Chapter 327 This place of peace is my hometown

"In the power of immortal weather, the Great Blessing Shadow protects the Emperor's holy decree. Every base of the officers, every base of the soldiers, every base of the officials who manage the city Daru Huachi, and every bottom of the envoys, the holy decree proclaimed. Emperor Genghis, Emperor Ogedei...... Farewell monks, every time, sent to the temple. This is a monk who learns auspiciousness and so on, relying on the holy decree, and has no body to do it, if he does it, he does not worry about it. Holy Decree. On the 14th day of the seventh month of the 14th year of Zheng, it was written in the hour. ”

Although Chen Lan barely recognized every word on the inscription, she was at a loss when she read it from beginning to end. This is to speak the vernacular but not understand, to speak the literary language but not at all like that, and then she had to attribute it to the incomplete sinicization of the Yuan Dynasty. After turning around, she saw that Changdi's eyebrows were all twisted together, while Aunt Liu's face was as usual, and she didn't know if she had heard it in the palace or something else. At the moment, she didn't comment much, greeted the two and went back the same way. As soon as she walked out of the small door on the side, she saw the smiling host Zhiyong greet her with a small novice.

"Master Zhiyong."

"County Lord." Zhiyong returned the salute, and without waiting for Chen Lan to say anything more, he rushed forward and said, "This time His Royal Highness King Jing came down suddenly, although Lao Wei had blocked it, but he said that he would not disturb the Jingshe, and Lao Gao had to agree, and asked his junior brother and two little novices to follow, but he didn't want to be thrown away, and then there were still little novices who saw him come out of the back door of Tallinn and went to the Thousand Buddha Palace, and Lao Qu learned that the county lord and Su Da * Milk went to Tallinn together, so he hurried over to take a look. ”

"It's okay, I just said a few words to His Royal Highness King Jing."

Seeing that Zhiyong was obviously relieved, Chen Lan didn't want to cause trouble for the host every time he came, so he thanked Zhiyong for his hospitality today in a few words, and opened his mouth to say goodbye. This is obviously very in line with Zhiyong's words, and he immediately sent him off courteously, and when he arrived at the mountain gate, Aunt Liu, who had not spoken just now, suddenly asked: "Master, do you know, what is the origin of that Xiao Gong next to His Royal Highness King Jing?" ”

"Gong Xiao ......" Zhiyong glanced at Aunt Liu, and then glanced at Chen Lan, a hint of strange color flashed on his face, "This old man doesn't know, His Royal Highness King Jing only let people know that he will come." However, the old man heard that some time ago, when the Korean envoys paid a visit to the emperor, they presented ten pairs of handsome young men and girls, and it seems that some of them were awarded to the princes and nobles, and they may be among them. ”

Aunt Liu's face was worse when she heard this, while Changdi's face was slightly red, and Chen Lan didn't say anything, and after meeting with the other mothers and girls waiting near the Tianwang Palace, she resigned again and went out of the mountain gate and got into the car. Changdi and Aunt Liu instructed the coachman and Yiying's entourage, and they got into the car one after the other. As soon as she sat down, Aunt Liu couldn't help but apologize and said, "Madam, the slave maid shouldn't have asked such a sentence just now." In fact, the former queen said that His Royal Highness King Jing is gentle and open-minded, and although he is not extremely outstanding in reading and practicing martial arts, he is far from being mediocre. If it weren't for that little problem, in fact, he would be called a virtuous king. Therefore, the slave maid saw that he was like this, and she really couldn't stand it, so she asked a lot of questions. It's just that the North Koreans are so arrogant......"

"Not North Koreans." Chen Lan didn't wait for Aunt Liu to finish speaking, then shook his head, "I don't think that Xiao Gong is a North Korean. Although Korea is a small country, it has a strict division between the upper and lower levels, and it will be given to those who will give it to the Celestial Empire. When he first saw him, he avoided behind His Royal Highness King Jing, if he was a personal servant of the imperial gift, he would not dare to be so rude. When King Jing invited him to go to the Thousand Buddha Palace, he did not forget to bow to me before leaving. Except for the words he said at the beginning, there was a bit of annoyance and anger, looking at his later actions, he definitely didn't look like the people around King Jing, but as if he knew that reputation and didn't want to be seen with him. I think it may be an occasional bump, or simply bring someone out on the emperor's orders. ”

Changdi was surprised when he heard this: "No wonder the county lord said that Mrs. is like her, and she can see so many at a glance, it's really amazing."

"You girl, you know how to praise me, I just said I think I don't say I am sure." Chen Lan looked at Aunt Liu as he spoke, "Auntie, don't blame me for talking too much, just forget about today's events, there is no such thing as a bento." After all, the queen mother has already gone, but His Royal Highness King Jing is about to open a palace to accept concubines, how can he have his own emperor's care, but he has nothing to do with us. ”

Aunt Liu immediately woke up when she heard this, and she was deeply indebted. On the next road, the three masters and servants watched the situation on the road through the windows on both sides. In order to cover up his detour, Chen Lan also deliberately went to the Dengshi Hutong when he turned to Dongcheng, bought a box of pea yellow, a box of almond cake, and four-color pattern dumplings, and went back to the Huangcheng North Street in Beicheng. It's just that after looking at it all the way, she realized that the imperial city was more heavily guarded than usual, and the number of people entering and leaving was far less than in the past.

After going around like this, it was already late afternoon when I returned to the Mirror Garden, and it was past lunch. Because he had traveled a long way this way, Chen Lan ordered his relatives and mother who followed the car to reward 200 yuan each, and everyone was immediately happy. When she took Aunt Liu and Changdi into the second gate, the two mothers-in-law who greeted her invited people into the door diligently, and one of them said in his mouth: "The old lady was strange just now, and she almost never sent anyone to Huguo Temple to inquire." The laba porridge in the big kitchen was still hot all the time......"

Chen Lan responded with a smile, and the two women were sent to a moon gate, and they stopped and didn't dare to go inside. When she arrived at the gate of Xifuju, Zhuang's mother was already waiting outside, and when she saw them, she said softly: "The old lady must have waited for Madame to come back to drink porridge, but then she finally drank a small half bowl of stubble under my persuasion, and used some snacks, and fell asleep in a daze." ”

"It's all my fault, I knew that this was the case, I should have sent someone to bring the letter back, and I let my mother wait so well." Chen Lan apologized and asked Aunt Liu to take a few colors of dim sum bought from Dengshi Hutong, and Mother Zhuang hurriedly made a gesture to the little girl and immediately took it in. As Zhuang's mother walked inside, Chen Lan asked as if he was careless, "In the past, there was always porridge in the palace during the Laba Festival, but there was no movement this year?" ”

"Not yet. The Yangning Hou Mansion and the Han Mansion were sent by the lady when she went out, the Jin Wangfu and the Du family were before noon, followed by the Dai family, Xiao Zhang's hometown, and a few close families. So the old lady said that the family was full with one spoonful, and after leaving a bowl for the lady, the rest was rewarded......"

Zhuang's mother chattered a lot, but Chen Lan heard a meaning, that is, there has been no reward for Laba porridge in the palace so far. I remember that when she celebrated the Laba Festival in the Yangning Marquis Mansion last year, she was recuperating in bed, and the masters up and down began to prepare for the rewards in the palace from the morning. Fortunately, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there is still a custom passed down - that is, the porridge of the Laba Festival is to celebrate the festival for the occasion, not to make people hungry and wait, so the dignitaries do not have to wait from morning to noon. And in order not to waste the rice and dried fruits in the palace, the amount of each family will not be too much, ranging from one small bowl to three small bowls, and then eat after being sent to the stove to warm people's hearts.

Jiang only took a nap occasionally, and woke up after a while. Seeing Chen Lan come back, she brought a few foods that she was very familiar with, she didn't know that it must have been mentioned to her daughter-in-law before, and she had a smile on her face, and she had long forgotten the reward in the palace. Chen Lan complied with his wishes, and he didn't want Chen Yun's words to spoil his mother-in-law's interest in today's holiday. However, until the evening, the reward in the palace came belatedly, and this time it was not Laba porridge in previous years, but Laba wine. And it was none other than the golden eunuch of the wine and vinegar factory.

Therefore, after the courtesy of the reward, seeing that Chen Lan made an excuse to take the Jiang family, and only Aunt Liu was left by his side, he immediately withdrew his entourage, and then knelt down and said three or four rings to Chen Lan.

"Father-in-law Jin, what are you doing here, if you break your forehead, how can you explain it to people when you go out?"

"If it weren't for the county lord who sent Aunt Liu, the little one would have almost made a big mistake, and these heads should be done" Having said that, Eunuch Jin didn't dare to hit his head on the blue brick on the ground anymore, and got up after two more touches, and then solemnly made another big move, "In addition, this is also Lord Xie Yang, if it weren't for Lord Yang to uncover the case, Gonggong Xia may not have suffered much, and as for the small one, he would have been eaten alive by those guys who were eyeing him." Take today's Laba Festival as an example, it should have been boiling Laba porridge since last night, who wants to know what went wrong in the imperial dining room and the imperial wine room, or because Grandpa Xia used to think that the folk Laba wine was good, he brewed a batch early and prepared it, otherwise this time it would be a big joke."

It turned out that today's Laba Festival reward has not arrived for a long time, because the palace eunuch yamen is still in chaos, so it seems that the three eunuchs who were locked in front of them should be released within a few days.

understood the reason, but what Chen Lan cared about was the so-called "Lord Yang uncovered the case". However, Eunuch Jin couldn't say anything about this, and even he hadn't entered the palace today, and these laba wines were prepared in advance by the wine and vinegar factory. According to him, since Eunuch Xia and others were imprisoned that day, he has never entered the palace, and as for Yang Jinzhou, he can't provide any news, but the news of the uncovering has already spread.

"The Baitong carriage and horse shop deserved to die this time, and two men couldn't help but torture and confide that the oil was secretly brought in from outside the city. Just for this, not to mention the theft in the palace, I'm afraid I don't know how many heads I will lose. As for the officials involved, plus those who hold the shares of this carriage and horse dealership, I don't know how much they will be dethroned. For this, Lord Yang has already been said to be the evil star who caused the matter, and some people even said that he was a natural Jinyi guard. ”

Seeing off Eunuch Jin, Chen Lan only felt that his heart was churning terribly.

Chen Yun relayed Su Yi's drunken words, if this brother-in-law's accidental appointment of the Imperial Procuratorate was originally instructed by someone, then the so-called Yang Jinzhou is being questioned in the palace, and the credibility is only about three or four percent; And Eunuch Jin has not yet entered the palace, and what he said just now is even speculation and hearsay, but the information in it may not be true at first glance, but it makes people palpitate when they think about it carefully.

"What is the emperor doing here...... Planning to turn him into a loner completely? ”

Wriggling his lips and asked silently, Chen Lan finally just sighed. Although she has been married for less than two months, she has gradually understood her husband. He is not a very powerful person, and being conscientious is not so much a natural disposition as an acquired habit. She doesn't ask him to soar again, but in this world where it is difficult to be alone, there is only one way to go.

Since the palace rewarded the imperial wine, Chen Lan took it out and drank it with his mother-in-law Jiang at the dinner of the Laba Festival on this day. Although she tried her best to talk and laugh, and the Jiang family was also in good spirits, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law invariably drank two more glasses, and when they were drunk, Chen Lan's face was more delicate than usual, and Jiang looked up at the palace lamp hanging high with hazy eyes.

"This garden is too big, and it's really too lonely for my brother not to come back. I really hope that the two of you can have more children in the future, so that there will be more laughter and noise in this garden......"

After dinner, the Jiang family, who was already a little overwhelmed, lay down, and Chen Lanfang went back to the Yiqing Pavilion surrounded by the girls. Walking on the road, Yun'er, who has always talked a lot, couldn't help but mutter: "Madam, look at the old lady's appearance, it seems that she really wants to hug her grandchildren, even so, why did you give you that soup prescription again?" ”

"Silly girl, the old lady gives the soup prescription because she loves her daughter-in-law. As for wanting to hold their grandchildren now, this is the common feeling of the elderly. Aunt Yun saw that Chen Lan seemed to be a little confused, and as if she hadn't heard this, she glanced at Yun'er, "Besides, the population here is indeed too small and simple now, and it is inevitable to be lonely when you are idle." ”

"Isn't it easy to be simple? If it is like in the Yangning Hou Mansion, a young lady on the left and a young master on the right, the old lady and the aunt, there are always a lot of people, they have to think about this and that all day long, how tired they are all year round, the third lady is not ......" Yun'er pouted unconvinced, but when it came to Mrs. Xu, she immediately knew that she was wrong, and hurriedly stopped her mouth. Sure enough, as soon as she looked up secretly, she saw Chen Lan glancing coldly, and hurriedly lowered her head and lowered her hand, "Madam, the slave knows it's wrong......

"It's good to know that it's wrong, go back and copy the thousand-word text ten times."

Seeing Yun'er respond with a sad face, Chen Lan turned around this time and continued to move forward. Facing the treacherous and complicated former dynasty at the Hou Mansion before, she also had to deal with the miscellaneous relatives at home, and she didn't know how much effort it took her. Now that he is married, the housework in the backyard is refreshing, and there are only two or three restless servants jumping up and down, and even the big trouble of Ru Ningbo is no longer there. A lucky housewife like her probably ploughed the entire capital, and she may not be able to find a few.

With such a life, you have to pay a corresponding reward - so Yang Jinzhou is a conscientious Tianxinchen in anyone's eyes, and even if she can't let go of the anxiety in her heart, what she has to do now is to never let people make trouble for him, and she can't start to go wrong from herself

At night, there was only one lantern lit in front of the door of the Joy Pavilion, and with the return of the owner, there were several more lights in the dim room, and it gradually became brighter. And when he soaked his feet after washing, Chen Lan successively called Aunt Yun and Aunt Liu and Changdi Hongying to him. Yun'er, who was busy making beds in the western room, couldn't help but pout at Qinfang when she saw people entering one by one.

"Sister Qinfang, there are more and more people around Madame now, if it goes on like this, we will really be useless"

"What are you talking about, the two aunts are from the Kunning Palace, who can compare with the knowledge? Changdi and red cherry blossoms were sent by the county lord again, and the martial arts of that hand, we can only embroider flowers and naturally can't catch up. You, aren't you pestering Zhuang's mother to learn accounts now? Since you have this thought, why don't you mention it to your wife, it's good to cross the bright road? ”

"I'm afraid that Madame will mention marriage again," Yun'er took a breath and said with a bitter face, "We are also familiar with those people in the mirror garden, and there are almost very few people who are suitable for age, suitable character, and suitable family." Madame must first take the long dysprosium and the red cherry blossoms, then you and the red snail, and then fall on me, not to mention that I can't look at any of them. ”

"Sister doesn't have to count me in."

While the two were talking in a low voice, a voice sounded behind them, Qin Fang looked back and saw that it was a red snail, which relieved her, while Yun'er was a little red-faced, and immediately grabbed Bai and said: "Why don't you count you, could it be that you won't marry?" ”

Hongluo smiled slightly, stuffed the copper foot stove in his hand into the quilt and tucked it away, and then turned around and said: "I have already asked for the grace of my wife, and in another two years, when everything is in order in the house, my wife will let me out." ”

"What?" Yun'er was really startled at this time, and then she reached out and touched the door of Hongluo's head regardless of it, "You're not kidding, are you?" Although the saying goes, the girl of a wealthy family is stronger than the daughter of a small household, but if you really want to go back, you may not be disgusted that you have served people, and when the family is up, the three wives and four concubines are greasy and do not die, if you are a slightly worse person, needless to say, mother-in-law and sister-in-law and brother, just set the rules on weekdays, but you are tired of doing work. Besides, even if you leave the country and become a commoner, don't you still have to serve the management of the official and the yamen, and even the ruffians will ride on your head?"

After saying all this in one go, Yun'er didn't care about the little mustard with Hongluo on weekdays, grabbed her hand and said seriously: "Listen to my advice, don't just look at the freedom" > two words, and lost the reality. Madame has always been very good to us, and the two girls sent by Runing Bo Mansion can choose the right person to match, let alone us? ”

Yun'er has always been sharp-toothed and unforgiving, so neither Qin Fang nor Hongluo expected her to say such a thing. Qin Fang was still stunned, and Hongluo gently covered Yun'er's hand with his other hand: "Thank you for telling me so many honest words." Of course, I don't mean to leave my wife to live alone, but to do some small business under the eaves of our house. Don't the girls and daughters-in-law in the house often have free time to do needlework? It's often sold for three dollars and two dollars when it's sent out, so I can do some consignment errands...... As for men, it is better to recruit a door-to-door son-in-law. ”

As soon as these words came out, Qin Fang and Yun'er's eyes widened. Yun'er stretched out her hand and suddenly pounded it under the squeaky nest of the red snail: "God, you really want to think of it...... Are you planning to take your godmother out to raise you? ”

Seeing that Hongluo first smiled and avoided for a while, then nodded, Qin Fang couldn't help but sigh: "It's really too appalling for you to think about it." In this world, sons-in-law are looked down upon, how many good men are willing? ”

"It's just a joke, sisters are still serious?" Hongluo blinked his eyes slyly, and when he saw Yun'er rolling up his sleeves and coming up to make trouble again, he raised his hand to beg for mercy, "Master has been in the army for many years, and it is not easy to choose a person?" As long as I have a stable character and can be filial to my godmother, I can get by with the rest, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to find this condition alone? So, don't worry about not being able to pick it up at home. Last time, Mrs. mentioned it to the master, saying that when the time comes, let the girl pick a small one, and she will never wronged you."

After Hongluo said this, he jumped up, dodged Yun'er's claws and fled out, but as soon as he opened the door curtain, he almost collided with Chen Lan. Yun'er, who was in a state of impatience, also rushed to stop halfway, her face full of embarrassment and surprise. Seeing this scene, Qin Fang had to meet it.

"Madam, it's all my incompatibility that makes them laugh......"

Chen Lan happened to hear Hongluo's words outside just now, and her heart couldn't help but be a little touched, so at this time, seeing Yun'er's mouse like a cat, and Hongluo's unprecedented red face, coupled with Qin Fang, who took everything on herself, she finally couldn't help laughing, and then straightened her face.

"Since you both know that you are wrong, the two of you are also like Yun'er, and you all go back and copy the "Thousand Character Text" ten times"

It wasn't until he went to bed that he saw Qin Fang put down the tent and slept on the bed as usual, and Chen Langang, who buried his head in the pillow, laughed happily. In the past, she taught a few big girls to write simple words, and Hongluo originally had some foundation, so now it is natural to kill two birds with one stone if she uses the copy to punish them. It's the red snail, this girl has always behaved differently, she can do it, and she will naturally find a good way out for her. And what she told Aunt Yun and them can be done tomorrow......

In the past, a woman like Rou Nu could still say that this place of peace was my hometown, and her situation was a hundred times better, where did she come from to be sad and uneasy?

Early the next morning, after Chen Lan went to the Xifu Residence to greet the Jiang family, when she arrived at the inverted hall to deal with family affairs, there were a few fewer people around her than usual-Aunt Yun, Aunt Liu, and Changdi Hongying, who had already gone out at this time—in addition, she was as if she had never seen Chen Yun yesterday, nor had she received some news from Eunuch Jin, and she was always indifferent. However, when it was time for lunch, it was reported that Mother Zheng of the Yangning Hou Mansion was here, and she hurriedly ordered to be invited, and then quickly settled the remaining half a bowl of porridge and a flower roll.

Because Zhu's health is not good now, since Chen Lan got married, Zheng's mother has gradually used less energy in foreign affairs, and the things of going out are often handed over to Zhang's mother. However, today, when it was rare to see, Chen Lan saw Zheng's mother flying under her feet, and when she got closer, she was blessed, so she hurried to stand in front of her, and bowed down to lower her voice.

"Third aunt, no...... Because the second lady took the second aunt and grandmother over yesterday, today the second aunt's mother-in-law personally led someone to the door, saying that it was the second aunt, and the second aunt was angry, and she fell yesterday and has not woken up yet."

ps: I saw a book review and someone said that 70% of my books are irrelevant to the main plot, embarrassing...... What do you think is the main line?
