Chapter 124: Thirty Is Like a Tiger
These retainers of Jia Zheng are, to put it nicely, elegant scholars.
In fact, they are old scholars who have no hope of passing the imperial examinations and live by flattering Jia Zheng.
In Lin Chen's opinion, these self-proclaimed romantic scholars who fan themselves with poetry are all quite funny.
Of course.
This is Jia Zheng's home court, so Lin Chen pretended not to see and chatted about some trivial matters.
This time, it seemed that the host and the guest were in a good mood.
"Brother Lin, look at this weeping bamboo."
Jia Zheng was in high spirits and was about to get up and pull Lin Chen to see the clump of green bamboo in front of the attic.
Seeing this, Lin Chen slightly turned away and avoided Jia Zheng's gesture.
Ancient times.
Men who felt that they had a very good relationship would sleep with their feet touching and walk hand in hand.
Lin Chen didn't think this meant intimacy.
The two grown men pulling and tugging made him feel a little cold.
That's why.
Jia Zheng didn't notice Lin Chen's resistance, but just pointed at the weeping bamboo.
He immediately recited a poem about the nobleness of bamboo.
"My heart is empty and I live in the green hills, my shadow is thin like a jade concubine..."
"This weeping bamboo is the one sent to the capital from the Xiang River." Jia Zheng introduced with a smile.
"Sent to the capital from the Xiang River?"
Lin Chen was shocked when he heard this.
Not to mention the thousands of miles of journey, the living bamboo had to be sent back intact, which shows the cost.
For a wealthy family like the Jia family, this may not be a big deal.
Just then.
Lin Chen suddenly glanced at the side of the Tingyu Pavilion.
I saw a bright figure leading a few maids passing by.
It was no one else.
Wasn't the charming lady leading the way Wang Xifeng?
Wang Xifeng pretended to pass by here and glanced at the attic.
Lin Chen looked at this line of sight, and a playful look flashed in his eyes.
Can't he help it?
Thinking of this.
Lin Chen suddenly felt that he had lost interest in continuing the conversation with this group of idle chatterers.
After all, there was a beautiful woman waiting for him, so why should he chat with these old men about sour poems?
When Wang Xifeng's figure disappeared from Lin Chen's eyes, he came back to his senses and began to think about what excuse to use to get out.
Jia Zheng, who had no idea that he had invited a distinguished guest and his mind was no longer here, lost his smile on his face.
With the echo of the retainers, Jia Zheng felt that today's meeting was no more than the meeting between uncles and sons in ancient times.
On the other side.
Lin Chen, who used the excuse of urinating, followed a servant to the toilet.
"Stop."
It was none other than Wang Xifeng who stopped the boy.
Wang Xifeng saw that this enemy had seen through her intentions, and her smile on her face became more radiant.
"Second Madam Lian!"
The boy saw that it was Wang Xifeng who called him to stop, and he stood up quickly, and was at a loss.
"Where are you taking Lord Lin to?"
Wang Xifeng pretended to meet the two of them casually and asked curiously.
The servant had to explain after hearing this.
"I was just about to take Lord Lin..."
But he didn't want to.
"Go back!"
Wang Xifeng waved her hand and asked him to leave like a fly.
"Ah?"
The servant was stunned and didn't understand what Wang Xifeng was going to do.
"I have something to discuss with Lord Lin, why are you standing here in the way?" Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the other party unkindly.
Thinking of the great prestige of Second Madam Lian in the past, the servant was frightened and sweat oozed from his forehead.
Seeing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh and said to him: "Since Second Madam Lian has something to do with me, you should go back first."
The servant who saw Lin Chen said so, just breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Lin Chen to leave.
After the servant left.
Only then did Lin Chen notice that the surroundings were very quiet.
The Jia Mansion covers a large area, with complete courtyards and landscapes.
It seems that there were no servants passing by this place in the past, and it looks quite desolate.
There is only a rockery, which is a piece of West Lake stone. I don’t know how it was moved here by the Jia Mansion as a scene.
There is a different world behind this rockery.
There is a natural depression with a gap of two or three meters, which is just convenient for the two to move around.
Lin Chen also wanted to reminisce with this Lian’s second wife to ease the strange feelings after not seeing each other for a long time.
But he didn’t expect it.
He is not in a hurry.
Wang Xifeng is very anxious.
Lin Chen now sees what it means to be thirty years old.
Although Wang Xifeng married into the Jia Mansion in her teens, she is only in her early twenties.
In modern times, it is still the best youth for women.
But in this era, this age is considered old.
Another point.
Wang Xifeng has not given birth to a boy or a girl for Jia Lian yet.
If Wang Xifeng waited a few more years, she would certainly be criticized if her stomach did not make any movement.
If Wang Xifeng stopped her husband from taking a concubine, she would probably be looked down upon by Grandmother Jia.
As the saying goes, there are three kinds of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no offspring.
But Wang Xifeng also knew her physical condition, and even the imperial physician could not help her with her hemorrhage.
But she never thought that she would find a solution from Lin Chen.
Lin Chen did not know what Wang Xifeng was thinking, but was happy to see her take the initiative.
Fortunately, no one had passed by here in the past.
If someone had passed by, they would probably spread the rumor that there were ghosts crying in the daytime.
It seemed like she was crying but not crying, and it seemed like she was laughing but not laughing.
It was like she was on the clouds, but then she fell down again.
Lin Chen's fingers lightly brushed across Wang Xifeng's white belly.
"My enemy~"
Wang Xifeng's face was full of laziness, and she slapped Lin Chen's hand.
However.
Lin Chen was not teasing Wang Xifeng, but using his inner strength to check Wang Xifeng's body.
The inner strength in this world is omnipotent and can also serve as a B-ultrasound examination device.
After a thorough investigation, Lin Chen's eyes were full of strange colors.
"Strange."
This so-called hemorrhage is not recorded in Chinese medicine books.
It is more like a symptom created in the original book.
It is also like the heat poison of Xue Baochai and the qi deficiency of Lin Daiyu.
After a tidying up, Wang Xifeng stumbled into the house.
After all, she was a flower that was moisturized. Today, her temperament has changed a lot, like a delicate and green rose.
No, Youshi happened to pass by the inner hall and looked at Wang Xifeng suspiciously.
"Second Madam Lian?"
What did this Second Madam Lian do? Why did she become a different person from before?
Puzzled, Youshi wanted to ask Wang Xifeng what kind of tonic prescription she used, why there was such a big change in such a short time.
But Wang Xifeng heard this, a trace of unnatural color flashed across her face, and she left in a hurry after perfunctory.
Youshi was left with a confused look.
It must be said that Youshi is also a rare beauty.
However, in front of Jia Zhen, a sex-hungry ghost, how can the old be favored by the new?
Count.
Jia Zhen has not been to Youshi's room for several years.
As for the concubines in Jia Zhen's room, they have already gone to double digits.
Suddenly.
Youshi, who was worried, did not pay attention to what was in front of her and accidentally bumped into something.
Lin Chen looked at the impetuous and charming woman in front of him.
The roundness that could not be concealed jumped casually because the owner sat on the ground.
This perfect figure that can be called a gourd is the first time Lin Chen has seen it.
After hesitating for a moment, he apologized and tried to help Youshi up.
"But Master Zhen's wife? I am sorry for the inconvenience."
