It snowed heavily again in the middle of the night, and people who got up in the morning opened the door to see that the world was pure and white. After taking a breath, it turned into fog in the cold air, and rubbed their hands to start a new day.

He Bai woke up early in the morning and continued to play wildly with Ning'er in the yard, Ming Lanying was woken up by the two people's hearty laughter.

Drowsily half-opening his eyes, he felt the warmth in the bed. Was it strange that Mrs. Tang was so warm last night?

She raised her hand to touch it, but she touched another person's warm skin. She was so scared that she pushed it out. The person didn't push, but she woke up.

Ye Juelu opened his eyes slightly, saw that she woke up and didn't let go, but hugged her tighter, "It's still early, nothing to do today, my lady should sleep for a while."

Ming Lanying was stunned, and the hot palm on her waist made her whole body turn red, "Why are you here! Get down!"

Ye Juelu didn't move, and after a good night's sleep, his handsome face was flushed with warmth, and the two's black hair was tangled together on the pillow, not as cold as usual, but a little soft, The thin lips moved twice, "Last night, the lady acted like a baby and said it was cold, so my husband naturally stayed to warm the bed for the lady."

Ming Lanying's memory suddenly came back, she was not drunk last night, she was just distracted and alcohol was on her mind, she was a little unresponsive and confused, seeing Ye Juelu was there, she felt that he was very warm, let him stay, it was her I opened my mouth!Feeling ashamed, Ming Lanying had no choice but to cover her face and pretend to be dead.

They are a couple in name, and they slept together on the same kang when they were in the frontier fortress. There is no need to be pretentious now, but they are too close now.

The temperature of the people around her still made her feel like a cooked shrimp, so she buried herself in the quilt and said in a muffled voice, "It's dawn, you should wake up, this morning you will have chicken soup wontons and egg pancakes, let the kitchen prepare them."

Ye Juelu replied lazily, with soft fragrance in his arms, he didn't want to get up so early.

Ming Lanying rubbed her itchy ears. The man's deep and magnetic voice when he woke up in the morning was as sweet as a silky smooth cello, which made people's heart tremble.

Ming Lanying waited for a long while, but the big palm on her waist still showed no sign of withdrawing, so she couldn't help pinching a piece of flesh on the back of her hand to distance herself.

"Let go, get up."

She pinched a piece of skin on the back of her hand cruelly, but Ye Juelu didn't feel much pain. She squeezed her arm tightly, buried her head in the quilt and took a deep breath, suppressing the restlessness in her heart before letting go.

"Okay, get up."

Ye Juelu got up to get dressed, and saw that there was a layer of snow outside, because He Bai and Ning'er wanted to play, and the servants didn't shovel it, fearing that they would fall to her later, he turned his head and said, "The snow hasn't been shoveled outside yet, you Sleeping for a while."

Ming Lanying was still bored in the quilt and didn't come out, so she told him to leave quickly, Ye Juelu smiled softly.The emperor was right, if she didn't hate him, she would have a chance.

He Bai and Ning Er made four big snowmen, clapping their hands and appreciating them, when they turned their heads and saw Ye Jue Lv coming out of Ming Lan Ying's room with a happy face.

He Bai was taken aback, pointed at Ye Juelu in surprise, then pointed at the room, opened his mouth wide and couldn't hold back a word for a long time.

Ye Juelu passed by and kicked her, "Shovel off the excess snow. Your sister-in-law will get up to make breakfast later. She is slippery in the snow. If you fall, be careful that you won't have breakfast in the future."

He Bai let out a cry, and hurried to find a shovel to shovel the snow. Ning'er was puzzled why she reacted so strongly when she saw her father come out of mother's house.

He Bai was shoveling the snow while smiling obscenely, "You are still young and don't understand, this is a symbol of your father and mother's good relationship. Since you came to the capital, since when did your parents sleep in the same room?"

Ning'er suddenly realized that he had asked Ming Lanying why she had to sleep in a separate room before, and Ming Lanying had fooled him that the bed was too small, so he took it seriously, as expected, it was his father who made his mother unhappy!But coax it now!

Ning'er shook her head regretfully, "It's a pity that Ning'er has grown up and can't sleep with her parents anymore."

He Bai rubbed his little head, "Ning'er is about to grow up, and next year when you grow up, I will teach you our ancestral boxing!"

"Ok!"

Ming Lanying pretended to be dead in the room for a long time before she dressed and washed as usual, as if she was a white girl and put on a thermostatic stove, it was not a big problem.

When Ming Lanying was cooking, the cooks in the mansion were temporarily on vacation. The family rolled up their sleeves and gathered together to make wontons for breakfast. Cookie Fruit.

After breakfast, Ye Juelu wanted to go to the palace to discuss some New Year matters with the emperor, Ming Lanying asked him to drop by and call the golden eagle to send a letter.

At noon, the Golden Eagle King came late, "Woman, what's the big deal about calling me here?"

Ming Lanying rolled up a letter and tied it on its claws, "Go to the frontier to send a letter to Ming Langtao, Ming Langtao still remember? The one from the prefect."

The golden eagle waved its paw, "Of course I remember. Is this letter important? I still want to see Chunfen. I heard that you mortals are about to celebrate the New Year. I want to pay New Year's greetings to Chunfen."

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows and looked at it jokingly, "Okay, I'll teach you how to write Chunfen's name. Go back and tell the emperor that this is your partner, and the emperor will let you go."

The Golden Eagle King nodded, he couldn't recognize the characters, but imitation was not a problem, Ming Lanying taught it to press it out with his claws stroke by stroke, and the Golden Eagle King flew back to the palace happily when he was almost done imitating.

Ming Lanying hurriedly shouted: "Send the letter first and then go to see your Chunfen!"

The golden eagle whistled to show that he knew.

He Bai heard the call of the golden eagle, and poked his head out, "Sister-in-law, is the golden eagle here?"

Ming Lanying stretched her waist and exclaimed what love is, "Yes, it has to ask the emperor for a few days off to visit its partner in a neighboring country. It's not easy to be in a long-distance relationship."

"Huh? What is a long-distance relationship?"

Ming Lanying explained a few words to He Bai, and He Bai learned a new word, and excitedly ran to the military camp to share with his brothers.

Taiyi is usually elusive, unless Ye Juelu or Ming Lanying call him, otherwise Hebai can't find anyone in the mansion when he looks around.

Ming Lanying was about to go to the school where Ning'er was studying, but Wang Guanshi hurried to find her with a pile of account books and name books.

"Wait a minute, ma'am, it's almost the end of the new year. Here are the accounts of the mansion this year, please have a look at them; Post, Madam please decide; this is the arrangement and matters of the New Year, Madam please decide, and these..."

Ming Lanying stared blankly at the pile of ledgers that suddenly appeared on the tea table, feeling faintly dizzy, and resisted pushing them away.

"Steward Wang, what are you doing showing me all of a sudden?"

Steward Wang respectfully bowed and bowed, "This is Madam's housekeeping right. Before Madam came, I took care of the young one temporarily. Now Madam is here, but the Lord ordered Madam to work hard on weekdays. I couldn't bear Madam's fatigue, so half a year Just watch it once."

Ming Lanying propped her forehead and sighed, "Steward Wang has taken care of things very well, you can continue to take care of it, don't show me, my wife trusts you."

Steward Wang was filled with gratitude immediately, and knelt down with a plop, "Young lady, thank you for your appreciation! But my little ability is limited, and some important matters still need to be decided by my wife, so please take a look at them."

Seeing that she couldn't escape, Ming Lanying had no choice but to pick up the account book and resign herself to working an overtime day.

After crossing out a few unnecessary expenses, I found that the profits of the few shops that Manager Wang bought were quite good. By the way, he boasted a few words. Manager Wang humbly reviewed and introspected, and made up his mind to ensure that they will do better and better.

This kind of vigor pierced Ming Lanying's heart. With such an active and hard-working steward in the house, she, the half head of the family, was a little too lazy.

After carefully reading the account books, there is no problem. I looked at the list of personnel in the mansion. All the servants in the mansion signed life-long death contracts. From the name, age, place of origin, where is the ability, the number of people in the family, and the graves of the ancestors. It is clearly written everywhere, there are no more than a hundred ICUs in the huge mansion, and each of them is used to the best of its ability, and there is no one more, which can be regarded as the extreme search.

Originally, five or six servants were arranged for each of the masters, but these masters didn't like to be served by others, so they were all dismissed, reducing the already scarce number of servants by a dozen.

The mansion is big, there are not many servants, and the masters also like to be quiet and have few things to do. There is no better job than this. The servants in the mansion are also carefully selected, and they keep their own place, which makes Ming Lanying very satisfied.

"I've worked hard this year too. Everyone will be rewarded with two months of monthly silver, and they will take turns to rest for seven days during the Chinese New Year. There must be no one to take care of the house." Ming Lanying closed the list and looked at the honest and shrewd Steward Wang, " You have also worked hard, you have to work hard during the Chinese New Year to take care of it, and you will be rewarded with three months of monthly silver."

"It's not hard work. Being able to work in the Commander's Mansion is a blessing that I have cultivated for several lifetimes. I would like to thank my wife for them!"

Ming Lanying patted the charter booklet for the Chinese New Year, "For the Chinese New Year, just follow the above. As for these greeting posts, push them if you can, and send some suitable gifts in return. Your father has a special status. I haven't been in contact with anyone before, and there is no need to cater to it now, after all, when doing things in front of the emperor, you have to avoid suspicion."

"Yes, little one wrote it down."

Steward Wang bowed to salute, and hurried away with a pile of account books.

Ming Lanying dangled her feet and admired the snow while waiting for the New Year. Ye Juelu was busy with the New Year’s affairs in the capital these days, and was arrested by the emperor as a young man, because Mr. Ming was punished to shut up and think about his mistakes. Scattered over Ye Juelu's head, he was obviously only a third-rank military officer, but he was doing the work of a first-rank prime minister. Everyone in the court was not surprised.

I wrote to Tang Ning a month ago, saying that I would come back for the Chinese New Year, and I should be in the capital soon, and I would visit her during the Chinese New Year. In the letter, I said that I wanted to eat the dishes she cooked by herself.

As soon as the golden carving king arrived at the palace, he wrote the word Chunfen in front of the emperor, but the emperor still didn't understand the ghostly symbol, or the queen beside him understood the traces of the strokes. She was very satisfied, the emperor agreed amusedly, and asked him to bring his partner back here to celebrate the new year together earlier.

Just when Ming Lanying thought that she could celebrate the New Year with peace of mind this year, the news that Xiao San brought back from the frontier made her shudder.

The more she read the two letters, the more frightened she became. The Golden Eagle King met Xiaosan when he arrived at the frontier, and asked Xiaosan to wait for Ming Langtao to write a reply and bring them back together, and then he flew to a neighboring country to find Chunfen.

One letter was written by Imperial Physician Zhao, and he was relieved after reading the persuasion letters written by Ming Lanying and Ye Juelv, but the villagers still got a little news, and every now and then someone brought a matchmaker to the door to propose a marriage, it was all stinky The crooked melon and cracked dates on the face, if Doctor Zhao is not in good health now, and can lift a crutch to beat people, he will definitely be kicked to the west by his legs a few times.

What's more, a while ago, when Dongxia was feeding the lambs in the evening, a group of hooligans took advantage of the two steps, trying to take advantage of the opportunity to bully Dongxia.

Imperial Physician Zhao did not let Dong Xia go out during those two days, and Meng Huaisu asked Meng Huaisu to take care of the lamb and chicken cubs next door.

Later, Ming Lanying's letter to Ming Langtao arrived, and Ming Langtao also learned about it from Meng Huaisu. He was so frightened that he sent four housekeepers to guard the grandparents and grandchildren of Zhao's family on the spot, and asked Meng Huaisu to take people to arrest that The hooligans came back and were severely punished. They were locked in the magistrate's prison and had their tongues pulled out.

Ming Langtao entrusted the grandparents of the Zhao family to Meng Huaisu temporarily with a serious face, "The grandparents of the Zhao family are people that Ye Juelu and Ming Lanying value, so you must take good care of them. If something happens to those two, I will wait for you." Don't be the magistrate for so long, Ming Lanying will definitely peel you and me first."

"...The subordinate understands."

Meng Huaisu didn't know what was written in Ming Lanying's letter to Ming Langtao, but seeing Ming Langtao's nervous and frightened appearance, it shouldn't be a good thing.

The second letter was written by Ming Langtao. He sincerely wrote down the whole process and the result. The two men and two women who were sent to see the nursing home were also quick-witted and strict-spoken, so she didn't have to worry. , He also dealt with the matchmakers in the village.

One thing is, Dong Xia seemed to have been frightened a lot. After returning home, she hadn't left the house for three days. Imperial Physician Zhao was worried and kept trying to enlighten her, but only heard Dong Xia's crying.

Ming Langtao's letter knew a little more than Imperial Physician Zhao knew. Meng Huaisu only found out when he heard a cry when he was passing by a grove. In the inner garment, there were a few sparrows that had been knocked out next to them. Four or five hooligans pressed their hands, and some of their feet pressed their hands on a little girl who was helpless.

Fortunately, Meng Huaisu arrived in time and rescued Dongxia before her bottom skirt fell, but the stimulation to Dongxia was still not small.

Meng Huaisu sent her back home, and Dongxia locked herself in the house in a daze for three days. If not for the cleverness of two little squirrels, who found out that she was trying to hang herself and scratched the cloth in time, there would be no more Zhao in this world. It's winter and summer.

The more Ming Lanying thought about it, the more afraid she became, and she was worried, and wanted Hebai to go to the frontier fortress, but it was too far away, and it was going to be summer every time she came back, so she wished she could fly back now.

Ye Juelu couldn't see her anxious look, so he forcibly hugged her comfortingly, "With Ming Langtao here, he will make proper arrangements, and with Imperial Physician Zhao here, Dongxia is also a strong child, nothing will happen again, don't panic. "

Ming Lanying held his arm tightly, shaking her lips and said: "Why don't I panic, this is a desperate and terrible thing for anyone, if Meng Huai hadn't arrived in time, Dongxia would have bitten her tongue and committed suicide on the spot Yes! That child has her own stubbornness. If such a big incident happened, I’m afraid she’d be on the verge of death that very day. Fortunately, the little squirrel was clever and rescued her in time. Those scumbags!"

Ye Juelu hugged her tightly, and slapped her palms from the back of her head to her back, "It's okay, Dongxia is fine now, with the little squirrel and Mr. Zhao here, they will all look at her. Dongxia is still a little girl." Good boy, will be strong."

Ming Lanying buried herself in his arms, and said in a muffled voice, "It's too difficult. Dongxia knows that this hopeless darkness will always linger in her heart. Once this matter spreads in the village, she will Being pointed at by the villagers, her grandfather would be stabbed in the back, and he would have no hope of living..."

Ye Juelu hugged her tightly, "No, no third person will know about this matter, I will let Ming Langtao deal with it, don't worry, I'm here."
