The baby delivered to the door became the emperor
Chapter 47 Dowry
Naturally, Lin Ran didn't wake up. He had to sleep for a long time after drinking the medicine, and he woke up only a few hours ago.
Mu Liang was sitting under the lamp, and her figure came into view. She moved, moved a little to the outside, and lay on the bed.She sneaked a look and saw Ah Liang's figure under the candlelight was graceful and restrained, just like what she saw when she was a child.
Many people would think that she would dislike this marriage because of her age, but she didn't think that the people she had loved since childhood would dislike it. On the contrary, she would feel caring.
Now and in the past, Ah Liang took care of her, and when she could stand alone, she would take care of Ah Liang.
Help each other and make up for each other's shortcomings, isn't it good?
Why does it have to be love between peers? Besides, her liking for Ah Liang is not a sneaky thing, it doesn't violate morality, so why not.
She stared blankly for a long time, which brought Mu Liang back to his senses. Seeing that she woke up, she went to call the maidservant to bring some food, and said, "You are so stupid, why don't you talk?"
"If I'm really stupid, would you still want me?" Lin Ran asked curiously.
"Stupid, I don't want to push you far away, out of sight and out of mind." Mu Liang smiled lowly, patted her on the head, "Where is anyone cursing me."
"Just talk casually." Lin Ran was supported by her to sit up, leaning on the soft pillow, looking at her calm side face, staring at her silently.
The maid brought the medicine and heated it on the stove, Mu Liang fed her a bowl of millet porridge, and while she was awake, said: "I went to see him today, although I am alive, I am afraid that my body will not be as good as before. "
"It's fate, don't force it. I have always wondered how Su Changlan knew where he lived. This is very strange." Lin Ran was not only surprised, but also felt that there must be a big secret behind this matter. Lin Si was just the Luo family. The old man can be killed, why bother to torture and persecute.
Many things are like a cloud of fog that cannot be solved.
When she was puzzled, her eyebrows would be raised, and Mu Liang patted her on the head: "Young and mature."
"Then do you know what Su Changlan's purpose is?" Lin Ran rubbed his head, and after rubbing it twice, Ah Liang stretched out his hand, stroking his eyebrows with his fingertips.
Light as a hand holding a flowing cloud, she was in the middle of the cloud, dazed, she looked at that white hand, with icy muscles and bones.
Mu Liang rubbed it twice and stopped, explaining to her: "For the family property that disappeared from the Luo family."
"What kind of new thing is this?" Lin Ran asked in surprise, just now when she was rubbing comfortably, she held Ah Liang's hand and wanted her to continue rubbing it, but she stopped moving after holding it, holding it first and then talking.
"It's not a new thing. Someone once said that His Majesty removed the Luo family first for money, and second for killing chickens and monkeys. It's just that after the defeat of the Luo family, the money disappeared. Therefore, after the appearance of the concubine of the Luo family, Su Changlan used torture to force him to tell the truth about the money." place."
"It's been so many years, can we still find it? Besides, the Lin family has been in front for these years, and there are no new merchants. Could it be that the Luo family has built a treasure house?" Lin Ran was puzzled, and held A Liang's hand. Probe to the wrist.
Mu Liang is a sensitive woman, how could she not know her small movements, helped her to lie down again, and said: "Drink the medicine after a while."
Lin Ran is not interested in those old things, as long as the Lin family's business is good and Ah Liang is hers, the rest of the matter will be put on the table and left alone.There are too many things going on in Luoyang City, if you don't manage well, you will drag yourself into a mud pit.
She felt bored without A Liang's touch, touched her head, and said, "A Liang, my fever has subsided."
"I have to recuperate for a few days after I retire. I'm in a hurry." Mu Liang went to the small stove to bring out the medicinal soup, put it on the small table, and said: "The outside is very chaotic, why don't you stay in the mansion Ansheng, as for Luoyue, we Redeemed her and married a good family."
Lin Ran was feeling sorry, when he suddenly heard Luoyue's name, he felt strange: "Who is Luoyue?"
At a young age, I have a bad memory.Mu Liang didn't mention this matter anymore, it's a good thing not to remember, and handed her the medicine: "Drink it and go to bed, and I will do other things."
Lin Ran obediently went to sleep, thinking carefully, she had occupied Ah Liang's bed for several days.
Where does Ah Liang sleep these days?
****
The matter of donating food was a matter of course, without too many obstacles.
In order to show the majesty of the emperor, the prince of the East Palace entertained merchants in the East Palace.
This is a great favor for the merchants. If there is no banquet from the prince, they will not be able to enter the palace for the rest of their lives due to their low status.All of them were naturally grateful to Dade, changed into new clothes and waited to enter the palace.
When the decree arrived at the Lin Mansion, Lin Ran was still recovering from illness, shooting arrows alone in the courtyard, the servants from the Eastern Palace came to deliver the decree, and asked to see her by name.
Mu Liang was not in the mansion, she didn't want to go to the East Palace, so she continued to pretend to be sick, trying to dismiss the servant.
Unexpectedly, the servants in the palace have high eyesight, they will not leave unless they see anyone, and they will not pass on orders, just like the master in the East Palace, they don't like to see merchants.Lin Ran thought for a while and said, "Just let him wait, don't worry about it."
She just wanted to test her arm strength when she was shooting an arrow. She has been recuperating recently, and she has no strength in her body, and she can't even draw the bow.
After pulling for a long time, I felt exhausted, sweating profusely, and lost patience looking at the target, so I turned around and went to the school field to practice sticks.
The servant waited until it was dark, and finally arrived at Mu Liang.
Mu Liang came from the palace, and the grandmother was not there, so the affairs of the palace were in chaos, and it took a day to sort it out.In the palace, I heard the news that the servants in the East Palace were getting bigger. After seeing the person, he didn't smile, but said: "Patriarch Lin has caught the cold and hasn't left the courtyard for several days. Tell His Highness the Crown Prince that Patriarch Lin can't go."
The servant did not agree: "I'm afraid it won't work. It is a great favor for the crown prince to bestow favor on the merchants. Patriarch Lin has to go, and he must not disappoint the prince's kindness."
"It's a good thing to be kind, but it's a big thing if you want to hurt your peace." Mu Liang remained calm.
The servant swallowed her saliva under her pressure, and said forcefully, "This is the order of His Highness the Crown Prince. Is the princess looking down on His Highness?"
"Patriarch Lin is sick, and he didn't intend to go. It has nothing to do with being respectable. It's getting late, and the servant should go back to the palace." Mu Liang glanced at the invitation in his hand, motioned the maid to accept it, and then went backyard.
A small episode, harmless.Mu Liang never cared about it, Lin Ran was playing chess with himself in the house, one hand was white and the other was black, and the maid kept reminding her: "Patriarch, you are going wrong, this is not how the master of the slave looks."
The sunspot in Lin Ran's hand could not be dropped, and he asked instead, "How did Princess Bai Zi leave?"
How could this be playing chess? Mu Liang laughed, walked closer and said, "Do you remember my chess moves?"
"Can't remember, don't want to remember, by the way, the servants of the Eastern Palace are gone?" Lin Ran threw away the gloves in both hands, looked up at A Liang, his eyebrows and eyes were curved, and he was quite energetic.
Mu Liang ordered the servant girl to put away the chess pieces, set up dinner, and said: "Let's go, the people in the palace are bullying others. If you are soft, they will be tough. If the servants come over, they will not get rewards, so go back to the palace." In the end, it is necessary to add oil and vinegar."
"The prince doesn't have a good impression of the outside world, and there is no need for them to say good things about it, but why does the prince have a banquet?" Lin Ran said, she thought about it for a day today, but she still didn't understand what the prince meant.
Mu Liang said casually: "The prince's move is just to let those merchants know that Jiangshan's surname is Chen, not Su."
"Is it too late at this time, the prince has eaten breakfast to buy fritters, it's too late." Lin Ran sneered, and didn't want to talk too much about the prince's thoughts.
After the maid served the meal, the two stopped talking about the East Palace. Lin Ran took a piece of fish for Mu Liang and said, "The fish is fresh, and it was delivered today. The wine shop picked up the good ones and sent them away."
Mu Liang looked at the white and tender fish meat, and remembered what his father said today, either he would not get married, and live a lifetime of dishonor, or he should act faster. Right now, Xinyang doesn't know Lin Ran's identity, maybe she will stop her if she knows, etc. When her foolishness comes to her senses, Xiao Xiaoguai will be there.
Lin Ran buried himself in picking fish bones, and never noticed Ah Liang's twinkling eyes. The fish is delicious, but the spines are hard to pick.In the past, Ah Liang would pick it for her when eating, but today she picks it.
The two had their own concerns, and they didn't talk to each other after a meal, and Mu Liang sighed silently as he tried to talk a few times.
After dinner, Mu Liang went to the study to deal with the business of the shop. Lin Ran felt that he was in good health, so he followed along, and the two of them divided the work.
The Lin residence was quiet, even quieter than the palace. In the past, Lin Ran talked more, while Mu Liang talked less.During the day, the stewards went there, and it was a bit lively, after all, it was too deserted.
Lin Ran didn't take it seriously, it was the same in Nancheng, but Nancheng was lively and the customs were different from here.
The riots in Luoyang these days have made people's hearts uneasy, and everyone sighed, and they were not in the mood to play around.
Lin Ran lowered his eyes to look at the newly made spring shirt styles in the embroidery workshop, and said, "Send some of these styles to the south as well, and then send some of the south styles as well, so that both sides will find it novel, do you think it's good?"
"It's okay to think about it in a different position, but the city gate has been closed recently, and the contact with the south has been less. I will let the steward do it tomorrow and explore the way." Mu Liang praised a few words and then smiled.
There are no pedantic and outdated thoughts in Lin Ran's head, maybe it's the thoughts of young people, which are colorful.
After Haishi, Mu Liang called the maidservant to prepare hot water and urged Lin Ran to go back to the house to rest earlier.
Lin Ran glanced at her: "Then why don't you leave?"
"There are still general affairs in the palace, I brought them back, and I'll go back to you when I'm done." Mu Liang said in a warm voice, the expression under the lamp was extremely gentle, making it impossible to refuse.
Lin Ran fell into her warm pit, and obediently went back to the house with the maid to wash and rest.
As soon as she left, Mu Liang had an extra betrothal gift list in his hand. Looking at the countless treasures on it, she was a little entangled.
The matter of status is not what she insists on, but her father cares about it. Since one step is wrong, there is no turning back.She was standing on the edge of the cliff a long time ago, one foot went out, and she couldn't take it back.
After thinking about it, she returned to her bedroom with the dowry list before midnight.
Lin Ran lay down on the couch to untie Nine Links, which Mu Liang found to relieve her boredom a few days ago, if she couldn't untie it no matter what, it was just an exercise of finger strength.After seeing A Liang come back in a daze, she got up nervously: "Has something difficult happened to the palace?"
"It's nothing, Dad gave me something today, you can see for yourself." Mu Liang handed the list to her, turned around and left, and went to the next door to wash and change clothes.
She almost ran away, leaving Lin Ran at a loss. There were only some treasure lists on the paper, which were similar to the betrothal gift list she had drawn up, but there were many things that were different.
Sitting on the couch and thinking about it, the handwriting on it is not A Liang's, so it can be seen that it was not A Liang's drawing, so who did it?
Which one wants the dowry?
Could it be that the Lin family is asking for money?The things on this list are worth a lot of money, so A Liang is not easy to talk about.
The Lin family has always been in charge of Ah Liang, and Ah Liang doesn't need her consent, think about it, isn't it?
This is a little unpredictable?
Dad is going to marry a new princess, there is no money to pay the dowry, let the Lin family do it?That's fine too, Father raised her, just like her adoptive father, it's okay to spend some money.
It's just that this gift is a bit heavy, which girl wants so much money?
It's not that she feels sorry for Yin Zi, it's just that she feels that Father has been tricked by others, so why don't you talk to A Liang.She wasn't being stingy, she just wanted to see which girl the other party was.
Ask Ah Liang when he comes back, these rituals are too heavy.
After she figured it out, Mu Liang just came back. She changed into plain pajamas with the word cool embroidered on the cuff.When Lin Ran saw it, she felt envious and said, "Embroider one for me too."
"You have it in your closet too, where do you need to embroider it again?" Mu Liang looked unnaturally, and patted her little hands fumbling at her cuffs away, seeing the dowry list on the table from the corner of her eye, her eyebrows twitched.
Lin Ran didn't take it seriously, and said nonsense, "If you don't want those, I want your cold word, but the word is not good-looking."
Too picky, Mu Liang didn't care about it, and obeyed her: "That's fine, I'll do it in a few days."
"Okay, then I'll wait." After Lin Ran succeeded, she moved to the back of the couch. The two of them have been sleeping together these days. As long as she is quiet and doesn't mess around, Ah Liang will not force her to sleep floor covering.
After lying down, Ah Liang handed the list to her again without saying a word.
She took it over and said, "Ah Liang, isn't it too expensive?"
What she said surprised Mu Liang, it was based on the customs and rules of Luoyang City, and some additions were added according to the background of the Lin family, but Lin Ran is not a fussy person, nor would he consider it precious.
But Lin Ran said so, and she couldn't force it: "Then delete some."
"That's not necessary. It's just that daddy is going to marry a new princess. It's good to have more dowry. As long as the girl is good, it doesn't matter how many there are. Then, which girl is it?" Lin Ran babbled a few words, let Mu Liang's expression turned cold.
She was angry, but seeing Lin Ran's dazed look, she wondered if the high fever had burned her head, so she stopped being angry, and instead asked tentatively, "Then which girl do you think can afford these betrothal gifts?"
Lin Ran didn't know her temptation, so he thought about it seriously, and said, "I don't know either. The matter of marriage depends on whether the two have a good understanding. Anyway, I don't think it's good."
If she speaks badly, it is not good, causing Mu Liang to pull her little ears: "If you don't want to marry, that's fine. Why are you talking so much? The list made by grandma is not good?"
"Ah Liang, I'm just saying, if you think it's too little, you can add more. The Lin family's affairs are up to you, and I won't interfere." Lin Ran was baffled by what he said. He clearly said daddy, but why did he talk about her again.
She covered her ears and picked up the list, and added in a low voice: "I'm sure that's more than that when I marry you. You're very angry. Daddy doesn't agree with our marriage, and instead showed me this, just to make me angry."
It was a mistake to please Mu Liang, she gave her a glance: "Then you go to the palace to find father tomorrow, and tell him that you are not going to marry."
"I won't marry? Who should I marry?" Lin Ran suddenly lost her mind. She raised her head and looked at A Liang's angry appearance. She touched her hot ears and said strangely: "Will you marry me? Except you, no one else can marry her." married."
After being confused, he realized it in an instant, and raised his eyebrows: "Father agrees?"
"I don't know." Mu Liang pursed her lips and lay down with Lin Ran on her back.Lin Ran walked over and hugged her shoulder: "Do you want to add some to the list just now?"
Just now I thought it was my father who married the princess, but now I think it's me, and I feel a little selfish, but Mu Liang smiled, what a child.
She didn't answer, but Lin Ran was still very excited, hugged her and murmured: "The princess mansion will not be repaired until summer, should we get married here first and then move there, or wait for the princess mansion to be repaired before getting married, you What do you think is good."
Mu Liang still didn't answer, but patted her hand back, signaling her to go to bed earlier.
"I can't sleep, you talk to me, daddy said something, why did he suddenly change his mind. He agreed to get married before he even saw me, is he trying to trick me into going back home?"
Lin Ran was not confident, especially when he was thrown out by his father that day, he lost all face and face, but he changed his mind in only one month, which was not in line with his temperament.
She said suspiciously: "Ah Liang, Dad suddenly changed his mind."
Mu Neng's idea is to get married early and get rid of his troubles early, so as not to be intercepted by Xinyang in time and bring a series of troubles.Assuming that Lin Ran is really Lin Fang's daughter, she has nothing to do with the Luo family or Xinyang.
When she finds out, the two of them are already married, and there is no need to regret it.
This is the highest state of cooking raw rice and cooked rice.
Naturally, Mu Liang didn't tell Lin Ran about such shameless thoughts, but said, "I don't know, you can ask him yourself. Prepare some good wine tomorrow, say a few soft words, and call me a few more times." Dad, it's all right."
"Really?" Lin Ran still didn't believe it, but she knew that Dad's weakness was good wine, so she didn't doubt it after thinking about it deeply.
She was so excited that she couldn't sleep, and she didn't fall asleep until dawn.Mu Liang is the same, but she has a deep temper, she gets up as usual, and asks people to go to the wine shop to find a few jars of good wine.
There are good and bad wines in the wine shop. Good wines are treasured, and ordinary people can't buy them at high prices. They are the treasures of the town.
Lin Ran just woke up when the wine was found. He was supposed to be a little dazed and couldn't open his eyelids, but when he thought of going to see Father today, he immediately woke up.She got up in a hurry to change clothes, wash and have breakfast.
Before leaving, Mu Liang told her: "You should respond to what your father says, don't be silly, and be careful that he will throw you out of the house again."
"I know, I will answer him for everything, but only one thing, I can't take you back to the palace." Lin Ran said seriously.She also has a petty temper, but she doesn't dare to get angry with Dad.
Mu Liang said: "If he said this, then you shouldn't, just leave the house."
"That's good, I'll go." Lin Ran happily led the people away.
****
Soldiers in twos and threes were seen patrolling the streets of Luoyang, and many shops were closed, afraid to open.The shop of the Lin family is not afraid of these things, they still open the door of the hall, but there are much fewer customers than before.
Lin Ran counted the time when his father would go to court, so he let the horse walk a little slower, and took advantage of the opportunity to look at the scene on the streets of Luoyang.
In front of the shops, there are mostly busy guys cleaning the doors and windows, and occasionally pedestrians come in.Su Zhao and his friends came out of the Fuyun Tower, and happened to meet the leisurely Lin Ran, and the two couldn't help but pinch each other as soon as they met.
Lin Ran is sensible, today she is going to meet her father to talk about getting married, and she can't fight, so she rode away and Su Zhao rode to follow.
Riding a horse on the streets of Luoyang and hurting people is punishable by a board. Seeing her chasing after her, Lin Ran had to slow down, "What are you chasing me for?"
"What are you talking about? It's been a long time since we've seen each other so we need to say hello." Su Zhao's horse stood in front of Lin Ran, and it was Lin Ran's good deed to take the lead in her current completion.
If it wasn't for Lin Ran, there wouldn't be Princess Xinyang for being aggressive enough to make her lose her military post.
Lin Ran is not a fool, and she understands the reason why the visitors are not kind. She glanced at the people around her and said, "There are all people here, and it's not appropriate for you to say hello. Why don't you change to a clean place and choose a school yard? What do you think?" how?"
Su Zhao was defeated by Lin Ran. She knew her family's shortcomings, so she didn't agree. Instead, she said, "I think this place is pretty good. How about you and I race horses?"
"The horse racing is still free. My horse is in a bad mood today, and he can't run when he sees people he hates. It's better to wait another day." Zhao Yin interrupted.
"The coward should stop?" Su Zhao provoked her with a sneer, and the people behind him also laughed in agreement.
Lin Ran touched his new robe, there was a word Ran on the cuff, which was embroidered by A Liang.She couldn't embroider hundreds of flowers, but could only embroider the word Liangran beautifully. Lin Ran smiled, and didn't care about Su Zhao's provocation, and said, "I have a thick skin, so I don't worry about your laughing. I have something to do today, and I will invite you another day." Go to Fuyun Tower to drink flower wine, if you block me, you won’t be able to drink flower wine next time.”
She doesn't fight in Luoyang City, knowing that she is not a celebrity, and it is not good to provoke others.
She wanted to calm things down, but Su Zhao disagreed: "Patriarch Lin is so timid, is it because we scared him?"
A lot of people gathered on the street, and many people were watching the excitement. Both of them were young gentlemen in brocade clothes, and their temperament was not bad, and they spoke with hostility, so scared that they didn't dare to come forward.
Lin Ran had a headache, and if it was delayed, it would be time for Father to go out for a drink. She simply ignored it and rode away. Su Zhao was still chasing her, not forgetting to stimulate her with words.
The people on the street gave way one after another. When they arrived in the south of the city, they met a few adults who were going down to court. Lin Ran knew what was going on, stopped the horse, and said to Su Zhao who was chasing after him: "Riding a horse is not fun, why don't you and I compete. How about it. If you lose, just kneel on the ground and kowtow, how about it?"
"Fighting is not fun, just horse racing." Su Zhao disagreed.
"If you don't fight, go home. Don't delay my marriage. Get out." Lin Ran couldn't take it anymore. This place is an official residence, so you can't get close at will. If you have two legs, you won't be afraid of being broken, so I will race horses with you.
She glanced forward and said, "Hey, why is His Highness Xinyang here?"
Su Zhao was startled suddenly, she held the reins tightly and looked forward, there were several people in armor walking in front of her, but there was no Xinyang, she knew she had been fooled, and looked back at Lin Ran, all of them were gone.
She looked at the group of friends, "It's really stupid, won't you stop her from running?"
The few people succumbed to the power of the Su family, and they didn't dare to speak back, so they asked her to curse a few words.
Lin, who escaped, regretted that he didn't bring more servants out today, otherwise he would not have met such a coward as Su Zhao. She dismounted in front of the gate of the palace, handed the wine to the doorman, and asked, "Is daddy back?"
The doorman took the wine: "I'm back, His Highness Xinyang is also here, and the two of you are talking in the hall."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xin Yang strode out and looked at Lin Ran: "Are you cured?"
"Okay, thank you, Your Highness, for your concern." Lin Ran hated his crow's mouth, and he really saw her when he mentioned it casually.
When she lowered her eyes, she heard Xin Yang say: "Aren't you afraid that the Nine Kings will beat you up when you come to the palace?"
"Father asked me to come here to discuss marriage, and he won't hit people without reason." She still chose to explain to avoid misunderstanding.
When Xinyang heard the word "marriage", he looked her up and down, and said sarcastically: "When you grow a little taller, do you have a wrong mind?"
Lin Ran was not happy, and retorted: "A Liang and I got engaged 15 years ago, how can we be so delusional?"
The author has something to say: Xiaoguai: Don't delay my marriage, even my mother.
I came on time, and the red envelopes in the previous chapters were sent out.
Thank you for your nutrition, thank you! ! !
Mu Liang was sitting under the lamp, and her figure came into view. She moved, moved a little to the outside, and lay on the bed.She sneaked a look and saw Ah Liang's figure under the candlelight was graceful and restrained, just like what she saw when she was a child.
Many people would think that she would dislike this marriage because of her age, but she didn't think that the people she had loved since childhood would dislike it. On the contrary, she would feel caring.
Now and in the past, Ah Liang took care of her, and when she could stand alone, she would take care of Ah Liang.
Help each other and make up for each other's shortcomings, isn't it good?
Why does it have to be love between peers? Besides, her liking for Ah Liang is not a sneaky thing, it doesn't violate morality, so why not.
She stared blankly for a long time, which brought Mu Liang back to his senses. Seeing that she woke up, she went to call the maidservant to bring some food, and said, "You are so stupid, why don't you talk?"
"If I'm really stupid, would you still want me?" Lin Ran asked curiously.
"Stupid, I don't want to push you far away, out of sight and out of mind." Mu Liang smiled lowly, patted her on the head, "Where is anyone cursing me."
"Just talk casually." Lin Ran was supported by her to sit up, leaning on the soft pillow, looking at her calm side face, staring at her silently.
The maid brought the medicine and heated it on the stove, Mu Liang fed her a bowl of millet porridge, and while she was awake, said: "I went to see him today, although I am alive, I am afraid that my body will not be as good as before. "
"It's fate, don't force it. I have always wondered how Su Changlan knew where he lived. This is very strange." Lin Ran was not only surprised, but also felt that there must be a big secret behind this matter. Lin Si was just the Luo family. The old man can be killed, why bother to torture and persecute.
Many things are like a cloud of fog that cannot be solved.
When she was puzzled, her eyebrows would be raised, and Mu Liang patted her on the head: "Young and mature."
"Then do you know what Su Changlan's purpose is?" Lin Ran rubbed his head, and after rubbing it twice, Ah Liang stretched out his hand, stroking his eyebrows with his fingertips.
Light as a hand holding a flowing cloud, she was in the middle of the cloud, dazed, she looked at that white hand, with icy muscles and bones.
Mu Liang rubbed it twice and stopped, explaining to her: "For the family property that disappeared from the Luo family."
"What kind of new thing is this?" Lin Ran asked in surprise, just now when she was rubbing comfortably, she held Ah Liang's hand and wanted her to continue rubbing it, but she stopped moving after holding it, holding it first and then talking.
"It's not a new thing. Someone once said that His Majesty removed the Luo family first for money, and second for killing chickens and monkeys. It's just that after the defeat of the Luo family, the money disappeared. Therefore, after the appearance of the concubine of the Luo family, Su Changlan used torture to force him to tell the truth about the money." place."
"It's been so many years, can we still find it? Besides, the Lin family has been in front for these years, and there are no new merchants. Could it be that the Luo family has built a treasure house?" Lin Ran was puzzled, and held A Liang's hand. Probe to the wrist.
Mu Liang is a sensitive woman, how could she not know her small movements, helped her to lie down again, and said: "Drink the medicine after a while."
Lin Ran is not interested in those old things, as long as the Lin family's business is good and Ah Liang is hers, the rest of the matter will be put on the table and left alone.There are too many things going on in Luoyang City, if you don't manage well, you will drag yourself into a mud pit.
She felt bored without A Liang's touch, touched her head, and said, "A Liang, my fever has subsided."
"I have to recuperate for a few days after I retire. I'm in a hurry." Mu Liang went to the small stove to bring out the medicinal soup, put it on the small table, and said: "The outside is very chaotic, why don't you stay in the mansion Ansheng, as for Luoyue, we Redeemed her and married a good family."
Lin Ran was feeling sorry, when he suddenly heard Luoyue's name, he felt strange: "Who is Luoyue?"
At a young age, I have a bad memory.Mu Liang didn't mention this matter anymore, it's a good thing not to remember, and handed her the medicine: "Drink it and go to bed, and I will do other things."
Lin Ran obediently went to sleep, thinking carefully, she had occupied Ah Liang's bed for several days.
Where does Ah Liang sleep these days?

The matter of donating food was a matter of course, without too many obstacles.
In order to show the majesty of the emperor, the prince of the East Palace entertained merchants in the East Palace.
This is a great favor for the merchants. If there is no banquet from the prince, they will not be able to enter the palace for the rest of their lives due to their low status.All of them were naturally grateful to Dade, changed into new clothes and waited to enter the palace.

Mu Liang was not in the mansion, she didn't want to go to the East Palace, so she continued to pretend to be sick, trying to dismiss the servant.
Unexpectedly, the servants in the palace have high eyesight, they will not leave unless they see anyone, and they will not pass on orders, just like the master in the East Palace, they don't like to see merchants.Lin Ran thought for a while and said, "Just let him wait, don't worry about it."
She just wanted to test her arm strength when she was shooting an arrow. She has been recuperating recently, and she has no strength in her body, and she can't even draw the bow.
After pulling for a long time, I felt exhausted, sweating profusely, and lost patience looking at the target, so I turned around and went to the school field to practice sticks.
The servant waited until it was dark, and finally arrived at Mu Liang.
Mu Liang came from the palace, and the grandmother was not there, so the affairs of the palace were in chaos, and it took a day to sort it out.In the palace, I heard the news that the servants in the East Palace were getting bigger. After seeing the person, he didn't smile, but said: "Patriarch Lin has caught the cold and hasn't left the courtyard for several days. Tell His Highness the Crown Prince that Patriarch Lin can't go."
The servant did not agree: "I'm afraid it won't work. It is a great favor for the crown prince to bestow favor on the merchants. Patriarch Lin has to go, and he must not disappoint the prince's kindness."
"It's a good thing to be kind, but it's a big thing if you want to hurt your peace." Mu Liang remained calm.
The servant swallowed her saliva under her pressure, and said forcefully, "This is the order of His Highness the Crown Prince. Is the princess looking down on His Highness?"
"Patriarch Lin is sick, and he didn't intend to go. It has nothing to do with being respectable. It's getting late, and the servant should go back to the palace." Mu Liang glanced at the invitation in his hand, motioned the maid to accept it, and then went backyard.
A small episode, harmless.Mu Liang never cared about it, Lin Ran was playing chess with himself in the house, one hand was white and the other was black, and the maid kept reminding her: "Patriarch, you are going wrong, this is not how the master of the slave looks."
The sunspot in Lin Ran's hand could not be dropped, and he asked instead, "How did Princess Bai Zi leave?"
How could this be playing chess? Mu Liang laughed, walked closer and said, "Do you remember my chess moves?"
"Can't remember, don't want to remember, by the way, the servants of the Eastern Palace are gone?" Lin Ran threw away the gloves in both hands, looked up at A Liang, his eyebrows and eyes were curved, and he was quite energetic.
Mu Liang ordered the servant girl to put away the chess pieces, set up dinner, and said: "Let's go, the people in the palace are bullying others. If you are soft, they will be tough. If the servants come over, they will not get rewards, so go back to the palace." In the end, it is necessary to add oil and vinegar."
"The prince doesn't have a good impression of the outside world, and there is no need for them to say good things about it, but why does the prince have a banquet?" Lin Ran said, she thought about it for a day today, but she still didn't understand what the prince meant.
Mu Liang said casually: "The prince's move is just to let those merchants know that Jiangshan's surname is Chen, not Su."
"Is it too late at this time, the prince has eaten breakfast to buy fritters, it's too late." Lin Ran sneered, and didn't want to talk too much about the prince's thoughts.
After the maid served the meal, the two stopped talking about the East Palace. Lin Ran took a piece of fish for Mu Liang and said, "The fish is fresh, and it was delivered today. The wine shop picked up the good ones and sent them away."
Mu Liang looked at the white and tender fish meat, and remembered what his father said today, either he would not get married, and live a lifetime of dishonor, or he should act faster. Right now, Xinyang doesn't know Lin Ran's identity, maybe she will stop her if she knows, etc. When her foolishness comes to her senses, Xiao Xiaoguai will be there.
Lin Ran buried himself in picking fish bones, and never noticed Ah Liang's twinkling eyes. The fish is delicious, but the spines are hard to pick.In the past, Ah Liang would pick it for her when eating, but today she picks it.
The two had their own concerns, and they didn't talk to each other after a meal, and Mu Liang sighed silently as he tried to talk a few times.
After dinner, Mu Liang went to the study to deal with the business of the shop. Lin Ran felt that he was in good health, so he followed along, and the two of them divided the work.
The Lin residence was quiet, even quieter than the palace. In the past, Lin Ran talked more, while Mu Liang talked less.During the day, the stewards went there, and it was a bit lively, after all, it was too deserted.
Lin Ran didn't take it seriously, it was the same in Nancheng, but Nancheng was lively and the customs were different from here.
The riots in Luoyang these days have made people's hearts uneasy, and everyone sighed, and they were not in the mood to play around.
Lin Ran lowered his eyes to look at the newly made spring shirt styles in the embroidery workshop, and said, "Send some of these styles to the south as well, and then send some of the south styles as well, so that both sides will find it novel, do you think it's good?"
"It's okay to think about it in a different position, but the city gate has been closed recently, and the contact with the south has been less. I will let the steward do it tomorrow and explore the way." Mu Liang praised a few words and then smiled.
There are no pedantic and outdated thoughts in Lin Ran's head, maybe it's the thoughts of young people, which are colorful.
After Haishi, Mu Liang called the maidservant to prepare hot water and urged Lin Ran to go back to the house to rest earlier.
Lin Ran glanced at her: "Then why don't you leave?"
"There are still general affairs in the palace, I brought them back, and I'll go back to you when I'm done." Mu Liang said in a warm voice, the expression under the lamp was extremely gentle, making it impossible to refuse.
Lin Ran fell into her warm pit, and obediently went back to the house with the maid to wash and rest.
As soon as she left, Mu Liang had an extra betrothal gift list in his hand. Looking at the countless treasures on it, she was a little entangled.
The matter of status is not what she insists on, but her father cares about it. Since one step is wrong, there is no turning back.She was standing on the edge of the cliff a long time ago, one foot went out, and she couldn't take it back.
After thinking about it, she returned to her bedroom with the dowry list before midnight.
Lin Ran lay down on the couch to untie Nine Links, which Mu Liang found to relieve her boredom a few days ago, if she couldn't untie it no matter what, it was just an exercise of finger strength.After seeing A Liang come back in a daze, she got up nervously: "Has something difficult happened to the palace?"
"It's nothing, Dad gave me something today, you can see for yourself." Mu Liang handed the list to her, turned around and left, and went to the next door to wash and change clothes.
She almost ran away, leaving Lin Ran at a loss. There were only some treasure lists on the paper, which were similar to the betrothal gift list she had drawn up, but there were many things that were different.
Sitting on the couch and thinking about it, the handwriting on it is not A Liang's, so it can be seen that it was not A Liang's drawing, so who did it?
Which one wants the dowry?
Could it be that the Lin family is asking for money?The things on this list are worth a lot of money, so A Liang is not easy to talk about.
The Lin family has always been in charge of Ah Liang, and Ah Liang doesn't need her consent, think about it, isn't it?
This is a little unpredictable?
Dad is going to marry a new princess, there is no money to pay the dowry, let the Lin family do it?That's fine too, Father raised her, just like her adoptive father, it's okay to spend some money.
It's just that this gift is a bit heavy, which girl wants so much money?
It's not that she feels sorry for Yin Zi, it's just that she feels that Father has been tricked by others, so why don't you talk to A Liang.She wasn't being stingy, she just wanted to see which girl the other party was.
Ask Ah Liang when he comes back, these rituals are too heavy.
After she figured it out, Mu Liang just came back. She changed into plain pajamas with the word cool embroidered on the cuff.When Lin Ran saw it, she felt envious and said, "Embroider one for me too."
"You have it in your closet too, where do you need to embroider it again?" Mu Liang looked unnaturally, and patted her little hands fumbling at her cuffs away, seeing the dowry list on the table from the corner of her eye, her eyebrows twitched.
Lin Ran didn't take it seriously, and said nonsense, "If you don't want those, I want your cold word, but the word is not good-looking."
Too picky, Mu Liang didn't care about it, and obeyed her: "That's fine, I'll do it in a few days."
"Okay, then I'll wait." After Lin Ran succeeded, she moved to the back of the couch. The two of them have been sleeping together these days. As long as she is quiet and doesn't mess around, Ah Liang will not force her to sleep floor covering.
After lying down, Ah Liang handed the list to her again without saying a word.
She took it over and said, "Ah Liang, isn't it too expensive?"
What she said surprised Mu Liang, it was based on the customs and rules of Luoyang City, and some additions were added according to the background of the Lin family, but Lin Ran is not a fussy person, nor would he consider it precious.
But Lin Ran said so, and she couldn't force it: "Then delete some."
"That's not necessary. It's just that daddy is going to marry a new princess. It's good to have more dowry. As long as the girl is good, it doesn't matter how many there are. Then, which girl is it?" Lin Ran babbled a few words, let Mu Liang's expression turned cold.
She was angry, but seeing Lin Ran's dazed look, she wondered if the high fever had burned her head, so she stopped being angry, and instead asked tentatively, "Then which girl do you think can afford these betrothal gifts?"
Lin Ran didn't know her temptation, so he thought about it seriously, and said, "I don't know either. The matter of marriage depends on whether the two have a good understanding. Anyway, I don't think it's good."
If she speaks badly, it is not good, causing Mu Liang to pull her little ears: "If you don't want to marry, that's fine. Why are you talking so much? The list made by grandma is not good?"
"Ah Liang, I'm just saying, if you think it's too little, you can add more. The Lin family's affairs are up to you, and I won't interfere." Lin Ran was baffled by what he said. He clearly said daddy, but why did he talk about her again.
She covered her ears and picked up the list, and added in a low voice: "I'm sure that's more than that when I marry you. You're very angry. Daddy doesn't agree with our marriage, and instead showed me this, just to make me angry."
It was a mistake to please Mu Liang, she gave her a glance: "Then you go to the palace to find father tomorrow, and tell him that you are not going to marry."
"I won't marry? Who should I marry?" Lin Ran suddenly lost her mind. She raised her head and looked at A Liang's angry appearance. She touched her hot ears and said strangely: "Will you marry me? Except you, no one else can marry her." married."
After being confused, he realized it in an instant, and raised his eyebrows: "Father agrees?"
"I don't know." Mu Liang pursed her lips and lay down with Lin Ran on her back.Lin Ran walked over and hugged her shoulder: "Do you want to add some to the list just now?"
Just now I thought it was my father who married the princess, but now I think it's me, and I feel a little selfish, but Mu Liang smiled, what a child.
She didn't answer, but Lin Ran was still very excited, hugged her and murmured: "The princess mansion will not be repaired until summer, should we get married here first and then move there, or wait for the princess mansion to be repaired before getting married, you What do you think is good."
Mu Liang still didn't answer, but patted her hand back, signaling her to go to bed earlier.
"I can't sleep, you talk to me, daddy said something, why did he suddenly change his mind. He agreed to get married before he even saw me, is he trying to trick me into going back home?"
Lin Ran was not confident, especially when he was thrown out by his father that day, he lost all face and face, but he changed his mind in only one month, which was not in line with his temperament.
She said suspiciously: "Ah Liang, Dad suddenly changed his mind."
Mu Neng's idea is to get married early and get rid of his troubles early, so as not to be intercepted by Xinyang in time and bring a series of troubles.Assuming that Lin Ran is really Lin Fang's daughter, she has nothing to do with the Luo family or Xinyang.
When she finds out, the two of them are already married, and there is no need to regret it.
This is the highest state of cooking raw rice and cooked rice.
Naturally, Mu Liang didn't tell Lin Ran about such shameless thoughts, but said, "I don't know, you can ask him yourself. Prepare some good wine tomorrow, say a few soft words, and call me a few more times." Dad, it's all right."
"Really?" Lin Ran still didn't believe it, but she knew that Dad's weakness was good wine, so she didn't doubt it after thinking about it deeply.
She was so excited that she couldn't sleep, and she didn't fall asleep until dawn.Mu Liang is the same, but she has a deep temper, she gets up as usual, and asks people to go to the wine shop to find a few jars of good wine.
There are good and bad wines in the wine shop. Good wines are treasured, and ordinary people can't buy them at high prices. They are the treasures of the town.
Lin Ran just woke up when the wine was found. He was supposed to be a little dazed and couldn't open his eyelids, but when he thought of going to see Father today, he immediately woke up.She got up in a hurry to change clothes, wash and have breakfast.
Before leaving, Mu Liang told her: "You should respond to what your father says, don't be silly, and be careful that he will throw you out of the house again."
"I know, I will answer him for everything, but only one thing, I can't take you back to the palace." Lin Ran said seriously.She also has a petty temper, but she doesn't dare to get angry with Dad.
Mu Liang said: "If he said this, then you shouldn't, just leave the house."
"That's good, I'll go." Lin Ran happily led the people away.
****
Soldiers in twos and threes were seen patrolling the streets of Luoyang, and many shops were closed, afraid to open.The shop of the Lin family is not afraid of these things, they still open the door of the hall, but there are much fewer customers than before.
Lin Ran counted the time when his father would go to court, so he let the horse walk a little slower, and took advantage of the opportunity to look at the scene on the streets of Luoyang.
In front of the shops, there are mostly busy guys cleaning the doors and windows, and occasionally pedestrians come in.Su Zhao and his friends came out of the Fuyun Tower, and happened to meet the leisurely Lin Ran, and the two couldn't help but pinch each other as soon as they met.
Lin Ran is sensible, today she is going to meet her father to talk about getting married, and she can't fight, so she rode away and Su Zhao rode to follow.
Riding a horse on the streets of Luoyang and hurting people is punishable by a board. Seeing her chasing after her, Lin Ran had to slow down, "What are you chasing me for?"
"What are you talking about? It's been a long time since we've seen each other so we need to say hello." Su Zhao's horse stood in front of Lin Ran, and it was Lin Ran's good deed to take the lead in her current completion.
If it wasn't for Lin Ran, there wouldn't be Princess Xinyang for being aggressive enough to make her lose her military post.
Lin Ran is not a fool, and she understands the reason why the visitors are not kind. She glanced at the people around her and said, "There are all people here, and it's not appropriate for you to say hello. Why don't you change to a clean place and choose a school yard? What do you think?" how?"
Su Zhao was defeated by Lin Ran. She knew her family's shortcomings, so she didn't agree. Instead, she said, "I think this place is pretty good. How about you and I race horses?"
"The horse racing is still free. My horse is in a bad mood today, and he can't run when he sees people he hates. It's better to wait another day." Zhao Yin interrupted.
"The coward should stop?" Su Zhao provoked her with a sneer, and the people behind him also laughed in agreement.
Lin Ran touched his new robe, there was a word Ran on the cuff, which was embroidered by A Liang.She couldn't embroider hundreds of flowers, but could only embroider the word Liangran beautifully. Lin Ran smiled, and didn't care about Su Zhao's provocation, and said, "I have a thick skin, so I don't worry about your laughing. I have something to do today, and I will invite you another day." Go to Fuyun Tower to drink flower wine, if you block me, you won’t be able to drink flower wine next time.”
She doesn't fight in Luoyang City, knowing that she is not a celebrity, and it is not good to provoke others.
She wanted to calm things down, but Su Zhao disagreed: "Patriarch Lin is so timid, is it because we scared him?"
A lot of people gathered on the street, and many people were watching the excitement. Both of them were young gentlemen in brocade clothes, and their temperament was not bad, and they spoke with hostility, so scared that they didn't dare to come forward.
Lin Ran had a headache, and if it was delayed, it would be time for Father to go out for a drink. She simply ignored it and rode away. Su Zhao was still chasing her, not forgetting to stimulate her with words.
The people on the street gave way one after another. When they arrived in the south of the city, they met a few adults who were going down to court. Lin Ran knew what was going on, stopped the horse, and said to Su Zhao who was chasing after him: "Riding a horse is not fun, why don't you and I compete. How about it. If you lose, just kneel on the ground and kowtow, how about it?"
"Fighting is not fun, just horse racing." Su Zhao disagreed.
"If you don't fight, go home. Don't delay my marriage. Get out." Lin Ran couldn't take it anymore. This place is an official residence, so you can't get close at will. If you have two legs, you won't be afraid of being broken, so I will race horses with you.
She glanced forward and said, "Hey, why is His Highness Xinyang here?"
Su Zhao was startled suddenly, she held the reins tightly and looked forward, there were several people in armor walking in front of her, but there was no Xinyang, she knew she had been fooled, and looked back at Lin Ran, all of them were gone.
She looked at the group of friends, "It's really stupid, won't you stop her from running?"
The few people succumbed to the power of the Su family, and they didn't dare to speak back, so they asked her to curse a few words.
Lin, who escaped, regretted that he didn't bring more servants out today, otherwise he would not have met such a coward as Su Zhao. She dismounted in front of the gate of the palace, handed the wine to the doorman, and asked, "Is daddy back?"
The doorman took the wine: "I'm back, His Highness Xinyang is also here, and the two of you are talking in the hall."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xin Yang strode out and looked at Lin Ran: "Are you cured?"
"Okay, thank you, Your Highness, for your concern." Lin Ran hated his crow's mouth, and he really saw her when he mentioned it casually.
When she lowered her eyes, she heard Xin Yang say: "Aren't you afraid that the Nine Kings will beat you up when you come to the palace?"
"Father asked me to come here to discuss marriage, and he won't hit people without reason." She still chose to explain to avoid misunderstanding.
When Xinyang heard the word "marriage", he looked her up and down, and said sarcastically: "When you grow a little taller, do you have a wrong mind?"
Lin Ran was not happy, and retorted: "A Liang and I got engaged 15 years ago, how can we be so delusional?"
The author has something to say: Xiaoguai: Don't delay my marriage, even my mother.
I came on time, and the red envelopes in the previous chapters were sent out.
Thank you for your nutrition, thank you! ! !
