ordinary people's house

When Xiao Mulang asked what had happened, he sat down and stretched out his hand to Xiao Yunlang. Xiao Yunlang honestly handed it over. Xiao Mulang glanced at Xiao Dulang and said, "You can't even tell? The weather is getting colder, soldiers I'm too lazy to use hot water, my hands often peel, it will be fine when the weather is warmer."

Xiao Yunlang also heaved a sigh of relief, but Xiao Mulang grabbed his hand and wouldn't let it go back. Seeing his elder brother's silent face, Xiao Yunlang's heart became more and more heavy, but in the end Xiao Mulang didn't ask anything, just said: "Although it doesn't matter, it's still necessary. If you need ointment for a few days, don’t leave for a few days.”

Xiao Yunlang subconsciously said: "Yulan doesn't know how to cook..." Xiao Mulang glanced over, Xiao Yunlang didn't dare to say anything, lowered his head and said: "I know."

The kitchen put a lot of effort into cooking a table of Xiao Yunlang's favorite dishes. The three brothers sat together, and Xiao Dulang gave them cups. Xiao Yunlang's hands were covered with medicine, which was sticky. What to eat, Xiao Yunlang looked around and said, "I want fish soup."

"Fish soup..." Xiao Dulang served him a small bowl, and Xiao Mulang watched them from the side, drinking in silence.

"Is father busy with official duties recently?"

Xiao Dulang replied: "Not too busy."

It has been more than three years since their mother passed away, Xiao Yunlang thought about it, and asked again: "Did father and aunt choose a wife for eldest brother recently?"

"Pfft——" Xiao Dulang laughed loudly, "In the past six months, the suitors will break through the threshold of our family, and my elder brother will look down on anyone."

Xiao Yunlang smiled and said, "Why?"

"Yes, brother, why?"

Xiao Mulang looked at the two younger brothers who were looking for death, and said to Xiao Dulang with a half-smile, "If you want to get married, just tell your father, I don't care if you go past me."

"Hey hey." Xiao Dulang didn't dare to speak anymore.

The Xiao family brothers are now the hottest young talents in Beijing. They have noble family backgrounds, outstanding talents, and they are all clean and self-sufficient. They have never had a bad reputation. People who have girls of the right age have thought of these two brothers more or less. Xiao Su doesn't care about these , and told the brothers to figure it out for themselves, but it turned out that after several years, they are still bachelors.

Xiao Yunlang also drank a few cups, his face blushed twice, Xiao Mulang said with a gentle face: "It's the end of November now, why don't you just go back after the year."

Xiao Dulang was also taken aback. Looking at Xiao Yunlang, Xiao Yunlang was stunned for a while and said, "No way, Yunlan is at home alone."

"He will never die of hunger." Xiao Mulang said indifferently.

"...He doesn't know anything, he'll starve to death..." Xiao Yunlang hiccupped, lying on his side on the table softly, with his head resting on his arms, and looked at Xiao Mulang with his eyes open.

Xiao Mulang smiled and said, "Since he doesn't know anything, let's not let him go, shall we?"

"No..." Xiao Yunlang blinked his eyes, and the blurred eyes suddenly became clear, "He is too bitter in his heart, I can't let him go, I have to feel sorry for him..."

The Meiyuan where Xiao Yunlang lived at home is still there, and people have been cleaning it diligently these years. When there is no accident in the Jingchuan Hou Mansion, Xiao Yunlang occasionally comes back to live for a few days, but he came less often in the past six months.

Xiao Dulang put Xiao Yunlang on the bed, and as soon as Xiao Yunlang got on the soft big bed, he snored a little, and Xiao Dulang also yawned and went out to sleep on the couch outside.

Xiao Mulang didn't wait for his second younger brother to check it out tomorrow, and asked someone to come back with the news in the afternoon.

Butler You Bo said: "Young master, do we have to wait for the master to come back..."

Xiao Mulang said, "No need."

You Bo said: "The master has been afraid of hearing that the young master has been wronged for the past six months."

Xiao Mulang said: "There is no need to let father know about such trivial matters. You find a clever boy to go to Li Xiangmin's house and tell him that his uncle is going to buy our house by force. Li Xiangmin cherishes feathers the most, and he knows what to do."

Uber responded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Isn't this too embarrassing?"

Xiao Mulang took a sip of the tea, and said indifferently, "He feels slapped in the face, so go talk to his uncle."

"Hey, then I know."

Xiao Mulang walked slowly to Meiyuan, the maid said: "The second young master and the third young master both drank the wine soup and fell asleep, the servant and maid have been watching inside, don't ask the third young master to rub the ointment away."

Xiao Mulang nodded and walked into the inner room without even looking at the second brother who was sleeping crookedly. Xiao Yunlang was so sleepy that his face was flushed, and his hands were placed by the pillow. Xiao Mulang looked at it for a while, then walked out quietly .Xiao Dulang outside woke up and called softly, "Brother."

Xiao Mulang nodded, and Xiao Dulang followed him out, muttering: "At the beginning I said that my brother shouldn't marry that surnamed Lin, but you and your parents have taken a fancy to him."

Back then, Xiao Dulang didn't like Lin Yulan, so he fought with him several times. Xiao Mulang didn't stop him, and let them fight. Later, Xiao Yunlang and Lin Yulan got married, and the two were still on good terms. Xiao Dulang had nothing to say, but since Last year, when the first emperor passed away, Lin Yulan changed after Jingchuan Hou and his wife died. After Lin Yuqing was questioned this year, Lin Yulan completely lost her former princely appearance.

Xiao Mulang said indifferently: "Little brother has someone surnamed Lin in his heart, how could he come back?"

Xiao Dulang was dissatisfied: "What's so good about that guy?"

Xiao Mulang stopped in his tracks and stood with his hands behind his back.

"...Brother?"

Xiao Mulang let out a long breath, "We can't live for the little brother, you have to understand."

Xiao Dulang was silent for a long time before he said in a muffled voice: "Then we don't care what the surname Lin wants? And let the younger brother go back to sell the house that the mother picked for the younger brother?"

"Of course not." Xiao Mulang snorted coldly, with a chill in his words.

Xiao Dulang cheered up and said, "Brother, tell me, what should we do?"

Xiao Mulang sneered: "I'm here waiting for Lin to come. If he doesn't come, then I don't have to go!"

"..." After a while, Xiao Dulang clapped his hands and said, "Good idea!"

When Xiao Yunlang got up in the evening, the maid Qing Wu brought him a bowl of rice porridge and two stacks of green vegetables, and said with a smile: "The young master ordered you to prepare a light meal, do you like it?"

"These are very good," Xiao Yunlang stretched out his hand, asked another maid to apply medicine on his hand, and asked, "Where are the eldest brother and second brother?"

"The Eldest Young Master has been in the study, and the Second Young Master has returned to his yard."

Xiao Yunlang sat by the bed, waiting for Qingwu to feed him, he looked at his hands and said: "When will this medicine be applied?"

Qing Wu said: "The doctor said it will take at least seven or eight days."

Xiao Yunlang sighed softly, while drinking the porridge, he secretly worried that Lin Yulan didn't know how to live alone at home. Lin Yulan was weak this year, and in the past 20 years, she had been pampered and had never been in the kitchen. Look, he has learned a little bit, and he has never done the rest of the housework... The Li family should stop making troubles. I hope Brother Zuo and his wife will remember to take care of their neighbors so that they don't starve to death...

Xiao Yunlang finished his porridge and was about to go out for a walk to digest his food. Qingwu said: "Young master, it's very cold outside, just now the eldest master asked Sister Bining to send some woolen clothes."

Xiao Yunlang's heart warmed, and he saw Qingwu come out holding some clothes and asked him to choose them. Xiao Yunlang sat on the chair, his nose became sore again. He looked around and saw that the room he used to live in hadn't changed in the past few years. However, the stove was burning hot, and the girl picked some plum blossoms from outside and put them in a white porcelain long-necked vase. There was a comfortable woolen blanket in the bedroom, and a pair of sandals on his feet were embroidered with exquisite cloud patterns. On the back of the chair, I looked down at my feet and at my hands covered with ointment. Qingwu saw him lost in thought, went to pick out a white fox fur, and sighed: "It seems to be a bit big for me, I will go tomorrow The embroidering workshop asked my mother to make it smaller for you to wear...you can try this little jacket."

Xiao Yunlang nodded, put on his elder brother's sable fur jacket, Qing Wu asked: "Where are we going?"

"Go to the yard next door to see what the second brother is doing."

Qingwu smiled and said: "Hey."

Xiao Dulang lives in Lanyuan, which is much larger than Meiyuan, but it is not as exquisite as Meiyuan. Xiao Yunlang walked into the courtyard, but before he saw anyone, he suddenly heard someone outside the door saying loudly: "The master is back home—"

Xiao Yunlang was taken aback. Hearing the voice, Xiao Dulang came out of his room in a hurry. He watched Xiao Yunlang stop and said, "Brother probably sent someone to tell Dad that you were back, and Dad drove away from Xishan Camp. came back."

Xiao Yunlang nodded, his heart beating continuously.

Xiao Dulang knocked on his head and said, "Let's go to the main courtyard together."

"……Um."

When the two brothers arrived, Xiao Yuan was standing in front of Xiao Su with her daughter in his arms. Xiao Su hadn't changed his armor yet. Xiao Dulang gave Xiao Yunlang a slight push. Xiao Yunlang stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Father."

Xiao Su looked at him, and gave an expressionless "hmm".

Xiao Ling'er had just had dinner and fell asleep, so little Yuan touched her daughter's face and said with a smile: "Look at you two, it's rare to see each other on weekdays, but you have nothing to say when you see each other."

Xiao Yunlang lowered his head, not daring to look at Xiao Su.

Xiao Su took over his daughter, and after being slapped mercilessly by Xiao Ling'er, he said helplessly, "Both of you, go back first."

Xiao Yuan smiled and took her daughter away.

Xiao Mulang walked in slowly at this moment, stretched out his hand to tease Xiao Ling'er, Xiao Ling'er immediately flattened her mouth, looking like she was about to cry, Xiao Yuan said angrily, "Young Master, stop teasing our girl."

Xiao Mulang smiled lightly, shook his head, and walked in front of Xiao Su.

The room was very quiet for a while, Xiao Su got up to change clothes, Xiao Yunlang was still standing there, his eyes were blank, Xiao Dulang comforted him: "Father won't beat you, what are you afraid of?"

Xiao Yunlang looked at him with a frown, Xiao Dulang hurriedly said: "I know, Dad has never done anything to you."

Xiao Yunlang glanced carefully at Xiao Mulang, Xiao Mulang said with a half-smile, "Why, I don't know what to say at this time? I knew what I was doing?"

Xiao Dulang complained: "Brother, don't talk about younger brother."

Xiao Mulang glanced at him and said, "Did I say so?"

Xiao Dulang wanted to say something else, but Xiao Su had already walked out, and still sat down without saying a word, Xiao Yunlang took the tea from the servant girl, stepped forward and said, "Father, you drink tea."

"Ah."

Xiao Su looked even colder, and Xiao Yunlang didn't know what to do, so Xiao Mulang said slowly: "Father, why are you back so late?"

"There is nothing wrong with the army." Xiao Su said.

Xiao Mulang pointed to Xiao Yunlang and said, "Something happened to the little brother's family, so the second brother brought him back."

Sure enough, Xiao Su's expression changed upon hearing this, and he asked, "What happened?"

Xiao Su's voice was cold and harsh, Xiao Yunlang trembled in fright, Xiao Dulang didn't dare to speak, only Xiao Mulang said without changing his expression: "Father, my little brother is going to sell my mother's small house in the suburbs of Beijing to some relative of the Li family. When the second brother went, he was just in time for the Li family to make trouble."

Xiao Su looked at Xiao Yunlang with a livid face and said, "Is that so?"

"……Yes."

After a while, Xiao Su said slowly: "Okay! That's great! You are really my good son, Xiao Su!"

Xiao Yunlang immediately knelt down and said in a panic, "Father, don't be angry with me, I really have no other choice..."

"There is no other way? Do you think Jinjiang Bofu is dead? Tell me, will your brothers watch?! Or..." Xiao Su closed his eyes in pain, "Or I will watch You suffer?!"

Xiao Yunlang looked at his father, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, choked up and said, "I was wrong, Daddy, don't be mad at me." He walked forward on his knees, hugged Xiao Su's legs and cried, "Don't give birth to me I was so angry, I knew I was wrong."

Xiao Su looked at him and sighed, "How can you tell me to explain to your mother who died early?"
