Five days later, Lin Jinlou really sent a carriage to Chen's house to pick up Xianglan into the mansion. Before leaving, Xue tearfully tugged at Xianglan's sleeve and said, "Why don't I go and beg Uncle Lin, how much silver does he want, we can give it to bankruptcy, just ask him to let you come back......"

It was Jixiang who came to pick up Xianglan, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly persuaded: "Aunt Xue, this must not be mentioned again." Could the Lin family still be short of money? The uncle's picture is a person. ”

Xue's tears couldn't stop dripping, and Xianglanqiang persuaded with a smile: "It's not life and death, why cry like this." There are always days to get through the past, and after two days, I will come home to visit my parents. ”

Ji Xiang made a look, and Mrs. Liu, who was sent by the Lin family, immediately stepped forward to support Xue's arm, and said with a smile: "Sister is going to enter the mansion to enjoy happiness, how many people can't look forward to it, Mrs. crying like this makes her feel unstable." "This Mrs. Liu was originally on an errand in the Zhichun Pavilion, and she was decent, but when she saw Lin Jinlou pointing her to the Chen family and serving a few slaves, the boss was not happy. But now seeing Jixiang coming to pick up Xianglan in person, he couldn't help but secretly speak, thinking: "My nephew is very decent and dignified in front of the uncle, everyone calls 'big steward', and the uncle actually sent him to pick up Xianglan, it can be seen that the heart is extremely important to this girl, who knows if she will have a great creation in the future!" The attitude became more and more attentive.

Jixiang also persuaded him a few words on the side, and Xianglan said goodbye with tears, and returned to the Lin family with Jixiang and the others.

When she arrived at the corner gate of the Lin Mansion, Shu Ran had already stood at the corner gate with the two mothers-in-law and waited, and when she saw Xianglan, she couldn't help but smile and say hello, and came forward to take the burden in her hand, and affectionately helped her to get on the small sedan chair, and carried her all the way to the Zhichun Pavilion.

Xianglan got out of the sedan chair, and Shuran led her straight to the main house. The courtyard was quiet, and even the girl who was watering the flowers and sweeping couldn't see it, Xianglan hung her head and walked straight to the house, but she didn't know that in the wings on both sides, the thrush, the parrot and others were staring at her through the carved flower windows, looking at her fixedly.

After entering the house, Shuran handed over the burden to the maid guarding the door, led Xianglan to sit down, and said with a smile: "Uncle ordered, saying that the girl will live in the east room from now on, and the things that should be used have been prepared early in the morning, I don't know what the girl likes to eat, drink, and use on weekdays, but what are the taboo things?" Now there is a lack of big * milk in the house, and everything is not well arranged. Although I am married now, I have also come in to lead the errand of the Zhichun Pavilion, and now that you are here, I can be leisurely. ”

Xianglan was depressed, listened to Shuran's words, barely cheered up, looked up, and saw that Shuran was combing the woman's hairstyle, and Shuran said: "Uncle asked me to call two girls and mothers-in-law for you, they are all old people who know you, if you don't like it, you can just change it." "Said that the man brought two girls in, and they were Xiaojuan and Chunling.

Xiaojuan was very happy, and her eyes turned red when she saw Xianglan. Chunling's expression was calm, and the two saluted Xianglan. Xianglan hurriedly stood up, stepped forward to hold the hands of the two of them, only to feel that her hair was tight, and she couldn't say a word.

Shuran smiled: "I'll go and see if your things have been placed, the next time they have been cleaned out, the girl will go over and rest, just say what is in short supply." With that, he retreated.

At that moment, Xiaojuan immediately grabbed Xianglan's sleeve and said with a smile: "My God, my earth, I was still talking about you yesterday, but I didn't expect you to come back!" Now that's it! ”

Chunling looked at Xianglan with a sad face, so she pulled Xiaojuan and said to Xianglan: "You...... How did you come back? ”

Xianglan sighed and said, "It's hard to say. He bowed to Chunling again, and said, "I haven't thanked you for saving your life." ”

Chunling turned sideways, stretched out her arm to support Xianglan, and said with a smile: "I can't stand your gift now." ”

Xianglan laughed sneeringly, shook her head, turned her head to look at the green leaves outside the window, and said in a low voice: "What can I stand it, I used to be a slave, but now it's just a thing." ”

Chunling heard this, hurriedly pulled Xianglan, looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Hurry up and rest like this, let those who have a heart hear what it will be!" Now that the dominatrix is gone, it can be seen that the Spring Pavilion is not a peaceful place. After that, he led Xianglan to the east room, and said again: "Uncle went to the army, and he had some entertainment to the outside world, so he came back at night." ”

Xianglan was originally worried about her heart, but when she heard that Lin Jinlou was not there, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The east room is next to the bedroom, only a multi-treasure pavilion as a partition, a bed is set up near the window, covered with a scarlet money python mattress, a green satin elastic ink colorful ripple mandarin duck embroidered backrest, and autumn fragrance color makeup pillow, hanging lotus lotus-colored gauze soft curtain. On one side, there is a small lacquer table in the style of begonia, and a vase with purple gold and enamel is placed, and a handful of evening primrose is inserted in it. There is an ebony cabinet next to the table, and on the other side there are two chairs and a small square table, with tea bowls and other things.

Xianglan only sat on the bed in a daze.

Chunling saw that there was no one around, so she sat down next to Xianglan, thought for a while, and said: "I don't know how you came to the mansion again, but the uncle asked me to serve you, it can be seen that I have the intention to promote you, since you are here, don't think about it, otherwise it will be a blockage for yourself." The Zhichun Pavilion is much cleaner than before, and the thrush raised her aunt and lived in the East Chamber. Brother Parrot shrunk in the room every day and didn't come out, only calling it sick. There is also a Luan'er, which was given to the uncle by the old lady, and when the uncle entered Beijing, she had to follow to serve, she was the cousin of Shudye, because of this face, the uncle lifted her up and became a roommate. ”

Xiaojuan interjected: "She is a powerful person, she can play a few pipas, and the uncle always likes to let her serve in front of her when he eats at home, and from time to time she plays a song and a half-song, which is more faceless than a thrush." She was originally called Keren, but later took advantage of the uncle's happiness to change her name to Luan'er, saying that she was called this before she entered the house. Obediently, Luan Feng, isn't it much more noble than a little bird like a thrush, the uncle actually agreed. Both the thrush and the parrot are not good-looking. ”

Chunling said: "But a few days ago, she somehow dropped the jade pendant on the uncle's waist to the ground and broke it, which made the uncle unhappy and scolded her twice, who knew that she dared to talk back." The uncle didn't pay attention to her, but since then he has been a little lighter to her, and he hasn't let her come to serve recently. On the contrary, Thrush made two clothes for the uncle, put on a virtuous appearance, and let the uncle stay overnight in the East Wing. ”

Xianglan only felt that these tricks of competing for favor were boring, but knowing that Chunling and Xiaojuan were well-intentioned, she woke up and said: "Whatever they do, they can't provoke me, so the well water will not interfere with the river water." I came in to serve because my uncle saved my father, and I should repay his kindness, and as for the others, I don't want to think about it. ”

Chunling and Xiaojuan glanced at each other. Xiaojuan wanted to say more, but Chunling pulled her sleeve, and only tore the conversation away: "In addition to the two of us, there are two girls, who specialize in needlework, and nine little maids who sweep the house and serve in the service, and four old grandmothers." Then he said to Xiaojuan: "It's almost noon, and I don't know what to cook in the kitchen." ”

Xiaojuan jumped up, grinned and said, "I'll take a little girl to get food." With that, he ran away.

At that moment, Chunling Zhang Luo packed the luggage brought by Xianglan, and attracted the girl to Xianglan to see, seeing that she was careless in everything, so she took care of herself and made the decision for her. Xianglan is mourning her fate in her heart, even though the Lin family's mansion is shining, she also looks like a rich cage, not to mention Lin Jinlou's majesty, wives and concubines, and intrigue. She sat for a while before taking a deep breath and said secretly: "No matter how depressed you are, it won't help, things have come to this point, so you have to endure it and find another opportunity to slowly leave this place." ”

Xianglan perked up her spirits, looked up, and saw that Chunling had already received all the clothes in her baggage into the cage, locked two or three pieces of jewelry into the small drawer of the ebony cabinet, and commanded the little girls to fetch water and water the flowers.

It turned out that as soon as Qinglan died, Chunling was idle in the Zhichun Pavilion, she wanted to go back to Qin's room as an errand, but she didn't find a way, so she had to receive some odd jobs in the main room, and her previous dignity was gone. Yesterday, Shuran suddenly called her and Xiaojuan to come to him, saying that the two of them would start serving Xianglan tomorrow, Chunling was surprised, although she felt a little awkward, but she also felt that it was an opportunity. In all fairness, Xianglan has an easy-going temperament, has no quarrel with the world, and is easy to get along with, although she originally had some contradictions with her, but she also saved her at a critical moment, because of this kindness, she can be regarded as her own person. Chunling made up her mind at the moment, just treat Xianglan as Qinglan's aunt and wait, and in the future, she will be decent enough to live up to her talents, so she is very attentive.

Not long after, Xiaojuan came back with the food, Chunling put the food on the kang table, and saw that Xianglan only used some light food, so he silently remembered it in his heart. Xiaojuan is a simple-minded person, she only feels that Xianglan is good with her, and she will not be wronged in the future, and she is happy, and she has eaten an extra bowl of rice. After the meal was over, Xiao Juan chattered, first talking about how hateful Zhao Yuechan was, how Lin Jinlou's aunts were, and saying that Lin Dongqi would get married in two days.

Xianglan listened to it without a word.

Chunling lightly took a set of homely clothes and came in, and said with a smile: "Uncle only came back at night, so it's uncomfortable to wear this strange outfit, just change your clothes." ”

Xianglan turned her head and saw Chunling holding a soft gauze silk dress with a chrysanthemum red gold bamboo leaf pattern in her hand, Xianglan looked at it and said, "This is not my clothes." ”

Chunling said with a smile: "It was prepared in the cage a long time ago, and the uncle ordered someone to bring two boxes of clothes for the four seasons, all of which are new." ”

Seeing that the clothes were very light, if she wanted to wear them on her body, she would definitely reveal the color of her belly pocket, so she couldn't help sneering and said, "How can you wear such clothes?" Could it be that he is amusing me like a fan? "I took my own clothes and changed them.

Chunling looked embarrassed, and said secretly: "This material is good, several young ladies in the house want to make a horse to wear intimate clothes, which is beautiful and light, although it is exposed to making homely clothes, but what is the problem of staying in the house and not going out to meet guests." "It's not good to say much, just help Xianglan change her clothes. RS
