Madam Hou

Chapter 70

The bright red brocade curtain moved, and was pulled away forcefully by a big hand. Lin Fengqi got out of the curtain, stretched himself, and then showed a satiated expression.But Yinniang, who had been tortured overnight, was not so lucky, sitting on the bed, so tired that she couldn't even open her eyes.

Lin Fengqi looked back at his wife who was still dozing off, the rain and dew had been pouring all night, the lingering charm was still there, her cheeks were pink, as delicate and beautiful as a peony with dewdrops in the morning.At this moment, she was sitting cross-legged on the bed, squinting her eyes, her head fell straight down like a chicken pecking rice, and her long eyelashes were constantly trembling like butterfly wings.

Lin Fengqi smiled happily, then took advantage of her not paying attention, walked over to support her head, kissed her deeply, and then quickly left before she could react, pretending that nothing happened After ordering the maid outside to come in and serve, Tuliu Yinniang sat on the bed with a puzzled and then shy expression.

The maids filed in and helped them wash and dress.After bathing, Yinniang helped her put on the appropriate bridal clothes and put on the appropriate bridal makeup with the help of blue flowers and green vines.When Qingteng finally helped her put on a pair of pearl earrings the size of lotus rice, Yinniang looked up at the young woman reflected in the brass mirror, wearing pearls and emerald rings all over her body, the gold hairpin on her head was waving, and her brows and eyes were full of spring. After the embellishment of rouge on the cheeks, it looks more delicate and vivid.

On the other side, Lin Fengqi stretched out his hand refreshedly, and let Qingwu and Fangzhou help him put on his clothes.

Qing Wu, who was standing in front of Lin Fengqi to straighten his collar, raised his head and glanced at his master in front of him. He has a handsome figure, a handsome face, and a pair of peach blossom-like eyes that seem to be seductive, making the woman who looks up at him fascinated.Her heart skipped a beat, she just felt that there is no such beautiful person in this world.Her hands seemed to slide over the skin of his chest, and when he trembled and looked down at her, she smiled at him with spring in her eyes.

Lin Fengqi was furious, avoided her hand on his chest, and gave her a hard look.Qingwu panicked, and knelt down on the ground, looking at Lin Fengqi with red eyes, and shouted aggrievedly: "Master!"

Yin Niang, who was arranging her makeup in front of the mirror, saw this scene in the mirror and asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

Lin Fengqi didn't speak, but looked at Qingwu with cold eyes. Fangzhou, who was standing at the side helping Lin Fengqi straighten his sleeves, saw her, hurried over, kicked Qingwu lightly with her foot, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Don't go down quickly, You can't even do small things well, so what use are you." Then he winked at Qingwu desperately.

Qingwu heard Fangzhou's words and didn't move, until he saw Lin Fengqi's colder eyes, he twisted his sleeves unwillingly, kowtowed to Lin Fengqi, and said, "Your servant will leave." Then he was unwilling Reluctant to go out.When he was walking, he met Yinniang who was walking over the dressing table, knelt down and blessed Fuli, and said: "Young Mistress." Before Yinniang could shout, she stood up and went out.

Seeing Qing Teng standing behind Yin Niang, she frowned. Miss may not have seen what happened just now, but she saw it clearly.On the morning of the second day of the master's marriage, seducing the master in front of the new mistress, only such a person with no rules of respect and no brains can do it.

Lin Fengqi looked at Qingwu who was going out, frowned, and said: "It's really becoming more and more unruly. After the wedding period, let the mother send her out."

Yinniang went over and hugged Lin Fengqi's arm, and complained: "Oh, it's boring and unlucky to talk about this when you're just married. If you don't want to be served, why did you let him into your house?"

At this time, Yinniang had already combed the woman's hair in a bun, a short bun with a ruby-studded buyao inserted on it.Although Bu Yao was beautiful, she did not hide the brilliance of the person she was wearing. Lin Fengqi only felt that, against the backdrop of gems, Yin Niang was even more radiant.

Lin Fengqi pinched Yinniang's chin and said, "Little vinegar jar, why do I feel sour after hearing this."

Yin Niang twisted her husband's arm and said angrily, "I'm just jealous, it's too late for you to dislike her now."

"Who says I hate it, I like it very much." After speaking, he took Yiniang's hand and said, "Let's go to the middle hall, so as not to make father and mother wait for a long time."

The two of them arrived at the central hall with a group of maidservants. Mrs. Lin Hou and Lord Lin Hou were already sitting at the top, and other uncles, aunts, young masters and ladies, as well as aunts who came back from marriage to watch the ceremony, were standing or sitting. Wait in the nave.Seeing Yin Niang and Lin Fengqi coming in, Liang Shi, who always adjusts the atmosphere, said with a smile, "Our Eldest Young Master and New Young Mistress are here!"

Yin Niang lowered her head shyly, and came in one step behind her husband.

A maid spread brocade mats on the ground, and Yinniang and Lin Fengqi knelt on them. First, Lin Fengqi served tea to Lin Houye, and then Yinniang also took the tea brought by the maids, raised it over her head, and handed it to Lin Houye: "Grandfather , drink tea, please!"

Lin Houye is a background board in the Hou Mansion, and he will show up when he is needed.He has never had any big ideas. At first, he thought that this daughter-in-law's family background was too low, and she was not worthy of his family, but later Mrs. Lin Hou agreed that marrying Yin Niang would help his son's future, so he would I also feel good.Anyway, Mrs. Linhou is in charge of the family, and she never misses what Mrs. Linhou said.

At this time, he picked up his daughter-in-law's tea, took a sip casually, said a few words indifferently: "Serve the prince well." Then he handed over the tea that Mrs. Lin Hou had prepared for him earlier. Red envelope.

Yinniang took the red envelope and said, "Remember father-in-law's teaching!" Then she handed over the shoes and socks she made, and then they served tea to Mrs. Lin Hou.Mrs. Lin Hou is much more sincere than Lin Hou Ye. She smiled at Yin Niang with satisfaction, took the tea in her hand, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Good boy, you and your husband should work together and get married as soon as possible." Open branches and leaves for the family." After speaking, he handed a gold-painted box to Yinniang, inside which were a pair of gold hairpins with pearls held in place by dragons and phoenixes, a pair of gold and jade rings in the style of pomegranates, and a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets.

Yin Niang took it and weighed it with her hand, she just felt that it was not light, it should be worth a lot.It was not easy to take it out for research at this time, but it was handed directly to Qingteng behind him.After Yinniang thanked Mrs. Linhou, she also gave her shoes and socks.

Toasted in-laws tea, followed by meeting uncles and aunts.

First Mrs. Lin, Dong Shi, did not need to kneel down and salute uncles and aunts. At this time, Yinniang just bowed her knees and bowed to Dong Shi, saying: "I have seen my aunt!"

Mrs. Dong helped her up and said: "My family, you don't need to be so polite." He gave her a pair of emerald green jade bracelets, which were of excellent quality.Dong continued: "This is my dowry. This color matches you young people very well. You can keep it."

Yin Niang thanked her.Then he gave Lin Erye and Mrs. Liang a blessing. Lin Erye and Mrs. Lin have always been close to Lin Houye and Mrs. Lin Hou. Liang also likes Yinniang, so he will not embarrass her at this time.Liang stretched out his hand to hold Yinniang's hand, then looked Yinniang's whole body up and down, and said with a smile: "A person is more beautiful than a flower, and she has a good color, but now it looks so hard to open her eyes. "As he spoke, he turned to Mrs. Lin Hou and said, "The third sibling is so lucky to have hired such a good daughter-in-law. They all say that the third sibling has vicious eyes. Hand palm is good." Brother Li is the second son of Mr. Liang and Mr. Lin.

Mrs. Lin Hou smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, you are the most vicious when you open your mouth, and you can say that the dead are alive."

Yin Niang pursed her lips and smiled beside her.Liang said: "I only treat you as a younger brother and sister, you are praising me." Then he handed a box containing a gold hairpin with cloud and phoenix pattern to Yinniang.When this golden hairpin was taken out, not only Yinniang, but also Mrs. Lin Hou was a little stunned.

The gold hairpin is made of gold wire to form a grass-like substrate, on which a three-dimensional wishful cloud pattern is made with gold wire, and a phoenix soars in it.Both the phoenix and the cloud pattern are made of gold wire as thin as a hair.Such a superb craftsmanship was probably only mastered by Master Tang from the Tangjiapu back then. Unfortunately, after Master Tang passed away, none of his children could learn to master his craft.Rare things are precious, and the jewelry made by Master Tang in those days became more and more precious.

Liang's concubine was born, and although her biological mother was favored, such jewelry was probably a good thing in her bottom of the chest, so she gave it to Yinniang at this time. On the other hand, it can be seen that she really likes Yinniang.

Yin Niang saluted Liang's family sincerely, and said, "It's costing Auntie!"

Liang patted Yinniang's hand and said: "I will wear this hairpin in the future and let my aunt have a look, such a good thing, only your appearance can hold it down."

Yin Niang said: "Yes, I will definitely wear it in the future and show it to my aunt."

Liang Shi nodded with a smile.Yin Niang then went down again, saluting Fourth Master Lin and Mrs. Guo Shi, Mrs. Lin Fourth.Compared with the Liang family, the gift from the fourth wife Guo is relatively ordinary. It is a gold-encrusted jade butterfly hairpin, and the style is relatively old.Guo Shi said: "I am no better than my sister-in-law and second sister-in-law. There are good things in the dowry. Although this hairpin is not expensive, it is also a good thing that I can get. Don't dislike it."

Mrs. Guo is the daughter of an eighth-rank Beijing official, and her dowry is not generous. Fourth master Lin is a maidservant who gave birth to a son, and her biological mother made mistakes.After the family was separated, the two lived only on the allocated land, and the family was not well off.Fourth Master Lin was not close to Second Master Lin and Marquis Lin. The former Uncle Lin would have pitied him, but he left early.Because of this, after Third Master Lin took over as a nobleman, Fourth Master Lin seldom walked around in the Marquis Mansion, even with Mrs. Guo seldom coming.Yin Niang didn't have much feelings for Guo Shi, but when she said this today, it always made people feel like crying for poverty, which made people feel that it was not so good.Mrs. Lin Hou frowned unhappily after hearing her words.

But after all, they are elders, and it is not easy for Yinniang to say what Guo Shi said.After accepting her gift, he bowed his knees and thanked her.

Next are the young masters and ladies of the Lin family.

Brother Hu from the first house; two young masters and one concubine from the second house, Feng Bing, Feng Li and Feng Fu, and Feng Bing's wife Luo Shi; Zhi and Fengying, a young master, a young master and a young lady of the fourth room, Fenglin, Fengchen and Fengruo.

First, Liang's eldest son Lin Fengbing and his wife Luo Shi, Lin Fengbing is older than Lin Fengqi, and Yinniang and Lin Fengqi need to salute them both.Luo Shi is the youngest daughter of Luo Yushi, and the Yushi is a second-rank official. Originally, as the second concubine of the Lin family and separated from the Hou's family, she could not be the first daughter of the Luo family. It is said that it was because Lin Fengbing returned from renting out , rescued Mrs. Luo and Ms. Luo who went to Shangxiang to meet the gangsters. Mrs. Luo felt that the savior was a good person. The Liang family was good at management. Hearing that the relationship between the Hou family was doing well, he decided to marry his young daughter to Lin Fengbing.Luo Shi's temperament is like Liang Shi's, and he is also a long-sleeved and flattering person at dances. At this time, Yinniang saluted her, and Luo Shi smiled and helped Yinniang up, and praised a few words about his younger siblings, they are indeed beautiful, and they are a match made in heaven with the son, and so on. I gave Yinniang a pair of red gold hair.Yin Niang said thank you.

Then there are the remaining young masters and ladies who have never been married. Yinniang is the eldest sister-in-law, and now they need to meet the ceremony in turn, and Yinniang will present the meeting gift.What Yinniang gave to the girls was a handkerchief embroidered by each of them, while the boys each got an inkstone to avoid suspicion.

Feng Zhi was still as submissive as before, and after taking the handkerchief and thanking Yin Niang, she stopped talking.Feng Ying has been disciplined by Mrs. Lin Hou very effectively this year. Now that she sees Yin Niang, although she is still unhappy on the face, she doesn't dare to cross-eyed like before. She took the handkerchief and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law." ', I no longer look at Yinniang.The remaining Feng Fu and Feng Ruo, the concubines of the second and fourth rooms, rarely see Yin Niang, and after saluting and thanking them according to the rules, they don't say anything.

Although Brother Hu of the Dafang also lives in the Hou Mansion with Mrs. Lin, Lin Fenghu often goes to his maternal ancestor's house. In the Hou Mansion for more than a year, the number of times I saw this fourth young master can be counted on ten fingers.

At this time, he took the Duanyan that Yinniang handed over, and looked at Yinniang with a puzzled expression, until Yinniang felt hairy and thought that he had done something wrong. It was not until a while later that he lowered his head and took the Duanyan. , thanked Yinniang gently.

Then there is Lin Fengqi's younger brother, Lin Fengshan. Lin Fengshan and Lin Fengshan are both 16 years old. Lively and innocent like a child, seeing that Yiniang gave him a Duan inkstone, he laughed and disliked Yiniang for being petty, and finally he was beaten by Lin Fengqi to calm down.

Finally, there are the young masters of the second and fourth bedrooms.Everyone has seen the gift, and after the meeting gift is given, the confession banquet is considered to be over.After recognizing their relatives, Master Lin Hou and Mrs. Lin Hou took them to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors. When they came out of the ancestral hall, it was already noon.

The maid and mother-in-law at home had already prepared the noon table, and the four householders ate together.Then Second Master Lin and Mrs. Liang, Fourth Master Lin and Mrs. Guo each took their children back, and Mrs. Dong also led Brother Hu away.Mrs. Lin Hou held Yinniang's hand and said a few words, but when she saw her son who was impatiently urging her to finish speaking, Mrs. Lin Hou couldn't help scolding "unfilial son" in her heart, But she also knew that it was time for her son and daughter-in-law to mix the honey with honey, so she told Yinniang to take good care of the son's food and daily life, and let them go back after they bloomed as soon as possible.

On the way back to Mudetang, Lin Fengqi wished that he could grow a pair of wings and fly back immediately with Yinniang in his arms.Wrapping her arms around Yinniang's waist, through the bright red cloak outside, she moved her hands to other places to touch from time to time. At first, Yinniang would wave her hands to avoid him, but later she saw that his hand was hiding from this side again. When I went to the other side, I couldn't hide from him, and seeing that there was a cloak blocking the maids, it was not easy to see what he was doing, but her moving around easily attracted the attention of the maids, so she let it go with him.

But when Lin Fengqi saw that Yinniang was not moving, he became more courageous, and even put his hand inside her clothes.The place touched by the tentacles was as delicate as fat, which made his heart itch.I also saw her struggling to push his hand away, raising her head and staring angrily at him, her almond eyes were wide open, her cheeks were flushed, she didn't know whether it was from shame or provocation, the way she dared not speak out was even more annoying. It made his heart itch.

Yin Niang stared at her husband with her round eyes, and said angrily in a low voice: "Big pervert, you little rascal, quickly take your hands away, the maids in the back will see it, how bad it will affect you, it's embarrassing to death. "The more he said, the lower his voice became.

Lin Fengqi was unmoved, put his mouth close to her ear, blew lightly on her neck, and then said ambiguously: "Don't worry, they can't see it because of the cloak."

The little maids behind are all at the age of the governor, so they just can't see them, but seeing the movements under the cloaks of the two little masters in front, can't they imagine what is going on inside?A group of maidservants, including Qingteng, who always thought she was thick-skinned, blushed, bowed their heads and slowed down.

A group of people in this room slowly walked away in the direction of Mu Detang, while on the other side, Mrs. Lin, Lin Fengxuan and maid Bingyue watched the figures that were gradually going away, and stopped involuntarily.Mrs. Lin looked at the figure that was gradually going away, and said with an unclear expression: "Feng Qi and Yin Niang's relationship is quite good."

Lin Fengxuan, who was standing next to her, also looked at the two figures. Hearing what his mother said, his eyes drooped, but he didn't speak.

Bingyue withdrew her gaze, and said to the lady: "That's right, before getting married, it was as if honey was mixed with oil. Now that you've just got married, it's better than before."

Mrs. Lin said calmly: "It's good if you have a good relationship, and you can give birth to a son-in-law earlier."

As he said that, he looked back at the only son beside him. At this time, he was still looking at the two figures that were gradually moving away in front of him.The eldest lady frowned, and said to her son: "Brother Hu, you are getting older, it's time to talk about marriage. I plan to discuss with your uncle in the next few days to settle your marriage. What do you think?" Although it was a question, it was like a notice that the eldest lady did not intend to get an answer from her son.

Lin Fengxuan seemed to have just reacted, and said in a panic: "Mother, the child is still young, it won't be too late to say goodbye after I pass the exam."

Mrs. Lin said: "There are always no fixed numbers for the examination of merit. You have to wait until the year of the monkey to get married after you have passed the examination. Besides, getting married will hinder your examination of merit. Brother Hu, you are you." Father's only son, bears the responsibility of inheriting your father's bloodline, don't let mother down."

Lin Fengxuan lowered his head and did not speak, but his mouth was pursed to show his stubbornness.Mrs. Lin sighed in her heart, maybe it was because she was strict with her since she was a child. Although this son was filial to her, he was not very close to her.
