But it was said that in Changchun Hall, Lin Jinlou had dinner with Xianglan, and Lin Jinlou took a pen under the lamp to review official business, and ordered Xianglan to serve beside him. Xianglan turned on the lamp, carefully studied the ink, made a pot of tea, and neatly put all kinds of correspondence letterheads. Lin Jinlou handed her a list and ordered her to write a post about red and white ceremonies according to her name. Xianglan sat on the other side of the bookcase and spread out various kinds of letterheads.

Not long after, the daughter-in-law Qiaohui, who often waits with the Qin family, came in and said: "Grandma's father, Lord Tan, will leave for Shandong next month to take up a post, because the master is not there, he wants to see the uncle, because he handed the post to the uncle, the uncle has not replied, so he begged to the wife, the wife means that the family is a relative, let the Tan family come to the house tomorrow for a small gathering, the uncle or take the time to meet." ”

Lin Jinlou frowned, Tan Siye did send him a worship post, but the wording on the post that day was slightly unkind, quite an elder to suppress him, Lin Jinlou how to eat this set, and threw the worship post into a group. Then he said: "Ming'er is not free, my wife will see it." ”

Qiao Hui was embarrassed: "This is what Mrs. meant, I said that I would let the uncle see it" Seeing that Lin Jinlou's eyebrows were twisted again, he didn't dare to say any more, and hurriedly glanced at Xianglan.

When Xianglan saw it, she put down the pen in her hand and said: "Since it is a family of in-laws and elders, it should always be seen, and besides, people have gone to Shandong again, and I don't know when they can come back." ”

Lin Jinlou patted Xianglan's hand, and said nonchalantly: "Tan Siye Yuan offended Shangfeng and didn't have a good day, if it wasn't for our family's efforts, he would still be able to come to the capital to seek officials?" Ye is deliberately drying him, don't worry. The grandson is better than a monkey, and he will know the rules of depth and shallowness when he is hung twice, so that he will not be shaken up and use the old man's name to make trouble outside in the future. He said to Qiao Hui again: "You go back to your wife, let them see their daughters when they should see each other, and the master is really not free tomorrow." ”

Qiao Hui said goodbye.

Lin Jinlou put down the pen, closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose, dragged the post written by Xianglan over and read two articles, and then reached out and fished the person over. Holding on his lap, a little pandan nose, he smiled and said, "Who did you say you learned this calligraphy from, huh?" If you are a man, he will let you be a clerk. As he spoke, he grabbed Xianglan's hand and looked at it repeatedly under the lamp.

Xianglan withdrew her hand and said lightly: "I should learn to be an Oiran, Mr. Clerical has exalted me." Then he got up.

Lin Jinlou was stunned, then laughed, and wrapped his arms around Xianglan's waist. Qiang pulled Xianglan's face over and kissed it, looked at her slightly red face and smiled slightly: "Yo, I didn't expect you to hold a grudge." Say you're not as annoyed as Oiran? I'll tell you. You're better than all of them, and the man who licks his face too much doesn't want to look at it. ”

Pandan turned her head away from him.

Lin Jinlou pulled back Xianglan's hand, played with her fingers and said, "Lao Yuan's youngest son is sick, Ming'er, you want to pick a few gifts and send someone over." ”

Xianglan turned her head and asked, "Brother De'er?" What disease? ”

"It's the wind chill. This child is also pitiful, his biological mother died early. The grandmother also died early, and Lao Yuan personally brought it up with him, and the grandfather was careless, and because of him, the nurse did not dare to take care of it. ”

Xianglan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Yongchang Hou is really a rare good man who values affection and righteousness. ”

Lin Jinlou raised his eyebrows: "Rare? A good man who values affection? ”

"Yes. I heard from the maids and daughters-in-law that he had a deep affection for Dege'er's biological mother because of his early death. So he took this child with him and raised him. When he heard that the woman had died young, he scattered the concubines in the room, leaving only two aunts, both of whom had had given birth to heirs, and the rest could stay as they wished. Every year, the Marquis of Yongchang gave money to the poor, and did good deeds in the name of Dege'er's biological mother. He is very humble and easy-going, treats people sincerely, and does not take his position in a high position and is arrogant. ”

Lin Jinlou pinched Xianglan's chin and said, "Little Xianglan, how do you think you mean something?" ”

"No, it's your own care."

"Tsk, I look at you white, why are you getting more and more stupid, how many times have you met him, and you haven't said a word? Do you think he's a good guy? ”

Xianglan pursed her lips and didn't say anything, the last time she met De Ge'er at the door of the warehouse, Yuan Shaoren personally came to take the child, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and her words were gentle, and she actually thanked her repeatedly, without being arrogant, and couldn't help but feel good.

I only heard Lin Jinlou say in her ear again: "Silly girl, the master sues you, most men in the world have a virtue, who do you think is a gentleman, that kid can't tell how a man steals a woman behind his back." ”

Xianglan glared at him: "Why does the uncle smear his friends so much, Yongchanghou still wants to be your sister-in-law." ”

Lin Jinlou glared and said, "You are fat, how can you speak?" Seeing Xianglan hanging her head, she paused and said, "Lao Yuan also had a number one before, the sound of dogs and horses, flowers and willows have all been seen, a few years ago I saw De Ge'er's biological mother, called to be Lianniang, to be a concubine, Lianniang refused at first, and then somehow responded, but Lao Yuan's mother-in-law did not let her enter the door to serve tea, so she simply raised it outside, Lao Yuan also cultivated himself for a while, and after a while, he came out to fight, until Lianniang died, it was like a different person. ”

Xianglan was stunned and asked, "How did Lianniang die?" ”

"Who knows, some say that they have a postpartum stroke, some say that they are seriously ill, and some say that they committed suicide. She was also a famous family, and in the early years of the Shen family in the capital, the granddaughter of Shen Wenhan, the first assistant, said that you don't know, when the Shen family was full of beheadings, you were afraid that you hadn't been born yet. ”

This sentence seemed to explode a thunderbolt in Xianglan's ears, only to thunder her, and her heart was about to pop out of her throat, and she couldn't help but pull Lin Jinlou's arm and asked, "Is there anyone alive in the Shen family?" ”

Lin Jinlou glanced at her in surprise and said: "No, the Shen family is considered to have been destroyed, and most of the original female dependents who joined the Jiaofang Division also committed suicide. When Lao Yuan's uncle arrived at the Jiaofang Division, Lian Niang only had one breath left, and her mother's corpse was wrapped in a mat. Uncle Yuan once received the favor of Shen Wenhan, and it took a lot of effort to bring Lianniang out of the Teaching Workshop Division. Although it is an official slave. But it has always been raised like this by a half-slave and half-master, and it is difficult for the emperor to get rid of the felony of five rebellions and ten evils, at least it will be safe. After he finished speaking, he saw that Xianglan had already burst into tears, and his mind was in a trance, he was secretly shocked, shook Xianglan and said, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Pandan's heart was about to break, so she lowered her head and wiped her tears with her sleeve. Choked up: "It's nothing, it's just that I can't help but think of how miserable it was for my mother to strangle her daughter with her own hands that night" Xianglan was extremely sad, she knew that her family had died tragically, but now she heard Lin Jinlou personally mention how tragic it was at that time, if it weren't for Lin Jinlou here, I'm afraid she would have cried bitterly at this moment.

Lin Jinlou looked at Xianglan thoughtfully, patted her on the back, and said, "You are really sentimental." "Pick up the hot tea on the table and drink it with her. Stretched out his hand to wipe her tears, and said casually: "The Shen family is quite miserable, and their family is all hard bones. It's kind of like you. ”

Pandan looked up. Seeing Lin Jinlou's sharp eyes in her hazy teary eyes, she was shocked, but at the moment, her thoughts were chaotic and her mind was tired, so she gently leaned on Lin Jinlou's chest and said, "How can I meet the portrait of the Shen family, I have never heard of it." It's just a sentimental mother and daughter."

Lin Jinlou hugged her, rubbed her back like a cat, and said for a long time: "Oh, yes." After a pause, he said: "These days, you are busy outside, and you have to be bored at home." Invite a few female actors to come in and sing, or call the female gentleman who tells the story to come over and say two paragraphs. Staring at the paper every day, I was blinded when I looked back. Two cousins came to the Jiang family, and they went to talk together when they were free. ”

Xianglan lowered her thick long eyelashes and suddenly asked, "How did my painting sell when it was hung up?" ”

Lin Jinlou was stunned, after Lin Jinting's wedding banquet, Xianglan gave him a few paintings and begged him to hang them in the shop and sell them, and now the paintings were still thrown in his study to fall into the dust, so he coughed and said, "Oh, that painting, maybe sell a few pieces, and Ming'er will ask you." ”

Xianglan leaned on Lin Jinlou's chest and said "um", and tears quietly slipped down again.

Before going to bed, Lin Jinlou walked outside, ordered someone to go to the second gate to call Jixiang to him, and said: "Ming'er went to the account to pay twenty taels of silver to your aunt and grandmother, and said that it was from selling paintings to make her happy." ”

Ji Xiang agreed to go, not for the time being.

When he got up the next day, Lin Jinlou practiced a set of boxing, and went out with breakfast. After that, I went to the Qin family's house to ask for peace, and after sitting for a while, the people of the Tan family arrived, Xianglan was not good to stay any longer, Wu's mother grabbed her and smiled: "Our mother and sister have never spoken, come to this house to sit." Xianglan followed Wu's mother into the room, the little girl came in to make tea, the two of them talked about the cold and temperature, Wu's mother smiled at Xianglan: "My son, I have long seen that you are unusual, acting differently than other girls, gentle and quiet, to say a word of heart, I have seen the master and girl tied together and can't keep up with you." Uncle looked at you differently before, like a gluttonous cat fighting famine, and now even the full house of concubines has dispersed, and after next year, the uncle will set up a banquet in the right way, and you will be an aunt and grandmother, and the grievances you have suffered in the past day will be nothing. ”

Xianglan looked at the smile on Wu's mother's face, she knew that Wu's mother was sincerely happy for her, but this joy made her breathless, so she had to smile and hang her head slightly. I only heard the sound of footsteps outside, and looked through the hollow partition, only to see Tan Luhua lead a girl to sit next to the second room, Xianglan peeked over, and saw that the person was tall and fat, with a slightly yellow complexion, small eyes and a round nose, and a despicable appearance, but he had a reserved style and was extremely luxurious.

Mother Wu saw it and said softly: "This is the sister of the grandmother, the girl's name is Tan Lufang, the old man said to the second master earlier, and invited our family to reach it, several celebrities in the capital entered the house, and the second master fell in love with the milk through the screen." It's just that Lord Tan married a high-ranking wife, and he was so powerful that he forced him to send his sister to marry the second master, but he was born like this, and the lord didn't agree when he saw it, saying that the second master had been wronged for so many years, and he must find a beautiful and gentle one, so he said to the Tan family that the second master was not in good health, and marrying someone else's sister was inevitably suspected of oppressing people with power, Tan Lufang knew that the second master was sick and crooked, and he also had a quarrel with the family and was unwilling to marry in, but I heard that when the milk returned to the door, the food and clothing were so wide, and he came out so decent, The second master was born so handsome and elegant, and he really regretted it in his heart. Kang Shouju's maids didn't chew on this. ”

Xianglan nodded slightly, looked at it a few more times, and felt that the two sisters of the Tan family were really goodbye. I saw the two of them talking in a low voice, according to the rare words "Shandong", "Qingzhou", "Uncle Lin" and so on, it seemed that Tan Luhua asked Tan Siye to speak to the Lin family for him. After a while, I suddenly saw Tan Lufang stand up and sneered: "If Daddy is decent, isn't your waist stiff in the Lin family?" It can be seen that your wings are stiff. Don't forget, if I hadn't let you at the beginning, how would you have married into the Lin family, but the little woman was born a girl, and she trembled as soon as she climbed the high branches, I really can't get used to your style. If you have the ability, you will hang on the high branches for a long time, and let the Lin family drive out of the seven crimes, and I will recite Amitabha Buddha for you! After saying that, he got up and went out.

This sentence of "seven out" was poking at Tan Luhua's weak heart, and he couldn't help but tremble with anger, stood up and grabbed Tan Lufang, and said sharply: "What are you talking about, if you have the ability, you can say it again, saying that I am raised by a little woman, then what are you to be the second master of Lin, you can go, follow me to my wife to comment." Seeing that things were about to stiffen, Mother Wu walked over and said to Tan Lufang with a calm face: "Miss Tan is a guest, why is she making a loud noise in the master's house, even if the milk is wrong, there is also a wife to teach, what does it have to do with the girl?" ”

Fang and Hua didn't expect someone next door, and couldn't help but be stunned, Tan Luhua cried: "Even a family of relatives didn't insult me like this, I'm going to sue Mrs. Sù!" ”

Mother Wu immediately sighed in her heart that Tan Luhua had no eyes, Xianglan sighed, even though she didn't like Tan Luhua as a person, now seeing that she was still ridiculed by her sister when she got married, she knew that she was not going well at home, and she had such a tricky temperament, so she hurriedly pulled her to the side and said in a low voice: "Don't cry, Milk, Mother Wu is the face of Mrs., she gives you a head, what grievances do you have?" It's just that this is a housework of milk, no one looks good when it comes out, although the wife is good, but the girls and mothers-in-law have mixed mouths, chewing out something behind their backs, even if the milk adults don't care about a lot, but in the end it's not good, the milk still depends on the mother's family, so why tear your face with the mother's family? ”

Tan Luhua stopped crying when she said this, and Xianglan whispered: "Milk wipe your face next door, don't be angry, my wife is not happy when she sees it." Then he dragged Tan Luhua away.
