Early the next morning, Pan Mingzhong was reading in the room, and Xuelian walked back from outside: "Young Master Lin Biao is here, and the master asked the girls to rush to the hall immediately, otherwise there will be good fruits for you to eat!" ”

"Hmm!" She closed the book.

At the same time, she suddenly remembered that although Cousin Nalin had been here a few times, she had never seen it once.

After thinking for a while, she retracted her thoughts and began to go out, passing through the east hall, turning the quiet corridor, and entering the hall.

In the sunlight, the hall is lit up with orange and warm tones.

At this moment, the crowd gathered, Pan Changping, wearing a blue robe, sat elegantly on the main hall, and in front of him stood a man with extraordinary spirit, and all kinds of women stood neatly on his left and right. There are servants standing in every corner.

The richly dressed woman to his left was his wife, Madame Yang, and the two young and beautiful women standing below her were his eldest daughter, Pan Chengzhong, and his second daughter, Pan Yunzhong; And the woman standing to his right was his concubine Aunt Zhao, and his youngest daughter Pan Lianzhong was standing next to her.

At this time, as soon as she entered, she saw a slender young man dressed in purple, like a lush forest and bamboo, resolute and upright.

At this time he was talking to his father.

Suddenly, he heard a sound and turned to look at her.

She saw his face clearly, and also saw his impressive deep eyes, and suddenly her eyes were flooded with waves, a heart beat at speed, strange and eager emotions rushed to her brain like a tide, and the heart that was beating abnormally was like the waves on the sea.

It's him! The man I met in the jungle yesterday!

She felt that in the red dust, meeting him was a kind of fate, and only his delicate eyes were as bright as stars, illuminating eternity.

He wore a purple striped placket robe, a narrow waist with a wide brocade belt of auspicious clouds, and a delicate and smooth black jade around his waist. Wearing a jade crown, a few wisps of green silk shawl untied down, pouring thousands of brilliance under the sunlight, the face is like a crown of jade, the corners of the eyes are slightly raised, the eyebrows are merry, the nose is straight, the red lips are slightly raised, handsome and elegant, warm as jade, what a beautiful man!

He looked at her slightly. She is tall, wearing an indigo checkered forging skirt, her waist is as plain as she is, her head is a fairy bun, and a magnolia jade hairpin is inserted into the bun obliquely.

When he saw her staring at him, he smiled at her, and she blushed for a moment, and stopped looking at him.

It should be her, he smiled helplessly again.

This first encounter was the beauty he gave her, and it was also the beginning of the nightmare he brought her.

Pan Changping was slightly displeased when he saw her like this: "What are you doing standing still!" Come over and meet your cousin! Then, he sneered at the man and said, "This is my third daughter Mingzhong, the younger daughter's mentality, she has never seen the world, and now she is rude in court, don't blame her!" ”

Hearing this, her eyes turned red.

At this time, a pleasant voice penetrated into her ears: "Uncle, why do you say it so seriously, I won't blame her!" With that, the man turned to look at her and nodded at her.

She reacted with an "ah" sound.

When the sisters saw her like this, they all "sneered" and covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and snickered.

Suddenly, her face turned even redder! She had no choice but to pretend to be calm and walked towards them. "Daddy, cousin." She saluted them one by one.

He glanced at her and said with a smile, "Cousin is polite!" ”

Pan Changping's eyes looked past her and looked at everyone: "This is your Aunt Longyue's eldest son, and also the second son of Lin Guogong - Lin Jingmao!" Don't look at his young age, now he is General Dingyuan......"

Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Yang interjected and said happily: "Jingmao, it's really promising!" I heard that you still passed the assessment and sat in this position step by step, not at all like other noble sons, who relied on their family power to find a high position. ”

Seeing her like this, Pan Changping said unhappily: "Women's family, I haven't finished speaking, what do you say!" You know what! ”

Mrs. Yang glanced at him angrily: "Aren't I happy!" As soon as I am happy, I talk a lot, and I can't help but say a few more words. ”

Pan Changping ignored her and continued: "He went to the border last year to march, but more than a month ago, when the war ended, he returned with his horse, and now he happened to pass by our Youzhou here, so he took this opportunity to rest for a while. Sometimes you're not there, but you have to be at home! ”

Lin Jingmao waved his hand, his eyes were sincere: "Uncle, you don't have to be so kind, now it's Jingmao who has come to disturb you." Recently, I have been quite tired, anxious to find a place to stop to rest for a while, and I came in a hurry, without a generous gift, which is really repentance! When I return to Beijing, I will definitely repay with a generous gift! ”

Pan Changping looked at him: "Where is it, Jingmao is polite!" If you have prepared a generous gift, but you have been a share, I have never treated you as an outsider, since your mother died, you have not been here for several years, and my uncle is very concerned, and now I am very pleased to see that you are resolute and handsome, and you have achieved a small success, and you are both talented and beautiful; It's rare that you will come to visit the cold house, and you will be despised and happy, but the cold room is ugly, so don't dislike it! Furthermore, those who come are guests, and you have come from afar, so you should be treated with kindness. It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, set up a banquet in the evening, and then call your Uncle Yuechen's family to chat together. ”

Mrs. Yang smiled and said, "Jing Maote is polite, it doesn't have to be like this!" If you can come, I will be happy and treat you well, I will wait for my wishes, so that I can also be at ease! ”

After hearing this, Lian Zhong smiled and said, "Mother is right, my cousin can come, the sisters are happy, I will definitely come to my cousin often in the future, don't be annoyed!" ”

"You little hoof, you usually don't care about being greedy, but now you don't care about the occasion, you are ashamed to disgrace the family!" After Yun Zhong finished speaking to her, he suddenly looked at Ming Zhong.

Ming Zhong knew that she was alluding to something, so she was aggrieved and lowered her head.

Lin Jingmao looked at them and said with a smile: "That's the case, then Jingmao is here to thank you!" Again, uncle don't be humble, here the pavilion is diverse, elegant and shaded, self-contained, now it is the height of summer, you can escape the heat, cousins gather together, there is the joy of reunion, cousins are born slim, they come to me, I am too late to be happy, how can I dislike! What's so ugly here? ”

When Pan Changping heard him say this, he couldn't help laughing: "Haha, Jingmao's mouth is in the wind, and my uncle is willing to bow down." Then you can stay in Zuiyuzhai! Quanfu, remember to take Young Master Lin later. A gray-clothed servant in the corner replied with a "hey".

He sighed again and said, "Your grandmother is very old and sick in bed, and she will be glad if you could visit her!" With that, he patted him on the shoulder.

Lin Jingmao said sincerely: "Uncle, don't worry, Jingmao will definitely visit her." I would like to ask my grandmother what disease she suffers from. I have some connections in Beijing, and I know some people who are skilled in medicine, and maybe they can heal. ”

When Pan Mingzhong saw him say this, he felt that he was a benevolent and handsome humble gentleman. I admired him even more, and couldn't help but raise my eyes to peek at him, only to find that he was looking at herself, and a "buzz" sounded in her head, and a blank struck her, her heart skipped a beat, and she stopped looking at him in a blink of an eye, but when she thought that he found out that she was peeking at him, she was sad.

At this moment, Pan Changping shook his head: "Alas, you have a heart, it's just an old disease, it's hard to heal, and she is in her twilight years, and she doesn't want to toss anymore, so she doesn't have to trouble you!" Talk to you for a long time, you are tired too, go and rest! Let's disperse too! ”

So everyone saluted again, and the crowd gradually dispersed.
