History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 5

The famous White Crane Tower outside the city is built along the river. It is two stories high. There are some small and elegant rooms separated by colorful and unique screens. There are wine, tea, preserved fruits and exquisite dishes. It is the first choice of officials and officials.

Linlang's family of three traveled in two carriages, with 30 people behind them.When going upstairs, He Wenzhan took two servants with him, besides the two big servant girls, there were two mothers who followed closely besides the two servants of the Qin family, while Lin Lang brought Jinping and Jinxiu, and the rest of the servants were sent to the nearby tea shop rest.

The view from the White Crane Tower is wide, the tassels of the two trees are in full bloom, and the delicate flower branches climb up, exuding a faint fragrance.He Wenzhan chose to sit in the private room, just in time for the clear weather and bright weather, the distant mountains and the near water are in sight, and the open scenery is very poetic.He and his wife are both familiar with poems and books, and they can't help but pair lines of poems in this scenery. Occasionally, they think of a good line through the same mind, and He Wenzhan laughs loudly.

Lin Lang was asked a few questions at first, but later she couldn't bear to disturb the affection, so she took Jinping and Jin Xiu to the river to tread water for fun.

It was probably because she was depressed for a long time in her previous life, Lin Lang only felt that the world was open and bright when she went out now, and she wished she could have some fun in the wilderness right away.

From a distance, I saw students from several colleges gathering on the other side of the river, playing music and drinking cups around a small stream.Lin Lang's eyes were sharp, and she saw a familiar figure at a glance - a tall and broad figure, handsome features, although she was the same age as the other students, she was extraordinarily tall and strong.Compared with the bookishness of other people, he has an indescribable spirit due to his years of martial arts practice, which makes him stand out from the crowd.

Xu Lang.

Lin Lang played with the slender grass in her hand, and smiled with her lips drawn together.

The Xu family and the He family are family friends, and Xu Lang and He Weijie are even more congenial, so Lin Lang and Xu Lang often met each other when they were young. Although they are not very close, they are not shallow.In the previous life, Lin Lang entrusted her to someone else, not long after marrying into the Zhu family, the Zhu family raised troops and captured various places in the south of the Yangtze River, and then came to the capital.The Xu family guarded Mobei, heard the news and went south to rescue. Along the way, they suppressed all the soldiers and horses in Sidong in the north to open the official road, but in the end they were betrayed by the villain, and they were defeated in the battle of defending the imperial city. They failed to repel the Zhu family as they wished. .

At that time Xu Lang was the commander-in-chief. Although Lin Lang had never seen his heroic appearance, she had heard of his reputation.Later, when Linlang was trapped in the deep palace, Xu Lang led his men to break into the palace to the outside of the Chenhua Palace. Although they failed, Linlang remembered this love.

She was standing there, Xu Lang on the other side looked up and saw her.He couldn't walk over in front of everyone, so he asked questions with his mouth, probably because he was surprised why Lin Lang was here alone.After Lin Lang returned the salute, she pointed to her parents on the White Crane Tower to show that she was going out with her family, and Xu Lang turned his head away.

Lin Lang was still treading water and breaking grass by the river, and walked around with Jinping and Jin Xiu for a long time before returning to the White Crane Tower.

I had a great time this day, and after returning to the mansion, I went to the old lady's place to order a Mao, and then went back to the Lanling Courtyard to rest.

He Jinyu had scheduled to go to Zhuangzi on the ninth day of April. Although Lin Lang felt disgusted with her and even retained hatred from her previous life, hearing that she was sick in bed, she had to go and see her.So when she came out of Qingyuan Hall the next day, she held He Xuanji's hand and asked, "Eldest Sister, shall we go and see Second Sister?"

He Xuanji is 16 years old this year, the eldest daughter of the first wife, she is naturally generous and generous.She originally meant this, and nodded upon hearing the words, then turned around and casually asked He Linglong and He Liuli who were following closely behind: "Third Sister, Eighth Sister, are you going?"

These two were born to Aunt Bai in the old man's house. Although He Xuanji didn't like their manners, thinking of the old man's face, he would not deliberately neglect them on weekdays, so as not to offend others.

Aunt Bai was born well, and she won the heart of the elder. He Linglong grew up like her mother, so she was inevitably loved. From this, she became more energetic and felt that she was not much worse than He Xuanji. Perfunctory.At this moment, He Linglong was chatting happily with He Liuli, and said after hearing the words: "Big sister, you go, we have already been there yesterday!"

Although He Linglong was not close to He Xuanji, he walked frequently with He Jinyu, the second roommate, on weekdays. He Liuli was her follower, and when he heard that He Jinyu was sick, he ran to show love.Seeing He Xuanji ask now, she seemed to be showing off her intimacy.

He Xuanji didn't really invite her, but when he saw her like this, he just sneered.But she didn't take it to heart, there was a difference between concubine and concubines, Mrs. Kuang still took care of the housework, if she wanted to play He Linglong, it would be like playing with her.

He Xuanji had kindly taught these two concubine sisters before, but He Linglong was too conceited, and instead sued the elder sister, saying that the elder sister bullied her because of her status.Naturally, He Xuanji would not be affected by such a black spot, but it was indeed chilling. From then on, as long as He Linglong didn't act excessively, she would not care.

What's more, He Xuanji has already agreed with others, and now she is busy learning how to be a housekeeper from the eldest lady, so she is not in the mood to pay attention to this self-satisfied concubine.

The two of them were happy and quiet, and went to Wangchun Courtyard where He Jinyu lived.

Go out from the corner door of Qingyuan Hall, and walk through the arch on the east side of the corridor, which is Wangchun Courtyard.The two sisters walked in hand in hand, and saw that the Spring Courtyard was already busy.The next day is the ninth day, He Jinyu is picky, and he is not satisfied with the left and right things. Right now, they are not ready, and a group of people are ordering things, and the yard is full of chaos.
