Jingping ten years, Sangzi Prefecture

"This year's flood, the tea plantation and mulberry garden have been damaged, the people outside the city are hungry, there is a plague in Li County, and several villages have been sealed ......"

Gu Lan was lighting incense for her father who had been busy for a few days, and listened to several big shopkeepers reporting the news to her father, she raised her eyes and glanced at one of them, and quickly closed her eyes without saying a word.

"A few days ago, the king's shopkeeper went out of the city and was attacked by the homeless people, and he has not yet sobered up. Outside the city, our family's Zhuangzi is also in an unknown situation. ”

"They all count on the king's treasurer, why don't they send anyone out again?"

Seeing her father closing his eyes and frowning slightly, Gu Lan couldn't help but take the lead in asking.

"The situation outside this city is so unbearable that no one dares to go to ...... anymore"

These shopkeepers are all afraid at this moment, and everyone is worried that they will become the next shopkeeper who lies in bed and knows no one.

It's easy to get out of the city now, but it's hard to go back to the city!

Judging from the current situation, the cost of going out is very high, less than spending money to eliminate disasters, and more than even losing your life.

"Why don't you wait until it's too late for the imperial court to settle the refugees who have been affected by the disaster?"

Another shopkeeper suggested.

"No, Zhuangzi is far away from the city, if the displaced people really have bad intentions and can't storm the city, aren't those Zhuangzi and high-lying villages exactly their target?"

Gu Lan looked serious, staring at the group of shopkeepers in front of her who looked resistant, and when one of them met her eyes again, she heard her father suddenly say, "Okay, let's all go down." ”

Seeing that their group of people had escaped as if they had been amnesty, Gu Lan frowned and wanted to say something, but saw her father open his eyes, turned his head to look at Gu Lan, who was a little anxious, and said: "Everyone spares their lives, and you force others to go, which is counterproductive." ”

"I know, so I think I can ......"

"How can you, a woman, put yourself in danger?"

Without waiting for Gu Lan to take the initiative, her father had already seen through her thoughts, but his opening of the word "woman" made Gu Lan feel a little dissatisfied.

"Whether it is a woman or a man, when you go out of the city, you will face danger, and this is the case with the king's treasurer. As long as my daughter learns her lesson and is prepared, it's fine. ”

"Be prepared, and you don't need to go there in person. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, do you want me to teach you this truth? ”

"But Daddy, I ......"

"Alright." As if he didn't feel Gu Lan's dissatisfaction, the head of the lonely family interrupted Gu Lan's request and said: "You should leave this matter to others to do, there will be brave men under heavy profits." ”

"Yes, my daughter understands." Gu Lan responded, lowered her head and retracted the corners of her mouth.

Gu Lan was about to retreat, but heard her father say again: "Shanglin Ye's family and I will talk about your marriage with their family, and in a few days, the other party will send someone to hire ......."

The corners of the lips that had just been hooked were instantly pressed down.

"It's up to my father to decide."

After Gu Lan bluntly retired, as soon as she walked out of the study, her face was even more gloomy.

The eldest son of the Shanglin Ye family?

"A verbally agreed doll kiss?"

Gu Lan sneered, very disdainful of this.

After returning to the room, Gu Lan immediately changed into a narrow-sleeved gown, wore a veil and was about to go out.

When she asked her servants to lead the carriage, she stood under the verandah and listened to the chirping of several maids under the eaves.

Maiden Jia: "That fifth brother is hairy, and Sister Jade's eyes were red when she came out of his yard two days ago!" ”

Maiden B: "And Ke'er, too." I heard that several of his sisters who served him close to him had already been broken......"

Maiden C: "Ah! I'm going to kill you, to say something like that? ”

Maiden: "What?" This lonely fifth brother should really be set up as an heir by the master? I don't worry that he will be kicked out so arrogantly that he will pick the right ...... from the clan again."

The words of a few little maids made Gu Lan, who was already unhappy, feel even worse.

Of course, Gu Lan, the man who lived in Dongyuan, remembered that there was a straw bale, and she didn't know why her father would choose such a person as his heir.

The carriage came, and Gu Lan got into the carriage and went to the private room of a teahouse in the city.

"How's the query going?"

"That Shanglin Ye's family has a habit of Longyang breaking sleeves, and this matter is known to his parents, and Master Ye is already so angry that he has only one breath left.

His mother is also ruthless, but if he doesn't marry a wife and prolong the heirs, this huge Ye family's property will be directly handed over to the clan elder when Master Ye dies.

That's why this young master Ye came to look for you and proposed the baby kiss that he talked about orally when he was young. ”

Listening to the news she found someone to hear, Gu Lan didn't believe it all, she looked up at the person who told her, and asked, "There is no basis for what you said, is there conclusive evidence for all this you said?" ”

"Naturally, if the lonely little lady doubts what she said, she will know in a few days that the eldest young master of the Ye family will come to hire him in person, but he brought his heart and liver here."

After the man finished speaking, he glanced at the direction of Gu Lan with a smile, Gu Lan looked up at the other party's eyes with a teacup, and finally said:

"Thank you, sir, the batch of swords promised to Mr. earlier has been ready, but because it is on the Zhuangzi outside the city, you also know that it is not safe outside the city during this time."

"Please rest assured, I will send someone to guard the Zhuangzi over there, but the king's shopkeeper next to your father came to ...... a few days ago."

Gu Lan knew that the reason why the shopkeeper Wang became what he is now is also the handiwork of the person in front of him.

"Sir, it's really kind to leave the other party alive."

I don't know why, Yan Shuo felt that Gu Lan was yin and yang.

Sure enough, in the next second, he heard Gu Lan say: "If the other party wakes up and reports to my father about the transaction between me and my husband, I am jealous and suspicious by my father, and if it breaks the calculation of the person behind my husband, wouldn't it be terrible?" ”

At this time, Yan Shuo really faced the woman who was in her prime, but her eyes were full of ambition and unwillingness.

Is this woman dissatisfied with her family affair, or is she dissatisfied with anything else?

"If it's a lonely little lady, what should this be?"

Looking at Yan Shuo, who had been staring at him for a long time and asked such a sentence, Gu Lan pursed her lips, then lowered her head and said, "Why don't you do this, I helped you deal with this 'worries', can you let me meet your master and discuss the future together?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Yan Shuo also smiled.

He felt that Gu Lan's words were a bit exaggerated.

"It's just that this matter is not a 'worry' for us, and it is far from enough if there is only one person who votes for the certificate."

Yan Shuo drank a cup of hot tea, looked up at Gu Lan again, and said, "Moreover, the little lady has a big picture, what she wants to get, she should understand the exchange equivalence, right?" ”

Gu Lan: If one person is not enough to vote for the name, the wealth of the two families is feasible?
