The next morning, a warm sun shone into the house, and Luo Lan opened her eyes lazily.

It's already slightly cool around him, it seems that Leng Yu has been gone for a long time, today is the day of the morning court, and he will go out early every few days of the court.

As soon as Luo Lan got up, Ah Cai came to knock on the door.

"Princess, are you up? The water was ready, and the slave and maid came in. ”

Ah Cai can always find out when she wakes up, or rather, she is listening to her movements at the door, and it is estimated that even if she turns over, she can hear it.

"Come in."

She shouted to the doorway, stretched, and got out of bed.

After Ah Cai came in, he began to chatter,

"Princess, Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan have been waiting for you outside with a few guards for a long time, saying that the prince has an order, and they will listen to your command in the next few days."

"Well, did An An cry last night?"

"The slave maid just went to see it, and the two little boys and young ladies slept very well, and the nurses rubbed their bellies before going to bed according to what you said."

Luo Lan took the wet hand towel handed over by Ah Cai, wiped her face, and nodded,

"That's fine, just wait for An An and Lele to grow up to the size of Huaiyu."

"By the way, the princess, General Liu came early in the morning, he came to see Lele, he said that when Lele grows up, he will bring Lele to the Guogong Mansion and teach Lele kung fu."

Hearing this, Luo Lan shook his head helplessly,

"Dad, this person is too straightforward, I don't have to show it so obviously if I like Lele, I have to talk about him later."

Ah Cai chuckled while combing her hair:

"It's okay, they're still young, they won't be angry."

"But sooner or later, they will grow up, and in their hearts, they will not understand why their grandfather treats them differently."

Ah Cai nodded as if she didn't understand, "Your words make sense, by the way, breakfast is ready, the slave maid will bring it to you, and the prince specially instructed the slave and maid to cook the braised eggs for you, saying that you like to eat it." ”

Speaking of boiled eggs, Luo Lan suddenly thought of what happened last night, this guy, do you need to hint at her so blatantly?

Thinking of this, she blushed and nodded, "Well, the prince is right, go and prepare." ”

She didn't want to explain too much about her liking of 'boiled eggs', it was really 'unspeakable'.

After the meal, Luo Lan called Xiao Lingzi, Zhang Yuan and several guards to him, and said with a serious face:

"After a while, we will act separately in the four directions of southeast, southeast and northwest, Xiao Lingzi will take two people to the east, Zhang Yuan will take two people to the west, I will take Ah Cai and A Hong to the south, you will take two people to the north, let's go to the villages near Minghua County to visit, find a few women's homes that were divorced by Li Cai's family, and meet at Lijiazhuang at noon."

Hearing this, Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan and the guards both hugged their fists and said:

"The subordinates understand, and the subordinates will go."

After that, these people were divided into four groups, Luo Lan and A Cai traveled in a carriage, Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan and others rode horses and went straight to Minghua County.

They also took the county seat of Minghua as the central point and went to search for people in four directions.

The carriage that Luo Lan and the three of them rode came to a village three miles away from the county seat of Minghua, she asked the groom to wait at the entrance of the village, and she took Ah Cai and Ah Hong to the village.

They saw some old women sitting there chatting under a big tree, and Luo Lan leaned over and asked:

"Big girl, are you okay chatting here?"

The ladies nodded enthusiastically and replied:

"yes, where is the girl from? Come to us for relatives or friends? ”

"Auntie, I don't go to relatives or friends, I just want to inquire, is there any girl in our village who has married the rich man of Lijiazhuang?"

As soon as she asked this, the old women looked at each other, shook their heads directly, and one of them said:

"It's almost noon, I have to go home and cook."

Several other old women also chimed in, "Let's go, let's go, let's go home and cook." ”

"A few aunts ......"

Luo Lan wanted to ask a few more questions, but they had already walked away.

Looking at the backs of these people, Ah Cai said angrily:

"Who? No politeness at all. ”

Ah Hong said with a calm face:

"Princess, why do I think it's a little strange? When I greeted them, they were quite enthusiastic, but when I mentioned Rich Master Li to them, they left under the pretext of leaving. ”

Luo Lan nodded suspiciously, she raised her eyes, looked at the curling smoke coming out of the chimney of a house not far away, and said softly:

"Let's go, go there and ask."

When the words fell, she walked in front, followed by Ah Cai and Ah Hong.

They came to the gate of a farmer's yard with a dilapidated gate, where an old woman, who, judging by her gray hair, was chopping wood, and judging by her gray hair, she must have been fifty or sixty years old.

"Auntie......"

Luo Lan called, the old woman turned around, put her palm on her forehead and looked at the door, and when she saw Luo Lan, she put down the axe in her hand, came to the door and asked:

"Girl, who are you looking for?"

Luo Lan looked at the old lady's deep-set eyes and said softly:

"We're passing by, can we go in and ask for a drink?"

Seeing that it was three women, the old lady nodded directly, "Please come in, there is nothing else at home, and there is still water." ”

As she spoke, the eldest lady welcomed the three of them into the courtyard.

Sitting at the shabby low table, watching the eldest lady lying on the stove and making a fire to boil water, Ah Cai wanted to stop her, Luo Lan waved her hand and shook her head.

Ah Cai pursed her mouth, swallowed her saliva secretly, and whispered:

"Princess, look at the edge of her pot, how dirty it is, and that bucket, it seems that it hasn't been used for many years."

Luo Lan didn't mind chuckling, "Since you're here to beg for water, how can you dislike other people's dirty water?" We should be grateful that people let us in. ”

Ah Hong also blamed there:

"The princess didn't say anything, but you are dirty, are you ashamed?"

Ah Cai blushed and lowered her head in shame.

After a while, the eldest lady came over with a steaming kettle, she picked up a few enamel jars on the table, and said to herself while pouring water:

"There is no tea at home, so a few girls will drink it."

Luo Lan hurriedly took the water cup and said again and again:

"Thank you, Auntie, sit down!"

The eldest lady pushed the two glasses of water in front of Ah Cai and Ah Hong, and then sat down, muttering resentfully,

"Since my Dani left, my house has been much more deserted, you can come here to beg for water, my wife is happy in my heart."

Looking at the empty eyes of the eldest lady, Luo Lan pursed the corners of her mouth and said softly:

"Auntie, who are you? Where did she go? Are you alone in the house? ”

The eldest lady rubbed her hands and nodded,

"Hmmm......"

After nodding, she hurriedly shook her head again, "My family is not alone, and I Dani, she is my granddaughter, I just don't know where she went, and I can't find it!" ”

"Why can't you find it? Is she married, or is she going out to work? ”
