Chapter 459: Borrowing a knife
Lan Xin drank a few glasses of wine, and his face was red, like the pink peach blossoms on the branches, delicate and lovely. Leaning his cheek on the table with one hand, he plays with the wine glass in his hand with the other. His eyes stared at Mrs. Mu in confusion, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, obviously he was already a little drunk.
"How does my sister know about Master Wei?" asked Mrs. Mu's voice as if unintentionally. Raising the glass in his hand, he took a gentle sip of wine.
Lan Xin didn't hide it, shook the wine glass in his hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a low voice: "Sister should know about the Rong family in Xuzhou, right?!" Although it was a question, the tone was affirmative. I believe that people who have contact with her will know the relationship between her and the Rong family when she was in Xuzhou. Seeing that Mrs. Mu nodded, she continued, "I heard that the Rong family has dealings with Wei Gongzi. ”
"Rong family?" Mrs. Mu looked thoughtfully at the cup in her hand. After a slight pause, he changed the topic and said, "This Wei Gongzi is quite interesting. Some people say that he is a gentle and jade-like son, some people say that he is an uncle with a full beard, and some people say that he is an old man with a rickety body and gray hair.
What's more, he is said to be a burly woman. Hehe, sister, don't you think it's funny? Haha, it's really funny. It's just a timid person who is as timid as a mouse, and it actually spreads around like this. Sister, tell me, isn't it funny?"
Lan Xin picked up the wine glass, dipped his lips slightly, tilted his head and groaned, and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's funny! Maybe these people are, maybe they aren't. ”
"Oh, what did you say, sister?" asked Mrs. Mu curiously, raising her eyebrows suspiciously.
The corners of Lan Xin's mouth curled slightly, and he said funny: "It's all, that is, these rumored people are actually Wei Gongzi's." Seeing that Mrs. Mu was puzzled, she tilted her head and thought about it and explained, "In other words, Wei Gongzi is not a person, but a group of people. These people have a common code name, that is, Wei Gongzi. She shook her wine glass lightly and said lazily, "It's not true, that is, these people are actually not Wei Gongzi." Well, it's not right, it should be said that they are not the true face of Wei Gongzi. I've heard that there is a kind of disguise technique in the rivers and lakes that can change people's appearance. ”
"Well, that's what my sister said. Mrs. Mu nodded thoughtfully. Lan Xin knew that her words had made Mrs. Mu listen, and then she didn't say more, just tasted wine and ate food seriously. He only needs to reveal the information he found to Mrs. Mu quietly. The Yu family can take action and deter the people around them. But it shouldn't be too much of a fuss, so I have to borrow the hand of Mingyue Lou.

Lan Xin pinched the gift list in his hand and looked at the gift on it thoughtfully. It was the gift list that Fang Ning sent from the capital. The last time Mrs. Fang came to Jiangzhou to attend Lu Xian's wedding, when she went back, she brought Fang Ning back. Also, the rumors in the capital have passed, and Fang Ning has reached the age of marriage, so she should return to the capital and plan carefully.
And Old Lady Fang's health has not been very good recently, Fang Mingyuan couldn't rest assured, so he took Old Lady Fang and Old Lady Fang back to the capital, hoping that those famous doctors in the capital could make Old Lady Fang's body improve. It's just that Mrs. Fang was used to life in Xuzhou, and after her body recovered, she returned to Xuzhou with Mrs. Fang.
Of course, these are just superficial statements. In Lan Xin's view, Mrs. Fang's return to Xuzhou was to fulfill her promise to retreat bravely and return to her hometown. Second, it is to retreat as advance, hoping that Fang Mingyuan can go further.
Lan Xin put down the gift list, picked up the tea in his hand, took a sip gently, and said to Mother Liu with a smile: "Hehe, Fang Ning's gift list this time is much more expensive than usual. ”
Mother Liu smiled and said, "Yes, if you don't look closely, you won't be able to find the clue in this!" "That's true!" Lan Xin nodded in agreement, "This should be Mrs. Fang's handiwork." Lan Xin squinted her eyes slightly, and couldn't help but think of the first time she saw Fang's wife Lu when she went to Fang's house to add makeup to Fang Jing in Xuzhou.
At that time, Mrs. Fang was gentle and quiet, although she was easy-going on the face, she was arrogant in her bones. And when I saw him again at the Lu family this time, although his face was the same as before, he was much more friendly. Just like this gift list, there is not much difference on the surface, but after careful consideration, you will find that the gift list is heavier than the previous one. Lan Xin couldn't tell for a while whether her change was because of the attitude of Lu Sheng and Old Madam Lu, or because she was now the head of the Yu family. Maybe it's both?! But fortunately, she sent some peanuts over, which wasn't rude.
"Is Uncle Kui ready over there?" Lan was not entangled in the things on the Fang family's gift list, and talked to Liu's mother about some things about the study tour. Because of Lin's help, Lan Xin made the regulations of this study tour more rigorous and specific. This can not only better allocate manpower, but also mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, so that they feel that this study tour is their own business, not that everything has nothing to do with them, they are just high up and enjoyed.
"It's all set. Mother Liu said with a smile, "The head of the house said that the girl's charter was specific, and he also had a bottom in his heart." But I still don't dare to hold it up, after all, I haven't been far away for many years. ”
"Uncle Kui is humble. Lan Xin said with a smile, "Although I haven't gone out for many years, I still have those experiences." It's just that it's a little regrettable that Uncle Kui can't see Qinghe's child born. However, it is possible to bring gifts back to your child. ”
"Yes, that's what the girl said. At the mention of the child in Qinghe's belly, the wrinkles in the corners of Liu's mother's eyes deepened, "The old slave has already prepared the small quilt, small pillow, and small clothes." Qinghe's child was born in October, so the old slave also deliberately thickened the small quilt a little ······" As soon as she talked about the child, Liu's mother talked endlessly, her eyes were shining, and the corners of her mouth couldn't be suppressed.
"Are the nurses and midwives ready?" Lan Xin asked with a smile, "These people must be prepared in advance, so as not to panic when they arrive." ”
The girl reminded. These old slaves are also paying attention. The old slave still thought that he would find all the people earlier, and also look at the conduct of these people. Those who have bad conduct must not be used. Otherwise, it is Qinghe and the child who will suffer. Mother Liu said carefully, obviously these things have been thought through.
