Chapter 245: Lust for Profit
In the middle of the night, almost all the lights were lit in the main room and the ear room in the Tatexiang Courtyard, and even the Mingwa lamp on the sandwich road in front of the hall was lit. Many of the maids and servants who had already fallen asleep were startled out of bed, and at this time in the main room, Heling and Mo Xiang were going around the room, and finally Heling couldn't help it, and walked to Chen Lan, who was sitting on the first chair on his left, in three or two steps.
"Third Miss, it's windy again in the middle of the night, and the old lady hasn't come back yet, do you want to send someone to take a look?"
"Mother Zheng and Mother Zhang are waiting to go together, and there are two sisters of Green Calyx Jade Peony following, and there are three ladies over there, so there will be no trouble." Chen Lan motioned to the two of them to be calm and not to be impatient, but he couldn't help but think in his heart that with Chen Ying's ordinary personality, he would leave no room for doing things, but he would not leave anyone any handle if he decided to be respectful and respectful in person. I just don't know how Chen Xi and Aunt Luo are, if Chen Ying knows that she is behind this, it doesn't matter, but will Luo Xu be involved?
"It's back, it's back, the old lady is back"
As he spoke, Mo Xiang, who had just quietly walked out of the house, rushed in again. Hearing this, Chen Lan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, while Heling showed an undisguised relief, and Mo Xiang and Mo Xiang went out to call the little girl to prepare hot water and so on, and Chen Lan also put on a cloak and went out of the house to wait. After a while, she saw that the hall was gradually brightened, first the two daughters-in-law were lit, and then the four rough mothers-in-law came in with a sliding rod, followed by Zheng's mother, Zhang's mother, and the green calyx jade peony.
Chen Lan stepped forward, and the Zhu family, who saw her over there, couldn't help but sneer: "It's already late autumn, and the weather is cold, you just wait in the house, what are you going to do when you come out?" ”
"Just came out, just for a while, don't worry."
Chen Lan replied with a smile, and waited until a few mothers-in-law used spring stools to take Zhu's next, and then carried them into the house, she stepped forward to help untie Zhu's big piece and helped people into the west bedroom to settle it, and the idlers and others retreated, and then she asked: "Old lady, what is the situation in Qingxi Ju right now?" ”
"It's not in vain that you hurried over, sure enough, the third child was really angry this time, it was a slap and a kick, I couldn't see that it was the woman he usually spoiled in the palm of his hand and his most beloved daughter" Zhu remembered the embarrassed appearance when Aunt Luo and Chen Xi supported each other, first there was a trace of happiness, and then more disgust and contempt, "A manly man, he is so ruthless to women and children, he is still his own close relative, tiger poison does not eat children, what is he, even a jackal is not as good"
Chen Lanyuan only heard that Chen Ying had beaten Aunt Luo, so he hurried to the Tatexiang Courtyard, but he didn't expect that he would even beat Chen Xi together, and his face couldn't help but change greatly at this time. She didn't know Aunt Luo's temperament, but Chen Xi looked strong, but in fact, she had already suppressed too much depression in her heart, if she couldn't think about it, then this time she would do bad things with good intentions
"Old lady, how is the fifth sister now?"
Zhu glanced at Chen Lan in surprise, and saw that she frowned, and she really cared, so she couldn't help but move in her heart, and then sighed and said: "After all, he is the father of the fifth girl, and I can only grasp the big reason, and in the end, it was your third aunt who came forward and brought the fifth girl to her." If you are not at ease, you can also go over tomorrow to have a look, I think it is impossible for your third uncle to leave serious political affairs and be entangled at home all day long...... It's you, I can't imagine that you and the five girls are so good. ”
"The fifth sister is the fifth sister, and the third uncle is the third uncle." Chen Lan saw that Zhu was looking at him, so he looked back calmly, "I used to say the same thing to Xiao Si, just like the sixth brother is the sixth brother and the third uncle is the third uncle, you can't count others into it because of that idea." Can the old lady still remember what happened in Tongzhou Anyuan before? ”
Seeing that Zhu Shi pondered for a while, it seemed a little dazed, Chen Lan knew that she should not remember, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, and talked about Chen Yun and Chen Xi's completely different reactions at that time, seeing that the old lady nodded thoughtfully, she reached out and pulled the brocade quilt up for her again, and then bowed her head and said: "Therefore, I have always felt that the fifth sister has a cold face and a warm heart, although it is because of the third uncle, it is not easy to be close, but I always hope that she can live a peaceful and happy life in the future." ”
"You, everything is good, even this heart is too soft"
Zhu listened and listened, and finally couldn't help patting Chen Lan's hand, and then said lightly, "If her father has the upper hand, I will stretch out my feet at that time, not only does this family not have a place for your sister and brother to stand, but I am afraid that you will not even have a future, just look at her this time and she can't even know her own marriage, even if she is hot at that time, what can she help you?" She is not a little sixth who doesn't understand anything, since you are affectionate, I won't stop you, is there more horizontal and vertical this, your third uncle has long regarded you as a thorn in his side. I only tell you in vain, take care of yourself more, and don't be too kind-hearted. ”
Chen Lan agreed, served Zhu to lie down, and then went out of the house, put on a cloak, and took Hongluo and Yun'er, who had just come with her, back to Cuiliuju, but as soon as she entered the courtyard gate, she saw that Chen Yan had also gotten up, and was actually waiting for her in her house. After soothing the little one, she went back to her room and went to bed, but after all, she had already woken up from a dream, but when she closed her eyes slightly, she felt that the sky was bright.
After getting up early the next morning to freshen up, Chen Lan first went to the Tatexiang Courtyard to greet the Zhu family, and learned that Chen Ying had come to pay a salute very early, she felt a little more relaxed, and went straight to Qingxi Residence after breakfast. Because Chen Ting is now raised in front of the old lady, she will bring the little guy to see her mother Mrs. Xu at both ends of the three days, so this main house is also often frequent, at this time as soon as you enter the yard, someone reported it, and when you get to the door of the main house, your mother has already greeted her.
Although Mrs. Xu listened to Chen Lan's words and placed Chen Ting in the Lixiang Courtyard, she was not at ease after all, so she sent Wu's mother to serve her, and she was followed by two other mothers in front of her. At this time, she talked to Chen Lan for a while, and learned that Chen Ting was healthy and active on weekdays, so she showed a little smile, so when Chen Lan asked about Chen Xi, she was naturally in a good mood.
"I was really pitiful when I looked at her, so I left her with me. Only last night I heard that she hadn't slept all night, and she was in a trance in the morning, so I asked someone to hire a doctor, and informed the old lady that I wanted to come to the Water Mirror Hall where Mother Zheng would take care of her for a day or two. Since you have come to see her, persuade her. After a pause, Mrs. Xu added another sentence, "After all, the master left when he left today, and the official affairs of the yamen have not been so busy these days, and I am afraid that he will come back every day." ”
That's what matters even more
Chen Lan was shocked, and hurriedly agreed to Mrs. Xu, and then followed a mother who led the way out of the door. When she entered the room that was temporarily assigned to Chen Xi to live, she swept her eyes and found that the few girls in her eyes were either still childish in the general corner, or they were a little older and unfamiliar with them, and they were almost unfamiliar. So, after stepping into Chen Xi's bedroom, she directly left Hongluo and Yun'er outside.
"Fifth sister...... Fifth sister? ”
After calling twice, seeing that Chen Xi, who was in a daze on the bed, leaning on the pillow in the four directions, did not react at all, Chen Lan couldn't help but feel a chuckle in his heart, and sped up his pace to catch up. When she sat down on the edge of the bed, she instinctively grabbed Chen Xi's hand, felt that it was cold in her hand, and hurriedly raised her head to look at Chen Xi's face, and then called out again: "Fifth sister, it's all up to this, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Aunt Luo." ”
sat for half the night, and no one came to pay attention to it in the morning, but this simple sentence made Chen Xi wake up suddenly. Looking at Chen Lan stupidly, she suddenly pounced regardless of it, and hugged Chen Lan's neck and cried bitterly. At first, she was just sobbing, but gradually she stopped hiding the crying voice, and just wanted to vent all the depression and depression in her heart. She didn't know how long it took before she felt a hand gently caress her back, so she gradually stopped, and unconsciously relaxed her hand.
"Now that you're crying, you're finally better, aren't you?" Chen Lan thoughtfully handed over a pile of thin papers, and when he saw Chen Xi, he used a small stack of them, so he persuaded politely, "I know you are wronged, but just sitting like this is not a solution." Now that you've cried, tell me what's going on? ”
After experiencing these many things, Chen Xi already had an indescribable trust in Chen Lan, and at this time, she wiped her eyes with a silk handkerchief, and she made up her mind to tell what happened after the magpie reported the news last night. When she said that she learned from Aunt Luo that Chen Ying intended to marry her to King Jing as a concubine, her face unconsciously showed a little determination.
"I don't understand the words of my parents' orders, but my father first said that I had already decided the marriage between me and Luo Shizi, and then wanted to stuff me to King Jin as the second concubine, and now it is easy to set an eyebrow, but he said this again, and even beat his aunt to vent his anger for this, it was not me who stopped it at that time, if it wasn't for the second brother and the fifth brother to stop it...... Third sister, I really don't know what to do now, I was even thinking last night, it's a big deal that I twisted my hair and went into the nunnery to be a nun, and I didn't have to do this effort."
"Don't say stupid things"
Only then did Chen Lan know that there was such a hidden secret behind Chen Ying's anger, and he couldn't help but be shocked and angry. It is natural for a father to have a thousand plans and thoughts about his daughter's marriage, but Chen Ying always thinks about her own interests and only thinks about interests, and if there is disharmony, she does it like this, how can there be such a father?
And Chen Xi couldn't help but sobbed a few more times, and then said in a low voice: "At that time, my father questioned, and I refused to say anything, but he was angry and wanted to beat me again...... In order to protect me, my aunt didn't say anything about Luo Shizi, and looking at my father's posture, I am afraid that she is already angry. Third sister, you must send a message out, I'm really afraid that my father will do something drastic...... And seeing that my father already hates you, I knew that this was the case, so you might as well ignore my business and not cause trouble. Before, my mother sent someone to tell me that my father had said that he was going to kill all my girls, and she was so easy to persuade them, but she couldn't keep them, so she was about to send them out to match them...... After I came back from Tongzhou, they only followed me for a few days, I am really an ominous person, everyone who followed me ended up like this, I still stay here, isn't it harmful? ”
