Qiu Tong stood at the door holding a lamp, while Yang Mo gathered her cloak and looked out through the open door.
Ajiu was standing aside with her horse. There was snow on Zhou Chengling's cloak. Looking at it through the light, the snow was slowly drifting down in the wind. It was originally a very cold weather, but it made people feel peaceful.
Yang Mo couldn't remember the time when she stood in the heavy winter snow and didn't feel cold. She just stood like this stupidly. Therefore, love in the world is the most difficult thing to understand. Sometimes it feels ridiculous and ridiculous, and sometimes it doesn't feel cold.
It feels cute, no matter how long it takes, no one can see through it.
Don't know when it will come or when it will go.
The snow seems to be falling heavier and heavier, and the wind is blowing in. It is really not suitable to talk outside at this time.
Yang Mo felt her head heat up and said, "Come in and talk. You can go back and have a cup of hot tea."
Zhou Chengling shook his head, a smile appeared in his eyes, and his voice was as clear and sweet as ever, "I must abide by the rules set by my elders."
Yang Mo couldn't help laughing after hearing this, as if he really abides by the rules. He seems to be more upright than anyone else, but in fact his temper is like a wild horse, otherwise he wouldn't be running around with his beard stuck on.
.
Zhou Chengling said softly: "Go back, we will meet at the drug store tomorrow."
Yang Mo nodded. It was getting late. At this moment, Feng Deng seemed to be overwhelmed.
After agreeing like this, no one walked away first.
Let's go, let's go. She was afraid that the bright moon would reveal someone's innermost thoughts, so Yang Mo took a step back first. The old lady at the door seemed to be very smart and immediately stepped forward to close the door.
Qiu Tong stepped forward to adjust Yang Mo's cloak, but Yang Mo didn't hear the sound of horse hooves. If she walked away, there should be a sound.
Always unable to get through it, Yang Mo looked at the mother-in-law at the door.
It took the mother-in-law a long time to react, and she opened the door with a smile. As expected, Zhou Chengling was still standing in the bright white snow, as if he knew she would come back, and he just met her eyes, "I asked someone to prepare a food box, no.
Do you know if it’s already cold?”
I don’t know whether to call him smart or stupid, but preparing a food box at this time will naturally make it cool.
Yang Mo looked at her mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law hurriedly picked up the skirt and went to get it.
Yang Mo ordered, "Put down the food inside, put some heat in it and bring it back."
The mother-in-law responded and immediately went to make arrangements.
The food at home today was particularly rich. My aunt asked her to cook everything she liked. She also took this opportunity to offer flowers to Buddha. She wanted to thank him for making such careful arrangements, otherwise her father's case would not be resolved until what month and year.
Retrial.
The mother-in-law quickly brought the food box back, and Ajiu went to pick it up, but Zhou Chengling took it in his own hand.
Seeing Zhou Chengling take away the food box, Yang Mo remembered that she was still laughing at Zhou Chengling for being stupid. If she wasn't even stupider, what if the food was replaced with hot food? It was cold again before he got home.
This is really...
"The wind and snow may last all night, go back quickly!" Yang Mo urged again.
Somehow she just didn't want to leave. Looking at the wind lantern next to her made her feel very warm.
Just as Zhou Chengling was about to move, he suddenly thought of something, "Your disciple Qin Chong is still guarding the door."
Ever since the Wang Zhenting incident happened, Qin Chong and the others took turns keeping vigil in front of her house, unable to drive her away. Therefore, many people around her came to her door if they were sick at night.
In this weather, something will happen if it's freezing.
Zhou Chengling said: "I happen to live in a medicine shop, why don't I take him away with me?"
Yang Mo nodded, that was the best, "Why do you live in a drug store?"
Zhou Chengling smiled, "Because the house is under renovation, and the yard is not big. If we don't clean it up carefully, I'm afraid we won't be able to use it by then."
What she said made her feel uncomfortable.
Zhou Chengling was not very kind and deliberately made her embarrassed.
"I'm going back." Yang Mo picked up the wind lantern from Qiu Tong's hand, turned around and walked back to the yard.
This time, the mother-in-law waited until Yang Mo walked away before gently closing the door.
Zhou Chengling did not ride a horse, but walked back slowly in the wind and snow. When his feet landed on the ground, the snow crunched under his feet. Zhou Chengling had never thought that the sound of stepping on snow could be so pleasant.
…
Yang Mo had a good sleep, and when she got up the next day, she went straight to Aunt Lu's room.
Aunt Lu arranged for people to put Mrs. Tang away and asked Yang Mo to lie down on the kang, "Let's rest at home today and don't go to the medicine shop."
Yang Mo shook his head, "It's getting colder, and many people in Beijing have started giving out porridge. I thought it would be better to go to more free clinics to buy rice to give out."
Aunt Lu sighed, "I'm so busy every day, can't I have a day to rest?"
Yang Mo smiled and took Aunt Lu's hand, "Auntie and I will make arrangements together during the Chinese New Year."
After dinner, Yang Mo took a car to Baohetang.
As soon as Yang Mo left, the woman at the door came to report, "Auntie, a wife from the Qing family of Honglu Temple came to the door."
The wife of the Qing family of Honglu Temple must have come to see the eldest lady for medical treatment. Aunt Lu hurriedly said: "Go and tell the lady that our eldest lady has gone to the pharmacy. If you want to ask for a doctor, please go to Baohe Hall!" She said
It's not easy to meet guests with this status.
The mother-in-law responded and went out, but quickly turned around and said, "That Mrs. Lin said she was looking for my aunt."
Aunt Lu couldn't help but be stunned, why did she come to find her?
The mother-in-law whispered: "Auntie, how about inviting someone in?"
Only then did Aunt Lu come back to her senses, "Quick, please go to the main room to invite the guests." Seeing the mother-in-law going out, Aunt Lu looked at Cui's mother and said, "Call the family aunt too."
Mother Cui nodded.
Aunt Lu changed her clothes and hurried to the main room.
I saw a lady in her late forties, wearing a lotus-colored makeup and a floral-breasted gown, sitting in a chair, and the maid next to her was gathering the lotus green brocade and adding embellished flowers to her cloak.
The woman raised her head, with an auspicious hairpin on her bunted head. When she saw Aunt Lu, she immediately stood up with a smile, "Is this Miss Yang's biological mother?"
Aunt Lu stepped forward and saluted, and Mrs. Lin returned the salute: "I just wanted to let someone know... I came in a hurry. I hope Auntie won't take offense."
Aunt Lu immediately blushed, "Ma'am, what are you talking about?" How could she be polite to serious ladies?
While talking, Yang Mingshi entered the room.
Aunt Lu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yang Mingshi.
After the servants served tea and eight-treasure fruit plate, Mrs. Lin got back to her business and looked at Yang Mingshi and Aunt Lu sheepishly, "This is my first time as a lobbyist, and I don't know how to speak."
Aunt Lu was surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect that as soon as she handed over the words, a lobbyist would come to her door.
Mrs. Lin said: "Auntie, don't get me wrong. We just thought that my uncle was not from the capital, and we didn't know what was said there, so we came to check it out in advance. Don't think this is a clan. Our old lady said, you don't want to
Any worries will be taken care of."
Before getting married, both families would ask acquaintances to discuss the terms. Mrs. Lin's meaning had been made very clear.
How good is this? Aunt Lu didn't know what to say. She never thought that one day she would be able to say a word about the eldest lady's wedding.
Aunt Lu said after a long while: "I... can't make the decision, everything depends on my uncle... You know that my husband and wife left early..."
Mrs. Lin was more natural, "I have already submitted the notice and will go to Zhang's house tomorrow."
Aunt Lu didn't expect that things would be done in such a hurry.
Mrs. Lin saw something from Aunt Lu's expression, "We, the concubine, are anxious. Miss Yang is of a good age. I am afraid that there will be too many people coming to ask for her hand in marriage and she will miss her."
Mrs. Lin praised her daughter like this, and Aunt Lu also smiled on her face.
…
While the Yang family was talking, Mr. Chang heard about the Qiao family and went to Mrs. Chang's room with Mrs. Chang.
"That bitch Yang is so cunning. He actually said that the imperial court's IOU was taken from me. Just now Qiao Wenjing asked someone to ask me... I couldn't explain it clearly. This was clearly a trap for me to jump into.
." Mr. Chang's eyes widened with anger on his face.
Mrs. Chang looked at her son coldly, "I told you a long time ago that you can't give the accounts to the Yang family, but you just refused to listen." She covered her chest and coughed. She thought the Yang family would use the accounts as evidence.
But Wu didn't expect to say that the IOU was found in the ledger.
Mrs. Chang hurriedly stepped forward and rubbed Mrs. Chang's chest, "What should I do now?"
Master Chang said: "Qiao Wenjing is being interrogated by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I don't know if our family will be implicated." At this point, Master Chang showed fear on his face, "If... we are really being investigated... what should we do?"
?”
Before, he was afraid that Yang really wanted to take one million taels of silver, but now he was even more afraid that it would not be possible with just silver. "I've already asked people to take care of it..."
Mrs. Chang's face turned pale when she heard this, "We have no fault. If anything happens, it's the Qiao family. The master didn't interfere in the Yang family's case, so it can't really involve our family." At most, it's just a message to the Qiao family.
.
If something happened before, he could go to Qiao's house for help. Now, who should Qiao Wenjing rely on when he sees that he is about to go to jail?
It's over, it's over, it's over now, Mr. Chang feels that his body is so limp that he can't even lift up any strength.
Who would have thought that just one Yang family would cause such a commotion.
If he had known that Mrs. Yang would have married Yi Ning after entering the Chang family, Mr. Chang thought of this and stretched out his hand to point to Mrs. Chang, "It was all you. If you hadn't stopped me, Mrs. Yang would have become our daughter-in-law. And
How could there be these twists and turns?"
"You are the one who cried in front of me and said that Yang has no father and mother. I am afraid that it will harm Yi Ning's future in the future. You also asked me to talk to my mother and adopt Yang as my adopted daughter. If it weren't for your words, this would have been impossible.
How could the marriage be delayed?"
Mrs. Chang's eyes widened. She didn't expect that the master would blame her, "Master, I didn't stop me. Yang got seriously ill when she entered the door... Why did the master blame me? Besides, he wanted to marry Qiao."
It’s the master who gets married in our family.”
Who would have thought that with just one wrong move, he would end up where he is now, not only having to take out the Yang family's belongings, but he might also be implicated in the Yang family's case and lose his official position.
When Mr. Chang thought of this, he saw the steward coming in with an ugly look on his face, "Old madam, sir, madam, it's not good. Someone from Shuntian Mansion has said that they want to call the Fifth Master to talk."
Ask Yi Ning to talk.
What on earth is going on? Even the Yang family's case has nothing to do with Yi Ning.
Mr. Chang stood up and asked, "Did you tell me what happened?"
The steward stammered: "I just heard about... some fraud in the examination room..."
