Chapter 63

When I arrived at jiangjiabieyuan, Lian Chen and others who still lived here were very surprised: "didn't they say you went out of the city?"

"I went to see Princess Tai and her mother and talked with them." The tomb of Princess Lian is close to that of Princess Ruan. When Qiulan wants to speak to Princess Ruan alone, she orders Suhe and others to clean the tomb of Princess Xia too. It doesn't feel guilty to say that, "I just remember on my way back. I was in a trance when I left. I forgot to talk to my uncle."

"Well, we should see it, too." Lian Chen stroked his long beard, sighed, and said, "now Qiu Mengmin's real eyes are finally opened, and Lu died of fear of sin. You go to comfort the spirits of the elders in the sky, of course..."

"Autumn drag LAN a Leng:" Lu Shi cringes to die

"This is the conclusion of heaven." Lian Jianhao said with a smile.

Autumn drag LAN suddenly understood, this is definitely the conclusion of empress Jiang - she asked: "then my uncle?"

"Because the two little princes in the West River Palace refused to take their place, there was no other reason for the Empress Dowager to return Qiu Mengmin to the West River King." Lian Jianhai said, "but the empress punished him for another ten years' salary, and took all the ranks except his rank as king and Lord..."

Speaking of this, he reminded, "the queen should give you praise and comfort, but you are out of the city. When did you come back? Haven't you been to the palace? I think you may have to show thanks. "

"Thank you so much for the Bertie." Autumn swaying LAN nodded, thinking how can empress Jiang make Qiu Mengmin so easily reset? There must be something inside. She added, "it's thanks to your hardworking and long journey to prove that you can avenge your grandmother this time."

Lian Chen said: "what do you thank us for? Your grandmother is my sister, we speak for you, shouldn't we? In the past few years, we haven't been able to protect you completely because we are so far away, which has hurt your mother and daughter a lot. How can we still face your thanks? "

Naturally, Qiu Tailan is busy to say that there is something worthy of her thanks in the Lian family - after a while of greetings, she turns to the main topic: "although Lu died of fear of sin, she is the biological mother of her uncle. Now she's gone. I'm afraid my uncle's mouth won't say anything, and he's got a little bit of a problem with me. "

She bit her lips and looked at Lian Chen. "Please give me some advice, so that I don't get angry with my uncle any more."

"That's a problem." Lian Chen looked at Lian Jianhao and Lian Jianhai and said, "it's a pity that you don't have a wife in your family. Now you can't stop raising them in the palace."

He pondered for a while and said, "well, I'll let your two cousins stay, and then I'll pick up your aunts. They can visit you from time to time. In autumn, Meng min should be wary of rats and dare not be harsh on you

Lian Jianhao seems to want to say something.

Lian Chen took a look at him and said, "what's the matter?"

"When Xiang family came, although they could visit their nieces often, they were in plain sight after all." Lian Jianhao hesitated, "except for Qiu Mengmin, who is his wife, concubine and children, how can the people in Xihe mansion not be the prince of the family, but the young princess?"

Autumn traction LAN slightly frowns, seems to feel very upset.

"Then do you have an idea?" Lian Chen asked in a deep voice.

Lian Jianhao said: "after my little sister is widowed, in order to concentrate on raising her little son, she vowed not to marry again..."

This reminds Lian Chen and says to Qiulan, "your cousin, your great grandmother, and her husband are both talented and beautiful people. But it's a pity that your uncle Fu Bo didn't make it through when he took the village test at the age of 20. Later he came out third in high school, but it was not interesting They have only one daughter under their knees, whose name is light and shallow. They are one year younger than you. "

The point is, "your cousin is thinking about her husband and wife's love and youth. Although she is young and widowed, she doesn't intend to remarry.". At the beginning of last year, the village set up a memorial archway for her

The atmosphere of Darui is open, and it's not new to divorce and remarriage, so there are not many chastity archways. But the function of the memorial archway is just as great - although Lian Biao Gu has no future, she must be polite when she sees it with her chastity memorial archway, which is not easy to be treated as an ordinary woman.

Lian's family said this, and the meaning was clear: I hope that qiutiailan would take the initiative to ask for the aunt Lian Biao to come to Beijing and accompany her to live in the palace.

After all, Lian Biao and Qiu Mengmin are the same generation, and they are the niece of Qiu Mengmin's mother. As long as she doesn't make a big mistake, Qiu Mengmin is not easy to take her. In particular, she has the status of a festival woman, that is, Princess Yang, also can't hold her at will.

With this cousin's company, qiutiailan can save a lot of troubles in private - but who knows if it will cause other troubles?

Autumn drag LAN has not seen this cousin again. If she is the kind of owner who abides by the rules and is almost pedantic, isn't that to find a pair of shackles for herself! When the time comes, please go. It's not so easy to send them away. Even the Lian family will be offended if they are not careful.

So autumn drag LAN quietly way: "Lian Biao Gu's martyrdom, is really admirable!" But nothing else.

Seeing this, Lian Chen stroked his long beard and exchanged glances with Lian Jianhao and Lian Jianhai - because before, he thought that Qiu Tailan was not like an ordinary 13-year-old girl, and it was not easy to coax her. They were not disappointed at this meeting, but said kindly: "your Lian cousin has a good disposition, and the shallow child under her knee is also a good child. If she comes to Beijing, you have more than one sister to walk around. ""That's wonderful." Autumn drag LAN a face to agree, but also such a sentence.

Lian Chen looks like this and knows that even though she knows that she will have a lot of trouble living alone in the palace in the future, she still doesn't want to make a decision without seeing Lian's aunt.

So he stopped talking about it, and turned to other things: "it's gratifying to hear that general Ruan's descendants won the apricot list this time!"

As expected, Xueba's relatives can have long faces wherever they go - because it's cousin, Qiulan doesn't need to be humble on behalf of Ruan Qingyan, so she says with a smile: "cousin Ruan is really talented."

"It's said that general Ruan is the youngest of the kogons." Lian Ding's eyes were bright, and he dared not speak. He couldn't help but interjected, "I'm two years younger than general Ruan. I'm not even a scholar now!"

Lian Jianhai snorted, "you are not Xiao Zi. How can you compare with Ruan's army?"

Autumn drag LAN secretly laments the world situation: because Jiang Ya frost is the first son of Jiang ban Chao's family, and his father, general Beida of the town, has a heavy army in his hand, so even if he is only a white body, he will be called a little general Jiang respectfully.

Ruan Qingyan, who was also the general's heir and the only heir of general Ruan, was admitted as a Gongshi. All the people remembered that there was a general behind him.

Lian Chenyuan has come to a circle and asked Lian Jianhai not to train his son any more. Then he said to Qiu: "I'm afraid that there will be many visitors in general Ruan's house these days. You used to live there, but now you don't know whether it's convenient or not?"

"Autumn drag LAN way:" the day that the court will disperse, I took a person to move back to the palace

"Be careful." Lian Chen frowned and said, "it's necessary to be defensive After all, your uncle is the king now. Alas, it's a pity that we left in a hurry. We didn't have time to take the women with us, or we'll keep you here. "

"Don't worry, uncle. How many days have passed since Lu Shiyan committed suicide? Even if my uncle is angry with me for this reason, he dare not treat me as soon as he wants, otherwise he will not be too contemptuous of the empress? " "I come today, but I have a big event. I want to ask my uncle to be the master!" said Qiu with a smile

Lian Chen was surprised and asked, "what is it?"

"You know my grandmother and my mother, I'm the only one who lives." "Autumn drag LAN sighed," according to saying their dowry, also should return to me - it's not that I am greedy for wealth, but the thing left by this elder generation, how can it be given to people as casually as ordinary things? My aunt and my aunt took the chance to take away a lot of them I'm worried. Outsiders don't know what happened. They think I don't care about my grandmother's and my wife's things! "

Hearing this, Lian's family all changed their faces and said, "this is not a matter of greed for money or money. No one can touch a woman's dowry except her own flesh and blood! This is a rule that has been established since ancient times, and it is also a book in the law of Darui! How can the royal palace not only disobey the imperial concubine, but even her things

Lian Ding was very indignant and said: "grandfather, they don't even pay attention to the meaning of auntie. Sheng Sheng Sheng has welcomed Lu Shi to the palace to support him for more than ten years. How can they not touch Auntie Ruan's things! It's really bullying cousin Qiu! "

"How many things did they take? Have you seen the list? " Lian Chen's face is not very good-looking, but he is not very anxious - this kind of thing that knows who's right and who's wrong at a glance. As a logical side, he is not really worried. Anyway, the West River mansion is still there, and if it's gone, he will call them to pay for it!

The result is that autumn drag LAN helplessly way: "the problem is here, too imperial concubine and mother imperial concubine's dowry list, I have not seen one. Ask the people in front of the concubine and they say they don't know. I suspected that my aunt or aunt had taken them, but they also asked me for them before! I don't know whether it's true or not. They didn't take it? "

"It's nothing." Lian Chen frowned at this, then stretched out again, and said, "the dowry of the imperial concubine when she came out of the pavilion, we have a list at home! Although I didn't expect to bring it this time, I'd better send a letter back to get it. "

"Afraid of the road..." Lian Ding can't help reminding.

Thinking of the swords and swords along the way, as well as those who died in front of their own Jiang family, Lian Chen could not help but blush!

Even though the Jiang family has sacrificed a lot of people to escort the Lian family and trust them to Beijing, even though the Jiang family has a great career, it is not to call the beast, but to help without saying help.

And even though empress dowager Gu is no longer involved in the dowry list, the Lian family can't compete with the Xihe palace.

She was just about to say that Qiu Mengmin and his wife are now "lying ill". Would they hurry back in this light But listen to Lian Jian's Haidao: "ding'er didn't say the other day that he saw Qiu Xia in Beijing?"

"Yes!" Lian Ding said happily, "how can I forget Qiu Xia? If Qiu Xia is willing to do it, as long as it's not as dangerous as it was when he came back, I think it will be OK! "

"Autumn drags LAN to be surprised to say:" autumn Xia

"He is a Jianghu guest." Lian Jianhao explained, "it seems that they came out of the school, but somehow they didn't follow the right path again, and they went into the Jianghu by mistake...""Er Bo, Qiu Xia said that the eldest husband should read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles." Lian Ding seemed to admire the so-called "autumn Xia" and quarreled with Lian Jianhao in public. "Autumn Xia is still young. How do you know if he will take the imperial examination again? What's more, Qiu Xia is heroic and uninhibited. He walks thousands of miles and does countless chivalrous things. According to his nephew, he is better than many scholars... "

Lian Jianhai frowned: "shut up! Who will allow you to disrespect your second uncle! "

Lian Jianhao is busy saying that there is nothing to do - Lian Chen is too lazy to pay attention to the little things of the younger generation, and then he says to Qiu: "a few years ago, there were several murders in Lanxi. After the crime was determined, the Yamen servants went to arrest them, but they have gone far away! The victim's family members naturally refused to give up. After being introduced, they invited him from the South - indeed, a man of great reputation, who sent the criminal's head to yamen within a month. What's more, he would recover the reward points of the criminal's head and the families killed. He took only a small part and then left in a daze! "

Lian Ding said excitedly, "he has come to our house!"

"Your second cousin guessed that he came from a scholar's family. He secretly posted on our door and borrowed our books for a few days." Lian Chen stroked his long beard and said, "so I have some old feelings This person has a very high reputation in the Jianghu and is said to have a very high martial arts. If he helps you, you can rest assured a lot Just... "

"Autumn drag LAN curiously ask:" just what Suddenly a wild great Xia came out. She wanted to visit her!

"It's just that the source of this person is unknown." Lian Chen said in a deep voice, "Qiu Xia is a respected name in the Jianghu. It's said that when he first started his career, he met Xiao Luomu. Someone asked him his name in the tavern. He looked at the boundless wood falling outside the railing and said" autumn wind ". How can I hear that? The dowry list is just one now, in case he asked someone else..."
