"The weather is getting hotter, and the streets in the afternoon are filled with people who are not on errands or in a hurry. That is, there are shops on both sides that open to do business, and there are very few passers-by when they are on the side. Therefore, when more than a dozen riders swept through the street at a gallop, raising bursts of smoke and dust, it was naturally particularly eye-catching. However, the group did not stop in front of any Huawu beautiful house, but went straight to one of the most lively and noisy streets in the whole city of Nanjing, and finally slowed down and entered a corner mén.

As soon as he threw the reins and dismounted in the courtyard, Xiao Lang walked inside with a calm face, ignoring even the two xiǎo guys who came forward. It wasn't until he entered the hall that he strode to the square table in the center, picked up the square pot on the table, poured cold water in one breath, and then put down his things and turned his head.

"What's going on in the Yang Mansion, but there are people with short eyes to disturb it?"

"Back to the prince, two or three groups of people got up early to visit over there, but they were all sent away, but before noon, someone was put in." Seeing that his own prince suddenly showed a paying attention expression, Ju Que hurriedly bowed and said, "It's the two xiǎo sisters of the Nanjing Garrison Mansion, and it is said that they were ordered to send something." ”

"Those two girls?" When Xiao Lang arrived in Nanjing before, he had been invited once, so he still remembered the two sisters of the Xu family, but at this time, he couldn't remember what the two of them looked like, and his brows suddenly tightened together, "It's just two boudoir sisters, what are you doing when you see them?" After all, it is the NV of the Nanjing garrison, and it has set such a precedent, and it will not be easy to do it next. ”

Juque's lowered head stiffened slightly, and his face showed a little helplessness, and then he raised his head slightly and glanced at it, and then asked with a smile: "Lord Shizi, even if you find out the news, you don't have to go in person, our Zhendonghou Mansion is in Jiangnan, and others still have to sell a little face, what information can't be found?" ”

"After all, what others ask is what others ask, and I don't feel at ease." Xiao Lang sat down at this time, and his fingers unconsciously tapped a few times on the table. Well, the hateful guy who never forgot to make fun of himself is now heard from now, and he has kidnapped the son of the elder he respects the most" Chen Lan's husband, he only felt annoyed in his heart, and it took a long time before he breathed a heavy sigh, "It's a pity that there are some false rumors outside, and the Jinling Mansion is even more unreliable, and the boatman simply fainted for several days as soon as he entered, and he can't say anything decent until now." In my opinion, this is most likely a deliberate rumor! ”

"Wouldn't that be the case? Shizi Ye, you just need to wait with peace of mind" When His Royal Highness King Jing and Lord Yang come back together, there will be nothing to do. Seeing that Xiao Lang was still frowning, Juque couldn't help but persuade again, "As for Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yang, I heard that although they are closed, their lives are no different from usual, and they are beautiful all day long, not like they are in their hearts. ”

"What do you know" put those things on the face, which will only make the relatives and enemies happy! ”

"That ......"

Juque was dumbfounded, Zhan Lu opened the mén curtain and entered the room, and after saluting, he stepped forward and said, "If the young master is really not at ease, since the two xiǎo sisters of the Nanjing Garrison Mansion have gone to mén, why don't we go to visit again?" It doesn't make sense that outsiders can go in, and they are blocking your reason. Not to mention......" He dragged out a long note, and saw Xiao Lang look at it with a displeased face, "I didn't dare to sell Guan Zi again," There is indeed another big thing. It is said that Zhou Taitong, the governor of the imperial history, has already bowed down and impeached Lord Yang for dereliction of duty, so that the prince is in danger, and it is said that there are not a few people who co-signed with him......"

"What's the big deal?" Xiao Lang snorted angrily, stood up and straightened his clothes, his face full of disapproval" "If you really want to get out of the matter, King Jing has an accident on the ground of the two rivers" None of the officials up and down the south of the Yangtze River can escape responsibility, he thinks that by pushing the matter on Lord Yang alone, he can solve it? Besides, "I don't have a rule to say that the imperial history can be heard, and this matter is not yet accurate, so he will talk nonsense, and when the person comes back, I will see what kind of justification he will take, and the exile of the grass is light!" ”

Saying this, Xiao Lang finally strode out. Juque and Zhan Lu glanced at each other, and immediately left one to catch up.

In a short time, more than a dozen people galloped out from the mouth of Mén. When I arrived at Xinjiekou Damén, it happened that more than a dozen families came out in two carriages. The first Qingman Yuntou car in front of it happened to stop in front of Xiao Lang's horse.

"Xiao Shizi?"

Xiao Lang saw that the curtain of the carriage had opened a crack, and it was just a pretty face that was both smiling and disgusting, and after looking at it, he didn't look too far, but he owed slightly on the horse, but he didn't say a word. At this time, the curtain suddenly fell, and there was a low scolding from inside, and after a while, the car in front of it was opened, and it was a mother who jumped out of the car.

The mother bowed deeply to Xiao Lang, and then smiled: "Xiao Shizi is here to visit Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yang?" Sister Xiǎo and Sister Erxiǎo of my family were left to eat in it before, and when Mrs. Yang came out, she said that she wanted to take a nap, and at this time, I was afraid that the time was not suitable, and I might not be able to see you empty.

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Lang took a closer look at the mother, and then looked into the mén, and couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.

The Jiang family treated him like a mother, and he was afraid that there was something wrong with this elder who had already suffered countless hardships because of the sudden bad news, and although Chen Lan had been so thoughtful in major matters before, he was an NV person after all, and such bad news could really be regarded as a rumor? He thought and thought, and the hand holding the reins tightened and tightened. Just as he was about to dismount, a familiar figure finally came out of it.

"Xiao Shizi." It was Aunt Yun who came out of Mén, and after she smiled and saluted, she said, "I just sent off the guests, and my wife went back to the house to take a nap, so I heard that you were here, and Mrs. said that it was not a big deal, so I didn't see you." In the past few days, there has been a lot of messy news outside, don't bother to work hard, it's not worth it to run back and forth for those rumors and hurt your body. It's going to be summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, you have been in a bitter cold place like Nuergancheng for a long time, you can't help but get used to it, so you should rest and recuperate, don't pay attention to that. The more you take these luàn messy comments seriously, the more someone will calculate your head. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Lang frowned thoughtfully, but after pondering for a while, he tasted a little different, so he hugged his fists and said: "In this case, I will go back first, please aunt to Mrs. Tai and Mrs., take care of your body." ”

Aunt Yun responded with a smile, and when she saw that the group of people from the Nanjing Garrison Mansion at the entrance of Mén were still blocked in the middle of the road and did not leave, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, but she turned back without saying a word. After entering the mén, she turned her head to take a look again, and found that Xiao Lang and the others had already ridden away, and the two carriages had only been slow for a while. When she saw Chen Lan in the house, she gave a general description of the situation outside, and then moved on to another topic.

"Madame can see that the two sisters of the Xu family seem to be a little incompatible, and they are very eager for Xiao Shizi."

After Chen Lan wiped his face, he put the máo towel back into the copper basin, and said with a smile, "I originally thought that as soon as that Xu Erǎo sister came in, she would go directly to the mother, and that courteous appearance was just like I still have a xiǎo uncle who has no marriage contract, but his character is very good." And Sister Xu Daxiǎo hinted in front of me that my sister has a lot of eyes, and intentionally or unintentionally mentioned Xiao Shizi, if I can't see it, then it is really too dull. ”

Aunt Yun saw that Hongluo tiptoed out of the house, and there were no other girls beside her, so she bent down next to Chen Lan: "Speaking of which, Xiao Shizi has a noble status, and he is partial and has no marriage contract, so there are naturally many people who are eyed." Sister Xu Jiaer probably thinks that if our old lady says a word, the matter will be seven or eight points certain, which is better than those who directly hit Xiao Shizi's idea. As for that Xu Daxiǎo sister, she was born well, but she was too arrogant, and she probably didn't want her sister to marry better than herself. ”

"She is all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she can be called a talented nv, although it is our Yangning Hou Mansion who is married, but the second brother is not the son of the world, not to mention that the third uncle's momentum is not as good as that of the fight, she will naturally not be willing in her heart. If nothing compares to her sister, who is more likely to marry than her, she will probably be even more uncomfortable. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Lan shook his head, not wanting to dwell on this topic any longer, and immediately pointed to the roses and other things on the square table on the side, because he smiled: "Don't talk about the two of them, Lord Xu has a note in these things, and said plainly that he will never believe such rumors, and has already sent jīng Rui soldiers to investigate the source of the rumors, and once he gets it, he will definitely give me a clear jiāo generation." ”

"Ah, that's a great thing, thanks to Madame's clever plan."

"Aunt Yun, are you making fun of me again? If it weren't for the fact that you didn't be shocked on the street that day, I was afraid that the Xu family would still have a pimple with me. Seeing Aunt Yun's humility again and again, Chen Lan couldn't help but grab Aunt Yun's hand, and then said sincerely, "I'm not saying kind things to you, if it weren't for you and Aunt Liu being by my side all the time, I wouldn't have been able to hold it anymore." ”

"Madame......" Aunt Yun only felt a tucking in the corners of her eyes, and then quickly squinted her eyes to hide the impulse, then opened her eyes and smiled, "Madam, don't say that, it's also a blessing for both of us to be able to follow you." It's not early, you can also take a nap, and when you wake up, there is also a jīng god. ”

Zhang Luo let Chen Lan go to the chuáng, and put down the green gauze tent painted with the green bamboo huā pattern, seeing that the people inside were facing him sideways as if he was gradually falling asleep, Aunt Yun turned around and walked out of the house. As she lowered the curtain, she involuntarily turned her head to look into the tent.

I just hope that Mrs. really didn't take the rumors to heart!
