Although it rained during the day, there was no cloud in the sky tonight, the stars were brilliant, the moonlight was bright, and it would be Qixi Festival in a few days, and it was also Lin Miaoyin's birthday.

It was a little late when I came back from the palace today, and the house prepared dinner, and the housekeeper took the maidservants to the side hall to set up dinner.

On the walls around the house are hung ebony hanging screens with plum orchids and bamboo chrysanthemums and famous calligraphy and paintings, and in the corners around the room, there are floor-to-ceiling candlesticks standing next to the dining table, and the candles are swaying, illuminating the room.

In the middle is a large round wooden table, which can seat ten people to eat together, and the table top is covered with a tablecloth embroidered with dark red gold thread, and surrounded by round stools.

The maidservants put the dishes in their hands on the table in the same order: lotus root pork rib soup, braised fish, yellow stewed duck paws, lion's head, cold cucumbers, stir-fried yams, green pepper shredded potatoes......

Lin Miaoyin's stomach was already rumbling with hunger, and the last dish was served, and her chopsticks had firmly clamped a duck paw.

Miao Jing gently slapped her chopsticks, "put down the ......," and then turned to the housekeeper and ordered, "Go and invite the prince to have dinner together." ”

"Did you hear that?" Lin Miaoyin waved her hand excitedly, "Go quickly!" ”

"Yes, the old slave is going!" The butler trotted away.

Lin Song came over and sat down and looked at Miao Jing with a puzzled expression, "Madam, ...... this?" ”

"I'm a little worried, he doesn't look right in the carriage." Miaojing said to Lin Miaoyin: "You go to Miaolin Ju to get your mother's medicine box." Except for Lin Miaoyin and herself, her medicine box never let others touch it, and neither can Lin Song.

"Huh? …… Oh! Lin Miaoyin was reluctant, the medicine box was very heavy, and she had to carry it from Miaolin Ju, she really didn't want to take it, now she just wanted to eat a bite of duck paws.

"Why don't you go soon? How could a doctor not even want to carry a medicine box? ”

Seeing that Miaojing was a little annoyed, Lin Miaoyin went to Miaolinju in a hurry, she put the medicine box on her back, and walked to the side hall with a hum.

"Shizi, please ...... here"

This is the voice of the housekeeper, Lin Miaoyin followed the sound and looked into the distance, the silver moonlight was sprinkled on the road, the magnolia trees on both sides were blooming just right, and there were two figures on the road, which were the housekeeper and Gu Beicheng.

"Stop!" Lin Miaoyin roared.

The two figures stopped suddenly, Lin Miaoyin hurried a few steps forward, and said to the housekeeper out of breath: "You have something to do, I'll take him over." ”

The housekeeper does have a lot of things, no, he is still talking about Lin Miaoyin's birthday, "That...... The old slave thanked Miss. ”

"It's okay, let's get busy." When the housekeeper walked away, Lin Miaoyin leaned on the magnolia tree and covered her stomach, "Ouch, it hurts...... I'm holding my breath, I'm out of breath......"

Gu Beicheng hurriedly took off the medicine box on her body and put it aside, helped her and asked, "Is it serious?" Do you want me to call Dr. Miao Jing? ”

"No...... No, you can just help me carry the medicine box......" Lin Miaoyin glanced at him.

Gu Beicheng lifted the heavy medicine box, and just as he was about to put it on his shoulder, he saw Lin Miaoyin's uncertain eyes, and the night couldn't hide her weak look of being a thief.

"Now...... Does it still hurt? Gu Beicheng looked at the medicine box coldly, and then at Lin Miaoyin, his tone was a little cold.

Lin Miaoyin said with a bewildered expression: "Alas? Strange, how can it be so good all of a sudden? It's amazing! Forcibly smiled at Gu Beicheng.

Gu Beicheng hung the medicine box back on her shoulder, leaned into Lin Miaoyin's ear, and said lightly: "Poor acting skills!" Then he looked at her with the eyes of a fool, "Still not leading the way?" ”

What kind of eyes did he have? Yes? Lin Miaoyin was very unconvinced, did she think she was stupid? Do you need to put on such a contemptuous look? She wanted to see who was stupid......

"How do you know I'm pretending?" Lin Miaoyin blinked.

Gu Beicheng looked at her, how could she think of such a stupid question? He refused to answer.

"Oh...... I know" Lin Miaoyin turned him on his elbow and said jokingly: "Sample, Meng, right?" ”

That's it? Still use Meng? Gu Beicheng said coldly: "Fools know ......"

"That's right! You're right! Lin Miaoyin looked at him with a hippie smile: "Indeed, fool, you know!" ”

How dare she call him a fool? Gu Beicheng glared at her, grabbed a branch with one hand, broke it hard, and with a "snap", the branch was broken by him.

Lin Miaoyin immediately picked up the medicine box, leaned over slightly, spread her hand forward, and said seriously: "Shizi, please ......"

After a while, the two entered the house one after the other, and as soon as they smelled the aroma of vegetables, Lin Miaoyin quickly put the medicine box down.

couldn't wait to pounce on the table, picked up the chopsticks and was about to "do a big job", when he suddenly remembered that Gu Beicheng was also there, and he returned to the appearance of a lady in a second.

"Father, mother, ...... eating" Lin Miaoyin said politely, then elegantly picked up the chopsticks and stretched them out leisurely to prepare for the clip...... Well...... She hesitated between a few plates of meat and vegetarian dishes.

Deep down, I really want to eat meat, I am already a girl who has no meat and is not happy, but Gu Beicheng is here, how can she eat like that? If he felt like a pig, wouldn't it be all over?

After a fierce psychological struggle, she picked up a trace of potatoes, covered her mouth with her other hand, carefully put it in her mouth, closed her mouth and chewed slowly, and suddenly became ladylike, steady and dignified......

"Yin'er, give! Your favorite big meatballs! Lin Song picked up a fist-sized lion's head and put it into Lin Miaoyin's bowl.

Gu Beicheng glanced at her in surprise, Lin Miaoyin smiled at Gu Beicheng awkwardly, and then gritted her back molars and said, "I...... Do you like it? He also winked desperately at Lin Song.

The maid who was standing aside and waiting lowered her head and smiled secretly, how can the eldest lady eat like this on weekdays, but today the prince is here, look at the young lady to be nervous......

"Ouch, I'm afraid you're mistaken, it's me who loves to eat!" Miaojing took the lion's head from Lin Miaoyin's bowl and asked Lin Miaoyin meaningfully, "Right?" ”

Lin Song didn't have an idea, but Miao Jing saw it all in her eyes, the girl was older and thoughtful.

Lin Miaoyin and Miaojing looked at each other and smiled, Gu Beicheng quietly enjoyed her performance, silently sandwiched some duck palms, sandwiched some fish meat and put it into Lin Miaoyin's bowl, "Girls also have to eat more meat, it's not beautiful if it's too thin." ”

Lin Song took a look, how could he still pick up the dishes for Lin Miaoyin, he was a proton of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and the emperor put him in the Lin Mansion, in fact, he was under house arrest, not to mention eating together, and he shouldn't even have much contact on weekdays.

Just like Taifu said, Lin Mansion was already jealous of Nan Xiao, and if this kind of thing about eating with protons reached Nan Xiao's ears, I don't know how much trouble it would bring to Lin Mansion!

"Ahem...... Lin Song cleared his throat and looked at Gu Beicheng seriously: "Don't forget your identity." ”

Hehe, well, I don't dare to forget, I can't forget, a proton, he doesn't even have the qualifications to add vegetables, what was he doing just now! I don't know what I'm expecting......

"General, madam, excuse me, Beicheng will retire first." Gu Beicheng got up and bowed, then turned around and left.

"Wait a minute!" Miao Jing stopped him, "I didn't call you here today, I didn't want to embarrass the world, it was because I ...... in the carriage during the day."

"Madame doesn't have to explain to Beicheng, Beicheng retreats." Gu Beicheng gave his hand and didn't let Miao Jing finish his words, what Lin Song said was the truth, thinking about Tang Qianjin, the people of the Lin Mansion treated him well enough, there was no need to explain anything to him, and he turned around and left politely after speaking.

Seeing Gu Beicheng leave, Lin Miaoyin lowered his eyes, how sad he is now, his father said so much to him that hurt his self-esteem, and in front of so many people, no matter how bad it is, he is also a son of the world!

Even if you don't treat him as a son, at least he's a person, right? What about mutual respect? It was my father's fault, how could he be so inconsiderate of the feelings of others? Later...... Would he still consider her a friend?

Thinking about it, tears flowed down, Lin Miaoyin wiped it with her sleeve, got up, choked and whispered, "I'm full...... I didn't even look at Lin Miaojing and Miaojing, and ran away.

Miao Jing clenched her fist and slapped Lin Song's arm, "It's all you!" If you can't speak, don't speak! "Look at the two children you made, a good meal, and now they are all gone......"

"Why do you blame me?" Lin Song was anxious, "Madam! You're confused! Who is that child? That's the son of Beili who is like a fake! Gu Qiang's son! ”

"What's the matter if it's just a meal?" Miao Jing was also anxious.

Lin Song waved his hand, asked all the attendants to retreat, stood up and quickly closed the door, walked to Miao Jing's side, took a deep breath, adjusted his excited emotions, leaned over and whispered in her ear:

"Nan Xiao is a suspicious person by nature! He's ruthless! I was originally afraid that I held military power, but if I knew that I was close to that son, the Lin Mansion was afraid that a catastrophe would come! ”

Miao Jing sighed, "Although what the husband said is reasonable, but he is just a child, and he has no relatives here, except for Taifu who comes to teach on weekdays, no one is looking for him at all, how much of a threat can a child have?" ”

Lin Song sat down, very irritable, poured a glass of wine, and drank it all! After that, he poured another cup and put it on the table, "It's not that I'm afraid of Gu Beicheng, but I'm afraid of Gu Qiang!" ”

"Gu Qiang, Gu Qiang! Wasn't Beili defeated? Besides, other people's sons have been arrested by you, what are you afraid of? "Miao Jing can't understand it at all, it's just a child, why bother everywhere! She is also a mother, and she can't stand watching her child suffer!

Lin Song pointed on the table with his finger and said in a deep voice: "Although Beili was defeated, the strength itself is not weak, and this time, we are also narrowly defeated!" ”

Miao Jing poured herself a glass of wine, touched it with Lin Song's wine glass, and said proudly: "There is a husband in the Southern Jin Dynasty, there is nothing to be afraid of, not to mention one Gu Qiang, ten Gu Qiang, and they are not defeated!" Then, smile and drink it all!

"Alas, alas! Don't drink like this, you can't drink enough, and you'll get drunk for a while! Lin Song snatched Miao Jing's cup, "I can't drink it, I can't drink enough, I'm not addicted to alcohol, I don't know what I'm doing every time I drink too much!" ”

"Haha......" Miao Jing was so amused by Lin Song's anxious look......

"Hey! Don't drink anymore......"

"Hahahaha......"

The house was happy and peaceful, and even the stars were envious of happiness, but the wind outside the house was chilling.
