Now that it has been decided, Yang Lan no longer regrets it, and immediately set out to let Zhang Lu's daughter-in-law pack fresh melons, fruits and vegetables, Xu's mother also came over, looked at the things and nodded with satisfaction, "Good boy, you are doing very well, go to the old slave will make it clear, I heard that there is a brother in the Li family who reads very well, and the second daughter-in-law of the Li family is also a knowledgeable person, this melon, fruit and vegetable is sent over by our Hou Ye, it is a little heart of the in-laws, and it is also made up for the brother and sister!" ”

Yang Lan smiled with satisfaction, she didn't go to catch up with her cousin, for the sake of the Li family, Cousin Li couldn't see clearly, and she looked down on her own family, but Yang Lan didn't think so, as the old saying goes, don't bully young people and be poor, she heard her mother say that her cousin and aunt still have some knowledge, she is very strict with her son's upbringing, and she is also very good at reading.

The drum does not need to be hammered, some words do not need to be said too clearly, and the things are delivered to the heart.

"When my mother came to the door, I was relieved! I've heard that the elder brother of the Li family is the left minister, as long as he is not a person who can't get on the wall, then the future can be less? My cousin can't see clearly, but our family can't easily make enemies, a little thing is not worth anything, but our family must have an attitude, I also wrapped a pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and a set of four books and five classics, you help me deliver a word, maybe in the future will be my brothers' colleagues! Yang Lan whispered in Xu's mother's ear.

Mother Xu looked at Yang Lan appreciatively, her eyes were full of surprise, and she said again and again: "Don't worry! The old slave must bring the words and do things properly for you. ”

Yang Lan smiled sweetly. Wrap your arms around Mother Xu. "I told my grandmother. My grandmother said that when my father came back, I would pick up my cousin and let her stay for a few days to celebrate my father's and brother's triumph, which was also a good reason. ”

"Well, that's how it should be, how can there be a child who doesn't want to go home? That's weird too! Mother Xu had a deservedly expression.

Yang Lan nodded in agreement and sent Mother Xu away. She felt that her cousin was really on the tip of the horns, and the Li family was certainly not as rich as the Hou Mansion. But it is by no means a poor family with no foundation at all.

At that time, the family that my father chose for my aunt was also carefully selected, and the Li family was a Qingliu family, and it was also a big family in Shandong, but their branch was just a branch, but the family also had a lot of connections in the court.

Although the Li family seems to have lost its amazing talents after his uncle left, the second uncle of the Li family is also a down-to-earth person, but he is not as brilliant as his uncle. Otherwise, he would not be able to be a four-grade Beijing official, but he has not been squeezed out for many years, which shows that he still has some ability.

Especially the mother of the second aunt of the Li family is the daughter of the Jiangnan Wang family, how can the daughter who taught her be mediocre? How can you worship Zuo Xiang as a teacher? There's no power in it. Who believes?

My cousin has such a good prerequisite, but I don't know how to use it, so I will win over my aunt. I have been taking care of it for several years, waiting for the title of the Li family's brother's gold list, isn't that my brother, can I not support her? Then there is the relationship between the Yang family, she has to be smarter, in the future, her brother will have a reputation, and she can take the initiative to come over to help her brother say a favor, and she will work in the Hanlin Academy for three years to get her qualifications, and take the initiative to hand it over to her aunt, can the aunt understand?

It is a popular saying in officialdom since ancient times that non-Jinshi will not enter Hanlin, and non-Hanlin will not enter the cabinet, which shows the status of Hanlin Academy in the officialdom.

The Li family is her cousin's own family, but she doesn't know how to have a good relationship, blindly dislikes the Li family's poverty, and bullies her own aunt, which really makes people feel cold, I remember that when she first came to the Yang family, the clothes were also very good, and the jewelry was also bright, I think it should be the Li family's aunt to prepare, no matter what, the aunt did not treat her badly.

After all, it's not your own mother, you can't ask people to invest all their time and energy in their niece, and it's inevitable to ignore it, but on the big picture, she hasn't been wronged, and it's really chilling for her to do so.

Yang Lan walked slowly in the yard, but Biyun heard clearly what she had said to Xu's mother just now, and asked suspiciously, "Miss, but it's for the sake of the young masters that she befriended the Li family?" ”

Yang Lan smiled, "I didn't think that far, I just think that since we are relatives, people have not offended us, why can't we maintain good contacts!" What's more, I heard that the elder brother of the Li family is also very good at studying, and now he is a person, not in vain. Maybe in the future, I will work with my brothers in the same dynasty, you must know that our family is a military general, and it is slightly weak on the road of civil officials, once the fathers and brothers have something to do in the previous dynasty, if there are a few civil officials with sharp mouths to help us say a word, the effect will be different!

What's more, it's still a relative! Isn't it stupid to spend money to find foreign aid when you don't need a great opportunity! You think that my father has been giving money and things all these years, and it is really just for my cousin alone, then you are wrong, for her to live better, of course, there is this consideration, but it is by no means completely for her, and I don't want to be estranged from others because of my aunt and uncle's departure, and there are many friends and many ways in the officialdom.

I didn't understand these truths before, my father and mother were not there, and I just began to think twice about many things, and I gradually understood in my heart, some things can't just look at the surface, there are often bottom, two, three, or even more involvement, which may not be able to be taken on the surface. So what did my father do before, what I have to do as a daughter, this gift should be prepared for the New Year's holiday, and it should be prepared, and the gift should be sent early, and it should be sent to make people feel comfortable. ”

Biyun nodded thoughtfully, it seems that Miss has really grown up, she didn't think about everything so meticulously and comprehensively before, but it wasn't like this two years ago! I've seen a lot of things after going out of the city, and I've thought about everything.

"If the cousin comes to the Yang family again, there will be disputes again, so Miss should stay away from her!" Biyun still doesn't like Miss Biao very much, she hates the poor and loves the rich, she bullies others, and it makes people uncomfortable to look at people with her nostrils.

Yang Lan smiled indifferently, "It's a big deal that I'm staying away from her, I'm just for my brothers to make more friends, but not for her, her elders are naturally in charge of her affairs, and it's not my turn, I'm just sending a Dragon Boat Festival gift to my relatives according to the old practice, what can I do!" ”

Biyun smiled brightly, but did not mention this topic again, but talked about another thing, "If you want to talk about the festival of the Dragon Boat Festival, Princess Ping'an is indispensable!" ”

"Well, I want to send a copy to Aunt An, and I want to do the same with Aunt Ping'an, I can't make a mistake! I've written the list, you can order the things clearly, and I'll send them over together in the next two days! Send a clever mother-in-law or servant to make things clear! Yang Lan said.

"Yes, don't worry, Miss, you won't say the wrong thing."

Yang Lan went back to the house, and Biyun and Biyue went to count the gift carriages, and they couldn't make mistakes with the numbers and names, and if they made mistakes, they would make jokes and offend people.

Biqing lifted the curtain and came in, and replied, "Miss, Steward Yang is here, I have something to see you!" ”

Yang Lan raised her head, her eyes lit up, and she said in a deep voice, "Go and let Steward Yang in,"

"Yes."

"Steward Yang, please come in, Miss is waiting for you!" Bi Qing let Steward Yang in.

Yang Lan found that Steward Yang's face was gloomy, and there seemed to be anger in his eyes, and he immediately said to Biqing: "You go and make me a pot of tea, take some of my master's tea to brew, and wrap some for Uncle Yang to take away when he leaves." ”

Bi Qing immediately understood that this was to speak alone, and she didn't want to be disturbed, so she immediately answered and went out.

I didn't rush to make tea when I went out, but I watched the stove move a small stool and sit far away, watching the door not let people in.

"Uncle, is there something wrong? But what's going on outside? Is it for Daddy? Yang Lan's brows furrowed, this was the only thing she could think of, making Steward Yang so angry must have nothing to do with her father.

Yang Lan's face turned pale, and she clutched the armrest of the chair tightly, could it be that her father was ......, and her heart sank inch by inch, not daring to think about the worst situation.

Steward Yang understood that Yang Lan had misunderstood, and took a step forward, his voice was calm and powerful, and he said in a low voice: "Don't think about it, it's not like that!" It's best news that your father doesn't have news now! I'm here to talk about something out there. After speaking, he looked at Yang Lan with a blazing look.

Yang Lan raised her hand and touched her face, her throat moved to ease her emotions, and she calmed down and asked, "What can you say?" The voice was noticeably calmer.

Steward Yang nodded slightly, and then spoke, "There are rumors outside that Master Hou and the Second Young Master treason and collaborated with the enemy and ran away with the warship, so there is a matter of disappearance." Now there are rumors all over the capital, as if they came out overnight, and even the Di Bao is also talking about it, which caught me off guard, you and the old lady are going to enter the palace during the Dragon Boat Festival, I am afraid that someone will embarrass you ....... ”

Yang Lan lowered her head and pondered for a long time, going through all the possible characters of her Zhilu Dao, and then raised her head and asked, "Whose manpower is Zhilu Dao?" What's the news coming from the barracks? What's going on in the court? What does my uncle have to say? Can the official have an excerpt of impeachment? Is there a letter from my second uncle? What is the purpose of doing this? Want more military power? Who is the biggest beneficiary? ”

I only felt that my brain was confused for a moment, she tried to calm herself down, and it was difficult to see clearly for a while, so she always had time to think about it.

"The second master came to the letter half a month ago, and the letter will not be received until the beginning of the month at the latest, and now there are many imperial officials who have impeached the Yang family, and the second master has also been impacted. However, the emperor did not say anything about it. Recently, King An has been in southern Xinjiang, and I heard that it was very unpleasant to have a quarrel with Nan Anhou, and the second prince invited himself to Jiangnan to take care of Yanzheng, but the emperor did not reply. "Steward Yang said something else, but he had a close connection with the court

"Besides the second prince, can there be other people?" Yang Lan could only stabilize herself as much as possible. (To be continued......)
