Chapter 131

From the day after returning home, Yuan Changqing was busy. In addition to entertaining his former classmates from Xinglin Academy, he also needs to entertain those students who come to admire his name, and he often has to go out with people to pay respects, and sometimes he is busy until he comes back in the evening, and he falls next to Shanniang and is too lazy to speak.

Seeing that he was almost out of time to read and warm his books, Shanniang couldn't help but feel distressed for a while, and persuaded him to simply refuse those visitors, but Yuan Changqing laughed strangely and said: "It's rare that the fourth uncle makes a name for me, how can I blind his mind in vain." As he spoke, he leaned into Shanniang's ear and whispered.

Only then did Shanniang know that Yuan Li was calculating him, and he happened to take this opportunity to contact those students and do something for the prince in private. "Don't worry, I know it." He said, "I can memorize those books without reading them, and the kung fu is outside the books." ”

Seeing him say this, Shanniang stopped stopping him. It's just that since he fell ill last year, he has obviously lost weight, and then it was their marriage, returning to the house, and so on, and even now the flesh on his body has not been raised. Shanniang wanted to make up for him, except for a small kitchen in the old lady's yard, only the big stove could start a fire, so it was very inconvenient for her to make porridge for him. In this way, Shanniang wants to move out even more.

At the beginning of February, Erlong looked up, and Aunt Ying, the eldest girl of the Fang family, handed a post to Shanniang, asking her to go out of the city together. When Yuan Changqing heard this, he immediately postponed the entertainment and accompanied Shanniang out of Beijing. Yinggu and Shanniang had made an appointment to meet at the city gate, but when Shanniang passed by in a carriage, she saw Yinggu dressed as a man again, holding a horsewhip in her hand, waiting impatiently there. On a small horse next to her, a seven-year-old girl and a four-year-old Xiaobao were also riding steadily.

Seeing Shanniang sitting in the car, Yinggu raised her eyebrows for a while and said, "You don't know how to ride a horse?" ”

Shanniang really hadn't learned, so she poked her head out of the car window and said with a smile: "You teach me." ”

Yuan Changqing immediately leaned into her ear and whispered, "If you want to learn, I'll teach you." ”

The tip of Yinggu's ears was sharp, and when she heard it, she immediately burst out laughing.

She was laughing, and the characteristic loud laughter attracted a group of people who were waiting to leave the city. A woman wearing a fence on her head turned her horse's head and shouted at this side: "Is Fang Da over there? ”

Ying Gu looked back and saw a woman dressed in black sitting on the black horse.

When she looked back, the woman lifted up the fence and revealed a white face, which was actually a woman about thirty years old. Looking at the outfit, it should be a widow's identity, and the lips are carefully depicted with a touch of red lip gloss that a widow should not have.

Shanniang was guessing the identity of this person, and Yinggu was already laughing and said, "It turned out to be the eldest princess." ”

Shanniang immediately knew that this was the eldest daughter under her knees today, named Zhou Ling, and was named Princess De'an. It's just that this princess has a bad life, she lost her mother since she was a child, and she lost her horse two years after she got married. For this reason, her reputation in her previous life was quite bad, and there were even rumors of good deeds that her princess mansion raised countless noodles.

The eldest princess stabbed Fang Ying in the shoulder with a horsewhip like a man, and said with a smile: "I heard that you are back, I didn't invite you, and you didn't even come to see me." ”

Fang Ying smiled and pointed back to the little horse next to him, the son and daughter who were staring curiously, and said, "Now that I have a drag, I can't go anywhere." No, you can't go out of the city for a horse, these two little tails have to follow. ”

The eldest princess's eyes sank slightly, and she looked at the two little ones and smiled: "How old is this little person, who can ride a stable horse?" You're not afraid to fall on them. "She was widowed and childless.

Fang Ying looks rough, but in fact, she also has a careful side, seeing the eldest princess like this, she knew that she was feeling nostalgic for her life experience, so she just pretended not to know, pointed to her two children and smiled: "Princess, don't worry, the children outside the gate have grown up like this, and they learned to ride a horse before they knew how to walk." Speaking of which, don't look at Xiaobao is only four years old, he has never fallen off since he knew how to ride a horse, and he is better than me. As he spoke, he led the two children to greet the eldest princess, and then turned back to Shanniang, who had been helped out of the carriage by Yuan Changqing, and said, "You recognize my brother, that is my brother's daughter-in-law, and the princess should not have seen it yet." ”

When the eldest princess was born, the first queen had no children, and after she lost her mother, she was adopted by the first queen. After the first queen gave birth to the five princes and died in childbirth, the five princes were equivalent to the eldest princess who grew up, and the relationship between her and the five princes was said to be sister and brother, but in fact, they were like mother and son. And Yuan Changqing and the five princes have been friends since childhood, not to mention that he still had such a demonic face, and the eldest princess is a beautiful woman, and she has loved to tease Yuan Changqing since she was a child.

"Is that you?" She sat on her horse, looked at Shanniang condescendingly, and said, "The one who said that the world doesn't blame flies and eggs, but you?" ”

Shanniang was stunned. She couldn't imagine that what she said in such a fit of anger that the Queen Mother would take it and publicize it everywhere.

"The ......"

Yuan Changqing didn't know what was going on, but when he saw the eldest princess with a stern face, he just thought something had happened, and just as he was about to speak, he asked the eldest princess to wave her horsewhip to the side.

Shanniang is also a clever person, seeing that although the eldest princess has a stern face, but compared to what she said, and the situation of the eldest princess who is often talked about, she immediately knew that this person should agree with her point of view, so she raised her head and nodded generously at the eldest princess, and said, "That's the reason." It can be seen that she is also a person who can watch people cook.

The eldest princess looked at her, suddenly tightened her expression, showed a smile, and nodded at her: "You are good, you are really the same as the ancestor said, you are a courageous one." He added, "And it's quite insightful." ”

As she spoke, the eldest princess turned around and asked Fang Ying, "Are you also going out of the city?" Why don't we join us? ”

So, the two gangs became a gang.

Yuan Changqing was asking Shanniang what she said to the Queen Mother that day, when Xiaobao and Da Niu, who were riding on horses behind her, suddenly made a fuss. It turned out that Shanniang had been sitting in the car before, and the two little puddings didn't see her, but now they saw their favorite aunt, and horseback riding was not so interesting, and the two little people were clamoring to follow Shanniang in the car.

But it turned out that since they returned to the capital from Meishan Town, the Fang family invited them over for lunch and dinner in three days. Those two little people, who have been accustomed to whipping their mothers at every turn at home since they were children, are the first time they have seen Shanniang's warmth, and Shanniang is confident that these two children are not her own, and it is also someone else's business to spoil them, and she spoils the two children everywhere unprincipledly. It is said that the child is the most discerning person in the world, who can be deceived and who can be approached, the ghosts and spirits know it in their hearts, therefore, as long as there is a place where Shanniang is, these two children don't want anyone, and they stick to this aunt, and because of this, their uncle's heart is not a little bit or two.

The two villains got into the carriage and pestered Shanniang for a while to eat, drink and tell stories, leaving Yuan Changqing alone in the cold. When he arrived at the gallop outside the city, the carriage stopped, and when Yuan Changqing got down from the car, his face, which was originally cold, looked more like a kaolin flower, "but it can be seen from a distance and cannot be blasphemed".

The eldest princess leaned on the horse and admired the young man's beauty for a while, and bumped Fang Ying on the shoulder, and the two people who came over inevitably laughed at the little jealousy that the young man couldn't share with others.

Yuan Changqing would not lose to the two little ones, so he let them pester Shanniang for a while, and then went over to attract Shanniang's attention by riding a horse. But Shanniang didn't plan to come out to ride a horse, and the clothes were inappropriate. When the eldest princess heard this, she smiled and said, "I have a ready, if you don't dislike it, take it and use it first." ”

The eldest princess is petite, and now Shan Niang has not fully grown up, which is just right. After changing his clothes in the carriage, Yuan Changqing didn't give the two little puddings a chance, but only led the horse and took Shanniang far away. It was obvious that Shanniang was quite athletic, and at the end of the day, she was able to ride a little lap on the horse alone, and Yuan Changqing was both proud and a little regretful in his heart - he failed to show his ability.

In the afternoon, Yuan Changqing took Shanniang to leave everyone early. Shanniang thought that he was in a hurry to return to the mansion because of something, but when she didn't want to wait for her attention, she found that they were not on the way back to Yuan's mansion, so she looked back at Yuan Changqing.

Yuan Changqing only smiled and did not answer. When she saw the wooden sign hanging at the entrance of the alley, Shanniang knew that he had brought her to the small house of Sanjin in Rende Lane, Fushoufang, which he had said before.

In the hundred years of Chengping of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the land of the capital has long been an inch of land, not to mention that this Fushoufang is close to the imperial city, and the Jinshui River is passing by Rende Lane. Just looking at the external environment, Shanniang couldn't help but be surprised. Now although she is lazy and refuses to take Hua's mother's account book, in fact, Yuan Changqing's net worth, she has already dusted it into her heart, and she even noticed that he has a stake in the sea ship industry, so to speak, this is not a bad money. But no matter how bad the money is, with the little things in his hand, it is not easy to buy a house in Rende Lane.

Seeing that she was puzzled, Yuan Changqing didn't give her any answers, and only ordered Yanfeng to step forward and knock on the door. Immediately, a loud voice came from the door, "Who?" ”

As he spoke, the unpretentious black lacquered wooden door creaked open, and a disheveled head poked out of the door. As soon as the man looked up, he saw that it was Yan Feng who was knocking on the door, and immediately opened the door with a smile and said, "Little Brother Yan, but our master has arrived?" So saying, the man opened the door and squeezed out of it.

Shanniang was getting out of the car by Yuan Changqing, she stood on the pedal of the car and looked up, and couldn't help but startle the person who squeezed out of the door.

That Yuan Changqing is tall, this person is more than a head taller than Yuan Changqing, and he is thick and strong, the width of two Shanniang, and he has a broken leg, and a thin wooden prosthesis exposed at the hem of the robe makes people worry about him, for fear that the prosthesis will not be able to support his huge body.

The man looked less than forty years old, although he had a broken leg, he walked like a fly, and saw Yuan Changqing helping Shanniang get out of the carriage, he followed the able-bodied person, and rushed down the steps with a few steps, ran to the carriage, saluted Yuan Changqing and Shanniang, and shouted "Grandpa, grandma" with a big grin. The sound was like a muffled thunder rolling through the clouds.

Seeing Shanniang looking at the person curiously, Yuan Changqing hurriedly introduced her: "This is Uncle Da Mao, who used to be my grandfather's personal entourage. Shan Niang knew that he was also a survivor of the battle of Moluo River.

In her previous life, Shanniang knew that Yuan Changqing actually raised many such disabled Yuan family soldiers under his name, including Uncle Hua, but at that time, except for Uncle Hua, she had not seen anyone else, and Yuan Changqing did not arrange for anyone to be an errand at home.

Since they are Yuan Lao Linggong's subordinates, Shanniang will not treat them as people, and hurriedly salute Uncle Mao with the courtesy of a junior, but Uncle Mao is uncomfortable for a while, and hurriedly ran back to the gatehouse, shouting angrily at the urn in the door, "Uncle and grandma are here!" ”

"What's it called?! Are there any rules?! Suddenly, there was a scolding from Mother Hua from the door. Seeing the flower mother wearing an embroidered eye patch smiling and coming out of the door, Shanniang knew that Yuan Changqing had already arranged this qiē.

Yuan Changqing was in a very good mood, and since he led Shanniang into the door, he has been introducing this house to Shanniang in her ear. Only then did Shan Niang know that this house was actually a wedding gift given to him by the prince in private - thinking about it, Yuan Changqing was not such a rich and noble person, how could he afford to buy a mansion here.

Even Shanniang's ridicule still didn't spoil Yuan Changqing's good mood, so she only walked around the new house hand in hand with her.

"I took a fancy to this house at first glance," Yuan Changqing said triumphantly, "See, the blue brick water mill wall at the front door, except for the pattern of the shadow wall in your house, is it very similar?" We also planted some creepers in front of Ming'er, and when the creepers climbed all over the shadow wall, it looked more like. ”

Shanniang didn't know that Yuan Changqing liked her home so much that she couldn't help but glance at him.

This house is really as Yuan Changqing said, although it is a courtyard house in the north, but it is full of southern characteristics, what a high daughter wall, terrazzo blue brick shadow wall, and cobblestone path with auspicious patterns, it is full of Jiangnan style. Especially at the back of the main courtyard, in the small garden that was not as big as her mother's house, there was still a small two-story wooden building in the northeast corner.

Standing under the wooden building with Shanniang, Yuan Changqing said with a smile: "It's cold and I can't start work at this time, I have asked someone to replace those railings with beauty leaning styles, so it will really be the same as your little embroidery building." ”

Shanniang pursed her lips and smiled, and when she saw that there was no one around, she lowered her voice and teased him: "Do you still want to climb the wall?" ”

Yuan Changqing immediately leaned into her ear and replied, "I have already climbed into bed, what wall do you want to climb." ”

Shanniang: "......"

Sure enough, she couldn't compare to him......

*・*・*

When the two returned to Yuan's mansion, Shanniang was still wearing the equestrian costume given to her by the eldest princess, and she was telling Yuan Changqing that the eldest duke was going to take her to order a riding costume, when Uncle Gui suddenly came over.

Since receiving the master's letter, Uncle Gui has been so busy that he can't see anyone all day. Shanniang asked curiously twice, but Uncle Gui only said that he was asking around about the purchase of Zhuangzi, and Shanniang didn't ask any more. It was Yuan Changqing, because he was a local snake, and he was often invited by Uncle Gui to help with ideas. At this time, he came over, afraid that he had taken a fancy to the industry again, and wanted to discuss with Yuan Changqing.

Shanniang knew that Yuan Changqing had a lot of things to do now, so she said to Uncle Gui: "Don't bother Uncle with these little things, it's the same with me." ”

Receiving Uncle Gui's eyes, Yuan Changqing hurriedly said: "You are not familiar with the capital, how do you know the catty in it, and it doesn't take me any effort." With that, he took Shanniang back to the inner courtyard, and he went to the front yard with Uncle Gui.

Shanniang was coaxed into the second gate by him, and thought that he should go soon, so she waited for Yuan Changqing at the second gate. But she didn't want to, she didn't wait for Yuan Changqing, but waited for Yuan Changxing.

That Yuan Changxing did not come in from outside the door, but came out from the second gate, so it can be seen that someone specially went to report to him. Shanniang's eyes narrowed suddenly.

As soon as he saw Shanniang, Yuan Changxing leaned over with a considerate face and said, "Big brother is really, just these few steps, can't you send your sister-in-law back to the yard and go out?" As he spoke, he reached over and asked for Shanniang's arm.

Seeing this, Sanhe quickly took a step out and separated his hands.

Yuan Changxing looked at Sanhe calmly, and then changed his smiling face, Yin Yin asked where Shanniang had gone today, what she had done, and whether she was tired or not.

Shanniang didn't hear anything wrong, and replied to his words with a smile, which made Sanhe couldn't help but be surprised, and quietly glanced at Shanniang several times.

The two of them talked as they walked, and it was not until they reached the door of Han Cuixuan that Shanniang stopped, turned back to Yuan Changxing and said, "Thank you for sending me back, I won't invite you in, you know, your brother is ...... It's more exquisite. She smiled, glanced at Yuan Changxing with the tail of her eyes, and said, "You are really much more considerate than your brother." Then he entered the gate of the courtyard without looking back.

Behind her, Yuan Changxing bent his eyes and smiled smugly.

And Shanniang, who entered the courtyard gate, her pretty face sank immediately, and she gritted her teeth and scolded: "I don't know what to do." ”

Sanhe blinked for a while before he came back to his senses, hurriedly looked left and right, leaned over and lowered his voice: "It turns out that grandma has a number in her heart!" He gritted his teeth and said: "I looked at him and looked at his grandmother wrongly, I thought I was too careful...... and said indignantly: "I should tell Uncle Sù to go to ......"

Shanniang waved her hand hurriedly and said, "Uncle has a lot of things, don't let him be distracted anymore." He snorted coldly, "This kind of thing that can't be put on the table, I don't believe I can't cure him!" As he spoke, he leaned over and whispered in Sanhe's ear, "You need to cooperate with me in this matter." Don't let them know that one is honest and the other is impatient, and if you don't do it, it's bad for me. ”
