ordinary people's house

Zhao Er and his uncle Kong Rufeng looked at each other, and walked over with a smile, Zhao Er said: "Just now when Mr. Xiao Lang talked about the past, it made me feel a little bit emotional. My father used to take my eldest brother to Su'an Duke's mansion. , How did Mr. Xiao Lang forget that the second brother has also been there?"

Xiao Yunlang looked at him, recalled it carefully, and said with a smile: "I was young at that time, so I really can't remember."

Zhao Erdao: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Uncle Xiao's family for a long time. May I ask how Uncle Xiao is doing?"

"Thank you, Second Master, for your concern. My father is fine."

"Speaking of Uncle Xiao's birthday a few years ago, I didn't have any good things here. I thought that Uncle Xiao was a man of gentleness and martial arts, so I found a few paintings by Wen Daozi from the previous dynasty. I wonder if Uncle Xiao has seen them?"

Xiao Yunlang: "..."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhao Er asked again: "Is there anything wrong?"

Xiao Yunlang said embarrassingly: "I'm a married man, so I don't know much about the affairs of the house."

Zhao Er thought it was the same, so he didn't ask any more questions. He coughed lightly, and his uncle smiled and said, "I've always heard that General Su'an and Yuan will return to Beijing this year, but I don't know if it's true or not. Does Mr. Xiao Lang know?" ?”

Xiao Yunlang and Lin Yulan looked at each other, Xiao Yunlang felt that Zhao Er was too polite to him just now, it turned out not only because of his father, but also because of his grandfather, but his grandfather is going back to Beijing this year?Why didn't my father and elder brother tell me?Xiao Yunlang didn't speak, Lin Yulan said calmly: "Grandfather has been away for six years, it's not an exaggeration to say that he has worked hard, but now the border is stable, if the emperor wants it, it's okay for my grandfather to return to Beijing."

It's the same as if he didn't say this, Zhao Er slandered, and could only laugh, "It's true."

Lin Yulan's father, Xiao Su, had been the prince and Taifu for 20 years, and now he is in charge of the Xishan camp, but he was no match for Su'an Gong, a real frontier official. Yuan Shenyan was a young general from the beginning until he was 50 years old. The battlefield, raised in Beijing for several years, the northwest border is unstable, no matter how many generals the emperor sent, they were retreating steadily. Yuan Shenyan invited him again on his 60th birthday, and the emperor rewarded him with a mansion in the northwest, allowing him to take Going with his wife and children, Xiao Yunlang's eldest uncle also invited him to go to the Northwest as an official to take care of his parents. Since ancient times, the family members outside the country will stay in Beijing, but the Yuan family can follow Yuan Shenyan's words, which shows the trust of the late emperor in the Yuan family.

After the current emperor ascended the throne, he gave Northwest many rewards to show that he still has the highest trust in the Yuan family. Now that Northwest is stable, and Yuan Shenyan is nearly 70 years old, the emperor intends to call him back. Beijing Rong Yang.

No wonder Zhao Er is so eloquent, Xiao Yunlang thought, when several offshoots of the Zhao family heard them talking about Mr. Su'an, they all slowly gathered together and started to compliment their grandfather one by one.Xiao Yunlang thought it was boring, so he wanted to drag Lin Yulan away, but he heard someone sneer: "Second brother can't ask anyone, but he just asked them. Not everyone is like us, and any relatives can come to the door. The Yuan family's family name is not anyone. They can all climb."

On the day of the first lunar month, Zhao Si was still playing with a folding fan, fanning the wind leisurely. A tall and slender young man beside him was dressed in white with a proud look on his face. You didn’t rent the clothes you wore, haha.”

Xiao Yunlang was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, the young master next to Zhao Si said: "My father is kind enough to solve your problems. You see us being bullied, so you want to increase the price. In the end, you still rely on how many relatives you have to pay me. It's a shame to beat up my cousin's house!"

"You are Li Xiangmin's cousin?" Xiao Yunlang looked strange.

The Li family was popular, and Wang intended to marry Li Xiangmin's younger sister for her son. She felt that although the Li family's roots were shallow, the younger sister of a second-rank official was not a disgrace to her son. She invited Li Xiangshan to have a drink today. After being reprimanded by Li Xiangmin, their father and son didn't know what Steward Li was doing behind their backs. They only felt that Lin Yulan and his wife would take advantage of the situation to bully them even though they were down and out, so they couldn't help holding grudges.

Li Xiangshan sneered and said: "The emperor is merciful, and you are punished with death. You are not grateful, but you do all kinds of degrading things. You are really no different from the rascals in the market." He glanced at Zhao Si and said lightly, "Zhao Shibo also Don't be afraid of humiliating your family style."

Zhao Sidao: "Did you hear that! Don't drive these two people out!"

Zhao Er was on duty at the court and knew much more than Zhou Zhou, Li Xiangshan and others. After hearing what Zhao Si said, he had no intention of stopping him.The more offended, the better!

Xiao Yunlang was not good at arguing with others, and he had never met such a confounding person, so he was dumbfounded for a while, but Lin Yulan said coldly: "Zhao Si! Try saying something again!"

Zhao Si flinched. In previous years, when Lin Sanlang came to the mansion to support his sister, he did not take care of him less, but the situation is different now!Zhao Si got up again, now he is still the young master of the Hou family, Lin Sanlang is now a peddler, maybe what Li Xiangshan said is true, they are too poor to live on, if this is the case, the Xiao family must be Ignore them, and even feel that they are hurting my face!Zhao Si's eyes suddenly slid across Xiao Yunlang's face, and he became annoyed for a moment, how could someone like Lin Sanlang marry such a beauty, and the girl from the Lin family that his mother liked was just a girl from the Tian family with thick hands and feet!

Li Xiangshan said from the side: "Why are the servants of your mansion so disobedient?"

Zhao Si reacted and said angrily: "What! Didn't you hear what I said, drive people out!"

Zhao Er and the others tried to persuasion a few words in a pretentious manner, and Zhao Si looked at Xiao Yunlang again, thinking to himself what a pity, hum, if he followed him... Zhao Si suddenly screamed: "Ah—you Dare to hit me!"

Lin Yulan kicked him in the abdomen, and pressed him to the ground with one hand. Before Zhao Si could react from the severe pain just now, Lin Yulan punched him again, straight to Zhao Si's face. All of a sudden red and white.

Only then did Zhao Er realize that this matter is going to be a big deal!Then hurriedly asked someone to separate them.

Lin Yulan bent down and whispered in Zhao Si's ear, "If you dare to look at him with your dirty eyes again, I'll gouge out both of your eyeballs!"

Zhao Si was still yelling, but the coldness in his words made him shiver.

Lin Yulan beat someone, but Xiao Yunlang didn't even stop him, he just stood there waiting for Lin Yulan to come back slowly after beating someone, he politely said to Zhao Er: "Let's say goodbye to Elder Sister, please Second Master tell Hou Ye, our husband and wife No more food left."

Zhao Er still wanted to stop them, or go to see his father with them, so as to sue the fourth one. Lin Yulan moved his bloody palm, and he didn't dare to say anything.

Li Xiangshan didn't expect that one or two words of his own would cause such a big consequence, and he was frightened for a while. Li Xiangmin was the only one in his family who was in a high position. the...

Xiao Yunlang glanced at him and said: "Mr. Li, I wish you the title of this year's gold list."

Li Xiangshan's heart trembled.

On the other side of the inner house, the same is going on and on.

Zhao Zongdao: "Since my mother offended my wife, I'm also a disgrace. My grandfather just drives our mother and son out of the house. My grandfather's house is gone. Our mother and son will sleep in the open in the future, and will not come back to make my wife angry!"

Zhao Heng has two big heads, Mrs. Wang is crying, Mrs. Lin is silent, Mrs. Cui has a face of sneering. The rest of the relatives, Ms. Kong, are in the room, and I am afraid that they can also hear the voice. Zhao Zong continued: "Anyway, today, little uncle It’s here too, why don’t you ask little uncle to take us away!”

Zhao Heng said: "Shut up!" You don't have to think about it, it must be that Wang is bullying Lin again, why is it today? !Zhao Heng said to Lin: "Daughter-in-law, if your mother has something to say that is not right, our own family members can say whatever they want in lockup, what are you going to do if you have to make a fuss and make others laugh at you?"

Lin choked with sobs and said: "My wife won't let my natal family attend the banquet, and my daughter-in-law has nothing to say. Why don't we just follow Yi Zong'er and follow Yulan."

"You—" Zhao Heng pointed at Mrs. Wang, who trembled a bit, and since there was no Mrs. Kong to help, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Zhao Heng turned around and said to Lin: "Your mother did something wrong, so don't argue with her, Zong'er, come and persuade your mother."

Before Zhao Heng finished speaking, a little girl ran over in a panic, "Master, it's not good, Mr. Lin and the fourth young master are fighting! Mr. Lin is coming to say goodbye to grandma."

Zhao Heng fell down on the chair all of a sudden, and tremblingly said, "What... what's going on?"

Zhao Zong helped Lin Yujing stand up, and Lin Yujing asked anxiously: "Why did you fight? Zong'er helped me to have a look."

"Yes."

When Lin Yulan saw Zhao Heng, she said coldly: "My husband and I have understood the way of hospitality in the Marquis of Yongcheng."

Zhao Er tried his best to wink at Zhao Heng. Zhao Heng couldn't understand, and he didn't know what happened. He loved his youngest son in his heart. When he saw Zhao Si humming and being carried over by several servants, his heart was even more biased. The youngest son was even more dissatisfied with the Lin family and his wife, Xiao Yunlang pretended not to notice, and said with a smile: "Let's just say goodbye to the eldest sister."

Zhao Heng said angrily: "Lin Sanlang! Don't you take an old man like me too seriously?"

"We are indeed a shabby household, we shouldn't have entered the door of the Marquis's Mansion!" Xiao Yunlang said, "We don't have any good things as gifts, so in order not to make people laugh, I took out my grandfather's beloved things back then, Marquis, We value you too much."

Zhao Heng was dumb for a moment, Zhao Si hummed again, and Zhao Er said: "Father, I don't know who the fourth brother was bewitched to say something that shouldn't be said." Li Xiangshan didn't dare to say anything in front of Zhao Heng. Bottom, no objection.As for Zhao Er, he was not afraid of offending the Li family, but he was afraid that the fourth brother would really marry Li Xiangmin's sister.

Zhao Si cried out, "Father! I'm telling the truth!"

"Shut up, too!" Zhao Heng said.

Lin Yulan stood with his hands behind his back, Xiao Yunlang stood beside him, the husband and wife stood proudly, and Xiao Yunlang said: "If you ask anyone, you will understand right and wrong, and our husband and wife will not bother you again in the future." , who can please lead the way, let us go to see the eldest sister."

Xiao Yunlang spoke clearly, Zhao Heng naturally couldn't continue to blame them, but at this moment, there was no peace in the backyard... He frowned fiercely, and forced a smile, "Zong'er, go see you with your uncle Mother, remember to speak well."

Zhao Zong said coldly: "I know."

After they left, Zhao Hengcai went to see his youngest son, and Zhao Er followed him in case Zhao Si would sue him back.

Knowing the cause and effect, Lin Yujing just sighed deeply.

Lin Yulan said: "Sister, don't worry, just tell Zhao Heng today that our Lin family is not easy to bully, and he will always weigh things carefully in the future."

Lin Yujing nodded with complicated emotions.

Zhao Zong sneered and said, "If he continues to indulge Wang this time, I will go to the clan mansion to sue Wang! Sue Wang for being unkind to his mother."

"Don't be so impulsive, your grandfather has a lot of things to consider," Xiao Yunlang said, "Even if it's for your mother, if you leave the Hou Mansion in the future, who will your mother rely on?"

Zhao Zong stopped talking.

Lin Yujing calmed down, and said: "I actually understand that they bullied me before and dared not speak, and I will not be afraid of them anymore. There is nothing to fear between us, mother and child."

Lin Yulan nodded and said, "If there is anything to do in the future, remember to ask someone to find us in Nanluoxiang."

"it is good."

Zhao Zongdao: "I will see you in a few days."

Lin Yulan patted him on the shoulder, and left with Xiao Yunlang.

The next day, Lin Yulan and Xiao Yunlang looked at the generous return gift from the Marquis of Yongcheng, and understood Zhao Heng's attitude. The husband and wife were planning to sell what they didn't need, when they heard someone knock on the door and say, "Someone Are you there?"

Lin Yulan went out and asked, "Who is it?"

There was a rustling outside the door, like the sound of dismounting a horse, and after a while, a hesitant female voice said, "Yulan, I am the second sister."
