Ten miles of Qinhuai River, 100-year-old Gongyuan, millennium Wuyi Lane.

These are the three most famous places in Nanjing. The painting boat and lantern boat on the Qinhuai River are called **, and the lifters who walked out of the old tribute courtyard heard it in the court, but the Wuyi Lane, which is located on the south bank of the Qinhuai River and once lived in Wang Xie and many other high-ranking nobles, has been few for many years. Although there is still a once-glorious old mansion there, all that remains is the ruins of the building. But the strange thing is that on the bank of the Qinhuai River, where every inch of land is expensive, no one has ever made an idea for more than 100 years.

There are even beggars and beggars and so on during the occupation period, but either the corpses are inexplicably here, or all kinds of weird, so the more the publisher detours.

At the edge of the wall, which had become stubborn, a man jumped in lightly and skillfully. After passing through a half-collapsed gate through the outer courtyard, which was littered with weeds, leaves, masonry, and rubble, the scene changed dramatically. Although the bluestone corridor has been broken a lot, there are not many dead branches and leaves, and there is not even dust. Along the road, you can see old houses that only have half a section or a foundation, and the carved and painted buildings are long gone, not to mention the splendor of the vermilion and gold. The visitor walked in silence for an unknown amount of time, and finally stopped in front of a completely overturned house.

After standing silent for a while, he slowly stepped forward, and when he got to the front, he saw the rotten wood and masonry blocking the way, he casually wiped his waist, and a sword blade suddenly came out like lightning, only one was negligent, and the few that fell on the top fell to the side, revealing a path to the inside. At the end, I saw a mottled plaque lying there. I don't know what the plaque is made of, although it is almost unrecognizable, "but it is still a complete piece, and there is not much damage."

He squatted down to look at the plaque, and his right hand unconsciously stretched out, rubbing the marks on his head little by little" for a long time before he whispered: "Huaiyuan family...... With great ambitions, we will help the world. Sometimes people think too far ahead, and it doesn't do much good. This world is the world of one person, not the world of the world, what the world rises and falls, the husband is responsible, all are liars! ”

"What you left behind, the fleet of ships on the ocean-going sea is still there, but those merchants are all attached to the command of dignitaries, and no amount of money is filled in their private pockets. The academies all over the country are still there, "but most of the scholars who teach only think about the career economy, and the more ambitious ones want to be controlled by them, and the emperor is only worshiped as a god and Buddha." You racked your brains to make countless things, but in the end, they disappeared in the years of intrigue and strife, and even relied on your old departments that were exiled overseas to re-enter the Central Plains.

You hope to be able to enlighten the people's minds, but do you know that there are people in your academies who teach power and scheming, and they are the world that has been in turmoil from generation to generation? And those who want to avenge you are not hesitant to overturn the present situation in which you have invested countless efforts, and kill all those who stand in your way, "not even caring how the people who really benefit will govern this great river and mountain...... Do you regret knowing this? ”

"Knowing this" don't you regret it! ”

He raised his voice suddenly, and the voice reverberated in the ruins of this small hall: "Water moistens the wood, so you Mu Huan sent Lin Changhui to the throne of the Son of Heaven, but you became the stepping stone." Even if your heir resolutely removes the water character after learning about his life experience, "Even once again entered the dynasty and entered the center, after all, some things can no longer be recovered." "When you lose it, you lose your life, and if you don't have the situation, you can't create a hero anymore." Therefore, after all, the Mu family is broken, compared to Lin Changhui's descendants, all you have is me, a descendant who shouldn't know this. ”

Speaking of this, he finally knelt down slowly, kowtowed three times respectfully, and only after getting up did he say lightly: "How many years, no one thought that the master of Longquan Nunnery would come back from the Nine Hells and bury himself in the deep Nine Springs again. It was she who worked hard to find out my life experience, and it was she who collected countless of your handwritings and let me in to watch it to my heart's content, and it was she who stirred up the capital into a bloody storm...... She always said, compared to the people who died in the struggle for power again and again in the past, what are the people who are dying now? Hehe............ The current emperor is definitely not mediocre, but he is still far from the size of Mingjun, but he is still a person who values love and righteousness after all. From this point of view, it is much stronger than Lin Changhui......"

The figure stood there and didn't know how many words it muttered, and finally got out of the ruins, and the figure disappeared lonely at the end of the bluestone road. However, at about the same moment, someone was looking up at the wall behind the ruins, and even pushed a pile of seemingly shambled walls with their hands from time to time. However, when he felt that the seemingly dilapidated brick wall in front of him was not moving, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It's really sturdy, if anyone dares to tell me again, this is a house more than 100 years ago, I have to hit it with a big ear scraper! Phew, this decision has been quietly patched up by someone, what a ghost, what a haunted house, it's all! ”

"Master, this place is so inhibited, let's go......"

Someone didn't pay attention to the timid voice behind him, but just looked thoughtfully through the crack in the brick wall, and only straightened up and clapped his hands for a long time: "It's nothing to look at, let's go...... Don't look like a bear, cheer up, you're Ben Gongzi's number one subordinate. The letter I asked you to send was definitely delivered to me safe and sound, right? ”

When he turned around, the man who had been talking with caution finally came into view. But it is not a thin person who describes cowardice, but a middle-aged man who is dressed in satin clothes and has a hideous scar on the right side of his face, looking quite imposing. It's just that at this time, he listened to the words of the No. 1 subordinate, and while crying and laughing, he nodded helplessly.

"Childe, don't worry, the little one is also the number one person in this Nanjing city......"

"Isn't it just to open the largest casino in the city, and send silver to Pingjiangbo and Nanjing garrisons, and even patrol the imperial history and other important places, so that you can flaunt yourself all the time?" Glancing at the past angrily, "Seeing that he didn't even have the strength to defend himself, King Jing put his hands behind his back and muttered in a low voice, "Fortunately, it's just for you to send a letter" Really do things, whether it is Yang Lang or Xiao Lang, they are very reliable, in addition to them, there is also my ninth aunt's baby daughter......"

…………………………

When he really learned the inside story of King Jing's letter, Chen Lan realized that he knew far from enough about King Jing. This ingenious fourth prince didn't even carry a letter at all. It's three whole letters!

took a letter of her own from Yang Jinzhou's hand, she saw that the seal was not opened at all, so she couldn't help but glance at Yang Jinzhou, but saw that he helplessly spread his hands at himself: "No way, Xiao Shizi's letter is clearly written, everyone will read the letter separately first, and when they have finished reading and discussing, should they exchange and read, and then everyone will discuss it." ”

With this indelible suspicion, Chen Lan opened the envelope, Chen Lan immediately unfolded the letterhead and swept it through the ten lines at a glance, and before he could finish reading it, the hand holding the edge of the letterhead suddenly clenched, and his face showed an unconcealable annoyance. At this moment, she completely agreed with Xiao Lang's words, yes, "This prince is indeed the best at supporting people" and indeed the most capable of tossing people!

Xiao Lang was the first to read the letter in his hand, "Seeing Chen Lan gritting his teeth at this time, he didn't know that it must be King Jing who made some bad moves, and hurriedly asked with concern: "Madam, it doesn't matter, right?" This guy loves to talk nonsense, and if he says the wrong thing, "take him as ...... When he didn't say yes, wait until he meets him and then settle accounts with him! In short, Brother Yang has successfully taken charge of Jiang Duwei, "It's difficult for me here, it's not difficult for him to pretend for a while, it's a shame for him." It doesn't matter if Madame doesn't do what he says. ”

Yang Jinzhou glanced at Xiao Lang with a strange expression, and seeing that he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Shicai's words, he turned his head over his head, trying his best not to let him see his already somewhat unbearable smile. Chen Lan, on the other hand, took a deep breath and casually stuffed the letterhead into his sleeve, and the anger on his face disappeared in an instant.

"It's okay, since it is a matter entrusted by His Royal Highness King Jing, of course I will do my best to help him do it according to his words!"

Gritting his teeth and spitting out this sentence, Chen Lan immediately looked at Xiao Lang and Yang Jinzhou as if they were all right, and said, "My matter should have nothing to do with you, if you discuss business next, why don't I retire first?" ”

"Not really!" The lesson of the weak female stream in the past was in the past, and now Xiao Lang remembered that in the frightened night in the capital, Chen Lan had blocked the master of Longquan Nunnery alone, so he immediately shook his head, "Just like I just said, King Jing is asking me to make a big fuss here, and it is best to let those heads in Nanjing, as well as the mountain chief of Jinling Academy, etc., come to Yangzhou." As for the Yang ghost......"

"After I took charge of Jiang Duwei, I will be ordered every day according to the huā roster, rectify military discipline, and train for a month."

Seeing that Yang Jinzhou and Xiao Lang then discussed, although Chen Lan occasionally interjected a sentence or two, his mind had already completely flown to the letter in his sleeve. If it is the right thing to tell the two men, then what she is asked to do is completely irrelevant to it.

King Jing's fiancée is from Yangzhou, and although she is still practicing etiquette in the palace, her mother's family has naturally never moved her nest in Yangzhou. King Jing, who was in Nanjing City, didn't know where he heard that many people in the Jiangnan realm were trying to get closer to his future father-in-law, thinking that he could bring four maids when the princess passed the door, or looking at the remaining seats, nothing more than hoping to borrow the power of a chicken dog to ascend to heaven. And King Jing earnestly asked her to help solve this big trouble!

That's not all, King Jing also said in the letter that he had already received the news about the assassination of Xiao Lang, the prince of the Hou of Zhendong, and asked her to send his most sincere greetings, and by the way, let her help watch it, so as not to let Xiao Lang continue to run around carelessly.

She's not a nanny!

Of course, after all, this King of Jin still has some positiveness, and the end of the letter revealed a message about the sundial.

Deng Zhong, the book of the Jin Dynasty in Liuya Prefecture, whose hometown is Nanjing, although there are almost no relatives and friends in the family, there is also a cousin who is serving as a teacher in Jinling Academy, it is Deng Ji she has seen in Xiaotaoyuan!

"It is easy to master Jiangduwei, as soon as the emperor came to reorganize Jiangnan, a large number of civil and military talents have been gradually assigned here for more than ten years, although it is not a high position, but it is enough to help me at a critical moment; Second, in addition to the dozens of personal soldiers who came with us on the ship, there are also 100 Tiance Guards who have already passed by, so it is not difficult to hold the 5,000 people of Jiang Duwei in their hands. The important thing is that Nanjing still has Ying Tianwei, the left and right guards of the navy, plus the people and horses scattered in various places, "even if they are not elite, there are forty or fifty thousand together, because they are not elite, they used to be the characters that their fathers did not love and did not love, and the commanders above were all replaced one by one last year, and they are loyal, so they don't know what to do." ”

Xiao Lang listened to Yang Jinzhou say this beside him, and suddenly asked, "Brother Yang, you and that ...... What is the purpose of His Royal Highness King Jing's visit to Jiangnan this time? If the tax customs and tax law "You are a military general, he is a prince, it is better to let the cabinet send a cabinet elder to take command, with that seniority and popularity, there will definitely not be any real problems" Why you? ”

As soon as these words came out, even Chen Lan, who was racking his brains thinking about how to deal with the aftermath of King Jing's guy, suddenly turned his head and glanced at his husband curiously. Just like she has some things that can only be hidden in her heart, Yang Jinzhou will only tell her what she can say, such as the true meaning of going to Jiangnan this time, she only vaguely guesses a few points. Sure enough, "this time" Yang Jinzhou fell silent again, and after a while, he looked at Xiao Lang apologetically and said: "Xiao Shizi, it's not that I don't tell you, but the emperor said that you might as well use your strength for this trip, and it was His Royal Highness who specially instructed in this letter that he should not tell you for the time being, so that you can recuperate well." ”

"It's him again!" Xiao Lang's face changed suddenly, he clenched his fist angrily and slammed the armrest beside him, and then said angrily, "Forget it, I don't care about him!" Since he wants to make things bigger, then I will do what he wants! Last time, Fan Cheng also said that on March 3, he would follow the customs of the Shangsi Festival on the Slender West Lake and hold a lake tour, and in the evening, he would select huākui and invite me to join in the fun, but this time I refused, but this time I ......"

Remembering that King Jing also asked him to control Xiao Lang not to run around with injuries in the letter, but at this moment, this cold-faced Zhendong Hou Shizi gritted his teeth and said that he was going to participate in some kind of lake tour, Chen Lan finally had to interrupt him: "Xiao Shizi, have you forgotten how much commotion it will cause if you come forward as your current identity?" I'm afraid that when the time comes, it's not just huākui ladies, but also those men, maybe they will also flock to it, right? ”

Just now, I thought that it was that guy who made himself build momentum, so he simply gave him a handful, but Chen Lan's reminder was like a slap in the face, and Xiao Lang woke up all of a sudden. thought of the four handsome and handsome four little guys who were still thrown by him in the front yard to do chores that day; As soon as he thought of the aroma of the rich fat powder on the whole body of those actors at the dinner that day, he had an urge to vomit, so he immediately grabbed the purple sand teapot on the side and poured a stomach full of herbal tea.

"Damn, damn it!"

Undoubtedly, due to Xiao Lang's bad mood, this time he did not discuss anything ugly. On the way back with Yang Jinzhou, Chen Lan whispered about Jun'er, and at the end he took out a bag he had just brought with him, and took out the gold medal from it. Yang Jinzhou took it and looked at it carefully, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

"What, there's something wrong with something? Isn't it said that taking out this gold medal is like the emperor coming in person? ”

"It's okay, I know this gold medal." Seeing Chen Lan looking at him dumbfounded, Yang Jinzhou couldn't help laughing, "The kind of gold medal you just said is something that only exists in the drama. It's like this time when the King of Jin patrolled Jiangnan as a Qin mission, didn't the king's guards still protect a car? Inside is engraved with the royal order banner that I have come to in person, and it is guarded by the imperial flag officer, and it is not something that can be used lightly. As for this gold medal symbol...... It is used to transfer troops, and it is different from the Queen's Banner that can only act cheaply, two gold medals are combined, and if the number behind them is the same, it can be used to transfer troops, so in a sense, this thing is more important than the Queen's Banner that is inconvenient to move. ”

Chen Lan remembered that he thought that he would be able to make such a thing majestic, and he was quite embarrassed for a while. Yang Jinzhou, who was on the side, saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but lightly nod on her nose: "You, sometimes you are as smart as a ghost, and there are times when you take it for granted." You have this thing in your collection, and when the time comes, I'll check the number on it, and maybe there will be some clues. Then again, do you think Mr. Nabi took such painstaking efforts, why didn't he come to see us? ”

"The puppet garden is outside the city, he should be in the city. At first, he wanted to figure out what was going on, but now he was trapped in the city and didn't dare to make his head. But now that I'm looking for him everywhere, I've entrusted it to Eshiro again, and it should be a result soon. ”

The couple said as they walked, "When they stepped into the courtyard door, the two of them heard a burst of guzheng music at the same time, and when they stepped into the threshold of the main house, the sound of the guzheng stopped abruptly" and was replaced by a surprise shout: "Great, I think the sound of the first few days is not accurate, thank you, sister, you are so capable!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Lan couldn't help but wonder, and then there was a red tassel laugh from inside: "Just such a little thing, I can do it?" What about Changdysprosium making you a snack just now? ”

"Uh...... Sister Changdi can do it too! Jun'er's voice paused, and then said very simply, "In short, my mother-in-law and aunt are good people, and my sisters are also good people!" ”

This circle of good people card sent down" Chen Lan finally couldn't help but open the curtain and entered the east house, because he said with a smile: "Dare to love our family, in the eyes of Jun'er, you are all good people!" Why, you really practiced calligraphy all afternoon and didn't go to a nap? ”

Seeing Chen Lan coming in, Jun'er immediately turned around and stepped forward, glanced at Yang Jinzhou, and rushed at Chen Lan in a proper manner.

Chen Lan didn't wait for him to bend down to the end, so he held him up, and when he raised his head, he pointed at Yang Jinzhou and said, "This is your uncle." ”

Yang Jinzhou looked at the little guy who was busy saluting him, and only bowed slightly. After all, he is not as casual as Chen Lan can get close to people as casually, seeing her pull the little guy to the side of the soft couch to sit down, and shush the cold and ask for warmth, and smile to bring him fruits and snacks "There are still a lot of intimate actions" He only felt heavy in his heart.

No wonder she cares so much about that, "It turns out that she likes children so much!" gone, even Chen Yan's younger brother, who was only two years younger than her, she treated her like a child......

Looking at the happy and relaxed scene, Yang Jinzhou stood thoughtfully for a while, but quietly turned around and retreated. When he arrived outside the main house, he looked up at the sky, and then strode out of the courtyard gate, until he reached the front yard, and asked people to call Qin Hu over. When the big man came, he bowed his mouth to a chair at the head of him, and then said word by word: "You go and pick a dozen people, and you will go out with me later." ...... like this"

In an instant, it was evening, because the Jiang family was still thinking about Xiao Lang, and before dinner, she deliberately took Chen Lan to visit, seeing that people were obviously not in good spirits, she thought that the prince of Zhendong had not yet figured it out, and pulled people to nag and talk for two quarters of an hour, and those instructions were nothing more than resting, not to move, not to work hard...... It was still Chen Lan who knew what was going on with others, and he interrupted again and again, which finally made Xiao Lang have a clean ear. Just the moment the curtain fell before leaving, she glanced back and still saw the helplessness and chagrin on Xiao Lang's face.

There were still three people at dinner on this day, although there was one more horse, but Yang Jinzhou went out, so when the meal was finished, Jiang couldn't help but sigh: "I thought it was just a short stay in Yangzhou, but now it's busy." Let Brother Quan get busy, I went to Daming Temple today, and tomorrow we will take Jun'er to the city for a walk............"

As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhuang's mother enter the door, still holding a gold post in her hand: "Old lady, madam, this is just delivered to the door, saying that it is Liangfu." Because I hadn't heard of it before, I deliberately asked a few more words, and then I learned that this Liang family is also the future princess Jing's maiden family. Because this is not an ordinary family, I don't dare to make a mistake, so I leave someone to wait for tea in the small huā hall, so I will go back and forth in person, and it is up to the old lady and the lady to see or not to see it. ”

"Princess Jing's maiden family? Take the post and I'll see the post"

Jiang Shi hurriedly took the post, and after reading it with Chen Lan almost head to head, she closed the post with a subtle expression: "It is said that the magnolia huā at home is blooming well, please come over and enjoy it............ But I think it should be that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink, but what he wants to invite should be...... That one, right? If you don't go, you always don't give face, but if you go...... It's not like that. ”

Did that shrewd ghost guy anticipate this?

Chen Lan tried his best to resist the urge to grit his teeth, and said quietly: "What the old lady said is true. In this way, we don't have to meet the mother of the Liang family who sent the post, just ask Aunt Liu to meet her. After all, the marriage of His Royal Highness King Jing was set by the former queen's mother, and Aunt Liu's appearance happened to be cheap. As for the reward the day after tomorrow, please Aunt Liu tell me, saying that she has to recuperate now because of the fatigue all the way, and her mother can't help but be tired, so she needs to rest at home, and I will go alone. ”
