Chapter 47: One Step to the Sky
On the way home, Chen Bing sat alone in the car he came. Chen Xi was also alone, and Su Wan'er knew that none of the two were easy to get along with, so she naturally followed Chen Lan as usual.
Today's trip to the palace gave Su Wan'er a big shock, even if the food and clothing in the Hou Mansion in the past two days had already given her a taste of wealth and wealth, but after all, it was not comparable to the palace. When she thought that others could live in eight seats and call Bainuo, but she could only compromise, she felt that her heart was very uncomfortable. But the more this is the case, the more she talks to Chen Lan with her spirit.
"Third sister, thank you so much today, if it weren't for you speaking for me several times and maintaining it in every possible way, I'm afraid that I will inevitably make some jokes when I experience this kind of scene for the first time. It's just that the second sister and the fifth sister must not have any intentions, but they didn't think about it when they spoke. After all, it was at the second gate of the palace just now, and there were still people outside......"
Su Wan'er chattered, but Chen Lan didn't pay attention at all. It's time for her to remind her, if Su Wan'er still hasn't woken up, then she doesn't want to waste her efforts. Thinking of the hostility that suddenly appeared when Luo Xu said that at that time, and the relief when he heard his perfunctory words, Chen Lan didn't know why this happened to him. Suddenly, I was very uninterested in Luo Xu's sudden appearance. It's just a one-sided relationship, so why pretend to be familiar?
She gently opened the curtain next to her, and when she saw that the sun was shining outside, she couldn't help but think of Zhang Huixin. It is only under the pampering and care of her parents that she will have such a love of talking and laughing, but unfortunately, she had to be alone in the end of her last life, and there are still too many burdens in this life, and she can't learn that sunshine.
Suddenly, she heard a loud shout from the street, followed by two riders galloping by, and for a while, whether it was her car or the rest of the cars and horses on the side of the road, they stopped and gave way. It wasn't until the carriage stopped on the side of the road, and the coachman came up in fear to tell that it was the Jinyi guard who had escorted the prisoner through, that she understood, and hurriedly raised the curtains a little higher.
Suddenly, a column of three carriages roared through the street under the hugs of dozens of riders, and the big red coat of the man at the front was blown high by the oncoming wind, revealing the bright brocade clothes underneath, and puffs of smoke and dust rolled up under the horses' hooves. Chen Lan hurriedly lowered the curtains, but heard the coachman's cough from outside, followed by a burst of complaints.
"What's the publicity, isn't it just a kid who has reached the sky in one step?"
Hearing the words "One Step to the Sky", Chen Lan remembered coldly that the Zhu family had asked Yang Jinzhou if he was from the Yang family of Runing Bo, and then Yang Jinzhou's performance today as if a divine soldier had descended from the sky also appeared in her mind. But it's a little strange to think about it. At this time, the two drivers who were driving back on the road whispered.
"Old Seven, how do you know that he has ascended to the sky in one step?"
"Ahem, you don't know, do you? The commander of this Jinyi Guard's Yang was a thousand households in Xinghe Fort before, because the heroic killing of the enemy happened to be reported, and the emperor summoned him when he toured the Xuanfu in the north last summer, and he didn't know where he was involved, but he was promoted to be a Jinyi Guard, and he also managed the Beizhen Fusi. The commander of the Jinyi Guard made Liu Dashuai and several commanders feel tired of it, but the saints are just right, and they don't dare to do anything. ”
"Do you know such a secret message?"
"Hey, my brother has to be used in front of the old lady...... cough, don't talk about this, hurry up and get on the road, it's too late to go back to the house and blame it......"
Although the whispers outside were gone, these few words provided a lot of information. The Zhu family must have asked people to inquire about Yang Jinzhou, if it is purely for the case of the second uncle Chen Jiu, it seems to make no sense, after all, just because the second uncle Chen Jiu calculated the family's property and the family wealth in the hands of the Zhu family, the Zhu family could not care much about his affairs. Moreover, if you want to find out, you should also inquire into the emperor's mind, and what should you do to find out the origin of a brocade guard?
After thinking about it, Chen Lan had to throw away the matter first, after all, the first thing to solve now was whether and how to say the scene in the grass pavilion. She can't be lucky to think that this news can really be completely covered, Zhang Huixin still has a mother to rely on, but she can't take risks. Now that you see it, the corresponding consequences will come to your door......
Time passed in her contemplation, and in the blink of an eye, the Yangning Marquis Mansion had arrived. However, when he was untying the mule, someone gently knocked on the wall of the board. Chen Lan, who was shocked, glanced at Hongluo, who immediately moved forward and poked his head out, retracted his head after whispering a few words, turned his head to look at her and said, "Miss, the second lady of the Korean government sent a mother, saying that she was ordered to deliver something to Miss." When the old lady heard about it, she had already invited people in. ”
The second lady of the Korean government? Zhang Huixin? Yes, the Korean Mansion is close to the Jin Palace, plus they were delayed for a while by Luo Xu, the prince of Weiguo, at the second gate, and they were delayed by Yang Jinzhou's Jinyi and his party on the road, so Zhang Huixin should have arrived home early. Only now will I send someone to deliver something...... Could it be that she has already told the county lord of Yixing?
Chen Lan pondered for a moment, and was not surprised that the Zhu family had invited that mother to the Tatexiang Courtyard. After all, in the door of the mansion, it is the close friends in the boudoir who send people, and it is not easy to see it, so it has to be reported to the elders. And the Zhu family will invite people over, just because the people are from the Korean government. I also respect the lord of Yixing. When the car arrived at the second gate, she and Su Wan'er got out of the car, and when they saw Chen Bing and Chen Xi also getting out of the car, they said to them: "Let's go to the Tatexiang Courtyard to see the old lady first." ”
After going home, he should go to see the elders first, which is right, so even if Chen Bing didn't want to go through this experience, he only nodded reluctantly. So, a group of four people went straight to Tateka-in. As soon as he entered the main hall and passed through the bead curtain, Chen Lan saw a brocade pier on the lower left side of Zhu's warm couch, and a middle-aged mother was sitting steadily, with her waist straight. I saw her dark blue jacket, a simple bun on her head, and no jewelry on her body, but she didn't show a little shabby.
Seeing the four young ladies outside come in to salute the Zhu family, the mother hurriedly stood up and saw it. Zhu pointed at Chen Lan and explained to her with a smile: "This is the third girl in my family, when I went to the Korean Mansion when I was a child, I had a good time with Huixin, I didn't expect that after many years, Huixin would still be good with her." If you young lady have anything to say, you can tell her directly, and I, the old woman, will not listen. ”
Mrs. Tai smiled. It's really my young lady's big temper, and other girls can't see it, so it's rare to meet a deed, even the county lord is happy. said that it was to send something, and as soon as I got home, I couldn't wait to turn over the cage, and I was beaten by the county lord and said. The mother smiled and pointed to a box next to her, before she stepped forward and curtsied to Chen Lan, "If my young lady says something wrong today, please take care of the third lady." ”
"Mom's words are serious, and I also love Sister Huixin's straightforward temper."
Chen Lan said with a smile. Seeing Zhu Shi nodding at himself, his heart suddenly settled. Before deciding whether to explain today's events to the Zhu family, it is better to listen to what arrangements the county lord of Yixing has than to spend her energy and meditate on her own.
So, she bowed to the Zhu family and said goodbye, and no matter what Chen Bing, Chen Xi and Su Wan'er in the room were going to say, she withdrew directly with the mother. Outside, she took a deep breath of cold air as she descended the steps, and when she unconsciously looked sideways, she saw that the mother was also looking at her.
"I don't know my mother's name......"
"Third Miss just call me Zhao An's family."
"It turned out to be Mother Zhao."
Although Zhao's mother didn't dare to say anything, Chen Lan still called it like this. On the way back to the Splendid Pavilion, she only told Zhao's mother about some of the situations where she met Zhang Huixin in the palace today, and when she saw that the other party listened very carefully, she knew that she had done the right thing. Just by the name of the Korean government and the lord of Yixing, looking at the flattery of many people in Shuimeng Pavilion at that time, you should understand that no matter what Zhang Huixin's temper is, there will be no shortage of playmates. But she doesn't seem to have anyone particularly close to her, if it weren't for the arrangement and teaching of the county lord of Yixing, then she really couldn't find any other possibility.
When he arrived at the main room of the Splendid Pavilion, Chen Lan invited Zhao's mother to sit on the warm kang in the east room, asked people to bring tea, and motioned to Hongluo and Qin Fang to bring everyone else down. Seeing that there were no outsiders, she took away her faint smile, and when she got off the kang, she sincerely saluted Zhao's mother and said, "Mom came here, but what does the county lord have to say?" ”
Since the young ladies of the Chen family entered the main hall, Zhao's mother has been looking at Chen Lan, seeing that his demeanor is down-to-earth and generous, and his words along the way are also pertinent, without deliberate flattery, nor clumsy self-restraint, at this time, she is even more straightforward to ask for advice, she thought that the young lady was really the right person, and hurriedly helped Chen Lan up.
"The third lady is serious, the county lord just asked me to carry a few words, but I don't dare to say anything to mention." Zhao's mother is the confidant of the county lord of Yixing, and when Zhang Huixin told her mother the whole story, she was always on the side. Therefore, he knew where the joints of this matter were, and after a little thought, he said in the original words, "The county lord said that she already knows about today's matter, and the stakes are very high, since that Commander Yang asked you not to make a noise, and there is indeed no one else to see, then the third young lady might as well hide it in her heart, and there is no need to say it to anyone, even Mrs. Tai." She has already gone to the palace, and she will block everything first, and if there is any obstacle, she will also let people inform the third lady. In addition, no matter what, it was thanks to the third lady who stopped the assassin at that time, and she would definitely repay this kindness. ”
Chen Lan listened and thought about it, and he was a little embarrassed about the temperament of the Yixing county lord in his heart: "At that time, I was actually the master of the six gods, but I just happened to have something at hand, so I talked about personnel and said that it would be too embarrassing for me to say anything." ”
"At that critical juncture, being able to think about saving yourself is already the first-class reaction, not to mention that the third lady can still remember to pull two people? King Zhou looks stupid to outsiders, but he is the prince that the emperor likes very much, if there is really any mistake, it will be chaos in Beijing for a while. Mother Zhao shook her head with palpitations, and when she saw that Chen Lan was taken aback, she smiled and said, "Third Miss doesn't need to be nervous, and there are not so many problems now." This time there is nothing to do, even the virtuous concubine in the palace will breathe a sigh of relief. It's just that there may be a will in the palace, so it's good to have a preparation in your heart. ”
PS: Sixty votes plus more to send ...... In other words, I will go out to the hot springs tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so there is only a guaranteed 3,000-word update in the past two days, and I will try my best to make up for the pink ticket when I come back. After double, I should be able to take a break, and I've been almost crazy lately
