Chapter 106 Murong Xi
Xiao Lu walked briskly out of the private room and through the corridor that was hung with red lanterns and delicate window decorations. The corridor was silent, with only his light footsteps echoing in the air.
He came to the door of the room where Lin Wan'er was resting and gently pushed it open. The door hinge made a slight creaking sound, and a faint scent of ink and the occasional sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance from the window intertwined, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Lin Wan'er was looking down at the desk, concentrating on holding a wolf-hair brush and drawing delicate lines on the white rice paper. Her movements were gentle and graceful, as if every stroke contained endless emotions and thoughts.
It was an autumn landscape painting that was about to be completed. In the picture, the mountains stood tall, surrounded by clouds and mist; the stream in the valley rushed down, splashing water; the ancient pine on the top of the mountain was vigorous and upright, standing like a guardian. The whole painting was profound, as if you could hear the gurgling of the mountain stream and the dancing of fallen leaves.
Just as Lin Wan'er was immersed in her creation, Xiao Lu's voice broke the silence. "Miss, the nobleman from the capital, he..." Xiao Lu's voice was slightly nervous, as if he had something important to tell Lin Wan'er.
Lin Wan'er paused for a moment when she heard this, and then she leisurely put down the wolf-hair brush in her hand. She slowly turned around, her eyes fell on Xiao Lu, her eyes flashing with curiosity and tenderness, and she asked softly: "Oh? What's the matter with him?" Her voice was soft but majestic, which made people involuntarily respect her.
Lin Wan'er smiled gently, and that smile was like the warm spring sun, warm but not dazzling. "This is rare. Since he has such a heart, I naturally cannot refuse him." She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Have you ever asked him why he came to Yuncheng this time?"
Xiao Lu shook his head, a trace of apology flashed across his face. "Miss, I didn't ask in detail, but I know that his words and deeds revealed something extraordinary, and he was quite familiar with the affairs of the capital. He didn't seem to be an ordinary businessman or tourist."
When Lin Wan'er heard this, she pondered in her heart. The nobleman from the capital appeared in Yuncheng at such a sensitive time, which made her start to associate. Could it be that he has some kind of relationship with the court? Especially since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now at Sister Yan'er's house, she couldn't help but feel worried, worried that this nobleman is here to hunt down His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
However, she was also curious about this noble man in her heart. She really wanted to know why he came and whether he was really what she thought. Despite this, she was still worried, afraid that it would bring her some unnecessary trouble.
"Xiao Lu, what do you think this noble young man wants to talk to me about?" Lin Wan'er asked softly.
Xiao Lu scratched his head and thought for a while before answering: "Miss, I'm not sure. But judging from the look on this gentleman's face, he doesn't seem to be looking for trouble. Maybe he just wants to express his gratitude to you."
Lin Wan'er nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with Xiao Lu's opinion. She knew that although this noble man did not seem to have any ill intentions, she still needed to be cautious. So, she made up her mind to meet this noble man and hear what he had to say.
"Okay, Xiao Lu, go tell the young master that I will be there later." Lin Wan'er said to Xiao Lu with a smile.
Xiao Lu nodded and said, "Okay, miss!" After that, he turned and left. After a moment, he came back to report that the young master was already waiting in the private room.
Lin Wan'er nodded slightly, indicating that she understood, and then she adjusted her dress gracefully, with gentle and delicate movements. Then, she walked towards the private room with light steps.
After entering the private room, Lin Wan'er found the nobleman sitting at the table, concentrating on the book in his hand. Hearing the footsteps, the nobleman looked up, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He quickly stood up, walked quickly to the door to greet Lin Wan'er, and bowed respectfully.
"My name is Murong Xi, and I'm from the capital. Miss, I'm sorry to bother you so much." The young man introduced himself to Lin Wan'er politely with a smile on his face.
Lin Wan'er bowed slightly in return, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said softly: "Mr. Murong, you are too polite. I wonder what Mr. Murong wants to see me about?" Her voice was clear and pleasant, like the sound of nature.
The noble young man showed a gentle smile on his face and said, "Young lady, to be honest, I came here for two reasons: one is to thank you for giving up the private room so that I can taste such delicious food; the other is to ask you for some news?" His tone was sincere, and his eyes revealed sincerity and kindness.
"I wonder what Mr. Murong wants to find out?" Lin Wan'er said.
Murong Xi smiled happily when he heard this: "Girl, I wonder if there is a strange man in your town who is very handsome."
Although Lin Wan'er had some guesses in her mind that they were looking for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she still kept a gentle smile on her face and didn't show it directly. "Mr. Murong, I really didn't pay much attention to the strange man you asked about. However, there are often travelers passing through our town, and maybe there really is this handsome young man you described. If you can provide more information about his characteristics or whereabouts, perhaps I can help you find out more accurately."
After hearing this, Murong Xi's eyes flashed with anticipation, and he continued, "In addition to his handsome appearance, his demeanor reveals an extraordinary and noble temperament. He is about fifteen years old."
Lin Wan'er thought to herself when she heard this. This description was indeed consistent with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. However, she did not show it immediately. She just nodded slightly and said, "I understand, Master Murong. I will have my men pay more attention, especially those strange men who are dressed luxuriously and have outstanding temperaments. Once there is any news, I will send someone to inform you immediately."
Murong Xi looked at Lin Wan'er gratefully and thanked her again: "Thank you, young lady. Your help is very important to me. I would be very grateful if you can find this man."
Lin Wan'er smiled and responded, "Mr. Murong, you are too polite. This is what I should do. However, the town has a large population, so it may take some time. Please be patient."
"Miss, if you have any news, you can come to the Youran Inn to find me. Murong would like to thank you very much." Murong Xi said
The atmosphere became harmonious and cordial as the two talked. Before leaving, Murong Xi confirmed Lin Wan'er's contact information again and expressed his deep gratitude to her.
Lin Wan'er stood outside the private room, watching his receding figure, and thought to herself: Who is this Mr. Murong? Is he here as a friend or an enemy?
As the night deepens, the Ruyi Restaurant is still brightly lit and bustling with people. However, behind this prosperity, an undercurrent of power and destiny is quietly surging...
