Lin Jinlou was born in a wealthy and luxurious family, when he was three years old, he was led in and out of the study by the old lady, listened to the ministers and Qingke staff, and was well versed in the way of officialdom. He has always been disdainful of women, whether it is a beautiful woman or a reserved talent, as long as he looks at him, he is handsome, holding heavy power, and his bones are half crisped first.

He knew that Jiang Xiyun was the daughter-in-law who was optimistic about him at home, this girl had a good family background, was born extremely beautiful, had a sweet mouth, and heard that she was very filial to her grandmother, and often made needlework for her parents, brothers and sisters. However, he could see that Jiang Xiyun looked honest and honest, but in fact, he hid a hundred hearts, observed words and looks, thought about it, and seemed to suffer from everything, but in fact, he took advantage of the benefits. Today, Tan Luhua was unhappy because of the matter of sending Fujian specialties, it seems that Tan Luhua is unreasonable, although Jiang Xiyun said that he did not send many Fujian specialties, but he gave a good inkstone and two spindles of medicinal materials, which are more valuable than Fujian specialties, but think deeply, Jiang Xiyun is not a person who loves calligraphy and painting, and the inkstone is also dusty when placed there for her, and she does not have physical deficiency, and medicinal materials are not commonly used for her - it is easy to disperse the medicinal properties after a long time, it is better to add two gifts to Tan Luhua, which has fulfilled face, also blocked the mouths of others, and curried favor to those who wanted to please, which killed three birds with one stone. When arguing, sometimes sharp, sometimes aggrieved, it seems that he is retreating step by step, but in fact he is aggressive, so that Jiang Danyun and Tan Luhua can't go up and down, just this point, Chen Xianglan's stupid girl is afraid that she will not be able to learn for the rest of her life. See the temperament in the subtleties, this Jiang Xiyun is really exquisite, so sleek, scheming, and good means!

It's just that such a girl likes to be smart the most, only to treat others as stupid, and everyone in the world can be played with in applause by her coquettish little tricks. Today he heard Jiang Xiyun mention that women's learning of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting is just to please the masters, in fact, he also thinks so, but he suddenly remembered that vanilla loves qinqi calligraphy and painting, but it doesn't seem like it is to please him. He asked Brother De'er to ask, and he understood what Xianglan was thinking; The second is also to beat Jiang Xiyun - if you want to marry into the Lin family, you will be honest under his nose, and the practical benefits will not be used on him.

It's just that he never expected to attract Xianglan to talk like this, he only knew that Xianglan acted differently in the past, but today he suddenly realized that her heartfelt knowledge was very different from the woman next to her.

This pedantic pandan like the old sour Confucian, the pandan who cried into tears and also stalked her neck, a hard-boned pandan who didn't know how to please him, actually gave birth to a sense of respect in his heart, mixed with some inexplicable taste, which made him particularly uneasy, he leaned back on the green satin flower pillow behind him, looked at her beautiful and thin silhouette, his heart suddenly softened, he raised the chopsticks and put them down, and said: "If you have something unsatisfactory in your heart now, just tell the master, where do you need to ask for a Bodhisattva." The Bodhisattva is busy enough, where can so many sentient beings in the world be saved? When I think of you, the daylilies are cold. ”

Xianglan only curled the corners of her mouth and smiled reluctantly, gave Lin Jinlou a chopstick dish, and ate it again. Lin Jinlou wanted to ask again, but somehow, the strange feelings in his heart made him impatient for no reason, and he couldn't open his mouth anymore, the two of them were relatively silent and had eaten, and the maids served mouthwash and fragrant tea, removed the residual table, and put the fine tea fruit again, and there was nothing to do for a while.

Lin Jinlou took Xianglan to the courtyard for a walk, and for a while the book dye sent an urgent letter, and the two went back, Lin Jinlou sat behind the bookcase and opened the letter, read it carefully, replied with a pen, sealed it with a wax seal, and ordered the book to be handed over to the front yard guard, he raised his head and saw that Xianglan was sitting on the Luohan bed opposite to do needlework, because he asked: "What are you sewing under the candle?" ”

Xianglan said: "I see that the belly pocket worn by Brother De is a little thick, and I want to make a thinner one for him with muslin." ”

Before he could say a word, he saw Shuran entering the house and replied: "Uncle Chu sent someone to bring a cart of orchids, saying that the uncle asked him for it, where are these flowers?" ”

Lin Jinlou smiled at Xianglan: "There are a few craftsmen in the Chu family, who are the best at planting exotic flowers and plants, and when they are planted in the garden, they will dig them out and sell them, and they will get a lot of silver a year. Then he said to the book, "Bring all the flowers to the bottom of the porch, or to the flower shelf." ”

At one time, a few small girls came in and moved flowers, and when they were cleaned up, Lin Jinlou took pandans to see, and sure enough, there were various varieties of orchids, and the two of them took a look at it by the moonlight, no problem.

On the second day, Lin Jinlou went to the court early, and at three o'clock in the morning, Shuran came in and whispered to Xianglan: "The news sent by the uncle is that the saint has issued a holy decree to make the eldest prince the crown prince. The Holy Lord appointed him to be a royal guard, to stay in the palace for seven or eight days, and to pack a few common clothes to take with him. ”

Xianglan and the maids carefully packed a few sets of clothes, and Lin Jinlou's usual tea bowls and tea sets packed two large bags and ordered someone to take them. Now that the East Palace has been established, it is some people who are happy and some are worried, the Qin family controls the Lin family up and down the door strictly, and after a few days, a few letters have been sent from Shanxi and Jinling.

But said that in Mengfang Courtyard, Jiang's mother held a letter in her hand, looked at Jiang Xiyun, and said with a worried face: "Your father wrote like this in the letter, there is a royal history book to impeach him for accepting generous gifts from the second prince, intending to form a party for personal gain, the saint was furious for it, and reprimanded him in the court, and then I don't know how to punish it, your father has written a plea for the guilty son cough cough" Jiang's mother coughed hard, Jiang Xiyun hurriedly stepped forward and stroked his chest, and said: "Grandmother, don't be in a hurry, just say it slowly." ”

Mother Jiang took a breath, her face was haggard, she shook her head and sighed: "Your father is only afraid that this gift is not a small number, and the saint is so angry, I don't know if I can return to Beijing in the future, and I don't know if the prince will hate him because of this" She raised her eyes, looked at the granddaughter in front of her, rubbed her hand and said: "Lin Jinlou is very fond of concubines, although this family is good, I am not happy to let you tie the knot, but in this situation, your father and mother mean that this family must be married, the Lin family is getting the holy family, Lin Jinlou has been driving with the king for a few days, often accompany the prince left and right, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough

Jiang Xiyun's heart sank like iron, and he reluctantly said with a smile on his face: "In our current situation, it is not certain that the Lin family is willing to refuse." ”

Jiang's mother sighed again, and was about to speak, but saw Jiang Danyun walk in, and sneered: "How can the fifth sister be so selfish? The future of my father's brothers is about to be ruined, and now I only care about myself, are you all blowing in the wind all these years? Haven't received half of the family's favor? He knelt down in front of Jiang's mother and said, "If the fifth sister wants to marry on my behalf, I am older than her, if I propose marriage, it should be me." ”

Jiang Mu's face turned red with anger, and she sat up from the kang and pointed and scolded: "Bastard! Oil has blinded your heart! is so ashamed to say such shameless words, what kind of 'substitute marriage', the Lin family didn't look down on you at all, do we want to go up and bring shame on ourselves! After speaking, she coughed again, Jiang Xiyun stroked her back and slowly fed half a cup of tea.

Jiang Danyun's tears rippled, and he choked up: "Grandmother and grandmother know that the fifth sister is eccentric, I, where am I wrong?"

Jiang's mother sighed, closed her eyes, and opened her eyes again: "Your father has already said in the letter, I have chosen a family for you, it is a Jiangnan student, a scholarly family, cultivating and reading heirlooms, although the person is young and already a person, the family is also very solid, my grandfather once served as a hall official in Kedao, and his father is a county order, and someone from the family will pick you up in a few days, and you will go back to prepare for marriage." ”

Jiang Danyun was stunned, only to feel a basin of cold water poured down his head, and sat on the ground, tears silently falling down his cheeks and rolling on his clothes.

Jiang Xiyun's heart was heavy, she persuaded Jiang's mother once, served her to take medicine, and when she turned around to close the window, she saw the orchid given to her by the Qin family on the windowsill, and somehow, she suddenly remembered Xianglan, that girl was beautiful and talented, Lin Jinlou was extremely shrewd, looking at her as if she was smiling and smiling, she was silent for a while, and gently closed the window.

Lin Jinlou entered the palace, Xianglan became more and more leisurely, and the town was with Brother De, or taught him to read the "Four Books", or the two of them recited poems and painted, or watched Brother De play in the courtyard. Originally, Yuan Shaoren only wanted to stay with Dege'er for two or three days, but as soon as the matter of the crown prince came out, the saint wanted to sacrifice to the sky, and the courtiers were all busy to ten points, and Yuan Shaoren was not idle, so he simply let Dege'er live in the Lin family, and Xianglan naturally couldn't ask for it.

"Sister Xianglan is blessed, just because there is a 'orchid' in the name, the eldest brother has pulled so many orchids, and I have never seen many varieties." Tan Luhua envied the orchids in the yard, sitting on the beauty lean, shaking the fan.

Since Xianglan relieved Tan Luhua and gave her clothes, Tan Luhua has been walking around Changchun Hall diligently, and she also gave back small things such as hair oil, rouge, and sachets. The two gossiped and occasionally talked about poetry and songs to relieve boredom. Tan Luhua loves to boast about how famous she was in the boudoir in the past, but Xianglan just smiled, said a few words at the right time to make fun, often did a needle or two in her hand, or watched De Geer play.

Xianglan smiled: "This is the season to enjoy orchids, and Gongzi Chu's family is good at planting orchids, so he brought it here, where is it because of me." ”

Tan Luhua said: "This reminds me of the situation at home when I was a girl, but it's a pity that the two little hooves of the Jiang family are not good goods, otherwise you can open a poetry club in one place, you don't know, now Jiang Xiyun is going to his wife every day, today to send a needlework, tomorrow to send a bowl of food made by himself, to please the wife is like something, and now let Aunt Xia teach the two girls of the Jiang family by the way, alas, if you want me to say that you are honest and honest, if you don't go forward to make do, Mrs. should forget you when you turn around." ”

Xianglan didn't want to talk more, so she opened the conversation and said: "Now that there are many girls in the family, it is not impossible to open a poetry club, the second grandmother sees which pot of flowers is good, although she moves, invite a few girls to come to the next post, and when the time comes, she will show her might, and she will not fall into the name of your 'talented girl'." ”

Tan Luhua's heart was pounding, he thought about it and shook his head and said: "The second master is so quiet, there are too many girls in the past, he is uncomfortable, and the other is not conducive to recuperation." Besides, to be the east requires silver, our second master can't go out to earn silver by himself compared to the eldest brother, and the monthly silver is not enough to entangle himself. ”

Xianglan said: "This is easy to do, it is excellent in the garden in our house, although it is too small, because the third master married, a pavilion was rebuilt, and the flowers and plants around it are also very prosperous, quite a scene." Zhuangzi has sent some seasonal melons, fruits and vegetables these days, and there are cooks who are good at cooking vegetarian dishes in the house, so they will make a vegetarian feast, which is light and suitable for the taste of their wives. But just add a few taels of silver to buy some fruit wine and come back, they are all women, who is still a drunkard? ”

Tan Luhua was satisfied, and thought that this thing was done well, and he also had light in front of the Qin family, so he smiled on his face, and said to Xianglan: "You are simply a delicate heart." I'm not afraid of your heart, when I saw you before, I only thought that my sister was a fox, and I didn't look down on it in my heart, but now that I've done it all the way, I know why my eldest brother trusts you so much. My mother's family is shallow, and the second master's body is useless, and everyone in this house has a pair of rich eyes, or respects in person, and chews gossip behind his back; Or they don't even give me face, and they make me cry every time. Only my sister is a sincere treat of me, several times to dismiss me, and give me good things, I was reckless before, and I gave you no face, and my sister didn't hate me. He also said generously: "Since then, I have recognized you as a sister, and in the future, my sister will only come to me if she is in trouble. ”

Xianglan smiled: "The second grandmother is serious, how can it be so good." But she sighed in her heart, although she didn't appreciate Tan Luhua very much before, but seeing that she was in a difficult situation in her mother's house, she had to marry Lin Jinxuan and keep the empty boudoir alone, and now she is only in her youth, she doesn't know how to live this life, she thinks of her usual state of mind, and she has more pity for Tan Luhua. It's just that Tan Luhua has such a temperament, but the gentleman has a light friendship and too deep friendship, so I'm afraid that I will tie my hands again.

At this time, De Ge'er memorized a book and came out of the room, and Tan Luhua said goodbye.

Two days later, Tan Luhua really posted a post and set up the poetry club, which coincided with Lin Jinlou's return home, so it was postponed for a day. Early the next morning, Lin Dongjun, Lin Dongqi, and Jiang Feiyun, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, all arrived at the Lin family in a sedan chair.
