Chu Yu couldn't help being squeezed by Yang Lan, and it was not good to deal with girls, so he shook his head with a smile, "I don't have the same knowledge as you, Rong Yi, let's drink over there!" Before leaving, he glanced at Yang Lan again, and seemed to have a deep meaning.
Rong Yi smiled, patted Chu Yu's shoulder, and walked away.
When Le'an followed Rong Yi's figure without blinking, his face was a little flushed, there was more regret in his eyes, and he was lonely and expectant.
Otherwise, this gaze was seen by Chu Leyi, who was sitting around the noble girl, thoughtfully.
After eating, Yang Lan excused herself to go around the garden, and walked around the garden with Biyun, guessing in her heart that the sixth cousin came here on purpose, maybe to say something to herself, but because of the inconvenience of many people.
If so, where would he go? Where is the best place to speak?
Yang Lan thought for a while and asked, "Is Yuhuatai the highest place?" ”
Biyun thought for a moment and nodded, "That's right, just now the slave maid saw that Yuhuatai is indeed a relatively high place, Miss is going to go there to have a look!" ”
Yang Lan nodded, took off the earrings on her ears and handed them to Biyun, and said with a smile: "My earrings have fallen, it seems to have fallen off in Yuhuatai, let's go look for them!" ”
Biyun's expression moved slightly, and he slightly retracted the hand with the earrings into his sleeve, "Let's look along the way back just now, maybe we can see it!" ”
"You're right!" Yang Lan smiled with satisfaction.
The two came to Yuhuatai, and sure enough, they saw Chu Yu and Rong Yi there, one fishing. One was hanging out on the side and saw her coming. Eyes lit up.
Rong Yi walked over quickly, and the corners of his lips raised a beautiful arc. The smile is bright and clear, the clear eyes are shining in the sun, flashing dazzling brilliance, and the long and thin figure makes it seem that the jade tree is in the wind and the atmosphere is lofty!
"I knew that you would come, and you thought we would have to wait for a long time? I didn't expect you to be so fast! ”
Rong Yi smiled warmly, like a pearl, dazzling. The voice is clear and warm, like a jade sound, with a clear gentleness.
Yang Lan pursed her lips and smiled, raised her eyebrows and said, "One of my earrings has fallen, Sister Zhou and I were fishing here just now, I came to see if it fell here!" As he spoke, he stretched out his head to see if there was anything on the ground, his eyes searched around, and he used the corner of his eye to find out if there were any others around.
Chu Yu couldn't help but cover his mouth with his fist and smiled sullenly, "Don't look at it." There was no one here, and I let people stay in front of me. ”
Yang Lan saw that her small methods were seen through, so she simply didn't pretend anymore, and spread her hands generously. "Say it! What are you looking for me? Let's talk about things that are beyond my ability first, don't talk about things that damage my Yang family! ”
Chu Yu glanced at Rong Yi and glanced over. Rong Yi immediately understood, coughed and said, "I don't know if you have gotten any news recently." Some news about the outside. ”
Yang Lan frowned slightly, lowered her head slightly, and quickly recalled in her mind what major news she had recently deserved her attention. That's right! There was a famine in Dingzhou, is it related to this incident?
"Is it a famine in Dingzhou? But I haven't heard it's serious, right? But what happened? Yang Lan was obviously a little puzzled.
Rong Yi's eyes lit up, and he secretly admired in his heart, he was really smart and clever, and he was able to understand it at all, and it was really not difficult to talk to smart people at all.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and then frowned, obviously a little worried, "The famine in Dingzhou is not what it says on the surface, in fact, the officials embezzled the grain from the grain depot, and now there is no grain to open the warehouse, resulting in more and more victims, and it is reported that there are many displaced people who have trekked to the capital." Speaking of this, he paused and glanced at Yang Lan, meaning something.
The smile on Yang Lan's face also retracted, her face began to become solemn, and she asked in a deep voice, "How many are there?" Can there be epidemics? Now the emperor's uncle knows the way? Can there be an official who folds the bullet and impeachment? What should I do next? Have you sent people down to help the disaster? Is the capital ready? A litany of questions blurted out.
Rong Yi's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he spread his hands, "No." There was helpless anger on his face.
Yang Lan raised her head suddenly, glared at her eyes in surprise and anger and asked, "What did you say?" No? ”
Chu Yu also stood up, his face was heavy, "No, the people and officials below are very tightly protected by each other, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many homeless people who couldn't cover it, probably we wouldn't know how many people would die in Dingzhou?" Now my father has sent someone to Dingzhou to investigate, and by the way, he has arrested corrupt officials, and he has also sent a senior member of the Qin Mission to help the disaster, but after all, it is a step too slow. Now that the treasury is not very rich, the most important question is, what to do with the displaced people who are about to pour into the capital? Once it is not handled well, it is likely to have a very large impact, and it may even bring epidemics to the people in the capital. What he didn't say was that this matter seemed to be somewhat implicated with the second prince.
Yang Lan was already clear at this time, "You want me to help with disaster relief?" I breathed a sigh of relief, this request was not excessive.
Chu Yu smiled, obviously relieved, "Not bad!" It is not something we can do to arrest and verify corrupt officials, but we can help with disaster relief and appease the displaced people, and it is also a good thing to do well! ”
Yang Lan looked at Chu Yu with a smile, "Oh! That's right! It's me who helps, but it's you who gets the name! ”
Chu Yu was a little embarrassed, his face had a blush that was seen through, and he coughed uncomfortably, "That! I wanted to do something to show my father, but I couldn't do it directly, so I came to ask my cousin! ”
Although Yang Lan was a little displeased, she could understand that after all, this cousin was not too selfish, and he knew that he would do something for the people, which was commendable, and there was less rejection in his heart.
As for doing good deeds, you can still do it, not to mention that you can make a name for the Yang family if you do it well, and you can also accumulate merit for your father and brother on the battlefield and bless them to return safely. Even if my uncle knows about it, it is also the greed of my child's family, and the elders in the family are not there, so it can't represent anything.
Yang Lan pondered for a long time, and then raised her head, her eyes were clear and stubborn, and she said calmly and bluntly: "I can help you contact this matter." But I have a few requests! ”
Chu Yu also had a dignified face, "You say!" ”
"One. It's up to me to run this matter, and if you want to play, play big. As for what I do, don't interfere, second, you have to be responsible for contacting me up and down, dredging all parties, making it less difficult and more convenient; Third, you'd better be in casual clothes for this matter, Rong Yi can appear, but you must not leak your identity and name, and even can't publicize it everywhere. I can't let people know the conversation between you and me, even if you say it, I won't admit it, Yang family, I Yang Lan said it doesn't count. After speaking, she looked at Chu Yu seriously, wanting to see if this cousin was willing to sacrifice for the people, and it would not be good to do this thing without making a name, so it depended on whether he was willing or not.
How many people are willing to do something that is not good? What's more, Chu Yu's original purpose was not like this.
Chu Yu frowned slightly, opened his mouth to say something, raised his head and saw Yang Lan's sneering eyes, and suddenly seemed to be washed away by the flood. I woke up in an instant, and my heart turned back and forth a few times, and my eyes became clear and calm.
"Thank you cousin for your willingness to lend a hand, I grant your request. If you don't leave your name and don't come forward, this matter has nothing to do with me at all, even if my father asks. I would also say that I just read it to Cousin Rong a few times, and I was a little worried. Seeing that you guys contributed money and efforts, I couldn't help but help dredge it! Chu Yu made a gesture in a proper manner.
Yang Lan dodged and retreated. His eyes showed a little appreciation, and he smiled: "It's not in vain that my second brother admires you like this!" My cousin is a frank and decent person, and I am impressed! With that, he turned and left.
"Cousin?" Chu Yu was obviously a little anxious, and he didn't understand why he left without finishing his words!
Rong Yi grabbed him and whispered, "She has promised us!" Naturally, someone will come looking for me. ”
Chu Yu thought about it, then nodded, and said in his heart that he was too anxious, why couldn't he see this!
"She didn't say how to do that? How is she going to play? How big is it? Chu Yu was still a little worried, after all, his cousin was still a little young, and he didn't know if he could afford to do such a big thing for the first time?
Rong Yi looked at Yang Lan's back but showed appreciation, "I think she can definitely do it, even if there is a slight deviation, it doesn't matter, we just have to watch, maybe she can surprise us!" ”
"Hmm!" Chu Yu nodded dispensably.
"If this matter is done well, you will definitely be able to show your face in front of the emperor!" Rong Yi thought about it for a long time and felt that what Yang Lan said was very good, and it was better not to show up and not be famous.
"Who knows what I'm doing?" Chu Yu was a little apprehensive, but he was still willing to do it, and it was good to do some good deeds with his heart.
"No, what the county lord said makes sense, you are not suitable to show up, not at the moment, you are not the prince, even if you become the prince in the future, you can't go past the emperor, she is right. But if you do your best, it is impossible for everyone to see it at all, as long as the emperor can see your sincere heart, it is enough! Rong Yi explained seriously, and the more he thought about it, the more transparent he became.
Chu Yu lowered his head and chewed carefully for a long time, then smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you, you are calmer than me when you are young, the queen mother always says that I am too impulsive and not careful enough!" ”
"The queen mother, I just hope you are better! What do our own families have to thank us, could it be that you are separated from me? Rong Yi squinted at him.
"What nonsense, the relationship between the two of us since childhood, I and those brothers are just face-saving love, don't you know anything about the things in the palace? I won't have anything to do with you! Chu Yu bumped him on the shoulder and smiled.
Rong Yi also responded to him, and the two brothers went fishing together again, as if what had just happened had never happened.
Yang Lan came down from Yuhuatai and walked towards the garden, slowly admiring the magnificent scenery of the garden all the way, thinking about what had just happened in her mind.
Biyun asked aloud, "Miss, why do you want to help them?" There was a look of concern on his face.
Yang Lan smiled and said: "This matter itself is a good thing, it can not only do good deeds and accumulate virtues, but also gain a good reputation for my Yang family, the key is whether I can take the lead, do a good job and my Yang family's reputation can go to a higher level, and it can also make the emperor's uncle feel the loyalty of the Yang family." As for what else has to do with me, I'm not the heir of the Yang family, so I don't count if I say it! "Speaking of the most naughty wink, a rogue look.
Biyun suddenly understood, covered her mouth and smiled, "Miss, you are so cunning, but this is good, we will neither offend the queen, nor will we dislike the emperor, so it's good!" ”
"Exactly! It's good for us to remember to be loyal to the emperor. Yang Lan said slowly. (To be continued......)
