Duan Shaolan took the brocade box from the hand of the Duansu County Lord, the brocade box was slender, Duan Shaolan weighed it, and there was actually a little weight.

"Mother, what's in it here?"

"It was a hairpin in my dowry back then, which I found when I packed up my things a few days ago, and the style is suitable for a young girl's family." Lord Duansu said with a smile. "Originally, I was thinking of waiting for me to enter the palace next time, but now my situation is inconvenient to enter the palace again. But I think you and the princess can still see each other, and it's just right for you to give it to the princess. ”

"My son got it." Thinking about meeting her, Duan Shaolan's cheeks didn't feel hot.

"Mother." Sister Chu looked at her brother's rare shy appearance, covered her mouth and laughed quietly. "The eldest princess will marry Brother Shaoyou in the uncle's room after the year, when will my brother marry the princess sister?"

After Sister Chu first knew that Duan Shaoyou was married to the eldest princess as a concubine, she was so frightened that she had nightmares all night. When I asked the county lord of Duansu to say goodbye early the next morning, I kept yawning, and it was still dark now.

The county lord of Duansu only felt funny, and hurriedly ordered someone to prepare an ice cloth to cover Sister Chu'er's eyes.

Sister Chu has been stupid and timid since she was a child, and she will always be bullied by the boys and girls in the prince's room, Duan Shaoyou has a different temperament from her brothers and sisters, has a gentle personality, is pure and kind, and treats Sister Chu very kindly. Therefore, in addition to his own brother, he is the closest to Duan Shaoyou among the juniors in the Zhenguo Mansion.

When her cousin, who has been quite friendly since childhood, was about to marry the princess she was most afraid of, Sister Chu cried for her cousin several times with real feelings. Sister Chu was almost beaten by the eldest princess back then, and the image of the eldest princess in her mind was really terrifying.

She only thinks that her cousin will marry the eldest princess in the future, and she doesn't know how many miserable days she will have to live, and she feels even more pitiful for her cousin.

Seeing that Sister Chu was sad, the county lord of Duansu told Sister Chu about Duan Shaolan's future princess Zhaoyue's concubine, so as to distract Sister Chu'er's attention.

Sister Chu was happy when she knew the consequences, but because His Majesty had not officially decreed the marriage of Princess Zhaoyue and Duan Shaolan, Lord Duansu did not forget to pull Sister Chu and instruct her to beware of not leaking her mouth outside.

Sister Chu is the most obedient, so she has always kept this happy thing in her heart.

But right now, it is in the second room, and the people who can serve Duan Chengwen and Duansu in the house are all people who can rest assured, Sister Chu said here that there will be no obstacle to the marriage of Princess Zhaoyue and Duan Shaolan in the future.

"Mother doesn't know the exact date." Lord Duansu said with a smile and Sister Chu. "Now that the will to marry has not yet been made, Princess Zhaoyue is only fifteen years old. I guess I'll have to wait until the wedding date of Princess Celestia will end in March next year. ”

Thinking that the marriage of the eldest princess would also fall on the head of the Zhenguo Mansion, the Duansu County Lord, who was still smiling, couldn't help but sigh.

It's a pity that the child is really worthy of the eldest princess.

The sons in law and concubines in the prince's house of the prince of Zhenguo don't say anything about reading, income and the like, and they all seem to be out of tune, and their reputations are outstanding.

Although Shaoyou's ability to study is only in the middle stream, he is better than his temperament, and he is not at all like the parents of Zhenguo Gongzi and Shizi's wife.

"Hey, how long will it take?" Sister Chu sighed as if she was the county lord of Duansu.

Because Duan Chengwen had to rush to the court in the morning, he accompanied his wife and children to have breakfast, and then got into a carriage and left in a hurry.

Duan Shaolan continued to accompany the Duansu County Lord and Sister Chu to talk for a while, the Duansu County Lord watched him drink the first bowl of medicine, and seeing that the effect of the medicine came up, Duan Shaolan gradually became sleepy and couldn't support it, and the Duansu County Lord hurriedly asked people to wait outside to hug the book in.

"Hold the book and send Brother Lan back to the room to rest." The county lord of Duansu ordered Hushu and another servant to help the sleepy Duan Shaolan up. "Brother Lan has been running around for a long time, and he should have a good rest. Brother Lan is used to the two of you around him, so you can just wait for him. ”

"Mother." Duan Shaolan, who was helped to stand up by the two little guys, held up his spirit and said to the county lord of Duansu. "The son will retire first, and then come over to talk to his mother after noon."

"I don't need you to come over to talk to me today, I have Sister Chu by my side." Lord Duansu said softly. "Besides, you're all home, our mother and son have time to talk, and we are not in a hurry to have time today or tomorrow. The most important thing at the moment is that you must take care of your injuries first, and then you can rest in your room in peace for a few days. ”

"Uh-huh, my brother has to listen to his mother." Sister Chu also echoed the Duansu County Lord and said to Duan Shaolan. "Mother has me with me, and when I have free time, I will go to accompany my brother, so that my brother will not be bored when he is recuperating in the house."

Duan Shaolan nodded at this time, and let the two little guys help him back to the room.

Duan Shaolan had to be recuperated in the mansion for five or six days, and felt that his injuries had improved a lot, so he asked Baoshu to go out and arrange a carriage for him, and he wanted to go to Lizheng Street.

When he arrived at Lizheng Street, he saw Duan Chengwen's attendant who had stayed here, and the attendant led him to the courtyard where Qin Ling lived. There are pennant guards inside and outside the courtyard, and Emperor Chu gave an order to save the life of Qin Ling, the chief complainant.

Duan Shaolan was stopped outside the hospital.

"Please rest assured, I just came here to report peace to Qin Ling." Before leaving, Duan Shaolan met Qin Ling once, Qin Ling couldn't let go of the safety of his wife and children, and begged Duan Shaolan to help him inquire about the situation of his wife and children in his parents' house after he went to Jiangnan.

The Jinqiwei sent by Emperor Chu naturally recognized Duan Shaolan and knew that Emperor Chu had sent him to Jiangnan to investigate this case, so he let Duan Shaolan enter the courtyard where Qin Ling lived.

Duan Shaolan stood outside the house and knocked lightly, and Qin Ling in the house quickly opened the door when he heard the sound.

"Lord Xiaoduan?!" After knowing the news of Duan Shaolan's delayed return, Qin Ling was afraid that Duan Shaolan and his party would be poisoned in Jiangnan, and he also knew that Duan Shaolan was the only son under Duan Chengwen's knees, thinking about how he should explain to his friends if Duan Shaolan had something to do. So when he opened the door and saw Duan Shaolan outside the door, he didn't know how happy he was for a while. "You're back?"

"Lord Qin, let's talk in the house," Duan Shaolan was still a little weak after a few days, and now he was still a little tired from standing for a long time, so he said to Qin Ling with a smile. "I have some wounds on my body, and I haven't recovered yet."

"Ah, it's me who didn't think about it." Qin Ling looked at Duan Shaolan's complexion was indeed not as good as before he set off, thinking that Jiangnan and his party were really in danger, otherwise they would not have delayed for several months to return to the imperial capital. He hurriedly turned sideways and let Duan Shaolan into the room. "Lord Duan, please take a seat."

Duan Shaolan was not polite, and after entering the house, he found a place and sat down.

"Lord Qin, because Your Majesty has instructed me to do the case, I can't say anything more to you." Duan Shaolan motioned for Qin Ling to sit down as well. "Today, I'm here to visit Lord Qin."

"The case is serious, and it's inconvenient for you to say that I know." Qin Ling nodded, he really wanted to ask about the condition of his wife and children, but he didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Lord Qin, your father-in-law probably found out something, and after you disappeared, he strengthened the guard of the house, not only did the nursing home increase several times, but also invited some experts in the rivers and lakes to sit in the town. Stopped the people who pretended to be water bandits several times and tried in vain to storm the inner house. Duan Shaolan said bluntly. So before I left Jiangnan, Lord Qin's wife, children, and children were very safe. ”

After Qin Ling fled, in addition to worrying about the future progress of the case, he was worried about the wives and children he left behind. But he really doesn't have enough ability to support them, and if he drags his family out of Huaishu County that day, I'm afraid that their family will die on the way. He had no choice but to send them to his father-in-law's house, hoping that his father-in-law would be able to protect him.

Now that he could learn from Duan Shaolan that his wife and children had been preserved, Qin Ling finally relieved a heavy burden in his heart.

"Thank you, Lord Xiaoduan." Qin Ling escaped from Jiangnan, and he had a rough idea of the dangers that Duan Shaolan and his party might encounter. Knowing that he was investigating the case, he did not forget a small request before his departure, and went to confirm the safety of his wife and children. Qin Ling immediately stood up from his seat and solemnly leaned down to salute Duan Shaolan.

Duan Shaolan hurriedly got up and helped Qin Ling up.

"Lord Qin, why be polite? Besides, you and my father have been friends for many years, and I am a junior, so how can I stand the courtesy of my elders? Duan Shaolan helped Qin Ling to sit down again. Besides, since I went to Jiangnan, it is just a convenient matter to help you confirm the safety of your wife and children, and it is not worthy of such a big gift. ”

"Lord Xiao Duan is too humble." Qin Ling knew that his wife and children were safe, and his eyes couldn't help but redden. "I had to escape from Huaishu County as if I had to fight for my life, and I witnessed the slaughter of two county colleagues, and I knew the danger. Qin has written down the kindness of Lord Xiaoduan, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he will repay it. ”

Duan Shaolan achieved the purpose of this trip, and after instructing Qin Ling a few more words, he left the house and returned to the Zhenguo Mansion.

As soon as he returned to his house with his front foot, Sister Chu came to find him on his back foot.

"Brother, brother, brother." Sister Chu shouted loudly when she entered the house.

Duan Shaolan, who just wanted to lie on the bed and rest for a while, was immediately disturbed by Sister Chu'er and lost his sleepiness, so he had to sit up and let Sister Chu come in.

"Brother, the princess and sister in the palace have asked someone to bring me delicious food again." As soon as Sister Chu saw Duan Shaolan, she hurriedly asked the maid behind her to bring something and come forward to offer him a treasure. "There are several plates of secret candied fruit in it, and I think that my brother now has to drink a lot of bitter decoction medicine every day, so I specially brought it to my brother's sweet mouth."
