Splendid Pavilion is the landlord of the Warm Pavilion.

Chen Lan is taking Yun'er to check the box, because a group of people have just changed yesterday, there is not a single figure in the Splendid Pavilion as usual, or the girls are all lazy on the fire. Now the second-class girls are three Hongluo Qin Fang Yun'er, the third-class girls are Sumu Pepper Ruixue and the new rose, and the little girls who are responsible for sprinkling and sweeping and miscellaneous servants are six, plus two rough envoys. Because her nursing mother died at an early age, the mother of the family could not choose it for the time being, so she put it on hold.

It was only when he was sorting out his things that Chen Lan knew how embarrassing the life of the original owner had been in the past. On a cold day, the only clothes that can be worn to avoid the snow are an old coat with red felt, not only the wind hair on the cuffs and placket has been worn out to the point that it is not visible, and there are traces of sewing and mending in several inconspicuous places. As for the clothes of the four seasons, there seem to be a lot of them, and there are only a few decent clothes made of silk, and the rest are coarse cloth, fine cloth, and some are covered with stains and embroidery...... All in all, there's a lot of everything. Compared with the two sets of high-quality winter clothes sent by the Zhu family during the Chinese New Year, it is like the difference in the mud in the clouds.

Therefore, looking at the old clothes on the kang, she thought for a while and said to Yun'er on the side: "Don't you envy my needlework?" You and Qinfang Red Snail each pick one piece, and the rest should be put away. ”

"Miss herself still wears these old clothes? In addition to the old lady, there are also two carved silk jackets given by the princess, the young lady is a year older after the New Year, how can she still wear the old ones! ”

"It's not that I haven't worn it before, so what's the tightness of the old and new clothes! Those few can still be worn, and they may be useful in the future. ”

Chen Lan Zhengzai carefully folded the shirts and skirts, and a voice came from behind him: "The third lady is a person who lives a life, and she cherishes things so much." ”

Hearing this, Chen Lan was stunned, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Zheng's mother who entered the house with a smile on her face. Thinking that there was clearly someone left outside just now, but Zheng's mother was still able to enter the room like this, she couldn't help but be shocked, and then quickly stood up: "Zheng's mother is here, please take a seat." ”

Mother Zheng smiled and nodded, and sat on the kang with Chen Lan half-pushed and half-sitting, and then took a carved lacquer box from the hand of the girl next to her and gently placed it on the kang table.

"It was the old lady who asked me to deliver something to the third lady. In three days, it will be the plum blossom viewing of the palace, and the clothes and jewelry must be ready, and these head and face jewelry can be used. ”

Although the box was well covered, Chen Lan had already sensed the preciousness of the things inside from the heavy weight just now, and hurriedly thanked him. Mother Zheng gently opened the lid again, and pushed the thing in front of Chen Lan, because she said with a smile: "The old lady originally collected a lot of noodles, but most of them were old goods, so a few days ago, I specially went to the old gold and silver shop in Desheng Ji and ordered some new patterns of jewelry." ”

Chen Lan just glanced at it, and saw the gold and jade splendor inside, and he knew that this box was worth a lot of money, so he showed an uneasy expression. Mother Zheng saw that Su Mu Pepper who followed her eyes straightened, and she was extremely satisfied, so she sat down and said a few words before leaving in a hurry. And as soon as she left, Su Mu hurriedly stepped forward.

"Miss, Mother Zheng came suddenly, Sister Qinfang just took Rui Xue to the kitchen, I wanted Pepper to come in and report, but a girl who came with her stopped Pepper, so it was too late."

Chen Lan wanted to ask the rest of the little girls, but he thought that these people were all newly selected, but he was afraid that it would be too late to see Zheng's mother, so he didn't care about himself, and secretly thought that when Hongluo came back, he would have to teach him well. Looking at the three-layer carved lacquer box on the kang table, she took Yun'er and Su Mu pepper to put things out, and after a while, the kang table was full, and the dazzling array of things almost dazzled the eyes of the three girls, even Chen Lan was a little stunned.

Although the inlay workmanship may not be as good as that of later generations, you can take a look at these heads - a gold collar inlaid with treasure dots, a peony pearl hairpin decorated with southern pearls and emerald leaves, a golden hairpin with a four-color pattern of plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum, a delicate palace and jade pendant used to press the skirt, a pair of cat's eye lilacs and ropes...... There are more than a dozen of them, all of which are exquisite. According to Yun'er, who often goes out to hang out, even if Desheng does the business of the old minister, it will not be able to build it in a while, and it must have been prepared very early.

While everyone was counting and packing up these valuable heads, the red snail flashed in from outside. Seeing this, she hurriedly stepped forward and curtsied, and whispered: "I just came back from the Tatexiang Temple, and I heard that Mother Zheng went to Cuiliuju first, and also brought such a carved lacquer box, and then came here. ”

Hearing this, Chen Lan immediately raised his eyebrows thoughtfully. It seems that now the old lady was a little panicked by the sudden thunderous action of the Son of Heaven, so she already had the intention of enveloping the three rooms.

She was not in a hurry, but Yun'er next to her was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Miss, the old lady has always disliked the third room, and she doesn't like the fifth lady, why did she suddenly send someone to send jewelry to the fifth lady?" Miss Fifth seems to be silent on weekdays, but in the past two days, the housekeeper has been well organized and hidden deeply, so you must be careful. ”

Chen Lan handed over the carved lacquer jewelry box to Hongluo and asked her to hide it, but she didn't open it. Su Mu on the side asked curiously: "Sister, what she said is not right, how could the old lady not like the third room?" The third lady is still the old lady who makes the decision to let the third lady marry, and the fifth lady must have a share of what our young lady has on weekdays. What our young lady doesn't have, Miss Fifth often has there, and I heard that even the girl in Miss Four's room has complained, saying that the old lady is partial to Miss Five. ”

"You know what?" Yun'er has always been conceited and well-informed, and when she heard Su Mu refute herself, she suddenly felt that she had lost face, and immediately sneered, "The old lady is eccentric? If it weren't for Aunt Luo and Wei Guogong's relationship, the fifth miss wouldn't be the same as the rest of the ladies in the third room, and it would be difficult to even come out of Cuiliuju! Don't look at the third lady who is sick now, a few aunts and concubines in Cuiliu were in the middle of the house, but they were managed by the third lady obediently, but for so many years, the fifth lady has never let the third lady grasp the handle, and she can protect her brother and brother, if she doesn't hide deeply, how can she do it? ”

"Okay, Yun'er, don't just focus on recklessness, Su Mu is still young, how can you know more?"

Chen Lan said Yun'er, and after seeing her stunned, he showed a happy expression, knowing that this sentence that seemed to be a reprimand was actually a compliment made this girl very ironed, so he sent her to the kitchen to see why Qin Fang and Ruixue hadn't come back for so long. After repacking the cage with Su Mu and Pepper, she sat on the kang and beckoned to her when she saw the red snail coming out of the room.

"You just went to Tateka-in, what else did you hear?"

Hongluo saw that Chen Lan didn't care about the box of expensive jewelry at all, and was even more sure that this young lady's eyes were not just on these superficial glory and wealth, so he replied carefully: "I went to the Tatexiang Courtyard, and first met the old lady and told the young lady about the things around the young lady, but the old lady asked carefully, but she didn't say anything else. Then I had a conversation with Sister Green Calyx Sister Jade Peony, I heard that they had a few pieces of clothing that they didn't have time to do, so I volunteered to take it, and asked about the Lantern Festival Palace's plum appreciation, Sister Green Calyx said that now I don't know if I can go at this time, and then Zheng's mother happened to come out, saying that it was the second master who saw the crime after all, and it was okay for a few young ladies to go together.

When I came out of the hall of the Tatexiang Courtyard, another mother-in-law begged me to bring something to the old woman who lived in the podium on the east side of the back door, I thought it was okay, so I ran one more trip, and then I knew that Zheng's mother went to Cuiliuju first, and the drunk old woman also said a few words. Because it sounded amazing, I didn't dare to stay long, so I hurried back. ”

Chen Lan knew that the red snail was as delicate as a hair, and he was immediately interested, but he didn't ask questions immediately. Sure enough, Hongluo didn't mean to sell Guanzi, took a deep breath and whispered: "That old woman is drunk and says drunken things, it's about the old lady's generation." She said that there are so many people around the old marquis, who still remembers those glamorous aunts and grandmothers now? Poor Aunt Qin, who gave birth to the third master, was really old at that time, and she was martyred together, and she didn't even earn a title like this! ”

When Hongluo spit out those last few words, Chen Lan couldn't help but gasp. She has always felt strange, even if the Zhu family can maintain and recuperate, at that time, there was no reason that none of the people around the old marquis Chen Yong were missing, and the family was even more secretive, and she couldn't imagine that it would end up like this. Martyrdom ...... The suicide note left by Taizu Lin Changhui also said that the martyrdom had been abolished a long time ago, but what is the truth now? She didn't believe that a woman who already had a son would rather leave her son to be buried!

Thinking of the kind-hearted Zhu family on weekdays, although Chen Lan had already realized it, he still felt as cold as if his heart was frozen at this time. Blood relatives are different after all, the old lady did not hesitate to tie up the carriage of the Chen family completely for the sake of Princess Jin, and the third room has an inexplicable relationship with the Weiguo Mansion, she must take Chen Yan out of this troubled water!
