ordinary people's house

"I..." Xiao Yunlang raised his eyes to look at Xiao Su, feeling sad and regretful, he felt that he should not touch the idea of ​​selling the house, he looked at the pained look in his father's eyes, he didn't know what to say, Xiao Dulang finally couldn't help but came over Said: "Father, you haven't eaten yet, neither has my little brother."

Xiao Su stretched out his hand, stroked Xiao Yunlang's temples, and sighed: "You always worry me."

Xiao Yunlang had drank a bowl of porridge before, but now he was hungry again with Xiao Su, Xiao Su had to look at him after a few mouthfuls, Xiao Yunlang lowered his head, his face felt burning, he got up and took a piece of wine lees and duck and put it on the table. In Xiao Su's bowl, Xiao Su nodded, and said exactly the same words as Xiao Mulang: "Since you're here, why don't you leave after the New Year."

Xiao Yunlang didn't dare to refute directly, so he went to see his two elder brothers, Xiao Mulang smiled and said nothing, while Xiao Dulang said happily: "Father is right, my hands don't feel comfortable, don't touch cold water, it's best at home."

Xiao Su looked at Xiao Yunlang's hands again, and said seriously: "If you freeze your hands for a year, it will be the root of the disease for a lifetime."

"……I see."

Xiao Yunlang was thinking about Lin Yulan, but he didn't dare to mention it at this moment. Xiao Su finished his meal, and after the three brothers left, Xiao Yunlang begged, "I really have to go back and see, Yulan will starve to death." So strong, even if the Zuo family came to ask him to eat, he would not go, Xiao Yunlang just remembered that he did not leave him a few taels of silver.

Xiao Mulang said leisurely: "Since you miss him, why don't you call him over."

"..." Xiao Yunlang hesitated for a while, then murmured, "Forget it."

Xiao Mulang said earnestly: "Don't worry about him, the uncle's house has a lot of yards, you ask him to come and live, and you will go back together until spring."

Xiao Yunlang said in a low voice: "He won't come."

"Why doesn't he come?"

Xiao Yunlang was silent.

Xiao Yunlang said indifferently: "Since he always loses face and he can't do anything for you, why do you always accommodate him?"

Xiao Yunlang said in embarrassment: "Brother, stop talking..."

Xiao Dulang said: "Brother, don't talk about it, the one surnamed Lin is very difficult to play with."

Xiao Mulang gave a "hmm" and walked to his own yard, and he went in directly.

The two brothers continued to walk, Xiao Yunlang lowered his head, Xiao Dulang sighed: "Don't blame the elder brother for being straightforward, the elder brother loves you too."

"I know."

"Father is back, he definitely can't watch you sell the house, have you thought about how to live in the future?"

"I..." If there were other ways, he would not have thought of that.

"So," Xiao Dulang patted him on the shoulder, "Father and elder brother are waiting for the person surnamed Lin to come. When the person surnamed Lin arrives and father and elder brother are satisfied, they can let you go with confidence."

"Yes, I see." Xiao Yunlang nodded.

After Xiao Su returned home, the Xiao family became lively. Waves of birthday presents were sent to those who could get involved inside and outside the capital, and those who desperately wanted to get involved. Xiao Dulang cheerfully called Xiao Yunlang to the warehouse, and secretly told him that Take away any good ones.

Xiao Yunlang went with him dumbfounded. There are indeed some good things here. Xiao Dulang held a few paintings of Wen Daozi from the previous dynasty to look at them. Xiao Yunlang leaned over to take a look and said, "It's fake."

"what?"

Xiao Yunlang said: "Things that have been around for a hundred years, the paper looks correct, and the inscriptions and postscripts of the writers are also correct. It must be someone who looked at the painting and copied it back then."

Xiao Dulang said dissatisfied: "Maybe it's true."

Xiao Yunlang took a closer look, and said: "No matter how good it is, it's not true. Look at the scenery, it's too calm. Master Wen's painting is a word of 'fast'. He has a scene in his heart, and his hands are like flying. He painted It's like the snowflakes are still moving."

Xiao Dulang nodded and went to look at other things, Xiao Yunlang suddenly said: "Second brother, the family is so busy now, can I go home? I'll be back before night."

Xiao Dulang said dissatisfied: "You have to go back and see that Lin..."

Xiao Yunlang pleaded: "I won't go back to live, I'll just visit him, you stay with me, we'll leave in a while."

Xiao Dulang hated him the most, thought for a while and said, "That's okay, what about elder brother and father? Do you want to tell them?"

Xiao Yunlang hesitated for a while, then said: "Forget it first, brother and father are both busy."

"I'm going to lead the carriage, and you go change into thick clothes."

"Hey."

The two brothers got into the car and went out through the back door. Neither of them knew that they had been reported to Xiao Mulang by his subordinates as soon as they went to the stable. Xiao Mulang smiled lightly: "Tell them to go."

The carriage turned into the alley, Xiao Yunlang couldn't help but lift the curtain to look around, Xiao Dulang said dissatisfiedly, "Isn't it almost here?"

Xiao Yunlang smiled embarrassedly, and when the carriage walked slowly to his door, Xiao Dulang got out of the carriage first, stretched out his hand to support Xiao Yunlang, Xiao Yunlang heard someone say: "Hey, little brother Xiao..."

Xiao Dulang glared at him, and the man quickly fell silent.

Xiao Yunlang smiled and said, "Brother Zuo, why haven't you gone to the shop so late?"

Brother Zuo sneered and said, "No hurry, no hurry."

Xiao Yunlang said: "I'll talk to you at your house some other day."

Brother Zuo nodded and said, "Hey, you are busy, you are busy."

Xiao Yunlang smiled, and took Xiao Dulang away, Big Brother Zuo looked at their backs, and pressed his inferences, Brother Xiao changed his clothes today, his whole person is different, he really came from a rich family, there is such a thing With such a powerful backer, how did he get to the point where he wanted to sell the house at such a low price?No matter what, as long as they don't move away, I can't offend others.

Xiao Dulang followed Xiao Yunlang to open the door and went in. Xiao Yunlang saw Lin Yulan in the yard not knowing what to do, Xiao Dulang frowned and said, "Is he stupid?"

Xiao Yunlang looked at him dissatisfied, and Xiao Dulang stopped talking. Xiao Yunlang walked to the front and saw Lin Yulan holding a plane with several neat logs beside him.

Xiao Yunlang was stunned for a moment, and understood what Lin Yulan was doing.

When it was still cold, the bamboo stool he used to sit on in the yard was smashed by those people.

Xiao Yunlang was stupefied all of a sudden, not knowing what to say, Lin Yulan put the things aside, stood up and looked at him.

Husband and wife, you look at me, I look at you, completely forgetting Xiao Dulang aside, Xiao Dulang coughed and no one paid attention to him, he couldn't help but angrily said: "I'm still here!"

"Hey, second brother." Xiao Yunlang reacted.

Lin Yulan looked at Xiao Dulang coldly, made Xiao Dulang angry, and walked over angrily, yesterday he wanted to fight with this person, so he held back for the sake of my younger brother, today he is like this Find a fight!Xiao Yunlang hurriedly stopped him and said, "Second brother, go into the house, I'll pour you some water."

Xiao Dulang stopped and looked at them with dissatisfaction, pointed at Lin Yulan and said, "Tell him to fall!"

Xiao Yunlang looked at Lin Yulan, Lin Yulan put her hand on his shoulder, ignored Xiao Dulang, Xiao Yunlang sighed softly, "Go, have you boiled hot water?"

Lin Yulan shook her head.

Xiao Yunlang walked into the kitchen suspiciously, and was stunned for a moment. There was a mess on the chopping board. The pot was dark and had a greasy smell. There was a piece of broken porcelain that had not been cleaned up. Xiao Yunlang stood there for a while, picking up one by one. Lin Yulan walked in slowly, and Xiao Yunlang asked, "Why didn't you go out to eat yesterday?"

Lin Yulan was silent and did not speak.

Xiao Dulang stood at the door frowning, and said with a cold snort, "It's the young master's order, come out, little brother, and tell him to clean up by himself."

Lin Yulan watched Xiao Yunlang lift the pot from the stove and was ready to take it out for brushing. He went forward to take the pot and went to the well to fetch water. The Zuo family asked him to have dinner yesterday, but he didn't want to leave the house. Lang didn't know when he would be back, he didn't bring the key, so he had to wait for him.

Xiao Yunlang washed his hands, Xiao Dulang stood with folded arms, and when Lin Yulan came over slowly, he snorted again, the two had disliked each other for many years, and Xiao Yunlang got used to it, so he boiled water to make tea, After putting it in front of the second brother, he came to Lin Yulan's side and said, "I have something to tell you."

Xiao Dulang glared dissatisfiedly, but Xiao Yunlang had already dragged Lin Yulan into the bedroom.

Lin Yulan didn't make the bed, Xiao Yunlang said casually: "It's a rare sunny day, you should take the quilt out to dry in the sun...Sister, I have something to tell you."

"Ah."

Xiao Yunlang looked up at him, and said: "My elder brother and my father mean to ask you to pick me up in person at the uncle's residence, otherwise I will stay in the uncle's residence forever." There was a bit of hope in his eyes, " Why don't you go early, I'll cook for you when I come back."

Lin Yulan looked at him, and suddenly said, "What's wrong with your hand?"

Xiao Yunlang took the medicine and it smelled like medicine on his hands. He didn't care and said: "It's cold water, it's not a problem, you..."

"You don't come back again."

Xiao Yunlang and Lin Yulan are the same age, but in the past four years, he feels that Lin Yulan is like his brothers, tall, brave, and will not be defeated, while he is a person who is used to hiding behind others. With them around, he doesn't have to worry .Even though he took care of Lin Yulan by himself for the past six months, Xiao Yunlang has the backbone in his heart. He is not afraid that the sky will collapse tomorrow. He knows that Lin Yulan will take over the burden of their small family from him sooner or later. No matter how tired or hard he is now, it doesn't matter .

Lin Yulan said seriously at this time: "Don't come back again."

Xiao Yunlang froze, looking at Lin Yulan in disbelief.

Lin Yulan looked away, and said lightly: "Isn't it better for you to stay in Xiao's house? In Xiao's house, your parents and elder brothers all take care of you and love you. You have someone to take care of you, so you don't have to worry about food and clothing. Why do you stay here and suffer with me? , I am nothing without the Jingchuan Hou Mansion, and the roadside peddlers can still earn enough to feed and clothe the family. I can do nothing but drink and get angry with you."

"...We can do it in the future," Xiao Yunlang's mind was already in a mess, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence, "Don't do this..."

"You go." Lin Yulan looked at him and said.

Xiao Yunlang stood there, looking at Lin Yulan motionless, Lin Yulan sighed softly, stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Yunlang's hanging hand and looked at it for a few moments, the ointment covered the rough imprint left on his hand in the past half a year, but Lin Yulan knew what it was originally Like that, he laughed at himself: "I'm useless, I rely on you to support me, where did you do these jobs before, wouldn't it be good to go back and be your pampered young master—"

Xiao Yunlang withdrew his hand and slapped him hard. After a crisp "slap", Lin Yulan held his wrist and said calmly, "Go back."

When the whispering voice suddenly stopped, Xiao Dulang put down his teacup and stood up, walked slowly to the door of the bedroom, and when he heard the movement, he kicked the door open, Xiao Yunlang looked at Lin Yulan indifferently, Lin Yulan's face was still There is a bright red palm print.

Xiao Dulang was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Your surname is Lin, what did you say?!"

Xiao Yunlang said in a low voice: "Second brother, let's go back."

Xiao Dulang walked directly in front of Lin Yulan, and said sharply, "You said something that shouldn't be said again!"

Lin Yulan said: "Take him away and don't come back."

"Bastard——" Xiao Dulang's anger rushed to his forehead, he clenched his fist and punched Lin Yulan's other intact face, and Lin Yulan fell to the ground.

Xiao Dulang's chest heaved violently, "You bastard! Do you think I don't want to take my younger brother away? If my younger brother wanted to leave, I would have left half a year ago! Why did he accompany you through half a year of hard life! My little brother wants Don’t make you feel uncomfortable, I don’t want any money from my elder brother! I don’t even have a decent dress in winter! You tell me to leave now, so what did you do before?!”

Xiao Yunlang grabbed him and begged, "Second Brother, stop talking, let's go."

"I must kill this bastard today!"

Xiao Yunlang hugged his waist and dragged him away, Xiao Dulang still yelled to himself: "You don't know what to do, why did my younger brother find such a worthless man like you..."

Lin Yulan slowly stood up from the ground, with a trace of blood still hanging from the corner of her lips, Xiao Yunlang looked back at him with sadness in his eyes.

Xiao Yunlang looked at Lin Yulan and said two words lightly.

Let's go.

Xiao Yunlang no longer wanted to ask why, and his heart calmed down, he turned around and said to Xiao Dulang: "Second brother, stop talking, let's go back."

Xiao Dulang said viciously: "It's better to go away! It will save you the trouble of meeting someone! Let's go, let's go home."

"……Um."

What Xiao Yunlang said kept echoing in Lin Yulan's mind, he said, "You can pick me up early, okay, I'll cook for you when I come back." From morning to night, Lin Yulan sat blankly on the chair in the bedroom, the light gradually blurred, Lin Yulan stood up only now when there was darkness in front of his eyes, his cheeks on both sides were painful, he remembered Xiao Yunlang's despairing eyes, and Xiao Dulang's angry scolding.

But how good would it be for him to go back and continue to be his young master of the uncle's mansion?You don't have to worry about your livelihood when you wake up early in the morning, you don't have to look at your face when it's good and bad, and you don't have to smile at all kinds of neighbors... He deserves to be pampered all his life.

Lin Yulan threw herself on the bed, Xiao Yunlang's words came to mind again, he said that today is a good day, he should dry the quilt...

Yunlang...
