"You're not allowed to go out?" Lin Lang sighed, "I heard Miss Lan is engaged?"

Pei Mingxi nodded and said: "It's the son of Jiang's family, a member of the Ministry of Industry. By the way, Lin Lang, I will go to southern Xinjiang with my master in March. I'm afraid you won't be able to congratulate you in person when you get married. I will bring you some local objects from southern Xinjiang. stubborn."

"What's the matter, I keep that painting of yours on my desk, it's better than anything else. What are you going to do in southern Xinjiang?"

"Master said he was going there to gather folk songs, and he asked me to follow her to learn more, and my father agreed." Pei Mingxi held Linlang's hand, somewhat reluctantly, "I didn't expect you to get married so soon, and you must take good care of me in the future." Own."

"I should say this. I'm afraid there will be a spring famine in the south in a while, and there will be chaos everywhere. You have to be careful on the road. Follow your master closely, don't lose it." Pei Mingxi's master, Lin Lang, has only heard of names. It is said that the surname is Sui and the name is Yuandao. He is 26 years old this year and happens to be one round older than Pei Mingxi.

He Wenzhan has a lot of friends in the literati circle, and he has also been in touch with this Sui Yuandao. It is said that he is also a painting idiot. He is addicted to landscapes and flowers. He is still unmarried.Pei Mingxi has been following her since she entered the painting academy. According to her, Sui Yuandao treated her very well. Following him for more than half a year, Pei Mingxi is not only good at painting, but also has a more lively temper.

Of course, Lin Lang was happy to see it happen.In the past, because of his embarrassing background, Pei Mingxi didn't have many friends in the capital, and usually lived alone at home quietly, so he developed a taciturn personality.Looking at her current transformation, I think this Sui Yuandao has contributed a lot, and Pei Mingxi has really gained a lot from entering the Academy of Painting this time.

The two talked for a long time, and seeing Pei Minglan bring out the maid, Pei Mingxi said goodbye and left.

Putting away the winter clothes and changing into spring clothes, gradually the wedding day approached, Lin Lang tried on the wedding dress Fengguan, and the Qin family took care of the Pei family's shop and property, because Lin Lang was still young, so she chose a reliable mother early on Tuning, when the time comes, help Lin Lang take care of all kinds of dowry business.Usually these things are taken care of by Mother Wei, but now there are only a few people who can be trained in a hurry, so Qin asked Mother Wei to take care of Lin Lang for a year first, which ruined Mother Wei.

The Lanling Courtyard is full of preparations for marriage. Apart from the dowries, the dowry maids and wives are also indispensable.Some of these people were bought by the Qin family, but most of them were maidservants in He's mansion, or some people had family members in He's mansion as slaves. When dowrying, these had to be taken care of and delivered clearly. Lin Lang had to spend a lot of money to pick a few reliable and proper people effort.

A tree of crabapple in the yard has spit out green leaves early, and a few flower buds have sprung up here and there, and the wisteria has also grown luxuriantly. Although it has not yet bloomed with purple flower clusters, it is still quite beautiful in the spring.

The Jing Jing sent by Xu Lang has grown up a bit now, and Lin Lang gave it to Jin Xiu to take care of, because He Weichen likes these little things, and after getting along with them for a few months, the little guy developed a little attachment to Diao Er.Linlang couldn't bear to part with Qin Shi and He Wenzhan, and even less with this pink and cute little brother. She only hoped that time would pass by slowly, so that she could covet the peace and happiness of Lanling Courtyard for a few more days.

As soon as the Shangsi Festival is over on March [-], the flower garden outside the Lanling Courtyard is full of flowers of various colors, and the clusters of them are warm and brocade-like, which makes people feel happy after seeing them.The courtyard is also full of spring, red flowers and green trees are bright and colorful, the shade of begonia and lilac covers the spring light, and Lin Lang, who is dressed in a new dress under the plantain, is sitting around with a mink in her arms, a natural picture.

On the eighth day of March, when the willows were blowing low and the cherries were blooming on the side of Yujie Street, the Xu family's one hundred and eight betrothal gifts were delivered to He's residence.
