By the time Lin Mubai came back, it was already the time to hold the lamp. When he arrived at the door of Xiangyuan, he made a gesture, signaled the maid to be silent, lifted his robe and tiptoed into the room.

I saw that Mrs. was leaning on the bed, patting the sleepy Zhilan in her arms with her hand, and her long and smooth hair fell down, which made Lin Mubai's heart itch unbearably.

"Su Qing......" The beauty looked up when she heard the voice, and when she saw that it was him, she said angrily: "What are you doing so late?" ”

"Su Qing, how about staying in this Xiangyuan after being a husband? Liyuan is too far away......" Lin Mubai said cheekily.

"Didn't you stay in Liyuan all the time before you went to Suzhou? How was it not too far away then. "The beauty didn't appreciate it at all.

Lin Mubai touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "Wasn't it because of the high hall at that time......

Mrs. Lin was embarrassed and funny when she saw him, and couldn't help but soften her tone: "That Miss Mingyue came here at noon today." ”

Lin Mubai became nervous: "What did she say?" ”

"They said that they would be worthy of my sister in the future, husband." The last two words are deliberately aggravated.

"Huh? This woman really dares to say......" Lin Mubai gasped. After a while, he came back to his senses, sat on the edge of the bed and said solemnly to his wife: "Su Qing, don't be distracted by what she said, you have to believe me." When I entered the palace to meet the emperor today, I handed over all the information of this bright moon to the emperor. It has now been confirmed, and she will be sent to the palace tomorrow. Our Lin Mansion also has less trouble. ”

"Sure? Then she is indeed ......" Mrs. Lin was stunned for a while, "Alas, I'm afraid it's a bigger trouble......"

"Where else is there any trouble?" Lin Mubai, who had a matter on his mind, didn't think so, and hurriedly took his daughter from his wife's arms and kissed her twice, and then asked the nurse who was guarding the door to take her away.

Zhilan is actually very reluctant to be taken away, and the story is not finished yet, and she always gets people away at critical moments. When I went back to my room, I lay on my bed, not sleepy at all, only looking out the window with my eyes open. For some reason, she also had a sense of foreboding, just like Mrs. Lin.

In the next two days, Zhilan lived as calm as water, and she had never heard of any movement of the bright moon girl. I guess her father has secretly packed up this big trouble and sent it to the palace! It seems that he really wants to get her out of her hands quickly.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The sun rises as usual, and the days go on as usual. Three months have passed, and Zhilan will climb; Another three months passed, and she could eat some liquid food in addition to milk; Another three months passed, and she had begun to stagger to walk; Another three months passed, and she was finally able to speak. All of this was done with a vague memory of the normal growth of the baby from her previous life, and she did not want to be a child prodigy at all.

On this day, the maids Shen'er and Qi'er came to Xiangyuan with Zhilan in their arms, and saw that Mrs. Lin was directing the people to carry things in the courtyard, and those things looked like gift boxes. "Mother...... As soon as the mother ...... was put on the ground, Zhilan spread her two little fat legs and ran towards Mrs. Lin like a penguin.

Mrs. Lin, who was busy, saw her daughter coming, and hurriedly picked her up and kissed her twice: "Mother's careful liver......"

"Don't take the ...... mother" takes the route of rounding around the bush to find out the news.

"Mother is not leaving, I will take you and my brother to celebrate grandpa's birthday tomorrow......"

"Congratulations...... Birthday? ”

"It's my grandfather's birthday...... Well, you'll understand later......"

Zhilan is called a cool one in her heart. I haven't been out since I came to this world, and I've been in this house for more than a year, even if it's a housegirl, I want to go out to breathe.

The next day, Lin Mubai took his wife and a pair of children to go to his father-in-law's house, the capital Hanfu, to pay homage to his birthday. On the bumpy carriage, Zhilan was as energetic as a monkey, and she couldn't see enough of the lively scene outside the window when she lifted the curtains. I saw a crowd of people outside the car window, some on foot, some on horseback, some on horseback, some on donkey, and some pushing wheelbarrows...... On both sides of the street are various teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, workshops, etc., which have a prosperous atmosphere. Lin Mubai and his wife only thought that it was the first time for their daughter to go out to see a fresh and curious thing, but they didn't know that Zhilan's mood at the moment was as ecstatic as the tide: "This is simply a realistic version of the Qingming Riverside Map!" ”

When Zhilan was still pulling the curtain to probe her brain, the Han Mansion had already arrived, and Zhilan, who was still unsatisfied, was carried out of the carriage.

The Han Mansion is worthy of being the former General's Mansion, the courtyard is solemn and solemn, and even the stone lion in front of the door is much more majestic than others. After entering the door and passing through a corridor, you will arrive at the main hall of the Han Mansion. There were already many guests waiting in the hall. Mrs. Lin and her husband exchanged a few words, and then took Guanyun and Zhilan into the side hall dedicated to female guests.

The side hall was already full of all kinds of noble ladies with flowers and branches, and laughter and laughter rang out. As soon as Mrs. Lin walked in, everyone got up and smiled: "Mrs. Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time." And behold, in the midst of the crowd sat a woman of about sixty years of age, richly dressed but not extravagant, and with a kind but majestic countenance. Seeing Mrs. Lin coming in, she said softly, "Qing'er is here." This is Mrs. Han, Han Suqing's mother-in-law, Lin Guanyun and Lin Zhilan's grandmother. Lin Guanyun ran directly into Mrs. Han's arms.

Mrs. Lin sat down in the first seat under Mrs. Han, picked up her daughter and said, "Lan'er, call grandmother quickly." ”

"Grandmother......" Zhilan laughed at Mrs. Han, and her arms stretched out towards her.

Mrs. Han laughed happily, and hurriedly hugged Zhilan, holding her two arms and standing her on her lap. "This kid is really well-behaved...... Come, this bracelet for you......" Then you will take off the jade bracelet in your hand. "Mother, no, this is left to you by your grandmother, besides, the child is still ......young," Mrs. Lin hurriedly stopped. Mrs. Han shook her head with a smile and said, "I like this child, keep it for her as a dowry in the future." "I insisted on taking the bracelet off. Mrs. Lin couldn't refuse, so she thanked her mother and asked the maid next to her to accept the bracelet.

"Tsk, this little Lan'er is really blessed!" A woman who looked like a young woman said with a smile. Zhilan turned her head to look at the woman, and saw that her eyebrows were extremely thin, and it was unpleasant to look at; Goodbye to her expression is more sarcastic than smiling, although her face is smiling, her eyes are sharp and tricky, which is extremely uncomfortable. Next to this woman stood a little girl of five or six years old, who was also beautiful and delicate, but with a gloomy expression, presumably her daughter.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Mrs. Lin said lightly. The atmosphere in the hall quickly cooled down, and it seemed that everyone didn't like this sister-in-law very much.

When everyone was thinking about how to change the topic, the little girl next to the young woman suddenly ran to Mrs. Han, and gave Zhilan a slap with a "snap".
