Chapter 31: Composure

Tateka-in Temple East Second Room.

For the ordinary girls of the Hou Mansion, today's events are undoubtedly great joy and sorrow. The joy is that the second master Chen Jiu was finally released, and the sad thing is that the marquis of Yangning was taken away! However, compared to the worst endings such as raiding homes and selling, this situation is not the worst now, but even so, an individual is still listless when he does things, even the most high-spirited girls in the past are the same, one by one drooping their heads, and even speaking and answering are powerless.

Zheng's mother went out after sending the doctor away, Yu Shao took the little girl to boil the medicine, and Lu Cao went to visit Mrs. Xu who was still sick in Cuiliuju in the third room because of Zhu's sober instructions. The other two first-class girls were worried about the situation at home, and were busy monitoring everywhere, and naturally there were only a few small ones left in the main room. Chen Lan sat on the edge of Zhu's bed, and saw that her face was sallow and sallow, and her eyes were closed and lying there, so he gently tucked the corner of the quilt.

"Third Miss, the medicine is ready."

Hearing the sound from behind, Chen Lan turned around and saw that it was a jade peony holding a small tea tray with red lacquer, so he stood up and took the medicine bowl from above, put it on another small table at the head of the bed, and leaned down and whispered twice. Seeing that Zhu Shi slowly opened his eyes, she helped him sit up. Yu Shao hurriedly took the pillow and put it behind Zhu's back, and when she was about to put a big handkerchief on her front chest, she was vigorously pushed away.

Seeing this situation, Chen Lan's heart moved, and he didn't say anything, he gently stirred the medicinal soup with a spoon, then handed it over with both hands, and said without raising his head: "The doctor said just now, the old lady is in good health, although there are some problems, but there is nothing wrong with it, just don't move in the future." This big tonic soup is just right for you to drink lukewarm. ”

At Zhu's age, what she is most afraid of is a sick word, and when she heard Chen Lan say this, even if she knew that it was to comfort herself, she finally turned a little pale, but she still insisted on taking the bowl by herself and drank the whole bowl of medicine in one go. Waving her hand and rejecting the candied fruit box brought by Yu Shao, she nodded to Chen Lan and said, "Good boy, it's a shame that you still stay, otherwise this house will be messed up." ”

"What is the old lady talking about, not to mention Mother Zheng, even Sister Shan Lucalyx Sister Yu Shao and a few of them are here, and they can also take care of you in an orderly manner, but because of the shocking news at first glance, everyone is a little at a loss, I want to go back It's okay, and besides, I rested in the Huguo Temple for a while today, and now I naturally have the spirit to serve here."

When she learned that Chen Lan actually had a headache and didn't go to see King Jin when she rested in the retreat, her face suddenly showed a trace of disappointment, but when she heard that Luo Xu, the prince of Weiguo, and Yang Jinzhou, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, were traveling with King Jin, she finally nodded again.

"Even if there are outsiders, it is good not to see them, there is a difference between men and women, lest people say that our Chen family has no rules......"

Chen Lan smiled and said that Luo Xu, the prince of Weiguo, came to block the road after giving gifts, and then took out the fan. Zhu Shi unfolded it and looked at it, and then said thoughtfully: "I knew that he was messing around, but I didn't expect it to be the same even outside." A good son, if you go to imitate any calligraphy and painting, can't you find something to do...... But since he said it, when he invites you another day, you can just go there, and Wei Guogong is now the governor of the Chinese military after all. ”

Having said that, Chen Lan saw Zhu's two hands clasped tightly outside the quilt, and knew that her mood must not be as calm as it seemed. Therefore, she persuaded her as if she had no idea, and it was not until Zhu Shi showed that she was tired, and she retired. When I came out of the house, it was the green calyx who came to deliver it in person.

"Thanks to the presence of Miss San today, otherwise as soon as Mother Zheng leaves, we will really not be able to hold back." The green calyx is the son of the house in the house, and now he is about to match someone when he is old, but he encounters this kind of thing, so he is worried, "The old lady's mood has changed too much these days, although the imperial doctor said that it is not a big problem, but he also mentioned that after all, he is such an old person, so he must always take care." ”

"Sister Green Calyx just remember this, at most mention it to Mother Zheng, don't mention it in front of the old lady. Besides, our Hou Mansion has gone through so many years, and we haven't seen any strong winds and waves, and now although this change is sudden, as long as everyone works together, it may not be a big level. I also asked my sister to persuade me more, and I will come to see the old lady after dinner. ”

The green calyx hurriedly responded, and when he was sent to the entrance of the hall, he watched Chen Lan leave with the red snail, and when he turned around, he saw Lan Xin probing his brain behind his back. She had never liked Lan Xin's pettiness, and she didn't bother to pay attention to it at this time, so she went straight down the steps and walked inside, but she was chased by someone after she didn't take a few steps.

"Sister Green Calyx!" Lan Xin hurriedly caught up with the green calyx, and then glanced outside and said, "The red snail has been going to the third lady for a while, and I haven't seen her come back to say hello to the old lady." In the past, she also said that she only had the old lady in her heart, but this time with the new master, the old lady forgot everything in front of the old lady, and she really had no conscience. ”

Lu Calyx's heart was full of things about the second master being robbed, and when she heard that Lan Xin was still thinking about the past with Hongluo, she suddenly became angry, and she didn't look back and said: "If you have a conscience or not, you don't look at the usual, but at the critical time!" Don't be busy camping in front of the old lady all day long, it's only right to take care of your own business! ”

Lan Xin was stunned when she heard this, and saw that the green calyx had already opened the curtain and entered the house, so she stomped her foot hatefully, and then remembered what happened before, and was afraid for a while. She was born in poverty, and she was the third eldest in the family, so she couldn't eat and wear anything, and she didn't know what a good life was until she entered the Hou Mansion. If the Hou Mansion really falls, will it be possible that she will be reduced to the way she used to be?

She stood there dumbfounded, a fine silk handkerchief already twisted into rags.

After passing the west corner gate of the sandwich road, the scene of opening doors everywhere on the wall just now was gone, and the surroundings were obviously much deserted, and the red snail took two steps forward in time, only half a step behind Chen Lan. Rao is her extremely cautious personality in the past, but after experiencing so much today, she is still a little unbearable. Even if she didn't worry about the Hou Mansion, she had to worry about the future of herself and Chen Lan. Therefore, after repeated presses, she still couldn't help but ask.

"Miss, what are we going to do now?"

"What should I do?" Chen Lan paused at his feet, then walked forward steadily, and said unhurriedly, "What I did in the past few days, what I did now, don't forget what I told in Huguo Temple before, when I follow me to the Tatexiang Temple, talk to a few more of them in the green calyx, and when I meet Zheng's mother, I will pull two more words, and the old lady will be in front of me for a while." ”

"But...... But you shouldn't have ...... now."

"What shouldn't you plan first?" Chen Lan glanced back at Hongluo, and saw that her face was full of anxiety and anxiety, no matter how mature her heart was, after all, she was a real thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, and she would be the age when she didn't know the hardships of the world in the next generation, so she turned her head, "You also heard it today, the second uncle is to win the title, but the title is different from destroying the coupon." If you destroy the iron coupon of the hero, there is no chance to make a comeback, as long as the iron coupon of the hero is not destroyed, there will always be a chance. Besides, the second uncle has also been released. ”

Saying this, she didn't have time to think about whether the red snail understood or not. She just guessed that the Supreme Son of Heaven had not established a prince for a long time, and he was undoubtedly unwilling to create a No. 2 person, and although King Jin seemed to be restrained enough, there was a Korean mansion and a Yangning Marquis Mansion behind him, although they had been heroes for many years and were no longer in the past, but they had old roots in the army. Now the emperor has promoted a rising star Wei Guogong, and by the way, he has brought out a King Lu, so he can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. As for the second uncle Chen Jiu, who was released after only three days of imprisonment, and then lost his title, he was undoubtedly a victim of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger.

Whether that guess was correct or not, she had to keep her composure. She has no reinforcements to rely on, she can only rely on herself!

The Marquis of Yangning will definitely be returned, but I don't know sooner or later. And after suffering such a loss, I hope the old lady can really understand. She didn't expect the grandmother to really be close to her, but she wished she could be counted a few points less. In addition, she has to keep an eye on Chen Yan, at least she has to get the children of those generals in first, and also cultivate some of her own team for him.

Back at the Splendid Pavilion, she sat down on the warm kang with a tired woman, and she had a feeling that she never wanted to stand up again. Rui Xue, who stayed at home, was busy making tea, and told the story of handling housework in the Water Mirror Hall this morning. Without her, Chen Yun and Chen Xi's two sisters actually shared their own affairs, each in charge of a mess, compared to Chen Yun's single-handedness, the mother next to Chen Xi was able to do it tightly, and even handled several things beautifully.

Thanks to Rui Xue's good memory, she said the same thing at all, and when Chen Lan heard that she was standing there pretending to be dumb all morning, she couldn't help but praise her twice, and Rui Xue immediately showed a happy face.

It wasn't until dinner time that Qin Fang and Yun'er, who had never seen anyone before, came back one after another. The news that Qin Fang brought was that the old marquis did recognize a family member in Gansu when he was alive, but he had not been in contact with him for many years. Yun'er, on the other hand, was much more depressed, saying that Cuiliuju was heavily guarded, and she couldn't see the magpie at all. However, after going around the second gate, she got another news.

Early this morning, Aunt Luo went out to Weiguo Mansion and came back, but when she came back before noon and got off in front of the second gate, her face was full of iron. She has always been kind, and she was furious for not parking for the first time, and then no one was allowed to enter or leave Cuiliuju!
