, "I'm very pure."

When Lin Hanyun heard the fresh word "Golden Cudgel", he knew that Zhou Xuan had another story, and forgot to be beaten with a pp, and asked, "Golden Cudgel, what is the allusion?"

Zhou Xuan said: "I will tell you a long story if I have time. Hanyun, let me ask you, do you want to marry me? You have taken advantage of me, and it seems unreasonable not to marry me."

Lin Hanyun said: "I have thought about it, but I still can't marry."

Zhou Xuan was speechless. It was so failed. How could he deal with Prince Li Jian? Even Lin Hanyun agreed to marry him!

Lin Hanyun said: "Brother Zhou Xuan, it's not that I don't like you. There is a reason why I don't marry you. After my second brother gets married, you will have to go back to Jinling, right? I'll still follow you-"

Zhou Xuan hummed: "Don't think about it!"

Lin Hanyun said, "Brother Zhou Xuan, don't be anxious. If I promise to marry you, I will have to be engaged or something. Then I will not be able to meet again until I get married. Just like my second brother and Danyuan's sister-in-law, I will not be able to meet for more than a year. Brother Zhou Xuan, you said that if I can't see you for more than a year, wouldn't I be suffocated to death? So it's better to be a brother and sister."

Zhou Xuan was both angry and funny, and was even more moved. It turned out that Miss Lin Er had this idea. She was so naive and cute. She was such a pure and seductive little fairy!

Zhou Xuan was about to show his tongue, but Lin Hanyun suddenly "shun" and pointed to the small garden in front. Zhou Xuan saw that the small garden was still planted with magnolias, which were not as tall as before. There was an exquisite octagonal pavilion between the flowers and trees, with long windows on all sides. The breeze was coming and the shadows of the trees were swaying, which was a good place to cool off in summer.

In the octagonal pavilion is a table with ebony tables, three dragon beard grass futons, a teapot and three tea cups on the table. Fairy Jingyi's Taoist bun is tied with a high bra and a bamboo hairpin is inserted obliquely. The spotless moon-white Taoist robe is softly ironed on her slender body. This beautiful woman is now holding her chin with one hand and holding her elbow. She is closing her eyes and sleeping. She is holding a roll of "Nanhua True Sutra" with a light yellow color on her hand. The pages of the book are circling with the wind.

"Sister Daoyun is asleep. Let's not disturb her, sit quietly before her."

Zhou Xuan told Ming Feng and Jian Yue and the others not to speak out. He pulled Lin Hanyun and tiptoed into the octagonal pavilion, sitting on the two dragon beard grass cushions in front of the ebony table, as if he was meditating and meditating.

In Taoist temple, Fairy Jingyi no longer wears a veil, her cheeks are white and red, her nose is straight like a jade carving, her eyebrows are neat and delicate, her lip line is bright, her lips are bright red, her eyes are closed and her eyes are fine and fine. What a beautiful summer sleeping picture.

Zhou Xuan had a strong creative impulse. He wanted to paint such a painting for Fairy Jingyi. He immediately stood up quietly and asked Mingfeng to quickly get paper, pen and paint.

The paper and ink paint was quickly taken. Lin Hanyun rushed to grind the ink, so he woke up Fairy Jingyi. Seeing that it was Zhou Xuan and Lin Hanyun, he quickly sat upright, blushed with a pretty face, and said in a slight hurriedly: "Brother Xuan and Hanyun, the female Taoist loves to be cool here. She recited the "South China Sutra" and fell asleep unknowingly."

Lin Hanyun said: "Sister, Brother Zhou Xuan wants to paint for you. If you hold your cheeks like that, close your eyes and let Brother Zhou Xuan paint."

Fairy Jingyi shook her head shyly: "Don't draw, what's the matter with you?"

Zhou Xuan said: "I came to visit Sister Daoyun, but I couldn't listen to my sister's tea ceremony and flute sounds, and I was melancholy every night."

Fairy Jingyi felt ache in her heart and almost burst into tears.

"I must draw Sister Daoyun!"

Zhou Xuan now had a rush of painting in his heart, so he spread a piece of Chengxintang paper on the ground and wrote a painting. He learned to paint for several months from Gu Hong Middle School. He had gradually got rid of the constraints of sketching and was very skilled in using brushes. Moreover, his knowledge was broader than Gu Hongzhong. He knew about large freehand paintings, small freehand paintings, and ink-splashing landscapes. He had seen the amazing and brilliant paintings of Mi Fu, Xu Wei, Bada Shanren and Zhang Daqian. He had a long-edged sheep hair in his hand, and he sprinkled and painted them. He looked up at Fairy Jingyi from time to time, and then lowered his head to paint.

Brother Xuan was so attentive that Fairy Jingyi had to sit still.

Lin Hanyun, Ming Feng and Jianyue stood behind Zhou Xuan and stretched their heads to look. They had seen Zhou Xuan paint before, but they were very different from today. They used to be one stroke after another, meticulous, but now they are like graffiti, one stroke at a time, one stroke at a time, one stroke at a time, one stroke at a time, and one stroke at a time. I wonder what they were painting?

Zhou Xuan changed a pen, dipped it in red, painted red lips in a ball of ink, and dyed his cheeks slightly, and then changed a small tube of sheep hair. With just a few strokes, he swept out a pair of closed eyes. His eyelashes seemed to be brushed casually, with different shapes but similar spirits. Then he outlined a slender white hand with a chin, and drew a strong black bun on his head and neck. A thin bamboo hairpin came out, and below his neck was a large ball of ink and white space.

This painting took only two quarters of an hour to complete.

Zhou Xuan put down his pen, stood up, watched it for a while, and praised himself: "This is the best painting I have ever drawn so far, three words, passionate!"

Lin Hanyun and the other two looked around, but they didn't dare to say something bad, and they couldn't see what was good, so they looked at each other.

Fairy Jingyi sorted out the Taoist robe and stood up to see that her brushwork was simple and unrestrained, with delicate details. Her slender fingers were like white orchids, with a little white red lips in the ink color, which showed a delicate look in elegance. Her brush and ink were vivid and her expression was quite good.

Lin Hanyun asked: "Sister, is Brother Zhou Xuan's painting good?"

Fairy Jingyi said: "Brother Xuan will become the leading painter in the Tang Dynasty."

Zhou Xuan sat on the cushion again and said, "Uncle Lin asked me to invite Sister Daoyun to return to his residence. Brother Lin Duo is about to get married, and there are still many things in the mansion that Sister Daoyun needs to work hard on."

Fairy Jingyi shook her head and said, "There are many managers in the mansion and the stepmother is in charge. Why do you need the female Taoist to intervene? Brother Xuan just needs to help the female Taoist take care of Hanyun."

Lin Hanyun complained: "If my sister is not in the mansion, Brother Zhou Xuan will not come to the 'Jiunan Mountain House'. I am so lonely alone, and my father will not let me leave the mansion."

Fairy Jingyi lowered her head, her long neck was like a swan, and sighed softly, "The female Taoist only went back on the day of Duo's wedding-" paused, looked up at Zhou Xuan, and asked, "Didn't Xuan propose to Hanyun yet?"

Zhou Xuan was embarrassed and looked at Lin Hanyun.

Lin Hanyun smiled and said, "Brother Zhou Xuan asked, but I didn't agree."

"Ah!" Fairy Jingyi opened her eyes wide: "Why is this? Don't you like to be with Zhou Xuan?"

Lin Hanyun said: "If you like it, you don't have to marry him. My sister doesn't like it too - uh, I won't say it anymore."

Fairy Jingyi's face was already flushed and said, "Okay, you guys go back. The female Taoist will return to the Protectorate's Mansion on the 28th."

Zhou Xuan said: "Okay, I come to the temple every night to ask my sister Daoyun for tea ceremony. My sister has not been taught to me the last time that the tea energy condenses into trees and mountains."

Fairy Jingyi bit her lip: "Don't come, brother Xuan, the door will not be opened at night."

Zhou Xuan said: "I have a way to come in."

Lin Hanyun said: "Brother Zhou Xuan can climb the wall, and the third brother will help him."

Fairy Jingyi was so amused and cried, and said angrily: "Did you definitely gather me to practice cultivation and force me to go back?"

Zhou Xuan smiled and said nothing.

Lin Hanyun was very straightforward, one word: "Yes!"

Fairy Jingyi gave Lin Hanyun a blank look. The white charm made Zhou Xuan on the side blurry.

Fairy Jingyi thought about it. Zhou Xuan was in Jiangzhou, and she really couldn't practice the cultivation. Brother Xuan has always been brave and dared to do nothing. He didn't dare to do it. He would move back first. Anyway, Brother Xuan will go to Jinling in a few days. I'm afraid there will be no more meeting in the future. Since he has made up his mind, he doesn't care about these days. He said lightly: "Okay, the female road will go back and stay for a few days first."

Lin Hanyun was overjoyed and secretly pointed Zhou Xuan's thumbs up. Zhou Xuan tapped his lips with his fingers, and Lin Hanyun's face turned slightly red.

There was not much to pack. There was a carriage in the view. Fairy Jingyi and two maids took the carriage and followed Zhou Xuan and the other two back to the city. When crossing the stream and climbing the wooden bridge, three people on the other side were going to cross the bridge. Seeing that the carriage had already driven on the wooden bridge, they retreated and stood at the bridge head by the stream and waited.

One of the three people was riding a snow-white horse with straight waists, two eyebrows were like two delicate little swords, noses were like gallbladders, and lips were like grease. Anyone who saw this would say this was a handsome man.

Sanchi whispered: "Master, Mr. Lian Chang is here."

Mr. Lianchang received a secret letter from Xiahou Liusu on the tenth day of the fifth month, and urgently discussed with Gan Simou. Gan Simou half-believed and half-doubted. It is hard to say whether the Tang Dynasty cut off the business exchanges between Qingyuan and Li Yu was very likely to do this. Moreover, Chen Kai, the Minister of War, and his nephew Chen Ji, were indeed training troops in Jianzhou. How could Mr. Lianchang not be anxious? On the one hand, let Gan Simou go back to Jinling first to find out the exact news and ask King Jing to find a way to save Li Yucheng's life. On the other hand, he sent someone to report to his brother-in-law, Chen Si'an, the governor of Qingyuan, and he himself was lightly cavalrying Jian to chase Zhou Xuan. When he chased Xinzhou, Zhou Xuan had already gone to Hongzhou and chased Hongzhou, and Zhou Xuan returned to Jiangzhou.
