An Ranyue persuaded, "Mother, at least this matter is over, you don't have to be angry. Our second house may not be worse off than the first house. They have the general's mansion, and my brother An Mingbo will also have a promising future. This is what we earned ourselves, and you don't have to lose a good son, which is not bad."
"Yes, that's the only way to think about it." Chu sighed.
It is impossible to get this general's mansion.
Her man has been busy recently. It was just a sinecure and she didn't know what he was busy with. Sometimes Chu thought, what's the use of the General's Mansion? Her man only married her and she is happier than all the other women. So what about the Queen? Isn't she also sharing a husband with others?
In fact, there had been several times before when the old lady wanted to take a concubine for An Zhongyuan. Fortunately, An Zhongyuan's heart was on her, so he did not agree. This time since coming to the capital, she never mentioned this matter again, and hoped that she would not mention it in the future.
It would be best if the old lady forgot about this matter.
Chu was thinking about his own things there.
An Ranyue didn't bother her and went to Lanxiao Pavilion.
An Yanran was sad about losing her mother, and now she was getting thinner and thinner, but she was getting more and more beautiful. This made An Ranyue a little jealous, because she knew that compared to An Ranyue, she was not as pretty as her.
But she has her advantages.
When An Yanran saw her coming, she didn't have any special expression. Since things were so chaotic outside, she just treated her as a leisurely person. It felt really good to watch the fire from the other side of the river.
"You know what? After Shen Zhiyun came back, he asked about Dongfang Ye intentionally or unintentionally..."
An Ranyue's words really succeeded in arousing An Yanran's interest. She narrowed her eyes and said, "She really knows how to pick people. Doesn't she know that Dongfang Ye already has two concubines?"
"How could she not know? I think she is quite ambitious. She is probably thinking that the main wife is vacant..."
"With her? I don't think you need to worry. Dongfang Ye won't look down on her." An Yanran finally regained her composure. "Her family has no power and influence. This time, her brother has not passed the exam. She will never have the chance to see Dongfang Ye again."
"That's not necessarily true. You've forgotten that your sister the Crown Princess has a special relationship with her. They are so close, who knows what they will do in the future." An Ranyue said.
An Yanran was actually stunned when she heard this. She knew that An Qingran was always very picky and always looked up to people when choosing friends. This was the first time she had made friends with someone like Shen Zhiyun.
So, she felt that she really needed to be more careful.
An Yanran was successfully upset by An Ranyue. She walked around on the ground and suddenly stopped. "Since Shen Zhihua did not pass the exam, are they planning to go back home?"
"That... I didn't hear it. Maybe Shen Zhihua will prepare for the next imperial examination."
"Live here for four years?" An Yanran sneered, "He won't."
"Not necessarily. Maybe Fang will want to marry her daughter here so that she can have a good relative in the future, right?"
"In this case..." An Yanran thought for a moment, "I'll go talk to my mother and ask them to send the Shen family away."
An Ranyue nodded slightly, she meant the same thing.
The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling that they had solved a big problem.
East warm room.
An Qingran was still wearing a veil, and An Mingchen started calling her sister again. An Qingran came over and hugged her in her arms. As she was coaxing her, An Yanran came and she also came to An Mingchen's side and asked him to call her sister as well.
An Mingchen blinked at her, then turned his head and continued to reach out to grab An Qingran's veil.
"Sister, your injury is getting better. The imperial physician hasn't come recently. Is your sister taking the medicine on her own?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I'm still taking the medicine. It's just a matter of disfigurement. If it's God's will, I can let it go." An Qingran said calmly.
She didn't want to tell them that her face was almost healed.
She now feels comfortable wearing the veil.
An Yanran chatted for a while, then asked, "Mother, did Aunt Fang and the others say when they will leave?"
Lian Jinyu shook his head: "They don't mean to leave. Maybe Shen Zhihua wants to become a disciple again in preparation for the exam."
An Yanran thought for a moment and said, "Do they plan to live in the General's Mansion forever?"
"What's wrong?" Lian Jinyu was thinking about something else and didn't understand what she meant.
"I heard that my aunt often chats with my grandmother. My aunt has a broad range of ideas. Maybe the tricks my grandmother uses were taught by her." An Yanran sighed.
When she said this, Lian Jinyu frowned but said nothing.
An Qingran could guess what An Yanran meant to some extent. She laughed in her heart. This An Yanran looked really alert.
Seeing that her mother didn't say anything, An Yanran said weakly, "Qiaojie found me yesterday and cried and asked me to help them. She said that the money they brought was almost gone. I didn't have any spare money, so I refused. I don't know if she will go back and tell them mother and son about it. If she does, I'm afraid they will regard my personal behavior as the behavior of the general's mansion, and it will be bad if they feel resentful."
"Are they short of money?" Lian Jinyu finally looked up. "The food and daily necessities are all provided by the General's Mansion. What do they need the money for?"
"Maybe he needs some connections. After all, if Shen Zhihua wants to take part in the imperial examination again, he has to make some arrangements."
"Well, I understand what you said. If you need anything, just tell mom." Lian Jinyu felt pity for An Yanran.
An Yanran smiled and nodded.
After she left, Lian Jinyu asked An Qingran: "What does Yanran mean? Why doesn't she want Fang's mother and son to stay here? Logically, you should be the one who wants them to leave."
An Qingran thought for a moment and said, "She won't do anything unless it's beneficial to her. As for why, I don't think I can figure it out."
There are some things she still doesn't want her mother to know.
That day, An Zhongyuan returned to Beiyuan in high spirits and handed a letter of appointment to Chu: "Take a look."
The more Chu looked at him, the more relaxed her eyes became: "You are the Minister of Rites? But you are still a fifth-rank rank ..."
"He's a fifth-rank official, and he has real power, not just an empty position." An Zhongyuan was also very proud.
"That's great, you finally got promoted. We will have a chance to shine." Chu was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.
"My brother helped with the planning."
"Which brother?" Chu asked puzzledly.
"I only have this one brother, and it was my eldest brother who helped me contact him."
"He... after something like this happened, he would still help you? I really didn't expect it." Chu murmured.
"Yes, it has always been my mother who has wronged me. Now I feel so guilty."
"Don't mention your mother. She did stupid things and even tried to commit suicide a while ago. She didn't even think about you. If she really died, how could you get the position of Minister of Rites..."
