Chapter 48: The Will (I)

Zhang Huixin asked Zhao's mother to send a box with bits and pieces. The silk cloth in Hangzhou, the clay figurines in Wuxi, the small paper umbrellas in Suzhou, and the Buddhist beads in Jinshan Temple...... All in all, when Chen Lan smiled and put this same thing on the kang table in front of Zhu, Zhu, who had a little haze on his face, couldn't help but smile.

"This child, how old is he or when he was a child. That's it, even if she stumbled you today, it was impossible to miss the poetry meeting. These things were given to you by her, and you just put them away, and it was also a piece of love. Zhu saw Chen Lan present the Buddha beads that hit the sandalwood box with both hands, so she shook her head and said, "I have also used this string of Buddhist beads for many years, and I don't need to change it. As for her birthday, you can send it in person when the time comes, after all, the county lord of Yixing has always been difficult to get along with, and it is not easy to bring others with him. ”

The county lord of Yixing is not easy to get along with?

Chen Lan secretly wondered in his heart, and immediately understood that this was most likely what his aunt and the Korean Duchess had complained about in front of the Zhu family, and at this time, the Zhu family inadvertently revealed it. Accompanied Zhu for a conversation. Seeing that her face was tired, she had said everything she should have said today, and she didn't show any reason for what she shouldn't say, so she retreated knowingly.

Seeing that the curtain was falling gently, Zhu tilted his eyes on the kang and closed his eyes for a moment, and then ordered someone to go to see where Zheng's mother was. After about a cup of tea, Zheng's mother came into the house, and when she saw that there was no one else, she stood in front of Zhu.

"The old lady is looking for me?"

"How did the second girl run out, you should find out now?"

"Got it figured out." Mother Zheng bent down and said in a low voice, "It was Mrs. Tang who was guarding the back door who was greedy for the reward of the second room, and the second lady grabbed her previous shortcomings, she didn't dare to disobey, so she arranged a carriage and horse." As for the people along the way, they were also attracted by the sudden illness of the second lady, and they didn't pay attention to the second lady who was mixed in with the girl. ”

"She is really capable, she actually went out as a girl, and her face at home was clean!" Zhu remembered the mother sent by the Jin Wangfu just now, and suddenly squeezed it on the pillow in his hand, and then said coldly, "Today she was able to do it, and the two female officials in the palace must have also stuffed silver coins there, and I guess I think I have some hope." Since both of them are so ignorant, it's no wonder that I'm ...... You go and prepare, and invite the old lady of the Su family to come over in two days. ”

Mother Zheng really didn't expect the old lady to invite that Chen to come, and she couldn't help but show a trace of hesitation on her face: "The old lady really wants to agree to that marriage?" Forgive me the truth. After all, there is no marriage book written in black and white, and it is a robbery while the fire is ......"

"Who said I was going to promise that woman who didn't know the height of the sky?"

Zhu raised his eyebrows, and took out a few pine nuts with a handkerchief to eat, and then said unhurriedly, "I have seen a lot of this kind of woman, and I brought those little family's calculations to our mansion, thinking that if our Yangning Marquis Mansion is defeated, I will eat her set?" You've already arrived in the palace, so you don't have to worry about the title for the time being, and it's okay to use her as a temptation. By the way, the girl who followed Su Wan'er to the palace, have you asked? ”

Su Wan'er only brought a little girl with her, so the Zhu family left her to live in the Tatexiang Courtyard, so she sent another girl to serve, and today she used the excuse that the little girl had never seen the world and asked her to go out with her. Mother Zheng just went to call her out to ask, and when she heard Zhu's question, she had to say it in 1510, and she didn't even miss a few complaints from Su Wan'er about the girl.

Zhu Shizai listened carefully, and nodded slightly at the end: "The second girl is just it, I can't hide my words in my heart." It's like her mother, and she's snarky. I didn't expect that the five girls had only practiced a layer of skin, and they didn't learn the muscles and bones of the lower heads. It's no wonder that the same is true of that woman, who can't hold her breath at the critical moment. It's three girls......"

"The third lady is kind-hearted, and she also mentioned some things about Su Wan'er."

"It's good to be kind-hearted, if she's just like those ......" Zhu sighed tiredly, then looked at the high roof, and suddenly showed a coldness on his face, "Yue'er is already the head mother of the Korean Mansion, if I wasn't worried that she would not have her mother's family to rely on, how could I tolerate those who are not successful to this day!" Fortunately, I have survived all these years, and he is one step ahead of me after all! ”

Hearing Zhu mention the old marquis of the year, Zheng's mother immediately lowered her hand and bowed her head, not daring to say a word. Those things back then, she only vaguely heard her mother Zhao Auntie mention them. The old marquis has been guarding for many years, and his wife has been alone in the empty house for fifteen years, but when the old marquis came back from Liaodong, he brought seven or eight concubines, a bunch of sons and daughters, and passed away in a fit of anger. The concubines didn't care, but the concubines who had sons couldn't stop fighting, and when the Zhu family passed the door, some of the concubines died, some died of illness, and some simply died for some reason. Fortunately, the Zhu family was luckier than Yuan, and finally had a daughter, but the old marquis later went out of Gansu, and when he came back more than ten years later, he added three young concubines.

The journey from Tatekain to Kinsakikaku was not short, so it took three one-way trips in one day. Although Chen Lan's body had recovered, he couldn't help but feel a little tired, so he went back to the house and rested on the kang for a while, and drank a hot cup of hot tea, which eased his breath. Not much happened today, but the pervasive pressure made her a little unbearable. Thinking that the old lady should be able to cope with it, she called the red snail.

Because he was a first-class trustworthy person, Chen Lan didn't care about him, and directly picked out the question: "The hand stove before, you really picked it up from under the plum tree?" ”

Hongluo bent down one leg and knelt on one knee on the foot in front of the kang, gently pinching Chen Lan's leg, and then whispered, "It was the slave maid who happened to see a black shadow flashing behind a plum tree, so she went over to take a look, who knows who there is no one, only to see the young lady's hand stove there." ”

Thinking that it was the brocade-clothed guard officer shrouded in fog who sent him back, Chen Lan couldn't help but feel a little stunned. She is not a spring girl, so naturally she will not have the vision of a hero to save the beauty, and at that time, people aimed to save King Zhou, but it had nothing to do with her. It's just that such a person sent her hand stove back, which undoubtedly eliminated one of the biggest troubles for her, and the two words of care alone are extremely rare.

"Miss. Miss? ”

Chen Lan, who came back to his senses, saw that Hongluo's face was different, and knew that he had just seen it, so he smiled and said: "It's okay, it was me and the second lady of the Korean Mansion who accidentally left something behind when they were playing in the plum forest, and I think it was the gardener and the like who sent the things back, so don't make a noise." ”

Although Hongluo is not a child, he is the most observant of words and colors, and naturally knows when to get to the bottom of it, and when to accept it when he sees it, so he only nodded. and talked about the gossip he said when he was with Qin Fang and the girls from various provinces. Although these big girls who came out were very cautious and did not arrange their own masters, they were very knowledgeable about the situation of the nobles of the Beijing Division, which made the red snail who was inexperienced in this area quite rewarding.

successively told Chen Lan about a few noble mansions, and seeing that he was really attentive, Hongluo simply said more carefully, and even the expressions and tones of some girls were imitated vividly. Chen Lan listened and listened, firstly, he was amazed that the red snail had a good memory, and secondly, he had a headache that the family had been hereditary for hundreds of years, and the population of each family was extremely large, and if he was not careful, he might hear it. However, when she heard the three words Ru Ningbo mentioned in Hongluo's mouth, she suddenly paid attention.

"The two girls from the Yang family of Runingbo happened to go out, and I heard someone talking about it, saying that Mrs. Runingbo made her cronies put Yinzi money outside, and she had caused a lot of trouble before, and she handed the note to Shuntianfu to smooth it out. They also said that the Runing Bo family was originally one of the richest in the Jingshi Xungui, but because of the incident that was attacked ten years ago, Zhuang Tian received more than half of it, so the family was not as good as before. I heard that because of her son's failure, I don't know how much effort it took to finally make the fourth lady join the fate of an old lady in the palace, and now she has finally returned to the circle of the top nobles......"

As Hongluo was talking, Yun'er's voice suddenly came from outside, and Chen Lan heard it, so he waved his hand at her. Sure enough, Xu Yun'er came into the house, saluted and stepped forward and said coquettishly: "Miss forgot me if she had a red snail, and she didn't bring me to the Lantern Festival when it was so fun to enjoy the plum blossoms in the Jin Palace!" ”

Seeing that Qin Fang also came in after him, Chen Lan said angrily: "You ask Qin Fang and Hongluo, is the Jin Wangfu a fun place?" ”

"Where is the fun, the ladies and ladies can still hold the hand stove around the charcoal basin, we can only guard outside and listen to the orders, standing on the bluestone ground is almost freezing to death. And he didn't even have a cloak to protect him from the cold. Qin Fang naturally knew what Chen Lan meant, so she said in a casual tone, "If it weren't for the fact that the young lady happened to be dragged by the second lady of the Korean government to go shopping, we wouldn't have to stay in the wind, we could barely get through, and a few girls would have bruised faces." It was us, and when we came back, we also drank a big bowl of ginger soup. ”

Yun'er heard that it was such a trip to the cold, and immediately stuck out her tongue and did not continue the topic. Today, in the Water Mirror Hall, there was a matter of green calyx assignment, and she was assigned by Chen Lan to watch, and then she knew how boring the housekeeper was in the morning. At this time, she chatted with her for a while, and she was talking about the gray appearance of the second room Zhu's mother, when someone outside suddenly called out to Miss, and then the curtain moved, but Ruixue hurriedly entered the house.

"Miss, Miss! Outside, the father-in-law of the palace is coming! ”

Chen Lan stood up immediately, and saw that several girls in the room were all worried, she remembered Zhao's mother's words, took a deep breath and calmed down. She doesn't have a grade now, so naturally she doesn't have any makeup, and she can't take her turn to greet her, so she instructed Rui Xue: "You go to the corner gate and wait, if there is any news, report immediately." Qin Fang stayed to guard the house, Su Mu went to the Lixiang Courtyard, and reported to the old lady that I took Yun'er and Hongluo to the Water Mirror Hall. ”
