In front of the weeping flower door, eight sturdy children pushed and pulled four people, parked Zhu's Nanmu Qingyou car steadily, and then stopped with their hands. Immediately after, Mrs. Ma, who had been waiting in front of the door earlier, took her daughters forward, and saw Chen Lan helping Zhu get out of the car, Mrs. Xu was fine, but Mrs. Ma's eyes showed jealousy and dissatisfaction that could not be concealed.

"People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and the old lady's spirit is much better these days." Mrs. Xu complimented, gently supported Zhu's other arm, and then asked with concern, "However, after all, you haven't been out for many days, it's okay to go to the Jin Palace's mansion today, how is everything going to the princess?" ”

"There are so many people following in front of and behind, and it is the Jin Wangfu that goes to it, what's wrong." As Mrs. Xu said, Zhu's spirit was very good, and the smile seemed to unfold the wrinkles on his face, and at this time, he said while walking inside, "The princess is very good, she can eat and sleep, and there is a royal doctor staying in the palace to ask for a pulse at any time, and the emperor and queen have rewarded many precious medicinal materials, and there are countless gold and silver tables." Her mother had also been there several times, and she had also lit the Huguo Temple and lit the lantern for this matter...... In short, there are many people guarding and protecting, and the plan is not hindered. ”

Mrs. Ma listened to jealousy, but glanced at Chen Bing, and saw her daughter holding a handkerchief to make a sound, she hurriedly glanced at her, and then laughed beside her: "What the old lady said is that Princess Jin is a blessed person, and this time she will definitely be able to win a man in one fell swoop." She has good news here, and Mrs. Ping is naturally nothing over there. ”

"There is a difference between the concubines and the concubines, so naturally."

Hearing Zhu's words, Chen Lan lowered his head slightly and hid the subtle expression on his face. Needless to say, the people of the time were strict with the concubine, and even the Taizu failed to reverse it, so she naturally wouldn't say anything about the established rules, but when she went to visit Princess Jin today, the Zhu family deliberately kept her. At that time, she knew that her previous suspicions were correct, and the Zhu family had learned that Princess Jin had a happy event a few days earlier. Not only that, but Princess Jin also said another thing.

That Mrs. Ping had a happy thing, but she made it up to compete for favor! After all, she is close to Concubine Shu, and she is not good at dealing with it rashly, so she has to see the opportunity and then slowly figure it out.

At that moment, seeing that the Zhu family was facing the princess of Jin in front of her, she was followed by the princess of Jin and took her hand, and asked her to take good care of the old lady with a smile, and then gave her a lot of things, she didn't know that the two ancestors and grandchildren could trust themselves only because of their previous performances. However, after all, she had no other choice, so she could only take one step at a time, and it was too early to get off the ship.

The group hugged Zhu and entered the second room of the main landlord of the Tatexiang Courtyard, Zhu felt that there were many people who were depressed, and the rest of the girls naturally retreated, and only the ladies and ladies sat down one by one according to the previous seats. Chen Bing squinted at Chen Lan and sat down beside the old lady, and the handkerchief was suddenly crumpled by her. She was in the middle of her annoyance when her ears suddenly caught something important.

"When I went to the Jin Palace, the princess also asked about the situation of your sisters, and there was a lot of concern between the words. She only has a younger sister in the Korean government, and Miss Huixin may be someone now, according to her age, she will immediately be the four of you. The four of you are just a month apart, and next year one after another will be in time, think about how big you were back then, this time really flies......" After saying some reminiscences, Zhu changed the topic lightly and skillfully, "Seeing that this subject will have results in a while, our marriage with the Su family should almost be decided." ”

If it was ordinary, when it came to lifelong events, the ladies would have to blush and get up to avoid it, but at this moment, everyone was shocked by Zhu's words. It is not that the noble family has never married with civil officials, especially those Jinshi who look at the future is good, and they are often candidates for the fast son-in-law of Chenglong. However, the situation of the Su family, the Chen family, is known to everyone, and the things that have been pressed before are suddenly mentioned again, who would not understand the conspiracy behind it?

Therefore, Mrs. Ma and Sister Chen Bing and Sister Chen Yun all looked at Chen Xi in unison, and their faces all showed ridicule. There is a deep hatred between the Zhu family and Chen Ying, if the marriage of the Su family is not stuffed into the third room, it will be unreasonable. Besides, the old lady is now holding Princess Jin to have a happy thing, it is the time when she has the most right to speak, Chen Ying is not here, Mrs. Xu is none of her business, who can still make decisions for those in the third room?

However, compared to the previous time when he wanted to make a final decision, Zhu only mentioned it casually, and then did not say much about it, but chatted about the invitation of the Weiguo Mansion on March 18, and as she spoke, she looked at Mrs. Xu and said: "Speaking of which, after all, the third child has served under the command of Weiguo for many years, and now that they have both entered the capital, this layer of relationship cannot be completely put aside. ”

Chen Lan sat next to Zhu and never made a sound, seeing that the others were a little stunned by Zhu's hammer and stick, Chen Xi's indifferent face even showed a hint of joy, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly. The old lady didn't want Chen Ying to get too close to the Weiguo Mansion in the past, so she pulled the Chen family on the Luo family's boat, but now she feels that Chen Ying is too difficult to control, and hopes to let others see Chen Ying's side of seeing the wind and steering the rudder, and it is best to make the King of Jin and the Luo family disgusted with him. As for Chen Xi's thoughts, they are not considered at all. This layer of selfishness is not enough for outsiders, and she is only vaguely guessing.

Chen Yun sat underneath, looking at this and that, but finally lowered his head. However, Chen Bing, who was next to her, saw that Chen Xi was happy, and Chen Lan was becoming more and more favored, and finally couldn't hide the deep anger on his face, and suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Old lady, do you remember what day it is?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Ma suddenly woke up, saw that some of the others were stunned, some frowned, and hurriedly laughed and said: "Old lady, Bing'er is so old, I still remember to be coquettish, today is her birthday." It's just a fourteen-year-old birthday, let the kitchen make a few more dishes and bowl longevity noodles, and everyone will be happy. ”

"It's Bing'er's birthday?" Zhu Shi was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought about it before laughing, "These days, one thing after another is following one after another, and I have forgotten all of them." Fourteen years old is not a small birthday, next year will be in time, this year should also be lively, in this way, the guests are too late to invite, tell the kitchen to prepare more good wine and good dishes, and then add some kinds of candied fruits, and then take my post to invite the opera troupe to come, this afternoon to sing an afternoon of drama lively! ”

Chen Bing was originally full of depression, but he didn't expect Zhu to suddenly do this, he was overjoyed, hurriedly stepped forward to thank him, and sat next to Zhu again, holding his arm for a while. When Chen Lan saw her in such a situation, he would not fight, and he knew in his heart that the Zhu family was just happy and happy to take advantage of the good news of Princess Jin.

With Zhu's words, the Yangning Marquis Mansion was naturally busy at three moments. Those who prepare wine and food, those who arrange and clean the garden at the back, and those who go out to invite the troupe...... In short, for a while, the subordinates who had a position were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, and the more idle ones thought that the old lady looked at the second room differently again, and they went to Zining Ju to curry favor. And these are none of Chen Lan's business, Chen Bing and Chen Yun were busy flattering the old lady in the main room of the Tatexiang Courtyard, she simply didn't join in the fun in front of her, and after eating, she just stole half a day of leisure, taking advantage of the lunch break before the troupe reached this point to read a book on her own one-acre and three-point land, and from time to time glanced at Yu Shao and Rui Xue tinkering with the plum blossom balm on the incense plate.

"Miss, the Korean government sent Zhao's mother to say that the second lady sent you something!"

As soon as he heard Su Mu say this, Chen Lan hurriedly raised his head. With the sound of talking outside the door, Pepper quickly opened the curtain, and saw Mama Wu, who was with Mrs. Xu, leading Mama Zhao in. After the two saluted, Chen Lan hurriedly returned the salute, and then ordered Su Mu to move Jindun and invite them to sit. Mother Wu said two words, and got up early to say goodbye because of something, and after Zhao's mother greeted her, she said with a smile: "The matter that the third lady asked our young lady to inquire about has already been settled. ”

Chen Lan already knew such a thing, Zhang Huixin would definitely not hide it from the county lord of Yixing, so today, Zhao's mother came to talk about it, and she said gratefully: "It is really inconvenient for me to inquire about the affairs of these eunuchs in the capital, and I may not be able to have a quasi-letter, but I am really partial to the county lord and Sister Huixin." ”

"The third lady is polite, my county lord said that this big thing of a child's apprenticeship and reading is indeed not to be neglected, and the third lady can think about it, which shows the heart of caring for the younger brother."

Mother Zhao praised the original words of the county lord of Yixing, and then said, "Although Han Hanlin is not famous now, he is also a strange person. In his early twenties, he was a member of the flower and the first, and then he was directly granted the editing, after the expiration of the period, he was in the six science corridors, and then only for some reason he hated the former first assistant Lu Ge Lao, so he was let go of the foreign office, all the way from the prefect of Zhizhou to the right of the political secretary of Huguangbu, because he was a northerner, not accustomed to the dampness of the south, and fell into a lot of problems, after many years he was transferred back to Beijing to be assigned, but it was in Beijing, and the teacher who was originally going to enable him was degraded, and then he stumbled down, and mixed up with the Guozi prison in Guanglu Temple for a while, A year ago, I suddenly handed over the excerpt due to illness. ”

has been a Beijing official, a foreign official, a time when the scenery is prosperous, and an experience of being unambitious, Luo Xu recommended Chen Yan to be such a candidate! Chen Lan knew that the news that the main player of Yixing County heard must be reliable, thought about it in his heart for a while, secretly made up his mind, and thanked Zhao's mother for a while, and kept people to drink tea and eat fruits. After sitting for a while, she was about to send someone out, when the red snail came into the house with a curtain.

"Miss, the troupe has come, the old lady has already gotten up in a sedan chair and gone to the garden to prepare to watch the play, I heard that the Korean government sent Zhao's mother to come, saying that it is better to invite over to talk about it. Even the third master sent a letter, saying that he would come home in a while. ”
