ordinary people's house

Xiao Mulang's wedding was getting closer, Xiao Yunlang couldn't stay idle and always wanted to help, but Lin Yulan didn't dare, as long as he didn't go out, he had to keep an eye on him.

Xiao Yunlang said angrily: "Haven't you heard of it? After pregnancy, you need to go out frequently, so that you can give birth in the future!"

Lin Yulan was unmoved: "That is four or five months later, the child is not stable at three months, I will accompany you out in a few days."

Xiao Yunlang said dissatisfied: "At that time, the eldest brother was already married!"

Lin Yulan nodded and said: "Well, it's just right, the eldest brother's married mansion must be very chaotic... How about we go to live in a house in the suburbs of Beijing for a few days?"

Xiao Yunlang glanced at him, stopped talking, turned around and went back to the bedroom to lie down.

Lin Yulan stood in place for a while, and then slowly followed. Xiao Yunlang pulled up the quilt to cover his head. Lin Yulan hesitated for a moment, then pulled down the quilt and said, "This is not good, don't hold back..."

Xiao Yunlang sat up, frowned and said: "Are you afraid of the discomfort in my stomach? You can just say it directly! My eldest brother got married, and you actually asked me to leave the uncle's house... Why didn't you say that before?!" Xiao Yunlang thought more and more The more angry, "You never asked me if I was tired or if I wanted to be here before, but now that you have this child, you worry about everything."

Lin Yulan was dumbfounded, standing by the bed, at a loss, and finally said: "Are you hungry?"

Xiao Yunlang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Hungry."

The Jinjiang uncle's mansion has been gradually arranged, and it is full of red everywhere. Xiao Dulang is the most dissatisfied among them. Because he is busy arranging the eldest son's wedding, Xiao Su is often not in Xishan, so Xiao Dulang can only stay there. The excitement was not enough, and the younger brother had a child, so he didn't have a chance to take a few more glances.

Although Xiao Yunlang was dissatisfied with Lin Yulan staring at him all day, he was gradually used to being lazy by Lin Yulan, and hid in the plum garden on weekdays.

Little Yuan was busy with the affairs of the mansion, and even took time to go to the Su'an mansion once, but not long after she entered the back house, a little girl came to report that Fourth Aunt wanted to see her.

Little Yuan smiled and said: "When you come into the mansion, you should greet Madam first."

The girl in the Fourth Aunt's room curled her lips unhappily, and said: "Many wives have come to the mansion today, and the wives are accompanying them."

Xiao Yuan heard what she meant, and was not angry, but asked in a good-tempered manner: "May I ask which wives they are?"

The little girl counted her fingers, and proudly said: "Today, the ladies are here to congratulate you, and all the famous noble families in Beijing are here."

Little Yuan looked at her lightly, and the little girl couldn't help but flinch, but she was used to hearing Fourth Aunt and Fifth Miss say that the step-wife of Jinjiang uncle's mansion was just a concubine, and she didn't have much status in the Xiao family, so she said: "Please go ahead." , Fourth Aunt is waiting for you."

Little Yuan supported her maidservant and said, "Okay, let's go see Fourth Aunt first."

Fourth Yiniang and Yuan Concubine'er didn't know what they were preparing, they all had high-spirited faces, squinting at people, and offended many people after returning home.When little Yuanshi walked into the courtyard where the two of them lived, she realized that the mother and daughter of the fifth aunt and the mother and daughter of the seventh aunt lived here, and that the room where the fourth aunt and the fifth lady lived was the largest.

Fifth Auntie and Seventh Auntie were sitting and talking in the yard, but when they saw Xiao Yuan enter, they both stood up. Fifth Auntie was a bit flamboyant, but she was polite in front of Xiao Yuan, and she pulled Xiao Yuan to sit. He continued: "Why did Grandma Sigu come here at this time? Our two sisters have long been looking forward to your coming. We haven't seen you for so many years. Why don't you see your eldest lady?"

Qi Yiniang served tea first, and said with a smile: "We were still talking just now, the fourth aunt is the most blessed in the whole house, she didn't realize it when she was in the Northwest, but when she came back to Beijing and saw this yard, she knew it was all arranged by you , I haven't had time to thank you, I got a few vulgar things when I was in the northwest, don't be disgusted by the fourth aunt."

Little Yuan was not in a hurry, and answered everything one by one. When the daughters of the two aunts came out, little Yuan asked the girl to bring out her personal things and give them to them. Waiting, Mrs. Yuan disappeared, so they couldn't sit still anymore, and asked someone to ask, only then did they know that Mrs. Yuan had come a long time ago, and even started talking to the others in their yard .

Yuan Concubine's face darkened quickly, and Fourth Aunt stood up and shouted dissatisfiedly: "What dirty things are used to flattering people, so I don't even know what time it is!"

Little Yuan heard the fourth aunt making noise at the door outside, so she smiled slightly, and the two aunts looked at each other, pointing out: "I don't know what happened to Fifth Miss in the past few days. Smile, she used to look at people from the corner of her eyes, but now she walks sideways."

Little Yuan stood up and said, "Thank you two aunts for the tea."

Little Yuan Shi walked into Fourth Auntie's room, she and Yuan Yuer sat on chairs without even looking at Little Yuan Shi, and after Little Yuan sat down by herself, Fourth Auntie sneered: "Today I am always It's really not easy to see you, the fourth aunt. A few days ago, the second and third aunts came back to the house. Which one of them is not the official wife. After seeing the wife, don't they want to see their aunts? I was At the second aunt's place, the third aunt's grandma honored her aunt with several boxes of good things, but the second aunt made fun of me for a while."

Little Yuan was unmoved, and glanced at her indifferently. When Yuan's family returned to Beijing, every room of Little Yuan had prepared gifts. Part of it came out and was given to her.But fourth aunt seems to think that she is the wife of the Xiao family, and all the treasures of the Xiao family belong to her, and she must honor all the treasures of the Xiao family to her old man.

Fourth Yiniang said displeasedly: "I'm talking to you."

Little Yuan said: "I am indeed not as filial as my second and third sisters."

Fourth Aunt didn't know what to say, she just glanced behind the curtain vaguely.Yuan Ba ​​didn't live here, and today he heard that the fourth sister was coming, so he came from the front yard. He waited in the room, but didn't come out.The fourth aunt has a good appearance, only the little Yuan is not like her. The fourth aunt dotes on the beautiful Yuan concubine, and she likes her only son the most. She really doesn't pay much attention to the little Yuan, but now it is the little Yuan who has the highest status. When I think about it, I used to feel very awkward.

Yuan Yuer coughed lightly and said, "Fourth Sister, Auntie didn't mean to blame you, but we are only close relatives after all, we need to help each other if there is anything."

Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "Who says it's not."

Yuan Yu'er hinted at Si Yiniang's words, and Si Yiniang proudly said: "I have something to tell you, your fifth sister's marriage is also settled."

Yuan Ba's heart was also very hot inside. There are too many children in the Yuan family, so he is not valued very much, but if... if his sister becomes the imperial concubine, it will be difficult for his father not to value him.

Little Yuan took a look at Yuan Concubine who was pretending to be indifferent, and said with a smile, "Oh? I don't know who it is, what does Auntie want me to do?"

Si Yiniang said: "Then you would never have imagined that your fifth younger sister was valued by the emperor not long ago!"

Little Yuan: "..."

Yuan Concubine gently wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and without looking at little Yuan Shi, Fourth Aunt continued: "It's just that we can't talk about this matter with Madam, after much deliberation, I'd better tell you to go, later Concubine Standing firm in the palace is also good for you..."

Little Yuan blinked and said, "Does the Second Young Master know about this?"

Fourth Aunt's smile froze, and Yuan Yu'er couldn't help but said at this moment: "Second Young Master has already decided on the position of empress, since he is empress, he has the duty to choose concubines for the emperor and spread the leaves."

Little Yuan recalled the second young master Ruheng she knew, and said in a daze, "...Oh."

When she came back from Xiao's house that day, Yuan Concubine's heart was scratched like a cat, and she recalled the scenes of her getting along with the emperor. For a while, she felt that the emperor looked at her a few more times, and for a while, she felt that she was thinking too much, but she She was unwilling to give up this opportunity. After a brief discussion with Si Yiniang, she decided to lie to Mrs. Yuan first, and told Mrs. Du to tell Mrs. Du that if Mrs. Du understood the truth, she would naturally explain it to the second young master. It was a matter of course for her to enter the palace.

As for whether the emperor took a fancy to her or not, Yuan Yu'er also felt that it was not important anymore. How could the emperor refuse if she was so good-looking?The second young master is a tough big man, or a military officer who has been on the battlefield... Who would like such a person?

Yuan Yuer figured it out by herself, and waited for little Yuan Shi to come. Just today, the mother and daughter told Xiao Yuan Shi about the matter. On the surface, they didn't care, but they were all looking forward to Xiao Yuan Shi's reaction.

Little Yuan didn't know what to say, so she smiled and said, "I'm going to see my wife, so I don't need to see you off."

Yuan Ba ​​heard that the little Yuan family didn't seem to agree, and became a little anxious. Yuan Yu'er no longer held back, and said: "Fourth sister, I can't bring this matter up. It's most appropriate for you to tell the madam."

Little Yuan glanced at her and didn't speak. At this moment, Yuan Ba ​​inside couldn't help but said: "I think Fourth Sister can't look down on others. At the beginning, Fourth Sister robbed Fifth Sister of her marriage, and Fifth Sister didn't blame you. Now Fifth Sister sees it. There will be a better home, why is Fourth Sister not willing?"

Little Yuan was stunned for a moment, Yuan Ba ​​opened the curtain and came out, frowning, "Fourth Sister! This is the opportunity that Fifth Sister gave you!"

Little Yuan Shi was about to be driven mad by this group of people, so she finally couldn't help standing up and said, "Yuan'er, let's go out first."

"Yes."

Fourth aunt wanted to stop her, Yuan Ba ​​didn't have a good temper, he directly grabbed the little Yuan's sleeve and said: "Fourth sister! Please speak clearly—"

At this time, Madam Du's angry voice came from outside the door: "Shut up—"

Lin Yulan finally compromised, and accompanied Xiao Yunlang to go out to look at the decoration of the new house. He carefully put his arms around Xiao Yunlang and held Xiao Yunlang's hand with one hand. Xiao Yunlang looked at the people coming and going, and said with a smile: "It turns out that getting married is so complicated."

Lin Yulan had a good understanding, and said: "It was the same when we were back then."

"Is it?"

"Well, it was also prepared several months ago, although it only took one day to dismantle it."

The two walked for a while, Xiao Yunlang touched his stomach and said, "Why am I hungry again?"

Lin Yulan laughed, took Xiao Yunlang back, and was going to ask the servant girl to bring back some pastries. Wen'er and Taozi returned to the house this time, they were no longer the third-class little girls like they were back then, but they were serving together in the house with Qingwu , Lin Yulan stopped Taozi casually, and said a few words to her, Taozi nodded and went.

Qingwu was talking with Wen'er in the room, and suddenly said: "I think Taozi has suddenly grown in the past two years, it seems that I want to remind the young master to take care of Taozi."

Wen'er suddenly sneered and said, "I think that girl has a big heart."

Qingwu frowned and said, "How did you say that?"

Wen'er said: "Taozi always likes to go to Young Master Lin's side. Whenever I talk about her, she will cry. I don't bother to talk about her now."

Qingwu smiled and said: "I didn't see it."

"It's only because I live in the same room with her all year round that I know that she doesn't say a word to the servants on weekdays, because she is afraid that the young master will marry her."

Qingwu thought for a while, and said: "I still have to talk to the young master some other day."
