Weiyang of the Red Mansion

"Sister Sister's Ceremony will be on the twelfth of next month. My father is busy with government affairs, and Mother Jia has to take care of Sister Sister. There are still some chores to deal with in the house, so I won't stay and eat together." Lin Lang didn't know that Shui Rong tried every means to stay His intention to eat, but he must not stay to eat today, otherwise these messy relationships will be unclear.

Shui Rong sat down according to Lin Lang, and said, "Aren't the housekeepers still responsible for the miscellaneous affairs in the mansion? Why do you, the master, need to personally intervene and deal with them? When the concierge came to report just now, I was talking with my grandmother." Well, I know you're here, how can I not keep you for dinner, and let grandma know that I'm rude?"

Lin Lang could see now that Shui Rong was under the instigation of someone to deliberately keep him.

"Okay, Maosheng, don't try so hard to keep me in the palace, tell me, what's going on?" Now that Lin Lang discovered Shui Rong's intentions, he didn't bother to beat around the bush, and simply said Speak clearly.

I don't know if it's the sequelae of Lin Shaoqing's memory from that life. People in the world are used to being straightforward, and now he doesn't like hypocrisy and politeness with others.

I didn't expect Lin Lang to be so straightforward, Shui Rong laughed dryly twice, and said, "Didn't we go to the Lantern Festival together a few days ago? My sister took the rabbit lantern you gave me that day, and was seen by my concubine when she came back. I told my father, and the next day my grandmother knew about it, and when I heard you were coming, my grandmother told me to keep you for dinner today."

Lin Lang suddenly realized, and then smiled wryly. After all, it was the sequelae caused by his own recklessness. He only wanted to explain the misunderstanding of the Yinlou that day, but forgot about the Lantern Festival. This is not easy to explain clearly.

Sighing in his heart, Lin Lang felt guilty and lost the courage to decline this 'Hongmen Banquet'.

What should be faced is still to be faced, and there is no escape.

"In this case, I'd rather be respectful than obedient." Although Lin Lang was panicked at the moment, he could only face it.

Seeing Lin Lang let go, Shui Rong took Lin Lang for a walk in the garden until someone from his grandmother came to invite him.

"Qinghua, let's go. There is only a family banquet for my sister-in-law's birthday today. It's in the Wuyun Pavilion behind the garden, not far from here. Let's go there now. Don't delay the time. Instead, call grandma and father and queen mother." Concubine is waiting for us." Shui Rong said.

Lin Lang lamented in his heart, but didn't show anything on his face, and said with a smile, "Then let's go, don't tell the elders to wait for us."

The two walked towards Wuyun Pavilion one after the other, chatting about the interesting things that happened in Beijing recently, and arrived at Wuyun Pavilion not long after. It is today's little birthday star, and at this moment, I am afraid that he is with the old princess and the others, so at this moment, there are only Shui Rong and Lin Lang in Wuyun Pavilion.

Shui Rong greeted Lin Lang to sit down, ordered someone to serve tea, and dragged Lin Lang to continue chatting until the old concubine and her party entered Wuyun Pavilion.

"Grandmother, father, mother, concubine, younger sister." Shui Rong stepped forward to salute one by one, and Lin Lang followed closely to salute, "I have seen the concubine, the prince and concubine," and then glanced at Shui Keyu who was following behind, and smiled He said, "I haven't congratulated the county lord yet."

Shui Keyu blushed and said, "Brother Lin is here to celebrate my birthday? Is there a gift?"

"..." Lin Lang was immediately stopped by the question, thinking that when he entered the door, he handed the gift to Shui Rong...

This is very embarrassing.

Just when Lin Lang was in distress, Shui Rong took out a wooden box from his wide cuff and handed it to Shui Keyu, "This is Qionghua's birthday gift to you, open it and see if you like it?"

Lin Lang was stunned by Shui Rong's coquettish operation, the corner of his mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.

After all, he was indeed the one who picked this gift, and he also bought it for Shui Keyu. There is nothing wrong with Shui Rong's words, but he always feels that Shui Rong is acting weird today, and he doesn't know if his feelings are wrong.

Shui Keyu didn't expect that there was a real gift, so she took the wooden box handed over by her elder brother, opened it, and saw that it was a Ruyi lock pendant inlaid with silver and jade, it looked very delicate and small, and the meaning of Ruyi lock was also very good.

This gift is really thoughtful.

The king of Beijing County, the concubine, and the concubine all saw this gift in their eyes, but they didn't say anything. They greeted Lin Lang to sit down for dinner, and didn't ask Lin Lang any strange questions during the dinner. Shui Keyu, the somewhat bold and unrestrained little magistrate of the county, is also a very lady today, without any disrespect, the meal ended smoothly like this, Lin Lang left after drinking tea, but this time Shui Rong didn't say goodbye. Stopped, Lin Lang came out of the palace smoothly.

Boarding his own carriage, Lin Lang was still in a dream.

This matter is solved?Why did he feel that something was wrong?

Is there something he overlooked?

At this moment, in the Prince's Mansion of Beijing County.

Shui Keyu has been sent back to rest, and the prince, concubine, and Shui Rong are all talking in the concubine's yard.

The four of them did not leave a single person in their words... Lin Lang who had just left the palace.

"Grandma, what do you mean, Qionghua doesn't have the slightest admiration for his younger sister?" Shui Rong looked at his grandmother in astonishment, and couldn't believe what he heard. He went shopping with Lin Lang and his younger sister that day. For the lantern festival, he was the one who watched Lin Lang choose a lantern for his sister, so what could be wrong?

But grandmother said so firmly that Lin Lang never fell in love with his younger sister Shui Keyu, and it didn't seem like she was lying to him, and there was no need to lie to him.

What exactly is going on?

"Maosheng, don't be impatient, listen to your grandmother first." Although Beijing County Wang Shui Zhenchuan was a little confused, but he believed that his mother would not talk nonsense, so he said something to appease Shui Rong, and then looked at Beijing The Princess of the County, "Mother, you said that since Lin Lang doesn't have such thoughts for Yu'er, why did he give Yu'er a lamp? Now Yu'er only feels that Lin Lang admires her."

Speaking of this, Shui Zhenchuan felt a little troubled.

If Lin Lang really admires Shui Keyu, considering Lin Ruhai's face, this marriage is not impossible, but if it is true as his mother said, Lin Lang has no admiration for Yu'er, and everything is his daughter's wishful thinking. It's over, I'm afraid there will be problems at that time.

The concubine Cai sighed, "Brother Lang may have other reasons for sending the lamp to Yu'er, but he didn't want to express his love."

"This... Isn't this nonsense?" Princess Ruan said a little annoyed.

She looked around and saw that the young Shui Keyu seemed to have moved a little bit towards Lin Lang. Although these thoughts were not considered emotional, but after two or three years, Yu'er will reach the age of first love, who knows? What are the consequences?

Concubine Cai glared at Ruan, "What's nonsense? Although sending lanterns during the Lantern Festival expresses love, it's not only expressing love between men and women, but also expressing blessings. If you don't do this on Lantern Festival Er'er reprimanding Yu'er will not cause Yu'er to misunderstand Brother Lang's admiration for her."

Being verbally reprimanded by the concubine, Ruan bowed her head and remained silent.

"Don't be unconvinced, Yu'er is still young now, and Brother Lang of the Lin family is only 11 years old, what do you know about love at such a young age?" The concubine was indeed a little annoyed by Ruan's random scolding that day, which made it so difficult now. Things are out of order.

Brother Lang of the Lin family is smart, he must have realized that today's meal has another purpose, but he is smart and would not ask it face to face.

But thinking about today's meal, it also left a deep impression in Lin Lang's heart, and he might not tell Lin Ruhai about it when he goes back, and he doesn't know what will be involved by then.

But today this meal had to be left to Lin Lang to eat. Ever since she heard that her daughter-in-law reprimanded Yu'er for a lamp, she sent someone to ask. After finding out the whole story, she felt that something was wrong. Yudu is a half-grown child, and he hasn't met a few times, so how could he go straight to the point of sending a lamp to express his love?

The concubine always wanted to see Lin Lang, so as to find out what Lin Lang thought about Yu'er, but she couldn't find a good reason to see Lin Lang.

It wasn't until Shui Rong said that Lin Lang would come to give gifts on Yu'er's birthday, that she took advantage of the opportunity and asked Shui Rong to keep Lin Lang, in order to see if Lin Lang had that kind of thought for Yu'er.

If a person is really emotional, his behavior will reveal obvious information.

However, during the banquet just now, she only felt that Lin Lang was extremely embarrassed, and she hadn't glanced at Shui Keyu during the period. Lin Lang's various behaviors showed that he had no half-hearted admiration for Shui Keyu.

Unfortunately, Yu'er misunderstood Lin Lang because of Ruan's words.

What a mess!

If it is Lin Lang who is to blame for this, it really cannot be blamed on Lin Lang, but if it is not to blame Lin Lang, it is also unreasonable, after all, the Ruan family will reprimand Shui Keyu because of the lamp that Lin Lang gave.

"In this way, it's because the concubine was too eager to reprimand Yu'er, which made things worse?" Shui Zhenchuan understood what the concubine meant, but he couldn't blame his wife, because in recent years, almost all the lanterns at the Lantern Festival have been delivered. To express his admiration, even Lin Ruhai gave Jia Min a lamp to express his admiration when he was young.

At first, he also thought that Lin Lang sent the lantern to express his love for Yu'er, but after his mother analyzed it to him, he also felt that something was wrong.

Now it seems that they have misunderstood.

But how to explain it to Yu'er?

Seeing her son's distress, the concubine sighed, "Since Brother Lang of the Lin family doesn't have such thoughts, don't mention this matter in the future. Fortunately, Yu'er is still young and doesn't understand love. Brother Lang already thinks about it." Knowing that there was something wrong with today's meal, he told Lin Ruhai when he went back. A smart person like Lin Ruhai would teach Brother Lang to stay away from Yu'er. It's over."

That means, cold treatment.

Although Ruan was unwilling, but the concubine had already spoken, what else could she say?

It wasn't that she was dissatisfied with Lin Lang, on the contrary, if her Yu'er could marry Lin Lang, she would be too happy.

After all, it is said that Lin Lang has the talent of the number one scholar and has a bright future.

With a father like Lin Ruhai, coupled with the background of the Lin family, marrying their palace means having the backing of the palace. It is obvious that Lin Lang will flourish in the future.

Not to mention that Lin Lang's mother was the only legitimate daughter of the late old Duke of Rongguo Mansion.

Rongguo Mansion can also be regarded as one of Lin Lang's backers.

In this way, Lin Lang's background is really scary...

But now that Concubine Tai has spoken, her idea of ​​taking this opportunity to finalize the marriage has come to nothing.

Concubine Mingming is also satisfied with Brother Lang, why should she deal with this matter coldly?Ruan really couldn't figure it out, and when she returned to the main courtyard, she couldn't help showing some thoughts, which was noticed by Wang Ye Shui Zhenchuan.
