Chapter 88: Do you want to rebel?
When Ling Xiao's car passed in front of the hanging flower gate, Yun Xiu did not hesitate to lift her skirt and turned to leave.
He knew she must be angry, but he couldn't.
"Grandma, the little marquis saw you just now." Chunliu helped her and whispered, "The slave thinks that the little marquis is not an unsympathetic person in addition to being good to you." “
Yun Xiu raised his hand and motioned not to say any more, "Chunliu, I'm tired, let's go back to the house first." “
Chunliu sighed.
Yun Xiu is really tired, not tired, but physically tired, she is afraid that the lord of Pingkang will be unhappy after waiting for a long time, she didn't even sleep in the afternoon, and she started to dress up and cook after lunch.
She asked Chunliu to remove her hair, prepared hot water, and took a bath, so she had no distractions to make up for the lunch break.
Chunliu didn't know that her grandmother could still sleep at this time, she sighed and shook her head, and gently closed the door when she went out.
At the same time, the Empress Dowager was too old to go to the Imperial Garden. Those who came early went directly to Shoukang Palace to ask for peace, the county lord of Pingkang and Mrs. Wen had different identities, and the empress dowager exempted them from safety early, and asked the two juniors to go directly to the imperial garden and so on.
Mrs. Wen waited for the four people to be less before asking, "Why don't you see your girl?" Today's palace banquet, the emperor and the edict are all granted, and your bride Hui Zhenlan heart should be brought out for a long time, and it will also make the queen mother happy for the elderly, and Brother Xiao is really married. “
"But the daughter of the salt patrol imperial historian can't talk about seeing or not knowing." The county lord of Pingkang was a little less disguised and a little more emotional, "I also want to say a word to you, I am not satisfied with Brother Xiao'er's family business." However, he is very obsessed with this girl. “
"This is a lover with the old marquis," Mrs. Wen smiled lightly and persuaded euphemistically, "Since you are as the child wants, you simply do it to the end, I envy you, only worry about one, the three in my family, I feel that I have not yet opened my mind." “
"Brother Ying'er doesn't have it either?" Lord Pingkang changed the topic without revealing a trace, "He's not too young." “
Mrs. Wen sighed: "Maybe fate has not yet arrived." “
Fate is such a thing?? The county lord of Pingkang thought sourly in his heart, looking at the entire Beijing circle, the fate of each family is good, how can Ling Xiao pick and choose a leak.
More than halfway through the day. The sky is completely dark, a full moon is in the sky, the twelve salutes on the palace wall are fired in unison, and the air explodes with a brilliant fireworks, which are colorful, bringing a lot of surprises to the women who enjoy the moon in the imperial garden.
Yun Xiu sat in the courtyard, asked Chunliu to take out the kang table, put refreshments and moon cakes, and asked the girl to stand in the courtyard to enjoy the fireworks in the palace.
After a long time, she opened her mouth and asked the people around her: "This is our first Mid-Autumn Festival in the capital, right?" “
Chunliu nodded yes, and was afraid of making the eldest grandmother sad, so she asked with a smile: "Grandma, the Dingguo Mansion sent the roasted mutton, the old lady sent the pagoda crisp and Yangzhou snacks, and other portals sent food, would you like to taste a little of the same?" “
Yun Xiu didn't have much appetite, "Let it go, maybe the county lord and the old marquis are hungry when they come back and need supper." “
The salute lasted for more than half an hour, and after the last salute was blown up, Chunliu said to the others: "Grandma needs to rest, let's disperse." “
A group of girls and mother-in-law retreated.
Chunliu turned to Yun Xiu again: "Grandma, the night is cool, let's go into the house." “
"Wait." Yun Xiu stroked her stomach and nestled in the circle chair, "Go get a cloak and cover it for me." “
Chunliu sighed, turned around and went into the house and came out again.
"Is Grandma there?" An unfamiliar voice sounded outside the courtyard gate, "The slave is on the order of the little marquis, please come over." “
"Where are you going?" Chunliu asked vigilantly, "Who are you who dare to use the name of the little marquis to trespass into the Hou Mansion?" “
"The eldest grandmother misunderstood," the mother-in-law walked in, standing under the porch and squatting to Yun Xiu, "The slave is the new steward of the small house, the small over there, plus the slave, there are only three servants, and the little marquis ordered the slave to personally pick up the eldest grandmother." “
Wasn't Ling Xiao at the palace banquet, Yun Xiu wondered: "Where is the little marquis?" “
"It's still at the palace banquet," the mother-in-law replied respectfully, "but the coachman just came to the small mansion to find the slave, and said that the little marquis confessed before entering the palace, and when the palace banquet is halfway through, he will take the eldest grandmother over, and said that he will go over later." “
Yun Xiu didn't hesitate at all, got up and helped Chunliu: "Let's go now." “
The room in the small house seems to have been arranged, the incense burner burns with a faint jasmine fragrance, the hot water in the bathtub is just right, and the thick water surface is scattered with rose petals, wafting the smell of flowers.
The curtain of the box bed was replaced with the vermilion color that he liked to use, and it was tied high by the beaded curtain hook, and the beaded curtains of Qingshui and Tian Yu made a pleasant and crisp sound under the plucking of their fingertips, swaying back and forth, and Yun Xiu laughed clearly in his chest.
She removed her hair, bathed in incense, leaned back on the bed and waited, only to wait and fall asleep.
When Ling Xiao will come back, she doesn't know, she only knows that she smells a very faint smell of wine in a daze, and then she feels a little cold on her shoulder, then her back, and then a warm touch sticks up.
When Yun Xiu was sober, there was no room for resistance.
Outside the glass window, the full moon hangs high, the silver glow is bright, the shadows of the trees are bright, a gust of night wind blows, and the brushed corner lamps under the porch keep swinging back and forth.
Ling Xiao hugged her and fell asleep again, it was the third watch.
The first day of the palace banquet, the ministers accompanied the young emperor to have a great situation of not getting drunk and not returning, Ling Xiao sat in the imperial seat, and escaped by luck, he anxiously waited for the end, and rushed to the small mansion non-stop, and saw the beauty who fell asleep at the head of the bed, and the tight strings in his brain suddenly broke. The point must have been missed, but fortunately, the next day, he slept until three poles.
Subconsciously stretched out his hand to fish for people, and fished out the air, Ling Xiao opened his eyes instantly, quickly got up, and saw Yun Xiu sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals peeling oranges, and his hanging heart fell.
"When did you get up?" He picked up the jacket he had prepared and asked, "Why didn't you wake me up?" “
"You slept soundly in the morning, and I want you to sleep more." Yun Xiu smiled, "Hurry up, I asked the kitchen to make lo mein, which is your favorite meat sauce." “
"You're not sick, are you?" Ling Xiao looked at her stomach and remembered, "I was too sleepy to pay attention to later." “
"Can I sit here and peel oranges for you?" Yun Xiu laughed at him for being stupid, "I thought you weren't here last night." “
Ling Xiao went over and threw an orange into his mouth, "I'm not coming, why bother to take you out, anyway, you also want to live in a small house, it's good to have two in one." “
"You're going to save trouble." Yun Xiu asked him. "When will we be home?"
"Not back." Ling Xiao waved his hand, as if making a major decision, "The small house is quiet, and it is easy to raise a fetus, so let's leave it at that." “
Yun Xiu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then laughed out loud, just joking: "You're not going back either?" “
"Yes," Ling Xiao asked very calmly, "You don't want me to accompany you?" “
"I miss you every day." Yun Xiu stuffed the peeled orange into his mouth, "But if you don't go back, won't your father-in-law say it?" What if you have an urgent business to ask you for? “
Ling Xiao asked her to worry less about the sky, "There is a privy envoy in the Privy Council, my father is in the military department, and he will not overstep the level to find me." “
Although Yun Xiu didn't understand the relationship between the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, he followed Xie Zongren in his previous life, and he knew a little about the officialdom, so he smiled and said: "You just don't pay attention to your father-in-law." “
"Eleven thousand, no." Ling Xiao said that he was hungry, and knocked his index finger on the table, "Didn't you make lo mein, noodles?" “
Yun Xiu asked him to wait a while, called "Spring willow, set the rice", and after a while, two bowls of noodles, with shredded green onions, egg strips, shredded cucumbers, salt, shallots, and coriander, were served on the table with seven or eight small plates.
The two ate noodles, and no one mentioned the palace banquet, nor did they discuss what would happen if they didn't go back.
Yun Xiu doubted that the county lord of Pingkang knew how many gold bricks the Yun family had pasted to make up for the Li family's holes, Yun Yushi was a timid and selfish person, she had never seen her father dig into the family so generously.
Think about it, what is the purpose of the Yun family taking so much money?
Don't you want to get the right eyes of your in-laws for your daughter?
When raising the concubine, Yun Xiu hated the hole of the clouds, hated him for being weak and cowardly, but he calmed down and asked himself, did he really watch the Yun family exile for his own selfish desires, or pull him to the vegetable market and behead all the doors?
Yun Xiu didn't dare to think deeply, the old lady's nurturing grace could not be repaid.
In short, the little male and female are nested in the small mansion, which is no different from the life of the Hou Mansion.
Ling Xiao was very willing, and he didn't have to worry about the disaster. The ban has been lifted, but it can't be completely happy, and Yun Xiu has to be more leisurely, even so he is satisfied, something is better than nothing.
In a flash, Yun Xiu has been almost six months, his actions have become more and more clumsy, and the weather has become much colder.
The Hou Mansion sent thick clothes twice, but there was no intention that the two of them wanted to come back.
Seeing that the leaves on the branches were bald, the county lord of Pingkang couldn't sit still anymore, ran to the study in the front yard, and asked the old marquis angrily: "You are really calm, they ran out for almost two months without saying a word, do you want to rebel?" Do you want me, a mother-in-law, to ask them to come back?! “
The old marquis and the old god were raising their eyelids, "I think it's good that they don't come back, it's quiet." “
"What do you mean? Scolding me for being the initiator? The county lord of Pingkang suddenly stood up, "I tried my best for the Ling family, and it was all done to you, right?" The concubine wants to ask, don't you want your children and grandchildren to prosper? “
The old marquis asked, "I've thought too much, is everything as I wish?" “
"If you can't do everything as you wish, you have to think about it as you wish," Lord Pingkang turned red, "The concubine doesn't understand, so what's so good about Yunxiu?" You usually say that I am used to Brother Xiaoer, are you not used to it? Brother Xiao went back to give you eye medicine, and you answered his request that night. How many good girls from high families are in this palace banquet, which one is not better than the Yun family in terms of origin and appearance, this will be good, she has become a wife, and she is not even allowed to enter the concubine room! “
"The good girl of Gaomen is not for Ling Xiao." The old marquis said, "Now that Shangfeng is young and strong, it is the time to expand the harem and balance the forces of various parties, can the person in the Empress Dowager give you?" “
Of course not, the lord of Pingkang suddenly squib.
"Pay attention to the golden mean for officials," the old marquis put down the book in his hand, "Ling Xiao is neither top-notch nor last-notch, a smooth and smooth life, isn't it exactly what you expect?" The Yun family has a rich background, and Yun Yu Shi was born as a scholar. “
After a pause, "There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck, and you still need me to teach you where you make money in the officialdom?" At the moment of crisis, it is the benefactor who takes out real money to save you, and not everyone is a hole in the clouds. “
At the end of the words, the rest of the Pingkang County Lord pondered and pondered, and they thought it through.
"What do you mean, let them go?" The county lord sat down again, his arrogance three points shorter, "But Yunxiu doesn't take my mother-in-law seriously, do you know that the concubine sent Yuxiang twice, and both times she was brought back by Brother Xiao'er, that was Brother Xiao'er's idea?" Yun Xiu didn't mix it? “
"Everything is measured," the old marquis didn't care about the shortcomings of the parents, but said, "Your son is not stupid, and I am not confused, or that sentence, the house is peaceful." “
"Why don't concubines want to be peaceful," Lord Pingkang sighed, "The concubine still wants to be happy on her knees, and her children and grandchildren are full, but Brother Xiao'er has an incense." “
"That's it, that's it," the old marquis waved his hand and took a step back, "I'll pick up people when Yun Xiu is about to give birth." “
The county lord of Pingkang waited for the old man's words, and agreed repeatedly, "Concubine Ming'er will bring a message to Brother Xiao'er and ask them to be prepared." “
The next day, Kang's mother went to the small house to spread the word, and left after speaking.
Yun Xiu waited for Ling Xiao to come back in the afternoon, with a little frustration: "Father-in-law said that I have to move back when I am about to give birth." “
"No," Ling Xiao was skeptical, "my father never cares about the family's affairs. “
"What Kang's mother said, can there be a fake?" Yun Xiu was angry, and threw the meat skin into Ling Xiao's bowl, "What did the eighty percent mother-in-law say to her father-in-law, otherwise which round will get the word from Kang's mother." “
The old man spoke, Ling Xiao didn't dare to take it seriously, "Go back at that time, and come out again when you are born." “
"Why should you give birth to a baby and buy turnips and cabbage?" Yun Xiu glanced at him with disgust, "After giving birth, I still have to be confined, even if my mother-in-law allows us to come out, I will never give us the baby eldest grandson." “
Ling Xiao couldn't wait: "Then give her an old man's home, there is something to do, don't think about it all day." “
"The co-author isn't yours?" Yun Xiu felt that he threw his brain to the Privy Council and didn't bring it back, "The parents are here, how can there be any reason to throw the child to the grandmother." “
"You have it, you have the final say on everything," Ling Xiao had a headache when he heard this, "Let's say okay first, you stay in the Hou Mansion, and if anything happens, don't be angry with me." “
"I'll take your breath out of it." Yun Xiu snorted, "See what you can do with me." “
"That's what you said." Ling Xiao suddenly leaned in and smacked his face.
"The oil is all on my face!" Yun Xiu wiped it with a handkerchief, and at the same time added his fists, "Deng's disciple!" “
Ling Xiao got the advantage and smiled brightly, "Besides, it's good to have you tonight." “
"It's not necessarily who makes the other better." Yun Xiu muttered, "Relying on a few taels more meat than women, I am used to bullying people." “
Ling Xiao didn't hear clearly, "You say it again?" “
Yun Xiu smirked: "If you don't say good things a second time, praise you!" “
Ling Xiao guessed that she didn't hold back any good fart, pinched her chin, and wanted to kiss her, but Yun Xiu held her hands against her and screamed: "You have oil in your mouth, you are disgusting to death!" “
Chunliu, who was standing outside the door, looked at the sky habitually, and the new housekeeper didn't understand the taste of the little marquis and the eldest grandmother, so she asked quietly: "Miss Chunliu, don't you knock on the door and ask?" I'm afraid that after a while, Hou Yezhi will be disrespectful. “
Chunliu replied with a smile: "Mom, don't worry about it, you won't." “
As he was talking, the little guy guarding the door came in to report that the girl from the Qin family was here.
There are two girls from the Qin family, Chunliu asked, what does the person look like.
The little guy said, who came on horseback, dressed like a master.
Chunliu knew who it was, turned around and knocked on the door, and whispered, "Grandma, Miss Qin has come to see you, just outside the gate." “
The room suddenly fell silent, and after a while, Yun Xiu opened the door, her cheeks were crimson, and she coughed lightly: "Hurry up and invite someone to sit in the hall, I will change my clothes and come." “
As she spoke, she looked into the room again, "Eat slowly, I'll sit with her for a while." “
Ling Xiao said okay.
"It's not a coincidence that I'm here," Qin Sasa blew the wind all the way, blowing his mouth dry, and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, "I went to the Hou Mansion yesterday to find you, and I pounced on it, and today I asked my brother to ask Ling Xiao to know that you ran here." “
She looked outside the house, "It's a chic little courtyard." “
"Aunt Qin, have you eaten?" Ling Xiao leaned under the pillar and smacked his lips, "Just you?" Where's your brother? “
"I'm here to find Xiuxiu, what is he doing here?" Qin Sasa looked at the other side, "Jizhou Mingjiao'er is holding a meeting in the General's Mansion, are you going?" “
Ling Xiao scoffed, "What is the famous character in Jizhou?" “
"You don't forget it," Qin Sasa glanced at him angrily, and looked at Yun Xiu again, "I was also looking for you, but I didn't find it yesterday, and I came to look for it again today, which is enough to prove my sincerity." “
Yun Xiu smiled: "It's just like that, if you invite me twice, I will definitely go." “
As she spoke, she looked at Ling Xiao again, "Let's go together, we can't let Sassa run twice." “
"Just give Grandma Ling a face," Ling Xiao reluctantly agreed, "Don't take it as an example." “
Qin Sa snorted: "Virtue! “
She rode a horse first, and Ling Xiao and Yun Xiu sat in the car.
When Qin Ying saw the Ling family and his wife, his head suddenly grew. Called Qin Sasa, "I said that you rely on a little bit to make it, aunt, Renyunxiu is inconvenient, you also asked her to play, and her brain was kicked by a donkey?" “
Qin Sasa didn't feel inappropriate: "I asked her, and she agreed." “
Ling Xiao was afraid of the two siblings, and played a round: "Don't worry, she is always locked up at home and panicked, and she came out just in time." “
As he spoke, he asked, "Who are you today?" Don't say it's just your family, I still have to go and greet General Qin. “
"My father and mother are out," Qin Ying led the way, "just play polo." The women were invited by Sasa, and they also said that they would go out for supper after the church would sing, I guess you would choke enough. “
Ling Xiao said, "I'm not going, Yun Xiu's situation has to be followed." “
Qin Sa held Yun Xiu and quipped: "I didn't see that Ling Xiaohou loves his daughter-in-law so much." “
Qin Ying snorted, and his eyes flew out of the knife.
The hall of the general's mansion will be arranged in the back garden by the lotus pond, there is a vacant space in front of the lotus pond, you can set up a platform, there is a warm pavilion to rest on the opposite side, the second floor of the girl, the first floor of the master.
Ling Xiao personally sent Yun Xiu up to the corridor on the second floor before going down.
Qin Qingsu, who hadn't seen him for a long time, secretly glanced down. sighs all the time, the little marquis is so good.
But when Yun Xiu passed by her, Qin Qingsu hurriedly withdrew his gaze and pretended to listen carefully.
Yun Xiu's spirit is not as good as before, she came out to walk around for a while, she felt tired, she listened to it for less than half an hour, she couldn't stand it anymore, said goodbye to Qin Sa, and went back.
Qin Qingsu sat on the second floor, looking at the backs of the two of them from a distance, and felt a strong sense of envy, "Sasa, I just heard you chatting with Grandma Ling, saying that she and the little Hou Ye moved out of the Hou Mansion?" “
Qin Sa watched the play, and hummed without thinking, "What are you asking for?" “
"What can I do, I want to take the time to visit my grandmother." Qin Qingsu smiled dryly, "Don't be like you when the time comes, pounce on the air." “
"Well, you have a good idea." Qin Sasa came back to his senses and nodded, "My brother was right just now, it's inconvenient for Xiuxiu to come out now, we can visit from time to time, and we don't have to meet with the elders, it's good, it's good." “
"I think Lord Pingkang likes you a lot." The more Qin Qingsu was weak-hearted, the more he talked, "Why don't you want to take care of yourself." “
"Don't you pretend to be tired?" Qin Sasa had no heart or lungs, "You know that I don't like red tape the most, but you have to act in front of the elders, it's okay once or twice, but you can't stand it for a long time." “
"Yes, Lord Pingkang likes girls with good rules?" A thought suddenly flashed in Qin Qingsu's heart, "But the elders must like serious girls." “
Qin Sassa thought she talked a lot: "Hey, do you watch the drama or not?" “
"Look, look, I'll see." Qin Qingsu saw that she was unhappy, so she hurriedly touched her hair, "After you finish reading, I'll talk again." “
Qin Sassa no longer paid attention to it. Qin Qingsu looked at Tsing Yi on the stage, and his thoughts wandered.
The mind is full of Ling Xiao's departing figure, with broad shoulders and a thin waist, a straight back, and when he doesn't speak, he gives people a kind of toughness that cannot be ignored.
At first, she couldn't understand why she had feelings of joy and fear, after two months, she met again, and suddenly realized that everything originated from Ling Xiao's eyes, maybe even he didn't realize it, except for the gentleness towards Yun Xiu, looking at other people, according to the distance of the relationship. Intentionally or unintentionally, it shows a kind of disdain, and a deep pool of coldness.
If there is a murderous aura again, Qin Qingsu thinks of Xiang Yu and Yu Ji.
She thought to herself that Ling Xiao would be heroic and invincible when she put on the robe of the Overlord of Western Chu.
Qin Sasa found Qin Qingsu smirking inexplicably more than once, calling two voices, "What do you think, you can't close your mouth with joy, after the play is finished, are you still stupid?" “
Qin Qingsu hurriedly retracted his thoughts, sat down and lowered his head, for fear of being seen abnormally, "Can't I taste the aftertaste?" “
"Okay, you go back and savor it slowly." Qin Sasa shook her head helplessly, "Let's go, Miss Qin, my brother has already arranged the car." “
Qin Qingsu went back late, the courtyards were locked, she whispered and begged the mother-in-law on duty to open the door, knocked on the door for a long time, only heard the snoring in the door like thunder, and didn't know whether she slept deeply or pretended not to hear.
She didn't have a way, and took the personal girl to the West Corner Gate to find a sheltered corner to squat.
The night of late autumn in Yanjing is not much different from winter, the master and servant hold for warmth, shivering in the cold north wind, until the next day when the sky is bright and the courtyards are reopened.
Qin Qingsu returned to the house and began to have a fever.
The eldest lady came to see her once, and did not set foot in her courtyard again.
Waiting for Qin Sasa and his party to know, it was three days later, and Yun Xiu knew even later, but she was pregnant and couldn't visit the hospital, so she asked Chunliu to prepare some snacks and pastries that the girl's family loved to eat, and a two-layer food box full of two-layer food boxes to give to Qin Qingsu.
Qin Qingsu gladly accepted and asked Chunliu to thank him.
Yun Xiu inquired about the matter, and felt very sympathetic to this girl, it was not easy for the side to come out, so he asked Chunliu to send food every once in a while.
Until one day, Chunliu took back the things sent untouched, and asked puzzledly: "Grandma, doesn't Miss Susu know that you are in the small house?" “
Yun Xiu: "What's wrong?" “
Chunliu 1510 replied: "The slave maid didn't meet Miss Susu, so she asked her mother-in-law in the yard, and people said that the girl went to the Hou Mansion to find the eldest grandmother." “
