This is a rare opportunity, Ling Xiao seized the time to deal with the official business at hand, after lunch, with the deed that had already been prepared, he rode his horse and galloped straight to the east of the city.

If you want to say that Qi Yuheng is particular about eating, drinking and having fun, there is no one in the Beijing circle who does not give a thumbs up.

The teahouse is located in the deep alley, Ling Xiao spent a stick of incense to find it, the name of the store is very ordinary, but the second and third floors of the private room back to the street, the willows outside the window are green, flourishing, reflected in the sparkling moat, really lined with the artistic conception of "jasper makeup into a tree high, ten thousand hanging down green silk".

It's hard to find a quiet place in the middle of nowhere.

Yun Xiu was sitting by the window blowing the wind, and when she heard someone coming in, she glanced sideways, and her eyes fell on the spring scenery again.

"Xiuxiu," Ling Xiao hurried, his voice slightly hoarse, "I'm looking for you today to make it clear, what happened before??"

How to say it, quarrels are quarrels, but it is wrong for him to bully a girl to death, but to apologize directly, he can't say it.

"You also said before, it's over, and the past is not to blame," Ling Xiao was short of words, thinking for a long time whether to keep his heart tight, and save face first. "Qi Yuheng said that you came that night when I drank too much, I am not a person who doesn't know what to do, let you work hard in vain."

As he spoke, he took out the title deed from his arms and slapped it in front of Yun Xiu.

Yun Xiu looked at him inexplicably, and then looked at the title deed, "Master Hou, this is?" “

Ling Xiao waved his hand, "I'll give it to you." “

"Little girl, don't." Yun Xiu didn't think about it, pushed the title deed back, and said lightly, "Thank you Lord Hou for your favor, taking care of Lord Hou is a blessing for Cao Ke, if you don't ask for anything in return, you can't afford Lord Hou's return." “

Ling Xiao heard her resentment, stuffed the land deed into her hand, and shook it. "Xiuxiu, this yard has been empty, someone came to me with fifty gold bars the year before last, I didn't answer, and now I send you, count it as my heart."

"Master Hou, I really don't want it." Yun Xiu broke his fingers one by one, "To put it mildly, there is no shortage of silver in the salt road, how many people want to sit in the position of patrolling the salt imperial history, you know better than me in the officialdom, my father bought a house in the capital for the two elder brothers to go to school." “

"I live in Qi Mansion because I want to accompany my second sister, it's not that I have nowhere to go." She withdrew her hand and put it under the table, "Father has taken my grandmother back to the house in the past two days. I went with my grandmother, and I couldn't come out casually in the future, and the little girl was kind to the Hou Ye. “

really responded to the crow's mouth of Qi Sanye, and the daughter of the salt patrol imperial historian was no worse than the girl in the Beijing circle.

Ling Xiao kicked the iron plate, and he had to hold back if he was unhappy, "Do you want to go back to Yangzhou?" “

"I don't know." Yun Xiu shook his head, "Look at how my grandmother is doing, when she will take care of her old man, and when I will leave." “

This is what Ling Xiao is most afraid of, "Won't it be done?" “

Growing up so big, begging a girl for the first time, lowering his posture, and feeling that he had confessed in this life.

Yun Xiu bowed his head and said nothing.

"Xiuxiu," Ling Xiao wanted to collapse again, maybe he really couldn't see it, "I said to marry you, I will definitely not break my word, I remember those words in Qingzhou, I didn't want to hurt you, at least I didn't want to, otherwise you sleep next to me every day on the ship, it should have happened a long time ago." “

Yun Xiu frowned, cried and mourned, and tilted his head to the side.

"You know what I think of you." Ling Xiao said, "That time in Daming Temple, I couldn't hurt you if I didn't protect you. “

He raised his hand and stroked her face, "Xiuxiu, if you don't have any pleasure, just say it, I promise not to lose your temper and listen to you." “

Tears rolled in his eyes, Yun Xiu looked at him, and burst into tears as soon as he opened his mouth, "I was so sore that night, I felt like an animal, for your pleasure." “

"Treat me like this if you keep saying you treat me well?" She covered her eyes with a handkerchief, "I follow you regardless of the rules, everything depends on you, what about you!" Do you think that I don't care about my mother's father, and my grandmother is old, so I trample on it at will if no one relies on me! “

"I'm also the old lady's sister-in-law!"

She cried so hard that Ling Xiao completely forgot to comfort her.

He looked at her in amazement, and it took him a moment to realize that he was wrong.

He thought, sooner or later, marry back, the truth of husband and wife is a matter of time?? I don't think so.

"Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu, I didn't know you would think so," Ling Xiao came back to his senses, quickly sat down next to Yun Xiu, and hugged her, "I didn't treat you as an outsider, since I was a child, no one dared to drive me, you are the first one." “

Yun Xiu pressed on his shoulder and cried: "So you're going to teach me a lesson?!" “

Ling Xiao sighed: "Xiuxiu, I really teach you a lesson, can you live until the next day?" That night you have the heart that strangled you. “

Yun Xiu slapped him twice: "Pinch now, strangle to death to relieve hatred." “

"Reluctantly, reluctantly, okay." In the past, Qi Yuheng was afraid of his daughter-in-law, but now the world is reporting, "Xiuxiu, if you don't want to go back to Yangzhou, I didn't want to let you go back when I brought you to the capital." “

"If you don't let me go, what do you want?" Yun Xiu pushed him away, don't turn his head and sniff, "Throw it in the river to feed the fish?" “

Ling Xiao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his thumb and laughed: "You are dedicated to feeding me, and the others are on the side." “

"Don't be ashamed! Don't be ashamed! Yun Xiu put his hands against his chin, "Don't kiss!" Get away from me! “

Ling Xiao: "??"

It's good, I won't let my relatives go.

On the way back, he gave Yun Xiu the title deed, and Yun Xiu didn't want to live or die.

Ling Xiao didn't have a clue: "You keep the key, take the time to take a look, what needs to be added to the house, come back and tell me." “

Yun Xiu still doesn't want to.

Ling Xiao had no choice but to coax: "Sooner or later, it's all under your control, let you go first, otherwise you will lose it one day, and you will have to find a locksmith." “

Yun Xiu didn't believe it: "Have you lost it?" “

Ling Xiao was ashamed: "Ah, I lost two handfuls, and if I lose this one, I will be the third one." “

"Then I'll keep it for you for the time being." Yun Xiu was reluctant to accept it, "I'll pay you back later." “

Ling Xiao wanted to laugh when he saw her awkwardness, "Okay, you can do whatever you say." “

When he arrived at Qi Mansion, he watched her go in and was caught by Qi Yuheng, who was looking forward to it.

"Is it okay this time?" He laughed so hard that he invited Ling Xiao to the front yard for tea, "I saw you riding a horse and riding a car from afar, you kid is still saved." “

"Coaxed for the time being," Ling Xiao didn't have a ten-by-ten certainty, "She said that the Yun family had a house in Yanjing, really?" “

Qi Yuheng nodded, "My father-in-law is low-key, buy a two-in-two-out yard in the west of the city, I chose the boundary, and the price of acquaintances." “

As he spoke, he stretched out his two hands and flipped them back and forth.

Ling Xiao guessed: "Two hundred gold bars? “

Qi Yuheng corrected him: "Two hundred gold bricks, one less is not good." “

Ling Xiao was puzzled: "Two hundred gold bricks buy a house with two in and two out, the money is burned, and it is low-key?" “

"You don't understand this," Qi Yuheng said, "The two alleys to the south of the house are the General's Mansion, and the street to the east is the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the dignitaries and dignitaries in the neighborhood are on the left. What kind of realm do you say? “

He took a sip of tea and tasted it well, "Don't talk about them, just your Hou Mansion, my Guogong Mansion, inquire about the surrounding prices, can two hundred gold bricks buy the whole yard?" “

"You didn't mention it before, I didn't say it, but now I said it, I'll say a few more words," Qi Yuheng covered the tea lid, "Although the Yun family has not entered the Jue, and it is not from the Beijing circle, it seems to be high, but in fact, it is not much worse than us, otherwise Yun Ying will not be able to enter the Qi family." And besides you??"

He hesitated and asked, "Do you understand the trouble with the three girls of the Li family?" Hey, it's not me meddling in my mind, Yun Ying is now reading in my ear every day, saying that I matched her sister to push her sister into the fire pit, it's really bad, if you want to break with me, my head is big. “

This will be Ling Xiao's turn to see the excitement and not think it's a big deal, "It's all your habitual problem." “

"Can you speak human language?" Qi Yuheng scolded him, "You are not used to it, the girl dares to call you out, fifty steps and a hundred steps, I don't know what virtue you have, the third girl of the Li family is much softer than the eighth girl, you pick your nose and pick your eyes, this time one thing drops one thing, brine and tofu." “

"Can they compare?" Ling Xiao sighed, "The marriage is gone, do you want to ask them, ask me?" “

"What are you doing with me," Qi Sanye was not happy, "The Li family went to the Hou Mansion some time ago, don't ask me how I know, Grandma Qi's ticket lady often gathers, and everyone guesses whether the two families will rebuild the old good." “

"Fart!" Ling Xiao slapped the teacup over, got up and left.

Qi Yuheng's gaze turned to the person, "Hey, if you have something to say, what kind of anger is it!" “

Ling Xiao's voice came from outside the house, "That group of mothers-in-law." If you give a brick one day, you will know what liver tremor is! “

"This dog has a temper and swears." Qi Yuheng muttered, feeling that he was also wronged, and let him stand up for all the bullshit.

??

It was dark in the spring, and after Yun Xiu had dinner with the old lady, she was called back to the house by Yun Ying.

Yun Yingping retreated from a room of people, and the critic asked, "You went out this afternoon?" And to see the unobtrusive again? “

"Sister, he apologized to me," one is his own sister, the other is his sweetheart, Yun Xiu feels that he is also responsible for making such a fuss, "Say it, nothing else." “

"You don't hit the south wall and don't look back," Yun Ying smiled coldly, "Today, I will accompany my grandmother to see Mrs. Ye, who told me privately that her old man is in very bad health, and she has to be recuperated for a year and a half, and my father plans to buy another big mansion in the capital for my grandmother's retirement." “

She observed Yun Xiu's reaction as she spoke, "Daddy said that grandmother spoils you the most on weekdays, and asked if you would like to stay with her old man, and I answered for you." “

Yun Xiu wrung her handkerchief and didn't speak, Yun Ying had a number in her heart.

"Xiuxiu, the second sister is related to you, so I won't go around the corner," she said, "Grandmother is afraid that she won't be able to go back to Yangzhou, and her old man will naturally not delay you." You have to follow Ling Xiao, my sister doesn't do anything like beating mandarin ducks, but Ling Xiao's mother, Lord Pingkang, is not a mother-in-law who is easy to get along with. “

After a pause, Yun Ying asked, "Did Ling Xiao mention it to you?" “

Yun Xiu shook his head.

Yun Ying's laughter was even colder, "So, there will be a polo club in a few days, which will give you a long experience." “

The polo club is one of the entertainment in the Beijing circle, and the children of each family take turns to play three against three or five against five, which team scores more goals, which team wins, and the stakes are very large.

Of course, the young masters may not come purely to play, and the girls from all over the country come to watch the game with their relatives, and the intentions of both sides are self-evident.

As long as Ling Xiao is in the capital, he almost doesn't fall on the scene, he originally wanted to ask Yun Xiu to play, but when he learned that Yun Ying took the initiative to bring someone over, he was relieved.

The lord of Pingkang will naturally not miss the great opportunity to socialize, she looks dignified, sits in the stands without smiling, occasionally takes a sip of the teacup, and the mother-in-law behind her immediately serves refreshments, and the barracks guards wearing green-headed knives in the four corners of the stands are on duty.

Unfamiliar officials take a detour, and those who are familiar with each other, such as Qi Yuheng and others, will definitely run to the stage to praise the county lord for happiness.

Who doesn't like a sweet-mouthed junior, Lord Pingkang asked, "I didn't see you come to the Hou Mansion this time, what are you busy with?" “

"Godmother, just spend your days in the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Qi Yuheng haha, "I thought Ling Xiao told you, Yun Ying's grandmother went to Beijing to see a doctor, the old man is old, and we are filial piety as the younger generation." “

"I should." Lord Pingkang snorted, and asked again, "You're alone today, Yun Ying didn't come?" “

"Here," Qi Yuheng glanced at the racecourse, "Yo, eighty percent is still on the way." “

Lord Pingkang looked at her strangely, "It's rare that you didn't work together?" “

"Godmother, you are scolding me," Qi Yuheng said with a smile, "The old lady came to Beijing and brought her sister-in-law with her, the two sisters haven't seen each other for a few years, and this Cheng Zi is inseparable." “

The lord of Pingkang didn't care about anything else, and he liked to find out the most: "Your sister-in-law?" Oh, I remember, Yun Ying's own sister, how old is this year? “

Qi Yuheng said sixteen, "The girl is also here, the two sisters stand together like two delicate flowers, you are happy to see it." “

Lord Pingkang has seen Yun Ying's appearance, which is the type she is satisfied with, presumably her sister is not bad, "What is that girl's name?" “

Qi Yuheng replied: "A single name is a Xiu, Xiuying's Xiu." “

Pingkang County's main mouth tea, lukewarm: "Xiu, Meiyu also." Poetry Jingyun: There are bandit gentlemen, full of ears Xiuying. Yun Yushi likes his son so much that he gives his daughter such a name. “

With Qi Yuheng's understanding of the county lord, he felt that Yun Xiu's first impression was not very good.

But this is not good, and it seems to disappear as I see me.

Yun Xiu didn't expect to come to the racecourse, he didn't see Ling Xiao, the first thing he saw was Ling Xiao's mother, the lord of Pingkang.

A woman in her forties, with a towering bun and proper maintenance, can see that she was extremely beautiful when she was young, even if she gave birth to a faint nasolabial fold.

Ling Xiao looked very similar to Lord Pingkang, and his usually indifferent and sharp look was exactly the same as that of the old marquis.

Yun Xiu had never seen Old Marquis Ling, but he guessed seven or eight points, so Ling Xiao was furious that night, it is not difficult to understand, growing up in such a family background, it is difficult to say two good words to others, let alone put down the shelf to coax her.

She sighed secretly, consciously sitting down properly, for fear of losing the face of the Yun family.

The county lord of Pingkang was really satisfied with her, and felt that she was more standard than Yun Ying, and her smile was soft: "I heard that your grandmother is not in good health, so she made a special trip to see Imperial Doctor Ye, Brother Heng said at first, I was still strange, and then I remembered that Imperial Doctor Ye was also from Yangzhou." “

Yun Xiu hurriedly stood up and replied respectfully: "The old lady of the Ye family has a good relationship with her grandmother, and she met the sixth sister of my family in the early spring of this year. “

"He is very articulate, and this Wu Nong's soft words are glutinous to the heart." Lord Pingkang looked at Yun Ying while smiling, "You first came to Yanjing and talked like this, but it wasn't as good as your sister." “

Yun Ying chuckled, "County Lord, you can't be partial, Qi Yuheng calls you godmother, I also call you godmother, he is your godson, and I am your goddaughter-in-law." “

Saying that, she walked behind the county lord of Pingkang and pinched her shoulder, deliberately saying that Yun Xiu was not good: "Godmother, daughter-in-law is comfortable to pinch, my sister is stupid and has no skills." “

How could the county lord of Pingkang not hear her intentions, and patted her hand: "Listen to your sister and know that she is not a stupid girl, the craft can be learned, you are her sister, and it doesn't hurt to teach at ordinary times." “

Yun Ying chuckled in her heart.

Yun Xiu lowered her eyes, pursed her lips and did not speak.

Lord Pingkang looked at his sister, then turned his head to glance at his sister, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to his mother-in-law: "The game is about to start, go and see where Brother Xiao'er is, ask him to come over, I have to tell a few words." “

The mother-in-law took the order, and after a while, Ling Xiao came over with a horsewhip, and couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Yun Xiu sitting next to her mother.

No wonder I couldn't find anyone after two laps, why did I run here?

Knowing that the son is like a mother, the lord of Pingkang County called his son to come up, and asked with a smile: "Do you know the girl of the Yun family?" “

Ling Xiao snorted and said perfunctorily: "Let's take a boat back to Beijing together." “

"Oh, that's an acquaintance," the county lord of Pingkang looked at Yun Xiu, "The girl has just come to Beijing from Yangzhou, Brother Heng has a family and a mouth, Yun Ying is busy with the affairs of a large family in the back house, you have nothing to do on weekdays to take people out for a walk, and do your best as a landlord." “

Yun Ying said no, and smiled politely: "Godmother, the little marquis is also busy on weekdays, don't let my sister make trouble for him, there is a girl in the house, it's not troublesome." “

"It's not going to be troublesome," Ling Xiao couldn't wait, and readily agreed, "I'm busy with this journey, and I'll take the eighth girl out to play." “

As he spoke, he heard someone on the racecourse shouting, "Ling Ye has started the race."

Ling Xiao saluted to the lord of Pingkang County: "Mother, I'll go down to the game first, and I'll come back later." “

Lord Pingkang got up and stepped down with him, muttering, "Be careful, every time I see you grab the ball, I am terrified." “

"Haven't you been afraid of any time, aren't I all right," Ling Xiao looked back and smiled, "Yesterday my father told you not to come, you have to come, and you are scared when you come." Next time, I'll just accompany you to watch the game on the table. “

"I thought, 'Are you coming?' I always know that I will fool me with your father. Lord Pingkang's voice faded away, "How many times have I said, don't ride such a tall horse, how can you fall down?"

Yun Xiu looked at the mother and son who were far away, and suddenly felt envious, she found a reason to pull Yun Ying to the sidelines to speak.

"Second sister, is Mrs. Lu good to you?" She asked.

Yun Ying nodded, "It's not bad, although it can't be compared to the sister-in-law, but compared to the daughters-in-law in a few rooms, it's the best." “

Yun Xiu had some illusions, "I see that the lord of Pingkang is very fond of Ling Xiao, will he love his daughter-in-law in the future?" “

"It's hard to say," Yun Ying poured cold water on her. "It's the first time you've seen it today, but on the surface, let her know that you and Ling Xiao are in love behind your back, and it is estimated that you won't have a good face."

"Really?" Yun Xiu's expression darkened, "I think my son is looking for an unruly girl." “

"Perhaps, I don't know if the lord of Pingkang is enlightened in private," Yun Ying curled her ears and sideburns for her, "But I often walk in the palace, and I will inevitably pay more attention to it, I will bring you here today to let you know what kind of husband you will face in the future." “

said, sighing, "Xiuxiu, grandmother told me everything, she is an old man. I'm afraid that you will follow in my footsteps and become a stepping stone for my father's career, but fortunately, the Qi family treats me well, but Ling Xiao??"

Before the words fell, Qi Yuheng's voice came from behind him: "Hey, I have something to talk about, the game has started, and my godmother asked us to watch the game." “

Back to the stands, the lord of Pingkang didn't call the juniors together, but the adjacent stands had been cleaned up, and three circle chairs were arranged, and refreshments and fruits were placed on the low table.

The three of them sat down in turn, and Qi Yuheng leaned into Yun Ying's ear: "Look at Ling Xiao's sassiness, I haven't seen him work so weekdays, let's call the eighth girl today." “

Yun Ying glanced at him disapprovingly: "You don't put gold on his face, am I blind." “

As he spoke, he quietly glanced at the stands around the corner, and snorted coldly, "The Li family is also here, the one who wears a pink spring dress is the third girl, she divorced last year, and she didn't see anyone in an autumn polo match, and now spring is coming, everything is recovering, and she is also recovering?" “

"Don't be so mean." Qi Yu Heng looked at Yun Xiununu, who was watching the game, "After a while, people heard it, and the little couple was about to have a conflict again, so it didn't take long to coax them." “

"Phew! Who is a small two! Yun Ying scolded silently, grabbed the other party's ears fiercely, and said loudly, "Are you still talking nonsense?" “

Qi Yuheng screamed several times, grinning in pain, "Madam, there are a lot of people in the racecourse, so it's better to save some face." “

Yun Xiu heard the movement, turned his head sideways, looked at the two of them with a smile and a smile, and felt that he was quite redundant, and he happened to go out for a walk alone.

She didn't have much interest in the game, her eyes were staring at the arena, and her mind was full of Yun Ying's words, and she was a little withdrawn.

If Ling Xiao doesn't marry, it doesn't have to be, if it weren't for her grandmother's illness, Ding Mei would have harmed her. Xie Zongren was in hot pursuit, where did she urgently need a backer to breathe.

Now the old lady does not return to Yangzhou, she has also escaped from the bondage, the new land has a new atmosphere, if the lord of Pingkang is not easy to get along with, it is a big deal to marry, as long as she is treated well.

Just thinking about it, Ling Xiao's voice came out coldly behind him, "What are you doing here, aren't you dry?" “

"It's okay, it's okay," Yun Xiu turned around, smiled unnaturally, nonsense, "I've never seen such a big dog tail grass in Yangzhou." If you think it's strange, let's take a look. “

"This is a reed," Ling Xiao took her wrist and walked back, "This piece of silt is a lot and wild, don't run around." “

"I'll go back myself," Yun Xiu was afraid that people would see her, so she pulled out her hand and walked in front of him with her skirt, "You go to the game, you don't have to follow me." “

What's wrong with it?

Ling Xiao stood in place and thought for a while, then chased after him, "Are you afraid of Lord Pingkang?" “

Yun Xiu pursed her lips and glanced at him.

"I guessed it." Ling Xiao laughed, "My mother doesn't look close, but in fact, her face is cold and hot, and after a long time, she knows that she is good to people." “

Yun Xiu didn't speak.

He bumped her on the shoulder, "Hey, I can see that my mother likes you very much, aren't you happy?" “

"There is an honor." Yun Xiu smirked twice, and then walked forward.

Ling Xiao was helpless against the sudden sunny turn to cloud, "Xiuxiu, the ugly daughter-in-law will eventually see her in-laws, and you will meet every day in the future, you will always have to pass this level." “

"What nonsense are you talking about." Yun Xiu felt a mess in his heart, "I, I, don't follow me!" I want to be alone and quiet. “

"Don't go!" Ling Xiao just saw that she was worried, "What's wrong with you, if you don't make it clear, I won't leave, let's just spend it and see who consumes whom." “

As soon as the words fell, a soft and thin voice came from not far away: "Ling Xiao, they are all looking for you, why are you here?" “
