Hu Sanniang was overjoyed at the moment, stepped forward and bowed, "Senior brother, why are you here?" Lin Chong was slightly stunned, looked at Sanniang carefully, and said hesitantly: "Who is Brother Tai?" Sanniang was in a hurry, took off the hat on her head, scattered her hair in a bun, and her hair floated down, and said with a smile: "Little sister Hu Lan." ”

Lin Chong Aya snorted, hurriedly put on the hat for Sanniang, and said: "Put it on first, see that you are dressed so strangely, don't teach people jokes." Sanniang pouted and said: "Senior brother too, I haven't seen him for three or four years, and I will train people as soon as I meet." Lin Chong frowned and said: "In the past, when you were messing around, you were just a little girl, but now you are in a hurry, so naturally you can't be rude." Then he asked, "Are you here to find a master?" ”

Sanniang put on the hat, smiled, and said secretly in her heart: "This time I came specifically for you, senior brother." But he said, "Exactly." Lin Chong said: "The master went to Suzhou to do errands, and when he left, he explained, if you come to find him and teach me to take care of you, you will go home with me first." ”

Sanniang answered, at this time, the store wrapped a food box in thick cotton wool and handed it to the front of the stage, Sanniang rushed to pay the silver, Lin Chong said: "Senior sister, why do you want to pay money?" Sanniang blinked and said: "The mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of people are soft, and it takes a lot of money, and it is good for the senior brother to say less about me." Lin Chong cried and laughed: "It's the master who spoiled you." ”

The two of them went out of the ice and snow shop, but Lin Chong took Sanniang to the small horizontal bridge in the east of the city, and Sanniang said strangely: "Senior brother, don't you live in Jinliang Bridge in the west of the city?" Lin Chong said: "I bought a new house more than a year ago and moved over. Sanniang said with a smile: "How expensive is the Tokyo house, Lin Daguan can buy a new house, and the little sister is really right to come to take refuge." Lin Chong cried and laughed again: "It's still sharp-toothed and sharp-tongued." ”

The two turned to the side of the small horizontal bridge in the east of the city, turned into a street, and came to a house in front of the courtyard, Lin Chong led Sanniang in, the pattern here is still the front hall and the back bedroom, the front and back are divided into four layers, the outermost is the door, the second floor is the front hall, the third floor is the back hall, the fourth floor is a small courtyard behind the house, there is a corridor between the hall and the bedroom, and there are several ear rooms on both sides.

Sanniang looked at it once, and the inner hall lifted the curtain and turned out a lady, when Sanniang looked closely, it was really beautiful, apricot eyes and cherry mouth, a beautiful girl, and a handmaiden with clear eyebrows next to her. The lady saw two people, one was her husband, and the other was a strange man, ouch, blushed, hurriedly bowed her head, stood aside and saluted: "I don't know that the official will lead the guests to the inner hall, and the slave family is rude." ”

Lin Chong smiled and said: "There is no need to panic when the lady is concerned, she is my junior sister, a daughter's family, surnamed Hu, just call her Sanniang." Sanniang, this is the senior brother Hun's family, the daughter of Zhang Jiaotou in the capital, who has been married for three years. ”

When Lin Niangzi raised her head to take a closer look, Sanniang stepped forward with a smile and bowed: "The sister-in-law is polite, and it is convenient for the little sister to walk the rivers and lakes, so she changed into men's clothes." Unexpectedly, after a few years of farewell to my senior brother, my senior brother has become a family, and I have found such a virtuous and beautiful sister-in-law. ”

Lin Niangzi saw Sanniang's red lips and white teeth at this time, her appearance was delicate, and she was also a beauty, and she heard her sweet mouth, so she happily took Sanniang's hand and said: "Since it is a good place, go to the house to freshen up and change clothes first, the officials will rest less, and Jin'er will show the officials tea first." ”

Lin Chong said with a smile: "It is to teach the lady to let her change her clothes, and when she is not dressed properly, she will not be decent." With that, he smiled and turned back to the front hall. Sanniang grimaced at Lin Chong's back, but was pulled into the house by Lin Niangzi to change clothes.

When she arrived at Lin Niangzi's house, Sanniang sat there sullenly, and Lin Niangzi said: "Sanniang, can there be a dress in the baggage?" If there is no time, the sister-in-law still has a few sets of newly made dresses that have not been worn, and they are given to Sanniang to wear. ”

Hu Sanniang hurriedly shook her hand and said, "No need for sister-in-law, I have a dress." When she left Zhou Dong's house, her wife stuffed a few sets of dresses into her baggage, and she was pressed at the bottom of the burden all the way, so she had to turn it out.

At that moment, Lin Niangzi instructed the maid Jin'er to prepare fragrant soup for Sanniang to bathe, and put a sweat towel, mirror, wooden comb, grate, brush, toothbrush, and green salt tooth rubbing (that is, toothpaste in the Song Dynasty) to comb the utensils, and said: "Sanniang can wash with peace of mind, and the sister-in-law will clean up with you." ”

Sanniang was also covered in dust when she hurried for days, so she took a comfortable bath, and after washing, she wore a dress indiscriminately, but she still wore a man's hair in a bun and took a headscarf to wrap it. Lin Niangzi and Jin'er came into the house to see, and after laughing once, Lin Niangzi said: "Sanniang hasn't dressed up as a woman for a long time, and she is unfamiliar, so I will wait for my sister-in-law to dress up with you." Sanniang said with a bitter face: "Sister-in-law, can you change into men's clothes?" Lin Niangzi said: "The official has instructed, teach to dress up properly, and when you wear men's clothes, you must not look good, but I am afraid that the officials will be chattering again." ”

Helpless, Sanniang had to let Lin Niangzi and Jin'er clean up with a bitter face, and after a while, the makeup was already formed, and I saw: the hair comb is a hundred flowers and pine clouds, the hairpin is golden and green hosta, the waist is red and the skirt is red, the plain white moon shirt is covered with snow, the light yellow soft socks are lined with bow shoes, the moth eyebrows are frowning and resentful, the delicate face is low and sad, and the jade bones and fragrant skin are dissipating the jade snow.

After Lin Niangzi and Jin'er saw it, they praised it and said together: "What a lovely person." Sanniang's hands and feet became cramped, and Lin Niangzi looked at the feet again and said, "Sanniang has never bound her feet?" Sanniang hurriedly said: "Walking the rivers and lakes in the morning and evening, don't be entangled." Lin Niangzi smiled and said: "It's not necessary, Sanniang is old, so there is no need to entangle, and Sanniang's little feet are naturally petite, and they are not abrupt." ”

After Lin Niangzi dressed up Sanniang, she led Sanniang to the front hall to see Lin Chong, Lin Chong looked at it and said: "This party has the appearance of a daughter's family, now in my house, not like the master, there are characters in Beijing in and out of the morning and evening, but when they meet, they lose face, and they must not look good." ”

Sanniang stuck out her tongue and said, "Senior brother has many rules." When Lin Chong was waiting for a lesson again, Lin Niangzi said: "Don't blame Sanniang, the officials are in Beijing and are all officials and eunuchs. ”

Sanniang said: "Senior brother, I still want to learn martial arts with you, how can this costume be opened?" Lin Chong glared at his forehead and said: "You have already reached the end of the day, when you are in the boudoir, when you have nothing to do, don't compete with men, you bump into your body during entanglement, how to make it?" ”

Sanniang said in a sullen voice: "Senior brother is more tightly controlled than the master, and he is not as considerate as before!" Lin Chong took out a piece of jade paper and said: "The master left a book here when he left, and taught me to discipline this senior brother well, that is, the master's order is here, and he will be relieved!" The master is aware of your affairs in the Northwest Army, and you have made a great limelight, Jizhou is a zhang of Qinghu Lan, defeating the first warrior of Xianu, hum, so majestic. The master was annoyed that you didn't listen to him, so he ordered a few of our fellow disciples and brothers, but when he taught you to vote, he was generally disciplined for some time. ”

Sanniang glared at the letter, and sighed: "The master is so unreasonable, how can he calculate himself like this, he didn't come to look for him if he knew this." Lin Chong reprimanded: "What nonsense? They are all young masters and senior brothers who spoil you too much, and they are all the same, and this time I will teach you to follow the rules. Otherwise, it's still the same as before, who dares to come to the door to propose? If you are not a good match in the future, you will come to complain about the master and me again. ”

Sanniang smiled and said: "When you can't get married, you will never complain about your master and brother." Lin Chong still said with a ruthless face: "Needless to say, from today onwards, I will ask your sister-in-law for advice at home." ”

Sanniang was in a hurry, and couldn't help but take out the owl kiss treasure knife and said: "Senior brother, this is a treasure knife, I snatched it from Xia Nu, and I gave it to my senior brother." ”

Lin Chong only glanced at the knife, and knew that it was a good knife, but he knew that she was very good, if she took this knife, she was afraid that she would not be able to discipline herself, so she couldn't help but say at the moment: "I don't want your knife, as long as you are courteous!" Then he said to Lin Niangzi: "The lady will stop working hard, and sooner or later she will discipline Sanniang for me, and she will definitely teach her to learn well, this is the teacher's order, and there is no need to be soft-hearted." When Sanniang's eyes rolled again, Lin Chong added: "Sanniang has always been cunning, if there is no word from me, the lady doesn't have to believe her words." ”

Hu Sanniang screamed, Lin Chong didn't even want a treasure knife, this time it seemed to be true, but it seemed to have entered the eighteenth layer of hell, and since then he has been trapped at home by Lin Chong, and he has lived a life that is worse than death.

But it was said that Sanniang was trapped in Lin Chong's house, Lin Niangzi and Jin'er took turns to teach in the morning and evening, from speech and demeanor to tea art girlhood, from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to combing buns, all of them taught each other, but fortunately, Sanniang was good at cooking, so she was exempted from the knife of cooking.

Lin Chong handed over the discipline to Mrs. Lin, if the teaching was not good, Lin Chong would blame Mrs. Lin, and Sanniang didn't want his husband and wife to be disgusted because of this, so she had to grit her teeth and endure it. Fortunately, Meng Cuiying has also taught some of the calligraphy and painting female red, tea art, piano and chess, and it is not difficult to learn.

It is difficult but difficult to comb the bun and dress up, after the thrush is powdered a few times, Sanniang often thinks to herself: "The sky will descend on the people, and they must first teach their thrushes to make them powdered, add their dresses, and do what they do, so they are tempted to endure and benefit from what they can't." ”

Lin Niangzi is knowledgeable, listened to her random changes, and said with a smile: "Which woman doesn't want to make herself more beautiful, Sanniang is good, so unwilling." Sanniang said: "Since I was a child, I have been walking outside the rivers and lakes, and I am used to the wind and frost, but I am not used to wearing makeup." Lin Niangzi persuaded: "All women, at home from the father, married from the husband, husband from the son, husband and son is a virtue, the husband and the son are virtuous, and the sister-in-law will take the "Female Commandment" to you later." ”

Sanniang blinked and pretended not to know: "What is the female commandment, maybe eat?" Jin'er laughed out loud when she heard this, and Lin Niangzi couldn't help but say: "Such a gag, sharp teeth and sharp mouth, no wonder your master can't control you." Sanniang is not strange, the female commandment must still be familiar, the work of the first female sage, there must be a reason. So from the beginning of the day, Sanniang had another drudgery, reciting books such as "The Female Commandment" and "The Biography of the Daughters".

Hu Sanniang, who was deeply affected by the great defense of etiquette and religion, worked hard there all day, and wanted to say goodbye several times, but he thought about the great change that his senior brother Lin Chong was about to collide with, and when he worked hard for a long time, he didn't want to see the senior brother and his wife finally become a bird in the same forest, scattered, if he left, it would be a sin, and he gritted his teeth and endured it at the moment.

On this day, Sanniang was reading a book alone in the house, and she was really depressed, and when she couldn't help it anymore, she remembered Lu Zhishen. After thinking about it once, Lin Chong was not at home, Lin Niangzi and Jin'er went back to Zhang Jiaotou's house to visit, and locked the door when they left. At that moment, Sanniang changed into men's clothes, took some silver, opened the pane, and walked over the wall through the window.
