The Zhu family likes that their granddaughter is famous outside, so in the past, relatives and friends came to visit during the New Year's holidays, and occasionally left the girl to stay in the Hou Mansion for a few days, but most of them were noble families. This time, Su Wan'er stayed, and where to place it became a problem. It stands to reason that she should squeeze the young ladies everywhere, it is lively and stubborn, and a few days have passed, but Su Wan'er is not the kind of relative who often comes to the house, no one is familiar with her, and no one wants to put such a person by her side. In the end, it was Zhu who spoke lightly, saying that he was placing people in the Xinuan Pavilion in his upper room.

Faced with such a disposition, everyone was taken aback, although Chen Lan was a little surprised, but all the way back to her Splendid Pavilion, she understood a little. Now the Hou Mansion is not to say that it is the same heart, it is simply to go its own way, the old lady's move, no matter what the purpose is, but after all, it is pouring another scoop of oil on the fire that is already burning extremely vigorously. As long as she makes up her mind not to mix, there is no need to panic.

Since she was injured a few years ago, a lot of things have been added to the house, which was originally not like a boudoir. The ornaments on the multi-treasure grid, the vase on the corner table, the tent hanging on the bed, the rouge gouache on the dressing table...... If the people who have been to her room come back now, they will find that this place has changed a lot. At this time, stepping into the threshold, she saw that there was a stone bonsai on the desk in the main hall, she couldn't help frowning, and then opened her mouth to ask, "Who sent this bonsai?" ”

"When I came back, Steward Liu asked a mother-in-law to follow me in." Yun'er picked up the curtain and came out of the east room, because she said with a smile, "Steward Liu said that there is a Zhuang head who is ten days late for the rent under the year, and in order to apologize and please, so he specially found some gadgets to send, and the young lady is now in charge of the house, so in addition to sending the old lady, he also paid tribute to a pot here." This stone bonsai is said to be a strange stone in Yunnan, and there is a festive name, called Double Happiness, you see this pattern, is it not like a Xi word? ”

Hearing this, Chen Lan thought for a while and asked, "How many pots are there?" ”

"How many pots are there, there are only this number." Yun'er stretched out two fingers and gestured, and explained with a smile, "This thing is very expensive, I heard that this time Wei Guogong brought into Beijing twenty basins, and distributed them to the cabinet elders and several ministers of the six ministries, as well as those from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and it will be gone in a moment." After all, strange stones are rare. ”

"It's not good to keep such a valuable thing with me, Hongluo, you call a mother-in-law and send the things to the Tatexiang Temple." Chen Lan was surprised when he saw Yun'er, and he didn't explain much, but he instructed again, "Just explain the words just now in detail, and then say that now that there is something at home, there are such good things, and please keep them with the old lady." ”

Hongluo understood, nodded and went out. Chen Lan didn't wait for the mother-in-law outside to come in, she went straight into the east room, sat down on the kang, and saw Yun'er chasing after her, but her face was still a little incomprehensible. Without waiting for him to speak, she shook her head and explained: "You don't understand the housekeepers at home, but when they saw that you were temporarily gaining power, they swarmed around you, and when they saw that you had no face, they stepped on you a few times. Let's look good now, but don't forget, the right was given by the old lady, and you can take it back at any time, don't get carried away because of a little something. ”

These words were a bit heavy, Yun'er's face was red and white for a while, and finally she nodded. Seeing that Yun'er was still listening to her words, Chen Lan breathed a sigh of relief and gave a few more warnings. Yun'er responded to everything, and at the end she curtched her knees and said, "When I went home today, my father and sister were very happy to receive those things, and told me to serve well and not to embarrass the young lady." They used to be drudgery, but now they have all switched to light work, and this is also the light of the young lady! They didn't have anything to give, only the ties and embroidered veils of their sisters. Qin Fang and Su Mu Pepper's family, I also sent things, only slightly thicker than in previous years, and they are also very grateful. …… By the way, I came back to find out why the old lady left that Su Wan'er! ”

Before the words came out, seeing Chen Lan looking at her with a smile, she suddenly stuck out her tongue: "I know, I will definitely call her Miss Su in the future, or the cousin girl will also make it, so that others will say that Miss is unruly." ”

"If you know, it's good."

Although she initially felt that Yun'er's mind was too active, and she liked to dangle in front of Chen Yan, but after really getting along for so long, Chen Lan gradually realized that this girl was just sharp-toothed, but her heart was good, and she was devoted to herself, so she no longer had the suspicious thoughts in the past. At this time, she pulled Yun'er to choose the clothes and jewelry for the Lantern Festival, and discussed for a while before finally choosing the color and style.

Apricot red small sleeves and satin short jackets, the rose purple cocoon silk face silver mouse in Zhu's award, a silver-white origami flower skirt, plus a pair of cordyceps hairpins, small beads of gold cloves, a colorful butterfly palace silk and jade ring pressed skirt, a pair of white jade bracelets, and one-color clothes and jewelry are all there. After all, even if she wanted to be low-key, she still had to nod her head from Zhu's eyes, which was just right for her to be glamorous and not vulgar.

Because Su Wan'er came, Chen Lan and several sisters were having lunch in the Lixiang Courtyard, and the things in the Water Mirror Hall had stopped early, and she had prepared the preparations at this time, and she remembered that she had left Qin Fang to deal with things in the Water Mirror Hall before, and she had never seen Zheng's mother's figure in the morning, so she didn't know where to go to visit and do business. Just as she was thinking about this, the curtain moved, but it was Qin Fang who hurriedly came in.

"Miss, according to your words, the families of the Chu Si family have already sent their children to the family, and a few of their servants were going to come in and kowtow to the old lady and the young lady, but Zhu Mother blocked the second door, saying that they had no duties, and said a lot of cool things...... I explained a few words next to me, and she also scolded me with a slap in the face. ”

"And that's how you came back?"

Chen Lan frowned, and suddenly remembered that Zhu Mother was still pretentious when she came to visit the patient. Seeing Qin Fang's face sneering and lowering her head again, she couldn't help but sigh secretly, wanting to let this honest girl show her style, but it was still a difficult task. At this time, Yun'er on the side couldn't help it, rolled up her sleeves and sneered: "I wish my mother again!" Isn't it just bullying Sister Qinfang, don't you know how to talk about it, I'll go! I want to see, now that it's all at this juncture, how can she be crossed! ”

"Stop!"

Chen Lan saw that Yun'er was about to rush out, so he immediately stopped her, and then stood up: "I returned to the old lady and asked for it in person, or I will go there in person." After all, I wish my mother is the second aunt's person, if you go alone, even if you take care of it, it's useless, if she doesn't rely on it, what else can you do to her? ”

Yun'er opened her mouth, but in the end she retreated. She said that she was a big girl, but in fact, she was second-class, if a first-class girl like Green Calyx Jade Peony went to talk about the same theory as Zhu's mother, but she was always a little bit worse. So, she had to glance at Qin Fang angrily, and muttered in a low voice and stopped making a sound.

After drinking Yun'er, Chen Lan ordered: "Hongluo went to the old lady to deliver bonsai, Yun'er, you stay in the house." Qin Fang, you follow me to Ermen, you see that you are in order to do things on weekdays, and you lose momentum in this kind of thing! I just can't fight, and it's not the same to come back in a gray way for others to see!

Qin Fang was used to tolerating it in the past, but when she heard this, she was really a little surprised, but she still agreed, and served Chen Lan to put on a jade-colored cloak and go out of the house.

All the way out, she saw that her young lady's face was grim, and she only felt that the young lady had really changed a little since she recovered from her injury. Although he still doesn't like publicity, he is no longer as tolerant as before. Although such a young lady is a little unfamiliar, it makes people feel that she is really powerful to rely on. Therefore, when she saw Mother Zhu's arrogant appearance from a distance, she unconsciously straightened her waist.
