Chapter 74 The Depressed Little Lanzi
Chapter 74 The Depressed Little Lanzi
But Lin Yan wrapped himself in a long gown, stepped on soaped boots, and wore a silver crown in his hair. Brand new and beaming, he rode in a carriage and came to Anlehou Mansion.
As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, there was a sound of drumming - it was welcoming the new relatives.Situ Lan was entrusted by Yun Ning to treat the guests on his behalf. At this time, he took Zhao Si, the old housekeeper of Anlehou Mansion, to welcome him out of the gate.
Seeing Lin Yan getting off the car, Situ Lan smiled all over her face, and went up to the two of them pretending to greet each other. Situ Lan took Lin Yan into the Hou's mansion together.
Lin Yan's visit this time was due to his in-law status, so he naturally took the lead.The eight youth groups who had previously urged to make up in the Hou's mansion sat with each other.These few are all outstanding from the big family in Beijing, needless to say the etiquette and rules, their appearance is also outstanding.The old butler Zhao Si introduced them one by one, and hurriedly set up the banquet - according to the rules, the guests can only start the banquet after the new relatives have taken their leave.
Yun Ning has a high status and has been favored. Today he is getting married, so naturally many people come to give gifts to curry favor.Situ Lan looked around to take care of the guests in the mansion, but her eyes looked at Lin Yan who was sitting in the flower hall from time to time.But seeing the smile on Lin Yan's eyebrows, his already handsome face was even more radiant because of the smile, and with that exquisitely embroidered and brightly colored summer shirt lining his body, the whole person looked like one A bright pearl, the halo is clear and eye-catching.
Situ Lan murmured in his heart - he just married his younger sister, and he didn't marry himself, so what's the point of smiling so prettily?There are also a few people accompanying the guests, who, the second boy of Jinxiang Hou's family, is too close to De Zifei!What is the name of that Pingyuanhou family, Jiang Zining!What does it mean to always toast to Zifei? ...
Zhao Si followed behind Situ Lan, and couldn't stand it any longer. He took two steps forward and said in a low voice, "The two princes Zhong Jing and Zhong Zhong are there, do you want to go over there?"
When Situ Lan heard this, she frowned slightly, thinking of the two elder brothers who came hand in hand.He raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly, patted his robe, and said: "Since the two brothers are here, I naturally have to go and have a look."
Loyalty, respect and loyalty are born of the noble concubine in the palace today.The noble concubine is the side concubine in the hidden mansion, and she was very popular with the emperor who was still the prince.Before the concubine Zheng entered the door, she had already given birth to the eldest son of the concubine, who is today's Prince Zhongjing.Later, after the concubine became pregnant, she gave birth to a second son, who became the loyal prince.After the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne, he directly conferred the title of imperial concubine on her, and she was also honored and favored forever. Even her two sons were loved by the Supreme Emperor more than other princes.
Maybe it's because people are highly praised, and their hearts grow bigger.In front of the throne of the Supreme Emperor, the two brothers, together with their mother and concubine, acted like I have the most sacred heart, and the next emperor must be me.An unpopular prince like Situ Lan was naturally not taken seriously.
It's a pity, if these two brothers who have a single mother work together, maybe they will really pull the son off the horse.
Situ Lan thought all the way and walked inside, when he heard a burst of laughter in his ears, and he entered the room with the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Brothers, my brother is late and I can't take care of you well." Situ Lan sat down on the mahogany armchair.
The loyal prince took a look at him, and said with a smile: "In the past, the ninth younger brother didn't like to socialize with others very much, but today he is diligent."
Situ Lan laughed, "Father seemed to know how happy Yun Ning's wedding was, so he called me to the palace to explain. The second brother knows that Yun Ning is our cousin, and my aunt will leave him alone. , Father, can you not be in pain? Well, you are all brothers anyway, this matter of running errands and working hard is still brothers."
Zhong Jing twirled two jade balls the size of chicken eggs in his right hand, and smiled falsely, "What brother Jiu said, is it possible that he is going to complain on behalf of the guests for Cousin Yun?"
"Even if the father doesn't give orders, Yun Ning and I have the same temper. Shouldn't I be helping? I just muttered a few words, good brother, don't complain to the father when you go to the palace tomorrow. "
Speaking of which, he picked up the tea on the small carved table beside him and poured half of it, stood up and said with a smile: "Brothers, brothers, go out and have a look, you can do what you want, do what you want."
Without waiting for Zhongjing Zhongcheng to speak, he lifted his robe and went out.
Zhongjing snorted coldly, lowered his voice and said, "I really think I have become a character."
Loyal but silent, he had long given up hope for his elder brother.He knows his big brother very well, he is not small in ambition, and he doesn't have much brains.If it wasn't for this, I wouldn't have separated from him and let Situ Jun benefit for nothing.
On an occasion like this, how many people must come and go?But my elder brother couldn't bear Situ Lan's anger, so he opened his mouth and said.Seeing that his two brothers have become worse and worse with his father in the past two years, his loyal eyes fell on his hands, and he curled his lips.
Lin Yan always had a smile on his face, sipped half a glass of wine, waited until the soup was served, and got up to leave according to the rules.
The few accompanying people also got up, and Situ Lan strode back and sent them out in person.Until outside the gate, the Lin family's carriage was waiting there.Ji Xiang, dressed in brand new clothes, came up with a flattering smile and helped Lin Yan pull up the car curtain.
Situ Lan leaned next to Lin Yan and said in a low voice, "I'll go to you at night, don't change your clothes."
Lin Yan paused, looked back at him, with a smile in his eyes, slightly curved mouth, and nodded slightly.
Situ Lan watched the carriage go far away before going back full of ambition.
Don't talk about how in Yunning's mansion worship heaven and earth to enter the bridal chamber, just say that after Lin Yan returned to Lin's mansion, he had to prepare to bring Daiyu home on the third day.After the return ceremony, the marriage is considered to be over.
Although Lin Yan found the ancient etiquette complicated, he was quite interested.After changing his clothes and washing his face, he asked someone to set up several ice basins in the study, and then he sat there and started writing posts.The first three lines are written about the young couple with Yunning Daiyu, which is also according to the rules.In addition, Lin Yan had to invite relatives of the Lin family on the day of his return. Lin Yan thought about it, and Daiyu's relatives really had no other family except Rongfu.Come on, for the sake of Daiyu's face, I have to post a message to the people in Rongfu.Then it's for Daiyu to kiss the Zhao family.
After it was all written, he ordered the servant outside to call Lin Cheng in and ask him to take care of it.But he was sitting slumped in the chair—he could finally take a rest, these days he was on duty and holding weddings, so he really didn't have time to catch his breath.
"Master, Manager Chen is here." Chang Le'er came in from the outside to reply.
Lin Yan nodded, motioning for someone to come in.
"Master, my aunt's great expenses have all been accounted for, and now it has been cleared, sir, have a look at it now?" Chen Sheng was in charge of the accounting room, and he was dexterous.Lin Yan intends to train him to be the successor of the old housekeeper Lin Cheng.Now that Daiyu was married, Chen Sheng changed his mind now.
Lin Yan took the account book and glanced at it for a while, then threw it back, "Okay, you're right everywhere, just save it if you're right. If you go out to pay for it, the theater troupe that my sister will come back to the door in the future , banquets, reminders, etc. are prepared in advance.”
Chen Sheng replied with a smile: "The colored satin is ready for the three dynasties, and the small theater troupe invited two. The table noodles are still made by a cook from the Zuixian Tower, and all the things that will be used are also fresh. For those who have given a deposit, the uncle can just rest assured."
Lin Yan waved him to go out, feeling that he was really tired, so he got up and leaned on the rattan couch in front of the window.
The sun has already slanted to the west, and the bright white sunlight outside shines on the room through the window screens, and the light is very good.There is an ice basin in the room, so it doesn't look hot anymore.Lin Yan was so comfortable in the sun that he simply closed his eyes to rest his mind, but fell asleep unknowingly.
When I opened my eyes again, there was another one on the couch.Xiao Xiao curled up into a ball and fell asleep leaning against him.
Lin Yan looked at his little nephew's sleeping face, sighed, and hugged him upwards.Lin Ruo, the leader, has passed the assessment of Xishan Academy, and Lin Yan will send him to the academy after Daiyu meets.
Lin Yan had left Lin Ruo alone at home before, but this time it was different. He was not allowed to take a maid and woman with him, and he didn't know if Lin Ruo could adapt.
Seeing that the room was getting dark, I slept very soundly this time.He stood up, took a few steps, and stretched his body.
"Second Uncle..." Lin Ruo rubbed her eyes and sat up.
Lin Yan turned his head, rubbed his little round head, and said with a smile, "When did you come in? I don't know."
Lin Ruo grinned, and scratched her head embarrassingly, "When I came in, I saw my second uncle fell asleep, and I don't know why I fell asleep."
Seeing that it was already time for dinner, Lin Yan ordered someone to put the food in the study, and the uncle and nephew ate together, and then they each read without mentioning the lights in the study.
But it was said that Situ Lan had been busy at Yunning's house for a whole day, and in the evening, he blocked Yunning's wine a few times, and finally waited for the guests to leave, and even the bridal chamber did not make a fuss, so he came out with a bit of alcohol.
Along the way, thinking of Lin Yan wearing red clothes, his demeanor is different from the past, and his heart is really shaking.
But even though he thought well, when he managed to get into Lin Yan's small courtyard, he found that Lin Yan was fast asleep on the bed, and there was another person lying beside him.
Situ Lan only felt a "boom" on his head, and immediately his blood rushed to the top, and the green cloud covered his head. He wanted to roar, but unexpectedly met Lin Yan's opened eyes.
Lin Yan made a silent movement, and said softly, "Ruo'er has only slept for a while, so don't disturb him."
After finishing speaking, he stood up lightly, hugged Lin Ruo in his arms, and lowered his voice, "I sent him back, you can rest yourself first."
As he spoke, he signaled Situ Lan to cover Lin Ruo with a gown.Situ Lan covered Lin Ruo with a dull face, watching Lin Yan carry Lin Ruo out.
Fortunately, the distance between the two yards is not very far, but Lin Yan came back after two cups of tea.Situ Lan leaned on the bed, looked at Lin Yan's moon-white tulle tulle jacket, and felt quite regretful, "Isn't it the clothes you wear during the day? Didn't you say you don't want to change it?"
Seeing that he was already a little drunk, Lin Yan took warm tea from the tea tray and handed it to him, then smiled lightly and said, "Your body smells like sweat, why don't you change it and keep it in the smoker's room?"
Situ Lan gulped down Lin Yan's hand, stretched out her arms to hug him, and said in a muffled voice, "Zifei really looks good in red, even better than the groom."
Lin Yan was startled, and stretched out his hand to lift Situ Lan's face. Seeing the unconcealable loneliness on his face, he couldn't help feeling sour.He knew what was on Situ Lan's mind, and this was also his own distress.Sighing, she took the initiative to put her lips on Situ Lan's lips.
Tongue-to-mouth contact, tossing and lingering.
This day is destined to be the day when lovers get married.
