Xianglan was sent back to Jinling in the name of Grandma Lin, Lin Jinlou set up wine for Xianglan, and held a banquet in the house for a few days, one is to invite the Lin family to be friendly, the powerful and powerful people come to the house, and the other is to invite several relatives who often come and go in the clan to the house, only a lady of the "Zhao" generation in the clan, called Ding, known as Mrs. Lin Wu, but never arrived.

This Ding was also a hairpin eunuch for many generations, only to her father's generation of family defeated, she looks mediocre, but very good at pointing at women, to be strong and capable, when she was a girl, she had a reputation, so she married into the Lin family, but her husband died young, the family gradually became difficult, this Ding family was determined not to remarry, a pair of children were raised, some clansmen bullied her widow unemployed, Ding came to the door with two kitchen knives in his hand, alarmed the patriarch, and only then did he seek justice, and since then his reputation has risen, because she is talented, The big and small affairs between the sisters and in-laws in the clan are also handled by her, and even the Qin family respects her for three points. Later, her mother's family regained the appearance of revitalization, and her son became an official again, and begged his mother for his life, and the Ding family became more and more majestic.

Mother Wu came back with Xianglan and others, she is an old man, the news inside and outside the house is lively, and she is extremely shrewd, deaf and clear-sighted, and quietly said to Xianglan: "The fifth wife is good with the Duchess of Xianguo, that day the daughter of the Duke of Xianguo Zheng Jingxian and the young master of the Song family were not in harmony, and the Duchess of Xianguo said that it was the grandmother who seduced the masters, and later climbed the high branches and uncles, and the temperament of the fox and the road could not be changed anywhere. Ding also felt that his grandmother was a fox spirit, and he didn't have a good word when he mentioned it, when the uncle made up the "Legend of the Lanxiang Layman", the fifth wife saw the meaning of the uncle to marry the grandmother, so she said that the play book was mostly made up, and the grandmother would never marry into the Lin family, saying that even a girl slave was born cheaply, the toad ate swan meat, and did not have to spoil the door, and specially sent a letter to our old lady, the old lady knew the uncle's temperament, and when she saw this letter, she was afraid that the uncle would know that she would be annoyed, and then stiffen this relative, so she quickly burned the letter. Uncle invited relatives to come this time, how many people worked to invite Ding, and Ding refused to come to tell grandma about this matter, just to let grandma know in her heart. He comforted Xianglan again, "Grandma relaxes, she won't be able to touch it in the future, and it's just a matter of maintaining a decent face." ”

Xianglan was stunned, Wu's mother wanted to say a few words of relief, but Xianglan smiled and said: "I save it, she wrote to the old lady, and I don't know how much I said in private, saying that I didn't feel comfortable at all, it was nonsense, but my mother knew how many things I had gone through to get to where I am today, living in this world, there are always people who say that you are worthless, and you are not at a loss." But what is the matter of themselves, can they change it by saying a few sour words? ”

Mother Wu didn't expect Xianglan to think freely, and couldn't help sighing: "Yes, it should be like this." The words are terrifying, I don't know how many heroes have been forced to die, let alone the little woman. Think about why bother, for a few words to catch a good life. ”

Xianglan said: "I didn't know anything about the world at that time, others soured themselves, damaged themselves, or wronged themselves, even if they didn't say it, they hated it in their hearts, not to mention catching it back, they always had to speak more than him to feel angry, and then gradually felt that why bother, don't argue or argue, there are high and low horizons, and the governor has depth, but just do things with a good heart." I heard what people said, no matter how ugly it was, I just laughed, and I couldn't put down a few words, what else could I do in the future when I encountered a big event? ”

Mother Wu smiled: "My obedient, don't hide it from grandma, how many delusional maids are envious and jealous, sour and sour, grandma just has a good face born by her parents, how do they know that the uncle has seen more beauties, and finally infatuated here, not because grandma has such a hill in her heart." ”

Xianglan couldn't help but smile and said: "How many catties and taels I have, others don't know, maybe my mother doesn't know?" It's all ordinary people, I'm actually cowardly and narrow-minded, when I first came to the house, I felt that I was a head taller than others, and I was unwilling everywhere, but the beautiful jade was covered with dust and fell in such a quagmire of right and wrong. No one can be underestimated until they have suffered a lot of losses, and they must be humble and peaceful after all. ”

Mother Wu raised her head, only to see that Xianglan's skin was brighter than snow, like a pearl dizzy, and she couldn't help but sigh secretly Who would have thought that this girl with flowers and willows has gone through many ups and downs in just a few years, and now she is a stable governor, and she is afraid that her heart will also let her grievances be bigger.

And it was revealed, and no one ever spoke of it again.

But it is said that the white horse has passed through the gap, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and a year has passed in a flash. Since Lin Jinlou got married, there was no other greed, and the people who had worked so hard to get it finally told him about his love, and he was satisfied when he came back every day. He shirked socializing every day, went home early, talked with Xianglan for fun, or he went to review the official letter, Xianglan curled up on the chaise longue with a book in her hand to read, and came to add tea to him from time to time, the two were silent, but quiet and tranquil. Xianglan occasionally taught him to paint, and when he was tired of writing, he carried the lamp, pulled Xianglan to the yard to scatter, stole a few sips of incense from her at night, took her in his arms, smelled her fragrance, and felt that a qiē was very complete, as if he had lived for 30 years, and had just eaten a reassuring pill, and his happiness made him a little trance.

Xianglan was also secretly surprised in her heart, Lin Jinlou was originally a person who had a lot of entertainment, and walked in the wind and moon over the years, since she became a parent, all the entertainment outside was exempted, and she shirked but came back early, and she was very happy to be at home. But she is still a commanding bad temper, saying one thing or another, but the anger passed, and she saw that she was really wronged and ignored herself, so she came back cheekily and monkey on her, pretending to be stupid and stunned, as if there was nothing like that just now, which made people cry and laugh. Xianglan knew in her heart that this overlord would not be a gentle, modest and considerate little Langjun in her life, and she bullied her from time to time, insisting that she follow her own will, but she was happy when she saw that bastard, and she was indescribably down-to-earth.

On this day, Lin Jinlou and Xianglan were guests in the past, passing through Taiyu Building, Lin Jinlou remembered that this house made six kinds of vegetarian snacks, the taste is unique, so he sent someone to buy, Xianglan sat on the sedan chair and waited, opened a gap to look out, a tall and thin man came to him, looked at the familiar face, and walked in only to find that it was Xia Yun. I saw that he was dressed in a cyan robe, dressed plainly and blandly, with his cheeks concave, although he was not down, he was haggard and looked dazed, which was by no means comfortable.

When he walked over, Xianglan was still stunned, Guiyuan saw it in his eyes, stepped forward and said, "Grandma knows this person?" Xianglan said: "He is the prince of Xiaoxia, I have an old relationship with him, and I don't know how he is doing." ”

Gui Yuan took it to heart, asked Xia Yun's residence, really went to inquire, and came back and said to Xianglan: "This Xia Xianggong stripped his fame, and later changed his name and surname to take the exam in other provinces, but he only won the show, and he never won the promotion again, because of his bad reputation, he was squeezed, and he only relied on teaching a few children to be enlightened and make a few dollars by copying books for others." The year before last, he took the exam in another province, and his mother's family was seriously ill, and the silver was like running water, but it was not always good. His second sister-in-law couldn't stand it, and pouted her grandfather, and the two secretly locked the old lady in a separate room at night. Xia Yun came back to open the door to see, only to see that she was as thin as firewood, not human-shaped, and her feces and urine were left on the ground, and she was starved to death. The county magistrate dragged his two brothers and his family to be sentenced to a decisive sentence, and the brothers and sisters next to him were all beaten by the board, alas, pitiful, pitiful, I heard that he was also cold, and he packed up these days, and wanted to leave his family and go north to find a way out. ”

Xianglan was silent when she heard this, and the painting fan grabbed the money and gave it to Guiyuan, personally sent it out the door, and said in a low voice: "There are bags of dim sum in the cabinet outside, take it and eat it." Gui Yuan took the money to pinch the hand of the fan, and said with a smile: "It's still the girl who paints the fan, I feel sorry for us." The fan glared at him, and if he wanted to laugh or not, he flicked his braids and entered the house.

At night, the husband and wife were lying side by side on the bed, Jinlou stroked Xianglan's hair one by one, lazily, and Xianglan had a sentence of speech. He doesn't like to talk to women about his own affairs, he feels that the women have long hair and short knowledge, and they love to indulge in love, chewing and teasing right and wrong with their tongues, they can care about a word for a long time, and they can cry about things the size of a needle and nose, and he is really too lazy to take care of it. Xianglan is different, she speaks softly, her voice is soft, intelligent and reasonable, she never talks about right and wrong, she thinks about things calmly, talking to her is like taking a dose of cool medicine, her heart is open, and the worries and irritability in his official duties during the day gradually subsided. Although the joy of the bed is indescribable, but the whispering in the middle of the night, warm and stable, makes him feel ironed in his heart.

Xianglan talked to Lin Jinlou about Xia Yun, Lin Jinlou played with Xianglan's finger and said: "I heard that you kowtowed to him that day, and he is also karma now, so your anger is gone?" ”

Xianglan sighed: "Although he is a little pretentious, he is not a bad person, but he is not a good child, it can be seen that the family is not afraid of poverty, but he is afraid that the door style is not right." At the beginning, because of him, my father almost lost his life, I hated him very much, and then what hatred and hatred have long faded, I can't remember this person, you don't know, he was still a very neat little offspring, and now he is full of wind and frost, more than ten years old, and he knows that he has gone through ups and downs. Uncle, this fame will be repaid to him. ”

Lin Jinlou frowned slightly: "Repay him for his fame?" ”

"Well, it takes such a fame to study hard in the cold window, and there is always real talent and real learning." Xianglan pillowed on Lin Jinlou's arm and put her hand on his chest, "His reputation, even if he wins the Gongming, it will be difficult to be an official in the future, it is better than now." You hate me, I hate you, harm comes and goes, and it is really no fun to tie the grudge deeper. Besides, it's been so long, and he is not entirely to blame for what happened at the beginning. ”R1152
