Finest Servant

When he got up early in the morning, Lin Wanrong took Qiao Qiao to go out. As soon as he arrived at the door of the room, he met the eldest lady. Xiao Yuruo's pretty cheeks were slightly haggard, and there were bloodshot eyes in her eyes, as if she hadn't slept well last night.

"Miss, good morning!" Lin Wanrong said with a smile, holding her clever little hand. Last night, he was full of prestige, and this morning, he still has a pillar up to the sky, sturdy and invincible. Qiaoqiao, this little girl is cute and charming, they are like a fish in water, like water to raise fish, they are unspeakably happy.

"It's early, it's already three in the sun!" The eldest lady gave him a look and hummed.

"Oh, it's all 'sun' for three poles? It's too rude! Don't worry, Miss, I'll get up after two 'sun' poles! Lin Wanrong's heart is itchy, and there is an inexplicable smile on his face.

"It's better to get up every day, you bad guy! I've never seen you torture people like this!" Miss Lin Wanrong didn't know what Lin Wanrong meant, seeing him winking at her, the smile on her face was indescribably weird, In a panic, a red cloud flew up on his face, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said.

"Miss Xiao, it's me who got up late, and I've troubled the big brother, don't blame him." Qiaoqiao blushed and said embarrassedly.

"Sister Qiaoqiao, don't protect him too much, or you will only have him bully. How about it, did you have a good time last night?" The eldest lady seemed to be intentional, but also said unintentionally.

"Okay, okay!" Qiaoqiao lowered her head and replied, her face was already stained with layers of rouge.

Why did I ask this, the eldest spit lightly, her face flushed, she peeked at Lin San, saw him looking at herself with a smile, remembering the messy voice last night, she hurriedly turned her head and said: "Qiaoqiao Sister, where are you going?"

"Big brother said to take me to see the house. Miss, come with us!" Qiaoqiao raised her head, her beautiful little face was full of excitement and anticipation.

"Look at the house!" The eldest lady felt a faint sense of loss in her heart. He said softly, "Go ahead. I still have things to do. The thousand bottles of perfume that my mother ordered from Jinling will be on sale today. I can't get away from it."

Seeing her deep resentment, Lin Wanrong took her by the hand and said, "Perfume is for sale. It's enough to have Mrs. Song and the others to keep it. You don't need to do it yourself."

He glanced around Gui Gui Gui Chong Chong Chong Chong's surroundings, and said to the eldest young lady, "Go and choose a room with a big bed, so that we won't be afraid of falling."

Xiao Yuruo's face turned pink, she took a sip, and said in a subtle voice, "Whoever wants to sleep with you, I will oppose you the bad guy the most."

Lin Wanrong laughed three times,

The eldest lady's face was red and her ears were red, she gave him a stern look, her heart was flustered, and she ran away hurriedly without knowing the way to the Kongfu.

"What are you doing in the kitchen, Miss?" Qiaoqiao asked strangely when she saw Xiao Yuruo's hurried steps.

"Oh, maybe she's changed her temper recently and wants to be a good wife and mother." Lin Wanruo secretly laughed and said casually.

Qiaoqiao glanced at him with a smile, and said lightly, "Brother, if you marry Second Aunt Xiao and then Sister Xiao, our two will merge. If you open a restaurant and sell incense, then no one in Jinling can compare. "

"This proposal is very constructive, I'll think about it. However, baby, I have an affair with Yushuang and the eldest lady, aren't you jealous?" Lin Wanrong said with a smile.

"What kind of adultery, it's ugly!" Qiaoqiao said angrily: "The two young ladies of the Xiao family are the phoenix among people, as long as they are nice to you. What if you marry them all? As for me—" She A hint of sadness flashed in his eyes, "I'm just a poor peasant girl, how can I compare with the two young ladies.

Big brother, Qiaoqiao doesn't want anything, I just want to be by your side all my life and be satisfied. "

"You little girl. What nonsense are you talking about. When it comes to being smart and capable, you are no worse than anyone else. You are my good wife. Even if Yushuang and the others enter the door, they will call you sister, understand? "Lin Wanrong said sternly.

With tears in Qiaoqiao's eyes, she hummed softly, and held onto her elder brother's arm tightly, with infinite joy in her heart. After a few steps out of the house, I happened to meet Mrs. Xiao. Qiaoqiao and Mrs. Xiao went to Beijing all the way. They cared and cared for each other. They had deep feelings for each other. They hurried up and grabbed Mrs. Xiao's hand and said, "Madam, my eldest brother and I are going to see the house, you go with them!"

Mrs. Xiao changed into a long dress, lightly applied makeup, her eyebrows were light and her face was light, mature and charming, graceful and luxurious, after listening to the clever words, she smiled slightly, and said to Lin Wanrong: "Lin San, I heard Yuruo say yesterday. Now, you are really talented, not only have you won the Hus and Gaoli in a row, and won glory for our great China, but even the emperor values ​​you so much, bestowing you on important positions and conferring land and land, what a joy!"

"Where, I'm just a small sapling. I'm bathed in the sunshine and rain of my wife. I grow healthily and vigorously every day. It's all thanks to my wife's hard work and cultivation." Mr. Lin's flattery offensive came as soon as he opened his mouth, without any effort. .

Madam covered her lips and smiled softly: "You are not afraid of sore teeth when you talk. What sunshine and rain are you talking about? I'm just like the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva who saves the suffering."

"Isn't it true, Madam's kind light shines everywhere, sprinkles rain and dew, and is a little more gentle and beautiful than Guanyin Bodhisattva." Lin Wanrong said with a smile.

It is no exaggeration for Lin San to say that he can fascinate women all over the world. Mrs. Xiao's face was reddish, she covered her lips and smiled lightly, her plump breasts trembled slightly, like the splendid branches of a tree. She glanced at Qiaoqiao and said with a smile: "Since it is a kind invitation from Qiaoqiao, then I will touch the brilliance of Lord Lin and go to see the majestic mansion rewarded by the emperor! But—"

She changed the subject and said, "Lin San, although you are an official, my Xiao family still has a contract with you! You can't lose your trust!"

Lin Wanrong waved his hand and laughed loudly: "Madam, what is the foreign language! Who am I, Lin San? I have to do what I say. When I come out, I want to be righteous. Now, what is our relationship, it is a family, I am a small servant in the Xiao family, accompany my wife every day, and I am as happy as a fairy, not a hundred times better than being an official!"

"Ning **, don't lose faith", how can this person say anything? While the lady was listening to someone cheating, she had already ordered Side to drive a carriage.

Qiaoqiao helped his wife into the carriage, Lin Wanrong followed them, and opened the curtain with one hand just as he was about to enter, suddenly came over, the wife's wing. I can't get through. It's her daughter's boudoir, which I often visit.

"Lin San, why didn't you come in?" Mrs. Xiao raised the curtain and said with a smile.

"This, it's not very good! I am a very polite person." Master Lin smiled hypocritically on his face, pretending to delay. One hand has drawn the curtain, and is about to go inside.

With a clatter, the car curtain fell, hitting the bridge of Mr. Lin's nose. The lady put it inside: "Lin San, you are a servant of the Ministry of Personnel, and you have such filial piety. It is really rare. If so, I will not embarrass you. Four virtues, let's drive."

"Yes, ma'am!" Si De flicked his whip, and the carriage ticked forward. Master Lin rubbed his nose angrily. He didn't let me in, he said it, and he deliberately ridiculed me. This trick is enough, the eldest miss and her mother, she is indeed more difficult than the eldest miss!

Lin Wanrong was sitting next to the four virtues, and the two rushed forward in a carriage. Lin Wanrong had never been to the house given by the emperor, but he only knew that it was located near Dongzhen Gate. Not small in size. Although he has been in the capital for some time, he has not yet visited the capital. Today, taking advantage of his spare time, he is not in a hurry to hurry.

Near Dongzhimen, Lin Wanrong was not familiar with the journey and was looking around. But Side pulled an old man next to him and said, "Master, do you know where the underworld residence of Lord Lin is?"

"Lord Lin?" The old man said, "Ah, Lord Lin?"

"It's the newly appointed deputy secretary of the Ministry of Personnel, Lord Lin Sanlin!" The four virtues said with reverence on their faces.

"Deputy Servant of the Ministry of Officials?" The old man smiled disdainfully: "This Dongzhimen is several miles around, and either the royal family or the imperial censors live there, and even the scholars from the Wenhua Palace are here. The deputy servant, the official of the sesame and mung bean, who knows where he lives? I will go to Huairou, Tongzhou and look for him, maybe I can find him!"

The master of the four virtues is road blind, and even in Beijing, he turned his head and asked, "Third brother, Huairou, Tongzhou, how to get there? The uncle said that the mandi house is over there!"

Lin Wanrong patted him heavily on the head. This kid was very clever when he was in Jinling. How could he become stupid when he arrived in the capital? Can't you hear this old man mocking me? Damn, the old man who asked for directions at random, also yawned like a toad, this big breath! The deputy minister of the Ministry of Personnel is also considered a minor official, and at least he is also at the level of the deputy department.

Lin Wanrong tilted his head and said unconvincingly: "This old man, why can't I understand what you said? The deputy minister of the Ministry of Personnel is also a minor official? I heard that the servant of the Ministry of Personnel, Mr. Tong, is not a hometown." With the exception of one minister, Lord Ye, only the deputy servant will be appointed."

"There's no choice but to be left with the deputy servants -- seventeen deputy servants left." The old man smiled and said, "This is still a small official department. Among the six departments, which one is not as numerous as the servants? It's far away. There are also the elders of the three pavilions, the bachelors and the masters of the sixth hall, and hundreds of people. What is a small deputy servant of the Ministry of Personnel? The one you are looking for, Mr. Lin, It is estimated that Tongzhou can’t be found, maybe Cangzhou.”

Damn you, the more you talk about it, the more mysterious you are. Is Lao Tzu so unbearable? If you were sent from the capital to Hebei, and if you ask more questions, it is estimated that you will have to directly distribute to Mohe. Why don't you ask the way? As for being hit so hard by you?

He was depressed in his heart, and when he heard a "puff", there was a chuckle in the carriage, and then it stopped. Through the curtain, Lin Wanrong seemed to see Mrs. Xiao's cherry mouth and forcibly held back her smile, her cheeks flushed, and he couldn't help but have a fever when he beat his hands in the face, hehe coughed twice: "Well, let's look for it again. Well, it really won't work, let's make a point in Tongzhou tonight and continue to Cangzhou tomorrow morning."

This time, not only Mrs. Xiao, but even Qiaoqiao chuckled softly, and being with her eldest brother is always so happy.

Lu Xun's house did not meet, so Mrs. and Qiaoqiao simply got off the carriage, and followed Side and Lin San to ask along the way. Mrs. Xiao has been away from Beijing for many years, and she has long been a different person. You can imagine the emotion in her heart. Visiting with Lin San this way, you can not only appreciate the local customs and customs, but also get the memory of Wen girl. This kind of experience has never happened before. Along the way, it is full of interest and taste.

The old man said it was true, the area of ​​Dongzhimen is indeed a wealthy mansion, princes and nobles, and Shangshu Pavilion. All of them are family slaves gathered together, guarded by stone lions, and the palace is extraordinary.

Seeing that Dongzhimen Street was about to be crossed, the rest of the rooms were old mansions with tattered roofs and tiles, but they had never seen the majestic mansions of Lang Lin, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Personnel, not to mention the four virtues and Xiao. Madam. Even Lord Lin himself was discouraged.

Don't play tricks on me, the emperor's father-in-law, you said that you have given a mansion outside Dongzhimen.

"Third brother, third brother!" Just as he was feeling disappointed, he heard Si De exclaimed excitedly: "Third brother, look, the number one in the world, the number one in the world!"

Lin Wanrong swept it and slapped him on the head angrily: "What is the number one in the world, it's mostly because of your age, you can't even count, it's obviously five words, the number one in the world - wait, the number one in the world ,Wow--"

Lord Lin screamed in shock: "This. Could it be that the Lord is my 'mansion'? How fucking rich!"

Mrs. Xiao and Qiaoqiao hurriedly looked up and saw that at the end of the street, there was a vermilion secret door, slightly wider and slightly taller than ordinary people's courtyard doors. On the ground, most of the red glass tiles on the roof and the net beams were damaged and failed miserably. In this mansion, on Dongzhimen Street, this small shabby house is simply the gap between Mao Mao and Phoenix. If it weren't for a plaque hanging on the door, no one would have imagined that the five golden characters "Number One in the World" would shine in the sun. This place turned out to be the "mansion" given to Lord Lin by the emperor!

Lin Wanrong looked up at the five golden characters on the newly hung plaque, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. After all, it was also given by the emperor, so it should be magnified a thousand times for the world to admire! How can such a small plaque be made, and even the words "Former Residence of Prosperity" personally inscribed by Mr. Ye who passed by Ye Shangshu's mansion just now are several times larger than this plaque, what is the decency? What a system! Where is the number one in the world, this is clearly the bottom one in the world.

"Third brother, can we get in?" Seeing that the third brother's expression was dull and his enthusiasm was so different from the first time, he asked cautiously, fearing that he would touch the third brother's bad head.

"Come in! Of course I have to enter!" Lin Wanrong said without hesitation: "I don't think the mother is ugly, and the dog doesn't think the family is poor. Although the cold cellar is broken, it can shelter from the wind and rain. Two ladies, let's return the home together!"

With a sweet smile, Mrs. Xiao couldn't help shaking her head. The child, who was hit and confused, started talking nonsense.

"Third brother, the dog doesn't think the poor family is talking about a dog, but I'm not a dog!" Si De said stupidly.

The third brother rushed to the crown angrily: "I'm not a dog, you are a dog, let's go! Can you get in?"

Madam covered her lips and forcibly held back her laughter. After spending a lot of time with Lin San, she became more happy and warm. Yu Shuang and Yu Ruoruo followed him, so he couldn't say he was wronged.

Mr. Lin took the lead, pushing open the courtyard door. As soon as he took a step, the long-accumulated dust rushed to his face, choked into his nose and mouth, and drenched Mr. Lin with a dirty face.

"Cough, cough—" Lin Wanrong took a step back, his eyes got dust, and he couldn't even open his eyes, he hurriedly rolled up his sleeves to wipe!

"Don't move!" The lady was standing beside him. Seeing his move, she hurriedly called out, took out the silk handkerchief in her arms, and wiped the corners of his eyes carefully.

"Madam, I'll come!" Seeing this, Qiao Qiao hurried forward, took Xiujuan from Madam's hand, and wiped the elder brother gently.

Lin Wanrong spat out the dust in his mouth twice, forced the updater to open his eyes, and hummed: "See the ghost, how is this emperor local, I won't say anything to reward a broken house, he won't find someone Would you like to clean up? Be sure to speak well next time we meet.

Madam shook her head secretly when she heard it, this child is really confused, how can I tell you that the emperor is so powerful.

Qiaoqiao took his hand and smiled sweetly, "Brother, this is our home. It's interesting that we need to clean it up by ourselves. Madam, don't you think?"

Mrs. Xiao smiled and said, "That's true. Qiaoqiao is ingenious, and this mansion will definitely be cleaned up properly. When that time comes, I will bring Yu Ruo Yushuang and the others to live there!"

"Welcome, welcome!" Lin Wanrong clapped his hands and smiled shyly: "Welcome everyone to stay for a long time!"

Seeing his disgraced face and strange appearance, Madam couldn't bear it any longer. She covered her small mouth and smiled, and Qiaoqiao buried her head in front of her elder brother's face, and nestled happily in his arms.

Entering through this small door, it is a gatehouse with only two floors, and there is a gate below it that is tightly closed. Downstairs are several vacant rooms, packing up some messy things. Furniture, calligraphy and painting, ink, paper and inkstones and even baby cradles, everything is cluttered and dusty, and it seems that no one has lived in for many years!

"Why do these houses look like storage rooms for sundries?" Qiaoqiao asked with her heart and mind, observing the details, glancing around a few times.

"What kind of storage room does he care? He can live in it!" Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "It also has stairs, and there are three rooms at the top and bottom. When I am in retirement, it may be called a garden house. Oh, there is no garden here. , a slight difference!"

"Your time?" Madam frowned, "Lin San, what do you mean?"

"Oh, in this era, Madam doesn't need to understand! Wow, these two floors are really tall, taller than me!" He snorted and changed the subject.

Madam smiled and shook her head, this Lin San, either crazy or mysterious, always has a ghost idea that doesn't fly, which is really interesting.

"Garden house?" Si De was fumbling around and saw that the door was covered with thick dust. He also disliked it and pulled it hard, but the door didn't move.

"Hey," Si Deli put his arms together and exhaled. With a creak, the gate slowly turned, and it turned out to be two heavy iron gates. A ray of sunlight passed through the iron gates. The dust filled the air. Not sure.

"Wow, what a big garden!" Si De exclaimed, awakening the other three. Lin Wanrong was the first to wake up and hurried to look outside the iron gate.

Facing him was a large garden, half the size of a football field, surrounded by red bricks and blue tiles, with high walls, which could not be seen at a glance. In the garden, there are flowers, pavilions, pavilions, small bridges on the upper stage, and everything. Only because no one has pruned it for many years, the flowers and branches have already fallen, and the weeds are overgrown, and only the sound of the spring water is stirring in the hearts of everyone.

"Big, it's so fucking big!" Pushing open a door, it turned out to be unique, everyone was stunned, Lin Wanrong looked at the wonders in front of him and murmured.

It's not that Mrs. Xiao is well-informed, she has studied the structure and layout of the house a lot, and after taking a few glances, she said, "Lin San, this seems to be a back garden."

"The back garden? What's the solution?" Lin Wanrong wondered, Mrs. Xiao gave him a charming look, and chuckled: "Sui you are usually smart enough, why are you not enlightened at this critical time? What do you think that is?"

She pointed her slender jade pointed forward, Lin Wanrong looked in the direction she pointed, and saw that facing the garden, was a hall-style three-story building with a circular arch leading from the back to the front, and then to the Looking ahead, I can see the houses and buildings, which are sometimes hidden in the sunlight.

"What did you see?" asked the lady softly.

"Finger, ah, no, it's a building!" Lin Wanrong took his eyes back from his wife's green jade finger, and wondered in her heart. Madam is thirty-six or seven years old. A fight!

"You, I don't know where your mind is going?" Mrs. Xiao glanced at him and smiled: "If my guess is correct, we entered the wrong door."

"Entering the wrong door?" Lin Wanrong laughed lewdly: "Impossible, I have always penetrated everywhere! There is no problem of entering the wrong door!"

Madam didn't understand his secret words, she shook her head and said firmly, "We entered the back garden."

"The back garden?" Lin Wanrong understood this time, and said in surprise: "Madam, what do you mean, we entered this—"

"That's right." Madam smiled and said, "We are facing the back garden, and there must be an inner house, front hall, wing room, and front garden in front of us. This is an uncompromising mansion. For a while, the first time I entered the house, I actually entered from the back, giggling—=”

Madam couldn't help laughing, Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "The back door is good, the taste of going through the back door is even more unique! Damn, who made such a small plaque, and it still hangs on the back door, ah, tomorrow will be Ming Ming Your Majesty, cut off such a small piece!"

"I let it hang on the ground!" A Qingyue voice sounded outside the door, indescribably majestic.

"Who?" Lin Wanrong hurriedly glanced out, and his complexion suddenly changed: "You, you—the emperor?"
