"Lan'er really dares to say anything, that's your own mother, there is a way that the child is not ugly, the dog is not poor family, you don't pity your mother for having a hard time now, but you still complain that she has burdened you?" Zhao gritted his teeth.

Rong Lan didn't believe that the Zhao family was really aggrieved for the Hu family, she put down the tea cup in her hand, "Why can't I complain?" I'm just affected by her, not only me, but also the daughter of the Hu family, just to fulfill the adultery between Hu Xueying and Rong Zhi, how many girls and children are at a loss? I don't believe my aunt, you really don't have any resentment in your heart? ”

So what? Isn't it still the same to the daughter of the Hu family, you Rong Lan ran before and after? Zhao snorted coldly from his nose and did not echo Rong Lan's words.

"My mother is finished, and my brother is no different from a wasted person, fortunately, my father is still the Governor of the Navy, and he can still protect the Ronghu family," Rong Lan knew that she must have persuaded the Zhao family, so that she would be willing to run for herself and use it for herself, "I know that my aunt is now not only worried about the future of the two cousins, but also worried about the fate of the two cousins, uncle, Jiangnan people have a lot of eyes, what kind of decent family do you think the two cousins can find if they stay in the south?" But when they arrive in the capital, what kind of decent family can the two of them marry? Do you still want to follow the old path of your eldest cousin? ”

"What's wrong with your eldest cousin? Let me tell you, if it weren't for your eldest cousin...... "The Zhao family hates people to look down on their eldest daughter the most, and they are immediately angry, there was no daughter to be a concubine for Yu Ge, an old man who is nearly sixty years old, how can the Hu family have smooth sailing in the capital?" Do you really think it's Ronghai?

Rong Lan also knew that this matter was the lifeline of the Zhao family, and said busily, "I don't mean to look down on my cousin, I just pity my cousin, the daughter of the long house was the real eldest daughter, why did she pass away?" ”

Hu Xuejiao, the eldest daughter of the Hu family, actually passed on to the side branch as a daughter at the age of fourteen, Zhao sneered in his heart, for what? It's just because they don't want their daughter to marry an old man, but this is something that everyone with a discerning eye can see, and their husband and wife can also stretch their necks to admit it.

"Ming people don't say dark words, uncle, I don't have an elder around me, and I will have to rely on my aunt in the future, but I, Rong Lan, am not an ungrateful person, people respect me a foot, and I still understand the truth of respecting people," Rong Lan looked at Zhao with a slight smile, "It is the second uncle who has no intention of being the head of the Hu family, but Cousin Jing and Cousin Chang can't live all their lives looking at the faces of the long room and the third room, right?" The eldest uncle and the third uncle are okay, this tree has big branches, what about the two of them in a hundred years? ”

The man he married was not helpful, so he pointed to his brothers to live, did he let his two sons also live on their cousins? The Lord looked at giving away what he gave birth to as a concubine, and the Zhao family didn't believe that the best of the Hu family would be fairly distributed among the three heads, "What do you mean?" ”

"I always thought that my aunt grew up in the capital, and her background and knowledge are higher than that of my eldest aunt and third aunt, what's wrong with me now, I can't understand my words?" The Zhao family has been moved by what she said, Rong Lan pursed her lips and smiled, she didn't believe it, she didn't use the Zhao family in vain, why didn't the Zhao family help her plan?

"What I mean is very clear, if my aunt helps me in the capital, that is, she helps the Rong family, such a great kindness, the Rong family and I will not forget, and when the time comes, Xue Rou and Xue Qing will be my cousins, and it is natural that they will have a good future."

Zhao is not a three-year-old child, Rong Lan can fool her by drawing a big cake, "Miss Biao said so lively, my aunt who listened to my heart was pounding, but I am an inner house woman, with shallow eyelids and a simple brain, I really can't think of where I can help Lan'er!" It is the Fengguo General's Mansion, Lan'er has to ask someone to inquire and know, the so-called clan relatives in the capital, there are not one thousand but eight hundred, it sounds like the surname Zhao, but there are many people who can't see the emperor for a few years, just my brother-in-law, if it weren't for the son Lu Mi of the imperial court, a large family might not be able to support it! ”

Otherwise, she would not have sold her 20,000 taels of silver at the beginning, of course the Zhao family would not say, she dared to snatch it with great effort in this family business.

"But is he still General Fengguo or surnamed Zhao? That's enough," Rong Lan looked in the direction of the imperial city, "The Hu family is a businessman, and the most hidden thing about the change in the wind direction in the capital is doing business, I don't believe that my aunt didn't notice anything?" ”

If there was really no speculation, the Zhao family would not have traveled thousands of miles to bring two daughters like flowers into Beijing.

"What do you mean?" The two of them looked at each other, and they both understood what the other party meant, and Zhao held down his heart that was about to jump to his throat, "Lan'er, do you want to enter the palace?" ”

"Does my aunt think I'm not qualified?" Rong Lan smiled at Zhao and glanced over.

There is no shortage of identity and appearance, and there is no shortage of scheming methods, Zhao repeatedly looked at Rong Lan several times, and had to admit that this Rong Lan really entered the palace, and he would definitely be able to get through, "Naturally, I can get in, but if the emperor really has this intention, he will naturally issue a draft draft, even if it is just a small election, with Lan'er's identity and appearance, he will definitely be selected, why should you," personally ran over to find a way?

was selected by the superiors, sent to Emperor Longwu, and "inadvertently" "met" Emperor Longwu with himself, those are two statements, two feelings, Rong Lan didn't want to say this to the Zhao family, "Isn't this because my father was in a hurry because he was in a hurry with the eldest princess of Jinyang, so he wanted to ask me to enter Beijing first?" I thought that since I came, I couldn't just wait like this, and it was better to go out and walk around and have some fame than to ask about me and no one even knew about me."

Especially when something happened to the Hu family, I am afraid that just because she has such a mother, no one who has seen her will make the emperor tired of it first.

This Zhao family is easy to understand, and said, "It's still Lan'er thinking long-term, you don't treat your aunt as an outsider, and your aunt will also treat you as her own girl, just ask you to be developed in the future, think about your two younger sisters, so let's do it, in half a month it will be the fiftieth birthday of your cousin in the General's Mansion, and then I will take you to pay your birthday to visit, my mother's family is down, in the end, it is the one who lives on Huang'en Street, and there will definitely be many people coming that day." ”

This is the best, Rong Lan smiled from the bottom of her heart this time, she bent her knees and saluted Zhao, and handed the list in her hand to Zhao again, "Since it is a birthday greeting, that birthday gift is indispensable, although there are not many of these things, please add it to your aunt." ”

This time, the Zhao family did not refuse, since they wanted to help Rong Lan, this kind of family with no high branches to rely on, naturally had to open the way with silver, "I still think you should go to the old mansion with me, after all, your eldest sister has lived in the capital for a long time, and often serves by the side of the old Yu Ge, maybe there is any news that we can't inquire about?" ”

Lan'er listened to her aunt, "At this time and that time, if you put it aside before, this cousin Rong Lan, who was a concubine, would rather not have it, now, maybe there are any surprises?"

Rong Lan remembers that there are still several young ladies in the Yu family.

Li Jingyi heard the news of Rong Lan from Mama An the next day, she did not go back to the Rong Mansion of Langdi, but lived in Hu Jiagui, I heard that the Hu family and his wife had only been in Beijing for a long time, so they rushed over to "visit relatives" so quickly, this drunkard's meaning, Li Jingyi didn't have to think about it to understand.

"Mama arranged for a few people to keep an eye on the Hu family, especially the movements of the eldest lady of the Rong family, to see where she has been going these days and who she is dealing with," Li Jingyi tapped on the case, "You go to the gatehouse again to explain, all people and things surnamed Rong are not allowed to enter the gate of the eldest princess's mansion, let alone pass it on to the Xian'an Courtyard, so they will save me and His Highness the trouble of hearing it!" ”

Mama An's eyes flashed, and she hurriedly lowered her head, "The slave maid will go in person." ”

This is the main Ruihe County who has cut off the Rong family's contact with the eldest princess's mansion," the slave wanted to say more, "Mama An is about to go out of the side room, and finally screws back."

"Mama has anything to say, since I asked you to take charge of Chonghua Academy, I will not be a deaf ear to your words," but she will not obey her words, Li Jingyi raised her hand and said.

"It's nothing, it's just that if someone sincerely sends some news over, it's useless to just order the porter, and the slave and maid are also superfluous, and the good father-in-law received the godson next to him, and now he is in the army surnamed Rong! I heard that after making meritorious contributions, they have all been promoted to 100 households, and because of this, the good father-in-law also invited guests in the house! ”

This Li Jingyi really doesn't know! She laughed silently, the eunuch had no children, and if she wanted to raise a child to prevent old age, she naturally wanted to accept a righteous son, but she didn't expect that the good father-in-law was still a big heart, and he also planned for his godson to make a name for himself, "Mama has a heart, if you don't say it, I don't even know that the son of the good father-in-law has been promoted, and I heard that it wasn't a nephew from my hometown?" ”

was affirmed by Li Jingyi, Mama An knew that she was on the right move, "That was before, not only did I find my nephew, but I also have a large family of relatives in Liang's hometown, Liang's father-in-law is a person who cares about family affection, and he bought a house and bought a land, this nephew originally asked someone to teach him to read, but the child was not a reading material, and it took a few years of effort, and then I don't know how, Liang's father-in-law sent people to the army, and now Liang's father-in-law's family, it is the daughter-in-law with two little grandsons who are honoring, Everyone mentioned it and said that this was the filial piety of the father and the son, and the good father-in-law did not raise him in vain! ”

It's true, Li Jingyi is also happy, "I know, but we still have to explain what we should explain, as for the good father-in-law, he has been serving my mother since the palace, I think he knows the severity, I don't know about this." ”

"Yes," Mama An replied, walked out of Chonghua Courtyard, and went to the gate.
