The sun is setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun spills obliquely into the alley, although it is not as hot as the scorching sun during the day, but the heat on the ground has not yet faded, and it is still very hot. At first, most of the people waiting in front of the Du Mansion have dispersed, after all, most of the people who came out of the wealthy eunuchs were arrogant, and they were impatient to be kept out of the door on a hot day, and they had to be looked down upon. There were only a few petty officials who still wanted to try their luck still wandering in the alley, but the couplet at the gate was too stinging, so they all avoided their gaze.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a sudden movement at the door of the Du Mansion, which had been closed. I saw the side door open, and first out of it came a few men who looked like entourage, followed by two young men on horseback, then a carriage, and then a personal follower. Seeing this posture, the few remaining people looked at each other for a while, and suddenly someone followed. When they followed them to the street, someone suddenly slapped their heads vigorously and reflexively stopped the others.

"Dude, what are you doing here?"

"Don't you know those two horsemen?" The person who spoke saw that the other people's faces were full of inexplicability, so he sneered, "I thought that Du Tiezui was so unsentimental, how he was not attached to the powerful, but it turned out that it was not the same as others, the first one was the prince of Weiguo, and the other was Yang Jinzhou, the commander of Tiancewei, who had just won a great victory in the Luoma River, and the two upstarts went to his house, he treated him well, and ignored the others, okay, this is the prime minister's bearing."

What others say later, Chen Lan naturally doesn't care about this line. I have to say that this time I went to Du Bachelor's Mansion, the Chen family sisters and Luo Xu Yang Jinzhou had their own plans, but in the end, they experienced a change that no one expected. Even the most ignorant Chen Yan is sitting there honestly at this moment, but his eyes are dumbfounded, how he looks like he is thinking about something.

Chen Lan gently opened the corner of the curtain and stared thoughtfully at the street, which was already rarely passers-by. Seeing that many passers-by were paying attention to their group, she thought about it for a while, and then opened her mouth to give an order to the red snail that came out of the side. Hongluo immediately opened the car door a crack, and said to Yang Jinzhou and Luo Xu in front: "Lord Yang, Luo Shizi, my young lady said, this is almost to Huangqiang North Street, not far from Yiyuan and Yang's Mansion, and the guards we brought are enough, so the two of you don't need to send them anymore."

Yiyuan Chen Lan has been there, and Chen Lan of Yangfu once sent Tian's mother to deliver a letter, so he knows that the two are on the west and east sides of Huangqiang North Street. As soon as these words came out, Luo Xu smiled first: "It's just a few steps, it's okay for me." However, Brother Yang lives in Nanju Xianfang Gatehouse Hutong, and it will be there one more street, so if Brother Yang goes home first, I will give it a ride. ”

Yang Jinzhou looked at the car door that only showed a slit, and then looked at the street that although it was not completely dim, it was no longer walked, so he shook his head and said: "It's almost night now, and there are fewer people on the road. Moreover, the previous daylight trip to stab Dongchang Hou's car is not far away, it is better to be more careful, and it is not too late to send it to Xinkaidao Street. ”

Although Luo Xu really wanted Yang Jinzhou to go back first, and he had many opportunities to speak, but he had to send it, so he naturally didn't have anything to say. After hearing this, Hongluo closed the car door and said to Chen Lan, and she nodded, but when she leaned back and wanted to close her eyes to recuperate, she unconsciously remembered the marriage that Concubine Wuxian had mentioned.

In her previous life, she was flawless and tempting, but in this life, she didn't dare to be tempted, in this era when women are completely vulnerable, what can she do even if she is moved? The two people outside are all handsome for a while, and she is not untouched by those devotion and help, but she has always maintained her distance. is to trust her like the Zhu family, if you consider her marriage matters, these two people are decidedly excluded, and the possibility that she can influence the Zhu family's decision on marriage is very small, let alone the emperor

Not long after this group of people passed Bei'anmen, another group of people had just come out of Bei'anmen. Although the one at the head is dressed in plain clothes, there is a bit of anger between his eyebrows. Keeping filial piety in the palace for many days, can't eat meat, can't drink alcohol, and can't get close to women, he naturally can't bear it, this time he came out or found a good excuse, so at this time, he saw a few entourages waiting under the imperial wall to salute the horse, he didn't even bother to say, and bent down to get ready to get on the sedan chair.

"Your Highness." A personal entourage approached at this time and said in a low voice, "The little one just saw Commander Tiance Wei Yang and Luo Shizi passing over from this side together, and there was a carriage in the middle, looking at the ornament, it should be the car of the Marquis of Yangning." ”

King Huai stopped suddenly, and then straightened his waist. After thinking for a while, his face suddenly became even more ugly, and then he said viciously: "See it's still here?" Catch up with me to see what's going on, and come back to report me when I see it."

When the relatives agreed to the succession, they got on the horse and ran away like a gust of wind, and King Huai bowed his head in the sedan chair without saying a word. When the eight sedan chairs swayed forward, he in the sedan chair suddenly pinched the handrails, then raised his hand to pat it again, and finally put it down. After taking a deep breath, there was a kind of shuddering look in his eyes, and then he chuckled, but there was no joy in the laughter, but it was gloomy.

Yang Jinzhou also did what he said, as soon as he got on Xinkaidao Street, the alleys were much brighter than those in Toudongcheng, and he was ready to quit and go back. After all, Xicheng has many lords and nobles, and he is richer than ordinary Beijing officials, so it is always a problem to hang a few angry wind lanterns, and the patrol of the Xicheng Terracotta Division is also more rigorous than other places. And when he said goodbye in front of the car, it was just a few ordinary polite words at first, but at the end, he muttered for a moment and couldn't help but add two more sentences.

"The summer is dry, and these days have not rained a drop of rain for a month, although there is still a shortage of water in Tongzhou, but please pay more attention to the situation in Tiananzhuang. Moreover, this summer is hot, and the day before yesterday I even heard that many people in Dongcheng suffered from heat stroke, although you are in the house, you should be careful. ”

Yang Jinzhou suddenly reminded this, Chen Lan in the car was stunned for a moment, and when she was about to say thanks, she didn't expect that Chen Yan had already stuck his head out of the car: "Brother Yang, thank you for reminding me to sit at home when you are free, and tell me about your war when you were in the first place, the previous victory in the Luoma River has spread all over the capital, but there are four or five different versions in the teahouse alone."

Although Chen Lan immediately pulled Chen Yan back, the words came out, and she had no choice but to apologize on behalf of Chen Yan, but she didn't expect Yang Jinzhou to hesitate for a while and agree—although he only said that he would wait until he had free time. Luo Xu on the side saw that his eyes flickered, and it wasn't until Yang Jinzhou said goodbye and left that he breathed a long sigh of relief, but Chen Yan actually slipped out of the carriage and asked for a horse to ride side by side with him and talk. So, he had to work hard to deal with this little junior brother.

"Master Du's temperament is well-known in Jingshi, he only heard about it earlier, but when he saw it with his own eyes today, he felt that he was worthy of his reputation. Compared with those who just cherish the poor and hate the rich, Master Du is the real righteousness. ”

"That's, Senior Brother Luo, you are so eloquent, aren't you speechless in front of Lord Du?"

After talking and laughing for a while, seeing that it was not far from Yangning Street, Luo Xu gradually put away his head and laughed, and he was a little worried. Remembering that his mother often entered the palace a few days ago, and heard from Luo Guifei that she wanted to find a famous Shuyuan for herself, and thinking that her mother didn't know if she had mentioned it to her father, he unconsciously took a deep breath, and suddenly changed into a solemn appearance and said to Chen Yan that he had something extremely important to tell them two sisters and brothers.

Chen Yan was frightened by his appearance, he didn't dare to make a mistake, and saw that there was a dismount kiosk on the side of the road for passers-by to rest, so he ordered the carriage to drive over and stop first, and then ordered his entourage to watch around, and sent the coachman away, and then he arrived in front of the carriage.

Chen Lan felt strange just now, and it wasn't until the car door opened and Chen Yan raised the curtain and said something to her that she understood what was going on. Seeing that Luo Xu, who was behind Chen Yan, swept away her usual ease of retraction, she was unusually solemn, and she was not without surprise.

"Luo Shizi?"

"Third Miss, if I asked the junior brother to bring it last time, can I bring it?" After Luo Xu saw Chen Lan in the car, his face was a little strange, and he made up his mind in his heart, "One drink and one peck, it is not predetermined, although I Luo Xu can't say that he is a peerless talent, but this mind is sincere." If so......"

Although the coachman and his entourage were in the distance, although the red snail in the car was his confidant, although Chen Yan on the side widened his eyes, he obviously did not have any dissatisfaction, but his face was full of excitement and happiness, Chen Lan was also moved in his heart, but she didn't dare to listen to it like this, and suddenly gritted her teeth and interrupted Luo Xu's words.

"Luo Shizi, I received a piece of your heart. It's just that people's hearts are fickle in this world, and time is even more ruthless. However, Luo Shizi's previous help to our sister and brother, I will never forget it in my life. ”

"You are only grateful for the help, but you don't remember the past......"

Chen Lan has a good impression of Luo Xu, but she can't deceive herself, everything Luo Xu did must have been because of that person's shadow at first, but now that the person who occupies this body is already another person, she has to explain some things clearly. Seeing that Luo Xu smiled bitterly and was stunned, she didn't care if he could understand what she just said, so she paused and continued: "Moreover, Luo Shizi should know that the Yangning Marquis Mansion is a famous century-old noble family in Beijing, and the Weiguo Mansion is not only a new hero, but also a prominent relative, some things are related to the long-term, and it has never been our juniors who can call the shots." Besides, the last time I entered the palace, Concubine Xian Niangniang had already made it clear that the queen had spoken before her death, and I am afraid that my future affairs will come from the Holy Judgment. ”

Although Luo Xu was quite sad in his heart, Chen Lan's words were even more shocking, he had not received the news of this marriage from Luo Guifei through his mother in advance. He could convince his mother, and he was confident that he might be able to convince his father, but the mountain in front of him was the emperor, and this was not something that could be easily overcome. He knew that Chen Lan deliberately mentioned the Yangning Marquis Mansion and the Weiguo Mansion, not to let him recognize the difference between the nobles and the nouveau riche, but to explain the huge power represented by the two families, but even so, it was difficult to offset the shock in his heart. After a long time, he took a few deep breaths, and the suffocation was finally relieved a lot.

No wonder, she has never dared to respond to her thoughts......

"After saying it thoroughly, it's finally much more comfortable. I know that today is really abrupt, but some words have been held in my heart for too long, I really have to say it, and I ask the third lady to forgive me. Luo Xu smiled apologetically at Chen Yan as he spoke, and then arched his hand and said, "It's not early, then let's continue on the road."
