ordinary people's house

After Yuan Ruheng finished speaking, he picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of tea, then said with a light smile, "This palace is also a good skill. Since that day, I haven't visited her, and secondly, I haven't sent anyone to deliver any soup. Concubine Mu's Illness, it turned out that I was poisoned by this palace, it's really interesting."

Doctor Qiu said: "As soon as I heard someone say that, I went to the palace to visit you. Your Majesty, according to my opinion, Concubine Mu was indeed poisoned."

"Oh?"

Doctor Qiu said: "I... I have been serving Concubine Mu for many years. Concubine Mu has always been in good health. Since she happened to have a minor illness a while ago, she shouldn't have stayed in bed for so long. I thought that Concubine Mu would move after she moved to the palace. I was depressed, but when I saw it yesterday, Concubine Mu's face was pale, as if she didn't have much time left, and it couldn't be caused by heart disease."

"You keep talking."

"The court order, Imperial Physician Feng, is also suspicious. Although I am ignorant, I also feel that this matter is not simple. Concubine Mu has been ill for many days, why there is such a rumor outside the palace overnight..."

Yuan Ruheng smiled and said: "It's for me. I will write down your feelings. I will make a decree now. No matter whether Concubine Mu is sick or poisonous, you will be in charge of diagnosis and treatment."

Doctor Qiu said: "The minister accepts the order." This matter is risky, but also an opportunity, at least his loyalty to the queen has already seen results.

After Imperial Physician Qiu left, Yuan Ruheng's smile faded away, with a tired expression on his face, he stretched out his hand to rub his forehead, and said, "Yuechan, come here."

"Yes."

"What about the emperor?"

Yuechan respectfully said: "Mr. Hui, at this hour, the emperor is usually dealing with court affairs."

"When he finishes his work, you call him over and say that I have something important to discuss with him."

"The servant knows."

After Yuechan left, Yuan Ruheng flicked the book he was reading, and said, "Forget it, don't wait for him, go out of the palace!"

Lin house.Xiao Yunlang and Lin Yulan sat side by side, and Ah Yu was taken away by the nanny Dongdi to nurse again. The couple had nothing to do and were relatively silent.Xiao Yunlang moved closer to Lin Yulan, and said in a low voice, "Let me tell you something, don't be angry."

"I am not angry."

Xiao Yunlang said: "I think it's not just the second elder brother and his wife, Ah Jing has also changed a lot. The way he looks at people, I always feel a little... sinister."

Lin Yulan was silent for a while, and said, "A lot of things have happened in the past few years."

"I understand, I just... well, I won't say anything."

Lin Yulan rubbed his head, and after a while the kitchen was ready for lunch, Xiao Yunlang said, "Go eat first."

After Xiao Yunlang gave birth to Ah Yu, he had a cup of bird's nest every day to replenish his body. Xiao Yuan was afraid that he would think he was fat and would not eat, so he specially took care of Lin Yulan and asked Lin Yulan to watch him eat well every day. The second room in the courtyard and Lin Zhaojing came to have dinner, Yang glanced over, and said indifferently: "Yo, it's really your young master, you have become ordinary people, and there are bird's nests."

Xiao Yunlang was stunned for a moment, and put down the spoon in his hand. Lin Yulan said flatly, "Yunlang is taking care of himself. These are all sent by his mother-in-law. We ordinary people, how can we afford bird's nest?"

Yang Shi sat down and said dissatisfiedly: "When I gave birth to Ah Lin, I didn't even have enough to eat."

Lin Yulan said: "Second Sister-in-law, since Ah Lin was mentioned, I just wanted to ask, when did our Lin family have the habit of beating children, and Xuan'er is only in her early ten years old, she is skinny, she should be cared for At the age of taking care of her, don't hit her again."

Yang said sharply: "What kind of family are we? We still take good care of them. That bitch doesn't do any work. He only knows how to eat and play. The two of you are surrounded by dozens of servants. Only one of our family of five can do everything. A girl who can't do it serves, what should we do if she doesn't work?"

Xiao Yunlang frowned and said: "Second sister-in-law, we don't have many people to serve us. There are only so many people in the house. I can count them all. I and Yulan were also thinking about buying servants for use, but we haven't been free, so we put This matter has been put on hold for the time being, if the second sister-in-law needs help, I'll ask them to go over and help."

Yang groaned, lowered her head to pick up the rice, Xiao Yunlang's chest was still stuffed, Lin Yulan looked at the silent second brother in disappointment, pulled him up and said, "Let's go back and eat, second brother, The second sister-in-law can help herself."

Mrs. Yang said something behind them, Xiao Yunlang shook off Lin Yulan's hand, and walked away angrily, until he reached the main courtyard, Lin Yulan apologized: "I'm sorry Yunlang..."

"I'm not mad at you."

Lin Yulan sat down and said calmly, "I don't think it's suitable for us to live together. Otherwise, we should find another house for them to live separately."

Xiao Yunlang said: "Let's wait and see, maybe the second sister-in-law will adapt to the life in Beijing after a while... just fine."

After a while, Dong Bai came to report, and Wu Siquan from the Wu family brought his newlywed wife to pay his respects to his second uncle and eldest cousin. Xiao Yunlang curled his lips and said, "I don't want to go out, you go and have a look."

Lin Yulan nodded and said, "Okay."

Lin Yuzhen naturally didn't care about the second brother. After Wu Siquan heard the news, he bought some gifts and brought his wife to pay his respects to his uncle. Lin Yuming and Yang hadn't finished their meal yet, only Lin Zhaojing was in the west courtyard, Wu Siquan walked in under the leadership of the maid, Lin Zhaojing sat in the yard, wondering what was going on.

Wu Siquan was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Big cousin."

"Hmm..." Lin Zhaojing looked over and said in a flat tone, "It's Siquan."

Wu Siquan put down his things and said, "I'll come and see you, cousin."

Li Shifu said, "I've seen my cousin."

Lin Zhaojing glanced at her, and said, "I haven't congratulated you yet. It turns out that my cousin is married. Unfortunately, my cousin has nothing to congratulate you on."

Wu Siquan said apologetically: "Big cousin, today I also want to say goodbye, and I will leave Beijing in a few days."

Lin Zhaojing didn't say anything, but looked cold.

After Wu Siquan and Li Shi went out, Li Shi took a look at him, but Wu Siquan was so preoccupied that he didn't realize that at the second uncle's place, Yang Shi first pointed at his nose and scolded Lin Yuzhen and the Wu family as wolf-hearted, and then said nothing. Unceremoniously left what he brought.

Wu Siquan was physically and mentally exhausted, and he said to Lin Yulan, "Little uncle, now I have fulfilled all my etiquette, and I won't come here before I leave Beijing."

"……it is good."

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "I'm going to pay my respects to my uncle, we've been married for so long, and we haven't come to see Brother Ah Yu yet."

Lin Yulan wasn't sure whether Xiao Yunlang was willing to see her, so she said, "The sun is shining at this time, and the nanny might go out for a walk with Ah Yu in her arms. After a while, ask your uncle to bring Ah Yu over."

Li Shi said: "I don't want to bother my uncle, it's just a coincidence that we came, and my uncle also knows the situation in our family. This time, Siquan and I came out without telling my mother."

Lin Yulan had no interest in the affairs of the Wu family. Seeing his expression, Mrs. Li said nothing more. The young couple said goodbye politely. Lin Yulan knew that Wu Siquan had been transferred to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it would be good to lead troops under Wang Yangdong's brother.The year before last, when Wu Siquan followed Zhao Zonglai to make amends to him, he was still an aggressive young man. Lin Yulan looked at Wu Siquan now, he was several years younger than herself, but he was full of decadence-like incompetence. His father, his selfish mother, his fiancée, his fiancée, his new wife who is forbearing and introverted, Lord Marquis, Mrs. Marquis...these people are all on top of him.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Yang came to the main courtyard, Xiao Yunlang was holding the child to look at the income of the shop, and Lin Yulan went out.

Yang's face changed, and he asked Xiao Yunlang what he was looking at with a smile, and reached out to touch Ah Yu's face. Xiao Yunlang's hands holding the child trembled, Yang's hands were very rough, and Ah Yu's face was shaky. The small piece quickly became popular, and Xiao Yunlang's heart ached so much that he didn't hear what Yang said.

Yang said dissatisfied: "Yunlang, I'm still your sister-in-law, why don't you want to see me like that?"

Just now Xiao Yunlang wanted to hide with the child in his arms, but it was too obvious when he hid, making people feel that he disliked his second sister-in-law. Now he is regretting, what is more important than Ah Yu, now Ah Yu wants to cry or not, It was very pitiful, Xiao Yunlang's heart was going to be broken, but fortunately Ah Yu got better after a while, and continued to play with his hands, just as Xiao Yunlang heard Yang's anger say: "You look at this is also a child, you can't see gold Come!"

Xiao Yunlang was taken aback, Yang Shi sat down with a cold snort, Xiao Yunlang suppressed his anger and asked, "Second sister-in-law, what's the matter with you?"

"I said, those two girls are still with you?"

Xiao Yunlang said: "Xuan'er has injuries."

Yang said indifferently: "What's wrong with the injury? She found it herself."

Seeing her indifferent manner, Xiao Yunlang knew that she didn't come here for the child. Sure enough, Mrs. Yang coughed lightly and asked, "Yunlang, who is this house under now?"

Xiao Yunlang blinked and said, "It's mine."

Yang looked a little uncomfortable, Xiao Yunlang didn't know what she was thinking, and said: "Second sister-in-law should remember that this house is my mother's dowry."

"... Wasn't it a small house before?" Yang whispered.

Xiao Yunlang didn't speak, Yang said again: "I heard that our family is doing big business now."

"There is no big business, only two shops."

Mrs. Yang clapped her hands and said, "That's it, I'm afraid it's making money every day."

Xiao Yunlang shook his head and said, "Selling some tea, how can it be possible to make a lot of money every day, just barely make ends meet."

Yang said: "Yunlang, you don't know how to be a sister-in-law. How can there be any business that can make money like tea? Those odds and ends are shipped from the south of the Yangtze River. Anything is worth thousands of taels a catty."

"It's because the purchase price is expensive that the sale is expensive. Ordinary tea leaves are expensive for one or two kilograms."

Yang didn't listen to his explanation, and said, "I heard that these two shops belong to Yulan?"

Xiao Yunlang pursed his lower lip and said, "What does the second sister-in-law mean, just tell me directly."

"What can I mean?" Yang said with a smile, "Since it belongs to Yulan, it is our Lin family's family business. Since it is the Lin family's family business, it has something to do with our second room. The boss died, and the Lin family should have It's Yuming who is the head of the house, that is, when you were in the Hou's mansion, your third bedroom only knew how to spend money, and our second bedroom took care of the general affairs in the mansion, you have to admit that."

Xiao Yunlang didn't know what expression to put on, but Yang was still chattering, "That's the reason, we are the same as before, Yuming and I take care of the housework, and you two just take care of the money, so you can relax happily. "

Xiao Yunlang took a deep breath and said, "Second sister-in-law, I don't know where you found out that the shop is Yulan's, but you should understand that when the house was raided, all the property of the Lin family was confiscated, and the shop was run by Yulan, but It's the principal from our Xiao family, the two of us don't care under whose name the shop is, it has nothing to do with you."

Yang said angrily: "What do you mean? It means that our Lin family wants to take your things! Hmph, I am also from an official family, so I can't be a person with shallow eyesight, but it's just for the sake of our family."

Xiao Yunlang couldn't talk to her, so he simply stopped talking. Anyway, the things were in his hands, and Yang couldn't take them away, but what Yang said became more and more difficult to hear, Xiao Yunlang finally couldn't help but said: "Second sister-in-law, since you want to settle the score , then let’s count. When you were exiled and didn’t have any money, how much did I sell my dowry to give to you? Even my last few good clothes I gave to my second brother and Zhaojing Zhaoru, It’s worth a few thousand taels, have you spent all of these three years?”
