After a short time, I heard a message that Lu Dadu had returned to the government. Yan Hong hurriedly went, applied the court ginseng, and sent the goods brought back from the trench to Boss Lu, as well as a batch of jewelry and treasures brought back from the south. Lu Bing saw the gift list, and he didn't see any expression, but said lightly: "I have a heart." ”

Yan Hong's mind turned and said, "Shibo, the little one wants to take a leave of absence from you." I heard that Sister Lan Zhen was not in good shape some time ago, and she wanted to go and visit. "This is in front of other people's fathers, saying that going to see other people's daughters is indeed a bit unharmonious. But in this sensitive situation, Yan Hong said this to express his position and make his choice.

Sure enough, as soon as Yan Hong said this, Lu Bing's face turned overjoyed, and he said, "Do you want to say this yourself, or is someone pointing you out?" ”

"Where did Shibo come from? How can this kind of thing be pointed out by others, it is what the little nephew thinks. ”

Lu Bing nodded and said: "If that's the case, then you go and prepare, I will send someone to take care of your affairs in the government office, you don't have to worry about it." Wait for me to go back and have dinner together in the evening, and then I'll take you to Zhiweixuan. ”

Yan Hong had already prepared, this time he had done such a big thing, it was impossible for the emperor not to summon him. But for now, let's fix Lu Lanzhen's way first. His gifts have already been prepared, plus Lu Zhai has been to many times, he is familiar with the door, and when he arrives, he knocks on the back door and goes to Lu Lanzhen's embroidery building.

In the embroidery building, Lu Lanzhen looked at the rhombic bronze mirror, covered with fat powder, and asked the mandarin duck: "Take a good look, am I ugly?" ”

The mandarin duck said: "Miss, in fact, according to me, you should behave haggardly." can make Yan Gongzi feel guilty. I have a little pity on you. ”

Lu Lanzhen shook her head and said, "If you win by pretending to be miserable." That's not interesting. The girl of the Xu family has never met Honglang, and I have so many contacts with Honglang. If you lose in this way, then you have to accept your fate. As for that trick, I don't want to use it, it's too embarrassing. ”

The mandarin duck said to himself: It doesn't matter if you accept your fate, but you want to implicate me and be unlucky. She had to run down to see Yan Hong first, and Yan Hong handed over a jade Buddha statue. Mandarin Duck accepted the gift with a smile, and said while leading him upstairs: "The two young masters are not here today. The master also has some important things to do, and I'm afraid he will have to go to Zhiweixuan in person. Yan Gongzi can stay as long as he wants, there is a little maid to control the wind for you, and there is no mistake. Even if there is any movement, no one will hear it. ”

When Yan Hong heard this, he said in his heart: You are simply an instigator. Lan Zhen has a special identity, how dare I have the slightest involvement with her. He couldn't help but be full of righteous indignation, stretched out his hand of justice, twisted it on the mandarin duck's chest, and said, "You little girl." If you don't learn well, is it just a jade Buddha? Sold your young lady? ”

The mandarin duck deliberately straightened his chest, "What did Yan Gongzi say, the situation of these two daughters taking their husbands, you and Miss have become a good thing sooner, and let Miss feel at ease as soon as possible, I am doing this for your good." ”

When Lu Lanzhen saw that the gifts that Yan Hong had carefully prepared for herself were all things that her daughter's family liked, it showed that she had put her heart into it, and her heart was very sweet. Then Yan Hong told the story of the entrenchment and the chaos one by one, only omitting all kinds of beautiful scenery and not mentioning it. Lu Lanzhen is like a Tongmeng student, listening to the teaching of the school teacher, listening quietly with her hands on her cheeks.

When she heard that Yan Hong had escaped death several times and was born and died, Lu Lanzhen couldn't help but say, "Honglang, didn't I say it when you left?" As long as you come back safely, it is better than anything else, and as for whether the thing is done or not, and the credit is large, you don't have to care. Why are you still working so hard? Could it be that my little sister's words have no effect in your heart at all? Do you know that when you died overseas, my little sister was going to go with you. If it weren't for my father making up false news to deceive me, and then news from you came back, you wouldn't be able to see me now. ”

Yan Hong stretched out his hand, grabbed Lu Lanzhen's jade wrist and said, "Virtuous sister, little brother, I feel that I am only a shallow learner, and I am really not worthy of you." Therefore, you can only make some merits desperately, so that when you marry someone in the future, you will marry a good man who stands up to the sky, not an incompetent gentleman. ”

Lu Lanzhen's heart was moved when she heard this, and she said, "Honglang, don't say that you are a gentleman. It's a penniless, street beggar, and I'm willing to follow you for the rest of my life. But now, Xu Ge belongs to you, he is a civil minister, my family is only a military attaché, and the Xu family has many adults and deep roots. In comparison, my family does not have the upper hand at all, if you abandon Xu Ge and become a little sister, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to your Yan family. ”

Yan Hong said: "Sister, little brother is here, don't you still understand my intentions?" Even the granddaughter of the Xu family is as beautiful as a fairy, and she doesn't want to shake me in the slightest! As for the affairs of the family, I have my own ideas, and if it is a big deal, I will go on a hunger strike again to see if they dare to force me to death! ”

Lu Lanzhen was greatly moved when she heard this, she had always felt that Yan Hongwas willing to die for her late mother, but she had no chance to verify whether Ailang would also die for herself, and she was worried in her heart. Hearing Yan Hong say this, he suddenly felt satisfied, leaned on Yan Hong's arms and said: "Honglang, with your sentence, you will die immediately, and I will admit it." ”

Yan Hong said: "What stupid things are you talking about, how can I be willing to let you die?" Saying that, she lowered her head and looked for her lips, although Lu Lanzhen's face was flushed with shame, she did not avoid it. She has always been well-informed in the big family, and this kiss made her face red and panting, and she said after a while: "Honglang, do you know the way." These days, I have not been idle. I've learned all the things I've learned well about managing the grange, the shop, and the accounts. If I had ever married, I would have been able to serve as a mother-in-law. I also have more than 10,000 taels of private money in my hand, and my father will also marry one-third of the family property as a dowry, and it will never be worse than the Miss Xu family. ”

You must know that this big lady listens to the majesty, and the actual responsibility is also great. The housekeeper is not only a kind of power, but also a kind of responsibility, the interpersonal relationship between the top and bottom, the expenses of the family's books, the monthly routine of the servants under his hands, the harvest of various granges, the relatives to visit and move around on the three festivals of the year, and the personal accounts of various red and white ceremonies, these are all the work that the lady of the main house has to manage.

Since the age of ten, Lu Lanzhen has received various professional training, which is far better than that of her late mother. As for the dowry and private room, it is even more incomparable to the late mother. The late mother married into the Yan family at the beginning, but she was tied to a sedan chair and carried in with her bare hands, how can she compare to a woman like Lu Lanzhen who brought her own dry food?

When it comes to connections, Lu Lanzhen's girlfriends who read the script and listen to the drama are not general, all of them are young ladies from high-ranking families, and after these people get married, they are all the ladies of the main room and the ladies of the palm print. This kind of personal relationship, which is also the so-called lady diplomacy, is a big help for Yan Hong's officialdom in the future. Therefore, as the assistant husband of the main wife, Lu Lanzhen is a few roads away from Hu Wanniang.

However, the above are not Lu Lanzhen's patents. Xu Jiehu has many adults, strong family wealth, and protégés and former officials are all over the court. In these aspects, Xu Ting, in turn, is better than Lan Zhen. Compared with personal knowledge, Lu Lanzhen is a few years older than Xu Ting, and she is definitely stronger, but this is not hardware. Therefore, Lu Lanzhen has a deep sense of crisis, and it is not difficult to understand.

Yan Hong smiled: "Zhen'er, I love you as a person, but I don't love your money." As you say, even if you don't have any money, I like you just as much. What's more, this property belongs to two eldest brothers, and it is divided into three parts, which is not very suitable. ”

Lu Lanzhen pouted and said, "What's inappropriate?" Give it to them, and they will be defeated sooner or later, so it is better to give it to me, and you can make money with money. In the future, our children will have to use money, and the more they will naturally share, the better. It is said that it is divided into three parts, and how to divide it, I have to nod. When the time comes, I will want those good lands and good shops, and I can't be cheap for those two bad brothers, and I will be matched with Li Maocai and Liu Shouyou, and I will be angry when I think about it. I've heard Mandarin Duck say, what kind of rough blank is Liu Shouyou, it's better to marry him than to die. "The so-called girl is outgoing, and she hasn't married yet, so she has been thinking about how to scavenge more from her brother.

The two of them have established their names, and their behavior is a little more presumptuous than in the past, especially when they reunite after a long absence, Lu Lanzhen is even more afraid that her lover will fly away, so she is especially welcome. Said: "Honglang...... I heard Mandarin ducks say that if a man can't get it, he will change his mind. If you want...... Just do it. I don't tell my dad that's it. Besides, as soon as I remembered that you were in danger twice, both of which were dead and alive, I thought, what if I didn't wait for you to be separated from you by heaven and man? Rather than keeping some etiquette and etiquette, it is better to be happy with your sweetheart overnight. ”

The two of them were close to each other, feeling the girl's delicate undulating body, and seeing her like this again, Yan Hong's heart swayed, and he really wanted to pick up the gun directly and get on the horse, galloping vertically and horizontally. But after all, he was afraid of Lu Bing, and he didn't dare to really cross the Lei Chi, and comforted: "Good girl, don't worry, I won't leave you." From now on, I won't do anything dangerous, just rest assured. Wouldn't it be better to leave the good things of the two of us until the day of Xiao Dengke? ”

In the evening, Lu Bing returned home and had dinner with the children. Seeing the appearance of his daughter, he knew that Yan Hong had chosen his own girl, and the two of them did not do anything deviant, so they were very happy.

In the matter of the marriage between the two parties, Lu Bing actually had a lot of fire. Xiao Ge Lao was in a hurry to marry his own daughter, but his daughter couldn't get married. Now that he's relieved, he's picked up the shelf again, do you really think he's a bully? The direct reflection of Lu Bing's anger is that Yan Hong's matter has been suppressed. It is said that with his merits, it is not difficult to get an errand to govern the north and Fu Si, but with Lu Bing in the middle, he only said that he is too young to rise too high and too fast, and his foundation is not solid, so it is difficult to master his subordinates. He also said that he will be of great use in the future, and if there are too many rewards, it is inevitable that there will be no promotion in the future, and there will be no reward.
