When he was in the Hou Mansion, the Chu family lived with her husband and children on the back street facing north and south. It is difficult to see the sun all day long, and because there are four families in a similar situation crowded in a small courtyard, although they have to form a group to appeal and plead with those housekeepers and stewards on weekdays, it is inevitable that there will be some petty discord after all. When she first moved from the city to this village, her husband was still a little reluctant, but she tried her best to persuade and persuade the other three women's families, so the four families moved here together.

Naturally, she was a little apprehensive at first, but when she lived in the small courtyard left by the former Huangzhuang steward, she immediately threw away the trace of melancholy when she left Beijing. Zhuangzi is not as prosperous as in the city, but after all, it is pure, next to Baihe Village, the Zhuanghu people look at them like big people in the city, respectful, which is like being often drunk and reprimanded in the back street of the Hou Mansion, and they are not treated as adults? Therefore, when she traveled with the other three people all the way, she secretly thought to herself in her heart, and when she saw the third lady, how to thank her for such kindness.

Therefore, she was introduced to the Hanging Flower Gate, and she only glanced left and right and walked in a proper manner. waited until she entered the inverted seat hall in front of the hall, and saw that it was the third lady sitting on the main seat above, she hurriedly straightened her skirt and knelt down, and bowed her head respectfully. Hearing that there was no need to be polite, she still kowtowed three heads, and then held her knees up.

Although the courtyard opposite here is the courtyard where their sister and brother and the Zhu family live, Chen Lan knows that it is too late for the people inside to be busy cleaning up and serving at this time, and there are people guarding outside, so she still has serious excuses, so she naturally doesn't care about what others say, so she said with a smile: "You don't have to do this every time, you are also a lady in charge now." ”

"What kind of lady in charge, if it weren't for the third lady, how would we be where we are today." The Chu Si family curtsied again, looked at the three companions, and then said, "Don't say anything else, such a good industry that is close to the capital and the fields are flat and fertile, it is definitely not the turn of our families to take care of it, not to mention that our kid is still destined to follow the fourth young master as a companion, so that we have greater hope." To tell the truth, at that time, I went out to plead with the idea of sacrificing my life, who knew that I would be able to meet a kind and kind master like Miss San......"

The original of the Chu family is the most courageous of the four, but he has to talk and do things. She is not as good as Lin Hai's family. At this time, when I heard the more the Chu Sijia said, the more I was a little confused, and the Lin Hai family on the side hurriedly pulled the hem of her clothes with her hand, and then coughed dryly and said: "Third Miss's kindness, we can only repay it by doing good things in this life." The third lady of the argument waited for the old lady to arrive, we just came to kowtow, and we didn't rush for a while, it was really because of the current movement outside. ”

Chen Lan knows very well that the personnel of the Hou Mansion are complicated, and those who have positions at the moment are of course their own ways and loyal masters, but they have no position, and the in-laws who are twisting and turning around are old, and casual envelopment may also cause unexpected trouble, so the Chu Si family took the initiative to send the opportunity, and it was natural for them to stand up, so she naturally did not hesitate, and at this time, seeing that they were all loyal and devotive, she was deeply gratified in her heart. At this time, hearing what the Lin Hai family said, she immediately asked, "Do you know what's going on?" ”

Lin Haijia shook his head and said, "A few of us are also newcomers, so we can't say it completely. But the little ones like to visit the door, and they have taught the women of the Zhuang family a few hands on the most fashionable window tricks in the city today, so they are happy to gossip with the little ones. This Tiananzhuang used to be the time of the imperial village. The rent is one percent higher than that of the ordinary Huangzhuang, but after Xia Zhuangtou took over, he added two percent on his own initiative, so none of the tenants could afford it. Moreover, under the pretext of repairing Zhuangzi, he invited the Gonggong Xia in the palace to live in it, and sent a lot of tenants to serve on errands, and even exhausted a person to death the winter before last, so his reputation was very bad. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Hai's family took a break, and then continued: "The tenants who can't get by are thinking of fighting to the death and using fierce methods, but there are a few people around Xia Zhuangtou who can fight, plus the Zhangjiawan Inspection Division and the Hongrenqiao Inspection Division were fed with silver by him, with the relationship between the Xia Gonggong in the palace, it is the Tongzhou Zhizhou Yamen, and it is easy to do things in the past, so he has been here for five years, and this Anyuan has also been repaired." I didn't expect a will to let him move the nest, and Zhuangzi was not the emperor's house, and he gave it to our Hou Mansion, so I heard that he was very unwilling when he moved away. ”

Immediately after, Lin Hai's family said some gossip that he had heard from some villagers in the village, and Chen Lan listened carefully one by one, and gradually had a feeling in his heart that this was indeed the case. After one finished speaking, the other three women of the Chu Si family also added their own babble, and after a while, she inquired more than half of the matter of Tiananzhuang and Anyuan, and then sighed secretly.

The pie that fell from the sky was really not so easy to take, which was really a bit hot...... But the head of the summer village will not mention it for the time being. The Zhu family had only sent letters here in the morning, and now that they had just arrived, the tenants had blocked the door, and it seemed that they were planning to close it...... Thinking of the hazy face of the third uncle Chen Ying when he left at noon today, Chen Lan naturally thought of him, but then shook his head.

Chen Ying only came back last night, how could she find out what was going on here...... Wait, what if he didn't just come back yesterday?

Chen Lan was frightened by his wit, and a peppery voice suddenly came from outside the door curtain: "Miss, Chu Ping and the four of them outside said that they had something important to see." ”

As soon as he heard that it was his own son, the Lin Hai family of the Chu Si family suddenly showed a look of anticipation. After all, since the beating person followed the fourth young master as a companion, they have never seen each other, even if they went to Zhuangzi before, because the rules are there, they just glanced at it from a distance. At this moment, the four of them were all peeking at Chen Lan, hoping that she would be able to say yes. To their surprise, Chen Lan just groaned slightly, and then opened his mouth to command.

"Go and set up a screen here, and bring people in, and the four of you will stay."

All kinds of furniture in Anyuan are ready-made. After a while, the two rough envoys carried a large screen of four huanghuali carved cranes and fairy grass to be placed in front of the Taishi chair, and then went out. It didn't take long for Chen Lan to hear a sound, and through the gap in the screen, four teenagers could be vaguely seen entering the door in turn, saluting before standing up.

Without waiting for him to ask, Chu Ping, who was the strongest among them, said in a rough voice: "Back to the third young lady, the younger four were ordered by you to send hot water to those tenants, and I persuaded a few more words on the side, but it turned out that several people were injured. It looks like it's all fresh, and it should be either today or yesterday. No matter who they spoke to, they ignored it and didn't give them water, even if one of them couldn't hold on and fainted, the others just looked at it and continued to kneel. When the four little ones came in just now, Uncle Zhang took people over and told them to ignore them, but when they dragged people, they resisted, and when they let go, they didn't move. ”

Chu Ping was only twelve years old, and his speech was not only neat, but also somewhat organized, so after Chen Lan listened, his brain was already spinning rapidly. Beating and instigating, using strong coercion, in short, it is inseparable from these layers of relationship. It's such a cold day, it's going to be dark now, if you really let these tenants kneel in front of the door for a night, and wait until dawn to say a few will freeze to death, then at that time, Yushi Yishen is at fault! Thinking of this, a little coldness added to her eyes.

Thinking that Chu Ping was the first to start, or that they couldn't find anything else to say, the other three teenagers only added a few words. Chen Lan thought for a while, then sent the four of them to wait outside the house first, called a few of the four Chu families up and gave them some instructions, and then let them out, and then asked the red snail to invite the green calyx. Soon, the green calyx hurried over, and as soon as she entered the room and glanced at the big screen, she asked, "Is there something wrong with the third lady?" ”

Chen Lan explained the news she had just gotten concisely, and seeing that Lu Calyx's face was gradually changing, she whispered: "It's almost dark now, if those two inspection divisions are really fed by the previous Xia Zhuangtou, I'm afraid they won't send a few people over, at most it's just perfunctory for a while." Now, the plan is to send people into the city as soon as possible. Inquire about the relationship between this Xia Zhuangtou and the royal supervisor Xia's father-in-law; The second is the resettlement of these tenants. ”

The dispute outside Lu Calyx didn't dare to tell the Zhu family, but at this time she was a little embarrassed, it can be seen that although Chen Lan was frowning, she did not panic, and she also had some confidence in her heart, so she asked: "The matter of sending people back is easy to do, and I can make the decision." But these tenants ...... After all, there are twenty or thirty people, and our guards are accompanied by Zhuang Ding with Zhang Zhuang's headband, etc., there are only so many, how to place them? Can't you let people beat them away? ”

"I can't." Chen Lan's face was calm, but the hands in his sleeves were already clenched into fists, "This tenant was given to us together with the grange, looking at their posture, I'm afraid that no matter what 3721 will die here, if there is a murder in the newly given Zhuangtian, what will others think of our Hou Mansion?" The four families of Chu live in Baihe Village, which has the largest number of tenants, and I asked them to recognize people. If there are people who do not know, they will secretly identify them, and after a while, they will kneel for a long time, and the people will naturally be stiffened, and the people will be placed in the front yard first, and the rest of the people who do not know will be placed in the real sufferers here, and they will naturally disperse because they are few and cannot succeed. and the one who had fainted had already been lifted into the front, and when he woke up, he asked Zhang Zhuangtou to ask him immediately. In addition to this, I also instructed the Chu Si family to let their men go and gather Zhuang Ding and the guards together, they have fought, and this battle is not a problem. ”

Hearing that Chen Lan had already arranged these in the blink of an eye, Lu Calyx was greatly surprised in his heart, but thinking that the matter was indeed extraordinary, he nodded and said: "The slave knows it, everything is up to the third lady." ”
