A small servant in the Fang Mansion also ran inside happily, and as he ran, he also shouted: "Master, madam, young master is back." Fang Liangping and Mrs. Fang also walked out when they heard this. And here, Fang Xiao also walked in with Su Youlian and Qi Siyao. Mrs. Fang also took a good look at Fang Xiao with pity and said, "My child, you are thin again." ”

"Mother, where. Not really. Fang Xiao also said with a wry smile, while also giving his father a look and asking him to help say something. Fang Liangping also nodded knowingly and said, "Okay, madam, what else can this Xiao'er do." But aren't there two girls standing on your side? ”

Although Fang Liangping couldn't tell the difference between the two, Mrs. Fang had seen Qi Siyao. I've seen it, I've seen it. This ceremony is also seen. This Su Sorrow also saluted Fang Liangping and Mrs. Fang and said, "Sorrow has seen Uncle Fang, Aunt Fang. Qi Siyao also bowed down and said, "Qi Siyao has seen Uncle Fang, Aunt Fang. Mrs. Fang also smiled and pulled Su Wei and said, "What is your aunt and uncle this girl? ”

Su Youlian also blushed a little and said, "Mother Lao remembers, I have also been in the south for a long time, this is not a thing. "That's fine, if it's delayed because of that kind of thing, it's troublesome. Mrs. Fang also spoke.

Fang Liangping also felt embarrassed that Qi Siyao was standing here alone, and after smiling, he said, "Madame, but you forgot someone?"

Mrs. Fang also snorted and said, "I should not have recognized it, but if I have already entered the door of this Fang family, I will also be the daughter-in-law of the Fang family." I won't mention the things of the previous dynasty, but in the future, I will also have to abide by the rules in this mansion. Si Yao, do you understand?"

Qi Siyao still didn't understand how she heard this, and after saluting again, she said, "Siyao thanked her mother. ”

Mrs. Fang also nodded with satisfaction and said, "In this way, the courtyard in this mansion can also be used, and there is a side courtyard that needs to be cleaned because it has been useless, so I live in Fang Xiao's courtyard with such pity." As for Si Yao, there are two wings in Yongning's courtyard. At the beginning of the year, I also lived there, so it was convenient to tidy up a little. That's how it was arranged for the time being. ”

"Ma'am. Fang Liangping also stopped for a moment and spoke.

Mrs. Fang also glanced at her husband and said, "What's wrong?"

"It's not a matter how you arrange this Siyao, it's just that Xiao'er and them haven't saluted yet. It's not good to let Sorrow live in this one yard. Fang Liangping also stroked his beard and spoke.

"You've also been in the Ministry of Rites for a long time, and your mind is limited by these rules and regulations. Mrs. Fang also opened her mouth and said, "These two children have entered the Fang Mansion, what does it matter where they live? And the people inside are under our own noses. But you reminded me that tomorrow I will also go to that temple to find a master to calculate when it is a good day. ”

"Since Madame has said so, let's do as Madame says. Fang Liangping also nodded and said, "By the way, Fang Xiao, there is a letter in your study that Lu Jiyu gave you." I didn't look at it and just put it on you. ”

"Okay, Daddy. Fang Xiao also raised his hand and said.

Mrs. Fang also opened her mouth and said: "Here Fang Xiao helps arrange Si Yao, and I am also familiar with it with pity." Fang Xiao couldn't answer, so he pulled Su Yulian and walked inside. Fang Liangping also smiled, he naturally knew what his wife meant. But he doesn't have any opinion on this, after all, Qi Siyao, this girl is very assertive and bold, if this back house really doesn't have a master, it may not be stable. In this way, it is better to stand up Su Wei, who knows the roots, so that this Qi Siyao can stay by Fang Xiao's side with peace of mind.

Fang Xiao also thought of the key inside after a slight turn, and wanted to chat with Fang Liangping for a few more words, but also saw that Fang Liangping had already turned around and went inside. But Fang Xiao figured it out, and Qi Siyao also quickly understood. She also knows that what she is doing is also a bit shocking, after all, it is difficult for this woman who disobeys her parents' orders to be recognized. It was not easy for Mrs. Fang to regard her as her daughter-in-law, how could she dare to ask for anything? Besides, she just wanted to be with Fang Xiao. So thinking of this, he also smiled at Fang Xiao and said, "Since Xiaolang is like this, take me around." ”

Fang Xiao also said with a smile: "Then come with me." "I also took Qi Siyao through this hall, came to the second courtyard, and walked to the left through a corridor, and arrived at a two-sided patio, which was facing a wall, and there was a courtyard wall on the left and right, and the courtyard wall on the left was also open, Fang Xiao took Qi Siyao in, and there was also a stone table in the middle of this courtyard. The left and right sides are each configured with wings and transepts. The room on the right has long been occupied. And the one on the left also seems to be cleaning up. Fang Xiao also smiled and said: "This is Yongning's yard, I think you will also live here during this time, how can it take five or six days to stay in the opposite yard to clean up again." This yard is originally Yongning, but she also followed me outside, so this side is not commonly used, and the people are not taking care of it. ”

Fang Yongning also heard Fang Xiao's voice and walked out. She also received the news of Fang Xiao's return earlier, but she was not in a hurry to go out after this tidying, and then people were sent to clean the yard, and she also guessed that someone would inevitably live in. But Fang Xiao naturally came over, so he also smiled and said, "Brother, you're back." Then he also saw this Qi Siyao, and after sighing, he bowed slightly to Qi Siyao and said, "Yongning has seen Sister Siyao." ”

"Ah!" Qi Siyao also didn't expect this Fang Yongning to see her like this, and after being shocked for a moment, she hurriedly said, "Sister Yongning doesn't have to be like this, just just manage the level crossing." Fang Yongning also motioned for them to walk in, and said as she walked: "It's always rude to be like this, how can you say that you have also entered this mansion." At the time, I was worried that you would cause trouble to my brother, but now I can't make trouble for no reason. Besides, I actually admire your courage. ”

"Yongning, my sister is polite. This Qi Siyao also said after returning the salute.

And after Fang Xiao and the others sat down, this Fang Yongning also pulled out the two little maids as if offering treasures and said, "This is Chunxiang and Biyue." It was all prepared by her mother, and she also happened to follow her brother and Sister Si Yao. Anyway, the red candle I have at hand is the most handy, and Mo Lan will still follow Sister Sorrow after all. ”

"You're good, Red Candle has been with me for so many years, and you've become your person by your words. Fang Xiao also smiled and said, "In this way, just stay on your side, and Si Yao's personal maid is also for her to watch by herself." It's enough for me to have a little guy here now. Besides, Sorrow lives in my courtyard for the time being, and I can still command this Mo Lan. ”

Fang Yongning didn't have time to say anything more, and this little guy also ran in and said, "Young Master, this Lu family's Lu Jiyu son and Miss Lu family came to visit and said that they had something to discuss with the young master." Fang Xiao also thought about it and said, "Then you can bring them here." After taking the little girl out, Fang Xiao also said to Fang Yongning: "Close the curtain of this room, do you have good tea?"

"I'm a little prepared. Fang Yongning also stood up with a smile and went to arrange. Fang Xiao, on the other hand, squinted slightly and thought about something.

"The old family lives in Nanyang, ten miles away from the city. That chessboard street lives in Luxi, the father is a good martial artist, and no one knows the Jiang family's flower gun. I have no brother and no brother, and I am a beautiful girl. I'll call it Jiang Guizhi. In the year of Dabi, the imperial examination was opened, and all the people in the world went to the examination period. There was a scholar Xiao Luo Yi who was rushing to take the exam, and he was passing by my Jiang family set in time for the exam. I couldn't stand the wind and frost all the way, and I fell ill with typhoid fever in a broken temple. It was also a blessing that he didn't deserve to die, and his father brought him back to my house. Invite a famous doctor to treat his illness. That day, Luo Yi was well and well, and his father set up a banquet for him again. The little girl went upstairs to report to me, and she said, my girl, do you know that there is a handsome boy in our living room. only looks elegant and good-looking. When I heard this, my heart rejoiced, and I hurried down the stairs with the maid ring. I stopped outside the living room door, the window was high and my stature was low. Little girl, she gave me a good idea, she brought two eight-brick and one billet, and I leaned over to stand up. Wet the paper on the window lattice with the tip of his tongue, and the carpenter hung the thread to look carefully. I stood outside the hall and stole my son-in-law's Nahai, and saw Luo Yi wearing a square scarf on his head, and he was wearing Yingge green. That face is as white and beautiful as jade, and his eyebrows are clear and beautiful. Just listening to him talk about poetry and essays eloquently, I know that the talent in the belly will not be low. A wisp of love tied me, and I went upstairs to see my mother to explain my heart. Zhao Zhengfei also shouted hello to this scene, but the audience was already silent. Because there were only three people watching the play, Zhao Zhengfei and Chi Lao. And the masked woodcutter.

"I don't know, where did the night send the person I wanted. Chi Lao also said after a slight swing with the lid of the teacup.

"It's where it should be, right the stamen. We people who are dark at night are used to moving at night, so we are timid. If you are scared by your people again, you may go the wrong way, or it is possible to kill the wrong person, after all, this is not good for your hands and feet. The woodcutter also smiled and spoke.

"Are you threatening me?" said Chi Lao coldly.

"Don't dare. The woodcutter also said slightly, "Keep singing." ”

The people on the stage also trembled obviously for a moment and continued to sing: "I said, my mother, mother, do you know that a woman should marry a man." How can there be an old girl who never goes out in this life. My mother saw my henchmen and deliberately shook her head, but she didn't follow. It's not appropriate to say he's a foreigner. When I saw that my mother was unwilling, my face sank and my head lowered. He snorted and turned his face west, lowered his head and said nothing. The little mouth was so pouting that it could tie a donkey. The second father and mother got married to me and married Luo Yi on a good day. After getting married, I can't say that I can't say that I can't say that I love and love, and the friendship is lingering, and the small life is as sweet as honey. Luo Yi knew that I was proficient in martial arts, so he accompanied the smiling face first and then made a fuss. plopped and knelt on the ground, cheekily asked to apprentice, and he didn't follow if he didn't teach him to use a gun. I said that we have to set rules for apprenticeship. He said that the embroidered soles were my torture tools, and I laughed at one sentence. During the day, I accompanied him to study books, and at night I taught him marksmanship in the garden. He had learned seventy-two paths, and he hadn't learned the thirty-two paths yet. Good men have Ling Yunzhi, and Luo Yi is bent on entering Beijing to seek an official position. I couldn't keep the husband and wife to separate, and I cried wet that night on that embroidered pillow. Hand in hand, I will send him, outside the second gate. I gently tugged at his shirt and said in shyness. I am happy to be pregnant for my wife, I don't know if it is a man or a woman. ”

"Brother Fang, since you are so familiar. Why do you bother with all these tricks? Lu Jiyu also drank the flower tea in front of him and said. "This is my sister's collection, if I heard that Lingruo is here, she may not take it out, and you still picked it. Fang Xiao also spoke.

And Lu Lingruo also smiled and said: "Although I think what Fang Gongzi said is right, my brother is not wrong about one thing, that is, they are all so familiar." Mo Lan, why do you pinch your voice. Lu Lingruo also smiled at the curtain and said.

And the only one in the curtain that responded to her was a song: "He said that if he gave birth to a boy named Luo Song, the year after he left would be the leap month of the Jiazi year." On the 15th day of August, I gave birth to my Luo Song'er. Hug Jiao'er thinks about her husband every night and night for the lonely lamp, and every day she sees through it, and he has no return date. After my father and mother died, I supported the family business and raised Luo Song'er with white sideburns. I was only twenty years old when I parted from Luo Yi, and I am sixty-one this year. Forty years of widowhood is unbearable, how can you forget the past. It's a pity that I'm infatuated and can't die, and the forty-year-old Luo Yi hangs in my heart. Every year, he asked someone to carry letters and inquire about his news from time to time. On that day, the chief soldier called Ma Ji came, and he said that Yanshan turned against Lao Luo Yi. Instead, he went to Wagang to raise the banner of righteousness, and he wanted to kill Luo Yi to receive a reward and get promoted to an official position. When Luo Song'er heard this, her heart became angry, and she stabbed the thief Ma Ji to death with one shot. I left Jiang's family and went to Wagang to find Luo Yi non-stop. Along the way, someone asked me, what do I say, how can I say? Look at the old mothers in their sixties and seventies, with their children, grandchildren and daughters-in-law, the husband and the servants. I had withered bark and white hair. Looking for a son-in-law in the south and north, outsiders know what the truth is. The old man sat in the south camp, and my son did not return to doubt after the book. ”

"Sister Lingruo, are you here just to see us?" Fang Yongning also pulled Lu Lingruo to ask.
