After dressing as a widow

The children were all grown up, and when they reached the age of starting a family, Lin Zhen was both happy and emotional when he heard Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin talking about Lin Zhuzi and Lin Shitou's marriage.

The family has been busy for several days because of the congratulatory banquet, and now they can finally sit down and rest, chatting for a while before going to rest.

The next day, the helpers from the village came to have a thank-you meal, and then the Lin family went door-to-door to send back the tables, stools, bowls and chopsticks, and left with their own things.

Lin's father and Lin's father felt that this was really embarrassing, and they persuaded and persuaded. They said that two days ago, they called Brother Lin, Brother Lin, and the two boys in the family to send them over. It would be great if the big guys could borrow things up.

The uncle who was moving his own table waved his hands indifferently: "The folks in the village said this, and they will see each other. The banquet is in a hurry, and your family must be tired. Take a good rest for a few days. Next time, when the banquet is not so urgent You can just send it back."

"Old brother, this..." Father Lin still felt sorry.

However, the uncle had already put the table on his shoulders and went to his home.

The same goes for the others, and soon the Lin family's yard returned to its original state.

Lin Zhen went to Gu Lin because Mrs. Lin mentioned that Lin Zhuzi might get married next month last night.

Maybe Gu Lin really drank a little too much last night. They didn't see him get up after they woke up. Lin Zhen opened the door and walked in. He smelled a faint smell of alcohol. He went to the bed and called twice: " Gu Lin? Gu Lin?"

Covered with a thin quilt, the figure with its back to him moved, and suddenly reached out to wrap his arms around his waist, and leaned on him himself.

Lin Zhen: "..."

At what speed was this, he didn't even realize when this man turned over from the bed.

Being hugged at the waist, Gu Lin's upper body was still lying on his chest, Lin Zhen couldn't help pinching his face: "Are you awake?"

"Yeah." After sleeping all night, her voice was hoarse, and there was a bit of softness unique to him. Gu Lin blinked her eyes, raised her hands to hook Lin Zhen's neck, and pulled him down. Her thin lips Print his.

Shetou was entangled together, just like last night, Lin Zhen couldn't hold back after a while, and patted his arm to let him let go, looking back, Rin was very obedient, he didn't chase after him, but the two separated their lips and tongues At that time, Gu Lin seemed to be very interested in Lin Zhen's shetou, and fiddled with Xia Linzhen's shetou with his fingers like playing with some toy.

Lin Zhen felt that this brat was going too far, so he took his hand off and said, "Get up quickly and wash your clothes. Yesterday, Zhuzi Niang told me that if Zhuzi is fast, we will get married next month. Ask when we will go to the capital." If you're not in a hurry, you can eat his wedding wine before going."

Gu Lin lifted the quilt and got up. The moon-white inner clothes on his body were a bit messy. He went to the closet where the clothes were placed and took a set of clean inner clothes and robes. Lin Zhen, who knew that he had to change clothes every morning, went out. Walk.

He has no habit of watching him change clothes.

That's why it's so hot today, it's clearly late autumn.

After getting dressed, Gu Lin quickly came out of the house, fetched water, washed his face and brushed his teeth, and then came over to greet Lin Zhen.

At this moment, he was in high spirits, with his usual icy and cold appearance, as if it was another person who looked exactly like him who was pestering people.

Lin Zhen looked away slightly, and said, "There is rice porridge in the pot on the stove, and pickles in the cupboard. You scoop it up and eat it yourself."

Gu Lin nodded: "Okay, has Uncle Lin eaten?"

Lin Zhen naturally ate it, "I ate it, I ate it with you and the others."

But Gu Lin said: "Uncle Lin, eat a little more, the rice porridge is not very hungry, but it will make you feel full."

It’s okay if he doesn’t say anything, but when he said that Lin Zhen really felt that most of the rice porridge he ate just now had been digested, and his stomach was a little empty. He looked at Gu Lin’s eyes and agreed.

This morning's breakfast was made by Lin Zhen. The porridge made of white rice, the family likes to eat thicker porridge, so add less water, and after a long time, a layer of rice oil will be formed on it, which is very refreshing. appetite.

He took two pairs of chopsticks and two bowls, Gu Lin brought out the pickles and put them on the table, and each of them sat down and ate porridge with the pickles.

The porridge with a little lard and salt is full of aroma, and it goes well with the pickles stirred with cornel. The fresh, salty, spicy taste makes people sweat.

After one meal, Lin Zhen ate another bowl, and Gu Lin wrapped up the rest. Then Lin Zhen cleaned the table, and Gu Lin mixed two ladles of water into the pot, and washed the dishes and chopsticks at the same time.

Lin Zhen wiped the table and said, "Do you have any rules for what I told you just now?"

It takes eight or nine days to travel by horse-drawn carriage from here to Fucheng, and then from Fucheng to Kyoto, it will take even more time, about a month or more than ten days, adding up to almost two months.

Of course, it will be faster if you take the waterway from Fucheng.

It’s just that when Lin Zhen and the others were in Fucheng, they vaguely heard that the current waterway is not smooth, and the water bandits who were suppressed by the court have become rampant again, saying that the fleeing refugee army and the water bandits got mixed together, so they can walk Dry road or dry road.

Gu Lin held the wide sleeves of the robe, and used a small broom specially designed for washing pots to sweep the water in the pot into the bucket, and then added water to wash it again: "The time is not urgent. If you go early, you will be renting a house in Kyoto to study. Since If Zhuzi wants to get married, then let's wait until this matter is over."

"Huang Yuwen and Chen Xing's wedding banquet is still a few days away, then Uncle Lin and I will go to their wedding banquet."

"Then I'll tell Zhuzi's wife later that we can have Zhuzi's wedding wine at home, she and your uncle must be very happy."

The title of uncle...

Gu Lin glanced at him and said nothing.

Lin Zhen said it smoothly, without thinking so much, and continued: "Shitou is going to get married next year, I don't know if we can come back then, why don't I bring you some money before going to the capital, and ask him to hang a gift for us. "

The matter was settled like this, Wang Qin will not go back to Kyoto this time, he will go back to Huaishan Academy in Fucheng to continue his studies, and if he can pass the Juren exam in three years, he will go to Kyoto to take the academy examination.

Only Gu Lin, Huang Yuwen, Chen Xing and Zhong Yan went.

On the tenth day of September, Huang Yuwen held a congratulatory banquet. Lin Zhen and Gu Lin got up early in the morning to clean up, changed into new clothes, went to Aunt Ma's house to borrow a donkey cart, and rushed to the town.

When they arrived, it was the busiest time at noon. The street where the Huang family lived was almost crowded with all kinds of carriages, mule carts and donkey carts. Lin Zhen and Gu Lin had no choice but to take the donkey cart. I parked far away on the side of the road, looked for a shopkeeper I knew when I was doing business in the town, and walked in.

Along the way, the two heard many people discussing Huang Yuwen, saying that Huang Yuwen has been a good boy since he was a child, and now he has passed the Juren examination, he is a very good boy.

It is also said that Huang Yuwen is the star of Wenqu, otherwise how could he be elected.

Someone even quietly asked about Huang Yuwen's marriage, trying to match up.

Lin Zhen and Gu Lin had heard a lot of these words at the previous congratulatory banquet, and I am afraid they will hear them again at Chen Xing's congratulatory banquet in a few days.

The people holding the presents handed the presents to the busy and sweaty servants at the door, and the deputy steward wrote down in the book what they gave and how much money they gave, these were the vouchers for returning gifts later.

Lin Zhen and Gu Lin walked over and handed over the prepared gifts.

The servant who received the gift opened the box, and saw a jade seal inside. The carving was not very good, and the jade material was not high-quality.

Today is the only son of the Huang family, Huang Yuwen, who passed the entrance examination, and Juren specially organized a congratulatory banquet. I don't know how many people want to curry favor with them, and the gifts are no matter how expensive they are, so I hope to make a name for the Huang family.

This seal was taken over by the servant, which can be regarded as an ordinary congratulatory gift.

But the young master said that etiquette does not distinguish between seriousness, so the servant closed the box containing the seal, and said to the assistant steward who wrote: "A sapphire seal."

The deputy manager thought there would be others, but after waiting for a while, he still didn't hear the servant continue to read, and looked up at Lin Zhen and wanted Gu Lin.

Just looking at these two people, his eyes lit up, he was pleasantly surprised and said respectfully: "Lin Fulang, Gu Juren, you two are here!"

Since the carriage used to go to Fucheng was bought by the Wang family and the Huang family together, the servants of both families have seen Lin Zhen and Gu Lin. After the young master came back, he often mentioned the names of Gu Lin and Lin Zhen, and the servants at home also listened. many times.

When the steward came to write the gift book, Huang Yuwen also specifically told him that if Lin Zhen wanted Gu Lin to come and ask his servants to bring him in, he should not be neglected. One of them is Huang Yuwen's respected elder, and the other is Huang Yuwen's best friend.

The deputy steward hurriedly said to the servant who was receiving the congratulatory gift: "Lin Fulang and Gu Juren are distinguished guests in the mansion, so hurry up and take them to the main hall."

The servant who received the gift was usually doing sweeping work and didn't often show up outside. He didn't expect that the two who only gave one seal would be distinguished guests. Fortunately, he followed the young master's words and didn't show any contempt no matter what the gift was. expression.

The servant hurriedly walked to Lin Zhen and Gu Lin's side, and stretched out his hand to guide them.

Lin Zhen and Gu Lin stepped into the courtyard gate of Huang's house, and just passed the screen wall, they saw that the spacious courtyard, the wing rooms on both sides, and the main hall first entered were full of people, and they almost couldn't get a needle in.

But the servant didn't stay here, and led Lin Zhen and Gu Lin through the crowded corridor to the second courtyard.

There are quite a few people inside, but it is a little more open than outside. Compared with the two, the relationship between the people sitting here and the Huang family is naturally closer.

Lin Zhen and Gu Lin had just entered the door of the main hall when several voices rang out together.

"Uncle Lin, Gu Lin, you are here!" It was Wang Qin.

"Uncle Lin Gu Lin." This is today's protagonist, Huang Yuwen.

There is also Chen Xing, who is sitting next to Wang Qin, and so is Zhong Yan, wearing an ordinary moon-white robe, looking delicate and indifferent.

In the end, there were two voices that almost drowned out their voices. It was Lu Xunjian and Zhang Tie who hadn't seen each other since the farewell to Fucheng.

Lu inspector was fine and could hold his breath, but Zhang Tie had already stood up and punched Gu Lin on the shoulder hard, scaring the guests in the hall to gasp, God, such a big fist, that How can a weak scholar stand it!

The author has something to say:

Weak Scholar·Gu Shoufu: You have to eat delicately to get up.
