My country, you can pinch it

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is like a calamity from luxury to frugality.

Marquis Yunyang, who hadn't worried about money for more than ten years, felt sleepless and tired day by day after shrinking his clothes and dieting for a few days.

On winter nights, there is no good charcoal fire supply, and the inferior ones not only have less heat, but are also dry and smokey. He tosses and turns in the cold night, and the next day he has a sore throat and discomfort all over his body.

On weekdays, he invited Shangfeng to drink and his colleagues to drink tea. He has always spent money generously, and now he dare not go again. He has to hide at home under the excuse of feeling unwell, but unfortunately he is not comfortable at home.

The tea he drank was second-class and sticky to the mouth, and three meals were eaten over and over again. He used to look down on the bird's nest and ginseng fresh food, and asked for money to buy it. As for the study... he rarely writes now. Good paper is not extravagant, and good ink and brushes are used less and less, which he is reluctant to bear.

In addition, the frugal Yang's face was full of resentment and sorrow, and he looked at him with weak and aggrieved eyes from time to time, even if he didn't say anything, it was enough for him to suffer physically and mentally.

After a few days, Marquis Yunyang couldn't take it anymore.

On a holiday, he appeared in the Songzhu Courtyard, but hesitated at the door for a long time, attracting strange and contemptuous gazes from the servants around him, and he still hasn't stepped in yet.

Wen Fu saw it in his eyes these days, so he persuaded: "Master Hou, go in quickly, I asked my wife for forgiveness earlier, and our life will be easier."

When Yunyanghou heard it, he immediately glared at him: "What nonsense, I just don't want to be as knowledgeable as her, and came here for the safety of the house, otherwise..."

"Yes, yes, your lord is a large number. When you meet your wife, please don't get carried away with emotion." Wen Fu sighed heavily in his heart. He was so stubborn that he was very worried that there would be another quarrel later.

Yunyang Hou flicked his robe and stepped in.

At this time, Fang Jinling was drinking the chicken soup that Shang Qingrong ordered to stew. It was full of ingredients, commonly known as medicinal food, a little salty with a strong herbal taste, which was quite weird.

Under Shang Qingrong's earnest gaze, he drank gracefully, taking sips and sips, he was comparable to a lady of every family, but in fact... a tough man.

Shang Qingrong's lips curled up when she saw this, her son's well-behaved and sensible made her feel very warm.

At this time, Qingye came in with a beautiful brocade box, Shang Qingrong opened it to have a look, nodded in satisfaction, the other party Jinling said: "Ling'er, do you like this?"

Fang Jinling put down the spoon, wiped the corner of his mouth with the handkerchief beside him, and asked curiously, "What is it?" He opened the box, and found an inkstone with a piece of Hui ink next to it.

"Zijin said that you have been studying hard recently, so mother gave you a set of inkstones, how about it?"

The inkstone was too heavy, so Fang Jinling took out the ink stick and took a closer look. There were vaguely three words of Li Yangui on it. The tentacles were as firm as jade, and the price might be expensive. Looking at the inkstone again, it was black with lines, exquisitely embossed, and the shape was simple. nice one.

Although he doesn't know much about the equipment of a scholar, since he wants to step into the ranks of this literati, he also likes it when he sees it, and he can't help asking: "Where did mother come from?"

Qing Ye replied: "I just sorted out my wife's dowry in the past few days, but I found that this set of dragon tail inkstone and Hui ink is gathering dust."

Fang Jinling nodded, so that's the case. At this moment, Suyun came in and said, "Madam, young master, Lord Hou is here."

As soon as the words fell, Yunyanghou walked in, and at this time Fang Jinling was gently putting back the Huimo in his hand.Marquis Yunyang swept his eyes away, and asked in surprise, "Li Guiyanmo?"

He took two quick steps, and when he reached Fang Jinling's side, he found that there was an inkstone besides Mo, "Longwei inkstone!"

Fang Jinling didn't understand the Four Treasures of the Study, but the Marquis of Yunyang knew it very well. Hearing the exclamation, it could be seen that they were rare and good things.

Holding the ink, Yunyanghou forgot the purpose of coming here today, and only looked at Shang Qingrong eagerly and asked: "Ma'am, where did you find this?"

Shang Qingrong didn't even look at him, but ordered: "Put it away, and send it to Ling'er."

"Yes." Qing Ye quickly took it from Yunyanghou's hand, put it lightly into the box and closed the lid, and immediately took it down.

"Hey..." Yunyang Hou looked at the box, then frowned and asked, "Is this for Ling'er?"

Fang Jinling glanced at him: "Dad thinks I'm unworthy?"

"You're still young, you haven't practiced your handwriting well, it's still too early to use these, why not..." Yunyang Hou's eyes showed anticipation, and everyone could understand the unfinished meaning.

Shang Qingrong looked at him with surprised eyes, not knowing why this person had such a thick face: "Could it be for you?"

There was a smile on Yunyanghou's face, he couldn't help puffing out his chest, and complimented: "I know that madam is the most gentle and considerate, and she wholeheartedly focuses on being a husband..."

However, a sneer interrupted him, "It's still light, don't dream too much, let alone give my son, even if I sink the fish in the tank, or even smash it and listen to it, I won't give it to you." , take a look in the mirror, are you worthy?"

After the words fell, Yunyanghou's smile suddenly froze on his face, turning blue and then white, and there seemed to be secret laughter coming from around him. He felt that Fang Jinling, who was drinking soup, seemed to be making fun of him with the maids around him.

Such embarrassment caused the veins on his forehead to pop up suddenly, his eyes were full of anger, he slapped his palm on the table, and shouted: "Shang Qingrong, don't bully others too much!"

"I'll return these words to you exactly, our mother and son are talking in a good manner, what are you doing here, to offend your appetite on purpose?" Shang Qingrong raised her brows, not giving in at all.

Fang Jinling couldn't drink this strange soup at first, but seeing Yunyang Hou felt it was even more difficult to swallow, and said with deep empathy: "I'm afraid I can't survive the life of careful planning, so I came to ask my mother for help. I said Hou Ye, If you want others to give you alms, you have to let go of your poor self-esteem first, and you can't be so angry with the benefactor, otherwise you will be kicked out if you don't say anything about it."

"You... Presumptuous! Is this what you should say to Dad? Are you educated yet?" Yunyanghou was so angry that his eyes turned red.

Fang Jinling replied with a smile: "What do you think is the fault of raising the godfather?"

Yunyanghou pointed at Fang Jinling, his fingers trembling.

Fang Jinling felt that if he continued to work hard, he would not be able to get his anger out of the cerebral thrombosis, so that he would avoid reconciliation, and it would be good to settle everything once and for all.

"Look at your face. You can't eat well, and you can't sleep well in this day without money. Ling'er still has some chicken soup. If you don't dislike it, I will honor you."

After drinking most of the bowl, Fang Jinling couldn't drink it anymore. He really wanted to give it to Marquis Yunyang, but unfortunately the latter seemed to be even more angry, with a trembling voice, as if squeezed out from between his teeth: "Hello, hello... ..."

His eyes fixed on Shang Qingrong, he was so angry that he suddenly calmed down and asked: "Do you still remember what you said?"

Shang lightly raised his eyebrows.

Yunyanghou clenched his fists: "Since you and I hate each other, let's make up!"

As soon as these words came out, Shang Qingrong and Fang Jinling immediately glanced at each other, and the room became quiet because of these words.

Shang Qingrong stood up slowly: "Is what you said true?"

In fact, Yunyanghou regretted it when he said it, but when he saw the surprised look of the mother and child, and the slightly dazed expression of the monk Qingrong, he immediately put his heart in his stomach and said with a sneer: "It's true, I can't afford a heartless and cruel woman like you!"

When he said this, he didn't really mean to break up with Shang Qing Rong En, but he was sure that the latter couldn't do without him.Whether it was the beating and scolding before, or controlling the money, using these methods is nothing more than Shang Qingrong's desire to force him to bow his head, and to be at her mercy from now on.

If he really didn't want this woman, how could he cry and beg him when he saw it?

Although Heli has a better reputation than Xiuqi, such a woman will still be judged by others. Yunyang Hou is sure that she will soften up. At that time, he will take good care of the mother and child, and let them know who is the right one. As the head of the family, he also cared too much about friendship and let them go!

Seeing that Shang Qingrong seemed speechless, he couldn't help feeling complacent, and asked straightforwardly: "Who doesn't have three wives and four concubines, and who doesn't have concubines? I've tolerated you for so many years. You go!"

"Choose a time."

Shang Qingrong's sudden utterance made Yunyang Hou stunned, he didn't seem to hear clearly, "What did you say?"

I saw Shang Qingrong's expression was indifferent, he stroked his sleeves gracefully, as if casually said: "Didn't you say that you want to make peace, then choose a time, call all the people in the clan, and then invite a witness to tell the truth about this matter." It's done."

After she finished speaking, she raised her head, with a slight smile on her face, as bright as spring flowers, and her clear eyes looked straight at Yunyang Hou: "How is it?"

Shang Qingrong's reaction was completely opposite to what Yunyanghou thought, so that he was stunned at this moment, and he didn't find his voice for a long time.

"Why, don't you dare?"

Obviously it is the simplest method of provoking generals, but under Shang Qingrong's slightly sarcastic gaze, Yunyang Hou suddenly became angry from embarrassment: "Whoever says not dare, make peace with Li!"

Shang Qingrong clapped his hands, "Okay, have backbone."

This anger made Yunyanghou even more furious: "Don't regret it!" He put down his cruel words, but he flicked his sleeves, and he left without saying a word.

Wen Fu at the door was pacing anxiously back and forth, wanting to go in and have a look, but Fu Xiang stared at him with piercing eyes. The maids who came with Shang Qingrong from Xiling Hou's Mansion were all skilled, Auntie, he can't afford it.

Finally, there was a sound at the door, and Yunyang Hou strode out angrily. Wen Fu saw this, his heart clicked, and he rushed to meet him: "Master Hou?"

Hou Yunyang's face was covered with frost, his eyes were full of anger, his cheeks were flushed, he was so angry that Wen Fu didn't dare to ask what happened.

I only heard Yunyang Hou say: "Send someone to the clan, Ping's wife will not lift up, just reconcile directly!"

The sound was so loud that almost the entire Songzhuyuan could hear it, and the servants all showed astonishment, and even forgot what they were doing.

And Wen Fu almost stared out his eyes, no, didn't he come to ask for forgiveness?Why did Lian and Li come out?

"Master Hou, don't be angry with Madam..."

Yunyanghou sneered: "This is not anger, but intolerable, she doesn't even know whose wife she is now! She has completely forgotten about being respectful and virtuous, since she is so capable, then don't stay in the Hou's mansion!" Gone aggressively.

Wen Fu didn't follow him, he felt that the sky was about to fall, he licked his old face and stood in front of Shang Qingrong, he wanted to persuade Fang Jinling, but he heard Fang Jinling said with a smile: "Uncle Wen Fu, my father just said, If you really want to make peace with him, you dare not."

"Young Master, you don't know, Master Hou is going to inform the clan!" Wen Fu was about to die of anxiety.

"Isn't telling you the same as not notifying you?" Shang Qingrong was surprisingly calm, and then disdainfully said, "He is just as stubborn as this."

This... His own Lord Hou is so underestimated, Wen Fu felt uncomfortable, he thought for a while and said: "Master Hou is naturally reluctant to part with his wife, but don't forget, there is also Aunt Yang, she is afraid that Master Hou would like to be so Do it, in case you get in the way... Madame, you know, Master Hou is so angry that he doesn't want to bow his head, if he is really angry, it will be irreparable!"

Fang Jinling touched his chin when he heard that, "Uncle Wen Fu is also right."

"The young master is really sensible."

Just after Wen Fu finished boasting, Fang Jinling gave Shang Qingrong a determined look: "Mother, in this regard, we have to trust this aunt's professional ability."

What is she capable of?Win over men, sow discord, pretend to be weak and wronged, secretly apply eye drops?Thinking of Yang Yingxue, Wen Fu could only think of these things, and really didn't understand what Fang Jinling meant.

Shang Qingrong nodded: "Indeed, these two are a perfect match."

Wen Fu was sent out in a few words, and the uneasiness in his heart expanded.

Both Fang Jinling and Shang Qingrong were too indifferent to this fact, as if they didn't care anymore.He didn't dare to think deeply, but just walked out of the gate of Songzhuyuan, looking at the gray top of his head, his mood became more and more depressed, as if he felt that the Hou's mansion would soon fall apart.

After Wen Fu left, Fang Jinling was slightly melancholy: "It's a pity, my father is a little timid."

Shang Qingrong listened, and couldn't help laughing: "At this juncture, no matter whether it's reconciliation or divorce, the essence is the same. Abandoning a wife for the sake of the outside world, and he is not stupid. Seeing that I am indifferent, he will only Find a step down by yourself."

If you really have this thought, you should ask Fang Jinling what to do so that you can make a decision.

"Fortunately, Daddy has Mrs. Yang by his side."

A concubine who is restless and gave birth to a son, what she wants to do most is to support her superiors. Since the Marquis of Yunyang proposed to reconcile and leave, it shows that he already has this idea.Yang always wanted to be the hostess of the Yunyang Hou Mansion in her dreams, she would not let go of this opportunity, and would only keep fighting, forcing him to lose his mind.

"We just wait for the other party to make a move." Fang Jinling smiled slightly.

However, this smile didn't last long. When she saw Nanny Lin coming in with another bowl of fragrant chicken soup, her face froze immediately, her big eyes opened slightly, as if she was asking: Isn't it finished? ?

Shang Qingrong took the chicken soup, blew it, and lovingly brought it to Fang Jinling, and said softly: "Doctor Hu said, your body is too weak to mend, but your vital energy is badly injured, so you have to mend it, so I opened it." After taking this medicinal recipe, I don’t repeat it every day, today is made by Nanny Lin herself, so let’s drink another bowl.”

Nanny Lin also laughed and said: "I heard that the nobles in the palace also nourish their bodies in this way. You have to drink the young master's soup. The chicken in it has been stewed, so you have to eat it."

Fang Jinling: "..."

"Since I'm going to Dingguo's mansion to celebrate my birthday, and my health is not good, how should I go?"

Fang Jinling was powerless to refute just a single word, and finally he said decisively with a strong man's wrist: "Then trouble Lin Nanny."

Can this damn body still recover?

The author has something to say:

Fang Jinling: How big a face is this that feels inseparable from him?Pu Xinnan is not as confident as him.

Shang Qingrong: My sin.
