Chapter 222 First Release "Okay."...
The room was filled with the scent of agarwood and the sound of the wind.
When their eyes met, Wen Yu could only hear her fluctuating heartbeat.
Song Linsheng's eyes were as clear as the moon and as bright as the stars, and he was looking at her with expectation.
For some reason, Wen Yu suddenly couldn't say no.
“Yes, yes…”
She seemed to have no reason to refuse.
After saying this, Wen Yu felt her cheeks getting hot, like a breeze blowing across a blazing flame, and the flames instantly burned even more vigorously.
Song Linsheng had soft eyebrows and a deep smile. His crescent-shaped eyes looked at Wen Yu, and his upright and elegant temperament surrounded her like a clear spring.
It is said that water and fire cannot coexist, but at this moment it seems that water and fire are blending together.
"Don't worry, Xiaoyu." Song Linsheng held Wenyu's toes with one hand and carefully put on her shoes and socks. "Sister Chen Chuo and Brother Chen Chuo are family. You don't need to be too restrained. Just be at ease."
Wen Yu supported herself on the soft couch with both hands, and could not help but lean forward to get closer to Song Linsheng. Looking at his smooth jade-like forehead, she murmured softly, "But didn't you say that Sister Shen Chuo is Her Royal Highness the Princess? How can I be so rude..."
Song Linsheng put Wen Yu's toes down and then straightened the hem of her skirt. Then he smiled at her and said, "That's the princess of Shangdu City. In Jiangyang Mansion and Guanwu Courtyard, she's your and my sister Chen Chuo, okay?"
Wen Yu frowned slightly, her cheeks puffed up, and she nodded as if she understood. Anyway, she didn't understand the many details of this mortal world, so it was right to listen to Song Linsheng.
Song Linsheng stood up, took Wen Yu's hand and led her out.
"So, don't neglect yourself for these unimportant things in the future, okay?"
Wen Yu looked up when she heard this. She was barely as tall as Song Linsheng's shoulders. Looking at Song Linsheng from this angle—
He seemed to be bathed in a layer of light golden light, and rays of autumn sun passed through his hair, dyeing each strand of hair with a dazzling color.
Song Linsheng happened to look over at her, and the two of them met each other unexpectedly. Wen Yu felt her heart stagnate.
Then, Wen Yu tightened her palms, felt Song Linsheng's warm fingertips, and suddenly calmed down.
"Yeah." She nodded solemnly.
Song Linsheng also had a gentle smile on his face and lively eyes.
As they were talking, the two of them walked to the door. Song Linsheng raised his sleeves and pushed the door open, not forgetting to instruct Wenyu, "You'll see Sister Shen Chuo and Brother Shen Chuo later. Xiaoyu, don't be shy. Just treat everything as usual."
Wen Yu nodded as if nothing had happened, but she still felt uneasy.
As soon as the door leaf opened, the light of the setting sun, wrapped in the last trace of afterglow, poured into Wen Yu's arms.
Wen Yu pinched the hem of her skirt and walked out of the door step by step.
Yu Chang was still wearing blue clothes, dressed like a girl, sitting in the corridor as usual, and no one knew what he was thinking.
When he saw Wen Yu appear, he looked up at her coldly.
Wen Yu glanced at him tentatively and waved cautiously to Yu Chang as a greeting.
Yu Chang was just like her and didn't say anything. After all, Wen Yu had slept in Guanwu Courtyard many times in the past, so he was no longer surprised.
Seeing Yu Chang turned his face away and still closed his eyes as if taking a nap, Wen Yu pursed his lips, snorted lightly, and continued walking towards the yard.
Song Linsheng followed Wen Yu closely.
Wen Yu walked down the stone steps in front of the courtyard and immediately saw Chen Chuo practicing martial arts in the yard.
A silver spear was turning in her palm, and the sound of breaking through the air came with it. She looked very light and at ease, but the sound of the silver spear made people feel cold and dared not underestimate it.
Wen Yu stopped and she suddenly remembered the saying "With the red tassel in hand, you can tie up the blue dragon." It was the most appropriate way to describe Sister Chen Chuo at this moment.
"Sister Shen Chuo has been studying spearmanship since she was young. Back then, my brother followed her every day, rain or shine, practicing with her."
Song Linsheng tilted his head and whispered in Wen Yu's ear.
Wen Yu's slightly surprised look passed across Song Linsheng's face, and then she looked to the side as Song Linsheng gestured.
Under the camphor tree, on the swing.
Song Shuangcheng was holding a heavy cloak in his arms, looking at the center of the courtyard with a smile on his face, seemingly absorbed in himself.
Wen Yu followed Song Shuangcheng's line of sight and looked over——
Sure enough, it was Chen Chuo.
"It seems that this habit has never changed over the years." Wen Yu whispered mysteriously beside Song Linsheng.
Perhaps it was his brother's perseverance, or perhaps it was Xiaoyu's naiveté, but Song Linsheng couldn't help but chuckle, "Xiaoyu is right."
"What did you say?" Shen Chuo happened to have put away his silver spear and saw Wen Yu and Song Linsheng talking on the steps. "What did Madam Wen Yu say?"
Wen Yu and Song Linsheng looked at each other, and both saw a hint of cunning in each other's eyes.
"Xiaoyu praised Sister Shen Chuo for her superb martial arts and heroic demeanor." Song Linsheng straightened his expression and answered obediently.
"Women are as good as men, and red makeup is even better than armor." Wen Yu immediately responded. Although she seemed to be trying to hide her embarrassment, she also praised Sister Chen Chuo from the bottom of her heart.
Shen Chuo raised her eyebrows upon hearing this, and then laughed out loud. She raised her hand and handed the silver spear to Song Shuangcheng who had already caught up, then stood up and let him put the cloak on her.
"Brother Cheng, I won't need the cloak these days." After taking off the silver spear, his voice seemed to soften. "Can you..."
"It's windy at night. If you still want to drink..." Song Shuangcheng spoke slowly, and just raised his eyes and smiled at Chen Chuo.
"I'll wear it, I'll wear it." Chen Chuo raised his hands as if surrendering.
In front of the battlefield, she fought hard against the enemy and never retreated, but in front of Song Shuangcheng, she always willingly surrendered again and again.
Song Shuangcheng smiled and nodded, carefully tied Shen Chuo's belt, and then turned around to collect the gun.
"Don't just stand there. Come over here quickly." Chen Chuo waved his hand and pointed at the various drinks and dishes on the table. "If you don't come, I'll order the inkstone to be washed and the feast to begin."
"Yes! Your Highness!" Xiyan appeared from nowhere, holding a newly opened wine jar in both hands. "This is the loquat wine that Master and Madam Wen brewed earlier. Your Highness, would you like to try it?"
"Wash the inkstone!" Wen Yu rushed forward in two steps. "Can we drink now?"
She almost forgot the wine she and Song Linsheng brewed in Xianchun Courtyard.
"Hmm." Xi Yan saw Wen Yu coming over, but his eyes couldn't help but pass over Wen Yu's shoulder, "Madam Wen, why don't you try it first?"
Having said that, without caring about Wen Yu's answer, Xiyan hurriedly stuffed the jar of wine into Wen Yu's arms, and then ran straight down the corridor.
Wen Yu lowered his head and looked at the wine jar that suddenly appeared in his hand. He was stunned for a moment and then raised his eyes and followed the figure of Xi Yan.
The inkstone that was in front of her just now was standing beside Yu Chang in the blink of an eye.
"Miss Yingying, are you...are you feeling better today?"
Miss Yingxing hasn't been seen going out these past few days. Although he often stays with the young master, it is not convenient for him to walk around Guanwu Courtyard too often, so it is not convenient for him to come to see Miss Yingxing.
When they first met today, he didn't know what to say.
Yu Chang looked at Wen Yu from a distance, then turned his gaze away and looked at Xi Yan, "Yeah."
"That's good, today is Double Ninth Festival..."
Xiyan was muttering something, but Wenyu didn't hear clearly. She looked back at the jar of wine in her arms and shrugged.
Suddenly, a pair of white hands took the wine jar from her arms. Wen Yu looked up and saw that it was Song Linsheng.
"Today is Double Ninth Festival, why drink loquat wine?" Song Linsheng smiled faintly and led Wen Yu to sit down.
The flowers in the courtyard are gradually blooming and fragrant, which is very pleasant in the twilight when the golden light fades away.
Wen Yu was standing among the chrysanthemums. She raised her sleeves and brushed across the slender petals. The emerald green color on them was like emerald jade. This was probably the Panlong Jasper that Ah Zhu mentioned.
No wonder she wears flowers and drinks wine!
Song Linsheng put the loquat wine aside and poured a cup of tea for everyone.
"Xiaoyu, this is the chrysanthemum tea that Mr. Zhou sent this afternoon."
After saying that, Song Linsheng tapped his fingers lightly and pushed the teacup towards Wen Yu.
Wen Yu suddenly realized and remembered this.
On the night of Girls' Day, Wen Yu met Mr. Zhou at the Lantern Festival, and she promised to give her chrysanthemum tea that she had dried herself.
"But didn't Mr. Zhou invite me to drink with him? Why didn't he meet me to talk about it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Yu's face suddenly turned red.
It was the afternoon, and she was probably sleeping soundly and had no time to see Mr. Zhou.
Song Linsheng pursed his lips and shook his head, "This is exactly what Mr. Zhou asked me to tell Xiaoyu."
"When it was delivered, Mr. Zhou was in a hurry and said he didn't have time to drink tea with Xiaoyu. We can only wait until she returns to the city next time."
"Back to the city?" Wen Yu scratched the tip of his nose, rather puzzled. "Mr. Zhou left the city?"
"Yeah." Song Linsheng's smile deepened. "The scenery is picturesque in autumn. Mr. Zhou said he would take the students out of the city to collect folk songs. The return date is uncertain."
Wen Yuxing's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. "Leaving the city to collect folk songs at this time..."
Could it be that he wanted to avoid Wen Yanli?
Although she didn't ask the question out loud, she seemed to have seen the answer in Song Linsheng's smile.
"Then Shen Sheng and Song Yuan..."
"Of course I'll go with Mr. Zhou."
Song Linsheng nodded affirmatively and patiently answered Wen Yu's questions.
Wen Yu sighed in his heart and couldn't help but look up at the sky.
The night deepens and the wind blows softly.
Thinking of Master Wen's sad yet resolute expression that night, I am sure he will not miss this trip.
"Okay!" Seeing that the two of them had finished talking, Chen Chuo laughed loudly and said, "Everyone has their own place to go, so why not mention it?"
Wen Yu came back to her senses and nodded hurriedly, "Sister Chen Chuo is right."
Then she raised her sleeve and brought the chrysanthemum tea in front of her to her lips, taking a sip and savoring its unique sweet taste.
Although I cannot drink with Mr. Zhou, I must not let his kindness go to waste.
"Wash the inkstone, and ask your wife to come over." Chen Chuo waved his hand, not sticking to etiquette at all. "It's almost time, we should start the meal."
The man who had been standing hunched over the inkstone in the corridor straightened up upon hearing what Chen Chuo said. He raised his hand to scratch the back of his head while explaining, "Your Highness, this is not my home..."
But before he could finish, Yu Chang stood up and walked towards where Wen Yu was, as if he didn't take Shen Chuo's words to heart at all.
Xiyan pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed, but still hurried to catch up.
In a blink of an eye, Yu Chang walked in front of Wen Yu, but did not sit down. His pair of eyes with extremely pale color were locked on Wen Yu's face.
Wen Yu's eyes rolled and she immediately understood. She quickly pulled Song Linsheng inside to sit down, leaving an empty seat for Yu Chang beside her.
"Sister, please?"
