Two doors.

"There was an old rule in the house, and servants who did not have a job were not allowed to enter the second door, do you understand the rules? Don't say it's the third lady, even the three ancestors! Something is going on in the house now, but that can't break the old rules. If a few young ladies are young, and if the old people who know the rules still don't care, there will be more and more unification up and down......"

Zhu mother was not a good temperament in the first place, and at this moment put on a shelf, Rao is those who think that the second room must be in decline, and she was also reprimanded by her for a moment, and the Chu Sijia are angry and anxious, and they have the strength to be angry, but they are far from arguing, and they opened their mouths a few times, and they were blocked back without saying two words, and they couldn't advance or retreat for a while.

"Mother Zhu thinks that our sisters and a few housekeepers have managed this huge Hou Mansion indecently?"

Just when Zhu's mother sneered and was about to say a few cruel words, she suddenly heard such a faint voice from behind, and when she turned around, she saw Chen Lan standing there with a cold face. If she had been in the past, she would not have taken this helpless young lady in the long room in her eyes, but now that the second room has lost her title, and Chen Lan is winning the favor of the Zhu family, she has to restrain her arrogance a little. But after all, she has lost face a lot in the past few days, and today she intends to deter those who are two-faced and stabbed, so she refuses to retreat easily.

"The third lady said with a smile, how dare I say that? It's just that the rules at home are ......."

"Rules? I wish my mother to talk about the rules, I also want to ask, these old families will follow the old Hou Ye on the battlefield in the past, where did they go a few years ago? Seeing that Zhu's mother was speechless for a while, Chen Lan took two steps forward, although his tone was flat, but there was an unquestionable sharpness, "Since the rules can be ignored, now that they have received the old lady's reward, and the children in the family have an errand, they come to the house to kowtow to the old lady, it is naturally the affection of the master and servant, why do you stop it?" You are not a newcomer to the Hou Mansion, you know that something is going on at home, but you are born in these two doors and shouting, what kind of system is this? ”

Mother Zhu only felt that Chen Lan's temperament was supple and easy to manipulate in the past, and she first heard that she handled the affairs of the Chu Si family's family beautifully in the Water Mirror Hall, but she still refused to believe it, only thinking that it was the mention of the green calyx, and at this time, she was blocked by a few words and couldn't say a word, so she realized that it was amazing. She wanted to reply a few words, but seeing that Chen Lan had already come up step by step as she spoke, as if waiting for her to move, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

"What did the third lady say, I was also worried that my family would not be convinced......"

"The old lady is kind to the old family, who dares to disagree!"

Chen Lan brought the Zhu family out everywhere, plus Zhu Mother was already deflated, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who had just watched the excitement at the Hanging Flower Gate dared to say half a word more, and they all lowered their heads for a while. At this time, Chen Lan no longer paid attention to Mother Zhu, who was blue and white for a while, glanced at the women of the Chu Si family, and instructed Qin Fang without looking back: "In the future, remember that when you do things according to the old lady's instructions, don't be so shy and shy away!" ”

Mother Zhu's face became more and more ugly when she heard this, and when she saw that Chen Lan didn't pay attention to her anymore, she just gave a few instructions to the Chu Si family, and she was even more annoyed when she stood there, and she stomped her foot and left angrily. And the mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law at the door looked at the back of Zhu's mother leaving, and exchanged a look, and each other had a number in their hearts.

The second room really doesn't work, otherwise, how could my mother, who has always been the most arrogant, have such a day of lust and inwardness?

The children brought by the servants of the four families of Chu have all been seen by the housekeeper Liu Qing, the age is still in the general corner, and the eldest one is only twelve years old, but all of them are stout and sturdy, showing that they have a good foundation for practicing martial arts since childhood. At this time, because of my mother's orders, everyone was honestly kneeling on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads. Chen Lan originally wanted to bring people to the Zhu family, but when she was troubled by her mother just now, she changed her mind again.

If the Zhu family really pays attention to the generals at home, they will not let these people wander so far, then whether these children are strong in martial arts or sparse in kung fu, I am afraid they are all out of their minds. The reason why I agreed to her request was because I didn't want to make any trouble among the servants when something happened at home, and I was afraid that the third room would pull people over. Since this is the case, she simply let Chen Yan see these four companions, and just take them from the Chu four family to kowtow.

Thinking so, she looked at the sky, and asked a daughter-in-law to take the four companions to see the housekeeper Liu Qing, and when Chen Yan came back from the school, she saw them again, and then motioned for the four servants to go to the Tatexiang Courtyard with her. Walking on the road, she inevitably asked two sentences of homely things at random, and several people were grateful for her affection, and even the Chu Sijia, who was still a little limping when walking, was very grateful.

After asking them one by one, Chen Lan learned that several old family generals were all thin - after all, with the old marquis Chen Yongzhen guarding Gansu, they couldn't take their families, so among the four young companions, two of them were only seedlings, and the other two had only one sister. So, she thought about it for a moment, and promised that in the future, if the little girl in the house was vacant, she would try to make up for two, so that a few people would be grateful.

As Chen Lan expected, when they arrived at the East Warm Pavilion of the Tatexiang Courtyard, the Zhu family didn't care at all about these cowering servants, so they kowtowed and let them retreat, but left Chen Lan to talk for a while, and at the end of the day, he pointed to the west and said: "I promised Wan'er's grandmother, and let her follow you and the five girls to see and understand the day after tomorrow." ”

This was really unexpected, Chen Lan did not have any good impression of Su Wan'er's grandmother Chen, and it was hard to believe that Zhu would promise such a thing to Chen. It's just that seeing that Zhu didn't mean to explain, she agreed with a smile, and naturally mentioned the matter of choosing clothes for Su Wan'er.

"It's all a trivial matter, she's about the same size as your second sister, just a few pieces of clothes and jewelry, and it doesn't have to be too gorgeous. However, you have to dress up well, although there are things at home, and it is not interesting to compare with those daughters, but you can't be underestimated. Strive to behave decently and generously, don't find fault with others, you might as well follow your eldest cousin more, so that even if there are ugly words, they will not reach your ears. If you can......"

Zhu Shi paused suddenly, and finally didn't say the important sentence. Some things are still not told to her, although Chen Lan looks calm, but if there is something strange in his life, it is not beautiful. Therefore, she just accentuated her tone and said: "Remember, now that your second uncle has just lost his title, and he has no heirs, you are the concubine of the long house, so you must know the burden on your shoulders." Because of my sister and brother, most of Yan'er's future is on you. ”

Chen Lan respectfully agreed, and only when she met with the red snail who came to deliver the bonsai before and left the Lotus Courtyard together, did she show a slightly cold smile. Chen Yan is still young, even if he is lucky enough to inherit the title, as soon as she marries, he will become a puppet in the hands of the old lady, and I am afraid that he will have to put any future into it. It's just that I have to bring Su Wan'er the day after tomorrow, if it is just to show the old lady's pity for the old lady of the Hou Mansion, it will be too nonsense......

When passing by the Fangfei Pavilion, Chen Lan paused and asked Qin Fang to go in and inquire, knowing that Chen Yan had not come back yet. It was already the time of school now, and most of them stayed in the outer courtyard to see those companions, she thought about it for a while, and then sent Qin Fang to the second gate to inquire again, and only took the red snail back to the Splendid Pavilion.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Chen Yan rushed in, without saying a word, picked up a cup of tea that was almost cold and drank it bitterly, and then sat down opposite Chen Lan with a mouthful, and said excitedly: "Sister, thank you so much, those four companions are amazing!" At about the same age as me, one can lift a forty-pound stone lock, and a dance stick can not be splashed with water, sister, you talk to the old lady, and choose a martial artist for me! ”

Looking at Chen Yan like that, Chen Lan pursed his lips and smiled: "What about the school?" ”

"Go to the academy too, practice martial arts too!" Chen Yan clenched his fists seriously, and said word by word, "I don't want to be all-round in civil and military affairs, I just hope that I can be useful in the future when I become an official and be able to protect the two of us!" ”

"Good!" Chen Lan finally let go of the heavy stone in his heart and nodded heavily, "Since you have a heart, I will take care of this matter for you." There is only one rule, no matter whether you practice literature or practice martial arts, you are not allowed to give up halfway! ”

"Sister, don't worry!"
