Chapter 181: Sister and brother discuss marriage, and news comes from the palace

For the subordinates of the Yangning Hou Mansion, in just a few months, it is as if they are singing a big drama on the stage, and there have been several sudden changes in the inside and outside. In the mansion alone, there are two old men who lost their titles, three old men who won knighthoods, old ladies who fell ill, third masters who went to Xuanfu as deputy ministers, and three young ladies who were declared into the palace. Whether you are old or young, you can't turn your brain in the face of this series of situations. So, whether they were walking diligently to the third room earlier, or planning to stay in the old lady's boat until dark, they all stopped now, for fear that a side line would mistakenly bury themselves.

And in the past two days, after the three-room family all moved from Cuiliuju to Qingxi Residence on the middle road, the sisters and brothers of the long house, who were originally separated from the Splendid Pavilion and Fangfei Pavilion, actually moved into Cuiliuju to face such a situation, not to mention that Aunt Luo didn't expect this stubble at all in advance, and even Chen Jiu and Mrs. Ma in the second room were also very surprised. Mrs. Ma walked in front of the old lady of the Tatexiang Courtyard, but was relayed by Mama Zheng ** and said that she was very happy.

"Originally, Fangfei Pavilion was naturally good, but at that time, the second master repaired the house of Ziningju and occupied a lot of places, and now it is small to renovate. simply let their sisters and brothers move to Cuiliuju, one is closer, and the third lady is cheap to take care of the old lady. The vacated piece of land in the Fangfei Pavilion was demolished, and the place where Zi Ning lived was even wider. ”

Since it was beneficial to herself, Mrs. Ma ignored so much and happily went back to continue to prepare the dowry. The old lady gave gold and silver materials and so on, but the furniture had to be added, and the industrial shops had to be checked, and she was now eager to have more hands. Coupled with the fact that her body still needs to be recuperated, she has almost no time to take care of other affairs in the house.

And moving into a new place, the happiest person is undoubtedly Chen Yan. He was originally reluctant to move into the place where the third uncle's family lived, but as soon as he heard that his yard was next door to Chen Lan, he immediately turned annoyance into joy. On the night when he moved to a new house, he ran to his sister as soon as he got out of school and made trouble for a while, until he came back from dinner in Tatexiangyuan, Chen Lan asked him for a window textbook to read, and his joy stopped. Fortunately, now Chen Lan doesn't really test his academic progress, just glanced at it and asked a few words before stopping, and then sent the two aunts and girls out.

If it was said that in the past, it was a small ghost who had resentment in his heart, but now that Chen Yan is studying literature and martial arts, his progress is naturally not a little bit of progress. Han Hanlin was very satisfied with his cleverness and energy, and spared no effort; Since the county lord of Yixing came that day, he asked Chen Yan to come to the door the next day, from archery and horses to military training, he taught by word and deed, and the two generals in the house supervised by him. In addition, Chen Yan and Luo Xu were also close, and their ears and eyes were quite beneficial, and at this time, they immediately sat up straight when they saw this posture.

"Sister, do you have anything important to say?"

Chen Lan pondered for a moment, then looked at Chen Yan and said, "Fourth brother, you are now twelve. According to the situation of the children of other famous families in the capital, many of them have already decided to get married. You should remember the first thing, the third uncle originally wanted to give you Cousin Wan'er, but now that he is gone, the old lady quickly cut through the mess and gave the fourth sister to the cousin of the Su family, and your affairs are confused. However, if this matter is not resolved, I am afraid that there will be trouble in the future. ”

Hearing her sister solemnly tell her about marriage, Chen Yan's accident was mentioned. But after sitting dumbfounded and listening, he really had a little joy in his heart. If according to my sister's old style, I would never say this to him, but now I actually say it directly, so does it mean that my sister no longer only treats him as a child, but almost as an adult?

Therefore, he didn't speak rashly, but thought about it carefully, then raised his head and said: "Sister, they all say that their parents are destined to match, and my father and mother are gone, so I naturally listen to you." While the third uncle is not there, it is good to settle down, and save others from making up their minds when they can get it. But after all, I am a white body now, although foreign assistance is very important, but if the family is too high, it is inevitable that people will pick and choose. I only ask for a virtuous and courteous person, sister, you can help me choose. ”

Chen Lan poked Chen Yan's head with his finger angrily, and when he saw him holding his forehead and looking at him, he immediately burst into laughter, "How can I come forward for this kind of thing?" The old lady's condition is improving a lot now, if she can, she will personally look for you, but if it doesn't work, there is also Mother Zheng. As for the county lord, I will also try to ask for it......"

"Yes, yes, yes, only after the old lady and the county lord have picked it, sister, you can help me take a look." Chen Yan salivated and nodded, seeing Chen Lan bend his index finger and middle finger to make a gesture to hit, he hurriedly jumped away and said, "I don't have anything else to think about, but if I really have never seen one side and want to marry into the door, I really feel a little awkward in my heart, I can rest assured when I have my sister to help and see Also, sister, don't patronize me, what about yourself?" ”

Herself......

Thinking of the reminder of the county lord of Yixing and Chen Xi's explicit instructions, Chen Lan suddenly felt both melancholy and helpless. As a human being in two lives, she is always overly rational, and she has never been involved in love. Her heart has always been too tight and deep, and she is rarely open to people. If it was a choice for a woman to be single in that life, she must face such a problem in this life.

Seeing that her sister, who had always been wise and quick-witted, showed a blank expression, Chen Yan's eyes suddenly rolled, and he simply sat next to Chen Lan on the kang, and then lowered his voice and said, "Sister, what do you say Senior Brother Luo?" He has always taken good care of us, and there are many helpers, and he is determined to be tempted by you. He has a good personality and appearance, and the most important thing is that everyone knows ......."

"Fourth brother" Chen Lan saw that Chen Yan seemed to be about to count Luo Xu's advantages one by one with his fingers, and couldn't help crying and laughing, and immediately knocked his head hard, "What are you talking nonsense?"

"What am I talking nonsense? Senior Brother Luo must have that thought" Chen Yan didn't flinch this time, and moved forward a little more and said, "Otherwise, Brother Yang can do it." Don't look at his cold-faced appearance, but he is a warm-hearted person, and this kind of person will take responsibility once he gets married, and he will never spend a lot of time outside like his father and second uncle and third uncle......"

"Okay, okay"

Chen Lan finally couldn't resist a little, and quickly interrupted Chen Yan's gushing words. It's just that Chen Yan's remarks aroused her mind after all. The scenes from the past flashed quickly in her mind, and in the end, she had to take a deep breath, and then looked at Chen Yan angrily.

"Remember, say no more to anyone else"

Relying on the heart-to-heart connection between sister and brother, Chen Yan squinted at Chen Lan's pretended calm expression, knowing in his heart that his words were very effective, and he couldn't help laughing. It's just that when Chen Lan glared at him again, making him remember to pay attention to the girl around him all the time, and when he was restless and beat well, he was dumbfounded, and in the end, he couldn't help blinking bitterly.

"Sister, I'm only twelve years old, with the lessons of my father and second uncle, how could I be so foolish?"

Although Chen Yan directly moved his father and uncle out to talk about the matter, it was really a bit rebellious for people to hear, but Chen Lan knew that the little guy was showing his determination, and he couldn't help but be extremely satisfied in his heart. The sister and brother talked and laughed for a while, seeing that the hour was not early, she had to get up and send people out, just arrived at the gate, she saw the light of the lantern on the side of the hall, and after a while, I saw a little girl carrying a lantern to illuminate Lai's mother, and the two walked from the hall one after the other.

"Third Miss, Fourth Young Master." Lai's mother saluted with a smile, and then said to Chen Lan, "Concubine De in the palace has just sent a letter, but it is because the queen mother is tired and sick, and she has been seriously ill for several days, and she wants to meet the elders in the family, and she has already obtained the emperor's permission." The old lady has been getting better these days, and she is naturally anxious when she hears it, but after all, at this age, it is not good for her to enter the palace alone, so she asked the father-in-law to return to the court, can you bring the third lady with her. Although there is no letter from the palace yet, please prepare it for the third lady. ”

Concubine Zhu Defei is also sick?

Hearing this, Chen Lan was taken aback, and saw that Lai's mother was also a little embarrassed when she said it, so she didn't ask more, but just agreed. When she sent the person away, seeing Chen Yan standing next to her and just silent, she had no choice but to step forward and gently push: "What are you doing standing here, it's not early, go back to your room to rest early." ”

"Sister, you have to be careful." Chen Yan took Chen Lan's hand, his face was a little dark, and his voice was extremely low, "Brother Luo is also in a bad mood these days, I heard that in just ten days, Duchess Weiguo has entered the palace several times. Also, when the queen mother died before, he was very happy to learn that you came out of the palace, and said that it is best not to stay for a long time in the palace where right and wrong are places. ”

Duchess Weiguo entered the palace one after another...... That's about to visit Concubine Luo. Chen Lan gently rubbed Chen Yan's head thoughtfully, and suddenly found that the little guy had risen again in the past few months, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a gratifying smile.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful. You just have to study hard and practice martial arts, and don't think too much about it. ”

The west second room of the main house of Tateka-in.

Zhu, who had already gone to bed, heard Lai's mother tell him about going to see Chen Lan, so he waved his hand lightly and ordered him to retreat. Mother Zheng saw that her face was not good, and with a gesture sent away the green calyx and jade peony, she went to the edge of the bed to tuck the corners of the quilt, and then sat down on the foot in front of the bed, and persuaded in a low voice: "The old lady doesn't have to worry too much, Concubine De has no heirs, and she is the niece of the first queen mother. ”

Zhu sneered without raising his head: "But what if someone releases a rumor, saying that the emperor respects the first queen mother and wants to set up a clan daughter as the successor?" ”

Mother Zheng suddenly opened her mouth wide and was horrified. The Wuling Bozhu family is far from what it used to be, if it is really involved in such a whirlpool, in the end, there will be no scum left
