Zhen Mingxuan's men were all people who were accustomed to seeing nobles from all walks of life in the capital, and after only glancing at the carriages of the two families, the shopkeeper beckoned to call the servants who specially served the female dependents, and led Rong Lan and them to the private room upstairs.

"I don't know if Miss Rong invited me over, but I have something to say," Mrs. Chen didn't have so much courtesy to Rong Lan, so she stayed in the private room, found a seat and sat down, watching the maid in Cui Yi help Rong Lan untie her hat.

Rong Lan could naturally see the contempt in Mrs. Chen's eyes, and she sighed in her heart, "If my guess is right, Madam originally planned to go to the Eldest Princess's Mansion, right?" But why is it that they are almost there, and they turn back again? ”

Since she made up her mind to attack Li Jingyi, Rong Lan sent people to make great efforts to check the people who Li Jingyi had befriended since she returned to Beijing, and after researching, this mess of Chengenbo Mansion with only an empty shell left was the most in line with her mind.

Rong Lan was thinking about how to befriend this Mrs. Chen, but she didn't expect that God would send her to her eyes, how could Rong Lan let go of this opportunity?

Mrs. Chen's face turned red when Rong Lan asked, "Miss Rong misunderstood, I just had something to do, and I didn't plan to go to the Eldest Princess's Mansion, after all, my poor daughter-in-law has only been 100 days since she died, and although I am a mother-in-law, it is not easy to go out." ”

Rong Lan nodded, and said with a sympathetic expression, "It turns out that the eldest grandmother has passed away, and I ask Mrs. to mourn." ”

"What about Miss Rong? I heard from your servant, you came out of the eldest princess's mansion? Mrs. Chen took the tea offered by the servant, took a sip, and said leisurely,

Rong Lan smiled lightly and waved her hand to Zhen Mingxuan's people to go down, "Don't hide it from Madame, I haven't been able to see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, as for the reason, Madame and Ruihe County Lord often come and go, so I don't need to go into details, right?" ”

This girl confessed, "What is Miss Rong?" ”

"Rong Lan has often been under the knees of the eldest princess since she was a child, to say a big word, His Royal Highness has always regarded Rong Lan as another daughter, this time I am in the capital, His Royal Highness also wants to take me to the mansion," Rong Lan looked sad, "Especially when I went out of the Xiangyang Bo Mansion, His Royal Highness blamed himself for not taking me to the mansion early, but,"

Rong Lan lowered her head, sighed for a long time and said, "The county lord has misunderstood me too deeply, and His Royal Highness doesn't want the county lord to be sad,"

It's the same as the truth, you said that the eldest princess of Jinyang is willing to see you, I can believe it? Mrs. Chen said with a smile, "This Miss Rong wants to open a little, after all, His Royal Highness and the county lord are mother and daughter, and they are incomparable to others." ”

Rong Lan nodded, "That's what I told Your Highness, no matter how much Your Highness likes me, I don't want to let Your Highness have a gap with the county lord because of myself, otherwise it will be my unfilial piety." ”

"Isn't Miss Rong unable to enter the eldest princess's mansion?" Mrs. Chen frowned and asked.

Finally attracted Mrs. Chen to take the bait, Rong Lan nodded, "Your Highness occasionally goes out to offer incense, and sometimes I happen to pass by." ”

You really know how to "coincide", Mrs. Chen said with a smile, "No wonder, this is also the fate of Miss and His Royal Highness, others can't compare, but if this is the case, why did Miss Rong bother to run into a wall in front of the eldest princess's mansion?" ”

"Always meet in the temple like this, Your Highness doesn't say it, if the county lord knows in the future, it will only misunderstand me more deeply, so I think I still often come to ask for a begging, if the county lord is willing to forgive, it will no longer treat me as a sister as before, and I can often be happy under His Highness's knees, which is also a grace to me."

Rong Lan's words were extremely humble, but what kind of person is Mrs. Chen, how could she believe her words, if she was a normal person, she would have been hanged with a rope at this time, and she would have the face to run into the mansion of the eldest princess of Jinyang, and make friends with relatives?

This Rong Lan was afraid that she had something else to ask for, but she heard Rong Lan say, "The grandmother in the house is doing a hundred days sacrifice, I don't know which Zen temple to set it in?" ”

"Well, it's Ciyun Temple on the outskirts of Beijing," Mrs. Chen's eyes flashed, if only she could invite the eldest princess of Jinyang through her mouth, the eldest princess of Jinyang went, not only gave the Wang family a great face, but Li Jingyi, as a daughter, would definitely accompany her.

"I didn't know it before, but now I know, Rong Lan will definitely go to pay tribute in person when the time comes," Rong Lan smiled slightly, and looked at Mrs. Chen's expression in her eyes, "Don't hide it from Mrs., because of the reason for entering the palace, I also know something about the Bofu, there is no grandmother in the house, this is over the filial piety period, and Mrs. still has to think about the eldest son's broken strings, right?" ”

What is this Rong Lan going to do? Mrs. Chen's eyes are full of vigilance, her son will remarry, and she will not want Rong Lan to be ruined before marriage, and still live in the world, not only in the world, but also walking everywhere!

Rong Lan was stabbed by Mrs. Chen's eyes, if she was normal, she would have blinded Mrs. Chen's eyes with a whip, but now the situation is stronger than people, no matter how stinging the eyes are, she has to endure it, "Madam misunderstood, I just remembered that His Royal Highness is worrying about the county lord's family affairs these days, you also know, the county lord was originally not worried about marrying, but now the county lord is not only Ruihe county lord, but also the heir daughter of the Marquis of Anguo, and can no longer marry a husband, this matter is difficult." ”

Mrs. Chen grabbed Rong Lan's hand at once, nodded frequently, and said, "Who said no, alas, I am also a mother, and I am worried about His Highness when I think about it,"

This face changed really quickly, Rong Lan pulled her hand out of Mrs. Chen's hand, "What Madam said is that the identity of the county lord is to recruit husbands, and the children of ordinary families don't want to be worthy, how can they be famous and surnamed, right?" ”

Mrs. Chen leaned back and picked up the tea from the table again, "Let's not talk darkly, what is Miss Rong's plan, let's hear it." ”

first said that her son wanted to continue the string, and then talked about Li Jingyi's family affairs, Mrs. Chen couldn't guess what Rong Lan wanted to throw to herself, she really became a fool, but this bait is sweet, and people won't throw it to themselves for nothing, what's more, does this Rong Lan have the ability she said?

"As Miss Rong said, with the county lord in the mansion, no matter how much His Royal Highness likes you, he will not take you into the eldest princess's mansion, this county lord's family affairs, I am afraid that I will not listen to Miss Rong's opinion." Mrs. Chen glanced at Rong Lan, who was also drinking tea with her head down, and asked with a smile.

"This Zhen Ming Xuan is the property of His Royal Highness's name, I wanted to open this teahouse in the first place, or was it my idea for His Highness," Rong Lan's eyes lingered in the private room, "Including these decorations, they are all made by me, what does Madame think?" ”

Zhen Mingxuan is a famous big teahouse in the capital, that is, Mrs. Chen, and only heard of its name, today is the first time to come in, and it is not as good as the layout on the first floor as soon as you enter, just say that this private room, whether it is a table, chair or a bead curtain, to be honest, is more particular than her own house, but Mrs. Chen will not show timidity in front of Rong Lan, "This is also why His Royal Highness can take these good things to Miss Rong to pave the way,"

She picked a shop for Rong Lan, can Rong Lan make such a Zhen Ming Xuan? "I can't complain that people say that this Zhen Mingxuan will cost a few taels of silver for a cup of tea, and the layout in this house alone will be worth this price,"

Mrs. Chen looked at the bright tea in the cup, "This silver needle has to be this year's tribute tea, this season, I am afraid that the emperor and the mother can taste it in the palace." ”

This means that he only relied on the financial resources and connections of the eldest princess of Jinyang to open this Zhen Ming Xuan? Rong Lan felt that her ability was insulted, and she admitted that what Mrs. Chen said made some sense, but there are many people with financial resources in the world, how many people know how to open such a teahouse? As for these tribute teas, there are not a few serious masters here, and how much can the emperor and queen eat the things that are paid tribute to the local government every year? Thinking of exchanging these things and selling them for a big price is also her Rong Lan's ability!

"Calling Mrs. say this, it's because Rong Lan's knowledge is too shallow," Rong Lan smiled coldly, how eager the Wang family is to be a son-in-law really thinks she doesn't know?

Rong Lan got up and straightened her clothes, "It seems that Mrs. has no interest in Zhen Mingxuan's refreshments, and she doesn't talk to Rong Lan speculatively, so I won't stay with Mrs. anymore, let's go first,"

Once Rong Lan became stronger, Mrs. Chen was a little panicked, and said with a smile, "Look at you kid, I saw you a few times before, just because you are outstanding in appearance and talented, I didn't expect that it was not that you were in a hurry, it was not that we were not speculative, it was that I didn't understand clearly, what did you mean by what you just said?" ”

It is not a good reputation to be rich, and Mrs. Chen can't let people know that their Wang family wants to take their eldest son as a son-in-law.

Rong Lan squinted and smiled, "What do you mean, Madam still doesn't understand?" From the Chengenbo Mansion to the uncle's generation, it can be regarded as the end, otherwise the eldest prince would have been the son of the world a long time ago, right? Haven't you and your uncle thought about extending this title for another three generations? Moreover, the people of Bofu are prosperous, marrying relatives and daughters every year, if it weren't for Mrs. You're good at dancing with long sleeves, I'm afraid you'd already be overstretched, right? ”

Unexpectedly, Rong Lan could see it quite clearly, and Mrs. Chen snorted coldly, "So what?" Do you mean you want Zhang'er to be a son-in-law for the eldest princess? ”

"How could this be what I meant? My surname is Rong, who is the county lord recruiting as a son-in-law, and what does it have to do with me? Rong Lan winked at Mrs. Chen, her eyes full of banter, "Isn't that what Madam meant?" ”

She leaned down, "If the eldest prince becomes a son-in-law, according to the temperament of the eldest princess, as compensation, he will also ask the emperor for his uncle, and this title may fall to the head of your second son, and your youngest daughter in the palace, there are two backers, the eldest princess and the county lord, how can this share have to be lifted up, what does Madam think?" ”

Mrs. Chen didn't expect her mind to be seen through by Rong Lan, she simply didn't pretend, her eyes were full of shrewd light, "Miss Rong's calculation is good, but it's a pity that my hard-working daughter-in-law has only been gone for more than three months, and the dog is now in filial piety, and this marriage is still early,"

"It's too early to discuss marriage, but if the two families have a tacit understanding, the remaining half a year is just right to prepare for marriage, and when the eldest son is filial, wouldn't it be right?" Rong Lan snorted lightly, if she hadn't been able to use the Wang family, she would have looked down on this kind of person.
