Mrs. Fang's dim eyes suddenly lit up, and her eyes were full of vitality as if spring was coming.

Yu Jia glanced at her lightly and asked her to take her with her.

Then he told the groom to go home first.

The young man pursed his lips, and took his eyes back from the carriage that was going away very boringly, Qi Mubei was about to go to the Rongguo Mansion to have a look, and the moment he put down the curtain, Qi Mubei suddenly changed his mind.

The boy was familiar.

"What a pride it is for young people to be dressed in fresh clothes and angry horses!"

Qi Mubei got out of the carriage and walked over with a light gait.

The young man was about to kick his legs and get on the horse, but he saw such a man wearing a gray bamboo pattern and a black fur collar around his neck walking towards him, saying crepe words in his mouth.

"Straight to say, who wants to talk to a bearded man!"

As soon as these words came out, Qi Mubei's body stiffened, and he suddenly felt a bitter smile, but he laughed out loud, and patted the young man's shoulder very boldly.

He laughed self-deprecatingly: "Haha, my beard should indeed be shaved, but can this little boy make a friend, I don't know who the little boy's surname is?" ”

As the old saying goes, don't hit a smiling person with a smiling face, the young man licked his lips a little irritably, and pointed to the Desheng teahouse next to him, "Let's talk from above, just stand here and tell a story." ”

Qi Mubei laughed and praised: "What an interesting person!" ”

Shangguan Xuan rolled his eyes speechlessly, and took the lead in walking towards the teahouse opposite.

"Boss, Tianzi No. 1 room!"

The shopkeeper should have asked the guy to take him up, but Shangguan Xuan waved his hand, "No need, soak the old rules in Longjing before the rain." ”

After speaking, he walked up with a familiar car.

Qi Mubei raised his eyebrows slightly, and followed him upstairs.

After sitting down, the young man cocked Erlang's legs and glanced at Qi Mubei, "Shangguan Xuan, the heavenly, the official who crushed people to death at the level of the official, Xuan, well, it is the Xuan of the evil sect." ”

Interesting, Qi Mubei took a sip of tea, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, "Qi Mubei, all Qi, Aimu Mu, Bei...... The north of the south. ”

"Hahaha, it seems that Brother Tai and I are the same people, come, replace wine with tea, I respect you for this cup of tea!"

As soon as Qi Mubei's words fell, Shangguan Xuan laughed heartily, picked up the teacup, drank it all, and raised his hand to show Qi Mubei the bottom of the cup.

"I would like to ask, where is your ancestral home?" Qi Mubei also drank the tea and asked with a running face.

Shangguan Xuanyan's face froze when he heard this, he smiled disguisedly, and thought for a little for two seconds, and then said: "I won't tell you, I am from the Great Liao Kingdom, and my family has been in business for generations, and this Burning Snow Pavilion is my family's industry." ”

He was proud that the rhetoric should be perfect, but he didn't realize that things didn't go as he expected.

The smile on the corner of Qi Mubei's mouth faded, he stood up, and said with some regret: "It's a pity, I was close to you and didn't hide it at all, but you prevaricated me with words, since you don't want to make this friend, I don't force it, don't let it go, it will be indefinite!" ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Xuan stood up eagerly, he was a little overwhelmed when he rarely encountered this kind of thing, but he hurriedly said: "Brother Tai, don't worry, I don't have the intention to hide it from you, there is really something unspeakable." ”

Qi Mubei was still leaving, Shangguan Xuan grabbed his sleeve a little anxiously, hurriedly let go, and said embarrassedly: "Since you have asked like this, you must also know my identity, King Luochuan, I am fortunate to see him today, it is really a coincidence." ”

"Nine Emperor Princes, I'm afraid you also ran out secretly, I also understand, there is a lot of friction between the Great Zhou and the Great Liao now, as the heir of the Liao Emperor, it is naturally difficult for you to publicize your identity, but since you and I are friends, it is naturally different, if there is anything that can help in the future, you can also tell me."

Shangguan Xuan was rarely overjoyed, "Thank you King Luochuan, since this is the case, we are friends, you can call me directly, Wenduan." ”

It can be seen that Shangguan Xuan is also an informal and bold character, such a shadow is facing Qi Mubei's appetite, he also laughed heartily, and said hello twice, "Aside from his identity, when it comes to friends, you can also call my word, Qiongtang." ”

Two people, you and I say a word, the more they talk, the more speculative they become, from the right time and place to the strange door retreat, the two people talk with relish, and they actually have the feeling of seeing each other late.

In the end, the two of them talked about their childhood, Shangguan Xuan was particularly excited, and told Qi Mubei about him going up the tree to dig out the bird's nest and being whipped by his father, who is now the Liao Emperor.

Perhaps it was because Shangguan Xuan's father was too strict, so that he developed Shangguan Xuan's rebellious temperament, unruly, and arrogant.

At this time, in the Rongguo Mansion, after Yu Jia heard the doctor's words, his face changed several times, and finally showed a wry smile.

The house doctor was still saying pleasant words, "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the princess......"

After saying such words, but the two of them did not see a little joy, the atmosphere in the room was a little depressing, and the house doctor closed his mouth in a sneer, lest he anger these two people who could decide his life and death.

Mother Xu sent him out of the South Park with a wry smile, stuffed two red envelopes for him, and then turned around and went back to the main room.

"Are you so afraid of his coming?"

Lin Yu'an's head was still a little dizzy, and she felt like a big stone was pressed on her chest, making her feel tired from breathing.

Yu Jia took a deep breath and reached out to hold Lin Yu'an's hand, the slender and white fingers were soft and boneless, and the temperature that belonged to her came from the palm of his hand, making him feel at ease.

"Don't think about it, since he is willing to come, it is fate, how could I not like it, it's just ...... You have to be obediently in the house recently, you are not allowed to go out of the house at will, the weather is cold, if you go out there is something long and short, I can't forgive myself for the rest of my life. ”

Lin Yu'an knew what he was worried about, and swallowed the words again.

"I know, don't worry, your body will be fine, people say that dead wood is spring, and when spring comes, everything will be fine."

Yu Jia didn't speak, took her into his arms, buried his head in Lin Yu'an's neck, and closed his eyes tiredly.

In his heart, he felt endless guilt, he had no way to protect her until the day of childbirth, how regrettable and heart-wrenching it was!

Everything is fine, the New Year is approaching, there are many affairs in the Rongguo Mansion, and trivial things abound, if you want to take care of it yourself, you must work hard, after thinking about it, Lin Yu'an still let Ruan Lingyin come over.

After the last incident, the relationship between Ruan Lingyin and Lin Yu'an was completely stiff, but since Nanyuan came to invite, she had to go over again, and she came to Nanyuan reluctantly.

In the South Garden, Lin Yu'an led Xu's mother to look at the account book together, and Xu's mother pointed out one of the inappropriateness: "From the third day of the lunar month to the fifth day of the lunar month, the purchase of the kitchen in these two days cost three hundred taels of silver, and in the past, it was only fifty taels of silver a day, and it was only one hundred yuan of silver in two days. ”

The obedient mother-in-law was Zhou Niangzi, who was in charge of the kitchen, and she showed a bitter face at the moment, and said bitterly: "Ouch, Mom, you Mingjian, this is the month of Layue, everything is expensive, and every year in these days, there is a lot of silver than usual, and you don't know it." ”

Mother Xu's face gradually became solemn, and she put the account book on the ebony lacquered wooden table at once, "Kitchen purchase, you must have bought some valuable ginseng bird's nest, otherwise it will never be so much, I can tell you, if you find out by myself, I am afraid that the skin on your body will be loosened." ”

Zhou Niangzi suddenly shrank her body, and said with a smile: "Yes, I bought bird's nest and sent it to Grandpa Guo and Mrs. Shizi, my little daughter-in-law, how dare I deceive Mother Xu." ”

Ruan Lingyin, who was at the door and was about to raise her legs to enter the house, heard the words and thought about it, she had never heard of any ginseng bird's nest sent by the kitchen, if it was really delivered, it was impossible for Hong's mother not to know.

"Yo, when the kitchen can't find my yard in Lixueju, I don't know when you sent ginseng bird's nest over."

Lin Yu'an was sitting on the big kang by the window at this time, and when he saw Ruan Lingyin's figure behind the screen, he said in his heart that the people in this courtyard should be rectified again, Ruan Lingyin entered the house, but no one said anything!

Mother Xu and Mrs. Zhou looked up together, Mrs. Zhou's heart jumped, and a bad feeling floated, Mother Xu had already gotten up to bless her body and salute, and Mrs. Zhou came back to her senses and was busy saluting her.

Ruan Lingyin came closer, looking at these account books, which were densely memorized with income, and she had a headache.

She is the second daughter of the house, and she decided to marry the second son of the Rongguo Mansion, but her mother said that she would not care about the family in the future, and it was not her turn to take care of the feed, so she did not teach her this.

She secretly learned to read accounts in private, but she really felt very troublesome, and in the end, the matter ended in nothing.

Zhou Niangzi didn't say a word on the side, and Mother Xu asked: "Zhou Niangzi, didn't you say that the bird's nest ginseng purchased was sent to Chu Yuyuan and Li Xueju, why did Mrs. Shizi say that there was no such thing?" ”

Zhou Niangzi was already covered in cold sweat, and she didn't know how to answer, she couldn't say that she and Mother Hong swallowed the two hundred taels of silver together, where did she buy any ginseng bird's nest.

Before she could answer, Mother Xu looked up at her in surprise as if she had discovered a new world.

"This is not only this, at the end of November, you spent four hundred taels of silver to buy vegetables, just three days?!"

Zhou's mother already had a plan to deal with it, and even said: "In those days, Mrs. Shizi had guests, and the kitchen had picked a good choice, don't underestimate these days, stewed chicken and duck, abalone delicacies, the same, all cost some silver." ”

Mother Xu held back her anger and sneered: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll bring you a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and you give me all the food and money spent in those days on paper, I want to see what kind of dragon meat is eaten, and it costs four hundred taels of silver!" ”

"This, this...... Isn't this difficult for a strong man, it's been so long, where do I remember so clearly? ”

"Mother Xu, if you can't ask, just take a rest first, people will be locked in the firewood room, and the mother-in-law who bought it will be replaced, and when she remembers, she will be released."

Lin Yu'an's voice fluttered out from behind the mahogany bottom screen like catkins, and Zhou Niangzi's legs suddenly weakened.

This princess is really ruthless, she heard that the Miss Su family didn't know where she offended her, so she was locked in a house where no one lived, and the next day, the Miss Su family was not a ghost or a ghost, and she was carried out when she left.

There are many rumors in the house, saying that the princess was fine when she was the wife of the prince in the past, but after sealing the princess, she was haunted by ghosts, not to mention being ruthless, and let the prince suck the prince's yang energy, so that the prince's body is not as good as day by day, and he looks skinny.

Thinking of this kind of rumor, Zhou Niangzi felt cold under her feet, and she was uncomfortable, and she always felt that there was a ghost looking at her behind the screen, and she couldn't help but tremble when she thought about it.

A sudden smell of urine suddenly filled the air, Ruan Lingyin's face sank, and she took two steps back, Xu's mother also frowned, Zhou Niangzi threw herself on the ground, tears and snot fell uncontrollably, and said with a frightened face: "I said, I said, I said, please don't want my life, please don't want my life...... Yes, it's Mama Hong, who is next to Mrs. Shizi, it's her, she told me to do it, yes, it's her! ”

Zhou Niangzi's dejected appearance made Xu's mother a little puzzled, but Ruan Lingyin scolded sharply: "Full of nonsense, Mother Hong can't fight with you, how can she be in the same stream with you and do such a thing, you are a slave like you, you should be dragged out and killed!" ”

Mother Hong, who was following on the side, was beating like thunder, and when she heard the maintenance of her master, she felt that her old face was hot, she didn't dare to admit it, after all, as long as she didn't admit it, Ruan Lingyin would definitely help her get through, and she couldn't show her stuffing.

Seeing that no one believed it, Zhou Niangzi stretched out her hand to grab Hong's mother, but when Xu's mother saw this, she immediately let the rough envoy outside into the house and dragged Zhou Niangzi out.

On the scarlet sprinkled carpet, a cloud of water stains that exuded a fishy smell made Ruan Lingyin couldn't help but take two steps back again in disgust.

Zhou Qiao'er had been standing beside Lin Yu'an, and when she saw this, she asked Lin Yu'an, "The slave is going to change the blanket?" ”

"Well, go ahead."

Lin Yu'an responded lightly, and asked Nanyu to serve her wearing a fox fur cloak specially made by Yu Jia, and got up carefully.

There was also Zhou's mother's cry outside the house, which was particularly gloomy in the joyful atmosphere near the end of the year, Ruan Lingyin's voice was very sharp, "She must have lost her heart and was greedy for money, and now that the East Window incident happened, she was scared like this." ”

The disdain in his words was undisguised, Lin Yuan took the hand stove, lifted the curtain and walked out of the house in the false support of the south wind and south rain.

"Mother Xu, check carefully, don't let this matter pass the year."
