Chapter 897

Ling Ruoyun just wanted to take care of his younger brother's family, but he didn't expect Xu Wu to be so cruel, tears streaming down his face.

Xiao Lian thought for a while and said: "Madam, forgive me for going overboard. I think the master has some considerations in not letting my uncle, madam, and a few younger cousins ​​live in the mansion."

Ling Ruoyun looked up at Xiao Lian and said, "What did you say?"

Xiao Lian said: "Madam, you are kind, but can you let Uncle and Madam live in the mansion for the rest of their lives?"

Ling Ruoyun wiped away her tears and said, "I just want them to stay in the mansion for a while, and let them move out after the wind has passed."

Xiao Lian said it very bluntly: "Madam, once they get used to the life in our mansion, it will be difficult for them to move out. Even if they move out, it will not be easy to adapt to the outside environment. Instead of this, why not Don't let them live in the mansion in the first place."

Ling Ruoyun sobbed, and said: "I understand the truth, but the children are so young, and there is no man in the family to support the house, so if they live outside, they will definitely be bullied." She felt sorry for the nephews and nieces.

Xiao Lian persuaded: "Ma'am, just take more care of her when the time comes." Although Madam is the housekeeper, the family is in charge of the master. The master doesn't want his uncle and wife to live in, and the wife can't go against the master's will no matter how hard she can bear it.

Ling Ruoyun asked Xiao Lian to bring in water, she cried so much that her make-up was all gone. After cleansing her face and reapplying her makeup, Ling Ruoyun also calmed down.

Seeing Ling Ruoyun sitting on the stool in a daze, Xiao Lian said, "Madam, don't think about it, it's useless to think about it."

Ling Ruoyun shook his head and said: "Just now I was too sad, I lost my sense of propriety for a while. The master is not afraid of things, nor is he the kind of person who is stingy and reluctant to give up money. With his temperament, he should not prevent younger siblings from living in the mansion with a few children for a while. .”

Xiao Lian asked: "Ma'am, what do you mean?"

Ling Ruoyun held the poplar comb tightly, and said in a cold voice: "Mr. Zhao, I'm afraid there is something wrong."

Xiao Lian didn't understand: "Ma'am, what's wrong with Uncle and Madam?" After finishing speaking, Xiao Lian's complexion turned pale: "Madam, what do you mean, Uncle's corruption and bribery are related to Uncle and Madam?"

Ling Ruoyun also hoped that this conjecture was wrong, but Xu Wu's attitude forced her to think more: "Besides this reason, I can't think of any other reason why the master is so strongly opposed to letting their mother and son come to the mansion. Stay for a while."

Xiao Lian thought for a while and said, "Madam, you can ask the master carefully when he comes back."

Originally it was Xu Wu's shift tonight, but he was worried that Ling Ruoyun changed shift with Xu Daniu. Back home, seeing that Ling Ruoyun was in a stable mood, he was relieved a lot.

Ling Ruoyun asked directly: "Master, is it related to Mrs. Zhao that Ruoyuan took bribes?" Her younger brother is not a money-loving person, but Ms. Zhao values ​​money very much.

Xu Wu was a little surprised, and nodded under Ling Ruoyun's gaze and said: "Yes. Half a year ago, Ling Ruoyuan tried a lawsuit for family property, and Zhao received three hundred taels of silver from one of the parties. She thought she was doing it secretly, but I don't want this matter to fall into the eyes of those who care..." Ling Ruoyuan was caught by others and could only be controlled by others.

Ling Ruoyun regretted hearing this: "If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have let them go outside."

Xu Wu's opinion is completely different: "If you don't stand upright, even if you don't release it, something will happen. The reason why I don't allow Mrs. Zhao and the others to live in the mansion is because I'm afraid that her living in the mansion will affect a few children."

Ling Ruoyun heard this and said: "If the master told me earlier, I would not dare to let her live in." Ruoyuan fell into this field because of her.

Xu Wu said: "Actually, although Mrs. Zhao was responsible for this incident, the fundamental problem still lies with him."

Ling Ruoyun smiled bitterly: "It's my fault,

I didn't teach him well, nor did I marry him a good wife. "Zhao's is Ling Ruoyun's favorite.

Xu Wu shook his head and said: "That's not what he said. If he had principles and a bottom line in his actions, how could he be influenced by a woman." It's like many people say that the prince is afraid of the princess and obeys the princess. is misinformation. In general matters, the prince will follow the concubine, but if it involves matters of principle, the prince will not give in half a step.

Ling Ruoyun smiled bitterly and said: "Master is right. If you want to blame Ruoyuan, you can blame Ruoyuan for not being able to control yourself. Just follow what the master said, buy them a small house, and give them some money to live." Zhao's like this, even if she has money, she doesn't want to give it. And she has her own home, so she can't forsake her own small home for the sake of her natal family.

It was also on this day that Yuxi received letters from Yunqing, Qihao and Zaozao. Among them, Qihao said a lot of things in the letter, including anecdotes from the military and some of his thoughts.

At night, Brother Yu asked: "Mother, I heard that Father and the others wrote a letter and came back. Mother, what did Father and Brother say in the letter?"

Yuxi smiled and said: "Your elder brother said that the feeling of riding a horse on the grassland is completely different from riding a horse on the school training ground." It's different.

Brother Rui felt very regretful: "It's a pity that we can't ride horses on the grassland with big brother." The feeling of riding a horse galloping in the wind must be very refreshing.

Yuxi smiled and said: "Don't worry, you are still young, and you will have plenty of opportunities in the future."

Brother Yu asked suspiciously: "Mother, why didn't father and elder brother write us a letter? Is the battle ahead very tense?"

Yuxi shook her head and said: "The battle hasn't started yet. Your father led the army to set off five days ago. It will take a while until the battle starts!" No, it can run without a trace overnight. That's why everyone didn't have high expectations for Yunqing to send troops to attack Beiyao.

Liu'er said: "Mother, I want to go to Daxing Temple to offer incense, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless my father's safety and success."

Brother You sneered: "If Bodhisattvas really have spirits, there would be no dead people in this world." Brother You was deeply influenced by Yu Xi and did not believe in Buddhism or Taoism.

Yuxi scolded Brother You: "Ayou, you don't have to believe in Buddhism, but you can't speak wild words."

Brother Yu let out an oh, but remained silent.

Turning her head, Yuxi said to Liu'er: "You are very happy to have such a sweetheart, but now there are mixed fish and dragons at Daxing Temple, so don't go there for now."

Niu Jingyi was escorted back to Pick City for execution, and all the family members of the Niu family were sold out by the government. Others involved in the case were also punished individually. This corruption case is officially over here.

It's not that no one has impeached Han Jianming, but Yuxi kept him out. Therefore, Niu Jingyi's case had no other impact except that Han Jianming suffered some criticism.

It was getting late, and Han Jianming was about to go to bed after a busy day, when Han Gao asked to see him.

Han Gao didn't come alone, but brought his son Han Xiaoyu with him. As soon as he entered the house, Han Gao took his son and knelt on the ground to apologize.

Han Jianming frowned and said, "What's the matter?" Han Gao was one of his most trusted confidants, and he was very cautious in his daily activities and would not cause trouble for him, so the problem most likely lies with Han Xiaoyu.

Han Gao looked at Han Xiaoyu, and said sharply, "Niety, why don't you hurry up and report what you have done to the master."

In fact, it was not Han Xiaoyu who did the wrong thing, but Brother Chang. Brother Chang fell in love with Niu Qinghe, Niu Jingyi's daughter, after meeting her. Knowing that Niu Qinghe was sold into the music workshop, he couldn't bear it, so he redeemed her and placed her outside.

Han Jianming's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "When did this happen?"

Han Xiaoyu lowered his head and said: "Three days ago, I redeemed the man and placed him in Zhuzi Lane. Tonight, my uncle wanted to go to Zhuzi Lane to visit Miss Niu. I was afraid that something might happen, so I gave up my idea and went back to the house." Han Xiaoyu When I returned home, Han Gao happened to be there too, seeing that his expression was not right, I asked a few questions, but I didn't expect that I would ask such an important matter.

Han Jianming was furious and went to Brother Chang's yard in person. At this time, brother Chang was still in the study.

No one was allowed to report, so Han Jianming went straight into the study. I saw Brother Chang staring at a picture of a lady on the table in a daze. The woman in the painting is Niu Qinghe.

Han Jianming held back the anger in his heart and asked, "When did you start thinking about this Niu Qinghe?"

Brother Chang turned pale with fright when he saw Han Jianming, he trembled and called out: "Father..." Han Jianming was very strict with Brother Chang, which made Chang brother very afraid of him.

Seeing him like this, Han Jianming couldn't control the anger in his heart anymore: "You are so courageous, you even sent someone to the music workshop to redeem someone, and even if you redeem someone, you dare to arrange outside." Room is no different.

Brother Chang didn't expect Han Jianming to know so soon: "Father, I just can't bear the heart of Niu Niu to fall into the dirty place of Lefang." It is better to die than to live.

Han Jianming sneered and said, "You will be sympathetic and cherish jade. But do you know that if this matter is known, not only the face of the Han family will be ruined, even the princess will be criticized." In addition, Brother Chang wants to marry a family It's hard to be close.

In fact, Han Jianming's words were a bit alarmist. Even if the news about Brother Chang's setting up of the outer room got out, Yuxi would not be involved at all.

Brother Chang is not an ignorant person, but he has his own persistence: "Father, I can't let her fall into the band. Otherwise, I can't feel at ease for the rest of my life."

Han Jianming's complexion was very ugly: "Who is she to you? What does it have to do with you if she falls into the band?"

Brother Chang looked up at Han Jianming, then lowered his head again: "Grandma told me everything."

Han Jianming didn't react for a while, and asked, "What did your grandmother tell you?"

Brother Chang said in a mosquito-like voice: "Grandmother said that father took a fancy to a girl from the Niu family and wanted to hire his son as his wife." If not, he would not have paid attention to Niu Qinghe.

Han Jianming was really angry and angry when he heard this, but he restrained his emotions and said: "At first, I had this idea, but later I found out that the girl from the Niu family was not suitable for you, so I gave up the idea, but I didn't expect that you actually I've been thinking about it all the time." His mother is really getting more and more confused as she gets older, and she talks nonsense in front of the child before the matter is settled, otherwise this incident would never happen.

Brother Chang lowered his head and said, "I know. Grandma told me. But...Father, I just don't want her to stay in that dirty place. I don't have any other ideas." , there may be a period of time in between. And he fell in love with Niu Qinghe during this time. But Brother Chang is also very clear that Niu Qinghe is now an official slave and has entered the music workshop, so he is not even qualified to be his concubine.

Han Jianming said: "You have no other ideas? Then why do you want to go to Zhuzi Lane to see Niu Qinghe in the afternoon?"

Brother Chang didn't expect Han Xiaoyu to sell him out: "Father, I just want to see how she is doing now?" Reason is one thing, emotion is another.

Han Jianming said blankly: "You let me down so much." As the heir, Brother Chang is really unqualified.

Brother Chang lowered his head and said nothing.

Han Jianming panicked when he saw this, how could he trust the Han family to him in the future with Brother Chang like this. Leave it to him, maybe the Han family will fall again in less than ten years.

Thinking of this, Han Jianming felt that the matter of succession marriage should be put on the agenda, and if he married a wife, he would be able to give birth to a son earlier. In this way, there is one more choice.

Putting these thoughts aside, Han Jianming said: "I will take care of Niu Qinghe's matter, and don't worry about it in the future. During this period of time, you also stay at home to study my homework." Brother Chang's Once the marriage is settled and the marriage is married, the heart will be at ease.

Brother Chang was a little worried, but he didn't have the guts to resist Han Jianming: "Yes."

After leaving Brother Chang's yard, Han Jianming went to the upper courtyard to find Mrs. Qiu, who was still asleep at this time.

Seeing Han Jianming, Qiu asked, "Minger, is there something urgent?"

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Mother, why are you still up so late? Didn't the doctor tell you to take good care of your body?"

Qiu shook her head and said, "If you go to bed too early, you won't be able to fall asleep. Why don't you just recite scriptures?"

After saying this, Qiu Shi asked: "Ming'er, did you encounter any embarrassing things? If you have something to say, don't hold it in your heart."

Han Jianming smiled wryly on purpose and said, "Mother, it's really inconvenient not to have a housewife at home." Since he planned to marry again, he would have to tell Qiu Shi sooner or later. But in the future, he is not going to tell Qiu Shi any important things.

Surprised and delighted, Qiu quickly asked, "Whose girl do you value?" She hoped that Han Jianming would have someone who knew the cold and the hot.

Han Jianming shook his head and said, "No! But at my age, as long as the other party is good-natured, mild-tempered and able to take care of the house, it's fine." No matter what, he didn't pick anything.

Qiu Shi doesn't think so, she can't be bad in appearance, talent, temperament, temperament, otherwise she will look down on her: "What are you talking about? Since you want to marry again, you must marry a good one." Although his son is young He is a little older, but he is in a high position. Only this point, what kind of daughter-in-law can't marry.

Han Jianming didn't argue with Qiu Shi, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll listen to you." However, he would not follow Qiu Shi's conditions. Otherwise, you may not be able to find a satisfactory one after three years of searching. (to be continued)
