ordinary people's house

Lin Yulan came out of the Habayashi Guard Yamen, visited the two shops as usual, and went back to the house to see the progress. Manager Xu did his best, and after opening the house, he asked the old craftsmen to draw a lot of blueprints. After choosing one, he sighed, "I think it's all about demolishing our main house."

"That's true. The house is rebuilt in the middle of the house, and it is still on the central axis. The keys of the other houses are in the way, so they have to be removed."

Xiao Yunlang sighed a little, but also had great expectations for the new house.

When Lin Yulan entered the alley, he saw an unfamiliar carriage in front of Zuo's house. At first he didn't pay attention, thinking that it might be a relative or friend of Zuo's family. He took a brief look in the house, and when he went out, he heard a soft voice: "Brother Lin."

Lin Yulan was stunned for a moment, took the horse by the hand, and the voice from the carriage continued: "Brother Lin, please get in the carriage and say something."

Lin Yulan now understood who it was, and he said politely: "Miss Xiao, it's already getting dark, if you don't go home now, your family will be worried, and my family is also waiting for me to go back."

Qinglan opened the curtain of the carriage, bit her lower lip, and said, "I only have a few words to tell you."

Lin Yulan originally wanted to refuse, but after this time, she thought that it would be troublesome for the girl to come to her again if she didn't give up, so she said, "Okay."

Qinglan was overjoyed, and Lin Yulan continued: "But girl, you are a woman, it's not good to stay in the same carriage with a big man like me, why don't you go to a teahouse for a ride."

"……it is good."

Lin Yulan rode in front, Qinglan's carriage followed, and sat down in the private room on the second floor of the teahouse. The waiter brought tea, and Lin Yulan said: "Young lady, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"I..." Qinglan looked at him, blushing, and said, "The first time I saw you was two years ago, when there was a heavy snowfall in the twelfth lunar month..."

Lin Yulan: "..." He looked at the sky outside, thinking that if he didn't go back now, Yun Lang wouldn't be worried, would he?

Seeing that Lin Yulan didn't speak, Qinglan said: "Later when I knew about those things, I felt that the world was unfair. You were implicated by your elder brother, and now you are like ordinary people." Qinglan couldn't help thinking, if she had married Lin Yulan back then , it is inevitable that the family will marry a big house and dozens of servants. Even now, they can still live a luxurious life. The craftsmen in Nanluoxiang come and go, it is extremely chaotic, and there are merchants' houses all around.

Lin Yulan sighed: "Girl, you are Yunlang's younger sister. I will listen to you calling me big brother, but I don't understand why you think so. The Lin family and I are both prosperous and wealthy, and I am living a very miserable life now." Well, it's not as wronged as you imagined."

Qinglan was stunned for a moment, and Lin Yulan said calmly: "With the style of the Xiao family, it's not right for the girl to go out to see me alone. I have a good life, and the girl thinks about what to do and what not to do in the future."

Qinglan's face quickly turned red, she looked at Lin Yulan in disbelief and said, "But, don't all men in the world love to hug left and right?"

Lin Yulan's gaze sank all of a sudden, Qing Lan was taken aback, Lin Yulan said: "Where did you hear these words?"

"I... my father is. My father has two concubines, and my elder brother also has girls in his house. My mother and sister-in-law are in charge of them."

Lin Yulan said calmly: "Men are not the same in the world. I only want to be with Yunlang in this life. The Xiao family has never treated me harshly. If there is no Xiao family, I would be dead."

Qinglan's tears fell down, and Lin Yulan said: "I've finished talking, girl, you can do it yourself."

Qinglan covered her eyes with a handkerchief, choked up and said, "But I... I'm just afraid that you will be wronged."

Lin Yulan thought helplessly: After talking about this, why does she still feel that I have been wronged?He stopped in his footsteps, turned around and said, "Girl, in fact, whether I suffer or not has nothing to do with you. I live with Yun Lang, no matter how hard it is, it's up to the two of us. We can stay together It's my luck that he has a baby now and we have become three people, a family of three."

Qing Lan suddenly understood that no matter what she thought, Brother Yun and Brother Lin were the same family, and she... couldn't get involved.

Lin Yulan said again: "Girl, please take care of yourself."

As soon as Lin Yulan came back to the house, he felt the atmosphere was weird. He went back to see Xiao Yunlang first. Wen'er was waiting outside. When he saw him coming back, he ran back to the house nervously. Xiao Yunlang was sitting on a chair eating cakes. He heard that he came back Yes, put down the food.

Lin Yulan didn't know the reason, and said with a smile: "Hasn't the kitchen delivered food yet?"

Xiao Yunlang glanced at him and said nothing.

Lin Yulan worried: "What's wrong? Are you feeling sick again?"

Xiao Yunlang didn't want to talk, and looked down at the book.

"This light is a bit dim, it hurts your eyes, why don't you ask people to turn on more lights?"

Xiao Yunlang put down the book and said, "Bring me the food." He sat listlessly on the chair, Lin Yulan felt a little distressed, and walked over to touch Xiao Yunlang's forehead.

"I'm fine!" Xiao Yunlang patted his hand away.

Lin Yulan was stunned for a moment, he was a little guilty, wondering if Xiao Yunlang knew about Qinglan going to see him, just now he decided not to talk about it, so as not to make Xiao Yunlang think wildly again, "Yunlang, I..."

Taozi brought up the glazed walnuts first, and Xiao Yunlang said angrily when he saw the walnuts: "I don't want to eat such sweet things!"

Lin Yulan hurriedly said: "Okay, don't eat, I will eat later, okay?"

Xiao Yunlang said: "You are not allowed to eat!"

Lin Yulan immediately agreed: "I won't eat it either, I'll take it out and throw it away."

Xiao Yunlang gained a lot of weight these days, and his face became rounder. When he was angry, his cheeks puffed up, and his cheeks were puffy. Lin Yulan reached out to touch his face, and said in a good-tempered manner: "Is there something wrong? I have seen the doctor. Is it?"

Xiao Yunlang lowered his head and ignored him.

Lin Yulan waved her hand and asked someone to bring down a small plate of glazed walnuts, saying: "Look, there are still a lot to eat. If you don't like it, you can ask the kitchen to make it."

"……never mind."

Lin Yulan smiled, "I'll bring you what you want to eat."

Xiao Yunlang glanced at the table casually, and said, "Bring me that pickled radish stick, and scoop up a bowl of white rice."

"Today's bone broth looks good."

"greasy."

"What about this stewed fish?"

"fishy."

Lin Yulan put some light side dishes on the plate, and put the radish that Xiao Yunlang asked for on top. Xiao Yunlang ate the rice with his head down. Lin Yulan finally noticed something was wrong. He glanced at Wen'er who was standing on the side. On the other side, also silent, Lin Yulan looked away, didn't ask anything, just ate in silence.After Xiao Yunlang finished eating a bowl of rice, Lin Yulan also put down his chopsticks. After thinking for a while, he said directly, "Qinglan came to see me today."

Xiao Yunlang frowned, thinking dissatisfiedly why this matter came together today, Lin Yulan said: "I have already made it clear to her that I have nothing to do with her no matter what, and she will never come to me again gone."

Xiao Yunlang was silent for a while, then said calmly: "Today, there is another person who has long wanted to serve you."

"Ok?"

Xiao Yun picked up a bowl to drink soup, Lin Yulan looked at the people around, and asked doubtfully, "Is there anything else I don't know?"

"Didn't you notice that there was one person missing in the room?"

Lin Yulan looked around again, and said, "Looks like a girl is missing."

Xiao Yunlang nodded, "Yes."

"...What's wrong?" Lin Yulan had a bad premonition in her heart.

Xiao Yunlang put the small bowl heavily on the table, and said displeasedly: "You know what I heard today? Taozi said that a virtuous person like me should have taken concubines for you, otherwise I would have become a wicked person. What do you think? So endearing!"

Lin Yulan was about to die from a headache, she frowned and said, "I don't know about this."

Xiao Yunlang said in a low voice: "I know you don't know, if you had this heart, I would have refused to let you in."

Lin Yulan laughed, rubbed his face helplessly, and said, "Then why are you angry? What other people think is their business and has nothing to do with us."

"But... I just don't understand. It would be fine if we were still in the Marquis' Mansion. Now we are both without officials and titles, and we are still temporarily living in my father's house. Others still can't see our peace and insist on looking for Something comes out!"

Lin Yulan said: "But no matter what others think, I don't have any romantic thoughts. The two of us live together. Today I went to see our house. The main house has been built. After a while, I need you to repair the garden and pool by yourself. Tried it."

"……Um."

After the rain cleared, Lin Yulan took Xiao Yunlang out for a walk, and met Xiao Mulang and Liu Liner who were walking hand in hand in the garden. Liu Liner shouted from a distance: "I heard something from your side today, but my mother didn't allow it." I asked, what happened?"

Xiao Yunlang smiled and said, "It's all right now."

Liu Lin'er didn't ask any more questions, and ran over to look at his belly with a smile. Xiao Yunlang was used to it, and showed him openly. Afterwards, two groups of people went to greet his parents. Xiao Yunlang also smiled and said: "Our family can be regarded as It's getting more lively, the second brother got married, and Xiao Ling'er is getting bigger and bigger, when she can run around, it will be even more lively."

Liu Lin'er couldn't help but said: "Then Yunlang, don't leave, okay, I gave birth to a baby in the mansion, and then I didn't leave."

Xiao Yunlang pursed his lower lip and said: "We will go back after all, but I will come back to live often. When our house is repaired, I will reserve a room for you, and you will often live there."

"it is good."

On the third day after marriage, Xiao Mulang accompanied Liu Lin'er home, and Lin Yulan also carefully waited on Xiao Yunlang to go home and look at the house. After getting off the car, Xiao Yunlang saw that he was nervous, and kept saying, "I don't think it's nothing, you don't have to be so careful."

Lin Yulan nodded, still supporting Xiao Yunlang to walk carefully, Xiao Yunlang stood outside the gate, and said with a smile: "In a few days, please ask father to write 'Lin House'."

"Ah."

Even if the two houses are merged into one, this place is only a quarter of the size of the original Hou Mansion, but Xiao Yunlang thinks it is enough, so they can no longer live there.

Manager Xu and Xiao Yunlang pointed to the location of the garden, Xiao Yunlang said with a smile: "In the future, I will plant some fruits and vegetables to eat."

Manager Xu smiled, and took Xiao Yunlang to see the main courtyard again. The house was separated into three entrances. There was a row of sheds at the back of the main courtyard, which could be used as warehouses. There were also two large urns in front of the two side rooms.There is a verandah next to the vertical flower gate at the second entrance of the house. Several strange rocks are placed, and there is a place beside the stones. A few willows will be planted in the coming year.

Xiao Yunlang was very satisfied, and said to Guanshi Xu: "I don't know how long it will take to repair it?"

Manager Xu made a rough estimate and said, "It's going to be a new year at least."

Xiao Yunlang nodded, and asked Lin Yulan to prepare some silver for the craftsmen.

After the two left, Xiao Yunlang said: "I don't like to go out now, since I'm all out, let's go see my grandmother, after the second cousin and the emperor are going to get married in the twelfth lunar month, I will see you less in the future." With that, Xiao Yunlang's tone dropped.

Lin Yulan comforted him and said: "Even the emperor often comes out of the palace, not to mention the second cousin, our house is repaired, and we have to invite the second cousin to play."

Xiao Yunlang smiled and nodded.
