Xianglan is a careful person, thinking that there are all serious masters eating together at a table, and it is not right for her to stay here, so she just watches them sit down and then find a reason to go down. Seeing that everyone was seated, a few daughters-in-law and little girls came over with hot water to ask everyone to clean their hands, so they stepped forward to take Brother Hui'er's hand and said, "I will take my brother to find the nurse to feed." With that, he was leaving.

Lin Dongqi was a sensitive person, and he already understood what Xianglan meant, so he hurriedly got up and pulled her arm, and said with a smile: "You just sit down and eat with us, and there is a maid to lead Brother Hui'er." ”

Xianglan hesitated: "This ......"

Lin Dongjun also stood up, and while sending the old mother to take Brother Hui down, he said with a smile: "That's it, that's it, come and sit, it's all a family, why bother seeing outsiders like this." Tong Lin Dongqi pulled Xianglan back to her seat with Lin Dongqi left and right.

Lin Dongqi smiled and quipped: "You eat at the same table with your eldest brother all day long, and your vision is high, can you look down on our sisters?" ”

Xianglan knew that it was Lin Dongqi who relieved her, and her heart warmed, so she smiled and said, "How can this be." ”

Lin Dongjun poured a cup of sherbet for Xianglan with his own hands, pushed it in front of her, and said with a smile: "Let's have a cup of appetizer first." "I went to Zhang Luo's little girl again to bring hot water and clean Xianglan's hands. Lingqing stepped forward to remove the bracelet from Xianglan's hand, held it with a handkerchief, and helped Xianglan put it on after she cleaned her hands. Lin Dongjun praised Xianglan's bracelet for being good-looking: "This jade water is head and foot, and the pattern on the gold bracelet is beautiful, I don't know where I got it?" Is it Wanbaolou or Cuizhuzhai? I'll play a pair like this when I'm going to catch up with Ming'er. ”

Tan sat aside, with a smile on his face, and slowly wiped his hands clean, secretly surprised in his heart. When she first married into the Lin family, she was naturally cautious to please, because the elders were not in front of her, and the sisters Lin Dongjun and Lin Dongqi were the ones she tried her best to make friends with on weekdays. The former married into the Lu family, and now although the Lu family's reputation is declining, "a hundred-year-old worm, dead but not stiff", there is still a sense of confidence, not to mention that Lin Dongxuan was born to Lin Jinxuan's son, and when he came back to visit Aunt Yin, Lin Jinxuan also treated her very kindly; The latter, as the daughter of the hairpin family, married the second son of Zhenguo Gong with a promising future, and has a great reputation among the ladies and ladies in the capital. Because she was very envious, she was also very happy to make friends with Lin Dongqi.

It's just that Su and Qi treat her tepidly, and Tan is just because he is new and not familiar with it. But he didn't expect that when Lin Dongjun saw Xianglan today, he was also enthusiastic about her, and his words were full of courtesy.

Everyone cleaned their hands, and three or four maids came in with a big lacquer box, Xiaojuan and Xue Ning took the dishes from the box and put them on the table, and soon the dishes on the table were lined up, and all kinds of dishes were different, most of them were light and plain.

There was silence during the banquet, and only the sound of the clattering of dishes and chopsticks was heard.

After the meal, the maid and the servant woman removed the remnant of the table, served fragrant tea and rinsed their mouths, everyone moved to the east house, the maid rearranged the snacks and fruits, and laughed once, but said some idle words, Lin Dongjun was born with a smart mouth, and seventy percent of everyone's words let her speak: whose home is well-built, which troupe sings well, whose husband and wife are not in harmony, whose family has a new concubine, and whose family has two rooms and three rooms are awkward. This trivial little thing was originally boring, but she spoke it vividly, with ups and downs.

Xianglan heard Lin Dongjun say this, and from time to time she could hear the names of a few people who were familiar with the family, but more than ten years of vicissitudes have passed, and she has a sense of right and wrong. Seeing Lin Dongjun dancing again, I felt that she was paired with a waking wood and landed on the bookcase to "snap", she was really an authentic storyteller.

The house was talking lively, Lin Jinlou walked in from the outside, and when he entered the house, he saw quietly. It turned out that the master was talking and laughing to himself, and the maids also dispersed, or went to eat, or went to take a nap, or went to the cover room to talk and joke, only the painting fan moved a small pestle to sit at the door and guard, doing a color needle and thread in their hands.

Lin Jinlou saw that there was no one in the house and turned out, and when he heard the laughter coming from the east side of the house, he walked over, he was eating and drinking in front of him, and he was stained with a stain on his body, and he came back to change his clothes, he wanted to call Xianglan, but when he walked to the door and heard the laughter, he changed his mind, and secretly thought that Xianglan was also lonely on weekdays, so it was easy to come to a few people of the same age to talk to her, as soon as he entered, it was inevitable that the people in the house were uncomfortable and ruined. Seeing Lin Jinlou coming, the painting fan hurriedly stood up, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, and when he saw Lin Jinlou waving his hand, he obediently closed his mouth and shrank to the side to stand.

Lin Jinlou pricked up his ears and listened to the house.

Now Lin Dongjun is talking about a matter of the Dai family. In the early years of the Dai family, the ancestors of the Dai family were the second-class members of the court, and there were several generations of talents in the family, because of the prince's affairs were implicated, hurt the vitality, and hibernated for more than ten years, until three years ago, the saint was re-favored, and the Dai family master Dai Qing entered the Hanlin Academy, and was very valued by the cabinet elder Zhao Jin. There is a saying that "the wife who was promoted to get rich and died", Dai Qing died when he first came to run, and after a year he married a new wife, and the family was thriving again.

Xianglan took a sip of tea, raised her head slightly, and saw Lin Dongqi listening attentively to Lin Dongjun's words: "...... But that belly is in the mourning period of the Dai family's wife, it has been more than five months, it is the girl that Dai Sanye stole under the nose of the third grandmother of the Dai family, the girl is also clever, first excused herself to go home and hide for a few months, the belly is much bigger than others, Xu is a twin, seeing that she can't hide it, the girl and her mother took her back to Dai's house. Grandma Dai San wanted to reward her with a bowl of abortion medicine, but who knew that the girl was proud of herself by the old lady's side, and held her stomach and let the old lady decide. You all know the temperament and temperament of Grandma Daisan, who was about to explode her lungs, chased her skirt to the old lady's room, and grabbed the girl in front of the old lady, ouch! There is also a saying that picking out people's eyeballs is tsk, tsk, giving people goosebumps. ”

Lin Dongqi was taken aback, stroked his arm and said, "Big sister, don't talk about it, it's weird." What happened? ”

"How? What else? The old lady of the Dai family fainted on the spot, and the girl was so frightened that she fell to the ground and gave birth. Master Dai said that he would ruthlessly rectify the third daughter-in-law, tsk, to say that Dai San's grandmother really had two sons, knowing that his father-in-law had newly married a house, and now the newlywed Yan'er was on the rise, and turned back to please the new mother-in-law. As soon as the wind blew on this pillow, it was handled lightly, and within two days, she showed off her might, and now the girls of the Dai family have subdued her. Lin Dongjun said, picked up a cup of tea and moistened his mouth, and said: "That maid sent Zhuangzi up, I heard that a neat girl is good, and now she is broken, and I don't know what to do in the future, Dai Sanye only sent someone to send forty taels of silver, and he never cared about it again." ”

Tan snorted and said, "Amitabha, should!" That girl is retribution. The Dai family is not reasonable, how can anyone steal a girl during her mother's funeral, and spread it out to the Dai family. Even if Grandma Dai San is inappropriate, it is also the connivance of the Dai family, is it possible that the old lady's side can casually climb the master's bed and steal the hostess's man? ”

Lin Jinlou was very impatient when he heard that it was nothing more than some mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and turned around to leave, but he didn't want to hear Xianglan say: "Dai Sanye is not a good thing, that girl is a slave girl in the end, what can she do if the master insists on her." Poor girl's life was ruined, a pair of children died, and the man was still happy. ”

When Lin Jinlou heard this, he put down his feet again.

Tan sneered: "There is a saying that 'flies don't bite seamless eggs', this world is a slap that can't be slapped, if that girl doesn't have that intention, how can Dai Sanye succeed?" Besides, she is the old lady's maid, and she has a better face than other maids, is it difficult for Dai Sanye to be stronger? I heard that the third master Dai is a merry man who looks like Pan An, and such a wealthy and good-looking person made that girl feel dirty. ”

Xianglan also sneered: "According to this statement, everyone who has a net worth and looks should be the girls rushing to climb the master's bed?" ”

Tan Shi raised his voice and said loudly: "That girl is really forced, Sanzhen Jiulie, so reluctantly, she should wipe her neck directly, and if she has a seed, she should have a bowl of medicine pendant, why hide it secretly, Mo has a stomach and comes back disgusting!" Such a scared and hypocritical little, Dai San's grandmother beat really happily. ”

Xianglan said slowly: "If she is forced by her master, she will be very pitiful if she loses her temperament, and she can no longer hope for a decent marriage in the future, and it is not her fault for this, why should outsiders force each other to take her life?" She doesn't die, maybe she has a father and mother to raise, is it possible that because she is attached to the world, she will fall into all kinds of ways? She is pregnant, and the child in her belly is connected with blood, how can she bear to beat the child out. She must have struggled for a long time, but in the end she couldn't be ruthless, and she was noticed by her family again, so she returned to Dai's house. ”

Lin Dongqi didn't know the inside story, but Lin Dongqi knew a little about the matter between Xianglan and Lin Jinlou, and knew that Fang Cai's words had poked Xianglan's heart, and seeing that Tan's face was red and he still wanted to argue, he smiled and said: "Okay, okay, it's all an outsider's business, why should we talk about this." He took Xianglan's hand and said, "I remember that you used to be the best at drawing tricks, what is new lately?" Draw a landscape for me, I want to make a big one, and I will go back and embroider it on the big one. ”

Xianglan was as good as a stream, went down the ladder, and said with a smile: "I just came to the capital yesterday, and the paintings are all in Jinling, and I will spend a few paintings on my second aunt and grandmother when I catch up with Ming'er, and just tell me what you want." ”

Lin Dongjun said funny: "There is still me, there is still me, it turns out that you still have this benefit, and you can find a place to find a pattern in the future." I want a hundred butterfly peonies, help me draw two. ”

Lin Dongqi smiled again: "You paint slowly, don't rush, and don't rush to ask for it." ”

Xianglan smiled and responded, and Yu Guang glanced at Tan. RS
