Chapter 330 - Decision (2)
The autumn sun hangs in the sky, and the light is sprinkled in the small pond of the courtyard, and the eyes are full of sparkling golden light. Gongsun Lan carefully walked around the courtyard, explained to Ah Tan a few things that needed to be changed, and then returned to the flower hall.
Yang Zheng's affairs had been explained, but he held a letter in his hand and handed it to Gongsun Lan.
Gongsun Lan took it in surprise, and saw that the handwriting on the thin paper was beautiful and beautiful, which was Fang Qingxue's pen and ink. She quickly looked up and down, and said in surprise: "Qingxue was canonized as Princess Gaoyang, and she wants to marry Yasukuni?" ”
Yang Zheng said: "Since Da'an has married Baimeng, in order to balance the relationship between the three kingdoms, it is not surprising that he will marry Yasukuni, but this candidate is not expected by you and me." ”
Gongsun Lan frowned and nodded, and said: "Indeed, the emperor's new ascension to the throne is not suitable for making a big move, so he can only maintain a peaceful situation, stabilize the imperial power as quickly as possible, and remove the filth and moths in the court." But...... Why did you choose to clear the snow? Don't...... Is it because of her brother? ”
"Yes, Fang Qingai is the eldest son of Lord Fang, he is young and promising, but he was blinded by the power of King Duan for a while, although the emperor forgave his sins, but the Fang family also needs to make up for his mistakes, otherwise, the Fang family is afraid that it will be difficult to serve the court with peace of mind."
I didn't expect that a person as soft and indisputable as Fang Qingxue would sacrifice his happiness for the sake of his family after all. However, Gongsun Lan looked at the other party's words, and there didn't seem to be any sad words of loss, although he was reluctant to give up his parents and brothers, he was still full of curiosity and excitement about Yasukuni, and he was even more happy to be able to reunite with Gongsun Lan.
She said: "Xiaoxiao and Qingxue, one jumps out and the other is weak, but if something really happens, Xiaoxiao is more sensitive and fragile, but Qingxue can deal with things calmly and face them positively." ”
Yang Xiao nodded with a smile and said, "Speaking of Cheng Xiaoxiao, there is another good news for you. ”
"Huh? What's the good news for Xiaoxiao? ”
"She and Ji Yun have already set a family relationship, and the date is set for next spring."
Gongsun Lan's eyes widened: "What? She...... With Big Brother? The two of them...... When was this? ”
Yang Xiao said with a smile: "It was Ji Yun who personally asked for the will and asked the emperor to give him a marriage." ”
Gongsun Lan was stunned for a long time, then suddenly bent his eyes and laughed, and said, "I don't know, when did he fall in love with Xiaoxiao?" No wonder when we left Beijing, he looked at me and stopped talking, afraid that he wanted to talk about it, but then he talked about something else, and he passed away. Gongsun Lan thought of this and showed a little loneliness, and said, "Next spring...... It's a pity that I can't see them marry with my own eyes. ”
Yang Zhen looked at her and said: "Although I can't watch them get married, after the two get married, Cheng Xiaoxiao will follow Ji Yun to Tongyang Pass to guard, and when the time comes, I can go to meet them." ”
Gongsun Lan nodded with a smile and said: "Originally, two people from different sides of the world can get together in a blink of an eye, which is indeed gratifying, but it's a pity that Yuanyang married Baimeng, and I don't know what her situation is at this time." ”
"Nagari also has a heart for Yuanyang and will always take care of her, and besides, there are also people from the Star Guard Camp in Baimeng, so it is not difficult to know her news."
"Hmm." Gongsun Lan listened to his words, and her heart was suddenly touched in an instant, as if she was worried about something, what she would worry about, the other party had already known and found the answer in advance, and informed her at the right time. Such a sense of security was given to her by herself in the past, but now, she is a little dependent on each other.
"You're in Gongsun Mansion, how are you doing?" Although Yang Wei knew that Gongsun Lan had the ability to solve troubles, he still couldn't help but worry. "Gongsun, a century-old family, is not just talking about it, compared to the Yan family and the Song family in Da'an, it is even better, and the twists and turns inside will be difficult to sort out for a while."
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, even if it can be consistent with the outside world when encountering major events, but it is impossible for there to be no contradictions within the family without contention, and those things hidden under the sophisticated and sleek way of doing things are indeed difficult to see clearly, and some old grievances need to be dug up a little bit before you can see the doorway.
"For the time being, everything is going well. If no one provokes me, I will not move, but if anyone does not know how to lift, I need not be polite. "Although Gongsun Lan is already a rightful fifth lady at this time, she is still excluded from the family." In the entire Gongsun family, except for the old lady, I can still take care of me, the big house, the second room and the third room have their own small families to maintain, where will I really be integrated, showing favor and wooing cannot be regarded as close at all, let alone telling me some family secrets and details. ”
And the biological mother who is closest to her by blood has only seen two sides at this time.
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "Listen to what you mean, do you want to stay?" ”
"It's not necessarily necessary to stay, but some things must be decided, such as the third princess." According to the previous inference, Gongsun Lan knew that between her and the third princess, it was not just a little holiday now, everything Yan Hong did to her was manipulated by this woman behind her back, how could she make the other party feel better?
Yang Zhen pinched the blue and white tea cup with three fingers and turned it gently, and the colors of the two compartments were reflected in one place, like endless spring smoke and rain. "This third princess, judging from the means of her actions, is decisive and ruthless, resourceful, and ambitious. What she is planning is not only to overthrow the imperial power of the world. They also want to encroach on Da'an, and the other hundred leagues are also subjugated to Yasukuni. ”
Gongsun Lan looked at Yang Zheng, and the two smiled tacitly. Gongsun Lan said: "It seems that in public and private, we can't let her succeed." ”
The goal of the two reached an agreement, and the happiest person was naturally Wansheng Daoist, who held back for a long time and listened to the two of them speak unhurriedly and unhurriedly, and he was anxious enough. This meeting finally came to a conclusion, and he said: "In this case, the two of you should not act lightly in the family, the girl is still simple, as long as the little girl of the Gongsun family is prevented from plotting your family affairs." ”
Gongsun Lan was greatly embarrassed when she heard this, and twisted her face to the side. Yang Zheng's eyes lit up, and he decided to talk to her later, saying that it was not a matter to avoid talking about it like this.
Wansheng Daoist's attention was on the matter that Nangong Lie explained to him, and he didn't notice the feelings flowing between the two for a while, and continued: "Yang Zheng is a little difficult here, the competition for the secret master of the Nangong family, even the head of the family can't go his own way, and he will definitely want the young masters to make meritorious contributions on their own, and if they can make useful contributions to the family, they will naturally be recognized." ”
Gongsun Lan said curiously: "Could it be that the Nangong family has clearly listed various tasks to calculate the credit?" ”
Wansheng Daoist nodded widely: "So to speak." ”
Yang Zhen asked directly: "So what is the most difficult task to complete in the family now, and what is the most meritorious task after completion?" ”
Wansheng Daoist looked at the two people in front of him and suddenly became a little excited, and said, "I know that you are not even safe. He snorted twice and said, "However, the first three tasks are really difficult...... The first is to regain the seal of the Dark Lord from the hands of the Ming Emperor. ”
Gongsun Lan looked at Wansheng Daoist and said with disdain: "I have been doing it for a long time, and the seal is not in my hand, what else do you want to choose......
Wansheng Daoren said embarrassedly: "Uh...... In fact, I also proposed to engrave another piece and abolish the original one. But the seal of the Ming Emperor and the Dark Lord is made of flying stones outside the sky, and there are only two of them in the world. Precious and rare are still secondary, but if we change them, wouldn't we be one level lower than the Ming Emperor? ”
Gongsun Lan pouted and said, "To die is to save face and suffer the crime...... And what about the second mission? ”
"The second one is the thief who seriously injured the head of the family back then!" When the Wansheng Daoist said this, there was a little hatred on his face, and he said: "If it wasn't for being fundamentally injured, the head of the family would not have reached such a point at all. ”
"Who's that man?"
"It's the master of the third princess, Tie Meizi."
It's the Three Princesses again! Gongsun Lan raised her eyebrows, it seems that they are good three princesses, and they are really a narrow family! "Nangong Lie's injury, can't even you do it?"
Wansheng Daoist sighed and said, "It's not that there is no way, but there is one less medicine lead, and his name is Hai Luozhi." This third task is to find this medicine. ”
"Hai Luozhi?" Yang Zhen looked puzzled, he had never heard of this thing.
Gongsun Lan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can Hai Luozhi cure Nangong Lie's illness?" ”
"Well, I also searched through the classics to find such a thing, maybe it will be useful for the old illness of the head of the family. But I never knew what Hai Luozhi was, I only knew that it grew on the bottom of the sea, not to mention how difficult it was to go down to the bottom of the sea to find something, I couldn't even be sure what this thing looked like......" The old man of Wansheng was very worried about Nangong Lie's body, and when he talked about it, his mood couldn't help but drop.
Gongsun Lan smiled: "Leave this to me." I know what a sea branch is. ”
Wansheng Dao stood up and looked at Gongsun Lan blankly, his excited face was red and white for a while. He knew that Gongsun Lan was not lying to him, but he was afraid that the other party was lying to him. "What you said is true?"
"Well, it's true. Don't worry, I'll get this done, provided you find a way to take me to the depths. Also prepare some small rattan snakes. ”
The vine snake, also known as the green thin snake, is fast and has a strong camouflage, which is very difficult to catch, but for the Wansheng Dao people, it is nothing. He was puzzled: "When you say the little rattan snake, do you mean the young snake that has just hatched?" ”
"Well, Hai Luozhi likes to eat the snout scales of rattan snakes, but the snout scales of adult rattan snakes are very hard, so the snout scales of juvenile rattan snakes are very attractive to Hai Luozhi."
Wansheng Daoist was noncommittal about Hai Luozhi's preference, he was more curious about why Gongsun Lan knew about this kind of thing, but Gongsun Lan was silent, and Wansheng Daoist was also interested in not asking much.
It's just Yang Zheng's gaze, but Gongsun Lan feels that there is no way to dodge, even if the other party doesn't mean to persecute her, but she herself feels that she can't go. After all, Yang Zhen is open and honest in front of her, and there are no secrets. But can you really tell your secrets? Ji Erlan is really not sure, so let's wait for now......
