At that moment, Lin Zhaoxiang instructed Lin Jinlou a few more words, and because Lin Dongqi's wedding date was approaching, the Qin family sent someone to clarify the matters on the wedding day, which was nothing more than who was invited, where to send relatives, where to sit, where to have a banquet, etc. At this time, the Jinling garrison came to the door, and Lin Jinlou went to greet him, no problem.

When Lin Jinlou went back in the evening, Xianglan had already turned off the lights early and fell asleep in the east room, only Lotus Heart, Warm Moon, Rushuang, and Tinglan did not sleep, doing needlework while waiting for Lin Jinlou to come back.

Seeing him enter the house, he hurriedly stood up, said hello one after another, and was busy making tea and pouring water. Lin Jinlou swept the faces of several of them and asked, "Where is Xianglan?" ”

Lianxin said: "I've fallen asleep." Lin Jinlou went to the room, saw that the bedroom was empty, so he sank his face, walked straight to the second room, lifted the curtain, calmed his face, pointed to Xianglan and said: "The master is entertaining in front, you don't even wait to serve, dare to sleep first, who is not happy!" ”

Xianglan had to sit up, hanging her face and not speaking.

Lin Jinlou snorted, shook his hand and left.

Xianglan slowly put on a jade-colored paddy field gown, and walked to the main room, Lin Jinlou had already wiped his teeth and was washing his face with soap, Tinglan twisted the hot towel, quietly handed it to Xianglan, and gave her a look, but saw that Nuan Yue had diligently handed the hot hand towel to Lin Jinlou's hand, Tinglan frowned slightly, Xianglan handed the towel to Tinglan, and shook her head.

For a while, Lin Jinlou had finished grooming, and Nuan Yue and others came to help with the wide clothes. Lin Jinlou stared at Xianglan, his voice was neither light nor heavy, but his face was cold, and said, "Where are you showing the pestle!" ”

Tinglan gently pushed Xianglan, Xianglan had to step forward, her little hand to unbutton his clothes, Nuan Yue had to come over to untie her belt, Lin Jinlou waved her hand impatiently and said, "You all go down, let her come." ”

And they took their things and withdrew.

Lin Jinlou lowered his head slightly, looked at Xianglan's hanging little head, and felt annoyed for a while, this woman is really a white-eyed wolf, isn't it good enough to treat her? In the afternoon, I lingered with him, and when I came back in the evening, I slept on his own, and I didn't even smile with a wooden face. It's like a stone in a pit.

Xianglan was also frightened, for fear that Lin Jinlou would catch her and come back like that again, her body was sore, she was still a little uncomfortable walking, and she was ashamed in her heart, and she went to bed early just to avoid him. She also wanted to put on a gentle appearance to Lin Jinlou, so that she could coax him a few words, so that he would be happy and let herself go home, but she couldn't do that posture in front of this living Hades.

She stared at Lin Jinlou's broad and thick chest, her palms sweating, and she hurriedly removed his coat and put it on the smoker rack on the side. Lin Jinlou sat down on the bed, patted the edge of the bed and said, "Come here." ”

Xianglan walked over with her head down.

Lin Jinlou said: "The master told you that you will sleep in this house in the future, should you be the wind in your ears?" ”

Xianglan whispered: "I'm afraid that it won't ......be suitable for me to sleep in this house."

"If you say it's suitable, it's suitable."

"Uncle is going to marry a big * grandmother sooner or later, I'm ...... like this"

"What this and that, now let you sleep here and sleep here."

Xianglan bit her lip and didn't speak.

Lin Jinlou was annoyed again, so he said, "Turn off the lights, I'm going to sleep." ”

Xianglan blew out the candles, put down the bed curtain, went to bed lightly, and lay on her side on the edge of the bed, Lin Jinlou turned over, stretched out her arm to hug her, Xianglan was so frightened that she didn't dare to move. Lin Jinlou didn't move anymore and fell asleep.

Lin Jinlou returned home, socializing constantly, and he had to go to the yamen in the army, and he was busy every day, and he rarely returned home. Lin Jinting has to use it, up and down, purchasing gold and silver utensils, all kinds of yarn, planting flowers and plants, inviting the troupe, etc., even the Qin family said to Lin Changzheng: "Don't look at Brother Ting'er's mediocre study, but he can do things really decently, and he is still a reliable one, if the next subject is not yet successful, let's think of activities and activities, and donate officials to him to make a shortage." Lin Changzheng sighed and said: "I thought so too, but what my father meant was that Brother Ting was lifted, and his face was bright, and the second brother only cared about himself, I discussed with him, and he only said to listen to his father's meaning, and now this matter will wait a little longer." The Qin clan didn't mention it anymore.

Let's say that Lin Jinlou Town is not there, but Xianglan is relieved, every day only the paintings she has painted, pick up the good ones and roll them up and put them in the box, and burn the rest, and put some inconspicuous gold and silver jewelry in the small bag, and the valuable ones are still taken care of by Chunling. The Lin family was lively and lively to marry the second girl, and the Zhichun Pavilion was more or less lively, Shuran and Lianxin opened the building and picked up a lot of bright yarn silk, and the lanterns were colorful, and asked Lin Jinting to invite people to plant flowers and plants, and re-look the yard. The magpie saw it and said indignantly: "They all say, 'If you are not in your position, you will not seek your government', Shuran is a married daughter-in-law, and she also sees the sky to go to the Zhichun Pavilion to control it, and Lianxin has no ability, but she is blindly honest and reasonable, and her aunt and grandmother should be ranked first now, and they are in charge of the top things in the uncle's yard, how can they let the two of them shout five and six." ”

Thrush said: "The two of them are not afraid, they are afraid of the one who lives in the main house, since she came, the uncle has never been to this house." I went to look for her, and I closed the door and didn't see her, like an open-minded person. If you don't come up with a plan, you'll have to sit back and wait. After thinking about it, he took out a purse from the drawer, took out two taels of silver, and said to the magpie: "Wait for the opportunity, give this silver to Shuangxi, and let him show the purse to the uncle, just say that I did it these days, knowing that the uncle is in love with fire, and the purse is a cool pill made by me personally grinding medicinal herbs." ”

The magpie took it away and left it alone.

On the evening of the day before Lin Dongqi got married, Lin Jinlou went home, bathed and changed clothes when he entered the door, and went to the front to socialize. Xianglan naturally didn't sleep well, everyone went to join in the fun, she was lazy and didn't want to move, seeing Chunling and Xiaojuan's excited appearance, she let the two of them go, and took out a pair of half-made shoes from the cage, and sewed them up with a needle and a thread.

Ting Lansu is a steady and proper person, stayed to guard the house, and also put the little girl away, took a needle and thread to find Xianglan, and the two occasionally said a few words, and they silently did needlework and thought about things. The room was quiet, and the sound of orchestral cymbals singing in front could be faintly heard. Outside the Zhichun Pavilion is naturally lively to ten go, guests and friends, staggered, it is the flowers, the embroidered ribbon is fluttering, whether it is a woman or a maid, they are all wearing red and green, dressed up to be peach and apricot, and the swallow is jealous and ashamed.

Let's say that Lin Dongxiu stood beside the Qin family dignifiedly, holding Qin's arm. Lin Dongqi had already gotten on the sedan chair and left, but the Qin family had not turned around, and kept wiping his tears with a handkerchief, his eyes were still red, and a group of noble ladies surrounded him to persuade him.

Lin Dongxiu was full of obedient and filial piety, and also persuaded with tears: "Mother should still accept her tears, today's happy day, the second sister also married to enjoy happiness, and the mother is like this, but the second sister is not at ease when she marries." It doesn't matter if the second sister marries, I still stay with my mother to do my filial piety. ”

As soon as this remark came out, it attracted praise from everyone.

Qin glanced at Lin Dongxiu, only to see that she was wearing a magenta group embroidered flower and bird pattern cloud brocade bijia, a golden and white silk embroidered money Li Ling gown, a sea blue chrysanthemum long skirt, a red gold magnolia hairpin on her head, a jade thread flower and a silk hanging bead golden hairpin, a gold collar around her neck, a gold lock pendant, a pair of long red agate pendants on her ears, her face was carefully evenly powdered, her eyebrows were painted and her temples were painted, she was very glamorous, she was a beautiful girl, and she was dressed up so carefully and added two points of beauty, which became more and more moving.

The Qin family and Lin Dongxiu are not close, firstly, the Qin family has their own children to raise, and secondly, she had two points of mind to carry Lin Dongxiu at first - but she is a concubine, and it can't hinder her from itching, if there is a creation in the future, maybe there will be a foil between their brothers and sisters, not to mention that this child always has to call her "mother". But she gradually felt that this girl was stingy, and after indoctrination a few times, she also found that Lin Dongxiu was just doing kung fu on the face, so she lightened her mind and threw away her hand, but she never treated her poorly.

Lin Dongxiu has a different heart, now that the second sister is married, it will be her turn to get engaged immediately, Lin Changzheng is a few scholars, she is not satisfied with her family background, this time she is determined to show her skills at Lin Dongqi's wedding, so that several noble ladies look at each other differently, so that they can choose a first-class family business. Now that she described it, the Qin family immediately understood her thoughts, and said lightly: "Our embroidery sister is a child who knows how to hurt people. ”

The ladies took Lin Dongxiu's hand and asked her how old she was, what she usually played, what books she read, and what needlework she could do. Lin Dong smiled and replied generously. Because she is a girl of the Lin family, even if she is a concubine, she also has her own character, not to mention where the family background is, and this Lin Dongxiu and the Qin family have an affectionate appearance, and they are not raised by the Qin family. At one time, a few families were concerned and wanted to pay attention to inquire.

The Qin family went back and forth to socialize, and Lin Dongxiu followed him every step of the way, handing water at one time, handing handkerchiefs at one time, and helping Qin's clothes at the same time. The red note frowned and secretly glanced at the Qin family, and the Qin family shook his head and motioned for her to leave it alone. Lin Dongxiu is bent on grabbing the top, she will give her this opportunity, whether she succeeds or not, it depends on her own creation, as long as she does not lose the dignity of the Lin family, she will not interfere.

Lin Dongxiu was busy with the Qin family for a while, and when the banquet was about to start at noon, he went back to his table and sat down satisfied, but saw that Lin Dongya didn't know where to go, and the green diaphragm was going to find it, Lin Dongxiu wanted to find a no-man's place to re-smear the rouge gouache, so he got up and said, "I'll go find the third sister." As he spoke, he left everyone and quietly went to the small flower hall next to him, and there was no one in the room. Lin Dongxiu untied the bag on his waist, took out a mirror from it, straightened his sideburns, and took out an enamel blue color locket, took out a piece of rouge from it, and was just about to purse it on his lips when he heard someone talking outside the curtain, it was the girl Coral and Yingluo beside Wang's side.
