Chapter 158 The First Step

After the move, my aunt, my aunt and other relatives sent gifts to congratulate them on their housewarming.

Anquis also came.

Ling Qingyun lives in the West Cross Courtyard.

There are three main rooms on each side of the west courtyard, with two small ear rooms on each side, which is quiet and elegant. All the trees in the yard are dead, but they have not been cut down, so you can see the traces of plantain under the window, bamboo in the corner of the yard, and grape vines at the door.

An Wei and Ling Qingyun sat in the west corner of her room and talked.

Ling Qingyun was very happy, talking about Chen Qiniang's deal with the second room, her eyebrows were flying, her expression was beautiful, and her side face was as brilliant as a sea of flowers in May, and her heart jumped when she saw it.

"When we moved in, the things of the original owner's family had not been moved. My sister-in-law gave me an extra 200 taels of silver, and the host's family agreed to move the rest of the belongings to a relative's house, and made room for us. Ling Qingyun smiled and said to An Yuan.

After talking for a long time, her mouth was a little dry, so she picked up the teacup and took a sip gently.

An Wei looked at her hand, only to feel that her ten fingers were slender, tender and white as jade. The kind of scorching porcelain white, like the first snow, is pure and dusty.

Ling Qingyun was not so white in the past, and the longer she looked, the more she looked like Lu Jiuniang.

"What's wrong?" Ling Qingyun turned around, and happened to see An Wei looking at her, so she couldn't help but ask with a smile.

An Wei paused, feeling embarrassed to be caught peeping. He covered up his love and said to her: "It's nothing, you seem to like your sister-in-law very much?" ”

"Well, she's amazing!" Ling Qingyun said, the admiration and envy are very strong, "My sister is not as powerful as her"

She suddenly thought of Lu Xuan.

It's not that Lu Yu is arrogant, it's that Lu Xuan is really not as good as Chen Qiniang. Lu Xuan was born in a famous family, and was named queen less than a year after marrying King Mu. The battles she experienced. It's all a court dispute.

Fighting in the court is not like fighting in the market. There is never a second in the battle of the imperial court, because defeat means death.

Lu Xuan failed once and died. So, she doesn't have an environment to gain experience.

Chen Qiniang is different. The mall is up and down, and she is in the most profitable ginseng shop. Help her father and brother with advice. She has experienced all kinds of defeats and victories, and she has long been skilled in strategy.

If Chen Qiniang had been trapped in Sister Lu's environment, perhaps she would have done better.

"Women are gentle and kind by nature. If it is very powerful, it must have suffered. It's not that powerful, but it's a good thing. An Wei whispered to her.

His voice was like a veil of layers. Wrap her up and fill her with warmth.

She bowed slightly. Nodding.

"Why did Rui Niang come with you?" Seeing that the atmosphere was a little silent, An Wei took the initiative to find a topic, "You bring her over, won't the second room be looking for trouble?" ”

An eaves is just in the main courtyard. When I saw Rui Niang, I was a little surprised.

Ling Qingyun smiled again: "It's not just Rui Niang who is here, but even my third uncle and third aunt." I brought my two cousins with me.

Chickens and dogs are jumping at home. My third aunt really couldn't stand it, so she wanted to come out to avoid the limelight. And my third uncle, it is closer to the Yamen from Zhixianfang. Therefore, he also lived in the outer courtyard of my house.

There is also a house next door to us, which has fallen into disrepair, and my third uncle is already sending someone to repair it. Wait until next spring, they can move next door to us."

The house next door was originally given by the current courtyard, and it was only six hundred taels. In Shengjing City, where every inch of land is valuable, and it is the location of Zhixianfang so close to the East Market, you can buy a house for six hundred taels, and you will wake up with a smile.

Spend three or four hundred taels casually, repair and reorganize, and sell it for more than two thousand taels, no more.

Chen Qiniang promised to give this house to the third uncle, but the third uncle needed to repair it himself.

The third uncle also promised not to ask for it in vain, and when his conditions are better in the future, he will definitely return Chen Qiniang's favor.

"First, my third uncle is not willing to live with the old house, even if my son is filial, sometimes he can't get along with his parents, and the third uncle can't stand his brother and mother;

Second, we gave so many benefits to the third uncle and third aunt, just because we wanted Rui Niang to be with us. No matter what, they will follow, this is their original promise. ”

Ling Qingyun continued.

An Wei nodded.

After a pause, Ling Qingyun also said: "My second uncle is definitely unwilling, I'm just afraid that something will happen." However, the matter of him suing the official for the sake of the family property and my sister-in-law is well known to everyone in Beijing. Even if he frames something, the world's public opinion will be biased in our favor.

Anlang, what do you think we are going to do? I still think that it is necessary to grasp some handles in the second room to feel at ease. ”

She raised her eyes and asked An Wei for advice.

At this moment, An Wei felt that her eyes were dark and deep, and when she turned around, she was a little rich and cold, and her temperament was scorching.

Why do you think she is getting more and more beautiful?

An Wei was slightly surprised: hasn't you seen her for a long time?

"Anlang?" Ling Qingyun reminded him loudly.

An Wei came back to his senses and said, "Your second uncle must be short of money recently. Well, I'll set up a trap for him to get caught up in it, and he can't extricate himself. If he dares to fight Rui Niang's idea, he will never recover.

If he had been obedient, I would not have persecuted him. In this way, they can be held in their hands. ”

Ling Qingyun immediately understood what An Wei wanted to say.

He wanted to set up a trap for Ling Qingyun's second uncle to borrow usury, so that he would be burdened with heavy debts.

If he is obedient, he will not be urged to pay back the money, and he will not be forced to live; However, if he acts rashly, it can ruin his family.

"Okay." Ling Qingyun said, "This is safer, lest I be suspicious and worry about Rui Niang." ”

Ann the eaves of the head.

After saying that, both of them silently drank a few sips of tea.

An Eave's eyes looked out along the window lattice, and he saw the bare grape trellis.

He still remembered talking to Ling Qingyun under the grape trellis, but was interrupted by An Dong.

At that time, the weather was hot, and the sun passed through the branches and leaves of the grape trellis, like broken gold covering their bodies, bright and warm, not like the current sun, which was cold.

"That's the grape trellis," An's eaves said.

Ling Qingyun also stood up.

She was up to the shoulders of An Cane.

It was indeed a grape trellis outside, but unfortunately it had completely died of drought. The remaining dead branches have dried up.

She didn't know why An Wei would suddenly say this.

She nodded and said, "Well, it's a grape trellis."

An Wei stopped answering, as if he was thinking about something.

"By the way, Anlang, I plan to go to Du's house tomorrow." Ling Qingyun suddenly said to An Wei, "This was planned before, but the housework was delayed." Haven't gone yet. ”

"The Du family?" An Wei frowned slightly. "The Niningbo family?"

The Ning Bodu family is also an old nobleman. Yan Ningbo's eldest daughter was once married to the crown prince as a concubine. After the death of the crown prince, the crown princess moved to Huangling to be widowed because she had no heirs.

The days of widowhood were hard, and the crown princess died within two years.

Rao is so. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor still treated the Du family well.

Moreover, Du Yongqi, the son of Ning Bo. has a very close relationship with the Lu family and used to be a friend of Lu Luo.

Lu Luo is the brother of Lu Yu and Lu Xuan.

"Yes, it's the Nimbodu family." Ling Qingyun said. "My brother had a great friendship with the prince of Gunning, and he often took his wife to my brother's house as a guest, and I have seen them several times. Know a little bit about them.

Shi Ting also sued me a little. I heard that Du Yongqi's eldest son has some stubborn illnesses that have not healed for a long time. Last time, Du Yongqi also went to Tianyi Pavilion to test it, wanting to see if Shi Ting could help him.

Shi Ting has already entered the eyes of the eldest princess of Huaiqing, and for the time being, he can't act rashly, so the matter of befriending Du Yongqi is handed over to me. ”

An Wei frowned slightly.

Ling Qingyun was a little apprehensive in her heart.

"Du Yongqi?" An Wei asked rhetorically.

Ling Qingyun nodded.

"Is he of any use?" An Wei asked, "He doesn't seem to have anything to do with the eldest princess Huaiqing's family, isn't it useless for you to befriend him?" ”

"Between the nobles of Jingli, who has nothing to do with whom?" Ling Qingyun said.

An Wei paused.

Ling Qingyun told An Wei about Shi Ting's plan again.

"If the stone court is along the other side, and you are also on the other side, when you get to Du Yongqi, it will almost be over." Ling Qingyun said, "I won't let you down. ”

An Wei raised his hand and touched her head.

"Good boy." He praised Ling Qingyun's self-confidence like this.

Ling Qingyun raised her face to look at him: "Why do you always call me a child?" This question has been bothering her for some days.

An Wei always says "good boy" and "stupid child" at every turn, and the tone is like an elder to a junior.

Although Ling Qingyun felt warm, she also felt strange.

An Wei bowed his head, he stood by the window, the afterglow of the setting sun reflected in his eyes, and his deep eyes turned dazzling gold.

The golden glow flows, and it is especially warm in the cold winter. Being watched by him, Ling Qingyun felt warm and steady.

"You don't like it?" An Wei asked her in a low voice.

"No!" Ling Qingyun immediately replied, for fear that he would misunderstand, "I like it very much!" I'm curious, but I love it. ”

The slanting sun shone in, and the room was full of warm colors, and it became hazy and ambiguous.

An Eave's eyes became deeper and deeper.

He grabbed Ling Qingyun's waist and let her get close to him. He hung his head, put his forehead on her forehead, and whispered to her, "If you like it, it's fine." Whatever you do, be mindful. Although you are smart, be cautious. ”

His voice was full of lingering, like silk threads wrapped around her, tightly binding Ling Qingyun's heart.

"I'm behind you, don't be afraid." An Wei continued, "Understand? ”

Ling Qingyun snorted.

Finally, a kiss from An Wei fell on her forehead. His lips were dry and warm, like a brand.

The next day, it was a rare sunshine.

The scorching sun of the early morning gave off a bright and warm light, and the blue sky was cloudless, much better than the previous days.

Ling Qingyun went to tell her mother, "I'm going out for a trip, taking Xue'er and Xiaobai out for a walk." ”

She wanted to go out and walk the dog.

Jing was slightly surprised.

However, the Jing clan did not stop Ling Qingyun.

She had just moved to the house, and although she handed over everything to Chen Qiniang, Jing's still had to take care of her own cage, so she had a lot of things to pack up, and she didn't have time to think about it, so she just said to Ling Qingyun: "Be careful." ”

Ling Qingyun said yes, and went out with Xue'er and Xiaobai.

Xue'er obediently lay in Ling Qingyun's arms.

Mao Xiaobai was very arrogant on the side, glancing at Xue'er from time to time, but he didn't pay much attention to Ling Qingyun.

Ling Qingyun's carriage went straight to the Ningbo Mansion.
