History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 30

Today, the world is obsessed with carpentry and ignores government affairs. It will soon be a waste of time and money to search for wood. The world will change sooner or later.Once the Zhu family raises an army, there are very few who can contend with it.The Xu family suffered a crushing defeat in the previous life, will they turn the situation around in this life?
Once her thoughts came alive, she couldn't hold back. She stared at the water surface without moving, even the people on the opposite side looked at her for a long time and didn't notice.

In the end, the sound of water came to her ears, and a bamboo pole appeared in the lotus bushes in front of her, which woke her up.Xu Xiang had already sent Wei Wei away. He was afraid that Xu Lang would fall asleep in the lotus lake when he was drunk, which would delay Lin Lang, so he came to look for her.The sun had already set, and the lake surface was full of gold, Lin Lang looked down to the side, and sure enough Xu Lang was closing his eyes, not sure if he was really sleeping or pretending to be sleeping.

Xu Xiang giggled, and dragged Lin Lang to her boat, leaving Xu Lang here to enjoy the cool breeze, and the two little sisters went to enjoy themselves.

After staying with Xu's family for dinner, it was already dusk when Lin Lang followed He Weijie back to He's residence.

Turning into the archway and entering the Lanling Courtyard, there were dark clouds in the sky at this moment, the women were afraid that it would rain tonight and spoil the few potted flowers planted by Mrs. Put away the things that are afraid of the rain.

When Lin Lang entered the room, she saw Mrs. Qin leaning on the beauty couch set up by the window, with her hands folded to protect her abdomen, her hair on her side in a daze.The bamboo bushes outside the window were swaying and rustling in the wind, and Qin's silhouette was a shadow, a bit sparse.This kind of scene is very familiar. When Lin Lang was very young, every time she saw Qin Shi, she always looked like this, as if she was full of thoughts, but she didn't look heavy, it just made people feel remote and unreachable.

Turning his head and looking around, Hua Fan was preparing things for Qin Shi to bathe in the room, Qiu Shui and Xia Yu were scenting the clothes and bedding, but He Wenzhan was nowhere to be seen.

She walked over to lean on Qin's side, and climbed onto her shoulder to act like a spoiled child, "Why are you so dazed, mother?"

"Are you back?" Qin realized it now, turned around and touched her face, "It's so cold, you need to wear some clothes."

"It came here with the wind blowing just now, and it will be fine later. Mother can't catch the cold, she should close the window."

Qin frowned and smiled, "Are you having a good time today? I heard from Xu Xiang that you are going to visit Lianhu Lake?"

"Of course the lotus lake in the Xu family is interesting. I even made an appointment with sister Xu to find time to relax at the foot of the West Mountain!" Linlang said happily, but she couldn't bring Qin's emotions away. Guessing that she had something on her mind, she asked Said: "Where is Daddy?"

Qin's palm paused, and then fell down, "I haven't come back yet."

"Isn't the banquet already over?"

Seeing the worry on her face, Mrs. Qin smiled and said: "Your father came back early, and went out because of something else. It's getting late, you've been tired for a long time, hurry back and rest." Pinch her soft face, "Don't use this to stay in bed tomorrow morning."

"Who's stuck in bed?" Lin Lang wrinkled her nose and hummed.The wind outside the window became stronger, the bamboo branches swayed messily, and the cool wind swished in. It was obvious that there was going to be a good rain.She knelt on the couch and leaned out to close the window, then bent down to stick to Qin's lower abdomen, and said with a smile: "Little brother said that I am tired, mother should go to bed early." To pass the time, I left in peace.

When he got back to the residence, he called Jin Xiu who stayed at home and asked her when the master and wife would return.

Jinxiu said: "Master will be back in the afternoon. Madame came back late, probably only entered the house at sunset, she said that she was in a good mood today, and went to the street with Da Furen to pick out some silk and satin, and wanted to make a bellyband for the young master .”

Lin Lang then asked, "Why isn't Daddy at home?"

"Sister Huaping came back some time later and said that Miss Cui was ill. Ma'am and the others are not here, so Huaping begged the master to take care of her." Jinxiu helped Linlang take off the jewelry and distributed it, and suddenly said in surprise: "Miss What about the magnolia pearl flower?"

Lin Lang glanced at the dressing table, and sure enough, a bead flower was missing. It was fastened tightly so it would not be lost easily. Today, walking through the lotus lake, did it get knocked off?But she didn't care about it right now, so she said casually, "It's probably lost. What's wrong with that Miss Cui?"

"This servant doesn't know." Jinxiu slowly helped her untangle her hair, Linlang closed her eyes, and that delicate and charming figure floated up.Are you sure you have no good intentions?Taking advantage of Qin's absence and He Wenzhan having had a drink, he invited him over, but he hasn't come back yet.

There was a rumbling sound outside the window, and raindrops fell finely, crackling on the window paper.Candles were already lit in the room, and it was shaking slightly. Gradually, the sound of rain became more and more urgent, and the sound of swishing and swishing filled the ears.Lin Lang originally liked the leisurely mood of rain beating plantains, but now she has no thoughts at all.

With such a heavy rain, even if He Wenzhan wanted to go back home, he might not be able to come back tonight.

Before going to bed, Jinxiu was sent to the front to ask quietly, and it turned out that He Wenzhan hadn't returned home yet.Linlang tossed and turned for a long time and couldn't fall asleep. Thinking that Qin Shi's body and mind were heavy, it should be equally difficult to sleep, so she simply got up, wrapped in a robe and ran to the front yard with an umbrella, coquettishly huddling with Qin Shi asleep.

It is rare for the mother and daughter to sleep together. Lin Lang likes the anecdotes hidden in Qin's belly, and pesters her to tell stories after gossiping for a while.Qin had nothing to do with her daughter, so she could only rely on her and told interesting stories. Her voice was soft and pleasant, gradually covering up the intermittent rain outside, which made people feel at ease.

A good night's sleep.

The next morning, Lin Lang woke up amidst a flurry of noise.
