Chapter 248: Recklessness
Chen Lan had just been to the Jin Palace, and the Jin princess had mentioned that the Jin King had already planned to serve it this time, so at the moment, she had the intention of coming to the Han Mansion to give gifts, Luo Xu revealed such a big news with one mouth, she was not too surprised, but she really didn't expect this thing to come so unprovoked.
"Thank you Luo Shizi for reminding me." Chen Lan thanked him, and did not beat around the bush, and said that Chen Ying came back in a hurry last night, because he knew about Chen Xi's marriage, and he made a lot of trouble at home, and then said apologetically, "Although the fifth sister gritted her teeth, he still knew from Aunt Luo that Xiangyang Uncle was your idea, and I am afraid that it will be unfavorable." Therefore, I went to the Jin Palace, and I have already asked the Jin princess to lobby the concubine, so that the marriage can be decided. This is all my own idea, and I'm afraid I'm going to cause you trouble. β
Luo Xu raised his eyebrows, and then said indifferently: "The important thing is that Luo Shuren and her cousin have entered the palace and have done the work, and the concubine has come to her senses." Otherwise, this counterattack by His Royal Highness King Jin this time, I am afraid that the Luo family will also be involved. Just let him know about it, and it's not a big deal. Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and couldn't help but whisper, "It's you who have worked hard for this matter, and I should be the one who should say thank you." Moreover, the fifth sister is really lucky to have a sister like you. β
"It's just a heart-to-heart comparison, and she asked me to thank you."
"Thank you for what I did...... My cousin is the most vindictive, and if you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have thought of it. Luo Xu spread his hands self-deprecatingly, then looked at Chen Lan and said, "This level can be passed safely, and the concubine can come to her senses, thanks to you for coming up with the idea to move Aunt Luo, and thanks to Brother Yang for saving Father-in-law Xia." I know you're going to say that I've helped you a lot in the past, so I'm not going to say any thanks, we'll all be the same in the future, wouldn't it be cumbersome to thank you all day long? People live for a lifetime, it is difficult to find mentors and friends, and I am all complete, this is not my Luo Xu's blessing? β
"Boasting behind people, I heard it partially, Ji Xi, you are indeed a blessing."
With this laughter, Han Mingyi had already entered the door with Chen Yan. Without waiting for Luo Xu to speak, Han Mingyi waved his hand angrily and said, "Okay, okay, don't stay with me for long, go back early, save yourself from going back Du Ge came to question me about how to teach the students in an old manner, you are not the free body you used to be." β
"Sir, can't you change your rhetoric when you drive people away?" Luo Xu smiled helplessly, immediately called Chen Yan over and whispered a few words, straightened his waist and arched his hand to Han Mingyi and Chen Lan freely, "In this case, I will leave first, and I will have the opportunity to taste my master's good food again." Third Miss, cherish. β
"Luo Shizi walks slowly."
When the people left, Han Mingyi smiled and asked Chen Yan to hand over a few books in his hand to Chen Lan, and after a few words, he quipped: "Although I also hate those stepping stones in the imperial examination, if Xiao Siyi only reads these, I am determined to teach a few lessons, and only replace it with you, then it doesn't matter, after all, in order to broaden my horizons, these books are the best." This is something that Xiao Si has never found, from the early years of the dynasty to the previous years, all of them have never been paid, you go back and look at it slowly. There is also a book written by about a fan, all of them are vermilion ghost drawings, I don't understand, or a student in the early years deposited it with me, Hou Mansion in the Siyi Pavilion is better than me, so I lent it to you. β
Chen Lan was grateful for this kindness, but Han Mingyi mentioned some vermilion ghost drawings, which reminded her memory, so she simply took the opportunity to flip through it, and sure enough, she turned to a book full of shocking red letters. She was already extremely familiar with the handwriting, and she only glanced at it and knew that this must be the note left by Taizu again, so after closing it, she owed it and said: "Mr. Han smiled, I really don't know how to thank you for this little habit that is not elegant." β
"If you don't know, you don't have to thank you, I also have to thank you for teaching Xiaosi well." Han Mingyi said while looking at Chen Yan, who was sitting in a proper manner, and said with a smile, "When he first came to me, the sister on the left said it, the sister on the right taught it, and there was a Ji Xi together, which made me and Neiko itch, and today I finally met the real person."
This meal was naturally enjoyed by the guests and hosts, although it was all home-cooked food, Chen Lan only felt that eating warmed his stomach and heart, and at the end of the meal, he couldn't help but add a small half bowl, which made Mrs. Han Liu even more happy. It wasn't until she saw that it was almost time for the night fast, that she and Chen Yan got up together to say goodbye, and before leaving, they invited them to come to the house as guests.
I don't know if it's because it's late or because he has other thoughts, Chen Yan didn't ride a horse, and got into Chen Lan's car directly. With the bump of the car, he suddenly said to Chen Lan mysteriously: "Sister, today my senior brother sent a jar of black glutinous rice wine to Mr., I asked casually, and he smiled and said to me that this winemaking recipe was brought by a girl from Miaojiang." Although he didn't say any more, I always felt that he seemed to be very curious......"
Chen Lan saw Chen Yan's smiling appearance, where did she not know that the little guy hoped that Luo Xu would be able to solve lifelong matters as soon as possible, but even if he was as reckless as Luo Xu, where could he really influence the marriage, so she didn't answer the conversation, but silently prayed in her heart - she had already got a future that far exceeded her expectations, and hoped that Luo Xu could also marry a wife who knew her heart.
My sister didn't answer, Chen Yan was a little disappointed, so she had nothing to say: "By the way, Senior Brother Luo also said that the shop that sells wine seems to be close to the back street of Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei once came to the door to look for trouble, and it seems that he plans to eat the shop and expand the yamen. Senior Brother Luo also went to investigate, but found out a secret story. It is said that at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was no Jinyi Guard, and now the Jinyi Guard Yamen was a metropolitan governor's mansion at that time, and later the metropolitan governor committed an accident, and the metropolitan governor's mansion above the five armies was withdrawn. β
Luo Xu hadn't mentioned these things at all just now, and Chen Lan guessed that Luo Xu should have felt that these were secrets that had been silent in history for many years, so he told Chen Yan as an interesting anecdote. However, Chen Yan was looking for something to say, but she had a different taste when she listened to it, and unconsciously, she reached out and slowly untied the wrapping of the books she had just wrapped, rubbing the books, but after all, she still didn't take out the book that should be Taizu's imperial pen.
The siblings' sedan almost drove into the west corner gate of the Hou Mansion with the sound of the gong of the night ban. After stopping at the second gate, Chen Lan learned from a smiling mother-in-law that the third uncle Chen Ying had returned, and after greeting the old lady in the evening, he returned to Qingxi Residence. She didn't want to meet Chen Ying either, so she was relieved at this time, and took Chen Yan to the Lixiang Courtyard to see the Zhu family, so she sent Chen Yan back first, and then told the story of seeing Princess Jin in the palace and the original request, and finally mentioned the news of Luo Xu.
"King Jin wants to clean up those two, I also knew just now, Amitabha, they deserve this" Zhu snorted coldly, and then looked at Chen Lan lovingly and nodded, "You were right, when King Jin finally has an enlightenment, we don't have to rush ahead to do anything to fight back, but the matter of the five girls can be solved by the way, you are really clever this time, if your third uncle knows, I'm afraid it's not half angry, but completely angry."
"I just think that as long as Concubine Shuniang and His Royal Highness King Jin wake up, I'm afraid that the matter of Xuanfu will also be turned out, even so, it is natural to be afraid of the third uncle. In addition, there is also a concubine Niangniang, this matter should be decided. Chen Lan said and added in his heart, Chen Xi's temperament, the simpler the family in the future, the more likely she is to be happy, after getting married, can Chen Ying, the father, still force his daughter to remarry, or force the quiet son-in-law to fight for power?
Zhu also smiled: "After this matter is decided, I can live a comfortable life for two days." His three most important sons and daughters are all settled at this time. What makes me happiest is that I didn't need Concubine De to come forward. β
At the beginning of the year, Chen Lan returned to Cuiliuju. At this time on weekdays, she often does needlework for a while, and then prepares to turn off the lights and go to bed, but at this time she finally has time to read well, so she ordered Hongluo and Qin Fang to wait, sent the other girls to sleep, and turned on the lamp again. Together with Hongluo Qinfang, she was sent to the west room to do needlework, and she sat down on the kang in the east room, turned on the book by the two lamps on the kang table, and read it word by word.
At first, she was a little nervous, but gradually, the content on it made her sink in. Compared with the few books I read in the Yichun Pavilion in Xiyuan, this diary was probably not written by Taizu Lin Changhui in his later years, but more just a diary, which recorded Lin Changhui's various moods and recorded more things about Chu Guogong. From here, she knew the name of the Duke of Chu for the first time.
Mu Huan...... Another colleague who has been lost in history is called Mu Huan.
Mu Huan said that if the country is rich and the people are weak, it will be in vain, and at this turning point, the first task is to let the people read and break words, and get rid of ignorance. Starting in Jiangnan, he opened one academy after another, modeled after the four major academies of the Song Dynasty, and insisted that the involvement of the government would make these academies bureaucratic and bloated. Forget it, I used to be a petty officer, and I don't fight with him as a professor......"
"Mu Huan came to me again, and he scolded me for closing the imperial examination because I was choking...... But Lao Tzu used to hate those experts and professors pointing fingers, not to mention that now these saint protΓ©gΓ©s who are all the best, looking at them Lao Tzu wants to vomit, for Mu Huan's sake, give these people a little sweetness, hmm, I remember that Zhu Yuanzhang also recommended ......"
"Mu Huan, this guy just doesn't believe in evil, what is he doing to provoke Zhenniang, even if this monarch and minister is made for outsiders, he has to do it decently, right? Zhenniang is too, why didn't she see her temper so big before, fortunately, Kunning Palace didn't have a rolling pin, otherwise when she drove people away, she might throw out the rolling pin that had been used for more than ten years...... Although she is now the queen, after so many years of holding the rolling pin and sword, her hands can no longer change the ten-fingered slenderness of the past...... "V
