Perhaps the happiest thing is that the children are proud of their parents, Qiaolan and Chuanhu have been proudly showing off for many days, and nothing makes her happier than this.

The days returned to calm, but when the weather was about to be cold, two people came to the capital, looking like the princes and grandsons, and their temperament was similar to that of the prince, and they were a little similar in a trance, and the tiger treated them very respectfully.

"Two sons, this is Neiko, madam, these are the two young masters from the capital, they are my friends, come to live at home for a while, can you clean up the yard?" Chuanhu's attitude is very formal.

Qiao Lan just froze for a moment, and then nodded, "Okay, then in this case, let's live in the courtyard where the prince lived, that courtyard is the best courtyard besides the main courtyard, you live in the next house, the prince's house has to be kept for him, and the old man will lose his temper if he messes up." There are a lot of houses, all of them are picked up, I'll fill you with some warm buckets and new bedding or something, peony, you go with me to see, what are the shortcomings. ”

"Thank you, Mrs. Sister-in-law, for the trouble." One of the older sons saluted and thanked him, and he was very educated and had a very clear appearance.

The two of them are about the same age as Li He, they should be like brothers, they look a little similar, and their bearings are very noble.

"You're welcome, have you eaten? If you don't have something to eat, I'll get you something to eat, come by boat, well, let's get some light porridge, it's very uncomfortable for people to swing on a boat. Su Lan went to the kitchen to speak, get some light porridge dishes, don't be too oily meat dishes, make them with vegetable oil, Gongzi is a noble person in our family, take out the ability to make two fish, this is more delicious. Qiao Lan thought about it for a while and made a decision.

"No wonder Uncle Wang said that we should come to you, or sister-in-law loves us." He had consciously changed his tune.

"Childe is a noble person, what should I call you? What's the number one in the family? Qiao Lan took the lead and asked frankly, you can't scream.

"I'm the third oldest in my family, and this is my fifth brother." The third prince said truthfully.

"Oh, the third son and the fifth son, please come to the house for the two of you, and serve tea." Qiao Lan greeted them with a smile and didn't know that the name was better, and she didn't want to ask so much.

Let people into the house, and take the opportunity to exchange glances with Chuanhu, Chuanhu just smiled at her gently, very satisfied with the performance just now, Qiaolan breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that it is right not to ask so much, but what are these two people here for, why do they live in my house, can't they live outside.

It is estimated that they are a little tired from coming from afar, and the two of them who have eaten early have rested.

At this time, Qiao Lan and Chuanhu can talk, "They are the nobles of the kings and grandsons?" Prince, I look at someone with a temperament very similar to the prince, what are you doing? Why do you live in our house, because you are afraid that it is dangerous to live in our house? Coming to Yangzhou is related to the salt merchants, except for them, there is nothing important worth their visit, only big interests. ”

Qiao Lan talked to herself, and analyzed it herself.

Chuanhu immediately smiled and took her hand and kissed it, "It's still my daughter-in-law who is smart and guesses sixty percent." It is indeed the prince who came to check the salt tax, and the collusion between officials and businessmen, it can basically be determined, the prince has been investigating for so long, and he is almost ready to get the evidence. They came for the final finishing touches, to take people to kill people and raid homes. ”

"Oh, so in order to prevent the news from leaking and counterattacking, I live in our house for protection." Qiao Lan smiled.

"That's pretty much what it means, they must have the cooperation of officers and soldiers in their actions, of course I have to come forward, otherwise don't look at them as princes, but they can't mobilize a single soldier, they don't have military power, and the soldiers don't listen to them at all, this kind of thing is smart to be a soldier, if it's a magistrate, maybe you can give a smile to deal with it, the princes don't see each other, for fear of causing a big disaster of killing their heads and stealing their homes, the prince's team is not so easy to stand." Chuanhu smiled teasingly.

"I'm relieved that you have a number in your heart, and I said to remind you. So what should I do, and if I succeed? ”

"That's the attitude, anyway, they live in the outer courtyard, and I'm with them when they're idle, we don't have any secrets worth exploring, let them go, be generous and frank, I don't have a concubine, and there's nothing unsightly to hide, whatever they want, don't come to the backyard to disturb you, I'll explain to the housekeeper, you just have to prepare the delicious food and drink, don't care about the rest."

"Cheng, I understand, I will explain the kitchen, and prepare a little supper for them at night, in case they want to eat, there is something to eat."

"Well, that's the reason, I don't know anything else about you."

"I know, I don't know anything." Qiao Lan was very wronged to clarify.

The two of them stayed like this, and went out to wander around during the day, and they brought their own little maids and guards around them, and Qiao Lan arranged for two little guys to run errands in the yard to go to the kitchen to ask for a meal, and they didn't arrange maids in the yard.

No matter what habits you have, she shouldn't know, you can't flirt with the girl in my house, that's not okay, I'm a private house and not a Goolan courtyard, so I still have to be respectful.

But fortunately, they only came to say hello for the first two days and said a few words of polite thanks, and then Chuanhu didn't come to the backyard when they weren't there, and they didn't set foot in the backyard easily, which made Qiaolan very relieved, I was afraid that the princes would have no rules and make a bad thing in the yard, and it would be bad for everyone to hang on their faces.

"Have you explained to the girls, don't know how to respect and want to climb the high branches, go to an accident and make a coincidence, and find that all of them will be killed." Qiao Lan was very serious and solemnly explained to the few girls of Peony Sulan.

"Madame, don't worry, we have already been explained by the housekeeper, I will beat it again again, do such a respectless thing, and deserve to be killed, we are serious and innocent, and we can't do things without shame." Peony has a straight face, and looks down on such people and things the most.

"Well, that's the reason, you can't let people think that I'm the old bustard of Goolan Courtyard, and I'm ashamed to pimp."

"Yes, I'll explain." Peony and Su Lan went their separate ways.

Chuanhu has been very busy these days, he came back very late, he fell asleep when he was tired, he didn't know what to do, he didn't want to say that she was not good at asking, asking too much was the secret of the imperial court, it was not appropriate, and if he didn't know, there would be no leakage, so he didn't ask.

Two days later, the prefect also came, and the group went to the study to discuss the matter, and it was very late, Qiaolan saw that it was late, and they didn't eat dinner, so she hesitated and said, "Is the kitchen ready for dinner?" ”

"Ready."

"Go and bring it, prepare a large portion, I'll serve it myself."

"Yes."

Qiao Lan was afraid that being sent would affect them, so that the prince thought that he was listening to the secret or something, so he personally brought the food to the door of the study and shouted, "Uncle, eat something, I will bring you the food, let's put it on the mat." ”

The courtyard door opened, and sure enough, there were guards guarding the door, Qiao Lan smiled: "I haven't eaten, I brought the food over, and I won't go in if you send them in, this one alone belongs to the two adults." ”

The guard bowed in return, "You're polite, just stay and I'll send it in, thank you." ”

"Then I'm leaving." Qiao Lan delivered the food, simply turned around and left.
