Although Aunt Liu had already explained, Chen Lan thought that he had asked people to send a letter to invite Xiao Lang, but as a result, he overslept and was still tired of others waiting for a long time, so he was naturally quite upset. Hurriedly washed her face, combed her hair, changed her clothes, and immediately rushed to the back of the Jiang family's main house, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard her mother-in-law's hearty laughter.

"Jiangnan has always been fashionable to order dolls, and my brother and I were like this back then, so if you don't have a marriage contract at your age, others will naturally have to make up your mind. This is to say that relatives are all for each other's marriage, whether it is a career or a business or other heads, the two families can borrow from each other, as for whether Xiao and his wife look at each other, but no one cares. You just have a cold face all day long, but since you are the prince of Zhendong, you are the biggest fragrant bait. ”

Seeing that Xiao Lang's face suddenly became darker, Jiang immediately laughed dumbly. Thinking about what kind of name to write a letter to Xiao Lang's mother who was in the capital, she only heard the voice of a girl reporting that her wife was coming, and immediately pressed her mind first. Sure enough, the next moment, Chen Lan took Aunt Liu and Hongluo into the house together.

Maybe it was Xiao who made up for Jing Shen after sleeping, at this time, Chen Lan's cheeks were slightly red, the upper body was embroidered with folded branches, and the bottom was a primrose skirt, which turned out to be even more delicate, and Jiang immediately smiled at the corner of his mouth. Xiao Lang, on the other hand, was slightly taken aback after a quick glance, and then stood up.

"Mother, Xiao Shizi."

"The county lord of Haining."

"It's all my fault, I slept darkly, and when I woke up, it was this hour." , "Xiao Lang said that there is nothing to do, don't alarm you, Suo Xing chatted with me, and I naturally relied on him." Saying this, the Jiang family pulled Chen Lan over and sat down beside him, and looked at it for a while before smiling: "This Qian se is too deep, and the primrose se is too bright, and only at your age can you dare to match them together, and now the whole person looks like a jing." After a good night's sleep, there will be no omissions when discussing things. Okay, if you have anything to do, stay in this east room and say, while it's still early, I'll ask Xing to go to the west room for a while. ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Lan hurriedly grabbed Jiang's arm, and said with a smile: "Mother, it's not a big deal, you just sit and listen to it, if I don't think about it well, you can also help me get ideas!" ”

Almost following closely, Xiao Lang also nodded again and again: "Auntie, the county lord of Haining is right, even if you discuss things, there is no reason to avoid you." Moreover, Brother Yang is not here, and you were also in charge when you were in Xuanfu, after all, you are more far-reaching than us "......", "

"Okay, one of you praises me, the other praises me, fortunately I still know how much weight I have." Jiang patted Chen Lan's hand angrily, but stood up, "I don't understand these external affairs. Instead of listening too much to think about "or giving you Luan ideas, it's better not to listen and don't want to come cheaply." Besides, this is Jiangnan, not the capital, you all have people around you to follow, discussing business under my nose, are you still afraid of people gossiping? ”

This last sentence is a bit of a joke. Chen Lan and her mother-in-law are used to being close, so when she heard this, she stood up and grabbed Jiang's sleeve: "Look at what you said, mother, where are you afraid of people talking to each other?" Xiao Shizi is an aunt to you, but to me is a county lord's "There is no place to pass this gossip!" "You still say him, aren't you yourself a Xiao Shizi? Seeing that Chen Lan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, Jiang immediately smiled embarrassedly, and then turned his head to look at Xiao Lang, "Seeing that he doesn't seem to be used to such jokes," Jun's face was a little embarrassed, and she said: "It's not the first time I've seen you, it's all my own family who often come and go." Xiao Lang, you are about the same age as my brother, and you are only a month away, if you want, you can call me my daughter-in-law sister-in-law. As for Ah Lan, you can directly call Brother Xiao. ”

In Jiang's opinion, this is a very reasonable title, but Chen Lan was dumbfounded. When she heard the sister-in-law on the side who seemed to be suffocating from the depths of her throat, she opened her mouth several times, but after all, she couldn't call out the sound of Brother Xiao, and in the end she had to cover it up: "Xiao Shizi is a few years older than me after all" Or save a younger brother, only call Brother Xiao. ”

The two sides were right, "The Jiang family didn't care about himself, and after a few more words, he went out of the house." When Zhuang's mother and a girl also followed, Chen Lan took a deep breath, and seeing that Xiao Lang still had a little discomfort on his face, she quickly coughed dryly and diverted the topic.

"Stop standing, sit down and talk." Chen Lan stretched out his hand and let go, and he sat down at the west end of the main seat, and then raised his head and said, "I invited you here today because there will be a banquet in the Amjing Garrison Mansion tomorrow."

Today I met someone on the road to complain, but it turned out that someone falsely accused Lord Xu of blackmailing Lord Xu, and this is how it happened......" After explaining clearly, she continued, so after Lord Xu thanked her, she invited my mother and me to a banquet tomorrow, and said that she would invite Uncle Pingjiang at that time. Since he said that there are many people and things are easy to discuss, he is not willing to be calculated, so tomorrow I want to ask you to go out together. Hearing this, Xiao Lang gradually got rid of the embarrassing emotion just now. Due to the very few opportunities to have girls around him, the wives of those subordinates in the army in Nuer Gancheng are also regarded as sisters of his own family, plus there will be no chance to get along alone at all, so he naturally has never been tempted. It's just that after the Jiang family asked him what he planned for his future wife, in the past few days, from the eldest master of the Jiang family to other people, they have tested him again and again, and even when the rich families who were close to the Zhendong Hou Mansion held a banquet, they would deliberately pick a few Mei Ji who served the wine, and he had already accumulated a belly of fire.

If he wants to talk about NV, in addition to his bright and capable mother, the kind and kind Jiang family, he is only impressed by the calm Chen Lan...... He can imagine how those vulgar fans who are huā branches can get by at that level of his mother? And for a mother who has been strong all her life, the daughter-in-law she will like is the type like Chen Lan, who has a thorough cooking in all aspects. Besides, the marriage in this world is the words of the matchmaker at the behest of his parents, and those people are staring at what he does!

At this moment, he took a deep breath and drove those luan's messy reveries out of his mind for the time being, and then said, "Okay, I will definitely go tomorrow." ”

Hearing Xiao Lang's promise, although Chen Lan expected it to be the case in advance, he still showed a happy smile: "I visited Pingjiangbo last time, and he has almost moved for me. Xu Shoubei almost lost his reputation today, and he took the initiative to invite him, so it should be easier for him to stand on our side. In order to make tomorrow's banquet more weighty, I have already asked Steward Zheng of the Hou Mansion in Yangning to invite all the people who are close to the Hou Mansion, so I also want to ask Brother Xiao to bring those people from yours with me. In this way, coupled with the Jiang family, although this team is still far from being able to compete with Jinling Academy, they already have a chance after all. ”

Looking at Chen Lan's bright eyes and confident face, Xiao Lang couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then asked in a deep voice: "After gathering these people, can we find His Royal Highness King Jing and Brother Yang in this way?" Although I have received His Highness's letter, after all, after all such a long time, neither of them has heard from ......."

Chen Lan smiled at the people, and then leaned back next to the back and said: "It is indeed anxious that there is no news, but they have no news, but others frequently make moves, and they are instigating the Jiang family's second and fourth rooms to make trouble, and the creditors are making trouble, and they are setting traps for the Xu family, which is enough to show that others are more anxious than us." The more we are at this time, the more we must take the opportunity to make ourselves stand firmer, so gathering these people is the most important thing! When they can't shake us, we can easily free our hands! ”

"I see." Xiao Lang suddenly realized, but the result of thinking about these things was to nod again and again, "No wonder when I set off from Nu'er Gancheng, my mother said that I had been fighting in the army for too long, so that I didn't understand the world, and now it seems that she is really right." County...... My sister-in-law really knows people's hearts very well, and she can sort out the context clearly. Chen Lan hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't praise me so much, you don't know that I've been thinking too much about it for a while."

"Huh? After all, you are frail, Mr. Bi has only seen it before, even if the stakes are high, don't be so worried. Otherwise, what if, and Mr. Bi is not there, what should it be? Xiao Lang suddenly became nervous, carefully looked at Chen Lan's expression, and then looked up at Aunt Liu who was waiting on the side, "The body of the county lord of Haining should also know if you come to aunt, and you must take care of her, don't make any mistakes!" ”

"Don't worry, the slave can save it!"

Seeing Xiao Lang so solemn, Aunt Liu also answered categorically, Chen Lan had to raise his hand and gently scoop up the sun, secretly thinking that these two people were really too true. She didn't have time to pay attention to the two people's answers, so she coughed lightly and pulled the topic back. Aunt Liu, who was on the side, saw that the two of them discussed in a low voice again, and all aspects were gradually considered, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised slightly.

Speaking of which, this Zhendong Hou Shizi is really similar to his own master......

Xiao Lang stayed and had a home-cooked dinner before saying goodbye and leaving, and sent people away, Chen Lan remembered that Aunt Yun had not returned yet. Waiting left and right, seeing that the moon was rising above the treetops, she couldn't help but want to send someone to Jinling Mansion to inquire about the news, and finally at this time, a word came in from outside to say that Aunt Yun was back.

After rushing outside so late, when Aunt Yun came in, she was naturally tired. But after Chen Lan asked Yun'er to fetch water to serve and wash her face, she put down the towel and hurriedly said today's events, and laughed that Wu Ying, the prefect of Jinling, would also go to the Nanjing Garrison Mansion tomorrow for a banquet, and then took out a post from her arms and presented it.

It was just a seemingly ordinary post, and the cover was only signed with the simple word Qu Yong. Weighing this fluttering thing, Chen Lan gently opened it for a long time, and when she saw the two lines on it clearly, she was stunned for a moment.
