Cuiliuju's house is much more spacious than the previous Fangfei Pavilion, and it lives next to his sister, which was originally Chen Yan's happiest thing, but since he came back from Dufu to celebrate his birthday that day, Chen Yan suddenly became irritable. The irritable temper that had gradually changed before gradually raised his head again, and the slightest mistake of the girls was a scolding of the head and face, and in the end, even a big girl like Dew Drop Chunyu was very careful when serving him.

Others only say that the long house is rising, so his temper is rising, and only he knows what is going on. Chen Lan and the Zhu family's plan he knew when he came back that day, and he also heard that the Chen family and the Du family were discussing marriage. For such a small sister to become his unmarried wife, not only did he reject it, but he was also a little happy, but when he thought of what his sister said to Luo Xu, he always felt uncomfortable. If it weren't for his sister's repeated warnings, he almost impulsively wanted to ask the county lord of Yixing several times.

This morning, before going to Han Hanlin's side for class, he couldn't help it and went straight to the Water Mirror Hall, ignoring the housekeeper's mother and daughter-in-law who were waiting for something, and directly dragged Chen Lan to the next room. Thinking that there was a red snail watching outside, he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and said bluntly: "Sister, is there really no way to give marriage?" ”

"How?" Chen Lan raised his eyebrows, and then said lightly, "The old lady has asked Concubine De Niangniang to inquire, but the inner palace can't interfere in this matter, and even Concubine Xian Niangniang and the county lord may not be able to get it accurately, otherwise they will definitely deliver a message." Don't worry about this incident, so far, you can only take one step at a time, are you still worried that I will be bullied? ”

Chen Yan looked at Chen Lan's calm eyes that seemed to contain infinite flames, and only felt some palpitations. But before he could speak, Chen Lan smiled slightly: "You are my younger brother, you should know what my personality is." Just like the old lady said, since it is a marriage, there is no need to worry about people being contemptuous, and after I get married, as long as I do what I should do, take the resources at hand, and do not leave a handle to others, what else is there to worry about? Instead of worrying about this, you might as well fight for yourself and support my sister in the future, right? ”

These words were like a dose of fierce medicine, which suddenly aroused the fighting spirit in Chen Yan's heart. He nodded his head almost without hesitation, and then reached out and hugged Chen Lan fiercely regardless of it, and then let go of his hand. I don't know if it's because of the excitement or something else, his words are a little urn-like.

"Sister, don't worry, I won't let you down"

Seeing Chen Yan turn around and stride away, Chen Lan showed a cold smile. She has always known how difficult it is for women in this era, even if she was as noble as the Zhu family and ruthless methods, she was almost defeated in the hands of her concubine Chen Ying, not to mention others. Therefore, she has worked hard for more than half a year, not to win a good husband, but to fight for the most solid support for herself.

Now she's pretty much done. Grandmother Zhu's trust gave her a rich dowry, and her younger brother Chen Yan had a mentor and in-laws as help, as long as she competed for energy, she could become a weapon, and the county lord of Yixing was even willing to recognize her as a goddaughter...... All of this is more reliable than a husband who is completely unknown, or at most knows that he is now noble and powerful, and does not know what he will do in the future. The worst ending is just for her to relive Zhu's experience.

Chen Lan took a deep breath, gently covered the jade tiger given by the queen on his chest, and walked out of the door steadily. In the main room of the Water Mirror Hall, Chen Xi was sitting there, but the housekeeper's daughter-in-law and mother were all looking at her, and there were doubts and curiosity in their eyes, but more awe.

"It's okay, let's move on."

Although Chen Xi was also very strange about what Chen Yan said to Chen Lan in the house, since Chen Lan didn't have the interest to mention it, she naturally thought it was not the same thing, and as for the people below, they didn't dare to test it casually. When the discussion was over, the two sisters had breakfast in the east room, followed by all kinds of trivial things. By the time everything was almost clear, the sun had risen high, and the room with the ice basin was getting hotter and hotter.

Chen Lan and Chen Xi are both sitting, but the weather is really too hot, and they are sweating again, so they hurriedly wash their faces. Before she could get her hair back straight, a mother hurried in the door. Although she saw that the big handkerchiefs on the chests of the two young ladies had not been taken off, and it was obvious that she had not yet made up her makeup, she still hurriedly reported it after saluting.

"Third Miss, Fifth Miss, the Third Master sent a letter back, saying that he would come back tonight."

Chen Ying entered Beijing a long time ago, but because some affairs have not been sorted out clearly, he has been living in the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army these days, so when he heard that Chen Ying was coming back, Chen Lan was not too surprised, but Chen Xi's face turned slightly pale. The two sisters exchanged glances almost instantly, and then Chen Lan opened his mouth first and asked, "What other message does the third uncle have to bring back?" ”

"Then there won't be." The mother who spoke shook her head and said with a smile, "It was the little guy who sent the letter back who rapped, saying that the reward set by the cabinet had been approved, and the military department was transferred to the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army." Wei Guogong Jia Lu rice thousand stones, reward gold, silver, silk silk silk is better, I heard that there are two swords, four good bows, four royal horses, and a son of Yin for the guard. The prince of Weiguo was also praised for his meritorious inspection. Under his command, the governor of the Chinese army, the governor of Zhou, the governor of Jin, was named Tai'anbo, and there were a lot of gold and silver in the table, and the rest of the generals were from the first to the third class of the officials, and they were given gold, silver, cattle and horses. Because of the beheading of the commander of Tiance Wei Yang, he entered the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army, the Governor of the Mansion, and the Governor of the World, and the acting position of the Divine Machine Battalion. It is said that he also gave it to his father and his mother, and all his subordinates also had their own rewards. As for the third master, it seems that the emperor is also very satisfied with his measures, but the rest of the things are not yet accurate. ”

The mothers and daughters-in-law in the house are all servants of the Marquis of Yangning, and listening to these rewards one by one, their faces showed endless envy. Only Chen Lan and Chen Xi didn't seem to pay attention to this, and sent the mother away, one went to the Tatexiang Courtyard, and the other went back to the Qingxi Residence, and when they dispersed, others started to talk about it. Speaking of this reward, a mother smiled and said: "That Lord Yang is really fast, last time he was just walking in the brocade guard, and now he is a general." ”

"What is this, if you want to say that you will rise fast, who can compare to Wei Guogong? How many years has it been since he went from the commander of the capital to the earl to the prince? ”

"What do you know, how old is Wei Guogong, how old is that Lord Yang? If you make another contribution, you may be an earl."

"That is, the third master of our family has been in the army for many years, if it weren't for the second master's bad things, this may not have a title."

In the Tatexiang Courtyard, Zhu heard Chen Lan relay those court rewards, and after a while, he looked at Chen Lan and said: "It is said that it is a reward drawn up by the cabinet, but the original draft must be submitted by the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War." Wei Guogong is rewarded, and now he has 4,000 stones of rice every year, even if he counts the former princes, none of them can compare to him. There is also that Commander Yang, who now looks like the second Duke of Weiguo. ”

Since the news of Yingchang's victory and Luomahe's victory spread, Chen Yan inquired about the reward and punishment procedures, and had to tell Chen Lan. At this time, she smiled and continued: "Xiao Si came back that day and said that the combat merits are second-class, the miraculous merits are the first, and the first merit is secondary." The first merit is fourth-class, and it is based on the north. There is also a first-class national merit, which is to reopen the territory. Wei Guogong is an earl who has been awarded many times for his barbarian exploits, and he was a little reluctant at first, but later took advantage of the civil strife in Burma to pacify Burma in one fell swoop, and now the southwest territory has expanded a lot. As for Commander Yang's reward this time, firstly, because Pingbei beheaded 800 levels, the first merit was unbelievable, and in addition, it had to be counted as a miracle merit, and the two were rewarded together, so it was so far. As for what the old lady said...... I'm afraid it was indeed the emperor's intention to cultivate. ”

"That's what I meant."

Zhu thought that the rise of the Weiguo Gongluo family was jaw-dropping, not only the military exploits, but also the relationship between relatives, which was naturally the cultivation of the emperor, seeing that the Marquis of Dongchang fell, Guangning Bo was defeated, and the old nobles of the family were bleak, most of them were because the Weiguo Gong was holding their feet, and the nobles who had fallen could not rebound? I just don't know what the inside story of the previous turmoil is, and whether it will be implicated in a big deal again.

In the evening, Chen Ying, the Marquis of Yangning, who had been away from home for nearly four months, finally returned home. Others are in Xuanfu, and at first, the news at home will be reported to their ears all the time, but later the war was together, he had to continue to investigate the case, on the other hand, he had to wipe the ass of the King of Jin, who made random moves, and on the other hand, he had to deal with the officials in the Xuanfu, and the affairs at home gradually became incomprehensible. It wasn't until he returned to the capital that he was also in the Left Army Governor's Mansion to deal with many military changes in Liaodong, and he couldn't move for a while, and it wasn't until he was going home today that he remembered to ask about the changes in his family in the past few months. It's okay not to ask, but after asking, his face was gloomy from the moment he entered the door.

His family moved from Cuiliuju to Qingxi Residence on the middle road, and the sisters and brothers of the long house actually occupied Cuiliuju in the name of justice

Before the queen died, Chen Lan actually lived in the palace for more than half a month

After Chen Yan worshiped under Han Hanlin, he learned archery and horses from the lord of Yixing

The old lady Zhu somehow got in touch with Du Weifang, the second assistant who had just entered the cabinet

The two sisters in the second room, one was given to the prince of Runing Boshi, and the other was given to Su Yi, all of which were dowries purchased by the old lady

This series of events made him feel quite overwhelmed. The only fortunate thing is that although he went to Xuanfu this time and did not make such immortal contributions to those two, the case was clearly investigated, and he did not shirk the blame for negligence

As long as he doesn't make mistakes, as long as he can stand firmly, Zhu will never succeed no matter how much he plans, and besides, what he can do is far more than not making mistakes

PS: I really didn't expect the book review area to make such a fuss, Yali is huge...... In fact, I also know that the safest way to write this kind of essay is to write scum with male partners, so everyone will naturally give up, but I am reluctant. The first half of this chapter is Chen Lan's view of marriage, which I think is very in line with the choice of a calm modern woman after becoming a lady in ancient times. As for the reward for military achievements, see the rules of the Ming Dynasty, "Open Territory", "Zhanbei", "Pingman", "Suppression", and beheading. Of course, the opening of the frontier is set by Lin Changhui as a modern person, which is very in line with the style of the male protagonist who dominates the stream.
