Xianglan's eyes were red, leaning on Xue's arms, Chen Wanquan was happy to see his daughter, but he secretly looked at the furnishings in the house, only to feel that the golden light was open, and the wealth was compelling, as if he had arrived at the palace, and Lin Jinlou was standing next to him, Chen Wanquan only felt that his knees were weak, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

Lin Jinlou said: "What are you doing standing, Xianglan, I don't know how to let your father and mother sit." ”

Xianglan gave up her seat, pulled Xue Shi to sit on the kang in the warm pavilion, the maid moved to embroider the pier, Chen Wanquan carefully only sat on half of his hips, and his eyes did not dare to look around. For a while, Xiaojuan brought the tea and put the fruit again. Chen Wanquan didn't dare to speak, only to see Xue pulling Xianglan to ask for warmth.

Xianglan glanced at Lin Jinlou quietly, only to see him standing next to Duobao Pavilion,

Lin Jinlou thought that he was here, and Xianglan's family was uncomfortable, so he turned around and went. Chen Wanquan was greatly relieved when he saw that the people were gone.

Xianglan earnestly asked her father and mother Hanwen, and Xue asked her where she had been these days and why she didn't send a letter to her family, and Xianglan had to prevaricate with lies. Seeing that there was no one else in the house, Xue asked Xianglan in a low voice: "Now the uncle is ...... to you What's going on? "Last time, Lin Jinlou almost strangled Xianglan to death, and the Xue family still has a heart hanging when he thinks about it now.

Xianglan said in a low voice: "I'm doing well in the mansion...... Don't worry, mom and dad. ”

Xue sighed: "How can I not worry. But seeing that Xianglan's complexion was better than before, she was relieved.

Chen Wanquan saw that his daughter was now wearing gold and silver, and she was dressed in the style of a family member who came out of the prince's mansion, and his face came out with a very proud face, and he complained to the Xue family: "I have long said that my daughter is blessed to come to the Lin family, but you don't believe it, the serious grandmother of the noble family is not as good as our family." He said to Xianglan again: "Uncle treated you badly before, it's not that you are too stubborn, and you think about those delusions all day long." Now I have to accept your heart, uncle is such a decent, such a majestic person, you can't find it with a lantern. Not to mention anything else, just after the New Year, how many things were sent to our house, I sold the ones that I couldn't use, and with the ideas I had saved, I not only opened a shop, but also bought a piece of land. Now even Han Zhixian calls me a brother, and now you go out and poke it, you can be regarded as a character, but it can be regarded as an eye-opener. My son, you have always been a smart man, if you were a girl before, it would have been fine, and your father and I would not have agreed to let you be a concubine, but now this is the case, women are not 'marrying chickens and dogs, marrying dogs and dogs' If the uncle is tired of you, what can you do. ”

Xue Shi frowned when he heard this, kicked Chen Wanquan and said, "What are you talking about!" It's easy to see her daughter once, and then say these words that pierce her heart. ”

Chen Wanquan immediately widened his eyes and said, "Tsk, could it be that what I said is wrong?" She's just too big in heart! ”

Xue Shi hurriedly said: "Okay, you can eat tea and rest." As he spoke, he cautiously looked at Xianglan's face.

Xianglan said lightly: "What is the door of our family, my father knows it very well, and wants me to live better in the house, but you have to take care of yourself, eat less wine, make fewer bastard fox friends and dog friends, and less bragging about me. Uncle is not a long-term person, let me get into trouble because of this, let the uncle get tired of me, and drive me out like a thrush and a spring swallow, and there will be no such things for the New Year in the future. ”

Chen Wanquan is a timid person in the end, after hearing this, Fang Cai proudly boasted that his grandeur of teaching Xianglan had already been thrown to Java, and he changed color when he landed, and said busily: "Then where can I make trouble for you." But I also knew that I had been boasting very much in recent times, and I said a lot of things that should not be said, and I couldn't help muttering in my heart.

Xianglan shook her head. If Chen Wanquan had spoken to her for half a day before, she would have been annoyed, arguing with Chen Wanquan with frowns and eyes, but now she has experienced several ups and downs, and her heart has become more and more sinking, and she no longer likes to go-for-tat with the original. Her father's vision and mind can not be changed in a moment, why should she be angry about this, and break up unhappily, now she can't be by her father's side, the road ahead is panicked, I don't know where the direction is, it is better to admonish a few words, just hope that my father and mother are well.

After talking for a while, Xue Ning came in and said, "The food in the kitchen has been served, and the uncle wants the girl to leave Master Chen and his wife to eat in the house." As he spoke, he led everyone to the flower hall.

Inside, I saw that there were four small plates of cold dishes on the table of Huanghuali Eight Immortals, Lin Jinlou sat at the table at random, holding a birdcage, teasing a little yellow warbler, and when he saw someone coming in, he handed the bird cage to the lotus heart standing aside, and saw Xianglan enter the house, her eyes were still swollen, and she said with a smile: "Yo, why are you crying again?" How happy to see your parents? Without waiting for Xianglan to reply, he beckoned: "Just sit down when you come." ”

Chen Wanquan didn't dare to come out, shrunk his hands and feet, and said: "Don't, don't, how dare you ...... this" Before a word was spoken, Xue Shi had already poked him, and said to Lin Jinlou: "It's us who bother." dragged Chen Wanquan to sit down and glared at him fiercely.

Xianglan sighed silently in her heart and sat down. Xiaojuan, Lingqing, and Lingsu took the box and stood on the ground, Chunling came to open the lid of the box, and each contained two hot dishes, and brought it out with Tinglan. For a while, the little girl sent a silver basin to clean her hands, and the Chen couple washed their hands in the same way as Xianglan, stiffening their faces and bodies and not daring to say a word.

The banquet was quiet, Lin Jinlou said with a smile: "I wanted to invite you over, but I didn't have time, don't be restrained when you come, feel free to use some." Saying that, he glanced at Lianxin, and Lianxin immediately took the wine jug and went to pour wine for Chen Wanquan.

Chen Wanquan didn't dare to say anything, but he didn't dare to pick up the chopsticks.

Xianglan saw that her father and mother were uncomfortable, so she looked up to look at Chunling. Chunling stood on the side with a handkerchief in her hand, knowing that Xianglan was looking at her, but she was still holding her breath in her heart, so she didn't look up, pretending not to see. Lingqing and Lingsu were standing on the other side with their gargle tails, and when they saw this, they looked at each other, and the two stood up, took chopsticks and stepped forward with a smile: "I don't know which dish Master Chen and Mrs. Chen like to eat, the slave and maid will give it to you." With that, he put some in the dishes for the two. Chen Wanquan and Xue's Fang just picked it up and ate it.

Xianglan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and Chunling's face sank.

The Lin family has always "eaten without words", Lin Jinlou eats slowly and methodically, and he is not very compatible with Chen Wanquan and his wife, the two of them don't know the taste of a meal, and they don't dare to stretch out their own hands, only the maid clips it into the plate before eating.

Lin Jinlou had almost eaten, so he put down his chopsticks, beckoned the maid to give him a Western cloth hand towel, and said with a smile while wiping his hands: "Inviting you to come today is also a happy event." Xianglan is a satisfactory person, the grandfather has long wanted to raise her as an aunt, but she was so busy that she didn't take care of it for a while, and when she stopped a little, she set up a wine banquet and invited someone to come, so she would not be wronged. ”

This sentence sounded like thunder in the clear sky, Xianglan had a meal in her hand, and she couldn't eat it anymore, her hand holding the chopsticks turned slightly white, and she lowered her head and said nothing. The Chen couple was also extremely surprised, and after looking at each other, Chen Wanquan hurriedly smiled and said, "Thanks to the uncle, it is the blessing of our pandan." ”

Xue was secretly worried, and when he saw that Xianglan only hung her head and didn't speak, she became more and more worried, and hurriedly pushed Xianglan's leg quietly, and whispered, "Don't go to Uncle Xie soon." ”

When Xiao Juan saw it, he was busy and said with a smile: "Grandma is overjoyed!" This afternoon, I saw two magpies squeaking in the trees, and it turned out that I was in response to this happy event! Congratulations to grandma, congratulations to grandma! Xiaojuan was born delicately, and as soon as she said this, the maids next to her were also busy coming up to congratulate her, and she hurriedly called "grandma".

Pandan bit her lip. In the eyes of others, raising her as an aunt is to give her a big face, she was born as a slave, if it weren't for her own life and escape, staying in the Lin family with a boy at most in the future, and now she can be a concubine for the general of Sanpin, her whole family should be grateful and burn high incense to the ancestral grave.

In this life, since she wanted to get rid of her slave status and enter the Lin family, luck was not on her side, and every time she was in a desperate situation, she would be beaten into the abyss with a stick. She doesn't complain about anyone, time, life, so many fugitive concubines from big families, she is afraid that she is the most peaceful one, staying quietly in the temple, just trouble to find the door, and she can't hide if she wants to.

She knows her identity and catty, and has never been delusional about being the grandmother of the Lin family, she has been with Lin Jinlou in this life, but she is just a concubine of the Israelite people. She is just unwilling to be a plaything for the rest of her life, serving the male and female masters all her life, if she had accepted her fate as a concubine, she would have responded to Song Ke in the first place. Lin Jinlou said that she was a stuffy gourd, everyone felt that she didn't know how to lift, and the maids said that she was hypocritical behind her back, but how could she say it when she was full of words? Who can understand her heart? Every time she resisted Lin Jinlou's meaning, she would be beaten, the last time Lin Jinlou saw a fan given to her by Song Ke, she was angry and wanted to strangle her, if she said that she didn't want to be Lin Jinlou's concubine, Lin Jinlou would really be able to kill her. She can't let go, she still has parents to be filial piety, the sharp spirit of the confrontation with Lin Jinlou at the beginning has already been polished by his thunderous methods, only a trace is hidden deep in her heart, she carefully restrained her words and looks, and became more and more silent, only in front of Lin Jinlou as a cat called mimi.

She knew that there would be such a day in Yangzhou, she saved the Qin family's mother and daughter, and it was reasonable for Lin Jinlou to give her a name. It's just that this title is certain, and it will be difficult to get out in the future.

It's just that in this situation, what difference does it make if there is a "aunt" or not?

Lin Jinlou saw that Xianglan lowered her head and was silent, the smile on her face gradually faded, and her face became more and more cold. But seeing Xianglan suddenly get up, she blessed and said, "Uncle Xie's love." ”

The Chen couple, the Xue family and Xiaojuan and other maids couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Lin Jinlou smiled, and felt a little happy in his heart, but saw that Xianglan was still lowering her head, looking carefully, her eyes seemed to be a little bright, as if there was some water, and she couldn't help but wring her eyebrows again, and that little joy turned into nothing.

After the meal, the Chen couple had to leave. Xianglan was very reluctant, and pulled Xue Shi and said: "You and my father take good care of their bodies, and they will come to see me from time to time, and after two days, I will also visit you at home." The little maid who was waiting for the Chen couple also arrived, and the little maid and the cauliflower also arrived, and Xianglan called people to him, and one of them gave one or two silvers, and gave the painting fan a silver hairpin and a silver buckle of cauliflower, and instructed the two to serve well and let her father eat and drink less.

Lin Jinlou ordered Shuangxi to prepare a carriage to send the Chen couple home, and when they left, the maids took out a large box of pinched silk and gold, which was full of good dishes and good rice, and a jar of grimaceous green flower urns, containing good wine. Next to it there are local products brought back from Yangzhou, satin silk, etc., and Chen Wanquan is given a pair of excellent antique bottles, and Xue's set of red gold hairpin ring jewelry.

After sending the people away, the Zhichun Pavilion quieted down. Lin Jinlou took a book and read it under the lamp, and there was a large stack of official documents and letters scattered next to him, all of which were official matters that he had delayed in going to Yangzhou in the past two days. Xianglan secretly glanced at Lin Jinlou, quietly freshened up in the warm pavilion, scattered her hair, changed her clothes, slipped along the wall to the bed, gently lifted the quilt and lay in.

Lin Jinlou glimpsed that the anger in his original mind had dropped by half, and he also felt some coke in his heart, and said secretly: "Stupid or not, I know that it will make my master unhappy, why did I go earlier." Displeased, he threw the book and walked over to the bed.

Xianglan was startled, wrapped herself more tightly in the quilt, and stuck her head into the quilt. Lin Jinlou stepped forward, "Hula" lifted the quilt, and said with a sad face: "You get up for the master!" ”

Xianglan trembled with fright.

Lin Jinlou said coldly: "What about you!" Sensei is here to play dead! ”

Lingqing wanted to come in to add tea, but she was shocked when she heard this, but she felt that her sleeve was being pulled, and when she saw Xue Ning standing behind her, she shook her head and said in a low voice: "Let's go, you are in, just go back and wait for the master to call." Lingqing hesitated and followed Xue Ning.

In the room, Xianglan sat up slowly, curled up and lowered her head.

Lin Jinlou pointed and asked, "Who did you put on a face when you were eating?" Yes? Lord gives you face, you don't have a face, don't you? Is it difficult to be an aunt to be an aunt to wronged you? Speak! He sneered again: "Are you still thinking about Song Ke in your heart?" ”

Xianglan was really afraid that Lin Jinlou would get angry, she quietly looked up at Lin Jinlou, Lin Jinlou was angry when she mentioned "Song Ke", and she was annoyed, and suddenly saw Xianglan shocked and frightened, pitiful eyes, she was stunned, and the second half of the sentence was stuck in her throat.

Xianglan's fingers twisted together, and whispered, "I don't have ......"

Xu was these three words to please him, Lin Jinlou thought that he had heard it wrong at first, but when he understood, he felt that the fire in his heart had suddenly dropped completely. He clenched his hands into fists, put them to his lips, coughed, and sat down on the edge of the bed. RS
