Chapter 319: Sharp (II)

Due to the increasing plumpness of the body, the former clothes of the Yixing county lord can no longer be worn, and now the cherry-colored embroidered peony placket is made very wide, just covering her bulging lower abdomen, and the wide Yuehua skirt below is light and elegant. Chen Lan stared at the skirt for a second time, then raised his head and swept the three-foot Qingfeng like autumn water, feeling that this was really incompatible.

"You two girls remember to come to see me?" The lord of Yixing County saw Zhang Huixin pulling Chen Lan to salute with a weak face, so he raised his left hand angrily, "No need to salute, Huixin, you haven't been here for three days, you know at a glance that you have a man and forget your mother and Ah Lan, you are too, although there is a funeral at home, but I am your godmother, and I am not an outsider, so I don't want to be taboo about this."

Chen Lan hurriedly agreed, and seeing that Zhang Huixin had already hid behind her, he couldn't help but smile, and then stepped forward quietly, lightly put a sword on the sword of the county lord of Yixing, and said softly: "Mother, now at this time, you should make less of this, if you really bump into something, they can't say that they can't explain it in front of their godfather, even the emperor can't avoid questioning." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Huixin hurriedly flashed out, nodded again and again, and agreed: "That's right, that's right, mother, you have to listen to your sister's persuasion." ”

"You......" The county lord of Yixing glared at Zhang Huixin helplessly, and then handed over the sword in his hand very reluctantly, seeing Chen Lan take the scabbard handed by Zhao's mother who stepped forward quickly, the action of returning to the sheath was quite skillful, she couldn't help but her eyes flashed, and then she sighed and said, "They are all in charge of me as if I am a three-year-old child, and your father is not at home as if he is busy all day, I am all crazy, but you two girls with no conscience don't know how to come back and see ......."

It was the first time for Chen Lan to see the county lord of Yixing complaining like a child, while Zhang Huixin was commonplace, and he didn't reply with a smile, so the two of them took her arm left and right, and carefully sent the person back to the upper room. And behind them, a few mothers looked at me, and then breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and even Zhao's mother wiped a handful of oil and sweat on her forehead that rarely appeared in the winter.

"It's a shame that the two aunts and grandmothers happened to come back, otherwise it would be a good meal for the master to come back."

Returning to the room and sitting down, the county lord of Yixing had to ask Zhang Huixin about the situation of the Dai family, and listened to his daughter add fuel and vinegar to say something about the Dai family's aunt who treats others harshly and treats herself leniently, and laughed twice, and then glanced at Chen Lan thoughtfully, because of a smile: "You two are so here today, it must be Huixin that you dragged Ah Lan, who is polite." Tell me, what's going on? I've been in a panic for the past few months, and I can't wait to go out and relax, so I'll listen to it."

Seeing that the county lord of Yixing was really expected to be interested, Chen Lan couldn't help but glance at Zhang Huixin, seeing his face full of pride, his eyes blinked, and he seemed to be saying that I was not wrong, she lost a helpless wry smile, and took the previous news. As she spoke, she observed the change in the expression of the county lord of Yixing, and saw that he frowned at first, then solemnly, and then leaned on the back of the kang chair and thoughtfully tapped the kang table with her fingers, and finally closed her eyes.

Chen Lan was still calm, Zhang Huixin couldn't help it, he simply knelt down and straightened his waist, pressed the hand of the county lord of Yixing across the kang table, and said with a slight anger: "Mother, it's time for you, don't sell it, I'm in a hurry."

"What are you anxious about?" The county lord of Yixing opened his eyes slightly, and said with a smile, "It's not your baby brother or Concubine Xian Niangniang who has something wrong, it's the three eunuchs......"

"Mother" Zhang Huixin finally couldn't bear it, and shouted angrily without waiting for the Yixing county lord to finish speaking, "How can you say that Cheng's father-in-law has always been by the queen's side, every time I go back, he is very kind to me, the last time I entered the palace to see the virtuous concubine Niangniang, I detoured to the back garden of Kunning Palace, and saw him burning incense and worshipping over there, how could it be that the bad guy Xia Gonggong was in charge of the royal prison and the wine and vinegar noodle bureau, but when the deceased father-in-law came to see his mother-in-law in Guanglu Temple, he said good things about him behind his back, It is said that it is never deducted, and it is never asked for benefits, so it is always rare to be so clean, right? As for Gonggong Qu, I heard that he is a loner and even has few close subordinates, such a person is better than those cronyistic guys"

Hearing Zhang Huixin say so much in one breath, Chen Lan couldn't help but stare at her in surprise for a while, and then noticed that the county lord of Yixing was also staring at Zhang Huixin. is only different from the usual doting when the county lord of Yixing looks at his daughter, the eyes at this moment are extremely sharp, and it is the same feeling as when he usually looks at others with pickiness and suspicion. She wanted to say a few words, but when she caught a glimpse of the Yixing County Lord's hand that was pressed by Zhang Huixin and did not move, she had a plan in her heart, and sat back with peace of mind.

"It's rare that you don't just talk to me, but you can talk about this bunch of miscellaneous things." said words of praise, but there was not much smile in the eyes of the county lord of Yixing, "Since you are the beginning, then I might as well tell you the truth." Gonggong Cheng is the steward of Kunning Palace, and he is loyal to the queen, so the emperor is happy to use him. It's just that when the queen was recuperating from illness, the big eunuchs in the six palaces of the east and west were in his hands, and there were one or twenty eunuchs, and those who were lucky were dead, and those who were unlucky were better off than dead? Do you know that during the period when Gonggong Xia was taking care of the imperial prison, the accumulated amount of silver withheld was at least 10,000 and 8,000, and there were also many people who donated fields to his name, and put it on the officials outside, which was also bribery and deserved death? As for Qu Yong...... Don't you know that he has more lives than all the people in our family? You don't understand anything, so you learn to intercede in front of me? ”

The more Zhang Huixin listened, the more his face sank, and when he arrived, he suddenly jumped off the kang without saying a word, pulled his shoes and rushed out of the house like a gust of wind. Chen Lan was startled, she wanted to go out immediately and chase people back, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, she suddenly remembered something, and then turned her head to look at the county lord of Yixing.

"Mother, why are you doing this?"

"She has a pure heart and a big grin, if it weren't for my daughter, it would be my daughter, it would be my daughter, it would be inevitable that someone would beat her idea, which was originally my fault. I just always felt that if she was such a bright and generous girl with intrigue and trickery, it would be like adding a haze to the blue sky, and it would not look good at that time. ”

Speaking of this, the county lord of Yixing sighed lightly, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and raised his head to look at Chen Lan: "You are very familiar with her temper, you should understand whether she can say this." Her father and I are still here, everything can shelter her from the wind and rain, and she doesn't have to think about this, how could she suddenly take care of this idle business, and say such a thing? If I teach her a few words today, she will use her brain to think about it, so as not to be calculated by others and not know anything. ”

Chen Lan remembered that when Zhang Huixin arrived at the Mirror Garden today, he first laughed loudly in front of the Jiang family, and waited until he saw himself alone, such a measured move was indeed rare in the past. She was shocked by the sudden news at that time, and she didn't think about it, but now that she thinks about it carefully, the abnormal sense of disobedience is suddenly extremely strong.

"Mother means that when Sister Huixin hears these things in the palace today, there must be someone else around? And the man probably talked to her a lot? ”

"Or are you smart." The county lord of Yixing looked at Chen Lan, whose eyes were shining, and he couldn't help but smile, "Sometimes when I look at you, I can't help but think, you really don't look like my goddaughter, but like I taught you by hand...... Someone"

With this voice, a girl opened the curtain and came in, and when she was about to salute, she saw the county lord of Yixing waving, hurriedly stepped forward, bent down and turned her ear. After listening to the low command, she solemnized her hands and immediately stepped out of the door. When the curtain fell, the county lord of Yixing looked at Chen Lan and said, "I have already instructed her to interrogate the mother who followed Huixin into the palace, and after asking where she went, we can know the general situation." When this stupid girl figures it out, she will come over and talk about the rest. Let's not mention this first, there is such a big movement in the palace, I really don't think it's just the emperor's anger, maybe there is another article. After all, I don't care about foreign affairs for many days, and I will listen to those things ahead. ”

At this moment, Chen Lan was really dumbfounded, seeing that the county lord of Yixing was smiling slyly, she didn't know that this person was angry that the news had blocked him before, so she couldn't help but think a little. However, in front of her godmother, the old god, she was defeated after all, so she had no choice but to tell all the situations in the past two months concisely, and finally said as if adding to the snake: "If the emperor knows, I'm afraid I will have to complain again, mother, don't say that I said it." ”

"Okay, okay, don't say it, I'm not blind now" The county lord of Yixing beckoned to Chen Lan with a smile, and saw her move from the opposite side and sit down next to herself, the feeling of snuggling next to her made her very intimate, and she couldn't help but reach out and grab her, "It's hard for you, there are so many things, and you never come to me to say that the first seven can't catch up, and when your third aunt is twenty-seven or three-seven, I will send someone to sacrifice." Alas, in this life, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man......"

After sighing with emotion, she did not continue to speak sadly, but changed her words and said: "I haven't been in the palace for many days, and now something like this has suddenly happened, I think that someone designed it at the beginning, but they only expected the beginning, and they will not expect the ending, so there will be people who come to me to find me, rest assured, the emperor has always been a person who thinks about love, and he will punish those nobles because most of them are national beetles, and they can't say anything about love at all, but these three are not ordinary, even if they go to prison, they will not be mistreated." And don't worry, it's not over yet."

Seeing that Chen Lan nodded again and again, the county lord of Yixing asked coldly, "Did you learn your swordsmanship from Uncle Quan?" ”
