Mrs. Yang this Marquis is the order of the court to extend the seal of the super product, and she is located on the lady of the first product, so Xu lost the person, and the Yangning Marquis Mansion naturally had to inform the Ministry of Rites, as for the court to send people to mourn, according to the general procedures, it will at least wait until the day of the service after the funeral. The civil and military officials who got the information sent people to mourn according to their relatives, and the severity of the mantis sent varied, the less than one or twenty taels, and the more one or two hundred taels, and this busy work continued until the evening.

Seeing that the sedan cars that appeared again and again at both ends of Yangning Street went from endless to sparse, and then it was difficult to see a dial in a quarter of an hour, and the porter who kept reporting inside was relieved, some ran to drink water to moisten their throats, some were looking for a place to lean on, and it was difficult to squat down and relax their numb feet. After a while, the sky was already dark, and the middle-aged porter headed by him looked up at the weather and couldn't help muttering.

"Isn't it going to snow this day? If that's really the case, even if there is a charcoal fire in the mourning hall, it won't be easy to survive...... Alas, Mrs. is not blessed, and she has only been Mrs. Yangninghou for less than a year......"

As he spoke, he suddenly caught a glimpse of two riders galloping from under the wooden archway at the other end of the street, and hurriedly shouted without looking back: "Hurry up and stand up, be in good spirits, when someone is coming to mourn again..., hey, it's the third aunt!" ”

The people in the door did not relax because of this third uncle, and hurriedly lined up in two columns at the door and stood up straight. When Yang Jinzhou stopped in front of the door and saw these two rows of nail-like people, there was a hint of approval on his face. The middle-aged porter led by him stepped forward, and saw that Yang Jinzhou had changed into a plain robe, and a plain belt was also put on his waist, and his expression suddenly became more respectful.

"Third aunt, please."

took a light gatekeeper and led Yang Jinzhou into the West Corner Gate, and sent people to the second gate along the road, until he saw the person enter the second gate, and the figure disappeared quickly along the path, and he turned around. The young porter who came with him probed his brain curiously, and asked again: "Uncle Peng" The second aunt and the fourth aunt have both come, but the third aunt is the latest. ”

"You know what! The second aunt and the fourth aunt both came to take a turn and went back, the fourth aunt is still dressed in new royal blue clothes, it doesn't look like a condolence, but it looks like a visitor, how can the third aunt know something? Although they are nieces and sons-in-law, they don't even need to be hemp, but they are always elders, how can they not have a trace of respect? The first two servants were talking softly about the masters, and Yang Jinzhou, under the guidance of a mother-in-law, had already arrived at the main room. He is a man, so naturally he can't go to bed and cry like Chen Lan", so he just bowed before the spirit according to the prayer, and then bowed again. Chen Ying just replied silently, while the three sons and four daughters in the third room on the side kowtowed and bowed back. This is also the first time Yang Jinzhou has seen the other three concubines in the third room, "Seeing that they are all a little old, his face was slightly condensed, and he didn't stay long, and left the house after a few words.

When he came to the Tatexiang Courtyard, Zhang's mother had already heard the news and was waiting in the hall, and led him in with a courteous face. After meeting Zhu, he looked in the direction of Chen Lan without waiting to sit down, but saw that her eyes were slightly swollen, "The spirit is also a little bad, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, but immediately heard Zhu speak, and sat up straight."

Zhu just casually asked two common sayings such as being busy with official business, and when she saw Yang Jin replied respectfully, "If you need help with the funeral, she shook her head: "Our family understands your kindness, but there are so many people up and down that you don't need to work hard as your husband and wife." Lan'er has been here to help all day, and you have taken her back to rest. If you have the kung fu tomorrow, you will come again, and if you don't have time, you will take care of your side first. ”

"Old lady" I am also a great servant, and I can still draw out the hard work in the past few days. ”

Glancing at Chen Lan who stood up, Zhu had no choice but to nod, "But he urged the two of them to go back earlier." Chen Lan couldn't, so he had to stand up and say goodbye" As Yang Jinzhou came out all the way, she remained silent from beginning to end, and Yang Jinzhou beside her didn't say a word, until she reached the second gate, the carriage she was riding in drove over, and the coachman moved the pedals down and placed them under the wheel, and when she was about to get into the car, someone behind her suddenly grabbed her hand.

"It's cold, I'll talk to you in the car."

When Aunt Liu, who was originally following behind, heard this, she lowered her eyelids after her initial surprise. When Yang Jinzhou helped Chen Lan get into the car, she suddenly said: "I came out in a hurry today, my wife's car in the past was not prepared, so I only took this spare car to come out." The furnishings are not complete, and the place is smaller than usual, the lord accompanies his wife in the car, and I ride a horse. ”

Chen Lan, who had already gotten into the car, couldn't help but lean out half of his body and come out: "You can sit down in the car, aunt don't be reluctant." ”

"Madame, don't underestimate me, don't say that this horse is slow, even if the horse is galloping, I can do it." Aunt Liu said and took the reins handed over by the servant on the side, stepped on the stirrup and jumped on the horse, her movements were chic and free, and after she got on the horse, she smiled and said, "The palace has rules, my dress is special, and it is okay to ride a horse, so Mrs. can rest assured." It's not early, it looks like it's about to snow, let's go back to the mirror garden as soon as possible, so as not to wait for the old lady for a long time. ”

Since Aunt Liu said this, Chen Lan was speechless, and Yang Jinzhou also nodded and turned around and got into the car. When the door was closed and the shutters were lowered, the carriage was suddenly darkened, and in a short time there was the sound of the wheels turning, and the carriage slowly moved forward with a slight bump. I don't know if it's because of this dim atmosphere, or because of the coldness in the carriage, Chen Lan naturally leaned on Yang Jinzhou, and almost talked in a whispering voice about the experience of coming to worship and mourn today. From beginning to end, Yang Jinzhou just listened quietly, even when he heard Wu's mother's words, he didn't interject to comment.

It wasn't until Chen Lan finished speaking that the whole person was completely relaxed and leaned into his arms, and he hugged her tightly: ", the strange thing is that even the master of ceremonies, Gonggong Qu, once said that Chen Ying, the Marquis of Yangning, was ruthless, and I paid for a lot of killings, but I would never do this to my loved ones." If it was really him who let out the news through King Huai provoke that pair of foolish husbands and fools to come and make trouble, and as a result, his wife died depressed, and there was nothing that such a man could not do! ”

"You're right, that's why I'm scared." Chen Lan unconsciously clenched his hands, as if this would drive away the chill that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, "After understanding the hidden message in Mother Wu's words, I only felt extremely afraid. used to deal with him in the past, if he also used such ruthless methods now, maybe this family would have to add a few more lives! After all, it was the person who shared the bed with him and raised his son for him, could he be so ruthless? ”

Yang Jinzhou was silent for a moment, and hugged Chen Lan tighter: "I heard my mother say that when my grandmother was pregnant with my father, my grandfather indulged in sex all day long, and carried three aunts in one go, and there were no less than seven or eight girls involved. In order to be able to give birth to this child smoothly, the grandmother ignored everything and endured all the anger, but unexpectedly, the girl got the benefits of others and gave her too many nourishing things, so the child was too big and had a difficult birth during childbirth. In the end, her father was saved, but she was ...... Therefore, when I was sensible, my father told me that marrying a wife is a lifelong thing, and when you remove your hijab, you have to take responsibility for a lifetime, this is a man! ”

"It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to see my father-in-law and his old man,"

Chen Lan only felt that the big hand was holding his soft tightly, and at the same time, his mood was agitated, but he also had a deep respect for his father-in-law Yang Qi, and the huge impact that Chen Ying caused to himself finally faded. After calming down for a while, she smiled bitterly and said: "Although Mother Wu said so, it is her side of the story after all, and there is nothing to verify on the side of Guangning Bo and his wife, and it is difficult to do anything now." And today, according to the meaning of Han Gong, the third uncle still pinched him a lot of handles. These mistakes can't bring down the Korean duke, but they can make him disgraced, and he can't stop the Ma military camp. ”

Chewing on Chen Lan's words, thinking of the news he got in the afternoon, Yang Jinzhou was a little hesitant.

I didn't want to say it to his wife next to him, but after thinking about it, he still decided to tell it.

On the side of King Huai's uncle Li Zheng, Jinyiwei found out several crimes, but the only conclusive one was temporarily shelved because of the fire in the charcoal basin in the three rooms where the Ministry of Industry kept the account books. But Gonggong Qu, who has always taken care of Jinyiwei, handed me a message today, saying that the old lady of the Li family had got carried away and said a word when he was at a banquet at home a few days ago. There is a top Houmen lord in the capital, who is willing to marry his daughter to his stupid and tyrannical young son. ”

What does that mean!

Chen Lan was stunned for a moment. There are only a few nobles in Jingshi who can be called the top nobles now, and if you want to add the word Houmen, maybe only Yangning Hou Mei can be counted as the number, but only Chen Xi, who still has a marriage contract, is left in the family...... However, when she thought of the concubine Liuniang Baniang Jiuniang who had a weak sense of existence in the third room, her face changed suddenly.

"As long as the three-year filial piety period is kept for twenty-seven months, after that, Liuniang's age is not much different!"

Rotten face alley in the outer city, Guanyin Nunnery.

Compared with dozens of Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in the entire outer city, this Guanyin Nunnery covers an area of only two or three acres, and there are more than a dozen female nuns in total. However, on this day, there were several men in this nunnery with only nuns. At this moment, the man in the black hat at the head gestured to the entourage behind him, and then entered the door of the house.

Although it was dark outside, it was still much brighter than in the unlit room. Therefore, when he first entered the house, even if he squinted his eyes, he could not help but see his surroundings clearly, so he instinctively pressed the sword on his waist.

"This king has come as promised, if you hide it again, don't blame this king for flicking his sleeves and leaving!"

As soon as the words fell, a faint voice came from the corner: "If Your Highness has been so impatient all the time, no matter how hard you calculate, the great position will not fall on you." ”
