History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 169

The next day Linlang went to Xu Mansion to visit Xu Xiang, because Xu Xiang once praised how clever and cute the little mink was, so Linlang looked forward to it.The female mink gave birth to four cubs, two of the stronger ones were released back to the wild by Xu Lang, and the remaining two were quite thin, Xu Lang just stayed to raise them.Now that they have grown for a month or two, they are much stronger, with slender bodies, purple-black fur, and are very cute.

Xu Xiang liked to tease them when she was in Mobei, and now she is keeping two minks with her.

Because one of the two little guys is very active and the other is very quiet, Xu Xiang named them two names in an easy-to-understand way-moving and quiet.The male one is very active, which fits Xu Xiang's temperament very well, and the other one is a little quieter, which is suitable for Linlang to keep.However, Lin Lang didn't have anyone around who knew how to raise minks, so she had to send someone over to learn from her, and took advantage of this spare time to prepare things for raising minks.

When the little sisters were teasing Shuang Diao, Xu Lang was watching from the side, with a smile on his lips.

Lin Lang's wedding date is set in March next year, and it's already the end of October, so it takes four months to prepare.Because the Qin family originally planned to keep her until she was fourteen or fifteen years old, and the dowry and other things were not prepared, so she had to be busy at the moment.

The Xu family asked someone to see the date, and after discussing with the He family, they set it on the tenth day of March.After the wedding date is set, it is unavoidable to have a banquet for those who are acquainted with each other. The Xu family had already given a gift before. Now that the emperor bestows a marriage is a matter of honor, another generous gift was prepared immediately.

The adults of the two families are busy with preparations, and Lin Lang is not idle here.

After marrying, she is the daughter-in-law of others. Although the Qin family is reluctant to marry her at a young age, the emperor's will has come and cannot be violated.Lin Lang was spoiled and pampered. Although the Qin family had sporadically mentioned how to get along with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the past few years, they had never taught them in a serious way. It was inevitable to teach them now, and asked Lin Lang to learn how to be a housekeeper from the eldest lady. Things made Lin Lang busy like a spinning top.

In November, when the first snow fell, Xu Xiang came to invite him to enjoy the snow in Donglin Temple outside the city.Because He Xuanji seldom went out after recovering, and now that her worries have dissipated, she was also invited to enjoy the snow this time. In addition, the Jiang family may not have gone out for a long time, and it turned out to be a trip for the two families in the end—

Mrs. Xu took Xu Xiang, Xu Huan, and Lin Lang's future sister-in-law Hu Shi, and the eldest wife of the He family went with Qin Shi, Jiang's mother and son, He Xuanji, Lin Lang, and He Weichen.There is Zhuangzi of the He family near Donglin Temple. The eldest lady sent someone to clean up early. A group of nearly ten carriages, plus two healthy horses of Xu Lang's brother and sister, left the city in a mighty way.

It is a common practice for many families to go out of the city to enjoy the snow on the first snow day. Groups of maids and servants can be seen everywhere on the official roads, surrounded by the host's carriages and horses, which is like the excitement of spring outings.

Donglin Temple is located in the eastern suburbs. It is a thousand-year-old temple surrounded by winding streams and towering stone peaks. The most wonderful thing is that there are red maple leaves that have not yet fallen, against the vast white snow, which is unique.The Zhuangzi of the He family was not far from the temple, and the group settled there. The Zhuangzi had already prepared water and food, and after a short rest, Da Furen, Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Hu went to the temple to worship Buddha. Lin Lang, Xu Xiang, Xu Huan, and He Xuanji didn't have much enthusiasm for this, so they split into two groups.

Although the Xu and He families are family friends, Xu Huan and Lin Lang do not have much contact. One is that Xu Huan and He Xuanji are similar in age, and there are few opportunities to get along with Lin Lang. There are all kinds of noble girls in the circle, even if they get together at a banquet, she still has to greet others first.

But after all, they are acquaintances, and Xu Xiang is here, and the four of them have a good atmosphere together.

The farmland around Zhuangzi is surrounded by flowers and willows. At the moment, the dead branches and wide ground are covered with snow, shining brightly under the sunlight, which is very interesting.Going forward is a hunting ground. According to the news, Nanping Princess has set up a snow and horse racing party here today, and many noble girls from Beijing have come.Although it is easy to slip after snow, the horse gallops in the snow, the white mist exhaled is mixed with the crystal snow, and the sound of creaking and creaking is also a different kind of scenery, and it also tests the skill of riding a horse. few.
