The maid hurriedly said, "I'll have to stay up for a while." Tan muttered two sentences, obviously dissatisfied. Xianglan couldn't help but glance at the maid more, and said in her ear: "This maid's name is Siluo, serving the second master, she was originally the most decent in the second master's room, but the second grandmother didn't tolerate her when she entered the door...... This is no longer a decoction for the sake of the medicine. ”

Xianglan couldn't help but look at it when she heard this, and saw that the maid was sixteen or seventeen years old, born delicately, with apricot eyes and peach cheeks, and indeed had a bit of character. The maid took a handkerchief and put the handle of the casserole on it, carefully poured the medicine into the small porcelain bowl, and suddenly heard Tan's scolding: "Don't hurry up!" ”

Siro was startled, her hand was crooked, and the medicine was burning on her wrist and turned red, so she only endured the pain, wiped it with a handkerchief, and went in with the medicine. When Xianglan saw her description, she remembered the situation when she was a girl for Cao Lihuan, and she couldn't help but feel pity in her heart, and she lifted her skirt into the house, and heard Tan Shi scolding Siluo: "Clumsy, you can't do this little thing well, and you are left for idle dinner?" When Tan saw Xianglan and them coming in, he couldn't help but stop talking, ordered Siluo to serve tea, stood up and said, "Why are you here?" ”

Xianglan said with a smile: "Uncle heard that the second master is sick, don't worry, let's come over and have a look." He pointed to the basket, "Here is a freshly boiled bird's nest, with medicinal herbs added to it, and while the medicinal properties are not dispersed, let the second master use some of them." He handed the ruler in his arms to Tan Shidao, "You take this material, cut a skirt to wear, and when my aunt and grandmother came back, she said that the most fashionable garnet red skirt in Beijing is now." ”

Tan Shi took the ruler and looked at it, only to see that the light was silky and the color was bright, and a smile appeared on his face, saying, "Yo, this is Beijing silk?" How good it is for you to keep such good material for yourself. ”

Xianglan smiled: "I still have it." ”

Tan is the age of good color, there are a few good clothes, but there are not many, she has long wanted to make a red dress, but she thinks that the color bought outside is not correct, but the high-quality silk is three or four taels of silver, she feels that the flesh hurts, and she is a bride, it is not good to ask for her mother-in-law, and now she has this ruler but her wish, so she does not shirk, and orders the maid to collect this material, and she has a little more smile at Xianglan, but she sees the half arm worn by her god Saha, and the material is more than one point better than the Beijing silk given to her, and she is unhappy in her heart, and secretly feels that Xianglan is stingy.

The two talked about Lin Jinxuan's illness once, and Tan only sighed: "The second master is so young that his bones are not strong, and I don't know if he will be able to ...... in the future" said that his eyes were red.

Xianglan comforted: "Good maintenance, the Lin family can afford to eat any expensive medicine, I don't think the second master is very sick, but the small problems are constant, and it is better to get better, and I will invite two good doctors to take a look in the future." ”

Tan just shook his head, Lin Jinxuan coughed for half a night yesterday, and she didn't sleep well, so if she went on like this, she would either be widowed or widowed, and she would be lonely in the end, and there would always be a medicinal gas in the house, which made her chest feel stuffy. Now that she has just married in, she already feels that she is a hard worker, and she really doesn't know how to spend her long years in the future. It's just that she was ashamed to say this, and Xianglan just had a general relationship with her. said in his mouth: "Actually, you are a little blessed, the uncle is healthy and powerful." ”

Xianglan smiled faintly: "What a blessing, it's just a little concubine, today's uncle still loves pets, so he gets two points of scenery, but 'a thousand miles of banquet must eventually be dispersed', I only heard the newcomer laughing, I didn't hear the old man crying, and I don't know what to do in the future." ”

Seeing that Xianglan was glamorous, Tan was still a little jealous, but after hearing these words, he felt a little more comfortable, and rushed out: "It is said that beauty is twilight, and there is some truth in this." ”

Shuran frowned when she listened to it, but Xianglan still smiled lightly on her face and didn't say anything.

Tan Shi said it only when he realized that he had spoken impulsively, and he was a little embarrassed, but when he saw that Xianglan didn't show a little on her face, as if she hadn't heard it, she was relieved.

Shuran said: "It's not early, let's take our leave first." Xianglan stood up and said goodbye from the kindness, and when she got out of the courtyard, Shuran said in a low voice: "The second grandmother doesn't have a door, so she throws everything out." It's a loss that she was born in a civil official family, and her grandmother's money is full, but she can speak like a knife, and she doesn't know how to leave some virtues. ”

Xianglan said: "She is so young, and she married such a frail and sickly husband, it is normal for people to be unhappy in their hearts, just catch us and spread a few evil fires." I don't know what the second grandfather's body will be like in the future, and the second grandmother is actually a poor person. "If the Tan family is so honest, it would be fine, but Xianglan saw her wearing today, a concubine-colored peony flower sleeve jacket, a water-green skirt, her hair was curled high, and her face was glossy and pink - now that her husband is sick, she is still in the mood to modify her appearance, and it is obvious that she is a person with a very lively mind and a very fond of coquettishness. With a body like Lin Jinxuan, it is obvious that he can't mess with her Fengyue...... Thinking of this, Xianglan shook her head and said, "If the Tan family can't control her temperament, she will have to boil it in the future." ”

When I returned to the courtyard, the medicine had already been caught, and Shuran was busy decocting the medicine, decoction and warmth, and staring at Xianglan to take it. Xianglan was reluctant in every way, so she had to swallow with her neck straight, she couldn't help but feel anxious, she only felt that if she was pregnant with Lin Jinlou's heir, she would only be able to be a little wife in this life, could it be that she could be ruthless, don't want this child, and only earn it by herself in the future? If you take your children with you, there is only one way to sneak, but you still have your aging parents, where can you run? Xianglan had been nesting listlessly in the warm pavilion, lying with her face against the wall, and fell asleep with her cranky thoughts.

When I woke up, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, and Xianglan sat up, her head cloudy, and she didn't know what day it was. Lingqing was doing needlework by the kang, and when he saw Xianglan waking up, he put down his work and said, "Grandma is awake, do you want to eat tea?" Uncle socializes at night, let Shuangxi come back to deliver the letter, say that if you don't come back to eat, what will grandma use at night? ”

Xianglan wiped her face, sobered up a little, and said while dressing and going to the ground: "Be light, stir-fry two green vegetables, there was a hundred mushroom soup yesterday." Lingqing sent the little girl to the kitchen to ask for food.

After dinner, when Xianglan played the remnants of chess alone against the chess game, she suddenly thought about it, and it was already like this, so she let it go, she was at a loss now, and she had to come to cover up the water, no matter how anxious she was, she was just torturing herself. Thinking of this layer, Xianglan ordered the fan to collect the chess, talked a few words with the maids, and then made the bed and slept.

Half-asleep and half-awake, I only heard the sound of talking outside, and then the curtain was lifted, Lin Jinlou stumbled and sat on the kang, took off his clothes and threw them on the ground, pulled open the quilt and lay down, and a strong smell of wine came to his nose.

Xianglan half sat up, leaned over, and wanted to lift the curtain of the bed, let the maid on duty at night bring the sobering soup and hot tea, and then twist the hot towel, but when she got close to Lin Jinlou, she found that he not only smelled of wine, but also had a greasy fragrance. Xianglan's two beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, and when she looked down, she saw Lin Jinlou lying motionless with his eyes closed. After a stunned effort, Lin Jinlou suddenly stretched out his arm and pulled her into his arms. Xianglan struggled hurriedly, Lin Jinlou turned over and pressed it, muttering, "What are you tossing?" ”

Xianglan bit her lip and parted her face, Lin Jinlou ignored her dodge and kissed her on the lips, Xianglan turned sideways and rushed to the wall, Lin Jinlou stuck behind her, his arms were across her, and his face was tied in Xianglan's hair. Xianglan didn't move, she stiffened and lay upright, thinking that if Lin Jinlou was happy with the woman next to her, the spring would not disappear at this time, and she would come to her again, and she felt an indescribable embarrassment and bitterness. She waited quietly for a moment, wanting to quietly move Lin Jinlou's arm away, but as soon as she moved, she heard Lin Jinlou say lazily: "Don't move." ”

Xianglan had already sensed Lin Jinlou's powerful thighs, and the words had hardened and poked her buttocks, and she didn't dare to move again. Lin Jinlou has always done what he wants, if he is happy, there will be no food in the room, Xianglan is afraid that he will move again. Tonight's situation made her extremely unbearable, and she was afraid that she would displease Lin Jinlou and cause some trouble. She lay down quietly, thinking in her heart that she had drawn half of the paintings, played half of the chess, made half of the needlework, and thought about her days in the temple in bits and pieces, and in her previous life, she went to the house of her old friend with her father and mother as a guest, and went to visit a very delicate and beautiful garden, as if the garden belonged to the Lu family, and it seemed to be the Lu family, when she was still young, there were always two horns on her head, and she took a peach blossom to tease the fish in the lake, and then the nurse hurriedly took her away...... The events of her previous life were so long ago that she thought she was just dreaming.

Xianglan was thinking wildly, and she didn't know when she fell asleep. When he woke up the next day, he found that he was stuck in Lin Jinlou's arms, he was holding his arms open, exposing his strong chest, breathing heavily, as if he was sleeping soundly, and his other hand was still wrapped around her waist. There was a faint sound of footsteps outside the curtain, and Xue Ning asked in a low voice, "Do you want to scream?" "Usually, at this time, Lin Jinlou should get up and practice martial arts.

Lingqing hesitated: "Uncle ate too much wine last night, and came back late......" said and listened attentively, and heard Lin Jinlou's shallow snoring inside, so he said: "Uncle hasn't woken up yet...... Why don't you ask Sister Shuran? ”

So they discussed it.

Xianglan sat up gently, put on her clothes, carefully lifted the curtain, put on her shoes and got out of bed, it happened that Shuran led people in, and saw that Xianglan got up earlier than in the past, so she was busy letting the maids go to serve, and saw that Lin Jinlou slept sweetly, so she discussed with Xianglan: "Uncle came back late yesterday, let him sleep more today, and call up again when the time comes?" "I secretly said in my heart, when the uncle came back last night, he was so drunk that his legs couldn't stand steadily, he vomited after drinking the wine soup, and he staggered, and the son of the Chu family was afraid that he would fall while riding a horse, so he specially gave the sedan chair he was riding to the uncle to send him back. In the past, the uncle had already stayed outside, and the most popular girls in the capital didn't keep the uncle's legs, and the uncle asked the doctor to give her a child and raise an heir. RS
