Lin Jinlou sent Xianglan back to the east chamber, the thrush had already left, Qinglan was taking a nap in the room, and when she heard that Lin Jinlou was coming, she hurriedly let Chunling come out. Lin Jinlou didn't glance at Qinglan, and only pointed at Xianglan and said to the maids: "She hasn't eaten at noon, and she will come over with some food later, and you can make a soup that she likes to drink on weekdays." ”

Qinglan's face was white again, and Chunling hurriedly helped her up. Xianglan raised her eyelids and saw everyone standing in the room for a while, everyone's expressions were shocked and complicated, she didn't bother to care what others thought, she just hung her head and didn't make a sound.

Lin Jinlou turned around, pinched Xianglan's cheek and said, "You stay for two days first, and the master has his own arrangements." After speaking, he walked out, and saw Qinglan standing at the door, so he stopped and said: "You take good care of your body, if you lack anything, tell the big * milk, the big * milk should not come to me." It's okay, don't always trouble my wife, if it's hot today, my wife is not good, she is tired, but it is my unfilial piety as a son. ”

Xianglan heard it clearly, Lin Jinlou's words were clearly annoyed that Qinglan was causing trouble, and he actually implicated the Qin family, saying that he was "unfilial", but he buttoned this big hat on Qinglan's head.

Qinglan was full of grievances but didn't dare to say it, she was slightly blessed, and whispered, "I know." ”

Lin Jinlou pointed at Xianglan again and said, "This girl is weak, don't arrange her work anymore." With that, he lifted the curtain and left.

There was silence in the room. Xianglan silently turned around and went back to the room, burying her face in the quilt. Not long after, Shu Ran personally brought a red lacquer food box over, which contained a few delicate side dishes and a bowl of jade rice, and asked for warmth.

It didn't take long for the Lin Mansion to spread all over the world, and the uncle fell in love with the new girl, and the pandan of the Zhichun Pavilion climbed the high branches and was about to soar.

Coincidentally, Lin Jinlou received an order from Shangfeng that night, and the neighboring provinces made a rebellion, and ordered Lin Jinlou to lead troops to suppress the bandits. So Lin Jinlou returned to the barracks overnight. Xianglan was relieved when she heard this.

The next day, the Chiharukan was still quiet. Zhao Yuechan knelt in the ancestral hall for a long time, and then went to Qin's room to beat her chest and cry; Qinglan also copied "The Female Rule" ten times, and came back from the main room of the Qin family, Wu's mother sat in Qinglan's room for a long time, and the two of them chattered and didn't know what to say, when they came out, Qinglan's eyes were a little red, but her complexion was better. This matter was gently uncovered without pain.

Only Xianglan has become subtle in the eyes of everyone, everyone respects her, and even Xiaojuan talks to her a lot more regularly. Xianglan sat on the bed in a daze all day long, she wanted to find Song Ke again, but when she heard what Lin Jinlou said that day, as if she didn't care about the Song family, she retreated again. She knew the foundation of the Lin family, and she was afraid that Song Ke would be affected because of this. She hesitated back and forth, gritted her teeth and thought: "If Lin Jinlou comes again, I will force him to die, if he is not hard-hearted, he should give people a way to live...... Ask the Bodhisattva to bless me and let me get out of this fire pit as soon as possible. ”

After praying silently, he found a few half-old booklets, repasted an indigo cover, and went to the pavilion in the garden alone to copy Buddhist scriptures and meditate with pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things. First, she knew that she should not mess with herself, and she copied the scriptures to meditate; Second, it can be regarded as praying for a blessing for his future future.

And so it went on for a few days. On this day, Xianglan made a pot of tea, still took the stationery, accompanied by the singing of birds and flowers in the garden, slowly copied it, and wiped the fine beads of sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief. Xianglan suddenly realized that summer had arrived, and the fragrance of spring had long been gone, and now it was a vein of greenery.

She took a look at the scenery, and felt a little happier in her heart, and saw Chunling helping Qinglan to come from not far away. Xianglan knew that Qinglan responded to her in her heart, so she hurriedly packed up her pen and ink to avoid it.

Who would have thought that Qinglan would come up to her, and smiled at Xianglan: "I said that I just saw someone here from a distance, it turned out to be you." ”

Xianglan was stunned, and secretly said in her heart: "Aunt Lan has been ignoring me all day long, why did she change her sex today?" Then he smiled and said, "Seeing that the scenery here is good, I came here to copy the scriptures." ”

Qinglan stretched out her hand and took the booklet in her hand and flipped through it, only to see that it was actually a flying and free book, with a magnificent font, which did not look like a girl's writing, and couldn't help but be surprised: "You have written a good hand!" ”

Xianglan hurriedly went to get the booklet, and said, "Scribble, don't stain your aunt's eyes." ”

Qinglan pulled the booklet back again, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, I also want to copy the scriptures recently to accumulate virtue for the children in my belly. "The drunkard didn't mean to drink, he said that he was borrowing scriptures, but in fact he wanted to find a way to round things on his face.

It turned out that Mother Wu persuaded Qinglan: "If it weren't for the filial piety of Mrs. Zeng, my aunt's body is so heavy, and the uncle should have added someone to her side a long time ago." If there is no pandan, there will be others, why should my aunt and grandmother bother with this? Now the big * grandmother is making a virtuous and generous appearance, no matter how awkward the aunt is, it is too unseemly, if someone is following the tongue chewing, it is not a joke to annoy the uncle. Auntie and grandmother should also learn to be thrush and smile to welcome people, Xianglan originally served you, but it was not beautiful to make a feud at the end. Although Qinglan was aggrieved in her heart, but after listening to these words, the pimple in her heart has faded a little in the past few days, and when she met Xianglan, she took the initiative to get along.

Xianglan had to agree, and took a copy of the scriptures she had copied and handed it to Qinglan.

At this time, Chunling stepped forward and said, "Grandma, it seems that the wind is blowing, and the sky is going to change, let's go back and talk again." ”

Qinglan looked up, and saw a few dark clouds floating in the sky, afraid that it would rain, so she nodded, handed the booklet to Chunling, and asked her to help her go back. Xianglan carefully put the remaining Buddhist scripture book into a bag, put away the tea bowl and stationery, poured the remaining tea in the teapot into the flower garden, carried the bag and teapot in one hand, held a few Buddhist scriptures in the other, and held a half-old silver and red money python cushion under her arm, and hurriedly caught up with Qinglan's master and servant.

Who wants to be on the path in the garden, a person hurriedly ran over from the front, Chunling couldn't dodge, the two of them bumped into each other, Chunling "ah", afraid of touching Qinglan, so he poured his body to Xianglan, and the book in his hand fell to the ground. The soles of Xianglan's feet slipped, and both of them fell to the ground. Xianglan was busy protecting the teapot with her hand for fear of breaking it, and the Buddhist scriptures in her other hand and the mattress under her arm crackled. The man also fell to the ground with an "ouch", and the book he was holding in his hand also fell, and he got up and glared at Chunling and said, "What about death, running so fast, is it possible to go back to the funeral in a hurry?" After speaking, he lowered his head, grabbed the two dropped books, got up and ran forward.

Xianglan saw that the person she bumped into was the maid of the big house, Yingshuang, and couldn't help but sigh secretly. Chunling got up with a bone, pointed to Yingshuang's back and scolded: "Little cheap hoof, if you hit your aunt and grandmother, see if you still have your life!" Then he said indignantly: "I want to sue Mrs. Sù for this!" ”

Qinglan hurriedly persuaded: "Okay, okay, don't be angry with the big * grandmother, hurry up and pack up your things and go home." ”

Chunling muttered as she cleaned up the books on the ground.

There was no sign between the main room and the favored concubine, Xianglan naturally didn't talk much, and silently cleaned up and went back to the room with Qinglan, not mentioning it for the time being.

Let's say that Qinglan returned to the east chamber, and Chunling placed the teapot and stationery one by one. Qinglan was crooked on the bed drinking tea, and said, "Bring that scripture to me." ”

Chunling said: "Grandma, do you really want to copy this Laoshizi's things?" ”

Qinglan sighed and said, "If you copy a few strokes, you should relieve your boredom, my suffering can only be understood by a bodhisattva now." I took the booklet in my hand and looked through it, and when I opened it, I found that it was not a Buddhist scripture copied by Xianglan, which said "money", "money", "interest", and there were words such as "one thousand two" and "three hundred two", and I was stunned, and I hurriedly covered the book and asked Chunling: "This is not the book of scriptures of Xianglan, is it a mistake?" ”

Chunling took the booklet and flipped it over, but she couldn't read and write, and she couldn't see any tricks, so she still handed the booklet to Qinglan and said: "I ran into Yingshuang just now, the three of us fell, and all the things in our hands fell off, I remember that Yingshuang was holding these two indigo booklets in her hand, it must have been the wrong one in a hurry at that time, do you want me to take it and change it back?" ”

Qinglan's heart jumped suddenly, and she pondered for a while and said: "No need, you go out, don't let others in, don't mention this matter to anyone, the other side of the big house wants to come over to ask you, you don't know anything." Chunling retreated as she said.

Qinglan opened the booklet again, flipped through the pages one by one, she knew a little about bookkeeping and accounting, and flipped through it hastily, the more she looked at it, the more frightened she became, and said secretly: "There is Zhao Yuechan's seal and handprint behind this book, and this book is hers." The amount of silver on the top is huge, there are seven or eight thousand taels in rough calculation, her father was originally just a six-grade reason, and he was only promoted to Jinling Zhizhong last year, how can there be so much silver for marriage, and the uncle's silver taels have never been handled by her. When I went to ask my wife for peace a few times ago, I heard a few of them grinding their teeth, saying that Zhao Yuechan was greedy for ink and deducting the silver taels in the public school, and the deficit was very large, and she didn't know where to use it, so she actually used it to put money in the seal! What a guts! ”

Qinglan pinched the account book, only felt that her hands were hot, and she thought in her heart: "What should I do now?" The uncle is not here, so do you have to hand over this account book to the wife? Then he thought, "This is absolutely inappropriate." Uncle and I have told me several times that when the old lady is mourned, if Zhao Yuechan knows each other, he will give more silver to reconcile with her; If you don't know each other, you will return her a letter of resignation. The uncle revealed this meaning to the old lady, but was scolded. Last time, my wife also said to me, 'I know that the Zhao family is a little mean, but she is married to Ming Media.' The Zhao family is now thriving, Brother Lou and his father-in-law are also getting the blue eyes of the court, and now Zhao Yuechan is not at fault, and the divorce of his wife will inevitably involve the two families with bad interests, involving a wide range of interests and connections, and also affecting the reputation of the Lin family, so he should not act rashly. This daughter-in-law was married by him blindly and willfully, how can he cause even greater disaster now because he willfully wants to divorce his wife? You also persuade Brother Lou more on weekdays. If this account book is handed over to Mrs., Mrs. will at most scold behind closed doors, even if she puts the money in print, Mrs. will cover her up for the reputation of the Lin family. But...... But if this account book is handed over to the uncle...... Uncle was already disgusted with Zhao Yuechan, this annoyance, he wrote a letter of resignation on the spot, I don't know, I will give birth to a son, ...... "Qinglan stroked her bulging belly with her right hand, bit her lip, and thought: "I was personally selected by my wife, and my good nationality was accepted as a concubine, and my uncle loved me a lot, and even the thrush said, last time my wife was annoyed with me, but she was annoyed that I overstepped the rules, not disgusted with me, I really gave birth to a son, and the uncle divorced Zhao Yuechan, and he will definitely be able to straighten me out, and my wife will definitely be happy." ”RS
