Chapter 46

The old lady leaned forward, she had a good impression of this talent who coincided with her, "If you have such great talent, you should try to win over him, no matter what conditions he asks, just agree to it. "

Zhao Chengyuan drank tea unhurriedly, in the mist of tea, there seemed to be a fat bamboo shoot doll with a serious face, "In my life, the only thing I can rely on is the pillow, and forget about the others."

Inexplicably funny.

He put down the teacup, with a smile on his lips, "I'm afraid it won't be easy to win over."

The old lady trusted her nephew quite a bit, "Ah Yuan can do anything, nothing is impossible. It depends on whether you want to or not."

Zhao Chengyuan smiled and shook his head.

There are always things that he can't do anything about.

The old lady didn't think about how to speak for a while, so she drank tea and glanced at the calm Zhao Chengyuan from time to time.

A Yuan lost his parents and lack of family affection since he was a child, which created his indifferent temperament, and he was not close to others since he was a child.

Even she and the old man, Ah Yuan, are limited in their closeness.There seems to be thousands of mountains and rivers between him and others, and there are clouds and mists covering him, so people can't see clearly and can't get close.

That girl from the Chen family is quite capable.

Zhao Chengyuan didn't even look up, and said calmly, "Auntie has anything to say, just ask."

The old lady smiled and put down the teacup, "How is the girl from the Chen family that you escorted back?"

Zhao Chengyuan thought for a while, "She has always been able to eat and sleep, so she must be pretty good."

Can eat and sleep?

The old lady shot him a look, "You can't say that about a girl. No matter how much she eats, can she eat a whole plate of buns? You can follow your uncle's example. Even if I eat a whole plate of buns, he thinks I eat too little." , you should eat more."

The corners of Zhao Chengyuan's lips raised slightly, she could indeed.

The old lady sighed, "The child's life experience is also pitiful. First she was exterminated and then hunted down. She didn't complain about herself, but she has a rare heart. Has she been summoned? She is a little girl, you should take care of her."

She also roughly knows the whole story of some things, money is fascinating, and courtiers are not involved in it, she doesn't believe it.

Now these two cases are merged into one case, and the crown prince is in charge. The Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple jointly investigate the case.But it is hard to say what name can be found out, whether it is true or not.

It's fine if the girl of the Chen family is supported by Duke Ding, but if she is rejected by them...

Don't be afraid of that, there is also their Anling Hou Mansion.

Zhao Chengyuan was silent for a moment, and said, "Originally, the interrogation was scheduled for the first two days. Considering her young age, the Ministry of Punishment waited for other witnesses to arrive before interrogating her, so there was no need to run all the way."

He paused, "She doesn't need me to take care of her."

The old lady felt that the second half of his sentence was quite suspicious of not having three hundred taels of silver here.

The officials of the Ministry of Punishment are all cold-faced and cold-hearted, and they don't seem to be considerate of others. Did you say hello in private?

She stared at Zhao Chengyuan for a long time, but she didn't see any clues from his face, she just drank tea with her eyes downcast.

It's quite wearable.

The old lady took out the invitation card and handed it over, "Would you accompany me to the flower viewing banquet at Duke Dingguo's mansion?"

Zhao Chengyuan looked at the post, "Chrysanthemum banquet? My aunt never likes to go to these banquets, why are you interested this time?"

Install, continue to install.

You don't want to go and see that girl?

The old lady said with a loving look, "Now that the three of their brothers have reached the age of marriage, and their parents are not around, I, as a grandmother, have to worry about it. Maybe I will meet the right one at the flower viewing feast." Where's the girl?"

Zhao Chengyuan took a look at the old lady's poor acting skills, and returned the post, "I won't be free in the future, and I will arrange a team of guards to escort my aunt."

Why don't you go?
Don't see your wife anymore?
The old lady left resentfully.

A Yuan is a person with a firm mind, and things he decides are rarely reversed.

He said no, and it was useless to persuade him.

Forget it, with her here anyway, this daughter-in-law can't escape!

Zhao Chengyuan watched the old lady leave the courtyard, and told Ye Chang, "Go and find out what's going on with Dingguo's mansion."

"Yes!"
-
Dingguo government office.

The servants in the mansion are already busy, the impromptu banquet is the worst, the cleaning inside and outside, the arrangement of the banquet, the snacks on the table, everything is very tight.

The people who came were all noble ladies, if a poor hospitality made the nobleman displeased, the servants like them should bear the responsibility.

And all of this stems from Miss Biao's love of eating chrysanthemums.The old lady kindly complied with her wishes, but it caused so many extra troubles.

At this time, Xiao Wen finally understood her mother-in-law's calculations. This flower viewing banquet was forced to be held. If something happened to Chen Youning at this banquet, others would not be able to find their fault.

Moreover, Chen Youning's domineering reputation had already spread quietly, so they didn't need to do anything, everyone already had a preconceived impression, and then the following things would come naturally.

She was busy without touching the ground, and finally posted all the posts, and now she is discussing the proposed menu with Han Qingwan and Han Qinglian.

The two of them have been studying with her since two years ago. She is the mistress of a house, and Han Qinglian also calls her mother, so she can't favor one over the other.

But this concubine, after all, is a little more careful.The humble status is there, but she refuses to accept her fate, thinking about everything to suppress Wan'er.

Wan'er was carefully trained by the old lady's side since she was a child, and it took a lot of effort. How could she, a concubine, be able to overwhelm her with a little cleverness?

The servant girl came in and reported, "Ma'am, the Anling Hou Mansion sent a carriage full of chrysanthemums, and they are waiting in the outer courtyard."

Xiao Wen raised her head in surprise, Anling Hou Mansion?

Are you sure it's not sending stones or knives?

And fighting chrysanthemums usually has one pot in each prefecture, but there is no reason to send two carriages of chrysanthemums.

Han Qingwan sighed softly, and said helplessly, "I'm afraid it was given by Lord Lu Xiaohou."

Han Qinglian was upset that Lord Lu Xiaohou had never found her to pick a daughter-in-law from all the ladies in the capital.Although she has not yet reached Ji, but when Lu Lin flattered Han Qingwan, Han Qingwan also did not reach Ji!
To put it bluntly, I look down on her as a concubine!
She couldn't help but said sourly, "Elder Sister, does it mean that these flowers were given to you by Young Master?"

Han Qingwan put down her pen and stood up, "You can tell by just looking at it."

Han Qinglian curled her lips, she didn't think the young master could be so bold.The Marquis of Anling is the family of Prince Jin. Maybe the Marquis sent some chrysanthemums to make amends when they heard that the cooks of Prince Jin’s residence had harmed many chrysanthemums?
She tilted her head naively, "If eldest sister loses, will she have to admit punishment?"

Han Qingwan smiled, "Okay, accept the punishment, what does Second Sister want to punish me for?"

Han Qinglian looked at the golden hairpin in Han Qingwan's hair. The head of the hairpin was inlaid with a huge oriental bead, which was dazzling.

The emperor rewarded the eldest uncle with two Dongzhu, and the uncle gave both to the old lady.The old lady kept one for herself, and gave the other to Han Qingwan for this golden hairpin.

Han Qingwan has always regarded it as a treasure, and it is said that she has to lock it with several layers of locks when she is not wearing it.

Han Qinglian pointed to her golden hairpin, and asked with a smile, "Is the elder sister willing to part with this golden hairpin from Dadongzhu?"
