Chapter 8 Let's make a bet, how about it?
For Lan Jiayin's sudden idea, Mrs. Lan is supportive, her maiden family Chongbei Hou Mansion is a fierce military general who follows the Holy Ancestor to fight the world.
Don't look at the current Mrs. Lan is dignified and elegant, she can be described as a model of aristocratic ladies, but when she was a child, she also had a horse step and practiced the Liu family's marksmanship, the eldest son Lan Hongxu and the second son Lan Hongsen are also both civil and military.
Earlier, when his daughter was seven or eight years old, Chongbei Hou wanted to send a martial arts master to his granddaughter, but Lan Jiayin at that time was playful and lazy, and when she heard that she wanted to practice martial arts and endure hardships, she immediately pretended to be sick, which made Mrs. Lan and Mrs. Chongbei Hou feel distressed, and her martial arts practice was over.
After many years, he proposed to practice martial arts?
Mrs. Lan couldn't help frowning and said: "You are now twelve, and you have passed the best age to practice martial arts, if you really want to learn, I am afraid that the hardships you will suffer will be much greater than when you were a child." ”
"My daughter doesn't want to be a martial arts master, so she wants to practice boxing to keep fit, don't be like the four sisters, she gasped without taking two steps." Lan Jiayin has a bottom in her heart, and her answer is also reasonable.
In order to make a living in her previous life, she followed her eldest brother, and also went into the mountains to hunt, went down to the river to catch fish, and the bow and arrow were already good, if she strengthened her physical strength, it would be even better.
"Sister Yin wants to be a martial arts master again?" The door curtain flickered, and the two brothers, Lan Hongxu, the second son of the Lan family, and Lan Hongsen, the fourth son, entered the door.
The brothers all asked Mrs. Lan to say goodbye, and Lan Hongsen looked at Lan Jiayin, who was born a stick of incense earlier than him, and teased: "I remember that you just said a few days ago that you want to be the most powerful rabbit lamp master, what?" Changed your mind again this month? ”
Lan Jiayin was saluting her eldest brother, and when she heard this, her face turned red, and she said with a straight face: "Those who love their relatives dare not be evil to others; Respect your relatives, don't dare to be slow to others, as a younger brother, you don't salute your sister when you see it, call her by her name, and deliberately laugh, is this how your famous gentleman taught you? ”
The room was suddenly silent, who doesn't know that the fourth son is used to laughing at his sister who loves to mess around?
In the past, when Lan Jiayin heard this kind of words, she must have been noisy and coquettish, and then Mrs. Lan came out to persuade peace and wipe the mud.
But today, why is Miss Fifth serious?
Mrs. Lan and Lan Hongxu looked at each other inexplicably, and the spirit of being a son was to relieve his mother's worries, and he cleared his throat and was about to speak out.
But Lan Hongsen took the lead, this look was different just now, he saluted Lan Jiayin very respectfully, and said very seriously: "My sister reprimanded me very much, it was my brother who was rude, so I will compensate you, but my sister always does things in a hurry, and it is often only three or five days of heat, and it never lasts long." ”
"If that's the case, why bother my grandfather? My brother and brother already have a martial master, why don't my sister follow nearby? ”
For this sibling brother, Lan Jiayin was actually stunned in his heart, this child is the same as Lan Zuoxiang, born with reading materials, entered Taixue at the age of nine, became the youngest student in this dynasty, and was also accepted as a disciple by the famous Zhuyuan monk, and he is also a talent that everyone knows in the capital.
But although he is good at reading, he is too sharp and straightforward, and he only looks down on this sister who only knows how to have fun and does not seek any progress, and he does not have the respect he deserves.
When the Lan family was exiled, the original pride of the sky became a grain of sand on the ground, and Lan Hongsen's character became more and more unruly and weird.
He stopped studying, so he took pleasure in ridiculing and ridiculing his brothers and sisters, and everyone was afraid when they saw him, so they took a detour from afar.
So how to get along with his younger brother, Lan Jiayin also thought hard for a long time, but fortunately, this kid is not perverted yet, and it is still somewhat useful to use the words of a saint to deal with him.
Seeing that she had won the first battle, Lan Jiayin also chased and beat hard, she bent her knees and replied: "Dare to let my brother know that what my sister is asking for this time is a female gentleman, after all, there are many people in the outer courtyard, how can my sister go often?" ”
"As for things not going to last long, can my brother dare to make a bet with my sister?"
Lan Hongsen reads and understands etiquette, and he still agrees with Lan Jiayin's point of view, and he unconsciously said: "My sister is reasonable, but my brother is negligent, although the gentleman does not gamble, but this time you might as well make an exception, sister, please speak up." ”
"Well, you said that I am hot for three or five days, then we might as well limit it to January, if my sister and I persist, then I win, otherwise, my brother you win, is this a lottery" Lan Jiayin's eyes rolled around, clapped his hands and smiled: "Why don't you let the other party choose an item at random in their respective rooms, how about it?" ”
Although Mr. Lan Hongsen is not an official in the WTO, there are many disciples who are officials, and as Mr.'s favorite little disciple, he has never given less good things, don't underestimate those lonely books and other things, if they are sold, they are worth more than gold, silver and jade!
Lan Jiayin has long been thinking about his brother's study, but Lan Hongsen is a family, unlike Lan Hongxu's study, anyone can enter, his study is often guarded by a small servant, it is difficult to get in, and it is even more difficult to take away things!
It's better to take this opportunity to take the sword off the rails, thinking that the result of this bet will not only make her brother have a better opinion of her, but also make her have more stockpiling in her box.
Where can Lan Hongsen think of his sister who is dressed in fine clothes and food, and has such an idea?
There was almost no entanglement, so he nodded and agreed, and later waited for the third lady Lan Jiarou to ask for peace, and the mother and son went to the old lady's courtyard.
Lan Jiayin took the opportunity to squeeze together with Mrs. Lan, and talked about Shi Quan on the way, Mrs. Lan was so persistent about her, she was very puzzled that she had to let the slave become a civilian.
In the current world, high-ranking minions are even more powerful than petty officials, if Shi Quan is a person who can read, then it is normal to let him go free for the sake of the imperial examination.
It's just that this person is used to bullying people, so he relies on the power of his master to fight bravely outside, and you force people out to be civilians, isn't this a way back?
Lan Jiayin has her own reasoning, "Who said that if you don't take the imperial examination, you don't need to be free?" ”
"I think Brother Quan is quite suitable to do patrolling, do you think, the eldest cousin is the commander of the White Tiger Battalion, in charge of the northern city of Nuoda, let Brother Quan go in on an errand, that's not a matter of words?"
Mrs. Lan looked at her daughter's eyes and suddenly became profound, this child is really surprising, just now he was not noisy and Sen'er reasoned about things, and this little head moved to his nephew again.
Is this still the Miss Lan Wu who comes first in fun, second in eating and wearing, and third in sleeping?
"Okay, why do you want to let my brother go on an errand?" She suppressed the surprise in her heart and asked in a steady tone.
Lan Jiayin said with a smile: "It's not because of Jinzhu? ”
"You also know that my daughter and her eat and live together, the name is the master and servant, but they are like sisters, I originally thought that if the nurse was willing to get rid of the slave status, she could let Jinzhu find a good family, with you, let's find a sixth, seventh-grade petty official, then it can still be difficult?"
"But the nurse has a tendon, she doesn't agree, then the daughter can only save the country with a curve, if the whole brother can get a serious errand and be motivated in the future, Jinzhu can marry even more, in the white tiger camp of the eldest cousin, there are not too many good men."
"This kid is actually thinking about this" Mrs. Lan sighed unconsciously, consciously thinking too much, and said with a smile: "You are a good master with affection and righteousness, or not, for the sake of your recent progress, my mother will fulfill your wish."
After that, he also gave the youngest son of Xiao Liu's mother in the outer courtyard, Yu Cheng, who was over ten years old, to Lan Jiayin, this child has followed him as a procurement father since he was a child, and he walked West Street through East Street, he was very clever, and he also saved his brother, and his daughter was unavailable.
Lan Jiayin was very happy, she originally wanted to mention Mr. Xu's matter, but this would be suppressed, anyway, the whole brother can already go out openly, and there is a little clever ghost around him, so he doesn't have to worry about no one spying on his third uncle.
Why should this be too much to make my mother suspicious in vain?
Change must also be gradual and gradual, and if you pounce too hard all at once, I am afraid that it will be counterproductive.
As for the third room, in the end, there were two vigils and three mothers and maids on the stove.
Needless to say, in order to make Mrs. Lan's heart balanced and no longer hold on to the poisoning, the position of the housekeeper's mother was vacated on the stove, and she let Mother Zhou beside her take it.
It can be regarded as buying peace with money.
