Wrong Changhuan

In the 15th year of Jianfeng in Nan'an, Jiangling City, Mid-Autumn Festival.

Although Jiangling City is not the imperial capital, the streets are bustling because of the reunion festival.In addition, several rice shops on the Yunlin started to supply rice for three days from yesterday, so many poor people lined up before dawn.

The crowd whispered to each other from time to time, some people talked about the charity of the Yunlin, and there were endless compliments, and some people were curious about the Lin Fu, the owner behind the Yunlin, and there were many discussions.

"The Lin family is the descendant of General Lin Yun. You can see the magnificent pair of lions at the door."

"The hero of General Lin Yun's first life, the descendants can make the firm so big, it is really blessed by the ancestors."

"The fact that the Lin family business is so big must have a lot to do with Mr. Wushuang."

"I also heard that when Mr. Wu Shuang resigned from his official position, he came to the Lin family to be the shopkeeper."

"I heard that the head of the Lin family is a young lady who has never been married yet, but has an illegitimate daughter."

"It's true. I was lucky enough to meet them before. They are all beauties. It is said that the child belongs to Mr. Wushuang. You said that the two are so well-matched, so why don't you get married? Isn't it strange?!"

"I don't know how much money the Lin family has. Let's just say that they donated rice these few days, but what they donated was all white money."

"If I had so much money, I would stay at home with my mother-in-law in my arms every day, eat delicious food, and not go anywhere."

As soon as the time came, as the steward of the rice shop held a gong, the hammer wrapped in red silk hit the center of the gong with a bang, and the crisp sound sounded, and Shi Mi officially started, and the people in the team stopped talking and looked forward to it. When will it be my turn.

In the east of the city, Lin Mansion, a pair of white jade stone lions half a person tall at the gate silently demonstrate the nobility of this family.

If it was an ordinary businessman, he would definitely not dare to use this stone lion in Nan'an.The etiquette system of Nan'an Kingdom is that only princes and generals who occupy high positions are worthy of using stone lions at the entrance of their mansions.Because of the ancestors of the Lin family, the lion at the gate has not moved, and no one came to question the crime.

As soon as Chen Shi arrived, the maids in the front hall of the Lin Mansion began to busy with the dishes and prepare the meals.

It is always the rule of the Lin Mansion to have breakfast at every hour and every hour.

Lin Changhuan was woken up by the servant girl early in the morning, and after washing up, she sat in front of the vanity mirror and let the servant girl Hongying comb her hair in a bun.

The small round face in the mirror was white and pure only at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and those big eyes were particularly radiant.

Although today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Lin Changhuan's 15th birthday, she deliberately chose a slightly plain lavender dress.It's just because the Lin family never celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival today.

Lin Yu'er, the head of the Lin family, is also Chang Huan's mother. She has never publicly celebrated her birthday, and she has never even said a word of blessing.

Lin Changhuan looked at himself in the mirror and asked, "Do my mother and I look alike?"

The servant girl Hongying smiled and said, "You are born to the eldest lady, so you naturally look alike, and you are both first-class beauties."

Lin Changhuan knew that Hongying was saying this to comfort herself.She knew in her heart that she should look like her father, otherwise, how could her mother not like her, and left her to be raised by her second uncle Lin Xun since she was a child, and never cared about herself.

When she was a child, because of her birthday and her father's questions, she was once bumped into a wall and beaten, but then she stopped asking.And the word daddy is even more taboo in front of her mother, Lin Yuer.

In fact, Lin Changhuan liked to celebrate festivals when she was a child, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is her birthday, so today is very special for her.It's just because of Lin Yu'er, she never said it clearly.

The birthdays of her and second uncle Lin Xun were only one day apart, and most of the time she comforted herself that her birthday was celebrated with her second uncle on August [-]th.

After tidying up, Chang Huan came out of the southwest courtyard where he lived, walked north through the long corridor, bypassed the garden, and went to the front hall.

In the front hall, two young men of about [-] years old, one is gentle and elegant, the other is handsome and hearty, both are dragons and phoenixes, with outstanding temperament, drinking morning tea leisurely.

On the pear wood purple lacquered round table beside it, several Vegetarian dishes have been placed, and the servants are still serving the dishes one after another.

Seeing this, Lin Changhuan smiled deeply at Lin Xun and Yang Yan and said, "Second Uncle, Uncle, good morning."

Yang Yan was not from the Lin family, although he did not make it clear, he was the love of Lin Xun's life, which was considered an open secret in the Lin family.

Since Lin Changhuan was six years old, she was brought up by Lin Xun and Yang Yan together.

Yang Yan deserves to be called uncle.Yang Yan deeply felt the call of uncle.

Lin Xun put down the tea cup in his hand with a smile, glanced at Yang Yan who was satisfied, and said in a low voice, "Old rules, go to your courtyard after dinner to celebrate your birthday, don't let your mother find out." Chang Huan blinked.

"Let me tell you, Xiao Huanhuan, what better gift is there than this one?" Yang Yan said as he threw a bulging purse over.

Chang Huan took it, and without looking at it, he knew that the heavy silver tael was in his arms, and put it in his arms, saying indifferently, "It's still so boring, Lao Yang."

Yang Yan gave a fake cough, pretended to be angry and said, "What do you call me?"

Chang Huan glanced around, saw no one, and said, "Thank you uncle..."

Yang Yan picked up the teacup in satisfaction, and said with a proud face, "It's not too bad."

Not long after, a young man about the age of Ruoguan walked in, wearing a dark blue dress and holding a sword at his waist. It was Chang Huan's uncle Lin Xiao.

That is to say, the effort of the front and rear feet, Lin Yuer, the head of the Lin family, came late.The years have not left traces on her face. She is about 30 years old, graceful and graceful, with a noble temperament, and her demeanor is still the same.She was followed by Wen Wushuang, a former academician of the Hanlin Academy and a world-famous unparalleled son.

When Chang Huan saw Lin Yuer, he stood up immediately, as if he had changed, put away his hippie smile, and behaved very well.

The crowd sat down after Lin Yuer took her seat.

All meals are vegetarian.

After a meal, only Wen Wushuang and Lin Xun were talking, and Yang Yanshi would interject a sentence or two from time to time.

Lin Yu'er murmured, "We're all here, I just need to wait."

This sentence made everyone present stop their voices.

Ah Jie is Chang Huan's third uncle.It's just that in Chang Huan's memory, she has been away from home for five years. In my impression, my third uncle likes to dance knives and guns the most, and taught her kung fu when she was a child.

As for why he left home later, Chang Huan didn't know.It's just that Lin Xun once told her that the third uncle went to the rivers and lakes to live the life he wanted, and she firmly believed it.

After dinner, the three brothers and sisters of the Lin family went to the ancestral hall located on the east side of the front hall to worship their ancestors. This is the custom of the Lin family during festivals.Wen Wushuang, Yang Yan, and Chang Huan were left drinking tea in the front hall.

The ancestral hall is a forbidden area of ​​the Lin family, and even Chang Huan is not allowed to enter it at will.

When the three of Lin Yu'er came back, Lin Xun found an excuse and took Chang Huan out of the house together.It was her birthday today, she was supposed to play around freely.

Anpingtang is a pharmacy managed by Yang Yan and Lin Xun together.Chang Huan only knew that Yang Yan had excellent medical skills, but he was too lazy to do anything that was not interesting or challenging.So on weekdays, Yang Yan's young apprentices sit in the clinic.

Going west from the Lin Mansion in the east of the city to the Anping Hall in the city, they crossed half of the main street.

At this time, many vendors came out early to set up stalls, especially the stalls with flowers, food and accessories.

In the backyard of Anping Hall, an osmanthus tree is in full bloom, and the fiery red flowers are full of fragrance.

Beside the tree is a set of bamboo tables and stools, and on the table is a set of fine celadon tea sets.Lin Xunan sat in it, watching Yang Yan leisurely making tea beside him.

Behind the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, there are large areas of flowers and herbs, and Chang Huan and Yang Yan usually take care of them.Yang Yan doesn't care about flowers, but those precious herbs are the treasures in his heart.

Chang Huan squatted in the garden to water and enjoy it for a while, then stared at Lin Xun and Yang Yan in a daze.

They looked at each other with warm eyes, bathed in the quiet sunshine, like a picture scroll, which made Chang Huan envious.

"There is tea, the only thing missing is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake—" Yang Yan raised his voice, but turned his head to Chang Huan and said deliberately.

Lin Changhuan interrupted his fantasy, rolled his eyes helplessly, and said in his heart, obviously there is a young apprentice, but I have to do the errands.Although he was reluctant in his heart, he still got up and went to the table to drink up his own cup of tea, and said angrily, "Wait."

Chang Huan walked out the door, Yang Yan almost roared and added, "Remember to make another pot of sweet-scented osmanthus rice."

In fact, not only Yang Yan loves osmanthus cake, but Lin Changhuan also loves it. This is their common hobby.

Among the pastry shops less than [-] meters to the west of the pharmacy, there is a bakery specializing in sweet-scented osmanthus muffins, which are top-notch.Chang Huan is a frequent visitor there, and there are many people who come here to buy pastries on weekdays, and even more so today.

As soon as Chang Huan squeezed out the door, carefully guarding the bag of pastries, he saw Li Shaoheng, a dude from the Li family in the city's garrison, blocking the way of a white-clothed woman at the door.

White clothes and red cloak, green jade hairpin, simple yet charming, at first glance she is only eighteen or nineteen years old.Slightly slender figure, without the slightest fragility of a little woman, but with a cool demeanor with heroic eyebrows and eyes.

It's like putting the two most unlikely extremes together, yet blending perfectly.

Not too much modification.Why do you need to dress up too much.

Heroic and feminine, this is the only description that Chang Huan can think of.

Just this one glance took root in my heart.

Chang Huan said, this woman seems to have been seen somewhere, this feeling is very familiar.

"The little lady was born so beautiful, how about going home with me and enjoying the blessings?" Li Shaoheng said flatteringly and wanted to touch the woman's hand in white.

The woman was expressionless, she retreated sideways, and then blocked her back, and more and more people were watching.

Li Shaoheng followed and moved closer to the woman in white, with a hippie smile on his face as if he was going to laugh, "Stubborn...hahaha...Stubborn, I like you like this..." As he spoke, he moved forward again .

Chang Huan couldn't stand it, didn't think much about it, stepped forward and kicked Li Shaoheng's restless paw away, and said with righteous indignation, "I said Li Shaoheng, your father taught you to do such frivolous things in broad daylight. ah."

An Cuo watched this scene with cold eyes, she didn't need others to come forward.It's just that when she saw Lin Changhuan clearly, her heart ached for no reason.

An Cuo didn't have time to think about it, and walked eastward without saying a word.

Li Shaoheng scolded angrily, "Damn girl, you are the one who spoiled me again...give it to me." As he said that, he wanted to follow to parry Chang Huan, and he pursued the beauty in white with all his heart.

In dealing with these ordinary people, Chang Huan was still very sure, and within two or three blows, he knocked down the two servants.Then even followed up.

Chang Huan quickly ran two steps to block Li Shaoheng's way, and saw her holding the sweet-scented osmanthus sponge cake in one hand, and blocking Li Shaoheng's arms with the other hand, mockingly said, "What can I say about you? The walls of Jiangling City are still thick."

Li Shaoheng was out of breath, and was about to hit Chang Huan with his fist, only to see two stones shot quickly from the opposite side, one hit Li Shaoheng's left arm, the other hit his right knee, and he fell to the ground with an ouch, howling like a wolf. endlessly.

Chang Huan glanced at it with a contemptuous smile, then raised his eyes, and the woman in white had long since disappeared from the crowd.
