Ah Shu and Qiu Ling glanced at each other, and they couldn't see what the relationship between Lin Wan and Ximen Yuqing was for a while. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info saw the two pretending, and I don't know if Lin Wan really didn't want to show Ximen Yuqing, or was it a little love between little lovers?

Qiu Ling whispered in Ah Shu's ear, Ah Shu nodded slightly, and then hugged his fists to Lin Wan and Ximen Yuqing: "Ximen Gongzi, Miss Amu, I have something to talk about with my sister, so I will be with you first." ”

Ximen Yuqing smiled and nodded, and said, "Master Xiaotie, please take care of yourself." ”

Lin Wan knew in his heart that the two of them were going to discuss something, so he nodded again and again: "Brother Ah Shu doesn't have to be polite, you don't have to greet us, and we don't treat ourselves as outsiders." ”

Ah Shu nodded slightly, stood up, and walked towards the main house with Qiu Ling.

Lin Wan was bored, leaned forward, propped one elbow on the table, supported his chin, and looked at a golden leaf picked up in the other hand.

It was almost dusk, the sun was slanting to the west, and the shadowy sunlight under the big trees made people a little lazy and sentimental.

Lin Wan couldn't help but think of the soldiers who might be fighting bloodily at the moment, Zhou Tianqi who couldn't rest day and night and didn't dare to be negligent, Zhao family and Aunt Yu who were far away in the capital and worried all day long, and Zhao Liniang, I don't know if I had already arrived in that valley?

Thinking about it, Lin Wan's brows were already wrinkled unconsciously, and she sighed softly, worry and sorrow were already written on her face.

"Wan'er, what's wrong with you?" Ximen Yuqing's low voice sounded in his ears.

Lin Wan didn't turn his head to look at him, took a deep breath, and muttered: "If there is no war in this world, no deceit, no life and death, how good would it be......

Ximen Yuqing laughed self-deprecatingly, and after a long time, he whispered: "If there is no power and desire, there will be no war and strife." However, that day will never come. ”

Lin Wan turned his head and frowned, "What if you are strong enough that no one dares to bully you, and you don't have any ambitions, and you don't want to grab something that doesn't belong to you?"

Ximen Yuqing was stunned, thought for a moment, and replied: "If I don't have ambition, how can I be strong? If I'm strong enough, how can I not want to get more?"

Lin Wan twisted her eyebrows, she had to admit that Ximen Yuqing was right, this is human nature, this is life.

Even after another thousand years, wars still exist, the struggle for fame and fortune, intrigue still exists, and life and death still exist......

Looking at Lin Wan's depressed little face, Ximen Yu smiled lightly and said softly: "Wan'er, if you are willing to let go of all this and stay away from all these disputes, you can also have a simple and happy life, as long as you are willing." ”

Lin Wan didn't have words, of course she knew what she could do, but she couldn't. Because she knows more about what she can't do, she knows she can't let go.

After a long time, Ximen Yuqing slowly spoke again and said in a low voice: "I know, you won't agree, but I still want to say it." He paused, his voice gentle and continued, "If you are willing to leave here with me, you can live the life you want. ”

Lin Wan propped up his head, shook his head slightly, and closed his eyes. silently refused, without giving Ximen Yuqing a chance to continue fighting.

Ximen Yuqing didn't say anything more, although he had already known the answer, he was still disappointed.

The small courtyard was quiet, and the sound of Lin Wan's shallow breathing and Ximen Yuqing's gently shaking the folding fan could be heard.

Lin Wan slowly drove away his worries, closed his eyes, lay on the table, and fell asleep unconsciously.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lin Wan slowly opened his eyes, only to see that he was covered with a thin blanket. Ximen Yuqing was sitting beside him, Qiu Ling and Ah Shu were busy in the kitchen, the door was pushed open, and Ah Jin was walking in from outside the door with three craftsmen.

There were more than a dozen sacks on the ox cart outside the door, and several strong men were moving those sacks into the yard, the sacks were very heavy, and the four strong men grabbed the four corners of the sacks, and struggled to lift the sacks, and walked towards the yard with difficulty.

Under Ah Jin's command, they placed the sacks under the tarpaulin shed under the big tree, right next to the iron-making furnace.

Ah Shu and Qiu Ling had already walked out of the kitchen and greeted the craftsmen, everyone knew each other. Qiu Ling greeted everyone and said that the meal would be ready soon, please eat together.

A young craftsman waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile: "Iron Lady is welcome, a few of us came to Fengxiang Inn just now, and we have already eaten at Ah Jin's place." ”

Qiu Ling was no longer reluctant, nodded with a smile, and asked Xiao Jie to hurry up and serve tea.

Ximen Yuqing stood up, helped Lin Wan take off the thin blanket on his body, and hung it on his arm. Lin Wan also stood up and said with a smile: "All the folks have worked hard, please come and sit." ”

The three craftsmen politely shirked it, but at Qiu Ling's insistence, they walked to the table and sat down, Xiao Jie had already brought out the tea tray and served tea to everyone.

Four strong men finished carrying the sacks on the ox cart and walked in as well. Qiu Ling hurriedly sent cloth towels to wipe their sweat, and Xiao Jie brought a wooden stool and tea.

Lin Wan and Ximen Yuqing looked at the courtyard that suddenly became lively, and they didn't know what to do for a while, standing quietly under the big tree, looking at the busyness and noise in front of them.

The three craftsmen were all well-known blacksmiths in the city, and they had not very good ears for striking iron, and they spoke very loudly. The three of them discussed that the stove and bellows would be put up today, and work could start tomorrow morning. If it weren't for the fact that it was too late today and they were afraid of arguing with their neighbors, they would have wanted to do it today.

While a few people were talking, a middle-aged woman walked in from outside the courtyard.

Lin Wan raised her eyes and saw that it was the aunt of the Qiao family who lived next door. I only listened to her as she walked, and said with a smile: "Iron Lady, our street is lively now, you have to be busy these days." However, don't worry, with us to help you, you won't be too busy. I've already told a few of my neighbors to come to my place to cook, and when it's ready, I'll send it to you, and you'll do the right thing, and we'll take care of the rest. ”

Qiu Ling smiled and said gratefully: "Aunt Qiao, you have helped me a lot, not to mention that my cooking skills are not good, cooking for so many people really stumps me, I am afraid that when it comes to the meal, I can't make it, if everyone is hungry, it will be too sorry for everyone." ”

Aunt Qiao took Qiu Ling's hand, laughed, and said, "The Iron Lady is too modest, who doesn't know that the Iron Lady is good at cooking?" It's just that cooking for so many people is really not something that one or two people can do." However, I have agreed with your aunts and sisters-in-law that they will take turns to help, and they will definitely not miss everyone's meal. (To be continued.) )
