Chapter 50 Help

After taking over the mansion, Ran Ning was obviously much busier than before. The things in the house are not difficult to do, mainly trivial, and it takes a lot of time to arrange them one by one. The steward has helped Tan deal with these things for many years, and he is an experienced one, and with his help, he can save a lot of trouble. If there is something that Ran Ning can't decide, he will inform Zhong Su, and Zhong Su will decide, or ask his grandfather and father.

After the Tan family was robbed of the stewardship, the whole person was idle. Ran Ning went to greet Zhong Su every morning and evening, and the Tan family also ignored them, but they didn't make it difficult.

And while dealing with all the things in the house, Ran Ning also wrote the tune to welcome Nanyan's envoys. Although it was not done in one go, it was intermittent and carefully polished, and it was poured to make a song that Ran Ning was more satisfied with.

On this day, Ran Ning went to the Lile Division, handed over the song, and discussed the repertoire at the banquet with Le Qing. Le Qing listened to Ran Ningxin's song, although it was not appropriate to make the main song, but it was still very good to intersperse it in the banquet. Although Ran Ning's style of music this time combines the strengths of Beixin and Nanyan, the artistic conception is the style of a water town, which is fresh and elegant, but the rich atmosphere is insufficient. Ran Ning herself understood this, and she didn't think about the meaning of the main voice of this banquet. After all, she is already married, and even if she plays, it is inconvenient to show her head, and she participates in the banquet just because she works in the Rite and Music Division.

After determining the repertoire and various arrangements, Ran Ning returned to the Hou Mansion. Today, Zhong Su will inspect the barracks outside the city, and he will come back later.

As soon as the sedan chair stopped at the gate of the Hou Mansion, the steward greeted him and said, "Young lady, your mother's wife has come over with the second girl from the house." ”

Ran Ning frowned, and sure enough, as she guessed, a person like her mother who had nothing to do and went to the Three Treasures Hall suddenly came over today, only for Ran Mi's business. I heard that this matter is still deadlocked, Ran Mi was locked in the cell of the yamen, Jiang Peng had woken up, but Zuo Xiang had no intention of giving in, and her father had never stood in line, so naturally no one would help him, but Zuo Xiang had many protégés who were officials in the court, so he naturally spoke to Zuo Xiang, and now it depends on what the emperor means.

"Have you seen your mother?" Ran Ning asked.

"Madame said that she was unwell, so she didn't see the guests, and directly invited Mrs. Bo and the second girl to Qingfeng Courtyard." The steward said.

Among the ladies of the Hou Mansion, the Tan family has the highest status, so when the Yu family and Ran Ji came over, they should naturally go to see them first, but the Yu family said that they were sick and could not see it.

Back in Qingfeng Courtyard, Ran Ning went directly to meet Yu and Ran Ji.

"Mother, second sister." Ran Ning saluted the two, and when she entered the palace today, Ran Ning was dressed decently, unassumingly, and had the stability after marriage.

"Ning'er is back?" Yu got up with a smile, and his enthusiastic attitude made Ran Ning a little unaccustomed. This is really something to ask for, otherwise when would the Yu family be so kind to her?

"Why didn't Mother say it in advance? My daughter is also good to welcome you at the house. Ran Ning smiled lightly. It stands to reason that the Yu family came over to send someone to say it first, but now that she came over suddenly, there was always some suspicion of being uninvited, although it was true that Ran Ning did not invite her to come.

"You haven't been back to Bofu since you returned to the door. Your father and I are also not at ease, so I happened to be free today, so I came over to see how you were doing. Yu said with a smile.

Ran Ning nodded slightly and said, "Mother, second sister, sit down." Then he ordered Bizhu to serve tea and snacks.

In fact, if the Yu family said it in advance, Ran Ning would definitely find an excuse to hide out, after all, she was not prepared to take care of Ran Mi's affairs.

"Bizhu, this girl is also getting more and more smart." Yu Shi looked at Bizhu who had withdrawn and said.

"Well, I've grown a little taller, too." Now they are preparing food in the small kitchen every day, naturally it is not as difficult as when they were in Bofu, and there is a maid in the courtyard who is responsible for cleaning regularly every day, Bizhu does not need to do everything himself, and naturally he can grow some meat. If Xiao Wu and Zhong Su go out, they will also bring some outside food to Bizhu if they have the opportunity, and they will also make Bizhu fatter.

"It seems that the Hou Mansion is still raising people." Yu said with some emotion, but there was not much sincerity in his eyes.

"Mother and second sister are okay lately?" Ran Ning didn't want to say much about the Hou Mansion, so she turned the conversation around.

"It's still like that, it's just ......" Before Yu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ran Ning.

"That's good. Seeing that the second sister has a good complexion, I don't know if I can start picking others? Ran Ning didn't want the Yu family to turn the topic to Ran Mi, so she talked about Ran Mi's family affairs. If she is still a girl who has not left the cabinet, then this question naturally cannot be asked, but she is now married, and it seems that she cares to ask.

"Hey......" Yu sighed long and said, "My child's qualifications are mediocre, and I don't ask her to marry well, as long as she is safe and smooth." ”

Mother laughed. For so many years, Ran Ning naturally knew about the Yu family, how could the Yu family think that Ran Ji was ordinary, if she had the opportunity, she probably couldn't wait to send Ran Ji to be the crown princess.

"It was good to say before, but now it's even more difficult for Ji'er to marry well. Your brother accidentally offended Zuo Xiang, who still looks down on the girl from our Wanpingbo Mansion now? "Yu's Taoism is also deep, and he just turned the topic to Ran Mi, so that Ran Ning couldn't pretend to be stupid.

Ran Ning sighed in her heart, pretending not to know why, "How could my brother offend Zuo Xiang?" You don't usually see it, right? ”

"It was your brother who had a little dispute with Zuo Xiang and his grandson, and Zuo Xiang loved his grandson, so he deliberately couldn't get along with Mi'er." Yu said it lightly, at first glance, it didn't sound like a thing at all.

"For what?" Ran Ning asked.

"It's not a big deal, it's just a few quarrels." Yu smiled naturally, as if it were really like that.

"That's right. Zuo Xiang is such a big person, and he actually cares about this little thing with his brother. Ran Ji looked dissatisfied and complained.

"Since it's just a small quarrel, it's good for the two families to meet and talk about it. The left minister has been a minister for many years, and he is not an unreasonable person. Since the Yu family said it was a trivial matter, Ran Ning would solve it according to the trivial matter.

Yu Shi coughed lightly and said, "Zuo Xiang is not a good person, just for such a trivial matter, he actually participated in your father's book." ”

"So strict?" Ran Ning pretended to be surprised, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, maybe she would have been fooled by the Yu family.

"yes. Now no one wants to speak for your father, and your father's official career may be damaged. Yu Shi observed Ran Ning's expression as he spoke.

Ran Ning frowned and said, "Just for such a little thing, the emperor won't be happy, right?" It is the left minister who should be worried about the career. "If it's really such a trivial matter, Zuo Xiang dares to go to the book to visit Wan Pingbo, it's nothing to do. The emperor has all kinds of opportunities, it is not a particularly important matter, who dares to participate indiscriminately?

The smile on Yu's face stiffened, but he still said: "Anyway, now Zuo Xiang is fine, but your father has a bitter face all day long, and I am also worried." That's why I want you to help your father. After all, Wanpingbo Mansion and Zhenbei Hou Mansion are in-laws, and you are the only one I can think of. ”

"I don't think my mother has to worry, the emperor won't care about this kind of non-dispute. If Zuo Xiang dares to bother the emperor with this matter again, the first thing the emperor will deal with is him. Besides, if you quarrel like this, a slap won't make a sound, and the left minister won't pay attention to it. Ran Ning said. Whoever helps who is stupid in this matter, even if both parties are at fault, but Ran Mi took his family to beat Jiang Peng on the street, no matter how you look at it, Ran Mi's fault is greater. If she asks Zhong Su to help Ran Mi, the emperor will definitely feel that Zhong Su does not distinguish between public and private, does not argue with reason, and it will be too unworthy to be angry with Zhong Su when the time comes.

Yu Shi was also anxious, and said: "Things have come to this point, if you don't help your father, if something happens, you won't be able to gain a foothold in the Hou Mansion." ”

Ran Ning looked at Yu with a strange expression and said, "Mother, don't you say it's a trivial matter?" Listening to what you said, it's impossible for your father to be okay at all, so you really don't have to worry too much. As for the grandson of the elder brother and Zuo Xiang, if it really doesn't work, I will ask for some relationship, let the two of them meet, and just talk about it. ”

Yu was in a hurry. How can this be said? Zuo Xiang's grandson is still lying on the bed, and Ran Mi has been locked up, and it is difficult for her to see each other. Wan Pingbo was so angry with Ran Mi that she didn't want to care about him at all, otherwise she wouldn't have come to Ran Ning so anxiously.

Seeing that Yu really didn't know how to speak, Ran Ji answered: "Sister, you may not know, Zuo Xiang's grandson is a person who wants to save face, if this kind of dredging is useful, my brother would have done it a long time ago." Zuo Xiang has always been at odds with his father, and this time he finally grabbed the handle, so he naturally wanted to rectify his father. So if you don't help your father in this matter, then it will be really difficult for us to go to the house. ”

Ran Ji said this much smarter than Yu's, and it seemed that Ran Mi and Wan Pingbo had been wiped out at once.

"My father has always been neutral, but I didn't expect to be at odds with Zuo." Ran Ning took a sip of tea. As far as she knew, Zuo Xiang had never had anything to do with her father, so there was no such thing as discord at all. And even if they don't get along, her father will walk around the left and not face each other at all.

"Zuo Xiang doesn't like his father, no one can do anything." Ran Ji said: "Now that my father can only rely on you, you can talk to your brother-in-law and find a way to help your father and brother." ”

Ran Ning frowned and said, "I have never been involved in the affairs of Xianggong, he must know about this matter, but since he didn't mention it much, he won't be too strict when he thinks about it." My sister and mother are really concerned, and if it really shakes the Wanping Mansion, even if the prince doesn't say it, my grandfather will tell me. ”

Ran Ji frowned and said, "Although it is a family member, it is also an outsider. My sister-in-law and the Marquis of Zhenbei don't tell you, maybe they treat you as an outsider, and they don't want to pay attention to the affairs of Wanpingbo Mansion at all......"

"Sister is cautious." Ran Ning interrupted her, and said in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion that the Zhenbei Hou and Zhong Su were not, it was just nothing to do, "The elders of the Hou Mansion have always been kind to me, and the Xianggong is also very considerate to me, so naturally they will not treat me as an outsider." I, a woman, really shouldn't meddle in the affairs of the court, and I don't dare to take care of the decisions of the court. According to my mother's sister, this is really not a big deal, and my mother and sister have been worried about it. The emperor is wise, maybe in a few days, he will reprimand Prime Minister Zuo for delaying government affairs for some trivial matters. ”

As soon as Ran Ning's words fell, Bizhu walked in and said to Ran Ning: "Young lady, my uncle is back." ”

Ran Ning suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, Zhong Su came back to help her out of the siege, and Yu and Ran Ji should not continue to pester her. As for what Yu and Ran Ji think, embarrassed or resentful, Ran Ning didn't care at all.
