"Is there a fifth princess who is good-looking?" Lin Guanlan shrugged. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mu Qinyi raised his eyes slightly, but he didn't know what Lin Guanlan meant when he suddenly mentioned Mu Chenghuang, Lin Guanlan just lay down, cocked Erlang's legs and said, "If you can't even compare to the fifth princess, there is nothing to say." ”

"At tomorrow's banquet, your old lady has spoken, and he will tie you up. Mu Qinyi took a sip of tea, "You know, I have always been very obedient to your old lady." ”

"I know, especially since you asked him to borrow a few broken books for you. Lin Guanlan got up and poured all the tea he had tasted half of just now into his mouth: "Then I won't go, he asked me to pick up the one surnamed Shen today, if I don't go, what can he do to me?"

"You are his heart, he naturally can't stand it, but before you come to Fun Xiaozhu, find out who the boss behind the scenes here is, and then let's talk. Mu Qinyi said, just let the quail push him out, and when he came to the door, he suddenly turned his head to Lin Guanlan and said: "Oh, by the way, you poured tea and served the wrong teapot just now, and the water in that teapot is raw, and it hasn't boiled yet." Lin Guanlan's face changed slightly, and Mu Qinyi shook his head, "I really don't know why you were so happy just now." ”

Lin Guanlan had something on his mind, so he naturally didn't pay attention to whether there were tea leaves in the water or whether the water was boiling.

The painting boat has already reached the center of the lake, but there is a small boat that has been following the painting boat, Mu Qinyi followed the method of getting on the boat just now, and a flying body landed steadily on the rattan chair on the boat, and the quail trembled and held the deck down, and was busy opening the large oil-paper umbrella that shaded the sun.

"Let's go back. Mu Qin Yi spoke, and with a faint sentence, he asked the quail again, "Have all the things for the banquet been arranged?"

The quail nodded, and couldn't help but ask again: "The prince doesn't like these powerful people the most on weekdays, why did he take the initiative to hold a banquet this time?"

Mu Qinyi closed his eyes slightly, and just whispered: "Didn't he think I was idle enough and not mediocre enough? Mu Qinyi calculated in his heart, this day, the banquet invitations sent to the palace should be almost the same, and Jinglan Palace should have also received it.

Lin Guanlan was left alone in this painting boat to swim in the lake, until the evening, before he was ready to leave, the cost of the small building is not small, even this painting boat, are calculated according to the hour, Lin Guanlan lay on the painting boat and slept for an afternoon, this sleep, but it is dozens of taels of snowflakes and silver taels, when he went ashore, the proprietress of the happy small building Qiao Jinhua personally greeted him, people like Lin Guanlan spent money, all of them were on the account first, and then at the end of the month, the merchant sent the bill to the house to receive the money directly, so this beautiful gold flower came over, it must not be a reminder.

Qiao Jinhua is over thirty years old, surnamed Jin, but just like a pretty word in this name, she is really delicate and gorgeous, her demeanor is graceful but not inferior, how much business has a pair of peach blossom eyes attracted to Huan Xiaozhu, she looked at Lin Guanlan and finally went ashore after swimming all afternoon, and said with a smile: "Lin Gongzi is still staying here today?"

"That's it," Lin Guanlan looked back at the endless blue water, the lake wind gusted, and he didn't know who designed this landscape forest garden, it was so superb, it was very much in line with his heart, if he could keep it here for the rest of his life, put aside those unhappy things and pastime every day, "Today is the birthday of the macaw raised by my mother, I have to rush back." Lin Guanlan clapped his hands, suddenly thought of something, and then said to Qiao Jinhua with a graceful face, "I don't know the gold shopkeeper, is it inconvenient to go with me?"

Although the sun has gone down, there is still residual heat, there are many fewer people on the official road in the suburbs of Beijing, and there is only an hour before the city gate is closed.

Today's happiest is the boss of this tea house, steamed buns, dim sum, tea and cakes, today is the most sold, before closing the stall and preparing to go home, he also specially steamed a large cage of hair cakes for this group of Shen family to keep, saying that it was sent, by the way, left his sickle for chopping wood, the maid peony pinched this heavy sickle for some reason, tilted his head and asked: "This ...... It's also a gift?"

"Keep it for the girl's self-defense, although it is a suburb of Beijing, but what if?" The owner of the tea house was short and fat, and his eyes were gone when he laughed.

"What if?"

"Thief," said the owner of the tea house very seriously, "but I can't beat your girl if I want to come, it's really not good, just use this sickle to wipe your neck, it's better than dragging it back to be the lady of the village." ”

"Bah, you big-headed ghost, how can something happen to us who are such strong men? You got cheap and cursed my girl, and returned all the money today. Peony followed Shen Ke for a long time, and his temperament turned out to be like Shen Ke, dancing with a sickle, scaring the owner of the tea house away, and he wanted to scold a few words, but Shen Ke's voice came from the carriage again: "Peony, don't scold, someone is coming." ”

Most of the men and women in Dashun can ride horses, even if the Lin family has been studying for generations, but Master Lin and Old Lady Lin are also good at horseback riding, Lin Guanlan is naturally not to be outdone, he rides a white big horse, the dark brown saddle is polished and shiny, and there is a soft sedan chair with a certain purple curtain and white yarn behind him, and a woman is sitting in it.

Lin Guanlan didn't get off the horse, stopped in front of Shen Ke's carriage, and said in a lazy voice: "Young Master Ben is here to pick you up, where is the Shen family's mansion? If you know the way, go back by yourself when you enter the city." It seemed that he was afraid that Shen Ke would pull the curtain out, and said, "You don't have to get off the carriage lane to thank you, Young Master Ben doesn't dare to see your true face, for fear of nightmares." ”

In Lin Guanlan's heart, the woman who can clean up the Cao Gang and the Ma Gang in Lingnan alone must be born with a pockmarked face, fierce and vicious, and the boss of the two gangs will be scared of the two gangs as soon as she pulls the veil, so that she has the reputation of the Shen family in Lingnan, in fact, it is inevitable that Lin Guanlan will think wildly, although Shen Ke is famous, she is veiled when she goes in and out of business, and she has never shown her face, and not many people have seen her true face.

Lin Guanlan thought that he would be annoyed and have a seizure when he said this, so it was best for him to go back and tell his two old men that you found a shrew to be my daughter-in-law, but Shen Ke just said softly: "I know that today is the birthday of the macaw raised by Mrs. Lin, so I specially prepared a small gift, and I ask Lin Gongzi to bring it back for me." After Shen Ke finished speaking, Peony took out a bird cage wrapped tightly in silk cloth from the back box of the carriage, this bird cage is pure copper, the important thing is not that the volume is larger than the ordinary bird cage, but the furnishings here are very exquisite, the swings and troughs that the birds like are basically natural, in addition, the bottom plate can also be moved, which is convenient for the servants to clean up the bird droppings, and on the top, there is a funnel-like mouth, and the bottom is connected to a bamboo pipe, and the bird's drinking water can flow out from here continuously, and in the end, it will flow back into the bamboo tube, and the cycle is endless。

Lin Guanlan was shocked that Shen Ke actually had such a thought, but it was immediately replaced by a lot of emotion, and he snorted coldly: "No matter how beautiful it is, it's just a birdcage, if you let the bird choose by itself, I'm afraid it will be more willing to return to nature." ”

"It naturally likes to return to nature, but as everyone knows, how long can a bird that has been domesticated by humans live when it returns to the forest of strife?" After all, it is to let the beautiful gold flower in the soft sedan come down, and the maid next to the beautiful gold flower is still holding a thick stack of account books, which are all Lin Guanlan's accounts in the joy hunting small building this month.

Lin Guanlan said with a smile: "A total of one thousand and eighty-two taels and two dollars, you can pay back one thousand and one hundred taels for me, and the rest will be regarded as a reward." ”

"A strong laborer in an ordinary family can earn a maximum of two taels of silver for a month's work, and you will be rewarded with a dozen taels as soon as you reward someone, and you will spend a thousand taels a month, which is a big breath. Shen Ke's voice was still soft, but his words were not soft at all.

"What?" Lin Guanlan just likes to see Shen Ke doesn't like herself, she can't get used to seeing herself, the more she can't get used to it, the happier he is, he crossed his hands on his chest, "Do you think I spent too much?"

"Naturally, I won't dislike you for spending too much money in the Joy Hunting Building, the golden shopkeeper, just write off the account of Prince Lin, when I invite him." ”

Lin Guanlan always felt that this sentence was wrong, and it was sold?

Qiao Jinhua was very respectful, nodded again and again, and said, "Yes." ”

"In the future, don't let the eldest son of the Lin family go into the pleasure house," Shen Ke's voice was like a lingering sound, "so as not to blame Master Lin and Old Lady Lin." ”

Qiao Jinhua said again: "Yes." ”

Lin Guanlan was a little wooden, and the peony next to the carriage smiled triumphantly: "Master Lin still doesn't know? The big proprietor behind this happy building is my girl, the garden design and excerpts here are all from the hands of my girl, why not my girl tell the second shopkeeper to do things?"

Lin Guanlan ate a hard thing and soon reached Mu Chenghuang's ears in the evening, Mu Chenghuang listened to the peony painting while knocking melon seeds in the courtyard in front of the dormitory, telling that Lin Guanlan learned that the big proprietor behind his favorite pleasure building turned out to be his own girl's face, it was really a burst of green and white, and a burst of red and a burst of black, all in all, it was extremely ugly.

After Mu Chenghuang finished laughing, Wen Zhi happened to come in with a box of osmanthus sweet cakes packed in a brocade food box, and Peony took the food box and said with a smile: "It's still the fifth princess who remembers my girl the most, and I know that my girl's favorite thing to eat is osmanthus sweet cake." ”

"Look at what you said, Shen Ke is the eldest daughter of the Shen family, and her status is naturally unusual, and I am afraid that she will dislike me for this osmanthus cake and not be rich in your Shen family's pastries. ”

Peony listened, but only sighed, Mu Chenghuang immediately sensed something in his heart, and asked her, "What's the matter, isn't your girl in the Shen family bad?"
