Lin Jinlou stretched out his arm, took Xianglan into his arms, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

On the second day, Lin Jinlou still got up before dawn to practice martial arts, Xianglan slept for a while before getting up, and the maids had already prepared the application for bathing.

The painting fan first handed a cup of warm tea to eat with pandan, and pandan ate the tea and went to bathe behind the screen.

After washing for a while, Lingqing held a lotus lotus-colored embroidered plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum jacket and a dark green cotton silk skirt, and said, "Grandma, do you like these two?" ”

Xianglan saw that her clothes were smooth and not as if they had been pressed in the cage for a long time, and Zhilingqing had already sprayed soju and ironed it, so she nodded and changed her clothes. Xue Ning rubbed his teeth with green salt, and Lingsu held a spittoon. After the washing was finished, Lingqing took the topaz beauty cream that was applied to the face, and Xianglan used a small hosta stick to pick out some evening face.

This painting fan has already held an octagonal box inlaid with foreign lacquer and peonies, and opened the purse, jade pendant, and waist pendant of one color inside, and Lingqing picked three things to tie on Xianglan's waist. Xue Ning held a square box with the same color pattern, which contained various colored bracelets, please Xianglan to choose, Xianglan picked a pair of jasper, Xue Ning smiled: "Now it is fashionable to wear three bracelets in one hand, one jade and one gold, and then wear a coral or tortoiseshell in the middle." After speaking, he took two pairs and put them on Xianglan's wrists.

At this time, Xiaojuan rubbed his eyes and entered the house, and saw that Xianglan had been freshened up, so he stepped forward, took a boxwood comb in one hand, and said with a smile: "This way is too tired, I fell asleep this morning, I will comb my grandmother's hair." "Xiaojuan combs his hair and bun is always fast and good, and he will think about new tricks, and he ordered the painting fan to hold the big round box with the hairpin ring hairpin, pick out jewelry to comb Xianglan's hair, and finally cut a peony inserted in the big porcelain bottle on the side, and put it on the bun.

The painting fan watched intently from the side, stuck out his tongue, and whispered to Xue Ning beside him: "Grandma is so good-looking, and it looks better if she wears these pearls and flowers." It's better than the Guanyin dressed at the temple fair. ”

"My wife said that the ladies in the house were not as good as their grandmothers when they were tied together." Xue Ning covered the jewelry box and locked it one by one with a copper lock, "In my opinion, not only in the house, but also in the house, there are many young ladies who come and go in the house, and I don't see anyone who is stronger than grandma." There are also some eyebrows and eyes that are well born. But the style of the body is not as good as ......" said and sighed, and the second half of the sentence "It's a pity for this background" swallowed into his stomach.

The painting fan pouted: "Grandma is easy-going." It's just that the uncle is a bit fierce, which makes people feel uncomfortable panting. ”

Xianglan heard this sentence, thinking that the painting fan was only ten years old, and she was still childish, so she beckoned her to her side, grabbed a handful of fruit and ate it with her, comforted her again, touched her head, and asked her how she slept at night. Have you ever used to it, etc.

The painting fan answered one by one, and said that Xue Ning gave her two small clothes, both of which were still new, and her eyebrows were dancing, only to see Lin Jinlou walk in, with her arms open. Carrying a knife, he shouted thirst when he entered the door, and ordered someone to watch tea. The painting fan was shocked, his eyes widened, and he stammered: "Grandma, I, I'll go to the kitchen to serve food." "Shrunk his neck and swished. Runs faster than a bunny.

Lin Jinlou couldn't help but be stunned when he saw a little maid running away from him quickly.

Xianglan was afraid that he would be angry, so she hurriedly stood up and said, "I asked her to go to the kitchen to take a look." ”

Lin Jinlou sat down with a "hum" and said: "Sure enough, whose maid is like who, you Chen family are all rats, cowardly as mice, and it is like seeing a ghost when you see your master." Saying that, he took the tea, poured a breath and said, "I'll go to my second brother after dinner, it is supposed that they should come over, but my second brother is in poor health, let's go over later." After saying that, he went to the screen and scrubbed it, and changed his clothes again.

After eating, Xianglan went to the courtyard where Lin Jinxuan lived with Lin Jinlou, the yard was huge, and the flowers and trees were flourishing, all kinds of roses climbed a wall, and there were two cats lazily lying on their stomachs at the door basking in the sun.

Xianglan praised: "This place has a good spring. ”

Shuran smiled when he heard this: "Originally, the second master didn't live here, but lived in the wing of the main house. Later, when he wanted to marry, he opened up two courtyards, rebuilt one place, and moved it over. ”

Saying that, the two followed Lin Jinlou and stepped into the courtyard, only to see that there were already two maids wearing red and green standing in the courtyard, and when they saw Lin Jinlou, they hurriedly opened the curtain and said: "The second master has been talking for a long time, and the uncle is here." ”

When everyone entered, they saw a slender man sitting in the hall, with delicate eyebrows and sparse eyes, white skin and uprightness, elegant and elegant, similar to Lin Changzheng, but his cheeks were sick, and he seemed to have a deficiency. When he saw them come in, he hurriedly got up and saluted, "Big brother is here." ”

There was a tall young woman beside him, and another woman over forty years of age, who saw him get up, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to help him.

Lin Jinlou also took two steps and said, "Why be polite between brothers, sit down." ”

After taking a seat, the tall woman stepped forward to give Lin Jinlou tea first, and this person was Lin Jinxuan's newly married wife Tan. Xianglan saw that she was born white, her face was like a silver basin, her eyes were like apricots, a few sparse and slightly numb, but she was a little pretty, wearing a golden silk bun, a golden phoenix with pearls, a gold collar on her neck, a red Baizi dress, a red bottom sprinkled with flowers, a waist like willows, breast enlargement and shaving back, this dress is a lamp person, with two points of grace and handsomeness.

Lin Jinlou took the tea, and the book dye on the side immediately stuffed a very thick red envelope for Tan's family. Lin Jinlou took the tea, took a bite and said: "Before I came, the old lady specially instructed that if you marry in, the elders are all in Jinling, and I am afraid that I have wronged you." ”

Tan Shi hurriedly said: "The ancestors of Lao are worried, it really torments me. As he spoke, he hurriedly asked the maids to lay out the kneeling mats and kowtowed in the direction of Jinling.

Lin Jinlou only felt that this Tan family understood the rules and obeyed the rules, so he couldn't help nodding and smiling at Tan.

Tan's heart jumped suddenly, his face turned red, and he stood aside with his head down.

Lin Jinlou didn't pay attention, pointed to Xianglan and said to Lin Jinxuan: "This is your new sister-in-law." He pointed at Xianglan one by one: "This is my second brother, this is my second brother and sister, and this is my father's aunt Yin." "Xianglan will see you one by one.

That Aunt Yin was born with a melon seed face, but she could see that she was quite beautiful when she was young, and she was in shape, but she looked older than the Qin family, with a flattering smile on her face, and when she heard Lin Jinlou introduce Xianglan, she glanced at Lin Jinxuan and smiled diligently: "Such a standard, born like a flower, such a character, the ladies in the capital can't find one!" ”

Lin Jinxuan thought of something else. Although his eldest brother is famous and very romantic, his vision is also very high, and all he uses in the room are some beautiful maids, but there is only one Qinglan, who is the aunt who was brought in by his mother-in-law. Qinglan had an extremely beautiful life in the capital that day, and everyone respected her as a serious grandmother, but in this case, his eldest brother had never seen her so solemnly, and asked him to call her "little sister-in-law", which showed that this woman was very favored and extraordinary. After looking at it again, he was born with twelve points of color, his manners were good, he didn't dare to slack off, and he was very solemn and saluted.

Pandan is sideways and is not affected.

Aunt Yin saw that Lin Jinlou was only sitting and smiling, and she couldn't help but be angry, and said secretly: "Where did this little fox spirit come from, not a serious grandmother, who actually let a young master like my son condescend to salute!" But she didn't dare to offend Lin Jinlou, so she could only stand with her mouth closed.

At one time, Lin Jinlou asked Lin Jinxuan how his health was, what medicine he had taken, and whether he had studied recently.

Lin Jinxuan said: "I had a minor illness during the change of seasons in winter and spring, and now I am also very good, I invited the doctor from the Tai Hospital to take a look, and changed the prescription again, and it is appropriate to warm up for it, these days are much better, and the old disease has not been committed again, but there are night sweats at night." I picked up the book and read it again in the past few days...... I still want to try again next year. ”

Lin Jinlou said: "It's important to take care of your body, it's not in a hurry to study, go back and donate an official, if you want to go to Hanlin Academy, our family is not without a way." ”

Lin Jinxuan greeted the elders in the family again, Lin Jinlou also said one by one, and gossiped again, seeing that Lin Jinxuan was tired, Lin Jinlou got up and said goodbye.

On the way back, Xianglan thought that Lin Jinxuan was a weak person, and he was going to be thin into a handful of bones. The bride Tan is a handsome person, and she is still the concubine of a four-grade civil official, Xianglan privately estimated, with Tan's background and appearance, she would never find a frail and sickly concubine like Lin Jinxuan as her husband, thinking in her heart, she said it with the book in her mouth.

Lin Jinlou paused, turned his head, and sneered: "Although Tan Siye is a fourth-grade civil official, he can offend Shangfeng in a poor and remote country, and there is no hope for promotion in the future. Otherwise, how could he send his daughter up, at the latest next year, my father will recommend him to Shandong, although he will not rise or fall, but it is a rich place. Originally, he wanted to marry his daughter in, but his grandfather didn't look good, this Tan family is the best in the Tan family's girls, I heard that the needle refers to female workers, backgammon chess players, and a good Yueqin, my father personally saw it, so he ordered her. ”

Xianglan was stunned and said, "Then if she doesn't want to ......"

"Fart, how could she not be willing, she hurriedly agreed."

Xianglan said secretly: "I'm afraid that I will be happy when I agree, but when I get married, I find that Lin Jinxuan is such a body, and it is too late to think about it." ”

Saying that he had arrived at the courtyard where the two of them lived, Lin Jinlou pinched Xianglan's face and said, "Go back and rest, and when you are done, you will take you out for a walk." After another pause, he coughed again, and said: "The second child is simple-hearted, but his aunt is troublesome, and you can take care of the people on his side if you want, and you don't like to ignore them." ”

Xianglan lowered her head and said "um".

Lin Jinlou was angry in his heart, and said in his heart that this woman, what kind of heart, she even thought of this for her, so she said "um"? The woman next to him had already looked at him affectionately. His face sank at the moment, and he said with a dark face: "That master is gone." ”

Shuran saw it clearly, only stood aside and pretended to be dead, wanting to mention some pandan, but he didn't dare.

Xianglan saw that Lin Jinlou was still not leaving, so she had nothing to say and said, "Uncle is back for lunch?" This is a question, because he said it lightly, Lin Jinlou listened like Xianglan left him to go back to eat at noon, and his face improved immediately, and said, "Well, come back." After speaking, Shi Shiran turned around and went.
