Chu Junlan arranged the affairs of the family, and Chu Cailiang called Aunt Su to explain.

Aunt Su was still waiting for the power to be in her hands, but who knew that the power could not be completely handed over to herself at the moment, which really disappointed her.

It turned out that Aunt Wang was there, and she was crushed, but now that Aunt Wang is gone, the Sun family is gone, and Chu Junlan is almost no longer from the Chu family, so she still has to be pressed?

Aunt Su's face was a little ugly.

Chu Cailiang saw Aunt Su putting on a face for Chu Junlan and Chu Huating in front of him, so he said in a deep voice unhappily: "If you don't like it, I'll go back and arrange Aunt Lu." ”

Aunt Su was taken aback, hurriedly gathered her thoughts, and squeezed out a smile: "No, no, no, what's not like the concubine?" The concubine was just too pleasantly surprised. I always wanted to do something for the house, but now I finally have a chance. Besides, the concubine had never managed the affairs of the family before, and the eldest young master was only eight years old and had seen people, and it was the honor of the concubine to be able to ask for advice at any time. ”

"That's good." Chu Cailiang slowed down his expression at this time.

Aunt Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in her heart: The atmosphere of this family has really changed, now I am looking at the face of the third lady to live, and I will have to look at the face of the eldest young master in the future, and I don't know when it will be a head.

"Third Miss, the slave maid bought someone and came back, and now she is in the outer courtyard." After a while, Zi Yan replied in front of the courtyard gate.

Chu Junlan got up with a smile and said, "Father, eldest brother, I'll go out and take a look." ”

"I'll go with you." Chu Huating stood up.

Chu Junlan smiled, "Big brother, let's take a look at the account books first, if you have any questions, I'll come back later, you can ask me." ”

Chu Huating also nodded, anyway, it was just two subordinates, and it was not a big deal.

When Chu Junlan came to the outer courtyard, he saw a man and a woman standing in the courtyard in half-new cotton clothes, the man was in his early twenties, and the woman was fourteen or fifteen years old, all dressed cleanly, and their appearance was also very delicate.

"That's a good job." Chu Junlan smiled and praised Ziyan.

Zi Yan smiled shyly, she chose people according to Chu Junlan's requirements.

"It's good that the young lady is satisfied."

As soon as the words fell, I heard a rude knock on the courtyard door.

"It's coming, it's coming! Who is it! Menzi was startled, dropped the tea bowl and ran out of the gatehouse.

"Squeak" opened the door, and before he could see who it was, he was pushed away by a strong force, and he took a few steps backwards and fell to the ground, "Hey, hey! You're trespassing! What to do! ”

The visitor did not answer, and the tide rushed in.

The person at the head is none other than Duan Zhiheng.

Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows in confusion, and said with a smile: "What's the matter?" Why did Master Duan suddenly remember to break into my house? ”

Duan Zhiheng saw Chu Junlan, lost the politeness of the past, and said in a tough tone: "The imperial court arrests spies from other countries, and the orders from above cannot be let go, and Miss Chu's family is naturally inevitable." He arched his hand and said arrogantly, "Please don't blame Miss Chu." ”

Chu Junlan bent his knees: "Lord Duan is serious, since you have official business, please do it yourself." ”

"Okay." Duan Zhiheng sneered, "I heard that the house bought two new subordinates? ”

Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows, nodded and said, "Yes, I don't know which national law has been violated by buying people?" ”

"Buying people is naturally not illegal, but it depends on who you are buying."

Seeing Duan Zhiheng's attitude, the Jinggi Wei and the others chose a few angles in the courtyard to stand still, completely blocking Chu Junlan's possible escape in all directions.

Chu Junlan found the movements of these people out of the corner of his eyes, sneered in his heart, and didn't know what he did on his face: "The subordinate I bought was to ask the maid to go outside to choose, I want to go to the Maoguo Mansion, thinking that I want to bring two henchmen, the Maoguo Mansion is high, and the selection must also be a flat head and a straight face." ”

As he spoke, Chu Junlan turned around and waved his hand: "Zi Yan." ”

"Yes. Miss. Zi Yan was a little nervous, her voice trembled a little, she came forward and saluted, turned back to Duan Zhiheng and said, "My lord, the two people selected by the slave and maid are here." ”

Duan Zhiheng followed Zi Yan's finger and saw a man and a woman standing aside, looking stupid.

Striding past, Duan Zhiheng unceremoniously grabbed the hair of the young man and the girl and forced them to raise their heads.

Two delicate faces collided into sight, Duan Zhiheng looked at them carefully, pinched their faces again, as if judging whether there was any disguise, and finally ripped open the neckline of the young man.

Seeing that the skin on the young man's chest was clean and there were no external injuries on his body, Duan Zhiheng slowly let go of his hand and stood up straight to look at Chu Junlan.

Chu Junlan frowned in displeasure: "What's the matter, Lord Duan can see that there is something wrong with them?" If there is anything wrong with them, you just have to take someone to interrogate, and I just bought them, and when my little girl goes to buy someone, there should be many people who can testify, and I have nothing to do with them before. ”

Duan Zhiheng's face sank like water and circled around the two of them.

"You, what's your name, how old are you?"

The young man swallowed his saliva nervously, and stammered a little, "Go back to the adult, the little one is twenty years old, and he is called Tie Niu." ”

"My lord, I, the slave is called Osmanthus, fourteen."

Listening to their accents, Duan Zhiheng's eyes were gone.

These two people could never be from the Northern Yuan.

Duan Zhiheng turned around and said, "If Miss Chu doesn't mind, can you allow the search of the house." ”

"Your Excellency, be light." Chu Junlan stood aside with a faint face.

Gyeonggi Wei got Duan Zhiheng's order and rushed into the mansion.

During the time that Chu Junlan was in charge, the few people left in the family had long been accustomed to asking Chu Junlan for ideas about anything, and they came with people from Jinggi Wei, and the subordinates did not go back to Chu Cailiang and others at all. Now Duan Zhiheng's people broke straight in, shocking the family.

After all, the people who came to the house twice after passing by Jinyiwei to "raid the house" were almost frightened.

The ladies hugged each other in a panic, and Chu Mengying and Chu Huazhang rushed to the courtyard with their subordinates.

Chu Huating was immediately shocked when he saw that there were Jinggi guards coming to search, and rushed to the front yard with Chu Cailiang to ask what had happened.

Duan Zhiheng stood with his hands in his hands, full of authority, and did not answer.

When Chu Cailiang saw Duan Zhiheng's face, his heart sank, and he almost burst into tears on the spot.

"This, this is ...... Our family has never dared to do anything! ”

Duan Zhiheng still didn't answer.

The Gyeonggi Wei used neat methods to search the Chu family up and down, even the cellar where winter vegetables were stored in the kitchen and the well in the backyard were carefully checked.

"Your Excellency." Gyeonggi Wei arched his hand and shook his head at Duan Zhiheng.

"Are you sure?" Duan Zhiheng raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, sir."

Duan Zhiheng's face finally softened, and he turned to look at Chu Junlan, and his smile was as gentle and polite as before: "After the search, since it can be determined that there is no abnormality, it is fine." We are also on routine business, and please don't blame Miss Chu. ”

"It's not to blame, it's not to blame." Without waiting for Chu Junlan to answer, Chu Cailiang had already given up again and again.

Chu Junlan couldn't get used to Chu Cailiang's groveling appearance, but she also knew that now was not the time to offend people like Duan Zhiheng.

She smiled and said, "Lord Duan is serious. The purpose of Gyeonggi Wei arresting criminals is also the Dayong Dynasty and the people, and we have no ability, so we can only cooperate with the court and act as a submissive citizen. ”

The corners of Duan Zhiheng's mouth twitched, the words were good, why did they sound so awkward?

"I'm sorry." Duan Zhiheng waved to all the Jinggi Guards, and the Jinggi Guards lined up neatly and left with Duan Zhiheng.

This group of people came without warning, and they went like a gust of wind.

The owners of the house and the few remaining subordinates were panicked, and Aunt Su had just gained power, and said loudly: "What should you all do, what should you do, the search is over, and you don't see anyone coming to our house to get people, it means that it's okay, go back, go back." ”

But even if Aunt Su said this, the people were still frightened and gathered together to discuss today's events.

Aunt Su realized that perhaps managing a family's inner house was not an easy task.

Chu Junlan said to Chu Cailiang and Chu Huating: "It's nothing, they are also routine, these days there are Gyeonggi guards everywhere in the city, saying that they are mixed in with the meticulous work of individual countries." The matter of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is near, and it is also nervous to come to the imperial court. ”

Chu Cailiang and Chu Huating both heard that the envoys of the Northern Yuan Dynasty had entered Beijing to ask for the seal, and now that they thought that it was about the two countries, they also dispelled their doubts.

And Chu Junlan deliberately confused the public, and did not say that they were searching for two people, but used "the details of individual countries mixed in" to fool the past.

Chu Huating and Chu Cailiang were a little worried, obviously worried about the country and the people, and they went to the study of the outer courtyard to discuss the recent affairs of the imperial court.

Chu Junlan told Liang Hui: "Don't worry, you just let everyone perform their duties, it's just a routine inspection." ”

Liang Hui immediately nodded and went down on an errand.

Chu Junlan called Tie Niu and Osmanthus to the guest house together.

At the same time, she asked Zi Yan to run to the palace with two medicine bags: "You go and send a medicine to the prince, and the method of medicine has been written on the paper package." ”

Zi Yan nodded, didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly asked the family to send her in a car.

Gongding Palace, Jingxuan.

Xiao Xu had already changed into a new crescent-white plain brocade robe when he got up early, his hair was neatly combed, and he was reading a book in the room while waiting for Chu Junlan to come to the door.

Today should be the day she came to see him.

Everyone knows that even if his "stupidity" has been cured, there are still many things that need to be strengthened with medication.

It's just that no one came until noon, but it was Zi Yan who waited.

"You're coming alone?" Xiao Xu looked at Zi Yan expressionlessly.

Zi Yan was looked at by his cold gaze, felt that there was a cool breeze on her back, nodded and said: "Originally, our young lady was going to come, but today the government came to Jinggi Wei to search, it seems that she is catching spies from other countries, and Miss is going to hand over the right cards again, and the family really can't leave, so I asked the slave to bring you the medicine." ”

Xiao Xu frowned, lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then stood up and instructed Jingyu: "Prepare the horse." ”

"Shizi?"

Xiao Xu didn't say a word, and took the lead in going out, leaving Zi Yan standing in place with a puzzled expression.

The medicine has been delivered, and the prince doesn't look at how to use the medicine, how can he say that he will leave?
