Hu Shi was a little worried that his previous words would be heard by Mrs. Lou, but Zheng Xian'er didn't care, and got up to greet her with a smile.

The maids and ladies at the door were busy again, adding lamps and preparing wine, and they were happy.

Mrs. Lou sat down and asked Hu Shidao, "What is going on with the case of the two brothers?" ”

Hu Shi smiled a little reluctantly: "It's still like that." The uncle said that it was the eldest prince of Li who vouched for them, and begged many times, and Li County gave them a day to go home for the New Year. ”

"Just for one day?" Mrs. Lou frowned.

Hu sighed: "Yes." At the latest, they must go back to prison by tomorrow evening, and no one will be punished. ”

"Those bastards! Under the Chinese New Year, what if they stay at home for two more days! Mrs. Lou was so angry that she slapped the table and scolded angrily.

Hu Shi thought for a moment and hesitated: "I heard in a trance...... After the New Year, they will go to the capital to be tried. ”

"Really going?" Zheng Xian'er couldn't help but stand up.

Mrs. Lou sighed: "I knew that there was today, we should have made more preparations before leaving Beijing!" Now that there is no place for us to stay in the capital, their brothers have entered the capital, but they are afraid of ......"

"Mother can rest assured for the time being, things may still have a turnaround!" Lou Que turned the screen and said with a smile.

"What turnaround?" Mrs. Lou and Hu stood up together.

Lou Que helped Mrs. Lou to go back to her place and sit down, and beckoned Lou Min and Aunt An to sit down, and then said with a smile: "This case was originally decided to be tried by Dali Temple, but now the people in Dali Temple are about to die, where can I take care of this!" Li County ordered Ken to let us go home for the New Year, which means that the top is not paying close attention to this case. Regardless of whether you go to the capital or not after the year, this case will always drag on for a while. ”

Zheng Xian'er immediately asked, "What has Dali Temple been busy with lately?" Do you check the rumors in various places? ”

Lou Que said with a smile: "Dali Temple will not personally go to various places to investigate cases, but when there are big cases, they will be responsible for trial and review." This time, the rumors made a big fuss, and I heard that many high-ranking officials in the capital had been found to be involved in the case, and they would have to be tried in three sessions at that time. Dali Siqing is anxious at this time, how can he pay attention to us! ”

Mrs. Lou breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and then sighed: "It's not a way to drag it all the time!" Are you two brothers going to stay in prison all the time? Not to mention ......"

Zheng Xian'er was concerned about another question: "We can't inquire about anything outside, you can't see outsiders in prison, how can you know more than us?" ”

Lou Que smiled at her, and said inscrutablely: "You should be the one who Yanqing told me!" ”

Zheng Xian'er pursed her lips dissatisfiedly.

"The right should be" Li Geng told him, which means that it was not Li Geng who told him.

She really couldn't figure it out. During this period of time, the pigeons in the capital have not returned, and there are no mysterious people who have come to Lou Que to pass on the news, so how did she pass on the secrets that she couldn't ask?

Lou Que didn't plan to solve Zheng Xian'er's doubts. He raised his head and smiled at Mrs. Lou, and said calmly: "Mother, just rest assured, I don't know if the case will drag on, but we will definitely not live in the prison in Sangyu County for too long." ”

As soon as these words came out, even Lou Min couldn't help but be surprised: "Do you really know something?" ”

Lou Que lifted the wine jug and filled everyone's cups, and said with a smile: "Under the New Year's Festival, don't talk about those frustrating things." During this time, our brother was not in the house, and my mother and aunt worked hard to keep the house, so we should toast! ”

Aunt Ann had apparently cried again not long ago, her eyes swollen like peaches, but there was still a decent smile on the corners of her lips: "I have always been a useless; Min's daughter-in-law only cares about you, and she can't do anything; It's been these days, and it's all about the wife and the third ...... inside and out. Xian'er is worried about being affected. If you want to toast, you should also toast the two of them first. ”

Zheng Xian'er couldn't help laughing: "What did my aunt say 'Sanxian'er'!" ”

Mrs. Lou glared at her and smiled: "You are becoming more and more arrogant!" ”

Zheng Xian'er immediately continued: "I'm a person who is relatively easy to float, my wife and aunt spoil me so much, don't I just be pampered and arrogant!" ——Come, first respect Mrs., I wish my wife a long and healthy life, and eat so well! ”

Mrs. Lou raised her glass and sighed: "Let's respect the master first!" ”

Aunt An hurriedly smiled: "Today, the master's spirit is much better, and he is so happy to see the children come back." The doctor said that after the New Year, the weather will be warm, and the old man's body is expected to be better. ”

"It's a great joy." Mrs. Lou smiled faintly and drank with everyone.

Naturally, they persuaded each other a few more glasses with various overt eyes, and the topic was only chosen to be relaxed and happy. Mrs. Lou and Aunt An both smiled, looking very happy and harmonious.

But Zheng Xian'er always felt that everyone didn't seem to be really happy.

It is understandable that Aunt An is sad, after all, she has just lost a son. No matter how angry and sad that son usually is, it is suddenly gone, and as a mother, she will inevitably be sad.

The sadness between Mrs. Lou's eyebrows made Zheng Xian'er a little puzzled.

Is it because the lawsuit has not yet been settled? Is it because you are worried about the future of the house? Or is it because I think of another son?

Zheng Xian'er secretly thought: If people live to be forty or fifty years old, and they are still too obsessed with "consummation", I am afraid that they will never be happy for the rest of their lives.

During the New Year's holidays, every family wants to be "reunited", but who can really "reunite"?

There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have good and bad luck, who is not walking on the road of "loss" all the way!

It's not easy to live, you should be happy for a day to live, and you should be content and happy!

Zheng Xian'er tugged at the corners of her mouth and laughed stupidly.

Lou Que sat opposite her, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked Yan'er to step forward and help her: "It can't be drunk, right?" ”

Hu Shi frowned: "Not really, right?" She only drank two or three glasses, and she cheated and secretly poured out more than half of it every time! ”

"It's hard to say," Lou Que shook his head, "She doesn't drink very well, and the wine is even worse......"

Mrs. Lou put down her chopsticks and smiled clearly: "She is not used to drinking, and it is understandable that the amount of alcohol is not good." This year, the old man is sick, and you don't have to stay here to keep the New Year, why don't you send her back! Min'er will also go back with your daughter-in-law, don't worry about us. ”

Lou Que agreed, and hurriedly came over to help Zheng Xian'er up, and saw that she was so drunk that she couldn't open her eyes, and she couldn't stand on her feet.

Everyone was a little amused when they saw it, and Mrs. Lou scolded with a smile: "You can't drink it, you have to drink it, this one is unproductive!" ”

It was easy to get out of the door of Ning Xuantang, and Lou Que didn't care that there was a maid next to him, so he bent down and scooped up Zheng Xian'er, hugged him and left.

When she walked through a long corridor and walked to the sandwich road behind the study, Zheng Xian'er opened her eyes and smiled: "Let me down!" ”

Lou Que refused.

Zheng Xian'er smiled and knocked him on the shoulder: "Let me down!" I'm not drunk! ”

Lou Que glared at her angrily: "I know you're not drunk!" Who do you think can't see that you're pretending? ”

"Isn't it? Am I not pretending to be? Zheng Xian'er was surprised.

Lou Que sighed and carefully put her down: "If you want to pretend to be drunk, you have to drink a few more glasses to be presentable!" So obvious deception can still get drunk, who are you fooling? ”

Zheng Xian'er said aggrievedly: "But I'm really a little dizzy...... Originally, I wanted to drink a few more glasses, but today I don't know why, and I feel annoyed when I smell the wine! ”

"Really?" Lou Que reached out and hugged her waist, still holding most of her weight on himself: "I believe what you say, but others won't believe it!" Mother and eldest brother and sister-in-law, they will definitely think that you are pretending to be drunk in order to go back with me early, and the girls over there in Ning Xuantang must be laughing at you at this time! ”

"Huh?!" Zheng Xian'er wailed, "Then wouldn't I have no face to see people when I catch up with Ming'er?" ”

Lou Que said nonchalantly: "Actually, you have always been quite shameless." ”

"Not really! I'm so thick-skinned, how can I have no face! Zheng Xian'er is right.

Such an accurate self-perception made Lou Que speechless.

When passing by the gate of Hanxiangzhai, Zheng Xian'er let go of Lou Que's hand and lowered her head.

Lou Que was keenly aware of her emotions, and immediately grabbed her hand back: "What? Still worried about the second brother? ”

Zheng Xian'er looked at the begonia door of Han Xiangzhai worriedly: "This time he colluded with outsiders and calculated the entire Lou family. Even if I don't pursue it, my wife will never spare his life. ”

"So you don't have to feel guilty." Lou Que tightened the ribbon on her cloak, covering her face completely, carefully shielding her from the wind.

Zheng Xian'er raised her head, with some worry in her eyes: "I won't feel guilty, it's polite that I didn't cut him off!" I'm just a little worried, Aunt An's reaction is really too bland! When the second brother was killed with a cane, she didn't intercede, and she only shed a few tears when people died in front of her, and in a blink of an eye, she talked and laughed with us - as if it was not her own son who died! ”

Lou Que pondered for a long time, and finally smiled: "The second brother has never been a worry-free person, and he always has to make some trouble every once in a while to make my aunt suffer, not to mention that this time the second brother wants to plan the whole house, and he doesn't make any plans for his aunt." Aunt An is probably completely disappointed in him! ”

"No," Zheng Xian'er's brows were still not stretched, "Even if the children are not good in a thousand ways, it is difficult for a mother to overcome the nature of protecting the calf, not to mention that now that the person is dead, all the bad things have passed!" Aunt An remembered the mother-son relationship in the past, how could she not resent me and my wife? Especially me...... If I hadn't been publicized, Lou Min would have been able to skip death! ”

This time, Lou Que's brows were also twisted.

If you think about it carefully, Aunt An's performance today is indeed a little unreasonable.

But it would be too arbitrary to infer that there is something wrong with this person based on this "unreasonable" alone.

After all, for so many years, Aunt An has always been cautious and has never done anything too out of the ordinary. Maybe she just didn't dare to cry and cry at this time, or maybe she was indifferent and not attached to her children's affection?

Lou Que told Zheng Xian'er these thoughts, but Zheng Xian'er was a little unimpressed:

Haven't done anything too out of the ordinary? How did Zhu Jinlan's child count before?

After so many years of being cautious, does it necessarily mean that person is honest and responsible?

What's more, the clay figure still has a bit of a muddy temperament, who can guarantee that she will not suddenly do anything unbelievable under her great compassion?

Zheng Xian'er does not plan to talk to Lou Que about these worries at this moment.

His own affairs are enough to disturb him, and his family affairs are ...... Let's leave it at that!

Isn't there a saying that "the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge"!

The Chinese New Year's Eve lighting rule is to burn lights all night, and every lane and promenade in the garden is full of lanterns, and everywhere is brightly lit.

Zheng Xian'er squinted her eyes at the lights in the distance, and sighed: "It's good to look at this garden anywhere during the day, but at night, I always feel a little crazy in the dark." At the end of the year, only the night of Chinese New Year's Eve is brightly lit, which is the most pleasing to the eye. ”

"It's just a bit of a burn." Lou Que brought the topic back to reality with one sentence.

Zheng Xian'er rolled her eyes at him and complained: "When I was in my mother's house, I was worried about money every day, and after marrying into the Lou family, I finally had no worries about food and clothing, but you still made me worry about money!" Can't I live a few days in my life and spend money casually without feeling distressed? ”

Lou Que smiled: "I'm afraid that you were born to worry about money, even if I hold the gold and silver mountains in front of you and let you spend them casually, you will still feel distressed!" ”

Zheng Xian'er sneered disdainfully: "Don't talk about those false things, you first hold the gold and silver mountains in front of me!" ”

"You can bear with it for a few days, and it's going to be soon!" Lou Que smiled confidently.

Zheng Xian'er was about to ask, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a red light flashing in the distance, which frightened her and immediately became vigilant: "Look at the north—why is the light shaking so badly?" It's like a fire......"

Lou Que was startled, and suddenly reached out and scooped up Zheng Xian'er, clipped it under her armpit and rushed towards the north.

Zheng Xian'er was so frightened that she pulled his sleeve tightly, closed her eyes and didn't dare to look at the road.

She was so afraid that Lou Que would not pay attention and fall her down by mistake - doesn't this bastard know to be gentle? Her waist is about to break!

After a while, I gradually heard some anxious noises in my ears. Zheng Xian'er opened her eyes boldly: "What's the matter?" ”

Lou Que explained to her as he ran: "It seems that there is indeed a fire, on the side of Luotongju!" ”

"You let me down, I can go by myself!" Zheng Xian'er struggled to get off the ground.

Lou Que clamped her tighter instead: "I'll hold you and walk faster......"

Zheng Xian'er was on fire: "Bastard! Are you 'hugging'! You're holding me like a sack! ”

Lou Que paused, and finally put Zheng Xian'er down, and did not forget to defend himself: "How can this son have ever sandwiched a sack!" Whether it's holding or clipping, in short, you are the only one who has ever had this honor! ”

Zheng Xian'er was dizzy from being shaken by him, and it was easy to stand firm at this moment, and she immediately rubbed her waist and said angrily: "I can't afford this 'honor'!" My old waist is about to be torn and broken by you, and people are about to fall apart, do you know! ”

A few small guys who came to put out the fire from elsewhere stumbled in unison, and ran away like smoke.

Lou Que laughed, hurriedly grabbed Zheng Xian'er to help her rub her waist, and laughed in a low voice: "You speak quietly, otherwise others will hear you, and you think that I just did something to you on the road......

"You're going to die!" Zheng Xian'er dodged his hand and raised her foot to kick him.

Lou Que hurriedly followed again, and supported her as usual: "Don't move, be careful of your waist!" ”

Zheng Xian'er was completely defeated by him.

After rubbing her waist for a long time, and rubbing other places by the way, Zheng Xian'er didn't care much about the fire.

At this time, it seemed that the Luotong Residence side was quieter than before. Lou Que took Zheng Xian'er's hand and walked over slowly.

A few young men who came from elsewhere to help hurriedly greeted them and explained: "The fire started from Grandma's bedroom, and it has been extinguished at this time, and the girls in the courtyard are cleaning up the aftermath." ”

Zheng Xian'er nodded, told them to go to the account room early tomorrow morning to receive the reward, and then followed Lou Que into the garden.

The smoke in the middle of the tree has not dispersed, and there is a choking smell of fire.

Chunxing and the others hurriedly greeted them. The mothers-in-law escorted a person, and slapped her head and face for more than a dozen times before pushing it in front of Zheng Xian'er.

"Jinxiang?" Zheng Xian'er recognized it immediately.

Jinxiang was beaten so bloody that she couldn't speak.

Zheng Xian'er was relieved: "You came to burn my house and avenge your second master?" ”

Jinxiang's eyes widened, staring at her viciously.

Zheng Xian'er smiled absently: "It's useless for you to stare at me." You can't kill me, and I'll never regret killing your second master. If you continue to toss around, it will only consume my patience and push yourself to the point where you have to die. - If I were you, I would live in the garden in peace at this time, waiting for the birth of the child, at least I would be able to change food and clothing for the rest of my life. ”

"You...... Come to a sticky end! I won't let you go! Jinxiang gritted her teeth and scolded indistinctly.

Zheng Xian'er sneered disdainfully: "No matter how good or bad it is, no one can escape death." If you feel that you don't have the ability to deal with me when you are alive, you will go back in a while and quickly put on a red dress and hang yourself on the beam, I will wait for you to come to me! ”

Jinxiang's eyes widened, and she was speechless.

Of course, she was reluctant to die. She was just a little unwilling, and wanted to take advantage of the New Year to come over to add some blockage to Zheng Xian'er, but she didn't expect that she was the one who suffered in the end.

She obviously forgot that Zheng Xian'er is a person who is not particular or taboo. Even Lou Min made a mistake and was killed that day, not to mention others?

Do you avoid disputes and blood during the New Year's holidays? I'm sorry, there is no such rule in the building from now on!

Fortunately, Zheng Xian'er was still unwilling to do too much to a pregnant woman, so after a few words of ridicule, she turned around and instructed Mrs. Han: "You personally send Jinxiang back to Shensi Garden, and arrange a few reliable people to watch her raise the fetus with peace of mind, and she will not be allowed to walk around in this house in the future!" ”

Mrs. Han agreed, and took someone to bet Jinxiang down.

After that, Lan Xiang came over and said in embarrassment: "Jinxiang's cheap hoof took advantage of our inattention and lit the tent with the candle on the windowsill, and the flames were already very high when we found it...... When I was fighting the fire, it was a mess again, and a big hole was burned in the roof of the sleeping house, and there was no room for it......"

Zheng Xian'er walked to the window and looked inside, and said helplessly: "I really can't live!" I'm going to be homeless in the future, what should I do? ”

Lou Que hugged her from behind and chuckled: "Even if this bedroom doesn't burn, you won't come back to live in the future, what's the trouble?" ”

"Who said that?" Zheng Xian'er was not convinced.

Lou Que let go of her and clasped his hands on his chest: "I don't know who moved his clothes and makeup box to my room, and occupied my bedroom without saying a word, and he is still pretending to shout 'homeless' at this time!" It's clear that I'm homeless! ”

Zheng Xian'er was speechless, and she muttered for a long time before she said eloquently: "That's my foresight!" If I hadn't moved my things to you sooner, wouldn't I have no clothes to wear tomorrow when this fire burns tonight? ”

Lou Que seemed to be addicted to hugging today, bent down and picked up Zheng Xian'er and hugged him, striding out, and said meaningfully: "If you don't have clothes to wear, you won't have to go out tomorrow!" ”

Zheng Xian'er rubbed it into his arms and laughed softly: "But in fact, my clothes are not burned!" If you want me not to go out tomorrow, I'm afraid it depends on your ability! ”

"You're provoking me?" Lou Que narrowed his eyes and looked at her dangerously.

Zheng Xian'er raised her eyebrows, her expression a little underwhelming.

So Lou Que couldn't help but speed up his pace, and in a blink of an eye, he entered Tingsong Garden through the back door, passed through the corner of the small garden, and entered the bedroom.

On the way, Lou Que pointed to the climbing vines and benches that can be seen everywhere in the garden, and said with a smile: "I guess you will like it here, but unfortunately I had to go out on a long trip before I could invite you over, and it was winter when I came back." ”

"What's wrong with winter?" Zheng Xian'er didn't come back for a while.

Lou Que went directly to the door and put Zheng Xian'er on the bed, then turned around and closed the door, and took off her shoes by the way: "It's winter, it's cold outside!" ”

Zheng Xian'er understood what he meant, and immediately turned over, looking at him with bright eyes: "That...... Let's wait for spring? ”

Lou Que tore off his robe and pounced: "Spring, summer, autumn...... No matter where we are, there's always a good place for us to enjoy! ”

"You didn't say winter!" Zheng Xian'er reminded him.

Seeing that she only cared about talking and refused to take off her clothes by herself, Lou Que was a little annoyed in her heart, and hurriedly pulled it for her, gritting her teeth and saying: "I can't be wronged by you in winter!" This winter, we've even tried to be in prison, what else do you need to find a new place? ”

Zheng Xian'er deliberately put on a straight face and pretended to be annoyed: "You still have the face to go to prison!" What the hell is that place, you only care about your own comfort, how many grievances have you caused me! ”

"Grievance? Have it? Lou Que was a little nervous.

Zheng Xian'er twisted her waist to make him stick tighter, climbed his shoulders and pressed them to his ear, and said coquettishly: "Wronged to death, tired and uncomfortable!" So you're going to make it up to me! You'll never leave me until I'm tired of it! ”

Lou Que was entangled in her bones, and at this time he couldn't think about it, and he didn't even hear what she said clearly, so he agreed again and again.

When he realized that there was a hole in this sentence, he was afraid that he didn't know what year and month it would be!
