Chapter 283: See you at the execution ground
As Mama Guo spoke, she looked at Chu Junlan's face vigorously.
Chu Junlan was inexplicably surprised, and when he saw that Xu Shi looked at the content on the "blood book", his face gradually became solemn, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Mother, what is written on this?" ”
"It was Ge Ge Lao, he wants to see you."
Chu Junlan took the rag and saw that the content on it was really as Xu said.
It is not impossible to pass the news out of death row. But looking at this tool for delivering news, you can also see how difficult Ge Ge Lao's situation is now.
A generation of capable ministers, falling into the current situation, is really a king and a loser, which is embarrassing.
"Sister Lan, are you going to see him?"
Chu Junlan handed the rag to Mama Guo and asked her to burn it, and then said, "Behead him at noon tomorrow, and I will send him off at the court tomorrow." ”
Xu nodded: "It's okay." ”
In the early morning of the next day, Chu Junlan took a large cart of gifts prepared by the Xu family and went back to Chu's house first.
Entering the alley and coming to the familiar door of the guest house, Chu Junlan's eyes were a little hot, and he jumped out of the car and knocked on the door in person.
"Big brother, big brother! I am back! ”
"Squeak" The door was opened, and it was Yuan Kanghu who answered the door, and when he saw Chu Junlan coming back, he immediately laughed in surprise: "Third Miss!" ”
Yuan Kanghu's voice was as rough as a bell, and everyone in the house heard it, and the rough maid ran out to salute first, and then saw Chu Huating and Baole walking out of the main room quickly.
"Big brother!" Chu Junlan rushed forward quickly and hugged Chu Huating's waist, "Big brother, I'm back!" ”
Without waiting for Chu Huating's reaction, Chu Junlan took his hand to diagnose the pulse instead, frowning slightly: "Big brother's body is fine, but there is depression in his chest, these days must be unpleasant." ”
Baole said: "The eldest young master is worried about you, you can't eat or sleep well every day, you can't read books, and the eldest young master is in charge of the family, and the life is beyond your means, and the lord and aunt are not worried, where can it be smooth." ”
The situation of the Chu family Chu Junlan naturally knew that the eldest brother had been working hard, and now he was still worrying about her affairs for several months.
"Big brother, it's me who is not good."
"If you come back safely now, I'll be fine." Chu Huating smiled and pinched Chu Junlan's cheek, "When you come back, have you returned to Mrs. Maoguo?" Don't come back privately, lest you upset the prince and his wife, and everything is fine at home, so why should you worry about coming back in a hurry? ”
Chu Junlan was sad when he heard this, and took Chu Huating's hand and went to the house: "Big brother, don't worry, I have returned to Mrs. Shizi, and the car and everything in the back are all prepared by Mrs. Shizi for me to bring to you." She also said that you can't forget your roots, let me come back to see you often, as long as I don't make a big fuss, let people say that I am dissatisfied with the emperor's will. ”
"It can be seen that Mrs. Shizi is a reasonable person, Lan Lan, the more people are like this, the more you have to appreciate it, don't be willful, it is the emperor's intention for you to go to the Maoguo Mansion to be his daughter, if you come back often, it will also cause trouble to the Maoguo Mansion, so don't come back often in the future."
Chu Junlan grinned: "I know, it's a big deal that I'll come back in a night suit in the middle of the night." No one is going to catch me. ”
Bao Le and Zi Yan had already brought refreshments with their hands and feet at this time, and when they heard Chu Junlan say this, Bao Le curiously asked about Chu Junlan's experience outside.
Chu Junlan naturally chose to talk about it in a relaxed and interesting way, and roughly explained what happened.
Bao Le clapped his hands as if he had listened to a book.
Chu Huating sighed: "It's really hard for you." ”
The brother and sister talked for a while before Chu Huating hesitated, "Lan Lan, do you want to meet the master?" ”
Chu Junlan actually has no feelings for Chu Cailiang, and the only thing that can make her care in this family is Chu Huating. But since the eldest brother mentioned it, it is not a secret that she came back, and it was inevitable that Chu Cailiang would find trouble with the eldest brother after she left in the future, so she nodded: "It's okay." ”
Chu Huating smiled and said, "Then I'll accompany you." ”
The brother and sister walked through the corner gate of the guest courtyard into the alley, followed the familiar path through the moon gate, and came to the Chu family's outer house.
After instructing his subordinates to pass the word, Chu Huating accompanied Chu Junlan to wait in front of the study in the outer courtyard.
Not long after, he heard a "bang" bead curtain sound, Chu Cailiang came out of the curtain, and saw Chu Junlan, who was wearing a light lotus pigment satin gown and holding a begonia-shaped fan, standing there.
Although I don't see how jeweled she is, her dress can even be said to be very quiet, but just looking at her demeanor around her, it is very different from before.
Chu Cailiang's heart was sour, how could he use his majesty as a father to suppress the game, but now, Chu Junlan is the daughter of the Guogong Mansion, but he is not even an official anymore......
Could it be that after meeting, he still wants to be a father and salute his daughter?
Chu Cailiang now hates Chu Junlan, I don't see how much she brought to the family, but she was convicted, and the family suffered, and she has to come back now to show off her might!
"I've seen the master."
When Chu Cailiang was struggling with whether to greet first, Chu Junlan had already taken the first step to salute.
"I haven't seen you for many days, but my lord has always been good?"
Chu Cailiang breathed a sigh of relief, his lips moved, and he only said "um".
"Seeing that you look good, it can be seen that the life is comfortable, and I am relieved."
Chu Cailiang nodded stiffly, thinking of the trouble caused by Chu Junlan, he still couldn't help but speak: "You have to do more checks in the future, you don't have to be your own family in other people's homes, and you can still do it by yourself." ”
Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows, and then smiled: "What the master said is, I still have a question, how did my mother die back then, do you know?" ”
Chu Cailiang raised his head suddenly, met Chu Junlan's gaze, his pupils suddenly contracted, his lips moved, and he made a voice for a while: "Since, naturally he died by accident." This incident has alarmed the government, can it be fake? You're a woman, and you're always thinking about these things! ”
"Was it an accident? Good. Chu Junlan and Chu Huating were both looking at Chu Cailiang's expression, and his panic just confirmed what Aunt Wang said to her before her execution.
"I'm going to see Ge Ge's whole family beheaded, and if I don't want to stay long, I'm going to leave."
With such a casual expression, saying words like "look at the beheading" made Chu Cailiang tremble.
This dead girl, even a figure like Ge Ge Lao has been brought down, what else does she dare not do, what can't she? Now that he has no power or power, he is inferior to the subordinates of Ge Ge's hometown, how can he afford Chu Junlan's fingers? What does she mean when she asks about the events of the year in person now?
Chu Cailiang stood stunned, as if he had turned into a pillar.
Chu Junlan and Chu Huating went to the noon gate together.
Because of the need to deal with the biggest moth in the imperial court, coupled with the turmoil in the city caused by the affairs of Gege's old family, Chu Junlan and Fu Zhiheng were also involved in the middle, and there were unprecedented number of onlookers who came to watch today.
Chu Junlan squeezed all the way into the front row, and saw that all the men of the Ge family, regardless of their age, were kneeling on the execution ground, all of them unkempt, disheveled, and with guilty cards on their necklines.
The old man with gray hair covering his face was looking left and right, as if he was anxiously waiting for someone, and when he looked up, he saw Chu Junlan who was standing opposite him, his head that had been turning left and right finally stopped moving, and stared straight in the direction of Chu Junlan.
