History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 10

It’s not too far from He Wenzhan’s study to Lanling Courtyard. Turn around the He family’s study building and walk inward for a while. On the left, bypassing the rockery is He Weijie’s Yawen Courtyard. On the right, enter the vertical flower gate and enter the inner courtyard of He Mansion. Entering the door is Lanling Courtyard .Xu Lang and He Weijie met in the small pavilion in the bamboo forest, and they happened to walk together along the way.

Along the way, He Wenzhan naturally had to talk with Xu Lang, because Xu Lang's father is now guarding the frontier fortress, so he couldn't help talking about the people's feelings there.Lin Lang followed He Wenzhan, and had no chance to speak to Xu Lang alone.

Seeing the fork in the road, Lin Lang shook He Wenzhan's arm, "Father, I'll go and see my sister-in-law, shall I go back later?" Their aunts and nephews were in harmony, so He Wenzhan would not allow it, so she just told her to go early. back.

Lin Lang walked over to Ya Wen Yuan, and from a distance, she saw Mother Zhou, who was beside the eldest lady, was leading a few people out of the courtyard, and there was a little maid who was crying and clung to the door and refused to go out, and was dragged out by two women , aggressive and noisy.Lin Lang didn't know what happened there, but she couldn't get over the situation, so she made a detour and walked towards the bamboo forest.

Walking past the rockery and flowers and trees, Xu Lang was walking towards the bamboo forest led by the servant on the green stone road ahead.Lin Lang ran over a few steps and called Brother Xu, and Xu Lang stopped.

She walked up to her and asked with a smile, "Second brother Xu, how is the matter entrusted to you?"

Xu Lang waved his hand and told the boy to wait for him, saying: "The man has been found, and he is very desperate."

"Second brother Xu, please arrange a safe place for her?" Lin Lang blinked her dark and clear eyes, a little worried.Xu Lang has grown taller over the past few years, and his body has been strengthened by practicing martial arts. She has only just reached his waist and abdomen, and she is very tired when talking with her head up.

Xu Lang bowed with great interest, and asked her, "But how can I meddle in your housework?"

Put on a show!Lin Lang slandered.It was promised well earlier, but now it comes out like this, it must be an old mistake again.

She was still smiling, "How can Aunt Bai's affairs be considered our housework? She is in despair right now, if Second Brother Xu arranges a way out for her, I'm afraid it's too late to be grateful." Seeing Xu Lang, he couldn't help himself He had no choice but to promise: "Yesterday I got the fan painted by Monk Daoqing, and I will give it to my second brother to enjoy."

Monk Daoqing was an elegant monk in the former dynasty, he could draw a very good bamboo fan, although it is not a treasure, it is hard to find.

Satisfied, Xu Lang tapped her forehead with his hand, said "Ghostly and clever", got up and left.

Lin Lang made faces at his back.I thought that Xu Lang had learned a lot in the past few years after going to Mobei, and he should be as dignified and steady inside as he looked on the outside. Who knew that he was still the same as before, and he loved to lie about her little girl's things, and he was so righteous in lying, so he was ashamed!
Lin Lang was silly when she was a child, Xu Lang loved to tease her very much, taking advantage of his age, he stole a lot of things from her, even though he gave better things to make up for it later, it finally made Lin Lang care.Later, when he got older, Lin Lang could no longer be fooled easily, so he used various methods to coax and even blackmail, and he never tired of it.

Lin Lang was puzzled, for a child from the same rich family, could her things be so good?
However, what he promised could not fail, Linlang took the bamboo fan of Monk Daoqing to He Weijie the next day, and entrusted him to pass it on to Xu Lang.

When Lin Lang went to the Yawen Academy, the atmosphere was not very good. He Weijie seemed to have something on his mind. Although he agreed to her, he didn't tease her as usual.The door of Jiang's house was tightly closed, Lin Lang guessed that the incident would not be easy, so she left first.

Her guess was soon confirmed.

When I went to Qingyuan hall to say hello in the morning, the doctor's face was very ugly, maybe she had explained the reason to the old lady in advance, after waiting for everyone to sit down for a while, the old lady said: "I still have something to discuss today, girl Xuan, You take your sisters out first."

He Xuanji obeyed, got up and greeted the sisters to go out, and took the maids away by the way. Only the old lady, several wives and aunts and two granddaughters-in-law were left in the room.

The old lady sat upright at the head, and said with a serious face: "Leave everyone here today, I have something important to discuss." Then she turned to the eldest lady, "Tell everyone to listen."

The eldest lady glanced at everyone present, and said slowly: "Yue Niang said that she was not feeling well, so she asked the doctor to come and have a look. Who would have known that someone wanted to harm the child in her womb!" Everyone here was shocked, she looked at everyone's faces calmly, and continued: "Later, I seriously investigated, and it was the work of Mrs. Wu in the outer court and Yinyan, the little maid in Yueniang's house. After finding out, I sent them away."

The room was quiet, and the eldest lady was obviously very angry. Even though she tried her best to endure the suppression, her voice was still a little trembling, "I asked the old lady what she meant about this matter. So far, I won't get to the bottom of who is behind it. Having said that, I want everyone to know that we are a family after all, no matter what kind of calculations anyone makes, let's put it away, and if this kind of thing happens in the future, I will tell the old man, everyone Don't try to escape!"

She has always had the demeanor of a mistress, and when she speaks loudly, even the demeanor of the old lady above was overwhelmed by her.

The room was quiet for a while, the second lady glanced at the eldest lady, then turned her eyes to look upwards.The old lady said in a timely manner: "If this matter hadn't been discovered early, I'm afraid it would really hurt the child in Yueniang's womb. Mrs. Wu and Yinyan couldn't serve the master wholeheartedly, and they have already been punished. It's good for everyone to know about this matter. Go back Also take care of the people in the courtyard."

Such an attitude made the eldest lady sneer imperceptibly, she was too lazy to talk to the old lady, and left after she finished talking.

When everyone came out of Qingyuan Hall, the eldest lady told Qin Shi to stop, approached her and said, "Fourth brother and sister, I'm afraid the sixth girl is in my courtyard right now, so why don't you go and have a seat?" This obviously has something to say, Qin Shi naturally agreed.
