Chapter 36 Preemptive strike
As soon as Lan Jiayin's words fell, Hu Qinghui's crying gradually became smaller, and there was a look of anticipation in his tearful eyes looking at his friend.
Cui Yu, Cui Huan, who was waiting on the side, saw Lan Jiayin's words that made his master cheer up, and he was not surprised, and the look on his face unconsciously brought a little respect.
I secretly feel that my own lady's handkerchief is really amazing, with such a helper, why worry about Mrs. Hu's restlessness?
"I want to fight, push myself and others, but think about what kind of life my brother and sister-in-law lived, pity my nephews and nieces, they are about the same size as Mrs.'s children, and I don't know how many grievances I have suffered on weekdays." In the end, it is difficult to calm down, how can Hu Qinghui not cheer up for the only brother?
Lan Jiayin smiled with satisfaction and instructed Cui Yu, "Don't fetch water yet, wait for your young lady to clean her face first." ”
When he was young, after tidying up, Lan Jiayin whispered to his friend to analyze, "I have only met Mrs. Hu a few times when I went to the banquet before, at most it is just a courtesy and a few kind words, today is the most talked, so I don't necessarily know more about her than you." ”
"However, I can imagine that what this person did was nothing more than for her children, after all, she is younger than Uncle Hu, and your brother is so much older than her children."
"In order not to be restrained by your brother and sister-in-law in the future, then she has to firmly control Shangshufu in her hands, judging from the fact that the post I handed over was blocked, and your sister-in-law didn't even see her face today, she has done quite successfully"
"But your return to Beijing has caused the biggest variable, between her and your brother, there is no doubt that you will only choose your brother, if your brother and sister join forces to deal with her, there may not be no chance of turning the tables."
"So dealing with you, that's an inevitable thing, you need to know that Uncle Hu never cares about the affairs of the backyard, your marriage is tantamount to pinching in her hands, and it is not impossible to control you."
After hearing this, Hu Qinghui took a long breath and said clearly: "So she borrowed you to give me a warning first, so that I could know who had the final say in the current Shangshu Mansion, and designed Mother Chen, so that I knew that our lives were in her hands." ”
"Well, whether Chen's mother was designed or not, you have to wait for the doctor to come to know what it is, for the time being, only the first point is completely valid." Lan Jiayin patted Hu Qinghui on the shoulder, and did not approve of the random conclusions, Chen's mother's matter was too coincidental, and it still needed real evidence to succeed.
Hu Qinghui nodded lightly, "Okay, thank you, I was so confused just now, if you didn't wake me up with your words, I'm afraid my end won't be good." ”
Lan Jiayin smiled and blinked, and said mischievously, "Do you just use your mouth to thank you?" Anyway, bring me the good snacks from the south. ”
Everyone laughed, and Cuihuan said with a smile, "The things that our young lady brought to you are full of two large boxes, and I sent someone to deliver them to the house in the morning." ”
"As for the dim sum, aren't they all on the table?"
"Fifth Miss, you only cared about talking to my young lady, didn't you notice?"
Lan Jiayin covered her mouth and smiled, pointed at Cuihuan and said: "This girl is good, just like my Jinzhu's temper, she is a person with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth and a heartfelt protector of the Lord." ”
As he spoke, he asked Qingluo to give her and Cui Yu a purse containing a butterfly inlaid silver hairpin.
The two girls thanked happily, and Cuihuan couldn't help but instruct again, "Fifth Miss, you can taste the dim sum, it's about to pass the rice, and it's not good if you can't eat for a while." ”
Lan Jiayin smiled and nodded, and dug some with a silver spoon to taste the taste.
Hu Qinghui personally brought tea to her, and inevitably asked Lan Jiayin how she was doing, and the two chatted, but they didn't realize that time passed quickly.
After the lunch was finished, someone outside came in and replied, saying that the doctor had already shown Chen's mother, not that the water and soil were not adapted, but that they had used unclean things, and the medicine prescribed last night was not right.
Ordering the doctor and ancient books to be rewarded, Hu Qinghui gritted his teeth and said: "It's really a move over there, if you really do it three days later, Mother Chen will definitely not be able to save it." ”
"It's not necessarily impossible to save your life, but people like us, the people who serve are seriously ill, most of them have to be moved out to raise, as long as it is delayed for three or five months, the people around you are almost taken care of by her, even if you put it back, it is just difficult to support it." Lan Jiayin felt that Mrs. Hu would not cause a life lawsuit.
Lan Jiayin's meaning, instead of passively waiting for people to make trouble, it is better to take the initiative to attack, Mrs. Hu can handle nothing more than those two things, one is food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the other is to lead Hu Qinghui out to the banquet and make friends.
Today's matter, Hu Shangshu can't let it go lightly, first take the opportunity to make a small kitchen for Qingfen Xiaozhu, and then take the opportunity of Mrs. Hu's mistakes to settle down, so that Hu Qinghui can take the first step.
After the New Year, I begged Mrs. Lan to let Hu Qinghui live in Zuo Xiang's Mansion for a few days, and Mrs. Lan took the two of them out as guests.
By the time Hu Qinghui got off to a good start in the circle of nobles in the capital, Mrs. Hu had already lost the opportunity no matter how much she schemed.
Both of them are smart people, they have a plan to discuss and have a bottom in their hearts, but it is worth the trip.
When she got home, Lan Jiayin told Mrs. Lan what happened to Hu Qinghui and knew that there were two brothers on the side to help, and Mrs. Lan felt countless pity for this girl who was oppressed by her stepmother.
not only promised to take Hu Qinghui to live in the house after the New Year, but also promised to take Hu Qinghui to participate in Princess Jinyang's annual Baimei banquet.
The Baimei Banquet is one of the six major banquets in the capital, and the princess invites only 100 guests every time.
Fortunately, Mrs. Lan and Princess Jinyang are friends with each other, and she also occupies a place on the banquet list every year.
Returning to Jinyunxuan's warm pavilion, Lan Jiayin couldn't help but think, "With such a strong network of relationships among the elders in the family, why wasn't the Lan family rescued when they were in trouble?" ”
"There were few people who came out to help speak, and there were many people who were implicated by the Lan family, so it became the biggest case of the year."
"Could it be that my father was not only implicated in King Yan's rebellion at that time?"
As soon as she thought of this, Lan Jiayin felt irritated for a while, and called out to Jinzhu, who was sending gifts to Hu Qinghui to classify them, and asked her to go home first, and ask Shi Quan how he was staying in the North Inspection Courtyard recently, and let Yu Cheng come in by the way.
Originally, I wanted to ask if there was any new news outside, but unfortunately, neither Shi Quan nor Yu Cheng made any progress.
My third uncle has only met Mr. Xu two or three times so far, and every time he eats and drinks at Baiweiju in the south of the city, although the time is not short, but he never runs around.
And because they have been meeting in the private room on the third floor, where the management is strict, Yu Cheng pretended to be a servant to explore inside, and the best one was only to mix on the second floor, and there was a special person on the third floor to take care of it, so there was no chance to go up at all.
It's been so long, and it's a fake to be clueless, and it's fake not to be depressed, but Lan Jiayin is riveted this time, and naturally it is impossible to be knocked down by this setback.
Her advantages are not comparable to ordinary people, and at such a critical moment, she must analyze calmly and treat it calmly.
Lan Jiayin looked at the jumping candle flame on the bookcase, as if she saw the distant future through the flames, silently calculating everything.
