Lin Yan lay lazily on the warm couch, with half-wet hair hanging over his shoulders.Situ Lan was only wearing a thin tunic, sitting beside him, wrapped a cloth towel in her hand and wiped Lin Yan's hair carefully.

The smoked cage was already burning hot. I don’t know if it’s a blessing or auspiciousness, so I put two braziers in the corner, and the whole house feels warm.

Lin Yan groaned contentedly, and moved his body slightly to make himself more comfortable.

Situ Lan's hands froze, his eyes darkened, he put the cloth towel on the table, and then tilted it down, lying side by side with Lin Yan, rubbing his waist gently with his right hand.

Lin Yan turned his head to meet Situ Lan's face, the tip of their noses met, and they smelled each other.Situ Lan rubbed Lin Yan's waist and smiled softly, "Are you still sore?"

Glaring at him angrily, Lin Yan buried his face in the apricot-colored satin pillow again, but the ears protruding from the black silk were red.

Situ Lan became more and more excited when he saw it, leaned over and pecked the red ear lightly, and said ambiguously: "I got a new good thing, it's not an ordinary fragrance, it's very light..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yan had already pushed him out, almost falling down.

Lin Yan raised his phoenix eyes slightly, and suddenly frowned and asked, "Speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet, but now the emperor puts several princes in the academy, is this a good precaution?" Academy, isn't it a big target?If so, why not take Lin Ruo back.

"You are too careful. Brother Huang, can you not think of this?" Situ Lan's big hand was very dishonest, and Lin Yan patted it down and then relentlessly climbed to his waist, "Not to mention that not far away is Gyeonggi It takes less than an hour to go back and forth to the big camp. There are also many guards in the dark, do you think it is the same as I was back then?"

Lin Yan turned around to face him, looked Situ Lan up, down, left, and right, and smiled lightly, "Yes, he is indeed not very pleasing."

Situ Lan held him back and gritted her teeth and smiled, "Angry at me? Huh? I see your energy is better!"

After finishing speaking, he pressed on him recklessly, Lin Yan smiled and hid for a few times, hooked his neck, and murmured face to face: "It's really not likable, but I like it just because I was born." ..."

The voice weakened, and the two lingered for a while before parting panting.

Early the next morning, Situ Lan hurried back to the city, but Lin Yan stayed there for three full days.

Days passed by quickly, and after the Chinese New Year, it was the time every three years for officials to return to Beijing to report on their duties.

In fact, not all foreign officials need to return to Beijing. Only foreign officials of the third rank or above report directly to the emperor, and other foreign officials have their own assessment by the Ministry of Officials.

In early February, Zhen Yingjia, the patriarch of the Jinling Zhen family and now the president of Jinling Tiren Institute, came to Beijing with his family.The Zhen and Jia families have been on good terms for several generations, and although Zhen Yingjia himself is not allowed to visit old friends in Beijing and China, his wife and daughter are indeed allowed.

After receiving the invitation from Zhen's family, Mrs. Wang didn't dare to be self-reliant, and hurried to Jiamu's place.At that time, Mrs. Xing, Li Wan and others were all at Jiamu's place, and Sister Feng, who had held her belly for four or five months, also sat down.Among the girls, only Tanchun Xichun is there, Yingchun's wedding is approaching, and she is still embroidering her dowry.

Hearing that the Zhen family first sent their mother-in-law to deliver the post, Jia's mother beamed with joy and hurriedly asked Mrs. Wang to invite her in.Then he said to Sister Li Wanfeng: "You are still young, I don't know, our mansion and Zhen's family were very good when they were in Jinling. After all, although the ancestors of the Zhen family are not like our family's family of two countries, other Xuanhe is still above our family."

Sister Feng is pregnant, but she still wears a bright red brocade brocade beige sprinkled with gold and dark flowers, but it is made a little looser, with a light green brocade skirt underneath.On the head, the sunburst bun is pulled high, and the big phoenix hairpin is inserted obliquely, still shining brightly, capable and shrewd.Hearing Jiamu's words, he hurriedly laughed and said, "I know this. I heard from my grandfather when I didn't leave the cabinet before that the Zhen family was really different. Don't say anything else, just pick up the driver, and pick up four This time, count the big family members of this dynasty one by one, no matter which family they are, they are not as decent as theirs."

"That's right. Our family also took over once, but it happened earlier when we supervised the construction of sea-ponds in Gusu. Your Wang family also took over once."

Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng thought of the glory of their ancestors from afar, and they all had color on their faces, and their cheeks were filled with joy.

Tanchun was holding a hand stove in his arms, his fingers painted with pink cardamom were delicate and white, he was gently stroking the tangled lotus flower in the hand of the hand stove, listening to it in a trance.She has a clear mind, she is shrewd and meticulous, and she does not let Sister Feng go, but she has studied a lot more than Sister Feng, and often secretly hates that she can't go out to make meritorious deeds like that man.At this time, I heard that my ancestors had the experience of receiving a holy car, so I couldn't help but feel flustered.At the beginning, the eldest sister Yuan Chun was just a noble concubine, and she was so dignified when she went home to visit her relatives, so what should she do if she is a holy car?

Thinking in this way, he was suddenly touched by Xichun who was at the side, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that Zhou Rui's family was leading four women over.The four of them were also dressed in silk, with gold belts and silver on their heads. They were very respectable. After they came in, they greeted them one by one, and Jia Mu smiled and asked them to sit down. Gong Zhaohe and others.The four wives replied with a smile and said: "Our wife brought the girl and brother here, and we will enter the palace tomorrow to pay my respects. The wife said that after the greetings are over, we must come to see the old lady Yes. I also know that the second girl in the house is about to be overjoyed, and I have said that I will go back after a happy day."

Jia Mu became more and more happy, and kept talking for a long time before ordering someone to send it out.Mrs. Wang understood and asked Zhou Rui's family to take the best reward letter and go to reward others.

When I went back to Jiamu's place, everyone dispersed.Jia Mu was leaning on the kang with her eyes closed, when she heard footsteps, she opened her eyes and took a look, then pointed to the chair at the bottom and asked Mrs. Wang to sit down.

Mrs. Wang looks a little thinner now, before Jia Amnesty went on to drink and made a big fuss, no one in the whole Errongguo Mansion knew that the second wife had no dowry for her daughter to marry her in the big house.Although this remark was severely suppressed by Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang lost face greatly, and her prestige in the mansion also dropped a lot.

But Mrs. Jia Shexing was very happy. At any rate, she picked out a lot of good things from the public treasury and Jia's mother, which was enough to add makeup to Yingchun.

Mrs. Wang once went to the palace to cry with Yunchun, but was persuaded by Yunchun: "Mother is confused, now the emperor comes to Fengzao Palace from time to time, just when he is looking for his daughter, but why is she still not in the palace?" Dare to be as rampant as the Queen Concubine Shu? In terms of family background, the daughter is no worse than them, but think about it carefully, apart from the two empty titles in our family, what else can the daughter rely on? What did I tell my mother before? The Lin family also It doesn't matter if it's another family, anyone who can have a relationship with us, my mother has to win over. The second sister married into the Dong'an County Prince's Mansion, and she didn't have a separate family. She will be our family's in-laws in the future. Doesn't the daughter have more help? Even if the uncle didn’t mention it, my mother should have thought of this, how could she get into a fight over those yellow and white things? Mother, please stop talking, and just have to think about how to get it back.”

Mrs. Wang was awakened by Yuan Chun's words, regardless of the bitterness in her heart, she bought a lot of good things and sent them to Da Fang.Since then, Mrs. Xing has become more and more complacent.

It's just that the loss of some things in vain is still secondary, and it is Baoyu who bothers Mrs. Wang. Now this child hangs around in the garden all day long. It's a matter of marriage, so that he can take care of him, but first, if there is Yuan Chun's words, Mrs. Wang will not like it. Second, she looks at a good girl coldly, and others may not like Baoyu. .It's not for anything else, just grabbing the box of rouge for him, and she doesn't want to ration her daughter to him.

Therefore, Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu have been choosing for these two months, but they have not chosen a suitable one.As for Xue's house, Mrs. Wang heard her mother-in-law whispering in a trance, saying that Miss Bao was going to enter some palace, secretly asked someone to check it out, and couldn't help but secretly hated her sister--it was agreed a few years ago. How can you change your mind about things like this?

She didn't dare to tell Mother Jia about this matter, so she asked Aunt Xue about it twice, but Aunt Xue didn't show any shame. For a while, Madam Wang couldn't decide whether it was true or not.Looking at Baochai again, she still lives in the garden, and there is no way to avoid her relationship with Baoyu. Mrs. Wang is relieved again - if it is true, how dare Baochai do this?

The second day to welcome the spring out of the pavilion was set on February [-]th. According to the rules, the day before was the day when the woman put on her makeup. Because Daiyu was pregnant, she couldn't go there in person, so she sent the housekeeper and wife of the Hou's mansion away. Mammy sent something together, which were two excellent sets of clothes, plus a few antique decorations.

This day, the Rong Mansion was also very lively. Apart from the old friends who were already in Beijing, because of the marriage with the county prince's mansion, there was also a family member with a low official rank to curry favor and give gifts. , Yingchun, a concubine who is not known on weekdays, is really very respectable.

Mrs. Zhen personally brought her youngest daughter to add makeup. Because Jia's mother saw that Zhen Yao, the fourth girl of the Zhen family, was about the same age as Tan Chun, she had willow eyebrows and almond eyes, her skin was as white as snow, and her black hair was full of dark hair. It has become a fairy bun, with emerald golden hairpins inserted horizontally on the top, and emerald pendants hanging lightly around the ears. It has a good appearance, a little more colorful than the Sanchun sisters, and it is Baochai, according to Jia Mu. Among the girls in the boudoir, the ones who are outstanding in appearance, compared with Miss Zhen Si, even though they are not inferior in appearance, they are not as good in bearing.

Mother Jia was so in love with her that she just sat beside her and asked carefully how old she was this year, what she liked in the past, what she did for pastimes, etc. She put aside all the girls from Baochai Xiangyun's relatives who usually came to congratulate her. .

When Zhen Yao was in Jinling, she often went out with her mother. She had a good appearance, and the Zhen family was a first-class family in Jinling, so many people flattered her.She has always been conceited, now that she sees that the girls in the room are all extraordinary, she naturally refuses to be inferior, every frown, smile, every word and every move, they are all full of demeanor, and they are born to overwhelm all the girls.

Jia's mother saw it in her eyes and remembered it in her heart, and it took a long time to move - the Zhen family is still famous today, not inferior to her own.What's more, Zhen Yao's father, Zhen Yingjia, has been in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time. Moreover, Zhen Yao's age is similar to Baoyu's, and he is such a person, so he is also suitable for Baoyu.Thinking of this, she became more and more loving towards Zhen Yao.Mrs. Wang is worthy of fighting for Jia Mu for many years, she naturally understands Jia Mu's thoughts, and she is more polite to Mrs. Zhen.

However, although this plan is good, I forgot whether the Zhen family is willing to—
