27. Chapter 27
Qingge opened the bead curtain, walked around the black lacquer ivory carving and walked the agate screen, half-bent over and standing by the bed to take a closer look, looked at Chonglan for a long time, saw that she was still motionless, and said angrily: "Dead Nizi, coax me again, see that I don't tear your mouth." β
Qingyun hurriedly said: "This time I was really not mistaken, I just saw it very clearly, Miss's hand just moved!" β
Qingge said: "You've been wrong several times, and it's all said this back, which makes people happy, I'm just" She suddenly stopped halfway through her speech, and saw Chonglan's eyelids tremble a few times, and then slowly opened a line.
The two girls thought they were dreaming, their faces were full of disbelief, and they were stunned for a long time before they took a few steps forward in surprise and shouted, "Miss woke up?!" β
Chonglan opened her eyes slightly, heard a few urgent exhalations in her ears, and muttered and asked, "Mama Feng, what are you arguing about?" β
Qingge and Qingyun didn't hear what she said, but when they heard her speak, they almost burst into tears with excitement, and called a few more times: "Miss, Miss." β
Chonglan's eyelids trembled again, and then he opened his eyes, and he saw his two maids, first looking at the two of them with shocked faces, and then muttering, "I'm back?" β
The two maids felt that something was not quite right, looked at each other, and asked softly, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" Qingyun was the most impatient and couldn't wait, so he turned around and was about to run out: "I'll call the doctor and the shopkeeper!" β
Chonglan held her brain, which was still a little dizzy, and hurriedly stopped her: "Don't go yet, pour me a glass of water, I have a few words to ask you." β
Qingge and Qingyun believed that she was really awake, some tears appeared in their eyes, they were busy helping her to help her, pouring water, she was now weak in her limbs, leaning on Qingyun and drinking half a cup, but Qingyun was an idle temper, chattering while feeding water: "You are not sick or sick, why have you been dizzy for so many days, we are almost crazy, and we beg the Bodhisattva day and night to let you wake up early." β
Chonglan thought of what happened these days, and was in a trance for a moment before he smiled and said: "Your young lady was summoned by the gods to go to the heavenly Yujing, and she was originally going to be in the immortal class, but you were born to read it, but you said how to accompany me?" β
Qingyun pouted: "You will make fun of people." β
Chonglan laughed a few more times, and then straightened his expression slightly: "You help me invite Xuetian over, I have something to tell her." β
Speaking of this, Qingyun showed some annoyance on his face, and despite Qingge's obstruction, he complained: "Master ChongdΓ is making trouble in the main hall of our mansion, entangled the ordinary clan elders and businessmen who come from nowhere, saying that it is to see that you are so sick now, and 'kind' wants to help you take care of the family business, I bah!" Oh, by the way, the big shopkeeper is talking to him in the front hall. β
Qingge was angry: "Miss's body woke up so easily, what are you doing with this now!" β
Chong Lan's face sank slightly, and he waved his hand and said, "Don't stop her, Qingyun continued." β
Qingyun got permission and snorted angrily: "This is not the first time, Uncle Chongjia has been making trouble these days while you are sick, and he has been making trouble when he sees the world, and he was even more unbearable last time, and he almost did it." As if she remembered something, she forcibly pulled Qingge's wrist over, and saw a big bruise on it: "Last time, he didn't know what his intentions were, so he brought a Taoist priest and said that he wanted to treat you, and he insisted on breaking in to see you, and Qingge Qingyue and I were injured after stopping him!" β
The news that Chonglan was in a coma Xi Xuetian was only looking for medical advice behind his back, and he hid it from everyone on the surface, and the uncle of the Chong family did this to test the truth.
Chonglan's face sank, and he slowly sat up and said, "Help me up, since everyone is making trouble, there is no reason to avoid it." β
In the main hall, the doors and windows were wide open, and the high-pitched voice came out uninterruptedly, Xi Xuetian's voice was neither humble nor arrogant: "Uncle is the elder of our owner's family, yes, but the big house and the second room of the heavy family have already been separated, no matter how close you are, it can be regarded as another family, how can there be a reason to go to someone else's house to point fingers and ask for stewardship?" β
Most of the heavy family members are extremely outstanding, Chongrui is around forty years, still has long eyebrows and sideburns, and his face is like a crown of jade, and some people believe that he is a young man in his twenties.
He stood in the hall and snorted coldly: "I can't write two heavy words in one stroke, even if I divide the family, I can't cut off the flesh and blood, she is now seriously ill in bed, the eldest brother has no news outside, and the second brother can't stand up, I am kind enough to help her manage the family business, what do you want to be an outsider?" β
Xi Xuetian said indifferently: "I can't be the master of this matter, and the Chong's firm is not my word, if the uncle wants to manage the family business, it also depends on whether the shopkeeper below will follow you." As he spoke, his eyes suddenly sharpened: "Besides, our owner is just a little sick, and it doesn't affect the family business, so why is he seriously ill in bed!" β
In these days when Chonglan was in a coma, Xi Xuetian only said to the outside world that she had a recurrence of the problem when she was a child, and she couldn't see the wind, so she couldn't go out, and the faint thing had always been hidden.
Chong Ruifeng slapped the case hard, and raised his voice: "Nonsense! I think it is clear that you are deliberately murdering, trying to plot against my family property, and thinking of putting my niece under house arrest, I sue you, if I can't see my niece today, let's go to the yamen to discuss this reason! β
Xi Xuetian's hand in his sleeve tightened, and he still said indifferently: "I have already told you, the owner has a strange illness and can't blow the wind, if you really want to see it, let the owner say a few words to you through the curtain, how about it?" β
The people who were invited to testify in the hall also felt reasonable, and just as they were about to nod, Chong Ruifeng sneered: "Who knows who it is through the curtain?" What if you fool us with someone else? β
Xi Xuetian rolled up his sleeves: "Uncle can't believe me, I can't do it, the owner's body is important, and I don't dare to ignore it." β
Seeing him shirking, Chong Ruifeng became more and more proud, and raised his voice: "I'm not afraid if I'm not happy, I just brought a famous doctor to treat her, I'm afraid that someone will secretly make a ghost." He took a few steps closer: "You are pushing like this, is there really something wrong?" β
Everyone in the hall also felt that something was wrong, and persuaded one after another: "You can invite the third girl out to see her, but it's only for a moment, and it can't hinder her body if you think about it." β
Chong Ruifeng sat down in a chair in a big way, held his chin high and said: "If you can't invite my niece, then hand over the cards and key accounts, this huge family business can't fall into the hands of a treacherous person!" β
Xi Xuetian's heart was tight, if he couldn't invite Chonglan, he could only tell the truth that Chonglan was unconscious, and Chongruifeng would have more reason to snatch the management of the Chong clan. He forced himself to calm down in front of him: "I can't do this thing, I have to ask the owner." β
The more he shirked, the more happy and proud Chong Ruifeng became, and he was sure of the rumor that Chonglan was unconscious, and said proudly: "What do you ask, I'm here as an uncle, shouldn't she come to greet her?" β
As he spoke, he gave a look, one of the two entourages around him went up to entangle Xi Xuetian, and the other went to invite someone very quickly, Xi Xuetian couldn't stop it, and he was furious in his heart: "Uncle, what are you doing?" β
Chong Ruifeng straightened his cuffs and said with a smug smile: "Since you insist on stopping it, then I have to invite my niece myself." If you can't see anyone, get your keys ready and hand them over as soon as possible! β
When he was full of spring breeze, he suddenly heard a sweet voice coming in from outside the door: "What does the uncle want the shopkeeper to hand over?" I don't remember what I owe to my uncle. β
Chonglan was supported by Qingge Qingyun, and stepped in with a sickly face, wrapped in a thick coat, coughing a few times from time to time, as if she was seriously ill.
Xi Xuetian was stunned at first, then surprised and delighted, and arched his hand: "The owner." β
Chong Ruifeng was like being struck by lightning, stood on the spot, and exclaimed: "This, how is this possible? You're not?! Halfway through his speech, he subconsciously stopped his mouth when he saw the inquiring eyes of the people around him.
Chonglan still didn't untie the big hat when she entered the house, and was helped to salute several clan elders in the hall: "The little girl has been sick recently, and she is very worried about her uncle and grandfather, so I thank you here first." β
Several clan elders hurriedly helped: "You are still sick, there is no need to be polite." "Over the years, Chonglan has not only made money by himself in business, but also helped the clan, repaired bridges and roads, and built schools, so he has a very good reputation in the clan.
Chong Lan stood up and looked at Chong Ruifeng: "I don't understand what Uncle said, what's wrong with me?" β
Chong Ruifeng held his breath in his chest: "I heard that you were coerced by a traitor and had to call yourself sick, so I rushed to visit." He still didn't give up: "Since my niece is seriously ill now and taking care of the family business is also hard, it will inevitably aggravate her condition, and I, who is an uncle, am willing to help one or two." β
Chonglan tilted her head and smiled at him: "Uncle really thinks that what he said is more exciting than the story in the book, this is the reason why you smashed my house?" After she finished speaking, she said slowly: "I have a total of fifty or sixty large and small shopkeepers under my hands, and there is no shortage of people to call." But we are all a family, so it's easy to say this, you come to help, I'll give you three times the monthly salary, what do you think? β
Chong Ruifeng listened to her compare herself with her subordinates, and she was furious, and she said it very respectfully, and the others didn't hear anything wrong, but nodded again and again, looking at Chong Ruifeng reproachfully. He didn't want to theorize about it anymore, so he grabbed the conversation and said, "You don't want to spew blood, when will I smash your house!" β
Chonglan looked weak, leaned on the chair and sat down slowly, but Qingge next to him knelt down all of a sudden, and said with red eyes: "Our young lady can't say that the elders are not, Rong Nuwen opened this mouth, a few days ago, the uncle brought a Taoist priest over, saying that he wanted to give our young lady a medical treatment, and several big men were about to break into the young lady's house without a head, and a few of us stopped it desperately, if we let them in something, our young lady's reputation will be good."
Qingge is a clever and delicate person, and he shed tears as he spoke: "I know that the uncle is kind, but if something goes wrong, won't our young lady's innocence be ruined?" β
Chongrui's face was so angry that he was about to kick over: ", how can you talk here, don't get out of here!" β
There was an uncle next to him who had never dealt with him lukewarmly: "You can take a lot of outsiders to break into your niece's and granddaughter's house, why can't your own people even say a fair word?" What the hell do you think, the uncle led someone to break into his niece's boudoir, and spread it out, so that our family lost all face! β
The clansmen sitting next to him were also full of disapproval, and some even whispered. Although the Qi Dynasty is open, there is a difference between men and women after all, and the boudoir is a private one. In the dense realm, even the biological father can't enter at will to avoid suspicion, not to mention that you, the uncle who has split the family, still take outsiders to trespass on your niece's house, how can there be such a reason?
Chongrui's face was full of grievances, and he suddenly slapped Chang Sui next to him with a backhand: "It's all your own assertions, which almost ruined my niece's reputation!" β
Chonglan read it quietly, and said with a face full of grievances: "It's just the utensils and objects smashed by the uncle's subordinates, and it's not good for your family to let you really lose money, but I was scared last time and became much sicker, is this slap worth it?" β
Chong Ruifeng was furious: "Then what do you want?" β
As soon as Chonglan raised her hand, a few tall servants immediately came up from below, and pulled Chang Liu, who was next to Chong Ruifeng, to play the board, she smiled slightly: "Uncle Mo wants to blame his niece, these slaves will not be disposed of, I am afraid that I will make waves in the future." β
Chong Ruifeng listened to the muffled sound of flesh and skin hitting outside, and felt that the sound seemed to hit his face, and he gritted his teeth with hatred, thinking that he was ten percent sure that there was no one left, why didn't this dead girl simply die!
Chonglan looked at his angry but forbearant expression with interest, looked at his plain white hand slowly, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the uncle should also repay the silver owed the year before last, and recently my niece's business is short of cash, didn't the uncle say that he wanted to help me?" Let's settle the accounts. β
Chongrui was so angry that he brushed his sleeves away, Chonglan glanced at him disdainfully, politely sent away the clan uncles, and smiled at Xi Xuetian: "Look at my uncle, as soon as he mentions the matter of repaying the money, he will slip away." β
Xi Xuetian looked at her carefully and made sure that she was really fine, so he showed a relieved expression: "Thanks to the owner who woke up in time, otherwise it would have been difficult for me." Oh, by the way, I met Commander Yan when I was on the ship back to Beijing, and he told you to go and see him when you were sick. He looked around her and hesitated, "But what kind of disease does the owner have?" It's amazing that I couldn't diagnose it even after asking for countless names. β
Chonglan began to cry and laugh a little when she heard him ask, and when she heard him ask, she couldn't help but press her forehead, she waved her hand to let everyone in the hall retreat, and then covered the doors and windows, and then frowned and said: "I can't be regarded as a symptom, to be honest, I don't know what this is."
After she finished talking about the adventures of these days, Rao is Xi Xuetian was well-informed, and she also felt incredible, and said dumbfounded: "Is this owner saying that you borrowed the corpse to return the soul these days, and returned the soul to the side of Commander Yan?" His face was full of disbelief: "Then the little girl I saw that day is you?" β
Chonglan nodded, and said angrily: "I have been looking at you for a long time in vain, and you haven't even seen anything wrong." β
Xi Xuetian smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that people who make up stories about gods and monsters can't guess it." He was still a little incomprehensible, and sat where he was there to digest for a while before raising his head: "I'll find a Taoist priest for you to take a look at." β
Chonglan nodded: "It's best to be respectable, but don't pull those charlatans over." She paused, with some confusion on her face: "What else is going on these days, and what happened to the candidates mentioned by the matchmaker and others?" β
Xi Xuetian's heart sank slightly, even more uncomfortable than the feeling of being forced by Chong Ruifeng just now, and he was silent for a moment and said: "Zhang Shaodong's family has become a frequent visitor to Mei Xingshou, and Young Master Li has also entered the gambling house, Meng Gongzi can withstand your temptation, but unfortunately the family has now taken care of relatives, and the rest either did not withstand the temptation, or heard that you are seriously ill and will not come anymore." β
He opened his beautiful lips and persuaded gently: "This is the person who wants to live with you in the future, and you can't see anything from such a momentary temptation, so why should you be in a hurry?" β
Chonglan didn't see annoyance on his face, but just pressed his forehead and said: "Our Qi Dynasty law, if a woman does not marry when she reaches the age of age, she will be forcibly married by the government or the clan, and if I don't make a move, is it really by that ill-intentioned fiddle and match a rotten person at will?" Besides, how difficult it is for a woman to support the family business, she also needs someone to support her behind. Not to be outdone, she asked, "Isn't there a suitable candidate?" β
Xi Xuetian sighed in his heart, and said with a gentle smile on his face: "Jiang Xiucai is not bad, first, he was not abducted by the head of the line, and second, he didn't drink and gamble, I heard that you are sick and often come to visit." β
Chonglan smiled: "He was a neighbor with me for a while when he was a child, so he should be an honest one." β
Xi Xuetian persuaded softly: "Although Miss is not a lowly person, she is always in business, he is a scholar, I am afraid that we may not be able to talk about it together in the future." β
She talked about her marriage like talking about business, without the slightest awkwardness, but rather indifferently: "I just want to find a partner to live, and I don't expect you to be so affectionate and friendly, how can I be so compatible?" She pressed the corner of her forehead with a silk and sighed: "You also know how many people are worried about this family business now, the eldest brother has no news, I'm afraid it's early, the second brother only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, I am a girl to support the portal, and I was almost forcibly occupied in the clan last time, and in Yangzhou, the sea prefect"
She showed a little distress on her face: "What if I don't marry?" If it is delayed like this, who knows how to marry a mud pig and leper dog in the future, it is better to choose to fight for yourself while you can still choose to fight now. β
Xi Xuetian wanted to step forward and pat her on the shoulder, but he couldn't help it, and persuaded softly: "The owner doesn't have to worry, it's not time yet, and there will naturally be a lover in the future." β
Chonglan smiled and looked at him: "I'm just talking casually, and I haven't reached that point." β
After she finished speaking, her face showed a look of fatigue, Xi Xuetian thought that she had just recovered from a serious illness, and hurriedly took the initiative to leave, and Qingge Qingyun helped her go back to wash and rest.
She fainted for so long, it was difficult to fall asleep for a while, she tossed and turned into the middle of the night before falling asleep, and it was inevitable to get up later in the morning, and when she got up, she saw Qingge standing by the bed, still carrying a basket in her hand, and smiled at her: "Jiang Gongzi heard that you are sick and can see people, so I specially sent you some food early in the morning, but for the sake of courtesy, he only left something and left, I think it should not be far away now, do you want to leave him?" β
Chonglan pretended not to see her joking look, lowered her head and thought about it: "Aunt Jiang was an old neighbor of us at the beginning, and she is not in good health now, so I naturally want to visit." β
As she spoke, she asked Qingge to help her get up and dress up, and nothing else, when Chonglan combed her hair, she seemed to have a grudge against the comb, and picked up a handful of hairy combs, but Qingyun couldn't stand it and took the comb over, so it was easy to clean up, so she took her hat and got into a carriage and went to the outskirts of the city.
Jiang Xiucai's name is Jiang Rong, there is a small courtyard on the outskirts of the city, the mulberry tree at the door is half-covered by the wooden door, Chonglan ordered someone to knock on the knocker, Jiang Rong hurriedly came out to open the door, and when she saw that it was her carriage, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Miss Chongsan is here." β
Chonglan smiled slightly in the car, still wearing a hat, ordered someone to present the medicinal materials prepared, and said softly: "I heard that my aunt was sick, so I came to visit, and I didn't know what the specific illness was, so I brought some medicine to nourish my body, and I hope that my son will not refuse." β
Although the clothes on Jiang Rong's body are old, they are still very clean, and her eyebrows are sparse, which can be called beautiful. His face flushed slightly, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "These supplements are too valuable, we can't accept them." β
Chonglan's voice was disgusted: "I heard that my son visited me many times during my illness, and I brought a lot of things, and my family accepted them all if I was ignorant, and my son still didn't allow me to return the gift?" β
This was a little unfamiliar and polite, Jiang Rong was a little disappointed, Chonglan also came to visit Jiang's mother a few times when she was not sick, but she took her second brother with her when she returned, and there was no etiquette at all, this time she rarely came by herself, but she was more polite and cautious than in the past, and her mind was incomprehensible.
Since he has come to the door many times, he naturally has the intention of asking for marriage, and the two were familiar when they were children, and when they grew up, they accidentally glimpsed once, but they didn't expect that she had become a jade and beautiful face, who doesn't love it? It just so happened that she also vaguely revealed the news of choosing a husband, so he moved his mind, but he was busy for so long and didn't respond, he was inevitably anxious.
He accepted the tonic as he said, raised his eyes and saw that Chonglan was leaving, he was anxious, and couldn't help blurting out: "Do you want the third lady to go in and sit?" β
Chonglan was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "What Jiang Gongzi said is that I should take a look at my aunt." β
Jiang Rong saw that she was still so far away, sighed in her heart, but she abided by etiquette on her face, and welcomed her into the door, he saw the sable fur cloak on Chonglan's body, as well as the tassel golden hairpin on her head, and the faint golden jade light on the cuffs, and felt more and more that she was out of place with this dilapidated courtyard, and said with some embarrassment: "I'll go pour tea for the third lady." β
Chonglan was about to say no, he had already turned around and walked in, and Qingyun, who was standing next to him, couldn't wait to whisper and laughed: "How can this Jiang Xiucai be like a big girl, she ran away without saying a word, since you are so scared, why do you please come in?" β
Chonglan gently pinched her: "Don't say a few words, no one will treat you as a dumb person." β
At this time, Jiang Rong had already brought the teapot into the house, and when she saw the two of them talking in a low voice, she thought that they were talking about their family's poverty, and her face became more and more embarrassed, so she pretended not to care and poured a cup of tea and put it aside.
Chonglan took it casually, the cuffs slipped off, and the red gold filigree bracelet on her wrist was revealed, Jiang Rong saw it and blurted out: "Don't bring this bracelet to the third lady." β
Chonglan was stunned, Jiang Rong's face turned red, and she hurriedly explained: "I mean that gold jewelry is a vulgar thing, and it is not worthy of the character of the third lady, it is better to wear some jade jewelry, which is elegant and noble." β
Qingyun has a bad temper, and almost ran back when he heard this, how can wearing a gold jewelry be called cheesy, can't you see others wearing it at home? ! Fortunately, Chonglan glared at her in time to let her swallow back the words that rushed to the tip of her tongue.
Chonglan directly took off the bracelet and handed it to Qingyun, and said with a smile: "In the end, Jiang Gongzi is a person who has read books, and he is so particular about his behavior, I didn't think about it much." β
Jiang Rong blushed and waved her hand, "Don't dare, don't dare." β
Chonglan lost the interest in talking, and went into the house to look at Jiang's mother, Jiang's mother seemed to like her very much, holding her hand and saying that she couldn't stop talking, she also dealt with it calmly, and gossiped for half an hour before leaving.
As soon as Qingyun got into the carriage, he couldn't wait to complain to her: "That Jiang Gongzi looks very honest, but he is too unworthy of the stage, a gold bracelet is like a black-eyed chicken, if I see your food and clothing, I can't be scared to death?" Do you really want to marry someone like that? β
Chonglan is indispensable: "Let's see first, it's not settled yet." β
Qingyun still couldn't help but muttered to her: "This Jiang Xiucai is called Qinggao at best, and at worst it is poor and sour, how can you deal with him in the future, do you also want to accompany him to eat chaff?" β
Chonglan was hurt by her noisy head, so she simply closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, Qingyun glanced at her resentfully, and still turned the charcoal fire more vigorously.
Although she closed her eyes, she couldn't sleep, and after a while, she thought about her back to herself, so what happened to He Lanlan? After a while, I thought that if something really happened to He Lanlan, I don't know if Yan He would be sad, but thanks to him for taking care of these days, it would be a little difficult to feel at ease just like this.
After thinking about it and returning to Chongfu, as soon as she got out of the car, she saw a small carriage of green silk parked in front of the door, and she smiled happily: "Looking at the scene, it must be my aunt who is here." β
Her aunt's name is Chonghuifeng, and she married a scholar when the heavy family was not in decline, and then the scholar had good luck, and he was admitted to the Jinshi, and all the way to Zhizhou from Wupin, which is more or less an official eunuch.
She passed the weeping flower gate and entered the main hall, and sure enough, she saw Aunt Chong waiting for her in the main hall, and when she saw her, she said angrily: "I only knew that you went out again, and your body is not yet well, what are you running around?" Although she is also in her forties, she is still picturesque, her skin is snowy, and she has a unique charm with light anger and anger.
Chong Lanfu saluted, was supported by her, and could only smile and apologize: "I have to go out for some things, and it is my sin to make my aunt wait for a long time." β
Aunt Chong waved her hand disappreciably: "What is the family doing with these foreign words?" I heard that the boss's shameless guy came to you again to make trouble, and he didn't get any bargains, right? β
Chonglan couldn't help laughing when she heard her describe Uncle Chong like this: "It's nothing, it's just that Uncle saw that I was sick and wanted to help me take care of things." β
Aunt Chong sneered: "He has a lot of appetite. Saying that, he sighed and said: "My mother-in-law at home is looking for trouble these days, and she doesn't let me go out, and I can't spare time to help you these days." β
Chonglan hurriedly grabbed her arm: "What's this, you are also a person with children and daughters, how can you take care of me all the time?" β
Seeing that she was considerate, Aunt Chong was overjoyed, and after gossiping for a long time before asking, "The Zhang family Shaodong I mentioned to you last time is not a good thing, so you don't need to think about it." β
She has been high and low all these years, so her marriage luck has not been good, and everyone around her who is tired is anxious for her, Chonglan thought of Zhang Shaodong's house who was abducted to Goolan Courtyard, and her heart was weak for a while, and she coughed and said: "Aunt said that it is not good, it is not good, just go back and find it." β
Aunt Chong pressed her eyebrows with a little headache, and suddenly thought of something, and handed out a post: "This is a post from your uncle's boss Zhang Zhifu, and you have to bring your daughter's relatives over, your two cousins are at your mother-in-law's house, and you can go with me when the time comes." She said and lowered her voice again: "I heard that he invited a lot of people this time, and many young masters are also going, so you can dress up, and the marriage will be a matter of course." β
Chonglan said embarrassedly: "Auntie, why do you bother? I'm not embarrassed or embarrassed by my identity, but I'm afraid it's not good to go. β
Aunt Chong twisted her: "I don't feel sorry for you, but you still push back." She has always been resolute, and she has already gotten up and said, "Remember, in three days, don't be too late." β
Finally sent her away, Chonglan shook her head with a headache, turned around and went back to the room to check the accounts.
She didn't take this matter to heart, but others were excited like something, early in the morning she was caught up and dressed up, most of the heavy family members are handsome, and both men and women are glamorous and charming, Qingge has put a lot of effort into it, and chose a straight jacket with a round neck with a round neck and a white pleated skirt on the lower body, and a white jade hairpin with eight treasures on the peach hairpin
, this outfit is elegant and elegant.
When putting on makeup, Qingge thought about it for a long time, but still chose a very plain makeup to paint for her, and used fat powder to cover the tails of her eyes slightly, while complaining: "The girls are all dressed up gorgeously, but you can only wear them plainly." After dressing up, he smiled and said: "But you look good in whatever you wear, and light makeup is always appropriate." β
Chonglan looked sideways at the polished smooth bronze mirror, even if she put on makeup, she couldn't cover her charming bones, and her smile showed her own flattery, which was too improper.
She sneered, the heavy family was born with a foxy face, she smiled and shook her head again: "What is this, there was a cousin in the third room, and that appearance is" She closed her mouth halfway through speaking, as if she thought of some taboo.
Although Qingge was curious, he didn't say anything when he saw her, and he wouldn't ask questions, so he helped her into the carriage after packing up.
Zhang Zhifu is an elegant person, the place to set up a banquet is not like ordinary people set up in the house, but on the Qinhuai River to buy a few painting boats, invite people to come to the painting boat to talk and laugh for fun, he is sitting on the second floor of the largest Yueyue painting boat at this time, is cautiously probing the look of the opposite person, said with a smile: "You are guarding the border town hard, I really admire in my heart, since I know that the commander is back, I always want to invite you back, today specially set up a banquet for you, the lower official first toast you a cup." β
Yan He waved his hand and said lightly: "Governor Zhang's Mansion is polite, it is all the food of the king's Lu and the worry of the king, where can I talk about hard work, let you spend so much, how can I be embarrassed?" β
Governor Zhang knew that this glass of wine was not so respectful, so he calmly put down the wine glass: "The Qinhuai River is famous all over the world, known as 'clear waves rippling willows around the embankment, and the delicate and charming eyes'. β
Yan He hummed, but he was a little absent-minded, and suddenly asked: "I heard that there is a very famous doctor for brain disease in Governor Zhang's Mansion, I wonder if I can invite him to Qi Guofu?" β
Governor Zhang was stunned, and then it became clear that Yan and this person were not willing to go to the banquet at will, this time it was rare to come to the banquet, and there was something to entrust, and the Yan family had gone through a circle in his heart, and he had not heard of any head problems, but he thought about it, but he did not delay in answering, and said with a smile: "The adults don't think that his medical skills are low, so I let him go to the house for a walk." β
Yan He's expression eased slightly, and Governor Zhang secretly wondered what kind of person made him so interested, but since he was so flattering, he took the opportunity to invite Yan He to the bow of the boat.
At this time, the painting boat has not yet traveled, but docked on the shore, there are several families on the shore who have received the post are ready to board the boat, among which there is a family of female dependents from the indigo silk carriage walked out, although the dress is elegant, but the gestures have their own charming charm, and the surrounding several dressed young ladies with red and willow green are compared, Zhang Zhifu inevitably looked at a few more times, and smiled with admiration: "I don't know which lady is so graceful, it is really" He wanted to praise a natural stunner, but he felt too frivolous, and swallowed the words back.
Yan He's gaze swept over at random, and then fell to the surface of the river.
The servant behind Governor Zhang's mansion replied when he saw the opportunity: "This is the imperial merchant Chonglan, she is Hu Zhizhou's niece. β
When Governor Zhang heard that he was a businessman, he sighed without being salty, but Yan He turned around and raised his eyebrows with interest: "Her name is Chonglan?" Which Arashi? β
The servant replied with a huff, "Look at what is written on the post, it is Shanfeng Lan." β
Yan He unexpectedly thought of a purse, squinted slightly, at this time Chonglan had already been on the painting boat, was being taken by Aunt Chong to talk to a group of female dependents, he pondered for a moment, left Zhang Zhifu and walked to the carved railing on the second floor, he had excellent eyesight, and at a glance he saw Chonglan with a green purse around his waist, and embroidered a Lan character with gold thread on it.
Zhang Zhifu also followed at this time, and when he saw him looking at Chonglan thoughtfully, he thought that he was moved by the beauty, and he thought that he had figured out the true meaning, so he turned around and ordered the people below to invite the Chonglan up for a while.
