Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Mystery of the Hereditary Title
"I know you're honest. It's not the ones who are used to tricking and slippery, but there are some things that I don't care about for you, and some things that I can't overstep. This time, you can not only quell the tenants' troubles, but also free food and recruit the servants of the village, and there is still a place to use the money, after all, this Zhuangzi is not included in the account of the public middle school, and it is difficult to move money from the big tent in the house. ”
In the main landlord's house, Zhu Shi on the kang said while handing over the ebony lacquered small box to Chen Lan, and said without waiting for her to speak: "Three thousand taels of silver looks like a lot, but it really costs quickly, but you have always been steady and cautious, so you shouldn't need me to remind you more." Zhuangzi has not much income this year, plus next year, there are hired people and all kinds of repair expenses, two hundred and twenty-one years is about enough, if you have more loose money, you can naturally end up better, but people should not be too indulgent......"
Chen Lan held the fluttering box, knowing in his heart that his performance in the past two or three months had completely impressed the Zhu family. Otherwise, there would not have been such in-depth teaching, let alone spit out the money in hand, so he listened very carefully, nodded his head and asked a question or two from time to time, and occasionally picked up a sentence or two from Zhu. After half an hour, Zhu was certainly pale, but she also gained a lot. And the green calyx and jade peony standing next to them were extremely unremarkable-since they followed the old lady, whether it was the old lady or the young lady in the room, how could they have been treated differently by the Zhu family?
After the grandfather and grandson had a heart-to-heart relationship, at the end of the day, Zhu sighed: "Your father is the eldest son, and he originally had the most hope of becoming a lord, but he blindly indulged himself, and I taught him twice and didn't change, and as a result, I ruined hope." When he was dismissed from the guard, I didn't even have the heart to sigh. I just didn't expect that now that you are older, it is a different situation, you can teach your younger brother, treat people and things are the first-class, and the first time you can do things outside can be so comprehensive, this reward is not only the dignity of our Hou Mansion, but also the dignity of you and Yan'er. So, now, there is something I can mention to you. ”
Seeing that Zhu suddenly changed into an extremely solemn expression, Chen Lan knew that his next words must be extraordinary, so he hurriedly sat upright. But Zhu didn't speak immediately. Instead, he looked at the green calyx and the jade peony and said, "You two go outside to guard, and no one is allowed to trespass or approach, even if the sky falls, let me finish talking to Lan'er!" If any of the subordinates dare to eavesdrop, take it first, and then kill it immediately! ”
Although the Zhu family also spoke sharply on weekdays, it was the first time that such a stern order was given, so Green Calyx and Jade Peony glanced at each other, and their faces were solemn, and they both bent their knees before going out. At this time, the Zhu family asked Chen Lan, who was sitting in the next chair, to sit beside him on the kang, and thought for a while, and then began to speak carefully.
"You have also heard the will of your third uncle Chengjue before, but I have always had laws and regulations for Chengjue, and you are young, so naturally you may not know it. My dynasty Taizu was very generous to all the nobles because the generals accompanied the southern and northern wars and won the country in blood. The royal family is reduced to inheritance, while the noble lord is not reduced. In addition to the great crime of rebellion and rebellion, take the title without cutting the world; Those who commit crimes due to great greed or defeat in war will be demoted to one rank. and to atone for sins with the silver of the pendulum; and if a lord is a lord who has taken the title because of a crime, if his son has grown up, then his son will inherit it; If the son has not yet reached maturity, the example is inherited by the brother. According to the law, this is an excuse. ”
Although Chen Lan has been trying to inquire about the official laws and regulations of the Chu Dynasty, after all, those books of this dynasty are limited, and even if they do, they are often not fully believed by scholars, and it is extremely unrealistic to expect a girl from a big mansion like Yun'er to inquire about these. Therefore, it was the first time she had heard such a detailed explanation.
"Borrowing ......"
Seeing Chen Lan repeating these two words, his face was dazed, and Zhu smiled and said: "Don't think about it, you are a daughter of the boudoir who does not go out of one door and no one step out, so naturally you don't know this." Don't say it's you, even your second uncle may not remember. It's no wonder that after all, it has been more than 100 years since the founding of the country, and in order to attack the lord, which family has not fought a lawsuit in front of the emperor, but it is just to see which house is prosperous and which house has the right, and there is no one in a hundred who can be returned in the end, and over time, no one remembers. Therefore, it is reasonable that your second and third uncles are borrowed, and they have to be returned when Yan'er grows up. ”
At this moment, Chen Lan had suddenly realized, but his face was furrowed, and he shook his head for a while before he shook his head and said, "Thank you for teaching the old lady this, it's just." After all, the third uncle is a person with military merits, Yan'er is still young now, and even if he is an adult in the future, he will compete for the title with a veteran general like him before he has made an inch, firstly, he has little chance of winning, and secondly, he will also be laughed at by people for the infighting in my Chen family. I have also heard of those who fight for the title, like the Runing Bo Mansion, the battle for the title is the defeat, and the Dongchang Marquis Mansion is not as good as before, but it shows people jokes. Rather than this, it is better to let the fourth brother fight by himself. ”
If Chen Lan's eyes lit up as soon as he heard this, and he immediately asked about the situation, although Zhu would still say what he said, he would inevitably have a pimple in his heart, but Chen Lan not only made it clear that he had reservations, but also said a very decent truth, so she showed a smile: "Okay, Yan'er has a sister like you to teach, I can rest assured." It's just that you said that your third uncle was a general, but you promoted him. He is no better than Wei Guogong, who has a hereditary military status and has been guarding Yunnan for several generations. That meritorious title is really fought with a knife and a gun, and your third uncle ...... If it weren't for the fact that he had given a woman to the current Wei Guogong, he would have been able to rise to the commander of the Yunnan Metropolitan Division so quickly? In short, you don't have to worry about those who are far away, you just have to do the same as usual, and I have my own plans for those who are far away. ”
Since Chen Ying's actions after she came back, Chen Lan knew that she and this third uncle could not coexist peacefully, and at this time, the Zhu family put the word borrowed on the table, and she knew that there were countless calculations waiting for her in the future. If she had her parents to rely on, she could still find another way, but now she has to struggle mentally. However, since the Zhu family said these two words, they have long been forgotten by ordinary nobles. Why is there such a certainty?
Also, the emperor's reward for the long house also seems to be heavier. In addition, Luo Mingyuan, the Duke of Weiguo, and her third uncle Chen Ying were successively transferred back to the court, saying that they were reused, but they did not see any clues, but they took down Lu Yiyun, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, with a thunderous momentum...... The strange way is that people say that the king's heart is unpredictable, and it is indeed true!
After exiting from the main house, Chen Lan went back to his house first, called Hongluo again, counted out four hundred taels of silver ** in front of her, and then ordered him to keep the rest. In the face of such a large sum of money, Hongluo's hand holding the ebony box trembled slightly, and it took a while before he whispered: "Miss, do you want to assign another person to manage it with the slave and maid?" ”
"No need, Yun'er has learned a lesson this time, and she will not fight with you again, as for Qin Fang, she is a first-class honest person. I can trust you, that's it. ”
Faced with these trustworthy three words, Hongluo took a deep breath, then knelt down with the box in his hand, and said solemnly: "Miss don't worry, the slave and maid must be properly kept, and there will never be any mistakes." ”
Although it is proper to manage the money by herself, after all, she is three heads and six arms, and she can't do everything herself, she has to let go when she should let go, and she has to let go when she should delegate power. So, coming out of the west wing, Chen Lan took a sliding rod to the front to see Zhang Zhuangtou and handed him four hundred taels of silver. Rao is Zhang Zhuangtou is used to seeing money coming in and out, and his eyes can't help but change a little.
"Zhang Zhuangtou, don't think wrong, I can't save so much body." Chen Lan smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly, "Before, Father-in-law Xia came, firstly, he gave the deed of this Anyuan, and secondly, he returned three thousand taels of silver, so the expenses for two years here." Naturally, there is. Reasoning has money, and it is easy to allocate an extra one or two hundred taels, and I don't say anything about how easy it is to go from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to thrift, I just say it clearly, I want to see your ability. In two years' time, the first rent will be paid here, and when that time comes, I hope you will surprise me. ”
Zhang Zhuangtou realized at this time, and was surprised, but he thought a little more. He is the servant of the Hou Mansion, and he has been the head of the grange for several generations, but he has never been able to stay up to a higher level, but people who are fifty miles away still have to look at the face of Steward Zheng, who is younger than him, which is naturally not a comfortable and pleasant thing. Weighing the visit of the Lord Jinyiwei and the eunuch Xia who was the royal eunuch before, he finally made up his mind, took the silver ** and knelt down and kowtowed.
"The little one understands, please rest assured."
After arranging all this, Chen Lan got another piece of good news on the way back to Linbo Pavilion. Because the woman from the village had applied extremely effective herbs, the doctor had already woken up Danxin after he came. Although this is not her own girl, maybe the destruction of the cloth shoes she made is also related to Danxin, but after all, it is a human life, so Chen Lan is still relieved, and after thinking for a while, he rushed over. However, at the door of that humble hut, Lai's mother, who was waiting for her, was full of panic.
"Third Miss, the doctor said that because he hit it too hard, Danxin was already demented, and it was just two sentences upside down......"
Chen Lan, who was taken aback, hurriedly crossed the threshold and entered the house, only to see the girl huddled in the corner with the quilt in her arms, her eyes in a trance. It's just that on weekdays, although Danxin is not very dressed, he is clean and simple, but now he looks unkempt and haggard. After taking a few steps, she heard the girl murmuring softly.
"Miss, I will follow you for the rest of my life, I will go wherever you go......"
Chen Lan pinched his palm with his fingernails, and then turned his head to look at Lai's mother, who hurriedly explained: "Except for this sentence, I was hiding there with my head in my arms, and it seemed that I was hiding from being beaten." She is the son of a family, and only Lao Tzu and Niang are useless, so after being assigned to Ziningju, she has always been very bullied, and later even though she followed Miss Five, she was often beaten. ”
Looking at this curled figure, Chen Lan narrowed his eyes, and finally said softly: "If you match people, the seven girls are enough, she is afraid that she will not even have a way to survive if she is released like this, so let her do some light work on the Zhuangzi." Old lady, I'll talk about it. ”
PS: Today's second shift, I didn't expect to be in the top three in pink ** in the afternoon, and continue to ask for pink...... But to foresee, because there are symptoms of cold and fever, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, the next is the New Year, go to relatives and other miscellaneous things, can not keep two changes, during the New Year period to single change. After the New Year, try to restore the double watch. The update during the Chinese New Year may not be accurate, considering that everyone sleeps lazy, it will probably be after 12 noon. So much rambling, I wish you all a happy new year, and a small wish, tomorrow on the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I hope to receive a bunch of firecrackers for the New Year (that is, the female frequency rewards the new 99 points, thank you)
