Qiao'er's face turned even redder, but she still muttered quietly: "I...... I didn't! ”

She herself knew that she had no confidence, and Linglong didn't expose it, and put her arm around her shoulder: "Silly girl, Shangguan Yan is a playboy, you can't control him with this temperament, let's find a better one, okay?" ”

Qiao'er bit her lip and lowered her head without speaking, at this time, the second aunt had already carried the boxes in with the little maid, and when she saw Qiao'er in the courtyard, the second aunt paused slightly, and said with an embarrassed face:

"Qiao'er, this ...... It's ......"

Qiao'er stood up: "Mother, do you need my help?" ”

"No, no, I'll just come."

"Mother, our warehouse was only counted a few days ago, and it was so stuffed that we couldn't put these many things, so it was better to count it first, and let the guest room come out!"

"Huh? That's right...... That's fine! The second aunt couldn't answer her words, so she paid attention to Qiao'er's expression, for fear that she would be unhappy to see these things.

"Second aunt, Qiao'er is capable, you can let her help!"

"That'...... All right! ”

Seeing Qiao'er carefully take the booklet and the contents of the box one by one, and let the little maid carry it into the wing, Linglong finally relieved. knew that Qiao'er was a good girl, and she wouldn't be so careful.

After they were done, Linglong followed the second uncle and mother and daughter to the hall to look through the account books, and the second uncle and mother sighed: "These many things, I'm afraid they are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, what should we take to repay the gift?" ”

"What else? He sent it by himself, and it wasn't our Baba who came to ask for it, mother, let's divide those things, right? If you can use it, you will divide it first, and use the rest as gifts, and we will save a year's gift money today! ”

It was Mei'er who had just come out from behind. Song glanced at her with disgust:

"You stinky girl, you caused so many things at a young age, I think you will get married in the future?"

"I'm not afraid, didn't Shangguan Yan's flower butterfly make a decision for our family? I married him, tortured him every day, taught him a lesson, and let him bully my sister. ”

Linglong turned his eyes to look at Qiao'er, and saw Qiao'er lowering his eyes and lowering his head. The second aunt also felt that something was wrong. slapped her with a li, and then said to Qiao'er flatteringly: "Qiao'er, don't worry about your sister." She's just a heartless child. ”

Qiao'er lowered her head and didn't speak, and the atmosphere was a little awkward again.

Linglong coughed lightly: "Second uncle, did the second uncle also go to the court today?" ”

"Yes, I want to go to court."

"Isn't it the Chinese New Year? None of them rest? ”

"It only takes half a day before the tenth day of the new year. It's time to be back in a minute, right? ”

"Oh? That's right, I'm looking for my second uncle! ”

"Really? The hour is getting late. I'll go to the kitchen to talk about it, and your sister will have a good chat, by the way, Qiao'er, Mei'er. Take your cousin to see grandma, ah! ”

After the second aunt left, Linglong followed the sisters to the backyard. Mei'er looked at Qiao'er bitterly and apologized, but Qiao'er didn't speak and ignored her. The more she is like this, the more uncomfortable Mei'er becomes, and she insists on pestering Qiao'er to give her a smile.

Mei'er can be regarded as a tumbler, right? Linglong felt more and more that she and Shangguan Yan were a natural pair.

I haven't seen my grandmother for a few months, she is still as old as before, her hair is all white, she falls asleep when she sits, and when she wakes up, she mutters and mutters a lot, and she can understand a little before, but now she doesn't understand what she is talking about. The east sentence and the west sentence are confusing.

Linglong sat next to her for a while, and when she saw that her grandmother was dozing off with her eyes closed, she felt bored and was about to leave, but her grandmother opened her eyes.

Mei'er said: "Grandma, look, Cousin Linglong has come to see you!" ”

Grandmother looked up at Linglong, and then looked at Linglong's side, her eyes repeated several times, she felt very weird, Linglong panicked, turned her head to look around, there was nothing? What is my grandmother looking at?

"Hey, why do two people look exactly the same?"

Linglong and Qiao'er Mei'er were stunned for a moment, and Mei'er said, "Grandma, are you wrong?" We all look different! ”

"I didn't say you, I said them!" Grandmother pointed to Linglong, then to the clearing next to Linglong.

Linglong and the Song sisters were so frightened that they gasped, and Qiao'er said, "Grandma, what nonsense are you talking about?" It's obviously Cousin Linglong alone! ”

"Nonsense, it's clearly two people, didn't you see it?"

Linglong looked at her side in horror, feeling a chill in her back, she stood up with a hula, Qiao'er and Mei'er were so frightened that their faces turned white.

Several people were silent for a moment, and Qiao'er laughed dryly: "Don't mind, cousin, grandma has been chattering lately." ”

Mei'er also said: "Yes, yes, cousin, let's go out and have a look!" Sister, you accompany grandma first, ah! ”

Coming out of the backyard, Linglong stood in the sun and looked at his shadow, which made him feel a little better.

Mei'er took her hand and comforted: "Cousin, don't worry, it's okay, grandma, she is so confused, she is talking nonsense." ”

"Presumptuous! Mei'er, how can you speak ill of your grandmother? ”

Linglong turned around and saw the second uncle striding in.

"Linglong is here? Why don't you go into the house and sit? ”

Mei'er ran over and grabbed her second uncle's arm in a slightly coquettish tone: "Dad, you're back, Grandma Fang just said that there was a person standing next to Linglong's cousin who looked exactly like her, which frightened my cousin!" ”

The second uncle was stunned for a moment: "What nonsense?" What are those things in broad daylight? ”

Mei'er pouted: "It's grandma who said it, and I didn't say it, I don't believe you asked Sister Linglong." ”

The second uncle looked at Linglong thoughtfully and comforted: "Don't listen to your grandmother's nonsense, she has been getting more and more confused recently, maybe she misses your sister." ”

Linglong lowered his eyes and thought about it, is this really the case? The old lady had the impression that we were twins, and it was not surprising that she was confused and had conjectures, but she was relieved to think about it.

She followed her second uncle into the guest hall and asked casually, "Second uncle, don't you take a break during the New Year?" ”

"Heh, it's okay, I only have to go for half a day these days, and after the New Year, I'm really busy!"

"Really? Did the second uncle take on any good errands? ”

"It's not a good errand, half of the imperial mausoleum was built, the emperor thought the progress was too slow, and I heard that someone deducted the workers' salaries from it, and sent me and Gu Gonggong to the imperial mausoleum on an errand. I'm afraid I won't be able to go home for months, alas! ”

Imperial Tomb! Linglong suddenly remembered that Lingman had mentioned before that there would be two night pearls installed in the imperial tomb, so what could he say? What a coincidence!

She was excited in her heart, but she said with a smile on her face: "Second uncle, isn't it good for the emperor to reuse you?" ”

"Well, what reuse? That Father-in-law Gu is a celebrity next to the queen, and he said that he asked me to lead the supervision. He was present. Will I be able to hold my head?

It doesn't matter if I don't support my head or not, I'm afraid that Gu Gonggong will use the queen's power to bend the law, and then I will become a backstop! Alas. No one wants to take this kind of errand up and down, I didn't expect it to fall on me, it's really unfavorable! ”

The second uncle sighed for a long time, looking quite worried about this. Linglong didn't understand the relationship between the DPRK and China, so he could only comfort him simply: "Second uncle, don't worry. If that father-in-law really dares to be corrupt and pervert the law, you can join him behind your back. ”

The second uncle still shook his head: "How can it be so easy?" With the queen protecting him, even if he joins him, he will offend the queen's family, and he will be able to have a good life in the future? ”

Linglong frowned and thought for a while: "Second uncle." Who is the most powerful in the DPRK and China now? Who is the future prince? ”

"Prince? Where did you come from? The prince shook just over fifteen, and the emperor was grief-stricken and never stood again. ”

"That'...... Which prince is more hopeful? ”

The second uncle glanced at her: "You are a woman." What is this for? ”

"Second uncle, there is nothing left and right. There's no outsider here, so just tell me! ”

"Well...... It's really hard to say, the emperor has always favored the three princes, and has always had the intention to set up the three princes as the princes, but the mother family of the three princes is weak, and I am afraid that he will not be able to support the three princes.

The queen naturally wants to make her son the fifth prince the prince, but the fifth prince is the most mediocre of all the princes, if he is allowed to take the throne, it is actually to let the queen family take power, and the emperor will definitely not agree.

The other princes also have some ideas, I can't say for sure! ”

"Second uncle, don't say what other people think, what do you think?"

"Me? I'm a little Hanlin, as long as I can protect myself, there's no hope for anything else! ”

The second uncle is cautious, no matter how Linglong knocks on the side, he will never say who he supports, and secretly glances around, for fear that the wall has ears?

Linglong secretly pondered, in the past, his husband was also extra careful when talking about the affairs of the court, could it be that the emperor still raised a group of secret guards who eavesdropped on and inquired from time to time as in the legend?

That's it, the matter of the court is secondary, she just wants to know if her husband will be in danger with the third prince, of course, she is more concerned about the night pearl in the imperial tomb.

When she mentioned this, the second uncle looked at her with strange eyes: "Linglong, what are you doing with all this?" You must know that the things of the imperial tomb are the emperor's favorite, and no one dares to act rashly. ”

"Second uncle, I don't have any ideas, just ask."

The second uncle said seriously: "The so-called melon field is established, curiosity kills people, and it is better not to inquire about this kind of thing." ”

Linglong touched his nose in a sneer, originally thought that the second uncle would go to the imperial tomb to supervise the work and help provide some news, but he was more conservative and cautious than anyone else, just confirm that there is a night pearl in the imperial tomb, and make plans for the rest later.

Linglong didn't stay at his second uncle's house for long, and went back after lunch.

When he returned to his yard, Liang Chenjing did not come back, but met Juxiang beckoning people to move things outside.

Linglong stopped and glanced at it, and Ju Xiang came over with a smile and saluted: "Second young grandmother, are you back?" ”

"What are you doing?"

"Second young grandmother, the slave maid wants to move to the small courtyard next to it, and asks the second young grandmother to agree."

Linglong frowned slightly, the small courtyard next to him? There is indeed a courtyard of about a dozen rooms on the right side of his yard, but it is definitely not small.

I heard Gui Ying say that the yard was deliberately built next to this courtyard, so that it would be convenient for them to have children in the future, and when they grew up, they could move in a separate room, and they could usually be used to entertain guests, but they would generally not be distributed to others.

In other words, the courtyard is attached to this side, and you can make your own decisions, and the elders in the house generally don't care about it, just like the self-reserved land in the countryside.

Zhihua said: "You have moved everything out, is this a request?" ”

Ju Xiang looked at Linglong with a smile: "The slave knows that the second young grandmother is broad-minded and generous, so she will definitely agree, right, the second young grandmother?" ”

"You...... You are an unfavored room, no different from us, what qualifications do you have to live in a courtyard alone? ”

Ju Xiang disagreed: "Of course I'm different from you, I'm the one who served the second young master, what are you?" If you have the ability, you will also let the second young grandmother reward you to the second young master! ”

Zhihua blushed angrily and pointed at her speechless.

Linglong was also very uncomfortable in her heart, looking at Ju Xiang's provocative eyes, she thought that she was going to blackmail herself on the day she returned to her parents' house at first, by the way, this girl was just holding on to her handle, so she dared to be so blatant.

Do you want to extinguish her arrogance? Linglong was hesitating in his heart, but saw Ju Xiang walk up to Linglong and said:

"Second young grandmother, I guess you still remember what the slave maid said when she left a few days ago, right? The slave and maid are not joking, and the slave and maid have already arranged it, if the second young grandmother does not agree, or what to me, someone will immediately go to find the lady and the old lady, the second young grandmother, I believe that a small courtyard will not make you so embarrassed! ”

"Presumptuous! How can you be allowed to speak like this in the presence of your master? Gui Ying reprimanded, and suddenly slapped her.

Gui Ying is a martial arts practitioner, her hands and feet are extremely heavy, and the slap knocked her to the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Ju Xiang lay on the ground and covered her face, looking back incredulously and waiting for Gui Ying: "You...... How dare you ......"

Gui Ying said with a cold face: "Second young grandmother is kind, it doesn't mean that it's easy to bully, do you treat us all as dead?" ”

Ju Xiang's face turned white, she knew that Gui Ying had a hard background and was also very skilled, she couldn't help Gui Ying, she could only look at Linglong and said: "Second young grandmother, don't forget the words of the slave maid, the slave maid does what she says." ”

Gui Ying waved her hand and scared Ju Xiang to tremble, Linglong thought about it, it was better to send this girl away, so as not to make her dangle in front of her all day long.

"Forget it, let her go!"

"Second young grandmother, this kind of person can't be connived!"

"Alright, I know, let her go!" Linglong turned and walked to the upper room, too lazy to bother with her.

Ju Xiang lay on the ground for a while before she regained her strength, Gui Ying shrank her neck as soon as she glared at her, and hurriedly beckoned a few mothers-in-law to help her move things away.

Zhishu Zhihua and a few people followed Linglong into the room, Zhihua was a mouth that couldn't be idle, Linglong didn't sit down and said anxiously: "Miss, why are you indulging her?" This kind of person has one time and twice, this time he wants a yard, and he doesn't know what he wants next time? I think I should let Sister Gui Ying teach her a good lesson, so that she doesn't dare to make a mistake in the future. ”

Zhishu and Guiying Guilan also persuaded a few words, but Linglong didn't pay attention to it, and just asked, "Is the husband back?" ”

Gui Ying said: "Second young grandmother, in the morning, Grandpa Guo sent someone to send a post, you see, it is the schedule of the martial arts competition." (To be continued.) )
