When the holy decree arrived, all the people in the Wenxin Marquis Mansion gathered in the front hall to receive the decree.

The eunuch unfolded the bright yellow scroll and read it aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, An Shilan, the daughter of An Shiting, the head of the household book, is virtuous and dignified, with a noble character, and has won the favor of me and the queen mother. ”

As the last sentence fell, the entire Hou Mansion fell into a dead silence.

The third lady tugged at An Sanye's ears, unable to believe that what she heard was true.

"Lord County, take the order." The eunuch said with a smile.

Everyone woke up like a dream, clasped their heads and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Many people showed irrepressible joy on their faces.

An Ruolan stepped forward to take the holy decree, even if she held the holy decree tightly in her hand, she was still in a dream.

Rao is no matter how lonely she is, and she knows that the county lord is only the third grade, she just entered the palace once, and she was sealed as the fourth grade, she can't do it if she is not surprised.

The old marquis politely invited the father-in-law to come into the house to drink tea, and the gentlemen in the house all went in to accompany him, An Ruolan was surrounded by a group of aunts and sisters, and her ears were filled with congratulations.

However, she was not happy, and the decree did more harm than good to her.

How the Marquis of Wenxin Mansion celebrated with joy did not mention.

As soon as the decree was issued, the news spread and the whole city was in an uproar.

An Ruolan is a popular figure in Shengjing's boudoirs, first she was succeeded by her own mother, and then she became the righteous daughter of the famous Zhong Siye, and now she has been named the county lord of the fourth grade, which can be said to be out of the limelight, it is impossible to say that no one is jealous.

It's just that no matter what they think in their hearts, now the ladies of the family have to accompany An Ruolan with a smile.

As soon as the news spread, the Wenxin Marquis Mansion was like a city, and there were many people who came to congratulate them, and there were many people who came to ask for relatives, and there was an endless stream of guests every day, almost flattening the threshold.

The old marquis smiled from ear to ear, but An Ruolan didn't even dare to take a step out of the door since then.

The Imperial Palace, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Emperor Wanhua sat on the dragon chair, and the fold in his hand did not open it for a long time, and Wei Guogong was bored and rubbed the horse chopping knife in his hand, also absent-minded.

The palace is heavily guarded, and those who can carry weapons in the palace are the only ones who can carry weapons in the palace, except for the current saint's brother King Jin, and there is only one person, so you can imagine why the ministers of the court and the central government look down on Wei Guogong so unpleasantly.

Suddenly, the two looked up at each other at the same time, one casually threw down the fold, the other put the knife into the sheath, and said at the same time: "Since you are so idle, why don't you help me ......"

Before they finished speaking, both of them stared.

Emperor Wanhua slapped the table and shouted: "Bold, dare to be disrespectful to me!" ”

Wei Guogong glanced at him lightly, "Your Majesty said first." ”

Emperor Wanhua bowed his head in satisfaction, got up and walked around the imperial case for half a circle, and said, "For example, if you suddenly find out that you have a long-lost niece, what will you do?" ”

After that, he pretended to be calm and coughed lightly with his fist to his lips.

Wei Guogong raised his eyebrows without a trace and asked, "Always tell me why I was separated." ”

"Thrown by your stupid brother." Emperor Wanhua's face darkened.

"Oh." Wei Guogong responded lightly, slowly pulled out a small half of the cold glittering knife, and said with a calm gaze: "Chop up your brother." ”

"I'm assuming your brother." Emperor Wanhua twitched the corners of his mouth.

"The minister knows, so the minister will take good care of her, and he won't cause trouble for her like His Majesty." Wei Guogong put down the knife, and comfortably picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Hearing this, Emperor Wanhua snorted disdainfully: "You don't understand, I have my own plans." ”

"If you have a plan, you still ask me what to do? Pure idleness. Wei Guogong pursed his lips, sat up slightly straight, and said sternly: "Your Majesty, please find an opportunity to help me connect with Lord Zhou." ”

"When did you become interested in Fox Zhou? Isn't it the most disgusting thing about the literati? Emperor Wanhua waved his hand again and again: "I am not a ...... of the moon that pulls the strings."

Before the last word could be spit out, Wei Guogong's knife had already been unsheathed, and Emperor Wanhua immediately changed his words: "What are you looking for Zhou Yuhan for?" ”

Wei Guogong put away the knife and snorted: "Naturally, it is for the second young lady's business." ”

Second Miss is Wei Guogong's affectionate name for his daughter.

Emperor Wanhua knocked on the table and said, "I heard that the second lady of your family has a good relationship with the lord of Chenshuang County?" ”

Wei Guogong nodded, not only did his daughter have a good relationship with the newly sealed county lord, but his kid also missed the county lord of Chenshuang.

Emperor Wanhua's mind turned, and he smacked his tongue and said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, Wei Qing and wait, I will send a message to summon Zhou Aiqing into the palace." ”

Zhou Yuhan was summoned into the palace, and the three of them did not mention the secret discussion.

Besides, Zhong Siye returned to Beijing for more than half a month, but he only saw An Ruolan on the first day of returning to Beijing, and he couldn't wait for An Ruolan to go out for a long time, so he had to visit the Hou Mansion in person, and by the way, he took An Ruolan to Qianxunju to live for a few days.

This time, he will stay in Shengjing for about a month, and he will naturally have a good opportunity to cultivate a relationship with his daughter.

Although the old marquis had a grudge against Zhong Siye because he couldn't interfere in He Ji's business during the time when An Ruolan took care of He Ji, he still looked up to Zhong Siye very much, and An Ruolan had just been named the county lord, and the old marquis was happy in his heart, and after Zhong Siye came to the door, he received an unprecedented warm reception.

It's just that when Zhong Siye proposed to take An Ruolan to live in Qianxunju, the old marquis became perfunctory, first talking about him left and right, and then acting as a reason: "The nephew also knows that Sister Lan's identity is different now, and she should be more cautious in her words and deeds, if she leaves the house lightly, I am afraid that it will cause gossip." ”

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Zhong Siye's face was much lighter.

Arching his hand respectfully, Fourth Master Zhong smiled and said: "Shi Bo is reasonable, and the little nephew agrees very much, but the little nephew is Ruolan's father-in-law, if Ruolan suddenly becomes estranged from the little nephew after winning the reward, I am afraid that outsiders will spread that Ruolan is proud and complacent, and even his father-in-law will not recognize it." ”

Hearing this, the old marquis's heart sank, and the hand stroking his beard paused.

No one in Shengjing City knows that Zhong Siye has spoiled his righteous daughter, if An Ruolan really has a little estrangement from Zhong Siye after being crowned the county lord, I'm afraid it will be more than just gossiping.

After a little hesitation, the old marquis bowed his head and said, "What the nephew said is good. ”

Immediately showed a relieved smile and said, "In this way, Shibo doesn't have to be embarrassed, you can take Sister Lan away." ”

The gentler the smile on his face, the more annoyed he was in his heart, he had heard a lot of flattery and flattery recently, and the old marquis was obviously respectful to Zhong Siye, but in fact he was very dissatisfied with his threatening and aggressive attitude.

Zhong Siye doesn't care where he is, as long as he can take his good daughter out of the Hou Mansion, he can't do anything to the Hou Xinhou.

After a long time of gossiping, Marquis Wen Xin dragged on and sent someone to inform An Ruolan.

At that time, An Ruolan was hiding in the room to practice calligraphy to pass the time, and when he heard the word, he immediately jumped three feet high, cheered and beckoned Bailing and Qinghu to pack his luggage.

Seeing that she was sullen in the room all day, Liu Shi was already distressed, and he was very happy when he heard the words, and stroked her long hair and said, "It's okay now, you and Master Zhong will not be bored and panicked." ”

"Mom, come with me, the Hou Mansion can't stay during this time." An Ruolan took her hand and shook it.

Before Liu could answer, the green eagle smiled and said, "Miss, isn't it enough for you to have me and Bailing with you?" ”

An Ruolan frowned, she didn't say anything about bringing the green vulture with her.

Liu Shi saw her thoughts, patted the back of her head gently, and said, "Qing Vulture, stay in the mansion, and I will go to Qianxunju with Miss." ”

"Huh?!" The green vulture looked up in surprise and said eagerly: "But I have always been with Miss Bailing before!" ”

"Before was before." Liu waved his hand, and just wanted to take out some of the old man's shelves to suppress the green eagle, An Ruolan took the first step, hugged the green eagle's arm and said coquettishly: "This time I want my mother to accompany me, good sister of the green eagle, you can let your mother accompany me." ”

"This ......," the vulture hesitated.

If the Liu family uses power to suppress her, she still has an excuse to refute and accuse the Liu family of bullying her, but it is her master who is speaking now, and she is still so good-natured, if she refuses, I am afraid that she will be accused of not knowing what to do.

Seeing that the benefits that were about to arrive flew away for no reason, the green eagle hated her teeth in her heart, and then thought about it, in the future, she would have more opportunities to go out with Miss, and she was not in a hurry this time, and if she gave in, Miss might compensate her.

After thinking about it, the green eagle showed a gentle smile, and pretended to be aggrieved and reluctantly said: "Since Miss wants Mother Liu to accompany her, the slave has to stay in the house." ”

An Ruolan grinned and pulled Liu to pack his luggage.

The smile on the vulture's face froze, what about compensation?

After packing up the luggage, An Ruolan first went to Murong's place to report, got the right card and asked Bailing to call a carriage, and then went to say goodbye to the old lady, talk to the old lady, and wait for Bailing to come back, she asked people to go to the front to pass the word.

It took a long time to go back and forth, and by the time An Ruolan left the house, it was already close to noon.

Xinyueyuan, hearing the news of An Ruolan's departure from the house, Meng couldn't help but say angrily: "Since Lan'er is already the county lord, she should be more cautious in her words and deeds, clean herself, she often messes with foreign men like this, do you want her reputation anymore?" ”

After saying this, Xia He couldn't help but defend An Ruolan and said: "Fourth Master Zhong is the father-in-law of Miss Six, I don't think outsiders will talk nonsense, and besides, Fourth Master Zhong is very good to Miss Six, if Miss Sixth is the county lord and doesn't care about Fourth Master Zhong, I'm afraid it will cause gossip." ”

Xia He knew very well in his heart that the fifth lady was not happy because she saw the sixth lady to salute now.

Hearing this, Meng Shi was even more furious, picked up the teacup and smashed it on Xia He, and said angrily: "Whose maid are you?!" You don't even take me seriously, do you?! I worked hard to raise her, and now I can't say a few words about her, right?! ”

"Madame, rest your anger!" Xia He begged for mercy again and again, but he didn't dare to hide at all, and let her punch and kick.

It should be said that Xia He is used to it.

"Madame!" Qiu Ju entered the door with the newly sent post, and shouted in surprise when she saw this, hurriedly pulled Xia He aside, squeezed out a smile: "Madam, look, another Madame has invited you to the banquet!" ”

Meng Shi was really diverted, snatched the post from Qiu Ju's hand, and gasped slightly: "You look down on me, but others treat me as a bodhisattva!" There was a twisted smile on his face. R1152
