The baby delivered to the door became the emperor
Chapter 70 The Dowry
When the little tiger struggled to come out, the two of them had already stuck together. Mu Liang's sleepy eyes were hazy, and the tip of his tongue was suddenly pried open.
The breath was entangled, and her breathing was slightly stagnant. She was drowsy and didn't know where she was deep. She didn't wake up until the tip of Lin Ran's tongue broke in.
He habitually reached out to caress the back of her neck, and the delicate and gentle force made Lin Ran quiet.Lin Ran smiled and didn't want to let go of her. When he wanted to deepen the kiss, the back of his hand hurt. Looking sideways, the little tiger's claws patted the back of her hand.
Why did it come out so quickly? In desperation, she had no choice but to let go of Ah Liang, and grabbed the little tiger's neck instead, saying in displeasure, "Let you be quiet, it's so noisy that Ah Liang woke up, it's really the culprit." The culprit."
Only those who are sober don't believe her words, bullying the little tiger who can't speak, and then pushing the blame on it, it's not good.
She sat up and looked at the dusk outside. She probably only slept for a moment before being woken up by the little thing. She snatched the bullied little tiger from Lin Ran's hand and put it on the ground. , Before he could stand still, the little tiger ran away.
She suddenly laughed, Lin Ran embraced her from behind and rubbed her ear: "The matter of getting back together has nothing to do with me."
Before going to bed, I listened to a few words in a daze. The implementation of the New Deal was imminent, and Qian Qi took the opportunity to recover.I don't know if Qian Qi saw the wrong timing, or if he was caught out because of his complacency, he should have revived after the implementation of the New Deal.
The Emperor Ming's throne is not stable, and when the time comes, he will be besieged on all sides, and His Highness Xinyang will have a chance.
"I've also thought about it. It's not your style, nor Xinyang's method. I'm afraid it's true. You can find a chance to ask His Highness Xinyang how far this matter has reached." Mu Liang warned, if it's true, you must It will be an opportunity to send troops to wipe out, who will be the general at that time.
"Okay." Lin Ran responded softly, and leaned on her back, the soft spot is just the best, she was afraid that A Liang would leave again, so she said: "I'm afraid we will send troops to suppress it, this is not a good thing, Su You won't fight for it, it seems that Dad is the most suitable candidate."
Xinyang leads the army, Emperor Ming is not at ease, the eight kings and nine kings have experienced the battle of the founding of the country, and they know the former Qi well, the eight kings have been suffering from illnesses these years, only the nine princes are in good health.
She carefully placed her hand in front of Mu Liang's lower abdomen, the palm of the sleeping person was hot, even if it was lightly touched, it was like a ball of flames, making people tremble uncontrollably.
Mu Liang held her hand instead, "Then you find a way to prevent father from going, you are so smart, you should have a way."
"When did Ah Liangzui become so sweet? Do you want to fill me with milk soup?" Lin Ran smiled cleverly, and was quite satisfied with Mu Liang's flattery. In short, since ancient times, the best way is to pretend to be sick."
Dad has been drinking too much these years, if he is sick, no one will think it strange, it is very possible that people who soak in wine jars are sick.
Mu Liang frowned: "This method is very vulgar, but it is also very useful. You go and talk to daddy yourself."
"It's okay, if you want to be sick, you should be sick, so as not to be late and make your majesty suspicious." Lin Ran pondered. People are suspicious.
The affairs of the court are important, but the shops of the Lin family should be avoided for the time being. She said again: "I will discuss with His Highness Xinyang to close some shops in the south of the Yangtze River first, and transfer the goods, so as not to be affected in time."
"It's okay, when will you go to Xinyang?" Mu Liang nodded, thinking of her injuries, he changed his words again: "I'll send someone to spread the word to His Highness Xinyang and ask her to come to the house."
"Okay." Lin Ran was not stubborn either. With her current appearance, she might not even be able to get out of the house, let alone ride a horse over the wall.
*****
The structure of the Princess's Mansion is similar to that of Luoyang Mansion. Except for the remodeling of a few courtyards that were burned, everything else remains basically the same.
Lin Ran was born here and had no feelings for her. On the contrary, Lin Si saw her elder sister's death here, her whole family was massacred, and she couldn't calm down. She locked herself in the house every day and never went out.
In the evening, Lin Ran brought his maid to meet him, pushed open the door and put the man who had experienced many vicissitudes under the candlelight, let the maid back out, closed the door by himself, called uncle and walked over.
Lin Si was looking at the map under the candlelight, with a plate of peach blossom cakes beside him, when he saw Lin Ran coming over, he politely invited her to have tea and snacks.
Lin Ran sat down casually, looked at the topography of several counties in the south of the Yangtze River, and said, "Uncle also heard about Qianqi?"
"His Highness Xinyang sent a letter, so I just looked at the terrain at will. This battle is inevitable, so it depends on who will be the general." Lin Si sighed, the old generals in the court were implicated by the prince, and after a while, there was not much left. up.
Only the Ninth Prince knew about Qianqi, this battle might not end well, it would be fine if he won, if he lost, it would not be a good thing for Emperor Ming to take the opportunity to cut his title.
He was thinking about Qian Qi, but Lin Ran was staring at his snacks.The peach blossom cakes she eats most these days are very familiar with Ah Liang's way of kneading crisps, and the dish in front of her seems to be made by Ah Liang.
This evening, Ah Liang made a steamed mandarin fish. She has been busy in the kitchen for a long time, and she must have made dim sum. She looked at Lin Si: "Uncle, can I have dim sum?"
She was polite, and Lin Si smiled: "You can eat it if you want."
He didn't know that Mu Liang forbade her to eat dessert, so he enthusiastically brought the dessert before her eyes: "I haven't eaten it yet, you should try it first, you young people should like these."
Lin Ran loves desserts, but he loves Ah Liang's Peach Blossom Cake even more.
As soon as Lin Si was enthusiastic, she was impolite. She carefully picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. It was a little sweeter than usual, and the taste was just right. The milk flavor was sweet but not greasy. A Liang's peach blossom cakes became better and better. up.
She ate snacks, and Lin Si pointed to several counties in the south of the Yangtze River and said: "The Lin family's property will be withdrawn first, and it will affect a lot under the flames of war, and it is easy to be robbed by the former Qi. At that time, all the capital and profits will be lost. As far as you are concerned, it is really a big deal." It’s a big loss.”
Lin Ran nodded: "Uncle is right, I have exactly the same intention."
She agreed, but Lin Si's eyes still did not leave the map. After thinking for a while, he still didn't understand how to start the war. He tentatively said: "My master, don't ask His Highness Xinyang's intentions. She understands the situation of the battle very well. If the Ninth Prince If she is not a general, she must be leading the army."
Lin Ran nodded again: "I also have the same intention. Tomorrow, I will send someone to invite her to the mansion as a guest. Then you can talk to her about it again, and I will just listen in."
"You have a lot of ideas, so you can take it yourself. If you can't make up your mind, you can ask the princess. She has been managing the Lin family's property for many years. She should know more about the countermeasures than you. She has a delicate mind, so you can ask more questions Ask, don't treat others badly." Lin Si advised a few words, the two of them can no longer be described as a young couple, a son or a wife, such a fate, time is unique, and should be cherished.
I don't know if Lin Ran listened to it, he sighed, turned around and saw that the plate on the table was empty, and the plate of peach blossom cake was gone?
With just the last piece left in Lin Ran's hand, his eyes fell on the map very solemnly, and he said, "How could I not listen to Ah Liang's words. Don't worry, Uncle, I will take her well."
Having said that, Lin Si felt relieved, watched her bite off the last piece of dessert, and said helplessly, "Did the princess cut off your dessert?"
"That's not true. Uncle should rest earlier, and we'll talk about it when His Royal Highness comes down." Lin Ran stood up contentedly, Ah Liang's peach blossom cakes were really sweet.
Lin Si looked at her cheerful back, and remembered that she hadn't asked about it yet.I don't know how her injury is, the palace spine is not easy to bear, let alone Lin Ran's thin body.
But seeing the way she walked, the injuries on her body must have almost healed. Su Xuan and others are really disgusting.
****
After Lin Ran returned to the house, he drank a large cup of tea and looked left and right. A Liang hadn't come back yet, so he must be dealing with business in the study.
It was not easy for her to be disturbed, so she ordered the maidservant to fetch water and take a bath.
On weekdays, she didn't like the handmaiden's close service, and today her body hurts no exception. After driving the maidservant out, she took off her clothes and immersed herself in the water.
The color of the water is clear, and the bruises on her legs can be clearly seen. It must have fallen out of holding Ah Liang yesterday. She rubbed it herself, and the bathroom door rang.
Perhaps it was the maidservant who came to deliver the clothes, she casually shouted: "Put the clothes outside." She lowered her head to rub the wound on her body, after the sound of water stopped, the footsteps approached, she turned her head displeased: "Let you go out!" Just go out."
Mu Liang was frightened by her cold tone, almost lost the spice box in his hand, and said angrily, "Why are you so angry?"
"I'm only a maidservant, why did you come back suddenly, everything has been dealt with?" Lin Ran smiled flatteringly, and hid herself in the water, those bruises also disappeared from Mu Liang's eyes.
She walked a few steps closer and looked at the hidden color in the water instead, Lin Ran moved: "Don't steal me."
Mu Liang was looking at her injury, and felt embarrassed when she said that, his ears were red, and said: "I don't want to look at you, let the maidservant come to serve you?"
"Then, then there's no need." Lin Ran stammered, his skin exposed to the water was pink and charming.
Mu Liang said, "Why didn't you wait for me to come back? The doctor asked you to take a medicinal bath. As soon as the medicinal materials were prepared, you couldn't wait to take a bath first."
Lin Ran embraced herself with both arms, covering the skin on her chest: "Then it will be the same if I wash it tomorrow."
"It's up to you, wait for you outside, remember to take a medicinal bath tomorrow." Mu Liang couldn't stay any longer, put the spices aside, turned and went out.
Lin Ran glanced at the spice box, not knowing what it was, wiped it casually, and then got dressed and went out.
Medicinal bath is to remove bruises on the body, which is more effective than wound medicine. Mu Liang reminded the maidservant to remember the matter of medicinal bath. Lin Ran didn't care about small things, and others needed to remember.
She was recovering from illness, many people knew that she was back, so they sent supplements to the house, and the Wei family brought the adoptive daughter Mu Shan over the next day.
Mu Liang went to meet him at the gate of the mansion in person. As soon as the Wei family entered the house, they could see the grandeur of the mansion. The rockery, flowing water, and curved bridges and corridors all revealed the wealth of the Lin family.
She exclaimed: "How much money does this cost, it is much more magnificent than Prince Mu's Mansion."
"Lin Ran is the main repairer. I don't know about it. Mother went to sit in the living room. Lin Ran is still awake. You stay for lunch." Mu Liang avoided the matter of money, and raised his jaw to signal the maidservant to serve tea.
After entering the hall, Mrs. Wei couldn't stop looking at the decorations in the hall. The paintings of famous masters were magnificently used as a screen, and the porcelain beside it was all expensive, and said: "Lin Ran was beaten, but he still has the mind to play with these."
If Mu Liang is not good at her, ask Mu Shan to sit down together, and take advantage of the situation: "How is Ah Shan these days?"
Mu Shan responded with a smile: "These days are fine, my father treats me very well."
"My lord doesn't know what's wrong. She insists on not allowing her to enter the genealogy. It's embarrassing for Ah Shan to be up and down now." Wei took the opportunity to complain, and after taking the tea from the maid's hand, she happened to see the red gold bracelet on the maid's wrist. Said sarcastically: "The Lin family is really rich, and the servants all wear red gold bracelets, which makes even a princess like me envious."
The maid was so frightened that she pulled down her cuffs and looked at Madam uneasily.
Mu Liang nodded to signal her to go down, and refused to answer the words just now, instead, "Mother has nothing to do, why don't you find some female masters to teach Ah Shan etiquette and literacy, she becomes sensible, and father will naturally agree to your request."
Wei Shi was not happy, "What's the use of learning those things, it's better to find a good family to marry, and you don't know how to work as a female worker. Marrying Lin Ran will not make you rich."
Mu Liang really didn't want to talk to her anymore, so he ordered to the outside world: "Send someone to ask the prince if he wants to come for lunch. If he comes, let someone prepare some wine. If he doesn't come, it's fine."
When she interrupted like this, the Wei family could not talk, drinking tea and eating fruit, Mu Shan was also silent. After sitting for a while, Xinyang Dexin came over, and the maid quietly led her to the backyard to meet Lin Ran.
Xin Yang looked at the people in the flower hall, they seemed to be the Ninth Concubine, she casually said: "Wang Concubine is here today?"
"Return to Your Highness, you have not been here for a long time, Madam asked me to lead you to see the Patriarch." The maid explained.
Xinyang found it strange that Lin Ran didn't entertain Wei Shi when he came over. She asked tentatively, "Why did the concubine come here?"
"I don't know." The maid shook her head.
Xinyang doesn't ask any more, Wei Shi has recuperated in the family temple for many years, and after coming back, I don't see how close Mu Liang is, the mother and daughter are afraid of how dirty they are, besides, Mu Liang was raised by the old lady, and the relationship with Wei Shi Afraid of being unkind.
Looking back at the past, the expenses of the Ninth Prince's Mansion were all paid by the Lin family. Since the princess came back, Mu Liang did not return to the Palace, and the number of times the Ninth Prince went to the wine shop to drink was much less, probably because the salary was not enough.
Mu Liang cut off the expenses of Nine Princes Mansion?
She couldn't help but smile, Mu Liang's temperament is considered cold, but what kind of rift is there between her and the Wei family?
The maid led her to a courtyard, knocked on the door, and retreated.
It was Lin Ran who came out to open the door. When she saw Xin Yang, she saluted respectfully and invited her into the hospital.
After Xinyang crossed the threshold, she kept looking at her with kindness and worry in her eyes, which made Lin Ran feel uncomfortable, her face flushed, and she unconsciously said, "What is Your Highness looking at me for? Is there something wrong with me?"
"Jing Zhaoyin secretly reported to me that you were assassinated, and only thought that your injuries were not serious. Now it seems that everything is fine, and you are still alive and kicking." Xinyang was in a good mood, so he couldn't help teasing her a few more words.
Lin Ran didn't care, and said, "That's because I'm good at it."
"Blessed and fateful, Lord Yama will not accept you, and you have been chased and killed twice in half a year. It seems that you have made many enemies." Xin Yang raised his foot and walked forward, Lin Ran hurriedly followed, and replied: "Only you and Xie Xing Knowing where I live, don't you think you're causing me trouble?"
Xinyang paused: "You offended Su Xuan yourself, and you're looking for me again?"
"Su Xuan did it?" Lin Ran asked her back.
"I don't know, I'm just guessing. Su Xuanfang can't find out your details when he came to Beijing. Especially being able to enter the other courtyard is not something he, a stupid pig, can do. Especially since his own life is in danger, there is no time to target you."
The two stepped into the room together, Lin Si saw them, and leaned slightly: "His Royal Highness Xinyang."
He is usually polite, so Lin Ran is not surprised, he walked up to Yutu and said something serious: "Your Highness, is there someone in the court going to fight?"
"Going to war is inevitable, but it's still early, and the New Deal was accidentally delayed. Your Majesty dare not wantonly weaken the army. The whole court is silent. Even the Soviet Party is helpless, but I have already asked people to prepare. "Xinyang said.
Lin Si smiled sarcastically: "It's really retribution."
Lin Ran's eyebrows twitched, and he glanced at Xinyang, and found that she looked calm, so he couldn't say anything, retreated to the couch beside him, and continued to drink tea and eat snacks.
Today's dim sum was not tasty, it wasn't made by Ah Liang, she was inexplicably disgusted, she silently put it down after taking a bite, and drank tea.
Lin Si's words were all disrespectful to Emperor Ming, and Xin Yang pretended that he hadn't heard it. After they said a few words, they realized that there was one person missing, and they both turned their heads to look at Lin Ran.
Lin Ran bent his lips and smiled: "I'll drink tea, you go on, I'll just listen."
Xinyang went over and grabbed her, pointing at Yutu: "You have nothing to say?"
"No, I don't know anything about military affairs. I just want to ask you which counties and counties the war has affected. I have withdrawn the Lin family's shop from the former ministers. It's none of my business. The Lin family has already donated food this year, and there is absolutely no reason to donate again. " Lin Ran said innocently.
The restoration of the former Qi Dynasty has nothing to do with her, what should she participate in.
Her words were not unreasonable, Xinyang was very annoyed, and asked her: "Your Majesty mentioned who was the general yesterday, and Su Changlan recommended Mu Neng."
Lin Ran blinked: "Father is going to fight, and I don't have any money."
Lin Si laughed, and did not participate in the conversation between the mother and daughter. The two had different positions. Xin Yang meant to be in the court, while Lin Ran only thought about the Lin family, regardless of the life or death of others.He leaned against the back of the chair, glanced at the dim sum on the table from the corner of his eye, today was different from last night, only one piece moved today, and that piece of dim sum only took one bite.
Are you not hungry or disgusted?
He came here last night, he must have eaten dinner, and he was not hungry. He was curious about Lin Ran's actions, and the servant girl came to pass the message that the princess would stay in the mansion for dinner.
Lin Ran looked at Xinyang: "Does Your Highness want to stay for dinner?"
"No need, you go to accompany your mother-in-law." Xinyang said unhappily.
She had a strange mood, and Lin Ran didn't like to talk much, so she said, "Because I'm a merchant, the princess doesn't want to see me very much. She probably doesn't want to see me. If Your Highness doesn't stay, I will have lunch with Uncle today. It's the same."
Wei's status has risen following Mu Neng's, and she is not that honorable. She maintains her own status and disregards merchants, which makes people helpless.
Lin Si is the clearest about these little things, thinking that the Wei family has not changed after so many years, he just sighed casually: "I shouldn't have brought her back."
Xinyang didn't know what happened back then, but Lin Si knew it all. At the beginning, the little Patriarch was in the palace, so it was not easy to cause her troubles, so Wei's request was almost always granted. If she didn't want to do it like this, she still didn't like it. Almost sold the little owner.
Wei Shi is a white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with feeding, and he can't get enough to feed. Fortunately, the princess saw clearly and was on guard against Wei Shi in time. Now that she comes back, the princess will keep her at a respectful distance.
Xin Yang stayed at the Lin Si for lunch, and the people in the front yard did not leave, but Mu Neng did not come, and drank with his colleagues in the wine shop, which belonged to the Lin family, he was used to going there, and when he went recently, he kept accounts and had no money to pay. .
The salary is not enough, and it is almost the same as the Eight Princes' Mansion.
The Wei family came to the Prince's Mansion to see Lin Ran, but they were empty-handed, and it was obvious from the first glance that Mu Liang did not let Lin Ran come out.
She can directly reject some things, but Lin Ran is different. When outsiders learn about it, they will only think that she is disrespectful to her mother-in-law, and gossip is even worse.
Wei's thoughts are nothing more than two things, one is Mu Shan's marriage, and the other is money.When she was sent to the family temple, all the treasures given by the Lin family were kept in the warehouse. When Mu Liang got married, they were all treated as dowry, and nothing was left to her.
The dowry followed Mu Liang to the Lin family, so how could she return it to her? Therefore, she felt dissatisfied and wanted to get it back many times. Mu Liang just pretended not to know and followed her.
Xinyang came and left after lunch, and it was clear from the banquet that she also liked roasted leg of lamb.She asked someone to send some to them quietly. There are many sheep in the village. They are well fed and taste good. It is also good to borrow flowers to present Buddha.
After Wei Shi left, she went to the front yard. Mu Liang ordered the servant girl to do things in the hall. Seeing her enter, he sent the servant girl to leave, and said to her: "His Highness Xinyang is gone?"
"Well, let's go, how is the princess?" Lin Ran walked over and sat down beside her, looking at her calm expression.
"She wants to get those things back." Mu Liang didn't hide it from her. This matter will reach her ears sooner or later, so it's better to tell her now, so as not to be caught off guard.
She spoke ambiguously, Lin Ran didn't understand: "What did you take from her?"
"When Lin Si sent you into the mansion back then, she gave her many rare treasures, and in the next five or six years, I gave many more. The dowry given by my grandmother was all hers. At that time, I thought that they were all treasures of the Lin family, so why not follow me When I came here, I never thought that the concubine would take the initiative to ask for it back, saying that this is something in her name, even if it is my dowry, I should tell her. Since she didn't tell me, she will not agree to give it to me."
Mu Liang explained softly that it was indeed a bit sloppy at the time, and the trouble is now a dilemma.In fact, these are nothing, and if they are only returned to the princess, where will the face of the Mu Palace go?
Lin Ran was stunned for a moment, puzzled and said, "Does she mean to return?"
Mu Liang sighed, rubbed his brows and eyes, and felt a headache when he thought of Wang Hao's attitude.Lin Ran at the side saw that she was upset, so he tentatively asked: "Why don't you convert those things and return the money to her?"
"You are generous. I just don't want to honor her heart."
"I'm not being generous, but I just don't want you to be in trouble. It's not worth much money, and it's not worth it to cause you headaches." Lin Ran smiled, stretched out his hand to rub her eyebrows, and said: " Ah Liang, I'll take care of this matter, so don't worry about it, okay?"
"Let you deal with it? The way you deal with it is to give her the money. Have you ever thought that this will only breed tigers?" Mu Liang poked her on the head. Money settled.
What a little loser.
Lin Ran felt aggrieved and said: "That's your mother, I can't do everything right, besides, I have a way to do it, so I can make a big mess and let others see me as a joke."
Mu Liang was curious about her method: "What can you do?"
"Father asked the princess to come back, so I just let daddy take care of it. As for the dowry, those things are not just for the princess. Could it be that her name is written? Dad can send her back to the temple. There will be a second time. Dad can find a way, let him clean up his mess." Lin Ran is arrogant, she can't see Mu Liang is bothered, the things in the shop are already annoying her, why is the princess I can't understand one or two.
Mu Liang hesitated: "I'm afraid it's not good to let Dad come over."
"What's wrong, this matter is a matter of the palace behind closed doors, and has nothing to do with the Lin family. May I ask where the dowry will be returned." Lin Ran thought it was reasonable. looking for trouble.
She said again: "You are not from the Mu family anymore, you are the wife of my Lin family. If she comes again, I will take her to Jing Zhaoyin to have a discussion and see if she dares to go."
This is the most absolute way she said, Mu Liang said helplessly, "I'll ask my father, don't talk nonsense anymore."
"Then don't worry, okay?" Lin Ran coaxed her.
Mu Liang is helpless, the princess is used to being self-reliant, she may only have money in her eyes, if she really wants to reason, I am afraid that both of them are unreasonable.
She remained silent, but Lin Ran suddenly remembered something and asked, "Who does the princess want to marry Mu Shan to?"
The author has something to say: If you don't catch bugs, catch them later.
Xiaoguai: Nothing to say.
感谢在2020-03-2121:51:45~2020-03-2211:44:26期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦~
Thanks to the little angel who threw the landmine: 1 尛丽留℉;
Thanks to the little angels who irrigate the nutrient solution: Yantupao 10 bottles; Ana 2 bottles; Yu 3560, Beixian 1 bottle;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
The breath was entangled, and her breathing was slightly stagnant. She was drowsy and didn't know where she was deep. She didn't wake up until the tip of Lin Ran's tongue broke in.
He habitually reached out to caress the back of her neck, and the delicate and gentle force made Lin Ran quiet.Lin Ran smiled and didn't want to let go of her. When he wanted to deepen the kiss, the back of his hand hurt. Looking sideways, the little tiger's claws patted the back of her hand.
Why did it come out so quickly? In desperation, she had no choice but to let go of Ah Liang, and grabbed the little tiger's neck instead, saying in displeasure, "Let you be quiet, it's so noisy that Ah Liang woke up, it's really the culprit." The culprit."
Only those who are sober don't believe her words, bullying the little tiger who can't speak, and then pushing the blame on it, it's not good.
She sat up and looked at the dusk outside. She probably only slept for a moment before being woken up by the little thing. She snatched the bullied little tiger from Lin Ran's hand and put it on the ground. , Before he could stand still, the little tiger ran away.
She suddenly laughed, Lin Ran embraced her from behind and rubbed her ear: "The matter of getting back together has nothing to do with me."
Before going to bed, I listened to a few words in a daze. The implementation of the New Deal was imminent, and Qian Qi took the opportunity to recover.I don't know if Qian Qi saw the wrong timing, or if he was caught out because of his complacency, he should have revived after the implementation of the New Deal.
The Emperor Ming's throne is not stable, and when the time comes, he will be besieged on all sides, and His Highness Xinyang will have a chance.
"I've also thought about it. It's not your style, nor Xinyang's method. I'm afraid it's true. You can find a chance to ask His Highness Xinyang how far this matter has reached." Mu Liang warned, if it's true, you must It will be an opportunity to send troops to wipe out, who will be the general at that time.
"Okay." Lin Ran responded softly, and leaned on her back, the soft spot is just the best, she was afraid that A Liang would leave again, so she said: "I'm afraid we will send troops to suppress it, this is not a good thing, Su You won't fight for it, it seems that Dad is the most suitable candidate."
Xinyang leads the army, Emperor Ming is not at ease, the eight kings and nine kings have experienced the battle of the founding of the country, and they know the former Qi well, the eight kings have been suffering from illnesses these years, only the nine princes are in good health.
She carefully placed her hand in front of Mu Liang's lower abdomen, the palm of the sleeping person was hot, even if it was lightly touched, it was like a ball of flames, making people tremble uncontrollably.
Mu Liang held her hand instead, "Then you find a way to prevent father from going, you are so smart, you should have a way."
"When did Ah Liangzui become so sweet? Do you want to fill me with milk soup?" Lin Ran smiled cleverly, and was quite satisfied with Mu Liang's flattery. In short, since ancient times, the best way is to pretend to be sick."
Dad has been drinking too much these years, if he is sick, no one will think it strange, it is very possible that people who soak in wine jars are sick.
Mu Liang frowned: "This method is very vulgar, but it is also very useful. You go and talk to daddy yourself."
"It's okay, if you want to be sick, you should be sick, so as not to be late and make your majesty suspicious." Lin Ran pondered. People are suspicious.
The affairs of the court are important, but the shops of the Lin family should be avoided for the time being. She said again: "I will discuss with His Highness Xinyang to close some shops in the south of the Yangtze River first, and transfer the goods, so as not to be affected in time."
"It's okay, when will you go to Xinyang?" Mu Liang nodded, thinking of her injuries, he changed his words again: "I'll send someone to spread the word to His Highness Xinyang and ask her to come to the house."
"Okay." Lin Ran was not stubborn either. With her current appearance, she might not even be able to get out of the house, let alone ride a horse over the wall.
*****
The structure of the Princess's Mansion is similar to that of Luoyang Mansion. Except for the remodeling of a few courtyards that were burned, everything else remains basically the same.
Lin Ran was born here and had no feelings for her. On the contrary, Lin Si saw her elder sister's death here, her whole family was massacred, and she couldn't calm down. She locked herself in the house every day and never went out.
In the evening, Lin Ran brought his maid to meet him, pushed open the door and put the man who had experienced many vicissitudes under the candlelight, let the maid back out, closed the door by himself, called uncle and walked over.
Lin Si was looking at the map under the candlelight, with a plate of peach blossom cakes beside him, when he saw Lin Ran coming over, he politely invited her to have tea and snacks.
Lin Ran sat down casually, looked at the topography of several counties in the south of the Yangtze River, and said, "Uncle also heard about Qianqi?"
"His Highness Xinyang sent a letter, so I just looked at the terrain at will. This battle is inevitable, so it depends on who will be the general." Lin Si sighed, the old generals in the court were implicated by the prince, and after a while, there was not much left. up.
Only the Ninth Prince knew about Qianqi, this battle might not end well, it would be fine if he won, if he lost, it would not be a good thing for Emperor Ming to take the opportunity to cut his title.
He was thinking about Qian Qi, but Lin Ran was staring at his snacks.The peach blossom cakes she eats most these days are very familiar with Ah Liang's way of kneading crisps, and the dish in front of her seems to be made by Ah Liang.
This evening, Ah Liang made a steamed mandarin fish. She has been busy in the kitchen for a long time, and she must have made dim sum. She looked at Lin Si: "Uncle, can I have dim sum?"
She was polite, and Lin Si smiled: "You can eat it if you want."
He didn't know that Mu Liang forbade her to eat dessert, so he enthusiastically brought the dessert before her eyes: "I haven't eaten it yet, you should try it first, you young people should like these."
Lin Ran loves desserts, but he loves Ah Liang's Peach Blossom Cake even more.
As soon as Lin Si was enthusiastic, she was impolite. She carefully picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. It was a little sweeter than usual, and the taste was just right. The milk flavor was sweet but not greasy. A Liang's peach blossom cakes became better and better. up.
She ate snacks, and Lin Si pointed to several counties in the south of the Yangtze River and said: "The Lin family's property will be withdrawn first, and it will affect a lot under the flames of war, and it is easy to be robbed by the former Qi. At that time, all the capital and profits will be lost. As far as you are concerned, it is really a big deal." It’s a big loss.”
Lin Ran nodded: "Uncle is right, I have exactly the same intention."
She agreed, but Lin Si's eyes still did not leave the map. After thinking for a while, he still didn't understand how to start the war. He tentatively said: "My master, don't ask His Highness Xinyang's intentions. She understands the situation of the battle very well. If the Ninth Prince If she is not a general, she must be leading the army."
Lin Ran nodded again: "I also have the same intention. Tomorrow, I will send someone to invite her to the mansion as a guest. Then you can talk to her about it again, and I will just listen in."
"You have a lot of ideas, so you can take it yourself. If you can't make up your mind, you can ask the princess. She has been managing the Lin family's property for many years. She should know more about the countermeasures than you. She has a delicate mind, so you can ask more questions Ask, don't treat others badly." Lin Si advised a few words, the two of them can no longer be described as a young couple, a son or a wife, such a fate, time is unique, and should be cherished.
I don't know if Lin Ran listened to it, he sighed, turned around and saw that the plate on the table was empty, and the plate of peach blossom cake was gone?
With just the last piece left in Lin Ran's hand, his eyes fell on the map very solemnly, and he said, "How could I not listen to Ah Liang's words. Don't worry, Uncle, I will take her well."
Having said that, Lin Si felt relieved, watched her bite off the last piece of dessert, and said helplessly, "Did the princess cut off your dessert?"
"That's not true. Uncle should rest earlier, and we'll talk about it when His Royal Highness comes down." Lin Ran stood up contentedly, Ah Liang's peach blossom cakes were really sweet.
Lin Si looked at her cheerful back, and remembered that she hadn't asked about it yet.I don't know how her injury is, the palace spine is not easy to bear, let alone Lin Ran's thin body.
But seeing the way she walked, the injuries on her body must have almost healed. Su Xuan and others are really disgusting.
****
After Lin Ran returned to the house, he drank a large cup of tea and looked left and right. A Liang hadn't come back yet, so he must be dealing with business in the study.
It was not easy for her to be disturbed, so she ordered the maidservant to fetch water and take a bath.
On weekdays, she didn't like the handmaiden's close service, and today her body hurts no exception. After driving the maidservant out, she took off her clothes and immersed herself in the water.
The color of the water is clear, and the bruises on her legs can be clearly seen. It must have fallen out of holding Ah Liang yesterday. She rubbed it herself, and the bathroom door rang.
Perhaps it was the maidservant who came to deliver the clothes, she casually shouted: "Put the clothes outside." She lowered her head to rub the wound on her body, after the sound of water stopped, the footsteps approached, she turned her head displeased: "Let you go out!" Just go out."
Mu Liang was frightened by her cold tone, almost lost the spice box in his hand, and said angrily, "Why are you so angry?"
"I'm only a maidservant, why did you come back suddenly, everything has been dealt with?" Lin Ran smiled flatteringly, and hid herself in the water, those bruises also disappeared from Mu Liang's eyes.
She walked a few steps closer and looked at the hidden color in the water instead, Lin Ran moved: "Don't steal me."
Mu Liang was looking at her injury, and felt embarrassed when she said that, his ears were red, and said: "I don't want to look at you, let the maidservant come to serve you?"
"Then, then there's no need." Lin Ran stammered, his skin exposed to the water was pink and charming.
Mu Liang said, "Why didn't you wait for me to come back? The doctor asked you to take a medicinal bath. As soon as the medicinal materials were prepared, you couldn't wait to take a bath first."
Lin Ran embraced herself with both arms, covering the skin on her chest: "Then it will be the same if I wash it tomorrow."
"It's up to you, wait for you outside, remember to take a medicinal bath tomorrow." Mu Liang couldn't stay any longer, put the spices aside, turned and went out.
Lin Ran glanced at the spice box, not knowing what it was, wiped it casually, and then got dressed and went out.
Medicinal bath is to remove bruises on the body, which is more effective than wound medicine. Mu Liang reminded the maidservant to remember the matter of medicinal bath. Lin Ran didn't care about small things, and others needed to remember.
She was recovering from illness, many people knew that she was back, so they sent supplements to the house, and the Wei family brought the adoptive daughter Mu Shan over the next day.
Mu Liang went to meet him at the gate of the mansion in person. As soon as the Wei family entered the house, they could see the grandeur of the mansion. The rockery, flowing water, and curved bridges and corridors all revealed the wealth of the Lin family.
She exclaimed: "How much money does this cost, it is much more magnificent than Prince Mu's Mansion."
"Lin Ran is the main repairer. I don't know about it. Mother went to sit in the living room. Lin Ran is still awake. You stay for lunch." Mu Liang avoided the matter of money, and raised his jaw to signal the maidservant to serve tea.
After entering the hall, Mrs. Wei couldn't stop looking at the decorations in the hall. The paintings of famous masters were magnificently used as a screen, and the porcelain beside it was all expensive, and said: "Lin Ran was beaten, but he still has the mind to play with these."
If Mu Liang is not good at her, ask Mu Shan to sit down together, and take advantage of the situation: "How is Ah Shan these days?"
Mu Shan responded with a smile: "These days are fine, my father treats me very well."
"My lord doesn't know what's wrong. She insists on not allowing her to enter the genealogy. It's embarrassing for Ah Shan to be up and down now." Wei took the opportunity to complain, and after taking the tea from the maid's hand, she happened to see the red gold bracelet on the maid's wrist. Said sarcastically: "The Lin family is really rich, and the servants all wear red gold bracelets, which makes even a princess like me envious."
The maid was so frightened that she pulled down her cuffs and looked at Madam uneasily.
Mu Liang nodded to signal her to go down, and refused to answer the words just now, instead, "Mother has nothing to do, why don't you find some female masters to teach Ah Shan etiquette and literacy, she becomes sensible, and father will naturally agree to your request."
Wei Shi was not happy, "What's the use of learning those things, it's better to find a good family to marry, and you don't know how to work as a female worker. Marrying Lin Ran will not make you rich."
Mu Liang really didn't want to talk to her anymore, so he ordered to the outside world: "Send someone to ask the prince if he wants to come for lunch. If he comes, let someone prepare some wine. If he doesn't come, it's fine."
When she interrupted like this, the Wei family could not talk, drinking tea and eating fruit, Mu Shan was also silent. After sitting for a while, Xinyang Dexin came over, and the maid quietly led her to the backyard to meet Lin Ran.
Xin Yang looked at the people in the flower hall, they seemed to be the Ninth Concubine, she casually said: "Wang Concubine is here today?"
"Return to Your Highness, you have not been here for a long time, Madam asked me to lead you to see the Patriarch." The maid explained.
Xinyang found it strange that Lin Ran didn't entertain Wei Shi when he came over. She asked tentatively, "Why did the concubine come here?"
"I don't know." The maid shook her head.
Xinyang doesn't ask any more, Wei Shi has recuperated in the family temple for many years, and after coming back, I don't see how close Mu Liang is, the mother and daughter are afraid of how dirty they are, besides, Mu Liang was raised by the old lady, and the relationship with Wei Shi Afraid of being unkind.
Looking back at the past, the expenses of the Ninth Prince's Mansion were all paid by the Lin family. Since the princess came back, Mu Liang did not return to the Palace, and the number of times the Ninth Prince went to the wine shop to drink was much less, probably because the salary was not enough.
Mu Liang cut off the expenses of Nine Princes Mansion?
She couldn't help but smile, Mu Liang's temperament is considered cold, but what kind of rift is there between her and the Wei family?
The maid led her to a courtyard, knocked on the door, and retreated.
It was Lin Ran who came out to open the door. When she saw Xin Yang, she saluted respectfully and invited her into the hospital.
After Xinyang crossed the threshold, she kept looking at her with kindness and worry in her eyes, which made Lin Ran feel uncomfortable, her face flushed, and she unconsciously said, "What is Your Highness looking at me for? Is there something wrong with me?"
"Jing Zhaoyin secretly reported to me that you were assassinated, and only thought that your injuries were not serious. Now it seems that everything is fine, and you are still alive and kicking." Xinyang was in a good mood, so he couldn't help teasing her a few more words.
Lin Ran didn't care, and said, "That's because I'm good at it."
"Blessed and fateful, Lord Yama will not accept you, and you have been chased and killed twice in half a year. It seems that you have made many enemies." Xin Yang raised his foot and walked forward, Lin Ran hurriedly followed, and replied: "Only you and Xie Xing Knowing where I live, don't you think you're causing me trouble?"
Xinyang paused: "You offended Su Xuan yourself, and you're looking for me again?"
"Su Xuan did it?" Lin Ran asked her back.
"I don't know, I'm just guessing. Su Xuanfang can't find out your details when he came to Beijing. Especially being able to enter the other courtyard is not something he, a stupid pig, can do. Especially since his own life is in danger, there is no time to target you."
The two stepped into the room together, Lin Si saw them, and leaned slightly: "His Royal Highness Xinyang."
He is usually polite, so Lin Ran is not surprised, he walked up to Yutu and said something serious: "Your Highness, is there someone in the court going to fight?"
"Going to war is inevitable, but it's still early, and the New Deal was accidentally delayed. Your Majesty dare not wantonly weaken the army. The whole court is silent. Even the Soviet Party is helpless, but I have already asked people to prepare. "Xinyang said.
Lin Si smiled sarcastically: "It's really retribution."
Lin Ran's eyebrows twitched, and he glanced at Xinyang, and found that she looked calm, so he couldn't say anything, retreated to the couch beside him, and continued to drink tea and eat snacks.
Today's dim sum was not tasty, it wasn't made by Ah Liang, she was inexplicably disgusted, she silently put it down after taking a bite, and drank tea.
Lin Si's words were all disrespectful to Emperor Ming, and Xin Yang pretended that he hadn't heard it. After they said a few words, they realized that there was one person missing, and they both turned their heads to look at Lin Ran.
Lin Ran bent his lips and smiled: "I'll drink tea, you go on, I'll just listen."
Xinyang went over and grabbed her, pointing at Yutu: "You have nothing to say?"
"No, I don't know anything about military affairs. I just want to ask you which counties and counties the war has affected. I have withdrawn the Lin family's shop from the former ministers. It's none of my business. The Lin family has already donated food this year, and there is absolutely no reason to donate again. " Lin Ran said innocently.
The restoration of the former Qi Dynasty has nothing to do with her, what should she participate in.
Her words were not unreasonable, Xinyang was very annoyed, and asked her: "Your Majesty mentioned who was the general yesterday, and Su Changlan recommended Mu Neng."
Lin Ran blinked: "Father is going to fight, and I don't have any money."
Lin Si laughed, and did not participate in the conversation between the mother and daughter. The two had different positions. Xin Yang meant to be in the court, while Lin Ran only thought about the Lin family, regardless of the life or death of others.He leaned against the back of the chair, glanced at the dim sum on the table from the corner of his eye, today was different from last night, only one piece moved today, and that piece of dim sum only took one bite.
Are you not hungry or disgusted?
He came here last night, he must have eaten dinner, and he was not hungry. He was curious about Lin Ran's actions, and the servant girl came to pass the message that the princess would stay in the mansion for dinner.
Lin Ran looked at Xinyang: "Does Your Highness want to stay for dinner?"
"No need, you go to accompany your mother-in-law." Xinyang said unhappily.
She had a strange mood, and Lin Ran didn't like to talk much, so she said, "Because I'm a merchant, the princess doesn't want to see me very much. She probably doesn't want to see me. If Your Highness doesn't stay, I will have lunch with Uncle today. It's the same."
Wei's status has risen following Mu Neng's, and she is not that honorable. She maintains her own status and disregards merchants, which makes people helpless.
Lin Si is the clearest about these little things, thinking that the Wei family has not changed after so many years, he just sighed casually: "I shouldn't have brought her back."
Xinyang didn't know what happened back then, but Lin Si knew it all. At the beginning, the little Patriarch was in the palace, so it was not easy to cause her troubles, so Wei's request was almost always granted. If she didn't want to do it like this, she still didn't like it. Almost sold the little owner.
Wei Shi is a white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with feeding, and he can't get enough to feed. Fortunately, the princess saw clearly and was on guard against Wei Shi in time. Now that she comes back, the princess will keep her at a respectful distance.
Xin Yang stayed at the Lin Si for lunch, and the people in the front yard did not leave, but Mu Neng did not come, and drank with his colleagues in the wine shop, which belonged to the Lin family, he was used to going there, and when he went recently, he kept accounts and had no money to pay. .
The salary is not enough, and it is almost the same as the Eight Princes' Mansion.
The Wei family came to the Prince's Mansion to see Lin Ran, but they were empty-handed, and it was obvious from the first glance that Mu Liang did not let Lin Ran come out.
She can directly reject some things, but Lin Ran is different. When outsiders learn about it, they will only think that she is disrespectful to her mother-in-law, and gossip is even worse.
Wei's thoughts are nothing more than two things, one is Mu Shan's marriage, and the other is money.When she was sent to the family temple, all the treasures given by the Lin family were kept in the warehouse. When Mu Liang got married, they were all treated as dowry, and nothing was left to her.
The dowry followed Mu Liang to the Lin family, so how could she return it to her? Therefore, she felt dissatisfied and wanted to get it back many times. Mu Liang just pretended not to know and followed her.
Xinyang came and left after lunch, and it was clear from the banquet that she also liked roasted leg of lamb.She asked someone to send some to them quietly. There are many sheep in the village. They are well fed and taste good. It is also good to borrow flowers to present Buddha.
After Wei Shi left, she went to the front yard. Mu Liang ordered the servant girl to do things in the hall. Seeing her enter, he sent the servant girl to leave, and said to her: "His Highness Xinyang is gone?"
"Well, let's go, how is the princess?" Lin Ran walked over and sat down beside her, looking at her calm expression.
"She wants to get those things back." Mu Liang didn't hide it from her. This matter will reach her ears sooner or later, so it's better to tell her now, so as not to be caught off guard.
She spoke ambiguously, Lin Ran didn't understand: "What did you take from her?"
"When Lin Si sent you into the mansion back then, she gave her many rare treasures, and in the next five or six years, I gave many more. The dowry given by my grandmother was all hers. At that time, I thought that they were all treasures of the Lin family, so why not follow me When I came here, I never thought that the concubine would take the initiative to ask for it back, saying that this is something in her name, even if it is my dowry, I should tell her. Since she didn't tell me, she will not agree to give it to me."
Mu Liang explained softly that it was indeed a bit sloppy at the time, and the trouble is now a dilemma.In fact, these are nothing, and if they are only returned to the princess, where will the face of the Mu Palace go?
Lin Ran was stunned for a moment, puzzled and said, "Does she mean to return?"
Mu Liang sighed, rubbed his brows and eyes, and felt a headache when he thought of Wang Hao's attitude.Lin Ran at the side saw that she was upset, so he tentatively asked: "Why don't you convert those things and return the money to her?"
"You are generous. I just don't want to honor her heart."
"I'm not being generous, but I just don't want you to be in trouble. It's not worth much money, and it's not worth it to cause you headaches." Lin Ran smiled, stretched out his hand to rub her eyebrows, and said: " Ah Liang, I'll take care of this matter, so don't worry about it, okay?"
"Let you deal with it? The way you deal with it is to give her the money. Have you ever thought that this will only breed tigers?" Mu Liang poked her on the head. Money settled.
What a little loser.
Lin Ran felt aggrieved and said: "That's your mother, I can't do everything right, besides, I have a way to do it, so I can make a big mess and let others see me as a joke."
Mu Liang was curious about her method: "What can you do?"
"Father asked the princess to come back, so I just let daddy take care of it. As for the dowry, those things are not just for the princess. Could it be that her name is written? Dad can send her back to the temple. There will be a second time. Dad can find a way, let him clean up his mess." Lin Ran is arrogant, she can't see Mu Liang is bothered, the things in the shop are already annoying her, why is the princess I can't understand one or two.
Mu Liang hesitated: "I'm afraid it's not good to let Dad come over."
"What's wrong, this matter is a matter of the palace behind closed doors, and has nothing to do with the Lin family. May I ask where the dowry will be returned." Lin Ran thought it was reasonable. looking for trouble.
She said again: "You are not from the Mu family anymore, you are the wife of my Lin family. If she comes again, I will take her to Jing Zhaoyin to have a discussion and see if she dares to go."
This is the most absolute way she said, Mu Liang said helplessly, "I'll ask my father, don't talk nonsense anymore."
"Then don't worry, okay?" Lin Ran coaxed her.
Mu Liang is helpless, the princess is used to being self-reliant, she may only have money in her eyes, if she really wants to reason, I am afraid that both of them are unreasonable.
She remained silent, but Lin Ran suddenly remembered something and asked, "Who does the princess want to marry Mu Shan to?"
The author has something to say: If you don't catch bugs, catch them later.
Xiaoguai: Nothing to say.
