This previous will has already given the Zhu family a blow to the head. Therefore, she was helped up by Eunuch Xia at this time, she already felt dizzy in her head, if it weren't for Eunuch Xia's hands being extremely steady, she was afraid that she would not even be able to stand steadily. Biting the tip of her tongue hard, she finally kept her composure, raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes, her voice was already a little choked.

"There is such an unsuccessful one in the family, thanks to the emperor who still remembers the merits of the Yangning Marquis Mansion over the years. If this hereditary title is really lost on me, how can I go to see the old marquis under the Nine Springs......"

The little bit of the Yangning Marquis Mansion, as long as the older old lieutenants all know it, not to mention the old people like Eunuch Xia, who have risen all the way to the eunuch. But he still smiled and comforted a few words, and then waved his hand to the back, and when he saw a few little eunuchs coming over with a few large boxes, he glanced at the group of people who had not yet gotten up.

"Emperor Taizu has laid down the country, and he has always been the most sympathetic to the old nobles who lived and died together, and now although it has been one hundred and fifty or sixty years since the founding of the country, the emperor still remembers it all the time. A few years ago, because the provinces reported the snow disaster and the famine, so the New Year's gift was simpler, and now it happens that the treasure ship has returned from the Western Ocean, and it is another gift. Except for the Crown of Destiny. Mrs. Yangning Hou gave a red sandalwood shelf screen, a set of imperial kiln porcelain, ten pieces of folded branch flower tribute satin, ten pieces of Shu brocade, ten pieces of silver mouse skin, ten pieces of crepe, two pieces of Gu Rong Crane, six pieces of silk and six pieces of silk. The young master and young lady each gave four horses of Hangjuan, two horses of Atlantic kudzu, and two new books. ”

After reading the long list, Eunuch Xia paused slightly, and said slowly: "Before, Chen Wei, the Marquis of Yangning, lost his title because of his crime, but he was not guilty of his son, so the emperor once ordered his predecessor, Marquis Chen Jiu, of Yangning, to give Chen Yan, the eldest son of the Changfang, every year with 100 stones of rice. Now that the title has been redetermined, that will must be carried out. The family of the minister, the two words of filial piety are the most important, what is the hundred stones of white rice? Also, the thousand acres of farmland that was confiscated because of Chen Wei's crime before, now that the two children in the long house are older, they are naturally still returned. I heard that Mrs. Tai once asked the third lady to assist in housework, so let her take care of the affairs of Zhuangtian. What does Mrs. Yang Ninghou think? ”

Inexplicably, she became Mrs. Yangninghou, and the sick Mrs. Xu was quite excited at first, but Aunt Luo really earned a fate, and her hot charcoal-like mind suddenly became cold. At this time, I saw that Eunuch Xia was actually looking at her and talking. She sneered in her heart, but she glanced at Aunt Luo before she responded respectfully.

And since it was the emperor who mentioned the long house, Chen Lan had to take Chen Yan forward to thank him, but he knew in his heart that the thousand acres of farmland was the biggest harvest this time, but after the salute, she found that Eunuch Xia asked Chen Yan a few words, and those small but extremely sharp eyes were always rolling on her, as if she was examining something.

However, after what should be done was done, Zhu originally wanted to invite Eunuch Xia to Furui Hall for tea, but Eunuch Xia shook his head.

"Today's Lantern Festival, the emperor took all the mothers and princesses to the Donghua Gate Tower to watch the lanterns, and invited the mother and daughter of the lord of Yixing County. Having said that, today's event is also a great joy for the Hou Mansion, and at night the lights are placed in the alley of the light market by royal order, why not let the children go to see it? Seeing that the Zhu family frowned, Eunuch Xia smiled again, "Our family just said it casually." Mrs. Tai should only have heard of it. It's not early, our family is leaving! ”

In an instant, the group of little eunuchs wearing sunflower chests and narrow sleeves followed Eunuch Xia away, but the rest of the masters of the courtyard still did not move. Compared with the joy of the third room, the chat of the long room can be comforting, and the second room is naturally the most depressed. Chen Jiu, who was originally pulled out by pouring the sobering soup, drooped his head and looked down, while Mrs. Ma stared at him, as if she wanted to swallow her husband, who she usually regarded as dependent.

Chen Lan waited for Eunuch Xia to leave, and then approached Chen Yan quietly and whispered a few words, at this time he was already at Zhu's side, seeing that the old lady's expression was still a little dazed, she whispered: "Old lady, it's windy here, I'll help you back to the house?" ”

Zhu glanced at Chen Lan with a complicated expression, and saw that she didn't show the slightest annoyance, and was still as indifferent as usual, so he nodded. When the grandfather and grandson turned around and were about to leave, another voice came from behind them.

"Old lady, today the emperor returned the title of the family, and rewarded these many things, today is the Lantern Festival again, is it also a holiday for the family to take turns, and celebrate at night?"

It was Chen Xi who spoke. Seeing that her mother-in-law, Mrs. Xu, was speechless, and she looked ready to go back to continue recuperation, so after Aunt Luo's eyes, she stepped forward and asked generously. However, she thought that Zhu had suffered a setback today, and she would not reject this proposal that was just right for the moment, but what she didn't expect was. Zhu suddenly turned around and looked at her coldly.

"The Lantern Festival is a regular practice at home, which goes without saying, but the celebration ...... If it weren't for the emperor looking at the generations of exploits of the Marquis of Yangning, looking at the loyalty of the old marquis, and looking at your father's merits, this title might not have come back! How many noble families are because of a wrong step, this title is broken off the inheritance, this is a big celebration, people see it and think that our Hou Mansion is arrogant and arrogant, besides, this title was originally our family, one room has a knight and one room loses a knight, after all, it is not a decent thing, this mouth still wants to celebrate, not sensible! ”

Although Chen Xi was not the most favored granddaughter in the past, the Zhu family had never said anything heavy about her before. Therefore, after such a sudden attack, her face was a little unbearable, and it was easy to endure and say yes.

Mrs. Xu, who was holding her mother's hand next to her, saw this scene, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she smiled, but she didn't step forward to teach a lesson, nor did she accompany Zhu back to the Tatexiang Courtyard, seeing Zhu walking away with Chen Lan's hand and crutches. She instructed lightly: "Let's go too, go back to Cuiliuju, and stop for dinner." ”

"Madame......"

"Don't say anything, go back to your room!"

Chen Yan got his sister's order, and when he saw the two groups of people leaving, he immediately slipped away, and although Chen Xi was unwilling, he was still pulled away by Aunt Luo and the two brothers. Suddenly, only the second room family was left in the huge courtyard, and the shadows of the lost soul were pulled by the afterglow of the setting sun. After a long while, Chen Bing suddenly stomped the hard ground.

"Why. Why are they cheaper! ”

Chen Lan helped Zhu back to the Lotus Courtyard, as soon as he crossed the threshold, Zhu stumbled down, she hurriedly held it up, and the green calyx on the other side was also fast, which avoided a disaster. Feeling that the strength pressing on his hand suddenly sank a lot, Chen Lan couldn't help but glance at the golden Zhu Zhai crown, thinking that if it wasn't for the sudden will, the old lady would not be crushed by this Zhu Zhai crown. Helping the person to the dressing table, she helped the green calyx remove the heavy crown and various jewelry, and took off the Xia curtain that was almost as heavy as a weight bag, and she gently pinched Zhu's shoulder. It was only a moment before she felt her hand squeeze heavily.

"Lan'er."

"What does the old lady command?"

"I was originally going to let Yan'er inherit the title, but I didn't expect the emperor to choose your third uncle so quickly." Zhu Shi held Chen Lan's hand tightly and said lightly, "There are grandchildren, but there are no grandchildren, this is originally the rule of thousands of years. Your father has missed out on his title because of his misconduct, but he has nothing to do with your brother. I looked at him as a pure heart, and I always valued him, but now I ......."

Although he had already guessed Zhu's intentions, at this time, the old lady directly revealed it, and Chen Lan immediately showed surprise. At this moment, both grandparents and grandchildren are in front of the dressing table, and her every move will be clearly reflected by the dressing table of the glass mirror - the entire Chen family of the Marquis of Yangning Mansion has only such a glass mirror.

"My brother and I know the kindness of the old lady, but this title is a public instrument of the imperial court, and we don't dare to force it."

Chen Lan knew in her heart that although the edict of Eunuch Xia was quite responsive to the long house, she and Chen Yan's lonely daughter and weak brother could not go out of the house, and there was a natural conflict of interest with the third room, so she could not ignore the old lady who seemed to have lost power, so she gently pressed her other hand on Zhu's thin hand, and said gently: "I only want the fourth brother to be able to study and improve." Practice martial arts to strengthen your body, be able to remember filial piety, and earn a future for yourself in the future. ”

The Zhu family was born in a big family, there are many brothers and sisters, and they all smile at each other, but behind them they are calculating and scheming each other, and they don't think so when they hear Chen Lan's words, they just think that she is still a lie. But looking at the calm face in the mirror, she remembered for a moment what this granddaughter had done these days. Especially today in the Jin Palace, it was an opportunity to shine in front of everyone, and accompanied Zhang Huixin's crazy girl to mess around in the plum forest, obviously he was really a person with a generous personality.

Zheng's mother on the side saw that Zhu was stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward to divert the conversation, Chen Lan hurriedly echoed and laughed, which finally amused Zhu's heart. Seeing that it was time for dinner, she was going to go back to the room, but she was left by the Zhu family for dinner. Halfway through the meal, a loud voice came from outside.

"The Fourth Young Master is here!"

As he spoke, Chen Yan had already opened the curtain and came in. He stepped forward to salute the Zhu family, he glanced at Chen Lan again, and then said, "Old lady, my grandson wants to ask you for permission." Today's Lantern Festival, I want to take my third sister out to see the lanterns. ”

Looking at the lights?

Chen Lan glared at Chen Yan angrily, and when he saw that he didn't seem to be aware, he couldn't help but feel anxious. However, after pondering for a while, the Zhu clan at the top nodded happily.

"Well, the last time your brother and sister went to see the lights, it was when your father was there, and this time I allowed you. It's only that there are a lot of people there at night, you bring a few more people, and Lan'er is not allowed to come out in the car, so as not to let people see it and say that our Hou Mansion has no rules......"

Seeing Chen Yan's unbelievably happy expression, Chen Lan suddenly remembered Eunuch Xia's words as if they were meaningless when he left, and his heart suddenly moved. She is not very keen on watching the excitement, but she just wants to learn more about this era on a real level. Moreover, the eunuch Xia just now seemed to have hinted at it......

PS: I'm back, the hot spring is good, the hotel is more cost-effective, but it's a pity that when I came back, the sleeper sat so I wanted to die, the conductor was still making a loud noise in the middle of the night, if it weren't for the damn Shanghai Airlines actually canceled the flight for no reason, I must have taken the two-fold plane, why would I be so unlucky to sit in the sleeper...... Anyway, as soon as I came back, I had to add more, and I tried my best at night, but I don't know what time it ...... time-
