When I first stood outside the Anyuan Gate. No one paid much attention to this Anyuan - Chen Jiu and Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Xu were in the way because of such a group of ragged tenants, and Chen Ying was because he was somewhat familiar with the environment outside. However, at this moment, accompanied by Chen Lan's sister and brother, a group of people gradually became surprised.

Among the nobles, there are also three, six, nine and so on, among which only eat the merits of the ancestors when the founding of the country was founded, and take a few hundred stones to a thousand stones to live a year, which is regarded as the last first-class; In addition to receiving a piece of annual salary, those who have kept the Zhuangtian handed down by their ancestors, and those who still have military power in the Governor's Mansion or Beijing Camp are second; As for those who were promoted to the title because of their later meritorious contributions, or who have been rewarded for their meritorious deeds in these generations, such as the Yangning Marquis Mansion, it belongs to the top layer. Therefore, from Chen Jiu and Chen Ying to Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Xu, they have all seen the world, and when they walk in this Anyuan, they can naturally see the difference.

And this surprise reached its climax when he crossed the stone bridge and reached the deepest hanging flower gate. If the outer courtyards are just neat, then the deepest courtyard, which is surrounded by a stream on three sides, is atmospheric. Chen Ying deliberately glanced at the creek that was definitely not newly dug out. His mind was spinning rapidly, and he didn't even react when he entered the hall along the fence, until he went down the steps and entered the courtyard, and then he suddenly realized.

At this time, Lai's mother had already trotted over to greet her, bent her knees and saluted the crowd, and then lowered her head and said: "The old lady knows that the old lady and the young lady are here, and said that everyone does not have to bother, she lives here very comfortably, and she will definitely go back in a few days before the queen's thousand autumn festivals." The second master and the third master are all people with duties, and they should not be abolished for personal reasons. The second lady and the third lady don't leave the family affairs alone and indulge those subordinates. ”

Thinking of Zhu's cold tone when she said this, Lai's mother couldn't help but shudder, but she had to say according to the original words: "The old lady also said that this time it was for Mother Zheng to make a wish in front of the Bodhisattva, if you have filial piety, it will fulfill her great wish, and she begs you for ......."

"How could the old lady say that!"

Chen Ying saw Chen Jiu's eyes flickering on the side, as if she was thinking about something, her heart sank, and she hurriedly pushed Lai's mother away and was about to step forward, but suddenly found that Chen Lan didn't know when he had stopped in front. Although he was just a thin and small girl, his eyes looked calm and calm, he stopped unconsciously, and then sneered: "Three girls, don't think that the old lady spoils you." You can do whatever you want! ”

"Naturally, I didn't dare to stop the third uncle, but Lai's mother relayed the old lady's original words." Chen Lan stopped in front of Chen Ying without giving an inch, and seeing that the third uncle's smile faded was a little gloomy and cold, he slowed down and said in a calm tone, "I'm also thinking about the third uncle." The old lady is not in good health now, if the third uncle forces yourself to see her against her wishes, and then provokes the old lady to get sick again, so what? The third uncle's return to the dynasty this time is to be of great use, has he been distracted from taking care of his family's affairs? The imperial history of the court likes to find fault with the nobles, and the eggs that are not sewn have to be bitten twice, not to mention the time when there is an opportunity? Even the emperor, it is inevitable that he will think that our family is doing housework, right? ”

Three rhetorical questions in a row made Chen Ying's face even more gloomy. Looking at the main room only a dozen steps away, he withdrew his gaze again, and once again carefully examined Chen Lan, thinking that he had been out for many years, and he had always been the most jealous of the Zhu family, but he didn't expect that unconsciously, the orphan girl in the long room also had such courage. Taking a deep breath, he banished the distraction, and was about to speak, when a shout came from behind him.

"Third Miss. Three Misses! ”

It was Zhang's mother who ran in quickly. Although she is not the most useful in front of the Zhu family, she is a rectum that only recognizes the old lady, and when she got closer, she didn't seem to see Chen Ying and the others, she saluted Chen Lan with a happy face, and said: "The outside steward Rui came with the archers of the inspection department, and the tenants were driven clean by dividing them by two. ”

Chen Rui went out early in the morning, and it turned out that he was going to do this thing!

Chen Lan originally wanted to see what the opponent's idea was, but Chen Rui took it upon himself to move the people from the Inspection Department, presumably in the name of the Hou Mansion, she thought about it for a while, and felt that this was not bad, so she smiled and ordered Zhang's mother a few words. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Chen Ying on the other side and just frowned, then returned to nothing, and said a few words to Chen Jiu on the side, and she had a number in her heart.

In any case, the Zhu family is Chen Ying's mother-in-law, what he wants to do is to keep the title of Marquis of Yangning, and make meritorious contributions to win the greater trust of the emperor, as for the things to be taken from the family, it is only to take his time, and it is not good for him to be angry with the Zhu family - if Chen Ying is still in the Yunnan Metropolitan Division, the three-year period of filial piety does not have to be observed, and the court will definitely win the love, but now that he has returned to Beijing and entered the Zuojun Governor's Mansion, and he is not the Governor of the Palm Print, it will be impossible to win the affection, and the twenty-seven months of filial piety will be observed. For Chen Ying, it naturally does more harm than good. Taking a step back, now that the troublesome tenants have been driven away, Chen Ying has no killer feature!

"Well, since the old lady refuses to see us, let's kowtow outside the door." Chen Ying sighed gloomily, and then said to Chen Jiu, "After all, we still have a job on our bodies, and we can't serve the old lady here, since the third girl and the fourth child are here, why don't we leave the children behind." My fifth girl and your second girl also stay to serve the old lady, how about it? ”

Her husband's title is gone, and Mrs. Ma is busy in Beijing these days for her daughter Chen Bing to work up and down for the queen's Qianqiu Festival, although this Anyuan does not look like a bitter place, but the Zhu family clearly refuses to go back, how can she let her daughter stay here to suffer, so she quietly tugged on her husband's sleeve. And Chen Jiu saw that Zhu refused to come out, and saw a little clue from Chen Lan's attitude, so he followed Chen Ying's tone and snorted.

"What the third brother said is that since the old lady has taught her a lesson, let's go back after kowtowing. As for keeping people, my Bing'er has a bad temperament and lack of patience, so it's better for Yun'er to stay with Lan'er and them to serve the old lady. ”

Chen Ying didn't want Chen Jiu to leave her daughter. Instead, he left the maid here, and couldn't help but glance at him, but he knew in his heart that the last glimmer of hope had been disappointed. Chen Bing has no brains, but after all, he is a concubine, and he is the eldest among several girls in the family, so let his daughter instigate a few words, maybe he can restrain Chen Lan, but Chen Yun, the fourth-ranked concubine, is not enough. As for Chen Xi's daughter, of course, he trusts her, but after all, she is a concubine in terms of identity, and she can't suppress people. However, at this point the words were spoken. There was no room for change, so he had to nod at Chen Xi, who was a little surprised.

"It's okay, it's the four girls and the five girls."

Originally, he had calculated everything to pick up people, but who knew that in the end, he kowtowed at the door and said a few words before leaving, Chen Ying was naturally extremely angry in her heart, but it was not easy to show it on her face. After walking a short distance out of the Hanging Flower Gate, he saw that a mother-in-law he had brought out was poking his head there, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and when he got closer, he scolded: "What are you doing sneakily!" ”

The mother-in-law hurriedly appeared and saluted, but she glanced at Chen Lan, and then stepped forward and whispered to Chen Ying: "Master, the little one has to tell me urgently." ”

Chen Ying was extremely impatient, but thinking that there were enough things that didn't go well today, maybe there was any news that could be used, so he took a few steps forward, and after listening, the haze on his face suddenly dispersed a little, and then he looked back at Chen Lan playfully.

"Three girls, it turns out that before today, did the family send someone here? I remember that the Zheng family went to the Korean Mansion, and the rest of the people in the old lady's courtyard also went out of the house to do business, but it seems that no man has ever been sent here. ”

Chen Lan chuckled in his heart, and saw the servant woman flashing behind Chen Ying, who didn't know that someone had leaked the secret in front of him. After all, Yang Jinzhou only claimed to be the messenger of the Yangning Marquis Mansion when he entered the door, and few people knew his true identity, so there was no big problem. Seeing that Chen Ying's eyes were like sharp arrows, as if she wanted to poke a few holes in her body, she turned her mind, and gently put her hands together in front of her and smiled calmly.

"It's true that the messenger from our house is here, it's just a name."

"Oh, borrowing a name? If you can see people, can you use incognito? ”

Although Chen Bing had been warned by Mrs. Ma before, after all, he was not angry with his father, but the excuse he made was that he had a bad temperament. So I couldn't help but mock. Chen Ying was worried that she was all a villain, and when she heard Chen Bing's words, she said with a smile: "If it is a relative's house that comes to visit the old lady, it is always kind, so it doesn't hurt to ask someone to come out to see it." ”

"I'm afraid it's inconvenient." Chen Lan saw Chen Ying's eyebrows raised, and then added, "If the third uncle wants to see him, please just go to the tent with me." ”

The two went back and forth, and others couldn't get in at all, Chen Yan wanted to hold grievances several times, but was repelled by Chen Lan's warning eyes, so he had to stand there angrily with his fists clenched and angry. Chen Jiu thought that his title was gone, the current situation was weird, and it was better to have more than one thing, so he ordered Chen Yun to say two words, and then pulled Mrs. Ma and Chen Bing, who was quite angry, and hurriedly left first. And Mrs. Xu instructed Chen Xi to take good care of the old lady, and said to Chen Ying: "If the master still has something to tell the three girls, I will take Qing'er Han'er and leave first." ”

Chen Ying didn't expect his wife to be completely of the same mind as herself, so she only responded lightly. After thinking about it, he finally felt that it was a pity to let go of such an opportunity, so he smiled and said: "Okay, I'll go with you to see which guest it is, it's so big, and I have to ask you to play dumb riddles for him." ”

Chen Lan's face turned cold, but he ordered Chen Yan to take Chen Yun and Chen Xi to settle down first, and then made a gesture of invitation with his empty hands, and walked ahead. Chen Ying, who was behind, saw her so calm, but she was a little hesitant, but quickly strode after her. When he arrived at the door of the tent, he saw Zhang Zhuangtou, who was guarding the courtyard, seeing him as if he had seen a ghost, and his heart became more and more shocked, so when Chen Lan opened the curtain, he bent down and crossed the threshold without saying a word.

But as soon as he saw the people inside, his heart immediately turned upside down.

How could it be him!
