As soon as the words came out, both of them were stunned. Xianglan looked at Lin Jinlou's face with a touch of stunned, and felt a little annoyed, Zi Dai calculated her reputation, if she didn't mind it was fake, but she didn't want to complain to Lin Jinlou, but somehow, she couldn't help but say that sentence, which implied a complaint, as if she had eaten sour vinegar, but she didn't mean this. She turned around a little frustrated, pretending to get the cloak, but heard Lin Jinlou say behind her, "Come here." ”

Pandan pretended not to hear.

"Play stupid, huh? Say what about you, let you come. ”

Xianglan lowered her head, turned around slowly, stared at the tip of her shoe and rubbed it.

Lin Jinlou had already sat up and waved his hand to Chunling, who understood and immediately retreated.

Xianglan rubbed to the side of the bed, Lin Jinlou took her little hand, let her sit on the edge of the bed, and asked, "What's the matter, what 'learn from her', 'learn from you', talk to the master." ”

Xianglan lowered her head, twisted the palace silk on her skirt with her other hand, and listened to Lin Jinlou ask again, before she said: "It's nothing, Mrs. Zidai lifts Zidai, she is the daughter of Han's mother's ** nephew, she grew up in the house when she was young, and she is naturally strong in everything, so I naturally want to learn from her." ”

Lin Jinlou flicked Xianglan's fingers and said lazily: "Lift? How to lift? ”

Xianglan lowered her head and didn't speak, and only after a while did she say slowly: "Mrs. feels sorry for the uncle, and feels that the house is deserted." ”

Lin Jinlou shook his hand, and looked left and right at Xianglan with a frown. Xianglan raised her eyelids and glanced at him, and when she saw his thoughtful appearance, she quickly lowered her head. Lin Jinlou was moody, and she couldn't figure out whether this master was happy or unhappy at this moment.

Suddenly, Lin Jinlou said: "Okay, you go." ”

Xianglan hurriedly stood up and took her cloak.

Lin Jinlou took a sip of tea and called, "Where are the people? Lianxin hurriedly walked in, and Lin Jinlou said, "It's not you, it's the round-faced girl who serves Xianglan." Lian Xin responded and hurriedly went out to call someone.

Xiaojuan was packing up the cage, and when she heard that Lin Jinlou called her, she was frightened and white-faced, but she didn't dare not go, and she entered the house in two steps, not even daring to raise her head, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Uncle." ”

Lin Jinlou tapped his fingers on the kang table and said, "Master remembers the most loyal person around you Xianglan, let's talk about it, what is the situation in the house when you are not here these days?" Pandan has been wronged? ”

Xiao Juan only felt that she couldn't breathe in front of Lin Jinlou, and knelt down as soon as her knees were weak, and stammered: "Girl, just, just ......" She was afraid of both his wife and his uncle, and she hesitated to tell the whole story, but seeing Lin Jinlou's eyes burning, sitting upright and already overwhelming, Xiao Juan was afraid in her heart and didn't dare to hide it, so she told how Zidai went to Zhichun Pavilion to meddle in affairs, how to squeeze Xianglan, and how to calculate Xianglan's reputation. At the end, he lay on the ground and kowtowed, "...... The girl said that Zidai was the face of his wife, so she endured everything and refused to say it. If the uncle doesn't believe it, just ask Chunling Lianxin and them, if the slave maid has a lie, he will have a rotten sore in his throat. ”

Lin Jinlou was silent for a long time, Xiaojuan was scared into a cold sweat, but he heard Lin Jinlou say: "Master knows, you can go." ”

As if he had been granted amnesty, the little cuckoo got up and went away like a gust of wind.

Lin Jinlou's face instantly darkened. He knows best what Xianglan's temperament is, she is soft-hearted, stubborn, poor, and stupid, so stupid that she can't calculate individuals, and she doesn't know how to squeak even if she calculates hardships and suffers, as if she opened her mouth to tell him that she would kill her. He sometimes wondered how her slave-born father and mother could raise a girl like her, who was full of scholarly and sour spirits, like those civil servants in the court who were stubbornly admonished, pedantic and uninaudible. If he hadn't been wronged today, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to listen to the words of "complaining" today, but she was especially pitiful like this, which made him feel more pity.

"Silly girl." Lin Jinlou stood up and scolded himself, "Is there anything you can't say to your master, can't you call the shots?" He exhaled deeply. He understood what his wife meant, and if Zi Dai was an honest person, it would be okay for him to take it. Horizontal erection of his old lady's face is put inside, and it is not difficult to raise a person in the Zhichun Pavilion. But what Zi Dai did made his heart remark. Oh, pandan knows that you are the face of your wife, and you are tolerant of everything; Don't you know that pandan is the face of the master? trample her to death and ruin her reputation, won't the lord's face be glorious?

Lin Jinlou rubbed his eyebrows, now his father is in Shanxi, the old lady is old, his second uncle is a vain head, and the family is counting on him, he is busy with foreign affairs, after taking care of family affairs, there are still people to wrap him up when he comes back. Lin Jinlou was annoyed, lifted the curtain, and strode out.

Let's say that Xianglan is copying the "Four Books" in the second room of Qin's room, transcribing a paragraph with hairpin flowers on fine white paper, cutting the green diaphragm with a knife, and sticking it on the small flower stick with paste.

"Shhh

Hearing the movement, Lu Yan looked at it and said, "Yo, why did you make a mistake again, you have already written it wrong three times today." Pulling out the paper in front of Xianglan, seeing that there was no one around, he laughed in a low voice, "Why do you always want to be a man?" Isn't this all back? ”

"Phew! You just want to be a man! Xianglan blushed slightly and took a sip.

Lu Yan knew that she was thin-skinned, so she smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you've been writing for a long time, just rest for a while, I'll bring you a good cup of tea." With that, he got off the kang.

Xianglan put the pen down. She was a little absent-minded, always thinking about what happened when she was talking to Lin Jinlou just now. She really didn't want to sue Lin Jinlou, she had already planned to leave the house, and now more is better than less, and if Lin Jinlou accepts Zidai, it will only be good for her. But somehow, she actually had some expectations for Lin Jinlou, hoping that he could administer justice to herself. Lin Jinlou asked her two sentences and didn't ask again, and sent her to the Qin family, she was relieved, but she was a little disappointed in her heart.

In a daze, Lu Yan had already brought a pot of flower and fruit tea, and a small plate of delicate pastries, put it on the table and said with a smile: "The tea was freshly brewed this morning, and the wife tasted it and said it was too sweet, and let the old gentleman who made it again." The pastries were removed from the front of the Buddha Hall last night, let's taste two pieces, and touch the immortal spirit of the Buddha. ”

Xianglan responded with a smile, took the white porcelain tea bowl on the kang head, and poured a bowl for her and Lu Yan. Since she went to the wife's room, the maids and mothers-in-law have not treated her badly, and the silver of Lin Jinlou has played a role. Because the red note is the first thing to use around the Qin family, she is not too close to her, but she also treats her politely, and gives her a few points of convenience within her ability, but Lu Yan is very affectionate to her, and she does not shy away from others.

At this time, I only heard the footsteps of "dong dong dong" outside the door, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, a fluffy little head poked in, and Lin Jinyuan said loudly: "Where is my mother?" My mother isn't in this house? ”

Lu Yan hurriedly put his index finger on his lips and "shh ”

Lin Jinyuan let out an "oh" and walked in slowly. He looks like Qin, with red lips and white teeth, a pair of shining eyes, and a face as tender as a peach blossom in March. He was originally chubby, but after his sixth birthday, he was like a willow branch after the spring rain, and he kept jumping up, and he was actually a lot taller than children of the same age, and he also lost weight, if he didn't look carefully, he thought he was a beautiful girl.

Lin Jinyuan threw off his shoes and climbed onto the kang, took a piece of dim sum and stuffed it into his mouth, looked at the kang table, and said, "What are you writing?" ”

Lu Yan smiled: "For you to read." ”

Lin Jinyuan was deflated when he heard "reading", and leaned his head in Xianglan's arms and said: "I talk about reading all day long, it's not interesting!" ”

Pandan couldn't help but wonder. Lin Jinyuan doesn't like to read, he only likes to run around the garden, play dice, and fight crickets. The Qin family ordered someone to copy the paragraphs on the "Four Books" on paper and make flower sticks for Lin Jinyuan to use when playing dice. "Brother Lou also learned the "Four Books" like this back then." Qin said, "Brother Lou couldn't sit still at the age of five, so the old lady ordered someone to make the "Four Books" into a sign, and the two of them shook the dice to compare the points, and then drew one, and the selected ones had to recite the passages aloud to explain the meaning, just like a wine order, and they could sing and dance continuously, and in less than half a year, they had already passed most of them. It's a pity that I can't find the flower sticks of the year, otherwise it would have been saved. ”

Xianglan also felt that this method was very good. She couldn't help touching Lin Jinyuan's little face, and said softly: "What's wrong with reading, being a man and being reasonable can grow up." ”

Lin Jinyuan leaned on Xianglan's arms and gestured with his hand: "I don't want to study, I want to be a general in the future like my eldest brother." ”

Before he could say a word, he heard a commotion outside, and then the door curtain was opened, but it was Lin Jinlou who walked in, and saw Xianglan hugging Lin Jinyuan and couldn't help but be stunned, but Lin Jinyuan was extremely happy, jumped up and said with open arms: "Big brother, hurry, quickly throw me up and turn around!" ”

Lin Jinlou said with a smile: "Good boy, let the eldest brother sink you." As he spoke, he lifted Lin Jinyuan high and threw it into the air a few times, Lin Jinyuan giggled, and the nurse and maid on the side were frightened, and said in a loud voice: "Uncle, slow down, slow down......"

Lin Jinlou threw it a few more times, took Lin Jinyuan in his arms, sat down by the kang, and said to Xianglan: "Mrs. is chanting scriptures in the house, you are not serving inside, what are you doing outside?" Without waiting for Xianglan to answer, she squeaked Lin Jinyuan to herself, Lin Jinyuan laughed softly and fell on the kang, struggled hard, and shouted: "Surrender!" Surrender! ”

Lu Yan had eyes, quietly slipped out of bed to make tea, and just opened the curtain, but had a head on Zi Dai. He secretly said in his heart: "This little hoof came by chance, and he was still waiting in the wife's house to chant the scriptures. ”RS
