Hearing that there was a will from Beijing to summon him back to Beijing, Zhou Xuan was surprised, and he didn't know what happened to him? hurriedly said to Qin Que and the others, let them go back to the mansion by themselves, and then hurried to the Duhu Mansion with the three idiots and the two Wu Ben.

As soon as Li Jian saw him, he said loudly: "Cousin Xuan, my father has a will." ”

Zhou Xuan hurriedly knelt down to receive the order, but it was the emperor Li Yu who ordered him to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and the Southern Han Dynasty sent an envoy to report, the prince Liu Shousu came to Jinling from the capital Xingwang Mansion in early June to marry Princess Qingle, and it is expected to arrive in mid-July.

Li Jian said: "Cousin Xuan, we are going back on the same boat, let's go out on the tenth day of June." ”

Zhou Xuan originally thought that Liu Shousu would not come until August or September, but he didn't expect that he was already on the road, and the first beauty in the Tang Kingdom really wanted to be married by the snow pig prince? Thinking of the glamorous scene when he painted nude portraits of Princess Qingle several times, although this princess's temper is not very good, but the beautiful face, the thin waist and long legs, the round buttocks, the stunner in the world, is it a pity to marry far away to the absurd country of the Southern Han Dynasty?

Zhou Xuan said: "That's good, the first ten years are out, I have to take care of my family affairs these days." ”

Lin Dai stayed at Zhou Xuan's dinner to discuss the marriage of Zhou Xuan and Lin Hanyun, Zhou Xuan knew that he was going to Jinling this time, and then he was going to Xingwangfu, the capital of the Southern Han Dynasty, and he couldn't come to Jiangzhou for half a year, so he said cheekily: "Father-in-law, Hanyun and I are very affectionate, and I want to go to Jinling with me, my son-in-law is bold, why don't you let Hanyun marry me in the next few days?" ”

Lin Dai opened his mouth wide, and said for a while: "Virtuous son-in-law." This doesn't seem to be appropriate, my Lin Dai's two daughters, the eldest daughter has become a monk, only Hanyun has this daughter, how can she marry in such a hurry, isn't this a joke for the people of Jiangzhou? ”

Zhou Xuan also knew that as Lin Dai, a member of the family, he valued these very much, so he hurriedly said: "The son-in-law lost his words, and the father-in-law is not strange." The son-in-law is worried that Hanyun will cry. ”

Lin Dai said: "Marriage events, how can it be child's play, how can it be based on the implication of the temperament!" The virtuous son-in-law went back to choose a good date, it is best to get married in the spring next year, this year is too young, she is only sixteen years old. The virtuous son-in-law is going to the Southern Han Dynasty, next spring is the most suitable, what does the virtuous son-in-law think? ”

What else can Zhou Xuan say, only he can say yes.

I heard Lin Hanyun crying in the back hall, and shouted: "I'm not married, I'm not married to Zhou Xuan." I'm going to go to Jinling with Zhou Xuan. Lin Hanyun thought that if she didn't marry Zhou Xuan, she would be able to go to Jinling with Zhou Xuan!

Zhou Xuan saw that Lin Dai was about to be angry, and hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, don't scold her, how about waiting for the son-in-law to persuade her?" ”

Lin Dai saw that Zhou Xuan loved Lin Hanyun very much, and he was also pleased, and said, "That's good." The virtuous son-in-law went to persuade her. Anyway, I must not go to Jinling with you this time, otherwise, I can't help but the people of Jiangzhou want to laugh at my Lin family, and even the officials in Beijing will laugh at me Lin Dai is confused, and he will not discipline his daughter, Xiaoyi, and take my aunt to find Miss. Zhou Xuan followed the maid Xiaoyi into the back hall. I didn't see Lin Hanyun's figure. It was only when I walked to the back garden of the main hall that I saw Lin Hanyun taking a wicker and hatefully pumping the flowers and trees in the garden, and saw Zhou Xuan. threw away the wicker in his hand, rushed over and pouted and asked, "Brother Zhou Xuan, will you take me to Jinling?" ”

Zhou Xuan asked a few maids to go away, he took Lin Hanyun's hand and walked to the swing frame, let Lin Hanyun sit on it, and gently pushed her to play.

Lin Hanyun said hurriedly: "Brother Zhou Xuan, if you wait until next spring to marry me, then I may already be dead." ”

Zhou Xuan snorted and scolded her for being a "crow's mouth", and was thinking about how to convince Lin Hanyun, when Lin Hanyun suddenly slapped her on the wrist: "Damn mosquitoes also bully me!" ”

Zhou Xuan took her hand and looked at it, and the light shone not far away, only to see a round red pimple swollen on the white wrist, so he wiped it twice on the red pimple with his fingertips to reduce swelling and relieve itching.

Lin Hanyun chirped: "It's dirty, there is mint dew in my room." ”

Zhou Xuan glared at her: "You think I'm dirty, and you don't know how much saliva you ate from me!" ”

Lin Hanyun's face turned red, and he said angrily: "Then you also ate mine-"

Zhou Xuan smiled: "Yes, we are in love with each other, right?" ”

Lin Hanyun stretched out his hand and slapped Zhou Xuan on the shoulder: "Don't change the topic, say it quickly, will you take me to Jinling?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Mosquitoes bite people here, it's not a good place for dating, go to your embroidery room, I haven't seen your embroidery room, isn't it a mess." ”

Lin Hanyun took Zhou Xuan's hand through the corridor and went to her boudoir, followed by several maidservants.

I remember that Zhou Xuan entered the Duhu Mansion for the first time last year, Lin Hanyun was dressed as a family, and he was holding his hand like this, and everyone looked sideways at the maid and the maid, and in less than a year, Zhou Xuan became the uncle of the Duhu Mansion, and he wanted to enter Miss Lin Er's boudoir in a grand manner.

Lin Hanyun's boudoir is also an independent courtyard, clean and elegant, Lin Hanyun said that her sister helped her arrange the land, and then the maidservant maid cleaned up every day, so she didn't care about these.

Several maids serving Lin Hanyun saluted Zhou Xuan and said, "Uncle." ”

Zhou Xuan accepted it with a smile, and he was a man.

Lin Hanyun said shamefully: "Don't call him uncle, I won't marry him, it's better to call him Gongzi Zhou." ”

Zhou Xuan stretched out his hand and slapped her little round buttocks, and said with a smile: "If you don't fight for three days, go to the room to uncover the tiles, go in, and teach your husband a good lesson today." Lin Hanyun half-dragged and half-hugged her to her bedroom.

Lin Hanyun laughed and made trouble, squeezed her little fist and hit Zhou Xuan, while begging for help from the maids: "Help-help-"

The four maids and the four servants stood there motionless, looking elsewhere, and the corners of their eyes were aimed at the new aunt dragging the second lady into the embroidery room, the second lady kept shouting for help, as soon as she entered the embroidery room, there was suddenly no sound, and the maid women used their brains one after another, guessing what the new aunt used to block the second lady's mouth? As soon as Zhou Xuan entered the door, he blocked Lin Hanyun's mouth with his tongue, Lin Hanyun was also strange, Zhou Xuan used saliva to wipe the mosquito bites and red blisters for her, she was dirty. This will not be disgusted at all, at first he clenched his fist and hit Zhou Xuan, and after a while, he hugged Zhou Xuan's waist.

After kissing each other for a while, Zhou Xuan let go of her, sat down on the embroidery couch and grabbed a fan, and said while fanning: "It's hot, it's stuffy and hot, is it going to be a thunderstorm?" ”

As soon as the words fell. "Boom" thundered, a gust of wind blew the doors and windows "bang", and the maid in the courtyard shouted: "It's going to rain heavily!" It's going to rain heavily! There was a rush of footsteps, presumably packing up.

Lin Hanyun hurriedly sat down next to Zhou Xuan, hugged Zhou Xuan's arm and said, "Wow, you are a god." If you say it's going to thunder and rain, it's thunder and rain! ”

"Watch the rain." Zhou Xuan hugged Lin Hanyun's waist, and the two of them came to the window, watching the lightning in the night sky, watching the treetops exposed on the ridge of the roof swaying in the wind, the thunder rumbled, and the raindrops of soybeans were densely sprinkled down.

Zhou Xuan smiled: "Hanyun, I can't go back after such a big rain." How about I sleep here tonight? ”

Lin Hanyun wrinkled her nose and said, "If you can take me to Jinling this time, I will leave you to sleep here tonight." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Hehe, if you want your father, you won't do it, in less than half an hour." Lord Togo is going to send a carriage to take me back. ”

Lin Hanyun pouted and said, "It's not like we haven't slept together before. You slept with my sister all night. ”

Lin Hanyun was too naïve, Zhou Xuan hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, that time I took you to treatment." ”

Lin Hanyun grinned: "I won't talk nonsense, Brother Zhou Xuan, have you ever thought about marrying the two of us sisters together?" ”

"Ugh!" Zhou Xuan was speechless, and his secret thoughts were caught. There was nothing more to say for a while.

Lin Hanyun laughed vigorously. Tilting his head to look at Zhou Xuan's expression.

Zhou Xuanzheng said: "Don't talk nonsense, I love Sister Daoyun." It's pure. ”

"What about me?" Lin Hanyun asked.

Zhou Xuan pinched her face and said, "I love you, it's very impure." ”

Lin Hanyun snorted and said, "I can't take care of my sister now, I'm so miserable if I can't go to Jinling, is there a way for Brother Zhou Xuan?" ”

Zhou Xuan shook his head: "No way, you also heard it just now, your father gave a death order, no matter what, this time he will never let me take you to Jinlingdi." ”

Lin Hanyun said with a crying voice: "I must go, Brother Zhou Xuan, you quickly find a way, I will be sad to death when I see Brother Zhou Xuan leave." ”

Zhou Xuan said softly: "I am reluctant to leave you, but I really can't take you this time, and as soon as I arrive in Beijing, I will immediately go to the Southern Han Dynasty as Princess Qingle's wedding envoy, and I don't have time to accompany you——"

Lin Hanyun said: "I can go to the Southern Han with you." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "I am an envoy to the Southern Han Dynasty by order, how can I bring my wife's room!" ”

Lin Hanyun said: "I'm not your wife, I'm your sister." ”

Lin Hanyun was entangled, there was no reason to talk about it, Zhou Xuan said: "Whether it is a wife or a sister, you can't take it, this is a major event in the imperial court, you are the lady of the Duhu Mansion, you will not know this rule, I promise you, as soon as you come back from the Southern Han Dynasty, I will come to pick you up and go to Jinling, and you will never be separated in the future, okay?" ”

Lin Hanyun hugged Zhou Xuan's waist, buried her face in Zhou Xuan's chest, sobbing and choking, she just listened to her father's stern tone, and knew that this time there was no hope of going to Jinling with Zhou Xuan, the more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and she couldn't stop crying.

Zhou Xuan comforted her for a long time before she stopped crying, raised her head and said: "Brother Zhou Xuan, if you want to think of me, you must write to me often, although I don't like to write, but I must reply to Brother Zhou Xuan, or let my sister reply to me on my behalf." ”

Zhou Xuan agreed one by one, and at this time, the servant woman outside called: "Second Miss, the carriage that sent Aunt Zhou back to the house is here." ”

Zhou Xuan held Lin Hanyun's face with both hands, kissed her on the lips, and said, "I'm going back, I'm going to say goodbye to Sister Daoyun in two days, you go with me." ”

Lin Hanyun held an umbrella and sent Zhou Xuan out of the door of the weeping flower instrument, watched Zhou Xuan get into the carriage, and suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute." Ran to the side of the carriage and said to Zhou Xuan in the window: "Brother Zhou Xuan, come and pick me up tomorrow to play at your house, it's not going to be a few days, I want to stay with Zhou Xuan for a while." ”

Zhou Xuan's tenderness swelled up and said, "Okay, I'll pick you up early tomorrow morning." ”

Zhou Xuan returned to the Vermilion Bird Fang Mansion and told Qin Que and the others that they would return to Beijing on the tenth day of the first lunar month. The emperor wanted to send him to the Southern Han Dynasty.

I thought it would be out at the end of the month, but now it has suddenly advanced to the tenth day of the new year, and today is already the fifth day of the new year, and there are only four days of preparation time, and the Qin Mansion suddenly became nervous.

Qin Que and Su Needle hurriedly went to tell Dr. Qin and his wife about it, the old couple had to pack up their things for Xiaodi overnight, and the house was in a hurry.

By night, the rain had stopped, and the eaves were still ticking. Zhou Xuan suddenly heard the sound of playing the Konghou from the fifth in, and was shocked, Xiahou Tassel likes to play the Konghou the most, could it be that the tassel is back?

Zhou Xuan walked towards the fifth entrance alone, and in the quiet night, the sound of Konghou seemed empty and far away. Tremble in the cool night breeze after the rain.

Yang Xiaofeng's special room for placing musical instruments revealed the light, Zhou Xuan walked to the door to see, a plain girl was playing a dragon and phoenix-shaped gonghou, this woman was holding a simple reverse bun, her head was beadless, and she was extremely simple. There is no fat powder on the face, just like a hibiscus with clear water.

This is not Xiahou Tassel, this girl doesn't seem to have seen it before, she is very faced, who is she? Why do you play the gonghou here in the middle of the night?

Zhou Xuan stood by the door. Listen to this plain-clothed girl playing the gonghou. Thinking of Xiahou tassel in his heart, he sighed slightly.

The plain girl's ears were very sharp, and when she heard this sigh, she put her hands together, stroked the strings, and looked up. Surprised: "My master is back." Please bow down to the disciples. He got up hurriedly and stepped forward. Bow down at Zhou Xuan's feet.

This girl's voice is particularly crisp and beautiful, quite familiar, Zhou Xuan said: "Hurry up, please get up, who are you?" ”

The girl got up and raised her clean and bright face: "Why doesn't my master even recognize the disciple, the disciple is Rui Chu." ”

"Ah, Rui Chu!" Zhou Xuan was surprised: "Are you Rui Chu?" ”

The plain-clothed girl opened her black and white eyes: "The disciple is Rui Chu, I just came back from Xingzi Town today, I heard that my master returned from Jinling, and I hurried to meet him. ”

Zhou Xuan looked Rui Chu up and down in surprise, this Miaoyinlou courtesan who was originally dressed up as black cicada eyebrows, abacus lips, appliqué yellow, and red cheeks with so-called Yuan and Sheng makeup, now she is so pure and elegant without fat powder, well, by the way, Aunt Rui Chu died, and she couldn't make up during the mourning period.

Zhou Xuan smiled: "It turned out to be Rui Chu, if you don't dress up, you won't be recognized as a teacher." ”

This studious and tireless courtesan rejoiced: "The disciple can often hear the news of my teacher in Jinling in Jiangzhou, my teacher is talented, and he is really famous in the capital, and the disciple is also very glorious, can my teacher let the disciples record and recite the poems of the past six months?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "There are a lot of poems, it's late today, and I'll read them to you tomorrow." ”

Rui Chu said: "My master first recited a poem or a word for the disciples to feast their ears, hear a good sentence, and have a good mood." ”

Zhou Xuan smiled "hey", and immediately read a "Qingyu Case", and said: "This is filled in when I was watching the Lantern Festival in Beijing at the beginning of the year." ”

Rui Chu had already recited this "Qingyu Case" over and over again, and revered Zhou Xuanwushi with a face.

Qin Que searched for Zhou Xuan everywhere, and when he came to the fifth entrance, he saw the master and apprentice reciting poems, and said with a smile: "Husband, it's already the third watch, it's time to rest—Miss Rui Chu is here to rest the night." ”

On the sixth day of the first month of June, the eggs were going to be cooked, and the sun was already extremely hot before it came out, Zhou Xuan went to pick up Lin Hanyun early in the morning, Lin Dai saw that Zhou Xuan came to pick it up in person, and it was not easy to stop him, as long as Zhou Xuan was not taboo, he had nothing to say.

Lin Hanyun was very embarrassed when she saw Qin Que and the sewing needle, usually she kept talking about it, but at this time, she was speechless, and finally called Qin Que and the sewing needle "sister-in-law." ”

In the next three days, Zhou Xuan was busy arranging the move, and the Duhu Mansion allocated two 20-zhang boats, one for the East Palace and its attendants, and the other for Zhou Xuan's family.

In the past few days, Zhou Xuan has been very busy, and Lin Hanyun has followed inseparably, helping Zhou Xuan arrange this arrangement with great interest, as if she was going to Jinling with Zhou Xuan.

Tang Xiaosan and Hu Tong have already lived in the Zhou Mansion and can come out at any time, Xia Cuihua can't stay away because of her father's frailty, and Liao Yin still runs the "Level Autumn Battle Hall", but because Tang Xiaosan and Hu Tong have gone to Jinling, the "Level Autumn Battle Hall" is afraid that it will not be able to open, so they have to open all the restaurants and teahouses.

The "Yunshang Women's Clothing" ready-to-wear shop in Jinfeng Fangdi is operated by Orchid Sala, and Mrs. Qin goes to inspect and inspect from time to time.

By the ninth day of June, most of the artifacts to be moved to Jinling had been transported to the ship, and everything was ready to stop, just waiting for tomorrow to set sail.
