7. Chapter 7

So is there anyone who is not afraid of death? Chonglan looked at Uncle He who was kneeling on the ground and found that there really was.

Uncle He said in tears at Yan He's feet how he and Vice General He had a deep brotherhood, and they couldn't wait to go together, Aunt He hugged Chonglan and cried mournfully, while talking about how affectionate the two families were, Chonglan was very faceless.

Uncle He is the patriarch in the end, and he has more knowledge than the rest of the He family, and after relieving himself, he pulled Uncle He over, kowtowing and saying: "General Mingjian, the third child and I are brothers of the same mother, and now that he is gone, only Lan Lan is left, who will take care of Lan Lan if I don't take care of it?" "The most important thing is that he can't have such a big fortune?

This is reasonable, Uncle He continued: "General, although our family's family resources are not as good as the third child, it is more than enough to raise a daughter, as long as I am still in the day, I will never let Lan Lan be wronged, and please give Lan Lan peace of mind to me." ”

Uncle He also followed and said: "We usually treat Lan Lan as if she were our own, and now we won't wronged her." ”

Yan He didn't say anything, pressed the tea foam with the lid of the bowl, and took a shallow sip of tea. Uncle He saw that he was so indifferent, no matter how eloquent he was, he didn't know how to say it, so he could only lie on the ground in worry.

Chonglan was a little sympathetic to Yan He, if Uncle He didn't even have the qualifications to look at him in normal times, if it weren't for the aftermath of Deputy General He, where would he have to make time to deal with these trivial matters. Naturally, there are civil servants under his command, but unfortunately this time the road is far away, and none of them have been brought, and those generals and rough men can't do such delicate things, so they may be coaxed in a few words.

She didn't dare to pretend to be a ghost in front of Yan He, and she was a little impatient to be hugged by Uncle He, and said softly: "Uncle is this going to raise me as a daughter?" But didn't the uncle tell my father at the beginning, 'Is the girl losing money, or is it safer to pass on the nephew', why have you changed your mind now? ”

After she finished speaking, she turned her face to look at the eldest aunt who wanted to open her mouth to argue, and continued: "Didn't the aunt also say that my mother has only given birth to a girl for many years after entering the house, what does a little girl do like this, the money saved is better than raising a few more concubines, do you do the same for your own daughter?" Of course she didn't know these words, they were all said by Aunt Zhao in a quick voice.

Her voice was crisp and sweet, popping out like fried beans with sugar, Uncle He and his wife stiffened when they were asked, but she was a childish language, which made people unable to refute it.

The two of them secretly hated each other, and Uncle He hesitated for a while before he said: "I'm afraid that you have misunderstood when you are young, and your aunt and I love you the most, but how could you say such things." ”

Yan He looked sideways at Lan, pulled out a smile of unknown meaning, and was about to speak, when he heard someone from outside report that it was Aunt Zhao who had arrived.

Aunt Zhao is a Shuangli person, after entering the main hall, she knelt down and saluted Yan He, and looked at Uncle He with disdain, and said simply: "The folk woman asked the general to say goodbye, I can't hide it, the folk woman is Lan Lanniang's eldest sister, Lan Lan's aunt, this time I came here for Lan Lan's adoption, and I hope the general will allow it." ”

Yan He put down the tea bowl, still silent, Chonglan looked at him, then at Aunt Zhao, nodded at her, Aunt Zhao dared to continue to speak: "Although the women are not rich families, but the family background is also solid, and the women do not plan to let Lan Lan succeed our family, she is still surnamed He, we don't take a penny from the He family's family wealth, and when it comes to marriage, let her take it out as a dowry." ”

Chonglan originally thought that no one would dare to mention the adoption of He Lanlan when she let Feng'er go, but she didn't expect that the two families would come, she had a headache, and she was a little moved by Aunt Zhao's intentions, if she had to let people adopt, she would rather choose Aunt Zhao.

Yan He bowed: "That's okay." ”

Aunt Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, but Uncle He suddenly said, "This must not be." ”

Everyone except Yan and Du looked at him in unison, and his mind turned sharply: "Lan Lan is the blood of my He family, how can I let someone with a foreign surname raise me, wouldn't it be a joke for the third child to have no successor, and let others see the He family!" ”

Aunt Zhao said impatiently: "I said it, Lan Lan is only fostered in our family, and she doesn't follow our family name, why is there no successor?" ”

Uncle He hated it in his heart, seeing that the fat in his mouth was about to fly, and all the benefits were going to fall to someone else's house, he thought about it for a while, and suddenly changed his voice: "It's not impossible for you to adopt Lan Lan, it's just that you said that there is no successor, and the third family should indeed have a person who breaks the pot and sweeps the tomb in the future, Lan Lan is always a girl, and she wants to live in your house, so it is better to choose someone to inherit the He family." ”

According to the law of Daqi, the stepson can also inherit the family property, Aunt Zhao sank her face and said: "I advise you to die of this heart, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law's family property is to be left to Lan Lan, what is it to have a stepson who doesn't know cats, dogs, and four?!" ”

Uncle He raised his voice and said: "According to the law of the Qi Dynasty, the third child has no children behind him, and it is not a big deal to have a step-son and nephew, what is your intention to stop like this?" Do you want to see my third brother come to an end?! ”

Chonglan said slowly: "Then don't I want to have another brother?" As for the belongings that my father and mother left me, do you want to give them to him? ”

Uncle He didn't expect her to ask directly, and his face was a little unbearable, it was impossible to say that he was running for money, right?

Aunt Zhao sneered: "If you want to succeed, you can make a note first, and the He family's money stepson will not take a penny, just give my sister-in-law and brother-in-law a pot and sweep the grave!" ”

Uncle He's face was stiff, what he wanted was the He family's property, but he didn't want to stick to his son for nothing and catch nothing!

Chonglan took the opportunity to pull Yan He's sleeve, arching his hand and blinking, busy with his work. Yan He still sold her face, and said unhurriedly: "Just follow this method, if you want to succeed, set up a note, He Lanlan is a maid, and she should inherit the entire family of the He family." ”

Uncle He was anxious, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "General, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, what if the stepson doesn't fulfill his filial piety for the third brother?" ”

Aunt Zhao grabbed the handle and sneered: "Those who dare to come and succeed are all for the silver of the He family, if there is no silver, you will not be satisfied?" ”

Uncle He gritted his teeth and ignored her, turned his head to Yan He and said, "General, I'm afraid this is a little unreasonable."

Yan He glanced at him lightly, he was full of excitement, and automatically swallowed the second half of the sentence back into his stomach. Yan He beckoned to Chonglan: "Let's go, it's time to eat." ”

Chonglan suppressed her thoughts, jumped out of her chair and followed.

Aunt Zhao snorted coldly: "I advise you to do less of those crooked thoughts, you don't want to work hard to make money, what's the matter with staring at other people's money?!" ”

After she finished speaking, she left directly, Uncle He gritted his teeth tightly, and glanced at her resentfully, Uncle He came over to hug him, and said worriedly: "Our shop has a big deficit, and now we can't use the third child's money to make up for it, what can we do now?" ”

Uncle He grabbed her away and said hatefully: "Even if I can't get the money, I won't let this woman have a good time!" ”

Chonglan has been with Yan He for most of the past few days, but not as restrained as a few days ago, Yan He only told her to eat, but she went back to the room to read the war report, she was bored to eat alone, so she found a tray and filled a sesame cake, with fragrant sauce beef, thought about it and took a bowl of winter melon soup to the tray, and brought it to the back room for him.

Yan He heard the sound of the curtain at the door, only to see her stumbling to her, tiptoeing but unable to reach the bookcase, and said with a wrinkled face: "My lord, you can help me." ”

Yan He got up and put aside the official documents on the table, helped her put the tray on the table, and glanced at her: "Didn't you say that you should eat it yourself, I don't need you to bother here." He said that he still carried the chopsticks elegantly, and ate a piece of beef slowly.

Chonglan already had a preliminary understanding of his awkward temperament, so she only thought she was praising herself, and politely handed him a handkerchief on the side: "You are my father's boss, my elder, and you have a great favor to me, how can there be a reason that the elder is hungry and the younger generation eats first?" Treat it as if I honor you. She pushed the soup bowl forward with her chubby hand: "Drink the soup first and then eat, it's good for the spleen and stomach." ”

Yan He slowly scooped a spoonful with a soup spoon, Bai Jie's fingers were almost transparent under the bright sun, she hadn't seen ordinary soldiers eating, sprinkling a little east and falling a little west, and eating all over the table after a meal, he ate elegantly, and his lips were clean after eating a meal, and he really couldn't tell that he was a person who was used to the military camp.

She was amazed and admired, but still asked: "My aunt told me that my father and mother are going to be funeral tomorrow, and the adults are leaving, so what should I do?" ”

After she finished speaking, she looked at him with blank eyes, she tripped over without paying attention, her body fell back, Yan and her probe hugged her, all the weight was pressed on both hands, heavy like a responsibility, he straightened her, let her sit on the pestle, and said slowly: "Knowingly ask." He paused, and said with rare advice: "After I leave, you must pay attention everywhere, don't use your father's name to show off, but don't let people bully you." "He hasn't seen the original He Lanlan, but after getting along for the past few days, this kid is really lovely.

Although Chonglan still wanted to go back to the south, she was not as eager as a few days ago after relaxing, and tilted her head and asked, "Then can I move to Aunt Zhao's house after the funeral tomorrow?" My mother said that you have to know etiquette to be a man, should I give her a backup thank you gift in the past? ”

Seeing that she was in such a hurry to move out, Yan He was inexplicably a little unhappy in his heart, and said lazily: "Zhili? If you want to thank her, what should I do with my share? ”

Chonglan tilted her head and said innocently: "Why don't I kiss you?" Seeing that he showed a wordless look, he laughed twice in his heart, and spit on himself for being bold, even the god of war dared to tease.

She thought about it, turned around and ran outside, pinched an orchid that had just bloomed, and spread it out in the palm of her hand to show him: "Orchid, promote its fragrance, orchid is a gentleman among flowers, flowers with beautiful cough, with heroes, it is very suitable." She couldn't reach her tiptoes, so she pinned the flower to his cuff.

He looked down, as if he was a little disgusted, but he still took it off and put it in his hand with a gentle movement, the tender petals trembled and stuck to the palm of his hand, he smiled at her, but the meaning of the warmth was unclear: "The implication is good, it's just the sentence 'Lan Zhiyi', you read Han Yu's "Youlan Cao" at the age of five, you are really talented." ”
