Xianglan's face was flushed and she struggled desperately, Lin Jinlou pressed her in his arms impatiently, glared at Nuan Yue and yelled: "Stupid! I can't hold the plate, so don't get out of here! ”

Nuan Yue's face flushed, with tears in her eyes, and she shook her hands and packed up the plates and snacks scattered on the ground and retreated.

After making such a fuss, Lin Jinlou was also in no mood, kissed Xianglan on the face, and said, "I'll talk about it later." ”

Xianglan hurriedly broke free, sat back, hung her head, reached out to comb her loose sideburns, and put her hand down, a little at a loss. Now the room with Lin Jinlou is not as uncomfortable as it was at the beginning, but it also makes her afraid, Lin Jinlou is too strong, and every time she has to have fun, Xianglan is weak, it is inevitably difficult to accept, and her heart resists Lin Jinlou, and she looks forward to ending it soon every time. Lin Jinlou also occasionally went to the thrush and parrot's room, but most of them stayed with her, she was bored, but she didn't dare to show it. Xianglan stared at the silver chopsticks on the table, and suddenly realized that Lin Jinlou had never been to her room since Luan'er went out to play and sing for a few sons and daughters of the family last time.

After Lin Jinlou finished eating, he ordered someone to remove the remnants of the table, and he would handle official business next to the book, so he didn't show it for the time being.

said that Nuan Yue was scolded by Lin Jinlou and went back to the room crying. The house was quiet, she lived with Tinglan and Rushuang, and the two were not in the house at this time. There is an open mirror box on the table, and when the warm moon walks over, a melon seed face is reflected in the mirror, with two eyebrows bent and bent, a pair of apricot eyes, a white face, a plump body, and a fresh and tender willow general figure, which has its own set of style. Nuan Yue stared at the mirror for a long time, and tears rolled down her cheeks.

I don't know how long it took, the door "creaked" open, like frost pushed the door in, because Nuan Yue turned her back, she didn't see the tears on her face, and said to herself: "Amitabha, there is a smile on the face of an uncle today, two days ago, his face was gloomy, like the soul judge in the Yama Palace, it didn't make people panic...... Why are you sitting here? Fang Cai Lianxin also asked about you, saying that you should bring water in when Fang Cai cleaned up. He took off his outer clothes, put on a green satin armor, and said in his mouth: "Uncle is probably going to rest in the main room tonight, Tinglan is worth the second half of the night, ask the two of us who is worth the first half of the night." ”

Rushuang said once, and seeing that Nuan Yue still didn't speak, she stepped forward and pushed: "Talking to you, do you hear?" ”

Nuan Yue suddenly lay on the table and cried, Rushuang was startled, sat down beside her, and asked, "What's wrong?" Why did you cry so well? ”

Nuan Yuesu and Rushuang are sisters, and when she asked, she got up, wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Uncle is very affectionate, I'm afraid I have forgotten about the events of that day...... Just now I knocked over a plate and scolded me, Luan'er broke a jade bracelet worth dozens of taels of silver, and he also said that he fell well, it can be seen that I have no face in the Zhichun Pavilion anymore......" said and fell on the table and cried bitterly.

Rushuang sighed.

It turned out that before Lin Jinlou entered Beijing, the banquet guests ate too much wine, and when the little servants came back, it happened to be a warm moon. The capital "Chang'e loves young people since ancient times" Nuan Yue was originally interested in Lin Jinlou, so she spoke softly and was very attentive. Lin Jinlou was already a little angry, so he became a matter with Nuan Yue. Nuan Yue thinks that she has succeeded, and she will have a future in the future, and she can't help but be very happy. But who knew that the next day, Lin Jinlou seemed to have no such thing, and still called the warm moon as an ordinary maid. Nuan Yue was a little coquettish and stupid, describing intimacy, Lin Jinlou only laughed a few words, and then threw away his hand.

Nuan Yue's heart was half discouraged, but she was still looking forward to it, who knew that Lin Jinlou came back from the capital and promoted Luan'er to be a room, and later took Xianglan into the house, and all the women in the back house actually retreated. Nuan Yue became more and more desperate, and she cried quietly every day, but these days she looked coldly, Xianglan was an honest person who didn't like to compete for favor, but avoided Lin Jinlou in everything, so she felt that she could give it a go, but she didn't want to be scolded by Lin Jinlou again. Seeing that she was getting older, her heart became more and more sad.

Rushuang persuaded: "You know the uncle's temper, what about Luan'er, it's not thrown aside after the freshness." You bear with it, and when Xianglan gets tired of seeing the uncle, there will be a day when you will come out. As he spoke, he didn't feel like it, so he shut up and said secretly: "There are no beauties around the uncle, those who can be lifted are not only beautiful, but also can play and sing, except for one pandan, but look at that appearance, you can know why the uncle is fascinated." Although Nuan Yue is also a beauty, she is only medium, she has all the color, but she is not outstanding, if it weren't for the uncle's drunkenness that night, it would be her turn to be on duty at night, otherwise how could there be such a thing. "My heart is a little sour, but I secretly like that Lin Jinlou has never lifted the warm moon. She and Nuan Yue are about the same size, so there is a secret comparison in her heart, lest she be lower than Nuan Yue, and now that Nuan Yue has encountered this, although she also sighed, there was a trace of schadenfreude and smugness in her heart.

Nuan Yue wept to herself again, comforting her like frost, and couldn't help but say: "Otherwise, or you will rest your heart!" Nuan Yue cried more and more when she heard this, and Rushuang saw that she was not good, so she didn't bother to persuade her, and returned to the front to serve.

Nuan Yue cried once, feeling lazy on her body, and she didn't dare to let the little girl see it with tears on her face, so she wiped her face with a handkerchief and went to fetch hot water by herself.

When I went out and entered the tea room, I saw that the magpie was inside, and when I saw her, I smiled and said, "Our aunt and grandmother were talking about Sister Nuanyue just now, but I happened to meet them here." ”

Nuan Yueqiang smiled: "What is my aunt looking for me? ”

Magpie said: "It's nothing, I heard that you are skillful, you can embroider in Hunan Province, and my aunt wants to ask you to come over and teach it later." ”

Nuan Yue didn't want to go, but the magpie was full of flattery and auspicious words, and she was held to ten points, and the thrush was friendly with her in the past day, so she had to agree, fetch water and go back to wash her face, and then came to the east chamber. As soon as I entered the room, I smelled a sweet and silky fruity aroma, which was originally emitted from a lotus huā ding furnace on the table. The room was quiet, with garnet-red curtains and chairs all around, and a chirping bird in a cage, constantly flapping its wings.

The thrush has not yet removed his makeup, but his hair is half scattered, wearing a homely dark blue peony group embroidered gown, jujube red silk trousers, crooked on the Xiangfei couch, and a white cat in his hand. I saw that her starry eyes were half-closed, and her pink face had a red and plump mouth, which was very beautiful.

When the thrush heard the footsteps, he opened his eyes slightly, and when he saw Nuan Yue coming in, he quickly sat up, and said with a smile while pulling his hair: "Look at me, I said that I was going to fall asleep after a while, and I didn't hear you come in." A stack of voices commanded, "Magpie, make tea quickly." I personally went to take Nuan Yue's hand and sat with her on the Xiangfei couch.

Nuan Yue hurriedly said: "Grandma doesn't have to be busy, I don't know what Grandma wants to embroider?" ”

The thrush smiled: "What are you busy with, you rarely come over, let's talk, and then ask you about needlework." ”

The magpie served tea, put it on the small few next to it, and quietly retreated.

Thrush and Nuan Yue said a little gossip about the people in the house, just follow Nuan Yue's mind, and quietly held a couple of sentences, and said: "I am looking at you in front of me, you are a sharp child in the main room now, the lotus heart is like a wood, Tinglan is honest and overdone, like frost is a little smart, but the eyes are not a peace, it looks like you, not only the appearance of the character, but also a good needlework, I don't know who in the future, can take a beauty like you." ”

These words touched Nuan Yue's heart, and reminded her of her sadness, so she sighed and said: "What's the use of being smart, it's just annoying." ”

The thrush said: "Good sister, how can you say such a thing, you are just a good Fengyue......" The eyeballs turned, and the body leaned slightly towards the thrush: "I naturally know what my sister wants, being a woman is just that idea, can you hide it from my eyes?" That's why I'm inviting my sister here now. ”

Nuan Yue was taken aback, looked up at the thrush, and said, "Auntie said such a thing, but I don't know." ”

Thrush scoffed, "What's wrong with this?" Just look at the look in your uncle's eyes, I will know everything, I heard that I have been close to the uncle, yes or no? I'm ...... I can help you. ”

Nuan Yuedeng's face flushed, and she said after a long time: "Auntie and grandma are sharp-eyed, but the uncle is a lucky one, and when he turned his head and had a new person, he forgot about me." ”

Thrush sneered: "Men, all have a virtue, as long as you have a few things, no one will not worship under your pomegranate skirt, the first must have the appearance of a fairy; second, you must have a full style of conversation; third, know the height of the eyebrows and eyes, and know how to serve people; Fourth, we must endure our temperament and endure loneliness; Fifth, you must know how to take money, you can't give enough at one time, and you will hang him forever, and you will lead him to lose his hand. ”

Nuan Yue lowered her head and said: "Grandma is high-minded, but although I have a look, I am not a fairy, and I can't take the latter few things...... I wonder how my grandmother can help me? ”

The thrush said: "It's not difficult for the uncle to change his mind, but it's just a matter of getting some means." Beckoned Nuan Yue to come over, whispered something in her ear, and then held Nuan Yue's hand and said softly: "This thing is as simple as that, if it is done, make sure that your wishes come true...... I can't do this either, seeing that the uncle sees the sky at the little hooves of Xianglan, I am also anxious, isn't it? Now you and I have joined forces to protect you and me. ”

Nuan Yue moved her lips and said, "This thing can really be done, this ......"

The thrush said with a smile: "Naturally, it can be done, and it is not for you to kill people and set fires, but a light and clever little thing has never harmed anyone." The main room is only accessible to a few of you decent maids, right? He patted Nuan Yue's hand and said, "Good sister, think about your future." ”

When Warm Moon came out of the East Chamber, she couldn't help but feel worried. The magpie looked at her back and said to the thrush, "Auntie, can this be done?" She won't say it? ”

Thrush closed her eyes and said: "Don't worry, she won't, now she is at the end of her rope, but coax her to do a small thing, she will have to agree sooner or later." ”

That night, Nuan Yue was on duty outside the main room, faintly hearing the movement in the room, and couldn't help tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep. Lin Jinlou asked for water twice at night, and the warm moon brought water inside, and saw the spring color in the curtain, and felt more and more bad, and kept his eyes open until dawn. On the second day, he went and knocked on the door of the east chamber. (To be continued.)
