It was late at night, and the cold wind whistling outside was blowing the leaves and debris scattered on the ground, but the oil lamp in the room didn't even move, just shrunk there as if she was asleep, and Aunt Yun sat there in front of the bed reading to Chen Lan, but Chen Lan, who was sleepy at the thought of a few pages in the past, didn't feel sleepy at all at this time, and his eyes were wide open. Aunt Yun looked at it, so she simply put down the book and stopped reading, and tucked the quilt for Chen Lan again.

"Madame is still thinking about Yun'er?" "Of course. Chen Lan sighed softly, "It's been a day after all. It's not just her, as soon as the door closes, the news is closed, saying that she is not worried about how it is possible. Moreover, compared to the last time, the people who came this time didn't say anything, but fortunately, the whole mirror garden has been cleaned up, otherwise it may not be able to be suppressed even if it is like before. By the way, you can't ask anything out there? ”

"I can't ask, and I listen to the accent, not like the local Jingwei." This is what Aunt Yun is most worried about, and she lowered her voice as she spoke, "Madam, forgive me for saying a big rebellion, these soldiers look very strong, they don't look like the old soldiers in the capital, but like they have been on the battlefield." But recently, the place where the imperial court fought was Liaodong in addition to Yunnan, and then Mobei where the lord and Wei Guogong fought together...... Don't talk about this, I'll find a way tomorrow at dawn, and you can sleep first, madam. However, as soon as Aunt Yun's words came out, there was a sound outside. After a while, the curtain in front of Nishijima was opened, as if someone was looking at something. Aunt Yun was about to excuse herself to go out and have a look, but Chen Lan had already seen it, and immediately opened her mouth to call: "Who is outside?" Something to say come in. She was both open. , Aunt Liu outside can no longer hide and tuck, after flashing into the door, she curts, she stood by the bed and bowed slightly, "Madam, I'm looking late" I'm afraid of disturbing you to sleep. ”

"My aunt wasn't by my side on the first day, and she was talking so much off-topic. Is it a matter at home or outside? Seeing Aunt Liu's hesitation, Chen Lan couldn't help but be a little impatient, "Auntie, don't hesitate, you said that I can still sleep" You don't say that I can't sleep even next to the pillow. ”

"Madam, there was a sudden movement at the back door, and someone threw in such a letter to come in." Aunt Liu took out the hand that had been behind her, and she was holding a letter, "It was thrown in with a stone, fortunately the backyard guards were careful and careful, otherwise they might have missed it." However, the origin of this thing is unknown" So I thought it would be better not to wake up Madame. ”

"Since I'm not asleep" is not a wake-up. Chen Lan asked for a letter, and when she saw that Aunt Yun on the side had already turned on the oil lamp, she shone the envelope against the lamp, and saw that the seal was made of ink, and the envelope was made of oil paper, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Let Aunt Liu go and find the paper cutter and open it carefully. She reached in and pulled out a thin piece of paper. Unfolding it and looking at it, she frowned when she saw the handwriting on it tilting to the left.

It's written with your left hand!

Confirming this, Chen Lan was a little more vigilant. However, it is more shocking than the handwriting——... The top not only pointed out that Yang Jinzhou had detained Anren, and Yangning Hou Chen Ying already knew about it, but also said straight to the point that the arson on the mountain behind Xinying was done by Yangning Hou Chen Ying, "aiming to divert the tiger from the mountain and fish people out." In addition, "Nei Zhong also said that Han Mingyi's family was almost robbed, and his only son escaped with the help of nobles." After all this, Chen Lan only felt that there was a big stone pressed in her heart, and she held it beside the bed for a while before she ordered: "You two also take a look." ”

Aunt Yun and Aunt Liu glanced at each other, and then picked up the letterhead and looked at it together. Although there were some clues from Chen Lan's face just now, but after reading the letter, the two couldn't help but be shocked and angry, and Aunt Yun immediately sat down on the edge of the bed: "Madam, this matter is not trivial, this Yang Ninghou is simply crazy jumping off the wall in a hurry" At least we have to send a letter to the master, otherwise it will be a big Chinese New Year's Eve...... in two days."

"Can you get out?" Chen Lan glanced at Aunt Yun and Aunt Liu, and saw that the two of them showed a trace of embarrassment at the same time, so she said thoughtfully, "Of course, if you try to find a way, you can still go out." But at this time, the guard outside is so strict, no matter whether this guard is good intentions or other meanings, as long as we play a little trick to go out, the dust will settle on a different day, and we will inevitably be grabbed by others. Besides, when you go out, who are you going to see? Is it to find Shuquan, or to Dingfu Street? Uncle Quan is outside the city, what if there is an accident on the road? Dingfu Street is also one of the people involved, will Anzhi be guarded like us? ”

"That, according to Madame'......"

"Put the letter away carefully.

Chen Lan narrowed his eyes, and then said categorically, "Respond to all changes with no change, and when the matter is over, throw things out...... No, wait a minute, just like this, early tomorrow morning, call me in with the team outside the door, and I'll give him this thing when the time comes! ”

There was no night long*, and early the next morning, the mirror garden was lively. Although there were officers and soldiers guarding outside the door, the past few days had to be well lived, so even those who were frightened were busy doing their errands under the gags of their companions. And the cooks in the kitchen room can be said to be busy and happy, because the meat and vegetables prepared at home are at least enough to eat the Lantern Festival, not counting the vegetable sheds and fruit sheds in the greenhouse. A few people were busy digging wells and washing vegetables, while chattering their teeth there.

"Therefore, the previous time, those who saw the officers and soldiers coming to the door in a panic and went up and down the camp and even quietly made a way to get out, all of them swept away after the incident. Don't look at the kindness of the lady, and there is no mercy in the real action. ”

"No wonder it's so peaceful this time, it turns out that there has been such a thing before. I came here from Jiangnan, where have I ever seen such a scary scene? However, isn't it rumored that someone has come to ask Madame about it? ”

"What kind of question, Madame still has a body, who is not polite when you come? Besides, who would believe that Madame would do such a thing? Look at the fourth uncle who often comes and goes, who is not polite to greet him, when has he been stingy in rewarding? If you want me to say, this is the son of a big family, where can those who are arrogant and domineering with their eyes open on the top of their heads, how can they fight with that kind of method that is not on the stage! As the two of them were talking about this, another cook who had just gone out hurriedly walked back, beckoned to them to silence, and then went to the small stool next to them to sit down, and then said in a low voice: "There is a military master outside, saying that Mrs. invited someone to the main hall to talk, and at this time Mrs. Lady has come out of the Pleasant Pavilion." "The lady of this cold day meets people in person? Do you want to open the main hall? Even if he leads the team, at most it is only a thousand households, so he needs to meet his wife in person? ", one of the fastest cannons asked several questions, and then suddenly woke up, "By the way, you said that the day after tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, can the master come back?" At the same time that everyone looked at each other, the main hall over there had been opened, and after the warm sedan chair stopped at the door, Aunt Liu and a few girls surrounded Chen Lan and entered. Although he ordered the earth dragon to be burned in advance in the morning, after all, the time was still short, and there was still a bit of winter cold in the house.

When Chen Lan sat down, the screen was set up, and there was a sound of announcement outside the door, saying that Xu Qianhu was here. After a while, Chen Lan heard the dull sound of riding boots stepping on the green bricks, followed by a rough and rough sound.

"I've seen Mrs. Yang."

This was a voice that he had never heard before, so Chen Lan pondered for a moment, and then said: "I know that Xu Qianhu is here on official business, and I didn't want to alarm you to come over, but it was really last night, a strange thing happened at home. If I'm not mistaken, the back street at the back door must have been watched by your men, but it wasn't long after Haizheng that someone threw something in with a stone. I want to ask, can Xu Qianhu know? ”

"There is such a thing!"

Aunt Yun, who came in with Xu Qianhu, clearly saw that the officer who was forty miles away had a shocked and angry expression on his face, and it didn't look like a disguise. So, knowing that Aunt Liu must be able to see it, she nodded slightly at the screen.

Receiving such a reaction, Aunt Liu, who was standing in the gap of the screen, quietly walked back, bowed down beside Chen Lan and said, "Madam, looking at Xu Qianhu's reaction, it seems that I really don't know. ”

Chen Lan bowed slightly, and immediately said unhurriedly: "Since Xu Qianhu doesn't believe it. Aunt Liu, take the letter to Xu Qianhu and let it be seen, and then call the people who watched the night last night. As Chen Lan expected, when this Xu Qianhu read the content of the letter, his face suddenly grew long, but he was more confused and confused, and after asking the husband who was patrolling the night, he knelt down on one knee without saying a word: "Madame's forgiveness, it is a dereliction of duty, so let's go and interrogate it strictly" I promise that I will not make such a mistake again! If the lady has nothing else to do, she will retire first. ”

Waiting for Xu Qianhu to leave, Chen Lan came out from behind the screen. Compared with the dazed nature of a few girls, Aunt Yun and Aunt Liu's thoughtfulness, her heart is already as transparent as a mirror. It's a retirement rather than a resignation, and the difference is great. And this Xu Qianhu listened to that talking, most of them were rectum, and it was impossible not to make a fuss without making a fuss. If the person who submitted the letter only stated the incident instead of even pointing out the mastermind, it could still be said to be well-intentioned, but even if Chen Ying's name was named, most of them were ill-intentioned. That being the case, that chicken, flying and dog jumping, I think it was enough for him to drink a pot! Of course, the nose and poop people are rumors, and the third uncle Chen Ying can't get out of it, so it's best to throw out this explosive bag and let them eat the dog!

It's just that "after all, her side is a petty fight, success or failure, it depends on Yang Jinzhou's side!" ~！
