Ling Ruoyun just wanted to follow the Buddha's younger brother's family, but he didn't expect Xu Wu to be so ruthless, and tears fell down the ground.

Xiaolian thought for a while and said, "Madam, forgive the slave and maid, I think the lord also has consideration for not letting his uncle and wife live in the house with a few cousins." ”

Ling Ruoyun looked up at Xiaolian and said, "What did you say?" ”

Xiaolian said: "Madam, you are kind, but can you let your uncle and wife live in the mansion for a lifetime?" ”

Ling Ruoyun wiped away her tears and said, "I just want them to live in the mansion for a while, and then let them move out when the rumor passes." ”

Xiaolian said very bluntly: "Madam, once they get used to the life in our house, it will be difficult for them to move out, and even if they move out, it will not be easy to adapt to the outside environment." Rather than that, don't let them live in the house in the first place. ”

Ling Ruoyun sobbed and said, "I understand the reason, but the children are so young, and there is no man in the family to hold up the door, and if you live outside, you will definitely be bullied." "She is a poor nephew and niece.

Xiaolian persuaded: "Madam, just take more care of it when the time comes." "Although he is a lady's housekeeper, this family member is a master. The lord didn't want his uncle and wife to live in, and the lady couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't go against the lord's will.

Ling Ruoyun asked Xiaolian to fetch water in, and she cried so much that she spent her makeup just now. After cleaning his face and retouching his makeup, Ling Ruoyun also calmed down.

Xiaolian saw Ling Ruoyun sitting on the stool in a daze, and said, "Madam, don't think about it, it's useless to think about this matter too much." ”

Ling Ruoyun shook his head and said, "I was so sad just now, I lost my sense of proportion for a while. The old man is not afraid of things, nor is he such a stingy person who is reluctant to pay money, and with his temperament, he should not prevent his younger siblings from living in the house with a few children for a while. ”

Xiaolian asked, "What do you mean, madam?" ”

Ling Ruoyun squeezed the poplar comb tightly and said in a cold voice, "Zhao, I'm afraid there is something inappropriate. ”

Xiaolian didn't understand: "Madam, what's wrong with Mrs. Uncle?" After speaking, Xiaolian's face turned pale: "What does Madam mean, my uncle's corruption and bribery are related to my uncle's wife?" ”

Ling Ruoyun also hoped that this speculation was wrong, but Xu Wu's attitude made her have to think more: "Apart from this reason, I can't think of any other reason why the master is so strongly opposed to letting their mother and son live in the mansion for a while." ”

Xiaolian thought for a while and said, "Madam, then when the master comes back, you can ask carefully." ”

Originally, it was Xu Wu's shift this night, but he didn't worry about Ling Ruoyun and Xu Daniu's shift. When I returned home, I was relieved to see that Ling Ruoyun was in a stable mood.

Ling Ruoyun asked directly: "Master, is the reason why Ruoyuan is corrupt and accepts bribes related to the Zhao family?" "Her brother is not a money-loving person, but the Zhao family attaches great importance to money.

Xu Wu was a little surprised, nodded under Ling Ruoyun's gaze and said, "Yes." Half a year ago, Ling Ruoyuan tried a lawsuit over family property, and the Zhao family received three hundred taels of silver from one of the parties. She thought she was doing it secretly, but she didn't want this matter to fall into the eyes of people with a heart...... "Ling Ruoyuan was caught by someone, and she could only be controlled by others.

Ling Ruoyun regretted it when she heard this: "If I knew earlier, I shouldn't have let them out." ”

Xu Wu's opinion is completely different: "If you don't stand upright, even if you don't release it, something will happen." The reason why I didn't allow the Zhao family to live in the mansion was because I was afraid that she would affect several children by living in the mansion. ”

Ling Ruoyun heard this and said, "If the master had told me earlier, I wouldn't have dared to let her live in." "If the source falls into this field, she is all harmed.

Xu Wu said: "In fact, although this incident is the cause of the Zhao family, the fundamental problem is still on him. ”

Ling Ruoyun smiled bitterly: "It's my fault, I didn't teach him well, and I didn't marry him a good daughter-in-law." "The Zhao family is in Ling Ruoyun's phase.

Xu Wu shook his head and said, "That's not what I said. If he acts with principles and bottom lines, how can he be swayed by a woman? "It's like many people say that the prince is afraid of the princess and is obedient to the princess, but in fact, this is all misinformation. In general, the prince will follow the princess, but if it involves matters of principle, the prince will not give in half a step.

Ling Ruoyun smiled bitterly: "The master is right, if you want to blame Ruoyuan for not holding it himself, just follow what the master said, buy them a small house, and give them some money to live." "Shengmi endou Mi hate, just like Zhao, she doesn't want to give it even if she has money. And she has her own home, so she can't not want her own small family for the sake of her mother's family.

Also on this day, Yuxi received letters from Yunqing, Qihao and Zaojube. Among them, Qi Hao said a lot of things in the letter, including interesting anecdotes in the army and some of his feelings.

In the evening, Brother You asked, "Mother, I heard that my father wrote a letter back." Mother, what did my father say to my eldest brother in the letter? ”

Yuxi smiled and said, "Your eldest brother said that riding a horse on the grassland is completely different from riding a horse in the school training ground. "The grassland is boundless, you can gallop horses, and you can only go around in circles in the school training ground, which is naturally different.

Brother Rui felt very regretful: "It's a pity that we can't ride horses on the grassland with my eldest brother. "The feeling of galloping and flying in the wind must be very cool.

Yuxi smiled and said, "Don't worry, you are still young, and there will be opportunities in the future." ”

Brother You asked suspiciously: "Mother, why didn't my father and eldest brother write to us?" Is the war ahead tense? ”

Yuxi shook his head and said: "The war hasn't started yet, your father only led the army to set off five days ago, and it will take a while to wait until the battle starts!" "The nests of the northern captives are deep in the grasslands, and they are very mobile, and if they find something wrong, they can run away without a trace overnight. This is also why everyone does not have great expectations for Yunqing to send troops to attack the Northern Captivity.

Liu Er said: "Mother, I want to go to Daxing Temple to offer incense and ask the Bodhisattva to bless my father with peace and smoothness." ”

Brother You sneered: "If the Bodhisattva really has a spirit, there will be no dead people in this world." "Brother You is deeply influenced by Yuxi and does not believe in Buddhism.

Yuxi scolded Brother You'er: "Ayou, you can not believe in Buddhism, but you can't speak wildly." ”

Brother You'er sighed, but he didn't say anything.

Turning his head, Yuxi said to Liu Er: "I'm glad that you have this heart, but now Daxing Temple is mixed with fish and dragons, don't go for the time being." ”

Niu Jingyi was escorted back to Hocheng for execution, and the Niu family was also sold by the government. The other people involved in the case were also punished separately. This embezzlement case is officially over here.

It's not that no one has impeached Han Jianming, but he was left behind by Yuxi. Therefore, Niu Jingyi's case had no other impact except for some criticism of Han Jianming.

It was very late, and Han Jianming was about to go to bed after a busy day, and at this time, Han Gao asked to see him.

Han Gao didn't come alone, but came in with his son Han Xiaoyu. As soon as he entered the house, Han Gao pulled his son to kneel on the ground and confessed.

Han Jianming frowned and said, "What happened?" "Han Gao is one of his most relied on henchmen, and he is very cautious on weekdays and will not cause trouble for him, so there is a good chance that the problem will be with Han Xiaoyu.

Han Gao looked at Han Xiaoyu and said sharply: "Son, don't hurry up and return what you have done to your master." ”

In fact, it was not Han Xiaoyu who really did something wrong, but Brother Chang. After Chang Ge'er saw Niu Jingyi's daughter Niu Qinghe, he fell in love with her. knew that Niu Qinghe was sold into the music shop and couldn't bear it, so he ransomed her and placed her outside.

Han Jianming's face changed slightly, and he asked, "When did this happen?" ”

Han Xiaoyu lowered his head and said, "Three days ago, I ransomed people and placed them in Bamboo Lane. Tonight, the uncle wanted to go to Bamboo Lane to visit Miss Niu again, but the little one was afraid that something would happen, so he dispelled the idea of the uncle and went home. When Han Xiaoyu went home, it happened that Han Gao was also there, and when he saw that his expression was wrong, he asked a few words, but he didn't expect to ask such a big thing.

Han Jianming was furious in his heart and went to Brother Chang'er's yard in person. At this time, Brother Chang had not slept yet, and was in the study.

No one was allowed to pass through, and Han Jianming went directly into the study. I saw Brother Chang looking at a picture of a lady on the table. The woman in the painting is Niu Qinghe.

Han Jianming endured the anger in his heart and asked, "When did you think about this cow?" ”

Brother Chang saw Han Jianming's face turned white with fright, and he trembled and shouted: "Father, ......" Han Jianming was very strict with Brother Chang, causing Brother Chang to be very afraid of him.

Han Jianming couldn't control the anger in his heart anymore when he looked at him like this: "You are not small, you actually sent someone to Lefang to ransom people, and you dare to arrange it outside after ransoming people." "Brother Chang'er's behavior is no different from the outer room.

Brother Chang didn't expect Han Jianming to know so quickly: "Father, I just can't bear to let the cow girl fall into the dirty place of Lefang." "From the daughter of the official family to the ninth-rate place such as Le Fang, it is better to live than to die.

Han Jianming sneered: "You will pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." But do you know that if this matter is known, not only will the Han family's face be lost, but even the princess will be criticized. "In addition, it is difficult for Brother Chang to marry a good relative.

In fact, Han Jianming's words are a bit alarmist, even if the matter of Brother Chang'er's purchase of the outer room spreads, it will not involve Yuxi for half a point.

Brother Chang is not an ignorant person, but he has his own insistence: "Father, I can't let her fall into the music square." Otherwise, I won't be able to feel at ease for the rest of my life. ”

Han Jianming's face was very ugly: "Who is she?" What does it matter to you that she fell into the music room? ”

Brother Chang glanced up at Han Jianming, and then lowered his head again: "Grandmother told me." ”

Han Jianming didn't react for a while, and asked, "What did your grandmother tell you?" ”

Brother Chang said in a mosquito-like voice: "Grandmother said that my father took a fancy to the girl of the Niu family and wanted to hire her son as his wife. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have paid attention to Niu Qinghe.

Han Jianming was really angry and angry when he heard this, but he restrained his emotions and said: "At first, I had this idea, but later I found out that the girl of the Niu family was not suitable for you, so I dispelled this idea, but I didn't expect that you would have been thinking about it." "His mother is really getting older and more confused, and before the matter is settled, she will talk nonsense in front of the child, otherwise where would there be this incident.

Brother Chang hung his head and said, "I know, grandmother told me." But...... Father, I just don't want her to stay in that ninth-rate place, and I don't have any other ideas. "There was a period of time between the time I knew about it and the time the marriage didn't work out. And he fell in love with Niu Qinghe during this time. However, Brother Chang also knows very well that Niu Qinghe is now an official slave and has entered the music workshop, and he is not even qualified to be a concubine.

Han Jianming said: "You don't have any other ideas? Then why do you want to go to Bamboo Lane to see Niu Qinghe in the afternoon? ”

Brother Chang didn't expect Han Xiaoyu to sell him completely: "Father, I just want to see how she is doing now?" "It's one thing to be intellectual, it's another thing to be emotional.

Han Jianming said expressionlessly: "You disappointed me too much. "As the heir, Brother Chang is really unqualified.

Brother Chang lowered his head and did not speak.

Han Jianming panicked when he saw this, how could he rest assured that he would hand over this Han family to him in the future. Leave it to him, maybe the Han family will fall again in less than ten years.

Thinking of this, Han Jianming felt that the matter of remarriage should also be put on the agenda, and if he married a wife, he would be able to give birth to a son-in-law earlier. In this way, there is one more option.

Putting these thoughts down, Han Jianming said: "I will solve Niu Qinghe's matter, don't worry about it in the future." During this time, you also gave me An'an minutes to stay at home and review my homework. "I have to settle Brother Chang'er's marriage as soon as possible, and when I become a relative, my heart will settle down.

Brother Chang was a little worried, but he didn't have the courage to resist Han Jianming: "Yes." ”

Out of Brother Chang'er's yard, Han Jianming went to the upper courtyard to look for Qiu's, and Qiu's hadn't slept at this time.

Qiu Shi saw Han Jianming and asked, "Ming'er, is there anything urgent?" ”

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "It's nothing." Mother, why haven't you slept so late? Didn't the doctor tell you to take good care of your body? ”

Qiu shook his head and said, "I can't sleep if I go to bed too early, so why don't I recite the scriptures!" Qiu asked for an hour of scripture every night, and after reading the scripture, she slept very soundly.

After saying this, Qiu Shi asked, "Ming'er, have you encountered anything difficult?" If you have anything to say, don't hold it in your heart. ”

Han Jianming deliberately smiled bitterly and said, "Mother, it's really inconvenient to have no housewife at home. "Since you are going to get married, you have to tell the Qiu family sooner or later. But in the future, he wasn't going to tell Qiu about anything important.

Qiu Shi was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked, "Whose girl do you value?" She hopes that Han Jianming will have someone around him who knows cold and hot.

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "No! But I'm so old, as long as the other party has a good character, a gentle temper, and can manage the family. "No matter how much, he doesn't pick it.

Qiu Shi doesn't think so, her appearance, talent, temperament and temperament can't be bad, otherwise she won't be able to look down on her: "What are you talking about?" Since you want to marry again, you naturally want to marry a good one. "Although my son is older, he is in a high position. That's all there is to it, what kind of daughter-in-law can't marry.

Han Jianming didn't argue with the Qiu family, and said with a smile: "Okay, listen to my mother." "However, he will not look for it according to the conditions of the Qiu clan. Otherwise, you may not be able to find a satisfactory one after three years.
