Chapter 137 Taking advantage of the situation, Xiao Lu is sharp
As soon as the three words of the third master came out, the room that was originally filled with a sense of warmth and warmth suddenly seemed to have a sudden drop in temperature, and everyone's faces changed. Zhu exhaled deeply, as if he wanted to vent the disgust and anger in his heart; Chen Lan frowned thoughtfully, wondering what tricks Chen Ying was going to play; Chen Yan supported the kang table with one hand, and his small fist clenched gently; And Chen Ting shuddered, and slipped off the chair with a shrunk; Seeing that her son was about to fall to the ground, Mrs. Xu hurriedly got off the kang, grabbed his arm, and whispered a few words. As for the two big girls of the green calyx and jade peony, they glanced at each other, and their faces showed undisguised anger, and they all thought that Chen Ying was angry with the old lady again.
Mother Zhang saw Chen Lan come forward to accept the letter, and immediately retreated to the door as if avoiding snakes and scorpions. Chen Lan took the letter to the side of the big case, cut it with a paper cutter, but took out the letterhead and looked at it first, then he was stunned, and then showed undisguised joy. Although Chen Yan told her first, this was unconfirmed news after all, and she had not revealed her tone before.
She took the letter and turned around and walked to Zhu's side, and when she saw that his face was also full of concern and vigilance, she said with a smile: "Old lady, the third uncle has been ordered by the emperor, and he will go to Xuanfu with His Royal Highness the King of Jin early in the morning to investigate the previous case. He said that he had to finish the affairs in the yamen as soon as possible in the past two days, so he would not come back, and asked his family to take care of his belongings. ”
For a while, the room was quiet, and everyone showed a relieved expression. After a long time, Chen Ting, who was only four years old, broke the silence in the room with a childish shout.
"Mother, if my father is not here, you can take me out for a walk!"
"What nonsense!" Mrs. Xu's face sank suddenly, and then she turned her head to Zhu and said, "Old lady, don't listen to Ting'er, he is just playful, and the old man is strict in discipline, so when he sees the master, it is like a mouse seeing a cat......" Speaking of this, she remembered that there was no one else in the house at this time, and Aunt Luo, who seemed to be watching behind her back all the time, was not there, so she smiled embarrassedly, "The old man is going to leave the day after tomorrow, I have filial piety, so I simply asked Aunt Luo to help take care of those things, old lady, how do you think it?" ”
A smile bloomed on Zhu's hazy face just now, and he nodded slightly in agreement at this time. However, Mrs. Xu was about to retire, but she suddenly remembered that she was sick today, and Chen Ying didn't discuss it with herself, so she entrusted all the housework to Mrs. Ma, and just now when she and the Zhu family had a heart-to-heart relationship, Yu Shao mentioned that Imperial Doctor Lu was actually a lot of bewitchment to Mrs. Ma, so she looked at Chen Lan, hesitated for a moment and opened her mouth again.
"I took a dose of medicine today, and the disease is much better, but there are too many family affairs after all, and I have to go to Guangning Bofu these days, and then there will be a year of filial piety. I think, the Lan'er family is a few of them older, so everyone just let them take care of one thing, and it is appropriate to go out in the future, what do you think, old lady? ”
Although he knew that Chen Ying's departure was only temporary and that he would not come back in the future, taking advantage of this time, there were still many things to do, Chen Lan still felt that the heavy stone in his heart had been removed all of a sudden. Hearing Mrs. Xu's words, if it was in the past, she would definitely be humble, but at this moment, seeing Zhu nodding, she only thought about it for a while and smiled: "If the third aunt doesn't dislike our sister's stupidity, then we will give it to you." ”
"That's a good dare, with such a helper as you, it's too late for me to be happy!" Seeing that Zhu blinked his eyes as if he had something to say, Mrs. Xu had already come to her senses, and after stepping forward and pulling Chen Ting to salute Zhu, she immediately retired.
At this time, with one hand lightly pressing his chest, Zhu let out a long breath, and then motioned for Yu Shao to take the cardboard, raised his wrist and laboriously wrote the word "person", paused for a moment, and pointed at Chen Yan with the charcoal pen, and then looked at Chen Lan. Chen Lan pondered carefully, and then stepped forward and whispered two words in Zhu's ear.
"The old lady said, as soon as the third uncle leaves, let's clean up the personnel in the house first?" Seeing that Zhu nodded with satisfaction, she continued, "Also, the fourth brother is going to study outside now, and it is not enough to have only Chu Ping's four by his side, so how many more reliable people can be added?" ”
Zhu still nodded, Chen Yan saw that her sister could completely guess the meaning behind it just by relying on the old lady's words and actions, and couldn't help but admire her five bodies, and immediately shouted: "Sister, you know everything the old lady means, it's really a god!" ”
After many days of fright and suffering, today not only the county lord of Yixing and the imperial eunuch Qu Yong came over together, giving everyone a reassurance, followed by Chen Ying, the plague god, can finally leave for a while, Chen Lan is happy in his heart, and he doesn't care about Chen Yan's babbling. It's just that she already had some other thoughts in her heart, but it was not the right time before, so she kept it in her heart. At this time, there was finally a chance, Chen Yan was by her side again, she thought about it in her heart for a while, and sat next to Zhu and talked.
"Old lady, when it comes to cleaning up personnel, there must be a reason. Besides, now that you are sick, you must have other thoughts. Didn't you mention before that you asked the third uncle and three aunts to move to the Qingxi House in the middle of the road? This matter has been delayed, because of your illness, it has been delayed even more, and now the plan, as soon as the third uncle leaves, it is better to let the third aunt take someone to move over. ”
For the Qingxi Residence where he has lived for many years, in terms of feelings and preferences, Zhu is reluctant to let any room move in, thinking that the second room was dragged by her for many years, and finally even lost the title. Therefore, Chen Lan said that she wanted the three-bedroom family to move into the Qingxi Residence, and her expression immediately changed, and her eyes showed the meaning of questioning.
"Old lady, the key to your illness this time is that the question book sent to the emperor's hand tore everything up clearly, the emperor came to remember the old feelings of the queen mother, the second to read the merits of our family, and the third to remember the hard work of the old lady who had been alone in Beijing for many years, so there was a visit from the county lord and Gonggong Qu. However, when others think of the old lady's illness now, most of them will think that the old lady is sick because of too many things in a day, and it has nothing to do with the third uncle, and it will be difficult to say in the future. If the Qingxi Residence in the middle of our house has been empty, outsiders will think that the old lady is still dissatisfied with the third uncle inheriting the title, in other words, questioning the emperor's will. Even if the second uncle had not moved into the Qingxi House before, he would also be checked out to speak. ”
As soon as these words came out, Chen Yan, who had been sitting and listening attentively, suddenly changed color, and Zhu was even more shocked, not to mention the green calyx and jade peony next to him, and his face was both frightened and admired. Chen Lan, who had thought about this many times in his heart, saw that his words were effective, so he struck while the iron was hot and said: "The people in the third room have moved to Qingxi Residence, and Cuiliuju is vacant. The houses of Fangfei Pavilion and Splendid Pavilion are old, the old lady has spoken before to repair, and my fourth brother and I simply moved to Cuiliuju, where the house is big, and there are things across the courtyard, which is close to you, much more convenient than before, and ......"
She paused, and then said the most important one: "The third aunt moved from Cuiliuju to Qingxi Residence, and they have to count things and redistribute people, so that there is a reason to clean up the personnel in the house." There are too many servants in our house, in addition to the official slaves and maids who were given by the ancestors, those who have written down documents to become slaves over the years have no less than dozens of rooms, and the houses in the back streets are almost full. Now that we are cleaning up, we should also reward some money and release some of them, or send some people to the grange in Jiangnan. It's just that the news spreads outside, at most, our family's situation is not as good as before, so we are frugal and won't say anything else. ”
The more Zhu listened, the more surprised she became, but until the end, if she wasn't speechless at the moment, she must have been appreciative. But even so, she couldn't help but gently patted the edge of the kang with her right hand, and nodded at Chen Lan again and again. Even Yu Shao was full of praise: "Third Miss, you are really a female Zhuge in the middle!" ”
Chen Yan didn't need to say anything, if Chen Lan hadn't glared at him with his eyes, he couldn't wait to stand up and do a somersault. Since the third uncle came back, their lives have been trembling, and now they can't say that they can all turn it over, but at least they can raise their eyebrows a little for a while, and this is still justified!
"The old lady thinks it's good, as for the manpower assigned to the Tatexiang Courtyard before, as soon as the third aunt and they moved to the Qingxi Residence, the third aunt must see that the manpower is not enough, and she is happy to transfer the person back, as for the second aunt's people, it's just something that the old lady wants to keep and want to send. And the vacancy can no longer be blindly empty and not filled as before, I mean, either from the old lady your Zhuangzi, or from the Baihe Village, it doesn't matter if you are familiar with the hands, fill the people first, and then say, they are all people who are used to doing the work, and they are quick to get started! ”
In the past, Chen Lan was always hiding clumsily in front of Zhu, but now that Zhu has a small stroke, she can't speak, she no longer has to say half and hide half, and in the case that only by doing her best can she and Chen Yan stand more stable, hiding clumsiness is the most stupid behavior. You know, what the old lady wants is a real arm at this time, and she has no heart to suppress it while using people.
Zhu only hesitated for a moment, then nodded again, and this time, she gently grabbed Chen Lan's hand, her eyes full of expectation and hope. At this moment, the voice of the red snail that had been guarding suddenly came from outside the door.
"Old lady, third young lady and fourth young master, Mother Zheng is here!"
With the sound of the words, Zheng's mother rushed into the house in a hurry, and when she saw Zhu's eyes, she immediately turned red, and suddenly her knees fell to the ground, and she kowtowed three times in a row. Zhu's face showed a slight surprise, but thinking that Zheng's mother and her husband had left the house this time, but they hadn't done anything that could be said at all, she was a little annoyed in her heart, but seeing Zheng's mother saluting, she still nodded kindly.
"Old lady, I'm really worried, if it weren't for Mrs. Gu's side that there are a lot of things, I would have persuaded you to live or die, Mrs. Gu would have called my aunt to come to see you a long time ago! Now the hardest level is finally over! ”
Mother Zheng lightly explained the reason why the Korean husband and wife did not come at this time on the grounds that the relatives of the side branch of the Korean government were making trouble, and then diligently served the Zhu family back to the western bedroom, and only then did she follow the Chen Lan sisters and brothers out on the grounds that the old lady lay down to rest. But as soon as she arrived in the bright room, her smiling face disappeared without a trace, and she pulled Chen Lan to explain what happened to her in the ** medical hall in Dengshi Hutong as quickly as possible. Chen Lan was better, Chen Yan was dumbfounded for a while.
PS: Set off firecrackers to see off the third uncle away, and then Ah Lan can breathe a sigh of relief...... I took a leave of absence today, and I didn't have to change it at night, I'm sorry. In addition, I received a call before saying that there was an event on the 10th, a total of four days, in order to ensure the update outside, I have to work hard to save the manuscript, and the update in the first half of this month may be a little messy, and there are more singles, and it will be good in the middle and late months......
