In the early morning, Lin Zhuyun was having breakfast with Lin's father and Lin's mother.

She suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Ah Niang, I said earlier that I invited Yong'an's cousin to live in the house, but there is any news?" ”

When Lin Mu heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of her eyebrows: "It's almost there!" Soon! Previously, they said in the letter that they would come by water, and if they counted the days, they should be going to Lingcheng! When the time comes, call your big brother to take Luqing to the dock to pick it up. ”

Lin Zhuyun nodded slightly, put a mouthful of food into his mouth and asked, "Auntie, I haven't seen that cousin, he ...... What does it look like? ”

Lin Mu recalled and said: "I also saw Lu Qing last time, it's been many years, he was still young at that time, I only remember that his eyes are not big, but ...... The brain is quite big! ”

Lin Zhuyun was speechless when he heard this, and only said after a while: "What about the figure?" How does it compare with General Kwong? ”

Lin Mu frowned slightly and said: "He was still young at that time, like a little Luobu, and he couldn't see how he was in shape, but looking at his parents, he probably wouldn't be as tall as General Kuang." ”

Lin Zhuyun thought in her heart that it was over, if she wanted to match such a man with Lu Qing's cousin, I was afraid that not only would it not eliminate Lu Qing's thoughts about Kuang Lian, but it might also add another fire to her spring heart.

She wrinkled her little face and asked, "Didn't you say that you were a handsome boy before?" Why is this happening now? ”

"He's a handsome boy! He loves poetry, and is willing to read and improve, he was selected as a talent when he was young, and now he is preparing to be admitted to the Jinshi. ”

Lin Zhuyun felt a headache again, she thought for a while and said, "Auntie, can I go to pick up Yong'an's cousin together?" ”

What she thought was that if the real person really couldn't bear to look at it directly, she would be able to redeem a little bit with a few kind words.

Mother Lin nodded and said, "It's okay, let Luqing go with a girl, maybe she will be so ashamed that she won't dare to say anything." ”

On the dock that day, Lin Zhuyun was the most anxious person in the audience, but Xu Lu was very calm and calm, his expression was as usual, and even with a hint of indifference.

After waiting for a long time, I finally saw a small wooden sand boat emerge from the river in the distance, and on the deck stood a slender and tall man, supporting an old woman, and there seemed to be a person standing behind him.

Half an hour later, the boat docked, and the three men on deck stepped out of the boat.

The eldest brother of the Lin family took Lin Zhuyun and the others to salute one after another, and said respectfully: "Mrs. Song and Song Gongzi have come from afar to work hard!" The little nephew is the eldest son of Lin Xu's family, who has met a few times before in Yong'an, and I don't know if my cousin can still remember it. ”

The old woman who got off the boat in a simple but elegant way bowed her head slightly and said, "Remember, the virtuous nephew is the one who has always been in charge of Lin Ji's horse gang. ”

She looked at Lin Zhuyun carefully, and said with a kind smile: "This is the pearl in the palm of my old sister's hand - Lin Zhuyun." ”

Lin Zhuyun lowered his head shyly and replied, "Hello cousin." ”

When this cousin's aunt moved her eyes to Xu Luqing, there were faint tears in her eyes, she pulled Xu Luqing into her arms, stroked Xu Luqing's forehead, choked and said: "Qing'er, I haven't seen you for many years, you have grown so big!" It's no wonder that your aunt couldn't keep you by her side back then, have you been doing well all these years? ”

Xu Luqing's eyes were slightly red, and she quietly did not speak in her arms.

After her parents died one after another, there were no brothers in the family to rely on, and she was not yet ten years old, the Song Mansion and the Xu Mansion were in Yong'an, and the two families had close contacts, and the Song family also wanted to take her to raise her, but the Song family was just a distant cousin of the Xu family, and the blood relationship was really far away, and Xu Luqing's parents entrusted the Lin family on their deathbed, so they couldn't make it.

At this time, the man with a long figure who was supporting Mrs. Song saw that the atmosphere was a little sad, and a pair of slender Danfeng eyes bent, revealing a small tiger tooth and said with a smile: "Mother, didn't you just take the boat and swayed in a daze?" ”

Mrs. Song scolded angrily: "What are you talking nonsense about this monkey grandson? ”

The man was not annoyed, he reached out and grabbed Xu Luqing's sleeve, pulled her away slightly, so that she was facing Mrs. Song, and showed the white little tiger tooth and said, "You can open your eyes and take a closer look!" Sister Danzi is more round and jade than before, and it is more like glutinous rice dumplings than when she was a child! That must be in the Lin Mansion a lot, sleep soundly, if raised in my Song Mansion, I don't believe that I can raise such a rich spirit, look at my thin waist that does not win a hand, you know, weak and invincible, the wind may blow down, so I am also suitable for raising in this Lin Mansion for a few years. ”

After he finished speaking, he nodded to himself, and Mrs. Song habitually slapped him on the back of the shoulder as if she was used to his poor mouth: "You monkey grandson, if you don't stop me when you go out of Yong'an, I won't kill you if you look at the old lady!" ”

He still didn't shut up, and said with a smile while avoiding Mrs. Song's slap: "I'm a monkey grandson, so aren't you the monkey mother?" We're a litter of monkeys! ”

When Mrs. Song heard this, she beat him even harder.

Everyone was stunned by the words and deeds of the two, and when they came back to their senses, they immediately covered their mouths and snickered, and even Xu Luqing gently covered her face with a handkerchief with a rare smile.

Lin Zhuyun saw all this, and his anxious heart relaxed, fortunately, this Yong'an's cousin grew up and looked like a middle-aged person, and a little tiger tooth added a bit of juvenile childishness.

Mrs. Song stopped, returned to her elegant and dignified appearance, and said with a slight smile: "Let your nephews and nieces laugh, this is my unsuccessful son, Song Jinren, he is the only junior in the family, so he is a little stubborn." ”

She pointed to a middle-aged man with a long beard behind Song Jinren and said: "This is my son's master, because Ren'er is going to take the exam next year, and he doesn't dare to delay his homework, so he came to Lingcheng to live and brought his master with him. If you want, you can listen to it together. ”

The eldest brother of the Lin family saluted with both hands and thanked: "Thank you cousin for loving our juniors, you have worked very hard all the way to come from afar, and it is also windy to stand and talk by the river, let's go back to the house quickly, A-Niang has already prepared the side room and banquet in the house." ”

Mrs. Song agreed, and the people brought by the eldest brother of the Lin family immediately loaded all the luggage on the boat into the carriage, and Xu Luqing also took Mrs. Song into the carriage.

This night, under Song Jinren's self-cooking, everyone in the Lin family drank their cheeks red and was very happy.

Lin Zhuyun was also so happy that she drank two glasses, she saw that this cousin was still a good match with Xu Luqing.

She remembered that when Song Jinren was by the river, she called Xu Luqing "Sister Tuanzi", so she leaned into Xu Luqing's ear and asked softly: "Sister Luqing, was your former milk name Tuanzi?" ”

Xu Luqing was slightly stunned, frowned and said: "No, it's all my cousin shouting, when I was a child, my face was round, and the two lumps of meat on my cheeks were like two glutinous rice dumplings, so my cousin called me a little glutinous rice dumpling when he saw me every day." ”

Lin Zhuyun laughed and felt that this title was extremely cute: "I think this name is really cute, presumably at that time, Cousin Song still loved you very much for this glutinous rice dumpling sister." ”

Xu Luqing may have seen someone from Yong'an today, she was very happy, and she drank a glass of wine shallowly, slightly drunk, not as cautious as usual, she muttered: "I don't think he hurts people, when he was a child, he had to pull my face all day long, and he had to pull me when he was red, I hate him!" I hate it now, too! ”

When Lin Zhuyun heard this, he woke up three points drunk, but he didn't expect this cousin to be so stubborn when he was a child, and inadvertently provoked Xu Luqing to keep his anger in his heart, how can this be good.

But she didn't have time to think about it, and the drunkenness made her fall asleep.

Early the next morning, the second brother of the Lin family knocked on the door of Lin Zhuyun's yard: "Little sister, the jade hairpin you asked me to make before is ready." ”

After Lin Zhuyun heard this, he got up from the bed, and hurriedly opened the door to greet the second brother of the Lin family after getting dressed.

The second brother of the Lin family handed a jade hairpin with a simple pattern to Lin Zhuyun, and asked suspiciously, "Why did you think of asking me to carve such a style for you?" This is long gone. ”

Lin Zhuyun didn't speak, pushed the second brother of the Lin family out of the courtyard door, and shouted as he walked into the house: "Xiaotang, bring the white veil clothes for me, I want to go to Moxiang Mansion again." ”

Xiao Tang, who was entering the house with washing water, pouted: "Miss, that Moxianglou is not a place where everyone can go, and that Jiangyu girl takes Qiao like that, why do you have to find yourself unhappy several times?" ”

Lin Zhuyun ignored it, and after putting the jade hairpin away, he said: "She is cold-faced and hot-hearted, at first sight, you will think that she is a wanton woman, and after a long time, you will know that her heart is softer than anyone else." ”

When Xiaotang heard this, Zhanger was confused, scratched his head and asked, "Miss, didn't you just see her?" ”

Lin Zhuyun didn't pay attention for a while, and actually said that she had leaked her mouth, and she hurriedly smiled perfunctorily.

After changing her clothes, she carefully selected a guqin score, and then took the jade hosta, and went to the Jasmine Building with great anticipation.

While walking, he also chatted with Xiaotang: "When I see Sister Yufei for a while, don't be cold-faced, you will know that she is a good person after a long time." ”

Xiaotang nodded reluctantly.

After entering the Jasmine Building, Lin Zhuyun stuffed a bag full of silver coins into the hands of the female manager: "Mother, Sister Jiang Yu is free today?" I've got a new score. ”

The female manager looked embarrassed: "It's not that I want to stop Miss Lin, but Miss Jiang Yu said that if Miss Lin comes again, she will tell you that places like the dark alleys are not where you should come, and if you are a lone woman who often comes here, then sooner or later, the spitting stars all over the city will drown you." She...... I won't see you anymore. ”

Lin Zhuyun stood in the middle of the hall in a daze, and raised his head to look at the Yufei Pavilion with the door closed on the second floor.

Seeing Lin Zhuyun's expression, the mother in charge continued to explain: "Miss Lin, what Miss Jiang Yu said is also reasonable, and she is the leader of our dark alley, and her identity is special, we have to detain her and prevent her from stepping out of Jasmine Building, but we can't hurt her, we can't force her." So I'm afraid you won't be able to see her anymore, so go back. ”

Lin Zhuyun smiled apologetically and said, "Thank you mother, although I can't see you today, you still take the silver, please help me bring this hosta to Sister Jiang Yu, I think she should like it." ”

After that, Lin Zhuyun put the hosta in the hands of the female leader, and the female director quickly squinted at the hosta, thinking that although the jade is in good condition, how can it be a style that has long been unrealistic, and Miss Lin Ji jade carving can only get such a good look?

However, she still smiled and said, "Miss Lin, don't worry, I will definitely bring it!" ”
