Chapter Twenty-Eight: Missing

It turned out to be the King of Jin and the prince of Weiguo, as well as the Jinyi guard who had come to the house before!

When Chen Lan heard these words clearly, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then he calmed down. Seeing Hongluo and Qin Fang hurriedly out of the house, she knew that Su Mu Pepper came with those family members at this moment, and she would definitely be blocked out of the house, so she couldn't help frowning, and immediately felt someone pull her sleeve.

"Sister, since there is a word over there, should we go? Counting it up, King Jin is also our cousin-in-law. ”

"Cousin-in-law? Don't forget, that day was when Princess Jin returned to the door after getting married, and the Korean Mansion also opened the middle door to bow down to greet her, not to mention our relatives who were one floor apart. Xu Jiali is naturally a cousin-in-law, but Xu Guoli is different from monarchs and ministers. ”

Thinking of Chen Bing's shouting at his cousin-in-law that time, Zhu's discoloration and those reprimands, Chen Lan couldn't help but sneer in his heart. You must know that the pioneer Yangning Marquis Chen Yongji has countless concubines, but only one concubine married into the Korean Mansion, so there is a princess of Jin. But what about the concubines in the Hou Mansion? If you marry well, you can promise those noble concubines who have no interest, and you can barely make people call them Mrs. Grandma. The one who marries badly is only hereditary to the ancestral military position, but he can only mix with a small officer who is idle, and even has to go into debt to get by.

Those marriages were all decided by the Zhu family, and Chen Yong, the Marquis of Yangning, who was the forefront, did not ask at all. Therefore, don't look at the fact that the Zhu family loves her granddaughter and is famous far and wide, compared to Princess Jin, who is the granddaughter of her relatives, she doesn't know if she is far away.

Seeing that Chen Yan was stunned and silent, she thought for a moment and then asked Qin Fang Hongluo, "When that father-in-law came to deliver the word just now, did you see, how many people came here with King Jin?" Have you ever made outsiders avoid it? ”

"In addition to Master Zhiyong, there are many people, among them, there are Xu Youwei Gongzi and that Yang Commander, and there seem to be a few Confucian scholars such as Qingke staff, I just heard them say that they want to enjoy flowers and poems, and other guards are guarding outside."

Entering the countryside and following the customs, Chen Lan knows that these years are the most strict for women, and the slightest mistake is a catastrophe, not to mention that she and Chen Yan are helpless in the Hou Mansion now, and they can't make mistakes easily. Besides, nine times out of ten, today's events were designed by others, and she had to have an extra heart. At this time, she heard that the king of Jin outside had brought in all the Qingke and others, so she immediately made a decision. Turning to look at Chen Yan, she said, "Fourth brother, you will go over alone." ”

Chen Yan was taken aback, and his face was dazed: "Sister, aren't you going?" ”

"There is a difference between men and women, if I go with you, the prince of Weiguo and the others will avoid it together, if they don't avoid it, spread it, and say gossip. All you have to say is that I was supposed to meet each other, but I couldn't support it just now, and I was already lying down. Remember, when you come to them, whether it is His Royal Highness the King of Jin, or the prince of Weiguo, or the commander of Yang, you don't need to deliberately show anything, just take out what you usually do in the academy. ”

"But if I behave better, maybe ......"

Knowing that Chen Yanxing was only thinking about the title of Marquis of Yangning, Chen Lan couldn't help but wonder if the dilemma of the death of his parents since he was a child forced this little guy to this role, or whether she often instilled this in the past. But at this moment, she could only reach out and press on the already strong shoulder, and her face was more solemn than before.

"Keep your mind right! You have to remember, one glory and one loss, what is the title of the Marquis of Yangning, it is decided by the imperial court, it is decided by the emperor, you are 11 million efforts, and you can't resist that sentence of Tianxian! What did I tell you about last time? Don't gloat, don't think that this is an opportunity, you have to remember that this is a big crisis for the Chen family, and it is not clear what things will do. King Jin and they are all older than you, you can't fight them if you are scheming, why not be honest in front of them? Even if they ask, don't say that your second uncle is not, after all, it is your elder......"

She didn't care if Chen Yan remembered so much, she just vigorously instilled all the truths she could think of right now. If only King Jin came this time, Chen Yan's performance would not matter if his performance was slightly worse, but there was still the prince of Weiguo and Yang Jinzhou of the Jinyi Guard, God knows if Chen Yan's every word would be broken and pondered.

Fortunately, Chen Yan still understands the general situation after all, although Chen Lan said something incoherently in a hurry, he still understood it. Seeing Chen Lan's extremely solemn expression, he finally nodded and said, "I know, I'll go alone." ”

Chen Lan wanted to pick another girl to follow, but looking at Qin Fang and Yun'er who were full of fear, and then looking at the red snail biting her lip, she finally dismissed the idea. Those nobles have never treated slaves and maids as people, in case they take a fancy to the girl and ask for someone on the spot, where will she find a reason to refuse? So, seeing Chen Yan tidy up her clothes and walk out of the door, she took a deep breath and ordered the three girls to serve her and lie down.

The three girls had their own thoughts in the past, especially Yun'er, who always liked to talk to people when she had nothing to do, but she was silent at this time, let alone the taciturn Qin Fang. And Hongluo covered Chen Lan with a thin blanket, and when he saw that she was leaning there just dumbfounded, he whispered comfortingly: "Miss, don't worry, the fourth young master will definitely follow your orders, and nothing will happen." ”

"It's nothing today, but tomorrow?"

Chen Lan replied lightly, and when she saw that Hongluo was stunned, she didn't speak again.

The room is lit with sandalwood, and although the furnishings are simple, they are extremely comfortable, and there is even a ground dragon underneath. At this time, Chen Lan was reclining on the bed, wearing only a close-fitting jacket and covering a thin blanket, but he didn't feel cold at all, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Today in the temple around the worship of the Buddha, she was already tired, but then sleepy, before bumping into such two groups of people of unknown meaning, where did she dare to close her eyes, can only barely crooked there thinking about things.

It's too difficult to struggle to survive in such a strange era, and I really don't know how the Taizu of this dynasty raised his arms and gathered so many echoes...... And such a person who founded a dynasty, since he took great pains to leave such a text, it is enough to prove that his old age was not pleasant, but it is a pity that there are very few books about that period...... And she, what should she do now?

Thinking about it, her eyes gradually closed. In a daze, she suddenly heard a knock on the door outside, and she was about to sit up, but she heard two unusual words coming from the door, so she hurriedly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. Sure enough, after only a moment, she heard footsteps approaching, and finally stopped in front of the bed. Just when she thought someone would open the tent, she heard the low voice of the red snail again.

"Father-in-law, my young lady is indeed asleep."

"Yo, it looks like I'm really asleep. cough, it's all my Royal Highness who is not at ease, so you must send me to take a look. Thinking about it, I only hurt my body a few years ago, and now I came out to worship in the cold weather, and it's not surprising that I can't support it now. If you tell your young lady, just say that the fourth young master behaves well, His Royal Highness appreciates it very much, and the prince of Weiguo also invited the fourth young master to his house as a guest. It's just that if your young lady really thinks about her brother, she has to pay more attention to herself, but it's a pity that she has such a good opportunity today......"

The muttering voice gradually became quieter, and then the footsteps gradually faded away, and Chen Lan, who was lying on the bed, only felt that his heart was gradually sinking. At this moment, she has already determined that it is not a coincidence that King Jin and his entourage came here today, and this eunuch came here to check, and it was not a simple to see, those words were only afraid of coming at her, but she didn't know if there was a hint of Princess Jin in the words of this eunuch, or the meaning of the King of Jin.

Chen Lan unconsciously clenched his fists, then took a deep breath, and then opened his eyes. The situation between her and Chen Yan is indeed difficult, and the bargaining chips she can use are indeed very few, but this does not mean that she will let others arrange her life. Accept her fate without doing anything, she has never been such a person!

"Miss, Miss!"

The whispering from outside suddenly reached her ears, and she made up her mind to agree, and then the tent opened a crack, and it was Yun'er who poked into her head. She stuck out her tongue slightly, and then whispered: "Sister Qinfang sent people out, and that father-in-law spoke in a weird manner, listening to the cold ...... Miss rest assured, he didn't open the tent. ”

Chen Lan nodded tiredly, and when he learned that Chen Yan hadn't come back yet, he was even more anxious. Seeing that Yun'er hung up the tent with her hands and feet, helped her up to sit half-sitting, and then went to pour water and send it, she asked in a low voice: "Yun'er, do you know how many children King Jin has now?" ”

Yun'er glanced back, and saw that there were no outsiders, so she sat closer, leaned up and whispered: "The king of Jin has only one son and two daughters. In the past few years, Princess Jin has been praying to God and worshipping Buddha, and there are dozens of prescriptions for the old lady alone, but there is no movement. It is said that she is very generous, and there are four girls who marry His Royal Highness the King of Jin, including Zhenlong who just went to the palace, and the rest of the girls who have open faces are also very many, only the real ones are only the two who canonized the lady and brought them into the palace a year ago, and the rest are just concubines......"

"It's strange to say, His Royal Highness is in good health, and the princess is said to have practiced martial arts when she was a child, and she also has a good foundation, but she has a daughter now. Fortunately, the status of the eldest son and biological mother of the palace is too low, and she is still raised in front of the princess, and the two ladies have not moved, otherwise the princess's life will be even more difficult......"

Chen Lan occasionally thinks Yun'er talks a lot, but now listening to the chattering but extremely detailed words, she has a deep sense of happiness. If it weren't for today's encounter, the eunuch left such a word by pretending to be smart, and Yun'er was genuine to inquire, I was afraid that she would not react until the end of the day, and it would be too late at that time!

Just as she was carefully pondering these words, she saw a creak at the door, followed by Chen Yan slammed into the curtain and rushed in. I saw him running to the bed, and before he had time to catch his breath, he smiled and showed Chen Lan a lot of things in his hand.

"Sister, you see, this purse is a gold and silver coin given by the King of Jin, and he treats me as a child. This is a folding fan given to me by the prince of Weiguo, saying that the fan surface is the ink of the holy hand Liu. This is a dagger sent by Lord Yang, hey, Lord Yang said it was a horn dagger! ”

Looking at the pile of things in front of him, and seeing the natural expression on Chen Yan's face, Chen Lan swallowed back the words that came to his mouth. It's still an uncertain thing, so why bother telling him now? Therefore, she put away her tiredness, pretending to be curious and asked about today's experience, until Chen Yan said that she had just met someone, she raised her eyebrows thoughtfully.

It seems that those three people are not all the way after all!

PS: What happened after I disappeared, guess what ^_^
