ordinary people's house

Xiao Mulang sneered and said, "Didn't you tell me not to go back?"

Lin Yulan didn't say a word, just looked at him silently.

Xiao Mulang said: "Leave if you want him to go, go back if you want him to go back, you treat the whole family of Xiao's family as dead, and follow you to bully?"

Lin Yulan said, "I'll take Yunlang back."

Xiao Mulang said coldly: "Impossible, you should give up your heart!"

Lin Yulan was silent for a while, then looked at him calmly: "I must pick Yunlang back today."

"Will you go back and eat bran swallowed vegetables with you?"

"I won't make him suffer any more."

Xiao Mulang didn't give in, "Wait until the day you can do it."

Xiao Li and his son who were on the side looked at each other, not knowing whether to persuade them, Xiao Mulang glanced at them, and said politely: "Everyone, please, father will invite Uncle Li and Brother Yan to have a drink some other day."

Xiao Yanlang could only smile and said, "I'm bothering you today."

After Xiao Li's family left, Xiao Mulang ordered lightly: "Close the door!"

Xiao Yunlang didn't know about all this, Uncle Huang asked his apprentice to find a delicate tray, Xiao Yunlang slowly went out with his face, Uncle Huang sighed from behind: "It's really a married man, look at us Young Master and Second Young Master, where do you have such thoughts?"

A young apprentice leaned over and said in a low voice: "I heard people say yesterday that our young master doesn't seem to be leaving in the future, but will stay in the uncle's residence."

Uncle Huang squinted at him, "You know what a fart."

The little apprentice was scolded, and said aggrievedly: "The young master's husband's family is dead, exiled, there are only two people left in the whole family, no one can have a good life, but they have to go out to live a hard life."

Uncle Huang said slowly: "No wonder you are still a bachelor now. Your brother has already married a wife. Learn a little bit, silly boy."

Xiao Yunlang put the noodles in front of Xiao Su, and said a little embarrassedly: "Father, I made this with my own hands, you can try it."

Xiao Su looked at the steaming face in front of his eyes, Xiao Yunlang said: "Uncle Huang made the chicken soup, and I made the rest myself."

Xiao Su took a piece of noodles with chopsticks, with a smile in his eyes that he didn't even notice, he ate the noodles in a big mouthful, and finished the noodles in a few mouthfuls, Xiao Dulang watched eagerly until there was only half a bowl left in Xiao Su's bowl Soup, he said: "Little brother, you don't make me a bowl to eat."

"I'll make it for you when Second Brother's birthday comes." Xiao Yunlang said with a smile.

Xiao Su suddenly remembered something, and asked, "You didn't touch cold water, did you?"

Xiao Yunlang said: "The dishes are washed with warm water."

Xiao Su didn't speak any more, Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "I think your father is happier than receiving half the birthday gift from the treasury."

Xiao Mulang walked in and shook off a few snowflakes on his body. Little Yuan said, "Is it snowing again? You came late, Yun Lang made a bowl of birthday noodles for your father, and your father has already finished eating."

"Really?" Xiao Mulang sat down without changing his expression.

"It's all here, let's serve."

Xiao Su asked someone to serve wine, he was a little high-spirited, and asked the servants to fill up the father and son. Xiao Su ate the noodles and stuffed his stomach, and almost drank all his sons down. Xiao Yunlang was the most drunk, Dazedly looking at the snowflakes that suddenly became bigger than goose feathers outside, he murmured: "Today seems to be the biggest snow this year."

Xiao Mulang looked at him calmly.

Xiao Su drank another cup, and suddenly said: "Dad has been sorry for you these years."

"Huh? Dad?" Xiao Yunlang looked at him.

Xiao Su relied on the strength of his wine, but his tone was extremely serious, "Back then, it was the family that Dad showed you. Dad made friends with Lord Lin Duo and Lin Hou. You are about the same age as Lin Yulan. His eldest brother came to propose marriage in person, and Dad agreed. ...During the past six months, if you don't come back, Dad is always worried that you will blame me."

"No, Daddy," Xiao Yunlang laughed, "I am very happy to marry Yulan, and I don't regret it now..."

Xiao Mulang suddenly said: "He is outside the gate of the uncle's mansion now."

Xiao Yunlang was taken aback.

Xiao Mulang said lightly: "But I'm not going to let him in."

Xiao Yunlang stood up, and was about to go outside without even wearing his coat. Xiao Mulang sat on the stool, and when Xiao Yunlang passed by his side, he grabbed his wrist.

The room suddenly fell silent, Xiao Dulang looked at his elder brother and then at his younger brother, but didn't say a word, Xiao Su also frowned, Little Yuan sighed silently.

Xiao Yunlang didn't break free from Xiao Mulang's shackles, and said annoyedly: "Brother, let me go."

"You are not allowed to go out!"

"You let me go—"

"Let go of you?" Xiao Mulang looked at him, "let go of you, what do you want? Open the door and let him in, then go back with him, go back and continue to be your housekeeper, cooking for him, washing, washing and sweeping the floor? You are my Xiao Mulang's. Younger brother, he is Uncle Jin Jiang's direct son and grandson of Duke Su'an Yuan Shenyan, do you really want to serve others?"

Xiao Yunlang gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry about me!"

Xiao Mulang let go of his hand, and said calmly: "Order, whoever opens the door for the third young master will receive twenty boards in the snow."

Xiao Yunlang looked at Xiao Su, and cried out in tears: "Father, tell them to open the door!"

Xiao Su was silent for a moment, and Xiao Mulang said coldly: "You can go with him, but he must stand up like a man and stand up!"

"Why, he..." Xiao Yunlang closed his eyes in pain, and suddenly screamed at Xiao Mulang, "Why did he have to stand up! You don't understand at all! Xianggong's parents, brother, and sister-in-law are all dead! All those who love him Everyone is dead! Xianggong was raised by the elder brother, but the elder brother was beheaded by the emperor! It is said that he learned martial arts and sold it to the emperor's family. Why did Xianggong stand up? He can't take part in scientific examinations, he can't join the army to fight, he stands up All the ways are dead! I would rather he is decadent for the rest of his life, and I will support him! I don’t want him to stand up, you don’t understand! You don’t understand anything—”

Xiao Yunlang covered his face with his hands, tears still rolling out, "I am the only person in this world who loves him! If I leave too, what will my husband do? You will only hate him, look down on him, think he It won't work if we leave the Hou's mansion, but he and I are a family, and we will live together for the rest of our lives."

Xiao Yunlang wiped his face with his sleeve, then glanced at the silent Xiao Mulang again, turned around and ran out.

Xiao Mulang sat in the distance, holding his own wine glass, but his hands were shaking, he lost his balance, and the wine glass fell to the ground.

Facing the heavy snow, Xiao Yunlang ran to the main gate of the uncle's mansion. The guard at the gate looked at me, but he didn't dare to open the door for him. Xiao Yunlang walked over and slammed on the gate, shouting: "Are you still there?"

There was no response from the other side of the door. Xiao Yunlang closed his eyes and leaned his head against the door. After a long time, he heard the person say, "Yes."

Xiao Yunlang said shyly: "Brother won't ask people to open the door, you go back."

"...I'll take you back."

Xiao Yunlang's eyes became blurred again, he nodded, and after a while he realized that the person on the opposite side couldn't see, so he said: "Okay."

The snow was getting heavier, Xiao Yunlang took a few steps back and walked out of the gate, letting the snowflakes hit him, several servants hurriedly said: "Young master, this can't be done, you go into the house!"

Xiao Yunlang stood stubbornly in the snow without saying a word.

A guard hastily asked someone to run into the inner courtyard to report the news. Xiao Yunlang was not wearing thick clothes, and his whole body was trembling. When the people opposite the door heard the movement, they suddenly knocked on the door violently, shouting: "Yunlang! Where are you?" ? You go back quickly!"

Xiao Yunlang stood silently.

There was still shouting: "You can't stand in the snow! You go back—"

"I won't! I won't go back!" Xiao Yunlang said in a low voice, only he could hear that voice.

——"Nonsense!" Xiao Su hurried over, furious in his heart, "Are you ruining your body like this?"

"Father..." Xiao Yunlang trembled, "You ask them to open the door."

Xiao Su looked at him for a long time, and said, "Open the door!"

Lin Yulan's hair was still covered with snowflakes, and there was a thick layer of snow under his body. His face was purple from the cold. Xiao Yunlang rushed over to hug him, "Why are you standing here all this time? You won't go home? Wait Do you want to come back another day?"

Lin Yulan stretched out her stiff arms to hug him, but said nothing.

Xiao Su let out a long sigh and said, "Come in."

Xiao Yunlang took Lin Yulan back to Meiyuan, asked someone to boil hot water, cook ginger soup, and then find a doctor. Lin Yulan just looked at him silently. The little girls who just came to Meiyuan these days did not know Lin Yulan, and they hid in the corridor. Whispering.

Qing Wu walked over with ginger soup, and said displeasedly: "It's time to employ people, look at your idle time."

"Sister Qingwu," a little girl greeted her flatteringly, "Is that our young master's husband?"

"Ah."

The little girls asked curiously: "In the future, will this son also live in the uncle's residence?" This is something they need to care about, if the third young master's husband also stays here, they will have two masters in the future.

"This is not something we should worry about." After Qingwu finished speaking, he ordered: "Is the hot water ready? Why don't you go soon? When will the doctor come? Go and watch."

"Yes."

Qingwu pushed the door open and entered, Xiao Yunlang was walking around Lin Yulan, taking off his wet coat and putting on his own thick clothes, but the two of them didn't speak, they looked at each other silently, Xiao Yunlang saw Qingwu coming in, With a sigh of relief, he said, "Is it all right?"

Qingwu handed the ginger soup to the two, "This is what the cook has always prepared."

After a while, Xiao Yunlang pushed Lin Yulan into the steaming bathtub, and the little girls went out. Xiao Yunlang rolled up his sleeves, Lin Yulan turned his back to him, Xiao Yunlang stood there for a while, and said, "How long have you been standing outside?" ?”

"...I walked from home two hours ago."

Xiao Yunlang gritted his teeth, feeling aggrieved, "Then you didn't want me to go back that day, and you still drove me away."

Lin Yulan turned around in the water, the water flipped and splashed out of the tub, he looked at Xiao Yunlang and said, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have done that."

Xiao Yunlang lowered his head and saw the bloodshot eyes in his eyes, Xiao Yunlang couldn't help stretching out his hand to stroke Lin Yulan's face, Lin Yulan grabbed his hand and pressed it to her heart, "I understand now that I can't lose you. "

Xiao Yunlang looked at him, and said seriously: "I don't need a vast mansion with ten thousand rooms, one house is enough to shelter me, and I don't want servants to serve me, just the two of us live a simple life, that's all I ever need."

"...Well, I know." Lin Yulan forced a smile.

Lin Yulan lay down on Xiao Yunlang's bed, and Xiao Yunlang went to the cabinet to find clothes for him. After a while, he came over with a few loose inner clothes of his own, and said, "I asked someone to bake your coat, and it can be done in a while."

Xiao Yunlang had slept on this babu bed for many years, and the bed was covered with thick mattresses. Lin Yulan hadn't been to the Jinjiang Mansion for a long time. His feelings about visiting this time were too complicated, but he just missed this room. He remembered that when he first got married, he accompanied Yunlang to Guining, and Yunlang cried as soon as he entered the house, and later he was reluctant to leave, so he had to promise him to stay with him for a few days.

Xiao Yunlang came over and looked at him and said, "Go to sleep for a while."

"Your father..."

"Let's go to see father together later, you sleep for a while, and I will call you later."

Xiao Yunlang was sitting by the bed, Lin Yulan suddenly pulled him, pressed him to her side and said, "You sleep too."

Xiao Yunlang struggled for a while but didn't break away, and didn't move anymore. The room was warm, burning with tranquil incense, and there was his man beside him. He also felt drowsy coming up in waves, so he closed his eyes.

Xiao Yunlang fell asleep first.He was also tired recently, and every night, his heart was always troubled, and he was never as peaceful as this time.

Lin Yulan didn't fall asleep all the time. When the breathing of the people around him gradually stabilized, he gently got up and looked at Xiao Yunlang's peaceful sleeping face. He didn't know how long he lay down again, and pressed the person sleeping beside him to the bed. In his arms, he closed his eyes.
