ordinary people's house

Xiao Su listened quietly to Lin Yulan's words, and finally said, "Get up."

Lin Yulan stood up, and Xiao Su said calmly, "In that case, wait until Yunlang heals his hands before you go back."

"it is good."

Xiao Su stood up, remembering what his son Yun Lang said at noon, he couldn't help sighing. He and Lin Duo were both military generals loyal to the late emperor. Su Ye was disliked by the late emperor more and more because of his support for the crown prince. But once the situation changed, Lin Duo and his wife died, and the Xiao family was still prosperous.Thinking of his old friend, Xiao Su couldn't help but said: "With you here, the Lin family still has a glimmer of hope."

Lin Yulan nodded and said, "I understand."

This time Zhu Xian already knew the reason for Xiao Dulang's hesitancy before, this time he generously asked someone to pass it on, Xiao Su heard the voice in the room, hurriedly opened the door and came out, just about to salute, he was caught by Zhu Xian Xian stopped him, Zhu Xian said with a smile: "I'm here to celebrate Taifu's birthday, Taifu doesn't need to salute."

Xiao Su said: "The emperor didn't bring more guards when he went out of the palace."

Zhu Xian waved his hands indifferently, "I'm here at the Taifu's house, why bother to make a big fuss."

When Xiao Su asked the emperor to go in, Xiao Yunlang quietly bypassed them and found Lin Yulan. Lin Yulan's expression was calm, Xiao Yunlang said in a low voice: "Let's go back to Meiyuan first."

"...Mmm." Zhu Xian didn't ask them to salute, and Xiao Yunlang didn't go forward with Lin Yulan either.

Zhu Xian glanced at their husband and wife, the emotion in his eyes was unclear.

Xiao Yunlang took Lin Yulan's hand and kept watching him secretly. After a while, Lin Yulan came back to her senses and said, "You don't have to worry about me, I didn't think too much."

"Oh." Xiao Yunlang lowered his head.

"He is the emperor, the monarch of the world. It doesn't make any sense for me to treat him as an enemy on my own. Besides, I shouldn't resent him. It's big brother... big brother..."

Xiao Yunlang breathed a sigh of relief, and interrupted him quickly: "Speaking of which, I'm hungry too, the emperor may have some supper at father's place, let's order something to eat too."

Lin Yulan hadn't eaten for a whole day, and Xiao Yunlang was similar. They were worried about something and had no intention of eating. Now they felt hungry. When they went back to Meiyuan, Xiao Yunlang called Qingwu and asked her to go to the kitchen to ask for some delicious food. pastry.

Too many things happened in just one day. After soaking his feet, Xiao Yunlang felt sleepy again. He finally finished eating with his eyelids open, and fell asleep with Lin Yulan in his arms.

In the main courtyard, Zhu Xian drove Xiao Mulang brothers out, and told Xiao Su about the Liu family's desire to get married.Xiao Su was silent for a while, Zhu Xian said with a smile: "Teacher, there is no need to rush to make a decision. The country's filial piety has not yet ended, and everything is just talking now, but if the Grand Tutor wants to, I will tell my uncle, and the two of you will meet again in private. It's a negotiation."

Xiao Su sighed: "The emperor also knows that the eldest son of the minister looks gentle, but he is not an easy person to get along with. I am not afraid that others will wrong him, but I am afraid that he will wrong others, so these years, I only call him Look for someone you like, but don't ask, and don't force him."

Zhu Xian said with a smile: "So that's how it is. Why don't we ask them to meet sometime in the next year. If it doesn't work, it's okay."

"I thank the emperor."

"Teacher, you don't have to thank me. Speaking of it, it's something that happened to my cousin. I'll trouble you to think about it."

Xiao Su said again: "May the emperor forgive me for talking too much, I don't know if the emperor has considered the next candidate?"

Zhu Xian had the same attitude as Xiao Mulang this time, "Why do you think about that?"

"..." Xiao Su said, "Your Majesty, a small family like this minister can't live in peace without a housewife for a day. After the death of my wife, I have no intention of marrying again. As a result, the family is in chaos. I don't know how to start, but after I married Xu Xian, the family became peaceful. Your Majesty, your family is not a small one."

Zhu Xian said with a wry smile: "Why don't I know this truth? In the early years, my father had no intention of choosing a good marriage for me. Those powerful ministers were also watching and did not dare to marry my daughter easily. Now I have bothered them Now, there are ten or twenty concubines in the palace who are not fuel-efficient lamps. Who can serve these mother-in-laws? I have thought about it, and I will honestly guard my father for 27 months. During this period, no one should think about it The matter of the queen! Wait two years until I can control the situation in the court, and then choose the queen quietly, do you think this will work?"

Xiao Su said: "I didn't know that the emperor saw the situation so thoroughly."

Zhu Xian said with a smile: "If the Taifu's family has a daughter, I don't have to worry so much."

Xiao Su also smiled and said, "Unfortunately, my daughter is only one year old."

The monarch and his ministers had a light meal together, and Xiao Su asked Xiao Mulang to personally send the emperor back to the palace. On the way, Xiao Mulang suddenly realized, "So the emperor came to be a matchmaker for the minister."

Zhu Xian laughed and said, "Did you really forget the people you saved on Mount Buzhe?"

Xiao Mulang recalled for a while, nodded and said: "So it was that boy that day? When I heard the movement, the boy's face was covered with flowers, and he climbed up the tree while crying. I really didn't see the man's face clearly. .”

Zhu Xian thought about the scene at that time, and said: "My cousin grew up in the Ruize Academy in Busha Mountain. He loves to run up the mountain on weekdays. Fortunately, you passed by that day and saved his life."

"Since it's him," Xiao Mulang smiled, "it's okay to meet you."

That kid was indeed climbing a tree at that time, but he couldn't climb, and he was about to slip down when he jumped up. Xiao Mulang shot and killed the gray wolf chasing him. The kid hiccupped from crying and came to thank him. Xiao Mulang glanced With his dirty face and paws, he turned and rode away.

After Zhu Xian returned to the palace, Xiao Mulang rode his horse back, thinking helplessly, since he will marry one sooner or later, who should he marry?

By the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xiao Yunlang could no longer stay still, and stammered that he and Lin Yulan were going back to celebrate the New Year.

Xiao Su went to Xishan Daying Camp, and the closer the New Year approached, the more he couldn't relax. Xiao Mulang, who stayed at home, nodded after hearing what he said: "Is your hand alright?"

"Ah."

Xiao Mulang seemed to be thinking about it, Xiao Yunlang said: "After we go back, I'll just ask him to work, why don't I do nothing?"

"I think you are really looking forward to returning home." Xiao Mulang said coolly.

Xiao Yunlang smiled, "We'll come back in a few years."

"Okay, go talk to Uber and ask him to help prepare something."

"Hey."

At this time, You Bo was asking questions in Meiyuan. He was in the servant's room with a gentle face and said: "I'll ask again, who is willing to leave the mansion with the third young master to serve?"

The little girls look at me and I look at you without saying a word, even though their master doesn't live in Meiyuan all the time, after all, there is a leisurely place where he works as an errand, and he wears clothes all year round They are all indispensable, and you don’t need to do rough work, so it’s not necessarily the case when you go out. I heard that the third young master’s family is only the husband and wife, and they don’t even have a servant to help. In the future, it’s hard to treat them as rough envoys. for human use?

Qingwu sighed softly and said, "Butler You, let me go."

You Bo said: "You go, who is in Meiyuan? From now on, the third young master and his wife will come back to live for a period of time every year. You can't follow them every time."

This is also Qingwu's scruples, she went out to serve, and then came back to the house, who in Meiyuan can obey her?Qing Wu was not serving Xiao Yunlang, she was serving Madam Yuan. After Madam Yuan passed away, she went to the young master and became a first-class girl. This time, the young master saw that she was careful and not a person with evil intentions. , he personally sent her to Meiyuan to be the first-class maid. In the past, the young master saw her hard work and deliberately pointed her to a steward in the wisteria courtyard... Uber knew all this, so he would not send her out. He glanced at her Sweeping over, all the little girls he saw shrank and said nothing, only one girl in a pink shirt thought for a while and said, "Grandpa You, let me go."

"Oh?" Uber looked over.

The little girl's parents are both dead, and she lives with an older brother who is worthless, and she will marry an ordinary girl in the future. There is no one behind her to help her, and she will not be very promising in the future. Well, I'm also among the servants. As soon as she spoke, another little girl also said: "I will also serve the third young master."

Uber raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Qingwu, Qingwu thought for a while, and this was something that he didn't worry much about in the uncle's house, so he nodded to Uber.

Uber smiled and called them to come forward and asked, "What's your name?"

"The maid's name is Wen'er."

"The maid's name is Taozi."

"Okay, okay, good girl," Uber looked at Qingwu with a smile, "You ask someone to find out all the belongings of these two girls, and each of them will give you 20 taels. If the third young master likes you, there are other girls in the uncle's mansion." reward."

The two little girls were overjoyed, 20 taels, they can spend a lot of time!Wen'er and Taozi kowtowed and went to pack their things.

After Xiao Yunlang and Lin Yulan packed up and saluted, he didn't know that Uber had chosen a servant for him. He subconsciously went to see Lin Yulan, and Lin Yulan said, "That's fine."

Xiao Yunlang thought for a while, "Then we have to clean up the west wing."

Lin Yulan was noncommittal, and You Bo said: "Because the New Year is approaching, the house's rough envoys and servants can't even out, and I will pick a few obedient ones for the third young master in the next year."

Xiao Yunlang said: "You don't need to be in a hurry to pick someone for us, we have few things to do there after all, the two of us just do it and it's over."

Uber laughed and said: "These two little girls and the young master will be used first, if they are disobedient, just deal with them, and I will find a good one for the young master."

"Thank you Uber."

As soon as they said they were going to leave, Uncle Huang, the steward of the kitchen, hurriedly asked the apprentices to prepare several large boxes of pastries for Xiao Yunlang to bring, and he kept mumbling, "Young master just learned how to roll wonton wrappers, but he hasn't learned how to make wonton wrappers yet. Why is this so?" want to go?

His eldest apprentice couldn't help but said: "Young master is very smart, Bao Wonton can figure it out on his own."

"Hey, I hope so."

Uber arranged the carriage, and the Lin family watched as the servants loaded bags into the carriage. The two little girls got into the second carriage. Xiao Yunlang whispered to Lin Yulan, "Can our family fit in?" ?”

Lin Yulan looked down at him with a smile in her eyes.

Xiao Yunlang also looked at him. When they were driven out of the Hou's Mansion, Lin Yulan was extremely disgusted with the Jinjiang Mansion. He couldn't even hear the name of the Bo Mansion, let alone accept the help of the Bo Mansion. Now he can calmly Stand here and tell Xiao Yunlang with his eyes that he doesn't care anymore.

Uber looked at the young couple, you look at me, I look at you, although he was not too affectionate, but he told him that the old man couldn't walk over to disturb him, so he couldn't help but smiled and walked a little further away.

When the car was all installed, the husband and wife went to bid farewell to the elder brother and the younger Yuan, and accepted the moaning and chirping of the second brother before coming out hand in hand.

Xiao Dulang followed them dissatisfied, Xiao Yunlang didn't know what he thought of, suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "I heard that the eldest brother has already started discussing marriage, and when he leaves the country, maybe the eldest brother and the second brother will do the marriage together."

Xiao Dulang's face turned red all of a sudden, Xiao Yunlang let out a "puchi" laugh, and trotted away.

"A guy who has no seniority... actually made fun of me!" Xiao Dulang muttered, and then shouted at Lin Yulan, "Don't let me know that you bully Yunlang again."

Lin Yulan hugged him and got into the carriage.

The carriage took it slowly for more than half an hour, and turned from Qingyun Road into Nanmin Lane where the Lin family lived. The driver and the little girls got off the car to carry things together. Lin Yulan refused to let Xiao Yunlang do anything, and carried a box into the house by herself. Xiao Yunlang found the key, opened the door of the west wing, and took out a broom to clean it up. For the past six months, he and Lin Yulan had been the two of them at home, and suddenly two people joined him. He felt a little strange, he was used to being left alone. After living, it's okay if there is no one to serve you in the future. Will he and Yulan feel uncomfortable if there are servants around?Xiao Yunlang thought about it again, but it's the Chinese New Year, it's always good to have someone to help him, and it's not easy for him to touch cold water, so it's good for them to do the laundry and vegetables.

Wen'er and Taozi are children of a family, they have never lived in such a messy room, and their faces are a little ugly, but after thinking about it, they have already come out to serve the third young master, and they can't go back to the uncle's house, they have to get used to it After getting off, she came up to help Xiao Yunlang tidy up the room together. After a while Lin Yulan called Xiao Yunlang out and showed him the chair she had made.

Xiao Yunlang circled the chair a few times at first, Lin Yulan pressed him down, "Try it."

"Hmm..." Xiao Yunlang thought that Lin Yulan was a good carver, and it would be easy to make a chair. Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, he heard the sound of the chair breaking. Before Xiao Yunlang could react, he followed the chair. When he fell down, Lin Yulan hurriedly pulled him up.

Xiao Yunlang was stunned for a while, then suddenly laughed.

Lin Yulan squatted down gloomyly to see where the chair was broken, Xiao Yunlang said: "There are still many things to do later, let's go eat first."

Lin Yulan fiddled with the chair in dissatisfaction, wondering why the things she had put so much effort into were so useless.

"Let's go." Xiao Yunlang stretched out his hand towards him.

"...Okay," Lin Yulan reached out to hold Xiao Yunlang's hand, "eat."
