twenty-six

Seeing the envy in the eyes of the ladies, Zhang Lan was secretly proud in her heart, Wu Anbo was not the most powerful general in front of Liang Taizu back then, so the mansion given was a little more remote, but after a few generations, compared to the Houmen who had more and more population and smaller places near the imperial city, the advantages here were revealed, not to mention that the Luo family also bought the surrounding land cheaply, and now, the Wu'an Hou Mansion is surrounded by upstarts and does not seem remote. And her lotus pond behind the water residence is two acres in size, which is unimaginable in Zhang Lan's eyes, but now it completely belongs to her, "Don't laugh, this lotus pond is also after I came, and I cleaned up the surroundings, it is a little simple, and I have wronged everyone~"

"Madame is too polite," Mrs. Weiyuan Hou Shizi accompanied her mother-in-law today, the Du family has little to do with the Luo family, but the Du family has lost military power in the previous generation, and now there is only a signboard left, "Such a scenery is the wild fun that is found~"

Mrs. Du said very much, "Zhang Lan couldn't help but bow, she deliberately did not allow the gardener to get any more precious varieties, once the lotus flowers of Qianbi Villa were thought to be no one to take care of, a pool of lotus blossoms, "There is a way that clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving, I love this ambition~"

"To love the lotus out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, straight through the outside, not vines and branches, fragrant far and clear, pavilions and quiet planting, can be seen from a distance and can not be blasphemed." Zhang Lan seemed to be deeply immersed in the beautiful scenery in front of her, muttering to herself, as soon as she married Luo Yuanpeng, she had the conditions, but she looked for all the books of the Yong'an Dynasty and found that there were no Tang poems and Song lyrics here, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"It turns out that everyone in the mansion will recite these few sentences," Li Biyao smiled and looked at Jiang Bozhen, the girl from the Chengenbo family beside her, "The younger sister of the Jiang family is afraid that she also knows what Ai Lian said, right?" ”

"This Ailian, who said that she doesn't know now? Why don't the Luo family like it? It's just that Sister Qingrong can't tell who that person is, otherwise I'm afraid that the emperor will also visit him," he said, looking at Luo Qingrong on the side, "Sister Rong, can you ask Brother Xu to help find that great sage?" ”

Zhang Lan looked at Luo Qingrong in amazement, with a look of disbelief, how did the people here know about Zhou Dunyi's "Ai Lian Said"? Is it really Luo Xuchu who told Luo Qingrong? She thought of the account book at home, and suddenly felt that there might be some existence in this world that she couldn't predict, and her former self-confidence was a little shaken, but what if it was just a coincidence? Zhang Lan was a little dazed.

Luo Qingrong is looking at the layout around the lotus pond, Zhang Lan gave this place an elegant name - Zilingzhou, here is indeed like Zhang Lan said, the scenery here is completely taken from nature, a small bamboo bridge connects the pond bank with the small Zhu near the shore, there are a few clusters of Xiangfei bamboo scattered on the small Zhu, and the bamboo chairs and bamboo tables scattered in a patchwork manner, Luo Qingrong smiled lightly, Zhang Lan is very talented in these small scenes, and I can't complain that the side door has been opened in Shuiju these days, Mother Lin and Xiao Shan's family are busy like a mouse, it turns out that they are doing these, it's a pity, no matter how well it is arranged, no matter how novel and exquisite the refreshments on the bamboo table are, her "eight teeth" smile is already terrifying.

Seeing that her daughter's face was the same, Zhang Lan had quickly adjusted her expression, Luo Qingrong was her "daughter", and the days to come would be long~

"This person is really a little capable," Luo Ayajin saw that Ji Shenyu was eating sweetly, and couldn't help but take a bite of a "cookie", which was milky, sweet and delicious, "Is this a snack in the countryside of Jinzhou?" I've never seen it in the palace," he said, and asked the girl to bring the pudding to her.

Luo Qingrong's eyes darkened, she also liked Zhang Lan's food very much, and Zhang Lan never hid her selfishness, taught her hand in hand, and told her, "If you want to capture a man's heart, first grab a man's stomach", and she did it one by one, but as a result, thinking of Liang Yuanke's scolding of herself, Luo Qingrong wanted to sneer, can you really capture a man's heart with these? Then why did my father end up raising an outer room again? In this world, the most volatile thing is people's hearts, Zhang Lan also has to be like herself, understand it earlier, and the Luo family's life can be peaceful in the future.

Luo Ming'an has been quietly paying attention to the nobles on Ziling Continent, when she came, her grandmother Yang had repeatedly confessed, these years the people of Wu'an Hou Luo's family have not come out of the door, and they rarely have contact, now that the new lady has entered the door, naturally everything is different from the past, she must please Zhang Lan, and she can go in and out of the Hou Mansion more in the future, these half a day, this uncle and grandmother are not so difficult to get along with, and they always smile when they see people, but the two young ladies of the Hou Mansion seem to be unwilling to deal with her more, and she can also see it, Luo Qingrong and Zhang Lan are not close. Luo Ming'an thought in his heart, and walked up to Zhang Lan, "Are these the foods from my uncle's and grandmother's hometown?" Ming'an has never seen it, and I heard the county lord praise it just now~"

Originally, Zhang Lan was still very sure of her own pastries, she was idle in her previous life, so she loved to tinker with these, and she also took a special pastry class, "Is there really nothing in this capital?" Luo Ming'an's background is limited, maybe he can see the world that these noble ladies can't see, when he saw Luo Ming'an's affirmative expression, Zhang Lanfang smiled, "Sister An'er eat more, and bring some to the sisters at home when she leaves,"

"Thank you, uncle and grandmother," Luo Mingan looked grateful and whispered, "I think those ladies also like it~ I haven't seen it before, right?" ”

Because of "Ai Lian Said" just now, Zhang Lan was a little unsure about her West Point, and thought about it and walked up to Luo Qingrong, "What does Sister Rong think?" ”

"It's good, it's just that I don't like sweets very much," Luo smiled lightly, "Mother is really attentive~" She should be suspicious, right? But what about doubt? What she knows, others may not know, as far as Zhang Lan's sensitivity to "Ai Lian Said", Luo Qingrong has reason to believe that those poems may not really be from Zhang Lan's hands.

"It's nothing," Zhang Lan smiled slightly, wanting to surprise these "ancients", she had a way, "I'll make you some snacks another day~"

Zhang Lan is still like this, she wins people's hearts with her good cooking skills, but this time, her calculation is about to be wrong, "Then thank you mother, in fact, our sister-in-law Guan in the house made a good dish, especially the 'hot pot' she made herself, and everyone who has tasted it says it is good~" Luo Qingrong said that he had a heart.

"Who the hell are you?" Zhang Lan was shocked, "How do you know about hot pot?" After she came, she specially observed that the people in Yongan don't eat spicy food, and Chaotian pepper is only raised in the flower room.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Luo Qingrong looked frightened, "I'm the second lady of the Hou Mansion, Luo Qingrong, you don't know me anymore?" Would you like to ask a doctor to check your pulse? ”

"It's nothing, I just didn't know that the capital still eats hot pot," Zhang Lan stared at Luo Qingrong tightly, but she couldn't see any expression on that snow-white little face, "Forget it, talk to me another day~"

"Yes," Luo Qingrong was obviously frightened by Zhang Lan's appearance, took a step back slightly, and looked around, "My daughter is going to accompany a few sisters~"

"County Lord, how can this be done without flowers and poems?" Li Biyao shook the fan in her hand lightly, "Before I came, the princess also sent a letter and said that she didn't know how the lotus flowers in the Hou Mansion were blooming, and she wanted to borrow poetry to cherish the scene!" ”

"This person, it must have been written in advance," Ji Shenyu pouted, she was the most impatient with this, and said to Luo Ming'an beside her, "If you like it, go yourself, I'm going to sit here for a while, and then go out when they disperse~"

Luo Ming'an's mansion also invited a master, she also wants to be able to show a little bit of limelight at today's lotus appreciation party, if she can have a talent, it will undoubtedly be a great help to her future, "I heard that Miss Li and the two young ladies of Dingguo Mansion are quite poetic, I want to go and see~"

"Go ahead, go ahead, if you have poetry, even if you write it, the people here are all talented," Ji Shenyu pursed his lips and smiled sweetly.

"I knew you were hiding here again," Luo Qingrong knocked Ji Shenyu with the fan in his hand, "What, if you want to tell me that you're not good at this?" "Ji Shenyu went to school with his two elder brothers, but Mrs. Ming Amber never let her daughter come out to show her dew, but what about hiding it, she can't overcome her fate in the end.

"How many years have we only been studying? Where can I compare with those sisters? Ji Shenyu covered his lips with his hand and yawned, "Anyone who has to write poems and paintings to enjoy the flowers, maybe he will have to stroke the piano for a while, he is bored to death, and he doesn't know what he is reading for?" ”

For what? Women, naturally in order to have a wishful husband, Luo smiled lightly, she naturally knew Zhang Lan's plans today, in her previous life, she was a chapter, and the first one is a rare product in a century, and it is also because of this that her seemingly vulgar behavior has become an informal, chic and casual style of the forest, and her father is also very happy to have such a talented wife, and almost obeys Zhang Lanyan.

After Luo Qingrong woke up, she carefully recalled Zhang Lan's behavior, and her poems, Luo Qingrong also followed the master to read hard, although there is no talent, but the ability to appreciate is still there, she recalled Zhang Lan's masterpieces, the style is completely different, sometimes graceful, often heroic, not at all like everyone in the past, often self-contained, with an obvious personal style, just like Zhang Lan herself said, her style is no style, which is also too strange, especially Zhang Lan can sing a lot of tunes that can't be heard at all" Song", the lyrics in it have no rhyme at all, and it really doesn't seem to be written by one person.

What's more, in order to let her get the title of "No. 1 Talented Girl" in the capital, Zhang Lan did not hesitate to catch the knife herself and write the poem for her in advance.

"I see that your wife has the appearance of a bamboo in her chest," Ji Shenyu smiled and motioned for Luo Qingrong to look at Zhang Lan.

"I heard that my mother is a talented local girl," she could even predict what Zhang Lan would write today, thinking of this, Luo Qingrong stood up, "I'll go and see what my mother wants to write?" ”
