Even though it's old. I slept lightly at night, and I shouldn't have been able to sleep well in a different place, but Zhu didn't know what was going on last night, and slept very sweetly, and didn't wake up until early in the morning when I opened my eyes on weekdays. called the girl and asked the time, she was crooked on the bed for a while, and then she was served by the green calyx to get up and wash, and change into clothes. When she sat in front of the mirror to comb her hair, she habitually wanted to talk to Aunt Zhao, but when she looked into the bronze mirror, she immediately closed her mouth.

This is good in the house, and every three or five times you can let Aunt Zhao come in to talk to you, but now you can't do it outside. Aunt Zhao is two years older than her, and when she was young, she fell ill because of that incident, where was she willing to let her suffer from bumps on the road again. So, he sighed secretly, realizing that the hands on his head were also light and skillful, and he remembered that this second-class girl coral who specialized in combing her hair was also trained by Aunt Zhao herself, so she didn't think about it anymore.

After combing her hair, Green Calyx stepped forward to report the breakfast list, and sent the rest of the girls away. said lightly about the things after they moved in yesterday, and seeing that Zhu's face was cloudy, he said in a low voice: "Old lady, the third lady didn't want to talk about it, but she was afraid that things would make a big fuss, so let the slave remind me." She also said that if the expectation is correct, I am afraid that there will be something next, and I will be careful to you when I come to say hello this morning. ”

Zhu sat silently for a while, and then a faint smile appeared on his face: "She did things properly, first pressed the matter to let me sleep well, and now let you give me a good night's sleep, so that I can have a preparation in my heart." Her disposal yesterday was okay, after all, a boudoir daughter, who knows about the affairs of farmland tenants, naturally thinks about calming things. Even if these people are instigated by others, they are themselves slippery, although they can't be killed, they can't be easily let go! ”

Speaking of this, Zhu's face was already full of fierceness. At this moment, the little girl's announcement suddenly came from outside: "Old lady, the third lady is here!" ”

Hearing this, the green calyx was slightly stunned, and the Zhu family was also a little surprised. At this time, it was already the right moment, but Zhu had already said that when he went to the Grange, he could get up in the morning to say hello later. Chen Yan and Chen Lan live opposite each other, how could they not come together? Not long after, the cotton curtain embroidered with lotus flowers in pine flowers was opened, and Chen Lan entered the house after him, and his feet were quite hurried. Seeing Chen Lan curtsied, and heard what she said, Zhu's face immediately changed.

"Old lady, early in the morning, there were tenants surrounding the gate of Anyuan, and I let people see it, and most of them had new faces. Also, last night, Sister Green Calyx sent someone back to the city to inquire about the news. I just asked at the Hanging Flower Gate, and when this person returned to the city, he went straight to the back street of the Hou Mansion, and everything was arranged by Zheng's mother. When she went out of the city, Zheng's mother handed out an important news, saying that the Hou Mansion was preparing carriages and horses early in the morning, and it was very likely that the third uncle was coming here to visit the old lady! ”

What was originally a seven-point suspicion has suddenly become ten. Zhu Shi suddenly squeezed the armrest of the Taishi chair, and then sneered: "Why did you come to visit, it's just begging me to go back." After all, he just came back yesterday morning, and he had to go to the court, otherwise he would be able to perform a play of filial piety and virtuous grandsons at the mouth of the alley for me to see! Good Zhuangzi, a few days ago, there were only two or three people who begged our Hou Mansion to come forward for rent free. Now it's a blockage. Since Zhuang Shang is not peaceful, he naturally forced me to go back, and this method is really clever! ”

Speaking of this, although Zhu repeatedly warned himself not to be angry, he still couldn't help it, and slapped it on the armrest, which shook his right hand and hurt, so he took a deep breath and said, "That's it, Imperial Doctor Liu said that I can't be angry, and I don't want to see them." When they came, you saw it for me, and they said that I asked Zheng's mother to go to Huguo Temple on my behalf, and made a wish that I would close the door for seven days and eat seven days of fasting, and I couldn't move the place! Don't bother him! ”

If the words in front of him still have some momentum that Zhu usually does not freak out, the last sentence obviously brings out a deep annoyance. Chen Lan knew that the resentment between Zhu and Chen Ying was very deep, so she didn't think it was different, but if she avoided it, the pressure fell on her shoulders, and she had to groan. After a long time, she spoke softly.

"Old lady, if the third uncle is like those tenants outside the door......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu suddenly laughed as if he had heard something funniest, but the laughter sounded a little cold. After a while, she stopped laughing, and then looked at Chen Lan kindly: "Silly girl, why is your third uncle the same as those mud legs?" He is a daughter, and it is easy to earn military merits and come back to the Left Army Governor's Mansion, how can he be willing to let go of this cold weather and his waist and legs, there is a bad thing in these two places. How can he go to war on horseback, even a military general can't be a general. This is no better than a woman, if her waist and leg are injured, just sit and sit more. If he is injured, the future of this life will be over. ”

Zhu said this calmly, but Chen Lan heard a cold meaning from it, and he was shocked, and then he realized that he was not the old lady who had been immersed in the Hou Mansion for decades after all, and he didn't know much about the third uncle Chen Ying, a completely strange elder. At that moment, she hurriedly agreed, and was about to speak, when Chen Yan also came in to say goodbye. With him, the three ancestors and grandchildren didn't mention anything outside when they had breakfast, and when they finished breakfast, Chen Lan pulled Chen Yan to leave.

When he arrived in the courtyard, Chen Yan looked at Chen Lan and asked in a low voice, "Sister, do you have something to hide from me?" ”

"Yesterday when I first arrived, you didn't sleep all night the day before yesterday, and you were still sleepy after making up for sleep, what's the use of telling you at that time?" Chen Lan didn't wait for Chen Yan to speak, he gently pressed his shoulder, "As for today, you just don't want to care." Later, the third uncle and they are very likely to come over, you can prepare. I'll talk to you later. ”

Hearing that Chen Ying and they were coming, Chen Yan, who originally felt that he was being underestimated, was immediately stunned. Tilting his head and thinking about it, he frowned and said, "We only came here yesterday, why did the third uncle chase after him so quickly?" ”

"What are you chasing? Naturally, I asked the old lady to go back. Chen Lan replied indifferently, seeing that Chen Yan didn't understand it, but he didn't explain, he smiled slightly and said, "Go back to the room and change your clothes, and then think slowly." There's something ahead of me, so I'll go over first. Go back and have someone call you. ”

"Hmm."

Chen Yan was racking his brains to think, he didn't pay attention for a while, he hummed casually, and when he raised his head again, he found that his sister was gone, and he suddenly clenched his hands into fists and beat his head angrily, feeling a little depressed.

When will he be able to think through everything like his sister? My sister is clearly only two years older than him!

If she knew that her brother was thinking about that impossible question, Chen Lan might knock on his little head and warn him not to compare himself with himself, but at this moment, she had the other half of the news that Chen Da had just reported to the capital to inquire about the news. On this day, Xia Zhuangtou, who was the head of Anzhuang, said that he was the nephew of the eunuch Xia who was the royal supervisor in the palace, but in fact, he was a distant relative, and according to the actual calculation, he was separated by at least five clothes. is so estranged, but he arranged people in this Huangzhuang in Tongzhou, and even built this Anyuan with great fanfare......

Thinking like this, she arrived at the Hanging Flower Gate. Since she came in yesterday, she hadn't taken a step here, but now she had to put the rules aside first, and then with the permission of the Zhu family, it was naturally not too polite. Taking the hood handed over by the red snail and putting it on her head, she stepped out of the threshold. In front of the door, a very rudimentary-looking bamboo pole was waiting, and next to it stood four servant women with thick hands and feet. Knowing that this sliding rod must have been driven out yesterday, she naturally didn't pay much attention to it, but when she sat down, when the four of them lifted it together, the feeling of swaying and dizziness when she sat in the sedan chair for the first time in the Jin Wangfu suddenly came up again.

After crossing the stone bridge and walking a stone's throw away, Chen Lan saw a woman in front of him rushing over, but it was Lai's mother who he had seen last night. When she saw someone coming, Lai's mother also fixed her eyes on her, hurriedly quickened her pace and rushed over, and before she could stand firmly, she ordered the sedan chair to stop, and drove away the four Zhuang women who carried the sedan chair.

"Miss, Jinyiwei...... The brocade-clothed guard Yang who had been to the Hou Mansion before came, and he was wearing civilian clothes. At first, it was said that it was from our Hou Mansion, but the little guy on the door let people in without paying attention for a while! But after he came in, he went straight to Zhang Zhuangtou and lit up the silver medal symbol, Zhang Zhuangtou was startled, he didn't dare to specialize, and hurriedly asked me to come over and report it! How good is this, the fourth young master is too young, and the old lady is sick, and she doesn't even have a man to deal with, if something happens......"

"Panic what!"

Seeing that Lai's mother's voice was getting louder and louder, the four women from the village over there had already looked at her with some curiosity, and Chen Lan immediately stopped her. Thinking of meeting Yang Jinzhou on the road with twenty or thirty people to run errands, and thinking that this Zhuangzi was given by the emperor, and that there was no problem that had anything to do with the long house that she had just taken over, and thinking of Yang Jinzhou's way of doing things, she immediately suppressed the trace of shock that had just been born in her heart, and then admonished: "Since it is secret, does my mother want everyone to know?" It's useless to panic when things come, and be calm, just accompany me. By the way, what about Steward Chen? ”

Lai's mother glanced at Chen Lan's face completely covered by the hood, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Early in the morning, I saw that the door was blocked again, so he went out with two relatives, and no one knew where he went." ”

Upon learning of this, although Chen Lan raised his eyebrows, he did not say a word in the end.

After the tea, a sliding rod landed in front of the tent, and the little guy at the door hurriedly opened his voice and shouted. Chen Lan stood up with the support of Hongluo, and saw Zhang Zhuangtou, who was full of panic, come out to salute, and personally opened the curtain with one hand to invite her in, she nodded slightly, and then took Hongluo and Lai's mother into the door.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Yang Jinzhou standing on the edge of the lampstand. Unlike that day when he was hidden in the shadows on the Yong'an Tower, he was standing in the light at this time, which naturally brought out a bit of toughness and masculinity, but his face was a little unnaturally pale. Seeing that his left hand seemed to be hanging a little soft, and there was only one person behind him, she suddenly had a thought.

Could it be that he didn't do a good job on this errand...... He seems to be injured?

PS: Helplessly, I will announce that I may not be able to double change tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, I have to cross Shanghai from Putuo to the editorial office in Pudong to get something. If the road goes well, it's okay to say, if it doesn't go well, after eight o'clock in the evening, you don't have to wait for the second shift-
