Chapter 60: The Marriage Contract I

It's different from what Chen Lan envisioned. The Aunt Zhou, who served the Queen Mother in the past, was not a stereotypical person. In her early forties, she doesn't like those plain clothes, but has a soft spot for these bright faces, with a smile on the corners of her mouth on weekdays, and a deep voice, which has a unique charm. It's just that every afternoon when she was teaching etiquette in advances and retreats, she put away her generous appearance, and was meticulous and never allowed the slightest mistake.

Chen Bing and Chen Yun all pinned their hopes on a good marriage, so they gritted their teeth and studied carefully, although Chen Xi was guaranteed by Aunt Luo, but he didn't want people to look down on him, so Aunt Zhou did whatever she wanted. Even Chen Lan, who was not keen on the princes and nobles, knew that the Zhu family must always inquire about the progress, so he was not sloppy at all. Since then, her time to read books has been greatly reduced, after all, even if her female popularity is progressing quickly because of this body, she still has time to practice diligently to restore the level of the former owner. In this era, compared to poetry and songs, it is these needlework that are the real reliance.

Thus. When the official decree came down, the Yangning Marquis Mansion became even more busy for the queen's Qianqiu Festival birthday ceremony. lost her title in the second room, and Mrs. Ma couldn't wait for Chen Bing to rely on the birthday gift to get into the eyes of the queen, so she married a good family to make a difference for her husband's future recovery; Sanfang won the title, and Aunt Luo also hoped that Chen Xi could stand out and settle the marriage with the prince of Weiguo as soon as possible. There was only no one in the older generation of the long house, but Chen Lan didn't care, and there was also Zhu himself watching.

As a result, the gossip about the palace suddenly spread everywhere in the mansion. The queen said that the emperor once invited Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain to pray for her; The queen likes to eat milk, and the palace specially raises cows, and the most proud snack in the imperial dining room is cheese; The queen likes Lu'an tea, and the first tribute tea every year must be given to Kunning Palace; The queen likes plain and light colors, and everyone in the palace wears green ......

In these painstaking calculations, Mrs. Xu's illness improved greatly, and she happened to take over the family affairs from the Chen Lan sisters, who had no time to take care of family affairs. It's just that she didn't pay attention to these before, she carried a green calyx every day, she actually spent more time sitting and less time to talk, and after a few days, there were a number of people up and down, and the third lady of the whole way was a smiling Bodhisattva who didn't open her mouth, no matter what she did, and she was better served than the two young ladies in front of her, who were simply Zhenshan Tai Sui.

On this day, Chen Lan was discussing the color of the line with Hongluo in the warm pavilion, when he heard the noise outside, and couldn't help but put down the embroidery frame in his hand. smiled again: "It must be Yun'er who is back!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Yun'er entered the door in a hurry, and opened her mouth and shouted, "Miss, Miss, the Su family's ...... The old lady is here again! She easily replaced the three words of the old woman on her lips with an honorific title, and then said, "I am talking to the old lady in the main room of the Tatekain Temple at this time." The old lady invited the second lady and the third lady over, and the movement inside was very loud, and it seemed that there had been a fight, and now the courtyard gate was guarded, and it was difficult to inquire about anything. ”

"I told you to go to the kitchen and see what good snacks you have today, but you came back after hearing such news all the way." Chen Lan smiled, then motioned to Hongluo to hand her a cup of tea, and then said lightly, "If the elders can tell us, they will naturally tell us when the time comes." If not, it's useless to ask. ”

"Only Miss can sit still, Jiahe next to Miss Two, Double Happiness next to Miss Four, and Ping'er next to Miss Five. But it's all there to probe your brain! After all, the old lady of the Su family is ...... Didn't you say last time that the Su family and the Hou Mansion had a marriage contract? ”

Yun'er drank a cup of warm tea cleanly, and then said, "But the old lady in this family is the elder who really talks about things, since she loves our young lady, she naturally won't let the Su family take advantage of it!" By the way, I heard that this time the Queen's Thousand Autumn Festival, the second lady's gift is a brocade robe embroidered with the Taishang induction chapter, and on the side is the continuous 10,000-character head embroidered by the second lady, which was bought by the second lady from outside at a high price with her body, and Mrs. Runingbo has not robbed it. Miss Five's gift is a woven carpet from Yunnan, remove the thread on the side, and several girls work together to weave a birthday poem of Miss Five. ”

"Do you know the queen's temperament?"

Seeing that Yun'er nodded and wanted to speak, Chen Lan cut her off: "It is said that the queen believes in the truth, likes to eat crisp cheese, likes Lu'an melon slices, and likes plain and light colors, these can be inquired about in our house, but not in other houses?" Even if some of the news is hidden as a treasure over there, the person who sold it to them may not sell it to someone else. Moreover, the queen has been in poor health for so many years, and she lives in the palace, so many of the things she inquired about may not really come out of Kunning Palace. Besides, it is said that it is to see the craftsmanship of each family, but no one dares to really send worthless things, so they change their methods to please, and no matter how novel things are sandwiched in them, they will be inconspicuous. It's just a will. Just ask for your heart, not whether it is valuable, besides, those things sent by the sisters, at a glance, you know that they can't be driven out within half a month, and the discerning people will not know? ”

Hearing this, Hongluo couldn't help nodding again and again, and when she saw Yun'er looking at it, she stepped forward and smiled with a smile: "It's not that Miss doesn't know that my sister is bothered, but some things are too much to do with half the effort, and it's not interesting." ”

"I also know that it will be more difficult to rely on this, but miss...... It's not really cheap, the Su family! Yun'er remembered that many of the girls in the past few days were saying that Su Wan'er had outstanding appearance and good manners, a bit like the character of her own young lady, so she felt angry, so she simply took out this matter and said it together, and said angrily, "With her little family spirit, how can she be compared with Miss?" ”

"Does anyone really say that about Su Wan'er?"

Chen Lan is so busy these days that he really doesn't have time to pay attention to this, and this is the first time he has heard this statement. Seeing that Yun'er nodded affirmatively, and then repeated the words of those girls vigorously, she couldn't help frowning. Those girls and daughters-in-law in the Hou Mansion are all wall grass, and the second room used to be powerful. They praised Mrs. Ma and Chen Bing's various benefits, and now that the third room is in power, they praise Aunt Luo's virtuousness and Chen Xi's filial piety, and they have forgotten how they treated people in the past. Su Wan'er is not wealthy enough and has no money to take care of it, just because she knows how to be a person or other small means, if she wants these people to spread these, there is no door!

Could it be ......

"Miss, Miss!"

Qin Fang suddenly slammed the door curtain and came in, and saw that Chen Lan and the other two big girls were in the house, so she hurriedly said, "There is a fight in the upper room of the Tatexiang Courtyard." I don't know what the second lady said, the old lady was so angry that she was sick, and she was sending someone out to ask for a doctor. The third lady personally sent the old lady of the Su family out, and Miss Su Jiabiao still stayed in our house temporarily, at this time, the chickens and dogs of the Tatexiang Courtyard jumped, and Mother Zheng happened to be absent, and the old lady sent Sister Yushao to come and said please come over! ”

How could it be like this in a moment?

Although he guessed that it was mostly due to marriage, Chen Lan still had a lot of doubts. After changing her clothes, she ordered a red snail and followed her out, leaving Qin Fang and Yun'er in the Splendid Pavilion. Hurried all the way over, and when she arrived at the Tatexiang Courtyard, she found that it was indeed a mess, and on weekdays, she either stood at the door under the eaves, or worked in the house, or sprinkled and swept in the yard, and the girls of all sizes were all over the yard, shouting and screaming, some asked for water, some urged the doctors outside, and some asked what was going on, where could you see the neat scene on weekdays. Seeing this scene, Chen Lan's face sank suddenly.

"Just let them mess around like this? What about green calyxes? ”

Yu Shao didn't think that the third lady in the family was outstanding in the past, but Chen Lan, who looked inconspicuous these days, suddenly stood out from several young ladies and became the most favored by the old lady, so she no longer dared to underestimate her. At this time, she also saw the appearance in the courtyard, and hurriedly stood up and shouted a few times, seeing that the situation was finally a little better, she retreated behind Chen Lan, and whispered: "Sister Green Calyx is guarding the old lady, I'm afraid I won't be able to separate." ”

"She can't be separated, there are still two first-class girls in this Lixiang Courtyard!"

Chen Lan turned his head and glanced at Yu Shao, seeing that he was silent, he knew that Yu Shao was honest, but he hadn't experienced it after all, and he couldn't control the scene. So he said no more, and went to the door of the main house first. When she entered the door, she saw that the main hall was empty, and there seemed to be a voice in the east room, so she went straight in. Sure enough, the small room was full of people, Zhu was leaning on the kang, Lu Calyx and several girls were busy handing tea and medicine, and fetching water and twisting hand towels, and there was Mrs. Ma with a very ugly face standing underground, but Su Wan'er was standing by the kang, and she was wiping Zhu's sweat with a hand towel at this time.

"Old lady."

After saluting, Chen Lan saw that Zhu Shi was looking over, so he stepped forward, and then said to the green calyx: "Even if the old lady is unwell, there is no need for so many people to gather here, all of them are in a hurry, but it is worse than fewer people." The doctor didn't come over for a while, and Zheng's mother was not there, so there were no people who knew how to treat medicine on weekdays, and how could it be beneficial to people if they were angry? Besides, how can there be any reason to let guests like Cousin Wan'er come to serve, even if I am farther away, the rest of the family is closer. ”

Mrs. Ma knew that it was not good when she said the wrong thing and provoked this accident just now, but when she heard Chen Lan say this as soon as she came, the green calyx responded again and again, and her two girls who stepped forward to help her were thrown out, and she couldn't help but be extremely annoyed, but she just opened her mouth and let her mother hold her back, and suddenly she had to stand there hatefully. After a while, Zhu finally sat up with Chen Lan's support, but his eyes were terrifyingly cold, and Mrs. Ma hurriedly lowered her head as soon as she was on it.

"Mrs. Su even took out the old marquis's jade pendant, you were still sneering, you almost didn't make a fuss on the spot, people who don't know still think that our family has no rules! Lao 2 is no longer titled, you have lost your life, but don't forget that you are the daughter-in-law of our Yangning Marquis Mansion! ”
