Lie down and eat melon in the protagonist group

Chapter 26: Gluttony 1
What a handsome young man!
Ling Dang secretly praised.

Who is he?
Ling Huai slightly pressed down the umbrella brim, hiding the self-respect that emerged in his eyes.

The fish is hooked.

"I am the Ning family in Jichangqu Town, Ganzhou City. I am on the third line. I am a well-known person with the courtesy name Xianqian. On behalf of the Ning family, I would like to send my New Year greetings to all the young masters and girls."

Ning Fu, dressed in a snow-covered green robe, stood at the foot of the steps and saluted with his hands raised. He immediately raised his hand towards the carriage, his eyebrows as elegant as bamboo, "It's cold and the ground is freezing. If you don't mind, please get in and sit in the carriage."

Ling Cen clasped his hands on his chest and said, "Oh, Master Guanyin showed his true spirit and assigned a good boy to come to my house to show mercy. No, thank you, we are not familiar with each other."

"Previously, my mother acted too hastily and acted carelessly, which made you all move here with a lot of travel and travel, which caused a rift between the two families. It is really my mother's fault. Today, I would like to apologize to you on my mother's behalf. I'm sorry." Ning Fu bowed again. He bowed his hand and said, "The Ling family has suffered such an unreasonable disaster. In the final analysis, it was caused by the unintentional mistakes of the Ning family. I deeply apologize for this."

He frowned slightly and said sincerely: "I came here this time just to make up for my mistakes. I kindly ask you all to move to Ning's house to stay temporarily. When you find a new home that you want, it will not be too late to move in."

A red plum oil-paper umbrella floated in at the entrance of the alley, and Mrs. Chuuai held the umbrella. Ling Jing was covered under the oil umbrella. The alley was deep, and looking out, it looked like a stain on the white paper from a plate of paintings.

"Third sister." Ling Huai turned his face and called out.

After hearing this, Ling Cen immediately turned around, shouted loudly, and raised his arms in the air.

Ling Jing walked to the door, and Ling An hurried over and threw her into his arms. She hugged him tightly and warmed her up for a while, then glanced sideways at Ning Fu and asked, "Where did you come from?"

Ning Fu was about to salute her in return, but Ling Huai spoke first, "Third Young Master Ning."

"That's right." Ning Fu agreed with a smile.

Ling Jing said: "It's unfortunate that I came here. We don't have a place to entertain you right now. I apologize for any inconvenience."

She then turned around and looked at the people waiting at the door of her home, "Let's go."

"Third Miss, please stop." Ning Fu hurriedly called out to her, "If you don't mind, you can go to Ning's house to stay."

Ling Jing held Ling An's hand and looked back with a smile, "Do you mind."

Ning Fu stood there, watching the group of people hold umbrellas together and slowly float out of the alley. The white snowy road was dazzling, and he squinted his eyes slightly.

The car curtain opened, and the mother-in-law got out of the car to hold an umbrella for him, "Third Young Master, you haven't recovered from your illness yet. Come back to the car to warm yourself up."

Ning Fu leaned into the curtain, and Mrs. Ning Er was also sitting in the car.

"It's not a fuel-efficient lamp." Mrs. Ning Er took off Ning Fu's snow-stained outer cloak and put on a new one, "I just picked up the bad habits of the countryside. It's a good idea not to go, so as not to ruin the clean land. "

Ning Fu supported Tang Po, "Miss Ling, there's still no news at all?"

Mrs. Ning Er frowned, shook her head while holding the handkerchief, sighed gloomily, and said: "Put her aside for now. The Chamber of Commerce is closed now, and she is not here, which is convenient for us. The second shopkeeper of Fusong Restaurant is a ruthless person. If you are greedy for money, you will not be offended if you are not easy to get along with. First, you should comply with his wishes and stabilize the person, and then wait for the prince to leave Yuzhou and then slowly start to pursue him."

Ning Fu frowned, "I looked at the account book that was found by the Ling family. I don't know if I'm overly worried or if there is something wrong. I always suspect that there are leaks in the amount of food and medicinal materials recorded in the account."

The carriage swung Mrs. Ning Er's earrings back and forth, and she said: "It's normal that the number is wrong. It was simply detained by several other shopkeepers in the chamber of commerce. A prostitute, a newborn calf, can she be more cunning than those old foxes?" "

The Ling family went to an ordinary inn and asked for three herringbone rooms, divided between men and women.

The two wives and maids crowded into one room, Ling Jing and Ling Dang took Ling An to live in the same room, and Ling Huai and Ling Cen pushed Li Guanqi into the next door.

Ling Dang looked at the back of Ling Jing's hands and saw that her fingers were like peeling onions and her nails were bright and intact. Knowing that she had not endured hardship in prison, she put her heart in her throat back into her stomach.

"I told you I'm fine." Ling Jing smiled and pinched her cheek. She looked up and saw that Ling Dang's head was pure and clean, without even a single jade bead. She frowned on the spot, "Why do you look like this? Where's the jewelry? Robbed it?"

Ling Dang wiped the snack crumbs from the corner of Ling An's mouth and said, "I kept them in the makeup box because I was afraid of attracting people's attention."

Ling Jing felt distressed and stroked Ling Dang's black hair, "I hope A Dang can live a more willful life."

Ling Dang was a little embarrassed, lowered his head and said: "I usually make you worry a lot."

"Where is the makeup box?" Ling Jing shook her head helplessly and put down a strand of hair in her hand, "Take it out and start tomorrow, and I will dress you up with my own hands."

"No, no, no." Ling Dang waved his hands repeatedly and grabbed Ling Jing, who was about to go through her package. "Third sister, I really don't need it. I'm not suitable for wearing gold and silver."

"What are you afraid of? Is it possible that there are still people who dare to rob in the street?" Ling Jing sneered, "Who dares? I chopped him up and fed him to the dogs. If the eldest sister is not here, do you really think that our Ling family is easy to bully?"

"It's not delicious, feed it to the dog." Ling An joined in the fun, holding the snack, "I want the dog."

Ling Jing tapped his forehead, "If the dog follows you, you will starve to death."

The inn is not a good place to be crowded with people.

Early the next morning, Ling Jing took Mrs. Chuuai out of the inn to find another apartment.

Ling Dang accompanied Ling An in the room to look at the copybooks, while Mrs. Zhang Dong and Kui Qing went out to buy clothes.

After a while, Ling Huai knocked on the door.

"Why are you here?" Ling Dang opened the door and let him in. "What is Acen doing?"

"Feed Gu." Ling Huai handed her a wooden box, and at a glance he saw that she had painted her eyebrows and put rouge on her eyes, and her head was covered with pearls and jade, which were bright and moving. His eyes followed the luster of the pearls and jade, "She looks good today. "

"Third sister insisted on putting makeup on me." Ling Dang held the box and put it on the counter, taking a sip of lipstick. He stared at her with shame, and she lowered her face in embarrassment, opened the box, and found a box full of gold and silver jewelry.

"You, where did you come from?" Ling Dang was almost blinded by the dazzling gold and silver.

Ling Huai leaned over to teach Ling An how to copy, and said casually: "I bought it when I saw it, but I didn't have the right time to give it to you at home, so I saved it over time."

She knew he meant well, but the moment Ling Dang saw the jewelry, she had the tacky thought that she could use it to pawn a lot of money.

Ling Huai then said: "Our family is not short of money, so A Dang doesn't need to worry too much."

Lingdang flipped down the lid and buttoned it tightly, "You gave me so many good things at once, and I couldn't find anything suitable to give back to you for a while. I..."

Cannot be collected.

"If you really feel sorry for me," Ling Huai interrupted her smoothly, "just make me another fan."

"But..." She is really good at her craftsmanship.

"I've picked out the fan pendant." Ling Huai hooked up the jasper fan pendant from the rope, walked up to her, found her hand, and placed the fan pendant in her palm, "Is that okay?"

"Okay, okay." Lingdang agreed bravely.

He suddenly stretched out his hand to explore the corners of her lips and wiped them lightly with his fingertips, just like a dragonfly touching water, and it was gone at the first touch.

"Kouzhi," Ling Huai put his hands behind his back, "crossed the line."

"Ah, really? Haha, it's true, haha." Ling Dang quickly wiped it with her hands, looked down at the red lipstick and smiled, her eyes flashed slightly, and her cheeks gradually became rosy, which was even worse than the rouge on her face. More gorgeous.

Yaoshou!
She, a middle-aged lady who has read countless articles, was actually made red-faced by a little kid!

Ah ah ah, she can't use this brain anymore!

Something is growing in my head! The door opened and closed, and Ling Huai exited the room.

He took two steps to the next room, suddenly stamped his feet, raised the hand he had just wiped off his lipstick, and there was a touch of red on his fingertips. He put his lips aside, a smile lingering on his eyebrows like a spring breeze, and his eyes suddenly shimmered.

The new house is located in the east of the city. It has an irregular courtyard and is surrounded by rows of houses.

In the alley in front of the door, young children are running happily, chasing and fighting, and the sound of children's voices is heard. The young lady is wearing a blouse and Wu Nong is softly greeting the children. In the meantime, it was full of fireworks.

Ling Dang touched the table with his fingertips, a layer of dust stained his hands, and he had to clean the house again.

"It's hard to find a house during the Chinese New Year, so I chose this place after choosing a lot." Ling Jing twisted the rag, and the color of the water in the basin she had just changed became darker again, "The people living here are all ordinary people, and it's quite lively. It's just that it's been a long time." It was unoccupied and had a layer of dust, making it difficult to clean.”

"I like it here." Ling Cen grabbed a rag and jumped up and down with bright eyes. "Although the house is small, our family lives in the same courtyard. We can see it every morning when we open the door. We no longer have to go through the corridor and find you through the door. Talking is so troublesome! Now it’s like we live in the country. I like this!”

Ling Jing glanced at him, wiped the tables and chairs and muttered to him: "Hurry up and do your work. If your house is not clean, we will see how you sleep tonight."

"Then I'll go to my sister's room and squeeze in." Ling Cen finished his words and hurried away.

"You are so beautiful." Ling Jing put her hands on her hips and laughed, "I'll send you out to join the beggars!"

It took several days of cleaning before it was completely new.

Ling Dang chased Ling Cen and ran around the garden. Passing by the kitchen, he saw Ling Jing and the maid-in-law rolled up their sleeves and busy, so they changed their way to the kitchen to take a look.

"Why do you make so many pastries?" Ling Dang pointed at the number of plates placed on the table. There were no less than fifty plates. "Xiao Qi can't eat so much in one meal."

"Visit the neighbors and send them to the neighbors." Ling Jing took a large suitcase and put it in it. "In the past, big families closed their doors and lived their own wealthy lives. Now, ordinary people open their homes and visit. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. They have to move around and socialize."

Ling Cen was lying at the door and his head popped up, "Third sister, can you take me with you if you are visiting?"

Ling Jing laid down the grid and gave him a cold look, "You stay at home peacefully."

Ling Jing led Mrs. Chuahua out and started to greet Daoji from door to door. Ling Cen and Ling Dang stood at the gate and looked out.

Ling An moved a stool and sat at the door. Li Guanqi followed closely behind him, turning his wheelchair to stop on the threshold. They all tilted their heads and looked at Ling Jing and her neighbor, smiling and chatting about their daily life.

"What are you doing by crowding the door?" Ling Huai held the book and moved closer.

"There are big dogs." Ling An pointed.

"Huh?" Everyone turned and looked in the direction of his finger.

A big black dog was brought out from the door next door. It was fat and strong, and its fur was shiny and smooth.

The man holding the dog was dark and strong, and even taller, with his head almost touching the door beam. Wearing a black robe from the government office, with a sign from the Inspection Department hanging on his waist, he was quite handsome with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but because he was carelessly leaning against the door, there was a gangster air between his brows.

"The new one?" The man kicked the grinning black dog and raised his chin at Ling Jing, who was visiting a neighbor in the alley. "Who is she?"

"Who are you?" Ling Cen looked wary and had a bad look on his face.

"Family." Ling Dang looked at this person who was angry and angry. He was not a good person and had no good intentions.

"Both names are Ling?" The man scratched his chin.

"Dare I ask your name?" Ling Huai asked calmly.

"My surname is Yang, and my single name is Gan." Yang Gan grinned, his white teeth dazzling his eyes, "We have met before, and I recognize you. You are Ling Jing's younger brother."

Ling Dang tugged on Ling Huai's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Who is it?"

Ling Huai said: "The gatekeeper."

Yang Gan coughed, took off his waist badge and showed it to them. Pointing to the three big characters engraved on the plaque, he said, "Inspection Department, do you know these three characters? The gatekeeper, can you speak?" "

He looked at Ling An again and saw Ling An throwing a snack to the big black dog. Yang Gan stared at Ling An without blinking, frowning and asked Ling Huai: "How did he get here?"

Ling Cen answered with a smile: "He came from his mother's womb."

Yang Gan was very angry on the spot, "Hey, are you just playing with me here? Believe it or not, I'm going to let my dog ​​bite you."

Ling Cen kindly reminded him, "Your dog doesn't seem to be doing well."

As soon as the sound fell, the black dog let out a dry chirp, then foamed at the mouth, his tongue drooped, his eyes rolled up, and his limbs lay limply on the ground motionless.

"General?!" Yang Gan picked up the dog's head and shouted and shook it, "What happened to you?? You were fine just now?! Wake up, wake up!"

Several people at the door glanced at Ling Cen, who had nothing to do with them, and then glanced at Ling An, who had become an accomplice in a daze. They all looked away in unison, looking at Yang Gan who was shouting hoarsely with some sympathy.

Ling Huai said coldly, "Just die."

Ling Cen then added, "A dead dog won't bite."

Ling Huai said solemnly: "It is not ruled out that the stubborn disease will recur."

Ling Cen pretended to be serious and nodded in agreement: "It's best to send him to the doctor as soon as possible. I have medicine at home that can cure all diseases. The price is one thousand taels. Uncle Yang, do you want it?"

Ling Dang: "..." Are you two trying to rip off people here?

Yang Gan didn't have time to talk to them, so he hurriedly picked up the dying black dog and rushed back to the house.

Seeing this, Ling Cen spread his hands and said, "He doesn't want it."

Ling Huai answered slowly, "What a pity."

Several people stood at the door holding their breath and listened intently to what was going on next door. Ling Jing led Mrs. Chuuai to visit next door, glanced at them and said, "Why are you blocking the door? Isn't it freezing?"

Ling Huai smiled with unclear meaning, "It's quite lively."

Ling An pointed to the next door and said, "The dog is dead."

Hearing this, Mrs. Chuuai spat on the ground: "Bah, bah, bah, it's unlucky to die in the first month of the year. Young master, please don't say it again next time."

Ling Jing knocked on the door knocker next door, and a shout came from inside: "Who is it?! Are you blind and didn't you see something happened at home?!"

Ling Jing frowned slightly, feeling that the voice sounded familiar. She still smiled gently and said, "I'm really sorry, I just moved in next door."

Before he finished speaking, Yang Gan rushed to the door like a gust of wind, opened the door with both hands, grinned his white teeth and said, "What a coincidence, we meet again."

Ling Jing bowed and saluted, "Inspector Yang, you're fine."

Yang Gan stretched out his hand to help her, but when he saw her standing up, he suddenly took it back. He coughed into his mouth, straightened his back, and said in a solemn voice with a serious face: "I wonder what Miss Ling is doing?"

Ling Jing held out a plate of snacks and said, "It's a small thought, but it's not respectful. Please accept it with Inspector Yang's approval. I'll have to rely on your help in the future."
