ordinary people's house

When Xiao Yunlang went to pay his respects to Little Yuan, she had just put her daughter to sleep, she said softly: "I saw the material you brought back, it can be used to make summer clothes, thank you so much."

"I don't know how to choose, and I'm afraid I'll buy the wrong one."

"That silver one can make linings for your father and brothers."

"When will father and second brother come back?"

Little Yuan thought for a while and said, "Your second brother will probably be back tomorrow. I don't know if your father just left."

Xiao Yunlang hesitated and said: "Mother, I actually want to tell my father that Yulan and I should go home and live."

Xiao Yuan frowned: "Why, someone neglected you?"

"Of course not, it's just my mother. Although it's small, it's Yulan and I's home. I'm going to open a shop now, and it's inconvenient to go in and out of the Bo's house...We will come back and live here often."

"I know what you mean," Little Yuan smiled, "You're not at home for a while, I'll take you to Su'an Duke's Mansion some other day, it's almost repaired."

"is it?"

"It's just not easy to decorate the room, and the little girl, even though I bought everything, is just trained, and it doesn't take a day or two."

Xiao Yunlang said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's only summer now, at least it will be next spring when my grandmother comes back."

"Well, their men are too busy to see anyone again. After I make a list, you will have to help me watch over the purchase of utensils."

"Okay." Xiao Yunlang agreed happily.

After Xiao Mulang returned home, Xiao Yunlang told him that he wanted to go to the horse farm in Xishan Daying to see his horses. Xiao Mulang said casually, "You can follow me in the morning."

"I see, brother, you go to the palace, has the emperor sent you any errands recently?"

Xiao Mulang smiled and said, "Not really, what's the matter?"

"I see that you are too tired, brother. You haven't rested for a few days since the end of the year. If there is nothing important, you should rest for a few days."

"Ok, I know."

Xiao Mulang thought that the younger brother would ask him about Lin Yulan, but after a few words with him, Xiao Yunlang said that he was going back. Xiao Mulang thought for a moment, then called him back and said, "You already know everything about Lin Yulan?"

"……Um."

"Don't you have anything to say?"

Xiao Yunlang sighed softly, and smiled helplessly: "I really have nothing to say. When I was in Jiangnan, Brother Wang also asked me. At the beginning, I really didn't want Yulan to be involved in those things again. His status is embarrassing. One wrong step will lead to an abyss, but I am a descendant of the Xiao family, I know how much our Xiao family has done to protect the emperor these years, how can I hold back my brother?"

Xiao Mulang said with a faint smile: "Even now, the Xiao family should be more cautious. The emperor's status is not stable. There are so many people who want to pull him down. Our Xiao family is the sword in the emperor's hands. There are many people who want to break the emperor's arm first." , Yunlang, I will guarantee Lin Yulan's safety."

"I believe in big brother, and I believe in him too." Xiao Yunlang frowned, and said a little uneasy, "Big brother, is someone really starting to target the Xiao family now?"

"We have to guard."

There are currently three battalions in the capital, and the Xishan Daying Camp is the elite division directly under the emperor, with the smallest number, and is used to defend the capital.The current commander of the Fifth Army Battalion is Wu Ding Hou Wu Qingshan, and the [-] Battalion is full of cavalry, which can be transferred to various places for assistance at any time.And on the northern and southern frontiers, there are countless military generals who are dedicated to their duties, and there are many veterans like Yuan Shenyan, the grandfather of the Xiao brothers, who have fought on the battlefield all their lives.

Xiao Yunlang didn't know where he was thinking, and said unhappily: "Actually, it's not only the emperor, the late emperor also favored military generals. Except for the fact that Xiao's family was favored by the prince and was feared by the late emperor, the Wu family, the Lin family and the grandfather's family were all in the late emperor's heart. About Those civil officials were severely suppressed by the late emperor. When the emperor's foundation was unstable, they tried in vain to change the emperor's thinking, telling the emperor to pay more attention to civil officials from now on. Our Dayu is the world that is about to fight, and it is normal for emperors to attach importance to force. You can seize the imperial power by playing tricks, and no one wants to fight and kill."

Xiao Mulang laughed and didn't say much.

After a while Xiao Yunlang also said: "However, all dynasties and dynasties have governed the country with Confucian classics, but our Dayu has Tatars in the north and Japanese pirates in the east, so it won't work if no one guards them."

Xiao Mulang rubbed his head and said: "Don't think so much, go back and have a good rest, and tell the kitchen what you want to eat."

"it is good."

Xiao Yunlang and Uber discussed about finding a time to open the business, Uber smiled and said: "It just so happens that Grandma Du from Young Master Yan's family often comes to talk to his wife these days, and sometimes Miss Lan also comes with her, those people recommended by Young Master Yan It's all good, young master can meet you sometime."

Xiao Yunlang nodded and said: "I see, Brother Yan said a few months ago that I can ask his subordinates for help if I have something to do, but something happened in the south and it is useless. Be careful, I have nothing to worry about."

Uber laughed and said: "I have also seen clearly in the past few days, Master Yan intends to ask his wife to be a matchmaker for Miss Lan."

Xiao Yunlang no longer remembered the appearance of his cousin, he just smiled and said: "If it happens, it will be a happy event, mother agrees?"

"I don't know much about that."

Xiao Yunlang thought about it carefully, and said thoughtfully: "I see what Brother Yan means, is he wants to marry his younger sister to the Yuan family? Which concubine's uncle or concubine's cousin did my cousin take a fancy to?"

You Bo didn't care and said: "His grandfather was originally a concubine from our family. Now that one of them has no official position, so what if they have money? I don't think it is likely to be a few uncles from concubine. It's a bit chaotic, if it's not a few concubine young masters, or someone else."

"That's right, cousin Yan doesn't know clearly. There is a big difference between the descendants of the Yuan family and the descendants of the concubine, and the relationship is not harmonious. It's better that I think too much. My mother also has contacts with many wives in Beijing. It can't be said that it is from another family. What about future generations?"

Uber smiled and said: "Young master, you just came back, what are you thinking about so much, what do you want to eat, I will ask someone to prepare it for you."

Xiao Yunlang said with a smile: "I still feel a little tired, just order some simple food in the kitchen."

"Okay, I'll ask someone to prepare."

"Thank you Uber."

Xiao Yunlang was not enough to eat and drink enough, so he lay on the bed and asked the little girl to press his shoulders, and he began to feel drowsy again. Xiao Yunlang sat up and looked at Lin Yulan, puzzled, and said, "It's been such a long journey, why don't you Are you tired?"

Lin Yulan smiled, but did not speak.

"Come here, I have something to tell you."

"Ah."

Lin Yulan sat down by the bed, Xiao Yunlang said: "I told my mother, when the shop opens, we will go home and live."

"it is good."

The room was lined with ice to keep the heat out. Lin Yulan glanced at it, and couldn't help worrying that Xiao Yunlang couldn't bear it in such a hot day.

Xiao Yunlang followed his gaze and said with a smile: "When the shop is open, it may be autumn already. As for next year, we will definitely be rich, and we will buy ice for our own use."

Lin Yulan embraced Xiao Yunlang in her arms, and heard some trivial words from Xiao Yunlang, "Let's not hurry, and I don't want to run around in hot weather, let's wait another month, um, send those good tea leaves around, uncle's house There are few people, there is not much drinking, and there is Yongcheng Houfu. I don’t know how Zong’er is. I don’t know if I can see him tomorrow. I guess he must be black. I don’t know if the big sister will show him What kind of family..."

Xiao Yunlang talked for a long time, until his upper and lower eyelids began to fight, he still hugged Lin Yulan's waist, Lin Yulan said helplessly, "I'll be back in a while."

"Ah."

Lin Yulan rinsed off quickly, then went back to hug Xiao Yunlang to sleep.

On the second day, the husband and wife followed Xiao Mulang to Xishan Daying on horseback. Xiao Yunlang hadn't ridden a horse for many years, but his posture was still strong, and he didn't lose face to the Xiao family. Xiao Mulang was afraid that he would be too hot, so he insisted on asking him to ride a car. , Xiao Yunlang dissatisfied: "I learned to ride a horse many years ago, don't you worry about me? I'm not Miss Jiao from some family, and the sun won't melt me."

"This road is open, I'm afraid you will feel uncomfortable."

"It's okay, it's still early, maybe we'll be there soon."

Seeing that he was not convinced, Xiao Mulang could only say: "Okay, if you feel uncomfortable, don't hide it."

"I see."

After waiting for a while, they arrived at Xishan Mountain, Xiao Yunlang forced himself to get off his horse, and secretly said to Lin Yulan, "Help me a bit, don't let elder brother see."

"what happened?"

"I'm really dizzy, hey, it's okay, we'll walk behind."

"……it is good."

At this time, Xiao Su was in the general's tent, Xiao Yunlang and Lin Yulan went there directly, Xiao Su was surprised: "Are you back?"

"Father, we arrived yesterday."

Xiao Su smiled, and asked his subordinates to pour them a glass of water to drink. Xiao Yunlang held the water glass and said, "I'll come and see my second brother and you. I also want to take my Bu Jing back."

"Bu Jing is well raised here, but I'm afraid that some people don't know you."

Xiao Yunlang said helplessly: "I know I was wrong, and I didn't want to part with it at the time, but I didn't want to wrong it when I went to Lin's house, and I didn't want it to be wronged. It will only be wronged in the downtown area in the future, but now I need it so much, hey... I will accompany it well. Not one."

Xiao Su couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Forget it, you can go find your second brother."

"it is good."

Xiao Su was in the tent, but Xiao Dulang looked at the recruits under the scorching sun. He had to carefully consider each of them. These people would take on the responsibility of guarding the capital. , Xiao Yunlang was stunned for a moment, his brothers never wore thick armor at home, he was really afraid of getting dizzy in such a hot weather.

Xiao Dulang was very happy to see him, and he sighed after hearing his words: "It's like this every year, I've gotten over it a long time ago, it's not the hottest time yet, after daily practice, everyone's clothes are sweaty, It was like dumpling in the river over there, 'Plop' and 'Plop' jumped down one by one."

Xiao Yunlang imagined that scene, and said with a smile: "I feel hot even when I don't wear much clothes."

Xiao Dulang thought about it, and said: "I have some good food today, I will make some for you later."

"Is it?"

Xiao Dulang nodded solemnly, "Second brother can't accompany you now, I'll ask someone to accompany you to the racecourse, there are good dishes at noon and evening."

Xiao Yunlang took Lin Yulan to the racecourse, looked at Bujing, he was completely white, with smooth mane, Xiao Yunlang said reminiscently: "Bujing was raised by me."

Lin Yulan praised: "It's a good horse."

"Well, now it's yours!"

"mine?"

Xiao Yunlang said seriously: "I gave it to you. We used to use horses from the uncle's mansion, um... Although Bujing also came from the uncle's mansion, it belonged to me. When we go back to live in the future, we must have our own horses What's more, you often have to go out, and there are far away places, and you can't do it without a horse."

Lin Yulan touched Bujing silently, Xiao Yunlang said with a smile: "You try to ride, the horse farm is big here, you can run away."

"it is good."

Bu Jing has a docile personality, Lin Yulan only got used to it for a while, then rode it around the racecourse for a few laps, after a while he came back on horseback, Xiao Yunlang smiled and said, "We'll take Bu Jing back tonight, I'm hungry, how about we go?" Let's eat and see what's delicious."
