Fengluo Pingyang

"No need, take it away." Fang Yueqi hurriedly took off the cloak, but was suddenly blown by the cold wind and sneezed.

Lin Xuanying frowned and put it back on for him, then dragged him to the Lin residence.

"What are you trying to do, it's really troublesome." Lin Xuanying taught him a lesson, Fang Yueqi rubbed his nose with a sullen face, and was pulled in by him all the way.

After entering the room, Lin Xuanying poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to him, asking, "Why are you alone? Where is Yue Sheng?"

"I was going to ask you." Fang Yueqi said, "Did Ling Ji come back?!"

"You saw that too?" Lin Xuanying sat beside him, "I didn't expect Ling Ji to go to Jianzhou for more than a year, and he made such a great contribution. General Tong promoted him to lieutenant general. The day when the soldiers returned to the capital. As a lieutenant general, he has not yet been approved by the emperor, but this time the emperor must reward him for his meritorious service. According to Lingji's military merits, we don't know what kind of rewards there will be."

"It really is him!" Fang Yueqi slapped the table and said angrily, "He kidnapped Yue Sheng from the street! Quickly think of a way to get him to bring Yue Sheng back!"

Lin Xuanying raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't be so nervous, what danger can Yuesheng and Lingji be in together?"

"It's only dangerous to be with Ling Ji..." Fang Yueqi didn't know how much resentment he would have when he thought that Ling Ji was kicked out of the house by his uncle, and he felt that the other party, Yue Sheng, had something wrong with him... The more he thought about it, the more he became restless Uneasy.

But Lin Xuanying said: "It's useless for you to be anxious. Now that he first returned to the capital, he was summoned into the palace by the emperor as soon as he arrived, and there is no place to stay. Even if he is looking for it, I don't know where to find him."

He sized up Fang Yueqi for a while, and he didn't seem to be fake when he met him. Although he didn't understand why he was so wary of Ling Ji, he comforted him: "Okay, please rest assured, I'll send someone out to find out where Ling Ji is going. .If the emperor doesn't arrange a place for him, he will probably follow the army to the barracks outside the city. He has such a big target now, so it's easy to find."

"Thank you, Lin Xuanying." Fang Yueqi sincerely thanked you.

"No need, which one of us is with whom?" Lin Xuanying laughed.

Fang Yueqi couldn't bear his pretended intimacy, so he twitched his lips: "Don't do this, you should make it clear, who are we with whom?"

"Aren't the two of us just a young scholar who came from a Jinshi background, a talented sixth-rank member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang, and a vegetable seller." Lin Xuanying laughed.

Fang Yueqi's face darkened, staring at Lin Xuanying speechless.

Lin Xuanying said with an innocent face: "You let me make it clear, and you are not happy when you make it clear. It's really difficult to serve."

"You!" Fang Yueqi opened his mouth to attack, but suddenly his nose itched and he sneezed twice.

Lin Xuanying didn't dare to tease him anymore, so she hurriedly called the servants to boil hot water, then went to get a smoker, lit a few pieces of incense and stuffed them into Fang Yueqi's arms.

"Let you stand in the wind for so long, hurry up and hug Nuan Nuan."

"What can this warm up?" Fang Yueqi's mouth twitched.

"Anyway, it's hot. We don't pay much attention to it in our house, so you just make do with it."

"I don't dare to take it. I have nothing to do with it. I'm just a vegetable seller." Fang Yueqi snorted coldly.

Lin Xuanying repeatedly bowed in front of him and said, "Just kidding, don't be so stingy."

Fang Yueqi hugged the smoker and turned away to look at him, feeling that this person was really a headache.

Outside the small courtyard where the Fang family lives now, a tall horse carrying two people stopped outside the courtyard gate.

Ling Ji got off the horse, and respectfully helped Fang Yueqi off the horse, as usual, without any rustiness or deliberation.

Before knocking on the door, the courtyard door opened from the inside, and Mrs. Fang in plain clothes poked her head out, and said, "Sheng'er? I heard a sound outside, and it turned out that you came back. Why are you so I came back late, where is your cousin? This is—"

Madam Fang saw Lingji's face clearly, her voice stopped abruptly, and she looked at him in surprise.

Ling Ji bent over and saluted: "Ma'am."

"Okay...Okay, don't be too polite." Mrs. Fang said a little uncomfortable.

It has been more than a year since Lingji was kicked out of the Hou's mansion that day, and Lingji has never appeared in front of them again. Mrs. Fang almost forgot about this person.Now that she appeared in front of her so suddenly, and came here with her son, Mrs. Fang didn't know how to react for a while.

Fang Yuesheng took a step forward and stood between the two of them: "Mother, go inside quickly, it's still raining." Then he turned his head and called Ling Ji: "Ling Ji, come in, and bring the horse in too. The security here is not as good as in the capital , so as not to be stolen.”

Mrs. Fang saw the horse, could it be that Ling Ji and Yue Sheng came on the same horse?Thinking of that situation, Mrs. Fang suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, and it was uncomfortable to hold her breath.

Ling Ji bowed slightly to Mrs. Fang: "I'm bothering you." He led the horse into the yard, asking Mrs. Fang to stop him or not.

The old lady Fang shouted from the house: "But Yueqi and Yuesheng are back? Hurry up and let them come in to keep warm. It's raining all the time, it's really tossing."

Lord Fang Hou also came out of the main room holding a bowl of hot tea.He has recuperated for these days, and his body has recovered. Recently, he is considering taking everyone back to his hometown. Now it is not an option to rely on his two children to sell vegetables.Both Fang Yueqi and Fang Yuesheng have reached the age when they should get married, but now it's hard to talk about getting married.Lord Fang Hou also planned to go back to his hometown, relying on the face of old Duke Fang and old lady Fang, at least he could talk about two daughter-in-laws from a scholarly family, who would spread their branches and leaves and send them to school in the future. The family has a long history, and it is good to be an official through the imperial examination, leading the Fang family to prosper again.

Master Fang Hou had been thinking about such a plan recently, when he suddenly saw Ling Ji appearing in front of him with such a tall body, he was stunned for a moment.

"Master." Ling Ji saluted as usual.

Master Fang Hou subconsciously said as before: "Good boy, don't be too polite."

Ling Ji glanced at Master Fang Hou unexpectedly, and Fang Yuesheng was even more happy.He was still a little apprehensive at first, afraid that Master Fang would still remember the incident before and would beat Ling Ji out again, but now it seems that he was worrying too much.Perhaps after that incident, Master Fang Hou had already figured it out.

"Lingji, go into the house quickly." Fang Yuesheng took Lingji's hand and was about to lead him into the room.

Master Fang looked at the two hands that were clasped together. One finger was slender and the joints were dark, and his son's hand was made soft like a woman's.

Fang Houye came to his senses, and the absurd thing he had deliberately forgotten became clear again in an instant.

Ling Ji!It was Ling Ji!This shameless thief dares to come to the door!How dare you hold Yue Sheng's hand in such an open manner!This is simply not taking him seriously!

"Stop!" Master Fang Hou yelled angrily, and Fang Yuesheng was so frightened that he immediately fell silent and stood on the steps, not daring to move again.

"You, you, you!" Master Fang pointed at the hands they were holding, and said angrily for a while, "Let go! What a shame! Let go!"

Ling Ji said: "Master..."

"Shut up!" Lord Fang threw the tea bowl at Ling Ji's feet, went up and pulled Fang Yuesheng over, pointed at Ling Ji and said angrily, "Who told you to come? You are not welcome here, you go out immediately!"

Mrs. Fang hurriedly came over to comfort her and said: "Master, calm down, the doctor said you should not get angry, don't get angry."

"How do I get rid of my anger? How do I get rid of my anger?! Didn't you see that all these ambitious bastards have entered the house! Where's Lin Wu? Let Lin Wu beat him out!" Master Fang slapped the door frame angrily.

The old lady Fang was so startled that she came out, and Lin Wu's daughter-in-law supported her by the side.

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Fang asked again and again, "Why are you so angry? Lingji? Why are you here? Come in quickly and sit down. What's the matter with standing in the rain all the time?"

Ling Ji stepped forward, Master Fang immediately glared at him and said, "Get lost! How dare you come in and try!"

Mrs. Fang knocked on her crutches, and said displeasedly: "What's going on? Ling Ji is also a child we watched and grew up with. He has made such a big mistake that we cannot forgive him. How can we drive him away when this rainy day comes? Go? I think you are old-fashioned! Ling Ji, come in, don't worry about him, I'll let you decide."

Ling Ji took a look at Master Fang Hou, walked to Old Madam Fang, and helped her into the house.

Master Fang Hou was so angry that his beard was shaking. Fang Yuesheng glanced at him carefully, and wanted to follow him, but Master Fang Hou immediately grabbed him.

"What are you doing?! Go back to my room! Don't see him!"

"Lingji saved me today, I haven't thanked you yet..." Fang Yuesheng muttered.

Master Fang stared: "What did you say? My words don't work anymore, do they?! Go back to the room! I won't tell you not to come out!"

Fang Yuesheng couldn't help but glanced into the room, and met Shang Lingji's gaze.Ling Ji smiled and nodded to him, Fang Yuesheng could only lower his head, and walked back to his room under Master Fang's glaring gaze.

Mrs. Fang looked at her son's figure. She is such a son who has built a family and a career, but she actually wants to prevent him from seeing a foreigner like a lady in the boudoir. This... what is this? !Thinking in his heart, his resentment towards Lingji deepened.

After entering the main room, Mrs. Fang asked Ling Ji to sit beside her, asking him repeatedly what he had experienced over the past year.

Master Fang Hou and Mrs. Fang could only sit by the side, with uncomfortable expressions on their faces.

"...The seven major pirates in the sea area of ​​Jianzhou have all been wiped out. This time, I am returning to Beijing in response to the call of the saint to restore the emperor's order." Ling Ji briefly explained the battle, and then said: "It's just a matter of returning to Beijing today. I saw Yue Sheng being bullied, so I sent him back."

"Yueqi and Yuesheng have been together all the time, you send Yuesheng back, where is Yueqi?" Master Fang said with a grim expression.

Ling Ji pondered for a moment: "At that time... I didn't see anyone else."

Master Fang and Mrs. Fang tasted the meaning of his words. There are so many people on the street, but he only sees Yue Sheng and has no one else in his eyes. What is this?Looking at each other, the couple's faces were full of unspeakable awkwardness.

However, Mrs. Fang heard the words Jianzhou and pirates, and couldn't help sighing: "It's Jianzhou pirates again..."

Ling Ji knew what she was sighing about, and said: "I've heard about the matter of the Hou's Mansion, but it's just a false frame, I will definitely clear the name of the Hou's Mansion in front of the Emperor."

"It's easy to lose the title but hard to restore it. It's good if you have this heart." Mrs. Fang nodded and said, seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Fang asked Lin Wu's wife to prepare dinner, and Mrs. Fang went to help herself.

"It's late today, and the rain doesn't stop, so don't leave today." Mrs. Fang said kindly, "You just returned to the capital, so I'm afraid you have nowhere to stay. We don't have many rooms here. The bed is still big enough, you can just squeeze with Yuesheng. If he doesn't want to, you can squeeze with Yueqi for a night. Yueqi has always been sensible, not as fussy as Yuesheng. You don't mind, do you? ?”

Ling Ji hurriedly said: "The old lady has arranged it very well, I am worried that I have nowhere to stay."

The old lady Fang smiled and said: "Okay, okay, once you come back, my heart will be settled. I have always regarded you as a child of our Fang family. You were kicked out by the master and lived outside for more than a year. I've been thinking about it all the time. It's all over now, and I'm relieved that you're all gathered together."

"It's the junior's fault that the old lady is worried." Ling Ji said.

Here, the grandparents and grandchildren enjoyed the family relationship happily, and Fang Houye, who was sitting by the side, had already twitched the corners of his eyes and his face was distorted.

Let him live with Yuesheng?This is clearly leading wolves into the house!Not only is Yuesheng not good, but Yueqi is also not good!What is the old lady doing? It's fine if she can't see through the thief's wolfish ambitions. It's just ridiculous to push the two children of the Fang family to him with one sentence!It's ridiculous!

No, absolutely not!
