It's the Chinese New Year, the yamen are sealed everywhere, and there are many people who come to the house, so Chen Lan has to be ready for someone to call her to meet guests all the time, and she feels more tired than usual. If it weren't for the fact that she was worried about what she heard on Chinese New Year's Eve, she almost wanted to hide in the room under the pretext of a recurrence of an injury and a headache, but now she could only fight to deal with a wave of visitors. Fortunately, among the guests, there are not all those who hide needles in their lives, and occasionally there are some children who don't have so many scheming.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, it was the decree of the Hou family of Dongchang, and the elders spoke in the main hall of the Tatexiang Temple, and the juniors were divided into men and women in the east and west rooms. Because Mrs. Dongchanghou called Chen Lan over as soon as she came, she actually apologized for falling into the pond last time and said no, so after sitting down in this room, Chen Lan felt that the two daughters of Dongchanghou always spoke with thorns. Rao is the temperament she can endure no matter how much she can bear, and she feels irritable when she sits here, just when Chen Xi goes out, she simply opens the curtain and goes out. As the curtain fell, she faintly heard a chuckle coming from within.

"Sister Bing, she is more arrogant than you, the serious daughter of Yangning Hou!"

"That's it, maybe I also fell into the water, and I even said something about saving my brother with righteousness, laughing to death!"

"Okay, okay, you don't say a word, so that people will hear and think I'm bullying my sister. However, having said that, she is really overwhelmed, Brother You is the son of the Marquis of Dongchang, and she dares to come in front of her? ”

"Yes, the toad wants to eat swan meat!"

Hearing the laughter inside, Chen Lan was furious in his heart, and took a hard breath to calm down, but when he looked for Chen Xi again, he found that the person was gone. There were a few boys' voices in the east room at this time, and there seemed to be no movement behind the screen in the main hall, she thought to herself that it would be impossible to retreat rashly at this time, and men and women could not kiss, and it was even more inappropriate to go to the east room, it was better to go to the elders in front of the back to join in the fun, maybe she could find out what news. Just thinking about it, the bead curtain on the left side of the battle moved, but it was the green calyx of the first-class girl next to the Zhu family who came out. Seeing that it was Chen Lan, she hurriedly stepped forward.

"Why did the third lady come out?"

"It's too stuffy in the house, come out and take a breath." Chen Lan didn't blink his eyelids when he said this, and gently wiped his forehead with a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "Besides, I also want to see if my grandmother is free, and the fourth brother said to me that it is the ninth day of the first lunar month, and according to the practice of previous years, I have to go to Huguo Temple to make incense offerings, and I want to say it first." ”

Green Calyx is seventeen years old this year, and she has long reached the age of letting her go out to match people, but she is the oldest of all the girls in the Tatexiang Academy, and the Zhu family has never released anyone, and she herself has not mentioned this matter at all, whether it is in front of the master or the young master, she is gentle and polite. However, although she seems to have a relaxed temperament, she is the kind of person who knows things, and she knows that the two daughters of the Dongchang Marquis Mansion must be sneering. Therefore, since Chen Lan didn't mention this stubble at all, she naturally didn't know.

"Mrs. Dongchang Hou went to the second lady's Ziningju to speak, the old lady just rested for a while, and she is awake at this time."

Mrs. Dongchang Hou and Mrs. Ma went to Ziningju alone to talk? Chen Lan glanced at the curtain in the west room, remembering what Chen Bing and the two daughters of the Dongchang Marquis Mansion had just said, he suddenly showed a smile, and then said in surprise: "The old lady has just rested?" Don't talk to us, let's be quieter. ”

It is convenient for others and for oneself, and the green calyx quietly showed a little tone, and at this time quickly explained: "It's what the old lady meant." The old lady said that she listened to her grandchildren talk and laugh, and slept more peacefully. Third Miss, come with me. ”

Chen Lan followed the green calyx into the bead curtain, and saw that on the warm couch behind the battle, Zhu was crooked there and beaten by the jade peony with a beauty hammer, and when he saw her come in, he bowed slightly. After Chen Lan saluted, he concisely told him about the death of his deceased mother, and Zhu nodded, just instructed to pick someone who went out with him, and arrange it properly on the way, so that people would go to Huguo Temple to meet the prophet and so on. At the end, when she saw Zheng's mother come in, she said it again.

"Now that Lan'er is a big girl, you can't go out as casually as before. Hongluo Qinfang and Yun'er both followed her, and then picked two third-class ones to follow, and it was enough to leave two third-class girls to watch the house. Yan'er doesn't need to bring a girl, only the little girl can also bring enough. Pick two more proper mothers and eight family guards. By the way, why don't you go to Huguo Temple, take a look at the ever-bright lantern for me, and then instruct that on that day, except for the official family, the rest of the idle people should not be put in casually, so as not to collide. ”

Zhu said a word, and Zheng's mother responded. Chen Lan next to him had to sigh in his heart, secretly thinking that he was born in this Houmen with many rules, even if he wanted to take the opportunity to take a look at the prosperous scene of this Jingshi, it was not so easy. But on the surface, she couldn't thank her grandmother for her steady arrangement. At that moment, Zheng's mother went out first, she accompanied Zhu and told jokes for a while, and when she got up and was about to leave, there was a sudden noise outside, and immediately after, Yu Shao hit the door curtain and rushed in.

"Old lady...... The old lady is not good! ”

Chen Lan's heart tightened, and he instinctively thought of the words that the red snail heard on Chinese New Year's Eve, so he drank without thinking: "How does my sister talk during the New Year?" What's wrong, what's wrong with a calm heart? Don't forget, Mrs. Dongchang Hou and the two young ladies are guests at our house! ”

Yu Shao was also shocked at first glance, and when Chen Lan said this, she suddenly woke up. The green calyx also tasted the taste, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull the person forward, and also whispered: "The third lady is right, there are still guests in the western room!" ”

Seeing that Zhu Shi also looked at her sternly, Yu Shao's heart shrank, but thinking of the urgency of the news, after she stepped forward and curtsied, her low voice was still trembling: "Old lady, someone from the outer courtyard just came to see the chief manager, saying that the princess asked him to deliver the letter...... And said it was...... said that our second master made a mistake, Jinyiwei ...... Jinyiwei was ordered to take ...... Take him to prison, this person has already gone to the yamen! The big housekeeper couldn't find Zheng's mother, so I happened to go to Ermen to look for someone to do something, so he informed me......"

The Chen family is a top Houmen that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and from the master to the servant, they all know what is going on with this brocade guard. The heroes who followed Emperor Taizu to conquer this country used to seal the hereditary thirty-six families, and later successively awarded some honors and nobles for their military exploits or relatives, but there are very few hereditary ones, even so, there are no more than twenty of them. Some of those declining former families were rebelled, some were on the wrong side, some were defeated, and some were implicated...... All in all, the Jinyi Guard is going to come to the door to get people, which almost means an unforeseen disaster!

For a while, Jade Peony and Green Calyx saw that Zhu's face had changed greatly, and then pressed their chests, and they were a little out of breath. Seeing that Yu Shao was shocked and was about to shout, Chen Lan hurriedly helped Zhu Shi and shouted in a low voice: "Don't make a noise, don't you think the current situation is not chaotic enough?" Hurry up and pour a cup of hot water, and then bring the medicine commonly used by the old lady, and go to Ziningju to bring a message to the second lady, don't say what's going on, just say that the old lady asked the second lady and Mrs. Dongchanghou to come over and talk. If you wait for Jinyiwei to come, Mrs. Dongchanghou and the two young ladies are still here, maybe it will be even more troublesome! ”

After saying this, Chen Lan looked at the four stunned third-class girls in the room, and ordered in a deep voice: "If you heard it just now, you are not allowed to show half a word later!" ”

Yu Shao was stunned by Chen Lan's barrage of words, while Lu Calyx woke up faster and hurriedly pushed her: "Didn't you hear what Miss San said?" Hurry up and don't delay! ”

After standing for a while, Jade Peony finally came back to her senses, nodded and ran out like a gust of wind, while Green Calyx was busy pouring water and getting medicine. After she took the pill, Chen Lan hurriedly sent water for the Zhu family and took it, and gently stroked the front chest and back for the Zhu family, so it was easy to wait for the old grandmother to come back to her senses, she looked at the old face carefully, but she couldn't see the slightest clue.

If it weren't for her conviction that Hongluo would never lie about that kind of fatal thing, she would have really thought that the Zhu family was stunned by the sudden bad news!

"Okay, three girls, you did a good job, I didn't hurt you in vain!" Zhu sat up straight with the armrest of the warm couch, patted Chen Lan's hand gently, and then let out a long breath, showing his usual composure on his face, "Green calyx, after a while, you will go to the east and west rooms to invite a few young masters and young ladies, as well as the two young ladies of the Dongchang Hou family." ”
