ordinary people's house

Xiao Yunlang didn't realize it, he supported Mrs. Du's arm and said with a smile: "Has grandma seen eldest brother's new house?"

Mrs. Du smiled and said: "Not yet, a group of us will go, for fear that Mu Lang will be annoyed."

"Brother, how dare you, I came here just to tell my father that I am building a house there, and there are many people coming and going. I think it is noisy, and I want to bring the maids back to live for a while."

Xiao Su said: "Ask someone to tidy up your yard later."

"Well, I see. Grandma, don't leave, wait for the Meiyuan to be tidied up, you go and sit down, and after my house is repaired, I invite you to go and play."

Madam Du looked at him and smiled, "Yun Lang has really grown up."

Xiao Yunlang felt a little embarrassed. Mrs. Du patted his hand and continued to discuss Xiao Mulang's marriage with Xiao Su. Mrs. Yuan is a virtuous person, but after all, she has never experienced such a big event. It is Xiao Su and Xiao Yuan who invited Mrs. Du to take care of it. The meaning of the husband and wife.Xiao Mulang is the elder of Mrs. Du's grandson, so Mrs. Du naturally would not refuse, so she brought someone here today.

Xiao Yunlang followed the two of them, listening to Xiao Su and Mrs. Du talking about the details of the wedding. Mrs. Du listened patiently and asked from time to time. The elders made preparations, the two had known each other for a long time before they got married, and there was no shyness about newlyweds. After the guests were driven away noisily, Xiao Yunlang went to eat two fruits. After gnawing, he turned around and smiled: "All gone?"

……

Mrs. Du said: "October is the best time, and the golden autumn is full of fruits. If it is still hot at this time, I am afraid that the newcomers will not be able to bear it after all the etiquette. The wisteria courtyard is not small, and it is also very suitable for a new house. It's just that I think Mu Lang's yard is still too empty, so we might as well put more things, Mu Lang doesn't like these things, but we can't make the guests feel too shabby."

Xiao Su sighed lightly and said, "There is one more thing I need to ask my mother-in-law."

"You just say it."

Xiao Su said: "To tell my mother-in-law, after you and father-in-law left Beijing, Uncle Jinjiang's mansion and several brothers-in-law's family have no contact with each other. This time Mu Lang's marriage is a big event in my mansion, you see..."

Mrs. Du smiled and said, "You mean the family of Wu'er's second and third sisters?"

"Yes."

Mrs. Du casually said: "They wanted to avoid disaster at the beginning, so they avoided it early. How can there be such a good thing in this world? A few days ago, the two of them came to pay my respects to me, and I followed it well. After all, they belonged to the Duke. Flesh and blood, I just want to put my face down to serve them, I can't do it."

Xiao Su smiled slightly, Madam Du glanced at Qi Yunruo, and suddenly said: "Speaking of this... I heard that the fifth girl..."

Xiao Su was taken aback for a moment, and said in astonishment: "How did mother-in-law know about this?"

Madam Du sarcastically said, "I don't know how the sixth girl found out, so she let someone pass it on to me, the old woman."

Xiao Su was ashamed, lowered his head and said, "This matter is because my son-in-law didn't handle it properly."

Xiao Yunlang pricked up his ears to listen, and Mrs. Du smiled and said, "Yunlang, you go to the wisteria courtyard to find your elder brother, and wait for grandma."

"Oh..." Although Xiao Yunlang was still curious, he still walked away step by step.

Mrs. Du suppressed her smile, and said indifferently: "At first, the news of Wu'er's death just went to the Northwest for a few days. Although I was sad, I knew that you must have a mistress in your house. No matter how careful you are as a man, it is difficult to take care of the house. In the future, when Mu Lang and Du Lang get married, someone will take care of it, so I just thought of finding a suitable one among the girls at home who can manage the back house of the uncle's mansion for you. From the beginning, I took a fancy to Yu'er, I see Seeing that she is more lively now, in the past she was often rubbed by her mother in the house. I like her quiet and sensible, but I feel sorry for her being oppressed by her mother all the time. good day..."

Xiao Su didn't know this before, so he listened quietly.

Mrs. Du continued: "However, I just had this idea, and before I mentioned it to the Duke, I leaked it to the ignorant girl. The fourth aunt in the house immediately took the fifth girl to find the Duke, saying that the fifth girl She's cute and cute, and treats people kindly... Grandpa Guo immediately agreed, and when he came to talk to me in the evening, I told him directly that I had already engaged the fourth girl, Yu'er."

Xiao Su sighed: "Unexpectedly, there are such joints in it."

Mrs. Du shook her head and smiled, and continued: "My lord, he has too many children, and he doesn't care much about which one he likes. He thinks that the fifth girl is good because he listens to what people say. In addition, the fifth girl is filial, and she often makes some pastries by herself. After sending it to him, the Duke believed the fourth aunt. After I explained it clearly to the Duke, he also understood that the most important thing is that there is no reason to marry a younger sister before she is married. Later Yuer came After leaving the capital, you married into the Jinjiang uncle's mansion and became your stepwife. The fifth girl and the fourth aunt always thought that I was a hindrance, and they made things difficult for them, and I couldn't calm down. Now that I think about it, it's fortunate that I stopped the country's father-in-law , otherwise, with Wu Yatou's temperament, won't your house be turned upside down? At that time, you will still have such an actor-born mother-in-law to serve you."

Thinking of that day, Xiao Su felt a little angry, and said to Mrs. Du: "Since the mother-in-law already knows, my son-in-law will not hide it from you. The fifth aunt was only teens when she left Beijing, and my son-in-law hadn't seen her for a few years." Once, I don't know how this young lady came up with the idea. The son-in-law told Yu'er a few days ago that if the fifth aunt gets married, the uncle's house will also provide a dowry, but if the fifth aunt has other ideas... As for Regarding mother-in-law, son-in-law will only recognize you in this life."

Madam Du nodded and said nothing else.

When Madam Du was young, she was still a bit arrogant, and she looked down on Yuan Shenyan who had one concubine and another concubine. Later, she had her own children, and she had to spend a lot of energy to take care of her eldest son Shengyi and daughter Wu'er, and she felt very resentful Much weaker, Yuan Shenyan didn't have the face to ask Mrs. Du to take care of those sons and daughters.In fact, even if Mrs. Du agreed, she would not be able to take care of her.

Most of Yuan Shenyan's favorite weak women came from humble backgrounds, just like the Fourth Aunt was originally an actress. The girls taught by such a woman will not be able to guarantee their character. The former Fourth Miss, now the little Yuan can be regarded as is an exception.

Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Ji were talking in front, and Mrs. Ji hadn't come to the uncle's house for many years. She held Mrs. Yuan's hand and talked about Xiao Mulang's marriage with a smile. Went to the shadow of the silent concubine in the mansion, and talked calmly, Ji liked it even more.It's just that the fifth and sixth girls in the back were about to burst into flames with jealousy, not to mention the fifth girl's concubine who thought that Xiao Yuan had robbed her of her good match. He felt that if he married his eldest brother-in-law as a follow-up, such a large mansion would be his own. How could Fourth Sister be better than herself?

Little Yuan Shizheng said with a smile: "Fortunately, I have my mother and sister-in-law to help me. The young master is not only the eldest son of the uncle's family, but also holds an important position. When we get married, many high-ranking officials and dignitaries will come from Beijing. Ask me to come by myself. I will be embarrassing." died."

Ji said: "When Du Lang gets married in the future, you will have points."

"At that time, I still have to trouble my mother and sister-in-law." Little Yuan smiled, "If there is anything that needs me in the palace, sister-in-law can just tell me, and the second young master will call me fourth aunt anyway."

"After Mu Lang's marriage is over, I will have to ask you to help..."

Little Yuan waved her hand and asked someone to bring some ladies and Ms. Sun to drink tea. The banquet was about to start soon. Yuan Yuer gave her a hateful look. Little Yuan noticed it, but couldn't care about it.

Xiao Yunlang went to Xiao Mulang's side, and said dissatisfiedly: "Grandmother doesn't know what to tell father, but she didn't let me know."

Lin Yulan brought a plate of plums, Xiao Yunlang picked them up and ate them, Xiao Mulang smiled and said, "Eat your plums, grandma may have something to discuss with father."

Xiao Yunlang finished eating the plums in a short while, raised his head and said, "Is there any more?"

Lin Yulan also tasted one, and asked doubtfully, "Don't you feel sour?"

Xiao Yunlang said with a bitter face: "I often feel that my diet is not balanced recently, and my stomach is uncomfortable. I can eat some sour to suppress it. I also feel sour, but once I eat it, it's not enough."

Lin Yulan said helplessly: "I said I want to invite a doctor, but you still don't allow it..."

Xiao Mulang was about to say something when the servant girl knocked on the door and said, "Eldest young master, Mrs. Du and the master invite the young master to come over and say they have something to talk to the young master and his wife."

Xiao Mulang stood up, took Xiao Yunlang and said, "Let's go together."

"it is good."

Xiao Mulang looked at Xiao Yunlang carefully all the way, this time Xiao Yunlang and Lin Yulan were walking in front hand in hand, and he didn't notice it all the time. When they arrived at the main courtyard, Xiao Yunlang trotted towards Madam Du, Madam Du's face changed and she said, "You little enemy, hurry up and slow down!" !"

Xiao Yunlang was stunned for a moment, Madam Du sighed: "I thought you were grown up and sensible, but in the end you neglected even such an important matter."

"Grandma..."

Xiao Su quietly picked up a cup of tea, with an unconcealable smile on her lips, behind Madam Du stood the girl Wen'er who followed Xiao Yunlang, Xiao Yunlang stared at them blankly, Madam Du said helplessly: "This silly child , I don’t even know I’m going to be a father.”

Xiao Yunlang was dumbfounded. He looked down at his flat belly, then raised his head to look at Mrs. Du and his father, "I...but..." Xiao Yunlang opened his mouth, looked down at his belly again, and Stretching out his hand to touch it, "I..." He turned to look at Lin Yulan.

Lin Yulan was stunned by this news, so...so fast?

The couple stared at each other stupidly, which made Mrs. Du amused. Xiao Yunlang woke up like a dream, and said pleasantly: "Yulan! Yulan..." Xiao Yunlang wiped his eyes, he really didn't expect this day to be like this He had arrived a long time ago, even if he had such strange symptoms recently, he never doubted it, because in the first year of marriage, he really couldn't conceive, and he would suspect that he was born with bad fertility.

Lin Yulan regretted it a little. If she had invited the doctor early, they might have known about it.

Mrs. Du called Xiao Yunlang to sit next to her, and said with a smile: "I felt something was wrong when I saw you today. I just asked the girl about your daily life, so I was sure about it. The doctor will come later, you can ask me later. Pay attention."

"En." Xiao Yunlang nodded vigorously, tears still glistened in his eyes.Mrs. Du looked at Lin Yulan and said with a smile: "It's very noisy outside, you two go in and sit down."

"Okay." When Xiao Yunlang stood up, Lin Yulan's eyes widened, and she supported him extremely carefully.

Xiao Yunlang's mood was agitated, and his expression was a little dazed. Lin Yulan carefully supported him, and led him to the back room. After Xiao Yunlang sat down, he smiled and said, "You don't have to be so careful, I don't think it's anything."

"Hmm." Lin Yulan knelt in front of Xiao Yunlang, "Are you still hungry? Or thirsty? I'll ask someone to tell the kitchen what you want for lunch."

Xiao Yunlang smiled and said: "I'm fine, you sit down and we can talk."

"...Okay." Lin Yulan stared at Xiao Yunlang's belly, Xiao Yunlang touched it himself, but didn't notice anything wrong.

Lin Yulan also stretched out her hand, Xiao Yunlang wanted to take a look at his shirt, but Lin Yulan hurriedly said, "No! No!"

Xiao Yunlang smiled, "It seems to be a little different... So it's not because I got fat."

Lin Yulan looked at Xiao Yunlang, was silent for a while, and said, "Thank you, Yunlang."

Xiao Yunlang tilted his head, but did not speak.

Lin Yulan said: "I always feel that the Lin family is gone, I seem to be floating in the sky, I don't know where to fall, and you are the only one holding me, giving me a foundation, now... I feel this power is even heavier Yes, I have you and a child."

Xiao Yunlang took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped the corners of Lin Yulan's eyes, and said with a smile, "When this one comes out of my stomach, let's have a few more, and our family will have a day when the branches and leaves will flourish."

Lin Yulan took Xiao Yunlang's hand, kissed it, nodded and said, "Okay."

Xiao Su invited the imperial physician to come to see him. After seeing it, the imperial physician said with a smile, "Young master has a fetus in his womb, and it has been two months."

Xiao Yunlang blushed a little, and he secretly glanced at Lin Yulan, thinking, if it has been two months, wouldn't it be the first few times...

Lin Yulan looked out of the window uncomfortably, and then looked at Xiao Yunlang through the crowd.

Today Xiao Dulang is in Xishan, not in the mansion, otherwise with his personality, I don't know how much commotion will be caused.Xiao Su originally wanted to ask Xiao Yunlang to stay at home for a few days, and then go back after his house is repaired. Now, he directly asked his servants to go to Lin's house to pack his luggage and come back. Lin Yulan also felt that Xiao Yunlang could get the best care here. Fortunately, he met the old man today. People, if Xiao Yunlang made a noise at home and made a mistake, he would regret it to death.

The masters of the Xiao family got busy, and the misses of the Yuan family were not accompanied for a while, so Miss Yuan Wu stood up impatiently and said, "I'm going out for a walk."

Sixth Miss smiled and said, "Fifth Sister, this is not our mansion after all, and the master is not here, so it's better for us not to walk around casually."

Yuan Yu'er sneered and said: "The head of the Xiao family is our brother-in-law, and the mistress is my sister of the same father and mother. Even if the master is not around, relatives like us are not comparable to ordinary guests."

Sixth Miss thought to herself, how could the Xiao family treat you as a serious relative, but she still said: "Since fifth sister said so, then I can't stop..."

Yuan Yu'er interrupted her and said, "Take it as if I don't know what you're thinking, don't you just want to pretend to be good in front of Madam and be like Fourth Sister? So that Madam can give you a good marriage too."

Miss Six froze, Yuan Concubine took the girl and said coldly, "Let's go out!"

Mrs. Du really forgot about those girls, Ji sent a letter back to the Duke's mansion excitedly, Yuan Shenyan heard the news, but didn't say anything, but immediately asked his servants to prepare horses, Yuan Shengyi also happily followed With his father gone out, Yuan Shengyi only has Wu'er as his biological sister, and Yun Lang is Wu'er's first grandson.

Yuan Ruheng has been driven crazy by the endless list of gifts and etiquette in the house recently. As soon as he knew that his grandfather and father were going out, and asked about the news, he had to keep up with him as soon as he rolled his eyes. He didn't want to be a step late , they had already rode away.Yuan Ruheng was not in a hurry, and slowly asked someone to prepare the carriage, but just as he was about to leave the house, a person jumped up from the carriage.

Yuan Ruheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

"I'll come and see you, where are you going?"

Yuan Ruheng smiled and said: "Go to the Jinjiang uncle's mansion. Cousin Yunlang has good news, and I also want to go to congratulate him."

"Yunlang?" Zhu Xian said with a smile, "I will go with you."
