Chapter 303: Hidden Feelings
"Okay, okay, our little Jiu'er is not wrong at all. www.biquge.info"Old Madam Lan was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and her eyebrows became more and more gentle.
Xiao Jiu is also in a good mood, in fact, after really coming into contact, whether it is the Su family or the Lan family, they have good personalities and get along very well, but what makes Xiao Jiu helpless is that everyone feels guilty about her in their hearts, so they are always a little careful when treating her.
And for such a situation, Xiao Jiu can't say anything yet, so as not to cause them to think crankily again, thinking that she is thinking too much.
Xiao Jiu also asked Yuan Hai something about the situation of the Lan family before he came, the old lady Lan is a second-grade Shangshu Ling, the top boss of the six Shangshu, which is equivalent to the position of the prime minister, and now it has not yet become a minister, and it is only because of the retention of Emperor Qian.
Lan Qinghe, the uncle of the Lan family, was transferred to Dali Temple from the military department the year before last, and is currently the secretary of Dali Temple, and is the official position of the third grade, which is among the nine Qing.
There is a second-class member and a third-grade member in the family, although the mother's maiden family is just a small family, but the son-in-law is a first-class prince and a confidant of Emperor Qian, who is in charge of the military department.
Now that she has a general's son-in-law, the value that needs to be wooed has increased a lot, and Xiao Jiu still has a headache when she thinks of the princes who have been quiet as chickens since she returned to Beijing.
"I heard your mother say that the Xiao family still has a little boy, why don't you bring it over together, and let your cousins recognize each other, so that your cousins don't know each other when they meet in the future. ”
Old Lady Lan suddenly mentioned Xiao Chen, Xiao Jiu was still a little surprised, but immediately replied with a smile: "Ah Chen went to the school today, and when he rests another day, I will take him to kowtow to my grandmother and grandfather." ”
Recognizing the Lan family's relatives will always be good for Xiao Chen in the future, although Xiao Jiu was selfish before, he never showed it, and he didn't want to be the old lady Lan who mentioned it first.
When Mrs. Lan heard this, she also smiled and said: "Yes, your cousin and they are not married yet, and there is no child in the family, I heard your mother say that the child is still young, but he is a diligent and studious person." ”
"Ah Chen is eight years old this year, he is very diligent, he has to practice martial arts every day, go to the clan school, and have to complete the homework left by his brother Nanyu, which is very hard, but he has never complained, and his grandmother will definitely like it when she sees it. ”
Xiao Jiu naturally gave Xiao Chen a good impression in front of the Lan family, and it was also clear that they must have known Xiao Chen's situation for a long time, otherwise they would not have said such things.
"It's really a good boy, your two cousins have been lazy since they were young in martial arts, and they haven't been able to do martial arts for so many years, and they have no interest at all. "Old lady Lan somehow pointed the finger at Lan Yize, Lan Yilin.
The two named brothers were wronged, but they didn't dare to talk back to the old lady, so they only lowered their heads "in shame".
"I heard Yanxi say that the eldest cousin was Tanhualang the year before last, and now he is working in the Hanlin Academy, and the second cousin is on an errand in the Praetorian Guard. ”
Xiao Jiu's appearance of "I know you don't lie to me" made the Lan family laugh, even the two brothers of the Lan family were also very happy, and they remembered the soft and cute appearance of their little cousin in the past.
Although Yan Xi sat on the side and didn't speak much, his eyes always fell on Xiao Jiu, although the old lady didn't say anything, but he was very satisfied in his heart, and remembered the behavior of the eldest princess and Yan Juma back then, seeing Yan Xi's appearance now, he was more or less relieved to hand over his granddaughter to him.
The old lady was in a better mood, so she no longer snubbed Yan Xi, and took the initiative to ask him, "I went to the ministry these days, but someone embarrassed you?"
"My grandfather is relieved, and no one has embarrassed me yet. ”
Yan Xi has only been in office for a few days, and he has been in office step by step, and the three fires of the new official have never shown signs of burning, and the old fritters in the ministry will naturally not embarrass him, not to mention that he is still the identity of the imperial family, leading the errand of the patrol battalion.
It's just that it will be difficult to say whether it will be difficult in the future, after all, Yanxi went to the ministry specifically, not to support the elderly.
"The officials are greasy, the emperor doesn't know, it's just that the bad habits are difficult to get rid of, or they are all dismissed and investigated, and in the end, they are not changing the soup or the medicine. Old lady Lan said lightly.
Yan Xi knew that the old lady was mentioning him, and he happily responded: "What my grandfather said is that I will not act rashly." ”
"Well, you have led the army for many years, and such a trivial matter is not difficult for you. ”
**
Xiao Jiu arrived at the Lan Mansion for a long time, and the Su Lan clan was late, and his face was not good when he entered the house, but when he saw Xiao Jiu, he hid his emotions again.
"There was a delay on the way, and it was too late. Su Lanshi explained lightly, and never said what happened, either it wasn't important, or he didn't want to say it.
Xiao Jiu remembered Su Lan's expression, and speculated that something bad had happened on the way, so he concealed it, especially when Su Lan's first glance at the door.
After a conversation with Su Lan's family, Xiao Jiu excused himself to change his clothes, went out of the house, and took Hibiscus Hibiscus to the toilet.
After staying away from the hall, Xiao Jiu whispered to Furong: "Go and ask the coachman of the Suguo Mansion, what happened on the road?"
Although Xiao Jiu came to the Lan family for the first time, Hibiscus had accompanied Su Jiu before, not to mention familiarity, at least he knew how to walk.
Although Furong didn't see Su Lan's expression when he first entered the door, he also heard something wrong from that sentence, and after Xiao Jiu gave the order, he didn't delay, and after answering, he hurried to find the coachman of the Suguo Mansion.
"Girl, could it be that Madam is angry because of the Jiang family's affairs?" Mu Hibiscus suddenly thought of something and cautiously mentioned it.
Xiao Jiu frowned, "What's the matter with the Jiang family?"
Mu Hibiscus replied in a low voice: "The slave maid also heard people talking about it today, and some people said that the Jiang family is discussing marriage with the Suguo Mansion. ”
"This kind of brainless thing, I'm afraid it was Jiang Bixue who did it. Xiao Jiu sneered expressionlessly, "Mother rejected Mrs. Jiang that day, and Mrs. Jiang was annoyed and angry, how could she do such a self-slapping thing." ”
"Then the girl of the Jiang family ......" Hibiscus's expression was really indescribable.
"It's just a girl who has been raised crookedly, and she doesn't have any brains, there are not many good things in this world, and there are a lot of young masters, can she get it if she wants it, let alone a living person?"
Xiao Jiu is not angry, Jiang Bixue is the same as Mrs. Fang, she can only see what others have, not what she has, and she can't live her own life well, what will happen in the future, it is simply clear at a glance.
The master and servant were waiting for Furong in the corridor, not wanting to wait for Furong to come, but waiting for another person.
"Where did my cousin go, why didn't you come out to pick me up, it's too much!" The girl's voice was crisp, but it was a little delicate, which made people unhappy.
