Chapter III
The most important point is that the uncle is elegant, generous and calm, and has never drunk a word or a half to them, and the maids in the house, in addition to wanting to go to the eldest lady in charge, want to be assigned to serve the uncle.
After Miss Xue and Young Master Xue were picked up, even the old lady didn't care much, or the uncle took the initiative to take the brothers and sisters to live with him, and Young Master Xue was led by him to read and learn calligraphy, and specially invited the female gentleman to teach Miss Xue.
It's just that Miss Xue is not very studious, she was abused by her stepmother in the past, and when she first came, she was afraid to see anything, and she didn't even know a single big character, and the uncle spent a lot of effort to teach her to write her name. Later, Miss Xue fell seriously ill and stopped going to school.
However, if the uncle finds out that the third master came to Miss Xue to put on makeup, I am afraid that it will ......
Leng Hui was feeling a little uneasy in her heart, and Leng Buding was slapped on the back, and she screamed in fright.
Behind it was a string of crisp laughter.
Turning around, Leng Hui saw a pair of beautiful eyes teasing herself, and looked at it again, almost stammering: "Xue, Xue Shao...... Girl, third master? She glanced into the room, making sure there was no one else.
"How's it going? You almost recognized me as my brother. Xue Mingcan winked at her slyly, and raised his hand to pull out the stone blue round-necked robe he was wearing.
Leng Hui saw that she was wearing her brother's clothes, put down the girl's bud bun, combed the boy's dress, and brought a red pearl-inlaid forehead on her forehead, and the two black eyebrows under her forehead were also gently raised by her, at first glance, she was really a heroic little boy.
"Leng Hui, what do you think of me?" Lin Hong pushed her and couldn't wait to ask for praise.
She had already been shocked before, and now she couldn't help but take another breath of cold air. I have to say that Miss Xue is really a pair of skillful hands, and she dresses the third master like a fairy daughter in a painting. In addition, the third master has good looks, phoenix eyes and a high nose, and looks forward to Shenfei, which is a little more expensive than ordinary women.
Leng Hui couldn't help nodding, Lin Hong was completely happy, and said, "Okay Leng Hui, you borrow me a dress to wear, Mingcan's clothes are too small for me to wear." ”
Leng Hui, who was fascinated by beauty, immediately went to find a blue satin tooth pinching vest and a red silk skirt, Lin Hong hurriedly changed into it, and Miaohui came back.
She used lunch to change Leng Hui, and she was also shocked to see the two of them. Unexpectedly, Xue Mingcan secretly grabbed her and whispered in her ear for a while, Lin Hongjin looked eagerly on the side, and at first she waved her hand and shook her head, and then Xue Mingcan bargained and whispered a few more words, and Miaohui finally nodded with difficulty.
Xue Mingcan took Lin Hongjin out like this.
The courtyard where she lived had four entrances, and after passing through the hall and going out along the verandah, there was a small corner gate leading directly to the alley. Because Lin Xian has entered the official career, it is inevitable that dignitaries and dignitaries will come to visit from time to time, and he specially chose this place, which is also considered a single family, and outsiders do not have to detour from the gate, and the inverted seat room has a corridor to communicate with the Bofu.
When the two of them went out from the Hanging Flower Gate in a hurry, a few small people guarding the door were full of food and sleepy, and suddenly saw the golden boy and jade girl, at first they thought it was very eye-catching, and then looked at it, and they were almost frightened, but Lin Hongjin threw a small bag of golden melon seeds to them before this, so he finally suppressed the soul that was about to fly away.
"Shhh, you shouldn't have seen today's incident, don't tell the uncle when you turn around, otherwise you'll ......" Xue Mingcan stood with his hands in his hands, a pair of apricot eyes blazing and threatening them, and finally the gold landscape folding fan in his hand was slammed into the little guy's head, bluffing them into nodding like pounding garlic.
Enwei and Shi, the two who walked out of Bofu were in a good mood, but they felt that the sky had never been so blue, and the sun had never been so good. The noisy voices on the street were blown into the alley by the sultry spring breeze, which tickled Xue Mingcan's heart, and he ran towards the alley with excitement on his face.
Lin Hongjin seems to have paid special attention to the sisters' manners, and although the imitation is immature at this time, it also has a bit of charm, fortunately, the red silk dress covers his big feet.
"Mingcan, where are we going now?"
"Take me to Huixian Restaurant for dinner first!"
In fact, Lin Hong wanted to find a studio to watch a shadow puppet show, but in the face of Xue Mingcan's dark apricot eyes, with a puddle of spring water, he really had no resistance, so he nodded and said yes.
About a quarter of an hour later, the Huixian Restaurant in the new gate in the east of the city ushered in a heroic young man, leading a graceful and slender woman.
Xiao Ercha thought that the fairy concubines had descended to earth, and seeing that they were well-dressed and elegantly behaved, he knew that they were not dignitaries, but also children of the family, so he took out 10,000 points of hospitality.
It's just that they didn't expect that the little two actually ordered ten people's portions, braised elbow, barella soup, roasted chicken, ginger shrimp, crispy crystal fish, lychee paste, and a plate of plates was brought into the small private room on the second floor.
Xue Mingcan swallowed slowly, and after eating for more than half an hour, Lin Hongjin had gastrointestinal discomfort because of the last dish of sand sugar, mung bean, licorice, ice and snow cold water, and left her to wait in the private room.
The door is closed, and the noise of the lobby downstairs can still penetrate the ears, and when you look down from the window, you can see the crowded and bustling streets, all kinds of people coming and going. "It's so lively. Someone else's hilariousness. She sighed softly in her heart, and couldn't help but hug her knees and lean back in the chair.
No matter how many people are around, no matter how full her stomach is, the emptiness seems to be brought out of the mother's womb, in the excitement, in the laughter, in the silent erosion of the night, it will unexpectedly hit her heart and tear her mood.
It seems to have fallen into an ancient well, cold to the bone, and there is no waveless darkness. The memories of before the age of twelve gradually blurred, and the strange dreams of the past two months became extremely intimate. She wanted to throw herself into the arms of the old lady in her dreams and weep bitterly regardless of it.
There was a hint of itching on the corners of his mouth and cheeks, and Xue Mingcan brushed it with the back of his hand, it was cold and cold, it turned out to be a line of tears. "What are you crying about?" She herself suddenly felt funny, after suffering for so many years, it was easy to be taken in such a prosperous place, and her brothers and sisters who loved her, where did the sadness in her heart come from?
She picked up half a cup of cheese on the table and tasted it, sweet to the core, trying to dilute the inexplicable emptiness, like a drop of water licked by a burning tongue of fire, in vain.
At this time, on the next wall of her bag, two sons of the family were sitting and drinking tea. Zhong Qisheng, the eldest young master of the Zhenguo family, made an appointment with a friend for a drink today, but neither of them was strong enough to drink, so in the end he had to order a pot of slushy black tea and drink tea quietly.
The effect of the tea is not bad, Zhong Qisheng drank it halfway, his mind was a lot clearer, and he remembered some things.
"Hongyu! Guess who I just saw? Young Master Zhong poked his blushing face out of the teacup, his eyes shone slightly, and he almost choked on the person sitting opposite with a startled face.
Lin Hongyu coughed a few times, looked at the sleeves of his clothes that were wet with tea with annoyance, frowned and asked, "Who did you see?" ”
"Your little cousin, Xue Mingyu. It's called Xue Mingyu, right? Zhong Qisheng said, "The kid seems to have grown a lot taller and dressed quite energetically." ”
Lin Hongyu nodded lightly, "I'm not close to him, it's all the eldest brother who is studying." ”
"I didn't see your eldest brother, I only saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl behind him, very charming, and at first glance he was a little similar to your eldest sister."
"My big sister?" Lin Hongyu frowned, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to offend Sister Ling." Zhong Qisheng thought he was angry, because the woman who came to the restaurant without a hat and let people see her face at random was probably a first-class prostitute, and she was recruited here to accompany the wine and laugh.
"Which private room did you see them in?"
Zhong Qisheng raised his head and said, "It seems that it is near us, and I just went out to meet that girl again." ”
Lin Hongyu put down the teacup and got up to leave, and as soon as the curtain door opened, he saw a slender back standing a few arrows away.
"Dare to ask the girl?" After asking and no response, Zhong Qisheng followed, and said loudly: "That girl? ”
Lin Hong hurriedly ran back after solving the gastrointestinal discomfort, thinking about going to see the shadow puppet, they had limited time and wanted to go back before the eldest brother returned home. Suddenly, I heard someone behind me calling a girl, and I didn't react at first, but when I looked around, wasn't he the only "girl" on the porch?
What do you want me to do? Could it be that you have taken a fancy to my beauty? Lin Hongjin turned around charmingly, and was completely stunned the moment he saw his second brother.
Lin Hongyu was also stunned, but quickly came back to his senses, strode towards his younger brother, and said angrily: "What are you doing!" ”
Xue Mingcan, who was in the house, heard the movement at the door, and was startled the moment he opened the door.
Lin Hongzhi was about to ask clearly, and saw a young man in a brocade robe come out of the private room, with clear eyebrows and good appearance. He thought it was his cousin Xue Mingyu, but he didn't expect the other party to see him, so he grabbed his arm and called out sweetly, "Brother Hong." ”
Xue Mingcan was very happy to see Lin Hongxuan. She couldn't tell the reason, it seemed that this liking was planted in the mother's womb before it landed, following the wisp of emptiness. In her opinion, a good meal is not as good as the first sight with him.
Although this cousin treats her very well, he only greets her politely when he sees her on weekdays, and sometimes he even feels inexplicably impatient with her excessive enthusiasm and joy.
