On the orders of his mother, Lan Yi came to Helan Ling's house with Qiuluo, which was built in the mansion of Xinglongfang, where rich celebrities and nobles lived. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"All told, I haven't been here for almost a decade. ”

Lan Yi raised his eyes and saw that everything seemed familiar.

Someone had already reported to Helan Ling, he was meeting guests, and he was very surprised and excited when he heard that Lan Yi was coming, so he asked an old woman to come over with more than 20 girls to greet Lan Yi.

And Lan Yi Tongqiu fell before the arrival of the Helan family, chatting and walking inside, I heard that it was the cousin of my aunt's family, and the door did not stop her.

Remembering what happened ten years ago, I was still very young ten years ago, I came to my mother once, and the cousin in my memory was not big, but he had already learned to do business with his uncle. ”

Ten years, with a flick of his fingers, and now his cousin is still a cousin, a cousin or a cousin, but each other's thoughts can never go back to ten years ago, at that time, Lan Yi did not hate Helan Ling, and even felt that this cousin loved him more than his brother Shaozhe, and was particularly close to Helan Ling, or perhaps, it was because he was ignorant of human feelings and sophistication, so that his cousin misunderstood, which caused him to be in today's situation.

Lan Yi blamed himself a little.

Starting from the gate, the foot is paved with green bricks from Suzhou, in fact, this is not the green bricks used by ordinary people, but the name of a green brick, this kind of brick is the same texture and origin as the gold bricks used in the palace, but because the gold bricks are used by the royal family, the princes and dukes can not use it, not to mention the official eunuch and Li Shu, the gold bricks fired by the imperial kiln are slightly processed, sold by hand, and the price is expensive, that is, the Helan family can afford such a portal, that is, Helan Ling such a person who does business in the north and south of the world has convenient conditions, and the bricks are transported to the Xiling River in the suburbs of Beijing by water。

Qiuluo lowered his head as he walked, and joked: "If the young master is poor one day, he can make a living by digging a few bricks and selling them." ”

What Lan Yi can be sure of is: "My cousin will never be poor, the Helan family has been rich since the last few generations, and my cousin's generation not only has nothing to eat, but also has more means to make money than his ancestors, so his money is inexhaustible." ”

Qiuluo looked left and right with his eyebrows, and suddenly grabbed Lan Yi and whispered: "In this case, why doesn't my sister persuade Young Master Cousin to help Master Hou, isn't fighting a war just to see who has money, you need silver to recruit troops and horses, and you need silver to carry heavy carriages and horses, if Young Master Cousin is willing to help Master Hou, are we still afraid that we can't beat Yu Wenyou." ”

Although she said it very quietly, Lan Yi still booed: "This kind of thing can't be said casually, and my cousin is not the head of the white horse, although the head of the white horse is just a businessman, and he doesn't hear anything outside the window, but he still has a righteous spirit in his heart, and you know best what kind of person your cousin is." ”

Qiuluo followed Lan Yi's words and said fiercely: "I know, of course I know, selfish, unscrupulous, brutal and ruthless, hypocritical, sweet-mouthed sword, exquisite, sanctimonious, despicable and dirty, inconsistent and shameless......"

Lan Yi's eyes widened in shock, interrupting the still gushing autumn fall: "I've never seen how you read, but you learn how to pile up rhetoric." ”

Qiuluo looked not completely relieved: "If you are touched, you can say all these swearing words that you have accumulated all your life." ”

Lan Yi giggled: "That's not bad, a cousin asked you to review all the books you have read." ”

The two of them were talking, and they saw Hula ushering in a group of girls, and the old lady led by her was dressed luxuriously, and saw Lan Yi calling herself "Old Slave Yan", Lan Yi sighed again, the servants of the Helan family are better dressed than the wives of a high-ranking official's family, which is also the reason why Helan Ling has always had no intention of pursuing a career.

Mama Yan led the way on the front left side, and the rest of the girls followed Lan Yi's side, and the stars held the moon and invited Lan Yi directly to the flower hall of the back house.

Got the tea on the seat, the seat is rosewood inlaid with jade, the tea is covered with a roof, Lan Yi often goes in and out of the palace, so he tastes this taste, and he is shocked, Helan Ling is rich, and he can't use the royal things well, so where did this tea come from? His official title of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites was obtained because he helped Yu Wenyou find Su Yinhu, but it was just a name, and he didn't go to the Yamen to order it, if this tea was rewarded by Yu Wenyou, when did he see Yu Wenyou? Why did he want to see Yu Wenyou?

Then the refreshments were also put on the table, there were dozens of kinds, Lan Yi didn't want to eat, but his stomach growled, and he suddenly remembered that he hadn't had breakfast yet, so he was not polite, and ate the tea.

At this time, she heard the sound of knocking footsteps, she hurriedly swallowed the unchewed refreshment, because she didn't want Helan Ling to see that she came to his house as if she was an old acquaintance, but unfortunately, Helan Ling was too anxious to see her, strode forward, and rushed straight to her: "Cousin!"

It was too fast, and the sound was too loud, so shocked that the tea in Lan Yi's mouth was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't swallow it and couldn't spit it out, she pressed her hand to her throat and glared at Helan Ling.

Seeing that her expression was wrong, Helan Ling hurriedly asked, "Cousin, what's wrong with you?"

Finally swallowed, Lan Yi took another sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said, "You shouted so loudly, it scared me to death, I was eating the fruit, and I was so scared by you that I was stuck." ”

She didn't raise her eyebrows at herself, she was still very kind, Helan Ling was suddenly encouraged, and said happily: "I'm sorry, I don't know what you eat, are you hungry? Don't eat these things, wait a minute, I'll let the kitchen prepare wine and food." ”

Lan Yi waved his hand: "I'm busy here, let's make a long story short, it's like this, my mother asked me to come, and she asked me to borrow a thousand taels of silver from you, because my brother is going to get married." ”

Then, Lan Yi waited for Helan Ling to say, yes, one thousand is too little, my cousin will pay 10,000 taels when he marries, and I don't have to pay it back, count it as a little bit of my heart.

This is the attitude of the cousin Lan Yi knows.

However, to her great surprise, Helan Ling heard that her aunt had borrowed money, and suddenly smiled and said coldly: "I'm sorry, I haven't been able to turn around recently, and I don't have so much silver." ”

Refusing strictly, Lan Yi was a little embarrassed, and was stunned for a while before saying, "Okay, I'll go back and tell my mother." ”

got up and wanted to leave, Helan Ling grabbed her, and Lan Yi shook it hard: "We are no longer children, one year older and two years younger, respect each other." ”

He Lanling's hand froze in the air, and finally slowly clenched into a fist, he was used to Lan Yi's indifference, so he also practiced cheekiness, and said with a smile: "What, because I refuse to borrow money, my cousin is angry with me?"

Lan Yi's state of mind is like a deep pool, it is not his Helan Ling who can arouse microwaves, his expression is indifferent, and his tone is as indifferent as usual: "You know that I won't be because of this, you don't lend money to my mother, this is your freedom, and I don't want to come to you at all, it's my mother She said that she is the eldest lady of the Helan family, and using your money is using your own money, and even if I have the ability to help her, she said that her daughter is a foreign surname, and she is not as intimate as her nephew." ”
