Xianglan puffed out her cheeks: "I haven't written to you for a few days, I just want to tell you in person, the uncle should pretend not to know about this, and when I sue you, you can be happy again!" ”

"Silly girl, how can you pretend to be like this?"

Xianglan wrung her hands hard, her face flushed: "Uncle, you are always like this, burning the qin and cooking cranes to spoil the scenery, you can't even coax me once, and follow my wishes." ”

"Aren't you wronged, why didn't I coax you."

"Coax me to let me do what you want."

Lin Jinlou touched his nose weakly: "Who said that?" Yes? Besides, the two of us have something to share with each other, so don't we all have the same intentions? Besides, if you know about it, you will know it, and it's not a bad thing, so why hide it? ”

Originally, this matter was nothing, but Lin Jinlou's attitude didn't make people angry, Xianglan couldn't help but be angry, Xiucai couldn't explain it when she met Bing, so she turned her face and ignored him. Lin Jinlou hurriedly took her in his arms and said, "I was so happy that I didn't care about it." I only had a child in my thirties, can I not be happy in my heart, I didn't want this stubble, it was really like God dropping a big pie 'let' on my head. ”

When Xianglan heard him say this, her heart softened. Still with her back to him, her eyes slipped back, and she was making eye contact with him, Lin Jinlou squeezed her eyes at her, and Xianglan snorted and twisted her face again. Lin Jinlou said with a smile: "Don't be angry, it's such a good day today, come, eat some vegetables first, don't starve my son and his son." One line said, one line picked up chopsticks, diligently picked up Xianglan's favorite dishes and put them into a small plate, and fed them.

Xianglan stared at him with clear eyes, seeing that his beautiful appearance was a little naïve, how could there be a little majesty of the killing decision in the past, she wanted to laugh, and her heart was a little sour, she couldn't help but open her mouth and eat the chopsticks dish.

Lin Jinlou sandwiched other dishes for her, Xianglan originally wanted to say that I came by myself, but I didn't want to move, so I looked at him quietly, ate all kinds of dishes he fed to herself, listened to him shush in his mouth, and saw him smile like a silly boy, and his heart was quiet and peaceful, so content and relieved, as if she had had it in the past, carefully recall, she was in the same place with Xiao Hang in her previous life, and she was also in this mood when she was with Song Ke in this life. That short and beautiful moment was the straw she desperately grasped in the predicament, she never thought that such a taste of happiness would be on Lin Jinlou, not as trembling as before, tasting and stopping, but quiet and peaceful, all poured out.

It was an early autumn afternoon, Xianglan looked out the window, and saw that the clouds were like dry bones, thin and white, the sky was lonely, and the breeze was blowing, blowing her loose sideburns. Cut the autumn pavilion around the pond water is green and clear, half of the pond lotus leaves are covered, the hibiscus is inserted all over, the strange rocks on the shore are craggy, all the famous flowers are planted, it is the time of opening, rotten as a brocade screen, a flower is not grateful, a flower blooms again, it is rich and colorful. It's another year, things are not people, how many changes, the first turning point of her fate in the Lin Mansion was a banquet in this water pavilion, Cao Lihuan stole the peach juice, and she reported it to Qin's henchmen. The world is impermanent, she never imagined that one day she would sit here in such a splendid dress, never imagined.

Lin Jinlou fed Xianglan once, until Xianglan shook her head and stopped eating, and half-coaxed and half-ordered her to eat a bowl of porridge, before picking up chopsticks and gobbling it up by herself. At that moment, Xiaojuan and the painting fan removed the remnants of the table, put new fruit cakes up, made hot tea, and put on a jade-colored double happiness for Xianglan and secretly weaved a gold jacket.

The two of them said something indecent in the water pavilion without a word, intermittently talking about the situation at home in the past few days, congratulating people, and saying that Lin Dongxiu had sent a letter. Lin Dongxiu gave birth to a daughter in October, although she was disappointed, she also loved to spoil her children, wrote about her daily trivialities with Xianglan, and mentioned Jiang Xiyun at the end of the letter.

That Jiang Xiyun did have a few steps of good luck, when she filled the house and married into the wang family, but the family was crowded, and there was no one who was good to get along with from top to bottom, the husband and concubine, and the children were left in the front room, and her mother-in-law had heard the rumors and was not happy with her, but her son was willing, so she had to agree. However, she was still unhappy, so she stuffed two charming concubines into her son's room in her newlywed. Jiang Xiyun has a sweet mouth, acts hard, spins up and down, left and right, pretends to be stupid, suppresses and excludes, has clever means, calculates everything, is under control, never suffers losses on her lips and hands, and is favored by her husband, intriguing with her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and concubine, and everything is stable and strong, and she has a firm foothold in the house. Just like this, there is no enemy, two months ago she took the carriage back to her mother's house, I don't know who quietly made someone put wheat grains in the horse's ear, the horse itching unbearable, galloping manic, threw her off the carriage, slipped on the spot, the doctor said that this encounter is dangerous, it is not easy to save her life, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to have an heir in the future.

Xianglan paused, and sighed: "Sister Xiu'er finally wrote, 'From this, we can see that Skynet is restored and not leaked, and the cycle of karma is not happy', which is what I want to say." ”

Lin Jinlou touched Xianglan's face, let her lean into his arms, and said: "The road under her feet is all walked by herself, and she is too concerned about herself in the world, no wonder this is the case." ”

The two of them were silent for a long time, only listening to the rattle of the iron kettle on the small red clay stove.

Lin Jinlou played with the bracelet on Xianglan's wrist and said: "At the end of the year, the second brother will marry again, don't forget to send someone to send it when the backup gift comes." ”

Xianglan was stunned: "Second Master Xuan remarries?" Who to marry? ”

Lin Jinlou said: "I just booked it, it was an old friend's daughter, and then my father died and my mother married, the family was defeated, I tossed and was poor, and I took refuge with relatives. The old lady personally looked at the girl and decided, tsk, the second brother is a person who likes to be merry like the Tan family, and I don't know if he is honest or not. ”

Since that incident, Lin Jinxuan has been seriously ill, his body is sometimes good and sometimes bad, and it is easy to get better, but the whole person is depressed, others are okay, Mrs. Lin can't help but sigh day and night, but Lin Jinlou smiled and said: "Second brother, I know how to treat this disease, and it will be good to take a beautiful concubine." Xianglan couldn't help but glance at him, but Lin Jinlou squeezed her eyes. Mrs. Lin was serious, and when she saw that there was nothing to worry about in the maid's heap in the house, she bought a stunning one from outside with silver and placed it in Lin Jinxuan's room. Within a few days, Lin Jinxuan was in good spirits, using an extra bowl of rice, and a few days later, Xianglan heard from the maids that Lin Jinxuan had gently and thoughtfully held the pen and disciplined her to write. There was originally a portrait painted by Xianglan to Tan Luhua in the bedroom, Lin Jinxuan had to face each other every day, weeping and remembering, but now he has quietly withdrawn it, and I don't know where to put it.

Xianglan just sighed, thinking that the relationship between ordinary men and women is like this in the end, infatuation and desolation are rare in the world, so once it appears, it is a good story for the ages. Whether the love is strong or infatuated, most of them are unbearable to the time and years, the newcomer smiles like a flower, and the old man only gradually fades into a shadow, and in the end there is only a little ripple left, gradually rippling and disappearing, and the days will always go on.

Xianglan sighed slightly and said, "Tan Luhua is still locked up in the temple, and in another year or two, if she is willing, she will let her find an ordinary family to marry." ”

Lin Jinlou sandwiched a piece of hibiscus cake and put it in a small dish and pushed it in front of Xianglan, and said, "Are you still worried about her?" People are more attentive than you, the old nun in the nunnery is gradually not very strict, she has already cleaned up the grease and powder, and followed the scholar who stayed in the nunnery, but now she doesn't dare, the old lady's meaning, after another three or five years, she will let her go, but now it is not good. Looking up at Xianglan's stunned appearance, like a porcelain doll, so cute, she couldn't help but want to laugh, and smacked the tip of her nose, "You are the stupidest in the world." ”

Xianglan slapped Lin Jinlou's hand away and glanced at him: "This is great wisdom and foolishness, simplifying the complex." ”

Lin Jinlou sneered and couldn't help but kiss her on the face, Xianglan saw that he was smiling hatefully and proudly, and when she saw that there was no one around, she couldn't help but hug his neck and kiss him on the face. Lin Jinlou was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Ahhh ”

Xianglan blushed, let go of her hand, and pretended not to hear. Lin Jinlou wanted to tease her when he saw her shy answer, but then he thought that it was not good to really annoy Xianglan, in case he would not kiss himself in the future, so he held back, only smiled and grinned and gave her another dish, and said: "My son is going to give birth to me, and my face is still so small, do I still remember what I said to you at night before I left this time?" ”

Xianglan's face turned even redder, glared at him, and couldn't help asking, "What if I give birth to a daughter?" ”

Lin Jinlou said happily: "Whether it's a daughter, I love everything you give birth to, give birth to a son so that you can explain to the elders, so you don't have to go back and read the three tones." ”

Xianglan also smiled on her face, and only then did she let go, ate half a cake, and remembered something: "The lord wrote a letter two days ago, saying that the temples in the Midyear Festival do water and land pujas, and let the government pay the silver to make merit for the ancestors and the deceased, and the silver has been paid on the account, but I see that there is still the name of the third girl on the super recommendation list, could it be that she is really dead?" When I went out a few days ago, I saw a woman in an apricot yellow shirt and an ochre skirt walking over on the street, and her back was the same as that of the three girls, but unfortunately it was not her. ”

Lin Dong Aya's letter is slim, some people say that they have seen her in Qingxian County, a peasant woman dressed up and sitting on a bus to the market, or some say that she has seen her sitting in front of the railing with heavy makeup in Yangzhou Qinglou Lane, or some say that she is a goddaughter in Baoding, or that she became a daughter-in-law in a family on the outskirts of Beijing, and so on, the Lin family sent people to see it one by one, but it was not. Lin Dongya is selfish and willful, and she still holds human life in her hands, and she was finally spoiled by the Wang family, Xianglan has no good impression of her, but now she can't help but pity her.

Lin Jinlou looked up at the sky, with a contemplative look on his face. Since Lin Dongya ran away, the Lin family secretly sent people to find it, and on the tenth day of the loss, the Jiucheng Soldiers and Horses Division sent someone to report, saying that a young woman's corpse was hooked out of the grass swing in the north moat, and the autopsy said that the woman was raped first and then killed. Lin Jinlou went to identify it in person, only to see that it was so rotten that he couldn't see his face clearly, because half of his body was soaked in water, he couldn't distinguish his body, and his clothes had already been torn, but the color was somewhat similar to what Lin Dongya was wearing when he lost it. Lin Jinlou didn't dare to decide, he still took the corpse away, ordered a hole and buried it, but didn't say anything when he went home, fearing that the Wang family knew that there was a good thing, so he buried it in his heart.
