Chapter 317: Tacit Understanding (Part II)

When he heard the funeral, Chen Lan didn't talk about the grain of rice all day, and even so, he still didn't feel hungry, and he didn't eat half a bowl of noodles until he woke up hungry in the middle of the night. The next day, she thought about whether to go back to the Yangning Hou Mansion to help, but she heard that the fourth sister Chen Yun went back to help with the cooking, and Mrs. Ma took over the errand of presiding over the housework, so she only went over in the afternoon. It wasn't until the day of the costume that she subdued the filial piety costume and returned to the house to worship. On that day, I saw the carriages and horses outside the door to worship the entire Yangning Street blocked the entire Yangning Street tightly, from top to bottom, but even if the famous officials did not show up, there were always family members who came to give gifts.

No matter what happened to Mrs. Xu during her lifetime, this posthumous mourning, I am afraid that she will be able to catch up with the old marquis Chen Yong!

Because of the great service, Chen Lan had to sleep in a separate room with Yang Jinzhou. However, what she didn't expect was that she was used to sleeping alone to being accompanied by someone by the pillow in just a day or two, and now that the pillow is empty, she can't sleep after tossing and turning, and she hasn't slept well for two or three days. At this moment, this extremely sturdy yellow huā pear stepping bed that she married made a slight noise from time to time because she often turned over. In the end, Yun'er, who was sleeping on the pedal in front of the bed, finally woke up.

"Ma'am?" Yun'er had been learning accounts with Zhuang's mother all day long, and she couldn't help but be tired, so she opened her eyes sleepily, sat up half-sat up with the pedal, and rubbed her eyes and said, "Do you want to pour a cup of tea?" ”

"It doesn't matter, you can sleep......"

Chen Lan couldn't help but be a little embarrassed. After getting married, she didn't like the girls to be on duty at night, she kept telling them to rest outside, and she had to summon them again, but tonight she forgot because of Jiang's instructions, and there were still people sleeping on the pedal below. Seeing that Yun'er was confused, she fell down and fell asleep, although she didn't fight, but the even breathing sound was envious. She leaned back on the satin-filled buckwheat core pillow, and then simply hugged the big pillow in her arms, "A few irrelevant thoughts swirled through her mind.

Fortunately, the two brothers who crossed over even changed the grass of this pillow, otherwise what kind of hard pillow such as jade, she may even become a problem to sleep...... Having said that, "The news from the Longquan Nunnery is that the owner of the Longquan Nunnery has closed the death pass, and now the acting head of the nunnery has been elected, so is there anyone in the so-called retreat place?" What does the so-called mantle of the Duke of Chu refer to, and does it have anything to do with the waves of turbulent waves in the capital today?

Thinking of these treacherous and complicated events, she miraculously gradually relaxed, and when she only closed her eyes, she was still thinking about Yang Jinzhou, "He who slept in Hanhaizhai in the outer study, is he already asleep now?" Although this point may not really be a great achievement for nine months, according to the conventional rule, "husband and wife cannot have sex together within three months."

Zhuang's mother only mentioned that she would call two long and stable girls to serve, but he didn't wait for her to open. rushed to refuse, he was not afraid of people saying that the Hedong Lion Sect at home was ......, and in the outer study, Yang Jinzhou had indeed not slept yet. He has never said that his history is only half-baked in front of people, but with a stern enlightenment Mr. Du Weifang, his foundation is extremely solid. Today, these shelves are full of books, most of which were left by his father when he was young, or given by his husband, "The small half was added by himself over the years." At the moment, reading with candles, although there is no red sleeves to add fragrance, but the quiet atmosphere is also pleasant.

At this moment, revisiting Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", he turned to a certain page, and was suddenly stopped by a sentence on the top: "If you want to go, you must fix it; "will take what you want" will be fixed to it. If you want to extinguish it, you must learn it first" pondering these simple twenty-four words, he remembered the situation when he saw Luo Xu two days ago, his heart moved, put down the book and stood up. He only paced two steps, and the voice of a little girl came from outside.

"My lord, are you going to bed?"

"Wait. You make your own bed and go to sleep, and don't worry about me......"

Hearing that the little guy outside hesitated for a moment, and then agreed, Yang Jinzhou continued to take care of himself and turned around in a circle. Just when he suddenly stopped, he noticed that there seemed to be a small commotion outside, and with a frown, he strode to the door, lifted the curtain and walked out.

"What's going on?"

The little guy was talking to someone by the gate, and when he heard the sound, he immediately turned around, and when he saw that it was Yang Jinzhou, his hand shook, and the thick blue cotton curtain fell heavily. The next moment, he quickly stood up straight and reported: "My lord, the Weiguo Mansion Yiyuan has sent a letter!" Something happened on the way, and one of the mounts broke its leg......"

"Where are the people, why don't you bring them here quickly?"

"Yes yes yes ......"

In a few moments, the messenger came into the house~ To be exact, he did not come in by himself, but was carried in by two little men. Glancing at the obvious stains on his shirt, Yang Jinzhou looked at his blue nose and swollen face for a while, his face was naturally covered with severe frost, and his tone was extremely cold.

"What's going on?"

The messenger was the scholar in Luo Xu's study, only compared to Zhou Zheng's appearance before, he was extremely embarrassed now. At this time, when he heard Yang Jinzhou's question, he threw off his two little "guys", tried his best to stand up straight and salute deeply, but one of them almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, a hand in front of him picked him up in time. When he was pressed to the chair, he suddenly became even more confused and uneasy, and hurriedly took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to both hands.

"It was my grandfather who instructed the little one to send a letter over, and I didn't want to suddenly meet a group of drunk drunks on the road. The little one thought it was a coincidence, but he didn't want them to suddenly get into trouble, thanks to someone to help, the little one could get to the mirror garden safely. ”

Yang Jinzhou did not cut the envelope with his hands, and when he heard this, his eyes were even sharper, and he immediately motioned to the other party to repeat the situation at that time. Knowing that the seven or eight drunks were hiding weapons, they actually gave up two guards and went straight to him, and the people who cut off the horse's legs first and then took him were by no means ordinary, he immediately squinted his eyes and asked the person who rescued him. He frowned thoughtfully when he learned that the men in black had chased away the drunks and disappeared without a trace, and that he and the two guards were in a hurry to deliver the letter and ignored them.

"Are your two companions hurt?"

"It's all flesh and skin wounds, don't worry...... When I first came in, a steward in the outer courtyard had already called someone to apply medicine and bandage, and the little one was in a hurry to deliver the letter in person, if the adult had a receipt, please give it to the little one to take back........."

"Take him down to wash his face first, and then take medicine and change his clothes." Seeing that the scholar was about to say more, he slowed down his tone, "I'll read the letter first, and if there is a palindrome, you will definitely be asked to bring it back." For now, you should take a break, otherwise what will happen to you on the road again? ”

When the scholar agreed, he returned to the back room, took a paper cutter from the bookcase, and then took out the two letterheads. After reading it twice from beginning to end, and making sure that nothing had been missed, he sat down on the chair behind the desk with the letter in his hand, but after a while he stared at the last sentence.

"If the messenger is wrong in this trip, it is sufficient to prove the preface."

"If you want to talk about strategizing, you are really ...... strong," Yang Jinzhou said softly. Angry, he immediately pressed his eyebrows and groaned, and he didn't know how long it took, he finally picked up his pen and began to write palindromes. However, on the wide little note, he only wrote four words on the back of the paper. After the words were dry, he folded them and put them in the envelope, and then he covered a private seal that few outsiders knew, and threw the two pieces of paper on the table into the charcoal basin in the room.

"My lord, the second door has been closed, but I want to inform the lady inside......"

"Don't alarm inside!" Yang Jinzhou gave an undoubted command, and then called him in, "How about the three of them?" ”

"Uncle Xin has seen it himself, they are all external injuries, the most serious one was stabbed in the left arm, and even worse it hurt the muscles and veins, but now the bleeding has stopped. The messenger and the other guard were probably injured from falling from their horses, but most of them were bruises, sprains, and contusions, and were fine. My lord, from Yiyuan to our Mirror Garden, we will walk across the Silver Key Bridge, and then go around the Yangfang Hutong, this area is a mansion, how can there be such an unheard of case? ”

Yang Jinzhou didn't answer, just pinched the letter and stood up: "How things are, there will naturally be a clear picture when you turn around." Take me to see them...... Remember, let everyone in front of you keep quiet, whoever leaks the news, the family law acts! Madame will also hide it for the time being! ”

Before he left the house, the fire in the charcoal basin had devoured the two pieces of notepaper, leaving only gray and black ashes.

It's just that he remembers every word and sentence on it clearly.

"Jingzhong is commonly known as the Holy Hand Liu, my best friend, originally a painter, mixed in the market wine shop and smoke huā place. However, many days ago, there was no news, and there was no trace of it, and it was suspected that it had fallen into the hands of people, and the beggar brother reached out to help. ”

"King Lu has recently haunted the rotten alleys in the outer city, and it is suspected that it is related to Guanyin Nunnery, so I hope my brother should pay more attention."

"Yangning Hou Chen Ying, the general of the guard, is said to be important by ordinary people, but my brother said otherwise. I think about it carefully, all dynasties have risen and fallen brightly, this may be light and dark, what is the general, what is the guard, ordinary people don't know, you and I are from the army, from the end of the micro, how can you not know? ”

In addition to this one major event after another, there was another sentence that he couldn't help but slightly curl up as soon as he thought of it: "Another generation of Mrs. Zhizun, the matter entrusted to the Zhang family has been obtained, and he will inform it again in the future." The skill of threading the needle and thread, a certain inscription is in the heart. Zhang's daughter is sensitive, and my mother feels light, and I am very relieved......"

It was nearly three o'clock, and the cold outside was heavier, but Yang Jinzhou didn't even wear a big hat, and his feet were getting lighter and brisker. In the past, there was a meal of mutton and a meal of wine in the mutton alley, and he completely made a frank friend like Luo Ma, but after all, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Now that Chen Lan has designed it, if that pair can finally be consummated, this one will finally be able to pass!

Since those who broke the siege were the Luo family, the place that those who intercepted were ...... It should be the letter! Since this has been proven, then the matter he discussed with Luo Xu before should be about the same!
