Although Yang Jinzhou is a military attaché, after all, he once studied under Du Weifang, and he also collects books when he has nothing to do. Coupled with Chen Lan's "good habits", there are four full boxes of books brought back from Jiangnan this time, and now in the Hanhai Zhai of this Mirror Garden, in the west room, the two rooms outside there are occupied by large bookshelves that stand on the top of the sky, and people have a feeling of being in a collection of books. In contrast, there are many fewer books in the East House, but there are many ondols in other rooms, and a brazier has just burned on this cold day, which naturally looks quite cold.

Chen Lan's body is not as good as before, and he has been holding a hand stove since he was on the road. At this moment, seeing Chen Yan looking at Xiao Lang and Xiao Lang looking at Chen Yan, neither of them answered, she couldn't help coughing lightly: "Fourth brother, you speak first." ”

"Oh......" Chen Yan glanced at Xiao Lang and said dejectedly, "Didn't my sister borrow Chu Ping and the four of them?" I went back to the Hou Mansion from Mr. Han in the afternoon, but Chongwen and the tax supervisor Hu Pang beat someone over, and said to me What did I see Chu Ping is staring at the person Hu Pang happened to recognize, living in Dengshikou Hutong. As soon as my heart moved, I chased after me with a word of words, but I didn't find the main owner, so I fought with Xiao Shi......"

originally thought that the so-called conflict was just Xiao Lang's joke, but when he heard that the two were actually fighting, Chen Lan couldn't help but be taken aback. She pulled Chen Yan over and looked up and down, and saw that there was indeed an imperceptible dark blue at the corner of his eyebrows, and immediately turned her head to look at Xiao Lang carefully, and now Xiao Lang's chin seemed to be a little red. She was so angry and funny in her heart that she didn't bother to ask Chen Yan, and asked Xiao Lang directly, "What's going on?" ”

"Not much." Xiao Lang's cold face showed a wry smile, "That place is a secret outpost of the Zhendong Hou Mansion in the capital, which is in charge of news exchanges everywhere...... Of course, there is no light to be seen. ”

This was originally a secret that could never be told to outsiders, but Xiao Lang said it very calmly. Seeing that Chen Lan was really paying close attention to the latter sentence he emphasized, he said lightly: "Therefore, I also went over alone today, without an entourage, and the hat was pressed low. Sigong and I were dressed as if they were like each other, so as soon as the two bumped into each other, they were wary of each other, and after a few tricks that didn't fit together, I was more experienced after all, and I took off his hood, which recognized people. ”

Chen Lan understood where the dark green at the corner of Chen Yan's eyebrows came from, and he glared at his younger brother with disgust. As a result, Chen Yan immediately called out to hit the sky: "Sister, you can't blame me for this!" He didn't go away, and after running into my small alley, he was familiar with the way to climb over the wall, how did I know that he was Xiao Shi...... As a result, he took off my hat and when I was stunned, I gave him a punch......"

The reason for this matter was easily explained, and Chen Lan's nervousness gradually faded, and was replaced by a smile. It's just that she finally remembered the real key, and immediately asked Xiao Lang: "Then you want to tell everything about it?" ”

"He originally refused to say it, but I still carried your sister-in-law out, and he reluctantly told the truth." Xiao Lang glanced at Chen Yan, who was full of awkwardness, and the trace of his face disappeared without a trace, "I didn't dare to slack off, so I took him in, and after questioning, there is a person whose whereabouts are unknown, except for the person who has something to do." Although I don't know if it's the one Sigong is looking for, this person is the one brought in by my second brother, and he has little seniority in it. ”

"This kind of guy is mixed in such a critical place, Xiao Shi, you are really careless enough!"

Chen Yan was still worried about the defeat and loss in a few face-to-face today, and it was also because others were stunned that he was stunned by others, so he naturally felt a little painless in his heart, so he muttered angrily at this time. When Xiao Lang heard this, he was silent for a moment and nodded, saying, "Sigong is right, I was careless." Mother's illness is the root of the disease because the slave is too cold, and the past two or three years have also been sick and good, I don't dare to let her work hard, plus the second brother is getting older, so some things are inevitably given to him. Although it is not visible, it is also known to the center of the palace, and I thought that there would be no big mistakes, who knows......"

"It turned out to be Brother Ling'......" Chen Yan muttered again, but remembering that even Xiao Lang's younger brother should be several years older than himself, his face suddenly became delicate, and he frowned after squinting his eyes and said, "Xiao Shi, with all due respect, the second guild will not be bewitched and want to fight with you for ......."

"Xiao Si, stop talking, don't talk nonsense!"

Chen Lan saw that Xiao Lang's face suddenly became ugly, and immediately stopped Chen Yan in one gulp. Seeing that the little guy immediately shut up, but sitting there, her eyes were still rolling, she didn't know that Chen Yan, who had been staying in the Yangning Marquis Mansion for many years, was used to thinking in this direction whenever he encountered a problem. She thought about it for a while, and saw Aunt Yun and Aunt Liu standing beside her with her hands down, she remembered that this series of things was born in Yangning, when Hou Chen Ying returned, and the Hou Mansion was about to be separated, the more she felt that her previous guess was somewhat accurate.

"Xiao Shi, do you still have any dealings with His Royal Highness now?"

This abrupt sentence made Xiao Lang stunned. Immediately after, his face stiffened, and he said dryly: "Before the canonization, he often sent some seasonal fruits and snacks during the New Year's holidays, as well as supplements for his mother. As for the queen of his sealing, because the avant-garde young army of the government army is to protect the East Palace, I went twice, and he said some nonsense, that's all. ”

Chen Yan hadn't fought much with Xiao Lang before, and when he came all the way before, it was difficult for the other party to answer ten questions, but seeing that Xiao Lang answered so well at this moment, he almost wondered if the person in front of him had changed to another. It's just that when Xiao Lang finished speaking, he remembered all kinds of rumors outside in the past two years, and his face became strange again.

Although King Jing accepted a concubine back then, and now he has become the East Palace Prince, the rumors of the past have not been completely suppressed. Especially about the relationship between Hou Shi and Tai in Zhendong, it is a topic that many people talk about. What's more, it is too close to each other, but Xiao Lang, the Hou Shi of the east of this town, has not yet decided on a marriage for twenty-two!

"So, most people will think of you as too close a cronie?"

Chen Lan didn't have time to pay attention to Chen Yan's expression, and asked with a slight sink. Seeing that Xiao Lang nodded helplessly and replied, she said thoughtfully: "Although Xiao Si deliberately made a trip to Dengshikou Hutong today, he didn't know the real reason. The cause of the incident was that I lost a golden hairpin, although it was a small thing, but because it was given by the late Princess Jin, and it was a palace thing, it should be kept. Although she caught the person who stole the things, she first admitted it, saying that the golden hairpin had been melted by the gold and silver shop, and the money was exchanged, but then it was found to be suspicious, so I sent someone to send her to Tongzhou Anyuan, but she was hit by the rear car and overturned on the way. Chu Ping: The person they went to follow should be the person in the back car. ”

Xiao Lang was still frowning, but Chen Yan jumped up: "Sister, why didn't you tell me when you borrowed someone?" ”

"The murder case in the Hou Mansion hasn't been solved yet, so why bother to let you have another matter?" Seeing that Chen Yan opened his mouth to argue, Chen Lan waved his hand to stop him, "Besides, I made preparations in advance, and when the car overturned, I said that I was seriously injured, but in fact, the person was not inside." ”

"Huh?" Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, this reaction came to his senses, and when he sat down, he turned his head to stare at Xiao Lang, frowned and said, "Wait, and then Hu Pang said that he knew the person who was targeted by Chu Ping, but I fought with Xiao Shida in Dengshikou Hutong, so that others were planning to frame the matter in the Zhendong Hou Mansion?" What are you doing all these things with all this fanfare, is it to drive a wedge between us? But that doesn't make sense......"

The more Chen Yan spoke, the more crazy he felt, and it could be seen that Xiao Lang was sitting there motionless as if frozen, and he suddenly became angry: "Hey, Xiao Shi, this matter is also closely related to you, don't just be stunned!" ”

"My sister-in-law said this just now, which means that your golden hairpin may not have been melted, but was quietly hidden, ready to be thrown out at what time? And went around and found the Zhendong Hou Mansion, that is to say, even if the matter is exposed, it can be said that the Zhendong Hou Mansion or too much did such a small action, and even did not hesitate to kill that girl for this reason? ”

Seeing Chen Lan nodded, Xiao Lang's eyes suddenly brightened: "If this is the case, the second brother has been calculated a long time ago." He liked history in his early years, and he met a lot of literati when he studied in the state prison, and he wanted to raise some pedantic scholarly anger. ”

"To put it that way, Xiao Ergong is really roundabout!" Chen Yan seized the opportunity to laugh twice, and said with a smile, "I haven't encountered this kind of hero opportunity to save beauty in the past two years, but I won't be fooled like this!" What lonely NV repays gratitude, what knots grass rings, what sacrifices one's life to repay...... Wait, lay down your life ......"

Chen Yan paused as he spoke, racked his brains and thought for a while, he suddenly stood up: "Damn, won't you?" ”

He didn't have time to care about his sudden foul words that made Chen Lan look sideways, so he walked to Chen Lan's side and whispered: "Sister, the old lady has already subdued the third uncle, and set a split on November 20, that is, the day after tomorrow, and invited many VIPs." As for the matter of the red eaves, I arranged for Zheng's mother to go to Shuntian Mansion to report, and it was temporarily determined that she committed suicide, and the body was sent over, but the burial was not always so. If the VIPs gathered on that day, some people would say that the third uncle bī died......"

Chen Lan looked at Chen Yan, whose eyes were unblinking, and nodded lightly: "Then when the matter gets bigger, track it down all the way, and then find out where my golden hairpin ......"

Xiao Lang on the side heard it clearly, and his sword eyebrows suddenly raised slightly. The three of them glanced at each other, and the expressions on their faces became extremely solemn at the same time
