Xianglan's heart warmed, and she held Lin Dongqi's hand and said, "This matter is not urgent, the matter of the heir is fate......

Lin Dongqi said: "You are a kind person, you suffered when you entered the Lin family before, you have mentioned those things to me, Xiaojuan and Mother Wu have mentioned to me, you saved me once, my wife had prejudices against you before, and I didn't treat you well, and you also saved her and the fourth sister." Don't say much in this house, and when the idler gets a favor like the eldest brother, won't he go sideways at home? It's rare to be in the limelight, just let it out, just like today's wedding banquet, you are all affected, but the scenery is let others get it, I know these in my heart. ”

Xianglan sighed: "The second aunt and grandmother are serious, I am also doing my duty, now everyone is looking at my scenery, I don't know what the scenery is in the future, you also know the uncle's character, now I am also taking a step at a time, I am here now, eating, drinking, wearing, all of them belong to the Lin family, but the uncle can look down on me for the time being, and he must know how to advance and retreat, where to be arrogant." ”

Lin Dongqi said: "Don't say that, this is also your home, you are a person in my brother's room, and it is not natural to eat him and drink him?" You are a man of understanding, how could you say such a thing? ”

Xianglan said in her heart: "I can't be a little wife here for a long time." He just pursed his lips and smiled.

Lin Dongqi comforted: "I know what you are worried about, there are still a few families at the wedding banquet today who inquire about my eldest brother's remarriage, I will inquire for you, but if she is a powerful person, she must not be allowed to marry in, I will write to my wife when the time comes." ”

Xianglan was moved in her heart again, and said: "Second aunt and grandmother, you don't have to be like this, you treat me like this, I really don't have anything to say." ”

Lin Dongqi smiled and said: "I married from Jinling, although there are a few good girls in the capital, but there are also some people who have changed their tempers, and there are no good things to say, but I can talk to you for entertainment, I know that you are a good one, and there is always someone to talk to each other." In the future, it will be difficult for me to come out when my body is heavy, so you have to go to my house more often to see me. ”

The two talked again, and Xianglan left a gift and said goodbye, and went to the new house.

Lin Dongqi leaned on the head of the bed, Xiangyun came in after a while, sat at the end of the bed and pinched her feet, and said in a low voice: "I have inquired at the front, my uncle is not strong enough to drink, this time I have already eaten the sobering soup, rest, there is a little girl in front to take care of it, and the second grandmother can only rest assured." ”

Lin Dongqi said "um", just be distracted. After a while, he asked, "You have seen the two grandmothers of our Lin family today, how do you feel?" ”

Xiangyun said: "Grandma Xuan Er has a good appearance, but she is too top-notch, and she must show her outstanding in everything before she stops, but the fourth girl is not there, otherwise the two of them together will be a play." Grandma Tingsan looked like a shrewd and powerful person. I feel that my aunt and grandmother are a little different from the past, the original speech was inevitably choking people's lungs, but now it is much softer, and the words are held high, and it is comfortable to listen. ”

Lin Dongqi smiled slightly and said, "If I hadn't married well, how could she come to hold me and talk." When she married the Lu family, she thought that she had climbed up to the top of the branch, and she even loved to ignore the family, but then she stumbled, only to know that her mother's family gave her more cheers, so she rushed back again. Originally, she was not this sex, but now she flatters people one by one, and it can be seen that she has a lot of bitterness behind her back. After a pause, he said, "What do you think of Xianglan?" ”

Xiangyun said: "What a beauty, when you go there, the whole room is bright, and Uncle Daolin is blamed for favoring her." ”

Lin Dongqi sighed: "It's a pity that this well-born person is often famous, and seeing her under her control is really everyone's style of being a beautiful girl, generous, rewarding a lot, and also knowing how to ask for warmth to the people below, these two words are said lightly, but not everyone can do it." There is such a young lady with a good background, who is obsessed with money and money, and if she says that she will be rewarded, she has to break her penny into two cents, or she is generous on herself, and taking it out to others is like cutting meat. Pandan is from a bitter background, and it is rare not to care about these. Or there are such young ladies and noblewomen, who take the maids and servants as inappropriate people, scold and insult, or pretend to be bribed, but in fact they are despised, or they are like kittens and dogs, I heard Xiaojuan and others have no mouth to praise Xianglan for being good, saying that Xianglan has set the rules, and she will not ask the maids to do needlework when she holds the lamp, saying that she is afraid of hurting her eyes. ”

Xiangyun said with a smile: "Xianglan was born as a girl, and she didn't light the lamp to boil wax in Miss Biao's hands to do needlework, of course she knows how to sympathize with the people below." ”

Lin Dongqi said with a smile: "At that time, the second aunt and grandmother heard what she said, but she didn't want to think about it, so once she was proud, she turned over and became the master, and even practiced the people under her. Or quickly pick up the master's money, for fear of being underestimated, which of the thrush, Qinglan, and Luan'er was not like this. Xianglan gathered the few people around her so well, and was willing to saddle her before and after the horse, which inherently has the majesty of the eldest brother, if she didn't have the ability to do so, she would never be able to take care of it so properly, let alone say that she was better than a monkey. Now the third brother's wedding banquet is also managed by her, although it is decent, it is rare that there is no mistake at all, the better she does, the more I sweat for her, which grandmother will enter the door in the future, and can accommodate such a person"

Xiangyun said: "Grandma has seen things thoroughly, so we don't know these truths. ”

Lin Dongqi said: "What's the use of being transparent, I'm far worse than my mother, she said earlier that Xianglan is not an idle person, look at it without saying a word, but that look and scheming, it's not a small move if she wants to make waves." I didn't believe it earlier, looking at Xianglan Shan Rou, she didn't talk much, she didn't seem to be shrewd and powerful, but you see, now it's also fulfilled, the eldest brother's Bolang who has been in the sky for three and four days, now she is the only one in the house, and she is like something. ”

The master and servant talked about it once, and Lin Dongqi was tired, and couldn't help leaning on the pillow and falling asleep.

Xiangyun stepped forward lightly, put a thin quilt on it, blew out the light, and quietly retreated.

But said that Xianglan came to the new house, and saw the lights in the new house from afar, because he had not yet worshipped, so Lin Jinting stayed in Lin Jinxuan's courtyard at night, and the bride lived here. Xianglan stepped into the courtyard to take a look, only to see that the mother-in-law and maids in the courtyard were still shuttling in twos and threes, and laughter came from time to time in the house. The little maid of the Lin family saw Xianglan, and hurriedly entered the house to spread the news, there was a daughter-in-law at the door to open the curtain, Xianglan stepped into the house, only to see seven or eight female dependents standing in the house, all of them were dressed in brocade clothes, and there was a woman wearing a xia veil sitting on the bed, although she was born beautiful and dignified, but she was not very outstanding, with thin eyebrows and big eyes, white skin and plump body, a round face, with a bit of spring.

Xianglan said secretly: "This should be the bride Li, her name is Yingru, her grandfather is the right servant of the household, her father is a Tongzhi in Zhejiang, and he has been raised as a man by his grandfather's side since he was a child, and he is very smart and clever." Lin Jinlou said that because the old lady thought that the second wife Wang was too soft and glutinous, he found a daughter-in-law with a stronger personality. ”

Lin Dongjun was talking to everyone, and when he saw Xianglan entering the house, he stepped forward with great enthusiasm and took Xianglan's arm, and said with a smile: "Come, I'll introduce the beauty of our family, this is my eldest brother's room, and she can't handle this banquet today." Pointing to the noble lady in the house and Xianglan to identify them one by one, in addition to the daughters of the Lin and Li families, there are also a few families next to them, all of whom are in-laws of the Lin family. Xianglan and Li Yingru have seen each other, Xianglan gave a pair of bracelets as a gift, and Li Yingru gave a pair of hairpins in return.

The ladies in the house stepped forward to talk, Xianglan only lowered her head and made a shy attitude, asked four or five sentences before replying, not very much, and stood for a while before withdrawing. When I arrived at home, I saw that Lin Jinlou had come back, and he was sitting in the house eating tea, and saw Xianglan and said, "You came back from the third brother and sister?" Xianglan nodded, and took out her homely clothes and changed them on.

Lin Jinlou asked, "What do you think of her?" ”

Xianglan said: "I look at the third grandmother like a powerful person. ”

Lin Jinlou touched his chin and said: "That's it, she has been reading poetry and books since she was a child, and when she was a girl, everyone in the family called her 'Brother Ying'er', and often said that she hated the injustice of heaven and earth, and she was actually a daughter, otherwise she would also make a name for herself in the scientific examination." Xiao San'er begged a powerful mother-in-law, and he will have to accept it in the future. After gossiping, the two turned off the lights and went to sleep, leaving it aside for the time being.

But he said that on the second day, Lin Jinting took his wife south to Jinling early in the morning, and everyone sent them off, so it was no problem. After the wedding feast, everything that should be used for furnishings will be cleaned up and down, and it will take a busy day to finish. Xianglan checked the account books of the valuables one by one, collected the pairs of cards, and received the remaining jars of wine into the library, and the remaining dishes and snacks were not eaten with wine, and all the wine was sent down to reward people. Xianglan took turns to take turns on the most hard-working maids, daughters-in-law, old mothers and housekeepers at the wedding banquet, and also rewarded another dish, and the house was happy for a while. Xianglan is not idle, but Tan Luhua is very idle, this wedding banquet she tried her skills and made a splash, she knew that because she was the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, she let people rush to meet her, but her heart was still very comfortable, and she couldn't help but add a little more patience and gentleness to Lin Jinxuan.

Since entering the summer, Lin Jinxuan's symptoms have been a little lighter, sitting under the grape trellis in the courtyard to read a book in the town, or playing hairpins and grass, playing fish and insects, or playing chess with Tan Luhua, and the days are also quiet. It's just a few days later, Tan Luhua didn't feel comfortable, she was just sullen when she came out and went in, and when she dreamed back at midnight, she recalled the scene she had seen in the backyard of Changchun Hall that day, the two bodies were obsessed up and down, and Lin Jinlou had broad shoulders and a broad back, and his arms were strong...... Tan Luhua's heart was like a fire, and he turned sideways to look at Lin Jinxuan, only to see that handsome face was pale and weak, thinking that the two of them were hasty, and on the second day, Lin Jinxuan's legs were weak, and he had a deficiency disease, which caused Aunt Yin to talk nonsense, so she was not annoyed.

Tan Luhua sighed leisurely, kept her eyes open until dawn, and her body was lazy. After lunch, Lin Jinxuan went to take a nap, and Tan Luhua threw chess pieces with the maids for fun, only to hear someone reply: "The third son of Daifu, the third master Rong, is here." ”

(After thinking about it, I still plan to restore Tan's boudoir name, Tan Luhua, so that it is more convenient to write.) We hereby inform you. ）RS
