The last time she accompanied her grandmother, although she was not very happy because of her marriage, in the few days that Su Wan'er stayed, she really saw what a century-old wealthy family of the hairpin family was. Therefore, this time she was picked up again, although she didn't have time to prepare too much in a hurry, but she also gathered all the needlework she did on weekdays in one go. After meeting the Zhu family, the girls from the green calyx down were all a purse, and when they arrived at Chen Lan's Splendid Pavilion, they scattered many things such as fan bags and sachets.

Chen Lan knew that Su Wan'er was good at drilling camps, but the people in her yard had undergone a major blood exchange, and all of them were all under her control, so she didn't pay attention to it when she saw that her long-sleeved dance was good everywhere, and she stared at Yun'er, who had sharp teeth and bright eyes. It's just that after Su Wan'er gave a gift to Chen Bing, Chen Yun, and Chen Xi's sisters, she immediately gave her another with a smile, which was a green willow leaf. Although she has honed her own needlework for a while, this kind of needlework is not bad, but she has to admit that Su Wan'er is ingenious, and her patterns are better than ordinary willow leaves.

Knowing that Su Wan'er was coming last night, although Chen Lan slept in the Tatexiang Courtyard in the second half of the night, he also thought about the return gift when the other party sent something, so he nodded at Qin Fang at this time. Qin Fang understood, took out a purse from under the pillow and presented it to both hands, Chen Lan took it and handed it to Su Wan'er.

"Thank you cousin for your trouble. I used to live outside the city, and I did a few color sewing and threading in my spare time. Inside the purse is the newly cast Yongxi Tongbao of the household, most of us have divided some pressure boxes, and my cousin keeps it for good luck. ”

Su Wan'er originally gave the gift in order to leave a good reputation up and down, and she didn't expect anyone else to give anything in return, so when she saw Chen Lan's prepared posture, she couldn't help but be secretly happy in her heart, and she took it and thanked her for a while. A few copper coins are naturally worthless, but every time the household mints money, there will always be a batch of trial casting for the Son of Heaven before the imperial view, these are more vivid than the final circulation of the text clear and vivid, often to the bottom of the box for the official eunuchs, the people even do not hesitate to buy a few pieces at a high price when they get married, more than gold and silver.

With such a mutual gift, the two spoke more cordially, Su Wan'er was interested in inquiring about Zhu's plan to take her to live this time, while Chen Lan was thinking about how to complete Zhu's instructions, and at the same time took out the reminder that should be reminded. However, before she could start the carriage on her side, the sound of a red snail came from outside the compartment.

"Third Miss, Sister Jade Peony has come to deliver the materials for the summer shirt."

A total of eight sets of spring shirts have just been delivered, so where is the time to send summer clothes? Chen Lan knew that this was the Zhu family that had already started to move, so he sighed secretly in his heart, and still stood up. Sure enough, the red snail opened the curtain, and Yu Shao entered the door with four little girls, each holding one or two horses in their hands.

After everyone stepped forward one by one to salute, Jade Peony left those things on the kang. Su Wan'er saw Yu Shao explain to Chen Lan that this is fine ge, this is Haige, this is Zhangsha, and this is soft Luo...... All in all, she had heard others say those names and secretly memorized them, but it was the first time she had actually seen various colors. She thought that the set of clothes on her body was good enough, but when Chen Lan smiled and asked her to help pick and rub those fine and tough materials, her face unconsciously showed a different color.

Yu Shao saw it in her eyes, and said with a smile next to her: "The old lady also said that if the young master is named on the gold list this time, he will have to choose a museum, and if he chooses Shu Jishi, he will have to read books together for three years, and then the old lady Su and Miss Biao will be lonely, so why don't they both live at home for a while." Please also ask Miss Biao to pick out this summer shirt and make a few of the same. ”

When Su Wan'er heard this, she suddenly felt a burst of joy in her heart, but her face showed hesitation, or a few little girls next to her pouted, so she was embarrassed to choose Xige and Soft Luo. When Yu Shao took the little girls to put away her things, she intentionally or unintentionally talked about her brother's mentorship in her hometown in front of Chen Lan, and the ink scroll also reached the head of the examiner and the examiner of the current subject, and finally said that the last test of tomorrow is over, and the candidates can appear.

If it was possible, Chen Lan really didn't want to be so scheming with others, but there was no way at the moment, she had to deal with Su Wan'er, a delicate cousin. Not long after the words were spoken, she saw Yun'er holding a box and passing by recklessly, knowing that the next moment she was very likely to fall on the ground and drop everything out, her heart was full of anger, and she couldn't help but call: "Slow down!" I'm packing up again, take it and see! ”

Yun'er was already ready to take advantage of the trend, but when she heard this meaningful reprimand, she hurriedly moved over, and said in anticipation: "Miss, it's the old red gold jewelry that you asked us to help sort before, I found a few little girls to pick them together, and sent them back to be remelted." ”

"Something is melting at this time!" Chen Lan said in his mouth, seeing that Su Wan'er's gaze moved elsewhere after a glance, he took the box and opened it. The moment she opened the box, she found that Su Wan'er quickly glanced at the neatly stacked row of golden hairpins and golden hairpins in the box, and then turned her head with a smile and whispered something to the girl she brought, she gently closed the lid, reprimanded Yun'er a few words, and then nodded and motioned for her to take it.

After these two trips, she finally got tired of this boring temptation, and casually found an excuse to send her girls outside. Seeing that although Su Wan'er's face was calm, her two hands were tightly closed, she thought about it in her heart, and asked in a joking tone: "My cousin is one year older than me, and she has been outside before, and I am afraid that I have seen a lot of customs and customs all the way to the capital, and my knowledge is naturally no better than mine, and I don't know who will be blessed to marry a family in the future." ”

After all, Su Wan'er had read the Four Books and Five Classics and knew the etiquette and law well, and she knew that Chen Lan was astute, so she didn't dare to take this as a joke. But the frost on the side is different, knowing that this time it is a great opportunity to enter the Hou Mansion again, seeing that her young lady did not speak, she interjected with a smile: "Third Miss, my young lady's female red cooking skills are all good, and the poems and songs are all unambiguous, not a slave boasting, it is difficult to find a lantern like my young lady, even if she is a princess, she is full of qualifications......."

Before she finished speaking, an angry shout interrupted her touting: "Shuang'er, how can you intervene here!" ”

After scolding Shuang'er, Su Wan'er lowered her head when she saw that she was not angry, and simply kicked the person out again, and then apologized to Chen Lan, and then wringed her hands and hesitated for a while, she finally turned her heart sideways, lowered her head and said, "Third sister, there are some things you don't know." My parents both died early, and my grandmother raised me with my eldest brother. Only in the eyes of her old man, her daughter's family is not only useless, but also has to pay the dowry, so she has always only cared about her eldest brother and does not pay much attention to me. But I only have two relatives like my grandmother and eldest brother, why don't I think of their good? If possible, I naturally hope that I can support my eldest brother in the future. Although the eldest brother looks pedantic, he will eventually learn from a famous teacher, as long as he can rely on a good wind, he will naturally be able to rise to the top. ”

There were both sincere confessions and explicit hints, but Chen Lan thought of Xue Baochai's sentence "With the strength of the good wind, send me to the clouds", he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart. Following Yun'er's words just now, she took advantage of the situation and smiled: "If my cousin becomes a princess, wouldn't she be able to promote your eldest brother?" ”

"I'm so good at pleading with you, and you're still laughing at me!" Su Wan'er's face was slightly disgusted, and then she lowered her head and sighed, "How can I have that blessing, the princess said that she didn't pick her background, but how many princesses from real folk backgrounds were not selected by virtue of their families?" Not to mention the princess, even those princes and wives who have serious orders, they are all the same. ”

How can there be such a blessing, Chen Lan couldn't help but sigh secretly, knowing that he was probably worried in vain, but he still said with a smile: "What my sister said is also true, but marrying into the palace may not be a blessing." Those highnesses are all golden branches and jade leaves, they have never broken off people around them since they were children, and they should be virtuous and not jealous when they are the princesses of the main family, and they will sit and watch the flowing water around him continue to add people. As a lady in the side room, I have to pay tribute to the main room, and I have to be pushed by others, and my life is very sad. ”

"But how many families in the world are not like this? Even if it is a small family, if you have two money, you will buy a concubine at home, not to mention the royal family? Su Wan'er couldn't help but blurt out, then regretted her words, and hurriedly confused her with a smile, "Cough, what are you talking about this decently, I can't be a princess, isn't it my sister, what kind of letter did you get yourself?" ”

He had already said what he needed to say before, and he had already figured out Su Wan'er's attitude, and Chen Lan no longer had any temptation, just thinking about reporting to the Zhu family, so that he could put this bad thing aside. However, she perfunctory Su Wan'er and found an excuse to ask Mrs. Xu about something, but she didn't go far with Hongluo and Ruixue when she came out of the Splendid Pavilion before she collided with Lai's mother who was running quickly. Lai's mother breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her, and then hurriedly invited her to go to the Tatexiang Courtyard, but she refused to say anything.

All the way to the Tatexiang Courtyard, Chen Lan found that there was no sound here. There was no one in the courtyard, and when she entered the bright room of the main house, she was also alone, until she stepped into the east room, she saw the green calyx and the jade peony standing on Zhu's side, but she didn't see Zheng's mother. Seeing her come in, Zhu nodded lightly, Lai's mother quietly retreated, and the green calyx jade peony also hurriedly went out to guard.

At this moment, Chen Lan found that Zhu's eyes showed an indescribable emotion, and he immediately knew that there must be some terrible news outside. However, the old lady's two sentences in a row shook her all at once.

"Your eldest cousin of the Jin Wangfu sent the news out so easily - saying that someone made a comment to His Royal Highness the King of Jin, asking His Royal Highness to write to the emperor to abolish her as a princess. At this point, you have to prepare for the worst...... If there is really a case, the Ministry of Rites must choose another famous Shuyuan, and our family is naturally also in the case of selection, no matter your age, appearance and temperament, you are the most suitable. ”
