After being reminded by Mrs. Lan, Mr. Lan noticed that he had not smelled the stench all morning. He thought he was used to it and couldn't smell anything anymore. It turned out that the stench was gone.
"Okay, okay, you see you have lost weight after all the hard work in the past few days, so you can just keep having children." Mr. Lan saw hope and still felt a little distressed when he saw Lan Ziyu, who had lost a lot of weight in recent days.
"Yes, father."
…
"Master, my subordinates found out that the boss of Zui Sheng Meng Death is extremely mysterious and has never been seen before. Moreover, everything in Zui Sheng Meng Death is decided by the mother. At first, my subordinates suspected that this mother was the boss there, but later found out
It's not that simple. But I can't explain it clearly." After Yeli made inquiries, he quickly reported to Feng Mingye.
"Well, I may know who the boss is. I want to see what the background of this hidden girl is. When will the young master of Dali Temple arrive?" Feng Mingye was thinking about another thing.
"Go back to Master, we can arrive in Xuzhou tomorrow." Ye Li said.
"Well, you go down first." Feng Mingye waved his hand and asked Ye Li to leave first. What was he thinking? He was wondering whether the person who used the silver needle to send the message at night might be this girl. That
The girl's martial arts are good, and even the driver who drives the carriage is also very skilled, otherwise he would not have easily discovered the secret guard he sent. The secret guard's lightness kung fu is excellent, so he can only be discovered so easily.
To explain one thing, they are very powerful. Tonight, he decided to go to the garden again to see what secrets she had.
"Master." Ye Feng walked in at this time.
"What's the matter?" Feng Mingye said lazily.
"Miss Lan's illness has recovered, and the stench has disappeared. My subordinates discovered that the woman's maid appeared on the beam of the eldest daughter's yard last night." Night Breeze said in a low voice.
"It seems that she is not so cruel. Who did the Lan family contact?" Feng Mingye suddenly changed his tone.
Ye Feng blinked and replied: "Master Lan has been racking his brains these past few days because of Lan Ziyu's face and the smell of his body. He is thinking about using a concubine to replace his legitimate daughter in Beijing. He took the initiative to contact the Prime Minister's wife and
The one in the palace. However, he did not tell the Prime Minister's wife about this matter. The content of the letter was simply that Lan Ziyu was feeling a little unwell and would recuperate for a few days before going to Beijing. Now that Lan Ziyu has recovered from his illness, I am afraid that he will not be able to go to Beijing for a long time.
In a few days, Mr. Lan will be sent to the prime minister's house in the capital." Ye Feng said carefully.
"The Lan family can be considered close relatives of the Prime Minister's wife. However, because Mr. Lan is only a wealthy businessman, we don't want our uncle in Xuzhou to have an official position. Even if he is rich, he is just a businessman. So.
, at the beginning, I believed that the imperial concubine might not like him. However, now that the uncle is gone, the imperial concubine must find someone to support her. Then she pretended to comply with Master Lan's wishes.
In fact, even if Mr. Lan doesn't take the initiative to win over him this time, the imperial concubine will still extend an olive branch to him." Feng Mingye analyzed.
"Master, what should we do next..." Ye Feng asked.
"Keep staring, I believe that among the people who came with the young minister from Dali Temple, there must be someone from the imperial concubine. So, let's see who it is and settle the score with them when we return to the capital." Feng Mingye said coldly.
"Yes." Just as Ye Feng was about to leave, Feng
Mingye called people back again.
"You don't have to follow me tonight. I have some things to do." After Feng Mingye finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal Ye Feng to go down.
And in the garden
"Miss, the Young Minister of Dali Temple will arrive in Xuzhou tomorrow." Rushi said slowly.
"Well, let's see how the young minister of Dali Temple tries the case, and then we will go back to Tongzhou." Murong Xi actually hadn't had enough fun yet, but she knew that she couldn't stay out for too long.
At this time, the Lan Mansion was filled with joy. However, Mrs. Lan seemed to have something to say with Mr. Lan.
"Master, do you think it's a good thing or a bad thing that you sent Yu'er to Beijing this time? Why do I always feel uneasy? You said that your cousin is dead now, so the imperial concubine thought of winning over you.
If he is still alive, when will he think of you? Even though we are in Xuzhou together, we have not thought about you at all. This sudden change has made me feel uneasy." Mrs. Lan said in a low voice.
"Madam, your master and I are not fools. How can we not understand the truth behind this? She just wants to take advantage of our Lan family. But our Lan family can also use this time to rise to the top. You said that cousin is doing nothing all day long.
At such an old age, he is still causing trouble all day long. He lost his life. Doesn't he blame himself? He has made some enemies to avenge him. Your master, I usually stick to my duties and won't cause any trouble.
, Don’t worry, his death must have nothing to do with the imperial concubine’s wooing, it is purely a personal grudge. After entering Beijing, I will bring business to the capital so that we can gain a firm foothold in the capital. The imperial concubine wants our support.
, we must also ensure that our business in the capital is prosperous. Otherwise, how can we provide for her expenses? I am a businessman, which is different from that cousin. He is either corrupt and perverting the law, or he is a bully.
How much trouble has been caused? The imperial concubine must have thought of this before she took the initiative to ask Yu'er to come to Beijing quickly. In the next few days, the imperial concubine will send the message, and her people will follow the young minister of Dali Temple.
Come, when the time comes, as soon as they leave, we will follow them and go to Beijing. I will leave the family affairs to you to take care of." After Mr. Lan analyzed it, he asked Mrs. Lan to take care of the house.
"It's good that I have an idea. Don't worry, I will take good care of the house." Mrs. Lan said in a low voice.
"By the way, I saw Yu'er dressed very refreshingly today. She doesn't have many hairpins on her head. She looks very good. In the future, you can tell her not to dress up like before." Master Lan thought about it.
Before, Lan Ziyu was dressed like a butterfly, and she felt a little depressed.
"Yes, I will tell her soon that she must obey the rules when she goes to Beijing with you and will not cause trouble for you." Mrs. Lan said sagely.
"Well, I'll go to the study first." After saying that, Mr. Lan left the house and went to the study.
After Mrs. Lan thought about it, she came to Lanxinyuan. Sure enough, Lan Ziyu had just recovered from her illness and started to suffer. She started to let Cui'er dress her up again, and she had already changed into her usual clothes.
bright red.
After Mrs. Lan entered, she quickly asked Cui'er to go out, and then stayed in the room to talk to Lan Ziyu.
"Yu'er, do you listen to mother?" Mrs. Lan said softly.
At this time, Yu'er was still looking at the mirror, not knowing where to insert the Zhu Chai in her hand.
"Mother, if you have anything to say, just say it. How could Yu'er not listen to mother?" Although Lan Ziyu listened to Mrs. Lan's words, her eyes never left the bronze mirror.
Mrs. Lan sighed. She knew that Lan Ziyu was spoiled by her. It is human nature to love beauty. However, Lan Ziyu always believed that as long as expensive things were used on her body, she would be extremely beautiful. Such an idea was simply too much.
This is typical upstart behavior.
"Well, our Yu'er is so beautiful that we don't need so many Zhu Chai as a foil. After arriving in the capital, if you still dress like this, people will laugh. Especially this bright red outfit is too ostentatious. Capital
There are no ladies in the middle who dress up like this, and we, Yu'er, are very beautiful, and other girls look good on us even if we dress up a little bit." Mrs. Lan persuaded her earnestly.
"What mother said is true, but isn't it also for the sake of our Lan family's face that our daughter dresses up like this?" Lan Ziyu said disapprovingly.
The corners of Mrs. Lan's mouth twitched, Yu'er was good at everything, but the way she dressed was too tacky. So, she continued: "Yu'er, our family is rich at most, but in the capital, power is the most important.
Yes, and which official's family is poor? None of them are fuel-efficient lamps. If you dress too ostentatiously, you will definitely become the target of public criticism. Besides, the Prime Minister's wife will definitely be unhappy. Besides, Yu'er
You are beautiful, so you must dress fresh and clean. If you dress more ostentatiously than that concubine, wouldn't it mean that people will regard you as a thorn in their side. My good Yu'er, listen to my mother's advice."
Lan Ziyu nodded. In fact, she was very unsure about going to Beijing this time. After all, Xuzhou was still her father's territory. After leaving here, her father didn't have a full-time official position, or any Sesame Mung Bean.
Even the petty officials would trample her father under their feet. She knew that if they only looked at the face of the imperial concubine, they would not embarrass her father. However, if she always caused trouble, someone would definitely do something behind her back.
. Alas, is this trip to Beijing a blessing or a curse?
Mrs. Lan saw the worry on Lan Ziyu's face, so she said: "Yu'er, don't worry too much. Your father has already taken care of everything. As long as you obey, the future will not be a problem. Then your father doesn't expect you to be in the future."
As long as he can enter the palace and serve, he will be satisfied as long as he can marry the prince or the county prince. The main thing is to let you have enough food and clothing, and he doesn't want you to live in Xuzhou all your life. When the time comes, the Lan family will rise in the capital, and you
But the credit is indispensable. Think about it, could those concubines do this?" Mrs. Lan said feeling sorry for Lan Ziyu.
"Mother, Yu'er understands what you are talking about. Yu'er has a heavy burden on her shoulders. She will definitely not let down her father and mother's hard work. This time, Yu'er is obedient." Lan Ziyu said in a low voice.
"Tui'er, you are the personal maid serving the eldest lady. When the time comes to follow Yu'er to Beijing, you must have a good look. When the young lady is willful, you must persuade her and don't follow her temper." Mrs. Lan.
He told Cui'er.
"Yes, madam, don't worry, Cui'er will protect the young lady and won't let her suffer." Cui'er said respectfully.
"Well, I'm relieved now." Mrs. Lan gave instructions and spoke to Lan Ziyu for a while before returning to the yard.
