Lin Lian returned to the room, took the hairpin and picked the wick of the bean flame, so that the room was brighter, the snow was still floating outside, and the snow in the atrium had accumulated a layer, and the wind blew on the window paper, making a loud noise.

Lin Lian took out a piece of cut paper, took a pen and ink and wrote on the paper "East China Sea Fox Tan Zong" five fine orthography, Liu Yue'er watched Lin Lian go back to the room to serve tea, she tilted her head and looked at the five words written by Lin Lian on the paper, and asked, "Who is this?" ”

"This is a very powerful pirate in the East China Sea, and it is not famous now...... Lin Jian said to Liu Yue'er with a smile, "Maybe it will be very famous and famous in the future." ”

"Then he must be smart." Liu Yue'er said with a smile, the shallow smile hung on the corner of her mouth, which made her look a kind of playful beauty under the lamp, she knew that Qin Chengzu, Zhou Pu, and Wu Qi were not ordinary people, and she thought that maybe this East China Sea fox was also a friend of Lin Lian.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that you wanted to be a fox spirit, I heard that someone called the East China Sea fox, and I thought it was ...... smart" Lin Jian laughed.

Liu Yue'er's face was crimson, and a sense of shame surged in her heart, the so-called fox spirit's words were just nonsense a few days ago, but she didn't expect Lin Lian to remember it in her heart, and she didn't rush away as before, she also saw that Lin Lian had the intention of chatting with herself, and besides, she also wanted to talk more to Lin Lian, standing there and saying with a smile: "Childe makes fun of Yue'er, this drama says that foxes are very smart creatures......"

"This fox, a fierce temper that would rather die than change is really not smart...... Lin Jian laughed at himself, he was still in danger every step of the way in his two lives, in the final analysis, he was still unwilling in his heart, and asked Liu Yue'er, "You can also see that there is danger hidden in this house, are you afraid in your heart?" ”

"Maybe Yue'er is also a stupid fox, and she only feels at ease in this house." Liu Yue'er said boldly, her parents, brother and sister-in-law were able to get three or two months of silver from Liang Zuoren every month, but she didn't care about her feelings at all and let her leave Shiliang County.

Lin Jian looked up at Liu Yue'er's eyes that were clear from the light under the lamp, and looked at her long curly eyelashes that cast shadows on her eyelids, and felt that it was really charming, really a veritable hooking vixen, he picked up the paper with words on the case and slowly tore it to shreds, and threw it away in the small wicker basket that was used as a wastepaper basket next to him, and then said to Liu Yue'er: "I'm also a stupid fox, you can treat this place as a fox nest with peace of mind in the future." ”

Liu Yue'er was exquisite, knowing that Lin Tie said this, she didn't have to worry about sending it to the Gu family, although she didn't know how Lin Tie could be this East China Sea Fox Tan Zong, but thinking that Lin Tie would tell her this most secret thing, that is, she would no longer treat her as an outsider, Yanran smiled, stood there and looked at Lin Tie's handsome face, Lin Tie looked over, her eyes avoided again, and she stood quietly for a while, before she whispered: "Don't be too late to read, Yue'er will go back to the room first, if there is something to call." ”

"You go and rest early, I still have to read a book...... Lin Jian said, watching Liu Yue'er walk out of his room, he remembered in his heart that Qin Chengzu said that it was Fu Qinghe's proposal to establish a name on Changshan Island in the name of Tan Zong, the fox of the East China Sea, and he sighed softly, this burden is really not light.

********************

The next day, Lin Jian took Qin Chengzu to Baiyuan to visit Su Mei.

Baiyuan is a private apartment provided by the clan for Su Mei to live in Jiangning, which does not mean that Su Mei will not meet guests in Baiyuan, but Su Mei can meet guests in Baiyuan more according to his own heart, in addition to the scribes and celebrities he usually meets will post to visit, Jiangning usually good sisters will also move around from time to time.

Although it was a few steps in front of the street and a few steps behind the street, Lin Jian and Qin Chengzu came to Baiyuan, and they still asked Zhao Hu to set up a carriage, and Zhou Pu and Wu Qi rode horses to follow them.

It was snowing all night, and they came out a little later, and the snow on the street had trampled on pedestrians, but the eaves and walls were sparse and the lintels were full of snow.

When I arrived in Baiyuan, it happened that another woman who was famous in Jiangning for her talent and beauty was also in Baiyuan, that is, Chen Qingqing, the owner of Jingzhai Garden who was as famous as Su Mei in Jiangning.

"Miss Chen from Jingzhai Garden is also here, it's really not a coincidence that Lin Ye is here, why don't you sit and wait for a while?" Song Daopo, who spoke, was the servant woman who went to the feudal building with Su Mei that night, and chewed Lin Lian's tongue in the young lord of the feudal family, she was the housekeeper sent to Baiyuan by the feudal family, that is, Xiaoman was disciplined by her, and she could only mutter twice in front of Su Mei, she was naturally extremely dissatisfied with Lin Lian's visit in her heart, but she saw with her own eyes in the feudal building that Lin Lian did not take the young owner Fan Zhimei seriously, and even threatened the owner of the feudal mansion with her tongue to apologize, she was full of resentment and did not dare to say it in front of her, and at this time she used Chen Qingqing as a shield, I want to drive Lin Jian back.

"Then trouble Song Daopo to report it, Miss Su feels inconvenient, and Lin Lian should leave." Lin Tie stood in front of the courtyard coldly and said, after all, Song Daopo didn't dare to show Lin Tie's face, so she went in to report.

Lin Tie to Jiangning did not miss the land of wind and moon, the name of Chen Qingqing, the owner of Jingzhai Garden, has also heard of it, the same as Su Mei, the same as the famous character in the music book, good at dancing, Xiubailou specially built a lotus shed for her in the south courtyard of the building, there is a silver lotus platform in the shed, the diameter is five inches, ordinary people stand on the silver lotus platform and turn around to worry about falling, but Chen Qingqing only dances in public on this lotus platform. If you want to talk about fame, Chen Qingqing is only afraid that she will be three points more obvious than Su Mei.

The women in the music book have clean and self-conscious people, such as Su Mei, Su Mei has a wide acquaintance with Jiangning Fengshi celebrities, but she has always had a good reputation; But after all, happy women are a type of people who are despised by the world, and they can have a strong character and be self-reliant in the turbid red dust, and they are the few people who can rely on them, and finding a powerful person to rely on is what they do most often. When Chen Qingqing was seventeen years old, he ransomed him Yuejing from Xiubai Building, the then Jiangning garrison general, as a concubine, and He Yuejing built Jingzhai Garden in Jiangning to settle Chen Qingqing, and Chen Qingqing has since called himself the master of Jingzhai Garden. He Yuejing was transferred to Jibei to serve as the general of Jingbei Auxiliary State, and died in the battle of Chen Tangyi in the spring of last year. Naturally, He's wife would not allow a happy woman to remain in the He family, and drove Chen Qingqing out of Jingzhai Garden last year. After Chen Qingqing was driven out, he couldn't find anything else to rely on for a while, so he had to return to Xiubai Building to become a naturalized citizen, and bought a house on Nanxunmen Street with the silver, which was still named Jingzhai Garden, and still regarded himself as the owner of Jingzhai Garden.

Although Chen Qingqing was driven out of the He family, she is still nominally the widow and survivor of the auxiliary generals who died in the war for the country, and there are many powerful people in Jiangning City who are greedy for Chen Qingqing's beauty, but no one will provoke Chen Qingqing to be accepted as a concubine at this time. I heard Su Mei talk about the eldest son of the Marquis of Yongchang, that is, Yuan Jinsheng's brother Yuan Jinqiu, who has been walking diligently in Jingzhai Garden recently, Yuan Jinqiu is a standard gentleman, and he is not very popular with the Marquis of Yongchang, but he is the legal heir of the Marquis of Yongchang, which is something that the Marquis of Yongchang cannot change by himself.

Lin Jian also heard from the alleys that Zeng Mingxin, the prince of Mu Guo, was also interested in Chen Qingqing, the owner of Jingzhai Garden, and the wind in the market was particularly popular.

Mu Guogong Zeng Mingxin and Yongchang Hou Yuan are the same generation, they are Yuan Jinqiu's uncles, Mu Guogong Mansion and Yongchang Hou Mansion are each other's rivals in Jiangning City, Zeng Mingxin and Yuan Jinqiu are secretly competing for the concubine of the former auxiliary general, and the first-class celebrity in Jiangning Fengyue Field - how can this super gossip not attract the attention of the people in the market?

It is also for this reason that Chen Qingqing's reputation in Jiangning is more prominent than that of Su Mei.

Even if Lin Jian covered his ears with both hands, after arriving in Jiangning, he heard others mention Chen Qingqing's name far more than once or twice, but he didn't see him, but he didn't expect Chen Qingqing to be a guest in Baiyuan today, but he was strange in his heart: Su Mei didn't mind talking about other market rumors, why did he never say that Mu Guogong Zeng Mingxin secretly fought for Chen Qingqing's gossip?

Lin Lian, Qin Chengzu and others looked at a plum tree planted in the courtyard in the front yard of the Baiyuan Garden, the plum branches were spitting flower bones, and the snow was hanging again. Song Daopo walked in and reported that it was only a dozen breaths and turned back, Lin Jian looked up, and Xiaoman walked out after him: "Ah, Lin Gongzi, you are here, Miss said, if you come over, I will lead you in directly, and I will lead you in......"

Yesterday, Zhao Hu came to send a post, and he made it difficult for Song Daopo, Su Mei was afraid that Lin Jian and Qin Chengzu would make it difficult again today, so he calculated that when he made an appointment, he would let Xiaoman go to the front garden to take a look, and he would be next to Song Daopo to go in to report.

The snow scene in the cypress garden was not trampled, everyone else was waiting in the front yard, Lin Lian and Qin Chengzu, who was pretending to be a big merchant in Chongzhou, followed Xiaoman to the back garden, Su Mei and Chen Qingqing enjoyed the snow and plum blossoms in the back garden, Lin Jian This was the first time he saw Chen Qingqing.

Compared with Su Mei's charm and dust, Chen Qingqing has a different kind of beauty that penetrates the bones, she sits there, wearing a brocade jacket, and wearing a snow-white and unstained white fox fur outdoors, which can still make people feel that her chest is bulging and her waist is soft, no wonder she is known to be able to dump half of the Jiangning man.

"This is the Lin Juzi that Sister Su talked about?" Chen Qingqing and Liu Yue'er are the same age, two years older than Su Mei, but after being in the red dust for many years, she saw Lin Jian and Qin Chengzu walking in, but she was not timid at all, sitting on the stone bench covered with brocade mats, looking at Lin Lian, but the words in her mouth were as sharp as a knife, "Sister Su has some eyesight, and the role that can scare the young master of the feudal mansion into peeing his crotch is better than that Xie Yuan!" His eyes skimmed over Lin Lian's face, looked at Su Mei and asked, "By the way, Chen Jieyuan went back to the countryside to retreat and study to prepare for next year's Jinluan Palace, I haven't written with my sister for a few days, right?" He stood up again and waved a brocade and said, "Okay, okay, I won't stay and be annoying, Sister Su, you can meet Lin Juzi, I'll go back to Jingzhai......" didn't say anything to Lin Lian, and called Song Daopo, "Mama Song, you and Sister Su come to Jingzhai as a guest, I won't bother you today." ”

Chen Qingqing, the maidservant and Song Daopo walked out of the back garden, and Su Mei said to Lin Jian with an embarrassed face: "Chen Qingqing is just unforgiving, and people are not very bad. ”

"I know," Lin Jian said with a smile, "Isn't she still afraid that I will stalk you when she mentions Chen Mingzhe?" Alas, this reputation is broken, and it will be really difficult to recover for a while. ”

Only Xiao Man's mouth was the fastest: "Chen Xie Yuan asked people to bring several letters, but the young lady couldn't pestering him before replying to a letter, I have also read that letter, I am really serious about learning." ”

"Go! What nonsense. Su Mei took a sip of Xiaoman, her pink face was slightly red, and she gave Qin Chengzu a salute, "Su Mei has seen Mr. Qin......"
