[Twelve o'clock in Chang'an] Six states song head

The distance between the East Market and the West Market is not far, Jiang Zhu walked all the way back, and it was not uncommon to see the excitement. When he arrived at the Lin Mansion, it was already early noon, and there was already someone sent by Mrs. Lin guarding the door. When he saw Jiang Zhu arrived, he immediately came up to greet him. .

"The sixteenth lady is back. The lady has been talking about it for a long time. I waited here when I got up in the morning."

Jiang Zhu excused several servants and asked aloud, "Where is sister-in-law?"

"The lady is in the kitchen and someone arranges lunch. Knowing that the little lady is coming back, she specially prepares the golden souffle that the little lady loves most. Waiting for the little lady to come back, I know that the little lady is running all the way."

Jiang Zhu hummed, and asked again: "Is elder brother in the greenhouse?"

"Ah Lang is admiring the flowers in the greenhouse."

"Let's go see big brother first."

"Here."

When Jiang Zhu arrived at the greenhouse, a wave of warmth rushed over her, and she couldn't help but exhale softly.There were no servants in the flower room, only one person turned his back to Jiang Zhu, half-bent and approached the flower branches, as if he was trimming the flowers and plants. That person was Lin Jiulang, the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty.Chang'an's seasonal flowers are neatly arranged in the flower house, which sets off the warm spring in the greenhouse.Lin Jiulang didn't turn his head when he heard her voice, but said, "Xiaocha is back."

Jiang Zhu saluted and said, "Brother."

Lin Jiulang put down the scissors in his hand, took the handkerchief handed over by Li Sifang to clean his hands, and said, "The market is opening, why did Xiaocha come back at the beginning of the afternoon?"

Li Sifang saluted and said: "I have seen Sixteen Niangs, and Sixteen Niangs are in good health."

"Sifang." Jiang Zhu nodded slightly, and said to Lin Jiulang, "Brother, if you don't know why I came back at the beginning of the afternoon, you're not a big brother."

Lin Jiulang sneered, then walked up to her, reached out and patted her forehead lightly, and said, "You are still clever. You have been tired outside for several years, and Tianshui is in chaos. You still have to go back to be uncle Watch out. If you hadn't learned martial arts from a martial artist since you were young, and you are smart and smart, how would your sister-in-law and I dare to let you go to Tianshui alone."

Although Lin Jiulang had allowed Jiang Zhu to go to Tianshui alone at the beginning, Jiang Zhu's journey was very smooth, and there were more arrangements in various places. When he arrived in Tianshui, Jiang Jiao's cemetery had been repaired, and there were already built houses next to it. For Jiangzhu to keep the spirit.

It was also at that time that Jiang Zhu realized that his elder brother was already a very popular person.

Jiang Zhu smiled, took Lin Jiulang's arm and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. My brother is old and likes to chatter. I'm back today. Let's have lunch with me and my sister-in-law."

Lin Jiulang was very affectionate to her, and said, "Hmph, now you are the only one who dares to say that about me."

Jiang Zhu thought about it, and said: "Then elder brother, do you think it's good or not?"

Lin Jiulang stopped and looked at him, and said, "That depends on who said it. You and I are relatives, but there are wolves, tigers and leopards outside."

Jiang Zhu met his uncompromising eyes, and could only respond in a low voice.

Seeing that she had stopped talking, Lin Jiulang took the initiative to say, "First go to the Jing'an Division to see your unmarried gentleman, because he is afraid that he will not be handsome because of Taoism?"

"Brother—" Jiang Zhu dragged his voice, looking at Lin Jiulang eagerly.

She wasn't shy because Lin Jiulang teased her about her marriage, but she was disturbed because she couldn't guess what Lin Jiulang meant by mentioning it.

Lin Jiulang took Jiang Zhu to the back hall, and said as he walked, "Your sister-in-law has been talking about your marriage for a long time. Since Li is bound to leave the mountain, the marriage contract between you two should be fulfilled as soon as possible."

Jiang Zhu was slightly taken aback, feeling a little guilty, and said, "I thought Eldest Brother didn't like him..."

"If he were my sister-in-law, I would naturally not dislike him. Not only would I not loathe him, but I would teach him, promote him, let him shine in the Tang Dynasty, and let him shine in my Lin family." Lin Jiulang finished speaking. , narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "But if he is willing to be a jackal outside the door, I can't show mercy."

"Brother..." Jiang Zhu whispered anxiously, tugging on his sleeve.

When he got to the door of the back hall, Lin Jiulang stopped, stared at Jiang Zhu and said, "He postponed his marriage three times in the past, insulted our Lin family, and learned to be a poor student who is trying to gain fame. I don't need to pursue these for your sake , but if he is so ignorant of flattery again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"What's ruthless! Tomorrow is the Shangyuan Festival. What A Lang says is ruthless!" Lin Niangzi came out from the back hall, saw Jiang Zhu and Lin Jiulang standing together, her eyes were a little moist, and said: "Xiaocha I lost weight, I looked taller, and I was a little darker... I don't know if the wedding dress I prepared in the past can still be worn..."

Lady Lin and Lin Jiulang are young couples, and they are over half a century old now. Although they don't have the beauty and youth of a young woman, they have a gentle temperament, and they are graceful and generous because they have been in the family for many years.

Seeing a few strands of white hair on her forehead, Jiang Zhu couldn't help sobbing, "Sister-in-law..."

Lady Lin just smiled and said, "Okay, you two, come in quickly, the lunch has been prepared."

Lin Jiulang took Jiang Zhu into the back hall together, and said, "She is calling me old in a different way, and I can't straighten my back."

Jiang Zhu stopped the tears, and joked: "Didn't the elder brother say that I am the only one who dares to speak of you?"

"Hmph..." Lin Jiulang half-closed his eyes: "There were only you two women in the family earlier, and I couldn't argue with you."

After having a good lunch, Lin Jiulang still had business to deal with, so Mrs. Lin took Jiang Zhu to take a bath and rest.

"I heard the excitement outside today, but your eldest brother doesn't want me to go out. It's rare for you to come back and take a rest for a while. Let's go out and have fun together." Mrs. Lin took the hibiscus leaf pulp from the maidservant and tenderly served Jiang Bamboo shampoo.

Seeing her full of anticipation, Jiang Zhu teased with a smile: "How long has it been since sister-in-law went out?"

"I can't remember either. Ah Lang is also worried about me." Mrs. Lin sighed softly, and said: "We must guard our small family first, so that Ah Lang can concentrate on guarding his career, doing things for the saint, and guarding us." Datang."

Jiang Zhu hummed in a low voice, and said again: "There is a little tea here today, sister-in-law and I just go out to play."

Lady Lin showed a smile, and said: "I know, our Xiaocha is doing well now, not inferior to a man."

Jiang Zhu wiped the dust off his body with a wet cloth towel, Lady Lin suddenly waved to the other maidservants around to let them go down, then leaned into Jiang Zhu's ear and said, "It just so happens that you take me to meet that Li Changyuan today, let's see Who is it that treats our little tea like this, but your elder brother is not angry."

Jiang Zhu shrank back into the water, and whispered: "He still has official business today, why did he come to see his sister-in-law?"

Mrs. Lin muttered: "How come there are still official duties on the Lantern Festival...the saint is too inconsiderate..."

"Sister-in-law—"

"Okay, okay, I won't say more, more mistakes will be made, Alang has said it. Although your brothers and sisters are very different in age, but your tempers are exactly the same!" Mrs. Lin scooped up water with a gourd to wash away the hibiscus leaf pulp for her, and used Comb combed her hair, and said with emotion: "I remember when you first came to our house, you were only ten years old. You were small and very good-looking. We all called you Xiaocha. I don't have a daughter. When I saw you, I would call you Xiaocha." My heart is full of joy, and I love you as a daughter, as long as you live well, I will feel at ease in my heart."

At the beginning, the Jiang family was either executed or exiled. No one dared to accept Jiang Zhu, for fear that if he was not careful, he would anger the saint. The scene of gathering horses and horses in the past was just a fake. State Duke Jiang Jiao is brother and sister and dare not take care of Jiang Zhu, lest he be implicated.

Only the Li family was willing to accept Jiang Zhu. They never mentioned the cancellation of the marriage contract. Instead, they taught Jiang Zhu carefully. How many people are envious.

In the 16th year of the old calendar, Lin Jiulang finally gained a firm foothold in the court, and then he took Jiang Zhu to be educated by the Lin family. At that time, the prince was not yet a prince, and Li Linfu naturally did not confront him like that. On the contrary, he has a good relationship. Now Thinking about it, it was Jiang Zhu's happiest time.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhu's eyes were a little sour, and he whispered: "I also respect and love my sister-in-law as a mother."

"In that case, I should let me meet that Li Langjun and check for you."

Hearing that she had changed the topic again, Jiang Zhu couldn't refute, and in the end he could only dive under the surface of the water, thinking that Mrs. Lin couldn't keep talking and she didn't want to show her head.

Lady Lin was amused by her appearance, reached out and patted the edge of the tub, and said, "Don't hold back the little tea, the cloth towel is hanging on the screen, wipe yourself clean, change your clothes before coming out." After finishing speaking, she turned around Go out of the house and close the door tightly.

Jiang Zhu floated up from the water, wiped the water on his face, and his hot face felt better because of the wind.

Jiang Zhu wiped the water off her body, and the servants outside immediately filed in and helped her get dressed in an orderly manner.

Jiang Zhu hadn't been served like this for several years, so she was at a loss for a while, so she had to stand there so that the maids could dress her, and two maids stood behind her to wipe her wet hair.

After returning to Lin's mansion, the Hu clothes that were full of dust were thrown aside, and replaced by ivory gauze skirts and lotus-colored myrobalan. After Jiang Zhu changed, he went to Mrs. Lin's house.

Mrs. Lin was sitting at the desk, fiddling with a dress. Seeing Jiang Zhu approaching, she said, "Come here and have a look."

When Jiang Zhu saw the somewhat worn bright red long dress, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and said in a low voice, "Look at Zhu Chengbi thinking a lot, haggard and torn apart for Yijun. I don't believe that I shed tears recently, and I opened the box to inspect the pomegranate dress... "

Mrs. Lin asked curiously: "What kind of poem is this? What is it about?"

Jiang Zhu explained: "It's Empress Zetian's poem, and it's right..." She paused for a moment, not knowing how to tell Mrs. Lin so as to prevent her from mentioning Li Bi again.

Fortunately, Mrs. Lin didn't care about it, she just said: "This is the dress prepared for you a few years ago, and it was the fashionable style in Chang'an at that time, but unfortunately it is outdated now."

Jiang Zhu knelt beside her, and said: "It's okay, this dress is very pretty, you can wear this dress when you go to the street with your sister-in-law in the afternoon."

Lady Lin smiled and said, "What a little tea."
