Ming Lanying: "What if you don't choose either?" ”

Meng Huaisu said expressionlessly: "Disobeying the prefect's order is a capital crime." ”

Ming Lan sneered and glanced at Ye Juelu, the meaning was obvious, do you want to go to death or do you want to go to the account book.

Ye Juelu: "Those old accounts hurt their eyes and take a lot of energy, it's just broken ice, I'll be back soon." ”

They all knew that the Ming family would not let them go so easily, the emperor had just ascended the throne, and his status was unstable, so he was not afraid in the eyes of some old ministers, but he still did it on the surface. The people around the emperor are all stared at, and the exiled Ye Jielu has long been missed, only the Ming family is biting and holding on, which is a good thing and a bad thing.

Ming Langtao is the eyeliner put by the Ming family, and what he put forward is just the beginning, but it is a mandatory question, Ming Lanying guessed that he paid more attention to the bad debts of a warehouse than to let Ye Jielu crush the ice. Since you don't have a choice, it's better to find a more comfortable posture to face the difficulties.

Ming Lanying is also righteous, living under the same roof, Ye Jielu is the basic security of their family, so he can't have an accident, just look at the account book, as long as she drags on long enough, Ming Langtao won't dare to be distracted by the whole moth, and he can't do anything to her.

Slammed the table and began to bargain with Ming Langtao, "It's okay to look at the account, but you have to be exempted from Ye Juelu's twenty years of servitude, and you get ten taels of silver for an account book, and you are not allowed to interfere with me during the account reading, otherwise you won't have to talk." ”

Ming Langtao smiled and didn't speak, Meng Huaisu frowned and looked at her dissatisfied, "You have to make inches, you can consider exempting him from two years of forced labor is already the prefect's magnanimity, you still want silver!" ”

"What kind of person deserves what price." Ming Lanying rolled her eyes, "You are a bad account in a warehouse, here, except for me, no one dares to show you this mess, you can think about talking to me, it's a big deal, you can take him to break the ice." ”

Ming Lanying guessed correctly, the broken ice is just a small matter in front of her, not as important as the big thing after taking office, Meng Huaisu frowned tightly, holding back his anger, "I can only consider being exempted from two years of conscription." ”

"Thirty years of servitude, and twenty denias per book."

"You!" Meng Huaisu was about to stand up and scold him angrily as soon as he slapped the table, but was held down by Ming Langtao.

"Negotiable." Ming Langtao nodded on the table, "It's okay to be exempted from twenty years of forced labor, but the prefect doesn't have so much silver......"

"Forty years of exemption, thirty taels per book." Ming Langtao dared to bargain, which gave Ming Lanying confidence.

Meng Huaisu slapped the table again, blushing angrily, "Don't go too far!" ”

Ming Langtao hurriedly patted him for a while, "I will exempt him from twenty years of forced labor, ten taels per account book, and he can't be high." ”

"Ten taels is fine, but he will be exempted from thirty years of forced labor."

"Deal." Ming Langtao agreed, but he was just exempted from servitude, anyway, there are so many cheap slaves in Biansai, and he is nothing if he has one less, Ye Juelu is exiled for life, and he can't go anywhere except Biansai.

"Write clearly in black and white, so as not to forget things about the nobles of the mansion." Ming Lanying waved her hand domineeringly, and Ning Er came out with paper, pen and ink.

Ming Langtao nodded with a smile, "Yes." ”

Meng Huaisu sulked and wrote the contract, and the time was dragged by Ming Lanying to the beginning of the year, and the deadline was held up to two years by her, and she was not allowed to disturb during the period.

"That's very good, I'll have someone send the account book over after a while, you can read it at home, cousin is intimate, right?"

Ming Lanying snorted coldly, Ming Langtao paid a lot of money to solve the urgent need, and left with Meng Huaisu satisfied, Ming Lanying looked at the contract book, and slapped the contract book into Ye Jielu's arms angrily.

Ye Jielu didn't dare to squeak, the image of eating soft rice was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Hebai sighed helplessly and shook his head, stepped forward and patted Ye Jielu's shoulder, "Brother, it's okay, even if you eat your sister-in-law's soft rice for the rest of your life, I won't look down on you." ”

Ye Juelu: "......"

Ning Er threw herself into Ming Lanying's arms, and looked at her with sparkling eyes, "Mother is so powerful, let Daddy not have to do hard work at once!" ”

Although Ning'er is young, she knows what conscription is, and those who are in the border fortress are free conscription for life, and she has to garrison the snowy mountains in winter, repair the city wall in summer, and build the city wall to protect the country in spring and autumn, and it is common for her to die of exhaustion.

Every time Ye Jielu was dragged to serve, he would lie on the bed for two days when he came back, Ning Er was distressed, but he couldn't do anything, now Ming Lanying let him be exempted from thirty years of conscription, and no one can say what will happen after thirty years.

Imperial Physician Zhao was very old, and even if he was exiled, he was not allowed to serve forced labor, so he escaped, and Dong Xia looked at her with admiration, "Sister-in-law was so domineering just now!" ”

Ming Lanying raised the corners of her mouth, "Although something unpleasant happened today, there are good things, let's eat a hot pot today!" Ye Juelu, go kill a sheep to help the fun! ”

Originally, her original intention of buying sheep was for goat milk, but the side plug was too bitter, and the sheep didn't produce much milk, so she still ate it. Ye Jielu glanced at the four fat sheep and five lambs in the sheepfold, silently took the knife and dragged a fat sheep, pulled it to the corner and slaughtered it neatly.

Hebai and Ning'er cheered, Dongxia also smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, Minglan Ying arranged tasks one by one, and the small courtyard was lively again.

Today's bad things and good things are all together, Ming Lanying also drank two bowls of wine on the head, chatting and laughing as usual, no one found the problem at first, and when they sat down to roast together after the meal, everyone found something different.

Ming Lanying looked at the fire in a trance, her little face was flushed, her eyebrows were smiling, and she was well-behaved like a child. Ye Jielu was the first to notice that something was wrong, and stretched out his hand in front of her to shake it, Ming Lanying just turned his eyes to him slowly, his eyes were sparkling under the candlelight, and he was smiling, and Ye Jielu's breath was stagnant.

Ning Er held the peeled chestnuts to Ming Lanying's mouth, but she didn't open her mouth for a long time, and tilted her head suspiciously, "Mother?" ”

The movements of the father and son made everyone notice her strange appearance, and Hebai had never seen Ming Lanying when she had such a cute time, so she looked at it twice in surprise.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

Dong Xia hurriedly touched the pulse, and shook his head with a laugh for a while, "It's okay, I'm just drunk." ”

Imperial Physician Zhao brushed off his intentions and laughed, "She only drank two bowls, and this amount of wine can't even be compared to winter and summer." ”

"Grandfather!" Dong Xia glared at Imperial Physician Zhao, Hebai couldn't help laughing, and came to Ming Lanying with his hands, "It's all said that I spit out the truth after drinking, I'll try it!" ”

"Sister-in-law, where is all your money hidden?"

Ming Lanying was stunned, "Silver? No, not enough to spend. ”

"Sister-in-law, who is the person you hate?"

"I hate Ye Jielu, it's all him, and I'm still here to read a bunch of unfinished ledgers!"

Ye Jielu smiled helplessly, the corners of his mouth raised shallowly, and his cold facial features softened in an instant, and he was much closer, and was seen by Ming Lanying.

Ming Lanying looked at him stupidly and murmured, "It's so good-looking." ”

"Huh?" Hebai got closer, heard it clearly, and turned to her line of sight suspiciously, only to see Ye Jielu's expressionless handsome face, "Brother? ”

Ye Juelu: "? ”

Hebai suddenly shouted, "Sister-in-law just said that my brother is so good-looking!" ”

Ye Jielu was stunned for a moment, Ming Lanying was still staring at him and smiling stupidly, the hot and hot eyes seemed to burn his skin, and he couldn't stop the heat, and the sudden restlessness made Ye Jielu look away a little at a loss.

Dong Xia smiled and bent over, and Imperial Doctor Zhao also smiled and teased: "Seeing that your relationship is so good, the old man is relieved, while he is still young, he will make two younger brothers and sisters for Ning'er." ”

"Younger siblings? Why do you want to make it? Ning Er tilted her head and asked a simple question, amusing the adults who were still conscious.

Ye Jielu drank a large bowl of cold water uncomfortably, and he couldn't suppress the heat in his body and the heat on his face.

Hebai laughed and burst into tears, "You don't need to know now, your father just knows." ”

Ye Juelu: "......"

Dongxia smiled and blushed, Hebai held Ming Lanying's face, forcibly turned back her eyes, and asked with a serious face, "Sister-in-law, look into my eyes and tell me, who is your favorite person now?" ”

"Like?" Ming Lanying tilted her head, just enough to see Ye Jielu again, and looked at him with a smile, "Ye Jielu is very annoying, but it is so good-looking, I like it very much." ”

Hebai jumped up excitedly, "Sure enough, he spit out the truth after drinking!" My sister-in-law and my brother are a match made in heaven! ”

Ning Er knew the meaning of a match made in heaven, and cheered excitedly, the lively atmosphere would make people go up, and Imperial Doctor Zhao was also happy when he was old, and raised the wine bowl and shouted: "A match made in heaven, such a beautiful thing, you should drink a big bowl!" ”

Ming Lanying didn't understand what they said again, but it didn't prevent her from joining in the fun, and she also raised the wine bowl and did another bowl.

A few people celebrated by themselves, not caring about the other party at all, Ye Jielu was about to burn because of Ming Lanying's words.

"I'm going to shovel snow." Ye Jielu fled in a panic, amused a room of people, and blew a cold wind outside the courtyard for a long time to suppress the crazy throbbing in his heart.

I didn't expect her to be so straightforward today, which caught him off guard, but the excitement and expectation in his heart were not fake.

He always thought that Ming Lanying had no other meaning for him, these days of getting along seemed to be intimate, and he knew the distance behind him, he didn't understand these complicated feelings before, he just wanted to simply protect her and Ning'er, and when he came back to his senses, he found that she had a place in the future plan.

One stood under the eaves, looking at the dark and silent snowy night, and gradually became distracted, until there was a crane white exclamation from the house.

"Sister-in-law, calm down! It's fire! ”

"Mother!"

Ye Jielu's movements were faster than his brain, and he had already rushed in first, "What's wrong?" ”

Hebai and Dongxia grabbed Ming Lanying, who had been leaning into the fire, and the strength of Hebai's martial arts practitioners couldn't hold back a person who was drinking crazy, "Brother! I can't hold it anymore, and my sister-in-law wants to get into the fire to keep warm! ”

Ye Jielu strode forward, wrapped his long arms, and directly trapped the woman who was drinking crazy, and heard Ming Lanying muttering, "It's so cold, you need to keep warm, it's warm in the fire......"

Ming Lanying was imprisoned, feeling the heat on his body, he looked for the heat source and drilled into his arms, Ye Jielu hugged her tightly, controlling her away from the fire, "Hebai, go and light the charcoal basin, your sister-in-law is cold." ”

"Oooh!"

Dongxia watched the two hug each other, couldn't help blushing, and helped Imperial Doctor Zhao, who had drunk his head, to go home, "Brother Ye, it's not early, let's go back first." ”

This time, there was no need for Ye Jielu to say, Hebai took the initiative to send Dongxia and his grandchildren back, and before closing the door, Hebai also asked: "Brother, does Ning'er need to sleep with me tonight?" ”

Ye Jielu glared at her, gritted his teeth and refused, "No, it's good for Ning'er to sleep, nothing, will, hair, birth." ”

Hebai smiled sheepishly, closed the door and left intimately.

Ning'er saw her father and mother hugging each other and happily squeezed between the two, "Ning'er wants to hug too!" ”

Ming Lanying noticed a small thing squeezed into her arms, looked down and saw that it was her precious son, and hugged him happily, "Baby Ning'er." ”

"Mother!"

"Ning'er baby!"

"Mother!"

Ming Lanying hugged Ning Er and drilled into Ye Jielu's arms, found a warm and comfortable position, closed her eyes and fell asleep, she slept very quickly, Ye Jielu sighed helplessly, asked Ning Er to sit on the side of the bed, and carried the sleeping person to the bed.

Close the door, make the bed, stuff the person into the quilt, tear off her coat three or two times, Ning Er consciously lay down on her quilt, blew the lamp, and the room was immediately dark. Ming Lanying was not honest when she slept, and Ye Jielu was afraid that she would be drunk and pressed Ning'er so she slept in the middle by herself.

As soon as Ye Jielu lay down, he found that the people around him had rolled into his quilt, and their cold hands and feet were on him, sticking to him firmly like an octopus. The soft body was clinging to it, the familiar fragrance was pouring up, and the soft and moist hot breath was on the side of the neck, and the hot air rushed straight to the head, but the hot blood was flowing downward.

Ye Jielu tried to take her hand away lightly, but as soon as she took it away, there was a dissatisfied whisper in her ear, and she immediately let go of her hand, and she couldn't sleep with her blood surging all over her body, Ye Jielu sighed and opened his eyes until dawn.

The little sparrows under the eaves sang a minor tune one after another, and Ming Lanying's biological clock woke her up on time, and she felt sore before she opened her eyes, as if her arms and neck were not her own, and she couldn't move for a long time, and she whimpered in pain, but the things under her felt very good, warm and comfortable, so that she couldn't help but touch it more.

"Awake?"

The low and hoarse voice above her head, and the reverberations under her vibrate, startled her, and she immediately came back to her senses, and when she raised herself in astonishment, she saw Ye Jielu's tired face, "You ......"

Ye Jielu said in a hoarse voice, weakly and helplessly: "You get up first." ”

Ming Lanying propped up her hand and took a look, only to find that she was half lying on him, her clothes were intact, and she didn't even take off her middle clothes, and Ye Juelu's clothes were still there, but the placket on her chest was wide open, a little messy, as if someone had rubbed it open, revealing a large area of beautiful and delicate muscle lines, and Ming Lanying blushed.

"You, you, you! What did you do to me last night! ”

"Nothing, you hold me and let go."

Ye Jielu slowly moved his stiff body, his body was sore and sore after not moving all night, and he found that as long as the drunk Ming Lanying had something to hold after falling asleep, she was very peaceful, the kind that could not move all night.

Ming Lanying had a very good wine in her last life, and she wouldn't break it when she was drunk, so she drank more unscrupulously, but she didn't expect the amount of alcohol to get worse here, and her memory was still intermittent, barely piecing together a memory, but it was also shameful to bury it in place, what did she do!

Ming Lan Ying buried herself in the quilt and pretended to be dead, Ye Juelu breathed the chaotic qi in her body, and the misty eyes of Ming Lan Ying when she first woke up in her mind, and the whimper, always lingered, and she was restless and excited early in the morning, and she couldn't wait to slap herself directly to sober up.

Ming Lanying's muffled voice came out of the quilt, "What about Ning'er?" ”

"I woke up in the morning and went to the yard to practice martial arts."

Ming Lanying pretended to be dead in despair, drinking and harming people! Ning'er must have seen the mess of the two of them, inappropriate for children, embarrassing......

"I drank too much last night, there are some things you don't have to worry about, and don't take them to heart."

Ye Jielu replied in a dull voice, of course he couldn't forget it, Ming Lanying still didn't have the face to him, "You go out to make breakfast first, it's time to eat." ”

"Okay."

Ye Jielu cooked breakfast, and Ming Lanying came out slowly, and Hebai squeezed his eyebrows at Ye Jielu, "Brother, you can!" I waited all night last night and didn't hear any movement, and my sister-in-law almost couldn't get out of bed today. ”

Ye Jielu had a cold face, picked up the stick in the corner of the wall next to him, and beat him up indiscriminately, "Children, don't talk nonsense!" ”

"Whew! Brother, why are you beating me! I'm not a kid again! ”

"Brother! Elder brother! I was wrong! I shouldn't have opened my mouth! I was wrong! Oh!! ”

Hebai ran around the yard to dodge sticks, and finally was punished for a handstand in the corner for two hours, and Ming Lanying's face did not change and Ning'er finished breakfast, and she couldn't see that she was embarrassed at all.

Dongxia came over with the freshly cooked nourishing soup, and saw the aggrieved and crying Hebai, "Hebai, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ning Er squatted next to her to wipe her tears and shook her head, "Aunt Hebai talked nonsense and was beaten by her father. ”

"Talking nonsense?"

Hebai choked up and said, "My brother can't do it at all, nothing happened last night, so I was excited." ”

"Huh?" Dong Xia glanced at the tonic soup in his hand and silently hid behind him.

Ning Er retorted with a serious face: "Daddy is amazing, he can do it very well!" My aunt talked carefully and was taught a lesson by my father. ”

"Hebai, I'll give you medicine later, it can relieve the pain in your arm." After Dong Xia finished speaking, he ran back with a red face.

Hearing his son's serious and confident words, Ye Jielu was silent for a long time and decided to add an hour to Hebai.

Ming Lanying didn't dare to look at Ye Jielu for a day, and would rather hide in the house and read the account book than say a word to him, which was really uncomfortable.

But under the same roof, the contact that should have been unavoidable, Hebai stood upside down for three hours, trembling into chaff, lying softly beside Ming Lanying.

"Sister-in-law...... Save my dog's life......"

Ming Lanying lightly circled a stroke on the ledger, "I remember who fooled me last night." ”

Hebai slowly turned his head and cried bitterly, "Huh! ”
