Yuan Shaoren smiled twice and said: "You are not convinced, Song Ke can be called a first-class person, Wenbo Dachang, poetry and poetry, quite scheming city." I heard that the original dignitaries of Xianguo Gongyuan recommended him to Hubei to serve as the prefect, but he refused to accept it, and only nested in the Hanlin Academy to be a small editor, and he would be angry with Xianguo Gong. It is also a loss that he resigned on the same day, otherwise the prince of Xianguo would fall, and the first one would implicate him as a pond fish. Just rush this clarity, it should not be underestimated. ”

Lin Jinlou said: "I heard that their son-in-law was not in harmony, Song Ke seemed to be willing to support the East Palace, and often said that the prince was gentle and humble, and had the attitude of a wise monarch. This state affair is involved in family affairs, Xianguo Gong looks at his son-in-law unpleasantly, Song Ke doesn't care about his father-in-law, Zheng Jingxian is in a dilemma, she can't persuade this if she can't coax this, she lost weight twice, and the last time my mother visited the door, she happened to meet her, and was startled when she looked like this, I don't know what she was hiding, comforted a few words, and coaxed her words, she still didn't say anything, but her mother Wei's, couldn't hold back and cry first. ”

Yuan Shaoren said: "Song Ke is now planning to avoid trouble, and he asked for release on a piece of paper. ”

Lin Jinlou sneered: "He wants to be beautiful, how can there be a decent lack of children now, even if there is, it will not be his turn, and the prince of Xianguo will fall." ”

"Heh, there are no decent places, but there are a few places that are not decent, and the top eighty percent is going to be accurate, and it's up to him to figure it out, where do you guess he is going?"

Lin Jinlou asked, "Where?" ”

Xianglan also pricked up her ears to listen, but Xue Ning came over, saw Xianglan standing there, and hurriedly asked softly, "What did Grandma command?" ”

Xianglan was stunned for a moment and didn't hear Yuan Shaoren's words, and it was not good to stand behind the screen, so she had to enter the house, sat on the kang and thought in her heart, secretly thinking: "Song Ke has been a human being for two generations, and he has focused on his future career, and today he has suffered this catastrophe, I just hope that he is safe." With a long sigh, he thought: "In this life, our whole family owes him a great kindness, and we can't just forget it, now that he is in trouble, naturally we can't sit idly by and ignore the fact that most of the public property of the country has been confiscated, and Song Ke's life is not easy, but I don't know where he wants to be an official and when he will leave." I am a wanderer, and the affairs of the court can't help anything, but it is always feasible to give money and gifts, and this farewell may not be seen again for the rest of my life. She tried her best not to think about it, walked slowly to the table, poured a cup of tea with her own hands, and said in her heart: "Lin Dongxiu is a person who specializes in selling camels in the Nine Kingdoms, and he can't ask her, Brother De'er is too young to ask, I'm afraid that I have to ask Yongchanghou himself, but how can I give him a message?" I hate that I came out this time, and no one who knew the bottom of my heart was brought with me. ”

At this time, Lin Jinlou walked in, saw Lin Dongxiu and De Ge'er asleep on the big kang in the blue yarn cupboard, beckoned Xianglan to lead Xianglan to the bedroom, Xianglan saw him with a straight face, and couldn't help but feel worried, and suddenly heard a very subtle "mimi" call, and couldn't help but wonder: "What is this sound?" ”

Lin Jinlou was still frowning, his face was long, he grabbed a milk cat called Mimi from his arms, stuffed it into Xianglan's arms and said, "The gadget that I just sent over." ”

Xianglan was pleasantly surprised: "Where did this come from?" Seeing that the cat Yuxue was cute, she couldn't help but raise her head and smile at Lin Jinlou.

Lin Jinlou was stunned, his face was a little better, and he said after a while: "The lion cat in Linqing, Shandong, a pair selected by thousands of people, has this litter in Zhuangzi, there are three, and they want to enter the palace. The head of the village on the Zhuangzi just sent it over, and the master saw that its eyes were timid, like you, and left it for you to be a companion. ”

The cat Mimi screamed and arched into Xianglan's arms, I don't know if she was afraid or cold, she trembled all over, like a fluffy ball, Xianglan's heart was crispy, she picked it up with both hands and took a closer look, touched its belly and rolled it, and saw a hand tube with big gray squirrel hair on a few pieces, and hurriedly put the cat in the hand tube and put it on the bed. The ball of fur cried softly, crawling out of the hand, its four paws staggering and clumsy. Xianglan sat on the edge of the bed and stroked the fluff on the kitten's head with her fingers, and the cat looked at her with round eyes, screaming and rubbing her hand, Xianglan couldn't help laughing, and whispered: "Is it male or female?" ”

Lin Jinlou sat beside her and said, "Male." After a pause, he said: "When I was a child, the old lady also raised a few, which are called Moon Shadow, Golden Silk, Hanging Bead, Embroidered Tiger, and Printed Star." ”

Xianglan thought for a while, and said with a smile: "You look at it with a yellow eye and a blue eye, it should be called 'Mandarin Duck'." ”

Lin Jinlou let out an "oh" and said: "What is the bad name of 'Mandarin Duck', it is a male, and it will be invincible in the cat in the future, and others will praise it, saying, 'What a majestic little overlord, what is your name?'" As soon as it is called 'Mandarin Duck', it is like a little lady who has been greased and powdered, and the momentum is all gone, and what is called "Lion King", "Zhenhu", and "General Xueli" complement each other. ”

Xianglan looked at the little thing in front of her, which was cute and cute, and heard Lin Jinlou say that he would "fight all over the cats" in the future, so she couldn't help but glance at him, and said: "Why do you fight and kill all day long, raising a cat also makes it so aggressive." ”

This white eye was full of charm in Lin Jinlou's eyes, charming and lovely, his heart floated up at once, his face finally melted with frost, he turned around with a smile, and went to see the cat crawling around with Xianglan, and smelled the faint fragrance on her body between his nose. He had good ears and eyes, and when he was talking to Yuan Shaoren, he knew that Xianglan came out of the house, and her auspicious eight-treasure embroidered skirt was exposed under the screen, and when he saw her listening to Song Ke's matter, he stopped, and his heart was not happy. It happened that Zhuang Tou sent the cat, and he came out on an excuse, and wanted to ask a few questions and give her a face, but when he saw her smile at herself, the unhappiness gradually disappeared.

Xianglan secretly glanced at Lin Jinlou and thought secretly: "Fang Cai's face is still stretched like something, as if he owes him 80,000 yuan, and he laughed again after a while, this uncertain temperament is really terrible." She peeked at it and found that Lin Jinlou was staring at her, and she couldn't help but feel a little weak, so she immediately found an excuse to lead the words away, and said casually: "Why do you care about the tribute cats in the palace?" ”

"Ah, how easy are you to be a master? Now the scenery is not relying on having soldiers in hand, raising such an army, pleasing nobles to the top, and trying to make money on the bottom, this cat is to make the old queen mother in the palace happy. As he spoke, he stretched out his legs and patted the cat's head, "This is called doing what he likes, and the roads will go smoothly." The master raised such a person, and he did not loot a single piece of people's fat and ointment, and he did not rely on these means. It's also a loss to the master, and it won't be possible to change others. ”

Xianglan saw that his face was faintly colorful, there was a smile on the court, the strength of the three armies, Xianglan wanted to slander him for arrogance, but he couldn't laugh at it, thinking of Lin Jinlou's line of living, sitting and lying all hugging each other, everyone respectfully helped, the original Jiangnan area was inevitably water bandits, because of him in charge, even suppressed a few nests of bandits, it was too safe and stable, the robbers did not dare to attack, not every son of the family can set up such a career at a young age, and the power is awe-inspiring.

Lin Jinlou suddenly reached out and touched Xianglan's face, as if he didn't know her, looked at her for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Xianglan, you just follow your master to live a good life, don't think nonsense about those who don't have it, okay?" ”

He said this coldly, Xianglan was silent, hugged the cat to his side and touched it for a while, and his heart was empty all of a sudden. Lin Jinlou pinched her hand and didn't speak, the room was quiet for a while, Lin Jinlou let out a sigh, Xianglan raised her head, only to see him looking elsewhere, and said: "Since I was a child, the old lady taught me how to shine on the lintel, the old man is busy with government affairs, and rarely takes care of the family, and the wife said that her life's hope is on me." When I was a child, I practiced literature and martial arts and worked hard, and when I grew up, I was a soldier and fought, and I was born and died several times, and my head was pinned to the waistband of my trousers. He rubbed Xianglan's hand, but didn't look at her, "Maybe I'm old these years, or I've seen a lot of life and death, and now I want to come back and have someone who knows how to feel the heat."

Xianglan only felt that her eyes were hot and red, she immediately lowered her head, and the tears were lost at once, she held back, pretended to hug the kitten, turned sideways and wiped away the tears, and did not match the conversation, only pretended to be nothing: "What did Uncle Hun say, you are prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, why are you old" She raised her head, only to see Lin Jinlou looking at her upright, the two looked at each other quietly for a long time, Xianglan's eyes were red again, the future was confused, she didn't know where to go, and she didn't know what to say, so she had to hide her smile, lowered her head and said: "Uncle, Yongchang Hou is still outside, so it's not good for him to wait for a long time. ”

Lin Jinlou also smiled, stood up, patted Xianglan's head like a kitten, and said: "Yes, it's not good to let him wait, Lao Yuan is older than the master, he didn't shout about the old, how can the master say that he is old." ”

In fact, it is she who is old. In the past few years, the struggle has penetrated deeply into the bones, grinding her into a circle, as if it has made people vicissitudes overnight. She occasionally looks back, only to feel that she is looking at another self, the previous life has gradually become a vague silhouette, and the green years of this life have become yellowed old dreams, all submerged in the rolling red dust, never to be reproduced.

At dusk, Lin Jinlou ordered people to prepare a sedan chair, everyone went to the side of Zhuangzi to enjoy the plum, auspicious, double happiness, longan, etc. held scissors in their hands, holding a bottle in their hands, Lin Jinlou said which branch was good, and then went up to put which branch down, inserted in the bottle. De Ge'er was not interested in flowers, I heard that Zhuangzi caught an eagle, and shouted to see it, Yuan Shaoren was also afraid that he would freeze, so he led him back to see the eagle, as soon as the father and son left, Lin Dongxiu couldn't sit still, and gave Xianglan a look several times, Xianglan took a look at the opportunity, and pretended to say to Lin Jinlou casually: "I talked to the fourth aunt and grandmother at noon today, and she didn't like it in some places in her mother's house." ”

Lin Jinlou cut off a plum blossom and inserted it in the pandan bun, with a casual "oh".

Xianglan said: "I heard that the servants don't listen to the call very much, and the fourth aunt and several old aunts also don't deal with the aunt and grandmother, she is young."

Lin Jinlou is a smart person, he already understood when he heard this, he glanced back at Lin Dongxiu, and snorted: "She opened her mouth with you and asked you to ask the master to support her?" ”

Before Xianglan could speak, she said: "She deserves to be bumped and remembered for a long time, she just got married a few days ago, and made the Yongchang Marquis Mansion a chicken and dog restless, from top to bottom, there is nothing that is not picky, and the things that are reasonable are more and more unforgiving, and the top and bottom almost offend her." Originally, she came to beg the lord once, but the lord thought that she had really been wronged and bullied, and when she turned around and asked Lao Yuan and his aunt, daring to love is not such a thing. You don't care about this, do you hear? Go back and let my wife teach her a lesson. ”

Xianglan nodded, and said in her heart: "No wonder the Marquis of Yongchang treats Lin Dongxiu just plainly politely, and there is a hint of alienation in his attitude and words, it turns out that this is the case." ”

At this time, only the sound of hurried horses' hooves was heard, Lin Jinlou's close guard Wen Rushi rode his horse to the front, turned over without waiting for the horse to stand firm, hurriedly ran to Lin Jinlou's ear, whispered a few words, and Lin Jinlou's face immediately sank. Turning sideways, he ordered, "Escort your aunt and grandmother back." He said to Xianglan again: "Master go back first, you also pack up and go home, and I will bring you here tomorrow." Then he ordered the man to take the horse and turn over and get on the horse.

Xianglan and Lin Dongxiu had to go back. After entering the house, Xue Ning hurriedly sent someone to fetch hot water and pandan to scald her feet, and brought ginger soup from the kitchen. Xianglan put on her shoes and socks, and suddenly felt that something was missing, and couldn't help asking, "What about the kitten?" ”

Xue Ning looked east and west and said, "Fang is still lying on his stomach." While talking and searching, but after looking around, there was still no trace, and his heart sank: "Oops, the door was open when the water was fetched, didn't you run out?" As he spoke, he pushed the door open and went out to find it.

Xianglan also got anxious and said, "It's windy outside, and it's not freezing to death." Regardless of it, he also put on his cloak and went out. At this time, it was pitch black outside, only the lanterns under the corridor were swaying in the wind, Xianglan held the lantern in one hand, whispered, and leaned down to look carefully. When passing through the west wing, she suddenly heard a short and urgent wail from inside, Xianglan stopped, and then listened carefully and there was no sound, she thought she had heard it wrong, and lowered her body, and called "mimi" in her mouth, at this time a louder wail came out, Xianglan was startled, couldn't help but be curious, walked to the root of the west chamber wall, poked the window paper with her fingers and looked in, only to see that the room was brightly lit, Lin Jinlou sat on a Taishi chair, his face was sinking like water, his two extremely trustworthy staff stood on both sides, Wen Rushi stood aside with a whip in his hand. A man fell to the ground tied up with five flowers.

Lin Jinlou snorted coldly, then heard a "snap", and the whip was whipped on the man, and the man screamed again.

"As long as you tell me honestly, who ordered you to come, and what is it to spy on as a staff member in the Lin Mansion, I will spare your life."

The man groaned, "I'm telling the truth."

"Iron mouth and steel teeth, you are still tender for your grandfather." After that, he heard a "click", and the man screamed in great pain, and then he lost his breath, as if he had fainted.

Xianglan was startled, only to feel that her heart was "pounding", and her legs were weak. Lin Jinlou treated her with a pleasant face these days, and she almost forgot that he was so fierce and vicious. At this moment there was a splashing of water, and the man kept moaning, as if he had woken up again, and then he trembled in pain, and tears flowed down his face.

Lin Jinlou said lazily: "What's the matter?" Can you talk to Ye Haosheng? ”

“”

"Don't say? Then he will cut off another arm of you. ”

"No, no, don't" just heard the "click", the man screamed so miserably that he couldn't suppress the cry in his throat. Xianglan didn't dare to listen anymore, leaned against the wall, trembling her legs and wanted to go back, but heard the man crying intermittently: "The villain was instructed by Lord Dai"

"Lord Dai? Which Dai-sama? ”

"Lord Dai Qingdai of the Hanlin Academy."

Lin Jinlou was stunned, he only knew that Dai Qing married Zhao Yuechan to fill the house, and the two had no contact on weekdays, so he asked, "What did he tell you to do?" ”

"Lord Dai suspected that the general had an old relationship with the former prince, secretly rebelled, reported the matter to the second prince, and asked the little one to go to the general's mansion as a staff member to find out the inside story"

Only this sentence "former prince" and "rebellion" shocked Xianglan to take a few steps back, she hurriedly ran back with her skirt, and in the panic, the skirt tripped her leg and fell to the ground, and the people in the house were immediately alert, Wen Rushi shouted: "Who?" He pulled out his knife and jumped out.

When Xianglan saw the blade, she couldn't help but scream in fright, Wen Rushi saw that it was the one in the master's room, and quickly put the knife away, Lin Jinlou walked out with a calm face, pulled Xianglan up, and said hatefully: "What the are you doing here?" Striding back to the bedroom with her armpits, she threw her on the kang, wrinkled her eyebrows and pointed loudly: "If you dare to run around again, you will try, you will eat the gall of the ambitious leopard!" He turned around and left, and went out and slammed the door of Mingtang with a bang.

Xianglan was cold, and she trembled to wrap the cloak tighter, but she couldn't stop shivering. In her previous life, her grandfather was the former prince's mentor, and Mrs. Lin was also valued by the prince that day, is it possible, is it possible that the Lin family really taught and received it privately with the former prince? He supports the army and respects himself, is it really to rebel against the prince? If he broke this matter by himself, would Lin Jinlou move his killing intent and kill her?

At this time, Xue Ning walked in and smiled briskly: "Grandma, I found this little thing, I was so naughty that I hid in a pair of uncle's boots." As he spoke, he handed the cat over, and said strangely: "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" There was also a cloak in the house. One line said, and the other line quickly moved the brazier over.

Xianglan was holding the cat in her arms, and the tears couldn't help but flow, but she hurriedly held back. I don't know how long it took, Lin Jinlou came back and saw Xianglan still sitting on the kang with the cat in her arms, and the kitten had fallen asleep. Lin Jinlou stepped forward as if nothing had happened, grabbed the cat and put it aside, and the kitten turned around, fell asleep again. Lin Jinlou saw her appearance and knew that she was broken, so he laughed and said in a low voice: "You said that you don't stay in the house well, what are you doing running out in the dark?" Well? Fang just caught a spy, the inner courtyard was quiet, and the west wing room was empty, so the master brought it in to ask questions, I knew it would scare you, and I won't bring it in next time. ”

Xianglan didn't dare to look at him, thinking that Fang Cai was still frowning, this time it will be okay, look at this situation, I don't think I will do anything to myself. At this time, she couldn't help it, choked up and cried.

Lin Jinlou took her in his arms and patted her, was silent for a while, and whispered to the root of her ear: "You are afraid, the Lin family has never thought of rebellion." Now that the Lin family is in the limelight, and the saint is also sitting firmly, why bother? ”

Xianglan whispered: "Then this matter"

Lin Jinlou gritted his teeth secretly, and a smile still appeared on his face: "Don't worry about it, I have this matter." He stood up and turned to go out.

(In this chapter, I know that many people will have all kinds of speculations, and again, the Lin family will not fall, and Lin Jinlou will not be unlucky because of this~ The plot has been adjusted these days, and it is a bit stuck, so it is more now, sorry.) Xiao He has a certain wave of Weibo, just search for He Yan Mountain. ）RS
