016 good and bad
Hearing that Sun Jingsong was also in her mother-in-law's house, Lin Yarong's first thought was that Sun Er Shao was making bad again.
With a raised mouth, Lin Yarong had a plan in her heart, and then went into the room with her head raised.
But when I bypassed the three-fold kingfisher lotus screen and raised my eyes, I saw a strange woman in the room. At this time, she was lying in my mother-in-law's arms and couldn't help crying in a low voice. Sun Jingsong sat aside with a gloomy face, frowning slightly with an impatient look.
"Mother."
He came forward to say good. Before Lin Yarong could speak, her mother-in-law wiped her eyes and choked at the woman in her arms and said, "Liyun, this is your sister-in-law. Go and see the ceremony."
"Good sister-in-law!"
“......”
Lin Yarong was stunned. Where did this be a relative? Looking at my mother-in-law's look, is it Sun Jingbang's sister? Yes, she remembered that she had heard people mention it when she was in the palace, but it was also said that Sun Jingbang had never been close to his brothers and sisters because he was away all year round.
Although she was puzzled, Lin Yarong still responded: "Sister, you're welcome." Take the opportunity to look at the woman carefully. She is really beautiful. She looks about 18 or 19 years old. Her eyebrows are like Dai, her skin is like snow, her waist is graceful, and she is wearing a narrow-sleeved beard dress tied to her waist, which makes her look even more slender. Originally, I thought that Sun Jingsong was handsome enough. I didn't want to see this woman today. Lin Yarong could only sigh that the people of the Sun family were really president.
"She is Liyun, the second sister of Song Geer. She married to Moxi two years ago and returned to her house last night. Because it was too late, no one went to Qingyuan to send a message." My mother-in-law opened her mouth at the right time to avoid Lin Yarong's embarrassment.
Lin Yarong smiled and said, "It was my mistake, and my mother got up at night. Did your sister sleep well last night?
She slept late with Sun Jingbang last night. According to her mother-in-law, Sun Liyun may not have entered the house until after her son. But at that time, the gate was closed, and how did Sun Liyun enter Tiliang City? There was too much puzzle in his heart, but Lin Yarong didn't say anything.
"My sister-in-law was worried and lived in the original yard last night. Although she was a little tired, she slept well." Sun Liyun's voice was soft and soft. At this time, her face was as shy as rain and pear blossoms. If a man had seen such beauty, he would have been unable to hold on himself. Once again, I sighed that Sun Liyun is so beautiful.
Lin Yarong smiled and said, "I saw my sister for the first time today. If there is anything wrong, I hope my sister will not be blamed." Does Sun Jingbang know that Sun Liyun has returned to Sun's house? If he knew, why did he leave home early this morning?
Lin Yarong only felt that she was confused at this time and had too many things to understand, but when she saw her mother-in-law's face, Lin Yarong also knew that it was not easy for her to stay for a long time.
After talking for a while, Lin Yarong found an excuse and withdrew from her mother-in-law's house. Combined with the news she had heard before, Sun Liyun returned to her mother's house because her mother-in-law's family had a quarrel. As for the reason is that her husband wants to marry a concubine.
When it comes to marrying a concubine, Lin Yarong has some sympathy for Sun Liyun. She still remembers that on the first day she entered the door, her mother-in-law wanted to marry a concubine for Sun Jingbang. If it hadn't been for her status as a palace official, I'm afraid no one could change her mother-in-law's mind. Therefore, invisibly, Lin Yarong felt a little close to Sun Liyun.
In just one hour, Sun Jingbang returned to Qingyuan.
"Do you know that Liyun's sister returned home last night?" Because it was a little cold today, Lin Yarong waited for Sun Jingbang to take off the robe outside and specially found a robe for him to wear under his gown.
Sun Jingbang hummed, "Li Yun probably came back around when he was ugly. At that time, I didn't ask you to get up when I saw you sleeping soundly."
Lin Yarong frowned: "How did she get into the city so late?"
"Her husband is Wei Anjie, the governor of Moxi. Who dares not open the gate if she wants to enter the city?"
When listening to Sun Jingbang say this, his tone was a little helpless. Lin Yarong thought, "So did you go to the government office or the military garrison this morning?"
Sun Jingbang looked back at her and asked with great interest, "What did you say?"
Lin Yarong smiled and said, "If Liyun, the name of a lady, may not be able to enter the city of Tiliang alone, he must have taken the letter of Lord Wei, otherwise who dares to open the gate in the middle of the night? I'm afraid that the governor's government has been in a mess at this time. If Lord Ji knew your identity, it would be reasonable for Li Yun to return to his mother's home from Moxi. But few people in Tiliang City know that you are the Marquis of Zhenguo, so you went out of the house specially. You should have gone to the military garrison. The commander of Tiliang City garrison is your acquaintance.
Sun Jingbang praised with great interest: "You are smart enough to infer so many things based on Liyun's identity alone. So, guess again, is it a good thing or a bad thing for Li Yun to come back this time?
Lin Yarong asked, "Is there a prize in the guess?"
"Let's talk about it first. If it's right, it will naturally benefit you. But if it's wrong..."
"What if you guess wrong?" Lin Yarong looked at Sun Jingbang with a smile and asked.
Sun Jingbang's eyes slipped around her face and smiled but said nothing.
Lin Yarong did not ask. With Sun Jingbang's temperament, it is not easy to talk to her so easily. Can she still expect husband and wife to talk?
After thinking about it, she said, "It's a good thing and a bad thing for Li Yun to come back. The advantage is that Liyun is at home with her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law will no longer have time to do other things in the future. Even if someone talks about the rich building behind her back yesterday, it will not be long before no one will pay attention to it. As for the bad thing is that if Liyun really takes Lord Wei's letter, I'm afraid it won't be two days. Moxiwei's family will send people to lift Liangcheng, and then the family will have to toss around. And what I'm most worried about is Lord Zhizhou Ji. I'm afraid you can't hide your identity as the Marquis of the town.
Speaking of this, Lin Yarong was a little uneasy and looked at Sun Jingbang worriedly and stopped talking.
After taking over the hot tea she handed over, Sun Jingbang pondered for a moment and said, "It's not a shady identity, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to live a quiet life in the future. Liyun lives at home these days, and you take care of her.
Seeing that Sun Jingbang didn't say much, he should have had an idea in his heart. Hearing his advice, Lin Yarong responded one by one and didn't say more.
However, after a while, the housekeeper entered the green garden with a solemn look, saying that Lord Jijian and Lord Wu Yinwu visited.
Lin Yarong subconsciously looked sideways. Sun Jingbang was going to take a nap for a while. At this time, he was leaning at the head of the bed with an unchanged look on his face. Then he only heard him say in a low voice, "Who are you here to see?"
Lin Yarong's heart is strange. What does this mean? Before she thought about it, the housekeeper standing at the door said, "Lord Ji and Wu are here to see your wife."
No wonder Sun Jingbang asked like that. It turned out that he knew that he didn't come to see him, but...
Although Lin Yarong was shocked to hear that the two adults came to see her, she was also shocked at first, but after thinking about it carefully, I'm afraid that Sun Jingbang guessed something.
After such a peck, Lin Yarong had a clear mind and asked the housekeeper to greet the guests first. Then she turned her head and looked at Sun Jingbang and asked with a smile, "Doesn't you have anything to order?"
Looking at her, Sun Jingbang was slightly strange: "What do you think?"
"Obviously, those two adults are drunk and don't want to drink. It depends on when your husband is going to appear on the stage." To be clear, I came to see her, but a Zhizhou from the fifth grade and a fellow acquaintance from the sixth grade came to the door. Even if she was a celebrity in front of the queen in those years, how could she stand such a big gift when she came out of the palace and returned home?
"Since I came to see you, I'm afraid they can't confirm my identity for a while. If so, let's wait a few more days. Go to the front yard to greet the two adults first. If you ask about Liyun, just say you don't know.
"Good." After understanding what Sun Jingbang meant, Lin Yarong nodded, got up and changed into a bright brocade robe and went to the front yard.
In theory, Lin Yarong has married a wife, and no matter what her previous identity is, she should not show her face to meet strange men alone. But this time, since Ji Wu and the two can't determine the identity of Sun Jingbang, they can only inquire through the identity of "waiting" in her palace.
There has been an iron law since the founding of this dynasty. All maids must leave their names in the local government office after returning to the province, and palace officials are not allowed to move within five years after returning to their hometown. Lin Yarong's palace officials are equivalent to the second-grade officials of the foreign court. Even if they go home, they can enjoy 320 stones of salary, which is slightly higher than the annual salary of the five-grade officials of the foreign court. Therefore, from this regard, it is not rude for the two adults Ji Wu to come to visit Lin Yarong in Sun's mansion.
When he arrived at the main room, the housekeeper had already set up a bead curtain in the middle. Green Lan helped Lin Yarong sit in the first place, put the refreshments one by one, and then quietly retreated with the maid.
"I should have visited the two adults, but I didn't want to work hard for the two adults to come in person. The women are really scared!"
Lin Yarong opened his mouth first. Although the bead curtain in front of him covered the look on the faces of the two adults, the uneasiness on their faces could be faintly seen.
"Mrs. Sun is welcome." Zhizhou Ji Jiankai is a middle-aged man in his forties. He is not tall and slightly thin. His voice is low and slow when he speaks, giving people a sense of peace. After asking, Ji Jiankai hurriedly gave a wink to his Tongzhi Wu Yin.
Wu Yin was about 35 or 56 years old, and his figure was exactly the opposite of Ji Jiankai. He was slightly fat and had a general's belly. When he spoke, his face was smiling and he looked harmless. Wu Yin said, "Speaking of which, I have seen my wife at your majesty's beast banquet in 233. At that time, my wife was the first maid in the palace and was deeply loved by your majesty and the queen."
Lin Yarong was stunned and didn't expect Wu Yin to mention the old things, but when there were so many people at the beast banquet that day, she really couldn't remember seeing this commoner.
Wait, no, only officials above five-grade officials are qualified to participate in the Beast Banquet. Wu Yin is just a six-grade official. How can he go to the Beast Banquet and see her? Lin Yarong looked at Wu Yin puzzledly.
Maybe if he had known that Lin Yarong would be worried, Wu Yin then said, "At that time, I was a decision (from the seventh-grade official position) under General Liu in the South China Sea, so I had the opportunity to sit with the senior officials of this dynasty."
Hearing General Liu in the South China Sea, Lin Yarong remembered something. She asked, "That year, a large reef fish was offered to your majesty in the South China Sea. I heard General Liu mention that a capable man in his army set up a clever plan to catch giant strange fish. In this way, the capable person mentioned by General Liu on that day was Wu Tongzhi."
Wu Yin smiled and said, "Madam, don't listen to General Liu. The general has always been exaggerated. It's just my luck to catch that big reef fish alive."
Lin Yarong and Wu Yin said that they were happy, but they didn't expect that Green Lan suddenly came in and whispered in her ear, "Madam, it's not good. The old lady quarreled with the master for some reason. The second lady couldn't persuade her. She was eager to send me over and ask you to come over. Look at this..."
Oh, my God, can't her mother-in-law rest for a day?
Involuntarily, Lin Yarong suddenly sighed.
