Seeing that Ji Lao was so happy, An Ran also smiled, "Then you talk, I'll help my aunt cook." ”

"I'm sorry for you, Mrs. Wei." Ji Lao was really happy, and all his worries were solved.

An Ran waved his hand, "You're polite with me?" ”

After speaking, An Ran left with a smile, before going to the kitchen, An Ran went to the side room where Liu Yan lived, and saw Liu Yan lying on the bed with a pale face, An Ran asked, "How is it?" Yan'er? ”

"Godmother, I'm fine." Liu Yan squeezed out a smile towards An Ran, "The child has been beaten, but he still has some stomach pain." ”

"Have you drunk the brown sugar water?"

"Drink, godmother, you don't have to worry about me, I used to be fine by myself, and now I have godmother to take care of me, how can something happen?" Liu Yan didn't want Lin Wan'er to stay in her room for too long, Wei Lin came back, he liked to follow Lin Wan'er, if Wei Lin knew about her fetus, then she really wouldn't have the face to see this godfather again, "Godmother, I just heard that there were guests at home, you go and get busy, don't neglect the guests." ”

"Okay, then you have a good rest, I'll cook for the guests." An Ran touched Liu Yan's forehead, and her body temperature was normal, so she was relieved to go to the kitchen to help.

Wei Lin and Ji Lao drank tea and talked about some things in the capital, the prince is also in a difficult situation now, and Pi Guo has a lot of headaches, Ji Lao said: "General Wei, in fact, there is another reason why I don't let you go to the north." ”

"Is Ji Lao because of Cui Yan?" Wei Lin asked.

Ji Lao nodded, "Yes, after this person fled, he began to recover the old department, and there were already four or five teams of troops who defected to him, if it weren't for that General Yan who suddenly defected to Cui Yan, the situation in the north would not be so bad, but fortunately, there are still you and your husband and wife in the court, which really helped me a lot." ”

Wei Lin saluted Ji Lao and said: "Ji Lao, you and General Situ and I are not only the grace of knowing each other, but also the benefactor of my Wei Lin, as long as Ji Lao and the prince can use my Wei Lin and his wife, my Wei family is duty-bound." ”

"General Wei, you're welcome." Ji Lao helped Wei Lin up and said with emotion: "We just want to make this country better, so that the people of Pi Country can avoid the suffering of war and have the same goal, admire each other, everyone will come together, and today is also to talk to General Wei, how can we, the current emperor, have the ability to govern this country?" The reason why Cui Yan was disposed of by the emperor was not that he was too ambitious and endangered the emperor's imperial power, so he would use you to bring down Cui Yan, but he didn't expect Cui Yan to escape, so he was afraid that King Ling was the crown prince, and the emperor also wanted to make the prince the target of the public. ”

"If the crown prince is not able to clean up the mess of this country, the emperor will have a reason to deal with the prince and me, and you will not be a threat, if you have the ability, General Wei, the prince is afraid that it will be more dangerous."

Ji Lao said the uneasiness in his heart in front of Wei Lin.

"Ji Lao is worried that after we help the prince clean up the trouble, the emperor will compete with the prince?" Wei Lin frowned.

"After all, he is still the emperor, even if we are strong enough, the prince's situation will be like walking on thin ice, the slightest mistake, the emperor will depose the prince, the emperor does things according to his own preferences, and he is very scheming." Ji Lao has dealt with the emperor for so many years, and he knows the emperor's temperament very well, so his worries are not unreasonable.

An Ran came in with the dishes, and just heard Ji Lao's words, so he put down the dishes and said: "Ji Lao doesn't have to worry, if the emperor wants to find the prince's stubble, it's a big deal that we can just oppose him, and we don't have this strength." ”

Ji Lao was taken aback, "Mrs. Wei, you can't say this, this is a big rebellion." ”

"What's the big rebellion? The king is unknown, the minister can be disloyal, the father can be unkind, the son can be unfilial, since ancient times, the emperor is not even willing to go to the early dynasty, reigned for 30 years, for the people of Pi can do a thing that benefits the country and the people? On the contrary, the prosperous era of the emperors of the Pi State was ruined, making the people miserable, the prince was benevolent, sympathetic to the people of the Pi State, and he took on this devastated country at a young age, so that such a benevolent monarch is worthy of being the emperor and seeking benefits for the people. ”

Ji Lao was in tears by An Ran's words, the prince deserves the word Renjun, although he agrees with Mrs. Wei's words, but he still has his own concerns, "But the anti-emperor will also give the world a bad disease." ”

"What kind of disease, it's not forcing the palace to rebel and killing the king, it's just putting pressure on the emperor and abdicating the emperor, what can the world say?" An Ran said disapprovingly.

Ji Lao and Wei Lin were both stunned, and Ji Lao laughed, "Wei Lin, why have all my worries become very easy to deal with when your wife makes them?" You're a great lady. ”

Wei Lin's eyes were full of admiration, and he said softly: "The lady is really powerful." ”

An Ran smiled embarrassedly: "What am I so good at?" It's just that you are bound by your own traditions, and you can't jump out of your own circle, and I'm different, I don't like to be bound by some rules. ”

"Mrs. Wei is high." Ji Lao felt that he had gained too much from this trip to the south.

"Let's eat." An Ran was afraid that they would praise her again, so she hurried to serve the food.

Wei Lin opened a jar of good wine, "Ji Lao's heart knot has been opened, just stay in the south for one more day, tomorrow there will be a big scene in Nanyang Town, all rehearsed by the lady, Ji Lao can take a look, it will be more comfortable." ”

Ji Lao asked: "Big drama? What big play? "Parkway

Wei Lin helped Ji Lao pour wine and said: "I don't know the specifics, but I heard them say that it is very good-looking, Ji Lao should join in the fun, anyway, your worries are solved, you should give yourself a bath when you come, relax and relax, and return to the capital to assist the prince with all your might." ”

"I don't care, I'm just afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will worry." Ji Lao was worried about the prince.

"The prince is not worried, and it is not bad for this day, when Ji Lao returns to the capital, tell the prince these news, the prince's worries these days will definitely turn into happiness, Ji Lao, it's rare to come here, just stay for another day." An Ran also stayed with Ji Lao to watch a scene and then went back.

Ji Lao couldn't stand the retention of Wei Lin and his wife, gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay, then I'll stay for another day, see what big drama Mrs. Wei has arranged, and go back to talk to the prince, it's a big deal, old man, I'll hurry up to see the prince." ”

"That's too hard, Ji Lao." An Ran said with a smile.

Ji Laoyi waved his hand and said: "Hey, what's so hard about this, old man, I am also a military general, although I am old now, but riding a horse is no longer a problem, in fact, I am really curious about a strange woman like Mrs. Wei, I can come up with so many wonderful tricks, I really want to see it again." ”

An Ran's face was about to make Ji Lao blush, and Wei Lin didn't hide it from Ji Lao: "The reason why my lady wants to make a big show is also because after the southern border was besieged for a few months, the shopkeepers are struggling to run their business, so the lady wants to use the big show to attract more people to watch the play and help the shopkeeper relieve the pressure." ”

"Oh?" After listening to Wei Lin's words, Ji Lao admired Mrs. Wei even more.

An Ran saw these two people looking at him like little fans, and he was really embarrassed, "You drink, drink." ”

The next day, under the guidance of Wei Lin, Ji Lao went to the largest open space in Nanyang Town, and built a platform next to the open space, and placed a few tables and chairs next to the platform, placing hot tea and various snacks.

An Ran arranged here early in the morning, and when he saw Ji Lao coming, he hurriedly led him into the middle of the seat, "Ji Lao, sit here, you can see it most clearly." ”

"I'm really bothering you to make such a careful arrangement." Ji Lao is grateful.

An Ran saw that Ji Lao was polite to her again, "Ji Lao, don't you still treat me as a family?" I am a junior in front of you, and what I should do for you is also what I should do. ”

Although Ji Lao and Mrs. Wei have not been together for a long time, they found that Mrs. Wei is a very frank person and does not like others to be polite to her, so he smiled and said to Wei Lin: "General Wei, you have married a good wife. ”

"Hmm." Wei Lin nodded modestly at all.

The play opened, with the noise of gongs and drums, the protagonists of the opera appeared one after another, An Ran and Chen Xiang sat together, looked at the crowd behind, and said, "There are quite a lot of people." ”

"Can it be more? Your Mrs. Wei personally asked everyone to publicize, don't the people of Nanyang Town work hard, every household calls relatives and friends, and the whole town is busy with this matter these days. Chen Xiang said with a smile.

"It's also the folks in Nanyang Town who support me." An Ran was quite moved.

When the opera reached its climax, all the people watching the opera below shouted and their blood was boiling.

Ji Lao had never seen such a wonderful opera, his eyes were straight, and he said again and again: "When the situation in the capital is stable, I must ask Mrs. Wei to take these people to the capital for the prince to see, and the prince must be happy to see it." ”

Wei Lin snorted, Ji Lao is really a person who cares about the prince, and thinks about the prince in any good thing.

After singing a day's play, the people watching the play were still unsatisfied, so they had to wait for tomorrow to watch it again, Ji Lao heard Mrs. Wei say that he was singing another opera tomorrow, and he wanted to stay, but he couldn't let go of the prince, so he had to say that next time Mrs. Wei would personally bring someone to sing for him and the prince.

When An Ran and the others returned home, they saw that Liu Yan had already gotten up from the bed, and her complexion was not bad, so An Ran could rest assured, so she said to Ji Lao: "Ji Lao, can you help me bring someone back when you go back to Beijing tomorrow?" ”

"Bring one? Who? Ji Lao asked.

Wei Lin was also puzzled and asked, "Who does the lady want to let Ji Lao return to Beijing?" ”

I didn't hear the lady discuss this matter with him.

"My righteous daughter." An Ran ignored Wei Lin, pointed to Liu Yan in the courtyard and said to Ji Lao: "Ji Lao only needs to send my righteous daughter to my second uncle's house in the capital, and someone will take care of her." ”

It turned out that the lady was sending Liu Yan to the capital, or not, Liu Yan was really not suitable to be with them, if it wasn't for the fact that the lady accepted her as a righteous daughter, he wanted Liu Yan to leave the Wei family and send her to the capital.

As soon as Liu Yan heard that her godmother was going to send her to the capital, she ran over and asked, "Why did the godmother send me away?" Didn't Yan'er say it? Filial piety by the side of the godfather and godmother all his life. ”
