As the prince of Weiguo, it was the first time for Luo Xu to go to the Yangning Marquis Mansion so dignified. At this time, sitting in the Sande Hall in the front hall of the Hou Mansion, he lazily took the tea he had just served, and waited until it was almost half cold, and then drank it cleanly in one go. Seeing this situation, Chen Yan, who was sitting with the prime minister, couldn't help but remind in a low voice: "Brother Luo, Mr. said before that you have to drink tea slowly, not cow drink......"

"I just taught my senior brother a lesson, you kid is really quick to turn against you!"

Luo Xu put down the teacup angrily, and was about to tease Chen Yan a few more words, when he heard the sound of talking outside, and hurriedly glanced at people, and he also changed the lazy sitting posture just now, and sat on the corner of his clothes. The next moment, I saw a man step through the threshold under the curtain raised high. The man was wearing a rain-swept azure embroidered right-sided shirt with a pair of court boots under his feet, looking neat, who else could there be if it wasn't Chen Ying?

Seeing that Chen Yan had already stood up to greet him, Luo Xu also got up, arched his hand with a smile and said, "I've seen Uncle Chen." ”

Chen Ying has been in Yunnan for many years, and has always been a subordinate of Luo Mingyuan, the Duke of Weiguo, all the way from Zhenfu to the commander of the capital, plus she married Aunt Luo, and the relationship with the Luo family is naturally extraordinarily close. However, he was very unfamiliar with Mrs. Lin and Luo Xu's mother and son, who had lived in the capital for many years, and even if there was a verbal marriage contract, they had only met once when they visited the Weiguo Mansion before, and they were not too impressed. But at this moment, looking at Luo Xu and Chen Yan, he suddenly thought that Luo Xu should have just come out of the Gongyuan today, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

"It's so late, it's really ...... to actually send my little four back."

"Uncle Chen, where is this?" Luo Xu smiled and glanced at Chen Yan, who was no longer active at dinner, and lowered his head to be honest, and then explained, "I went to Tongzhou Grange to study behind closed doors before I got off the field this time, and occasionally I happened to meet Brother Chen when I went out for a stroll, and it turned out to be like a familiar sight. He is not young, and he blindly studies at the school, and sometimes he feels that he has not learned enough, so I said that I would introduce a gentleman to him. After he came back, he mentioned this matter to the old lady of your mansion, and after getting permission, it happened that I went down to the tribute court again, so I was free to end the test today, and I just took him to meet people over there. That was my mentor, and now that he has sent six salutes to cultivate and kowtow, I have to change my name to call him junior brother. ”

These words are neither long nor short, but they explain the ins and outs clearly, and for a while, Chen Ying couldn't help but be surprised. Only he has been in the military for many years, and he has spared no effort for promotion, and the city government is naturally deep, and he laughed and said: "I didn't expect my little fourth to have such a blessing, and suddenly became the junior disciple of the prince, which is really unique." ”

"Isn't it unique?" Luo Xu smiled more and more, and mentioned two important sentences about the scene of leading Chen Yan over to apprentice in the evening, and then sighed, "My husband is a serious Jinshi background, and he has passed the pavilion selection, and he is impressive, but he has been stumbling on the outside and inside for many years, fortunately, there are many fellow villagers in the same year, and now the life of Zhishi is also better, that is, I didn't know how much effort it took to apprentice to the teacher, but Mr. was very satisfied when he saw Brother Chen, and he agreed, hey, to say that people are really angry than people......"

Chen Yan on the side was honestly standing there with his head bowed and his hands down, but the small eyes on his face were spinning around, quietly paying attention to the movements in the four directions. It's just that Luo Xu is too good at nonsense, and he almost didn't laugh out loud when he heard it several times, and almost showed his stuffing, until the end, Luo Xu finally finished a long sentence, and pulled him over and asked him to go to Mr. to listen to the books and things to be prepared, etc., and he just put those messy thoughts behind and bowed solemnly to people.

"Senior brother, don't worry, I've written it down."

Chen Ying really didn't want to look at the appearance of this pair of brothers, friends and brothers, but now the King of Jin can be said to be facing a crisis, although there are still three older princes left, he no longer dares to bet easily, therefore, the relationship with the Weiguo Mansion, which was once ready to be estranged, now has to be taken seriously. Therefore, he had to endure the anger in his heart, and he was polite again, and then personally sent Luo Xu out.

When she arrived at the Yimen, she saw that her family was driving over her own carriage, Chen Ying couldn't help but jump in her heart, and when she was about to ask, Luo Xu was already very embarrassed and said: "It's easy to get to the end of the test today, so I sent away the car and people that my family came to pick up, and only took Little Brother Chen to Mr. is both a thank you teacher and a recommendation, and the two things have become one, but I didn't expect Mr. to be happy, and he drank a few more glasses with him, and this delay was a night ban, so he simply came back with the little junior brother. By the way, the flower viewing in my Jiayi Garden on March 18 was sent to inform your mansion a long time ago, so don't forget it. ”

Chen Ying has been in the yamen most of these days, and he only pays attention to the important matters at home, and he forgot about the invitation of the Weiguo Mansion, at this time Luo Xu mentioned it again, he naturally pondered the deep meaning, and saw that people got in the car and left, but he still stood at the instrument gate with his back hand and did not move. After a long time, he finally let out a long breath of turbidity, and a sneer appeared on his face.

What do you think you can do if you worship a famous teacher and make friends with the prince of Weiguo? There is no old lady as a backer in this house, as long as the marriage of the two sisters and brothers is certain, what else can they do!

Chen Lan and Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Xu didn't know how long they had been waiting in the main room of the Tatexiang Courtyard, and Chen Ying came back with Chen Yan, and lightly explained that the prince of Weiguo had just sent people back and apprenticed. Knowing that the matter had indeed come to pass, Chen Lan was silent on his face, but he was extremely happy in his heart, while Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Xu were frowning and surprised. Chen Ying didn't say anything more, and asked Yu Shao to learn that Zhu had already slept, he only said that it was late now, and let everyone go back to their rooms to rest, and he was the first to leave.

Since he left, Mrs. Xu glanced at Chen Lan, and she hurriedly chased after Mother Wu. And Mrs. Ma looked at the door curtain that was still shaking gently after it was put down, and then turned her head to look at Chen Lan's sister and brother, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you are not very old, Xiaosi, but your heart and eyes are powerful, and you climbed up to the prince of Weiguo by light and skill." It's just that when it comes to friendship, your third uncle fought with Grandpa Guo, and the prince of Weiguo Mansion can't do much of it. ”

"The second aunt laughed, what can't be climbed, since Wei Guogong and the third uncle are robes, they can naturally be regarded as friends in our house." Chen Lan was afraid that Chen Yan would not dare to attack in front of Chen Ying, so he couldn't help but say something stinging for a while, so he said with a smile, "The fourth brother worships a famous teacher, naturally he is determined to read and reason, and the prince is a guide and a senior brother, so he should always be respectful." ”

Seeing that Chen Lan said it smoothly, Mrs. Ma sneered, after all, she was afraid that this was in the old lady's house, so she helped Zhu's mother turn around and leave. When they got out of the house, Yu Shao, who had been standing next to them, finally let out a breath, hurriedly stepped forward and took Chen Lan's hand and said, "The old lady hasn't closed her eyes, third lady, come in with me!" ”

Although he learned the news that the old lady was sick and couldn't speak at noon, he followed into the house at this time, and saw Zhu half-sitting on the bed, reaching out and grabbing Chen Lan's hand with difficulty, squirming his lips for a while but not speaking.

Chen Lan sat next to the edge of the bed for a while, and then folded the quilt for Zhu with his movable left hand, and then put his left hand and right hand together, held the right hand that Zhu stretched out, and said softly: "Old lady, the third uncle has left." I know you're worried about Imperial Doctor Lu, I sent someone out in the afternoon, and it should be delivered tomorrow. Besides, will the third uncle immediately change the green calyx jade peony for a while and a half, and will not ban me from serving the sick, we still have a few days, as long as the question book arrives, we can always relieve for a while. ”

Zhu's face was a little pale, and then he glanced at Chen Yan again, Chen Lan knew that she should have heard something intermittently in it just now, so she hurriedly came to the truth of the matter, but only said that Chen Yan was Luo Xu who met when he went out to visit the fields during his stay in Anyuan, and he formed a fate because of speculation, and the gentleman he worshipped this time was Luo Xu's teacher. Seeing that the Zhu family listened to it, she groaned, and she whispered again: "Old lady, the emperor can use the Luo family now, and the third uncle, the Marquis of Yangning, is sitting firmly, and it is not a bad thing for us to have an extra layer of friendship with the Weiguo Mansion." It is extremely rare for the fourth brother to get a famous teacher, and in case of another incident, we can still send the fourth brother to Han Hanlin to avoid it for a while, just saying that he is studying, and no one can say anything. ”

After saying something eloquently, Chen Lan saw that Zhu's eyes lit up, nodded with difficulty, and hurriedly pulled Chen Yan over, let him gently hold Zhu's hand, and said with a smile: "So, old lady, relax, don't say anything else, the emperor can respect the queen, and some things naturally can't be tolerated." At least, without Imperial Physician Liu, we wouldn't have to use that Imperial Physician Lu. As for the rest...... Your body is the capital, and bear with it for a while, and take care of it first. ”

Chen Yan had already recovered from the initial trance at this time, and he also nodded and said, "Yes, the old lady will take care of it, and I and the third sister will be filial to you in the future!" ”

Zhu's lips squirmed again, but in the end they still turned into a futile sigh. She gestured at the green calyx with her right hand, which was still moving, and the green calyx hurriedly went to fetch the clipboard and charcoal that had been made in the afternoon.

Seeing that the Zhu family struggled to write a Su character on the paper, and knocked on that word vigorously, Chen Lan frowned, and then said uncertainly: "Is the old lady afraid that the third uncle will take this opportunity to set the marriage between our family and the Su family?" ”

Receiving an affirmative answer from Zhu's eyes, thinking of Su Wan'er, who was still in the Splendid Pavilion, Chen Lan took a deep breath, and thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. After sitting there and thinking for a while, she bent down to Zhu's ear and whispered, "Old lady, I have written down this matter." ”
