It was already the time for Lin Jinlou to return to Changchun Hall, and Jiang Shangxian talked with him for a long time, his attitude was sincere, he apologized, and he also asked for a large sum of silver to make amends. Lin Jinlou sneered in his heart, Jiang Shangxian is a character, and he still has an atmospheric appearance in doing things, but it is a pity that he was reincarnated in the wrong person.

He bypassed the screen and went to the bedroom, only Xue Ning and Lingqing were guarding the room, the two of them hurriedly stood up, Lin Jinlou lifted the bed curtain, Xianglan was still asleep, and asked, "How is your grandmother?" ”

Xue Ning said: ", Imperial Doctor Zhang instructed to take medicine every two hours, and he had already eaten it once, and after eating a few mouthfuls of jujube tea, he fell asleep this time. ”

Lin Jinlou nodded, hung the bed curtain on the small silver hook and sat down, Lingqing offered tea and then retreated with Xue Ning. The candle flame on the gilded orchid lantern flickered, reflecting the face of pandan yellow. She was still leaning on the brocade smoky red pillow, the green silk was scattered, and her face became smaller and smaller, like a ball of white jade, beautiful and beautiful, lying there with a bed of makeup and flowers, like a flower that had weathered a storm, delicate and haggard.

Lin Jinlou looked at it for a long time, and his anxious and irritable heart gradually calmed down. Who would have thought that such a weak girl would be so generous and tough, seeing that the mind is far beyond the reach of ordinary women, he has always felt strange, how could a slave couple like the Chen family raise such a daughter, like a quiet orchid blooming in the ruins, struggling for many wind and rain, still growing tenaciously, let him suddenly have a sense of respect. Now he finally knows why Xianglan wants to go out, but even if he puts a knife on his neck, he can't agree to it!

He couldn't help but reach out and touch Xianglan's face, brushing away the broken hair on her sideburns. Xianglan woke up, blinked worriedly, and couldn't help but be startled when she saw Lin Jinlou, her eyes widened, Lin Jinlou's temperament was uncertain, and today she openly proposed to leave, for fear that Lin Jinlou would get angry again. Lin Jinlou said kindly: "Awake? Hungry or not? How about boiling jujube porridge in the small kitchen and eating a bowl? Imperial Physician Zhang said that you have to replenish qi and blood. ”

Xianglan thought she was dreaming, stared at Lin Jinlou for a long time, and then saw him with a slight smile on his face: "It's better to eat some, it's good to take medicine after padding your stomach." As he spoke, he reached out and took the pillow, raised her body, and brought her a bowl of red date tea to feed her.

Xianglan was stunned, isn't Lin Jinlou stupid? Seeing Lin Jinlou put down the tea bowl again, he called Lingqing in, ordered a bowl of porridge, and fed it to Xianglan one bite at a time, staring at her all the time.

Xianglan was uncomfortable, stretched out her hand and said, "I'll eat it myself, it's not that my hand is broken." ”

Lin Jinlou said: "No, you have a good rest, and the master will serve you once." After that, he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Master treats you so well, are you moved?" Rejoice? ”

Xianglan felt really naïve and boring, she was uncomfortable, and she didn't bother to admit it, so she couldn't help but sarcastically say: "You can actually be a little low, you are not the uncle of the Lin family." ”

"Oh? So who am I? ”

"A ghost who has drawn a skin, a male vixen who has become a human."

Lin Jinlou couldn't help laughing: "Okay, scolding the master for being a skin ghost and a fox spirit, and turning around will make you angry." ”

Xianglan smiled faintly: "Uncle don't be angry, now there are many people outside who scold me for being a fox spirit, and I have already avenged my uncle." ”

After saying this, Lin Jinlou couldn't laugh, Xianglan was still pale, weak and haggard, the room was filled with a smell of medicine, the anger in his heart rose again, put the bowl on the side, grabbed Xianglan's little hand and shook it hard, and only after a while did he speak: "Jiang Xiyun came to apologize to you, and then paid five thousand taels of silver." ”

"Five thousand taels? I didn't think I was worth so much."

Lin Jinlou didn't feel good when he heard this, pressed his index finger on Xianglan's lips, and said after a while: "You have been wronged in this matter, and the master will naturally call the shots for you." If only you could have children in the future, otherwise hum. Good things don't go out and evil things go a thousand miles, smarter people can naturally see the way out, the Jiang family has this reputation, it will be more difficult to recover in the future, the Lin family will never lend a hand again, if Jiang Shang fights first, the Jiang family still has some hope. ”

Pandan lowered her eyelashes and said nothing.

Lin Jinlou looked at her for a long time, and suddenly asked, "How can you be so clear about the affairs of the Shen family?" You weren't born when the Shen family had an accident? ”

Xianglan raised her eyes and looked at Lin Jinlou and said: "I had a dream, I was the eldest lady of the Shen family in my last life, and I also discussed marriage with you, but the marriage was successful, and I married someone else, and then the Shen family was involved in trouble, and I couldn't die well." ”

Lin Jinlou stared at her with wide eyes, the expression on his face was unfathomable, the two looked at each other for a long time, and the room was so quiet that the needles could be heard.

Xianglan tugged at the corners of her mouth, and smiled reluctantly: "I'm playing with my uncle, how can there be such a thing, my master Dingyi Shitai used to be an official eunuch, and she had an old relationship with the Shen family, I listened to her." ”

Lin Jinlou suddenly leaned down and kissed Xianglan on the mouth. Xianglan raised her head in surprise, Lin Jinlou smiled and said: "Maybe that's your last life, it can be seen that you are destined to follow the master, and if you follow others, you will not end well." ”

Xianglan smiled reluctantly and lowered her head. Lin Jinlou saw Xianglan's sad expression, frowned unconsciously, and pinched Xianglan's hand again.

Early in the morning of the second day, Jiang Xiyun came to apologize in person, and Xianglan was still in her ears when she asked questions, which really made her reluctant to look back, standing outside the screen, and making three bows to her skirt, she hurried away with the maid, as if there was a ghost behind her. Ling Qing sneered: "It's really cheap, the Jiang family." ”

Xue Ning said in a low voice: "The Jiang family's carriage is parked outside, and it will leave immediately!" The luggage was packed overnight. Mrs. Jiang was going to die, and she coughed all night. There is also Miss Jiang Si, who has been hot all over her body since she went back yesterday, and her mouth is full of nonsense. ”

Ling Qing sighed and said: "This is really a sentence 'Be a man and don't hide treachery, there is a piece of sky on your head', thinking that the means will be cheap, but in fact, God has a long eye." ”

There is little gossip, but it is said that Xianglan is recuperating in the house, Lin Dongqi sends things every other day, Tan Luhua and Lin Dongxiu come to visit from time to time, and the two of them guessed the reason, and asked about Xianglan, Xianglan always didn't answer, just smiled, and asked ruthlessly, so she said: "Mrs. and Uncle won't let me say." "Prevaricate with this. Tan Luhua heard the girls mention that Xianglan drank the potion made of the "Broken Child and Sun Pill", and was shocked, knowing that this medicine was the bag she had lost, and was picked up by the Jiang sisters.

But said that more than a month has passed since the exhibition of eyes, this day Aunt Xia is teaching Lin Dongxiu, just thinking, Xue Ning came in, holding a lacquer tray in her hand, there are seven or eight kinds of delicate snow blooming boxes, and said with a smile: "The fat powder that came in from outside, all kinds of styles, my aunt said that the girl will be the bride, please ask the girl to pick two boxes first." ”

Lin Dongxiu opened the box one by one, and saw that the purple powder made of rice flour, or the butterfly powder made of fine corn, or the peach blossom powder mixed with the shell musk deer and motherwort, or the pearl powder made of jasmine kernels, or the hosta powder made of hosta flowers, etc., and so on, the powder is made of round, square, or star anise, or sunflower petals, and the concave and convex plum blossoms, orchids and lotus patterns are pressed on it, wrapped in silk cloth, and the fragrance is fragrant.

Lin Dongxiu said happily: "It's so exquisite, it's really amazing, thank your aunt and grandmother for me." After picking two boxes, Xue Ning said goodbye and went to Tan Luhua.

Aunt Xia said: "There are dealings, my aunt gave the girl two boxes of fat powder, and the girl can't bear it." ”

Lin Dongxiu said: "This is exactly the principle. "Find and take out two very fine sachets, and order Rose to send them.

Aunt Xia smiled and bowed slightly.

Not long after, Lin Dongxiu heard Rose talking to Tan Luhua's maid Caifeng outside the window and said: "Just now I went to Changchun Hall to deliver something, and I saw a box of jewelry that the uncle just gave to my aunt and grandmother. ”

Caifeng was reprimanded by Tan Luhua for losing the medicine, and didn't even mention the matter of promoting her to be Lin Jinxuan's aunt, and she was not happy when she heard Han Zhi's words, so she couldn't help but turn out the words in her heart and said: "Don't blame me for saying something that I don't like to hear, Chen Xianglan is a slave seed, but she treats herself as a young lady, the uncle is high and powerful, ordinary people don't even have eyelids, and she can be promoted as an aunt, and the ancestral tomb of 'fool who is admitted to the champion Lang' will be smoking." But she is still pretentious, with that energy, what does she want to do? Do you want to be a big grandmother? Dream on! ”

Rose smiled: "Don't say that, you can't keep the family from what will happen in the future." ”

Caifeng sneered: "No matter how much you have creation, you are born as a slave, you cast the wrong mother's belly at the beginning, no matter how much the snake wants to be a dragon, you have to look up to yourself, you can get on the table, and it is also the life of the dish!" ”

Before she could say a word, she saw a teacup thrown out of the window and shattered on the ground with a "pop", startling the two of them, Lin Dongxiu scolded: "Who is chewing the root of the tongue outside?" ”

Caifeng didn't dare to speak, stuck out her tongue and quietly left.

Lin Dongxiu sneered: "How can the master's affairs be chewed like this, and the second sister-in-law doesn't care." Because Xianglan treats Lin Dongxiu solidly, the two have gradually become close, and Lin Jinlou has a good face for Lin Dongxiu, and has added a lot of dowry. Today, I heard someone say that pandan is not good, so Lin Dongxiu started to maintain it.

Aunt Xia secretly said in her heart: "'The paper can't contain the fire', as soon as Xianglan got sick, the Jiang family moved away in a hurry, and even the negotiated marriage was no longer mentioned, and I can probably guess a thing or two about the dirty things." Tsk, but pity Chen Xianglan, these days I look at it coldly, it is really a jewel covered with dust, and my life is out of control, but there is no unbreakable circle in this world, and the minions have a narrow vision, how do you know that Xianglan will not be Huang Tengda really the master in the future? It's hateful that people are soft-spoken, otherwise I would have to help her. "No problem.

Another month passed, and the Jiang family's mourners reported the news that Jiang's mother was seriously ill and died. RS
