Although the Jingshi is only more than 100 miles away from the Mongolian hinterland in the north, the Chu Dynasty has not been beaten to the city by the Mongols for more than 100 years. Therefore, although there are sporadic military information from north to south all year round, it is rare to have an urgent military situation report of 800 miles in several years.

At this moment, the pedestrians in the streets avoided each other, and when the two riders galloped away one after another, they suddenly disappeared from sight, and the street resumed its previous bustle and noise, as if nothing had happened. Seeing Chen Lan standing there, the shopkeeper seemed to be a little stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "Third Miss, don't worry, although it is rare to rush eight hundred miles, it is expected that either something has gone wrong in the south, or which fort in the north has been besieged by the Tartars." ”

The tent on the side also helped: "The barbarians in the south often make trouble, but as soon as the army goes, it stops immediately, and it is just a small fight." As for the north, not to mention, it is not that there have been no figures who have unified all the Mongolian tribes before, but they still can't break through the most cutting-edge forts, after all, there is the clairvoyance left by the grandfather at the beginning, and it is the most effective to cut off people's back roads. Unless the Tartars have lost their minds, they will definitely not attack in a big way. ”

Even if Chen Lan is a human being in two lives, he was not the person who paid the most attention to military geography in the past, and now he just thought that King Jin and Chen Ying went to Xuanfu to investigate the case, and suddenly there was an urgent military report of eight hundred miles, would there be any connection between it, therefore, the shopkeeper and the account room next to her explained one after another, and she nodded thoughtfully.

Just then, another sedan was parked in front of the steps. The middle-aged woman stood still motionless, and suddenly said to the servant woman next to her: "Look at the color of the battle jacket, it should be from Xuanda's side, isn't it Xinghe, what kind of war is there?" ”

Chen Lan couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, but at this moment, the red snail beside her had already reminded her to get into the car, so she only glanced over there again, and then lowered her head and got into the car. In the dim carriage, Su Wan'er seemed to have not moved for more than half an hour, and when she saw her come up, she only nodded slightly to be considered a full courtesy, and then she was stunned again. Seeing this, she was happy to sit and think about it, and she didn't even notice that the car had begun to move slowly.

Chen Lan and his entourage left in this compartment, and the middle-aged woman with a servant woman in the compartment was also ready to get into the car. The servant woman smiled and helped the middle-aged woman down the steps, and said in her mouth: "Even if it is the military situation over there, now we don't live in Xuanfu anymore, and the adults have also been transferred back, why should the old lady worry about this stubble?" Besides, the soldiers over there are strong and strong, which time did the Tartars curry favor? ”

"Which one? The previous time, if it wasn't for the soldiers fighting with their lives, and the reinforcements arrived in time, maybe they would have fallen into it entirely" The middle-aged woman shook her head disapprovingly, sighed again and said, "Although we are not there now, we have lived there for so many years after all, and he has been working there for many years. Alas, if you ask someone to inquire about it, it will always be more reassuring to have a number......"

Since there were several other shops in the house on Qianmen Street, Chen Lan went around as if he was dotting, and he didn't rush back until noon. Maybe it's to take advantage of the auspiciousness of the imperial examination, or maybe March 17 is really an auspicious day for the zodiac on the yellow calendar, on this day, there are several shops on Qianmen Street that are open for business, and you can hear a burst of artillery before you go far. The sound was so loud that the driver had to slow down so as not to frighten the mule. Chen Yan's mount was a well-trained horse from the Hou Mansion, and Chu Ping hurriedly put on earmuffs, and walked quite steadily, but there were not a few mules and horses on the street who were frightened and neighed.

Even Chen Lan, who bowed his head and groaned, couldn't help but open a crack in the curtain and look out, and saw that a shop over there that had finished the artillery battle was presided over by a brightly dressed shopkeeper, and unveiled the gold-lettered signboard on it, which was a silk village, and he couldn't help frowning slightly. After walking for a while, she found that the newly opened shops were almost all silk and cloth shops, so she immediately asked the coachman to stop the car, called Chen Yan over, and whispered a lot of instructions to him.

The car stopped on the side of the road for about a quarter of an hour, and Chen Yan turned around. This time, seeing Su Wan'er sitting at the end in a daze, he simply got into the car and whispered to Chen Lan.

"Sister, I found a small teahouse to go in according to your instructions, gave the young man a few copper plates, and inquired about them. In these newly opened shops, the two silk villages are the property of Guangning Bofu, which were cashed out on the second day of the old uncle's death, and the people who took over are said to be related to Li Shuyuan's maiden family, and they may have paid tribute to King Huai. A medicine store is opened by Weiguo Gongluo's family, and it deals in Yunnan's gastrodia notoginseng and other special medicinal materials. The two cloth shops said that they belonged to Runingbo's Mansion, but the guy said mysteriously that it was a dowry for the fourth lady of the Yang family. As for the rest, there are also such and such backers. ”

Official-business...... Sure enough, at the feet of this son of heaven, if there is no escort from the powerful, don't think about running the industry at all

Chen Lan was just a whim, but the result at this time made her extremely vigilant. After delaying for so long, she didn't ask any more, and immediately asked Chen Yan to get out of the car, and then told the coachman to leave and go straight home. When she entered Zhengyangmen, turned all the way along Jiangmi Lane to Xuanwumen Street, and finally entered Yangning Street from Chonghefang, she noticed that the speed of the car suddenly slowed down.

"Miss, it seems that something is wrong, there are about dozens of soldiers at the gate of our Hou Mansion."

Hearing the coachman say this, Chen Lan couldn't help but be taken aback, and then fell silent. When the car slowly approached, she heard the sound of Chen Yan and people talking outside, but the voices on both sides were still loud at first, and gradually she couldn't hear clearly. She was puzzled and anxious, and the left curtain was opened, and Chen Yan outside bent down on horseback and came over.

"Sister, it's Jinyiwei. It is said that it is an urgent report today, and somehow there is a Tatar who has entered the capital, and now he has been ordered to protect the mansions of the nobles and high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Justice. The leader of the team was a hundred households, and he refused to say anything else. Chen Yan said, his face also showed a little frightened, and his voice was lowered by three points, "Why don't I go and ask some money carefully?" ”

"No need, since people have already said that they have been ordered by the Holy Order, it is not appropriate to inquire again and again." Chen Lan took a deep breath, and seeing that Chen Yan's expression was unconcealable, she slowed down her tone and said, "Don't think nonsense, you must know that there was an emergency military report horse galloping past Qianmen Street before." Don't delay, let's go straight to the house. ”

Su Wan'er said that she was annoyed that her brother only got the top three, but she was never a person who was willing to be inferior, as early as Chen Lan and Chen Yan entered the silk village for a while, she figured it out. Later, when she sat and waited there, she couldn't help but wonder if the reason why the two siblings went out today was not to look at the list, but to go outside to inspect the family's property. Therefore, when Chen Lan and his entourage actually delayed for more than half an hour before coming out, she was even more convinced of this, and she had to secretly observe and pay attention along the way. Whether it was Chen Lan instructing Chen Yan to inquire about the situation of those shops, or the instructions at this time, it made her realize a fact.

It seems that Chen Lan is really worthy of the right-hand man of Mrs. Yangning

The car entered the Hou Mansion from the West Corner Gate, and finally stopped at the second gate, Chen Lan got out of the car and saw more than a dozen servants coming out, many of them were the daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law who were in charge, and they were not the mothers-in-law on duty at the second gate at all. Seeing that although they said that they were smiling strongly, but their behavior was panicked, she lowered her face and said: "It's not the first time I've seen the Jinyi guards, now they are just guarding outside the door, and they haven't entered the house, what should they do if they are nervous, and when the sky falls, there will naturally be tall people on top."

This sharp rebuke made Yiying people and others a little embarrassed, and they only saw that Chen Lan was calm and composed. Remembering that it was clear that the old lady was seriously ill and couldn't speak, the third master Chen Ying had the upper hand, but in the end, someone from the palace came, and the third master went to Xuanfu as a deputy minister, and in a blink of an eye, he took back a city, and everyone who looked at each other hurriedly dispersed.

Chen Yan, who was behind, saw that Chen Lan suppressed the scene in just a few words, and his little eyes couldn't help but shine, while Su Wan'er was flickering. Only at this moment, Chen Lan couldn't take care of the two of them, and immediately went straight to the Tatexiang Courtyard. As soon as she entered the main door, she happened to see the green calyx coming out of the inner room. As soon as he saw her, Green Calyx immediately raised his eyebrows and hurriedly pulled her to the corner.

"Third Miss, you are back, I don't dare to report to the old lady"

Chen Lan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the Zhu family didn't know, and then asked, "Then does Mother Zheng know about this?" ”

"It's that after Mother Zheng heard about it, she strictly told us not to let the old lady know."

Knowing this, Chen Lan groaned slightly, and when Chen Yan came in, the two of them followed the green calyx into the east room. Zhu on the kang is crooked, Zheng's mother is peeling melon seeds on the side, she stepped forward and saluted, saw Zhu pointed to the edge of the kang to let herself sit down, she first said the situation of going out today, and finally mentioned the 800-mile expedited army intelligence horse encountered on Qianmen Street, and said that some people next to him said that it was like a Xuanda newspaper horse. After saying this, she paused, and found that Zhu's brows were frowning slightly, and she spoke again.

"When I came back, there was already a brocade guard in front of the door, saying that there was a Tartar fine work into the capital......"

"Three Misses"

When Zheng's mother heard that Chen Lan had told her what she had painstakingly hidden, she couldn't hold back anymore. However, she hurriedly screamed, and saw Zhu's sharp eyes sweeping over, and she was shocked and angry, but when it came to the prevarication on the side of her mouth, she couldn't continue. Seeing that Chen Lan called Chen Yan forward again, and asked him to repeat what the hundred households led by Jinyiwei said, and then slowly explained that Jinyiwei was not the first time to come to the door, and she would wait to see it tomorrow, Zhu Shi actually nodded lightly, and she was suddenly even more confused. Immediately after seeing Chen Lan talk about the changes in the shops on Qianmen Street, her fist loosened and clenched, clenched and loosened, and finally only a complicated expression remained.

Unexpectedly, the old lady now has such trust in Miss San
