Lord Shen listened to his old wife's nagging and was upset for a while. Coming and going is her daughter's family business, how can she understand her own mind.

When the old lady of the Shen family was still there, he was one of the courtiers of the emperor's cronies, and the Shen family at that time was also beautiful. Otherwise, how could the daughter of the Shen family marry the thirteenth master as a side Fujin and marry into the royal family, even if it is a side Fujin, it also depends on the family background.

But as soon as the old lady left, he was worried for three years. When he returned to the court, things were not people, and he didn't even get a decent real shortage. Hanging in the yamen, idle, unreal, really difficult.

What is obsessed with calligraphy, only he knows, half of it is to coax himself, half is to coax others. There must always be a cover for his poor career, and others will praise him for his character. However, it was not in vain that he was intoxicated, so he got on the line with the third master and became a confidant.

Now that the eighth master is hopeless, he is the son of a slut who is all in Xinku, what else can he hope for? The most qualified are undoubtedly the third master, the fourth master and the fourteenth master below. He had nothing to do on weekdays, and he thought about these things as much as he could. He has a good relationship with the third master, and if he succeeds, he will naturally be the best.

If the fourth master succeeds, Prince Yong is strict and old-fashioned, and he is not easy to approach. But he is really good to the Thirteenth Master, if his daughter can marry into the Thirteenth Master's Mansion, it is equivalent to burying a dark line. No matter how curved the line of the curve to save the country is, it can work in the end. Doesn't the grapes have to build a shelf before they want to bear fruit?

If it is the fourteenth master, this master is not in the capital all the year round, and he can't find a way to approach for a while, so he can leave it aside for the time being.

So, his daughter's idea, he is supportive. Watching the old wife's mouth open and close, she still hasn't closed it, and she can't help but have a terrible headache.

"I'll go to the study to practice calligraphy, if you can find someone better than Brother Hongyun, you can find it." Lord Shen brushed his sleeves away.

Mrs. Shen stood on the spot, of course she knew that she couldn't find a better one than Brother Hongyun, if she was a wife, she didn't say a word. But a side room, what's so rare. What's more, Zhao Jia's family has come out, so he almost didn't point to their faces and scold them with "vain thoughts", and if they continue to struggle, what good results can they have. Everyone knows about it, and if you try to find a way, you really can't get married.

As soon as Lord Shen arrived in the study, his staff touched him, secretly took out a piece of paper from his arms, his excited face lit up, and handed it to Lord Shen, "My lord, look at this?" ”

"What is this, well, good words." Lord Shen glanced at it casually, his mouth was faster than his brain, and when he finished speaking, his brain turned around and quickly received the letter closer.

"This, this, this...... This is a great crime to kill your head, what the hell do you want to do? The handwriting of this letter is exactly the same as that of the emperor, but those who are familiar with the emperor's words and sentences will definitely be able to tell that it was not written by the emperor. But imitating the emperor's handwriting, this is a big crime, Lord Shen's blood rushed to the top of his head at once, and looking at the eyes of the staff, it seemed like he was going to kill.

"Please also hold your shoulders." The staff looked down and quietly looked at the people waiting in the room.

It is true that he can't let others know anymore, Lord Shen had a gloomy face and waved back left and right.

When Lin Ruhai laid out the game, he found that the third elder brother had already fallen into the trap, and this trap was woven by Lord Shen for him.

He didn't believe that Lord Shen had the wit to come up with such an idea, and when he touched it, the people around Hongyun revealed his traces. He silently helped Hongyun wipe the traces, and anyone who followed this line in the future would never be able to catch up with Hongyun.

Lin Ruhai was angry, but also a little happy, his beard was curled, and the phrase "stinky boy" in his mouth did not come out of his mouth.

In the blink of an eye, the people sent out by the Lin family began to recycle. Daiyu's dowry is also prepared, only Jia Min is still insufficient, and she always wants to be perfect.

"It's okay, if you add it again, it will be more than the dowry that the Thirteen Fujin entered the door back then." Lin Ruhai stopped it in time.

"How can it be the same, there are six sisters in Fujin's family, and there is only one Daiyu in our family." Jia Min said so, and he knew in his heart that who called someone Daiyu's mother-in-law.

"Those ornaments should follow the furniture in advance, so as not to take up the number of lifts." Jia Min came up with a new idea.

"Yes, too." Lin Ruhai couldn't help laughing, thinking that her daughter was about to leave home, thinking about it, it was like missing a corner in her heart, and she couldn't make up for it.

On the second day of the first lunar month, the second day of the first lunar month was the day to return to his parents' house, and the Lin family's family of four took a sedan chair early in the morning. Jia Zheng welcomed Lin Ruhai to the study very warmly, and Baochai accompanied Daiyu and returned to her parents' house to welcome the spring.

Yingchun is still the same as before, Mu Mu is still wearing the clothes of the past, Baochai quietly looked around and knew that she was not doing very well. As usual, ask about your body, and then ask about your family. She only said good, but she didn't say a word about the specifics.

Daiyu also knows that Yingchun has such a temperament, she is unwilling to change, no matter who she marries, it's just like that. However, she is much more optimistic than Baochai, after all, it is better than marrying Sun Shaozu and dying at his hands.

Talking about the distant marriage of Tanchun, everyone is embarrassed.

"I don't know how she's doing now, she can't even communicate with the letter, and she can't carry some things if she wants to." Baochai has the demeanor of an eldest sister-in-law, and said with emotion.

"She's so capable, she can always think of a good life." Yingchun finally took a sentence.

Daiyu glanced at her obliquely, no matter how capable a woman is, if she falls into the hands of a group of people with bad intentions, this day is not something she can do well if she wants to live a good life. If it's the other way around, such as welcoming spring, no matter how easy the day is, you don't want to have a good time, and it's also not good.

"My sister-in-law is still holding a banquet at home, and she will take us over to play at that time." Baochai was also puzzled, why Daiyu and her sister-in-law could talk together.

"This dare is good, let her post it when the time comes, and let us see how she is open." Daiyu said that Grandma Xue really smiled. When everyone joked together, they said that Grandma Xue couldn't take care of the house, which annoyed her. said that it was no problem for him to manage a huge cottage, and it was nothing to manage a house, so he would hold a banquet immediately and let them see.

"I'll go back to my parents' house tomorrow, and I'll definitely bring the words." Baochai responded with a smile.

Looking up, I saw her peach-like delicate face, and when she smiled, her eyes were clean and clean, and there was nothing superfluous. Her heart was like grass growing in her heart, growing wildly, scratching the bottom of her heart, again and again. Some words, almost want to blurt out.

"Say hello to the second grandmother, please say hello to Miss Cousin, and say hello to my aunt." The assailant came in with a plate, she had already combed the woman's head, a pair of opal earrings, swaying, came in to say goodbye, and put down her things.

"The second master knew that Miss Cousin and Grandma were back, so he specially called the kitchen to add it, saying that Miss Cousin, well, and Auntie and Grandma love to eat." Kidney bean paste dumplings, for a while Daiyu loved glutinous food, she liked this kind of dim sum very much, even she forgot about herself, but I didn't expect that some people still remembered.

Daiyu pushed the kidney bean dumplings in front of Yingchun, "It must be what you like to eat, eat a few more pieces, otherwise you will disappoint Second Brother Bao's heart." ”

Yingchun looked at everyone hesitantly, and didn't dare to say anything, only obediently took the dumplings and ate them slowly. Baochai looked at the attacking smile and only felt extremely hateful. Baoyu has always held the maid in the palm of his hand like a baby, and the aunt who was promoted to the aunt was not counted, and received two as a room in the maid. is arrogant and arrogant, and doesn't take her as a young grandmother in his eyes at all.

Daiyu took off a gold ring, "I don't know if you have a happy event, count me as if I made up for it." "This girl has always been thoughtful, and she has not been less involved in the past, and it is also a courtesy to make up a gadget.

The attacker thanked the reward, and stood behind Baochai to set up rules, Baochai knew that Baoyu must have asked her to investigate, and the groove behind her teeth was almost bitten down by her.

With the attack, what Baochai originally wanted to say could not be exported. Otherwise, there is this ear to report that God is there, and there will be a commotion.

But what if you don't talk about it, according to the convention, before the elder brother's wedding, he has to refer to the people who serve him. In case you point to a side fortune with a good family background, it will be much more difficult than yourself. No matter how much Baoyu spoils these aunts to get through the house, in the end, they are just from maids, and a deed of sale can be brought back to their original form.

But what is Fang Fujin, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the second lady. Thinking of this, Baochai suddenly felt that she was not so uncomfortable, and the easiest thing to comfort people was indeed someone else's more unfortunate.

When Jia Zheng and Lin Ruhai met, it was another scene. Jia Zheng was full of red faces, keeping in mind the third master's explanation, and wanted to win Lin Ruhai over for him.

"The day before yesterday, I was light with the third elder brother, and when I talked about Brother Ruhai's demeanor as a Tanhualang back then, I couldn't help but sigh, how many years have I had in this flash. There were several of your peers that day, and they all said that they hadn't gotten together for a long time. I thought about it, this is also a blessing in the literary world, so I just have a certain host, and everyone can enjoy it together. Wouldn't it be nice to write poems and talk about the wind and snow. ”

Jia Zhengle thought that this move was not abrupt.

Lin Ruhai was stunned, he was not surprised by Jia Zheng's attitude, this second uncle is a person who sells his reputation and reputation, and it is not surprising that he will deed with the third elder brother. Unexpectedly, the third elder brother's movements were very fast, and the eighth elder brother had only been down for a long time, and he pulled Jia Zheng into his camp without making a sound.

Lin Ruhai arched his hand, "It's been many years ago to compose poems and write lyrics, it's really ashamed to think about it, at this time, when I mention the pen, it is a fold and a strip, and I don't know how to write the poem." People are old, and they can't accept it. ”

"Brother Hai is polite, Tanhualang back then, what a style it was, I still remember when I married Min'er, a hypnotic poem, wonderful, wonderful." said that he was talking about the poem, and forced Lin Ruhai to discuss the poem with him, and finally mysteriously took out a scroll of paintings.

"It's the third elder brother's new work, look at this poem, it's really not appropriate." Jia Zheng unfolded enthusiastically and spread it in front of Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai couldn't help nodding, more than a dozen princes of the emperor really don't have straw bales, and all of them have real materials that can be used.

With his critical eye, he has to admit that this painting and this poem are rare masterpieces. It's just that he is no longer Lin Ruhai when he was studying hard in the cold window, and he will not start to make up for the author's noble conduct just by relying on a painting, and it is impossible to assist him because he has literary talent. Jia Zheng has always been idle, has not been tempered by the world, and has a trace of sour and rotten literati innocence.

Moreover, Lin Ruhai was still a little worried, the third elder brother had obviously fallen into the trap, and his second uncle would not follow suit.

"The emperor doesn't like the elder brothers to get too close to the courtiers, so it's better for the second uncle to avoid suspicion." I still have to remind him, but if he doesn't listen, he can only resign himself to fate. Lin Ruhai is also funny when he thinks about it, how do the people of the Jia family have long brains, they choose the wrong choice once and the wrong choice twice. Every time, I avoid the luck of the correct answer, what kind of treasure do you bet on, can't you stay at home?

Of course not, Jia Zheng waved his arm angrily, "The third elder brother and I are confidants, how can ordinary people understand." Besides, we taste books, paintings, tea, and poetry, and never involve government affairs. ”

That's because you can't involve it if you want to, I really don't want to involve it, what are you looking for me to do, Lin Ruhai silently complained in his heart, but on the surface, he confessed his mistake, "Second uncle, don't be annoyed, my brother spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, don't blame it." ”

Well, when Jia Zheng came to his senses, he remembered what his purpose was, how he was taken off topic, and it was already difficult to turn back.

The attacker went back to tell Sù Baoyu, but Miss Biao didn't eat a mouthful of dumplings, and pushed them all to Yingchun to eat. Baoyu's expression darkened, and she didn't know what it was like in her heart. The attacker followed and said, "I heard that Grandma Xue is going to hold a banquet after the fifteenth year, and Miss Biao said that she will definitely go." ”

Baoyu's eyes lit up, "I'll ask my eldest brother to post it for me." ”

"Miss Cousin's outings are getting better and better, the deerskin boots she is wearing today are embroidered with a ball of Qionghua on the side, one by one, and then she takes the pearl and inlays the stamens, which is very beautiful, and the slave will embroider a pair of such for the second grandmother another day. Alas, look at the slave's mouth, it's getting late, the slave will send you back to the room. The assailant stood up and went to help him diligently.

"Since it's getting late, let's rest here today. How tired it is to embroider shoes, embroider a handkerchief for me, just use this pattern. As she spoke, Baoyu put her arms around her soft waist.

Daiyu didn't know that the upper of her shoes was remembered, one of her feet was soaked in a bucket, and she was holding a post from Grandma Xue in her hand, laughing while watching. Acacia has begun to learn to recognize words, from the initial big word, slowly shrunk into a big one, now, finally able to squeeze a line of words on a sticker, it is not easy.

Ulan Gege's post was placed in front of Grandma Xue, inviting her to go out to see the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Grandma Xue's post is the sixteenth day of the first month, and I invited everyone to see the green chrysanthemum, and I heard that it was a new variety that had been cultivated with great effort, and it had been kept in the greenhouse, and the post was placed only after calculating the flowering time.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Fan family sent the newly made lanterns over early, and invited them to see the lanterns placed in front of Fan's house. Listening to the arrogant talk of the slave who sent the post, Daiyu couldn't help but ask her what a novel method.

"It's as tall as a two-story building, and it's a mountain and river when it turns around, which is the idea that our young master came up with." The Fan family has moved to Jinling, and a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses have already married and had children, and the old Fan Tou, who knelt in front of Lin Ruhai to ask for help, is already full of children and grandchildren, and he has long been concerned about the outside affairs, and he is bent on teasing his grandson and enjoying the joy of family.

"It's so rare, it's really going to be seen." Jia Min was moved when he heard this, and when he turned around, he went to Yanglin Ruhai to see the lanterns.

"It's rare for our family of four to go out together, and when Daiyu goes out, it's even more impossible." Jia Min always knows the weakness of the old man best.

"Bring more people, don't let people rush into them." Sure enough, as long as this sentence was spoken, Lin Ruhai readily agreed.

Ulan Gege and Brother Hongyun rushed over with all the people, and they reconciled with the people of the Lin family, and then went to the street where the Fan family was located.

Today's lanterns, like a giant dragon, are spread from the end of the street to the street, winding up and lighting up the brilliant lights along the way. Most people enter from the end of the street, walk slowly to the street, and then divert to several other roads to go home. You can't sit in a sedan chair or ride a horse on this street, and you can only walk on foot.

The rich and noble people have already booked a private room, walked a few steps to the restaurant, sat on it and looked at the lamp, and sent someone to buy it if they liked it, which was relaxed and comfortable.

The Lin family also decided to do so, first go to the front of the Fan family's shop to see the lanterns on their second floor, and then go to the restaurant opposite to rest.

Daiyu was carrying a magnolia-shaped lantern in her hand and walked with everyone. Jingyu couldn't stand Ulan Gege's staring at his lantern, and stuffed it into her hand, "I'll send you." ”

"Thank you, Brother Lin." Ulan Gege grinned and took the lantern with both hands, looking satisfied.

Although there are many people on the street, the guards of the Lin family and the guards on the Hongyun Mansion form a circle, firmly protecting several masters in the circle, accompanied by maids and women, although they are in the downtown area, there is no discomfort of crowding around with people they don't know.

Far away, I saw the two-story lantern of the Fan family, and it really lived up to its name, the lantern was bright, the marquee was really slow and turning, and a pair of paintings was like coming to life, all of which were different styles in various places.

Farmers working in the fields, bending down to plant seedlings and raising their heads in one go. The girl who picks the tea throws the tip into the basket, and the tea is fried with both hands as if she is in the scene. Silk farmers who raise silkworms, weaver girls who spin yarn, merchants who sail boats, darts who ride horses, camel caravans in the desert, and traders who sell furs in the snow. Fishermen and seafarers who fish at sea and go to the sea to fish for pearls, and so on.

"The Fan family is also a successor." Lin Ruhai stroked his beard and smiled.

"Yes, indeed." Hongyun replied, and Weng and his son-in-law looked at each other and smiled.

After they walked a few steps, they realized that something was wrong, how could this lantern get farther and farther away, far away, the lantern seemed to be running with long legs.

"It was the emperor who heard about the Fan family's lanterns and sent someone over, saying that he would pull them to the street and put them together with the royal lanterns." Hongyun ordered someone to inquire and came back to report.

"It's good now, if you want to see it, you're going to walk a street." Jia Min smiled bitterly, in the end, she was old, and under the pampering, she really asked her to walk a street, but it was a little choking.

Lin Ruhai pondered for a moment, and then said: "I will accompany your mother to the restaurant to rest for a while, this lamp is the same thing when you look at it from a distance." You young people, if you want to go shopping, you can go shopping again, and we will walk slowly after we have rested. I'll leave their safety to you, how? ”

The last sentence was said to Hongyun, and Hongyun hurriedly clenched his fists, "The little nephew must protect them well." ”

So half of the Lin family's guards came out and followed Lin Ruhai and Jia Min. The two of them went up to the restaurant, sat leisurely at the window and looked at the lanterns below, so happy.

There were only four of them left, Hongyun had no scruples, and naturally walked up to Daiyu's left and right, answering diligently from time to time, or ordering people to buy something. Wulan rolled his eyes at his brother, followed Jing Yu's side, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "My brother can't see me anymore, you have to protect my safety." ”

"Don't worry, Gege, I will definitely be optimistic about you." Jing Yu couldn't help but smile, retaining the impression of the thirteenth master in Zài's mind and the little girl in front of him, which was an unexpected fit.

"I'm just looking at it, there's no need to buy them all." Daiyu looked at the maid's subordinates carrying it in their hands and on their shoulders, and glanced at Hongyun with a smile and a smile.

"I bought it all nowhere, it's easy to go on the street once, and I always have to have fun." Hongyun smiled, but he refused to stop, he pointed with his hand, someone will go up to buy something.

"I asked people to set up a seat in the Xianyun Building on the street, and when I looked in that direction, I could see all the street scenes. And next to it is the Royal Lantern Festival, which is more careful than standing on the sidelines. If we drag the marquee on the second floor, we look upstairs as if we are close to the eyes, and it is perfect for viewing the lights. ”

"I don't know if my father and mother will come in a while." Daiyu has some regrets, but she is soft-footed, and she is really not optimistic when she thinks about their age.

"I've asked people to come over and see if they can come."

The person who went to invite turned around, saying that Lin Ruhai and his wife were going back to the house, and they would trouble Brother Hongyun to send their sister and brother back in a while.

Daiyu couldn't help but regret it, so Hongyun asked people to send all the lanterns he bought all the way to the Lin family to light them.

The private room of Xianyun Building was set out early in the morning, and it was definitely impossible to locate it at this time. Someone wanted to smash out of the room with silver, and the guys seemed to laugh, "The guest officer has the guts, how much silver is he going to give, and which brother will let it out." ”

One sentence scared people away, and he was chased behind and said, "At first glance, it's a foreigner, figure out what kind of realm this is before talking." ”

The lanterns of the Fan family were indeed placed in the middle of the royal lantern exhibition, and they sat in the private room and saw it clearly.

"Isn't that the young owner of the Fan family?" Jing Yu's eyes were sharp, and he pointed down, and sent someone to ask.

After a while, Fan Xinling stepped forward to pay a visit, bowed in a group, wiped the sweat on his face, thanked Jingyu for his invitation and sat down and said: "I said that I was asked to wait for the emperor to meet me, but it turned out that the emperor had returned to the palace in advance, and I didn't know what to do with this lantern for a while, so I had to guard it here first." ”

In fact, he asked, how could anyone pay attention to him, just left him outside and waited, Hongyun understood when he heard it, and ordered his own little guy to go.

After a while, he came back and said: "The emperor didn't speak, and the Internal Affairs Office didn't know what to do, so it was estimated that he would bring it back first." ”

"Thank you Brother Hongyun, thank you Young Master Jingyu, I'll leave first." Fan Xinling got the right words, so she could go down and make arrangements, and walked out after a long time.

"Why are there so many servants out there?" Ulan and Jingyu are both people who stare down, and it is easy to find the problem.

Only Hongyun and Daiyu paid attention to each other, and they didn't notice the abnormality on the street at all.

"There are too many people, let's come out on patrol." Daiyu disagreed.

"No, these people are not on patrol." Hongyun squinted at their clothes and began to shake his head.

Lin Ruhai went home halfway, and the emperor returned to the palace halfway, and suddenly there were so many patrolling errands on the street. Hongyun said slowly: "It's getting late, but let's send you home first." ”

Even Ulan sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere and didn't say a word of complaint. Sure enough, a net was pulled up on the street, and everyone had to be checked when they entered and exited, and Hongyun took out his waist card to take them out. got into a sedan chair and escorted them back to Lin's house.

Daiyu sat alone in the sedan chair, looking at the shadows on the bottom of her sedan chair with fascination. A lantern in the corner, reflecting his own figure in the sedan chair was pulled into a strange shadow, and the rain-like golden steps were imprinted on the sedan wall, really like rain, the rain was slanting and rustling.

Hongyun outside the sedan chair led the horse and walked next to Daiyu's sedan chair. walked all the way to a secluded place, and there were no fellow travelers beside her, Daiyu gently lifted the sedan curtain and smiled at Hongyun.

Hongyun hurriedly leaned over, "Do you want to drink water?" ”

"No, I feel like I heard something behind me, so ask." Daiyu held Hongyun's hand on the sedan window as she spoke, shook her head lightly at Hongyun, and gently swiped one hand in his palm.

Happiness comes too fast, like a tornado, and he loses the ability to think. When he reacted, he realized that the strokes on his palm were connected by four words, "There is someone at the bottom of the sedan chair." ”
