ordinary people's house

Xiao Yunlang looked at the Shuling in surprise. He was young and had a shy face. Huang Linger looked at him in panic and screamed: "You are lying! I have never seen you!"

Zhou Muzhou shook his head and sighed: "About the beginning of February, Uncle Wu, the head of the village, invited me to stay and prepared meals for me. I am very grateful. In the end... girl, you forgot me, but I didn't forget you. Hey, I was so scared that I took my book boy and ran away overnight."

Xiao Dulang sneered and said, "So that Master Juren is you."

Zhou Muzhou smiled embarrassingly, Li Xiangmin gave him a gloomy look, and said coldly to Xiao Dulang: "Even so, you have no evidence that you haven't touched her."

At this time Qiu Shaoyue finally couldn't help it and said: "Master Li, according to the officials, this woman's behavior is not good. You can see her mother is skinny, but this woman is pampered. Her words, the officials don't think it is credible."

Only then did Mrs. Huang remember who Zhou Muzhou was, her eyes burst into light, she nodded hastily and said, "It's him, I remember him! When he came to our Zhuangzi, I told Ling'er that the master Juren looked at him. She was destined to be an official, so Ling'er listened to me and went to look for him in the middle of the night."

Zhou Muzhou, who said "you can be an official if you look at it", smiled embarrassingly, but Huang Linger had already collapsed powerlessly on the ground. As soon as Mrs. Huang's words came out, Huang Linger sneered: "You are really my wife!" Mother, you have driven me to death again and again."

Sister-in-law Huang gave a strange laugh, and said triumphantly, "I told you not to support me, and even told someone to beat me out. You goddamn little whore, this is all your retribution."

Huang Ling'er looked at her with hatred. At first, she also thought that her mother was doing it for her own good, and she didn't want her to find someone with mud legs to marry. Later, when she was driven out of the village, she realized that her body was broken by others, and her name The festival is gone, the child was beaten and kicked out, all of this was caused by her mother, if she hadn't instigated it, how could she do those ugly things again and again?

After she came to Beijing, she found a chance to run away with the money, met a man, and built him a foreign house. She was no longer an old woman, so she simply told the man about the matter, but the man was very happy and took her away. Protected and told her to sue Xiao Dulang.Huang Ling'er has lived in Zhuangzi all her life, and all she knows about a good life is having good food, being served by a little maid, and being able to wear silk clothes, there is no difference between the uncle's mansion and that small house, the man said that it doesn't matter Whether the matter is successful or not, she will be well-clothed and well-fed for the rest of her life...

Sister-in-law Huang was still cursing, Huang Linger sneered and said, "If it weren't for you, I might have married innocently a long time ago, and you still think that I will raise you, are you dreaming?"

Sister-in-law Huang seemed to have her throat pinched, and she couldn't speak a word.

Li Xiangmin said with a livid face, "Put this woman in prison!"

Huang Ling'er was held back by two officials. She didn't know where her previous weakness had gone, and her face suddenly turned ferocious, "It's you who caused me! You call me a whore? You are the whore. My father is dead. You Just seduce men indiscriminately, and even instigate me to seduce people too! You tell me that I can live a good life, bah, it's you who can live a good life!"

Xiao Yunlang sighed deeply, and Huang Ling'er broke free from the official post all at once, and rushed towards Sister-in-law Huang, who was still being held down, and only yelled in fright, Huang Ling'er was quickly held down, and Sister-in-law Huang Then he straightened his neck and said, "I've never heard of a girl who refuses to recognize her mother, you rebellious and unfilial thing."

Seeing that Huang Ling'er was about to be taken away, Xiao Su who had not spoken all this time suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

In the hall of the Ministry of Punishment, there is no one whose status is comparable to Xiao Su, Li Xiangmin said with a grim expression, "What advice can I give you if you dare to be General Xiao?"

Xiao Su pointed to the woman who was still entangled with her biological mother and said: "Master Li, is she only allowed to frame my son, and our Xiao family is not allowed to ask who is behind this girl?"

Li Xiangmin said: "I will try it myself in the future."

Xiao Su didn't speak, Xiao Mulang said with a smile: "Since there is a trial after all, what's the difference between today and another day?"

Li Xiangmin was silent for a while, Qiu Shaoyue said: "Master Xiao said, Master Li, it's still early, why don't you ask again?"

Although Li Xiangmin has a high official position, he can't control the people in Dali Temple. He looked around in displeasure, and could only ask, "Daughter of the Huang family, did you hear what General Xiao said?"

Huang Ling'er didn't say a word.

Li Xiangmin's face darkened again, and he said coldly: "Do you have to wait until the execution to confess?"

Xiao Yunlang gradually felt bored, Xiao Mulang glanced sideways at him, and said with a smile: "There's nothing else to do now, it's okay if you go first."

Xiao Yunlang said: "I won't keep it..." He glanced at Mrs. Huang, and quietly left the hall.

At this time, Xiao Yunlang's tea shop was the most prosperous, and many people wanted to prepare tea as New Year's goods. When Xiao Yunlang arrived at the shop, Lin Yulan was also helping. He walked over and said with a smile: "There are a lot of people today."

Lin Yulan glanced at him and asked, "How's it going over there?"

Xiao Yunlang sighed softly, and told the story, Lin Yulan said flatly: "That woman is also right, she is not too old, she was encouraged by her mother to do wrong things, but later she made mistakes again and again. wrong."

Xiao Yunlang nodded and said: "Even if there is hatred, she can't kill her biological mother. I think their mother and daughter have suffered retribution... At first I also felt that the woman was at fault in this matter, and Wu Da is not a good person. , but after all, his father has worked for the Xiao family for most of his life, and now this person does not know whether he is alive or dead."

Lin Yulan thought for a while, and said, "I remember that my eldest brother and my father-in-law were discussing the person behind Huang Linger a few days ago, and my second cousin also felt that this was for the emperor. Otherwise, why did I bring you and my eldest brother along?"

Xiao Yunlang was silent for a while, and said: "After all, the time when the emperor ascended the throne was still too short. As soon as he made any moves, some people said that the previous emperor's filial piety period had not passed. It was unfilial for the emperor to change his course. , After the new year, the emperor can finally let go."

Lin Yulan clapped her hands, cleaned up the tea leaves on her hands, walked into the inner room with Xiao Yunlang, poured a cup of hot tea for Xiao Yunlang, and said: "I went out a few days ago, and vaguely knew what happened in the past one or two years. It has little connection with the second prince, King Qi, and the third prince, King Qin."

Xiao Yunlang knew that Lin Yulan was still working for the emperor and elder brother in secret, and he already had a team in his hand. He just didn't ask questions often. After hearing Lin Yulan finished speaking, Xiao Yunlang said: "After the third prince was born, the previous emperor gave birth to many princesses one after another. Now the oldest fourth prince is only 14 years old, the fifth prince is 13 years old, and the youngest prince is only five years old, these princes have not even been conferred titles."

Lin Yulan said: "But their mother has a family behind them, and they run their own business in the palace."

Xiao Yunlang said helplessly: "Even so, those children are afraid that they don't understand anything, so they will be charged with treason."

Lin Yulan said indifferently: "It was chosen by their mother."

"……Um."

After a while, Xiao Yunlang said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it's almost Chinese New Year, and it's really unlucky to enter the lobby of the Ministry of Justice. Although we won't post red this year, since it's the last year, we shouldn't continue to be so blue and white. Go prepare some bright materials, decorate the house, and make new clothes for the girls and servants."

Lin Yulan smiled and said, "Okay."

This year, Yuan Ruheng was the only one in the Yuan family in Beijing, so Xiao Su asked him to go to Jinjiang Bofu to celebrate the New Year, and Yuan Ruheng readily agreed. Zhu Xian in the palace thought about it, and Yuan Ruheng's name was added to the banquet on the first day of the new year. Tell the capital that the Yuan family is back!

Ever since he turned [-], Xiao Yunlang felt that he never touched the ground all day, but he was very busy. Xiao Yunlang also said to Lin Yulan, "I didn't feel that way last year, but now I think that tomorrow we will be much better than this year."

Lin Yulan stopped going out to work, and stayed at home with Xiao Yunlang's work. Sometimes Xiao Yunlang felt that he was making trouble and forbade him to move, so Lin Yulan moved a stool and watched him.

Xiao Yunlang didn't go to the Jinjiang Mansion for a few days, but Uber sent someone to tell him that Huang Ling'er was very stubborn and didn't say anything now, and was only detained in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. As for Mrs. Something bad happened a year ago, and she was taken in. It's just that she fell to the root of her illness and died in February.

On the 29th day, Xiao Yunlang prepared the things for the next day early. The new clothes were put on the bedside, and some red envelopes for the servants were also prepared. The cook, Mrs. Fang, was going home for the New Year, and Xiao Yunlang and a few girls were still eating. We prepared it together. He hasn't cooked in the past few months, so he feels that his hands are a little rusty.

In the evening, Xiao Yunlang looked at the cleaned house and said with satisfaction: "That's great, when we hang up red lanterns next year, it will be more meaningful to celebrate the New Year."

Lin Yulan followed his gaze to look around, nodded, and said with a smile: "When the weather warms up next year, I will go out with you to play."

"Okay." Xiao Yunlang looked over with a smile, and the two looked at each other, as if they had met each other for the first time.

In the blink of an eye, it was thirty nights, and every household set off firecrackers, and the neighbor Zuo's house also set up a few hangings. Since the incident at the other house, no one lived in the east, and the Wanjia was still quiet when the lights were on. If it is rented out, it is really better to buy it as soon as possible, to open up the two houses, or to talk to Brother Zuo when he comes to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow, and see if we can negotiate the price with the owner.

Xiao Yunlang drank a few glasses of wine, became a little excited again, dragged Lin Yulan to watch the fireworks in the yard, stomped his feet in the cold, but refused to go back to the house, so Lin Yulan had to accompany him.

In the early morning of New Year's Day, Xiao Yunlang woke up with great difficulty. Lin Yulan was still asleep. Xiao Yunlang smiled, moved under the quilt, lay down on Lin Yulan's body, and pecked him on the lips.

Lin Yulan was awakened by the pressure, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Yunlang smiling at him.

Lin Yulan turned over, pressed the person under her body, put her hands on Xiao Yunlang's ears, looked at him tenderly, Xiao Yunlang suddenly blushed, and pushed him, "Get up, someone will come later."

"Ah."

Lin Yulan agreed, but didn't move, slowly leaned down, and kissed Xiao Yunlang's slightly parted lips. After a while, the two of you looked at each other and I looked at you, and quickly separated. Xiao Yunlang lay on the bed and laughed loudly. It took a long time before I put on my clothes, and went out with the red envelopes I had prepared.
