The Fuyun Tower was brightly lit, even within a few dozen steps outside. When Zhao Jiuniang saw Mu Liang approaching, she covered her forehead and sighed. It turned out that the two of them came out to play.
She walked over quickly, chased away the blind girl, and ordered the servant to drive the shopkeeper into the backyard, so as not to spoil the owner.
Lin Ran looked blankly at the driven crowd, not understanding what Jiu Niang meant, but she didn't care too much, turned to look for Mu Liang, and said first: "Why are the people in Fuyun Tower so strange."
Mu Liang has taken care of the affairs of Fuyun Building, accounts and other necessary things, and understands some small things, but said lightly: "The salesman sells medicine for avoiding children."
There are also some shady things.
Lin Ran recalled the things in the peddler's basket just now, and seemed to feel that something was wrong: "It's not the anti-children medicine, there are other things, weird and weird, I haven't seen it before."
Seeing her thinking hard, Mu Liang felt a pain in her head, and handed her the white rabbit she bought: "Go back and raise it, and keep the little tiger as a companion."
"Aren't you afraid that the little tiger will eat it?" Lin Ran held the palm-sized rabbit, as if Fang was born not long ago. The little tiger was bigger than a cat, so he must have eaten it in one bite.
Holding the little rabbit, Lin Ran really changed his mind, and didn't think about the absurd thing just now, he kept muttering all the way: "Could it be too small, what should I do if I eat it?"
"Eat it, just eat it, let people watch it." Mu Liang responded casually.
Back at the mansion, it was the curfew time, Lin Ran put the rabbit on the table, the little tiger came over immediately, jumped on the table, and saw that the stranger was a child.
It tilted its head to look at it, carefully stretched out its meaty claws, and then just as Lin Ran turned around, he patted the rabbit with one paw.
The servant girl was so frightened that she picked up the rabbit, "Little ancestor, can you survive with this claw?"
The little tiger flew into the air, and howled twice in aggrieved way. This is how it treats new friends. This is how the cats were photographed in the past few times.
"The rabbit will be taken care of by you, beware of it, don't let it be eaten." Lin Ran threw the rabbit to the maidservant, the little tiger was taken care of by herself, she went to look for Ah Liang.
The next day, when Mu Liang returned to the palace, the deflated little tiger jumped into the carriage, Lin Ran went to the shop, and the two parted at the gate of the mansion.
Last year, I saved up some cotton clothes. What the stewards meant was to give the old ones to the people first, and then price the new ones when they came.
The steward felt sorry for Yinzi, Lin Ran knew what she meant, and said, "It's okay, you can send the old one out first, and then worry about the new one when it arrives, and besides, after sending out the cotton clothes, keep an eye on Zhao's Embroidery Workshop."
She has no intention of comparing, but the Zhao family is not benevolent, so she will not be kind. This winter, the cotton clothes of Luoyang people will all come from the Lin family.
After the steward agreed, she added another sentence: "The common people who come to get the cotton-padded clothes should show the poverty certificate of the household department, so as not to be fooled by others."
This will also find some errands for the court to do.
"It's still the Patriarch's thoughtfulness, so I'll get someone to post the notice." The steward frowned, because he was afraid that someone would come to deceive him, and he couldn't make a good judgment, so he could tell the difference.
After Lin Ran ordered, His Highness Xinyang told the household department not to hand out the poverty certificates at will. After all, the Lin family is for the bottom people and doesn't want to be taken advantage of.
The silver that His Highness Chang Le obtained must be inexhaustible, she thought for a while, and sent the remaining half to His Highness Xinyang, so that the Beiya Army could put more cotton-padded clothes against the cold winter.
The clothes of the Beiya army were woven from Jiangnan, and the Lin family could not do this business. With Jiangnan weaving, the Lin family did lose business.
The steward quickly finished writing the notice, and posted it in the Lin family's embroidery workshop. Lin Ran counted the time and went to pick up Ah Liang back home.
Now that the Ninth Prince's Mansion is full of smog, she was afraid that Ah Liang would suffer a loss. When she left the embroidery workshop on horseback, she met Zhao Fuyun outside.
He must have heard the wind, Zhao Fuyun was wearing an apricot-colored pleated skirt, with a phoenix hairpin inserted obliquely on the top of the bun mountain.The head of the hairpin is a tiny gemstone with exquisite workmanship, which matches her temperament very well.
She gave people a charming but not gorgeous beauty, Lin Ran's eyes flashed with amazement, and he dismounted unconsciously, "Miss Zhao."
"Patriarch Lin is so courageous. Does this mean that the lives of other embroidery workshops have been cut off?" She smiled, her intention was obvious.
Lin Ran said calmly: "It's just a few poor people. The Zhao family's silk is for the rich and powerful, so there must be no loss."
The Zhao family's silk is better than the Lin family's, but the Lin family has been in Luoyang for a long time, and many officials do not lack the money, so they naturally choose the Lin family.Ordinary people embraced each other, but now the Lin family is sending cotton-padded clothes, which makes other embroidery workshops lack some people.
There were many people crowded in front of the door, and the two did not avoid talking, Zhao Fuyun smiled bitterly: "Patriarch Lin really makes people feel uncomfortable."
Lin Ran's heart skipped a beat when she heard her charming voice. The words sounded extremely ambiguous. She took two steps back, puffed her chest out and said, "Miss Zhao, you're welcome. I'll go pick up my wife, so I won't talk to you any more."
Zhao Fuyun moved half a step away, his eyes soft and helpless, Lin Ran pretended not to see it, and left directly.
When she arrived at the palace, she happened to have lunch, but there was no movement of eating in the palace, so she was led to the inner courtyard, where she heard the voice of the prince: "This shit doesn't make sense, I just don't admit it, you admit it yourself, find the mansion to marry yourself If you want me to admit it, then you have to withdraw from this marriage, Mu Shan's marriage is up to me."
Dad was in a hurry, and the word "shit doesn't make sense" came out again.
She stayed outside for a while, and waited for the sound in the room to quiet down before entering.
After entering the room, everyone's faces were already dimmed. When the old lady saw Lin Ran approaching, she restrained herself a little and didn't mention those things again, and ordered someone to prepare the meal.
Today the concubine has lost the arrogance of yesterday, and her every move is extremely well-behaved, and I don't know how to discuss it.
Lin Ran originally planned to take Mu Liang away after dinner. After all, it is not easy to get involved in the affairs of the Mu family. It would be fine if he took the money directly, but it was such an unreasonable matter.
Before the meal was finished, an imperial decree came from the palace to give Mu Shan a marriage.
Wei Xun acted very quickly, he asked for the imperial decree in one day, which surprised people. The princess was very happy, and thanked the servants with the imperial decree.
Lin Ran kept his eyes on his nose, his nose on his heart, and chose not to speak.Mu Neng was already annoyed, pointing at Wei Shi, he was speechless.
Mu Shan was speechless, and she didn't have much joy at the arrival of the imperial decree. She acted flattered or humiliated.
The hall became quiet, Lin Ran chose to lead Mu Liang back to the mansion first, "There is still something to do in the mansion, I will take Ah Liang back to the mansion first."
Wei's eyelids twitched and stopped the two of them: "I'm in a hurry. Since His Majesty's imperial decree has come, the specific rules and regulations must be determined. I have never experienced it before, so I must be panicked."
Lin Ran patted the back of Ah Liang's hand, decided what to do, asked for money and said it directly, but there was no money.She looked at the roof, pretending she didn't understand, but Mu Liang sneered: "I don't think it's the rules, it's the mother who wants the money."
Mu Liang seldom talked back in person, which made everyone stunned, especially Mu Neng, who reacted and said: "You two go first, you don't have to worry about the Mu family's affairs, go back home and stay."
Lin Ran understood, smiled happily, pulled Mu Liang and left together, not to be taken advantage of.
The two left just like that, Wei called it a few times but it was useless, so he simply broke the jar and said: "His Majesty is in charge of the marriage, and the dowry is naturally required. If it goes against His Majesty's will, I'm afraid it will be bad."
"I'm too old, you can make up your own minds." The old lady sighed, helped the maidservant to get up, and staggered out of the flower hall, Wei Shi stared at her with anger.
****
Lin Ran didn't care about the things she didn't want to do, so she asked someone to make an appointment with His Highness Xinyang to go to the village.
On a clear autumn day, Lin Ran was already extremely comfortable. Sitting by the pond, Lin Ran was fishing, and he didn't see any desolation in front of him. The fish in the pond jumped out of the water one after another, but unfortunately none of them took the bait.
The steward laughed and said, "I don't know that the family is mainly fishing. I fed it this morning. I'm afraid it's not easy to bite the bait."
As soon as the words fell, several carriages came from a distance and stopped in front of the door.
The pond was right in front of the door, and the carriage stopped behind her. Lin Ran narrowed her eyes and looked at Chang Le who was getting off the carriage. She said strangely: "His Highness Chang Le is alone, why don't you bring a confidante over here? I will make sure that you will be satisfied when the time comes." .”
"Don't be so talkative, you got so much money from me, and I don't see you giving me some Zhuangzi. It looks good here. Is there a hot spring?" Chang Le stood in front of the door, looking at the stone lion in front of the door. tacky.
Lin Ran moved the fishing rod and handed it over to the steward, "What do you want the hot spring for?"
"Since you make me satisfied, why don't you have a hot spring, mandarin ducks playing in the water, do you understand the fun?" Chang Le raised his eyebrows.
Lin Ran looked at her blankly: "Mandarin ducks can play in the mansion, but not in such a big pool?"
Her tone of disdain made Changle look sideways, "The hot spring is a natural color, and the soup color is like milk. What's the use of the clear soup in your house?"
"Clear soup with little water?" Lin Ran couldn't help but pause, and Xinyang who was in the carriage behind him frowned when he heard the two men's unscrupulous words, and reprimanded him, "Stop talking nonsense."
Chang Le ignored her, put his arms around Lin Ran's shoulders, and whispered to her: "The hot spring water is moisturizing and good for the skin, so go play more if you have nothing to do, after she plays for a while, she will find that the water in the pool is no fun. "
"Who has His Highness Chang Le played with?" Lin Ran looked at her hand on his shoulder, and carefully brushed it away. This Highness is poisonous, or very poisonous.
Chang Le sighed regretfully: "I haven't played in this life yet, there is a hot spring in Chunzi Building in Fuyun Tower, you can try it." She thought for a while, and added: "A little oiran came to Fuyun Tower, who looks like It's very beautiful, it looks like a sinking fish, but it's a bit younger and too bland."
Mu Liang took care of the affairs of Fuyunlou. Except for important matters, Zhao Jiuniang generally refused to hand over to Lin Ran. After all, the affairs of those brothels were rarely known to the head of the family, and the wife also refused.
Lin Ran didn't know much about Huakui's affairs, and opened his mouth to say something, when he heard a soft cough: "Princess Mu is here."
Chang Le immediately changed into a serious expression, touched Lin Ran's small face, "Little thing, cheated my aunt of money, sooner or later I have to spit it out."
"I can't spit it out anymore. I have used it to do good deeds to help the people of Luoyang, but you still give up on it." Lin Ran smiled slightly, and asked Xinyang to go to Zhuangzi. Mu Liang came out from inside and led several people in.
Chang Le used to like to be acquainted, looking at the courtyard, said: "This Zhuangzi is very good, it seems that it is not the last time you lived." She remembered that there was no pond in front of the door.
Zhuangzi is simpler than the mansions in Luoyang City, but the greenery spreads, and autumn will come later, the people cook smoke, and the young children go home together in the sunset.
After a few people entered the hall, the maidservant came with tea in their hands. Xinyang sat solemnly and didn't look around, as if she came to investigate the military situation.Changle is different, like real enjoyment.
Not long after, Xie Xing and Qi Jin came together, the two stopped under the pond, looking at the pond full of fat fish, he couldn't help but want to do it, "Sister Qi, how about I grill fish for you?"
Qi Jin looked at it with her feet on her feet, and saw the fish swimming in the clear pond, "If you put a fork in it, it will be tasteless."
"You are so hypocritical." Xie Xing couldn't help muttering, and asked someone to fetch the fishing boat, and said, "How about I cast a net for you?"
Qi Jin reluctantly agreed, sat in Lin Ran's position just now, and directed Xie Xing to go fishing.
I don't know where Mu Neng got the news, and he pulled the Eight Kings over together. The two rode their horses very fast, and stopped in front of the pond. The Eight Kings threw away their whips. Seeing Xie Xing swaying on the boat, he immediately cursed: "Fishing is so slow, bring a harpoon over here, I'll be right with each fork, you juniors are really hypocritical."
Now Qi Jin didn't dare to talk back, and asked someone to find a harpoon in a nonchalant manner.
Bawang rolled up his sleeves and was about to go into the water, but was grabbed by Mu Neng, "Leave it to Xie Xing, you old cold legs go into the water, you have to cry tomorrow, and you are not calling you to eat fish when you talk in Zhuangzi."
He dragged Bawang away, Bawang almost fell off, and opened his mouth to curse: "You old bastard, what are you calling me for instead of eating fish and drinking?"
While cursing, Lin Ran came out to meet them, and saw the two salute: "Father, the Eighth Prince."
The Eighth Prince was upset, and when she heard her shout so strangely, he immediately exploded: "I used to call me Eighth Uncle, but why did you not recognize me when you got married? Did your father tell you to call me that way? The old man just doesn't want to see me!" good."
Mu Neng was scolded so much that he rolled his eyes, and stared aggrievedly. Before he could speak, Xinyang came out, and he said angrily, "The person who called you Uncle Eight is here."
Xinyang didn't know, so he called seriously: "Uncle Bawang."
Lin Ran covered her ears, her seniority was too chaotic.She covered her ears, and Bawang patted her on the shoulder: "What are you doing covering your ears, call me uncle, you are at a disadvantage?"
"No loss." Lin Ran forced a smile, the one who suffered was not her, but His Highness Xinyang.
"If you don't suffer, just call out. Don't listen to your father. Your father's heart is more than half broken. Don't pay attention to him." .
"That..." Lin Ran paused, opened his mouth, and Xin Yang spoke first: "The two princes are coming today, I'm afraid it's not as simple as drinking."
"How do you know, we came here secretly, just as if this old man was hiding good wine waiting for me, how could he know that he dug a hole for me, and didn't see a drop of wine." Eight kings poured bitter water.
Lin Ran took the opportunity to say: "There is wine, I prepared some when I came here, I will definitely satisfy you, I just ordered people to do it." If you find the opportunity, run away, if the eight uncles continue to shout, His Highness Xinyang will beat someone up.
She rubbed oil on the soles of her feet and ordered the steward to prepare lunch. When these two princes came, wine must be prepared.
Mu Liang and Chang Le went outside the Zhuangzi, but they didn't know where they went, and Lin Ran couldn't see them when he came back, so Xu deliberately lured Chang Le away.
The doors and windows in the living room were all closed. Lin Ran walked around the corridor twice, and was dragged in by his father. At some point, a map was placed in the room. The Eighth Prince stared at the counties that had been taken away from the south of the Yangtze River, "Wei Xun's jurisdiction is very close to Jiangnan, and if the fight continues like this, Wei Xun will be hit, and the marriage at this time is probably to appease the Wei family."
"If it's to appease you, you should choose from the princesses of the Chen family. Why is it from my family?" Mu Neng was angry, and he became angry when he thought about it. Emperor Ming was too unkind. He endured it for so many years and dragged him away. go in.
Lin Ran glanced at Father, and reminded her in a low voice: "Is there a princess in the Chen family?"
Once Chen Zhiqian died, Xinyang decided to marry the remaining princess of the Eastern Palace to his old ministry. The cheap daughter in Changle did not have the blood of the Chen family and could not be favored. The Wei family absolutely refused to agree.
Furthermore, His Royal Highness Prince Ping, who is far away, what is his daughter thinking, does Emperor Ming dare to use it?There was Lin Xiang in His Royal Highness Xinyang's mansion, and he also had the blood of the 'Luo family', so Emperor Ming directly abandoned him.
After much deliberation, Mu Neng should be quieter. Mu Shan had been on the same line with the Wei family before, so she was on the knife's edge.
After being reminded by her, Mu Neng blushed and cursed a few words in a low voice.The Eighth King didn't bother to pay attention to his people's madness, and continued: "The Mu family's marriage is a certainty, and Wei Xun can stop Qianqi as long as he can, if he can't stop..."
Pointing to the main road leading to Luoyang from the south of the Yangtze River, he sighed, "Luoyang is dangerous."
Lin Ran didn't know anything about military affairs, so he looked at his subordinates and wondered if he wanted to evacuate the shops. Wei Xun was an imperial party, he had never heard of his name before, and most likely he was not a capable person. living.
Xinyang, who was silent for a long time, said: "Wei Xun can't hold it."
Wei Xun had been in her tent before, and he didn't have high military talent. If Mu Neng hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have remembered him. With the momentum of the former Qi, it would be good if Wei Xun could receive reinforcements. Don't count on him Recover the old land.
The Eighth King stroked his beard, and said in agreement: "My son Wei Xun, in the words of the Ninth Prince, it just doesn't make sense."
Lin Ran snickered, but was slapped on the head by Mu Neng, "Laugh again and get out."
"I didn't laugh." Lin Ran retorted, and stood decisively at Xinyang, pointing to the map and said, "Father, if you go to lead the army by yourself, just drive Wei Xun down, and you don't need marriage to appease you."
Mu Neng was silent, so he would not lead the army.
The Eighth King looked at Xinyang's heavy expression, followed her gaze, and his eyes fell on the cities in the south of the Yangtze River on the map: "Your Highness seems to have something to say?"
"I was thinking about how Qianqi played so fast. Since there are capable people, why did they lose back then." Xinyang wondered, if Qianqi had the current trend many years ago, there would be no Chen family.
"Can your people go and find out the internal situation of Qianqi? We are like a bunch of blind people who don't know anything. We just watch people call at our door, and we don't know who is leading the army." Eight Kings suggested , he felt that the battle situation in front of him was too aggrieved, His Majesty put the focus on Wei Xun, and he was afraid that he would lose his wife and lose his army.
Xin Yang shook his head: "I asked someone to investigate, but there was no news. Qian Qi had been prepared for a long time, and he couldn't find out who was behind the conspiracy."
"Why don't you go and find out who the former Qi princess is, did anyone slip through the net?" Lin Ran said.
Mu Neng knocked on the table, thinking about the events of the past and began to mutter: "In fact, the old emperor of Qi has many heirs, some died in the palace, and some died on the way to escape. When I chased out of the city, All those who escaped were killed without omission, unless they had never escaped and stayed in Luoyang City."
"There has been no news for so many years, and now she is killed suddenly. Could it be that the princess is too young to become an adult?" Lin Ran was curious. Just like her, she only became an adult in 15 years before she began to plan to wash away the Luo family. enmity.
Mu Neng glanced at her: "The old emperor of Qi was more than 50 years old when he died, and the youngest princess was also xx years old. Now in the past twenty years, if she is really a princess, she is a little older than A Liang. She is in her 30s. gone."
The war back then was dangerous, he chased the remnants of the former Qi, and chased them for three days and nights without sleep, without any possibility of missing them.Especially in the matter of destroying the country, leaving only one person is a hidden danger. He and Xinyang did not dare to take it lightly. They did not return to Luoyang until the royal family of the former Qi Dynasty were all dead.
He looked at Luoyang: "You have no news at all, and the two armies will not see that princess in the battle?"
"No, report from the front line. The leader of the army is a man, not a princess. He must be hiding behind the scenes." Xinyang replied.
"If you can't find out, don't care about it, old nine, your marriage is finalized, and I'm waiting to collect your in-laws' corpses." After so long, when it was found out, they all called.
Mu Neng didn't give up: "Is there no second way?"
"No, I'm dead." The Eighth King sat down lazily, looked at Lin Ran and said, "Little niece, have you prepared the wine yet?"
He made a noise inexplicably, but Lin Ran didn't react, instead Xin Yang frowned and interrupted him again: "I'll go back to the palace to find out what happened back then, and I'll get someone to sneak into the Qianqi barracks to try."
Mu Neng has no choice but to give up. If His Majesty grants the marriage, if he refuses to recognize Mu Shan, it will be a slap in the face of His Majesty, and he will not be offended.
The Eight Kings were thinking about good wine, and pestered Lin Ran, but Xin Yang grabbed Lin Ran and said, "Go and find His Highness Chang Le."
"Why are you looking for her?" Lin Ran wondered.
Xinyang looked at her bitterly: "Could it be that you really want to catch up with your eighth uncle?"
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away." Lin Ran had a headache, he let go of Xinyang's hand, opened the door and walked out. The eight kings in the room saw the strange movements of the two, and pulled Mu Neng to mutter: "Old man Nine, why do I feel that Xinyang treats Lin Ran a little strangely, she won't look at Lin Ran's face and regard her as Luo Qing, right? You can keep an eye on the messy things."
"Get out, get out of here, you're the one who messed up, you're not thinking right, and looking at others is not right." Mu Neng seized the opportunity to yell, but this man didn't even wink at all.
So stupid.
The voice happened to reach Xinyang's ears, she frowned, Qi Jin and Xie Xing walked in from the courtyard, when Xie Xing saw Lin Ran, he smiled and said, "Little aunt, I caught a lot of fish."
Lin Ran walked over and saw that the fish basket in the handmaid's hand was already full, and Qi Jin who was beside her didn't call her, just skipped her.
Seeing Xinyang in the corridor, Xinyang is respected, she bowed obediently: "Why is ten aunts free to come and play today?"
Xinyang's expression was unkind, and the atmosphere turned cold. Lin Ran turned to look at her, and when the storm was about to come, she ran away.
She only found out today that Xinyang is ranked tenth and Ah Liang is nineteenth, and while running, she thought, what is Princess Luo's ranking?
Princess Luo seems to be older than His Royal Highness Xinyang, could it be the ninth?
The author has something to say: Xiaoguai: Nine + ten = nineteen.
I'm good at math.

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
She walked over quickly, chased away the blind girl, and ordered the servant to drive the shopkeeper into the backyard, so as not to spoil the owner.
Lin Ran looked blankly at the driven crowd, not understanding what Jiu Niang meant, but she didn't care too much, turned to look for Mu Liang, and said first: "Why are the people in Fuyun Tower so strange."
Mu Liang has taken care of the affairs of Fuyun Building, accounts and other necessary things, and understands some small things, but said lightly: "The salesman sells medicine for avoiding children."
There are also some shady things.
Lin Ran recalled the things in the peddler's basket just now, and seemed to feel that something was wrong: "It's not the anti-children medicine, there are other things, weird and weird, I haven't seen it before."
Seeing her thinking hard, Mu Liang felt a pain in her head, and handed her the white rabbit she bought: "Go back and raise it, and keep the little tiger as a companion."
"Aren't you afraid that the little tiger will eat it?" Lin Ran held the palm-sized rabbit, as if Fang was born not long ago. The little tiger was bigger than a cat, so he must have eaten it in one bite.
Holding the little rabbit, Lin Ran really changed his mind, and didn't think about the absurd thing just now, he kept muttering all the way: "Could it be too small, what should I do if I eat it?"
"Eat it, just eat it, let people watch it." Mu Liang responded casually.
Back at the mansion, it was the curfew time, Lin Ran put the rabbit on the table, the little tiger came over immediately, jumped on the table, and saw that the stranger was a child.
It tilted its head to look at it, carefully stretched out its meaty claws, and then just as Lin Ran turned around, he patted the rabbit with one paw.
The servant girl was so frightened that she picked up the rabbit, "Little ancestor, can you survive with this claw?"
The little tiger flew into the air, and howled twice in aggrieved way. This is how it treats new friends. This is how the cats were photographed in the past few times.
"The rabbit will be taken care of by you, beware of it, don't let it be eaten." Lin Ran threw the rabbit to the maidservant, the little tiger was taken care of by herself, she went to look for Ah Liang.
The next day, when Mu Liang returned to the palace, the deflated little tiger jumped into the carriage, Lin Ran went to the shop, and the two parted at the gate of the mansion.
Last year, I saved up some cotton clothes. What the stewards meant was to give the old ones to the people first, and then price the new ones when they came.
The steward felt sorry for Yinzi, Lin Ran knew what she meant, and said, "It's okay, you can send the old one out first, and then worry about the new one when it arrives, and besides, after sending out the cotton clothes, keep an eye on Zhao's Embroidery Workshop."
She has no intention of comparing, but the Zhao family is not benevolent, so she will not be kind. This winter, the cotton clothes of Luoyang people will all come from the Lin family.
After the steward agreed, she added another sentence: "The common people who come to get the cotton-padded clothes should show the poverty certificate of the household department, so as not to be fooled by others."
This will also find some errands for the court to do.
"It's still the Patriarch's thoughtfulness, so I'll get someone to post the notice." The steward frowned, because he was afraid that someone would come to deceive him, and he couldn't make a good judgment, so he could tell the difference.
After Lin Ran ordered, His Highness Xinyang told the household department not to hand out the poverty certificates at will. After all, the Lin family is for the bottom people and doesn't want to be taken advantage of.
The silver that His Highness Chang Le obtained must be inexhaustible, she thought for a while, and sent the remaining half to His Highness Xinyang, so that the Beiya Army could put more cotton-padded clothes against the cold winter.

He must have heard the wind, Zhao Fuyun was wearing an apricot-colored pleated skirt, with a phoenix hairpin inserted obliquely on the top of the bun mountain.The head of the hairpin is a tiny gemstone with exquisite workmanship, which matches her temperament very well.
She gave people a charming but not gorgeous beauty, Lin Ran's eyes flashed with amazement, and he dismounted unconsciously, "Miss Zhao."
"Patriarch Lin is so courageous. Does this mean that the lives of other embroidery workshops have been cut off?" She smiled, her intention was obvious.

Wei Xun acted very quickly, he asked for the imperial decree in one day, which surprised people. The princess was very happy, and thanked the servants with the imperial decree.
Lin Ran kept his eyes on his nose, his nose on his heart, and chose not to speak.Mu Neng was already annoyed, pointing at Wei Shi, he was speechless.
Mu Shan was speechless, and she didn't have much joy at the arrival of the imperial decree. She acted flattered or humiliated.
The hall became quiet, Lin Ran chose to lead Mu Liang back to the mansion first, "There is still something to do in the mansion, I will take Ah Liang back to the mansion first."
Wei's eyelids twitched and stopped the two of them: "I'm in a hurry. Since His Majesty's imperial decree has come, the specific rules and regulations must be determined. I have never experienced it before, so I must be panicked."
Lin Ran patted the back of Ah Liang's hand, decided what to do, asked for money and said it directly, but there was no money.She looked at the roof, pretending she didn't understand, but Mu Liang sneered: "I don't think it's the rules, it's the mother who wants the money."
Mu Liang seldom talked back in person, which made everyone stunned, especially Mu Neng, who reacted and said: "You two go first, you don't have to worry about the Mu family's affairs, go back home and stay."
Lin Ran understood, smiled happily, pulled Mu Liang and left together, not to be taken advantage of.
The two left just like that, Wei called it a few times but it was useless, so he simply broke the jar and said: "His Majesty is in charge of the marriage, and the dowry is naturally required. If it goes against His Majesty's will, I'm afraid it will be bad."
"I'm too old, you can make up your own minds." The old lady sighed, helped the maidservant to get up, and staggered out of the flower hall, Wei Shi stared at her with anger.
****
Lin Ran didn't care about the things she didn't want to do, so she asked someone to make an appointment with His Highness Xinyang to go to the village.
On a clear autumn day, Lin Ran was already extremely comfortable. Sitting by the pond, Lin Ran was fishing, and he didn't see any desolation in front of him. The fish in the pond jumped out of the water one after another, but unfortunately none of them took the bait.
The steward laughed and said, "I don't know that the family is mainly fishing. I fed it this morning. I'm afraid it's not easy to bite the bait."
As soon as the words fell, several carriages came from a distance and stopped in front of the door.
The pond was right in front of the door, and the carriage stopped behind her. Lin Ran narrowed her eyes and looked at Chang Le who was getting off the carriage. She said strangely: "His Highness Chang Le is alone, why don't you bring a confidante over here? I will make sure that you will be satisfied when the time comes." .”
"Don't be so talkative, you got so much money from me, and I don't see you giving me some Zhuangzi. It looks good here. Is there a hot spring?" Chang Le stood in front of the door, looking at the stone lion in front of the door. tacky.
Lin Ran moved the fishing rod and handed it over to the steward, "What do you want the hot spring for?"
"Since you make me satisfied, why don't you have a hot spring, mandarin ducks playing in the water, do you understand the fun?" Chang Le raised his eyebrows.
Lin Ran looked at her blankly: "Mandarin ducks can play in the mansion, but not in such a big pool?"
Her tone of disdain made Changle look sideways, "The hot spring is a natural color, and the soup color is like milk. What's the use of the clear soup in your house?"
"Clear soup with little water?" Lin Ran couldn't help but pause, and Xinyang who was in the carriage behind him frowned when he heard the two men's unscrupulous words, and reprimanded him, "Stop talking nonsense."
Chang Le ignored her, put his arms around Lin Ran's shoulders, and whispered to her: "The hot spring water is moisturizing and good for the skin, so go play more if you have nothing to do, after she plays for a while, she will find that the water in the pool is no fun. "
"Who has His Highness Chang Le played with?" Lin Ran looked at her hand on his shoulder, and carefully brushed it away. This Highness is poisonous, or very poisonous.
Chang Le sighed regretfully: "I haven't played in this life yet, there is a hot spring in Chunzi Building in Fuyun Tower, you can try it." She thought for a while, and added: "A little oiran came to Fuyun Tower, who looks like It's very beautiful, it looks like a sinking fish, but it's a bit younger and too bland."
Mu Liang took care of the affairs of Fuyunlou. Except for important matters, Zhao Jiuniang generally refused to hand over to Lin Ran. After all, the affairs of those brothels were rarely known to the head of the family, and the wife also refused.
Lin Ran didn't know much about Huakui's affairs, and opened his mouth to say something, when he heard a soft cough: "Princess Mu is here."
Chang Le immediately changed into a serious expression, touched Lin Ran's small face, "Little thing, cheated my aunt of money, sooner or later I have to spit it out."
"I can't spit it out anymore. I have used it to do good deeds to help the people of Luoyang, but you still give up on it." Lin Ran smiled slightly, and asked Xinyang to go to Zhuangzi. Mu Liang came out from inside and led several people in.
Chang Le used to like to be acquainted, looking at the courtyard, said: "This Zhuangzi is very good, it seems that it is not the last time you lived." She remembered that there was no pond in front of the door.
Zhuangzi is simpler than the mansions in Luoyang City, but the greenery spreads, and autumn will come later, the people cook smoke, and the young children go home together in the sunset.
After a few people entered the hall, the maidservant came with tea in their hands. Xinyang sat solemnly and didn't look around, as if she came to investigate the military situation.Changle is different, like real enjoyment.
Not long after, Xie Xing and Qi Jin came together, the two stopped under the pond, looking at the pond full of fat fish, he couldn't help but want to do it, "Sister Qi, how about I grill fish for you?"
Qi Jin looked at it with her feet on her feet, and saw the fish swimming in the clear pond, "If you put a fork in it, it will be tasteless."
"You are so hypocritical." Xie Xing couldn't help muttering, and asked someone to fetch the fishing boat, and said, "How about I cast a net for you?"
Qi Jin reluctantly agreed, sat in Lin Ran's position just now, and directed Xie Xing to go fishing.
I don't know where Mu Neng got the news, and he pulled the Eight Kings over together. The two rode their horses very fast, and stopped in front of the pond. The Eight Kings threw away their whips. Seeing Xie Xing swaying on the boat, he immediately cursed: "Fishing is so slow, bring a harpoon over here, I'll be right with each fork, you juniors are really hypocritical."
Now Qi Jin didn't dare to talk back, and asked someone to find a harpoon in a nonchalant manner.
Bawang rolled up his sleeves and was about to go into the water, but was grabbed by Mu Neng, "Leave it to Xie Xing, you old cold legs go into the water, you have to cry tomorrow, and you are not calling you to eat fish when you talk in Zhuangzi."
He dragged Bawang away, Bawang almost fell off, and opened his mouth to curse: "You old bastard, what are you calling me for instead of eating fish and drinking?"
While cursing, Lin Ran came out to meet them, and saw the two salute: "Father, the Eighth Prince."
The Eighth Prince was upset, and when she heard her shout so strangely, he immediately exploded: "I used to call me Eighth Uncle, but why did you not recognize me when you got married? Did your father tell you to call me that way? The old man just doesn't want to see me!" good."
Mu Neng was scolded so much that he rolled his eyes, and stared aggrievedly. Before he could speak, Xinyang came out, and he said angrily, "The person who called you Uncle Eight is here."
Xinyang didn't know, so he called seriously: "Uncle Bawang."
Lin Ran covered her ears, her seniority was too chaotic.She covered her ears, and Bawang patted her on the shoulder: "What are you doing covering your ears, call me uncle, you are at a disadvantage?"
"No loss." Lin Ran forced a smile, the one who suffered was not her, but His Highness Xinyang.
"If you don't suffer, just call out. Don't listen to your father. Your father's heart is more than half broken. Don't pay attention to him." .
"That..." Lin Ran paused, opened his mouth, and Xin Yang spoke first: "The two princes are coming today, I'm afraid it's not as simple as drinking."
"How do you know, we came here secretly, just as if this old man was hiding good wine waiting for me, how could he know that he dug a hole for me, and didn't see a drop of wine." Eight kings poured bitter water.
Lin Ran took the opportunity to say: "There is wine, I prepared some when I came here, I will definitely satisfy you, I just ordered people to do it." If you find the opportunity, run away, if the eight uncles continue to shout, His Highness Xinyang will beat someone up.
She rubbed oil on the soles of her feet and ordered the steward to prepare lunch. When these two princes came, wine must be prepared.
Mu Liang and Chang Le went outside the Zhuangzi, but they didn't know where they went, and Lin Ran couldn't see them when he came back, so Xu deliberately lured Chang Le away.
The doors and windows in the living room were all closed. Lin Ran walked around the corridor twice, and was dragged in by his father. At some point, a map was placed in the room. The Eighth Prince stared at the counties that had been taken away from the south of the Yangtze River, "Wei Xun's jurisdiction is very close to Jiangnan, and if the fight continues like this, Wei Xun will be hit, and the marriage at this time is probably to appease the Wei family."
"If it's to appease you, you should choose from the princesses of the Chen family. Why is it from my family?" Mu Neng was angry, and he became angry when he thought about it. Emperor Ming was too unkind. He endured it for so many years and dragged him away. go in.
Lin Ran glanced at Father, and reminded her in a low voice: "Is there a princess in the Chen family?"
Once Chen Zhiqian died, Xinyang decided to marry the remaining princess of the Eastern Palace to his old ministry. The cheap daughter in Changle did not have the blood of the Chen family and could not be favored. The Wei family absolutely refused to agree.
Furthermore, His Royal Highness Prince Ping, who is far away, what is his daughter thinking, does Emperor Ming dare to use it?There was Lin Xiang in His Royal Highness Xinyang's mansion, and he also had the blood of the 'Luo family', so Emperor Ming directly abandoned him.
After much deliberation, Mu Neng should be quieter. Mu Shan had been on the same line with the Wei family before, so she was on the knife's edge.
After being reminded by her, Mu Neng blushed and cursed a few words in a low voice.The Eighth King didn't bother to pay attention to his people's madness, and continued: "The Mu family's marriage is a certainty, and Wei Xun can stop Qianqi as long as he can, if he can't stop..."
Pointing to the main road leading to Luoyang from the south of the Yangtze River, he sighed, "Luoyang is dangerous."
Lin Ran didn't know anything about military affairs, so he looked at his subordinates and wondered if he wanted to evacuate the shops. Wei Xun was an imperial party, he had never heard of his name before, and most likely he was not a capable person. living.
Xinyang, who was silent for a long time, said: "Wei Xun can't hold it."
Wei Xun had been in her tent before, and he didn't have high military talent. If Mu Neng hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have remembered him. With the momentum of the former Qi, it would be good if Wei Xun could receive reinforcements. Don't count on him Recover the old land.
The Eighth King stroked his beard, and said in agreement: "My son Wei Xun, in the words of the Ninth Prince, it just doesn't make sense."
Lin Ran snickered, but was slapped on the head by Mu Neng, "Laugh again and get out."
"I didn't laugh." Lin Ran retorted, and stood decisively at Xinyang, pointing to the map and said, "Father, if you go to lead the army by yourself, just drive Wei Xun down, and you don't need marriage to appease you."
Mu Neng was silent, so he would not lead the army.
The Eighth King looked at Xinyang's heavy expression, followed her gaze, and his eyes fell on the cities in the south of the Yangtze River on the map: "Your Highness seems to have something to say?"
"I was thinking about how Qianqi played so fast. Since there are capable people, why did they lose back then." Xinyang wondered, if Qianqi had the current trend many years ago, there would be no Chen family.
"Can your people go and find out the internal situation of Qianqi? We are like a bunch of blind people who don't know anything. We just watch people call at our door, and we don't know who is leading the army." Eight Kings suggested , he felt that the battle situation in front of him was too aggrieved, His Majesty put the focus on Wei Xun, and he was afraid that he would lose his wife and lose his army.
Xin Yang shook his head: "I asked someone to investigate, but there was no news. Qian Qi had been prepared for a long time, and he couldn't find out who was behind the conspiracy."
"Why don't you go and find out who the former Qi princess is, did anyone slip through the net?" Lin Ran said.
Mu Neng knocked on the table, thinking about the events of the past and began to mutter: "In fact, the old emperor of Qi has many heirs, some died in the palace, and some died on the way to escape. When I chased out of the city, All those who escaped were killed without omission, unless they had never escaped and stayed in Luoyang City."
"There has been no news for so many years, and now she is killed suddenly. Could it be that the princess is too young to become an adult?" Lin Ran was curious. Just like her, she only became an adult in 15 years before she began to plan to wash away the Luo family. enmity.
Mu Neng glanced at her: "The old emperor of Qi was more than 50 years old when he died, and the youngest princess was also xx years old. Now in the past twenty years, if she is really a princess, she is a little older than A Liang. She is in her 30s. gone."
The war back then was dangerous, he chased the remnants of the former Qi, and chased them for three days and nights without sleep, without any possibility of missing them.Especially in the matter of destroying the country, leaving only one person is a hidden danger. He and Xinyang did not dare to take it lightly. They did not return to Luoyang until the royal family of the former Qi Dynasty were all dead.
He looked at Luoyang: "You have no news at all, and the two armies will not see that princess in the battle?"
"No, report from the front line. The leader of the army is a man, not a princess. He must be hiding behind the scenes." Xinyang replied.
"If you can't find out, don't care about it, old nine, your marriage is finalized, and I'm waiting to collect your in-laws' corpses." After so long, when it was found out, they all called.
Mu Neng didn't give up: "Is there no second way?"
"No, I'm dead." The Eighth King sat down lazily, looked at Lin Ran and said, "Little niece, have you prepared the wine yet?"
He made a noise inexplicably, but Lin Ran didn't react, instead Xin Yang frowned and interrupted him again: "I'll go back to the palace to find out what happened back then, and I'll get someone to sneak into the Qianqi barracks to try."
Mu Neng has no choice but to give up. If His Majesty grants the marriage, if he refuses to recognize Mu Shan, it will be a slap in the face of His Majesty, and he will not be offended.
The Eight Kings were thinking about good wine, and pestered Lin Ran, but Xin Yang grabbed Lin Ran and said, "Go and find His Highness Chang Le."
"Why are you looking for her?" Lin Ran wondered.
Xinyang looked at her bitterly: "Could it be that you really want to catch up with your eighth uncle?"
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away." Lin Ran had a headache, he let go of Xinyang's hand, opened the door and walked out. The eight kings in the room saw the strange movements of the two, and pulled Mu Neng to mutter: "Old man Nine, why do I feel that Xinyang treats Lin Ran a little strangely, she won't look at Lin Ran's face and regard her as Luo Qing, right? You can keep an eye on the messy things."
"Get out, get out of here, you're the one who messed up, you're not thinking right, and looking at others is not right." Mu Neng seized the opportunity to yell, but this man didn't even wink at all.
So stupid.
The voice happened to reach Xinyang's ears, she frowned, Qi Jin and Xie Xing walked in from the courtyard, when Xie Xing saw Lin Ran, he smiled and said, "Little aunt, I caught a lot of fish."
Lin Ran walked over and saw that the fish basket in the handmaid's hand was already full, and Qi Jin who was beside her didn't call her, just skipped her.
Seeing Xinyang in the corridor, Xinyang is respected, she bowed obediently: "Why is ten aunts free to come and play today?"
Xinyang's expression was unkind, and the atmosphere turned cold. Lin Ran turned to look at her, and when the storm was about to come, she ran away.
She only found out today that Xinyang is ranked tenth and Ah Liang is nineteenth, and while running, she thought, what is Princess Luo's ranking?
Princess Luo seems to be older than His Royal Highness Xinyang, could it be the ninth?
The author has something to say: Xiaoguai: Nine + ten = nineteen.
I'm good at math.
