ordinary people's house

With the Xiao family brothers present, even Du's grandson, Yuan Ruheng, stepped aside. The Ji family and Xianggong——Xiao Yunlang's uncle Yuan Shengyi and his eldest daughter Ziqi met each other, and each other felt a burst of emotion. Yuan Ziqi's husband and father-in-law Seeing the ceremony, she called a few more children to salute, Yuan Ziqi smiled and said: "We will be close in the future, and it is only a day's journey from Tianjin to Beijing. After a while, mother has settled down at home, and parents can just go to Wen's house to live for a while. "

General Wen also said: "The courtyard has been prepared in the mansion, just waiting for the father-in-law and mother-in-law to live in."

Ji wiped her tears and said: "Okay, okay, I'll go to Tianjin when there's nothing else to do here."

Yuan Shengyi was not good at words, he just patted his son-in-law on the shoulder and said, "Live a good life."

"Yes."

In the afternoon, the palace issued a reward. Yuan Shenyan took his family to thank him, and called Yuan Ruheng into the study alone, and asked him about the performance of the various houses after he entered Beijing, the most important thing was the emperor's attitude.

After Yuan Ruheng calmly finished his narration, he was silent for a while when talking about the emperor. Yuan Shenyan said seriously, "Is there any mistake?"

Yuan Ruheng said: "Grandson noticed...something is wrong."

Yuan Shenyan sat behind the desk, pondered for a moment, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yuan Ruheng took a deep breath and said, "Sun'er feels that the Emperor intends to change the status of the Yuan family."

At this moment, even Yuan Shenyan, who was as immobile as a mountain, frowned fiercely, "What's going on?" Seeing Yuan Ruheng, he wanted to speak casually again, and immediately said, "Let's talk after thinking it over!"

Yuan Ruheng paused, and said slowly: "He wants you to be the head of the country."

Yuan Shenyan: "..." He looked Yuan Ruheng up and down a few times, puzzled and said, "Is the emperor... has a crush on you?"

Yuan Ruheng nodded.

Yuan Shenyan was silent for a while, and asked, "Are you sure?"

Yuan Ruheng sighed: "A few days ago, my grandson asked my sister to find a marriage for me. For some reason, the emperor found out about it. Just the day before yesterday, the emperor asked my grandson to enter the palace, said a lot of things with a straight face, and reprimanded my grandson." G."

Yuan Shenyan's mind was in a mess, he waved his hands and said, "You go back first, I'll think about it."

"Yes."

After lunch, Mrs. Du started to visit the garden accompanied by her family. She didn't know what the grandpa and grandson were discussing over there. A group of young daughter-in-laws followed behind her, many of whom Xiao Yunlang didn't recognize. Northwest Na's concubine's room, but I didn't see it.

The eldest aunt Ji said with a smile: "The biological mother of Shi Lang and Shi Shi Niang is a woman from the Northwest."

"So it's like this..." Xiao Yunlang went to take a closer look at his little aunt and uncle.

When night fell, Xiao Yunlang wrapped his clothes and was about to leave, but Madam Du suddenly said: "Yunlang, stay here, I have something to tell you."

"Okay." Xiao Yunlang happily threw the clothes on Lin Yulan, and walked back to Madam Du's side. Lin Yulan was standing there, and Yuan Ruheng went over and said, "Brother-in-law, come and sit with me."

Lin Yulan nodded, Xiao Yunlang waved to him with a smile, and helped Madam Du go.

Xiao Yunlang accompanied Mrs. Du to the largest crabapple courtyard in the backyard. The older girl was leading the younger girls to pack up the cages. After Mrs. Du sat down, she asked someone to bring her own small box, and opened it in front of Xiao Yunlang. Xiao Yunlang leaned over to take a look, Madam Du said: "It's all for you."

Xiao Yunlang was stunned for a moment and said, "Why?"

Madam Du smiled and shook her head, "Just take it for you."

Xiao Yunlang pursed his lower lip, and said in a low voice: "Grandmother, I am really living well now, we have already discussed with the neighbor next door, we will buy the empty yard and open it up with our family, and we will also repair it in the big house in the future. The upper garden and pool are no worse than before. You are all rare treasures here, and I don't need them."

Mrs. Du said lightly: "I'm giving you these handed down things just because I know you're living a good life. You don't know that it's easy to build a house, but it's hard to find some treasures from the town house. Your father is Men are inevitably rough, your mother is young and can't think of this, but I am thinking about it, look at these night pearls, where can I buy them with money, they should be kept in the house and passed down from generation to generation. "

"That should also be left to the eldest cousin and second cousin, and cousin..."

Mrs. Du smiled and said: "Your grandmother lived most of her life, nothing else, there are still some of these ancient relics, you children have them, when your elder brother and second elder brother get married, and Ling'er grows up, grandma will have everything here." There is something that can be sold."

Xiao Yunlang was a little at a loss, the box contained not only a few luminous pearls, but also a pair of jade ruyis, a set of small celadon cups, and many other elegant small items.Mrs. Du also asked someone to bring some scrolls, which were masterpieces from some dynasty, and pushed them all to Xiao Yunlang.

Mrs. Du said again: "The ancients said that if you give it to the elders, you should not resign. You just keep it. Do you think this is just what I mean? Although your grandfather is not talkative, he understands it very well in his heart. Before we left Insinuating, saying that I want to give you some good things, the old thing is not willing to take out his own treasures, but he is willing to move other people's boxes."

Before Mrs. Du finished speaking, Xiao Yunlang heard his grandfather's dissatisfied voice behind the curtain, "Why am I not willing to take things out?"

Madam Du snorted coldly and said, "In that case, I'll see how you can bear it."

Yuan Shenyan came out with his hands behind his back, Xiao Yunlang lowered his head and smiled, and asked, "When did my grandfather come, I didn't even hear the sound."

Mrs. Du said: "He came a long time ago, his hands are empty, I'm sorry to see anyone."

Yuan Shenyan gave her a displeased look, then raised his head and said to Xiao Yunlang: "Outside the city gate today, I saw that although the surnamed Lin rode a good horse, he didn't have a good saddle to go with it..."

Mrs. Du interrupted him and said, "Oh, it turns out that you are a grandfather who sent someone with a pair of saddle bridles."

Yuan Shenyan paused for a moment, and continued: "Man, how can you not have a weapon at your fingertips? I gave him my Qingshuang as well."

Madam Du nodded this time and said, "That's quite plausible."

In the end, Xiao Yunlang hugged the things in his arms and went out to find Lin Yulan. The old couple were still arguing with each other. Xiao Yunlang looked down at the things in his arms, sighed, and said to himself, You are so lucky up.

Not long after Xiao Yunlang and Lin Yulan left Su'an Gongfu, the news that the old lady gave Xiao Yunlang the treasure that had been cherished for a long time spread throughout the mansion. Too much hatred, who doesn't think about the things the old lady has in hand, they are all surnamed Yuan, even if they are concubines, if they get one or two in the future, they will be able to settle down at home, that is a whole box!

Yuan Ba ​​went to Si Yiniang's side, gritted his teeth and told the story, Si Yiniang clapped her hands fiercely and said: "It's okay, the Duke doesn't care about it!"

Yuan Ba ​​said angrily: "Look, for so many years, how has my father ever taken care of my wife?"

Si Yiniang sneered and said: "Look at your fourth sister, she really is a white-eyed wolf! Come to the mansion today, and look at her uncle's wife's pomp, she crawled out of my intestines, I don't know her yet, let Madam spoil her After a few years, I don’t know east, west, north, south.”

Yuan Bashen agreed, "Auntie is right, look at all the people today, Uncle Xiao and the two young masters are here, so she won't come to greet Auntie, even if she just said hello, how much face is Auntie?"

The fourth aunt became more and more angry when she thought about it, and Wu Niang in the next room threw down the needle and thread. Yuan Ba ​​heard the voice say: "The fifth sister is also twenty, aunt, I think you should not make your wife angry this year, and give the fifth sister first." Find a good home."

Fourth Yiniang said sadly: "Then...well, madam doesn't like Wu Niang very much, so how can I do this..."

Yuan Wuniang finally couldn't help it, and rushed over angrily: "I don't need to rely on my wife, I won't curry favor with anyone! I just look at my own ability."

Yuan Ba ​​was stunned for a moment, and said, "Fifth Sister is..."

Yuan Wuniang sneered and said: "That bitch took it away from me back then, bah! This thing is endless!"

Si Niang was also a little silly, and hurriedly said: "But Si Niang has been married a long time ago, and now she even has children."

Yuan Wuniang sat down and said calmly: "Mother just watch, what else can Si Niang do besides showing off her honesty in front of Madam? She is not as good as me in any way! Why do you think Uncle Xiao wants her? It's just for Madam's sake." , it’s hard to refute.”

The fourth aunt hesitated for a while, but Yuan Ba ​​said: "The fifth sister is right. Men love good looks. Except for the fourth sister who is honest and dull like a stone, who would like her? Let's see her occupying it for nothing. For Mrs. Uncle's position, why not ask Fifth Sister to go up, and she can help our mother and son."

Fourth Yiniang finally made up her mind, she nodded and said, "Fifth Mother, just let go and do it!"

Poor General Xiao didn't know that he had been missed by a strange woman for five years. After welcoming his father-in-law and mother-in-law back to Beijing, he went to the palace to face the saint. After Zhu Xian finished talking to him, he suddenly sighed: "You don't You know, this is about to show filial piety, I receive countless papers every day asking me to choose a queen this morning, so that when the time comes, I can welcome people into the palace to breed offspring."

Xiao Su said seriously: "But speaking of it, the emperor really wants to consider the heir."

Zhu Xian changed his sitting position, and said helplessly: "I have finally sorted out the harem, and I know the network of those concubines. Now I don't have the time to choose the queen candidate one by one. Some people are still loyal to the emperor. Those who can't wait for me to die tomorrow Going down, this is to send spies into the palace, tsk tsk."

Xiao Su smiled and said, "I don't know if there are one or two that the emperor thinks are good in the past two years."

Zhu Xian was silent for a while, then changed his sitting position, and said, "It is true."

Xiao Su watched Zhu Xian grow up, he not only respected the emperor, but also cared for the younger generation, Zhu Xian hesitated, and said: "I just want to ask the master to be a matchmaker."

As soon as Xiao Su heard that Zhu Xian had changed his name, he laughed and said, "If the emperor really likes it, I will go and be a matchmaker for the emperor."

Zhu Xian became a little happy, but for some reason, Xiao Su felt a little sad when he saw it. Zhu Xian ignored the emperor's etiquette, rubbed his hands together with a smile, and said, "Master, this person is a relative of your family."

"Ok?"

Zhu Xian said with some embarrassment: "I also ask Master to invite the Yuan family, such as Heng, into the palace to be the queen for me."
