Chapter 64: Wasted Effort
Fu Lingyun found a stool and sat down, and said coldly: "Act tonight." ”
Ye Yan lay on the couch, his hands on his head, and tried to use one foot to grab a sock on the ground, while asking lazily, "Who is it?" What does it look like? ”
Fu Lingyun looked at him with a headache and looked absent-minded, Lian Feng took over and said: "About thirty years old, white-faced and long-haired, dressed as a master, and ...... height About as tall as me. I don't know if he can do martial arts, but the person who followed him reported that it seems that after entering Beijing, this person is quite familiar with the roads of the capital, and it may be a person from the capital. ”
Ye Yan's toes went through "a lot of hardships", and finally picked up the socks on the ground, turned over and sat up, took the socks and put them on: "Master, let me search in the middle of the night, I can't even drink flower wine, shouldn't I be rewarded with some benefits?" ”
Fu Lingyun knew that he was going to talk nonsense again, so he ignored him, so Lian Feng had no choice but to say for him: "The young master told you to be careful at night, don't startle the snake, just find out where he is staying." You have to be safe and don't come back with injuries like you did last time...... Balabala (tens of thousands of words omitted below)".
Before he finished speaking, Ye Yan interrupted him: "Lian Feng, you are so noisy, could it be that you are a group of ducks reincarnated?" ”
Lian Feng was annoyed and angry, picked up a cup on the table and threw it on his head, which he easily dodged.
Fu Lingyun had a calm face: "Don't mess around!" ”
Ye Yan had a toothache on his face.
There are two masters and servants, one with a dead face all day long, cherishing words like gold, and he can't squeeze out longer sentences if he squeezes hard.
The other was as noisy as thousands of ducks, eager to break all the words, crumple them, turn them into countless powders, and stuff them into other people's ears, which was really painful.

In the Chu Mansion, Chu Qingruo was carefully selecting the young leaves that were beginning to bloom in the courtyard to make bookmarks, only to hear a noise and a good bark at the door, and raised his body to look at the gate of the courtyard.
It turned out that it was the eldest aunt and grandmother who led Ah Ju to argue with Han Linger and Chunju at the door.
"Auntie, you can't go in. It's said that the girl has been closed recently. Chunju, who looked helpless, had already patiently explained to her for the third time.
"Am I a guest? Am I a guest? I am her aunt, and I brought her cousin to visit her, under the same roof, how can I call a guest? We are relatives! Get out of my way. ”
Chu Wenhong had an expression of "I am the master here", raised his head almost with his nostrils as eyes, and stretched out his hand to push away Chunju and was about to go inside.
Han Ling'er was already furious when she heard this, and she was slowly rolling up her sleeves, ready for her to dare to break in, and she would give her two slaps.
In the past few months, Chu Qingruo's aunt has pulled Ah Ju over more than once to get close to her. Every time I come, I have to make a fuss.
Poor Aju was in the hands of her mother, and she was carried around like a caught chicken, her face turned pale with fright, but she didn't dare to resist.
In fact, Chu Qingruo just didn't like to see this aunt who had no one before and no one after him, and he was still a little happy about his two cousins and cousins, especially Ah Ju.
If they had come to her on their own, they probably wouldn't have been stopped like that. It's just that I came with my aunt, so I had to turn them away together.
Seeing that Ah Ju was being dressed up by her aunt and becoming more and more demonic, it was difficult for Chu Qing to guess this aunt's thoughts. Didn't she just want Ah Ju to stay in her yard from time to time, waiting for Fu Lingyun to come, hoping to win his favor and carry Ah Ju into the mansion as a concubine?
After she mentioned this to herself that day, she also told Fu Lingyun, and after he heard it, he stroked his palms with Xu Yong and Lian Feng and laughed.
Lian Feng said: "And tell your aunt and grandmother to wait, don't find someone for her daughter, if you don't come out of the girl for ten or eight years, her daughter will be able to enter the house and be a fire grandmother." ”
Chu Qingruo didn't know this, and looked at Fu Lingyun curiously. Fu Lingyun smiled and took her hand and said, "The Fu family's family rules are not allowed to take concubines."
It turned out that the ancestors of the Fu family had been in business for generations, and they were originally the richest family in the Great Yan, and since the first generation of the head of the family experienced the dispute over the family property for the heirs, he deeply felt the disadvantages of the dispute between the concubines, and therefore hated the matter of taking concubines. Therefore, making a last word before dying is also a family rule.
However, all the descendants of the Fu family, regardless of the main family or collateral lineage, if the wife married has a wife, no matter whether it is male or female, they are not allowed to take concubines. Only if the wife has been nowhere for three years and there is no medical treatment, can the wife be divorced and remarried.
If you don't want to divorce your wife, as long as you can accept that you don't have offspring, it's okay, but you still can't take any more wives and concubines, even flat wives are not allowed.
If there is any violation of the ancestral family rules, be expelled from the house and the name on the family tree will be removed. The clan came forward to take back the property given by the Fu family, and went out of the house, so that you could do whatever you wanted, take a concubine and marry a wife, and no one in the Fu family would interfere.
It's just that in the generation of Fu Lingyan and Fu Lingyun, for some reason, neither of them likes business, and both brothers want to go to the battlefield to be generals.
As the patriarch, Mr. Fu originally planned to leave his youngest son at home to take over the family business, but to people's surprise, Fu Lingyan, who everyone thought would become a general, would give up his ideals for love, and willingly washed his hands and made soup to become a "virtuous" husband. And the youngest son, who is quite business-minded, has become a taciturn general.
The only thing that comforted Mr. Fu a little was the second daughter, Fu Lingyan finally did not surprise everyone, and when she reached the age of marriage, she got married smoothly and married to the richest man in a neighboring country, which built a bridge for the Fu family's success in overseas trading. By the way, he also took over all the businesses of the Fu family abroad, and shared a lot for the old man Fu.
Old Man Fu often sighed that it was normal to have one out of three, otherwise his heart would really not be able to withstand the toss.
Fu Lingyan has become a concubine, and the husband and wife are in love, so there is no need for Old Man Fu to worry that he will take a concubine back and break the family rules, so the only person that the Fu family's family rules can target is Fu Lingyun.
Hearing this, Zhou's mother was speechless: "Good girl, isn't that as long as any of your family wants to marry a concubine, they will become penniless poor bastards?" So which one is willing to take a break as a concubine? ”
Lian Feng said with a smile: "Yes, the Fu family has been rich in the world for several generations, and since they have gone one after another, people have rushed to the door to be concubines, not for money, is it really for love?" The ancestor of the Fu family did this, but he also wanted those women who came to the pole for money to know that if the descendants of the Fu family accepted you, they would be penniless and penniless, and see if you would come to be a concubine for him! ”
Zhou's mother was full of joy, and gave a thumbs up again and again to praise: "Uncle, your ancestor is really a smart person, no wonder your family can be rich from generation to generation, but the family is harmonious, all of them are prescient!" Blessed are our young lady! ”
Fu Lingyun looked at Chu Qingruo affectionately when he heard this, and took her hand: "Hand in hand, one person is enough." ”
The 10,000-year-old stuffy gourd is actually in a large public today, and everyone is saying such a meaty thing in front of their eyes, and everyone has goosebumps, and birds and beasts are scattered. Leaving Chu Qingruo with a red face, speechless at Fu Lingyun, who had a serious face.
In the kitchen, Xu Yong also took Zhou's mother's hand and said affectionately: "Cui'er, I will be alone with you for the rest of my life, and I will never take a concubine." ”
Mother Zhou's eyes widened when she heard this, and she grabbed Xu Yong's ears and said angrily: "You dare!" ”
Then he picked up a kitchen knife and chopped a cucumber on the cutting board into two sections, one was lying on the cutting board, and the other was rolling to the ground along the cutting board.
Xu Yong swallowed his saliva and wiped the sweat on his head: "......"
When Chu Qingruo in the courtyard came back to her senses with a red face, Han Ling'er walked over and raised her fist proudly: "Girl, I have already sent her away, hum!" It's also a thief with a thief's heart and no guts. Before I could do anything, I ran away with my tail between my legs. ”
Chu Qingruo covered his mouth and snickered, Han Ling'er's fists couldn't even withstand ordinary men! When I first returned to the house, many of the family members ate her fists.
This aunt and grandmother have been here for a few days, and I am afraid that they have heard about it for a long time, and no one dares to provoke this female star.
If you don't go, will you stay and eat her fist?
Han Ling'er pulled a chair and sat down with a big grin, poured a glass of water with a dog's leg, and handed it to her with a huff, Han Ling'er glanced at him, took the cup and took a sip and asked Chu Qingruo: "Girl, are you going to make trouble with her for three days?" ”
Chu Qingruo smiled evilly at Han Ling'er: "Of course not, the bell must be tied to the bell, whoever provokes it back, let it be solved by himself!" After speaking, he glanced at Fu Lingyun.
Fu Lingyun was sitting precariously with an expressionless face, indicating that he was very well-behaved and innocent, Chu Qingruo and Han Ling'er snorted, and both laughed.

That night, Ye Yan was wearing a night robe with his face covered, and his body jumped into a luxurious mansion with a sensitive body. Flashed past a group of patrolling family members and came to the backyard of the house.
In the past few days, Ye Yan has checked all the houses around Orchid Lane, and he has not seen the person dressed as the master that Fu Lingyun said.
Most of the people living in this alley are wealthy families, and there are not many families in total. In the end, there is only tonight's target - Uncle Guo's Mansion.
Feeling into the backyard, Ye Yan was surveying around without a clue, when suddenly two more mothers-in-law passed by in the gallery. He hurriedly dodged and hid in the shadows behind the rockery.
I heard the two mothers-in-law whispering as they walked: "I don't know what treasures are hidden in the master's study, and every time Master Sheng comes, the two of them hide in the study and don't come out for a night." The study was surrounded by the family members into iron buckets, and they were not even allowed to pass the word in. ”
The other said: "No, a few days ago, I heard that the one who left the Yin Pavilion sent someone to the study to break in, and wanted to invite the master to sit in her room, but the person was beaten to death by the master, and said that this is the end of trespassing in the study." I was so scared that I thought I had fallen out of favor, and I cried for days to wipe my tears. ”
As he spoke, the voices drifted apart.
Ye Yan walked out of the rockery: Master? Den? It looks like I have eyebrows, but I don't know where the study is.
