"Zhou Li" said: In the month of mid-spring, men and women will be ordered, so the time is also, those who run cannot help it, if there is no reason not to use the order, punish it. A man and a woman who have no husband. The Ling family really didn't expect that as soon as they opened the door early in the morning, they welcomed in three or five people from the government in robes and robes, and recited this passage aloud.

The house's mother, Ye, accompanied the smiling face, and nodded from time to time to listen to the training. The one at the head was wearing a blue round-necked narrow-sleeved robe, and he was about to be a petty official from the ninth grade, and he saw that the attitude of the family was not bad, so he was too lazy to teach him a lesson.

"In this dynasty, men are married at twenty and fifteen, and there is still a daughter in your family, what's going on?" The specialist held the household registration book in one hand, and said to Ye in a businesslike tone.

Ye lowered his eyebrows, was silent for a long time, and the first thing he said was to plead: "My lord, the little girl is going to get married after the Shangyuan Festival this year, you can give some time!" ”

The official held the pen and glanced up, although the Ye family could not be called a country and a city, and his appearance was exquisite, but he was still beautiful, with a melon seed face, a lion nose, a slightly hooked nose, and a square lips, he deduced in his heart that if the male owner of the Ling family was not too bad, his daughter should not be able to get married.

"You have to hurry up, as soon as the sting is over, the upper authorities will officially send someone down to count the household registration, your family can't make it difficult for my family!" The shorter man standing next to him said with a straight face, and the Ye family could only quickly get up and apologize again: "The servant woman must follow the teachings of the adults!" ”

"Hmm!" The cyan official finally replied, looking indifferent, "If there is news, report it to the media as soon as possible!" ”

Before Ye could answer, the official said again: "Go!" Go to the next one! "Several people are already busy with their feet not touching the ground, this festive reunion, but also to follow this errand, the heart is a little unhappy, naturally the sooner the better.

Ye saw that they were leaving, and hurriedly asked Chunzhi to send it, and did not forget to let Chunzhi bring a plate of silver melon seeds, but he sat down on the chair and sighed: "What kind of sin have I made, when I was thirteen years old, I told her father that I promised someone to go for her, but her father didn't like it, and then at the age of fourteen, Hou Xiucai's family in the west of the city personally asked her son to come to the door to propose, and her grandmother was not happy, but now I only need to be a mother to deal with this!" ”

According to the law, if the Ling family doesn't marry off their daughter, next year's poll tax will be calculated at five!

The Ye family was distressed by the four times more money, and secondly, they were really worried that Ling An would become the old girl on Liulin Street.

Ling An is her biological daughter, because there are no daughters in the three generations of Ling Mansion, and all of them are men, so they are particularly spoiled, this is not to say that she is spoiled, and the people next to her are all raised in general with other brothers, but when it comes to her out of the cabinet, everyone is reluctant to do a thousand or ten thousand, and in a blink of an eye, Ling An has reached the year of breaking melons this year, if she is not married, the court will enter her into the register, and the government will marry her!

Mrs. Wang, who was standing on the side, understood Ye's mind best, and took a step forward: "Madame don't have to worry too much, Miss is proficient in the six arts, and she is beautiful and well-behaved, just let a few matchmakers speak, and then the threshold of the Ling Mansion will definitely be broken!" ”

Although what she said was somewhat to make the Ye family feel relieved, it was not false, Ling An was indeed such a woman.

The Ye family nodded lightly at the princess, her heart was happy but she couldn't laugh for a while, and said, "Where is An'er now, you go and find her for me!" Chunzhi happened to come in at this time, and when she heard Ye's inquiry, she replied: "Yesterday, I heard that Miss said that she was going to visit Mrs. Tai, but I don't know if I have gone now?" ”

A little more helpless, after thinking about it, he raised his hand slightly, and motioned to Mrs. Wang to help her up, "It's okay!" I'll go to the Wind Pavilion to find her myself! ”

The provincial princess went to Ling An's room, but she was not found, and asked Ye Shibai to wait.

The Ling family is a wealthy family in the area of Liulin Lane, and the front hall of this guest was originally the old ancestral hall of the Ling family.

Ye Shi got up and turned back to walk through the Jiuqu corridor, but he remembered the novice stove that he was going to send to Ling An before, so he turned west and went back to the Mingse Building where he lived, and went back to the room to find a warm incense hand stove.

When I passed by the Green Pavilion and the West Building, I saw the second lady and the third lady together.

"Sister-in-law!" The two greeted Ye Shi together, Ye Shi smiled back, and said, "Have you had breakfast?" ”

"I'm going to use it in the third sibling's room!" The second lady Hai took Lin's hand, her face was full of spring, and she went into the west building. Ye said goodbye to the two of them in a hurry, and hurried to the Wind Pavilion.

The old lady of the Ling family only gave birth to three sons, the eldest son is Ling An's father Ling Dingyuan, the second son is the second uncle Dingping, and the younger uncle is Dingming. The relationship between the three brothers has been good since childhood, and the younger brothers have a lot of respect for Dingyuan, the eldest brother, so the Ling family does not plan to split up for the time being, and the family's house will not lose popularity.

In the backyard of the front house, by the mountains and rivers, Ye walked forward for a short time, and when he reached the leaky window, he could see a few pomegranates and roses next to the small patio outside the house from the pane, and then turned left and walked up to 20 steps, you can see the green pool in the center of the house, there is a wave pavilion in the center of the green pool, and the main house is connected by a small bridge paved with soft stones, and the Ye's ring green pond walks more than half a circle, so that you can see the Yifeng Pavilion where Ling An lives.

Ling An loves poetry, at the beginning Ling Dingyuan invited Mr. Shu, a famous stone master in Hangzhou, to come to the house, to add scenery to the pond at home, when the scenery was completed, Ling An stood in the north of the pond and watched the bubbling water between the mountains and rocks like a mountain stream breaking through the belly of the mountain, and he must live in the north of the pool.

That year, she was still a young man, and Ye was afraid that she would not dare to live alone, so she persuaded her for most of the day, Ling An was stubborn and refused, and asked for Ling Dingyuan's love, and finally moved to "Little Taoyuan", Yifeng Pavilion was the name that Ling An took later, she said that "Spring is lazy and sleepy and leans on the breeze", which is the most comfortable time for Xiaotaoyuan.

Ye didn't understand this, but Ling Dingyuan and Mrs. Tai praised this daughter again and again for having "Yongxu talent", she was happy to hear it at the time, but now she feels that it is because Ling An has lived in this remote and clean place in the north of the pond for a long time, and refuses to go out to meet guests, so she has been sitting in the boudoir for a long time, and she immediately lost her good impression of this "Yifeng Pavilion", "In a few days, I will discuss with her father, I still have to let An'er move to Quxi Building, I will give her the opportunity to see her relatives more!" Ye said to Mrs. Wang.

"Yes, ma'am, you are thoughtful!" Mrs. Wang nodded.

"You see, living so far away, we have been walking for so long now, and we finally got there!" Ye was so anxious that a trace of sweat oozed from his head, for fear that he would not be able to catch up and let Ling An slip away from the back door.

When approaching the Wind Pavilion, the whole body feels different, the path sandwiched between the lush trees and the green pond on the side, and occasionally a few rays of light are projected into it, faintly making people have a sense of winding paths, like the residence of a hermit.

Ye quickly led the maid through, and happened to meet Ling An who came out with a rain bamboo. "An'er~" Ye didn't have time to take a breath, and shouted Ling An with a sullen face.
