"Miaoyun, remember the etiquette!"
"Mom, I know!"
The little girl leaning out of the window made the eyes of passersby passing by Chang Mansion brighten.
Although it was just a glimpse, the girl's exquisite appearance made people couldn't help but take a second look. She looked like she was only six or seven years old, but she was already a beautiful woman.
After she retracted into the carriage, there were still two people sitting in the carriage.
A woman, whose eyebrows are somewhat similar to the little girl's, has a serious face.
The other person is a three-year-old boy, still at an ignorant age.
Under the woman's gaze, the little girl lowered her head, her face filled with innocence and became gentle.
The woman nodded:
"I brought you here today to visit Young Master Chang! Chang Yuchun, the head of the Chang family, is your father's frontline partner. Our two families will travel frequently in the future!
You two have to be obedient and don’t embarrass your father! "
The little girl nodded obediently, but did not take her mother's words seriously.
She has had a photographic memory since she was a child, and was deeply loved by her father Xu Da. From the past conversations between her mother and father, she knew that her father and Chang Yuchun were by no means good friends...
However, the little girl did not refute, but nodded obediently. She got out of the car and held the hand of the three-year-old boy:
"Brother, follow sister!"
The mother and son walked to the door, and the woman informed the housekeeper of Chang Mansion:
"Please tell Sister Chang that Mrs. Xie from Duke Xin's Mansion is coming to visit!"
"It turns out to be Madam Xinguo Gong, please come in and take a seat first, I will inform you immediately!"
The servant introduced the Xu family, mother and son, into the reception room, and hurriedly went to invite Mrs. Lan.
The Xu family, mother and son, nodded their heads and waited patiently.
"Since that incident, Chang Mansion has lost its arrogant and domineering aura..."
When the woman said this, the little girl reminded her:
“Mom, be careful what you say!
If something happened to their family, they wouldn't let anyone talk about it? "
Xie muttered, but did not continue to dwell on this matter.
After the servants of the Chang Mansion arranged the arrangements for the Xie family and their son, they went all the way to the inner courtyard.
At this time, Xie, the mistress of the Chang family, was giving medicine to Chang Mao.
"Son, do you still blame mother for beating you so hard? There's nothing I can do about it. Your bad deeds have been brought to the palace. If mother doesn't teach you a lesson, then the people in the palace will have opinions... …”
Chang Mao was still lying on the bed at this time. Although the wound on his butt had healed a lot, he was still grinning in pain.
"Mom, it's all the fault of that little Taoist priest. If he hadn't revealed what happened to the child, how would the emperor know?"
Speaking of Zhang Yi, Chang Mao gritted his teeth. He hated that little Taoist priest.
Chang heard this and reprimanded:
"If you don't act recklessly, no matter what people say about you, it's still your own nonsense! Besides, my mother still hopes that the little Taoist priest will help our Chang family resolve the injustice..."
Seeing that Chang Mao was still aggrieved, she coaxed:
"Your father is killing the enemy on the front line, so you should stop embarrassing him at home. There are rumors outside that our Chang family wants to be crowned king and duke. Now that you have made the person in the palace have a bad impression of you, it is not a drag on you. Dad?
When your father is defeated by Xu Da, won’t you, the eldest son, be the one who suffers in the end? Listen to your mother and endure it for a while. When I, the Ming Dynasty, take over Dadu in the north, everything will settle down... Whatever you want to do, mother won't stop you! "
Chang Mao said:
"Mom, don't blame the child for what happened to dad. My son can't swallow this breath. What's more, with dad's current situation, he is definitely not as good as Xu Da..."
When Lan heard this, his expression darkened.
In fact, Chang Mao didn't need to remind her, she also understood this truth.
Chang Yuchun and Xu Da are a pair of great generals, one is extremely brave and the other is superior in all-around talent.
Although the relationship between the two is not bad, they are secretly competing for the number one man in the army.
It's just that Chang Yuchun had an old problem and liked to kill prisoners. His behavior was often reported to Zhu Yuanzhang by Xu Da.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang loved Chang Yuchun very much, he was also troubled by Chang Yuchun's problem. Therefore, when going on foreign campaigns, Lao Zhu basically led Xu Da, and Chang Yuchun was appointed as his deputy. He strictly ordered Chang Yuchun to listen. Xu Da's battle for the number one man in the army has come to an end.
But since Xu Da had reported the matter, although Chang Yuchun himself did not react much to the matter, he later cooperated well with Xu Da on the battlefield.
However, the Chang family was not convinced and believed that Xu Da won without force.
Both Lan and Chang Mao think so.
Chang Mao even said privately that Xu Dan was able to overpower his father only because he was Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest child, and his father surrendered halfway...
He would have said many more such idiotic remarks if Lan had not warned him.
"Unknown killings and prisoners..."
The calculations of the young master from Longhu Mountain appeared in Lan's mind, and she was frightened. Then she remembered that she had not gone to Qingxin Temple to ask the young master to help resolve the injustice.
She really believed Zhang Yi's words. Firstly, Chang Yuchun was indeed "snubbed" by the emperor because of killing prisoners, which made him inferior to Xu Da. Secondly, Chang Mao killed people, and her nightmares made Lan believe that there was an injustice in Changfu. …
"Perhaps if I ask that Taoist priest for an explanation, my Changfu's fortune can improve!"
Lan originally planned to go to Qingxin Temple to find Zhang Yi after solving Chang Mao's worries, but an order from the palace caused all her plans to go haywire.
Just when she was thinking about whether to go there soon, a servant outside came to report.
"Madam, the wife of Duke Xinguo is here to visit!"
"Gong Xinguo, is he from Xu Da's family?"
Among the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty, only Xu Da had the title of Duke Xin before the founding of the country, which made the Lan family envious for a long time.
"What is she here for?"
The personal relationship between the Xu family and the Chang family was indeed average, and Xie, the wife of Duke Xinguo, was not very close to him.
But since people came to her door, she always wanted to entertain them.
Lan gave a few words of comfort to Chang Mao and then walked to the living room. Before she reached it, she heard the sound of someone reading softly.
Entering the side hall of the reception room, Mrs. Xie, the wife of Duke Xinguo, was not the focus of Mrs. Lan's eyes. Her first sight fell on the little girl.
"What a pretty girl! I don't know which young master I will take advantage of in the future..."
The little girl was dressed in white, but it was a bit old, but it did not affect her perception in Lan's eyes. And because of the way she lowered her head to read, Lan, who had some opinions about the Xu family, could not bear much ill will towards the girl in front of her.
"Lan, I have met Mrs. Xin Guo Gong!"
Lan's eyes shifted from the Xu family girl to Xie.
"Sister, you are serious. How can I trust the Duke's wife? Your husband and I are brothers who have been born and died. Why should one family speak the same language?"
The two ladies exchanged pretentious greetings for a while, and then Mrs. Xie called the two children over.
"Miaoyun, Yungong, come here to see Mrs. Chang!"
"Xu Miaoyun, Xu Yungong has met Madam!"
The Xu family siblings bowed respectfully to the Lan family.
"Sister, sister has only found out about the affairs of the house in the past few days. Please hurry up and have someone send you some medicine..."
After the greetings had passed, Mr. Xie explained his intention.
But as soon as she said those words, Lan's face didn't look very good!
