Chapter 15: Xiao Cheng
Lin Yan had a dream that night, this dream was not too good, and she woke up in a bad mood. As a result, when I got up, I saw that the two koi fish raised in the big tank in front of the yard had bitten the roots of the water lilies she raised as fish grass, and the water lilies floating on the water became half-dead, and then the mood was even worse.
Lin Yan sighed and instructed Mu Zhi: "Change these two koi fish into a water tank, and then find a florist who can raise flowers and ask if these water lilies can still be fed." ”
The koi in the water tank is put by Youyu, when she first returned home, she felt that the yard had not lived for a long time, and she was a little angry, so she asked someone to ask for two water lilies to raise in the water tank, and then Youyu saw that it was not good to say that there were no flowers and no fish, so she put two koi into it, and the result was ······ She should have thought of it a long time ago.
After Lin Yan finished speaking, she took Mulan and prepared to go to Funing Hall to greet Li and Mrs. Zhuang.
As a result, as soon as she walked to the corridor in front of Funing Hall, she looked at the hem of her cyan clothes hanging from the tree above the corridor, and then a cyan figure jumped down lightly and neatly.
The young man in the azure brocade dress stood sideways in front of them, raised the corner of his eye to look at her, and then stretched out a finger, and said angrily: "I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you want to pass by, the lady stays······"
Lin Yan glanced at him with a bored look, then walked over, pulled out the saber he was wearing, and struck him directly on the leg.
The young man hurriedly avoided "ouch ouch" sideways, and shouted while avoiding it: "Hey, don't fight." ”
Lin Yan threw the sword back into his hand and snorted, "I think it's almost the same to keep you, stinky boy." ”
The young man put the sword back on his body and said, "Cousin, you are becoming more and more unladylike, and the barbarian folk customs of the northwest have defiled you. ”
Lin Yan glanced at him and asked, "Why did you come here so early, auntie?" ”
That's right, this young man is Lin Yan's eldest aunt - Lin Eun's youngest son, Xiao Cheng, the youngest son of Qinghe Palace.
Although Xiao Cheng is not an old man, Lin Eun was already nearly thirty-five years old when he gave birth to this little ancestor, and he was the youngest son in the family, Qinghe Wang and his wife have always been quite indulgent and spoiled on him, and the brother of his compatriots is far away from him, and he is also half father and half son to take care of him, so that he is now a little lawless.
When Lin Cheng was a child, she had a very good relationship with this cousin who was only born three days earlier than herself, and because Xiao Cheng has always been lively and lively, Lin Cheng is more like taking care of him as a cousin.
Xiao Cheng patted his clothes and replied to Lin Yan's words: "I'm talking to my grandmother and your grandmother." ”
Lin Yan said: "Then I want to go to your mother and grandmother to say goodbye, do you want to go with me?" ”
Xiao Cheng said: "Go, why don't you go." ”
Saying that he thought of something, he jumped over unexpectedly, hugged Lin Yan's neck, and said with a very flattering smile: "Yuan Yuan." ”
Xiao Cheng is tall, Lin Yan's height is not short among women, but it is only to the tip of his ear, Lin Yan was caught off guard by him, and the tip of his nose hit his shoulder, almost knocking his nose off.
Lin Yan pushed him hard, and when she saw that she couldn't push him, she directly put a punch on his chest, and then said: "Hurry up and let go of me, men and women are seven years old, do you know how to avoid suspicion?" ”
Xiao Cheng didn't care and said: "We are cousins and sisters, what are we afraid of, besides, where are we the kind of people who abide by these pedantic rules." As he spoke, he squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Yan with a smile and said, "Yuan Yuan, you used to be very close to that Sanniang of the Qi family, right?" ”
Lin Yan asked him in surprise: "You mean Chu Chu?" ”
Xiao Cheng said: "It seems to be called this name." ”
Lin Yan said: "What did you ask her to do?" He looked at him with suspicion, and then asked, "What bad idea do you have again?" ”
Xiao Cheng suddenly blushed, and said to him a little left: "I don't have any bad ideas, but the last time my sister's family held an autumn banquet, I accidentally bumped into her in the back garden, and she beat me up as a bad person, I ······ Oh, you don't care what you do, you just have to talk about how you have a relationship with her. As he spoke, the roots of his ears turned even redder.
Lin Yan began to listen to his words, and thought that he was unwilling to be beaten by someone, and wanted to retaliate back as usual, but when he looked at his face again, he realized that someone had been beaten to the point that his head was opened, and even his love sinus was opened.
It's just that Xiao Cheng's family affairs are not something she can interfere in, not to mention that the Qi family of the Marquis of Yongxing is still the mother's family of the emperor's biological mother, and it is not a simple matter for the two families to be involved.
She didn't break Xiao Cheng, and pretended to gossip: "Where do I have a good relationship with her, but I played together when I was young when I was a child at the Spring Festival banquet in another house, she borrowed me a skirt and I gave her a pair of chess pieces, if this is called a good relationship, then I don't have good friends all over the capital." Think about it again, has she ever come to see me since I was sick for so long after I returned to Beijing? We are just acquaintances. ”
Xiao Cheng didn't believe it: "I don't think she necessarily wants to come to see you, I'm afraid it's because of family reasons." Otherwise, why don't you go back to the capital to celebrate, I think you might as well have a tea party or something, invite some noble daughters in the capital, and invite her by the way. Such a good friendship when I was a child, what a pity it is to break it now, just take this opportunity to communicate more. ”
The Qi family of the Marquis of Yongxing was originally an ordinary and even somewhat corrupt family of lords, but because of the confession of a concubine Qi Xian, Concubine Qi Xian gave birth to a good son and became the emperor, and only after the emperor ascended the throne did he slowly become noble. But because Wu Guifei's biological mother, Duchess Xuanguo, is also from the Qi family and is cousins with Concubine Qi Xian, so the Qi family has always taken the golden mean in the struggle between the Lin family and the Wu family in the middle palace, and adopted an attitude of not participating in either side.
When Lin Yan was young, she was better with Qi Sanniang or could only be said to be a child's relationship, but it was not so simple as she grew older, especially the fact that the Lin family wanted her to enter the palace, and the Qi family could not know anything about it, and at this time, the Qi family would not let the girls in the family come up with her.
Lin Yan knew this kind of truth, and it was impossible for Xiao Cheng to think about it clearly. But I was probably spoiled since I was a child, and I had to do what I wanted to do, regardless of whether it would lead to any consequences. But Lin Yan can't act without scruples like him.
Seeing that Funingtang was in front of her, Lin Yan turned her head and glanced at Xiao Cheng, gave him a look of "don't think I don't know what your idea is", and said, "I see that you know her better than me, you are more familiar with her, why don't you have a tea party and invite her to come." After speaking, he ignored him and went directly into Funing Hall.
