Is there a thief who committed Taizu Xiaoling? King Jin, the nominal eldest son of the emperor, actually wants to go to the imperial tomb to nest for I don't know how much time? The stepmother Yixing County Lord is actually going to enter the eldest princess?

These three pieces of news don't seem to have much to do with last night's events, but when you think about it, it seems that you can taste it endlessly. Chen Lan glanced at the Jiang family and the Zhu family, and saw that the mother-in-law Jiang family was just surprised, but there was no other emotion, but the grandmother Zhu family was different, the lips were pursed tightly, and the right hand tightly grasped the wrist of the left hand, as if she had exhausted her strength to maintain her calmness, she didn't know the mood of this old lady.

Even if you have recognized the reality, even if you have almost given up hope, but when you are completely sure that the second son of the emperor who had bet infinite hopes and huge bets is out, that huge sense of loss is inevitable after all. You must know that Zhang Huixing, the princess of Jin, has the blood of the Zhu family in her body, and she is a real granddaughter.

Although Jiang did not pay much attention to the political situation, his ability to observe words and emotions was not bad. Seeing that Zhu's face was very bad at this moment, she stood up and made an excuse that she forgot to take medicine in the morning, and asked Chen Lan to accompany Zhu here, and she said that she would not come out of the house first. From the warm room to the cold outside, she didn't take a step immediately, but stopped, and then pushed away the oil-paper umbrella that Zhuang's mother had opened.

"Just a little bit of snow, what kind of umbrella do you hold............ In this life, sometimes people suffer some hardships, which is not necessarily a curse or a blessing. ”

In the house, after seeing the Jiang family leave, the Zhu family no longer hid the sadness and disappointment on his face, lazily leaned on the pillow and did not speak, Chen Lan thought for a moment, then stepped forward to sit next to the Zhu family on the kang, and said softly: "The old lady allows me to advise, so far, you might as well take a look at the benefits." Last night, the third uncle had killed a lot of thieves near the Jin Wang's Mansion, and it was so close, no matter what His Royal Highness the Jin King thought, after all, he was undecided in the palace. With such a temperament, it is better to stay away from the capital for a while and be more peaceful, otherwise, King Wu and King Huai ......"

Chen Lan didn't continue, and Zhu didn't understand the meaning of the words, he sighed deeply, and his eyes were a little confused. Rubbing the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, she smiled slightly: "What you said is that I should be content if I can have the ending now." You can see his personality from the previous events, but I still have a little bit of luck...... That's it, I don't want this frustrating thing for your godmother to enter the eldest princess this time, this is a great joy! ”

"Yes, yes, yes......" Chen Lan responded playfully, and Chen Yan on the side muttered in a low voice like a scenic, "The master's temperament has never cared about these names, and he may feel that entering such a name will add a lot of red tape in the future." ”

"You kid, you've only been with the county lord for a few days, and even that temper has learned three points!"

Zhu glared at Chen Yan with a smile, and Chen Lan couldn't help laughing. Seeing that Zhu Shi glared at her and looked at her with meaningful eyes, she instantly understood the reason, and said with a smile: "Old lady, don't think about other rewards." The title of mother is what the emperor has always wanted to give, and it has been delayed until now, probably just for a justifiable name. And Uncle Wei Guogong also has a lot of credit this time, but they may be willing to give a reward, so they will either be married or shaded. As for me...... Could it be that I can still show up about the fact that I saw the master of Longquan Nunnery last night? ”

"Why don't you say your uncle?"

Seeing that Zhu's eyes, which were still a little regretful, were suddenly full of banter, and Chen Yan also came over curiously, Chen Lan couldn't help but say that he drove the little guy out of the house first and then said with a smile: "Just look at it, he will not be an official and a knight, but in essence, he will definitely not be less than the Hou Shizi of Zhendong and Luo Shizi, and he will not suffer!" As for me, what could be better than having the emperor read me? Uncle Quan got a good idea, if Xiaosi also brought benefits, wouldn't I be the most profitable? ”

"You, you, this is the real shrewdness!"

Although he was depressed at first, Chen Lan tactfully said that Han Gong was at least meritorious this time, even if there was nowhere to seal it, but his wife and children would probably be beneficial, and when Zhu thought about Princess Jin, he finally stopped being so worried. And Chen Lan then did not shy away from moving out his little abacus, Zhu couldn't help but get more and more funny, he unconsciously hugged her like a child, and the wrinkles that were tangled together just now because of his frowns seemed to be smoothed out, and a thought flashed in his heart.

Lan'er, you are open-minded but smart, skilled and kind, you are really good! The biggest luck in the life of the old woman is that before she is about to enter the ground, she sees the right person!

........................, Wenyuan Pavilion East Official House Zhang Wenhan Straight House.

Since entering the cabinet and becoming a third assistant, Zhang Wenhan has naturally had the right to choose a straight house among the four official houses in the east and west of Wenyuan Pavilion, although only among the remaining two. He is pickier than Song Du in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and his daughters in the family personally make good supplies for him, even teacups and tea.

At this moment, Luo Xu, who was summoned, stared at the porcelain teapot of Ru kiln azure pomelo fairy crane Xiangwen in front of him, a set of four Jun kiln rose purple meal noodles small teapot, and almost didn't bare out of his eyes. What he didn't expect was that Zhang Wenhan personally made him tea, but he was the first to taste it when he raised his glass. , as if he had casually left a sentence.

"I didn't expect you and Bingyun to have such a tacit understanding."

Luo Xu's mouthful of hot tea had not yet been swallowed, and when he heard this, he lost his mind, and the hot tea suddenly made his tongue suffer from the boss, and then choked again. After coughing for a long time, he quickly put down the teacup and stood up, and said according to the courtesy: "Xiao Zhang Ge forgives his sins, it is really ............ It's really because I've seen Miss Zhang from a distance before, and I paid attention to that shop at that time, and then the lord of Haining County entrusted me to each other, because the stakes were very high, so I overstepped my authority............"

"There is overstepping authority, overstepping the rules, my daughter, I can still trust it."

Zhang Wenhan said it magnanimously, but the expression that seemed to be smiling was not like that in Luo Xu's eyes. The three elders of the cabinet, Du Weifang is steep and steep, and Song Yiming is unfathomable, only this Zhang Ge is gentle and elegant, and no matter how he behaves, he can't find any fault. Not only that, none of the bachelors who entered the cabinet in the past were willing to add a small one in front of their surnames, but Zhang Wenhan didn't care. Therefore, the clerical secret pavilion and so on are all a small mouthful behind the face, but the old Zhang Pavilion is not very kind, and this one has easily gained a foothold in the cabinet.

Therefore, Luo Xu didn't dare to underestimate his future father-in-law, but at this time, it was not appropriate to say anything, so he simply kept silent. However, what he didn't expect was even more. Zhang Wenhan looked him up and down for a while, and suddenly dropped a sentence that surprised him even more: "As a subordinate, as a court official, you are impeccable, only how you are as a husband, it's not that no one has blown rumors in my ears, and I have always had no bottom in my heart." So now I will ask you one last time, if you are the slightest unwilling, I can plead to the emperor and try to withdraw the marriage order. But if you don't say it now, if there is a little bit of bad for Bingyun in the future, I, as a father, will never let you go! ”

Most fathers in the world love their daughters, but as a cabinet minister, he is almost the most proficient representative of Confucianism in the world, and he will definitely not say such things to his future son-in-law on the surface. So, Luo Xu, who has been following Du Weifang and getting along with Zhang Wenhan a little, was unexpected, but felt that this future father-in-law was not like Song Yiming, the first assistant of Taoism, not a little cute.

"Uh............ Miss Zhang is very good. Luo Xu sighed secretly at first, and then thought of the encounter again and again, and tried to organize the sentence, but the next sentence was held back for a long time before he came out, "Manly man, I, Luo Xu, am not such an irresponsible person!" ”

"That's good, I've written down your words!"

Zhang Wenhan's faint face just now finally showed a smile, and then he looked behind him and said, "Brother Du, please give me a witness!" ”

Seeing Du Weifang pacing out from behind the screen when he heard the words, Luo Xu only felt dumbfounded, he didn't know what to say, and Du Weifang actually said to Zhang Wenhan there, when the time comes, come to my house to meet my prospective son-in-law, and also give me a witness, Yunyun Luo Xu finally simply looked up at the sturdy roof, and there was a sense of relief in his heart...... she was such a hearty and generous girl, and she had such an informal father, the two of them will ...... I should be able to get along with my wife like Mr. Han, right?

He was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard Du Weifang seem to be calling him, he hurriedly threw away these thoughts and stepped forward, who knew that Du Weifang actually took the pen on the table, took two more from the notepad, and pushed these directly to him. Just when he almost thought that this pair of cabinet duo was going to ask him to write something like that, Du Weifang coughed lightly.

"Since you happen to be here, help me draw up a draft of your will. That is to say, Longquan Nunnery is one of the eight places where Taizu was enshrined and is famous all over the world, but now it has become a place to hide dirt and dirt, so from now on, the Longquan Nunnery will be abolished as a temple, and a nun will be moved to another place. ”

As soon as Du Weifang finished speaking, Zhang Wenhan said: "Also, recently, there have been frequent floods in the capital, and the public security has deteriorated, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities are duty-bound. Go to the five cities to command the soldiers and horses, go to Dali Temple to be investigated, and appoint ......"

A series of names came out of Zhang Wenhan's mouth, Luo Xu hurriedly wrote down with bated breath, and when he finally remembered it all, he heard Du Weifang say to Zhang Wenhan: "Yuan Fu just mentioned it, now that the first evil has been eliminated and the dust has settled, it is time to release the father-in-law of Xia, who has been imprisoned in the prison." Before I came to Wenyuan Pavilion just now, I happened to see Chen Ying, the Marquis of Yangning, who was leading the guard, talking to Dali Siqing, and there seemed to be a lot of questions about the master of Longquan Nunnery. ”

……………………

Last night, the north wind blew and snowed overnight, and now in the daytime, there is still a light snow falling in the sky from time to time. Chen Ting, who rarely comes out on a cold day on weekdays, was wrapped in a thick leather jacket, leather hat and leather boots, and ran around for a while, panicking that Wu's mother followed behind and didn't have time to take care of it, and in the end, it was easy to take a hole and bring people over.

"Little ancestor, the weather is cold, and the road is slippery, just take a look, why bother tossing those huāhuā grasses?"

Chen Lan and Chen Yan supported Zhu to walk behind, and when she heard the sound, she smiled and said: "Mother Wu, don't spoil the sixth brother too much, the child should be extensively raised, if everything is detained, as soon as it is cold, he will not be allowed to go out and not allowed to walk, which is not conducive to recuperation and growth." Since the sixth brother arrived at the old lady's side, this head has suddenly risen a lot, and the person has become stronger, which shows that this statement is reasonable. To say that Xiaosi is suffering so many people now, but he is growing up faster, and he will surpass me in a while! ”

Although this was just a joke, Mother Wu heard the reminder, and couldn't help but bend her knees with some scorn on her face, and said with a smile: "The little one is also afraid that the sixth young master will bump into it, but he has not been in good health since he was a child......"

"Mom, I'm fine!" Chen Ting reluctantly brushed his sleeves, revealing a round forearm, "What the fourth brother said, when it's all hard meat here, you can go to fight tigers!" ”

A group of people were dumbfounded when they heard this, Chen Lan immediately looked at Chen Yan with his eyes, and the little guy immediately flashed behind Zhu's head, and said with some humility: "I just told him what my sister told me about Wu Song beating the tiger before, who knows that he remembers it!" ”

Chen Lan then understood, and after beckoning Chen Ting, he couldn't help rubbing his little head. At this time, the Jiang family next to him also smiled: "In the past, I only thought that children should be pampered, but later I saw how my brother and his father disciplined the children, and I was not distressed, but now that I think about it, if I can't be ruthless, I will be bitter now."

Mixed in the girl's daughter-in-law's fat powder pile all day long, there is everything in brocade clothes and jade food, this child will be lazy and lazy unconsciously, it is indeed time for them to walk outside a lot, and take a good look at what the world is like. ”

Zhu Shi also nodded lightly beside him: "This is Mrs. Tai's experience." There is also a saying outside the strange road that the children of poor families are in charge of the house early, and now that I think about it, this is really the truth. ”

"The old lady is only half right." Chen Lan held Zhu's arm with one hand and Chen Ting with the other, but his eyes looked at Chen Yan who was full of surprise on the side, "Scholars often say that Mei Huā incense comes from the bitter cold to sharpen the sword edge. Of course, this means that it is difficult to become a great tool without going through some hardships, but poverty does not necessarily make people understand things early. Some people are able to make up their minds when they are poor, but many more people are living in a mess, or they are still empty-sleeved and disheartened. Therefore, born in a wealthy family, you are born with more advantages than others, how to keep this advantage and pull this advantage, instead of letting the advantage become a disadvantage, this is the most important thing. It doesn't matter if there is a gentleman in the door, what I am afraid of is that the descendants are all gentlemen. ”

These words are simple, and they are very admired in the ears of the girls and servants who accompany them, but in the ears of elders such as the Zhu family and the Jiang family, who have lived for half their lives, they can't help but understand the reason why Chen Lan is calm. At this time, Chen Yan couldn't help but interject and said: "Sister, since you say so, why do many famous ministers in this dynasty come out of poverty? ”

"But compared to the countless poor people in the world, aren't those few people a drop in the ocean?" Chen Lan smiled slightly, looked down at Chen Ting, and saw that the little guy seemed to be looking at him incomprehensibly, so he took his hand and shook it slightly, "Actually, throughout the ancient and modern times, the most talented people are often the well-off families of scholars. First, because there is no need to worry about food and clothing, and secondly, because one generation is born, and the grace and shade often cannot reach several generations, so generations will spur their children and grandchildren to work hard to "...... three times"

After a pause, she didn't continue this time, until one entered the grass hall, the maids and servants were busy setting the table and passing the dishes, and there were no outsiders around, so she said to Chen Yan in a very soft voice: "Third, those scholarly families are still enterprising. In history, there have been few civil officials who have been central ministers for two generations, even if the prime minister's children and grandchildren are in office, and one day their fathers and ancestors will either be demoted or pass away, and this influence will hardly be able to protect them for a lifetime.

And the hereditary replacement of military ministers is not only an honor, but also a shackle. In order to attack the lord, are there still fewer nobles who have fallen? ”

"Sister, then why didn't you let me go to the imperial examination in the first place!"

Chen Lan saw Chen Yan's eyes widen and his face was puzzled, but he didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "For example, like your Senior Brother Luo, how many people are there in the world?" Besides, now Wei Guogong, An Zhi has never been anxious about this matter? You are still half-baked in civil and military affairs now, and when you have the ability of your senior brother Luo in the future, it is not too late to talk about the imperial examination. ”

"Uh......"

After ordering Chen Yan, Chen Lan didn't say much, and while the meal hadn't come up yet, he just accompanied his mother-in-law Jiang and grandmother Jiang to laugh. However, just when the girls put the big and small bowls of tall plates on the dining table, news came from the front yard that Yang Jinzhou had returned. Hearing this, the people were overjoyed, and the Jiang clan immediately raised his voice and ordered people to lead Yang Jinzhou straight here. When people came, she waited for Yang Jinzhou to salute the Zhu family, and immediately waved her hand to avoid the etiquette of bowing her head, and said with a smile: "You came back by coincidence" Your daughter-in-law and I accompanied the old lady Brother Ting for a long time, and was about to sit down to eat, and you came back so early. ”

Yang Jinzhou sat with Chen Lan, but explained succinctly: "The emperor said yesterday that he was fake" When he saw me going today, he stayed and did the necessary things, so he immediately drove me back. ”

What does this so-called necessary thing mean, at this time, there are still people around to serve, naturally no one asks. On the contrary, this meal did not meet the requirements of eating silently on weekdays, and the whole family ate happily, and there was never a word about the major affairs outside the words. Wait until the table full of leftovers is removed" Zhuang's mother took the lead and personally served the tea, and Yang Jinzhou said: "Although the prince of Zhendong Hou came yesterday, but in a hurry, he never officially thanked him for saving his life. ”

"That's right." Jiang nodded again and again, but after taking a sip of tea, he seemed to think of something, and hurriedly put down the teacup and raised his head and said, "Although Ah Hu has already thanked him once, I can't just be casual." He is your subordinate, not a servant of our family" You have to thank him again. If there is no noose of the Hou Shizi of Zhendong, it may be a car crash and death. But if it weren't for Ah Hu's strength, maybe Ah Lan and I would have fallen out of the car together. ”

"That's what my mother said." Yang Jinzhou solemnly agreed, and then looked at Chen Lan, "Speaking of which, the shocking thing yesterday has all spread today." Although the matter of the county lord entering the eldest princess is said to be determined by the Ministry of Rites, I think there will be many people who will go to congratulate today, but there is no one in the courtyard, but I am afraid that many people will come to our house. After all, you and Lan Lan were both frightened yesterday, and it would be better to close the door in the afternoon. ”

Zhu suddenly realized when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It seems that I am fortunate to have come early." Let's go around all morning, go shopping, play, eat, and eat, "I'll take Xiaoliu back, so as not to look bad when others come to the door." Xiao Si, don't rely on your sister anymore, "You manly husband just sent me and your sixth brother." ”

The Jiang family originally wanted to keep one or two, but the Zhu family said that she couldn't leave home for too long, and she also took Chen Ting with her, so she agreed, and after a while, she sent people out with her son and daughter-in-law. When she returned to the main house of Xifuju, she sent everyone out, and finally couldn't help asking: "The people under Brother Yan of the first head have inquired about a few pieces of news, but in addition to the King of Jin and the county lord, there are only the measures of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, what happened to the other things last night?" ”

"The master of Longquan Nunnery...... She is the daughter of the late Qin Shuren, and she was once the lord of Kangding. ”

Chen Lan saw Yang Jinzhou looking at him as he spoke, so he nodded slightly, but Jiang Shi gasped: "I had heard of that one earlier, but it had already been bad, and her son was gone, how could it be her daughter who caused such an adverse thing!" After all, Longquan Nunnery also used to have some fame, plus it was an anthem, she should have gathered in and out of many wealthy families, which implicated her......"

"This is naturally widespread, after all, there are still people who want to add fuel to the fire. Chen Ying, Marquis of Yangning, said that the matter of the master of Longquan Nunnery should be strictly investigated and handled by the three law divisions and Jinyiwei. I think he means that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink! ”

"The third uncle is a character who has no wind and no waves, don't pay attention to him." After last night's incident, Chen Lan only felt that Chen Ying's current actions were like jumping clowns, so he didn't care at all, "If the prison is revived again, the people of the world who have forgotten that person will probably think about it again, and there will be a lot of topics of conversation and laughter in the market, and the emperor will never adopt it." ”

"You really know the emperor's heart." Yang Jinzhou couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw Chen Lan smiling at him, "So, until now, the identity of the master of Longquan Nunnery has been kept secret, such as King Huai being banned in Xiyuan, and what has been passed out is that Ouyang Xing, the commander of Jinyiwei, has been dismissed, plus the three you know, things are all under control." It's the prince of Zhendong............ I was almost ambushed last night, and it is said that my body was not lightly injured, and I was going to send some of the secret recipe Jin Chuangyao passed down by my father, but as for the other gifts, it was a little difficult to do......"

However, hearing this, Chen Lan's heart moved: "Yes, it's better to trouble my mother to make a few colors of pastry that you are best at." Xiao Si said before that Hou Shizi of Zhendong is really cold-tempered, but he has only one hobby, nicknamed Coconut Food, which is the most delicious
