Chapter Thirty-Eight: Human Affection is Warm and Cold
Such an uplifting and morale-boosting good thing, how could Lan Mingdong not support it?
nodded immediately, or handed over this matter to Yu Lian and Hanwen to be responsible for, but it was a glorious style, which made people secretly admire. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Early in the morning of the second day, Yu Lian and Hanwen took seven or eight henchmen, carried two large boxes and sat at the door of the courtyard, calling for rewards according to the roster.
Suddenly, the entire Xiaoyan Mountain from top to bottom was cheering, because of the difference in the size of the meritorious service, the most you can get three hundred taels for killing thieves, and the second, the mother-in-law and maid who burn the fire and hold the firewood, also have twenty or thirty taels.
In addition, he donated two hundred taels of sesame oil money to the nunnery, two sets of monks' robes, monks' shoes, and monks' hats.
As for those who died in battle, the pension was even more generous, and the silver was given to his family along with his ashes.
As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, so much money is really exciting, many people privately say that it would be good if there was another battle, which is much more powerful than receiving a fortune.
It is the teachers and wives who have struggled on the edge of life and death for a while, they are all smiling, after all, they are not a feng shui treasure here, a famous treasure temple.
In addition to the two hundred taels of sesame oil money, Mrs. Lan also has to do a superordinate Dafa service, such a reckoning inside and out, two years of expenses have come out, how can she not be happy?
Lan Mingdong went out for a walk, and when he saw it with his own eyes, he also felt something for a while, and immediately turned around and went back to the room, instructed someone to grind the ink, and after careful consideration, he wrote the first letter after leaving Beijing.
He took this incident as the reason, but later talked about the reward and punishment system of the Great Zhou, and he wrote tens of thousands of words, and every word was heartfelt.
I have to say that the loyal minister, no matter when he arrives or where he goes, his heart that is loyal to the court will not change.
When he set off again, although Mu Lingxuan's injuries had improved, there was still a big gap between them and complete recovery, so it was logical that they would go with the Lan family and embark on the official road to Pingjing together.
It has to be said that the horse thieves who exterminated the Tiger Stream had a huge impact on this area, and along the way, not only the common people who came to the wind welcomed them, and sent eggs and fruits to express their gratitude.
Even the **** has been divided a lot, I'm afraid that even if they know that the Lan family has a lot of money and has a huge amount of money to seize the thief's nest, they don't dare to risk their lives to come to make up their minds, what's the point of making a fuss about having money and no life to spend?
On this day, the convoy that was slowly moving forward finally arrived at Ohara Castle, and the two civil and military leaders of Ohara Taishou and Ohara Shouwei were both greeted at the city gate.
Dayuan Taishou's surname is Xu Mingyun, the word Mingmin, and Lan Mingdong were raised in the same year, but one is the champion, and the other is the last second.
Although the two belong to the same year, but the luck is completely different, Lan Mingdong was originally a rich family, just because he won the champion, he was first recognized by Chongbei Hou Huiyan and recruited as the best son-in-law of the East Bed.
Later, Jian was in the heart of the emperor and became the mainstay of the royalists, and more than 20 years passed in a hurry, and Lan Mingdong became the left minister under one person.
And Xu Mingyun relied on the help of his family, and worked diligently to run errands, but now he is just a three-grade Taishou, and he dreamed back at midnight, he has been jealous of Lan Mingdong's **** luck countless times.
I always feel that if I can become the son-in-law of Chongbei Hou, I may not be able to do worse than Lan Mingdong.
This matter, Xu Mingyun will think about it every once in a while, and after all these years, it has become a grudge.
I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, in the past thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, the dignified Lan Zuoxiang overturned in the gutter, and was degraded by the saint and released, haha, Xu Mingyun's heart is called happy!
It's good now, both of them are the third grade, even if he is one of the four mansion Yin, but everyone is at the same level in official rank, and no one is a little higher than the other.
And what he Xu Mingyun is stepping on under his feet, but his own territory, even if Lan Mingdong can do something, he is just a passerby, in addition to looking at his own face, can he still be arrogant?
As soon as the two sides met, they all agreed that Xu Mingyun and Zhang Tongsheng, the guard, had ignored Lan Mingdong one after another, and they were extremely enthusiastic about King Ruijun and Hou Shizi of Xuanping.
Even Hu Zhixing is in front of the Lan family, who makes the Lao Tzu of the family a first-class official, and the official is still a scholar!
If Xu Mingyun did it on purpose and deliberately snubbed it, so that Lan Mingdong's face was dull, then Zhang Tongsheng came from the heart, General Liu under him, but he picked up a big leak in this time, and got a piece of the pie in Mu Shizi's hands.
Fortunately, General Liu is his cousin, and he sent seven or eight boxes of good goods to his house at the moment.
For Mu Lingxuan, who generously rewarded this windfall, he is really grateful, and he can't wait to get in touch with this famous little overlord of the West, if there is such a good thing in the future, won't he and his subordinates be able to make a little money?
In the end, Xu Mingyun, who was still pretending, first vacated the time and came over to greet the same year, but when he saw him bow lightly, he smiled and said, "Oh, isn't this Brother Su Qian?" ”
"Brother Gao Jinxian, come here, Brother Su Qian is the champion of our year, you must know each other."
How could Zhang Tongsheng not know who this was?
It's just that he is secretly stepping on Xu Mingyun's praise, but he is unwilling to do the same thing with this person, he really would rather please Mu Shizi than follow Xu Mingyun's side, it is not good to say a word, but he will be misunderstood by Lord Lan, he and Xu Mingyun are in the same faction.
But helplessly, Xu Mingyun, an old treacherous and cunning man, named him, Zhang Tongsheng had to hold his fists and arch his hands, and said very affectionately: "Brother Su Qian is polite, junior brother Zhang Tongsheng, the word is high, more than ten years ago he was also under the command of the old marquis of our family, and he was transferred to the west five years ago. ”
But it was clear-cut and stood on the side of Chongbei Hou.
Xu Mingyun's face stiffened, and he snorted coldly inaudibly, secretly scolding Zhang Tongsheng for not being a thing, and he loved to share his superiority with himself.
To curry favor with an official who has lost power, but also in the name of the Marquis of Chongbei, I! Who doesn't know that you are the lackey of the governor of Zhenbei?
Even if the governor of Zhenbei was single-handedly supported by the old marquis, but the small tree has grown into a towering tree, will he still be a response insect of the Liu family with peace of mind?
You, the confidant of the governor of Zhenbei, do you listen to the old marquis, or do you listen to the new master?
I'm afraid everyone knows it in their hearts!
For Xu Mingyun's contempt, Zhang Tongsheng's friendship, Lan Mingdong accepted it calmly, and there was no unhappiness revealed.
You see him smiling warmly, his posture is chic, his conversation is elegant, his gestures are high, and his momentum in a high position for a long time is quietly vented, which makes people's hearts move.
In fact, as early as when he was discussing with his father-in-law and eldest brother, Lan Mingdong had already thought that in the future, he would definitely not be looked down upon when he was demoted.
The mental preparation made in advance, coupled with his comprehension in prison, made Lan Mingdong extraordinarily detached.
If Liang Yunqi was here at the moment, he would inevitably sigh, "Lord Lan has improved again......"
He used to be in the capital, known for his elegance and generosity, but in this elegance and generosity, there must be two or three points that are deliberate, and they fall into the hearts of discerning people, and it is inevitable that they will be traced.
Now, Lan Mingdong is obviously free in everything, and he is free and casual everywhere, once all the performances are from the heart, he gives people the feeling that he is naturally a true gentleman who is at ease and indifferent.
However, Lan Mingdong's good psychological quality does not mean that everyone stands on the same height as him.
For example, Lan Hongsen, the son of the Lan family, only felt it for the first time at this moment, what it means to be high and low.
Not only Xu Mingyun and Zhang Tongsheng, these two local leaders put Rui Junwang, Mu Shizi and others first.
Even the subordinates who served in the other garden followed the direction of the master's wind and watched the people get up below.
Not only the accommodation arranged, the Lan family is the most remote and the most shady place, even if you want a water and use the stove to make a soup by yourself, you have to pay the money first before you can achieve it smoothly.
Lin Huaide had long regarded the Lan family as a family, and when he saw this, he was really angry, even more angry than if he was treated coldly, and he couldn't help but stand up for the Lan family, but was stopped by Mu Lingxuan, "Ade, this matter seems to be bad, but it may not be." ”
"Don't you think that this matter is also an experience for Brother Sen?"
Lin Huaide: Who is that?
The children who grew up in the palace know the warmth and coldness of people the most.
When you are petted, everyone kneels under your feet, hating to hold you to the sky, just to be able to get some light with you and get some benefits.
But once you lose power one day, then I'm sorry, even the lowest-level little eunuchs and palace maids can seize the opportunity and trample you to death.
Lan Hongsen is in Beijing, he is the son of the left minister, there are countless people around him, what he sees and hears are all words of praise and virtue, and he has never been treated like this.
Thinking of this, Lin Huaide couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, "Alas, it's Brother Han Fei who thinks a lot, you are right, I think Uncle Lan will take Brother Sen with him, it doesn't mean to let him go through more worldly things." ”
put out the thought of helping each other, kept silent, and watched from the sidelines with Mu Lingxuan, watching Lan Hongsen take this so-called realistic lesson of human affection.
In the next two or three days, there were many big and small banquets, and because of Xu Mingyun's strange thoughts that could not be said to others, he paid special attention to the daughters of the Lan family.
not only instructed his wife to be attentive and thoughtful, but even on the day of the banquet in the palace, he also put down his body and secretly ran to see it.
Later, he painted a picture in the study and sighed a few words, but he didn't want to be seen by someone who cared about it, but planted a bane for Mrs. Lan's mother and daughter.
These banquets, large and small, no matter whether they are reasonable or reasonable, the Lan family will be among the invitees of the host's family, but the treatment they can receive is good and bad, and the good and the beautiful are different.
Lan Jiayin even saw a deep hostility in the eyes of some noble ladies, and worriedly, she inevitably reminded her mother to wear the treasure that her grandmother had painstakingly begged for when she went to the banquet in the past few days.
Not to mention, she just took precautions, but she played a decisive role at a critical moment, and all of this has to start with the rose party held by Mrs. Taishou.
Mrs. Taishou Xing, who is also the daughter of a big clan in the south, and Xu Mingyun can be regarded as a good match, this child has both children, and even has grandchildren, and she can be regarded as a wishful blessing.
The only thing is that this Mrs. Xing is jealous, in order to prevent her master from stealing, she even placed eyeliner in the outer study, and Xu Mingyun's various actions that day were fully known to her.
Knowing that his master actually had shameless thoughts about Mrs. Lan, Mrs. Xing was furious in her heart!
At the moment, I couldn't sleep well for two nights in a row, and I couldn't bear this breath, so I specially held another rose party, invited all the ladies who got along, and the distinguished guests in the capital were happy together.
Beforehand, Mrs. Xing had made a plan with the two best ladies to make Mrs. Lan's mother and daughter lose face at the banquet today.
Don't say what kind of daughter you are, when you arrive in our Dayuan, knead it round and flatten, that's not a matter of one sentence?
The introduction of the words started from Lan Jiarou.
Mrs. Xing took advantage of the ladies to see the ceremony, so she deliberately pulled Lan Jiarou and asked if this and that was so affectionate, and the meaning of the words was to find a daughter-in-law for her younger son.
Mrs. Lan thought about it, her own family is a concubine, if the Xu family is also a concubine, it is not impossible to achieve her good deeds.
But as soon as she opened her mouth to ask, Mrs. Xing hadn't spoken, and Mrs. Lu, who was beside her, said in great surprise, "What? The third lady is a concubine? ”
"How can that work?"
"Xu Liugongzi is a son-in-law, and his identity is not a good match."
Another Mrs. Chen also said in advance, adding fuel and vinegar: "It's strange to speak so quietly and stingy, I have been doing it for a long time, I am a concubine, let's see, Miss Lan Wu was raised by Mrs. Lan to be generous and dignified, these three young ladies shrank their hands and feet, they don't look like a person, they are really a mother's heart......"
If a few ladies talk about this behind their backs, it is actually not a big deal, after all, the women in the courtyard of the deep house, when they have nothing to do, they are idle and knock their teeth.
Talking about the east family, the west family is short, it is also a common thing, which is completely understandable.
But if you want to say it so bluntly in front of others, the nature is very different, it is simply a deliberate provocation and a deliberate slap in the face.
Lan Jiarou was still shyly smiling, this would be a red face, tears flowing, and a whispered defense, "No, no, my mother is very good to me......"
She was scared in her heart, and she looked even more cowardly, and in the eyes of others, she was so pinched by her grandmother that she didn't even dare to look at it.
Mrs. Lu became more and more proud, and pulled Lan Jiarou for a while, "Oh, look at the cute little appearance, obediently, don't be sad, it's just that Xu Liugongzi can't climb high, but I have a nephew, who is sixteen years old, and he is also a talent......"
Is this actually a matchmaker who pulls the media to talk about fiber?
Mrs. Xing looked at Mrs. Lan's flushed face, and looked at Lan Jiayin with a smile in her heart, and said, "In my opinion, my little six and Miss Lan Wu are more compatible......
