114 Provocation

Lin Dongya only cared about intimacy with the man, but did not see Xianglan, and the two of them went to the back of the rockery in a flash. Xianglan said secretly: "This Lin Dongyan is a bold person, and he dares to openly teach and receive private things with men at home." The Lin family is also a big family, and the young lady raised cannot be said to be gold and jade, and there should always be an individual, and now they have done such an untalented thing, which shows that the family style is not as good as before. This is a place of right and wrong, and it is better to leave quickly. Then he paused and walked back, picked up another way, and left it alone.

said that the Lin family was very lively at this time. Although he is still in the filial piety of the old lady Zeng, Lin Jinlou's promotion to the fourth rank general is more noisy than usual, and there is an endless stream of people who come to the door to pay New Year's greetings, like a marquee. Lin Jinlou went out early in the morning to pay New Year's greetings, and did not return until noon, leading a few friends who walked around daily to have dinner at home, because it was not good to invite the opera troupe to sing on stage, so he turned silver from Yihong Courtyard and Lichun Pavilion respectively with a small sedan chair to raise the head of the red girl, and called a few girls who could play and sing at home, and hugged the silk and bamboo orchestra to play behind the screen. For a while, it is also full of spring.

Lin Jinlou was crooked on the pillow of the Luohan bed, half-squinting, watching a few people at the wine table guess the boxing order, and make fun in every way. Lichun Pavilion's famous Ji Bao Hong sat next to him, peeled the orange in his hand, and fed it to him one by one. The wine table is full of some official eunuchs, one of whom is called Wu Liang, is the only son of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang patrols, seventeen years old this year, doted on by the elders in the family, used to be a prodigal who eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, but has a belly of heart, and tries his best to make friends with Lin Jinlou. Seeing that Lin Jinlou ignored him, he made love next to Lin Jinting.

Lin Jinting didn't drink much, and after being poured a few cups, his mind was dazed, and his speech was incoherent, so Lin Jinlou said: "Little San'er, don't drink anymore, let the little guy help you to lie down." Before the words fell, two handsome little men stepped forward to help, and Wu Liang hurriedly set up Lin Jinting and said: "It's me who should fight, pour Brother Lin to drink so much wine, or let me help me go." ”

Lin Jinlou was noncommittal, and only took a sip of ginseng tea from the bowl brought by the red. Wu Liang helped Lin Jinting to go back, and when he arrived at the verandah, Lin Jinting was blown by the cold wind, and suddenly felt a pain in his head, his stomach surged, and he threw out a "wow" while holding on to the pillar. Wu Liang was startled, and hurriedly called: "Come on, your third master has vomited wine!" ”

shouted a few times but didn't see a small servant come out, it turned out that the servants knew that as soon as the meal was opened, there would be no feast for two hours, only a few clever ones were waiting for the bureau in front, and the rest went to gamble**, or sneaked out to drink and have fun, and went home, so no one came for a while.

Wu Liang raised his eyes and saw a few girls vaguely flashing at the moon gate, so he hurriedly carried Lin Jinting over, stood at the gate of the garden and looked inside. Seeing the scenery in the courtyard lingering on the winding path, the slender window, the dark cage embroidered foil, not far from the hillside planted a plum tree, there is a beautiful woman wearing a red gorilla halo cloak standing under the plum tree, holding scissors to cut the plum, and a little maid standing aside, holding a plain white jade gall bottle in her hand, inserting a plum branch that has been cut, so beautiful as if the person in the painting.

Wu Liang was stunned, and unconsciously took a few steps forward, only to see that the beauty was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with condensed fat and snow skin, willow eyebrows, and a beautiful and elegant appearance. Wu Liang only felt that his soul was flying, and he couldn't help but stab Lin Jinting and muttered, "This ...... This is the girl of your Lin family? ”

Lin Jinting opened his eyes drunk, looked at it, and said, "This ...... This is my cousin, the ...... of the Song family" After speaking, he couldn't help but vomit again.

Wu Liang hurriedly asked Lin Jinting to lean on a Taihu Lake stone, and went to the house to call people, but he secretly had a heart for Song Tanchai, and asked in every possible way in the future, but he didn't show it for the time being.

Lin Jinlou felt bored after eating wine in the house, Xiao Cuiyun of Yihong Courtyard tore some pork ribs and meat with his own hands and served them in a small plate, and said with a smile: "Don't just eat what Sister Hong's feed, the slave will also eat two bites of it with his own hands, so he should give the slave a face." ”

Everyone coaxed: "Look, isn't it vinegar?" It's the hardest thing to be graced by a beauty, you can eat it quickly! ”

Lin Jinlou smiled lazily, lowered his head and took a bite, and smiled at Xiao Cuiyun: "My son, you are getting more and more well-behaved, it can be seen that Li Er has taken care of you, and he treats you really well." ”

Xiao Cuiyun glanced at Lin Jinlou resentfully, and said half-truthfully: "It's not that the master looks down on the slave, but only the slave's sister." "It turns out that this little Cuiyun is the younger sister of Xiao Cuixian, who favored Lin Jinlou earlier, sent poems and other things, and couldn't help but be secretly happy when she saw Lin Jinlou receive it, who knew that Lin Jinlou didn't pay attention to her, but Li Yi'an, a partial general in his army, took a fancy to her and made the silver use. Xiao Cuiyun refused at first, hanged herself and wiped her neck, and then the bustard's mother scolded: "Cuixian is prettier than you, and she can play and sing, Uncle Lin only comes twice occasionally, your color is not as good as your sister, take this heart as soon as possible!" Lin Jinlou sent someone over to talk about her and Li Yi'an, and Xiao Cuiyun had no choice but to agree. But now looking at Lin Jinlou, my heart itches again, and I can't help but come over to please and flatter.

Lin Jinlou said with a smile: "You can't say this, now that your sister is with Liu Gongzi, she has nothing to do with me." ”

Xiao Cuiyun smiled and said: "It's the slave who lost his word, and he should be punished!" He raised his glass and ate it. Secretly said: "Lin Jinlou is a ruthless person, my sister is infatuated with him, and he didn't ask for it in the end, but he just gave him money to redeem himself and gave him a friend. The sentimentality of the idea in his heart disappeared, and he said with a smile: "Yesterday, a mother also said that the master would not go to us, and there were several girls in the garden, all of whom were like shallots, and their small voices were also tender. ”

As he spoke, he got up and pulled a girl from the banquet, about fourteen years old, wearing a pink folded magnolia embroidered satin gown, a white silk bamboo leaf stand-up collar middle shirt, and a jujube red embroidered plum blossom skirt underneath. There is a braid on his head, but he has not combed his bun, and it is obvious that he has not been combed before, but he has a gold-inlaid jeweled half-winged butterfly burnt blue hairpin, a white bead and gold hairpin, a golden diamond hairpin on the sideburns, a green jade earring hanging from his ears, and a gold-inlaid pearl bracelet on his wrist. Born with a melon seed face, a pair of thin eyebrows, watery eyes, pink cheeks, soft waist, still with two points of greenness, walked to Lin Jinlou, saw that he was born handsome, he blushed first, Ying Ying bowed, and said softly: "Slave Cuiqiao, come to serve the uncle." ”

Xiao Cuiyun pushed Xiao Cuiqiao to Lin Jinlou's side, and said with a smile: "This is the slave's new sister, who brings long knowledge, the uncle has to take pity on the jade, don't scare her." He glanced at Xiao Cuiqiao again: "Be smart, being able to serve Uncle Lin is a blessing from your previous life." ”

Although this Cui Qiao has a bit of talent, she is already a rare beauty, but in Lin Jinlou's eyes, she is not a sharp child, so she smiled casually: "Your mother is fast, she just left a Cui Xian, and she will immediately fill the newcomer." ”

Xiao Cuiqiao was also obedient, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Lin Jinlou, Lin Jinlou only took a sip and put it on the kang table.

Xiao Cuiyun saw that Lin Jinlou didn't care, so he said to Xiao Cuiqiao: "Go and hug the pipa and sing the song you learned a few days ago to all of you." ”

Xiao Cuiqiao sat down with the pipa in her arms, plucked the strings, and sang "Pomegranate Dream" babblingly, which was also crisp and pleasant. For a while, the hall was full of applause, and everyone said: "This voice is tender, but it is extremely rare." There are even more frivolous children who have been walking in the wind and moon for many years are eager to try, and this whispered: "It's not a good style at a young age, and I'll change her sweat towel later." The whisper: "Fart, don't you see that people have a person who wants to belong, besides, how dark the old bustard is in Yihong Courtyard, such a pretty girl, how can she come over without eighty taels of silver!" He also said: "If eighty taels is not cost-effective, it is only five taels of silver to buy a girl outside." As soon as these words came out, they caused a burst of laughter and said: "Five taels of silver, you go and buy a fat and fat ugly girl and come back!" ”

At the end of the song, Xiao Cuiqiao came up to serve again, learned to be red, and fed melons and fruits to Lin Jinlou to eat. Lin Jinlou turned his face to take a look, only to see her cowardly look, and suddenly remembered Xianglan, when she first saw her, she was also so timid, she quietly hairpinned a magnolia flower on her head by the lake, and when she was knocked out, she drooped with a red face.

Thinking about it, I remembered that yesterday the girl didn't know how to lift, looking for death and life to throw his face, so that he was still sad when he went to worship his ancestors, and his heart was annoyed, so he simply didn't eat tea, put on his shoes and left, and said: "You just eat and drink, and suddenly remember that there is an urgent matter, and you can come when you go." With that, he entered the inner house like a gust of wind.

At this time, the Qin family was inviting people to listen to the female opera singing in the flower hall, and Lin Jinlou saw that the red note was carrying a plate and was about to enter the house, so he stopped and asked in a low voice. After a while, the red note came out of the house and said, "I have told the wife of the Song family to wait for the uncle in the second room." ”

Lin Jinlou thanked him repeatedly, lifted the curtain and entered the second room, only to see that Aunt Song had come, so he smiled and said, "I'm disturbing my aunt to listen to the play." ”

Aunt Song smiled and said, "You kid, if you do anything else, you don't know what you invited me for?" ”

Lin Jinlou smiled: "It's presumptuous, I came this time to ask my aunt for someone." The Song family should have a maid named Xianglan, I look at the eyes, I don't know if my aunt is willing to cut love, if it is given to me, I will designate to give my aunt a generous gift. ”

Aunt Song was stunned, and then showed a look of embarrassment on her face, and said, "Yo, it's not a surprise that you mentioned it...... This girl just came in the morning, asked for grace, and was already released. ”

Lin Jinlou was stunned, and gradually furrowed his brows. RS
