It was another night at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and the Lin Mansion on the top of the mountain became more and more lonely and cold.

"Uncle. ”

"Sister Cui'er, what's the matter?" As soon as he returned to Qian Baimo in the courtyard, he saw Cui'er standing timidly by the moon gate.

"Yes, yes, miss. ”

"What's wrong with the lady?"

"This, this, small, young lady only, just. ”

Qian Baimo listened to Cui'er and didn't say anything for a long time, and remembered the events of the past few days, so he said: "Okay, I'll go to see the lady later." ”

"Okay uncle, then I'll go back and tell Miss first," Cui'er finished speaking, like an excited kingfisher turned around and ran away.

Qian Baimo quickly returned to his room and took out a beautiful makeup box from the cabinet, "It seems that the lady is still depressed, so let's give this gift to the lady tonight." While thinking, he changed into a loose homeroom robe, and then walked towards Lin Youlan's courtyard with a makeup case.

"Miss, Uncle is here!" When Qian Baimo was still more than ten meters away from the Moon Gate, Cui'er, who had been waiting here, hurriedly ran back to Lin Youlan's room.

"Cui'er, you stop your husband first. ”

"Got it, miss. At this time, Lin Youlan, who had already made up a lot, was afraid that there were still shortcomings, and when Cui'er went out, she was busy retiring in the mirror, so Qian Baimo waited outside the door for a while, only to see Lin Youlan open the door.

"The slave family is rude, so the husband has been waiting for a long time. ”

"The lady doesn't need to be polite, and the lady's health is not checked in time, which is the fault of the husband. ”

"Okay, uncle. As soon as Cui'er saw the two of them saluting outside the door again, she pushed Qian Baimo into the room from behind, and then closed the door casually.

"This Cui'er is really getting more and more rude, don't blame your husband. ”

The lady was serious. The two sat down separately as they spoke, and then Qian Baimo put the makeup box in his hand on the table and said: "I know that the lady has been depressed recently because of Gong Anmin's affairs, so I specially made some tooth cleansing paste, ctenophora powder, skin powder, etc., as well as some new rouge gouache from "Le Xiangfang", I don't know if the lady likes it." As he spoke, he pushed the makeup case towards Lin Youlan.

Looking at the makeup box that slowly came to the front, Lin Youlan hurriedly endured the excitement in her heart, opened the makeup box with trembling hands, and saw that there were exquisite bottles and boxes neatly placed inside, and there was a letter on it.

Qian Baimo saw Lin Youlan pick up the letter, so he chuckled and said: "I know that the lady likes to be quiet, so I found Mrs. Du of the "Xianlan Literary Society"; Mrs. Du has agreed that the lady will join the literary society, as long as the lady takes this letter of recommendation to the literary society." ”

""Xianlan Literary Society"!" Lin Youlan couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, as the daughter of the richest man in Lingtao City, Lin Youlan naturally understood the meaning of this "Xianlan Literary Society" composed of high-ranking officials and wives in Yufei County, even the daughter of a prefect like Ye Zhaoting was only a quasi-member.

Lin Youlan, who was shocked, couldn't help but ask slightly: "Husband, husband, this." ”

"Huh. Without waiting for Lin Youlan to finish speaking, Qian Baimo chuckled and said, "Mrs. Du's youngest son, Du Youlin, is a good friend to me, and after listening to my request, he asked for this letter of recommendation from his mother. ”

Qian Baimo said it easily, but Lin Youlan was shocked to hear it, Du Youlin's father was Du Cang as the second-grade feudal official of Yufei County, and he was in charge of the mining, trading and transportation of Yufei in the whole county, even Lin Tiannan was difficult to meet, and Qian Baimo was able to become friends with his son Du Youlin in less than three months after arriving in Lingtao City.

In the shock, Lin Youlan felt so truly that she knew so much about the handsome husband in front of her, although it was close at hand, but there was a gap between the two, no matter how she chased and stretched out her hand, she could never reach the person in front of her, and a heartbreaking despair instantly surged in her heart, "No, no, I must be able to, I must be able to grasp it." Under the fear of despair, my whole body trembled violently.

At this time, Qian Baimo, who also found something strange, hurriedly asked with concern: "Lady, what's wrong with you?"

"Hmm. Lin Youlan, who came back to her senses, hurriedly held back her tears and smiled: "Because I received a gift from my husband for the first time, I lost my temper for a while, which made my husband smile." ”

"Oh, when the lady says so, it is the fault of the husband. When Qian Baimo heard this, he didn't care and smiled with sunshine: "Lady, this means that the husband has not given a gift to the lady for so long, so he is angry and healthy." ”

"No. Lin Youlan couldn't help blushing and said goodbye to her body, and her heart couldn't help but feel warm, and most of the original sense of loss disappeared.

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to be improving, Qian Baimo chuckled again: "The lady is in her prime, she shouldn't be trapped in this cage of Jinxiu, since she should see this vast world, know the heart, and show her talents and ambitions, so as to live up to the lady's life." ”

"Thank you husband for your teachings, I should learn from myself in the future to be a heroine. ”

"Huh?" Qian Baimo couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, so he hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "The lady doesn't have to learn to be a woman, the lady has her own tenderness in things, why bother to serve the country strongly, just be careful in your heart and keep your nature." ”

"Husband, what do you mean?" for a while, Lin Youlan was also confused.

"Well. Qian Baimo pondered for a moment, and didn't know how to answer for a while, and was afraid that the depiction would get darker and darker, so he had to smile awkwardly: "The lady will naturally know in the future." It's not too early this day, so I won't disturb the lady's rest. After saying that, he made a gesture and left.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, after Lin Youlan got up, she only felt that most of the original depression in her heart had disappeared.

"Miss, did my uncle give me any honey last night?" Seeing the unconcealable joy on Lin Youlan's face, Cui'er, who was preparing to wash the water temperature, couldn't help but quipped.

"What nonsense. Lin Youlan, whose face was slightly red, picked up the toiletries that Qian Baimo sent yesterday.

"Hey, isn't this the skin powder that my uncle personally blended?"

"Huh, how do you know?"

"That is, my uncle's skin powder is different from other people's when I smell it, and my sister has used it. Speaking of the rise, Cui'er suddenly realized that she had missed her mouth, and was so frightened that she hurriedly took a half step back.

Therefore, Lin Youlan, who was originally happy, suddenly seemed to have a layer of frost on her face, and slowly put the powder box in her hand on the dresser and said, "That is to say, these things have been used by you before?"

Seeing this, Cui'er hurriedly said: "That, it was given to us when my uncle was still a domestic servant, and then, since I became an uncle, I haven't given it away, and miss, you, you must be different from what we used to be, smell it, smell it, and feel that it is much better than giving it to us." ”

"Really?" Lin Youlan heard this, her face improved slightly, and then she took a cotton pen and tapped the fine powder in the box and asked, "By the way, does the husband often play with the maids in the courtyard?"

"This, this. ”

Lin Youlan glanced sideways at Cui'er, who bowed her head and was silent, and then looked back at the powder box casually and said lightly: "In the past, I didn't have a male protagonist in the last three courtyards, and I didn't have some fun every day, but now that I have an uncle, some rules are self-established, and those young people still need to go to the middle courtyard to sharpen their temperament, so you can change some old mothers who are polite and polite." ”

"Yes, Miss. ”......
