Wiped off the sticky sweat on his body. After changing into a middle coat, Chen Lan lay down with the re-changed quilt.

After waiting for a short time, the voice of Mi Cicui came from outside, and a figure quickly got into the tent, and when he was lying down on the pillow, Leng Buding came over again. Sensing that her face was rubbed against the slight chin of the face, she unconsciously moved to the side, and then gently pushed him with her hand.

"It's all this hour, and it's still noisy!"

"I now understand why there have been so many faint kings throughout the ages."

Chen Lan didn't want Yang Jinzhou to say such a pun, and noticed that his restless hand was around her waist through her middle coat, she knew that the struggle was also in vain, and she snorted angrily for a while: "Yes, yes, there have been so many faint kings throughout the ages, and almost all of the reasons for the deviation are attributed to the female ** country!" Don't play tricks with me, you go out early and return late these days, and you refuse to let go of that sword practice, and you have less time to sleep. It's rare to be early today, but it's almost three days since I tossed it, so why don't you get some more sleep? ”

Yang Jinzhou looked sideways, and saw that her head was against his shoulder, and in the darkness, he could vaguely see her looking at the tent above her head with wide eyes, and there was no sleepiness in her blazing eyes, and he couldn't help but laugh softly. Waiting for the person next to the pillow to twist slightly, and then turned sideways to look at him, he leaned over, and the tips of the noses of the two people were almost together.

"I'm so happy that I can't sleep for a while. Let's talk to me, come back today to pick up Mr. Bi, and I won't have time to say anything else after that......"

"You still say?" Chen Lan was angry when he heard this, so he simply arched forward again, "The whole person was pressed on his arm", "I was obviously waiting for you there reading a book, who knew that you would come in as soon as you finished washing............ Only...... Hmph, do you remember to speak at this time? ”

"You......"

As Chen Lan got a little closer, the feeling of exhaling like an orchid when he spoke became more and more obvious, and Yang Jin only felt that his body had some reactions in the first time, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. After saying those two words habitually, he noticed that the soft and boneless ankle rested on his calf, and he became more and more distracted, and it took him a long time to press the thought.

How could he have thought that the third lady of the Yangning Hou Mansion was calm and "calm, not like an ordinary woman?" The only fortunate thing is that this unknown charm only blooms for him alone, and only for him......

However, Chen Lan didn't seem to know that his actions were teasing the men around him, so he just said casually: "You have done such a big thing today, in the past day or two, the dignitaries of Nanjing City should flock here, right?" Even if you are a hero who wins every battle", why don't I remember that you have a lot of experience in investigating cases? ”

"Have you forgotten that your father-in-law once worked as a detective of the Jinyi Guard?"

Yang Jinzhou simply played with the strand of her long hair hanging down on the pillow, so as to dispel the thought in his heart, and responded casually at the moment. When someone twisted his arm lightly or heavily, he met Chen Lan's eyes again, only to find that she had already sat up with her hands propped up, "The middle coat was scattered and loose, revealing a large piece of snow white in the middle. Knowing that she did it on purpose, he couldn't bear it, so he had to reach out and pull her down and hold her in his arms for a long time, before touching the tip of her upturned nose.

"That's right, in the past, it was all important cases of the imperial order" When it was my turn to come forward to investigate, the clues had already been gathered in my hands, and all I had to do was to lead the team. The biggest case "still has you, the female middle school Zhuge come forward, so that it can be completed immediately." "After a pause," he saw Chen Lan simply lying on top of him, and was helpless and annoyed for a while, "This time it's good luck, someone reported the news, I simply took the opportunity to cheat, I thought that Deng Ji didn't expect that I would take him down directly." ”

"Deng Ji? Deng Zhong's cousin? ”

Chen Lan heard Deng Ji's name coldly, forgot his posture just now for a while, and half-knelt up with his knees. Immediately after, she realized that there was something wrong with her action, but before she could try to remedy it, she was pulled down at once, and the couple rolled into a ball for a while. Suddenly, the bed creaked unbearably again.

"Hey, it's all time, Mingda............"

"I'll talk about tomorrow later, it's all your own doing......"

This night, whether Yang Jinzhou or Chen Lan really fell asleep, they no longer knew what time it was. Only the difference between men and women was finally revealed after dawn. When Yang Jinzhou got up quietly in the darkness, what he saw was Chen Lan's restless sleeping posture covering the quilt from one end to the other. He pulled the quilt up for her again, and gently kissed the red lips that showed infinite charm, and then he turned around and dressed, and left the house in a short time.

There was a faint whisper of conversation outside, and even the curtain of the door was slightly opened, as if a head had reached in to check the situation, but it quickly shrank back. Chen Lan on the bed was still lying there with his eyes closed, but the corners of his mouth showed a hint of satisfaction.

I don't know how long it took before Chen Lan opened his eyes in a burst of talking. Seeing that the pillow was empty, the tent was still hanging low on the ground, and someone could be seen walking outside in the gap, she raised her arm and rubbed her eyes, and then asked lazily, "Who is outside?" What time is it? ”

"Madame is awake?" One hand opened the tent, and then quickly hung it on the golden hook on the side, and then poked his head in, but it was Aunt Liu. Seeing Chen Lan's delicate face and the whole person exuding a strange style, she couldn't help but smile slightly, and then said, "It's almost noon." Early in the morning, the old man instructed someone to inform the old lady, and Zhuang's mother had come before, saying that she should not wake up the lady, so we didn't call anyone. ”

"Lunch...... Noon! ”

At this moment, Chen Lan was really surprised. Although she didn't need a housekeeper here, there were always such and such things throughout the day, so she still slept lightly and got up early, but she didn't want to miss breakfast today! As soon as she got up, she pulled all the long hair that hung down to her chest to the back, and then said a little angrily: "You have to have a degree to get up this night, how can you just listen to him" This is also outrageous! ”

"The old lady doesn't pick on this, madam, why do you care about this?" Aunt Liu helped Chen Lan get up with a smile, put on her clothes again, and waited for Hongluo and Hongying to come in with a wooden basin and hot water and towels. After a while, the bed that was still messy just now changed, and after she walked out of the house with her things and turned back, Chen Lan had already freshened up and dressed up, just looking at the mirror and being distracted.

slept until noon, although hungry, but Chen Lan looked at himself in the mirror with a ruddy face and refreshed, and looked away for a long time. When she saw the red snail and red tassel next to her, they tried their best to pretend to be casual, only the corners of their mouths were slightly upturned, she didn't know what the two girls were thinking, and she got up and walked out after a glance at them. As soon as she arrived in the bright room, she happened to see a person come in with a curtain, it was Zhuang's mother.

"Madame?"

It's just four words," Chen Lan suddenly felt as if his face was on fire. I just hated that there was no mirror at this time, and she didn't know if her face was really red, so she had to nod her head casually. Fortunately, Zhuang's mother didn't say anything else next, but said that the kitchen cooked red bean porridge early in the morning, and a few snacks, "Let her use some cushions before going to see the old lady, lunch may be late, she agreed one by one, and only remembered when Zhuang's mother turned around to leave."

"What, did Uncle Quan say he was coming back for lunch?"

"The master said that he would come back for lunch when he was free.

However, Governor Fan came over in person, saying that he had heard that there had been an assassination case in Nanjing, and many people had come to Yangzhou. At noon, there were about a dozen people from Pingjiangbo, Xu Shoubei, Jinling Prefect, Zhejiang Patrol Imperial History, and Governor Cao Imperial ......History, and there were about a dozen people coming over. As for the master, he went out early in the morning, and there was no news at this time. ”

It's coming so fast!

Thinking of what he vaguely heard in the end of his madness last night, Chen Lan couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression, and heard Aunt Liu's voice coming from the side: "Madame, let's eat something first, it's not too late to think about these things while eating, and the people haven't come over yet." It's just that we're here, and we're not landlords, we always know that the government yamen will come to us first, and then they will come to us, and the lord is not there, can they still force us to see these female dependents, or that son? ”

It is true that his head turns slowly when he is hungry, so Chen Lan nodded. However, she really underestimated how hungry she was at this time, and when the porridge and snacks were delivered, she drank two small bowls of red bean porridge, three small huā rolls, and half a small head in one go, which was considered to be a relief. It's just that after this toss and change of clothes, when she arrived at Jiang's room, it was almost noon. Although her mother-in-law didn't ask her about getting up late, she was still a little weak when she missed the morning province.

Jiang looked at Chen Lan, who was as bright as a hibiscus out of the water, and remembered for a moment that she was a bride a few months ago. Compared with the delicate at that time, this daughter-in-law is naturally much plump now. Thinking about the words she said when she saw Mr. Bi in the morning, she smiled more and more, and then looked at Zhuang's mother and said, "Go and get a rose dew." ”

Seeing that Chen Lan seemed to be a little surprised, she smiled and said: "It was Mr. Bi who said that in the future, remember to use a rose dew every morning, which is not only to nourish but also to nourish the skin." This thing is no more than others, it is easy to obtain, and it tastes sweet. ”

"Mother, I just had breakfast, and I can't eat ...... at this time."

"It's like drinking water, where can't you even eat this bit of rose dew?"

After a while, Chen Lan had an extra glass cup in his hand that contained most of the red liquid. If she usually likes sweets, she will drink it by dividing it by two, but at this time, her stomach is almost full, so she can only sip it slowly. When she used the little silver spoon to adjust the last bit, Zhuang's mother came in through the door.

"Old lady, ma'am, I have just gone to the door to pick up the letter from the post road, and I know that someone outside is asking to see me...... It was Mrs. Pingjiangbo, Mrs. Ai, the wife of the mountain chief of Jinling Academy, Mrs. Zhou, the inspector of Yushi Zhou, and ...... Mrs. Jiang, the patriarch of the Jiang family. ”

If it is a civil and military official, as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said just now, now there are only the old, weak, sick and disabled left in the puppet garden, and it is a matter of one sentence to see or not to see, but now it is also the official daughter's family! Chen Lan saw that the Jiang family was looking over, so he stood up and walked in front of the Jiang family, bent down slightly and said, "Forget about others, the Jiang family's clan wife is also here, if the mother doesn't want to see, "How about I go on a trip for you?" Hengzhu, we are the Yang family" Even if the Jiang family is a clan wife, it has nothing to do with the Ran family. ”

"I think that when the emperor released the whole brother to guard the Liangjiang General Army, didn't he also say, "Let me go back to my hometown in style, even so, what am I avoiding them!" Besides, as you just said, we have nothing to do with the Jiang family, and it is only right that those who forget their righteousness avoid me! Jiang Shi stood up by pressing the handrail, and solemnly straightened out the gown on his body, and then gently took Chen Lan's hand, "With you, the county lord, with you, still afraid of them?" Dealer's, you went and invited the four ladies to the small huā hall on the west side of the Ermen Yongdao to talk."

"Mother!" Chen Lan was a little embarrassed by Jiang's words, and his two hands clenched tightly for a moment, and then he took advantage of the situation to support his mother-in-law, and said softly in his mouth, "Let people go and deliver a letter over there, everyone is here, Xiao Shizi's side has to hide completely, I'm afraid it's impossible." As for Mr. Bi going to talk to him personally, I think the two of them should have discussed something last night. As for the four ladies in front, "At most, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth, and there is nothing that our two can't handle." ”

"That's it!"

Jiang nodded emphatically, and immediately followed Chen Lan's suggestion. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other's clothes, although they were not very solemn, but they were not invited guests, and they were about the same" The two of them also took the girls out of the house, and whispered all the way to deal with the meeting. Jiang was always a little uncomfortable, but seeing Chen Lan's witty words, "he looked like he was not afraid, and he secretly wondered if his daughter-in-law had seen the world" and couldn't help but ridicule.

"It's a shame that you got up late today, and I just filled my stomach, and I also used two pieces of dim sum to wait for you and my brother. Later, we will deal with these villains and see how long they can survive hungry! ”

Chen Lan almost didn't laugh out loud when he heard this, but the person leaned closer to the Jiang family: "Mother, your method is really ...... If people hear you say this, they don't know what to say! ”

"Who stipulates that Mrs. Yipintai can't be unreasonable? When I was your age, I was the most unreasonable at home, and I wanted to be so hungry for an arrogant cousin who didn't like the eye......"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law just talked and laughed, and when they entered the small huā hall, the accident when they first heard the news disappeared, replaced by a relaxed freehand that could not be hidden. On the contrary, the four ladies who had just sat down in the room got up to greet each other at this time, although most of them were smiling, but no matter how they looked at it, it was a little fake, especially Mrs. Jiang Da, who was the last.

Mrs. Pingjiang is a superb, and the Fang family has been in Jiangnan for a long time, although they are not in charge of the military, they are still a first-class famous family. Therefore, at this time, Mrs. Pingjiang Bo led the way, and when she saw that the Jiang family and Chen Lan were about to salute, she hurriedly raised her hand and personally held the Jiang family, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Tai came with Lord Yang, and when I was originally passing by the Caoyun Governor's Mansion in Huai'an, I should have gone to visit her, but at that time, I was in Nanjing with my master, so I couldn't help but miss it." I was going to wait for everyone to come to Nanjing before coming to the door, but who knew that there were assassins in the city a few days ago. The old man was taken aback, and it was just a river away, so we came immediately. ”

She is over forty years old, she is very well maintained, her complexion is fair and meticulous, and she does not wear gold and silver and grease and powder as usual Jiangnan customs, only her figure is slightly fat, but it shows the grace and nobility of a powerful family. While laughing, she pointed to the three people behind her: "This is the sister-in-law of the Ai family, and many of the handsome men who came out of Jinling Academy have to call her a master, that is, the affairs of the academy, and many of them are handled by her personally." This is the younger brother and sister of the Zhou family, her Langjun is the most iron-faced and upright, everyone on the ground in the south of the Yangtze River is afraid, and my lord also respects him deeply. This is the last Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Pingjiang couldn't help but pause, and then smiled heartily: "The Jiang family is an old family with a solid foundation in Jiangnan, the eldest lady is a clan wife, and the concubines of the family have things to ask for judgment in front of her, and I am rarely busy on weekdays, and this time I think it is the first time in many years to go out of Nanjing City." ”

Chen Lan heard that Mrs. Pingjiang never mentioned her mother-in-law Jiang and walked out of the Jiang family, and she was not a sister-in-law and a younger brother and sister like she called Mrs. Ai and Mrs. Zhou before, but deliberately cleared up the relationship, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Immediately after, she felt that the hand holding her mother-in-law's arm suddenly tightened.

"We just wanted to stop in Yangzhou Mansion and cross the river immediately in two days, but we really didn't expect to make so many things, and we also worked all the way to come and inquire."

The Jiang family took Chen Lan to meet the four ladies one by one, even to Mrs. Jiang, and they were all polite, "I didn't slack off at all." Although she is also a guest in the puppet garden, "but now that she is living here, she can be regarded as half a master, and she will sit according to the bin at the moment." Chen Lan stood beside the Jiang family, and listened to Mrs. Pingjiang taking the lead in coming up with a set of comforting words, and her eyes couldn't help but narrow, but then the words turned to her.

"Earlier, when my lord came back from Jingshi, he mentioned that the eldest princess of Anguo had newly recognized her beloved daughter, and said how smart and clear the county lord of Haining was, and later he gave him a marriage with Lord Yang. I've always wondered, "I didn't expect to see it so soon." Mrs. Pingjiang stood up and stepped forward as she spoke, took Chen Lan's hand and looked it up and down for a while, and then sent it to Jiang's side, the smile on her face deepened, "My Jing's girl also happens to be in Nanjing, and Gai Ming'er must let her come to see her, according to which, "The county lord of Haining can be regarded as her future aunt, but she must be pointed at her." ”

Such a naked kiss came from the mouth of Mrs. Pingjiangbo, who has always been arrogant, and Mrs. Ai and Mrs. Zhou on the opposite side couldn't help but show a little different color. And Mrs. Jiang just lowered her head and said nothing, as if she was a wooden person. Chen Lan took in all these situations, and saw that at this time, Aunt Liu happened to use a small tea tray with red lacquer to bring tea up, "She personally stepped forward, personally gave a cup of tea to the four ladies on the seat, turned around and presented it to the Jiang family, and then turned around.

"Mrs. Pingjiang is serious, I am very stupid myself, where can I point to others? If you don't mind that I'm boring, just ask the eldest lady to sit down. ”

Seeing that Chen Lan agreed, Mrs. Pingjiang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and even narrowed her eyes with a smile: "Then it's decided, my family's Jing girl has always been lively, just to relieve Mrs. of boredom." ”

At this moment, "Chen Lan found that from beginning to end, it was almost just a one-man show for Mrs. Pingjiangbo, and Mrs. Ai and Mrs. Zhou only interjected a sentence or two from time to time, but they did not echo casually, but said something else as if inadvertently. Sensing that there was not a road between the two groups of people, she couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Jiang Da, who was like an old monk, and made a rough judgment.

Wenwu has a different path, and the Jiang family has not had any outstanding figures in the officialdom for a long time, and in the eyes of others, they have offended an upstart like the Yang family, so among the four people, they are actually divided into three groups!

After a long time, Mrs. Pingjiangbo's words finally came to an end, and then Mrs. Ai coughed lightly and took over the conversation. Compared with Mrs. Pingjiangbo, her outfit is more plain, and the jinghai cloth skirt, if it doesn't look magnificent, is exactly the same as an ordinary market woman. After she nodded with a smile, she spoke: "The imperial court has just issued an edict, from now on, the mountain chiefs of each academy will have a decree to canonize it, it is said that it is the expression of Du Ge Lao, so that many academies in Jiangnan can benefit from it, and it can be said that the merit is immeasurable." I heard that Lord Yang was a former disciple of Du Ge Lao, and this time the matter was more due to his advice to Du Ge Lao, so although my husband couldn't leave, he asked me to come to greet him to express my gratitude. ”

When did Yang Jinzhou come to such a trick silently?

It was the first time Chen Lan had heard about this, while secretly calculating the time when the capital would arrive in Nanjing, while looking at the reactions of other people, seeing that Mrs. Ping Jiangbo was obviously a little stunned, Mrs. Jiang was silent, but Mrs. Zhou also nodded: "As Mrs. Ai said, this is indeed a great merit." In the early years, several Yuan Fu in the imperial court proposed to ban private academies and vigorously set up official schools, so that the private schools in Jiangnan were always uneasy. Now with the support of the imperial court, everyone is finally relieved. ”

The Jiang family had never heard of this, but when others praised her son, her face was misty, but she couldn't help muttering in her heart. At this time, it was suddenly reported that Yang Jinzhou had returned, and she let go of this suspicion. Chen Lan on the side saw Mrs. Ai and Mrs. Zhou quickly exchange a look, as if she was a little surprised, and Mrs. Pingjiangbo suddenly showed a surprise that could not be concealed, and she couldn't help but think.

Sure enough, the four who came were all married women, and no one turned away at the moment.

When Yang Jin entered the door on Monday, everyone finished the ceremony, and Mrs. Pingjiang blurted out: "Where did Lord Yang come back from?" My lord and Xu Shoubei said that they went directly to the Jiangduwei station, but didn't they meet you? ”

"Ping Jiangbo and Xu Shoubei?" Yang Jinzhou raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then shook his head, "I went to the left guard of the Jiangbian Navy today, and I never went to the Jiangduwei station, so I missed it." ”

Seeing that Mrs. Pingjiang was uncomfortable as if she had punched Mianhuā, and the remaining three were no better, Chen Lan couldn't help but glance at Yang Jin, and the Bijiang clan whispered next to her at this time: "Ah Lan, I didn't expect that Shuquan is getting more and more ghosts now." At least this kind of pretending kung fu would never have been so perfect before! He just missed it, obviously deliberately making people pounce
