Luan'er held back her tears and said, "Uncle already dislikes me, and he doesn't even want to look at me?" ”

Lin Jinlou said: "What did you say?" It's time to eat at this hour, what are you doing here? After speaking, he got up, glanced at Luan'er, and said, "You are dressed up today and festive." You can go, and I'll listen to you play the music in a few days. Then he went into the house to change his clothes.

Luan'er's heart was empty, and she didn't know what it was like, so she walked out in a trance. Thinking that Lin Jinlou was just laughing and affectionate with Xianglan, and being careless about himself, a wave of grievances came up, and he couldn't swallow a breath, so he buried his face in the handkerchief and whimpered and cried. Rushuang hurriedly walked over when she heard the voice, dragged Luan'er and pushed it out, and said in a low voice: "My girl, if you want to cry and cry, what kind of business is it here, beware of provoking the uncle is not happy, and annoying you again, go out quickly!" He pushed and pulled Luan'er out of the door.

Rushuang Suri was good friends with the book dyeing, and he had the heart to mention Luan'er, and when he arrived at the door, he saw that there was no one around, so he whispered: "What are you crying about, I don't want to think about how many days the uncle hasn't seen you, he annoyed you last time, didn't he give you a good face this time?" Take your time in everything, how can there be a reason to eat a fat man in one bite? Go back quickly, and come back tomorrow. Then he brought out a bowl of tea from the house and ate it with her.

Luan'er ate a few sips of tea, only then came to her senses, wiped her tears, silently remembered Rushuang's words, and thought of Lin Jinlou praising her for dressing up well, saying that she wanted to listen to her singing again, her heart became hot, although she hated Xianglan, but she made up her mind that she would come to the main room every day in the future, and she would not mention it for the time being.

But it was said that Lin Jinlou had changed his clothes, scrubbed it, sat on the Luohan bed, and Lianxin brought a plain and smooth big silver plate, which held a stack of posts, and said to Lin Jinlou: "This is the post received by the concierge today, these are picked out by Mr. Qi, please make a decision." As he spoke, he put it on the kang table.

Lin Jinlou opened them one by one and put them in several piles, raised his eyes and saw Xianglan sitting in a daze from afar, so he beckoned: "Come here, write a few words for me." ”

Xianglan had to go over, Tinglan took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Xianglan held the pen, and listened to Lin Jinlou say: "Two hundred hard bows, three hundred Yanling knives, one hundred spears, and fifty war horses......

Xianglan stopped and waited, and after a while, Lin Jinlou said again: "Fifty sets of armor, eighty pairs of copper hammers, and nine hundred rope ladders." ”

Xianglan wrote them down one by one, Lin Jinlou took the paper and looked at it, nodded and smiled: "You have such delicate words, it doesn't match to write these words, you should write the words of the wind and snow." He touched his chin again and pondered over the piece of paper.

Ting Lan came in, and when she saw that Lin Jinlou didn't dare to disturb her, she glanced at Xianglan, and Xianglan shook her head gently. Lin Jinlou thought about things, no one dared to disturb, the last time Lin Jinlou was looking through the letterhead, he was also so thoughtful. Nuan Yue went to offer courtesy, brought the soup over, and said several times: "Uncle, use it quickly, the chicken soup is cold and crooked, and it is troublesome to eat." It annoyed Lin Jinlou, and with a wave of his hand, he knocked over the soup bowl, splashed Nuan Yueyi's skirt, and pointed and scolded: "God kills stupid people, don't hang around in front of the master in the future!" Don't get out of here! Nuan Yue was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground when she ran out, and she didn't dare to appear in front of Lin Jinlou for two days.

Xianglan naturally didn't want to touch her head, so she just sat on the side and was stunned, unconsciously staring at the peacock rosewood luodian inlaid eight-treasure screen in the warm pavilion. The first time she saw this screen, she had just returned from home, and when she landed on the top of the five thunders, she was stunned, as if she was obsessed with a dream, she reached out and touched it, and touched the ruby in the peacock's eyes, and her fingertips were cold. This screen is her marriage in her previous life, her mother smiled and said to her: "The peacock screen is an old object, it was originally played in the old lady, she loves you the most, saying that the peacock has a rich and magnificent, auspicious meaning, I want to send this screen to you to add a box, don't forget to kowtow to your grandmother later." ”

Later, this screen followed her to Xiao's house, placed in the bedroom, and when Xiao Hang came back at night, she looked and wrote outside the screen, and she did needlework on the big kang in the screen, quiet and peaceful. Later, the eighth prince usurped power and ascended the throne, the Xiao family was confiscated, she and Xiao Hang died of illness on the way to distribution, and the screen disappeared. Now she didn't even dare to stand the name tablet of her grandfather, father and mother, and she didn't dare to worship, so she had to set up a small tablet of "Shen ancestors of the past dynasties" in Jingyue Nunnery, secretly burn incense and kneel down, chant sutras, and then saw this screen, her heart was embarrassed, and she couldn't help but look at it.

Lin Jinlou woke up from his contemplation and raised his head, but saw Xianglan motionless, staring at the peacock screen stupidly, the light of the candle cast a dark shadow on her, making her extremely thin and weak, with frowning eyebrows and autumn water, but there was another charm and posture. Lin Jinlou looked at it for a long time, and then coughed softly and said, "What are you looking at?" ”

Xianglan came back to her senses, glanced at Lin Jinlou, lowered her head and didn't speak, and only whispered after a while: "Uncle should eat." ”

Lin Jinlou frowned, stretched out again, and said, "It's time to eat, pack up your things, and set up the meal." ”

Lianxin, Tinglan and others were waiting for this sentence, and hurriedly came in to light the gilt lamp, clean up the kang table, and brought in a copper basin for the two to clean their hands, and passed the dishes up. The cook in the small kitchen knows Lin Jinlou's taste best, and when he saw that he specially ordered dragon beard noodles and osmanthus cakes today, he knew that he was out socializing these days, and he was afraid that he would drink too much wine and eat greasy, so he ordered something light. So I fried two vegetarian dishes, mixed cold vegetables with braised meat and chicken, and specially made cornmeal and rosehip tart steamed cakes, and osmanthus cake, poria cake, lotus root cake, etc.

Xianglan ate a bowl of noodles with side dishes, and wiped her mouth with a towel, because Lin Jinlou didn't finish eating, and she didn't dare to ask for tea to rinse her mouth. Lin Jinlou really had a great appetite, ate very fragrantly, and ate very fast, and when he rinsed his mouth, the maid removed the remnant seat, and went to pull Xianglan's hand, dragged her to the screen, pointed and asked, "Like this thing?" ”

Xianglan's eyes flickered, and she said, "It's very good-looking, so I took a few more looks." ”

Lin Jinlou smiled: "I ask you, like this?" ”

Xianglan said: "...... Pretty good-looking......"

Lin Jinlou snorted in his nose and sneered: "Hey, if you like it, you have to say it and grab it in your hand, if you are silent, how can others know that you like it?" ”

“…… If you like it sometimes, it's good to see it, don't you have to get it? ”

"Silly girl, don't grab the top in your hand if you like it, turn around and let others take the lead, why are you looking greedy? When the time comes, the net remnant of digging out the heart and scratching the liver will be uncomfortable. Come on, don't you like this? ”

Xianglan didn't dare to agree, but when she saw Lin Jinlou's eyes burning, she nodded lightly and whispered, "I like it." ”

"Isn't that the end of it?" Lin Jinlou laughed, hugged Xianglan in his arms, ignored her struggles, and blew hot air in her ear: "You call 'brother, good husband' twice, and the lord will give it to you, how about it?" ”

Pandan ears were red, and she said, "What do you say!" ”

Lin Jinlou laughed and said, "I'm in a good mood today, but there won't be this shop in this village...... Today, Lu Changyu's old boy suffered a big loss under the hands of the master, and the credit of the master last time made the guy confused, and this time he brought the profit back. ”

Xianglan thought for a moment and asked, "Lu Changyu is the Marquis of Yongxin?" ”

Lin Jinlou said unexpectedly: "You actually know him?" ”

Xianglan hurriedly covered up: "A while ago, the uncle was annoyed with him, and he always scolded him at home......"

Lin Jinlou looked at her once, Xianglan was a little weak-hearted, hung her head, and only listened to Lin Jinlou say: "That guy was blind to money, and secretly took out the grain and grass materials for the military to sell, but it happened that the master's people took the handle and revealed the news to the Zhenguo Gong and Yongchang Hou, and we joined forces to do him." He is a smart man, so he lost his pawn to protect the car, smeared oil under his feet, and took his wife and children into Beijing to squint, but he pulled out several of his minions, and now the vacant important positions are all people, and he will be much more comfortable in the future. ”

Xianglan said secretly: "When the first emperor was here, the Yongxin Hou family relied on the ancestral shade to live, but there was still a little bit of energy, and Lin Jinlou dared to confront the lord. After thinking about it, his overlord temperament, and his temper came up, he was afraid that God would be able to poke a hole, so he was a little relieved.

Lin Jinlou fiddled with the bright red agate pendant on Xianglan's ear, and said casually: "No wonder he is in a hurry to get silver, the original family is already poor, and they have reached the point of selling gold collars and antique calligraphy and paintings to make a living, but he has a daughter who was born beautiful, and became the side concubine of the third prince, hugged his thigh before he breathed a sigh of relief, the third prince ensured that he was promoted, raised some eagle dogs, and bit people around like mad dogs, if it wasn't for the old man beating a few times, the master would have cleaned him up a long time ago." After speaking, he pinched Xianglan's little chin, stared at her eyes and asked her: "Don't say that bad thing, call it 'good husband', do you want to call it?" Do you want to call or not? He said that he stretched out his hand and squeaked pandan.

Xianglan was unbearable, giggled, twisted and hidden, and couldn't help itchy, so she cried out: "Good husband." ”

Lin Jinlou saw her smiling like a flower, her face was ruddy, her sideburns were slightly loose, and her heart was itchy, remembering that Xianglan was angry with him a few days ago, and hated her in her heart, she hugged her in her arms and rubbed her for a long time, Xianglan was almost strangled to death, only to hear the top of her head, Lin Jinlou gritted his teeth and said: "You dare to ...... in the future"

Xianglan was miserable when she heard this, and she was immediately frightened and didn't dare to move, and said secretly: "It's bad, this living Hades is moody, it was good just now, this is going to turn his face!" Just as she was worried, Lin Jinlou let her go, Xianglan looked up timidly, but saw Lin Jinlou with a smile on her face, and said to her: "That's a good sentence, say it again, hurry up." ”

This face changed in a moment, Xianglan was a little confused, and after grinding for a long time, she called out again: "Good brother." He pursed his lips tightly.

Lin Jinlou was very satisfied, kissed her face, called Chunling in, and asked someone to come in to add tea. RS
