Qu Xiaobai sat crookedly in the rocking chair, still holding a piece of pastry in his hand, and some pastry residues on the corner of his mouth, this posture has been in this position for a while.

Yang Ling went to the ground in surprise, put on her boots and stepped forward, seeing that she had closed her eyes and fell asleep.

"Xiaobai." Yang Ling called softly, reached out and wiped the pastry residue from the corner of her mouth, Qu Xiaobai slowly opened his eyes, first saw Yang Ling's face, and then saw the roof that was not very familiar.

Quality three questions: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

Yang Ling smiled lightly: "Why did you fall asleep crookedly?" I'm up and it's time to eat. ”

The crown prince and Mu Nanyun both looked over to this side, and Mu Nanyun shouted, "You can sleep with such a loud sound when we play chess?" It's just too capable! Did the goblin fight last night consume too much physical strength? ”

Yang Ling flew over with an eye knife, and Mu Nanyun immediately covered his uncovered mouth.

But I was very unconvinced in my heart, what is this, human nature, don't let me say it?

This is a feudal etiquette that makes people feel tight and short of breath!

Qu Xiaobai glanced at Mu Nanyun and yawned again, "Are you owing so much because there are no goblins fighting with you?" ”

Mu Nanyun: "......" I was wrong, I shouldn't have quarreled with women.

Prince: Has ...... been so civilized under the rule of the Great Liang Dynasty? Can goblin fights be put on the bright side?

Yang Ling glanced at Qu Xiaobai gently, then glanced at Mu Nanyun, and said coolly: "Xiaobai, did you know him on the first day?" There are more goblins around him, will there be any goblins to fight with him? I'm afraid that there are too many goblins fighting, and he is tired and confused. ”

Prince: "......" The Great Liang Dynasty is indeed a civilized dynasty, "Ahem, isn't there a banquet?" What kind of tongue is there here? ”

If you listen carefully, it is not difficult to find that the crown prince occasionally brings out some of his habits of being in a high position and immersing himself in power.

Yang Ling and Mu Nanyun didn't say anything, but they didn't find out.

Qu Xiaobai held Yang Ling's hand and stood up, "I'm just hungry." ”

The luncheon was set up in this room, and it was cold, and everyone was too lazy to move the place. Mu Mansion's specifications in the banquet are naturally not lower than Yang Mansion, Mu Nanyun took out the treasured good wine, and asked the music class in the mansion to come over and perform a miscellaneous show, eating while watching the play, which is also very interesting.

Especially the content of the drama is not boring, nor vulgar, Qu Xiaobai is the first time to listen to this kind of singing, it is not like opera singing, the Tao is similar to musicals, and I don't know if there is Mu Nanyun's credit in this.

Mu Nanyun asked her how well she sang in the troupe, and Qu Xiaobai said: "What you have in your house is naturally a high-quality product." ”

"You are an expert, give a suggestion, so that they can learn more and improve their level."

The prince said: "Mrs. Yang still knows opera? It's so versatile. ”

Yang Ling said lightly: "What does she know, General Mu Xiao just said it casually, don't let her make a fool of herself." ”

Mu Nanyun had a little regret, but he didn't ask any more. After all, Yang Ling is unwilling to let others know that her skills are also due, and if she can cause less trouble, she will invite less trouble.

Mu Nanyun said: "When I first met Xiaobai, it was your husband and wife who were performing in the Junzi Building, and I thought you were very good at singing." "It's a cover up for his words, so as not to make the prince suspicious.

Qu Xiaobai said: "I'm just swaggering, you don't know me, for the sake of life, I can do anything." But ah, I listen really well to this music class in your family, I want to learn with it, hey, I also recruited a few children to learn these things, why don't I let them go to your house to learn? ”

Qu Xiaobai stirred up like this, and the prince really dispelled his doubts, in fact, it was nothing, she was already a lot of talents, and no matter how talented she was, she was not very surprised.

After the luncheon, Yang Ling didn't say a word about the bloody case, and Mu Fu didn't have any vision, it seemed that Mu Nanyun and the prince didn't receive any news, which made Qu Xiaobai's suspicion of Yang Ling even deeper.

In the afternoon, he sat idle for a while, chatted about what his plans for the new year were, Mu Nanyun is going back to Beijing to report on his work, if nothing else, when his father comes back, he will start his journey, Qu Xiaobai looked at his stomach, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I will give birth to a baby at home and be a mother." ”

When asked about the prince, the prince looked dazed, "I haven't planned yet, let's take a look." ”

Qu Xiaobai said: "Aren't you going to stay in the academy to teach?" What else to watch? ”

The prince said: "I will stay in the academy to teach for a while, but whether there will be new plans after that, it depends on the situation." ”

In other words, is it possible to return to Beijing with Mu Nanyun? Qu Xiaobai thought secretly.

As for Yang Ling, he said: "Naturally, I want to accompany my wife, there is no reason why she has to go through life and death, but I have to leave home and go out." ”

"You said it earlier, I won't let my father ask you for credit, what if the emperor wants to see you and let you go to Beijing? Resisting the decree and disrespecting it is a great crime to kill the head. ”

Mu Nanyun said with annoyance.

"Even if there is merit, it's just a reward, it's not enough to go to Beijing, think about it, General Mu doesn't want me to enter Beijing." Yang Ling said lightly.

Mu Nanyun glanced at him suspiciously. Would he want him to enter Beijing? What do you mean? Want to keep it for yourself? This is possible, but he has the ability to subdue Yang Ling?

This man, who was once a fool, is the most domineering and proud in his bones.

Mu Nanyun laughed helplessly in his heart, things are not something he can control, if you want to, just do it.

At the end of the day, Yang Ling and Qu Xiaobai said goodbye and returned, and went to the county mansion by the way, after Meng Jingfan was expelled from the county, the plaque of the Meng Mansion was naturally taken off, and now the plaque of the Yang Mansion is hung generously, and it is Hu Da who is responsible over there.

When I went, Hu Da was not there, and all the stewards and brothers were excited and a little flattered, since the lord expelled Meng Jingfan from Zixuzhuang, they have not come to this mansion again, they also want to visit Xinzhuang Yang Mansion, but the little master mother has given an order, not allowed them to approach, and the lord has not lifted this ban after he has recovered from his illness, after Meng Jingfan's incident, they did not dare to make a mistake, for fear of following in the footsteps of Meng Jingfan.

This mansion gave Qu Xiaobai a very bad impression, she came when she was in danger, and the days she lived here were full of bad memories, and the worst memories were Yang Ling's illness and the unpleasantness with Lu Xiaoxiao here. As soon as she entered the courtyard gate, her face turned pale.

Yang Ling held her hand and said comfortingly: "I don't care about those unbearable memories, and you don't care either." ”

Qu Xiaobai nodded. But until she saw those familiar faces, her face didn't get better. Yang Ling caught a glimpse of her face and couldn't help but clench her hand even more.

Arrived in the living room with everyone, Yang Ling looked at the brothers who were crowded in, and the people who kept rushing to this room after hearing the news, and smiled lightly, "Happy New Year, everyone." Come and see everyone. ”

"I was busy a year ago, so I couldn't come, forgive me."

Everyone knelt down and brushed in unison: "Happy New Year for the Lord, Happy New Year for the Lord." ”

This kneeling at every turn, Qu Xiaobai is still not used to it, half joking and half serious: "We didn't bring red envelopes when we went out today, don't kneel." ”

Most of the people in it are older than her and Yang Ling, and they are a little embarrassed to hear this, and some of them who are familiar with her don't think there is anything, Heng and Zhi are the main mother, and the seniority is there, which is not a fault.

Yang Ling glanced at her with a smile, without the slightest intention of blaming, but said: "Don't kneel at every turn in the future, your housewife doesn't like these red tape." ”

The Lord really spoils the housemother!

It's too much of a spoiler! For her sake, she didn't even care about the rules!

Qu Xiaobai didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what she said, they felt embarrassed, it could only be because of cultural differences, anyway, she didn't care, but what Yang Ling said in order to avoid her embarrassment still warmed her heart.

I don't know why, Qu Xiaobai always feels that there is a generation gap between her and the businessmen who live in this mansion, like Ah Da and her brothers, as well as the few who live in her mansion, she is very close to them, and there is no generation gap.

"I haven't seen Steward Hu all along, isn't he there?" Qu Xiaobai glanced at the crowd a few times, "I didn't see Hu Da Steward when I entered the door." ”

A few of the people looked uncomfortable, Yang Ling saw it at a glance, and pointed to a few of them and asked, "What about Hu Da?" ”

An older one said, "Lord, he was called out for a drink by a friend, and he hasn't come back yet." ”

There are no rules that stipulate that these people can't go out to drink and can't have friends, after all, they are all mixed people in society, and drinking scenes are indispensable when interacting with people, so the discomfort of these people is very problematic.

Qu Xiaobai could detect it, and naturally it couldn't escape Yang Ling's eyes. But for the New Year, Qu Xiaobai didn't want Yang Ling to have trouble with everyone because of this incident, so he said: "Since I've met everyone, let's go back early, I'm tired, and the road is not easy to walk." ”

There are still many people who want to talk to Yang Ling more, even if they look at Yang Ling a few more times, Qu Xiaobai's words undoubtedly caused some dissatisfaction, and only those who were not very comfortable breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Ling got off the donkey and didn't pursue it again, "Then that's it for today, I'll come back later." If you have time, you can also go to Zhuangzi to find me. ”

This is tantamount to lifting Qu Xiaobai's ban.

Qu Xiaobai also felt that the previous ban no longer had the meaning of existence, but he never had the opportunity to come here to talk about it. Sooner or later, Xinzhuang will be made public to the world, and since it is going to be made public, there is no need to ban these brothers.

Seeing that everyone was happy again, Qu Xiaobai would have no burden when he left.

When I came out of the house, I got into the carriage and walked back, the sky was a little overcast, and it seemed that it was snowing again.
