Ning Chen Ling Xiao

With Chu Yifeng's big wedding, the matter of Ling Xiao's entry into the court has to be added to the schedule in advance. When Ling Xiao was still thinking about how to mention this matter, the old emperor sent down an imperial decree, first of all, he praised Ling Xiao for his assistance in the palace in the past few years The emperor's grandson made great contributions, and he also mentioned the battle of Kushaer Lake in the north last year, and finally promoted Ling Xiao to be the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

The second-rank general before Ling Xiao was just a false title, and the former doctor of the Ministry of Industry was just a job once every five days, and now he really has an errand.

Wei Qinglan, who originally hoped to wait until Chu Yifeng became weaker to enter the imperial court, couldn't, so Ai Ai followed her into the Hanlin Academy, becoming the first man in the Wei family to become a civil servant.

After Chu Yifeng's work is over, it's time for Ling Zhi and Shi Mingcheng's wedding. Ling Xiao takes care of Ling Zhi's marriage every day, and it's not appropriate for Chu Yifeng to help out in his filial piety. He knows how much Ling Xiao loves Ling Zhi , I went to the warehouse to search for a lot of good things, and they were delivered to the Shoukanghou Mansion, and I wrote a gift list in a decent manner. .

In order to deceive others, Ling Xiao doesn't live in the yard anymore, he only rests in the front study every day, and waits until the key is unlocked everywhere before getting up, going out through the small door Lin Mao left for him, and passing through an alley Turning inside is the Prince Ying's Mansion. Ling Xiao often climbs over the wall and enters without calling the door. The servants inside are already waiting.

Ling Xiao patted the sticky leaves on his legs, and said lightly: "You should be more strict in patrolling at night, is the prince asleep?"

"No." The valet held a lantern, bowed and said, "My lord just danced with the sword for a while, and now he is taking a bath."

Ling Xiao nodded: "Okay, let's go." He said and quickly stepped inside.

Chu Yifeng was lying on his stomach in the big bathtub, leaning against the edge of the bathtub with a cloth towel under his chin, squinting his eyes, and heard someone come in and said lazily: "Go... get the one that the young master made last time... something cold, It's the one with the honey candies on it..."

Seeing Chu Yifeng's limp look, Ling Xiao thought it was funny, walked over and rubbed Chu Yifeng's head, and said softly, "What does the lord want to eat?"

Chu Yifeng immediately opened his eyes, surprised and delighted, and said with a smile: "Why are you here, the house is not busy anymore?"

"I'm too busy to make it into the evening." Ling Xiao smiled and turned around to give instructions to his servant, Chu Yifeng. He came in and took a cotton cloth to help Chu Yifeng wipe himself clean, and wrapped him in a large outer robe, holding his hand for two Sitting on the bed together, Ling Xiao gently helped Chu Yifeng dry his long hair, and said with a smile: "I saw the things you sent, some antiques are rare things, especially the one hundred The white jade carving of the beast holding the ball, I remember it was brought in from outside on your birthday, so exquisite, why did you give it away?"

Chu Yifeng smiled indifferently: "I don't understand what's so good about those things. I might as well give them to my cousin as a dowry. Just take whatever is good in my treasury."

"That doesn't work either. I remember that you had a good time with the jade carving that day. I put it away and they will bring it back to you tomorrow. You can put it on your own." Ling Xiao smiled and lowered his head to kiss Chu Yifeng's forehead. Just as he was about to say something, the waiter was outside to ask the prince for instructions on the ice porridge that the prince wanted to eat. Ling Xiao got up and brought it, and still ordered the waiter to step down, and then said: "There are a lot of good things in the pheasant. We are not outsiders, so there is no need to eat it." in this way."

Chu Yifeng nodded in agreement, took a few mouthfuls of ice porridge and said with a smile: "It's not as delicious as the one you made, um...it's okay."

Ling Xiao also took a sip, and said with a smile: "If you like it, I will make it for you in the future. Eat less ice on weekdays, and if you can't handle it, you will have a stomachache."

"I have a good appetite." Chu Yifeng finished eating a bowl of ice in a few mouthfuls, put it on the small table beside him, and leaned over to Ling Xiao to take a closer look. Sure enough, his cuffs and knees were stained a few places, and he said with a smile: "I said it's so late How did you come here, over the wall?"

Ling Xiao chuckled: "No, just to see you."

Chu Yifeng felt even warmer when he heard the words, and he was a little eager to try: "Then I'll go over the wall to find you tomorrow?"

"Don't." Ling Xiao was afraid that Chu Yifeng might really go over the wall if he got playful, so he hurriedly said: "There are so many people in my house, it can't compare to you who are in charge of the house here. When you come back, people will see King Ying Your Highness is visiting Shoukanghou's mansion at night, maybe the prince will ask you to move back to the palace if he gets angry."

That won't work, how much effort it took to move out, Chu Yifeng immediately became honest: "Then I won't go."

"Be obedient." Ling Xiao also asked for water to wash. Chu Yifeng had all his clothes here. Ling Xiao casually took a piece of underwear and changed it. He went to bed and hugged Chu Yifeng to lie down together. Ling Xiao had been busy all day. The bed was about to fall asleep, but Chu Yifeng was not very sleepy, and he was afraid that talking with Ling Xiao would delay his rest, so he just held his arm and stared at the roof. Ling Xiao looked funny, and turned to hug Chu Yifeng Softly: "Can't sleep?"

"Well, I slept a lot during the noon break, and I'm still refreshed now." Chu Yifeng's eyes were bright, "I'll just watch you sleep."

Ling Xiao couldn't help laughing, and said in a low voice: "It's no wonder I can sleep if you stare at me like this. Forget it, I'll coax you to sleep... Let me tell you a story..." Ling Xiao had been busy in the mansion all day. In fact, I was very tired about the pheasant, and I was so dazed that I couldn't remember any stories, so I changed my mind, "No, let's tell a joke..."

Ling Xiao tried his best to say that Chu Yifeng could understand, and said slowly: "There are a few eunuchs talking together... What do you think they are talking about?"

Chu Yifeng thought hard, and said honestly for a while, "No... I don't know."

Ling Xiao was about to fall asleep at the moment, closed his eyes and said, "That's... nonsense."

Chu Yifeng stopped talking, and lay down obediently leaning against Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao also found it funny in a daze, but when he wanted to listen to a story, he heard a bad joke. He thought it was boring, so he should go to bed... Ling Xiao became more and more conscious Drowsy, when Chu Yifeng was about to fall asleep, Chu Yifeng burst out laughing suddenly, slapped his thigh, tears almost flowed out, he couldn't breathe, beat the bed and laughed: "Haha... I understand... it's not... nothing, nothing. Talking... haha, the eunuch didn't chirp... didn't chirp haha...you're so funny..."

Ling Xiao woke up all of a sudden, seeing Chu Yifeng who was laughing so hard that he couldn't get out of his anger, turned over and pressed him, and said in a deep voice: "Laughing now?! What did you do just now... Stop laughing and go to sleep! "

"Pfft... umm." Chu Yifeng obediently covered his mouth with one hand tightly, but his smile was uneven. Ling Xiao felt that Chu Yifeng was trembling under him. Ling Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he took Chu Yifeng's hand and smiled. Said: "Forget it, laugh if you want to laugh..."

"Haha... Chi Chi Chi..." Chu Yifeng laughed loudly and pounded on the bed, but he couldn't get over it, Ling Xiao was half sleepy from his troubles, seeing his overjoyed expression, he couldn't help but love him so much, deliberately After saying a few simple and easy-to-understand jokes, Chu Yifeng laughed until he couldn't breathe. Ling Xiao got up and poured him a cup of tea. Chu Yifeng drank it with a smile, wiped off some tea that had been spilled on the quilt, and said with a smile: " Haha...well, haha...you can drink a few sips too..."

"Don't choke." Ling Xiao took a sip from the cup that Chu Yifeng drank, and said with a smile, "Okay, it's really late, can you sleep?"

Chu Yifeng nodded, and lay down leaning against Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao ordered someone to come in to change a basin of ice, pulled the blanket to cover the two of them, and said softly: "Sleep, I will tell you jokes if you can't sleep .”

Thinking of the joke just now, Chu Yifeng held his stomach and laughed for a while, and agreed, leaning on Ling Xiao's shoulder and closing his eyes, and the two fell asleep after a while.

At dawn the next day, Ling Xiao washed up and put on his robes. Chu Yifeng woke up just as soon as he put on the fan pendant purse and the like. If the children can't find me, they will make trouble."

Chu Yifeng didn't sleep too much, so he got up, knowing that Ling Xiao couldn't go back late and wouldn't leave him for breakfast, so he nodded and said, "Got it, let's go."

Ling Xiao went back and stayed in the study for a while before coming out. The furniture he made for Ling Zhi was going to be delivered today, and he had to check it out. These were all Ling Zhi's dowry, and there was nothing sloppy about them.

Mrs. Shi brought a group of people over to have a look after dinner. Mrs. Shi smiled from afar and said, "Is there any sandalwood? You can smell that fragrance from afar."

Ling Xiao greeted Mrs. Shi with a smile, and said with a smile: "My aunt knows this best. There are sandalwood and pear blossom wood, which were just brought in today."

Mrs. Shi looked at the one who only nodded, and said with satisfaction: "I knew there was nothing wrong with your management, but the childish girl is hateful, and she would not even let her accompany me to take a look." Mrs. Shi said that everyone laughed When she got up, Jing Yu smiled and said, "Aunt and grandma are the best at making fun of people. Pheasant is ashamed when he hears that his dowry has come, so why would he come?"

Jing Yu gave birth to a son who weighed seven and a half catties in June. Now that she is confinement, she is a little richer than before but more charming. Since she was pregnant with the child, Ling Xiao's gift and Ling Zhi's care are no longer there. After all, Jing Yu knew in her heart that this mother-in-law's uncle and sister-in-law loved her more than Ling Yi's serious sister-in-law. Thinking of Xia Lan, Lingyi's mother and daughter, Jing Yu sighed in her heart. Fortunately, her husband is now separating from them. She understands right and wrong, treats herself very well, and Mrs. Shi is the most fair, and she didn't blame herself because Xia Lanlingyi caused troubles every time. Always better.

"Okay, it's all good." Mrs. Shi glanced at Xia Lan who was following behind, and couldn't help sneering in her heart. This lowly maid went to her place last night and complimented her in a half-hearted manner. Wai meant to ask about Ling Yi's dowry when she got married in October. Mrs. Shi ignored her at that time, what was she thinking?If you want to ask about the dowry, first compare the betrothal gifts sent by Shi Fu and Yu Fu, one is the sky and the other is the earth.

Now the Shoukanghou Mansion is more and more favored, and Mrs. Shi's kindness to the government back then, plus Shi Mingcheng's efforts to make a face for Ling Zhi, he pulled 66 cars full of dowries, Jiangnan No one in the Shi family knew that the family had a huge fortune, and they didn't care about money at all to marry such a daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Shi didn't want to say it at first, but Xia Lan wanted to chew behind her back when she was annoyed, so she took advantage of this and said with a smile: "Now, [-]% of the pheasant's dowry is actually bought by your elder brother." Mrs. Shi said intentionally Inadvertently glanced at Xia Lan, and said lightly: "The dowry of the ladies in the mansion is also set according to the rules of the concubine. This share is indispensable for everyone. The rest is just the private house of the individual mother. It's hard, I lost my mother when I landed, the second young master loves my sister so much, I gave all the dowry that my wife brought from Jingguo's mansion to the pheasant as a dowry, it's not enough, and I actually added seven points to it..."

After saying this, Xia Lan's complexion suddenly turned down. It turned out that these were not in the regulations, but were paid by Ling Xiao himself. Where did he get so much money?Arriving at Ling Yi's... Xia Lan gave Jing Yu a hard look, Ling Xuan has been separated from her since he married this daughter-in-law, and I'm afraid it won't work if he asks him to donate some money to Ling Yi as a dowry.

Nanny Li saw the eyebrows, and laughed: "Why don't people say that Young Master Ling doesn't marry a wife, and together with Young Master Ling, he gave money to his younger sister, so there is no money to marry a wife haha."

After talking, everyone laughed again, and Mrs. Shi watched and instructed Ling Xiao a few more words before being surrounded by everyone.
