In the flower hall in the front yard, Mrs. Xing talked and laughed with the lord of Pingkang, the smile was a real smile from the heart, not to mention her, even Li Shilang didn't expect that Yun Yushi was an out-and-out straw bag, except for the thick family background, he had no other ability, and he couldn't even protect his daughter.

The couple were locked up at home and couldn't figure it out, how did Ding Guogong fancy this in-laws?

Just because you have money?

The Beijing circle is a rich nest, there is no shortage of fat difference, and there is no shortage of official eunuchs with a thick family background, how to look at the imperial history of Yangzhou Salt Patrol alone, marry a daughter-in-law from other places, I don't know what to think.

Mrs. Xing took a sip of tea, put the pitted candied fruit in her mouth, it was so sweet that she said hello to the lord of Pingkang County, "You can now be regarded as completing a big wish, and it is estimated that the next step is to be a wife and daughter-in-law, ouch, I envy your good fortune when I think about it!" I don't have any hope in my life. “

Li Muhuo liked Sister Yao when she was jumping around, but now she is paralyzed, isn't there no hope.

The county lord of Pingkang only didn't understand, and asked the mother-in-law beside him: "I asked you to invite Brother Xiao'er back, why haven't you come yet?" No small thing can be done. “

The mother-in-law said that she had sent the little maid to the Privy Council quickly, and she estimated that she was on the way.

As he was speaking, Ling Xiao stepped into the hall in his robe, called "Mother" to the Lord of Pingkang County, and smiled at Mrs. Xing, "You came so early today." “

"How do you talk to Aunt Xing?" The lord of Pingkang knows his son best. Hearing that he was scolding, he opened his mouth to stop it, "It just so happens that you are back, I have discussed some things with your father, the meaning of the family, you are not too young in your twenties, learn to make your own decisions in everything, Aunt Xing has something to say, you listen." “

Mrs. Xing stroked the hair on her sideburns, cleared her throat, and said politely: "The county lord is raised, how dare the women be the lord of the little marquis, but I just want to ask his opinion, if you are willing to save our Miao'er's life, as the saying goes, saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter." “

"You want me to save my life?" Ling Xiao showed an embarrassed expression. "It's a doctor's business to save lives, and I'm not a doctor."

"Poor mouth." When will the Lord of Pingkang be calmer, "Listen to my aunt's words." “

Ling Xiao nodded, and said to Mrs. Xing, "You go on." “

Mrs. Xing was full of gratitude to the county lord of Pingkang, and she was helpless in her heart, what kind of liking did this unobtrusive overlord like, she was her own daughter and a girl from the Yun family, "The bell must be tied to the bell, and the heart disease can only be prescribed to the right medicine, not afraid of the county lord's jokes, Miao'er is an unsuccessful person, and she will not reveal the truth until she retires from the marriage, saying that she has been in love with the little marquis for a long time, and now she is sick." I'm afraid I won't live long. “

As she spoke, she took off her veil and tucked the corners of her eyes, and said to Lord Pingkang, "You are also a mother, so you should have pity on me and become a mother's heart." “

Lord Pingkang hurriedly comforted: "I understand your mood, but the old marquis has always had to nod his head for major family affairs, his temper you know, the things that are decided will not be easily changed, I can't persuade him, so I call Brother Xiao'er to come, as long as he agrees, ask him to discuss with the old marquis." “

Mrs. Xing raised her head in disbelief: "Can the old marquis listen to a junior?" “

"I don't dare to say it if I change to someone else, Brother Xiao is his son, so it's naturally different." The county lord of Pingkang gave Ling Xiao a look, "Don't just sit still, say a word, and make a statement to your aunt." “

"Mother, what do you want your son to say about this?" Ling Xiao is very innocent, "Originally, Cousin Li complained about her son, and her son couldn't force the bull to drink water, so she did it according to her, and turned her head and said that she loved it. “

As he spoke, he looked at Mrs. Xing: "You and your uncle-in-law were present on the day of the divorce, I recognized what Li Miao said about me, and I compensated her on the spot, it was obvious to all, and I didn't provoke her again afterwards." “

Speaking of this, she hit the pain point of the county lord of Pingkang, she was a baby-like son, and she was useless in the mouths of outsiders, and her voice suddenly became half cold, "Yes, Mrs. Xing, Li Miao thinks he is not good in every way, so why do you talk about love?" I've never seen a girl so fond of people. “

"Miao'er is also spoiled by her family." Mrs. Xing's face was red and white for a while, and she said, "I'm afraid that the little marquis is unlawful, and it's not a misunderstanding." “

"Misunderstanding?" The smile on the corner of Ling Xiao's mouth faded, leaned forward slightly, and stared at the other party, "Say that I am frivolous and have poor wine, so I love to go to the fence, she is a serious girl who doesn't dislike me, it is my blessing, this is the original words, you forgot me, you haven't forgotten." “

"Which master in the Beijing circle doesn't like to play?" The county lord of Pingkang looked colder, "My brother Xiao is the most measured, not to mention the Hou Mansion, and the private house of the family has never entered the Yingying Yanyan." “

Looking through the old accounts, Mrs. Xing was so blocked that she couldn't speak for a long time.

Ling Xiao was not aggressive, leaned into the circle chair, "I understand what you mean, but it is impossible to marry Li Miao, you must have heard that I just raised a concubine in the house, and raised a baby in the backyard with a big belly, and people gave birth to a son on the front foot of me, and I married a wife on the back foot, and spread it out, what did I become?" “

"Besides, Li Miao's temperament, I don't care about a girl, but can she tolerate others?" He asked, "Would you like my backyard to catch fire?" “

"Look at what the little marquis said, who doesn't want the house to be safe, how can I hope you start a fire." Mrs. Xing smiled dryly, and looked at Lord Pingkang again, "This matter is not negotiable?" “

"There is a way," Ling Xiao grabbed white, "I guess you don't want to." “

Mrs. Xing immediately turned her head again, "Little Marquis, please speak." “

"The Hou Mansion is not short of chopsticks, Li Miao has to enter the door of the Hou Mansion, it's not impossible," Ling Xiao sipped his tea, "I fulfill your beloved daughter's heart, the side courtyard in the west has been empty, and it is close to my mother's courtyard, so you can live in it." “

Brought in, isn't it also a concubine?

was also pressed by the eldest aunt.

"No way!" Mrs. Xing immediately changed her face, "Miao'er is a concubine, how can she be a concubine!" “

"The eighth girl of Renyun is also a concubine, how can she compromise and seek perfection?" Ling Xiao asked rhetorically, "You keep saying that your cousin loves me, so you love me?" “

Mrs. Xing said that she didn't agree with anything: "She is not a girl in the Beijing circle, how can she compare with Miao'er." “

Ling Xiao sneered: "Auntie, you go to the Beijing circle to inquire, Li Miao never mentions the Li family in the circle, and always says that she is the niece of the county lord of Pingkang, and even the table is gone." “

As he spoke, he raised his head and said arrogantly: "What are you in the Beijing circle?" To put it irreverently, you are trying to stuff Li Miao into the Hou Mansion, why? People live with a face, and it's not interesting to break it. “

"Ling Xiao, your words are becoming more and more impertinent!" The lord of Pingkang County listened to his son's ruthlessness, and felt unbearable, "Anyway, we are cousins, and Aunt Xing is an elder, how can there be a reason that juniors have no rules." “

"It's still the county lord's kindness!" Mrs. Xing stepped down the ladder and began to wipe her tears, "Brother Xiao has grievances, I know it." At the beginning, there was something wrong with Miao'er, and I said her fiercely after I went back, but the girl's family was thin-skinned, and I was inconvenient to say these words. “

"Auntie, don't cry," Ling Xiaopi looked at her with a smile, "My cousin is really sick, it's okay for me to go to visit the patient, it's okay to say something clearly in person." “

Maybe it was an opportunity, Mrs. Xing said goodbye: "That's it, it's okay for the little marquis to take the time to take a look." “

Sending Mrs. Xing away, the county lord of Pingkang pulled Ling Xiao and asked, "What kind of medicine are you and your father selling in the gourd, when I am so fooled?" “

"You should ask my father this," Ling Xiao haha, "I will do things according to the rules, what does his old man say, what do I do." “

Lord Pingkang was unrelenting: "Then what did he say?" “

Ling Xiao Taiji called back: "The old man won't let me say it." “

"You guys!" Lord Pingkang was angry and helpless, "If there is anything in the future, don't expect me to ask the Empress Dowager and do it myself." “

"County Lord Niangniang, Niangniang," Ling Xiao pretended to shout twice at the back of the county lord of Pingkang, "Mother, you want to go out, my son sends it off." “

During lunch, Yun Xiu looked at him speechlessly: "You too, tell your mother-in-law how about two sentences, I don't believe that my father will eat you and make my mother angry for nothing." “

"She's an old man who knows what's going on." Ling Xiao sighed, "I told you before, don't look at her holding it, her heart is very soft, say a few more good words, and then pretend to be pitiful, no matter how much grudge you have, you can pass it." “

"I don't believe it," Yun Xiu shared a lion's head with him, "Mother only cares about her own family, if others hurt you in the slightest, a few words can't pass." “

"That's," Ling Xiao was uneasy, "it hurts, there's no way." “

"Let's make a face, I'm not ashamed." Yun Xiu glanced at him, "When the month is old, the child can hear it, you don't talk to me less, don't teach my son badly." “

"Just your son," Ling Xiao despised her, "Without me, can you give birth?" “

Yun Xiu knocked on the edge of the bowl with chopsticks, "Eat, eat, eat and can't stop your mouth." “

Ling Xiao rarely won a run, and he was in a good mood, so he had to squeeze a quilt with her during a nap, was kicked out, and got into it again.

"Why don't you have a face and no skin?" Yun Xiu pushed him irritably, "Didn't you say you wouldn't touch me?" It's only been a few days, and I can't stand it anymore. “

"I won't touch you," Ling Xiao leaned closer, "and I didn't say that I wouldn't let you touch me, or you would touch me, whatever you want." “

Yun Xiu kicked him without hesitation.

Ling Xiao was also happy: "The little short legs are quite energetic." “

Yun Xiu asked him, "Are you in a panic?" “

Ling Xiao also felt that he owed a child, so he took advantage of the joy of coaxing people and said, "There is one thing, let me tell you in advance, don't turn over the vinegar jar." “

Yun Xiu knew that he was so active today, and he must be holding back: "You talk about things first." “

Ling Xiao hesitated and took the initiative to confess, "I'll go to the Li Mansion in two days to see Li Miao." “

Sure enough, Yun Xiu was unhappy. "Why did you go to see her?"

"Business." He tried his best to make things as smooth as possible, "The main thing I went to see was not to see her, but to see Li Mu." “

Yun Xiu said that he was talking nonsense: "Look at why Li Mu is under the guise of Li Miao? When my three-year-old child is easy to cheat? I know that the guest in the front yard is Mrs. Xing, don't think that I am in bed every day, so I don't know what is going on outside. “

"It's better if you know." Ling Xiao didn't evade, "Li Mu doesn't want to see me, and I won't beg to see him, in short, it's not what you think, I'll tell you, so as not to hear it from other people's mouths and think cranky in the future." “

"What are you?" Yun Xiu softened his tone, "Let me be prepared?" Waiting for you to do bad things. “

"How do you call it a bad thing," Ling Xiao hugged her, sleepy, "Let my father-in-law be completely relieved, you, don't want to be good all day long." “

***

Two days later, he went to Li's mansion as promised, and when Li Miao heard that Ling Xiao came to see her, she was cured of any illness, so she asked the girl to make up, and despite Mrs. Xing's dissuasion, she ran to the flower hall to see her sweetheart.

"I see that your complexion is not bad," Ling Xiao greeted politely, "Where is it uncomfortable?" “

"I just can't sleep well." Li Miao bowed her head shyly and said, "I didn't expect you to be so concerned." “

When Mrs. Xing saw that the two were talking, she couldn't be disturbed by the present, so she found an excuse to withdraw.

There were only two people left in the hall, and Li Miaocai opened up the conversation: "I heard that you carried the concubine's room, is it true?" “

Ling Xiao generously admitted: "People who have traveled thousands of miles from Yangzhou to follow me back to Beijing deserve a name." “

"But in the end, it's just a concubine," Li Miao gloated, "I thought you would have to give Miss Yun the title of wife." “

"Isn't it you?" Ling Xiao didn't have a head or a brain.

It depends on how people understand this, is it because your family is bad, or is the status of the wife left to you, Li Miao thought for a moment, deceived himself and chose the latter, and pretended to be confused: "What's wrong with me?" I can't influence your thoughts. “

Ling Xiao didn't bother to talk nonsense with her, and said it directly: "If you need to say it, I made it clear to your mother, I was going to see your brother today, but think about it, how has he recovered recently?" “

Li Miao was a little disappointed, "I thought you had come to see me." “

"Isn't he seriously injured?" Ling Xiao looked at her inexplicably, "I'm coming to see you, stop by to see him, do you want me to run twice?" “

What a big face!

Li Miao has never been able to figure out Ling Xiao's emotions, she will see people, she is full of joy, and she feels that everything he says is right: "Yes, but you don't have to worry about it, my brother has two legs, and now he eats well and sleeps soundly, and he is no longer like shouting pain all day long." “

"That's good." Ling Xiao slapped his knees with both hands, got up and said, "With your words, I didn't come in vain, okay, I still have to take a step in advance, you take care of yourself." “

"That's leaving?" Li Miao thought that she still had a lot to say, "Don't sit down more?" “

"Don't sit down." Ling Xiao asked her to stay, take three steps and leave in two steps.

Li Miao's eyes sent him back, and she didn't come back to her senses until Mrs. Xing called her.

"Mother, Fang Cai's daughter was tempted and asked Ling Xiao why he didn't give Yun Xiu the title of wife, guess what he said?"

"How?"

"He said that because of me," Li Miao suddenly laughed, "Mother, that fox spirit can be regarded as retribution!" “

Mrs. Xing didn't say anything, and made a look at the mother-in-law beside her.

The mother-in-law immediately understood, pulled Li Miao to the backyard, and coaxed softly: "What the girl said is true, this Chengzi takes care of his body, and something good may happen." “

"I don't need to be reminded by my mother, I naturally know." Li Miao said excitedly, "Since Ming'er, I don't drink medicine, and the little marquis said that I have a good complexion, which proves that I am not sick, and I am not sick to drink any medicine." “

The mother-in-law said yes, "The girl's complexion, the slave also thinks it is very good." “

The voice gradually drifted away, Mrs. Xing's heart ached, this is not sick, I am afraid that the more sick it is, the more ruthless it is, the doctor said that the bell must be tied to the bell, but the bell is here, and it has not improved.

Then from this day on, Li Miao began to make wedding dresses and marry the head, no one in the courtyard dared to persuade her, who said it was wrong, she lost her temper and smashed the house to a pulp, Mrs. Xing said it was useless, there was really no way, she was happy.

Li Shilang came back after a tired day, and he still had to listen to bad things, so he became angry, pointed at Mrs. Xing's nose and scolded: "The two children were killed by you!" What's your bad idea? The Renyun family is willing to send their daughter to be a concubine, the little princess is still harmonious and beautiful, the man is really interested in a woman, he doesn't care about the name at all, is it a new thing to spoil the concubine and kill the wife in the whole capital? ! “

Mrs. Xing beat a drum in her heart, and her face was strong: "But if Miao'er has the status of a wife, she will be honored as Mrs. Hou Mansion outside, and it will also add glory to the Li family." “

"It's to add a face to yourself!" Li Shilang flicked his sleeves angrily, "What's more, Ling Xiao agreed to marry Miao'er as his wife?" Which ear did you hear, the old marquis didn't make any movement over there, he really got married, and he couldn't point to your woman to be the master?! “

Mrs. Xing broke the jar and fell: "Even if Miao'er can't become Mrs. Houfu, the Yun family hasn't fished well, and I'm relieved." “

"You have a hammer to relieve your anger!" Li Shilang still wanted to scold, but there was a sudden sound of eager footsteps under the corridor.

The housekeeper ignored the rules and shouted, "Old, master! Punishment, the people from the Criminal Department are here, and it is thanks to the little Hou Ye to stop him, otherwise he will be arrested and imprisoned immediately! “

Want to arrest Li Mu?

Mrs. Xing suddenly became an ant on the hot pot, and pulled Li Shilang's sleeve and said urgently: "Master! Are they mistaken! Brother Mu is now paralyzed on the bed, what can he do! “

"Don't make noise! Shut up, shut up! Li Shilang was in a trance for a moment, and forced himself to calm down and asked, "Where are the people from the Criminal Department?" “

The butler said, "In the front yard!" “

"Let me go." Li Shilang turned his head and pointed at Mrs. Xing again, and said fiercely, "You stay here for me, if anything goes wrong today, I will leave you with a letter of resignation!" “

"Master," Mrs. Xing pursed her lips and shouted at Li Shilang's back, "Husband and wife are originally the same forest birds, do you really care about decades of love!" “

Li Shilang's heart jumped suddenly, and he couldn't care about his feelings or not, so he only asked the housekeeper: "The little marquis is also here?" “

The housekeeper nodded again and again: "The little marquis is worried that the people from the criminal department will mess around, so he transferred the green-headed knife from the barracks, and the two groups of people are in the front yard, just waiting for you to pass." “

At this time, Li Shilang would never believe that Ling Xiao was here to help him, and his heart was finished.

The sky outside was dark, the people of the Criminal Department held torches, burning and crackling, illuminating the front yard, Ling Xiao sat in the circle chair without hurry, and there were two rows of guards behind him.

Li Shilang took the official document in a panic, his hands trembled, and he couldn't even hold a piece of tissue paper.

"Master Li, do you see clearly?" The chief of the Qing Officials Department bowed his hand and spoke first, "It stands to reason that this matter is under the control of the Privy Council." But someone handed the anonymous letter to the Criminal Department, Lord Shangshu was furious and ordered the subordinate to take the person immediately, but the Hou Ye said that Li Xiao rode to the military aircraft management office, and the subordinate official naturally could not trespass. “

As he spoke, the principal stepped forward, and only the two of them could hear the voice, and said to Li Shilang: "The little marquis personally intercedes and asks the lower officials to save face for the adults, they are all errands, don't be embarrassed by the officials." “

Then he said loudly: "Shangfeng was angry once last year for the case of Xie Supervision, Long Yan, and ordered a detailed investigation, we dare not not be unwilling, today I ask Li Xiaoqi to return to the Criminal Department for questioning." “

"Wait," Ling Xiao interrupted with a raised hand. "Li Xiaoqi was put in the Criminal Department for questioning, and tomorrow the privy envoy will ask, is it the Hou Hou who is on the errand, or is the chief personally replying?"

"This??" The head of the Qing Officials Division reacted quickly, clenched his fists and asked, "Please show the Hou Ye, so that the lower officials can go back and hand over the errand." “

"People, listen to the privy envoy," Ling Xiao said to the guards behind him, "Li Xiao is physically handicapped, you are temporarily guarding outside the hospital, and you must not act recklessly." “

The guards responded in unison.

"Since Master Hou has made the arrangements, the lower official will go back to the Criminal Department to reply." The head of the Qing Officials Division breathed a sigh of relief and bowed and took his leave.

Li Shilang thought that he would finally send off the immortals all the way, and hurriedly gave the housekeeper a look.

The housekeeper knows it. patted the silver in his arms, signaled that it was ready, and greeted with a smile: "Today, all the officials have worked hard, and the small ones have prepared supper, please appreciate the officials' faces." “

As soon as the words fell, Li Miao came out of nowhere, wearing a wedding dress, holding a hijab, and shaking her hand ecstatically: "Ling Xiao!" Why did you pick me up in the middle of the night? “

As soon as she shouted, everyone was stunned, and after looking at each other, they began to exchange heads.

Li Shilang felt that his face was lost, and he said angrily to the mother-in-law who rushed over: "I didn't see that there are people here, why don't you take her back to the backyard quickly!" “

The mother-in-law was silent and dragged Li Miao back.

Li Miao watched herself get farther and farther away from Ling Xiao, suddenly attacked, broke free from the restraints, and screamed, "Ling Xiao! In ancient times, you have caused trouble to people's hearts, do you want to be the second king? I don't know when I was dug out by a fox spirit! “

"It's crazy, it's crazy." Li Shilang looked at his daughter's hideous face in disbelief, only felt strange, and yelled at his mother-in-law, "What are you doing in a daze, take it down!" Lock me up! Shut up! “

Mrs. Xing heard the movement in the front yard, ran out in a panic, saw Li Miao laughing wildly, blocked her heart in one breath, and fainted after crying twice.

How this farce started and ended, no one cared, the next day the entire Beijing circle spread, Hubu Shangshu naturally heard the rumors, the seventy-year-old minister, what conspiracy, bull ghost look has never been seen, sent someone to inquire carefully, on the same day Li Shilang in and out of Shangshu Mansion token, admonished him to Qi family first and then talk about Anbang.

Mrs. Xing trembled and dragged her sick body to kneel outside the study, Li Shilang turned a blind eye, the barracks guards did not withdraw, and once Li Mu's crime was implemented, it was about to lead to destruction.

The corners of his mouth foamed overnight, and he didn't care about the pain, so he explained to Li Qing: "You go to beg the little marquis, no matter what, you want him to look at the past relationship between the two families." We went bankrupt to fill in the hole of greedy ink first, just to let go of a way to live. “

Li Qing pondered, "Father, don't worry, the eldest brother was supervised by the old Marquis Ling to join the Privy Council, if it is really exposed, the Ling family will also be implicated." “

"It is they who are implicated that we have a glimmer of hope!" Li Shilang slapped the table and shouted, "If you hadn't been implicated, your eldest brother would have gone in last night!" After entering the prison of the Criminal Department, it is more difficult to come out than to ascend to the sky! Can I tell you, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has also received anonymous letters, but the Qi family suppressed it, is it possible to wait until the three divisions will try it and regret it? Stupid donkey! “

"Father. You are angry, and your son has a way. Li Qing said unhurriedly, "The order of the son Xiao Cavalry Captain has been issued, you might as well take advantage of this time to make your son the second son, and walk around with the Ling family in the future, and also have three points of face, it is better than being stabbed in the back with the charge of the eldest brother." “

"You, you??" Li Shilang laughed angrily, "Second child, second child, my father really underestimates you, you use this trick to take advantage of people's danger!" For his own selfishness, he didn't even care about brotherhood. “

Li Qing was not annoyed: "Father, how did you miss brotherhood when the eldest brother was in the limelight?" If you will listen to your son's idea, he will say it. “

"Say it." Li Shilang was full of vicissitudes and couldn't raise his hand, "I'll hear what flowers you say." “

Li Qing said: "My son personally sent Li Mu and Li Miao brothers and sisters back to their hometown, no one in the capital saw them, and the turmoil passed sooner or later." “

You can't harm the other sons because of the eldest son, and the palms and backs of your hands will be full of meat.

Li Shilang beat himself bitterly: "I shouldn't have listened to the outside!" It's all my fault for being confused! “

Li Qing didn't comfort him, nor did he help his father sit down, he stood aside quietly with an expressionless face, and thought with raised eyebrows, you also have today??

When the matter reached the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, the old marquis was pruning the green plants in the small courtyard, and he didn't raise his eyes, and asked Ling Xiao: "Li Qing really said that?" “

"Well, there's another thing," Ling Xiao hesitated, "Li Qing was a stableman before, and his son went to the stable to return the horse two days ago, and found that the old horse was missing because of his eye disease. “

"If you don't see it, you won't see it, people will be born, old, sick and die, let alone animals." Old Marquis Ling put down the scissors, got up and patted the soil on his hands, "Li Qing is a smart person, he knows where to go, you just remember that the hole in greedy ink must be filled, the Li family may not be able to take it out for a while, Yun Yushi is not a coward, let him help the lining, let the Li family know what it means to repay grievances with virtue." “

Ling Xiao said in his heart that the old man's layout is okay, and he learned another trick, "My son remembers." “
