At the end of the year, most of the pedestrians on the road are in a hurry, and in the evening, there are few people walking around the streets and alleys. This book is from --\G Therefore, seeing that it was already dark, and the lantern was hanging on the gate of the west corner of the mirror garden, I suddenly saw a car coming from afar, and the two porters looked around, and immediately one went in to report, and the other hurried down the steps to greet him.

When the carriage came near, the door opened, and a figure leaped down with agility, and then opened the curtain with one hand. Although he was startled by this sudden movement, but when he saw the person sitting in the car, the porter's eyes widened suddenly, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stammered: "Xia ...... Father-in-law Xia. ”

"What, look at our family, aren't you welcome?" , Eunuch Xia poked his head out and took a look, then sat back and said, "Don't worry, our family is not here to deliver the decree, just come here to take a look." Of course, several ladies in the palace also had something for me to bring, and even the emperor pointed out that I would go back and talk about Mrs. Yang's situation. The porter was still stunned, and the chief steward Deming had already trotted out to greet him. After saluting, he hurriedly led the carriage through the West Corner Gate, and waited until he entered along the Yongdao, where the car stopped at the second gate, and Aunt Yun was already waiting there. Because they are all acquaintances, they naturally avoid clichés such as greetings with their wives, and Eunuch Xia casually ordered the little eunuch who accompanied him to wait outside, and gave the same things to the chief manager Deming to look at the warehouse, and he held a crockpot casually, and followed Aunt Yun all the way in. Halfway through, he suddenly stopped, looked at Aunt Yun and asked abruptly.

"Do you have any message from Gonggong Qu?" , "Father-in-law Qu? Aunt Yun raised her eyebrows in surprise, then shook her head and said, "I haven't seen it twice even in Jiangnan, and Gonggong Qu has never spoken to me since he came to see adults or madams for official business." ”

"I see." Eunuch Xia started to continue walking, and when he noticed that Aunt Yun had been looking at him, he waved his hand and smiled, "It's not a big deal, it's Gonggong Qu's legacy to the emperor's son." The thing arrived after the morning today, and the emperor has been in a bad mood since he saw it. It's also that this thing came too suddenly, and no one was prepared, not to mention that he, like me, has been serving since the time of the domain, and now that the old people have passed away one by one, the emperor is inevitably sentimental. "Ah, Gonggong Qu actually ......" Aunt Yun couldn't help but exclaim, and then realized that this was not the place to speak, and smiled apologetically, only then did she lower her voice and said, "Gonggong Xia forgives me, I really didn't expect Gonggong Qu to pass away suddenly." Among the cronies around the emperor, he looks stronger than you, no matter how you look, he can live past eighty. "Who's to say it's not? Seeing that it is almost time to cherish the blessings, the dialogue between the two will come to an end for the time being. Eunuch Xia saw the Jiang family, and after greeting him, he smiled and put down the things in his hand, saying that when Imperial Doctor Lin of the Tai Hospital came to diagnose Jiang's pulse before, he went back to specially prescribe a tonic ointment, because he had not been available until now to send the things over. Jiang Shi thanked him repeatedly, and learned that Concubine Shu, Guifei, and Concubine Xian had all rewarded a lot of things and did not let them thank her, so she asked Gonggong Xia to convey her thanks, and said that she would definitely enter the palace after her body recovered after the year. After thinking like this for a while, Eunuch Xia took his leave and went to the Yiqing Pavilion.

Even if Eunuch Xia is a eunuch in the back house, there is no reason to move around casually, but Chen Lan is now inconvenient to move around, the Jiang family is not in good health, and Fu Du is not an outsider, so Aunt Yun led all the way, and the girl and the young daughter-in-law avoided it, but she didn't bump into anyone. When Eunuch Xia entered the room where the earth dragon was burning again from the icy and snowy outside, he took off his outer hat three or two times, and immediately beat the shoulders on both sides.

"People are useless when they are old, so cold and hot toss a few times, the waist and legs are so sore that I can't stand it, and the emperor still doesn't allow our family to tell the old."

Before Eunuch Xia stopped, he heard a pleasant laugh coming from inside: "If I am old and have muscles like Grandpa Xia, it will be too late to be happy, and you will still complain." ”

Knowing that Chen Lan was behind the Bisha cupboard, Eunuch Xia didn't say much, and immediately followed Aunt Yun in. After meeting, Chen Lan naturally followed up on the topic just now, and quipped: "Who doesn't know that your body is the most robust, isn't that a person who should take medicine and eat like me just now?" On a cold day, pour well water and snow water on your body, except for those iron-beaten men in the army, who else is in better health than you? You are still old, what should you do if you are old? "Okay, okay, even if our family said the wrong thing, Mrs. has a lot, forgive our family this time!" Father-in-law Xia smiled heartily, arched his hands and sat down, and saw that Aunt Yun and Aunt Liu, who had just stood beside Chen Lan, had retreated together, so he asked Chen Lan about his current situation with concern, and then said, "Our family came over today, saying that several ladies brought things over, but in fact, the most important thing is for Concubine Luo." The concubine Niangniang took Miss Chen Wu to the palace yesterday, and today the emperor simply sent someone to Yiyuan, and brought Luo Shuren to the palace before our family came out, the concubine Niangnianghuan inquired about the emperor's current body and mood, and she was probably going to ask the emperor to come forward. Chen Lan frowned, thinking that Chen Xi was a smart person, and he would never even catch the idea of his father and King Jin's deal, not to save Chen Ying's face, but more importantly, for his own reputation.

So, she sighed the next moment, shook her head and said, "Although the fifth sister has two parents, Aunt Luo listens to the third uncle for everything, but she is not as good as me and the fourth." ”

"That's right, but the concubine Niangniang's temperament is really eager, when we went to our house, she actually persuaded Luo Shuren in front of me to simply make a break with Yang Yuhou. With the name of the Weiguo Mansion, it may not be impossible to find a better match. As a result, our family was interrupted by the side, and the concubine gave up, but Luo Shuren still hugged Miss Wu and cried as if she was crying, and our family didn't look like that, so she hurriedly avoided it. Eunuch Xia couldn't help but shake his head again and again when he talked about the situation at that time, "To say that in the past few days, the wall of Yangninghou has fallen and everyone has pushed it, and the impeachment has not been interrupted again and again, and the family has made such a fuss, which is inevitably a joke." It's just that if you want to say that Luo Shuren was canonized by the emperor's decree after all, it really made a fuss, and the emperor's face was gloomy. ”

Thinking of a holy decree that made Aunt Luo extremely happy at that time, but now it has become something that cannot be shaken off, Chen Lan was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "It's hard to say it now, these words are too early. It's just that the emperor has long been dissatisfied with the third uncle, otherwise, the third uncle would definitely not just reward the gold and silver and return to Suzhou. ”

Although this is straightforward, Eunuch Xia and the Yang family have experienced a lot of secret things, and they feel that Chen Lan's outspokenness is right to the spleen and stomach, so he smiled and said: "Yang Ninghou has done a lot of things, and he doesn't know it, so he hasn't thought about the emperor's temperament!" By the way, cough, look at my memory, all these trivial things are taken out to show off, and the important things haven't been said yet. Before, for the matter of King Jin's step-concubine, didn't the Ministry of Rites toss for a while? At that time, because Prince Jin's income was thin, he also ordered two wives, but they didn't want them before. Now there was a rumor that the Fei family was dissatisfied with the fact that the step-concubine had to take the two ladies with them when she entered the door, so they were very dissatisfied, so they made up such a thing! "And such rumors? Chen Lan thought of the words sent by Xiao Lang before, and his heart moved, and then he asked curiously, "Where did the wind come from?" "It seems that Madame really doesn't know. Eunuch Xia's face was a little strange, and he looked at Chen Lan for a while, and then he smiled dryly, "It was the eldest princess of Anguo who said this when she was talking to people, and she also said that if she was the young lady of the Fei family, it would definitely be like this." Just because this is the words of the eldest princess of Anguo, the news spreads faster than anything else, and it is expected that His Royal Highness King Jin is anxious! I didn't expect my godmother to come out and intervene! Chen Lan only felt that his heart was full of joy, and his face unconsciously brought it out: "Mother is this kind of character, she will say whatever she thinks, and she is not afraid that others will spread her words all over the city!" ”

"Yes, it's also a loss to Master Zhang, and other men are afraid that they can't afford it."

Behind the criticism of the eldest princess of the hall, Eunuch Xia naturally has a temperance, so he won't mention it anymore. It's just that he doesn't have so many scruples about the movements of the King of Jin, from the people in the palace of the King of Jin to blame at every turn, to the fact that the King of Jin was sick at home for two days and did not appear in front of people, and then to the prince who came to visit and was turned away...... All in all, everything was said again, and when he saw Chen Lanxin's leadership meeting, he smiled and said at the end: "Actually, our family is also nosy." At our age, no matter how good our health is, we can't work for long. It's just that when you get old, you always have to think about the future. Otherwise, like Gonggong Qu, who has worked hard all his life, and then withdrew and returned to the west after a break of less than two years, what does it mean? ”

"What did you say, Gonggong Xia, Gonggong Qu is dead?" , Chen Lan's surprise was not trivial, and when Eunuch Xia nodded affirmatively, and said that everyone had been buried at sea, she couldn't help but lean back a little distractedly, thinking of the eunuch who was full of mysteries. Until now, she still couldn't be sure of his true identity and purpose, but such a person passed away so lightly and coincidentally, and disappeared into this world without a trace?

However, he wrote a letter to the emperor sprinkled with 10,000 words, and the emperor looked at it in the study for a whole afternoon, and when we went in, we found that there were ashes left in the brazier. Alas, in the end, it is a love affair for many years, which is not ordinary. When he sent off Father-in-law Xia, it was not early, Chen Lan sent someone to greet the Jiang family, and went to bed to rest, but he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning. It was about too much turning over that made Aunt Yun and the others worry about it, and she didn't know when she lit the Ning Shen incense, so she gradually fell asleep. However, early the next morning, Chen Yan specially sent someone over to carry a letter.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Mrs. Zhu of Yangning Marquis is going to Wuling Bofu!! ~！
