But said that on this day, from the capital Lin Mansion from the side door to carry a small sedan chair, the sedan chair stopped, immediately gathered seven or eight mothers-in-law, the sedan curtain opened, out of which came out of a woman in her thirties, born beautiful, with a lot of oil on her head, although dressed plainly, but very noble. The woman was followed by a little girl, with a bun on her head, dressed in a pale green shirt, and carrying two burdens in her hands, and her expression was quite reserved.

Everyone led the two to Changchun Hall, and the painting fan was standing at the door, hurriedly raising the curtain, and called out: "Grandma, Aunt Xia has arrived." "That Aunt Xia entered the house, only to see that the Ming Hall is extremely wide and beautiful, the table circumference, the chair is all made of silk, but the color is half new and not old, there are maids who come in to offer tea, and when they listen to the ring, they come out of the inner room A beauty, wearing a lotus lotus embroidered double butterfly play flower gown, a bean duck color flower skirt, only two or three fulcrums of emerald beads are used on the head, and Aunt Xia said hello with a smile, and said: "All the way, thank you for your hard work." He smiled and gave up his seat.

It turned out that Lin Dongxiu's marriage to Yuan Shaoren was considered a high climb, and the Qin family was afraid that Lin Dongxiu would have fewer rules, or that he would be laughed at if he was not careful, which would cause Yuan Lin's two families to be discordant, and it would not be beautiful, so he took him to teach him every day, but this discipline, the two sides inevitably had suspicions. Qin sent a letter to his mother's family, asking his parents, brother and sister-in-law to find an old grandmother who knew the rules and knew how to raise her. The Qin family's maiden family is a prominent family in Beijing, and it didn't take long for them to really inquire. After the first emperor's daughter Princess Chongning got married, she died at a young age, and after her death, several palace maids around her gave grace and let them out, this Aunt Xia is one of them, although she is young, but she has served as a female official in the palace, and she served Princess Chongning in the early years, and came out to marry the princess guard, because her husband was related to the Qin family, the Qin family sent someone to invite. Her husband was reluctant to let her go. Aunt Xia said: "The princess is gone, you and I have no backer, you are just a petty official in Jiumen, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, but there is no scenery before." Lin Jinlou is very capable, he plays a pivotal role in the army, he coughed, the entire Jiangnan will be shaken three times, and now there is this opportunity to climb his house, so the fool will not go. What's more, he also has a father who is a feudal official. Even if it's not for the two of us, we have to plan for our children, and form this good fate, whether it's my brother's study in the future, whether it's martial arts, or my sister's kiss, there are many ways, isn't it? What's more, the reward given by the Lin family is also generous, which is worth the money you earn for two years. When her husband heard this, he turned around and urged her in every way.

Aunt Xia had heard that there was a concubine in Lin Jinlou's room, and her appearance was extremely beautiful, and Lin Jinlou treated her differently from others. Xianglan said: "Mrs. instructed four or five times in the letter, saying that my aunt is a distinguished guest and wants us to treat her carefully. It will take a few days for the wife and the girl to enter Beijing, and the place where the aunt lives has already been settled, so it is better to settle down first, and what else needs to be used is just to say. ”

Aunt Xia said: "Thanks to my wife, I can afford it, and Aunt Lao and Grandma bother." Immediately took the little girl out. Shuran personally led people to the Amphibious Pavilion, and smiled at Aunt Xia: "This was originally a new house for the third master, and the third master returned to Jinling with his wife, and now this new house is reserved for the four girls, and it is also full of joy, and the masters mean to let the aunt also live here, get along with the four girls day and night, and teach her." ”

Aunt Xia bowed slightly, Shuran led the person to the room on the left, all kinds of utensils were readily available, and the bed was hung with a lilac-colored double-embroidered grape curtain. Aunt Xia sat down on the edge of the bed, and the little girl Fang Fei unfolded her burden, put the change of clothes in the cabinet, put the freshened stationery on the table, and said: "This Lin family is really interesting, let a little concubine come to the master's house, let's come back, I thought it was the second grandmother of the Lin family who came to see it." ”

Aunt Xia said: "This is a family matter, and you are not allowed to talk too much." ”

Fang Fei stuck out her tongue and stopped talking. In fact, Aunt Xia thought the same as Fang Fei in her heart, but she came this time, first, to teach Lin Dongxiu, second, to climb with the Lin family, and third, to earn the silver, so she made up her mind to only pretend to be deaf and dumb about the big and small things in the Lin Mansion, and ignored them. The master and servant settled down and left it alone.

But after four or five days, Qin's carriage arrived, and everyone shouted and hugged to take people to Rongshoutang, and Qin sat upright on the top of the head, and the red paper was paved with a prayer mat. Lin Jinlou and Lin Jinxuan came over to greet first, then Tan Luhua, followed by Aunt Yin and Xianglan. Lin Dongxiu gave gifts to his brother and sister-in-law respectively.

Xianglan stood at the door, only to see that the Ming Hall was quiet, everyone stood with their hands down, only to see the Qin family sitting upright, such a majestic manner, which was incomparable to the wives of ordinary rich and noble families.

Qin first greeted Lin Jinxuan a few words, and asked him how he was doing, what medicine he had taken recently, he could sleep peacefully at night, and what kind of illness the doctor had taken care of. Lin Jinxuan replied respectfully, and Qin smiled and said: "Good boy, poor one, I see that your spirit is more than before, it can be seen that you are married to a daughter-in-law, don't stop your few tonics, a recipe has been circulated from the palace recently, I am taking that medicine, I feel that it is useful, I will invite a doctor to come and take a look, if you can eat, you can also eat and eat." ”

Lin Jinxuan hurriedly said: "I'm tired of my mother, I think about my son in everything, and my son is really grateful." ”

Qin Shi only smiled and said nothing, only looking at Tan Luhua. Just now Tan Luhua had already made a big salute and was only standing next to him. Qin looked up and down again, and said with a smile: "What a neat child, when you entered the door, I was not with the master, so I inevitably wronged you." He glanced at Lu Yan, and Lu Yan immediately handed a sandalwood box to Tan Luhua. Qin said with a smile: "It's just a little bit of our elder's heart. ”

Tan Luhua hurriedly bowed down and thanked him, but Qin only smiled faintly. Everyone dispersed for a while, and the Qin family left Lin Jinlou to talk in the house, ordered Xianglan to wait outside, and after a while, Xianglan was called in. I saw Qin sitting on the bed, holding a small pink cup in his hand. Lin Jinlou was crooked on the pillow of the Luohan bed, and when he saw Xianglan, he beckoned: "Go, wait for the wife." ”

Xianglan walked over, and the Qin family ordered her to sit on the small pestle under the bed, looked at her carefully, and said: "I heard Brother Lou say that there are many big and small things in the family that make you work, not only Brother Ting'er's wedding banquet, but also the things in Aunt Xia's house a few days ago. ”

Xianglan couldn't figure out the Qin family's joy and anger, but she didn't care about these in her heart, but she couldn't help but stand up, hang her hand and say, "It's all my arrogance, and I haven't been thoughtful and proper." ”

Lin Jinlou said: "Mrs. is praising you, what are you afraid of." Looking at Qin, he said, "Isn't it?" ”

Mother Wu stood aside, and said with a smile: "Listen, Mrs. didn't say anything, this is still protected." ”

Lin Jinlou smiled silently.

Qin glanced at Lin Jinlou and said to Xianglan: "You have worked hard these days, go back and reward you, I also brought someone here, you can see who it is." As he spoke, he pointed to the side, Chunling was standing there, saluting Xianglan from afar, and whispered in his mouth: "Grandma." ”

Xianglan was stunned, when Chunling relied on two points of face, and she made her temperament to take Qiao, she never expected that Xianglan was a clay man and still had three points of earthiness, so she was really annoyed and left her in Jinling. Xianglan looked at Chunling, her heart was particularly complicated, she was a person who missed the old love, and she was really grateful to Chunling for treating her kindly, but this person relied on grace and coerced her, bullied her, and even had sharp teeth and sharp mouth, sex like charcoal fire, every time she provoked trouble, she was annoyed.

Qin Shi only smiled and said: "I know that this girl has been with you for a long time, and her relationship is unusual, and I happened to bring her here this time." He waved his hand and said, "I just came to my house, and I have been making trouble for a long time, and I am tired, so I want to take a rest, you guys go." ”

After everyone dispersed, Qin changed into homely clothes and crooked on the bed, ordered Hongzhi to beat his legs with a beauty's fist, and asked Wu's mother with half-closed eyes: "What do you look at today's market?" ”

Mother Wu thought for a while, and said carefully: "Look at what it means, the uncle hasn't let go of his hand yet." Xianglan is very smart and cautious, Mrs. said that she worries about family affairs, she does not take credit, and she is not humble, and the first sentence she says is that she has transgressed, which shows that she is a smart and measured person. ”

Qin closed his eyes, as if he was about to fall asleep, and it took a long time for him to say "um", wave his hand and send Mother Wu away. Seeing Qin's tiredness, Hongjian put the beauty fist aside, took a thin blanket, covered it lightly, and saw Qin's turn over, as if to say to himself: "Know the proportion, she can be accommodated in the house in the future, and there will be a place to stand...... nothing happened for a while.

In the afternoon, the Qin family saw Aunt Xia, entrusted Lin Dongxiu to her, and sent people to send the gifts brought from Jinling one by one. Xianglan followed the Qin family's gift and reward is not unusual, it is rare that Lin Dongxiu actually prepared a gift for her, not two cans of new tea or a box of flowers and other perfunctory things, but an embroidered screen of magnolia butterflies, which is a very detailed object. Xianglan looked at the screen and thought to herself that if it weren't for Lin Dongxiu's intention to befriend her from now on because she saved her, she wanted to show her goodwill to Lin Jinlou. She thought about it for a while, and felt that she shouldn't think of people as such snobbish, so Lin Dongxiu was grateful for it, and she also gave back a new woven gold belt.

This Tan Luhua also got Qin's things, just in the Shouxi Hall, Qin rewarded her with a sandalwood box, went back to open it, and saw that it was a pair of red gold Fulu hairpins inlaid with jasper, and then the green man sent a ruler, two boxes of good medicine, and a pack of small silver ingots. Tan Luhua was overjoyed, weighed the silver ingots one by one, wrapped them up again, and said: "This kind of generous and elegant behavior is the appearance of a serious wife." It's not like some, it's disgusting, but with the false name of the half-pulled master, he dares to take it big in front of the serious master, and he is a mother-in-law, and he is not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue. Luluo was pouring tea on the side, and when she heard this, she couldn't help frowning, and quietly pulled Tan Luhua by the hand, so that her eyes quietly pointed to the outside of the compartment, where Siro was sitting there doing needlework. Tan Luhua raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "It's just for her, I'm afraid she won't listen!" With a snort, he packed up the money and locked it in the cupboard.

Siluo really reported this to Aunt Yin, and Aunt Yin was so angry that she didn't eat dinner while lying on the bed, so she didn't mention it for the time being.
