ordinary people's house

Yang was speechless at first, and then said sharply: "I'm telling you about the family business, but you insist on talking about those things, we were exiled, you two are wearing gold and silver in Beijing, and you still have the face to complain We, your Xiao family can spend thousands of taels of silver at will, and the day your son is full moon, you can have tens of thousands of taels just from the gift money! This is all the property of the Lin family!"

Xiao Yunlang said angrily: "Second sister-in-law, I'm trying to reason with you. After the Lin family was confiscated, Yulan and I have worked so hard in the past few years to finally live a good life. How can we wear gold and silver? The year before last I gave you all the silver in my hand, counting the copper coins to live by myself, chopping firewood, cooking, washing and washing all by myself. This time when you return to Beijing, Yulan feels that we are close relatives and that we deserve to live together, but I owe you nothing."

Yang snorted again, Xiao Yunlang gritted his teeth, "Second sister-in-law, if we really can't live together..."

Before Xiao Yunlang finished speaking, Mrs. Yang said, "Don't you still have a house?"

Xiao Yunlang was stunned for a moment, and said: "My mother left it to me. My father was also sad for a while because I was almost going to sell the house. Yulan and I can lend you money to buy a house and land, but I own my house. Can't give it to anyone else."

Yang couldn't believe it: "Borrow?"

Xiao Yunlang said seriously: "It's a loan. You and the second brother are both in good health. If you manage well, you can earn back in a short time. And Zhaoru, Zhaoru is so old, you should also learn some ways to make a living."

Mrs. Yang seemed to have heard a big joke, pointing at Xiao Yunlang and said: "Listen, listen, we really don't have the same heart, you pretend I don't know you, what did my sister-in-law dislike you the most back then, isn't it just you Do you spend money? You said that you spent a lot of money in the Hou Mansion back then, and spent extravagantly, it was all the money of the Hou Mansion. Now that your second brother’s family is in trouble, you still want to take this opportunity to ask for our money. I will ask Yulan to comment. Judge, let’s see where there is such a reason in the world.”

Xiao Yunlang fell silent, Yang thought he had won, and said triumphantly: "If you still want to be the lord of our Lin family, just obediently hand over the shop. I don't want you, I'll let you take care of it. You can see that you earn a lot of money."

Ah Yu suddenly started to cry, Xiao Yunlang hurriedly comforted him and said, "Ah Yu, don't cry, Ah Yu, be obedient..." He stuck his hand into the small mattress and said with a smile, "It turns out that Ah Yu peed, Daddy will change your diaper .”

Seeing that he got up and left, Mrs. Yang went to grab the account book, Xiao Yunlang turned back and said calmly: "Second sister-in-law, think about it clearly, I think my father and grandfather would definitely not want to hear that I was being bullied at home."

"you……"

"Since you don't listen to what I say, I have no choice but to ask someone who can talk to come out and explain the truth to you for me. Second sister-in-law, you have been in trouble for the past few years. You should know what is sophistication. I was a good person a few years ago. I bullied you a bit, that’s because you didn’t touch my bottom line, now that I have a family and a son, I always have to think about my family, to put it bluntly, you are Yulan’s sister-in-law, not mine, my surname is Xiao, not mine. Forest!"

At night, when Lin Yulan came back, Ah Yu had already been taken away by Dong Di and coaxed him to sleep. Xiao Yunlang lay on the bed and asked in a muffled voice, "Why did you come back so late?"

"There is something going on in the yamen."

"Oh……"

Lin Yulan took off her boots and threw them aside, and asked, "Is Ah Yu good today?"

"Of course Ah Yu is good, how about you?"

Lin Yulan said: "Yunlang, Your Majesty... I, um... Your Majesty has already deployed manpower in Qinchuan, preparing to encroach on Qinchuan's rebellious party."

Xiao Yunlang sighed softly: "I know, it's not in vain that Second Brother suffered that injury."

Lin Yulan said in a low voice: "Yunlang, the emperor asked me what reward I want."

Xiao Yunlang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "We don't lack anything, let's talk about it later when we think about it."

Lin Yulan also didn't have the heart to take credit for her pride. It is really not easy for the Lin family to be here now, and they can't withstand any turmoil. It's best to be flat. Xiao Yunlang lay on the bed and said: "I feel a little backache when I hold the baby today, rub it for me. .”

Lin Yulan couldn't help smiling, he knelt beside Xiao Yunlang and rubbed it for him, the room was very warm, so Xiao Yunlang took off his white underwear and lay down between two soft quilts, Lin Yulan frowned while rubbing his back Said: "It's a little red, take a good rest these few days, don't go out, and don't be tired."

Xiao Yunlang said: "I see, hey, I will make up for it tomorrow."

Lin Yulan pinched the flesh on the side of his waist, Xiao Yunlang screamed, turned sideways and said dissatisfiedly: "Itchy."

His eyes were bright, as if they were misty with water. Lin Yulan was itching to see him, but Xiao Yunlang had already turned around and said, "I really gained a lot of weight. I didn't have any fat on my body before. Fat."

Xiao Yunlang was a little tired from lying on his stomach, so he moved, his feet were propped up and swayed casually. Lin Yulan held his ankles and said in a low voice, "What's the smell? It smells so good."

Xiao Yunlang smiled and said: "It's the rose ointment that my mother didn't use. My second brother and I went to say hello that day, and my mother was telling the maid that she didn't like the smell. My second brother and I brought a box back. I wiped my hands and feet, and it was very slippery and comfortable."

Lin Yulan touched the soles of Xiao Yunlang's feet, Xiao Yunlang hurriedly retracted his feet under the quilt, and said angrily, "You know I'm ticklish."

Lin Yulan lay down beside him, Xiao Yunlang yawned and said, "I had a fight with my second sister-in-law today."

"……What's wrong?"

Xiao Yunlang got into Lin Yulan's quilt, held his arms and told him about the quarrel between the two today, and finally, Xiao Yunlang sighed: "You know I don't spare money, I gave all our belongings to the second room leader back then. I didn't even blink when I left, I was just angry. Why does the second sister-in-law now take it for granted that the family property we two have accumulated with great difficulty should belong to her? Our shop earns a lot of money, but I have never forgotten it. It saved the danger when we went to the south to buy tea."

Lin Yulan patted him on the back and said, "I will handle it."

The next day, before Xiao Yunlang woke up, Lin Yulan got up. He bent down and looked at Xiao Yunlang again. The side yard went to knock on the door. Yang went back yesterday, knowing that she was wrong, and didn't tell Lin Yuming anything, but Lin Yuming knew that it was not a good thing when she saw Lin Yulan's face.

But after one night, Yang seemed to hate him more and more, and felt that it was useless for him to be frightened by that little bastard Xiao Yunlang, so what if he is the son of the uncle's mansion?Marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, he is now the Lin family, living with the Lin family, the eldest couple is dead, and he is the elder sister-in-law, so he should be in this family.

As soon as she saw Lin Yulan, she said eccentrically that their family of five lived in such a small courtyard, the sun was not good, and it was too crowded. She said that she and Lin Yuming were getting older, and it was time for them to enjoy happiness, but their lives were not good. , now anyone can step on a few feet.

Lin Yulan waited for her to finish, and said calmly: "Second sister-in-law, I also mean the same thing. Yunlang has a Zhuangzi in the countryside. The house is very spacious and there is a big yard. There is no manpower here to take care of you. The country people are simple and honest. If there is something to tell, many people are willing to help."

Mrs. Yang glanced at Lin Yuming, and Lin Yuming said dissatisfiedly, "Third brother, are you going to drive us to the countryside?"

"Second brother, we two are close brothers, Zhaoru has not yet married, I should take care of your family, but this family is not earned by me, but by Yunlang, and everything in the house belongs to Yunlang. I don't mean to drive you to the countryside, but sooner or later Zhaoru will start a family and start a business on his own, and his two nieces will also have a place where they can get married. Second brother, I am willing to pay the capital, and you are willing to start a business. No matter renting a house, the money you earn belongs to you.”

Lin Yuming said in a deep voice, "What about Zhaojing?"

"Zhaojing is naturally the same."

Lin Yuming didn't speak, and Yang asked anxiously, "Should we pay back the money?"

Lin Yulan paused for a moment, and said, "Let's talk slowly after the second brother and Ah Jing have earned back the principal."

This meaning is no different from giving away for free, Yang is slightly satisfied, and is about to continue bargaining—she doesn't care who gave Xiao Yunlang's house in the suburbs of Beijing whether it can be sold or not, as long as she likes it, it's hers, or she can buy it first. "Borrow" to live here, and when she lives in it, it will be hers.

Before Yang could speak, Lin Yuming said, "Third brother, how much money and land, the second brother actually doesn't care about it. We have indeed suffered a lot in the past few years in exile. I missed it the most when I was in the northwest. Yes, it’s not to return to Beijing to enjoy the blessings, but to find you and continue to be a family with you. At that time, I didn’t know that you had set up such a large family property. Eating bran swallow vegetables is also sweet."

Lin Yulan's heart was sour, the second elder brother was much older, and his eyes were a little cloudy, Yang Shi said dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean..." Lin Yuming glanced over, Yang Shi didn't dare to say more, hated She went out, but that's okay, she thought, she hasn't gotten anything good from Xiao Yunlang yet.

When Lin Yulan went out, she saw Lin Zhaoru standing outside with her shoulders hunched, Lin Yulan asked, "Zhaoru, what are your plans?"

Lin Zhaoru looked at him timidly, and then lowered his head. Lin Yulan felt a little disappointed, and he said, "If you want to study, you can do it, or you can find a shopkeeper and learn how to calculate accounts. It will be a way out in the future."

Lin Zhaoru asked softly: "Sisters... are the sisters still with little uncle?"

"Ah."

Lin Zhaoru said: "Please, little uncle, take care of them for a few more days."

Lin Yulan nodded and said, "Okay."

Xiao Yunlang didn't mean to chase Yang Shi and the others away, as long as Yang Shi didn't come to trouble him, it wouldn't matter if they temporarily lived in the east courtyard. For some reason, Xiao Yunlang always felt jealous of Lin Zhaojing, probably because of Lin Zhaojing's past few days. Years have changed too much, like a stranger appearing in front of them, every time they come into contact with each other, Xiao Yunlang is a little inexplicably terrified.

One afternoon, a visitor came to the Lin residence, and Xiao Yunlang was pleasantly surprised when he heard what the maid said, "Second cousin is here?"

Yuan Ruheng has been disturbed by things in the palace these days, and he often goes out to relax. This day, he came to Xiao Yunlang's place. Xiao Yunlang said with a smile: "Why is the second cousin coming here when you have time? Yulan is out. Did the second cousin eat?" ?”

Yuan Ruheng said: "I haven't eaten yet, didn't I come here for you?"

Xiao Yunlang went to order the kitchen to prepare more meals, Yuan Ruheng looked around and said: "Your place is really good, it seems that you have put a lot of thought into it."

"Of course, I asked the craftsmen to make it for a long time."

The two cousins ​​were talking, Yuan Ruheng ate some cakes and casually talked about the affairs of the palace, Xiao Yunlang frowned while sighing, and finally said: "Second cousin, do you know who deliberately targeted you?"

"I don't say it's very accurate, but I know it almost. People behind the scenes will never make fun of their own bodies, so after excluding Concubine Mu, there are only a few left."

Xiao Yunlang nodded, Yuan Ruheng said: "I've been very tired recently, and I don't bother to take care of it anymore, let the emperor deal with it."

Xiao Yunlang said with a smile: "That's right, the second cousin has worked hard enough, let's leave him alone."

The two cousins ​​became interested in chatting, Xiao Yunlang wanted to set a table, Yuan Ruheng also felt a little hungry, and smiled and told Xiao Yunlang that the food should be richer, Xiao Yunlang asked someone to go to a restaurant on Qingyun Road not far away to ask for some exquisite food When I came back, I didn’t have to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. After hearing the news, Mrs. Yang rushed over, and before she entered the door, she sneered and said: "It’s nice of you to ask your second brother and his wife to have a cold meal, and you even spend money to ask an outside restaurant to cook it. For food, I want to see where the good rules come from the Jinjiang uncle's mansion."
