Ruhai his sister

On the second of February, the dragon raised its head; on the third of March, Xuanyuan was born.

March [-]rd, also known as the Shangsi Festival, has always been a custom in Central Plains for spring outings, or banquets to enjoy flowers.

In the early years of the first emperor's accession to the throne, foreigners invaded the frontiers. General Li used himself as a bait to lure the enemy back to retreat. He defeated the enemy in one fell swoop, but was seriously injured and died.The first emperor was grateful for General Li's loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, sympathized with General Li's only daughter who lost her father when she was young, and specially named her the princess protecting the country.Later, he married Zheng Guogong.The two have respected each other as guests for decades, and they have three sons and a daughter.The eldest daughter is matched with Prince Yizhong, the eldest son of the current Shengshang, as the first princess.

Therefore, when it comes to the nobles in the capital, apart from the royal family, they undoubtedly belong to Zheng Guogong's family.For the spring banquet on March [-]rd, as soon as Zheng Guogong's post was published, there was a lot of response.

It's just a coincidence that this day is the day when Jia Min returns home.

Two identical eight-treasure colored glazed and blue-curtained canopy carriages drove out from the Lin Mansion, one took Lin Ruhai and Jia Min to Rongning Street, and the other took Lin Huan to Zhuque Street.

Zheng Guogong's Mansion is located to the north of Zhuque Street, and there is already a lot of traffic in front of the mansion.A clever young man came up to salute, and directed the coachman to park the carriages of each prefecture in order.

Lin Huan helped Qing Qiong's hands get off the sedan chair, and a girl came up to lead her into the mansion.Lin Huan turned around and told Lin Song a few words, then took Qing Qiong to follow the girl.

Enter from the main entrance, pass the hanging flower gate, pass through the hand corridor, turn around the big pink screen wall, and then arrive at the flower hall. In the hall, the wives and girls from various prefectures are sitting around, and they don't know what to say, and they are laughing happily.The old princess who used to protect the country, now Mrs. Zheng, saw Lin Huan, and pulled her over with a smile in her eyes: "This is the girl from Lord Lin's family! Look, what a beautiful person! Zhenghe Your aunt was talking about you! Here you are!"

Lin Huan pursed his lips and smiled, Fushen bowed to Mrs. Zheng: "Old lady, please wait, I am late. Make an apology to the old lady."

Mrs. Zheng hurriedly helped her up: "You child, I'm just saying something in vain, how can I call you like this? Back then, your mother and I were often in contact, but, unexpectedly, she..." Said Napa The child pressed the corners of his eyes, and squeezed out a few tears that he didn't know whether they were real or not.

Seeing this scene, everyone comforted him again and again, and Lin Huan also cried for a while, and then rested.After leaving Mrs. Zheng, Lin Huan sighed, turned his head and saluted Gu with a smile, and then sat down with Zhang Han who was beside him.

Zhang Han just said with a stern face: "I've been thinking about you all day when I've been in Beijing. But my mother won't let me go out. You're good, but you don't know to come and see me!"

When Zhang's family and Lin's family were in Beijing, the two families were in frequent contact. Lin Huan and Zhang Han were about the same age, and Zhang Han had a straightforward and lively personality, so the two got along very well.Afterwards, Zhang Han's father got released and left the capital. Not long after, something happened to the Lin family.

Although the two hadn't seen each other for several years, they often exchanged letters, and they were never estranged in terms of affection.So seeing Zhang Han like this today, Lin Huan was not afraid or annoyed, and leaned forward with a smile: "I don't want to come to you! As long as you know, my brother got married, and there are a lot of things. I only hate that I don't have superpowers. Going around in a hurry."

Zhang Han just turned around and ignored her.Lin Huan begged for mercy several times in a soft voice, and stretched out his hand to caress Zhang Han's itch. Zhang Han couldn't bear it, and after all, they were in front of people, so the two of them didn't want to make too much noise, so they had to let it go.Pulling Lin Huan up and down to look him up and down several times, he said with concern: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but I miss you so much!"

Lin Huan sneered: "I know!"

Zhang Han looked at the wives who were gossiping on one side, and then at the girls enjoying flowers and playing on the other side. Seeing that no one was paying attention to this place, he pulled Lin Huan and said, "Mother told me to ask you, look at you." Cousin-in-law is okay. If it's not bad, then don't keep this housework in your hands. It's a good thing that the housekeeper is gone. Just don't make trouble with cousin-in-law because of it. You still have to rely on her.

If the girl's family is not educated, I'm afraid that in the future... in the future... it will be hard to say about marriage.Mother intended to pick you up.Only when my father was in office, you were also in Xiaoli at that time, so it was very inconvenient.Now, although we have returned to Beijing, our grandmother is still at home.Mothers also have problems.

What mother means, as the saying goes, a elder sister-in-law is like a mother, as long as you get along well with your cousin sister-in-law, no one will criticize it anymore. "

This is very straightforward, but only those who really care about it will do so. Lin Huan understood, and gratefully shook Zhang Han's hand: "Sister, just tell my aunt that I have already given the accountant's key to my sister-in-law."

Zhang Han nodded again and again: "This is the best!" After speaking, he seemed to think of something, his eyes wandered around the flower hall, and he leaned close to Lin Huan's ear, and said softly: "The matter of Prince Yizhong, don't worry, Mother said she knew it well. I will always be with you today, and they can't play tricks under the noses of everyone no matter what."

Lin Huan frowned and was about to speak, but a girl had come to report, and the stage ahead was ready.

Mrs. Zheng's eldest daughter-in-law Mrs. Zheng quickly helped Mrs. Zheng up, and everyone went to the stage.Zhang Han and Lin Huan had no choice but to shut up, and followed Gu Shi all the way.

There is nothing unusual about operas, almost every banquet always sings a few times.Lin Huan lacked interest, and Zhang Han couldn't listen to it anymore, but the elders listened with gusto, watched for a while, and talked for a while, so they had to hold back their temper and accompany them.

Mrs. Zheng saw it, smiled and said to Mrs. Zheng: "Mother, we enjoyed watching this, but I'm afraid these little girls won't be able to sit still, why don't we ask Ning'er to play with him elsewhere, so as to save the trouble of being in this place?" A lethargic sleepy."

Mrs. Zheng smiled and agreed.The girls were all happy, they were sleepy a moment ago, but now they were whispering to each other, discussing whether to fly a kite or play with a spinning top.

The maid of the Zheng family was also clever, and brought a lot of kites and spinning tops in a short while.Another girl came to invite Lin Huan and Zhang Han to go boating by the pond, but Lin Huan declined once.A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl in light yellow bija snorted and said, "She is Tan Hualang's younger sister, I'm afraid she doesn't want to stay with ordinary people like us."

Lin Huan looked up, but she had never seen this woman before. She didn't know why she was so hostile to her when they met for the first time today. It's just that what she said was not very smart. She intended to run on Lin Huan, but she belittled all the other girls. up.

Everyone's expressions changed, but the girl in yellow didn't seem to know anything.Although Zheng Ning'er is a concubine, she is Zheng Guogong's youngest daughter, and now she is the only unmarried girl in the house. As the host, it is hard to see the atmosphere getting more and more embarrassing, and she is busy talking and making peace.Lin Huan didn't want to argue with a little girl, so he gave up.But the girl in yellow didn't know what to think, she glared at Lin Huan, and then went to the pond.

Zheng Ning'er hurriedly took other girls to go with her, and then came to invite Lin Huan and Zhang Han in person. After this, Lin Huan couldn't refuse anymore, so she had to agree.

When we got to the pool, Lin Huan said he was afraid of the water, so he didn't go on the boat. Zhang Han pointed to the gazebo by the pool and said, "My cousin and I just sit here and watch, and I'll be a referee for you to see who can row better." fastest."

Zheng Ning'er persuaded her several times, but seeing Lin Huan and Zhang Han's firm attitude, she had no choice but to let it go, and ordered her servants to serve melons, fruits and tea in the pavilion.Only then did he turn around to take care of the girl next to him.

Zhang Han pulled Lin Huan into his seat, and when he saw that there was no one around, he snorted coldly and said, "I also wondered how clever the methods of Zheng Guogong's mansion are! That's all, if you don't pay attention to the small boat, if it shakes, it will be gone." I can't push you into the water, but it can also wet your clothes, and then I will kindly take you to change..."

Lin Huan knew it well, so he pulled Zhang Han and said, "Sister, be careful, as long as we know, it's someone else's fault."

Zhang Han curled his lips, pointed to the woman in yellow just now, and said, "Before you came, I heard from others that this is the girl who was the number one scholar in Jinke last year, and her name is Xu Wei. No wonder she and you Don't deal with it. Her elder brother is a first-class scholar, but he is behind Biao Hai in everything, how can she be convinced? Although he is not from a poor family, he has fallen after all. He is not comparable to a family, and his bearing and upbringing have also fallen. Cheng. Just don't take it to heart, just ignore her!"

Lin Huan was about to reply, but Xu Wei had come over instead of getting on the boat.

"Don't think I don't know, what are you talking about me!"

Lin Huan rolled his eyes, and hurriedly stood up and took Xu Wei to a seat: "I haven't seen my cousin for many years, but just chatting for a while, how can I speak ill of my sister."

Seeing Lin Huan's politeness, Xu Wei seemed to be afraid of her, and immediately became flamboyant.He said: "The big guy only praises your brother blindly, but I don't have any skills when I look at it. I just rely on the shadow of my ancestors."

Zhang Han was so angry that he was about to defend himself when he saw the girl in Zheng's mansion bringing tea. Thinking of Lin Huan's sudden polite attitude towards Xu Wei just now, he looked at Xu Wei who was still complacent, and then at Lin Huan, Lin Huan. Huan glanced at the girl.Zhang Han's heart brightened, and he immediately understood, so he pulled Xu Wei and called her sister.

Xu Wei was a little dazed, but she didn't think too much about it, she thought it was because of Zu En's probing, Lin Ruhai had a guilty conscience, and she lacked confidence in front of her serious sister of the No.Thinking about it this way, his face became more and more smug, and he directed the girl to serve snacks and tea.

The girl was clumsy with her hands and feet, accidentally poured tea on Xu Wei's body, Xu Wei screamed, the girl was so frightened that she repeatedly confessed and kowtowed for mercy.Xu Wei couldn't back down, she beat and scolded that girl.

As soon as there was a movement here, the girls rowing over there also stopped, and they all rushed over, Zheng Ninger was overjoyed, it was obvious that it was not Lin Huan who got wet, but Xu Wei, her expression changed, Frowning, he still apologized to Xu Wei, pulled Xu Wei back to change clothes, and gave Lin Huan a deep look before leaving.

Lin Huan smiled and turned his head to chat with others, just pretending not to see him.But it is very clear in my heart.If the Zheng family wants to deal with her, it doesn't have to rely on Chizi to wet her dress, there are plenty of ways.So when she saw the girl serving tea, she thought of it.

This time I go back to the backyard to change clothes, and if I accidentally meet anyone... Prince Yizhong will not come to the Zheng family for no reason, and even if he does come to the Zheng family, he is always a stranger, so it is not good to enter the inner courtyard of the Zheng family. Can't stay long.But the Zheng family still has a few sons who were looking for their own girls in their own mansion, but accidentally ran into Lin Huan who was changing clothes in Zheng Ning's son's room.

Lin Huan sneered in his heart, this method is not new, and it is a bit inferior, but if it succeeds, it will be a hit.Lin Huan had to lament the princess' thoughts.Prince Yizhong wanted to marry her because he wanted to win over the Lin family.The Zheng family and Prince Yizhong are grasshoppers tied together by a rope, and if she enters the Zheng family's house, it will be the same.It not only achieved the goal of Prince Yizhong, but also solved an opponent, and if she helped Prince Yizhong accomplish this, Prince Yizhong would naturally remember her a little bit, and would even look at her a little bit more.

It's just that this strategy is inseparable. If you use it once, it's not easy to use it again.If you look for other ways, seeing that it's not too early, the stage over there is probably about to disperse.But before leaving Zheng's residence, his vigilance cannot be reduced.
