Lin Jinlou glanced at Xianglan and said, "I'm done with Ming'er, I'll take you out to play, the peach blossoms are blooming at the Twenty-Four Bridge, there are many people during the day, and I will go to enjoy the moon at night." ”

Hearing this, Xianglan hurriedly raised her head. She had long wanted to go around, but she hid in Tibet before, and it was not easy to go out alone when she entered the monastery, so she missed a lot of scenery back and forth.

Lin Jinlou saw Xianglan staring at him with a pair of big eyes, and he was very proud, and secretly said that he had not guessed wrong, why did he not expect that Xianglan, who can write and paint, has the temperament of some literati and ink writers, and likes to wander among the mountains and rivers, which is different from those women who only know how to dress up and serve people in the inner house. But he said with the corners of his mouth tightened: "Your little personality is awkward, if you want to go out to play and say no to the master, it's like a stuffy gourd, you have nothing to say when you see the master, you keep your head down all day long, and you're about to become a little old man." After two more busy days, we will go back to Jinling. Miss your mom and dad, right? When you go back, let you go home and stay for two days, or bring your parents in for a few days. ”

Xianglan was stunned, what she misses most these days is her parents, she couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth, and remembered that when Lin Jinlou found her and brought her back, she thought all the way in the carriage, she crawled out of the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den, according to Lin Jinlou's temperament, and maybe how to torture and rectify her, he almost strangled himself if he provoked him before, this time, I just hoped that he could see that he saved his mother and sister, and show mercy, but I didn't expect Lin Jinlou to put this matter down gently...... Maybe Lin Jinlou's personality has really changed? She squirmed, and just wanted to say "thank you" to Lin Jinlou, but heard him say: "They don't know about your escape, so you don't know about it." ”

“…… Oh. ”

"Don't just 'oh', dare you try it next time."

Xianglan lowered her head and stared at the pastry in front of her and was silent again, thinking that she had just felt that Lin Jinlou was soft, but the next sentence began to threaten herself, and sure enough, this was Lin Jinlou's true face.

Lin Jinlou furrowed his brows, and felt a little regretful in his heart, just now that he was so good, this woman was as timid as a mouse, and couldn't help but scare, how could he forget it, she was too, she wouldn't learn to be likable, and the woman next to her had already known to come over and be coquettish, and said: "Master, I don't dare anymore." "What else can he be angry about?

Seeing that the atmosphere was stiff, Lin Jinlou snorted, stretched out his hand and brought the piece of cake poked by Xianglan to him, and ate it in two bites.

After eating, the maid removed the dishes, offered tea to rinse her mouth, cleaned her hands with a towel, and after a while, she brought hot tea again and set out the fruits. Xianglan still wanted to flip through the book again, but Lin Jinlou felt that she was not good enough, so he ordered her to take a nap. Lin Jinlou has always spoken like a mountain of military orders, Xianglan can only obey and cannot resist, so she has to lie obediently in the bed, and her body is tightly wrapped in a brocade quilt. He sat barefoot on the outside of the bed, flipping through the posts and gift slips on a silver platter.

Xianglan secretly narrowed her eyes into a slit and glanced at Lin Jinlou twice, only to see him frowning slightly, with an impatient face, dividing the post into several piles. For the first time, Xianglan found that Lin Jinlou was handsome, with long eyebrows and sideburns, eyes like electricity, a straight nose, with a heroic and domineering spirit, tall and pine, but his temperament was too explosive, and he was ruthless and unscrupulous, and he raised his hand to beat people when he didn't agree. She closed her eyes and thought wildly, and before she knew it, she fell asleep.

Lin Jinlou divided the post and ordered Lingqing to give it to Jixiang. He stretched his waist and turned his head, only to see that Xianglan was already asleep, her face was flushed, and he scolded in a low voice: "A woman who has no heart." When he came back, Menzi told him that Yuan Shaoren had come, and sent a box, saying that it was something that his grandmother had used, so he ordered someone to carry the box, opened it, and saw three or four coarse cloth clothes, a thicker robe, and a rough little wooden box.

Lin Jinlou tossed twice, and then put it aside in disgust. The rest is the scriptures and manuscripts, and there are a few volumes of paintings that have been framed, Lin Jinlou unfolded them one by one, only to see the landscape, characters, flowers and birds, all kinds of themes, or majestic, or freehand, or delicate, or graceful, it is really unique, indescribable elegance.

Lin Jinlou was immediately taken aback, and couldn't help but blurt out: "Good painting!" Surprised, she looked back at the woman on the bed, and never imagined that Xianglan would have such ability. Today's most famous talented woman is Jiang Feiyun, the daughter of Jiang Xuecheng, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University in the capital, who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially good at Danqing, and once had a picture of Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum painted by her friends in the boudoir, which was sought after by a group of princes and grandsons. He also joined in the fun and saw that it was painted well, but compared with the painting of Xianglan, I don't know how many mountains are missing. And pandan poems and books are wonderful, can also play chess and play the piano, when he was a maid before, it was not obvious, when he was raised in the room, but more and more I saw that she was good at eating and wearing, everyone showed all kinds of etiquette and upbringing, elegant style, a style is more like Miss Qianjin than Zhao Yuechan's generation, where is the slave seed, it is clearly like a hairpin raised by a family, and it is definitely not a girl raised in a cold place like a temple.

Lin Jinlou stared thoughtfully at the pandan water lily for a long time, and put the painting back into the box.

Xianglan woke up in the afternoon, and it was quiet outside, and there was a faint sound of the maid talking. She slept softly, sat up and opened the curtain to look out, only to see Lingqing and Lingsu were unpacking and packing up things, one said: "Bring two more thick clothes, it's still cold at night." The other said, "Cover the quilt with you, in case grandma wants to rest on the couch outside." Do you have snacks and tea? How many boxes of fruit to wear? As he was talking, he looked up and saw that Xianglan had gotten up, so he hurriedly went over and said, "Grandma woke up, do you want to eat tea?" ”

Xianglan opened her mouth, her voice a little hoarse, and said, "What are you busy with?" ”

Lingqing said with a smile: "Uncle asked me to clean up, saying that I would take my grandmother to go shopping, and I would leave after a while." ”

Xianglan was stunned again, didn't Lin Jinlou say "wait for him to finish his work in two days" before going. But going out to the end makes people happy, she has just eaten half a bowl of tea, this Lingsu has already brought her clothes to Xianglan to change, and picked out jewelry to comb her hair, and put four or five bracelets on her hands. As she was cleaning up, Lin Jinlou stepped in, Xianglan hurriedly stood up, Lin Jinlou saw that she was wearing a red colorful sleeved robe, a green flower skirt with gold branches, leaf yarn, and a mandarin duck belt around her waist, and gold pressed sleeves on her wrists, and a pile of pearls and emeralds on her head, which made her white jade peach-like face more and more delicate. Lin Jinlou squinted and looked up and down, Xianglan was a little uncomfortable, but saw Lin Jinlou nodding and said, "Oh, it's good for you to dress like this." After saying that, he walked gracefully to the hall.

Xianglan hadn't come back to her senses yet, and Lingqing said proudly: "Did grandma hear that?" Uncle said that it looks good, and I also said that grandma has a snow-white complexion, so she is beautiful when she wears such a dazzling and delicate one. Xianglan was surprised when she looked at herself, she was thinking about going out, absent-mindedly at the mercy of others, but she didn't expect the maid to wear such beautiful clothes for her and wear these hairpin rings. In her previous life, she was in the Shen family, and she actually loved to dress up like this, and later married Xiao Hang as a bride, so she loved to wear red ...... Later, she didn't wear such clothes, and she became Lin Jinlou's concubine, but she cut a few red clothes, but she always avoided such a serious wedding color, I don't know if she felt that she was unworthy, or what kind of anger she had. Today, the big red clothes on her body are like a world away, which shocks her spirit.

After cleaning up for a while, Xianglan went to the hall, Lin Jinlou was sitting on the Luohan bed next to him reading the letterhead, on the kang table in his hand was placed a cup of wolfberry pork rib soup, a cup of large tonic soup, and there were delicate buns, noodles and other things on the pink and white plates, as well as two or three kinds of chicken feet, chicken wings and other side dishes. By this time, the rain had long since ceased outside, and the sunlight was shining on him through the half-open carved window, making him particularly tall. After a while, he also changed into his clothes for going out out of nowhere, wearing a lotus green bucket pattern icing on the cake and a foreign thread crane, which was a blue inlaid blue jacquard python satin cotton robe, tied with an eight-treasure belt, and the hair on his head was also curled in a white jade crown. Xianglan Xin said that he looked like a dog when he dressed up like this, and people who didn't know his details saw him and really felt that he was a handsome man among the majestic and heroic people.

Lin Jinlou heard the movement, looked up at Xianglan, and said with his chin to the other side of the kang table: "Sit." ”

Xianglan sat down, Lingqing had already brought a cup of soup, lifted the lid, and said, "First drink a bowl of tonic soup to appetize." Does grandma eat vegetarian buns? ”

Pandan couldn't figure out which meal she was eating at this hour.

Lin Jinlou said: "Give her a share like this." Ling Qing replied and retreated.

Lin Jinlou looked at the letter in his hand and suddenly sneered, and threw it aside: "Lu Shaotang's turtle son is still shaking his wit with the master, and the Barbatto people said that they thought that the master really didn't dare to touch him. The master killed him this time, and if he had the ability, he asked Yushi to impeach Lao Tzu. Rubbing his eyebrows as he spoke, he couldn't find anyone to be ruthless a while ago, and sent someone to kill Lu Shaotang's several capable generals quietly, leaving Lu Shaotang with a light pole, so that he could not survive and die. In the past three months, if he hadn't been looking for Chen Xianglan, who was not worried, he would have finished cleaning up Lu Shaotang a long time ago, and he would still be able to let this guy stumble to this day. But he can't mention this, the woman in front of him is so easy for him to get back, he can't mess it up anymore, Xianglan is still like a frightened rabbit, he doesn't want to see her trembling appearance.

Lin Jinlou thought about it, so he put a bun on the plate in front of Xianglan, and said with a smile: "I was busy just now, and I felt that I was hungry, so I will eat again, you can also use some, and go out for a walk after eating." There is a garden behind this house, which is built next to Baoyang Lake, locked on weekdays, let's go over to see the scenery, there is a rockery pavilion in the garden, and can overlook the twenty-four bridges. ”

Xianglan saw that he still had a gloomy face, smiling coldly, and laughing like a midsummer June flower, she was really moody, and she didn't dare to provoke him, she used less at noon, and she was hungry this time, so she obediently ate something.

Lin Jinlou looked at Xianglan's appearance of drinking soup and chewing things, and his heart was satisfied, and he only felt that this meal was harmonious and beautiful. After eating, he rinsed his mouth with tea, then took Xianglan out of the house, and ordered someone to take a bamboo sedan chair to carry Xianglan into the garden.

Xianglan has been sick these days, almost without leaving the house, never expected that there is a hole in the back of this yard, into the half-moon arch, you will see a thousand bamboos covered, flowers and trees, rockeries into fun, fascinating.

Xianglan couldn't help but get out of the sedan chair and walked inward along the road made of stones. Lin Jinlou said: "This garden is a little smaller, but it is exquisite, it is your own home, you go shopping, and the master will take you to a better one in a few days." "While talking, I also looked around to play.

This house was originally placed by him in Yangzhou, and later Chu Dapeng took out some of the silver from the dividends in the salt merchant association at the end of the year, and quietly bought the land behind him, and picked up the house, and actually built a garden along the lake for him as a thank you gift, although the garden is not very big, but the layout is unique, strange flowers and plants, all kinds of strange stones, unique, Lin Jinlou smiled.

Walk not far, sure enough, I saw a mountain, there is an octagonal embroidery floor on the mountain, the two of them went up along the bluestone slab stone steps, there are already people in the embroidery floor to clean up, spread the brocade carpet, hang the embroidery curtain, the golden beast on the red sandalwood table is still slowly emitting green smoke in the mouth. When the maids and ladies saw that the master was coming, they were busy offering tea and fruits.

Xianglan pushed open the red window with a color carved with fresh patterns, and saw the sparkling lake outside the wall, and there was a flying rainbow standing on the water not far away, such as a jade belt floating, like a neon lying wave, which made people suddenly feel bright.

At this time, only the faint sound of silk and bamboo came, and a woman sang tactfully. Lin Jinlou frowned slightly, got up and pushed the other side of the Zhu window open, Xianglan couldn't help but look over, it turned out that Lin Jinting had nothing to do, and beckoned Liu Xiaochuan and others to eat and drink in a hall called "Chuntai Mingyue" in the garden. Because the rain stopped in the afternoon and the weather was fine, a table was set up outside the house, and you can also enjoy plums, peaches and apricots and other flowers. I invited a few famous people to play and sing to help the fun, only to see some holding the pipa in their arms, some stroking the qin, and some toasting during the banquet, with heavy makeup and light touches. There was a man in a pink coat and a blue satin skirt, holding a small board with red teeth, babbling and singing. There are also wearing green and gold armor all over the place, the phoenix hairpin is half-unloaded, the fat is pink, and the eyebrows are dancing and dancing, and at the end it attracted a group of men to laugh, and they all picked up the wine glass and drank, and the woman also drank a cup, her face was red and slightly drunk, and a man couldn't help but forget his feelings, and took the woman to kiss him, and the woman seemed to be shy, and wanted to refuse to welcome, and the boy's buddies applauded.

After living for two lifetimes, it was the first time for Xianglan to see such a scene, her eyes couldn't help but widen, and she opened her mouth wide and asked, "Is this ...... Is this drinking flower wine? Everyone kissed and smacked their tongues in front of everyone, and Xianglan was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

Lin Jinlou raised his eyebrows, looking at Xianglan's surprised little appearance, he only felt interesting, thinking to himself what is this, waiting for the wine to pass three rounds, the dishes to pass the five flavors, really presumptuous, with yin words and songs, or Ji girls to strip and pose in various postures to help the fun, Xiao Xianglan saw it, and her eyes did not fall off.
