Lie down and eat melon in the protagonist group

Chapter 45 Changji 2
The Ling family was waiting outside the gate, eagerly awaiting their return home.

As soon as they got off the carriage, Fu'an rushed forward. Lingdang didn't expect that Fu'an had gained a lot of weight and was knocked back by him.

"Fourth sister!"

Thanks to Ling Huai acting as a wall of flesh, Ling Dang didn't hit the car's head. She rubbed Fu An's chubby cheeks and laughed at him mercilessly, "Xiao Qi, you really should lose weight."

Ling Cen hooked his arm around Ling Huai's neck and almost put most of his body weight on Ling Huai's shoulders and neck, "I've been waiting for you two for a long time, why did you come here? Try my newly learned twisting technique."

There was a big height difference between the two brothers. Ling Cen held Ling Huai tightly, making him unable to walk. Ling Huai pushed Ling Cen aside and leaned towards his face, saying, "If you don't want to lie down at the gate, let go."

"You can escape on your own if you can." Ling Cen pestered him.

Ling Huai couldn't get away and sighed helplessly. When he raised his eyes, he saw Ling Jing being supported by her mother-in-law, Mother Yang, stepping into the hall. He glanced at Ling Jing and said hello to Mother Yang, "Aunt Yang."

Today's Ling Jing is not as exquisitely dressed as before, with a little makeup, a few hairpins, loose clothes, flat soles, and graceful and peaceful eyebrows.

Her current state was something Ling Huai had seen in his previous life, Ling Dang. A Dang was pregnant at the first pulse, and her smiles and smiles were different from usual ones, with a unique gentleness lingering throughout her body.

Ling Huai lowered his eyes and glanced at Ling Jing's abdomen, and he immediately understood.

"Third Sister..." Ling Dang vaguely felt that Ling Jing was impressed by her. He looked back and forth at Ling Jing and then at Mother Yang who protected her like a baby. A bold guess came to his mind and he blurted out immediately. "You have it?"

"Yeah." Ling Jing nodded and smiled softly.

Ling Cen dismissed Ling Huai and answered with a smile: "Fourth sister has good eyesight, it's been almost two months. I'm an uncle!"

Thinking of Yang Gan's dissolute and dissolute manner, and Ling Jing's uncompromising action, Ling Dang immediately felt that it was not surprising that they got pregnant within a few months of their marriage.

As soon as he returned home, Ling Dang approached Ling Cen and fought with his bare hands in Ji Ji's yard.

Ling Huai stood under the eaves corridor, with Ji Shi standing beside him. Ling Huai said: "The third brother-in-law was born tall, and the fetus in the third sister's belly will not be small. Please worry about paying more attention to the food of the third sister, and then let the eldest sister take the third sister back." Take care of the baby at home, lie down less and move around more. The fetus cannot be raised too big and it will be difficult to give birth. Find more midwives to come to your home to serve you personally."

"I don't care." Ji Zai looked at him sideways, "The fifth young master is very knowledgeable."

Ling Huai smiled and said nothing. He really couldn't be said to be knowledgeable, just because he had experienced it himself.

When Ah Dang was pregnant in his previous life, his uncle Qin Qiu once mentioned that when his biological mother was pregnant with him, her body was petite and the fetus in her belly was too big, which almost made it difficult to give birth.

Qin Qiu was lying on the roof, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and said in a rough voice: "Girls from the south are as charming as water, which makes men from the north dream. My mother lived in Huansha, Huai'an, and my father was young and frivolous. , I fell in love with her at first sight when I was traveling. Later, when the war broke out between the north and the south, my father marched and invaded the southern country. He rescued a girl in a small village in the southern country. The girl's name was Yueniang, who was the girl from Huansha in Huai'an. , she later became my mother."

"When my mother gave birth to me, it was difficult to give birth because the fetus in her belly was too big. The fetus was saved and she turned into a crescent moon. My father turned gray all night long. He coaxed me since I was a child, saying that he was angry with me and turned gray. . My father was partial to his daughter, and my sister and Ji refused to marry her for three years. Unexpectedly, once she caught the eye of the emperor, a small red sedan chair was carried into the high wall of the palace garden. She was always doting on her, but she was still as indifferent as water, never arguing. Although we are robbed, we still cannot escape the struggle between power and power. In just a few years, another crescent moon has appeared."

"The first grade of junior high school is my mother, and the second grade of junior high school is my sister. They are both the moon, and we are the sun. In the early morning light, we can see the sun and the moon at the same time, facing east and west. When the sun gets higher and higher, the moon is hard to find."

Qin Qiu said to him: "Girls from the southern country are like the moon in the sky. They look like the people in front of you, but they are like the moon in the mirror and the moon in a dream. Qihuai, the land in the northern region is barren and cannot support those people who are like water and the moon. You can take care of yourself." "

It can be said to be a prophecy.

Ling Huai looked at Ling Dang fighting in the courtyard from a distance. At this time, she stepped on the ground and made a circle. However, she saw yellow leaves gradually flying. She stood firmly in the circle with her skirt flying.

Ling Cen retracted his palms, flashed his white teeth, and said with a smile: "Fourth sister, you lose. You have gained a lot of weight because of your beautiful clothes and fine food. You must be unfamiliar."

The old lady didn't let her dance with the stick, so she could only go to the racecourse to relax her muscles and bones every day. After a few months, her fists and feet were indeed a lot rusty. She refused to accept it and said: "Are you coming to race horses?"

"If you don't come, you won't come." Ling Cen was so proud that his nostrils were turned up in the sky. He slowly stretched out his index finger and waved it towards her, "You can't beat me in horse racing. There is an assessment in the Palace School of riding and archery. I have always won the first prize, so with you The riding skills used to relieve boredom are different, so I advise you not to humiliate yourself."

The whole family gathered around the table, chatting and laughing after lunch.

Ling Huai approached Ling Jing alone and asked about recent events at home.

"How many times have the Ning family been here in total?" Ling Huai asked her.

"I sent greeting cards to my house many times, but never met once. However, I blocked the eldest sister several times in private, and wanted to talk about cooperation." Ling Jing embroidered a baby hat, "By the way, before that, Mr. Ning The wife I married in Quzhen, Jichang, died of illness not long ago."

"Sickness?" Ling Huai folded his fan, "Do you know what kind of illness you have? The Ning family will not marry a sick and weak wife."

Ling Jing slowly pulled out the needle and thread, "The funeral was done in a hurry, and the funeral was not stopped. It was carried up the mountain that night."

Ling Huai played with the fan, opening and closing it, covering and revealing the words on the fan. Things about the Ning family became complicated and confusing. He thought for a long time and couldn't figure it out. He asked, "Did this happen in the last life?"

Ling Jing frowned and thought carefully, "Not long after Ning San became an official, he married Xie Lu's second daughter, Xie Zhi. When chatting with her, I only heard that there was a maid in the family who carried out the marriage, and there was no news about anything. Dead wife.”

Ling Huai stood up, walked back and forth, and said, "Last year, the Ning family issued a pursuit order for Li Guanqi, and we caught him that night. Soon, it was reported that Ning San was seriously ill, and the Ning family was busy looking for medical treatment for him. Let’s stop looking for medicine. But for more than a year, we haven’t heard any news about Ning San’s recovery. Instead, he lost his wife and even held a funeral in a hurry. Do you think there was anything happening in this that we don’t know about?”

Ling Jing stopped her sewing and thought forward carefully, "The Ning family was anxious to ask the eldest sister to celebrate the wedding, and Ning San was once said to not be alive until sixteen years old. In the year of the wedding, Ning San was fifteen years old. It was time There are not many days left, so this is the reason for the unexpected surprise."

"The eldest sister ran away and found a replacement." Ling Huai recalled the first time he met Ning San in this life, his physical condition at that time. His face was paler, his energy was high, and he didn't look like a dying person. "Is the blessing really so effective?"

The two looked at each other.

Ling Huai chuckled: "I would rather believe that some magic elixir was used."

Ling Jing frowned: "What kind of elixir is so evil? Does it have to cost people's lives to use it?"

Ling Huai stepped out and said, "Just ask Acen."

When I found Ling Cen, he was crowding in the foyer to watch the excitement. Ling Dang beside him was holding a plate of melon seeds and peanuts, watching with gusto. The door of Ling's house was blocked by servants, and the woman's shrill voice could be heard amidst the shouting. Ling Qiong and Ji had been faintly seen standing side by side on the steps outside the door.

"What happened?" Ling Huai asked.

Ling Cen replied: "There is a woman who claims to be the unmarried wife of the second brother. She holds an engagement token and is clamoring to see the second brother."

Ling Jing happened to come over. When she heard this, she was startled and stepped forward.

Ling Huai looked at her sideways, and the two of them looked at each other, with a flash of surprise in their eyes.

Second sister-in-law.

Zheng Ji's blacksmith shop in Qu Town, Jichang, Zheng Bingsu, the only daughter of Zheng blacksmith, has a bold personality, informality, and amazing arm strength. She can hold a spoon and knock iron and make knives.

"Sister, please invite her in quickly." Ling Jing shouted out, and the servants surrounding the foyer heard her voice and unanimously made way.

Zheng Bingsu, who was facing the door, immediately saw Ling Jing. Her anxious and impatient expression suddenly turned into surprise. Carrying a sack of belongings, she ran through the door in three steps and called enthusiastically: "Three girls!"

Zheng Bingsu was born strong, different from ordinary girls nowadays. She had a complexion like wheat. She was dressed in coarse linen clothes and an apron. She had a scimitar on her waist. She wore a rose red scarf on her head. Her face was round and she had a deep dimple when she smiled. Full of blessings.

"Sister Zheng." Ling Jing let her pull her around and look at her.

"We haven't seen each other for a few years. The three girls have grown into big girls. I almost didn't recognize them." Zheng Bingsu suddenly paused, "Oh, she's still pregnant? How many months has it been? Ouch, who is so lucky to marry I have three girls in my family."

Zheng Bing has a warm nature, treats people sincerely, and is very familiar with him. He regards the Ling family as his own from the bottom of his heart. After looking at Ling Jing, he grabbed Ling Dang who was protecting Ling Jing.

He looked up and down for a while, praising incessantly, "Who is this girl? She can't be a fourth girl, right? How did she raise her? How did she become so handsome all of a sudden? When we were together before, everyone said she was my father. The adopted sister."

Ling Cen on the side saw this and was about to run away, but before he had time, Zhu Luo Ying quickly grabbed him by the collar, turned Ling Cen's body with one hand, took a look, and immediately laughed loudly, "Such a monkey, a beauty mark on the corner of his eye, it's definitely... You can’t be wrong, Sixth Boy. I’m still keeping the snake you gave me. There was famine and plague in the past few years, so I couldn’t bear to eat it.”

She glanced at Ling Huai who was behind Ling Dang, raised her hand and patted his shoulder. Her hand was so strong that Ling Huai's shoulders squinted. She said cheerfully: "The five boys have grown so tall, they are almost grown up." He's so handsome, so girls like him. How good are we in studying? Where's Xiao Qi? Why didn't you see him? He was still a baby when I saw him, he must be four years old now, right?"

Zheng Bingsu looked inside and finally asked the most important question, "Where is your second brother? Isn't he at home?"

Ling Cen rubbed his sore throat from being pulled by Zheng Bingsu's collar and said, "Second brother is fighting outside. Sister Zheng, why don't I remember that you were engaged to my second brother? Didn't you realize that my family is rich? Are you looking for me?" Come and blackmail us?"

Zhu Luoying raised her eyebrows, put her hands on her hips, and immediately raised her voice and said, "How could I blackmail you? I had a hard time convincing my father to agree to this marriage, and your second brother even took my wallet and told me that I would let Aunt Li go when I got home. I came here to propose marriage, but unexpectedly something happened to Aunt Li, and the wedding was delayed like this."

Her eyes flashed slightly, as if she had tears. She neatly raised her hand to wipe away the sweat, but she wiped it from her nose to her forehead, wiping away her tears. She waved her hand and continued: "I have been waiting for him at home for three years, and he has been unable to wait, so I just went around After asking about your family's whereabouts, I found out that you had moved to Yuzhou, so I immediately packed up my bags and rushed there. Who knew you had moved again? After asking around a few times, I found out that you had moved to the capital. No, I rented a stove. , rushed here overnight.”

Hearing what she said, Ling Dang was surprised and admired.

In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient and the carriages and horses were exhausted. She, an eighteen-year-old girl, traveled all the way from a remote country to countless states, counties, and counties all by herself. She had to endure many bumps and winds and weather before she could reach Kyoto safely. She had to save so much just by taking action. How much courage it took to set off, and how much perseverance it took to persist.

Ling Qiong asked Ling Jing how to arrange Zheng Bingsu?
This girl is a great person, let alone ancient times. Her spirit of chasing her husband thousands of miles away is still making headlines in modern times. Her courage is commendable.

If Ling Feng doesn't like the daughter-in-law who comes to his door and handles her inappropriately, she will be a hot potato.

Ling Jing nodded slightly towards Ling Qiong, and then hurriedly comforted Zheng Bingsu, "Sister Zheng, please stay here first. After the New Year, the second brother will return to Beijing to resume his duties. It's not for us to interfere in your affairs. When the second brother comes back, you can ask him face to face." "

"Where is he now? I'm going to find him!" Zheng Bingsu picked up the sack and prepared to leave.

Ling Jing led her inside and said, "It's an important place where troops are stationed on the border. No idlers are allowed in. It won't be easy for my second brother to see you if you go there. Don't be in a hurry. You can stay here and raise yourself pretty and wait for your second brother to come home and marry you." I think you are my sister-in-law."

Zheng Bingsu became coy. She tugged at the corner of her clothes and said hesitantly: "Then, this, this is so embarrassing. I haven't married yet, how can I live in it? Will it attract gossip to your family?"

"I'm afraid I didn't gossip enough," Ling Jing teased her with a smile, "I tied you up with gossip to prevent my sister-in-law from flying away."

After settling down Zheng Bingsu, Pei Zhanqing went to the house to keep him company.

The Ling family crowded into Ling Qiong's room to discuss matters.

Ling Cen asked first, "Is she really my second brother's sweetheart?"

Ling Jing nodded with a smile, her lowered eyelashes hiding the sadness in her eyes.

In the previous life, Zheng Bingsu also came to visit at this time. His second brother Ling Feng returned to Beijing not long ago. The two of them got married hastily, but they did not expect that Zheng Bingsu would have two sons.

The second brother Ling Feng devoted most of his life to loyally guarding the border, conquering the northern region, conquering the western frontier, opening up the frontier and expanding the territory, spending less time with his relatives and being more separated. He exchanged the lives of thousands of soldiers for the prosperity and peace of the southern country, but in the end he was Charged with treason.

Lin Yi Longming tried to protect the Ling family on the surface, but secretly set off a trap that would put him to death.

In the winter of the fifth year of Changlong, his second brother Ling Feng was killed in battle and no bones were left. Zheng Bingsu entrusted his two sons to his eldest sister Ling Qiong, hung a three-foot white silk ribbon on the beam, and followed him closely.

Unexpectedly, in the spring of the next year, the Ning family would be accused of plotting to usurp the throne, and they would be labeled as remnants of the previous dynasty. After many twists and turns, extension after extension, they were still sentenced to execution. She was placed under house arrest in the harem and was helpless.

Her two nephews have since been missing.

Lin Yilong, how could she not hate him!

The deep love between the emperor and the empress is simply a big joke!
