Dusk was getting darker and the temperature was getting lower and lower. Two newly dressed women came over with smiles and lit up the red lanterns on the porch. The warm red instantly enveloped the entire courtyard. Cherry raised her head and looked at the sky.
The half-grey moon rubbed her hands and whispered: "Sister Guiyuan, what time is it?" I don't know if the banquet outside is about to break up, but no one comes to bring them food?
Guiyuan whispered: "It's probably almost garrison time. Someone is coming."
At the entrance of the courtyard, a pretty girl wearing a Hunan-colored fur-edged brocade cloak, with a simple pearl in her black bun, walked over with a smile, followed by several maids carrying red lacquer food boxes behind her.
Finally, it was Lu Yun who brought someone to deliver the meals.
Cherry quickly went inside to notify Lin Jinrong, only to see that Lin Jinrong had already stood up, sitting on the bedside holding a book that he had taken out from nowhere, and looking at the dragon and phoenix candles on the table seriously.
In the past two days, the girl has suddenly changed from a money-crazy to a book-crazy. Fortunately, she could take it into consideration. She secretly broke into a cold sweat and said with a smile: "Girl, my cousin is here."
Aunt Gui scolded in a low voice: "You can't call me cousin anymore!"
Lin Jinrong collected the book and said, "I will change my words from now on." Then he smiled brightly at Lu Yun who pushed the door open and said, "Ayun, why are you here?"
"My new sister-in-law." Lu Yun stepped forward to greet her affectionately and said with a smile: "My brother asked me to be responsible for arranging their meals. If not, I will deliver them myself."
Lin Jinrong then ordered Aunt Gui and others to go down to have dinner, and then talked to Lu Yun himself: "I'm sorry to bother you."
"My family, why are you so polite? From now on, I will have to rely on my sister-in-law to love me." Lu Yun glanced at the book in her hand, covered his mouth and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are a pair of bookworms."
Lin Jinrong laughed and said in a low voice: "It's okay to just sit there."
Lu Yun took her hand and said softly: "We are cousins, and you are my sister-in-law. If there is any difficulty in the future, please don't be polite to me. My mother's temper is a little bad, and others
..." He sighed softly and smiled sweetly, "Anyway, just remember to look for me."
Lin Jinrong nodded: "I remember."
The two sat in silence for a moment. Aunt Gui, Li Zhi and others finished their meals quickly and came in to thank Lu Yun. Someone brought a banquet from outside and said that Lu Mian was coming in. Lu Yun stood up with a smile: "I'll go then.
Already."
Lin Jinrong stood up to see her off and winked at Li Zhi. Li Zhi quickly took the wedding money she had prepared earlier and gave it to the mother-in-law and girl who followed Lu Yun. Lu Yun looked at it with a smile and left.
While setting up the table, Aunt Gui praised: "Miss Yun, she is so generous and good-looking in everything she does. I will be blessed to have such a sensible sister-in-law."
Lychee didn't say anything, and Lin Jinrong responded casually: "Yes."
There was a soft knock on the door, and Cherry and Guiyuan both said crisply: "The second young master is here."
Lin Jinrong's hands hidden in her sleeves gently clenched and unclenched, and she raised her head to look at the door. She saw Lu Yan standing quietly at the door looking at her, his eyes dark and bright. When he saw her looking at him, he smiled slightly.
, said to Aunt Gui and others in a friendly manner: "Everyone, please retreat. Go to Changshou to get the reward."
Aunt Gui looked at Lin Jinrong and was very embarrassed: "Miss, she hasn't eaten yet..." Someone has to wait for Lin Jinrong to eat, right?
Lu Yan's face turned red: "We can eat it ourselves, and you can clean it up after eating."
Seeing Lin Jinrong lowering her head and saying nothing, Aunt Gui knew it was impossible not to listen, so she motioned to Lizhi and others to follow her down.
The door was gently closed, and the room was extremely quiet. The candlelight of the dragon and phoenix candles danced, causing the light in the room to sway. A pair of boots slowly appeared in front of Lin Jinrong. Lin Jinrong lowered his head and took a deep breath nervously.
He took a breath and suddenly raised his head to look at Lu Yan.
"A Rong..." Lu Yan frowned slightly: "Are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid." Lin Jinrong shook his head firmly, as if he was talking to him, but also as if he was telling himself: "How could I be afraid? The one I am least afraid of is you. Can I pour you a drink?"
Dongyang wine was poured into the silver dragon and phoenix wine glass, splashing beautiful hops, and the aroma of the wine was fragrant. Lin Jinrong felt a little more at ease when he smelled the smell. He handed the glass of wine to Lu Yan with his hands and feet smoothly, and then put the bowl in front of him.
Pass the chopsticks to him.
Lu Yan looked up at her and said, "You're right, the one you're least afraid of is me. That's fine." There was a bit of relaxation and ridicule in his tone.
Lin Jinrong didn't know what he meant and didn't want to go into details. He lowered his eyes and held his chopsticks and said, "Aren't you going to eat? I've been hungry all day."
Lu Yan put a handful of rabbit meat sprinkled with green onions into her bowl and whispered: "Eat it. I've eaten it, and I just want to eat it with you."
Lin Jinrong looked at the rabbit meat sprinkled with green onions in her bowl. She suddenly felt that she couldn't eat it and had no appetite at all. But she knew she had to eat it. She was silent for a moment, took the wine glass and drank it all, and then fed the rabbit meat sprinkled with green onions.
In his mouth, he chewed hard and silently.
Lu Yan was astonished when he saw her flowing and familiar movements while drinking, but he didn't say anything. He just took the wine glass in front of him, took a sip, and silently looked at her every move.
After Lin Jinrong drank two glasses of wine, he felt that his limbs and bones were gradually getting warmer, and his movements were no longer as stiff as before. He lowered his eyes and focused on choosing what he liked to eat. He drank four glasses of wine in a row, and then poured the seventh glass of wine.
When she was drinking the wine, a hand held her glass gently but firmly: "That's almost it. This wine has a strong aftertaste. If you drink any more, you will get drunk."
Lin Jinrong stared at the slender hand for a long time, then breathed out softly: "Don't you know I'm good at drinking."
"You can't drink any more." Lu Yan didn't allow her to say any more: "Someone, please clean up!"
Lychee, Yingying and others came in and were a little surprised when they saw Lin Jinrong's appearance, but they couldn't say anything. They quietly put away the cups and dishes and gave them hot water towels for them to wash up.
Lin Jinrong sat motionless at the table, her face flushed with alcohol.
Lu Yan waited for her for a moment and saw that she was sitting motionless, so he had to get up and go to the clean room to wash up.
Lychee rushed to Lin Jinrong's side and whispered anxiously: "Girl, what are you going to do? I beg you, please don't make trouble at this joint..."
Lin Jinrong looked up at her with cold eyes: "I know, don't worry. Take off your hairpin and coat for me."
Seeing that her expression was very sober, Li Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He helped her sit in front of the photo booth, held up the mirror, and quickly took off her hairpin for her. Then she loosened her hair and tied it into a pony bun, carefully.
He took off her bright red and gold dress, and when he was about to change her shoes, he suddenly had a problem: "Girl, this..."
Lin Jinrong moved his ankle slightly and whispered: "What are you afraid of? That's it."
After Lu Yan finished washing, he stood behind the screen and listened to what was going on inside. When he heard the crisp sound of hairpins clashing, he relaxed his stiff shoulders and thought he was ready before going in. As soon as he entered, he saw someone sitting on the bed.
Lin Jinrong is wearing a Xiangfei-colored coat, crimson flowered trousers, and green soft satin sleeping shoes.
Her black hair was lightly twisted into a ponytail, slanted to the left, her skin was light pink, her eyes were dark and moist, her lips were slightly pursed, and her white hands were clasped on her knees.
Her feet drooped naturally. The green soft satin embroidered shoes were embroidered with albizia flowers with gold thread, and a pearl dropped on each toe. When he looked over, the feet were slightly raised as if to show off.
Lu Yan suddenly wanted to laugh. He had seen Tu's feet when he was a child, and they were narrow and straight. He also knew that Lu Yun's feet were also bound at a very young age. To be honest, these feet were indeed better than Tu's and Lu Yun's.
Her feet were wide and not so slender. He didn't know if Lin Jinrong had ever been tied before, but judging from her appearance, she probably hadn't been. She showed it to him deliberately, as if she was showing off and provoking, so she couldn't really be drunk.
Seeing them standing and sitting, with their big eyes facing each other, Nanny Gui hurriedly whispered a few words in Lin Jinrong's ear, and quietly left with Li Zhi and others.
When the door was closed, the two people in the room were startled at the same time. They looked up at each other, but they were both extremely calm.
Lu Yan gently wiped the sweat from his palms on his sleeves, walked slowly towards Lin Jinrong, and said with a smile: "Why are you looking at me like this? What did Aunt Gui whisper to you just now?"
Lin Jinrong quickly lowered his eyes, and his slightly raised feet also dropped in frustration. Lu Yan walked to her, sat down next to her, and tentatively reached out to hold her hand. His hand was cold and he couldn't help but wrinkle it.
Brow: "Why is it so cold?"
Lin Jinrong quickly retracted his hand, his upper and lower teeth clacked together, and he couldn't say a word.
"But you feel uncomfortable?" Lu Yan tried to touch her forehead, "Should I call Aunt Gui?"
Lin Jinrong hurriedly stepped aside and whispered: "I'm fine. Go to sleep. I have to get up at four o'clock tomorrow morning." After saying that, he took off his shoes and lay down gently.
Lu Yan retracted his hand, stared at her for a moment, stood up and put down the red curtain, took off his shoes, carefully lay down next to her, and looked at her face quietly in the light of the dragon and phoenix candles outside the tent.
Lin Jinrong's breathing was so shallow that it was almost inaudible, her long eyelashes were trembling wildly, and her teeth were clenched tightly. Although she was trying her best to control it, he could still feel her trembling. For a moment, his heart was filled with pity.
"Ah Rong... look at me." He stretched out his hand towards her, gently put it on her shoulder, and tried to turn her around to face him, but she kept resisting him and shook even more.
.
Even if he is not afraid, in fact he is still afraid. Drinking so much wine is also to strengthen his courage, right? Lu Yan gently leaned towards Lin Jinrong, held her trembling shoulders, and whispered: "Arong, don't be afraid, you are mine.
Wife, I am your husband, and I will treat you well. Let’s forget about the past.”
What happened in the past...forgot?! Lin Jinrong miraculously stopped shaking. She opened her eyes and looked at Lu Yan. Before Lu Yan could see her eyes clearly, she quickly closed her eyes again, quietly and submissively.
Outside the window, half of the bright moon hung in the sky, and a few cold stars twinkled. The cool spring breeze swirled gently in the yard, blowing the red lantern on the porch to spin a few times, and then quietly left without a trace.
