ordinary people's house

Of course, Xiao Yunlang didn't know that these candidates who came to Beijing not only had to study hard day and night, but also had to make some early plans for their future official life. If we have the opportunity, we should also make friends with ministers, and try to get a famous post from a senior official.And for those court officials, why not do such a thing if they can get to know the new blood of the court early and draw people to their camp?

Xiao Yunlang's neighbor, Pang Juzi, was lucky enough to get to know the servant of the Ministry of Rites through his teacher in his hometown. The Qian servant admired Pian Juzi a lot, and asked him a few words about his daily life. When he came to Beijing, he rented a house in Nanminiao Lane beside Qingyun Road.

Qian Shilang withdrew his smile, and suddenly said, "I know where it is, but there are some great people living in Nanluoxiang."

Juzi was puzzled, and Qian Shilang said to him meaningfully, "You must remember that I don't care about it. Don't tell anyone about your life there. Ask others about it. After a while, people will know that there is a family of King Qi’s rebellious party living there, the Holy One is kind, although they were lucky enough not to be executed, they are still untouchable."

Although the second prince was imprisoned, he was also granted the title of king, and the title was the "fork" of the forked road.

Pang Juzi broke out in a cold sweat. He left the Minister's Mansion in a daze. He hurriedly asked his friends to inquire, only to find out that he lived next door to the Luangdang. He hurriedly asked his mother to change to another family. Unfortunately, the trial is coming soon. Even the inn is full of people, and it is impossible to move out.

Afterwards, the mother and son discussed it with hatred, and they just had no contact with the neighbors. That's why Xiao Yunlang sent leeks.

Xiao Yunlang wrapped wontons displeasedly, Xiao Yunlang was not at home, Tao Zi timidly said: "Young master, when will the wontons be cooked?"

Only then did Xiao Yunlang realize that Lin Yulan wasn't at home before he went to Zuo's house.

Feiran Tea House is still the elegant room on the second floor, and the opposite is still Shen Mobai.

Shen Mobai pushed a piece of white paper turned upside down in front of Lin Yulan, Lin Yulan frowned and asked, "What is this?"

"You'll know if you look at it."

Lin Yulan didn't move, and didn't even look at the paper with a few lines written on the front. Shen Mobai felt a little surprised, and said, "Are you really not curious?"

Lin Yulan shook her head, and said flatly: "I came to see you today to tell you that no matter what you are planning, I don't want to participate, so don't look for me again."

"Oh?" Shen Mobai looked at him unexpectedly, he thought he could convince this person last time.

Lin Yulan said: "For the sake of the second prince, our Lin family almost wiped out the whole family. The price is really too high. I would rather be mediocre for the rest of my life than take this risk."

Shen Mobai said: "You should understand that Yuqing is a person. He watched the new emperor prefer the Yuan family and the Xiao family. At that time, the crown prince looked down on the courtiers favored by the previous emperor. Your Lin family will lose sooner or later. He just took this risky move, and his wish is that the Lin family will continue to maintain the prestige of the first family, and what he has not done, just has an opportunity in front of you."

"...Is this the wish of the elder brother?"

"You are his younger brother, you should know this best."

Lin Yulan didn't understand that when he was born, his elder brother had already entered the officialdom. The elder brother was like a father. The honor and disgrace of the former emperor hung on his heart, and the late emperor's love for the Lin family gradually became a knife that the crown prince hung on the Jingchuan Hou's mansion, although it could fall, so the elder brother turned to the second prince.After Lin Yulan figured it out, her heart was full of pain. Why did her eldest brother never tell her about these things for so many years? How long has he been responsible for these things by himself?

Lin Yulan suddenly had a question in her heart, if she knew this... what choice would she make?Knowing that his lord is the son of the prince's teacher, knowing that the Yue family is a steadfast princeling, and knowing that such a road is dangerous, will he follow in the footsteps of his eldest brother and help the second prince risk the world?

The eldest brother has never revealed anything to himself, maybe as Shen Mobai said, he wanted to tell himself, but in the end he decided to isolate himself from the prince's seizure of the throne.

"Hey, you said that you want to live a peaceful life with Mr. Xiao's family, but do you think that if you think so, others will think so too?"

"What do you mean?" Lin Yulan frowned.

Shen Mobai smiled and said: "Now that your family has made any moves, the entire capital will know about it, and now the aristocratic family knows that you lived in the Jinjiang uncle's mansion for a while years ago. Why do you think this is, who called you Yuqing's younger brother?" The blood relationship is endless. Although the emperor did not punish you for your crimes, believe it or not, once the capital is in turmoil, you will be suspected, and your husband will be suspected. You said the Xiao family, can you save you again? What about two?"

"what have you done!"

Shen Mobai sat leisurely on the chair, smiled and said, "Aren't you going to take a look at the paper in your hand?"

Lin Yulan stared at the white paper, her teeth clenched together tightly, Shen Mobai approached him and said, "You said that if the emperor finds out that the test papers are from this teahouse in the future, and you suddenly visit the restaurant frequently these days... ...Xiao Linzi, don't be upset, I just want to tell you that the test is only three days away."

Forced to board the thief ship!

Shen Mobai sighed: "You know me. I'm just an ordinary scholar with no family support behind me. You are different. The two older sisters in your family are still there, and the second brother's family and Yuqing's children are just exiled. You If you have the ability, you can bring people back as much as you can, it's better than you are now guarding a broken yard alone... Oh, I won't say it, I know that you and your husband have a good relationship, but have you ever thought about it? How long can Xiao Yunlang stay with you? If one day your relationship is worn out by daily trivialities, what should you do? An upright man who likes someone should have the ability to support the one he loves. He will never leave you!"

When it came to the end, Shen Mobai's tone was full of bewitching, "Don't you think that, with the ability to make him inseparable from you for the rest of his life, he will never escape from your grasp."

Spring rain is as expensive as oil.

Xiao Yunlang looked at the water droplets in an unhappy mood, thinking that Yulan had gone somewhere, he must have not brought an umbrella, hey, the little wonton is out of the pot, why hasn't he come back yet.

Xiao Mulang held an umbrella and knocked on the door, Wen'er trotted over, opened the door and said in surprise: "Master, why are you here?"

"Where's Yunlang?"

"The young master is sitting over there."

Xiao Yunlang heard the voice and looked over, he was sitting on the threshold, he couldn't help feeling embarrassed when he saw the elder brother, he got up and patted his buttocks, and said: "Eldest brother, have you eaten yet?"

Xiao Mulang didn't seem to have seen the scene just now, and said with a smile: "Recently, the court has been busy with things, and I have time to spare now. I just came back from the yamen."

"I made small wontons, Wen'er, go and fill a bowl."

"Hey."

Xiao Yunlang pulled Xiao Mulang into the room and sat down, made tea for him, and said with a smile: "Brother, did you see any vegetables in my yard? Daddy made it and ate it."

"Well, good." Xiao Mulang looked over and found the greenness very pleasing.

Wen'er quickly scooped up a bowl of small wontons, Xiao Yunlang said expectantly: "Brother, try it."

Xiao Mulang took one with a spoon and ate it slowly, nodded and said, "Very good."

"I can rest assured that."

After Xiao Mulang finished eating a bowl, he said casually, "Why don't you see Lin Yulan?"

"He..." Xiao Yunlang frowned, "He went out."

"Where did you go?"

"I don't know. It wasn't raining when he went out, so maybe he went out for a walk."

Xiao Mulang wiped his mouth, and said: "There are still a few days until the exam. The emperor attaches great importance to this exam. Your second brother and I are also busy arranging people to patrol during the exam. In a few days, the capital may There will be martial law, so please stay at home and don’t go out.”

"What happened?" Xiao Yunlang asked with a frown. If it was an ordinary exam, how could there be martial law in the capital?

"Yunlang," Xiao Mulang said with a smile, "the emperor has been the prince for more than 20 years. He has been the target of countless people since he was born, but he has ascended the throne safely. This is not something that can be covered by the word luck. Your Majesty He has inexhaustible patience and perseverance, and also has the unfathomable ability to perceive everything, otherwise, he would have been killed by someone long ago."

Xiao Yunlang smiled and said: "I know the emperor is very powerful." He just didn't understand why the eldest brother would tell him this.

Xiao Mulang took another sip of the soup and said, "If you're not full, give me another bowl."

"Hey, okay, Wen'er, go and scoop up a bowl."

The rain soon subsided, and when Xiao Mulang went out, he saw a scholar passing by Xiao Yunlang's door, and he walked along the wall for fear of avoiding it. Xiao Mulang looked at him with a smile, and the scholar's eyes widened in horror, regardless of the new gown. Splashed with muddy water, hurriedly ran to the next door.

Xiao Mulang didn't ask anyone to see him off, and walked out of Nanmino Alley by himself with an umbrella. He waited at the entrance of the alley for a while before seeing Lin Yulan who came back alone.

Lin Yulan looked a little wary when she saw him, Xiao Mulang said indifferently: "Come with me."

Lin Yulan stood there, hesitant.

Xiao Mulang had already bypassed him and walked out, saying: "The emperor wants to see you."

In the afternoon, the sky cleared up and the sky was blue. Xiao Yunlang stood at the door and looked around for a few times. He couldn't help but sighed and went back with his clothes on.

Lin Yulan came back in the evening, and Xiao Yunlang said pleasantly, "You're back!"

"Ah."

Xiao Yunlang walked over and stroked his face, and said with concern: "Where have you been? Why has it been so long, your complexion is so bad."

Lin Yulan said, "I want to take a break."

Even though there are still many things to ask, Xiao Yunlang nodded and said: "I told the girl to boil water, you can soak it before going to bed, are you hungry?"

Lin Yulan shook her head.

After everything was settled, Lin Yulan said to Xiao Yunlang, "Don't you want to do some business?"

"Ok?"

Lin Yulan lowered her head, her expression dimmed under the lights, "Since Nanhuo earns the most money, why don't we take a walk to the south after a while, so that we can know for ourselves."

"...That's fine," Xiao Yunlang smiled, and he walked over and asked softly, "You today..."

Lin Yulan said: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry, the two of us will live in peace and stability from now on."

"it is good."

Lin Yulan looked at Xiao Yunlang's soft eyebrows, and felt relieved. There is really no need to tell him some things, as long as he is happy every day, as for the rest, the sins committed by the elder brother can be paid by himself.
