At the end of the year, Xiao Yuqi married Miss Jiang, and it was very lively, but after all, it was not as good as Xiao Yuheng.

And Xiao Jinlan's day is set before the first month.

Although it is not an official marriage, after all, it is a side concubine, and it can also be on the royal jade plate, and the Liang Wangfu attaches great importance to it.

Even if he is unwilling, under the imperial gift, the Marquis of Yongning can only happily prepare for Xiao Jinlan to marry.

"Second Miss, Aunt Mei is here. ”

The night before, Liu was supposed to teach the etiquette of husband and wife, but since the matter was settled, Mei's many pickiness and provocations, Liu was happy not to interfere, so he didn't bother to come over.

Xiao Jinlan's eyes moved away from the spread dress, and Mei also entered the house, and the maid owed a debt, leaving the mother and daughter to talk.

"It's really beautiful, look at this embroidery, it's as vivid as the real thing, the prince is so bothered, the second lady will definitely make the prince can't take his eyes off it. ”

Mei Shi saw this auspicious dress at a glance, his eyes were shining, and his white and beautiful hands caressed the clearly textured embroidery, full of joy.

Xiao Jinlan raised the corners of her mouth when she heard this, revealing a self-deprecating arc, beautiful is really beautiful, but it is rose-red.

Aunt Mei glanced at her, suddenly sighed, and pulled Xiao Jinlan to sit down on the bed.

There is no one around, and Aunt Mei is no longer taboo about some things.

"Mother knows, you are not happy, who doesn't want to wear a red wedding dress to worship the church and get married, but Mother is not angry, you are inferior to your mother, otherwise with Lan'er's appearance, why worry about marrying a good family and being the wife of the main house. Speaking of this, Aunt Mei showed a sarcastic smile and said disdainfully, "Your father has never been along, but the façade is not good-looking and empty, or the grassroots are born poor and can read a few words, is it possible to ask you to fill in the dowry for him? When he gets ahead, you will become a yellow-faced woman, once this kind of person is in high school, he will definitely buy a concubine and a maid, and his mother will not agree to it no matter what." ”

After Aunt Mei finished sarcastic, seeing that Xiao Jinlan was silent and indifferent, she could only hold her hand and sigh again, "Your thoughts, my mother knows." Earlier, the old lady mentioned that her mother didn't agree, but she didn't expect that the sick seedling ......" Seeing Xiao Jinlan frowning, Aunt Mei changed her title, "Today's young master cousin is good, the future is a matter of time, the family has a permanent property, and there are no in-laws to serve above, and it is your father's nephew, kiss and kiss, no matter how good it is......"

"What's the use of Auntie talking about this now?" Xiao Jinlan said suddenly.

Aunt Mei choked, clenched her daughter's hand, and said in a low voice: "Daughter, no matter how good it is, how can it be compared to the royal family, although the mother is a woman, she also knows the future...... If you marry King Liang, if you have a son, will you still be worried that you will have no future? Besides, your fourth uncle is the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and your eldest brother-in-law is the marshal in charge of the heavy troops in the northwest, how can the King of Liang not pay attention to you? As for the young master...... You forget it, if he had affection for you, it would have been fine, and now it seems that it is just wishful thinking on your part. ”

The last sentence made Xiao Jinlan's eyes darken suddenly.

"Besides, you also know that he may not be good in the future, and how many people can die well against the prince? ”

Xiao Jinlan had nothing to say, once upon a time, she was still dissatisfied with Mrs. Tai's hot arrangement at that time, and she was full of pickiness about Lin Xi, always thinking that only a noble and heroic person like Prince Rui was worthy of her. But I don't know when it was, but I couldn't take my eyes off it, Lin Xi's gentle and calm posture became more and more pleasing to the eye, looking forward to Mrs. Tai's matchmaking again.

But this qiē is just wishful thinking.

Now the palace life that I once longed for is about to begin, and it is not only the prince's palace, but also the prince's palace, and maybe there will be a palace in the future.

Xiao Jinlan's hand didn't know when it clenched tightly, and only noticed the pain, so she came back to her senses and slowly let go, as if she was slowly opening the knot in her heart.

"Mother, I understand. She said softly, and firmly.

Aunt Mei suddenly smiled, "My good daughter, that's how it should be, you can rest assured that you will definitely not be better than Xiao Jinxin's girl in the future, wait, wait for the day when they kowtow to you." ”

After Xiao Jinlan entered the Liang Palace, it was the Spring Festival.

The academy has long been closed, the imperial court has withdrawn, and the carriage of the Hou Mansion has also stopped at the gate of the Bai Mansion early, waiting to take the young master back for the New Year.

Mr. Bai directly rejected Lin Xi's invitation, and sat under the porch alone and watched the little apprentice get into the carriage of the Hou Mansion and leave, and couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness.

"This one can't go back to Beijing, and the other goes home, so he leaves the old man alone and widowed, and he really has no conscience. Mr. Bai looked at the snow, his heart was sour, and he couldn't express the bitterness in his heart, and drinking a cup of hot tea couldn't warm the bitter cold in his heart.

However, after an hour, he didn't want to turn around, Lin Xi turned back again, and smiled at Mr. Bai.

"I know that you won't honestly go to Chengdong Baifu, the senior brother is not here, how can the students leave you alone. ”

Mr. Bai looked at the little apprentice standing in the courtyard, standing tall like a green pine, smiling at himself with a white cloak facing the pure white snow, and suddenly his nose was sour, and he couldn't speak, but his heart was full of boiling water.

After a long time, he pouted his face and said: "It's not enough to worry about it for more than half a year, you still don't want to leave this New Year, how can you be a student like this." ”

Just have a hard mouth, turn your face sideways and think you can't see that your eyes are red? Lin Xi scolded in his heart.

But I still have to persuade you, old and young.

"It's because the students are reluctant to ask the teacher to take me in for the New Year, but don't kick me out. ”

It's really cold outside, Lin Xi said and walked into the porch, Zhou's mother and the two girls quickly helped him dust off the snow on his body, and a hot stove was stuffed into his hand.

Old Mr. Bai glanced at him and muttered, "Only one person is at ease." Then he turned and went into the house.

This little apprentice's body is not as good as him, he is afraid of the cold, and the snow scene under the corridor is good, but it is also windy and cold.

The old man had to be coaxed, and Lin Xi bent his eyebrows and quickly followed.

"...... over there in the Hou Mansion"

"I have already married my grandmother, and she asked me not to go back in a hurry, and I can go to visit the New Year in the first month. ”

Old Mr. Bai nodded, and the expression on his face suddenly relaxed.

The whole Bai Mansion was also extremely happy, in previous years, it was cold and cold, but now that Young Master Lin is here, it will be lively.

As for the big disciple, Mr. Bai now has a little apprentice in everything, and he doesn't have any hope.

But fortunately, the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, the angel sent by the imperial court to reward returned.

On that day, Gonggong Cao of Rui Wangfu arrived at Baifu, and he was followed by several carts full of New Year's gifts.

"This is a little bit of the prince's heart, what was just delivered today is the soil and mountain goods over there, for the old gentleman and Lin Gongzi to taste fresh, and add a dish for the New Year. ”

Gonggong Cao saluted Mr. Bai with great respect, and said apologetically, "The prince specially explained, he is really guilty and uneasy when he is not in front of the old man for a long time, and when the border is stable, he will be punished by the old man when he comes back." This time, I found two hundred-year-old ginseng, and I specially honored your old man. ”

said that he sent Zhao Jingyi's letter.

"In the world of family and country, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, it doesn't have to be like this. Although Mr. Bai didn't say anything, he was still most concerned about the big apprentice in his heart, but now he settled down and accepted the letter.

Then Gonggong Cao deepened the smile on his face, squinted his small eyes and looked at Lin Xi happily, "Lin Gongzi, the prince is very happy these days, the telescope you made has helped a lot, the prince said, only you miss him in your heart, always think about him, and you are filial piety for him in front of the old gentleman, he is extremely relieved, and specially ordered, you are him in the future, and the whole Rui Wangfu will listen to you." ”

No matter how calm Rao was, Lin Xi couldn't help but secretly glance at Mr. Bai, and when he saw that the teacher seemed to be unconscious, he glared at Gonggong Cao, who smiled more and more blindly.

I can only bite the bullet and say, "Senior brother has won the prize." ”

This is not to be relieved, and Gonggong Cao is also happy for his prince, "But the award is not awarded, if the son has instructions, please show it directly." ”

As soon as the New Year's gift of the Rui Wangfu arrives, the year will also arrive.

As for the Yongning Marquis Mansion, without Lin Xi and Zhao Yuanrong, it was just a symbolic exchange of favors, and it was just a gift to send someone.

In the evening, Lin Xi accompanied Mr. Bai for a drink with tea instead of wine, and went to bed after serving the old man before returning to his room.

Under the night light, Lin Xi read Zhao Jingyi's letter and found that once the high-ranking prince became affectionate, it was quite shameless to talk about love.

What "the mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is happy and the king knows it", he is a rough person, can't he understand it?

"Holding the hand of the son, growing old with the son" has been used up, can there be some novelty?

……

Lin Xi scolded while blushing and looking at it word by word.

It's been two lifetimes, in addition to his parents, there is finally such a person who puts him on the tip of his heart, and it is only a matter of time before he falls.

At this time, thinking back to the first meeting that made him hate it so much, it seems that this person is not so hateful.

When he woke up, the letter was still in his hand, and a round voice came from the door, and Lin Xi hurriedly put the letter away before someone came in.

Wash and change, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, to keep the New Year.

"Hey, where did this cloak come from?" Lin Xi asked puzzledly as he touched the smooth and soft snow-white cloak on his body, which was not like the previous one.

Yuan Yuan said: "Yesterday, it was sent by the Rui Wangfu, and it was given to you." The slave and maid looked at it, but the best ferret fur, on the neck is the fur of a fire fox, or the fur of a little fox, soft and not prickly, and a hat with it, the young master looks really good and warm when he wears it?"

That must be warm! Lin Xi stopped talking, just raised the corners of his mouth and bent his eyebrows.

"Young master, there is another set of small ones, exactly the same, it must be for the prince, the prince really has a heart. ”

Even the parent-child outfit is available, Lin Xi reached out and touched it, feeling softer and softer.

"Keep it well, and when Rong'er comes back, I'll change it for him. ”

All day long, the smile on Lin Xi's face never stopped, and Mr. Bai's gaze circled around him, snorting coldly a few times, and it was no longer interesting in the little apprentice's silly smile.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhao Yuanrong finally failed to leave the palace and keep the year with Lin Xi.

However, although there were many wars in the northwest, not an inch of land was still captured, and Zhao Yuanrong was rewarded far more than other princes and grandsons, and even the nine princes were also praised.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Xi went back to the Yongning Marquis Mansion to pay New Year's respects.

I heard that Xiao Jinlan entered the Liang Wang's Mansion and was quite favored by the Liang King, and on the second day of the first lunar month, she was let go back to the Hou Mansion as if she was returning to the province.

Lin Xi also glanced at Mrs. Tai when she greeted her, her eyes were full of cuihua, wearing the dress of the side concubine, reserved and proud, the girl who always spoke with a soft voice became the same lady after all.

Later, King Liang came to pick her up, and the men of the Yongning Marquis Mansion drank a cup of wine.

As soon as Xiao Jinlan left, within a few days, Aunt Mei fell ill, and Mrs. Tai was sent to Zhuangzi to recuperate.

And Zhao Yuanrong was finally allowed to leave the palace and come to the outside house, and the Nine Emperors did not follow him at this time.

Lin Xi specially waited at the gate of the palace, like parents in later generations, standing outside the school gate, waiting for their children after school.

It was an ordinary thing, but Zhao Yuanrong, who had been cautious in the palace, saw his cousin's familiar carriage, and his eyes instantly turned red like a nestling returning to the nest, and tears flowed down and buried in Lin Xi's arms.

The two nephews and uncles still live in Lanyue Xuan.

went to bed at night, just like before, Zhao Yuanrong, who hadn't slept with his cousin for a long time, nestled in Lin Xi's arms and smiled, smiled, and rolled around dishonestly.

"Hurry up and go to sleep. Lin Xi couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped his ass before he was willing to settle down.

Zhao Yuanrong hugged Lin Xi's arm tightly and called softly, "Cousin?"

He looked at Lin Xi with his eyes open, even if there was no candlelight, Lin Xi could feel that gaze, which really made him helpless.

"What?"

Zhao Yuanrong whispered: "You just promise your father." ”

There was silence for a moment.

Zhao Yuanrong took a light breath nervously, but without waiting for Lin Xi's answer, his mood couldn't help but slowly decline.

However, just as he was closing his eyes and preparing to sleep, he heard a soft sound over his head, "I promised a long time ago." ”

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, fireworks were set off in the palace, and the bright and beautiful people couldn't take their eyes off, and now Zhao Yuanrong's heart was also thumped, and his heart suddenly bloomed!

He thought it was the best New Year's gift of the year.
