At the end of winter night, it was still cold to the bone, and the lanterns were swaying privately. Lin Ran climbed over the wall and entered Princess Xinyang's mansion. The moment his feet landed, several soldiers rushed in, their swords and halberds glowing with cold light.

Seeing that the knife was about to be stabbed, she showed the waist badge that her father had given her, and shouted: "I am from the Ninth Prince's Mansion, please see Princess Xinyang."

The Princess Mansion is managed with the same set of regulations as the military camp, which is stricter than other mansions. After the soldiers received the badges, they confirmed that they belonged to the Nine Princes before leading them to the Princess's study.

Today Changle Lai is staying at the Princess Mansion, she loves to stay outside, and the people in the palace only think that she is staying in Fuyun Tower, and don't ask much.

Chang Le's lips were hurting today, so she wanted to persuade Elder Sister not to rescue Luo Qing's concubine brother, but after talking for a long time, he didn't say a word, she was so angry that she wanted to slap the table and smash the bowl.

She was so angry that she sat down and didn't want to move any more. Seeing Lin Ran being ushered in, her black robe blended into one with the black, she said, "You came to the princess mansion to steal, and you were caught?"

"Your Highness is thinking too much, I'm here to see His Highness Xinyang." Lin Ran was not in the mood to joke, Lin Si was taken away by Xinyang back then, and he should be responsible for his safety.

Xinyang's mind was very confused. Seeing Lin Ran dressed up, he waved off the soldiers, got up and drove Changle out: "You go back and rest first, I have something to do."

Chang Le refused to leave: "What are you doing with Lin Ran? In the middle of the night, are you worthy of Ah Liang? Are you worthy of Uncle Jiu?"

"Stop talking nonsense, just ignore Lin Ran's arrival, go back and rest." Xinyang threw the man out, turned around and closed the door, put the bolt on it, and looked at Lin Ran: "You shouldn't have come , the Lin family should pick it up too."

Due to the price increase last year, His Majesty has changed his view of the Lin family, and Mu Liang is not a persimmon, so he cannot be ruined by Lin Si at this time.

She looked a little haggard, and Lin Ran held back when he wanted to question, "Your Highness took Lin Si away and said he would keep him safe. What's going on today?"

"It was my negligence." Xinyang said.It's strange to say that Lin Si left Luoyang last year, so he should return to the Jiangnan area, how could he be found by Su Changlan's people.

Right now, Lin Si is being guarded, even she can't enter Dali Temple, let alone know what happened, she feels quite guilty when facing Lin Ran's questioning.

The people under the candlelight had lost their old arrogance, Lin Ran didn't want to worry too much, saving Lin Si was the most important thing, and said: "His Highness has been operating in Beijing for many years, he may rescue people, if there is no money to clear them, the Lin family can In addition, the Ninth Prince also said that he would do his best to help His Highness."

Mu Neng is loyal and courageous, Xinyang has long known, she said powerlessly: "Lin Ran, saving people from Dali Temple is very dangerous, not to mention the Lin family, just talk about Mu Neng, he treats you like a relative, like a daughter , how can you put him in danger."

"I, I, daddy said that he is not afraid of danger." Lin Ran's momentum has obviously weakened. Back then, Lin Si sent her to Mu's house without fear of danger, and arranged everything properly. Running around, now that he is in prison, he cannot stand on the shore and watch the ship sink without doing anything.

Xinyang laughed, and said: "You are smart but don't understand current affairs. The affairs of the Luo family are against His Majesty. Changle persuaded me for a day not to jump into the pit. If you can't think about it, just jump in."

"Lin Si is kind to me. Your Highness also wants to save him. He is the last branch of the Luo family. You don't want the Luo family to die." Lin Ran said seriously.Although His Highness Xinyang acted insanely, it was all within reason, and based on her friendship with Princess Luo, one could guess that she would definitely not ignore it.

Xinyang was depressed all day, he didn't want to see her break into the mansion at night, and she came in over the wall, she was quite courageous.She let go of all her defenses, leaned helplessly on the couch, and reasoned with her: "Grace is grace, but Lin Si is a pit of fire. You should stop thinking about it as soon as possible, and Su Changlan may wait for you to dance her." The hole was already dug."

"Then, why don't you save me? Your Highness can't bear it." Lin Ran gritted his teeth.

"It's natural to save, but I need your guarantee." Xinyang's eyes were vague, as if contemplative, as if absent-minded, giving people an inexplicable sentimentality.

Lin Ran has seen this kind of emotion in her body, before taking Lin Xiang away, when he saw her again, it was with a different mood.Why are you so sad now?

"Does Your Highness want money? Just ask, Lin Ran will try her best to do it."

"In your eyes, I'm the one who is used to blackmailing you with money?" Xinyang laughed sadly, seeing her standing in the hall, neither humble nor overbearing, quite strong.Although his status is not high, he has his own backbone.

She raised her head and laughed, thinking of Luo Qing's joke on the day of marriage. She said: If I have children, I will not inherit your stupidity, but I can learn your martial arts. When the children grow up, the world will be peaceful, and I don't need to learn the art of war , It is time to learn the way of doing business.With the backing of Your Highness the Princess, it is agreed to earn money.

Lin Ran is nine points like the child in her mouth, and one point is not the same, that is, he is obsessed with Mu Liang.

In fact, think about it, that point is very similar, Luo Qing was also obsessed with the same back then.

Lin Ran didn't know what to say, but she couldn't be too domineering when asking for others. She apologized: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood Your Highness."

"It's rare to see you being arrogant, that's all, it's getting late, so I'll make a long story short. Lin Si is from the Luo family, and I have the responsibility to rescue him. You can't interfere, and you are not allowed to pay attention to this matter from tomorrow on." Xinyang said.

Lin Ran was puzzled by these words, His Highness Xinyang always did not follow the rules, why didn't he take the opportunity to cheat her money this time, could it be that his conscience discovered it?

"Your Highness said, Lin Ran will follow through." She couldn't offend this unpredictable Highness.

"Okay, you should go back home earlier." Xinyang chased away the guests, opened the door and ordered someone to escort her out.

Lin Ran saluted according to the rules, confused, Xinyang looked at her dressed in black, remembered something, and called her again: "Stop."

She untied her badge from her waist and threw it to Lin Ran: "This is the badge of the Princess Mansion, you can come in and out freely."

The sudden good thing made Lin Ran dizzy, "Why did Your Highness give me this?" She didn't come here often, and what she wanted this thing for, was seen by others, who thought she had something to do with Xinyang.

She didn't want it, and wanted to throw it out, Xinyang said: "The token of this palace is more valuable than Mu Neng's."

"Then I don't want it either. Others won't be able to tell when they see it. Your Highness should keep it for himself." Lin Ran stuffed it back into her hand and followed the maidservant to leave through the side door, with a stubborn back.

Xinyang looked at the token in his hand and smiled bitterly.

****

Mu Neng waited at the mansion for a long time, with an empty flagon beside his hand, and his feet on the table, his drunken posture was rather indecent.He is used to being unrestrained, and no one cares about him. In the past, when Wei Shi was around, he might say a few words.

When Lin Ran came back, he saw the drunk man, and ran over to straighten him, "Father, how much you drank, you don't know how to restrain yourself."

"You should drink when you are happy in life, and you should drink when you are down. What do you know? If Xinyang can't be saved, if he can't be saved, I will save it. If it's a big deal, I'll take someone there..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Ran covered his mouth and said nervously: "Father, can you correct your drunken nonsense. His Highness Xinyang said to help, but he just kept me and the Mu family from meddling. Do not say."

Mu Neng was so suffocated that he pushed Lin Ran away, leaned back, and snored.

"Are you waiting for me, or drinking to your heart's content? I will tell Ah Liang to stop your drink." Lin Ran muttered, helped him back to the room to rest, and ordered the maid to take good care of the prince.

After coming out of the main house, the lights in Wutongyuan were still on, and Ah Liang was doing needlework.

Mu Liangqin knows everything about chess, calligraphy and painting, except needlework. These days, I will hand over the things in the shop to Lin, and she will embroider when she has time.Every time the embroidery is not satisfactory, brocade handkerchiefs are easy to embroider, just embroider cool characters on one corner.

If you feel monotonous, you can embroider some flowers at will, whether peonies or peonies are good, in short, Mu Liang embroidered a lot.

She waited for Lin Ran tonight, and embroidered a brocade handkerchief with nothing to do, but it still only had a corner of the handkerchief. Lin Ran laughed when she saw it: "I'm afraid Ah Liang can embroider a hundred pieces of this handkerchief overnight, so I'll put it in the embroidery workshop tomorrow." If you sell it, you will definitely make a lot of money."

"Poor mouth. What does His Highness Xinyang think?" Mu Liang cast a reproachful look at her, then calmly put away the veil, not letting the little rascal laugh again, brewed a cup of hot tea from the boiling kettle, and pushed it to her.

Lin Ran didn't feel cold, but the tea made by Ah Liang was naturally better than other people's. "His Highness Xinyang also has this kind of heart, and he didn't tell me how to save him. Just let me and the Mu family not get involved. What happened in the past? What should happen in the future, don't fall into Su Changlan's trap."

"Your Highness, can you ask for something?" Mu Liang subconsciously said, Lin Si is also a member of the Lin family, and according to Princess Xinyang's past behavior towards the Lin family, she will definitely ask.

Speaking of this, Lin Ran also felt strange, and jokingly said: "What's wrong with me, His Highness Xinyang has changed his ways?"

"Maybe she has her reasons, so don't think too much about it. It's getting late, get some rest early, and you should go to the embroidery workshop tomorrow, but you still have to go. If you meet someone from the Su family, don't bother." Mu Liang was worried, Ever since Lin Si appeared in the old house, Princess Xinyang treated Lin Ran differently.

She was a little worried about whether that matter was true.

"I'll wait a little longer. Have you finished embroidering your handkerchief? I'll finish it with you." Lin Ran didn't want to leave, and rummaged through the box where the needlework was placed on the table. When she couldn't find the square handkerchief, she turned her eyes on the In A Liang's sleeve pocket, looking down, what he saw was a slender wrist as white as jade.

She peeped restlessly again, and Mu Liang patted her on the head: "Take a rest, there are still many things to do."

Lin Ran still refused, and looked at her with his chin resting on his face, his eyes were bright and energetic, "I'm not sleepy, so I just want to stay longer, do you think Lin Xiang is Princess Luo's child?"

"I don't know, but Princess Xinyang brings people back, so it's probably true. Whether it's true or not, it's not up to you and me." Mu Liang was helpless, she knew that Lin Ran didn't care about these things, she just wanted to find Some excuses to stay a little longer.

Ah Liang finished what she wanted to ask in one sentence, and Lin Ran said directly: "I don't want to leave, I want to sleep with you."

"You can't do it on the couch. If you want to sleep on the floor, it's up to you." Mu Liang didn't want to talk to her, and it would take a lot of effort to drive her away, so it's better to let her go.

She put down her needle and thread, turned and went back to the inner room, the man followed eagerly, and through a screen, she saw her holding two thick cotton beds on the ground, holding a pillow, and ordered the maid to bring another bed back as a cover quilt.

After the floor was laid out, she took off her clothes and lay down on it, snorting softly, she turned around and faced Mu Liang: "Ah Liang, are you asleep?"

"Sleep, don't talk too much." Mu Liang reprimanded lightly, turned over, and turned his back to the chatterbox.

Lin Ran showed a small red face, the excitement was not sleepy, "How do you talk when you are asleep, Ah Liang lied to me again."

This time, no one responded, Lin Ran called out twice again, it was still the same, she knew she was not asleep, so she just ignored her.She glanced up, only to see black hair pouring down the pillow.

Ah Liang ignored him, and could only sleep.

The surroundings were quiet, and the sound of breathing became very clear. Mu Liang couldn't fall asleep listening to the sound of even breathing.

There are many thoughts in my mind, what happened to Lin Si is like a stone breaking the calm of the lake, making people unable to be peaceful.

Lin Ran had a good night's sleep. At dawn, there was no one on the bed, and the maid waited on her to wash and change her clothes.

Mu Liang's expression remained the same, he served her a bowl of millet porridge, pushed her favorite shrimp dumpling in front of her, and said, "How should I repair the backyard of the house?"

It was about the house that Lin Ran bought, and it started to be repaired in the winter of last year, mainly to change the main house.In particular, the backyard of the house occupies a large area and has been severely burned, which is equivalent to rebuilding the house.

Lin Ran was stirring the porridge, thinking of the ruins in the backyard, and said: "The backyard is too big, I'm afraid it can't be repaired in summer, why don't we change the house, turn the badly burnt area into a garden, and the rest are intact. As a guest house, presumably there will not be too many guests in the future."

The land in the garden is nothing more than planting some flowers and plants, turning over the burned land, and the work will be completed in summer.

Since the house was too late, she could only postpone the marriage until summer.

"Okay, you can tell someone to do it, and take Master Mu with you when you go out today, do you understand?" Mu Liang was worried, because he was afraid that Lin Si would say something that shouldn't be said. It can also resist for a while.

It's not good not to go out every day, which will cause people to be more confused.

"Okay, I'll be careful, bring my followers who know martial arts, and I'll come back safely." Lin Ran finished his breakfast, took a wet handkerchief, wiped his mouth, got up and was about to leave the house.

Mu Liang tidied up her clothes, but she was still a little uneasy. Looking at her spirited appearance, she felt relieved: "Come back early today, don't stay outside if you have nothing to do, and don't ask you to drink or go to the house to play. promise."

"Understood, I'll go to the shop for a while, and come back to have lunch with you." Lin Ran raised her head, and A Liang's hand was rubbing back and forth on her neck, and she suddenly remembered that A Liang still owed her a kiss.

She opened her mouth and said: "Yesterday you said you were close, but you really lied to me."

Mu Liang's hand rested on her neckline, inexplicably feeling that this action was inexplicably ambiguous, and suddenly withdrew his hand, saying: "Go early and come back early."

Lin Ran lowered his eyes and looked at his open collar, annoyed: "You can take care of it, so who can do it for me."

Mu Liang shyly said, "Do it yourself."

"Take care of yourself. When I come back at night, you won't be able to run away." Lin Ran tidied her clothes angrily, and after saying a bold statement, she felt much more at ease in her heart, and strode out.

Mu Liang was so troubled by her that she didn't have the time to think about Lin Si's affairs. When she lay back on the soft couch, the old lady sent a dowry list, and the meaning was obvious.

Although all the initiative is in Mu Liang's hands, the old lady also thinks that Lin Ran is good.

****

Lin Ran was stopped by people from Dali Temple before he left the mansion.

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple led people to enter, but was stopped by the soldiers of the palace. He brought the official document of Dali Temple and smugly said: "Dali Temple is trying the case of the Luo family's rebellious party. I heard that the rebellious party used to be the steward of the Lin family. Patriarch Lin, please go."

"You guys brought me into Dali Temple with a document, and treated me like a roadside beggar. I haven't broken the law, why should I listen to you." Lin Ran looked gloomyly at the young minister of Dali Temple opposite, and went out today My good mood was ruined.

Dali Temple Shaoqing said: "I have official documents, so I can invite Patriarch Lin to come."

"You have an unknown official document in your hand, and it's not His Majesty's imperial decree. How can I believe it?" Lin Ran is not very strong, he was caught by Su Changlan, and the person who sent the message must have been ordered by her, only a fool will follow him .

"Patriarch Lin is going to disobey?" Dali Temple Shaoqing's eyes were hawk-like, and he waved his hand to signal to several government officials who came behind him to arrest him.

The yamen servant was about to make a move, but Mu Neng strode out, glanced around, and said sarcastically, "Has the head of the case in Dali Temple lost his mind? To use a knife in this king's mansion, everyone is going to be a longevity god, and they feel that they have a long life." gone?"

"The lord wants to cover up?" The Shaoqing of Dali Temple felt a headache when he saw Mu Neng come out. He had chosen the time to go to court, but Mu Neng hadn't left the house yet. Could it be that he was waiting for him?

Mu Neng drank too much last night and didn't get up in the morning. The attendants who served him knew his routine and went to the Eight Kings Mansion to ask the Eight Kings to ask for leave on their behalf.He was supposed to sleep until noon, when Haomeng was awakened. He was extremely impatient, and pushed Lin Ran behind him, saying, "This king is protecting you? What crime are you charging for trespassing on the palace?"

"Don't get angry, my lord. I have official documents, please have a look." The Shaoqing of Dali Temple was aggrieved, knowing that Mu Neng was unreasonable, so he handed over the official documents.

If he handed it over, it didn't mean that Mu Neng would accept it.

Without even looking at it, Mu Neng counted the yamen servants who rushed into the gate of the mansion, and said: "Including you Shaoqing of Dali Temple, there are a total of 12 people, each with [-] army sticks. After the beating, talk to the king and warn me You, please register your surname before entering the mansion. If you are allowed to enter, you are guests, if you are not allowed to enter, if you come in, it is trespassing, and your legs will be broken."

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple was startled: "My lord, this is unreasonable."

"Don't talk nonsense, I'll talk to you after the fight. Whatever you want, hit the one who talks the most first. If you know the law and break the law, the crime will be increased. If you hit forty, you will kill me and support you." Mu Neng didn't get drunk. Seeing the shadow of the man, with a wave of his hand, dozens of government soldiers rushed out and held the man down.

"Lord Ninth, you are beating an official of the imperial court... it is against the law..."

"Shut up, talk so much nonsense, I've beaten people in front of His Majesty, I'm afraid that you, a person who breaks into my house, will hit you." Mu Neng waved his hand, and saw a man striding over, directly beating the young man of Dali Temple. Qing's mouth was blocked.

When Lin Ran saw this kind of scene for the first time, she didn't feel afraid, but only thought of the importance of power. If there is no daddy today, I'm afraid she will have to go if she doesn't go. If she goes to Dali Temple, she may not be able to come out safely.

There was a sound of sticks and wailing from time to time in the yard. Mu Neng took it for granted, yawned, glanced at the calm Lin Ran, and said, "When did you come back last night?"

I have completely forgotten what happened last night... Lin Ran whispered: "You forgot, I was the one who carried you back to your room last night."

"Then I don't remember, everything went well?" Mu Neng looked at the sky, feeling bored and aggrieved for a while last night, so he drank two more pots.It seems that the wine he drank last night was a bit strong, so that he couldn't remember anything.

Lin Ran replied, "Successful, don't worry."

"That's good... Ah Liang is here." Mu Neng swept over the person who was walking quickly, pushed Lin Ran over, and told her: "Take Ah Liang away, she doesn't like these scenes, go back and change into a dark color clothes, I will take you to Dali Temple to see what that Su is playing with."

Lin Ran was pushed and bumped into Mu Liang, covered her eyes with his hand, and said, "It's not good, I'll take you back to the yard."

Mu Liang's eyes were dim, but he felt relieved when he heard her voice, and stood firm: "What did father tell you?"

"Let me change my clothes and go to Dali Temple with him. Don't worry, father will not let me suffer." Lin Ran first reassured her that Dali Temple is a place where everyone's heart trembles. Don't be scared. Ah Liang.

When Mu Liang heard people from Dali Temple entering the mansion in the backyard, he came out in a hurry. Seeing Father in front of him, he felt relieved and took Lin Ran back to change into a black brocade robe.

Although the brocade robe was black, it was embroidered with flowers. After Lin Ran put it on, she became more calm and sophisticated.Mu Liang couldn't help touching her small face, "Don't be afraid, father will go there, and nothing will happen. When you come back, you will bring a piece of pistil cake from the long street. Don't forget."

Lin Ran only nodded when she really wanted to eat, and said, "I won't forget, is it still the usual one?"

"nature."

"Okay, don't worry at home. If you don't believe me, you should trust daddy." Lin Ran narrowed his eyes and smiled, boldly touched Ah Liang's ears that are always red, and took the opportunity to say: "Ah Liang, why is it always so red? Red, sometimes redder than your face."

It's all about touching, and she wants to tease her more than words, so Mu Liang doesn't feel sorry for her anymore, and said: "Father is still waiting for you, you go quickly."

"Understood, look, it's red again." Lin Ran blinked, and then glanced at the other one, which was also red. It must not have been touched by her, but by herself.

After all, her ears turned redder.

Lin Ran ran away with a smile, A Liang would not talk to her when she was shy.When they arrived at the front yard, there was a burst of wailing, and Mu Neng also changed into clean clothes, and pulled her out.

Horses and chariots were prepared outside the door, Shaoqing of Dali Temple couldn't stand upright for a long time, and was carried out of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, and it was quite a sight to be carried all the way.

When they arrived at Dali Temple, Mu Neng got off his horse, led Lin Ran in, and left Shaoqing's group in the middle of the road.

Dali Temple Minister came out to greet him, and was also surprised when he saw Mu Neng: "Which gust of wind brought the Ninth Prince here."

"The southeast and northwest wind blowing from your Dali Temple brought me here, stop talking nonsense, what do you want Lin Ran to do, and ask quickly if you have anything to say." Mu Neng was extremely impatient.

Inviting a great god to come in, Dali Temple Qinggui's intestines were green, and he didn't see Shaoqing and his party, so he said, "Where did Shaoqing go, and why is he on duty?"

He didn't dare to talk to Mu Neng, waved his hand and ordered someone to invite General Su who was interrogating the prisoner in the prison, and asked someone to make tea for Mu Neng with a smile.

Lin Ran followed Zhanguang and sat beside him drinking tea.

After a cup of tea, Su Changlan and Shaoqing's party came almost at the same time. She looked at the man in a mess and frowned, "What's going on?"

"For trespassing on the palace, the king rewarded me with forty army sticks." Mu Neng said leisurely.

Hearing this, Su Changlan was furious: "Ninth Prince, you are too deceitful."

Lin Ran pursed the corners of his lips, Dad didn't hit those people's legs, but Su Changlan's face, it was really good enough.

The author has something to say: Xiaoguai: The one who urged me to cook, will you give me water for washing the rice?
