22. Wife chasing order

Old Madam Lin slowly moved over, lay down outside, turned over, frowned, and said, "Mei'er, go inside, grandmother is going to fall." ”

Lin Qingmei squeezed hard inside, and Zhao Ling was almost squeezed back, but the old lady still said: "Go inside, grandmother is old, and sleeping takes up space." ”

Before Lin Qingmei moved, Mrs. Lin sat up, and when she saw that the outline under the quilt was wide, she wondered: "Mei'er, why are you so fat when you lie down?" She put her hand into the quilt and touched Zhao Ling's face, Zhao Ling had goosebumps all over his body, cold wrinkled hands, rough fingers, every time he crossed his face, he couldn't help but tremble.

The more the old lady touched it, the more puzzled she became: how did this seem like there was one more person?

Yuhong stepped forward and saw that there was an extra pair of soap boots in front of the bed, so she wanted to ask what was going on, at this time, Zhao Ling was scared and stuffy when he was touched, he tore off the quilt on top of his head, and the carp sat up in general: "Old lady, please go back!" Lone sleeps the night tonight. ”

"Oh my god!" The old lady rashly saw someone coming out of the quilt, and she was convulsed.

Lin Qingmei hurriedly got out of the quilt and patted her chest for her grandmother: "Grandmother is not afraid, Brother Ling is playing peek-a-boo with you." ”

Mrs. Lin: Peek-a-boo? This is hiding from tigers, right? I'm scared to death.

She calmed down and said in a rather unhappy tone: "Why did Your Highness come to my wife?" ”

"Lonely to find a knees." Zhao Ling's face did not change, and he was very calm when he told lies.

The so-called knee clamp is a cylindrical object woven with bamboo strips or vines, hollowed out on all sides, three feet long, often used to hold in the arms in the summer to enjoy the coolness, also known as "Bamboo Lady".

The old lady will calculate: "Yuhong, go find a knee!" ”

Zhao Ling said lazily: "Now that it's autumn, Mrs. Zhu is too cold." As he spoke, he took Xiao Qingmei into his arms, and said in a flirtatious tone: "I have to replace it with Mrs. Mei." ”

Lin Qingmei rubbed her hands and held Zhao Ling's hand in it: "Brother Ling is not cold, Mei'er will warm you up." ”

Old Madam Lin looked at this scene and complained, "Why did His Highness play tricks on Mei'er? How many beauties are there in the world? Those who want to add fragrance to His Royal Highness's red sleeves are eager to do so. Mei'er is simple-minded, and hopes that His Royal Highness will let her go. ”

"Lone likes Mei'er very much, not that she thinks she's cute and teases her on a whim."

Mrs. Lin said righteously: "If Your Highness likes Mei'er, you should be affectionate and polite." What's more, His Royal Highness is now discussing marriage with Yulan, if Yulan knows, wouldn't it hurt her heart? ”

Zhao Ling suddenly remembered his previous life, when he got married, the Lin family gave two sedan chairs, an eight-lift sedan chair and a pink two-person sedan chair. On the pink sedan chair is Lin Qingmei, under the design of the Wang family and Lin Yulan, she finally entered the East Palace as a concubine as they wished. Lin Qingmei is the heart of Mrs. Lin, but Lin Yulan took it without mercy. And now Mrs. Lin talks about Lin Yulan, but she has the heart of her grandmother. What a high-level opinion!

He said tentatively: "What if you want to divorce the four girls and ask to marry Mei'er? ”

"Never!" Old Madam Lin's eyes were sharp, and she said loudly: "Yulan is eighteen, and if she doesn't get married, she will be delayed, and Mei'er can still slow down." is also a girl from my Lin family, and the old body can't lose her sense of proportion just because she favors Mei'er. Your Highness, please rest your thoughts! ”

Well, that makes sense. But he won't listen. "But Lone likes Mei'er very much, why don't you let her enter the East Palace as a concubine?"

Old Madam Lin sighed: "Your Highness doesn't know, that Yulan has never dealt with Mei'er. If she enters the palace, Mei'er will not have the protection of her old body, and she will not be like a dough to be handled? Besides, the concubine is extremely low, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dowry item. People will be cheap and people will be cheap, Mei'er is a concubine, and the people who bully her will only become more and more arrogant. ”

After that, her cloudy eyes stared at Zhao Ling tightly, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, please rest your thoughts!" ”

She climbed down, pulled Lin Qingmei up, and ordered Zhao Ling, who was still stunned on the bed: "It's almost time, Your Highness should go back." ”

Lin Qingmei looked at Zhao Ling with pity and begged her grandmother: "Grandmother, Brother Ling doesn't have Mei'er, it will be very cold to sleep at night!" ”

Old Madam Lin said slowly: "The young man is angry, and it is too late to lower the fire, how can it be cold?" If Mei'er warms him, it will be tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. ”

Zhao Ling said: "The lonely carriage and horses have returned to the palace, from Shangshu Mansion to the East Palace is twenty miles away, walking alone at night, not to mention the time-consuming, I am afraid of accidents." As he spoke, he began to play with the gold token on his waist again, and Mrs. Lin saw it and gritted her teeth: This trick again!

She led Lin Qingmei to her bedroom, and Zhao Ling said lazily behind her: "Lone needs Mrs. Mei to lower the fire." ”

Old Madam Lin took a deep breath and forced herself not to be angry. She let go of Xiao Qingmei, and Xiao Qingmei ran to the couch with a smile and groaned, and quickly got into the quilt.

After Mrs. Lin left, Xiao Qingmei poked her head out of the quilt, played with the gold token on his waist, and asked innocently: "Brother Ling, why is your grandmother so scared every time you see this token hanging from your waist?" ”

Zhao Ling scratched her nose dotingly, and her heart paused: "Because this is Yue Lao's wife-chasing order, it is a sacred object, and your grandmother is naturally afraid!" ”

Lin Qingmei tilted her head and thought for a long time: "No! Mei'er didn't see that Yue Lao had this token. ”

"Because he gave it to Brother Ling!" Zhao Ling is nonsense.

Lin Qingmei's eyebrows curled: "Mei'er has seen Yue Lao before, he sat on the stone steps and flipped through the book, the words on that book were so strange, Mei'er didn't know any of them, he said that it was a marriage book." As he flipped through the book, he took out the red rope from the cloth bag next to him, and said that he would tie one for Mei'er as well. Mei'er asked him what was the use of tying it, and he said that men and women in the world, whether they were enemies, disparities in status, or far away from the world, as long as they tied the same red rope, they could go through all difficulties to get married. ”

Zhao Ling said: "The other end of Mei'er's red rope must be Brother Ling, right?" ”

Lin Qingmei shook her head: "I don't know!" ”

Zhao Ling listened to it and was a little disappointed: although it was Xiao Qingmei's idiotic words, he always hoped that he and her would become a pair to become each other.

He said, "If Mei'er's red rope is not tied to Brother Ling's feet, Brother Ling will cut it off and reconnect it." ”

Xiao Qingmei ate and smiled: "Brother Ling, you are so stupid!" If Mei'er's husband is someone else, Brother Ling will give this token to Mei'er, won't Mei'er become your wife? ”

"Uh......" Zhao Ling stammered: The bull who just bragged was taken into the army in a blink of an eye.

He looked down at his token, untied it and handed it to her without thinking, and made up a spell: "Hurry like a law to chase your wife, there is no taboo in and out of the East Palace." ”

"But Mei'er listened to Taishang Laojun's spell and said 'urgent as the law', Brother Ling, will the spell not work?"

"It dare!" His Zhao Ling's chassis, does it dare to work? "This is the token of the old moon, of course it is different from the old man's! Lao Jun is a bachelor, where did he think of such a good spell? ”

Xiao Qingmei flipped over and looked at the "Wife Chasing Order" carefully, then smiled sweetly and hid under the pillow and fell asleep with Zhao Ling in her arms.

After the lights went out, Zhao Ling asked himself in the dark: Why is it so hard to coax Xiao Qingmei?
