The large courtyard of the Lan family is located not far from the center of Kyoto. The people living in that area are the rich and famous families in Yanjing City, and the descendants of the noble Yun family. There are no white men coming and going. There are bustling cars and horses, and guests are welcomed and taken care of slowly. The light fur, gauze and silk fabrics, the fragrance of the clothes, and the sweet voice are indicative of a prosperous home.
The Lan family is in the center of that street. In front of the large house gate are two majestic stone lions, raising their heads and roaring, which is very majestic.
Lan Yanwen's carriage stopped in a hurry. When the carriage stopped, Lan Yanwen did not stop when he got off. He walked straight in, taking care of the boy, and invited his father and two uncles to the study.
The boy trotted in as ordered.
When he entered his study, of course the head of the Lan family, Lan Tian, and his two younger brothers, Lan Ren and Lan Wei, were already waiting there.
"Wen'er, what happened?" Sitting in the first place is Lan Tian, the head of the Lan family, who is also Lan Yanwen's father. The focus of the Lan family's officialdom has now shifted to Lan Yanwen, but the center of the family is still Lan Tian knew that something big was going on when he saw his son hurriedly entering the house to see him.
"I've met my father, second uncle, and third uncle." Although Lan Yanwen felt a little impatient, he had enough training and still greeted each of them with courtesy.
"Wen'er, you are from the East Palace. You must have met the girl from the Lan family. What's wrong?" Lan Ren, the second master of the Lan family, is a wise man. He looked Lan Yan up and down and asked with a smile,
"What's wrong with a daughter from a poor family? Second brother, you are worrying too much." Lan Wei, the third child, glanced at his second brother disapprovingly, "This time our Lan family also sent a girl in. That If there's anything really wrong with the side effects, it's just that it's not a gift from our family anyway."
"Third brother, I heard that the woman is well-behaved and smart. Almost everyone who has entered the East Palace has spied on the Prince of the East Palace. She is the only one who lives peacefully in her own yard, and she doesn't even ask for anything. Someone will help me change places." Lan Ren said solemnly, this point cannot be underestimated.
A teenage girl, when she is most noisy, enters the palace she has never experienced before with confusion about the future, and faces a world full of flowers. Who would not be greedy and try every means to get something? If he stays in the palace, he will of course try his best to secretly meet the prince who is said to be extremely handsome. It would be even better if he could have a beautiful encounter.
The beautiful girl who entered the palace for the draft seemed to be calm and fine these past few days, but in fact, there was an undercurrent surging. Especially when she saw the beautiful and noble appearance of His Highness the Crown Prince, what woman would not be excited and just want to be able to After catching his eye, it could be said that in Chuxiu Palace, that woman was the only one who had never done anything.
Is he so calm because he has no intention of doing this, or because he has another mystery!
With Lan Luo's current wealth and background, if the draft is unsuccessful, Tu will not be able to get engaged and married immediately when she returns this time. With her aunt's greedy nature, she still has no idea how much she will be sold for or who she will be married to. In other words, , if she wants to live a better life, she can only stand out in the draft.
However, if she doesn't listen, how can she get Qingmu? This is the reason why the head of the Lan family specially asked Lan Yanwen to go and have a look.
"How much can a woman with such a little bit do?" Lan Mo said disdainfully.
"Okay, stop talking and listen to Wen'er." Lan Tian snorted coldly, suppressing the voices of the two brothers.
"Father, Sister Lan Luo is very beautiful... She doesn't look like she comes from a small family... Her air of demeanor cannot be cultivated by being in a merchant's home." Lan Yanwen frowned, While choosing his words, he replied, that woman is definitely not an ordinary person.
"Wen'er, are you mistaken? I've sent someone to check it out a long time ago. This girl from the Lan family is pretty good-looking, but she is weak and always keeps her medicine jar close to her body. Sometimes when she gets sick, she can't even sleep in bed. She can't afford it, and the mother-in-law of that family is very concerned about money, so she didn't even hire a nanny to educate her, so there's no way she can be dignified." Lan Mo jumped up and said unconvinced.
The Lan family has a great cause, and not all the side details will appear in the eyes of the Lan family's leaders, but the Lan family is cautious, and any outstanding Lan family woman who appears in their sight will be investigated clearly. Even if she was not controlled by them before, she will be recognized by the entire ethnic group because of her new value, and she will become a new and influential figure.
So as soon as Mo Xuetong appeared on the East Palace draft list with Lan Luo's name, the Lan family could find out which house this Lan girl belonged to and why she was living outside. Without any means of boasting, the Lan family believed that they had It is clear from all investigations that within the scope of Yan State, the Lan family's secret investigation capabilities are not inferior to those of the royal family.
With such a clear investigation, of course he knew that this Lan girl could not be a fake, and she could not be as brilliant as Lan Yanwen said.
"Third uncle, please don't worry. I'm just stating a fact. This daughter of the Lan clan who lives outside is extremely outstanding. It can be said that among the girls of the Lan clan raised by our family, no one can compare to her. She is absolutely beautiful. And Linghui." Lan Yanwen said.
That woman gave him a feeling of calmness and calmness. Even though she was silently repelling thousands of miles away in just a few words, she was neither humble nor arrogant. It was hard to imagine that she was raised by a profit-seeking, greedy, and low-status businessman's wife. , it is said that her cousins all showed bad taste.
For this reason, Lan Yanwen was also extremely confused.
"Impossible, Yanwen, are you sure you read it correctly?" Lan Mo almost jumped up.
"My nephew can clearly see that it is indeed Lan Luo. Don't you think your uncle still believes me?"
"Impossible, impossible, how could that girl let you give such a high praise? There are so many beautiful women in our Lan family's backyard, and one or two of them can't even compare to the concubines. How could she be a country girl? It's hard to compare." Lan Mo was extremely unconvinced.
"I believe what Yan Wen said." Lan Ren, the second child, listened to a few words with a sullen face, frowned and thought for a while before saying.
"Second brother, why are you following Yanwen? If she really has such good looks, how did she maintain her appearance for so many years?" Lan Mo retorted.
With such stunning beauty and no power to protect her, why does such a woman live in a merchant's home
"Perhaps this is what makes her smart. She doesn't fight, doesn't stand out, doesn't show her face, and is always fed with medicine. Who would have thought that such a low-key woman would be extremely beautiful and intelligent." Lan Ren shook his head. He shook the fan in his hand and nodded.
Keep a low profile and never stand out, just like now in the south courtyard of Chuxiu Palace. She seems to be submissive, but in fact she is secretly royal. If she doesn't stand out, she will not fall in the eyes of other beautiful ladies and become a thorn in others' eyes, no matter how others fight. , she just stood aside silently. A woman who can do this is really a smart person.
Although Lan Yuyan got the care of the Lan family, she still couldn't do this. She asked Lan Yanwen to help transfer her house to another courtyard. Although Lan Yuyan made the request, the Lan family It was the dignity of the Blue clan to come forward to protect themselves, but in fact, they pushed the Lan girl to the front of the screen. And because the Lan girl was beautiful, a lot of hostile eyes gathered around Lan Yuyan. .
It’s hard to say whether I will be able to enter the East Palace in the future.
"Since this woman is completely beyond everyone's expectations, Wen'er, what do you think is the possibility of her entering the East Palace?" Lan Tian waved his hand to end their argument, looked at his son and asked tentatively, he still believed in his son of judgment.
"From Yanwen's point of view, the possibility of sister Lan Luo entering the East Palace is almost non-existent." Lan Yanwen affirmed.
"It's so possible!" Lan Mo didn't believe it again.
"Third brother, don't worry, listen to what Yan Wen has to say first." Lan Ren stopped his impatience. The third youngest of the Lan family is a shrewd person, but because of his impetuousness, he seems to be unsteady when doing things, so as an elder, he , his words are not as strong as Lan Yanwen's.
"Why do Wen'er think so?" Lan Tian also didn't believe it.
"Father, she has an indifferent temperament and does not compete with others. This will make His Highness like her. You will not forget that our Highness is like a detached immortal. Of course, she will also like this kind of purity and indifference. A smart woman, and this woman is not from our Lan family, she is still a little different from our Lan family. Moreover, her delicate and frail appearance can easily gain the recognition and protection of men. With these points, isn't it enough? !”
Lan Yanwen stated this fact with a smile.
She has a calm temperament and does not fight or grab, which is in line with the royal way of life for women in the palace.
Pure, calm and intelligent, he is consistent with the image of His Highness who is like an immortal.
Although she was born into the blue clan, she is separated from the blue family. This not only points out that her background is acceptable, but also shows that she cannot be someone sent by the Lan family to the East Palace.
Chu Chu's sickly appearance is enough to arouse a man's desire for protection. Although His Highness the Crown Prince is not a womanizer, he will still feel pity for this kind of cute beauty who is a little sickly in her beauty.
Lan Yanwen chatted for a few words and pointed out Mo Xuetong's decisive point. It must be said that his words were very precise.
"Wen'er, do you think we should fully support Lan Luo?" Lan Tian nodded and asked with a deep look in his eyes.
"Father, Wen'er does think so. If she is used as his own, the solid defense in the East Palace may be able to be broken." Lan Yanwen said seriously.
Several people present knew that the East Palace was just an iron bucket. So far, the queen has never put her hand into it. If a woman could really cut into it... Thinking of this result, my head felt a little hot.
"Brother, I support Yan Wen's statement." Lan Mo was the first to respond.
"I agree." Lan Ren thought for a while and nodded.
"In this case, let's set up a new plan. Wen'er, do you have any way to make her listen to us?" Lan Tian made the final decision.
Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines and over 100 sounds. It is also a source-changing tool that supports offline reading. huanyuanapp.org Source-changing App
"Of course it's not enough to be friends. My father heard that sister Lan Luo and her family were forced to death. I wonder if that person is still there?" Lan Yanwen asked. This incident was also a scandal at the time. He forced the wife of a member of his family to rape. , it is also a huge stain on the blue clan, which has always flaunted the unity of the clan.
Lan Mo, who was sitting on the side, changed his face slightly, no longer jumped out to speak, and his eyes were a little uncertain.
"That person has been dealt with by the family a long time ago." Lan Ren immediately understood what he meant, and interrupted with a gleam in his eyes, "We can't start from this aspect, find a way to find her uncle's family, raise her for ten years, this kind of kindness is always It’s there.”
This is to use Lan Luo's uncle to blackmail Lan Luo into becoming the internal agent of the Lan family in the East Palace.
"Second uncle, like this..."
"Wen'er, according to your second uncle's words, we have made this decision. It is all for our Lan clan. This matter will be done as your second uncle said." Lan Tian said coldly and proudly, "You can test it. Tell her that if she wants to live well in the East Palace in the future, just keeping a low profile will not work. Without the support of her family, she is still nothing."
How far can a woman go in the palace without a strong enough family backing? If she is smart, she should know the principle that cooperation will benefit both parties. (To be continued)
