[Water Margin Derivatives] Yulou people are drunk with apricot flowers

Everyone was exchanging pleasantries, but they saw Ximen Qing's servant, Dai An'er, poking his head outside the curtain.

Xiaoluan's eyes were sharp, she saw it, and walked a few steps closer to the curtain, and asked through the curtain: "There are all guests inside, what are you doing in here, let grandma see carefully, and ask the big servant to beat you!"

The little fellow hurriedly said: "My sister, I don't know that this room is full of guests. If there is no order from the master, I dare to come. Tell my sister the truth, it was the master who sent me to find Wu Niang." , I'm afraid something will happen to the family."

Xiaoluan was shocked when she heard this and said: "Shaohun said, now that the eldest grandma has just raised her brother, it's not easy to talk nonsense, what's wrong?"

Dai An'er said quietly: "Just now a few carriages came around to the back door of our house, so it turned out that our eldest sister and uncle came back!"

Xiao Luan was puzzled when she heard this, "The elder sister just went back, why make a fuss, yes, why didn't they come in through the main entrance, now that they have a little brother, they should come to join in the fun."

Dai An'er heard the words and shook her head and said: "There is a lawsuit on her body, who dares to come in through the main gate and cause trouble for the master? I didn't listen to the truth, and said in a trance that something bad happened to the in-laws, so the elder sister and uncle were dismissed." , took the family's valuables and fled here, and the relatives and grandparents went to the aunt's house in Tokyo to avoid disaster, and asked for news along the way."

Hearing this, Xiaoluan jumped up and said: "How good this is, just in time for the guests at home, there are so many people, I'm afraid it will be a disaster if the news gets out."

Dai An'er said: "Isn't it? That's why the master told me to come in quietly. How many grandmas are there? If there are too many people, try to ask the third grandma to go there, because the eldest grandma is not good enough to accompany the eldest sister." My son is talking to my son-in-law, and my father is also busy ahead of time, so I count on the third grandma to help out in the back, and I just store everything in Sanniang's room."

Hearing what he said so solemnly, Xiaoluan nodded quickly and said: "Since you are so stupid, brother, wait for me a moment, I will go in and return you grandma." After saying that, Fu came to Yulou again.

Meng Yulou was teasing Guan Geer at the moment, that Guan Geer was shy and timid, like a little girl, who knows that Dudu sees Yulou very close, every time he sees her, he opens his small hands to hug her , Yulou hugged the child in his arms with joy, because the room was full of guests, so he didn't shy away from it. He untied his pearl shirt and took out a round ball to tease the child in his hand. She exposed Yulou's crisp breasts, and her small face was arched and arched against it, so cute.

Sister Li Ping saw it and said with a smile: "This boy, just be nice to his third mother, and ask him to recognize you as his mother tomorrow." .”

After playing for a while, Li Ping'er took the child again, Yulou turned around to tidy up her clothes, and Xiao Luan took advantage of this gap to reply: "Grandma, my master sent Dai'an'er to send a message outside, saying that if the meeting inside is not busy, please I went to grandma's house, the eldest sister is back."

Meng Yulou was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "It's not a year or a festival, what is she running here for?" Then, he laughed again and said, "Could it be that the eldest sister sent her a letter saying that these days I'm going to raise my elder brother, please come back and have a look?"

Xiaoluan shook her head when she heard the words and said: "I'm afraid it's not true. I heard that the eldest sister and uncle came in through the back door, and vaguely heard that the in-laws had caused trouble in the court and sent their son and daughter-in-law to our house for a while. I also moved a lot of boxes and cages to come in. Grandpa will accompany the guests in front of me, so I don’t have time to relax. Let Dai’an come in and say, please accompany grandma in the third room first, and put the things in the third room."

Hearing this, Meng Yulou was secretly shocked. He was afraid that it would be inappropriate to take away the things from his son-in-law's house. First, he was afraid that his in-laws would leave him behind. Taking advantage of the fire to rob, conspiring against relatives and furniture, it spreads a bad reputation, but now that the daughter and son-in-law have arrived at the door, they have to be invited in... so they have to come forward first, ask carefully before making plans.

Thinking of this point, she nodded, turned around and smiled as if she was fine: "Eldest Sister sent someone to talk about it. She is not very cheerful and wants to find someone to talk with. Now I will go there first. Second Sister and Sister Ping are here. Accompanying, it's the same."

Saying this, he said a thousand blessings to Mrs. Xia Qianhu and Mrs. Juren. The two returned the salute in a hurry, and said goodbye to the other guests. Then they helped Xiaoluan's hand to come out.

Yulou nodded and said: "I've already found out about this matter. It's late today, so it's not good to invite my uncle to the inner house. I'm afraid that after a while, the master will have something to ask him. You will temporarily settle the uncle in the master's house." I rested in my small study, asked a few big servants to wait and accompany me, and sent a few little maids to help my eldest sister to my room. I will see you first, so don’t be alarmed by my aunt. She is here today. I just gave birth, so I can't handle it."

Dai An'er agreed to go, Yulou held Xiaoluan's hand, and hurried back to the third room with two lotus steps. When he reached the door, he saw several housekeepers carrying boxes and cages inside, Yulou knew that this was his in-laws It was so soft that they had to lift it up and break it carefully.

Just after finishing work, I sent the housekeeper and daughter-in-law out, when I heard the voice of Pei Linglong outside, I knew it was Miss Ximen coming back, so I hurried out and continued, just when I reached the front of the outer door, I saw the little girls supporting the elder sister Ximen The son came in with dark clouds and a pale face. When he saw Yulou, he seemed to kowtow while inserting a candle, crying: "Mother! Save the child..."

Before he finished speaking, tears were already falling like rain.

It turned out that when the eldest sister Ximen was a girl at home, Meng Yulou loved her the most, and often kept her in her own room, telling her to read and write. Even though she was not her own daughter, she was closer than the first lady of the Chen family. When the eldest sister left the court, Meng Yulou took the initiative to mention it to Ximen Qing, and accompanied him with a Nanjing gold lacquer painted Babu bed brought by his remarriage.

Now Meng Yulou sees her daughter fleeing here in such desperation, crying so disfigured, and feels very pity in his heart, and his eyes turn red, he hastily helped him up, embraced her in his arms and softly comforted her:

"My sister, now that I'm home, everything is easy to handle, so don't just cry, it's even worse if you're exhausted from crying all day, it will make your father feel bad, even if we look at it, it hurts."

Xiaoluan also persuaded her for a while, and the eldest sister Fang gradually stopped crying.

When Yulou saw her, she hurriedly ordered Xiaoluan to take care of the eldest sister to wash up, re-shaven her face, found some fresh clothes of her own for her to wear, and said with a smile, "Girl, don't be disgusted, these are all made for me by your father in the past." The clothes I wear, I am also a person who has reached the 31 mark, and I don’t like such delicate colors, it’s a coincidence that you are here now, if you don’t dislike it, let’s pass it on for now, I have never worn it before.”

Sister Ximen heard this and said: "What did mother say, I lost my mother that day since I was a child, and my father was away from home all year round, running business outside, thanks to mother, treat me like my own girl, call me Wen Mozhen, now that my daughter has just grown up, not to mention repaying the kindness of her parents for her upbringing, but it has caused the family to take in our young husband and wife, it is a daughter who is unfilial, how can there be any reason to dislike her mother's clothes?"

Yulou listened, Fang nodded and smiled and said, "I'm just telling you casually, good girl, don't worry too much. Just now I have asked Dai'an to lead my uncle to the small study to rest. I'm afraid your father will come in later. I still have something to ask him, logically I should meet up, but it's late today, so it's not good to invite my uncle to the inner house, can I see you tomorrow?"

The elder sister laughed and said, "Mother, when is she going to see that boy, you don't even need to ask me. He is like your own son. How dare you refuse to obey me when you want to pass him on?"

Yulou nodded and asked, "I don't know how old this uncle is now, I'm afraid he is a young child?" The elder sister said: "He is the same age as my daughter, only 17 years old this year."

Meng Yulou smiled and said, "It turns out that you can be regarded as a family member of the gods."

The eldest sister blushed when she heard this, and then lowered her pink neck and sighed: "It turned out to be a good marriage, who knows that there will be unpredictable things in the sky, and people will have good and bad fortune... The previous one was fine, and the aunt wrote a letter." , Said to raise a little brother soon, told me to go back and have a look, and was discussing this matter with my family.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night the night before, there was news from the city of Tokyo, saying that something happened to our family who was an official at that time, and now my father-in-law is his protégé and former official, so I don't know whether we should face a lawsuit.

My father-in-law and mother-in-law were so frightened that they sent me two to bring home a cage and hide for a few days, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law also left overnight to go to the aunt's house in Tokyo. , I went to inquire about the news, the whole family died and fled, and there was no one breathing in the ancestral house..."

Speaking of this touched my heart, I started to cry again.

When Yulou saw her, she quickly put her arms in her arms and coaxed her, "Young girl has been strong since she was a child, she never rubbed sand in her eyes, she has the same temper as your father, why is she so timid now? It's not that your family is being sued, but in my opinion, it's because the in-laws are too careful."

The eldest sister shook her head when she heard this and said: "Mother, that's not what you said. Nowadays, the court is full of civil and military affairs. Who doesn't know that my father-in-law is an official, and he came from Admiral Yang Jian Yang's door. Now he is in the South Prison for questioning. My father-in-law Without a backer, I'm afraid I'll be transformed into a censor by tomorrow, and I don't know."

That's all for Meng Yulou if he doesn't listen to these words, Huarong pales and her heart beats wildly after hearing these words, and she doesn't care about anything else at the moment, asking repeatedly: "Who are you talking about... who is being held in the South Prison gone?"

The eldest sister Ximen didn't know why, but she still said that it was Meng Yulou who cared about her in-law's family, so she quickly said again: "It's the commander of the Tokyo Imperial Army, Admiral Yang Jianyang."

Hearing this, Meng Yulou was at a loss for no reason, as long as she knew that Yang Jian was in danger or not, she asked so cleverly, her heart was anxious, her peachy face and pearls rolled down, and she cried along with her elder sister out.

The eldest sister Ximen was puzzled when she saw it, because she asked: "Mother, what's the matter? You also cried with your daughter?"

When Yulou heard this, she came back to her senses and knew that she had lost her composure, so she could only hold back the confusion in her heart, put away her tears, and reluctantly said:

"You don't know, since you came out of the cabinet, your father became an adopted son under the family of Cai Xiangye in Tokyo by chance. Then Cai Xiangye and Admiral Yang are sworn brothers, so he is also a relative of our family. Now something happened. , I'm afraid that your father will be hurt..."

The eldest sister listened to Fang nodded and said: "That's okay, I heard from my father-in-law that although Cai Xiangye has been implicated, he is only the official Zhao family in Tokyo--Long live today cannot be separated from him for a moment, so he has never approved the imperial censor's words." The official’s impeachment is just that Admiral Yang somehow broke something this time, so he was taken into custody in the South Prison, and I heard that there will be a joint trial by the three courts in a few days.”

Hearing this, Meng Yulou was really worried, but Yang Jian was just Ximen Qing's god-uncle, and had nothing to do with him. Lost his mind and said:

"Since that's the case, it's fine if you want to come to my master. You can live in my room today, and I'll clean up the house for you two when it's bright tomorrow."

The eldest sister Ximen was exhausted all the way, and finally escaped from birth and returned to her mother's house, her body became sore immediately, she nodded and said: "I know, maybe I haven't slept with Sanniang for a long time, but I miss you."

Yulou forced a happy face and said: "You are not busy sleeping, the journey is tiring, I asked Xiaoluan to send you to take a bath, and then go to the front to see, your father has not come back."

Saying that, he ordered Xiao Luan to take good care of the eldest girl, changed his own homely clothes, and went to the front to inquire, and saw that the guests who came to congratulate him in the back hall had already dispersed, and I am afraid that the men in the front would all go back, so they turned around and went to the small study .

Before reaching the front of the gate, I saw Ximen Qing coming out head-on, and a young man with pink make-up and jade was showing him off. When Yulou saw her, he quickly turned around and hid behind the hanging flower gate. The young man didn't see her. Because said: "Send off my father-in-law."

Ximen Qing nodded, turned around, and had just left the Chuihua Gate, but seeing Yulou standing aside, he jumped and said, "It's late at night, what are you doing here?"

Yulou said: "The girl is taking a bath in my room, and I'm coming out to look for you. What's the matter?"

Ximenqing heard that his daughter was sleeping in the Yulou room, so he didn't take her back to the room, and asked Dai'an to lead her with a lantern, and the husband and wife came to the big study in front.

The two sat on the spring bench, Dai'an made some tea, went out and closed the door.Yuloufang asked: "You are the young man who sent you out just now, but isn't your uncle?"

Ximen Qing said: "Isn't it the husband of our eldest sister, Chen Jingji? It's a pity that he is a good young man. This time, his in-laws will ruin things. I'm afraid that this child will become my pensioner's son-in-law..."

After hearing this, Yulou quickly asked: "It can be said that the elder sister cried for a long time in my room just now, and I tried to persuade him, I'm afraid that after taking a bath and going to bed now, what happened to the in-laws? It doesn't matter..."

Ximen Qingdao: "As the saying goes, companionship with a king is like companionship with a tiger. Who can say for sure about this official matter? Our in-laws got this job that day, and they were my uncle Admiral Yang's disciples. I have been fine for the past few years. I think my uncle is one of the four powerful ministers in the court. My godfather is the brother of Cai Xiangye. Guan Shen, what is he doing um..."

Hearing this, Meng Yulou's heart turned cold, and he didn't know that Yang Jian had never been imprisoned in the South Prison and suffered a lot. He thought he was a first-rank official, even if he had one, as the saying goes, courtesy is not inferior to ordinary people , If you can’t be punished by a doctor, those prisoners don’t dare to do anything... I heard people say that the Sanfa Department’s yamen is too hot, even if you don’t ask the truth, you may not be able to survive...

Thinking of this, my heart tightened, and I asked, "If Mr. Yang enters the South Prison, can he still reverse the case?"

When Ximen Qing heard her asking about Yang Jian, he was a little curious and said, "Why did you find out about him today, and he didn't have much contact with our family in the past."

Yulou hurriedly made amends: "He is your god-in-law after all, and he used to be stationed here. I asked him what he did for no reason, but I was afraid that I would hurt you."

Ximen Qing frowned after hearing this and said: "I can't say for sure, I have to send someone to my godfather in Tokyo to inquire about it. As long as the old man is fine, it won't be too much to be involved with relatives at this level, I'm afraid It's not easy for the son-in-law to get out of the relationship..."

Yulou nodded and said: "As the saying goes, people do not have long-term considerations, but they must have near-term worries. You are right to think about this matter. I also advocate going to my godfather to inquire, so I can rest assured." The husband and wife discussed it for a while, and made up their minds. Early in the morning, Er sent his big servants Lai Wang Laizhao and two to the Taishi Mansion in Tokyo to inquire about the matter.

Because Yulou left her eldest sister in the boudoir, she sent Ximen Qing to sleep in the fifth room, and I had a question about the night scene.

On the second day, Ximen Qingjue got up early, went to the yamen to order, and looked for the mansion newspaper. Some of them were frightened, because they reasoned that they were not feeling well, so they left the yamen early to fight Ma Lai's house. Yueniang was not well and impatient, so she never went in, and she still came to the Yulou room, but she didn't see her eldest sister, so she asked:

"Which mother's room did our girls go to?"

Yulou shook his head and said: "They are a young couple who came to our house, and they always asked the Chen family's children to sleep in the small study. A small courtyard was cleaned up inside to live in first. The house on the left and right was married by Sister Ping, and it is considered our family property. We didn’t live at the beginning because we were afraid that Sister Ping would be a widow and others would gossip. It’s been a long time now, why live in it ?”

Ximen Qing nodded and said: "Your idea is the best, but I never thought of it. Let's arrange for the young couple to live in that courtyard first, and it will be cheaper to eat at home."

Yulou said: "There is one more thing to tell Master. I saw that the eldest sister came here in a hurry, and the girl didn't bring a single one. It was just the young couple who came here on the road. There were no waiters around. The relatives outside watched It's not ridiculous, so the master asked Ren Yazi to come in, bought a 13-year-old little girl, and put it next to the elder sister to serve her, and the slave's name is Yuan Xiaoer, I don't know if it is good."

Ximen Qing said: "Why do you bother to ask me these small things? Now I'm going to the courtyard to discuss with my son-in-law. I just found the mansion report in the yamen and it's true. Take a look." The transcribed report comes from the residence.

When Meng Yulou saw this object, his heart beat suddenly. When he held it in his hand and opened it up for a closer look, he saw that it read:

"The patients recruiting barbarians today are better than Cai Jing, a scholar of the Chongzheng Palace. They used evil and treacherous capital to help them with shameless deeds, slandering and flattering. The superiors cannot assist the emperor in power, and praise Yuan Lihua; the inferiors cannot proclaim virtue and govern politics. , Protect and love Yuan Yuan. Only self-funded by profit and wealth, hope to favor and maintain the position, build up the party and conceive traitors, deceive the emperor, slander the good, unite the nobles, gather together, and rely on the Central Plains of the mausoleum. You Jingzhi's incompetence is also true. Wang Fu is greedy and rascal, and his behavior is better than that of comedians. Yang Jian used to be a dandy to inherit the shadow of his ancestors. The three ministers are all cliques, deceived internally and externally, and are the bewitchers of His Majesty's heart."

Seeing this, Meng Yulou secretly said in his heart: "This book hits the nail on the head, and the scolding is clever, so that although the official Zhao's face is passable, in order to keep his own public opinion, he has to develop one of the three assistant ministers, but he doesn't know why. On Yang Jian's head..."

Thinking of this, Yin asked: "Surely this is the record of the official censor?"

Ximen Qing nodded and said: "That's right, it was written by Yu Wenxu, the official censor. But it's not that he is full and has nothing to do. A Habaer raised by the court also treats a piece of meat on his rooster's head—size It's an official!"

Meng Yulou nodded and said, "Now our family is in trouble. Guess what, with the court salary, there is no reason to just eat and not work? What Master Yuwen said is reasonable, but Among the three, I watched from the sidelines, why should Admiral Yang be charged with a lighter charge, and the court only cares about who sent him..."

Ximen Qing said: "Who can say for sure, or maybe my uncle did something wrong before, Zhao Guan's family was worrying that he had no place to show his temper, and it happened that someone intervened with him, so it's unknown if he just went along with the flow and taught him a lesson. "

Meng Yulou nodded and said, "It's good if that's the case. I'm afraid the officials will let him out after being annoyed for a few days. After all, he's an ex-official in the hidden residence, and he's different from those scholars outside who are officials after imperial examinations."

Ximenqing nodded and said: "That's right, I heard from my godfather that this uncle was the Huangmen who the official family served when they were in the hidden residence. The prince was enthroned and sat in the palace at that time, and the concubine held the phoenix seal and sat as the queen. I love this Lord Yang the most, even though he often leads troops outside, every time he goes to Beijing to report on his duties, he still has to stay in the palace to serve the queen, he is considered a favorite minister, I don't know why the queen didn't keep him this time."

Hearing this, Meng Yulou suddenly remembered Yang Jian's gentle manner when he put on hairpins for her that day. It turned out that he often made three thousand beauties happy in the palace, and he couldn't blame the many ways to show mercy to women... Thinking, Suddenly, there was a sense of sadness in my heart, which made me jump.Hastily interrupted the daydream and said:

"Who can tell the truth about the affairs of the palace, and now we can only do our best and obey the destiny." The two discussed it for a while, but there was no result. Ximen Qing was upset and didn't want to hang around with the woman. Yulou saw that he was impatient Instead of urging him to sleep in another room, he sent him to eat, and ordered the two servants, Dai'an'er and Ping'an'er, to serve him well and send him to sleep in a small study outside.

Sitting alone next to the makeup mirror, I lazily removed the remaining makeup, and saw that the golden hairpin with my name engraved on it was still on my head. I took it off and held it in my hand for a closer look. Fangcaodi, Yulou people are drunk with apricot blossoms." Two sentences, I recited them silently twice in my heart, but I felt sweet in the corners of my mouth.Fang's heart became entangled, and she couldn't help thinking about how Yang Jian escaped from danger.

Back then, I was in danger many times, and it was Mr. Yang who was the hero who saved the beauty and protected the flowers. Now that he is in prison, he can only hate himself as a woman. He doesn't know how to save this person. In the midst of water and fire.

Just when she was feeling lingering, she suddenly saw Xiaoluan running from outside, panting delicately, and poking her head into the room.Meng Yulou saw her and asked her:

"What are you doing sneakily? Master Cai was here just now. You didn't say you came in to serve, but ran out for fun. You should beat him."

Xiaoluan heard that Ximenqing was not here, so she came in with confidence, and said, "Grandma, don't wrong the good man. Just now I agreed at the door, and then I saw Lai Zhao's wife waving at me at the gate. I went to ask her : "Sister-in-law, what's the matter? Could it be that you want to talk to the master and the third grandma?"

Then Zhao's daughter-in-law said no, because her family lived at Xijiaomen, when she was at home, she heard someone asking at the door, she came out and saw that she was a beautiful girl, about sixteen or seventeen, pretty, The girl said hand over the handkerchief for the servant, please ask the sister-in-law to find me out.The slave girl was puzzled, so she had to go with her, grandma guess who is looking for me? "

Hearing this, Meng Yulou's heart was moved, and he asked tentatively, "Could it be that you always say, the big girl of Hongyao?"

Xiaoluan clapped her hands and smiled when she heard this, "Grandma is really a living fairy, isn't she the big sister of Hongyao? She just smiled a little when she saw me coming out, her pair of peach blossom eyes are so pitiful, she cried like a peach, because she asked I, can you find a way to invite her to meet grandma, she has a lot to say to grandma, and there are things that Mr. Yang will give to grandma before he is arrested and enters Beijing."

Hearing this, Meng Yulou knew that he couldn't take over, and blamed Yang Jian in his heart. Even if he had something to say, he should entrust it to the male servant at home and tell his husband to know, why did he want a big girl to come over? Spread the word, and talk to yourself...

It's just that now that Xiaoluan has mentioned it, she refuses it straight away, if there is any major event related to Yang Jian's family life, wouldn't she have to regret for the rest of her life... Thinking of this, she is not in a hurry to agree, but complains to Xiaoluan:

"You hoof, now that the National People's Congress has a big heart, you don't discuss such a big matter with me, and you agree to it without permission. Now that Mr. Yang has been captured and locked in prison, who knows what will happen tomorrow. Now our family The elders of the in-laws have eaten his hands, and you dare to talk to his family, you are so courageous..."

Xiao Luan pursed her lips when she heard this, and said, "Grandma taught me how to be a human being? I have grown up like this, and it was also taught by my grandma. You usually say that our family is not such a snob. If the poor relatives asked for help, you also agreed. Now I see the big sister Hongyao crying like tears. Her master saved us again, so I agreed. I'm also in vain..."

When Yulou saw her talking back, she laughed out of embarrassment and said: "That's all, what kind of Jing Ke Nie Zheng is your hoof, I promise to do it, so as not to leave a person who is not virtuous and doesn't know the name of knowing how to repay you." .”

Xiaoluan's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "I knew that grandma was hesitating, but in her heart she was willing to help. Since that's the case, whenever grandma is free, let's meet."

Meng Yulou said: "Now I can't go to the Lotus Nunnery, and there is no good reason. I don't know how to meet..."

Xiaoluan said: "The big sister Hongyao has already thought about it for us, so she pretended to be a flower seller and came in through the back corner door. I led her to grandma's room and came in when the master was away during the day. Others can see the clue."

Yulou laughed when he heard the plan: "The girl Hongyao is clever, and she is also a good-looking person." The two discussed it properly, and Xiaoluan still accompanied Yulou to sleep on the kang in the inner room.

That Meng Yulou has always been a selfless and magnanimous master, regardless of whether the husband and the master come or not, he has always slept soundly, who knows that when he closed his eyes that night, he saw that Yang Jian was disheveled and covered with scars, in the Sanfasi Yamen During the interrogation, people were tortured, and when he woke up with a coquettish cry, it was Nankey Yimeng again, who turned around to look at Xiaoluan, who was sleeping soundly, and was very envious of this child who was still in love, and his heart was entangled, leaning gloomily on the smoke cage, I don't know how this time will be good or bad, but I hate that I was born as a woman, like a crab without legs, so I can't be free, so I have to sit in my boudoir and wait for the news...I didn't sleep all night.

On the second day, Xiaoluan slept well, turned over and stretched her waist, and saw Yulou sitting beside the smoked cage, seemingly asleep, with tears on her face, she was taken aback, jumped up quickly, and caught Yulou The lotus root arm shook and said:

"Sanniang wake up, Sanniang wake up!"

Yulou woke up suddenly, seeing Xiaoluan looking at her in panic, her face was full of suspicion, and when she touched her face again, there was still pearls on her face, but her face flushed with embarrassment, and she spat:

"The nightmare you had yesterday, you slept well, you didn't know how to shake me."

After hearing this, Xiao Luan asked curiously: "Grandma has never had a nightmare, it's really strange, could it be that the last time Wu Niang was bewitched by an evil spirit, there were also dirty things in our room?"

Yulou shook his head and said: "That's not inevitable, I'm afraid it's because I think about it every day and dream about it at night. I heard your master bluffed like that yesterday, and I was also worried for him. Yes, he doesn't know what to do today. If you don’t have breakfast, go to the small study to find out, if you haven’t eaten, send it to him.”

Xiaoluan agreed, got up, washed up, and went.

After a while, he still came back and said, "I heard from Da'an'er, the master, that the master left early today and didn't leave a word. I'm afraid I still have to go to the yamen to hear the news."

Hearing this, Yulou could only nod her head and said, "Since it's ye, let's go to the house to say hello first, and when you come back, you can invite the girl from Hongyao to come in and discuss."

Xiaoluan agreed, and took care of Yulou to freshen up. Because something happened at home, it was not easy to dress up gorgeously, so she only wore homely clothes, and put a pearl hairpin obliquely on it.

The two went out and came to the door of the house. They saw Ruyi, the nurse outside, holding her brother and coaxing him to play. When they saw Sanniang, they hurried up to say hello.

The book implies that since Meng Yulou married into Ximen's family, she is really easy-going and courteous, and she cares about the old and the poor.

Ruyi greeted her, and then hugged Yueniang's child and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao also greeted the third mother."

Yulou laughed when she saw it, shook the child's little hand and said with a smile, "Big sister's brother has a name, I don't even know."

But I heard Wu Yueniang's voice in the room sneering: "The third sister is now the female Zhuge in the mansion, and she is busy discussing important matters with the master every day, how can she have the time to take care of such trivial matters..."

Yulou was shocked when she heard this. A few days ago, she said that Wu Yueniang had just given birth, and she was a little out of balance after giving birth.

Had to be careful, went into the inner room and said with a smile: "Eldest sister is joking, we can't bear it, this name is good, it was chosen by the master? As the saying goes, loyalty, filial piety and righteousness are the foundation of one's life. This child is named brother filial piety. , but it’s noble, and he will be a child studying in the future.”

As the saying goes, it's hard to hit a smiling person with a fist, so although Wu Yueniang wanted to fight against Yulou this time, seeing her so obedient, she didn't want to bully her too much in front of the girl, so she had to smile perfunctorily and say, "How could your cruel and short-lived master be so obedient?" In that idle time, now he heard that something bad happened to his in-laws, his daughter and son-in-law have defected. He is as busy as a headless chicken every day. It is the slave family who asks people to ask. He said that the name of the slave family is good, so let him use it. He has no time. My son came in to talk, and I heard that the eldest sister also went to rest in her third mother's room when she came back, so what are we, I'm afraid it's stained with blood, so why don't you come to my room."

Meng Yulou heard that Yueniang's words were full of guns and sticks, and she was different from the two of them when they were chatting with each other. He was a little puzzled. He wondered why she suddenly became aggressive when she raised a brother. A mother is more valuable than a child, but I misunderstood her in the past...

Thinking of this, I had no choice but to smooth things over and said: "Eldest sister was joking. Eldest sister and uncle arrived last night. I wanted to come in to see her, but I was afraid that my eldest sister had just raised her brother, and this baby would be dangerous. Kuiye came in to disturb the elder sister." My sister is resting, so she will live in my room for the time being. My uncle endured the whole night in the small study, and was busy cleaning up the house for them the next day, so there is no time. Since the eldest sister misses her daughter, I will wait for a while. Just ask your daughter and son-in-law to come and pay a visit.”
