Chapter 408 His old love is gone, but my heart is still as new

Although Yang Jinzhou said that he wanted to talk to King Jing, when King Jing came back that night, he had already gone to the Governor's Palace. And Chen Lan thought to himself that he was an NV person, and he couldn't mention some words to the prince and prince, so Suo Xìng could only be tactful to his mother-in-law Jiang. Sure enough, the Jiang family, who had already regarded Xiao Lang as half of his son, immediately came forward to see King Jing in person, and when he came back, the original solemn face had turned into a satisfied smile.

Seeing that King Jing and Xiao Lang kept a little distance, Xiao Lang, the prince of Zhendong Hou, didn't mention anything like moving out next, and her mind gradually relaxed. In contrast, Luo Xu, another temporary resident, was much more worry-free. Under the same roof, Luo Xu is not as familiar as King Jing, nor is he like Xiao Lang who talks less most of the time, he seems to be an ordinary temporary borrowed friend, and he is extremely accurate, and he must have a jiāo to treat every day when he goes out and when he comes back.

In the afternoon of this day, Luo Xu, who always came back in the evening, came back early for the first time. As soon as he entered the second mén, he paused for a moment and asked his mother-in-law to go in and make a report. Not long after, Zhuang's mother came out in person to lead him into the main courtyard. As soon as he entered the room and saw that Jiang and Chen Lan were there, he smiled and greeted him, and after greeting him for a while, he gradually said something.

"Today, Xue Xuezheng originally invited me to preside over the poetry meeting in Zhongshan, but when I arrived at the entrance of the city, there was a big event, and for a while, all those literati and artists were scattered. There was a scandal in Jinling Academy, a teacher who had been lingering in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion for many years did not say that he was in arrears for several painting boats on the Qinhuai River, and the matter went to the Jinling Mansion. ”

The Jiang family has always paid little attention to foreign affairs, but after arriving in Jiangnan, she naturally cared about these things. But the calculations of Jinling Academy were explained by Chen Lan little by little after she moved into the General Military Mansion, and she suddenly realized. At this time, hearing Luo Xu's words, she first frowned, and then snorted in disgust.

"It's really Sven sweeping the floor, how can you be a teacher for doing such a bad thing?"

"And that's just one of them." Luo Xu seemed to be a storyteller in the market, closed his fan, and said with a smile, "When I came back, I passed by the Jiang family, and an ancestral hall was being opened over there. It is said that the eighteenth lord of the Jiang family married jiāo bandits, swallowed money in the public office, bullied his brother, and plotted against the second son of the Xu Shoubei family...... All in all, one crime after another, it is said that the patriarch has asked for the family law, either the eighteenth old man was beaten badly, or he was expelled, all in all, he was absolutely unable to keep the four-room master. The Jiang family's old house was like a pot of porridge, and I, an outsider, went in to watch the excitement for a while. ”

Most of the Jiang family's knots for the Jiang family are in the old patriarch and the third old lady and his two half-brothers, and now the third old lady is already a toothless tiger without power, and she heard that the eighteenth old man ended up like this again, and the hand holding the tea cup couldn't help but tremble slightly a few times, and only sighed softly for a long time, and then turned his head sideways to look at Chen Lan.

"Ah Lan, the affairs of the Jiang family have always been taken care of by you, and when the time comes, the eldest lady will come over again, and you will pass on a word to her. My fifteenth brother is not a material to take care of the industry, and he has already decided to live in the capital, and the name of the head of the family can be given to him, and the person who presides over the affairs in Nanjing will choose another person. Not...... Eshiro, that's him."

Chen Lan nodded hurriedly, seeing that Luo Xu also took advantage of the situation to diverge from this, he didn't mention it, and only said some anecdotes that she heard in Jiangnan, and she casually agreed. When the Jiang family asked her to send Luo Xu out of the main house, she asked with a smile: "Thank you Luo Shizi for bothering." Now, my mother-in-law can sleep more peacefully at night. ”

"It's just a matter of effort." Luo Xu glanced sideways, and saw Chen Lan smiling at the corner of his mouth, his face was a little more brilliant than what he had seen when he first came to Nanjing, so he withdrew his gaze, and said with a smile, "I heard about these two things, I saw them, and none of them did I really help, if you want to say a word of thanks, shouldn't I be ashamed to be ashamed?" It's just to let the old man be relieved, and you don't have to be so polite. But there is another thing I have to remind, is the celebrant eunuch Qu Gonggong still in Nanjing? ”

Seeing that Chen Lan's face froze suddenly, he also stopped and said face-to-face: "I mentioned this matter last time when I asked Bingyun to write to you, because Gonggong Qu and Gonggong Xia are different. Although they are both old people in the emperor's mansion, most of them are only in charge of palace affairs and not foreign affairs, and only Gonggong Qu is often outside. When I was in the cabinet, I often talked to the inner supervisors because I was easy-going, and those inner supervisors often talked about their old people. Among them, some people have mentioned that it is said that Gonggong Qu is from the declining old eunuch family in Jiangnan, so he likes to collect all kinds of books, especially those in overseas languages. ”

Hearing this, Chen Lan immediately remembered what Qu Yong said when he came to see her before, and while his heart was churning, he took the opportunity to ask Luo Xu: "Isn't Gonggong Qu proficient in foreign languages?" ”

This was a casual question, but what she didn't expect was that Luo Xu nodded solemnly: "I was curious at that time, so I went to ask a few interpreters of the Siyi Pavilion, and then I learned that Gonggong Qu is not only familiar with scriptures and history, but also has deep attainments in those Yi languages." What Franc machine, England, France, Russia...... He can speak a rough idea of six or seven kinds of words, and those words can also be understood, and it is really amazing that such a learned person almost does not anticipate foreign affairs, but is just content with the palace eunuch. ”

Even if Chen Lan had been deeply wary of Qu Yong, he couldn't help but be shocked at this moment. Although the Chu Dynasty carried forward the maritime trade of the Song and Yuan dynasties, the study of Yiwen was still a disdain for most people. The translation of the Siyi Pavilion has been passed down from generation to generation, and no one else wants to dabble in it, let alone be fluent in multiple languages. After reading the codex of Lin Changhui and Chu Guogong, she had almost concluded the reason why Qu Yong had learned so many foreign characters at this time, but even so, she still felt unbelievable about this person's extraordinary fanaticism on this.

You know, something has been stored in Ouchi for so many years, and with the power of the royal family, how can it not be carefully read by a translator who knows the languages of various countries? Since it is shelved, it means that it cannot be interpreted. Qu Yong actually put so much effort into it, because he really wanted to pass on these things as he said before; Or is there something else going on? Or maybe what is the connection between him and those two people back then......

For a moment, Chen Lan didn't know how many thoughts had turned in his mind. Only in front of Luo Xu, it was easy for her to come up with a proper surprise. Where did Luo Xu know what Chen Lan was thinking, and said all the way: "His Royal Highness King Jing went to Jiangnan this time for the sake of the South and the West; Brother Yang was to rectify the soldiers and horses of the two rivers and clean up the coastal walkers and pirates; Xiao Shizi said that Zhendong Hou Mansion has a lot of industries in Jiangnan, but it is more about experience, plus in the shopping mall, Zhendong Hou Mansion is of great significance after all; As for me, it's for the academic administration of Jiangnan and the affairs of the college. Several of us have our own duties, and it can be said that all aspects are covered, so what do you want Gonggong Qu to do here? After all, he is an eunuch, and he can't go to Jiangnan. ”

That is, to Chen Lan, Luo Xu will open the skylight and speak brightly like this, and she is not worried that she can't understand. At this time, seeing her frowning thoughtfully, he did not continue, stood there and arched his hand and turned away. It was only around the corner that he glanced at it silently out of the corner of his eye, with a special thought in his heart.

Bingyun is the nv of Xiǎo Zhang Ge Lao, but he doesn't have much interest in these big things outside; 's mother has been in the capital for more than ten years, but she only has one ear in and one ear out of the court; And the other NV people he has seen have fantasies about Chenglong's fast son-in-law are far greater than these boring and complicated news; Only she is special...... This is not so much a sensitivity as a sense of crisis, although she is a NV stream, but she seems to be more alert than the men in the court, instinctively guarding against all kinds of unstable factors.

What kind of childhood does that have to be bōfold to raise such a heart?

On this night, the male NV master of the General Military Mansion was lying on the spacious big chuáng, each other's eyes were blazing and there was no sleep. Chen Lan no longer had the strength to resist Yang Jinzhou's hand that was rubbing his belly—not only because he swore that Mr. Bi said that it would be beneficial for him, but also because after that exhausting exercise, she no longer even had the strength to lift her fingers. Her head rested on the soft pillow, she didn't think of anything in her head, and even when Yang Jinzhou opened her mouth to speak, she only woke up after he repeated it twice in a row.

"Today, Xu Shoubei hinted to me that he was about the same age as Brother Xiao that time."

"Huh?" Chen Lan turned sideways and looked at her husband face to face, and only after a long time did he laugh and said, "He is simply, this is directly proposed?" If he knew that Xiao Shizi had commented that Sister Xu Erxiǎo was too sophisticated and sleek, and she might not be virtuous after marrying home, he was afraid that he would never think of marrying Nv Er to the Zhendong Hou Mansion again. ”

"Oh, Brother Xiao mentioned this?" Yang Jinzhou looked at his wife's narrow smile, and suddenly couldn't help but slap her delicate red chún, and then left a little, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect him to trust you so much." The strange thing is that my mother told me that the conditions for his future wife's room are the first big problem in the world, and it is only suitable for you. Mother just has great ability, where to find a second one for you? ”

"Go, as much as you joke about me, where is his condition to find a wife who will accompany him for the rest of his life, as if he is choosing an assistant for Mrs. Zhendong Hou." Chen Lan unconsciously stood up with his elbows half-sitting, his hair falling down like silk, but his eyes were staring at Yang Jinzhou, who suddenly fell silent at this time, and only blinked lightly after a while, "Or are you jealous?" ”

"Isn't it possible?"

Chen Lan was teasing in a casual tone, but when she heard her husband's answer, she was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Yang Jinzhou's eyes were full of seriousness, and there was no expected banter, she suddenly said angrily: "Idiot"

Seeing that Chen Lan suddenly lay down with his back to him and facing inside, Yang Jinzhou had to reach out and pull her shoulders hard, and it was easy to flip the person over. However, in the face of those smiling eyes, he knew that his wife just did it on purpose, and he blew at people angrily and funny, which encircled the soft waist.

"Even if he doesn't mean that, but after all, he is comparing you to his future daughter-in-law" Seeing that Chen Lan still didn't look at himself, and there were still some irregular movements on his knees, he had to strongly suppress her rebound, so he smiled, "Xiao Shizi is also a bright and upright man, I know that he said this only with a momentary emotion, not to mention that when he met you, you were already my wife...... Including going out with His Royal Highness King Jing this time, sometimes I always wonder if it wasn't for the emperor's marriage, if I had proposed marriage in Shangyang Ninghou Mansion, the old lady would have kicked me out. ”

"Hey" Chen Lan was barely right when she heard what she said, but as soon as the last sentence came into her ears, she immediately glared at people, her face full of annoyance: "What are you thinking?"

"Compared with Luo Shizi and Xiao Shizi, I have an inferior family background." When Yang Jinzhou said this, he didn't pay attention to Chen Lan's round eyes, and actually said word by word, "I know that in the eyes of the emperor, I may only be stronger than them, that is, my family is simple, although the Yang family and the Jiang family are all families, but except for my mother, I have no other close relatives, and I am also a close minister of the emperor." But if I think about it for myself, there is one thing I am stronger than them, and that is my heart. From the time I was very young, my father taught me that my heart should be strong, and no matter what I recognize, I can't waver. ”

Chen Lan was stunned when he listened to it, although there was not a single affectionate and beautiful love word here, but in his ears, there was always a little trembling meaning. The trace of anger she had just felt had dissipated silently, replaced by an indescribable emotion, until a pair of big hands held her tightly in her arms, and she gradually relaxed.

"My heart has never been vast. Although my father passed away early, although my mother took me through the most difficult days, although I almost died several times in Xinghebao, although I was ostracized many times after I returned to Beijing, although many people said that I was just lucky, although this time I also experienced many dangers...... But I always believed that I could get over those ditches. In the past, I wanted to let my mother get over as much as possible, and in the future, I wanted to let my mother get better and better, so that you could live better than when you were in Yangninghou. I will make the old lady feel that even if there is no marriage from the emperor, it is absolutely right to marry you to me. ”

Leaning on the solid xiōng chamber, listening to these real words, Chen Lan's heart was hot, and it took a long time for him to reach out and gently push the person away. Even so, her face was already slightly red from the heat of contact with each other. Instinctively thinking about the news of the afternoon, she opened her mouth, but finally it turned into another low murmur.

"Then I ask you, will you always believe me?"

"Xiǎo fool, you still say that I stay, you are more stupid than me" Yang Jinzhou's hand naturally slipped down his wife's placket, "You are the wife I want to be with for the rest of my life, I don't believe you, who else can I trust?" ”

Since getting married, the biological clock that Chen Lanna cultivated when he was in the Yangning Marquis Mansion has completely failed. Her calm and self-contained appearance in front of people is always unsustainable at night, and the person next to her is completely different from the image in the daytime, always scorching and suffocating. However, Yang Jinzhou can still get up early to practice the sword director without moving, but she has to postpone going to her mother-in-law's morning province every time, and she has to lament the difference in physical strength between male NV. It's like when she is dressing up in front of the dressing table at this moment, she just feels that she has no energy at all.

"Madame, the hairpin of the coral today?"

"Just mix and match."

Knowing that Hongluo's skillful hands were impeccable, Chen Lan agreed casually, so she came back from her trance again, and saw that she could no longer see the dark circles in the mirror, so she stood up with Aunt Yun's hand, and the next action was to move her neck up and down in the mirror, which was still a little stiff.

This day passed quickly, I got up early and went to my mother-in-law's place, and when I came back for breakfast, I asked a little about the trivial matters of the inner courtyard, that is, Mrs. Xu's Lu family came to string mén, Mrs. Jiang came to report the affairs of the Jiang family, and the family members of several subordinate officials, and the last group was Mrs. Pingjiangbo, who came to resign, and this was the only one who did not bring nv. First, there is no longer a grandson who has never been allowed to go out in Pingjiangbo's house, and secondly, because there is another middle-aged person who looks a little shabby with Mrs. Pingjiangbo.

"Lanlan, don't you remember me? I'm your second aunt, and I've seen you when I was in xiǎo. ”

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Chen Lan's brows, even Mrs. Pingjiang was also sinky. Seeing the fù man who was about to come forward, Mrs. Pingjiang had to personally stretch out her hand to block it, and then reprimanded in a low voice angrily: "How did you promise me before?" I didn't bring you here if I knew I wouldn't have brought you here, why are you so ignorant?"

After the initial shock, Chen Lan had already understood the identity of this fù person. It's just that Ping Jiangbo was extremely disgusted with her that day, not to mention the second aunt who suddenly appeared at this time. Therefore, for Mrs. Pingjiangbo's low reprimand, she only pretended not to see it, and then she just greeted Mrs. Pingjiangbo politely, and her eyes did not pay any attention to the person. I don't know how long it took, but she saw Mrs. Pingjiang on the other side with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Mrs. Yang, this is a concubine from the head of the room, and I used to give gifts during the New Year's holidays, so this time the lord and I went to Nanjing, and we also walked around. When she heard that I was coming to the General Military Mansion today, she asked me to bring her here. Here's the thing, she has two sons at home, the eldest has already started a family, and Xiǎo's Ben is studying at Jinling Academy, but he was expelled a few days ago. She was a fù person who had nothing to do, and she was so frightened that she came to beg my lord, but my lord couldn't speak here in Nanjing, so I thought about it again and again, and I could only bring people with a cheeky face. ”
