Mingyue, who was dressed up, was stopped at the gate of the courtyard with her maids, and they were told that "idlers are not allowed to enter".

"Idler?!" Mingyue's voice suddenly rose, "Go and ask your master, how much money he spent......" The second half of the sentence was swallowed back into her stomach raw. She also knows that it is not glorious to dig out the history of her Qinglou woman.

"Miss, let's go back." Mei Xiang timidly persuaded.

While arguing, the door was opened. Lin Mubai walked out in a moon-white robe, and his face could not be seen clearly in the shadows of the trees. I saw him standing sideways in front of the door and said, "Miss Mingyue, you are visiting at this time, I don't know what is the matter?" ”

Mingyue suddenly saw the master, but she was a little caught off guard, her pretty face was slightly red, and she replied softly: "The slave and the master have been seeing each other every day on the boat for more than a month, and I don't see the master today, but I am not used to it." If it's inconvenient here, can you go to the slave place to talk? ”

Lin Mubai hurriedly said as if he had been pricked by a needle: "Miss Mingyue, I was just entrusted by someone and loyal to others, and I didn't think about it." If there is any inconvenience for the young lady to stay here, I will find my wife tomorrow. There is still something to do below, so I will not accompany you. Then he hurriedly pulled out his feet and entered the door, as if there was a flood beast behind him.

The door slammed shut again, leaving the master and servant in their place, still not relieving.

Mingyue's face turned red all of a sudden, she stomped her foot suddenly, turned her head and walked away quickly. Even the Qinglou woman has self-esteem, not to mention that she still hung her head card when she was in Tianxianglou, and she was always held on top of her head by men, and she was really ashamed to be rejected thousands of miles away like today.

The more Mingyue who returned to the room thought about it, the more angry she became, and she put all the blame on Mrs. Lin. This man was so courteous to her when he was in Suzhou, if he wasn't devoted to himself, how could he redeem himself at such a high price. On the boat back to Beijing, she could see this handsome and chic man almost every day. She has read countless people in the Qinglou, and she knows how rare it is to be such an excellent man in the world. Mingyue thought that Lin Mubai would marry her after getting off the boat. But he never thought that as soon as he arrived in the capital, his master and servant were secretly sent into Meiyuan from the back door of his house. Then a housekeeper came, sent a number of slaves, and dropped a sentence "You must not leave the plum garden at will." When I saw him again, he was still so majestic and upright, but he became so alienated and indifferent.

"It must be her! If she hadn't been in the way, it would have been my cave candle night! Mingyue was ashamed and angry, and finally couldn't help but shout.

Mei Xiang hurriedly looked around, and her face was also a little red. In this case, her young lady dares to say, don't you want her reputation? Alas...... Mei Xiang sighed and closed the doors and windows tightly. Under the fence, if such nonsense reaches the ears of other people's wives, won't they suffer from the pond fish?

At this moment, in another part of the Lin Mansion, the Xiangyuan where Mrs. Lin lives is not very peaceful.

Mrs. Lin ordered Zhilan to be carried to Xiangyuan after the dinner, planning to spend the night with her daughter. Lin Mubai naturally followed him to Xiangyuan. Isn't it the first time I met my daughter, and I have to be close to each other. So the husband and wife teased their daughter in the room for a long time, and when they saw that little mouth kept yawning, they knew that it was late at night.

"Master, it's getting late, I've ordered someone to take care of Liyuan, go back and rest." Mrs. Lin patted her daughter, who was about to fall asleep, and said.

I saw Lin Mubai salivating his face, holding his wife's jade hand and saying, "Su Qing...... You and I have been separated for so long, don't you want me? Is it so ruthless that you want to drive your husband away? ”

With a "snap", Mrs. Lin knocked off the not very honest hand, "There are people in Meiyuan who are thinking about you, why don't you go?" After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at Lin Mubai, and glimpsed that his seven souls flew six spirits.

"Su Qing......" The hand reached up again, "Didn't I say everything in the letter to you?" This is all an errand assigned by the emperor, and I have to ...... for it" Seeing that Mrs. was showing signs of softening, she hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Besides, my thoughts about you ...... Don't you know yet...... Qingqing? ”

As soon as this remark came out, he won the hearts of beauties in one fell swoop. It's just that the beauty hasn't had time to react yet, and she patted her daughter's hand over there, obviously feeling a little body stirring. Only then did the two react and called the maid to take their daughter away.

Zhilan is called a relieved person, and I can't imagine that the ancients are also numb.

The next day, Lin Mubai reluctantly left Xiangyuan and went to the palace to resume his life. The weather was fine on this day, and the breeze blew light clouds. After dinner in the afternoon, Mrs. Lin took her daughter to walk around the courtyard at will, and when she was tired, she sat on the stone bench to rest. When Zhilan was lying comfortably in the nurse's arms, squinting at the sky, and feeling that things were wrong, someone came in to break the peace.

"Madam, Miss Mingyue asks to see you."

"Bring her in."

This is the first time Zhilan has seen this legendary Qinglou woman who caused her mother to frown for a month. Obviously, this woman has been carefully dressed, and I saw that her face was like a peach blossom, her eyes and eyebrows were watery, and her gestures were full of coquettishness. "Mingyue has seen Madame." She saluted and slowly got up. Raising his eyes to look at Mrs. Lin, a trace of surprise and resentment flashed in his eyes. Soon she lowered her eyes and withdrew her gaze. Zhilan knew it was jealousy. Her mother is the first beauty of the famous Xi Dynasty, how can she be compared to a Qinglou woman with a little color.

"No need to be polite." After Lin Mubai's explanation and confession last night, Mrs. Lin's posture was obviously much more confident and determined, "Miss Mingyue is living well in the mansion?" ”

"Everything is fine, Mrs. Bulao is worried." Mingyue bowed her head and saluted.

"I've been busy these days, and I hope you'll forgive me if there's any inconsiderate hospitality."

"No, no." The handkerchief in Mingyue's hand had already been twisted into a strand, as if she was hesitating about something. After a long time, she gritted her teeth and said as if she had made up her mind: "Madam, with all due respect, do you know that Master Lin ransomed me back?" ”

"Yes." Mrs. Lin's mood did not fluctuate at all.

Mingyue took a deep breath and continued: "Then, sister, we will be sisters in the future. I hope my sister will give me a lot of advice. ”

Hearing this, Zhilan almost didn't scold in her infancy, and she couldn't breathe out of her breath, so she felt uncomfortable in her chest, so she simply howled "wow".

The maid in a yard was busy comforting the little lady, feeding and checking diapers, and she was a little busy for a while. This small episode seriously undermined Mingyue's "forcing the palace" process, and the master and servant stood there and walked, nor did they stay.

It was easy to calm the little lady to calm down, and Mrs. Lin got up slowly and gracefully, and said to the dry slave: "It's getting dark, I'm afraid it's going to rain." Let's go back to our room. As soon as he raised his hand, he was about to go back to the room, and when he turned around, he saw that Mingyue's master and servant were still standing there. Mrs. Lin pretended to be surprised as if she had just seen them, "Hey, why is Miss Mingyue still here?" The child is not sensible and makes you laugh. Go back quickly, it's going to rain in a while. Beware of catching a cold. With that, he went back to his room with a large group of people.

The wind began to pick up in the yard, and the fallen leaves on the ground were blown up and swirled in the air. The master and servant were stunned in the wind. Mingyue's face is like a cloud in the sky at this moment, dark and green, and it will soon thunder.

At this moment in the room, Zhilan was dancing and smirking at her mother. Mrs. Lin smashed her daughter's little head with her hand: "You, you're going to have fun now." She turned her head to look out the window, a faint smile on her lips.
