It is said that at that time, Lin Yueyuan was called home by a flying pigeon and regretted it, but Lin Chang really called the two brothers and sisters back with a fake illness. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two of them are always wandering outside, which makes Lin Chang worried, and he is also afraid that sooner or later they will get into the bad things outside, and change their minds, especially Lin Risheng. Such a good year is the time to work hard, walking the streets and alleys all day long, losing both identity and abandoning studies. As soon as his anger subsided, he had to calm down and plan for the future of his children, so he designed to trick them into returning home and lock them up.

Lin Risheng was forced to study and read every day, temporarily giving up his career of saving people, and Lin Yueyuan was even more resentful, smashing pots and bowls every day, making loud noises, but Lin Chang always turned a deaf ear and let her make noise.

Just when she felt that she was about to suffocate to death, Chen Siyu suddenly visited with twenty slaves from her family.

Lin Chang knew that she was the niece of Chen Ping's mother's family, or she sold her face and met her.

Chen Siyu saw his sweet dimples, and coaxed Lin Chang to laugh for a long time, although he despised the Chen family in his bones, this little girl was sweet and cute and had a sweet mouth. Therefore, when she cried and begged for the Lin brothers and sisters to visit her grandfather to relieve his lovesickness, he agreed without hesitation.

He regretted it a little afterwards, but the gentleman said that he could not go back on his word in front of a little girl, so he had to let him go.

Before leaving, he bitterly persuaded Lin Risheng to work hard in order to become famous in the imperial examination, Lin Risheng was burdened with his father's entrustment and felt pressure. But Lin Yueyuan was full of irrepressible joy like a happy bird, in order to go out smoothly, she patiently listened to Lin Chang's serious teachings, and it was rare that she didn't retort.

Lin Chang knew that she was against the yang, and he didn't bother to care. But he solemnly assigned her an important task: after visiting her grandfather, he would send her to Beijing to visit her aunt. In fact, visiting relatives is just a pretense, and it is his purpose to go to the palace in advance to recognize relatives and acquaintances, and pave the way for Lin Risheng's future career.

Lin Yueyuan didn't think so deeply, and happily agreed, anyway, as long as she didn't stuff her at home, she would be willing to do whatever she wanted, so after these twists and turns, the three of them went to Hangzhou smoothly.

After entering Mingbi Villa, Chen Hong's face changed when he heard that it was the Lin family, and he still couldn't forgive Lin Chang for his affection for Chen Ping, but Chen Siyu's words eased him, after all, they were also Chen Ping's own flesh and blood.

Chen Hong reluctantly accepted them, although he still didn't have a good face, but both of them respected him very much.

It didn't take long for the people from Lin Chang's faction to arrive, and Lin Yueyuan was willing to leave, so he wanted to get rid of everyone and run first. Lin Risheng knew that his sister was a wild horse that could not be tethered, so he had to lead people around to look for him. She was so mischievous that she happily hid in the suburbs of the city and played all the famous places in Hangzhou, and then someone sent a letter to inform Lin Risheng that she had gone north to Chang'an, which made him cry and laugh.

But she didn't know that just a few days after her stay, an incident happened at Mingbi Villa, which changed the fate of many people by chance.

At that time, it was the most beautiful time in Hangzhou.

Chen Siyu, the eldest lady of Mingbi Villa, naturally did not miss this good opportunity to have fun, she took Lin Risheng to the West Lake with great interest, and the two of them took a flat boat to float deep into the lotus flowers from the wide and calm water to the depths of the lotus that were stacked on top of each other.

The boatman held a slender green bamboo artemisia in his hand, standing on the bow of the boat and comfortably dividing the flowers and brushing the water, while the two of them sat firmly opposite each other in the quaint cabin, admiring the beautiful scenery of the world that has fascinated the literati and scholars of all generations, while savoring the pure taste of the Longjing concocted by Miss Chen herself.

Chen Siyu couldn't help but look happy when she saw him, she was slightly proud while being happy, she naughtily pulled his sleeve, and asked him to make a poem or a word to praise the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou's West Lake.

Lin Risheng put down the teacup, pondered for a long time, and shook his head silently: "I have no poetry to say for a while. ”

Chen Siyu said angrily: "You will be perfunctory." ”

Lin Risheng said modestly: "It's not that I'm perfunctory, it's just that the beauty of West Lake is current, and there are too many excellent works of predecessors, how dare you make an axe for the younger generation." I'd better recite a song by the ancients. After a pause, he slowly groaned: "After all, in the middle of June, the scenery of West Lake is not the same as the four seasons. The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red. Yin Ba's eyes rested firmly on a red lotus beside the boat.

"Ha, it's right in the middle, and it's really this one. The poem is a good poem, but in my opinion, although the description of the scene is three points into the wood, it has charm and less charm, just like a catchy limerick poem that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Chen Siyu commented with a slightly arrogant smile.

Lin Risheng laughed and said: "Heh, Miss Chen, you have such a big breath, Yang Wanli's poems all over the world have been criticized by you, I am really curious, I want to listen to it, which sage's poems can be lucky enough to enter your eyes." ”

Chen Siyu pretended to stretch out his hand to fight, and said with a smile: "Okay, you Lin Risheng, you dare to arrange me." "The hand reached out halfway and then retracted, deliberately pretending to be a serious way, "If you talk about poetry, I haven't read a few books as a deep lady, I don't know if it's good or not, but I only love a song in Dongpo's 'Mushroom Pu boundless water, lotus flowers bloom at night and dew fragrant." Gradually see the lights out of the far temple, and wait for the moon to be dark to see the lake. I forgot the name. As she spoke, she reached out and touched her head as if annoyed.

"Night Flood West Lake." Lin Risheng continued without thinking.

Chen Siyu pretended not to hear, and asked knowingly: "What did you say?" ”

Lin Risheng patiently repeated a stool: "The night is full of West Lake." ”

Chen Siyu blinked his eyes in surprise, leaned forward and said loudly, "Huh? You just said that you want to go to the West Lake at night, so take me with you. ”

Lin Risheng regretted that he had fallen for the trick again, shook his head and sighed, and said with a wry smile helplessly: "Alas, I really can't help you, I want to play by myself, and you want to pull me as your shield, you really think about me everywhere." ”

In the evening, a light rain began to fall on the West Lake, and after dinner, the rain became heavier. Lin Risheng took the opportunity to propose to cancel the proposal to go to the West Lake at night, but the fact is that he is not willing to go to the West Lake at night with Chen Siyu at all. The night is dark and the wind is high, and the lonely men and widows are dangerous, unsafe and unruly.

How could Chen Siyu not guess his thoughts, every time she wanted to take a risk and do something exciting, he always pushed back on the grounds of safety, so impatient. So this time, she disapplievously brought out two sentences from Su Shi's other famous poem "Drinking the Lake After the Rain": "The water is shining, the sun is clear, and the mountains are empty and rainy." Come and "teach" him. She made full use of her skillful skills as a merchant descendant, and distorted her central idea by distorting the nondescript words mixed with slang in the allusions, that is, boating on a rainy night is more elegant. Lin Risheng was noncommittal in the face of her clever words, and watched her talk to herself with amusement.

However, the result was not satisfactory, and he finally tried his best to persuade Lin Risheng, but at the last moment, Chen Siyu retreated by himself: Chen Hong sent the housekeeper to send an account that needed to be checked urgently. She had to explain the reason to Lin Risheng awkwardly and apologetically.

Lin Risheng was naturally secretly happy, and took the opportunity not to say anything to blame, let alone take the opportunity to ridicule and ridicule in order to gain face, he always understood and tolerated others with a generous and benevolent heart, even if he was coldly scolded, he still stubbornly bowed his head and was willing to be a son of a cow.

Chen Siyu is extremely meticulous and cautious in the management of the accounts in Mingbi Villa, according to the custom, the account books are first sent by the loyal old housekeeper and placed in the compartment of the account room, and these accounts are all compiled by dozens or hundreds of bookkeepers from the branch of the shops in various parts of the Chen family. She is equivalent to the head of the Chen family's bookkeeper, and the old housekeeper will send it to Chen Hong for review after the account book is verified.

She not only manages all the affairs of the family, but also takes care of the Chen family's business contacts in an orderly manner, of course, she also has a right-hand man who is Xiao Hongye.

Xiao Hongye is the daughter of the Chen family, and her parents are servants of the Chen family, and she no longer serves the Chen family when she is old. The two of them were greatly favored by Old Man Chen and moved out of Mingbi Villa to live alone. In order to show gratitude, he left his youngest daughter by Chen Siyu's side, became a personal maid, and waited until she was of marriageable age to marry on her own. It's just that Xiao Hongye has followed the eldest lady since she was a child, and she is very affectionate, and she volunteered to wait for the young lady to leave the cabinet before thinking about her life's events. She is bold and careful, with a clear distinction between public and private, and is Chen Siyu's predecessor who knows the roots.

The lights in the account room kept going all night, Xiao Hongye knew in her heart that once her young lady was busy, she would not care about day and night, she was distressed, and boiled a bowl of calendula for her overnight.

Xiao Hongye came in lightly with a bowl, Chen Siyu was lying in front of a pile of accounts, checking each account intently, his eyes were over, his fingers slid on the ledger in a row, and the two lip flaps moved up and down one by one, matching the ground seamlessly. In front of the desk, she changed her playful and naughty appearance in the past, and looked extremely serious and serious, if this look made Lin Risheng, who was used to being tricked by her on weekdays, see it, she would definitely be surprised.

Xiao Hongye didn't dare to stay longer, put down the tea bowl and got up to retreat, but then remembered that there was something that didn't come back, so he quietly walked quickly to Chen Siyu and replied softly: "Miss, last time Mrs. Warm Pavilion Agarwood carved lacquer box lost a piece of jade, this time it has been recovered, the girl who stole was locked up, Su Rui's family asked me to ask how to deal with it." ”

Chen Siyu continued to look at the account without looking up: "What about the things, bring them to me and take a look." ”

Xiao Hongye took out a tightly wrapped red silk cloth bag from his arms, carefully peeled off layer by layer, and there was an intact Nangong beauty bracelet lying quietly inside. She pushed it in front of Chen Siyu with both hands, and Chen Siyu put down the account book and looked at her hand.

"It's nothing else, it's this one." Chen Siyu pinched the bracelet with both fingers and put it in the palm of his hand and sighed, "This bracelet was originally a pair, a relic of my mother's life, and its original name was Nanshan Dongli Ju." There was a slight sourness in his voice, and there was a bit of a taste of seeing things and thinking about people.

She slowly explained the origin of the bracelet to Xiao Hongye: "It is only because there is a touch of tender yellow in the center of the milky white jade body of this bracelet, which is like a yellow chrysanthemum that blooms alone in autumn, so it is named." Beauty bracelets have always been liked by southern women, its bracelet body is extremely thin, the inner ring is large, delicate and smart. Southern women are accustomed to carrying two with one hand, dragging them lightly and loosely on their wrists, and wearing dingdong at the starting point, which is good-sounding. ”

Talking about this, she looked desolate: "It's a pity that the other one has been destroyed, and although my mother likes it the most, she doesn't bring it with me." In this way, the girl has violated the taboo of my dead mother, and I will not tolerate her. ”

Xiao Hongye continued: "Then it will be over according to the severe punishment of Su Rui's family." ”

Chen Siyu stroked the bracelet and cautiously added: "What does Su Rui's family say?" ”

"Su Rui's family said that they were going to send that girl named Bai Linglin to the government." Xiao Hongye said with a smile, "Miss, I'll tell you the truth, I can't remember who she is when I hear her name at first glance." ”

Chen Siyu smiled without thinking: "Oh, she is the girl who wipes the gold in my mother's former residence on weekdays, no wonder she can avoid people's eyes and ears, it turns out to be a building near the water." ”

Xiao Hongye said in surprise: "Yo, miss, you have a really good memory, it's true." ”

Chen Siyu sneered: "I won't hide it from you, this Mingbi Villa and the mansion, the names and origins of hundreds of people, their birth dates and ages, and there are no big or small things that I can't say." This girl was cleaning in my mother's former house, far away from our main house, and she was an insignificant figure, you don't know it, so you naturally don't recognize it. ”

She opened the drawer, put out a pair of silver ingots weighing five taels and said, "After all, she is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and she is also the same generation as me." can't force people to death, and Su Rui's family should also go to the temple more at an age to walk around and be more compassionate. However, stealing is a ruin in the end, and we should set some rules for her, and if one day she commits it again elsewhere, others will not blame us for not being strict in discipline. Tell Su Rui's family to beat her, give her the silver, and drive her out of the house. ”
