The evening of Zhu's return home. Chen Ying did not go home. According to the family members who were ordered to send a message back, the soldiers and horses of the five cities began to search and arrest the city after the resignation of Lu Yiyun, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, a few days ago, and have already seized a number of shops and private nests in casinos. And Zhang Ming, the palm print of the Governor of the Left Army, felt the wind and cold occasionally, so from now on, Chen Ying had to stay in the Yamen for many days. Hearing this news, there are not a few people in the Yangning Hou Mansion who breathed a sigh of relief.

If you don't follow the old lady, you will flatter the three masters, which is the purpose of the people in the house today. But even the people who stood on the side didn't want the two sides to pinch up immediately, after all, once the fire burned, it must be the people below who were unlucky first. And there are not no people who are disappointed by this, at least, Mrs. Ma immediately lost her temper in the house when she heard this. If it weren't for the fact that the concubine Chen Yun had the work ordered by the old lady at hand, she would have to call someone to scold her for a while.

And when Chen Lan learned the news, he was in the main room of the Tatexiang Temple. After finishing a break, she went to the Tatexiang Temple, but was left by the Zhu family, saying that she would have dinner with her later, and only then did she tell a few celebrity anecdotes that appeared on "The World Speaks New Words". This news came from outside, and she was not without alarm in her heart.

The Zhu family occupies the righteousness of filial piety, and meditates on the Zhuangzi for a few days, and now this trip back is naturally under the guise of retreating and no longer-for-tat. And Chen Ying reversed the previous two aggressive postures, and simply avoided the yamen without wanting to see him on official business, undoubtedly understanding where his shortcomings were. Zhang Ming, the governor of the Left Army Governor's Mansion who only gave such a step, what did he think?

"That's it, official business is important and family affairs are light, and filial piety is not looked at these times." Zhu also speculated in his heart about what his son-in-law Zhang Ming meant, but in the past few days in Anyuan, the Korean government sent someone to visit, and also said that Zhang Ming was indeed a minor illness, so she could only sigh in her heart that it was a coincidence, and then took a sip of tea with great interest. Seeing that the daughter-in-law who reported the incident did not move, she couldn't help frowning and asked, "What else is the matter?" ”

"Back to the old lady, just now the Korean government and the Weiguo government each sent people to deliver the post. The Korean government came to Zhao's mother, who had been here before, and she was ordered by the county lord of Yixing to say that the third day of March was the Shangsi Festival, which happened to be the birthday of the second lady, and it was also a gift for the second lady. Weiguo Mansion came to the blue mother, saying that March 18 happened to be the completion of the new main hall in Yiyuan, Wei Guogong and our three masters are robes, and there are relatives, so put down the banquet, and invite our family to visit the garden to enjoy. ”

Not to mention that Zhang Huixin is the only daughter of the county lord of Yixing. With the daughter and gift of the Korean Mansion, the Zhu family will inevitably bring their family members to join in the fun, but this post from the Weiguo Mansion is subtle. What robes, what relatives, you must know that the Duchess of Weiguo and the prince were in the capital before, and even the exchange of gifts during the New Year's holidays was just mediocre, how could they now think of visiting the garden to enjoy the fun? Having said that, Zhu just frowned, and then asked, "Can those two mothers go?" ”

The third lady met in person, and the two mothers said that they hurriedly came to deliver the post after learning that the old lady had returned. It's just that I don't know how the old lady is doing, so I don't dare to rashly ask for it. ”

Zhu Shi thought that the rumor he released was to go to Tongzhou to recuperate, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided not to go, and immediately looked at Chen Lan and said: "That's it, you and Yan'er accompanied me to Tongzhou to recuperate before, and now you go to the Water Mirror Hall to meet the two mothers, and also bring a good child to the master of their house on my behalf." The third day of March is the birthday of the second lady of the Korean government, and it is the same time, and the family will definitely go. As for March 18...... March 18 ...... "Zhu wanted to say no, but suddenly thought that March 18 was the palace trial list. Immediately changed his mind, because he smiled, "I said that if I have time to go back, I will let a few grandchildren go to have a good time." ”

Chen Lan agreed and stood up, and when he got outside, he had a girl who went to call the red snail. The master and servant followed the daughter-in-law out of the hall in front of the Tatexiang Courtyard, and Chen Lan deliberately asked about the situation of the people from the Guogong Mansion on both sides. That daughter-in-law used to be Mrs. Xu's maid, and after getting married, she was only a second-class housekeeper daughter-in-law, but now although her lord attacked Yangninghou, but seeing that Aunt Luo was actually sealed, she naturally knew that her wife was only reliable with the old lady, so she was afraid that she would not be able to speak.

"The mother Zhao from the Korean government came first, and she came out of the royal family, even if she was dressed plainly, her every move was extremely orderly, and people didn't dare to underestimate it. Mother Lan of Weiguo Mansion is dressed luxuriously, but she can speak kindly and kindly, and she is always a little childish, after all, she is not rich enough ......"

Even if there is no words from this daughter-in-law, because of the excellent perception of the Yixing county lord and Zhang Huixin's mother and daughter, coupled with the fact that Zhao's mother was ordered to remind her last time, she knows everything and says everything, plus the Korean Mansion and the Hou Mansion are in-laws after all, Chen Lan will definitely go to see Zhao's mother first, let alone now. When I arrived at the Water Mirror Hall, I learned that Mrs. Xu was seeing Mother Lan, she let people know, and the daughter-in-law led her to the side of the room first.

Mother Zhao is still the same as last time, after seeing each other. first asked Chen Lan with concern how Zhu's health was, and then turned the topic to the business here. As she spoke, Zhao's mother smiled and said: "According to the meaning of the county lord, I originally just invited some close relatives and friends, and my family was lively, and my lord also thought it was good, but the Korean public felt that the fifteenth birthday was more important than those whole birthdays, and it was also a big deal for the girl's family. My young lady also sighed and said, If it weren't for the third lady being younger than her, the county lord would definitely invite you to be the master or praiser. ”

This really looks like what Sister Zhang Huixin said! When Chen Lan heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "I also ask Mother Zhao to tell the county lord when she goes back, the old lady has agreed, not only me, but also the rest of the family will congratulate." ”

Although the good mother knew that this trip would not be in vain, she was still very happy to receive such a positive answer, and suddenly patted her thigh again and said. Looking at the small memory, I actually forgot the important things. Next year will be your third lady's ceremony, and you will have to do it once at that time. The county lord said, please don't look for people in your mansion when the time comes, this Zhengbin will be wrapped up in her, and my young lady is also there to say, although the third lady has many sisters, but when the time comes, whether it is the master or the praiser, you must leave one for her. When my young lady's wedding ceremony comes, the county lord will settle the matter with the old lady of your house. ”

Rao is Chen Lan has always been close to the county lord of Yixing and Zhang Huixin, but he really didn't expect the mother and daughter to say such things. She said that she was the daughter of the Hou Mansion. But both parents died, grandmother was not a relative, the younger brother was still young, and there was no one to really rely on, and the county lord of Yixing offered to be a guest of honor when she was in charge, which was undoubtedly a great support.

"The county lord is so kind, Sister Huixin is so gracious, I am really grateful, Mother Zhao, please thank me for me when I go back!"

"My young lady has a big temperament, and she should get along well with people, but she is actually a careful person, if others hide treachery in their hearts, she will soon be alienated from others, so she often can't get along with those daughters of the family. The county lord has always been very happy to be able to be close to the third lady of the same age, not to mention, now the county lord also knows that the third lady is not only good-natured, but also intelligent and clever that is difficult for men to reach. Therefore, if she can be the guest of honor when the third lady and Lu Shi, this is also her luck. Mother Zhao saw Chen Lan's face change, and hurriedly explained, "This is not a small nonsense, it is really what the county lord originally said." ”

Chen Lan smiled bitterly in her heart, secretly thinking about the incident she did with Yang Jinzhou in Anyuan, this county lord already knew about it - of course, with the holy family of the county lord of Yixing, it was not surprising to know this, but the deep meaning behind these words was worth pondering. After talking to Zhao's mother for another time, she got up and sent the person to the door of the house, and ordered the daughter-in-law who had been waiting there for a long time to send the person out, and then took the red snail to the back room of the Water Mirror Hall.

If she could, Mrs. Xu would hate to see anyone related to the Luo family. Therefore, when she learned that the old lady had sent Chen Lan over, she must see Mama Zhao first**, but she was still looking for something for a long time, and then she met Mama Lan. Fortunately, although Mother Lan is not as leaky as Mother Zhao. treated her respectfully, and there were even some hints in and out of her words. After all, she is the daughter of Guangning Bofu, thinking of the original rumors that the prince of Weiguo and Chen Xi had a marriage contract, but then the wind suddenly changed, and her husband even came up with another statement, and she vaguely had an idea.

Is that Duchess Weiguo and Aunt Luo really not right?

"Madam, the third lady is here."

Mrs. Xu, who was a little stunned, looked up and saw that it was really Chen Lan who had entered the door, so she smiled and said, "Lan'er is here." ”

At the same time that Mrs. Xu looked up, Mother Lan in the seat had also turned her head to look over. Seeing that the girl in front of her was dressed in a plain and elegant lotus lotus-colored dress, with a slightly plump melon seed face, and listening to the title, she immediately understood who the person who came. After the meeting, she sat down and talked for a while, and when she got up and left after finishing things, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

No wonder it is humane that Mrs. Yangning Marquis is now extremely fond of this third lady, but it turns out to be such a character. Just look at this appearance and demeanor, it is much better than Aunt Luo's daughter who said that she was high and arrogant! I think that when the eldest young master heard about the marriage contract when the old man first came back, he once said in a hurry that there were several young ladies in the Chen family of the Yangning Hou Mansion, and he would rather marry another one than marry Aunt Luo's daughter. It's just that now this marriage is on hold, and I don't know what the lady and the eldest young master have in mind.
