Chapter 65: Betrayal and Divorce? Retreat
Tateka-in temple is the second room of the landlord.
It's just a moment. The room, which had just been full of people, became empty. Lu Calyx waited for Zhu's to drink water, and was about to send Yu Peony to see what was going on with Chen Lan, when she suddenly found that the other two first-class girls were missing, and immediately frowned, and after asking Yu Peony, she found that the other party didn't know at all, she just saw Lan Xin enter the door, and hurriedly beckoned someone to come forward.
"Go and look for it, see where your Sister Furong and Sister Muxi are!
Lan Xin only replaced Hongluo to the second class a few years ago, and she was full of hope that she could get the old lady's blue eyes and do something. But the really important errands are all managed by four first-class girls, she said that it is second-class, but in fact, there is not much difference between what she does and the little girl, except for being able to serve in front of her with tea and water, and she still has endless needlework and thread at hand. Seeing that Hongluo still had a head and face in the Lixiang Courtyard because she followed the third lady Chen Lan, she was full of dissatisfaction.
At this time, Lu Calyx ordered her to find someone, she was reluctant, but she didn't dare to disobey the most powerful big girl next to the old lady, so she agreed, but her eyes turned and she remembered what she saw when she went to Ermen to ask questions before, and immediately pretended to hesitate and said, "When I just came back from Ermen." Seeing Sister Furong and Sister Muxi, it seemed that they were going in the direction of Cuiliuju. ”
As soon as she heard this, Green Calyx was taken aback, and when she was about to ask, a cold voice suddenly came from behind her: "When is it?" ”
Lan Xin caught a glimpse of the Zhu family on the kang staring at herself, hurriedly crossed the green calyx and took two steps forward, knelt down and whispered: "After the previous dispersal, Sister Green Calyx asked the slave maid to go to the second gate to ask who came back with the third master, and the slave asked to come back with the third master, and the slave and maid asked to come back, but when they turned the road, they saw the two sisters going in the direction of Cuiliuju. The slave and maid called out to them, but they didn't answer, but quickened their pace as if they hadn't heard, and after a while they were gone. The slave was afraid that it would delay the matter, so she didn't dare to chase it anymore, so she rushed back. ”
"Yes, very good!" Zhu Shi laughed angrily, he didn't know where he got the strength, and he knocked down the entire kang table at once, "It's strange that he dared to do that in front of me, it turned out that he had already bought the inner ghost!" The person I worked so hard to train was so gently and skillfully co-opted by him! ”
Seeing Zhu's anger, Lu Cao wanted to come forward to comfort, but when he heard this last sentence, his heart was suddenly awe-inspiring, and he knelt down silently after a little thought. The jade peony on the side was also bluffed, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt side by side with the green calyx. See this. Lan Xin thought that she had seized the best opportunity, and hurriedly took two steps forward on her knees, adding fuel to the suspicious behavior of Furong and Mu Xi, but before she finished speaking, she was slapped heavily on the face, and she was knocked to the ground. When she struggled to raise her head, she saw that Zhu was staring at her with an angry face, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
"The old lady spared her life, but the slave said the wrong thing......"
"Why didn't you say it earlier!" After Zhu roared such a sentence, he felt panicked in his heart, and then forcibly suppressed the urge to continue scolding, and shouted at the green calyx, "What are you doing on your knees, pull her down, there is no need for such an eyeless thing in the Lotus Courtyard!" Let's take a look at the three girls again, it won't take long for Imperial Doctor Liu to prescribe a prescription! ”
Seeing Lan Xin kneeling on the ground, the sideburns had become a mess because of the slap and the fall to the ground just now, and the person was trembling like sifting chaff, and a trace of disgust suddenly appeared in his heart. Even if Furong and Mu Xi really had some collusion with the third master, they didn't look at what time it was, they had to reveal it. This intention alone is hateful enough, and it adds oil and vinegar to say so much! If this is true, if this girl spreads rumors, when the old lady is angry, won't she hurt two people in vain?
However, although she said that she could use it, she was just a girl, so she had to agree and get up, and shouted loudly outside, and then two mothers-in-law came in and took Lan Xin out. And Yu Shao didn't look at Lan Xin, and hurriedly ran out. As soon as she left the room, she saw Chen Lan coming over with a red snail, and immediately stepped forward with a sigh of relief.
"The third lady came just in time, the old lady is furious, none of us dare to speak, let alone persuade ......"
As soon as Chen Lan heard that the Zhu family was angry again, he immediately raised his eyebrows, and then saw two mothers-in-law coming out of it with a girl with a cloak. She was wondering what was going on, but she saw that the girl desperately broke free from the two mothers-in-law, crawled to her with a rolling belt, and reached out to pull her skirt. Startled, she hurriedly took a step back, and the red snail quickly dodged and stopped in front, but the cannibal hugged her legs.
"Third Miss, you plead for the slave maid, the slave maid is just confused for a while, not intentionally......"
Lan Xin was twisted by the two mothers-in-law before she finished speaking, and then saw that it was Hongluo who was holding just now, and hurriedly begged again: "Sister Hongluo, help me plead with the third lady." For the sake of us entering the house together......"
This time, a mother-in-law directly stuffed a rag ball into Lan Xin's mouth, blocking all her voices, and then hurriedly stepped forward and curtsied to Chen Lan and said, "The third miss forgives the sin, it was the little two who didn't hold the little hoof, which shocked the third miss." She is usually the most cunning person who stepped on the low and the high, and she deserved to be kicked out this time! ”
After saying this, as if they were afraid that Chen Lan would speak to Lan Xin, the two of them took Lan Xin's arm and hurriedly escorted people out, and they could vaguely hear their voices scolding Lan Xin. Seeing this scene, Yu Shao hurriedly pulled Chen Lan, and only when she entered the main hall did she whisper: "It was all her fault just now, in front of the old lady, she said that Furong and Mu Xi went to Cuiliuju, so the old lady was furious." Speaking without looking at the occasion, the old lady was already holding back the fire in her heart, how could she still mention this? The third lady doesn't want to listen to her, don't mention it, when the matter is over, a few of our sisters will try to find a way for her. ”
Chen Lan stopped saying anything when he heard this, but Hongluo knew that Lan Xin usually liked to drill camps the most, and he was a little bitter. When the matter is over, none of the girls in Tatekain will speak for it. But she knew that the act just now was the most taboo, so she didn't say much, sent Chen Lan to the door of the east room, and stopped following up.
The still angry Zhu saw Chen Lan come in with a prescription, so he eased his face, and without waiting for anyone to salute, he called her to sit down in front of him, and ordered the green calyx and jade peony to go out. Today, Chen Ying's sudden return gave her a heavy blow, and the sudden change in posture made her feel for the first time that things were not always under control. Coupled with the recurrence of the old illness, she once again felt a deep exhaustion after the will of the previous time, and she was only barely able to cheer up at this time.
Therefore, seeing that Chen Lan was about to hand over the prescription, she shook her hand lightly and said, "Don't look at it." I've been taking medicine for years, what will happen to me? It's just a rehash of the same old tune. In addition to the decoction, let him make some pills, and he can use them when he gets sick, so that's all. ”
Chen Lan did not nod as Zhu imagined, but hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Old lady, although your illness has been a long-standing illness for many years, it was not a serious illness originally, but I was really worried just now, so I forced Imperial Doctor Liu, and he said...... Your illness is not a big problem, but because you have too much energy these days, I am afraid that there will be some difficulties. ”
The Zhu family was going to tell Chen Lan about the queen's Qianqiu Festival, but when she heard this, her heart suddenly sank. After a long illness, her heart disease fell very early, because she listened to the doctor's instructions as long as she took the medicine on time, the time of seizure was very rare, but she had many attacks in a short period of time recently, and she herself was not without muttering. At this moment, she only felt a chill behind her back, stared at Chen Lan for a while, and then ordered her to go into the corner room first, and ordered the green calyx to pass Imperial Doctor Liu in. I asked Mrs. Liu again in person, and when she heard him say those words of recuperation, she only felt that all her strength was lost all of a sudden, and she leaned softly on the pillow.
As soon as Chen Lan waited for Imperial Doctor Liu to go out, he hurriedly came out of the room, knelt down on one knee in front of the kang, and said in a low voice: "Old lady, everything is not important to your body, why don't you find a place, my fourth brother and I will accompany you to recuperate for a few days." ”
"Recuperate? Didn't you see your third uncle's appearance today? When we come back, this Hou Mansion will be his! ”
It was the first time for Zhu to speak to her naked and unabashedly, so Chen Lan calmed down, and said calmly: "But if you stay in the mansion, some things make the old lady angry, if there is really a good one, what if it is good?" No matter what, the old lady is the Marquis of Yangning, and she will recuperate for a while, and someone will pay attention to the affairs of the capital, and she can report it anytime and anywhere. It's the emperor, who just rewarded our Hou Mansion, and learned that the old lady went out of the mansion to recuperate, and he must pay attention to the situation of our family. As for the subordinates, there is only a part of this Hou Mansion, even if they all have an outside heart, and those who are idle outside plus the Zhuang Shang, they will not worry about no one calling them in the future. ”
At this moment, Zhu was finally taken aback. Just now that Imperial Physician Liu said those words, she understood that even if she had a thousand means, this dynamic qi was the biggest weakness, Chen Ying didn't even have to come forward in person, she only needed to put some news in her ears slightly, and she might not be able to turn people upside down. But she really didn't expect that Chen Lan could think so thoroughly. Her daughter is a Korean duchess, and her granddaughter is Princess Jin, who is said to be close, but after all, she is already from another family, and she can help her in the affairs of the Chen family...... Changfang has such a useless Lao Tzu, but there is such a smart daughter of ice and snow.
"Okay...... It's just that those other businesses are too far away from Beijing. ”
Chen Lan smiled slightly: "The old lady forgot the grange on the edge of the Chaobai River in Tongzhou that the emperor just gave back?" Last time, Zhang Zhuangtou also sent someone back to report that the first Zhuang Zhuang, who was in charge of Huangzhuang, had built a boss manor in it, and now even the house was left. ”
Zhu couldn't help but groan. There are several Houfu other industries, the best of which are in the south of the Yangtze River, the remaining two are one in Zhending Mansion and one in Baoding Mansion, but they are far away from Beijing, the grange on the side of the Chaobai River in Tongzhou is very close to Beijing, and it only takes two hours to gallop horses, this place is just the most suitable!
"Okay, in that case, I'll take you out of the Hou Mansion to recuperate for a few days, and wait for the queen's Qianqiu Festival to talk about it! As soon as he came back, he forced my mother to go out to recuperate, and I want people to see his filial piety! ”
