Night.

The lights are on, the moon rises tomorrow, the insects chirp everywhere, and the breeze comes.

On the bench outside the corridor, the four of them are lazily lying or sitting, enjoying the coolness outside the house in late spring and early summer.

Hua Xie Yu embroidered a handkerchief, summer is coming, the one in Xianggong's hand is too old, it should be replaced with a new one, but she doesn't want him to use someone else's made, so these days she picked up the needle and thread again, and embroidered a new one for him one by one.

The pattern on the handkerchief is also brand new, a boy in white shook off the folding fan, and smiled, which is exactly what Lin Xiuran has been wearing recently. Since it is embroidered for him, it must be unique, she does not want to use those "mandarin ducks playing in the water", "Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum", only embroider belongs to him.

Luo Xin'er was holding a book, talking and laughing with Taogen.

Recently, she is not interested in the novels of talented and beautiful women, nor is she interested in poetry and opera, but likes to study recipes.

In a few days, she will go to Yanyu City, there is a long waterway to walk, the Mingluo River waterway is crisscrossed, the aquatic products are abundant, she is pinching the recipe, studying all kinds of fish practices. The little girl Momogen was chattering on the side to give her opinion.

"Miss, let's make fish floss, you see, the method is very simple, remove the meat after the fish is steamed, put it in the oil pan and fry it, and add some green onions, ginger, and salt. And it can be put for a long time, and I am not afraid to do more. ”

"No, no, no, this will lose the freshness of the fish, and we will find other ways. ”

"Oooh. ”

The two of them stumbled through the recipes again, enjoying themselves.

Lin Xiuran pillowed on Hua Jieyu's lap, sniffing the girl's unique body fragrance, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

"Hmmm......"

Lin Xiuran slept in a daze, unintentionally turned over, his body became lying on his side, and all of a sudden, the hot air he breathed and sprayed got into the thin gauze skirt in Hua Jieyu's legs, and Hua Jieyu, who was embroidered with a handkerchief, suddenly "Ah-" sounded, and trembled peacefully, and the hand holding the embroidery needle also trembled, almost pricking himself.

"Xianggong ......"

Hua Jieyu was already blushing, and when the heat penetrated into the gauze skirt, her mind was blank for a moment, as if she had lost her soul.

Although she has also seen and learned some "Spring and Palace Pictures" under the guidance of her wife, she has never had a real skin-to-skin relationship with Lin Xiuran, and her face is very thin.

Luo Xin'er and Taogen were called by Hua Jieyu, and they also set their eyes on Lin Xiuran and Hua Jieyu.

Lin Xiuran woke up in a daze, sat up and rubbed his sleepy eyes, and saw Hua Jieyu with a blushing face and Luo Xin'er with an angry and angry face, but he didn't know what was going on.

A bewildered face.

"Xianggong, you are bullying Sister Hua again. Luo Xin'er was upset for Hua Jieyu.

“...... What did I do?" Lin Xiuran felt wronged.

"Hmph, you know it yourself. ”

"Sister Luo, don't blame Xianggong, it's me who is not good. Hua Jieyu came out to help Lin Xiuran out of the siege, "Besides, if Xianggong really wants to do anything to me, it's nothing, it's all ...... It's all husband and wife. ”

But—

"Ahh

Hua Jieyu suddenly thought of something, and he lost his sense of proportion in his words.

She screamed, covered her mouth, and didn't dare to say any more.

One is wrong, the husband has a loss in "humane matters", and he shouldn't say anything about husband and wife; second, Luo Xin'er is a wife, and she, a concubine, shouldn't intervene when she teaches her husband a lesson, it's too presumptuous to do so.

Luo Xin'er and Hua Xie Yu have been together for half a year, and they have already understood the temperament of this little girl, seeing her panicked look, like a frightened little beast, she knew that she was thinking too much, so she had to keep silent, leave her alone, and after digging Lin Xiuran's glance, she and the little maid Taogen buried themselves in the recipe, and continued to seek the way of "a hundred ways to do fish and meat".

Lin Xiuran looked helpless, turned his head, and saw that Hua Xie Yu looked pitiful, so he could only admit that he was unlucky.

He picked up the last piece of peach blossom soft fragrant cake in the white porcelain plate on the bench, stuffed it into Hua Jieyu's mouth, and said, "You will cause trouble for me, I should be punished, come, open your mouth." ”

Hua Jieyu looked at the peach blossom soft fragrant cake handed over by Lin Xiuran, white and glutinous, sweet and fragrant, she glanced at Lin Xiuran embarrassedly, and then cautiously glanced at Luo Xin'er and Peach Root, who were immersed in studying the recipe, and finally opened her mouth lightly, bit her silver teeth lightly, pulled a small piece, and put it in her mouth and bit it slowly.

Hua Jieyu took a bite, and there was still most of the piece left, but Lin Xiuran didn't want to give her any more to eat, so he took it himself, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it in a big gulp, and enjoyed eating it very much.

"Xianggong, that's the ...... I bitten," Hua Xie whispered, afraid of being heard by Luo Xin'er.

"It's okay, I don't mind. ”

Lin Xiuran was a bit of a scoundrel.

"Hmph-"

Hua Jieyu also had a rare temper, don't turn around to embroider the novice handkerchief, and don't pay attention to Lin Xiuran, the person who can only tease her.

Lin Xiuran looked at the warbler on the left and the Yanyan on the right, and then looked up at the semi-circular moon in the sky, which was as clear as jade, and was stunned.

"When you complete the Mirror of Unification, how should you treat these two lovely women?"

......

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and the day when the Lin family in Ningtang set off for Yanyu City had also arrived.

This operation can be described as a grand scale.

The elites of the Lin Mansion came out together, poured their nests, and went to Yanyu City to participate in the family competition and compete for the position of the seven great families.

In this battle, Lin Weiyuan is determined to succeed, only succeed, not fail, so he attaches great importance to it.

The flying tiger banner with the word "forest" stood in front of a team of people and horses, hunting and fluttering in the wind, after a horn sounded, Lin Weiyuan, who had white hair, instigated his chasing horse, chasing the wind horse was in pain, and after neighing in the sky, he took a majestic step forward.

The team finally set off.

In this trip, we have to take the land route first, arrive at the wharf ferry, and then change the waterway through the Mingluo River, and finally arrive at Yanyu Lake Yanyu City, and discuss the superiority with the families and famous factions from the Wu Dynasty.

Lin Xiuran sat in the carriage with Hua Jieyu and Luo Xin'er, while Taogen sat outside the carriage with the gray-clothed horseman and drove the horse with him.

In the past six months, Lin Xiuran's hysteria has been cured, and he is no different from others. This time, the grand competition between the family and the golden scale test was unprecedented, and Lin Weiyuan naturally wanted him to come out and walk around more and see the world.

As for Luo Xin'er and Hua Jieyu, they shouldn't have gone together, but at Lin Xiuran's insistence, Lin Weiyuan finally agreed and let his only son be the master.

It's just that, for safety reasons, Lin Weiyuan stipulated that they were not allowed to walk around without permission on the way.

Lin Xiuran knew Lin Weiyuan's temper and knew that this was the bottom line of his cheap father, so he naturally didn't refute it and agreed.

After two days of travel, the convoy arrived at the pier ferry.

Because it has been prepared for a long time, at this moment, there is already a big ship waiting here for a long time.

The big ship also hung a flying tiger flag with the word "forest" written on it, and at a glance you knew that this was the ship of Ningtang Lin Mansion.

A swarthy thin middle-aged man got off the boat, and after respectfully seeing Lin Weiyuan and the major elders, he instructed the people under the boat to carry things onto the ship.

Everyone was immediately busy.

It wasn't until noon that day that the big ship finally set sail.

The Mingluo River is extremely vast, sometimes there are shocking waves, occasionally ships capsize and sink, and there are also green forest heroes set up cards along the river, extort money, and slaughter people's lives.

But after a few days, the boat was calm and quiet.

It's probably the big word "forest" that suppressed those calamities.

In the evening, the tired birds return to their nests, the sunset sinks in the west, the breeze blows on the river, and the last ray of sunshine swells in the river like broken gold, and sinks to the bottom of the river with the sunset.

The big ship docked in a small town near the river for a temporary rest.
