Let's say that Lin Dongqi's wedding date is getting closer and closer, and the Lin family is getting busier and busier. On the contrary, the Chiharu Pavilion has become the most idle place. Xianglan only walks in the yard once, or goes back to the house to paint, and can hear the sound of pipa and hanging voice in the crooked room every day, and the thrush occasionally sings on the piano. Before going to bed, the chick made the bed for Xianglan, saw Xianglan lying down, and quietly glanced at Xianglan when she put the curtain down, and said: "Uncle likes to listen to music the most, Sister Xianglan, you made him unhappy when the uncle left, or you also practice a song, you sing it to the uncle, and keep him anywhere."

Xianglan closed her eyes to herself. The chick didn't say any more, blew out the lights and left.

Pandan opened her eyes wide in the darkness. Since Lin Jinlou left, she moved back to the east room to live, and she didn't let the maid be on duty at night, only lying on the bed alone with the quilt, and she had to toss and turn several times every time to fall asleep. The people around her, Chunling and Xiaoge, all hoped that she would get along with Lin Jinlou, and they comforted her openly and secretly. Yesterday, two daughters-in-law from outside the house came to measure her, saying that Lin Dongqi was married, and Lin Jinlou asked someone to come back and let them make two festive clothes.

Xianglan is reluctant to tailor new clothes, Lin Dongqi's wedding, what does it have to do with her? In fact, she herself admitted that in her heart, she deeply envied the second girl of the Lin family, and was faintly jealous. Lin Dongqi is like the one in her previous life, with a decent family background, loving her grandparents and parents, ten miles of red makeup and scenery, married to a gentle and promising man. On other people's festive days, her sadness and pity are more and more highlighted, even if she doesn't want to feel sorry for herself, she doesn't want to join in the fun.

Chunling and Xiaoji both persuaded her to make new clothes, and Xiaoji said: "Others can only do two, and the uncle said that the girl just came to the house and has nothing to add, so I want to cut a few pieces." Hmph, the duck knew that he had lost his face at that time, and threw the door loudly. ”

Chunling's face was embarrassed: "This is the uncle's speech, let's still do two, seeing that it is about to fall, just add seasonal clothes, silk, singeing, are all high-quality materials, please be the tailor of Ni Shang Zhai, the craftsmanship is very good." ”

Since Lin Jinlou spoke, it was the Buddha's decree, and this dress had to be made. Chunling ushered in two women in their thirties, and gestured on Xianglan with a ruler, looking respectful.

There is a slightly chubby one who can speak, and said with a smile: "Hey, hey, how many inner houses have I been in and out of, I have seen all pretty little beauties, and there are so many beauties like the Lin family, which is really rare." I just went to see Brother Li's girl, Miss Yang'er, I felt that it was a great beauty, who knew that I saw the aunt and grandmother in the East Chamber, and only then did I know what it means to have a mountain outside the mountain, I thought I had enough knowledge, but looking at this grandmother, I understood what it means to be a fairy. ”

Xianglan only smiled slightly, and said in her heart: "People who often go in and out of the inner house like this, serving rich people to buy and sell, have their own set of rivers and lakes." From the food and housing, you can see that Brother Ping and Wan'er are just some decent maids, but the thrush is called "aunt and grandmother", which is naturally different from them. The two of them knew that Lin Jinlou had not married another wife since they separated from the Zhao family, and when they saw that I lived in the main house, it was difficult to determine who I was, but the distinguished guests wanted to please me, so they simply pressed the name "Grandma, the name is on my head, and I praise it one after another." ”

The other thinner one respectfully asked Xianglan what clothes she wanted to make. Xianglan said: "Just make a jacket and a thicker skirt, you can wear it often." Chunling felt that it was not decent enough, and said: "How can such an idea be enough!" And he consulted with the man.

Xianglan knew that Chunling liked to show off her talents the most, so she went, only sat on the chaise longue and looked out the window, only to see that although the leaves were still thick and green, the wind was getting cooler, and sure enough, autumn was coming.

Chunling discussed the clothes and materials with the two tailors for a while, and Xianglan took a look, with a narrow jacket, a skirt with a thin waist and a red bandeau, all of which were selected according to Lin Jinlou's preferences.

Xianglan understood that Chunling had good intentions, but she just wondered, why did there be so many maids in the Lin family who were looking forward to climbing into his bed with such a tyrannical person as Lin Jinlou? She just wanted to get away from it, but now there was no way, she had to find a way to get home, talk to her mother before planning.

Xianglan thought about it for a while before falling asleep, and there was a noise outside at night, so she quickly sat up, lifted the curtains of the bed and looked out, but saw that it was dark outside, so she put down the curtain and lay down to sleep again.

In the early morning of the second day, Xianglan woke up very early, and Chunling chicks and others had not come over to wake her up.

She put on a purple coat and got out of bed with her shoes on. The sky was dark, and there was silence everywhere, and the maids had not yet gotten up, but there was a pot of steaming tea on the hall and the door was open.

Xianglan was wondering, suddenly heard footsteps, turned her head to look, only to see a tall man walking in, naked and sturdy upper body, only a pair of green silk pants underneath, and lined with strong and slender legs, stepping on a pair of satin boots, carrying a knife in his hand, murderous, domineering, sweat beads down his neck.

Shuangxi followed behind him, busy violating the hand towel and the small teapot, he took it, and scolded while wiping his sweat: "Those grandsons see that the grandfather is not here these days, they must be eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, I just tried two hands this morning, and my legs and stomach trembled, I don't know which girl came with yesterday and wrapped her legs, so that the nursing home is raising and eating white rice?" A bunch of bastards should be beaten with military sticks! He looked up at Xianglan and was stunned.

Xianglan didn't expect Lin Jinlou to appear out of thin air, her face turned pale with shock, she was dumbfounded, her legs were staggered, and she took two steps back, almost knocking down the beauty bag on the case.

Lin Jinlou only saw a girl in a gown and a middle coat standing there, with black hair and beautiful face, a ray of morning light shining on her face, her face was so white that it seemed to be transparent, she was as light as a shallow shadow, her face was full of fright, she was in a hurry, and there was a pitiful taste. He was just about to speak, but he caught a glimpse of Shuangxi before leaving, and he also looked at Xianglan in a daze. Lin Jinlou was furious and scolded: "What are you doing here!" Get out of here! Shuangxi came back to his senses at this time, slammed the spirit, and ran out in a hurry.

Xianglan was also startled, like a frightened rabbit, and wanted to hide behind the chair.

Lin Jinlou looked her up and down, took a few teas to eat, and walked past her with steady steps. Then Shi Shiran went to the bedroom.
