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

"

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

Inexplicably funny.

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

However, the old lady quite trusted her nephew, "If A Yuan takes action, there is nothing 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 what to say for a moment, so she drank tea and glanced at Zhao Chengyuan who was calm and composed from time to time.

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

Even between her and the old man, A Yuan's closeness was limited. There seemed to be thousands of mountains and rivers between him and him, and there were clouds and fog, making it difficult for people to see clearly and not get close.

That girl from the Chen family is quite capable.

Zhao Chengyuan did not raise his head and said calmly, "If aunt has anything to say, just ask her."

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

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

Can I eat and sleep?

The old lady gave him an angry look, "You can't say that to a girl. No matter how much she eats, can she eat a whole plate of steamed buns? You should learn from your uncle. Even if I eat a whole plate of steamed buns, he still thinks I eat too little.

, it’s time to eat more.”

Zhao Chengyuan raised the corners of his lips slightly, she could indeed.

The old lady sighed, "The child's life experience was also pitiful. First, her family was exterminated, and then she was hunted down. She didn't feel sorry for herself, but she had a rare temperament. Has she been summoned? She is a little girl, you have to take better care of her."

She also roughly knew the whole story. Money was so attractive. She wouldn't believe it unless court officials were involved.

Now the two cases are combined into one case, and the prince is in charge. The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple are jointly investigating the case. The prefects of Xiangping Prefecture and Yuming Prefecture are summoned for investigation. But what name can be found out, whether it is true or false, but it is not

Easy to say.

It would be better if the Chen family girl had the support of Duke Ding, but if she was abandoned by them...

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

Zhao Chengyuan was silent for a moment and said, "Originally, the interrogation was to take place two days ago. Considering her young age, the Criminal Department waited until other witnesses arrived before interrogating her, so that there would be no need to travel 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 seemed to suggest that this place did not have three hundred taels of silver.

The officials of the Ministry of Justice 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 couldn't see any clues from his face. She just lowered her eyes and drank tea indifferently.

It's quite pretendable.

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

Zhao Chengyuan read the post, "Chrysanthemum banquet? My aunt never likes to go to these banquets, why is she interested this time?"

Install, continue to install.

Don't you want to go see that girl?

The old lady looked kind and said, "Now that the three brothers have reached the marriageable age, and their parents are not around, I, as a grandmother, have to worry a lot. It is impossible to meet the right one at the flower viewing party."

Is she a girl?"

Zhao Chengyuan looked at the old lady's poor acting skills and returned the post, "I won't be free the day after tomorrow, so I will arrange a team of guards to escort my aunt."

Not going?

Don’t you want to see your wife anymore?

The old lady left angrily.

A Yuan is a man of firm mind, and his decisions rarely change.

He refused to go, and it was useless to persuade him.

That’s all, as long as she’s here, this wife can’t run away!

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

"yes!"

--

Dingguo Gongfu.

The servants in the house are already very busy, and the impromptu banquet is the most important thing. Time is tight for everything from cleaning inside and outside, setting up the banquet, and snacks.

All the ladies who came here were high-ranking ladies. If one of them failed to provide good hospitality and made the noble lady unhappy, they and the other servants would all be held responsible.

And all of this stemmed from the fact that my cousin loved to eat chrysanthemums. The old lady was kind-hearted and followed her wishes, but she caused so much extra trouble.

At this time, Mrs. Wen finally understood her mother-in-law's plan. She was forced to hold this flower viewing banquet. If something happened to Chen Youning at this banquet, no one else would be able to find their fault.

Moreover, Chen Youning's reputation for being domineering had already spread quietly. Without them having to do anything, everyone already had a preconceived impression, and the rest would fall into place.

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

The two of them have been studying middle school with her since two years ago. She is the mistress of the first house, and Han Qinglian also calls her mother. She can't treat one favorably.

However, this concubine is a little too careful after all. Despite her lowly status, she refuses to accept her fate and thinks of overpowering Wan'er in everything.

Wan'er has been carefully trained by the old lady since she was a child, and she has spent countless efforts. How can she be defeated by a concubine with just a little cleverness?

The maid came in and reported, "Madam, the Anling Marquis has sent two carriages full of chrysanthemums, and they are waiting in the outer courtyard."

Little Wen raised her head in surprise, Anling Houfu?

Are you sure you're not sending rocks or knives?

When it comes to chrysanthemums, each house usually has a pot of chrysanthemums, 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 Mr. Lu Xiaohou."

Han Qinglian felt unhappy because Lu Xiaohou had never found her among the ladies in the capital when choosing a wife. Although she had not yet had hair extensions, Han Qingwan had not yet had hair extensions when Lu Lin was flirting with her!

To put it bluntly, I don’t think she is a concubine!

She couldn't help but said sourly, "Sister, does this mean that these flowers were given to you by the young Marquis?"

Han Qingwan put down her pen and stood up, "You'll know when you go over and take a look."

Han Qinglian curled her lips. She didn't think that the young prince could be so bold. The Anling Houfu was the aunt of Prince Jin. Maybe the Houfu heard that the cook in Prince Jin's house had caused many chrysanthemums.

Why don't you just send some chrysanthemums to apologize?

She tilted her head innocently, "If eldest sister loses, do you have to accept the punishment?"

Han Youning smiled and said, "Okay, accept the punishment. What does the second sister want to punish me for?"

Han Qinglian looked at the golden hairpin in Han Qinglian's hair. The hairpin was inlaid with a huge East Pearl, which was dazzling.

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

Han Qingwan has always regarded it as a treasure. I heard that when not wearing it, it must be locked up with several layers of locks.

Han Qinglian pointed to her gold hairpin and asked with a smile, "Can the eldest sister part with this gold hairpin from Dadongzhu?"
