Chapter 197 A Problem
Bai Yin opened her eyes a little uncomfortable: "It's not that she doesn't trust you..."
After thinking about Chu Junlan's words just now, Bai Yin suddenly came back and looked at her suddenly, believing in her mouth: "Will you help us?"
Nuomin also reacted, took Chu Junlan's hand and said with bright eyes: "Sister, will you protect us and place us? Will you help us?"
Chu Junlan chuckled, and Bai Yin looked at her and could not give her a good face and speak harshly, but the girl Nuomin was so painful that she couldn't even make her heart hurt her.
"Okay. I will find a way to protect you first, and wait until the limelight passes and sees you out of the city. As for what you do in the future, it has nothing to do with me. I can only help you so much."
"This is enough." Bai Yin and Nuomin Gong bowed respectfully to Chu Junlan.
Chu Junlan said: "I'll get you some food and food for you. You'll continue to hide here. I'll go out and make some arrangements. I'll pick you up after it's done. Also, I'll cover it up in the cellar, otherwise the gap will send the lights out. It's probably not visible during the day, but someone passing by at night will definitely see it. Don't go out and destroy the layout easily."
Chu Junlan said and walked towards the cellar door.
Bai Yin and Nuomin stood there, and no one spoke for a while.
Chu Junlan jumped neatly, and leaned over and jumped upwards with his hand on the edge of the exit, as quick as a raccoon. When he looked back, the brother and sister were looking up at her.
Chu Junlan saw some doubts and expectations in their eyes. He couldn't help but shake his head funny, but he knew in his heart why they would do this.
After experiencing such a big change, I escaped all the way to the capital and crossed many levels. I am afraid that I have already seen all the cold and cold things of the world and the warmth of human nature. Is it a habit to betrayal?
"You wait for me, I'll be back later." Chu Junlan didn't explain much. After all, she couldn't explain herself over and over again, let alone they were asking her for help now, not because she begged to help them.
In the middle of the night, the shop was not open. Even if it was opened, she did not dare to buy some other things rashly, so as not to arouse suspicion. She quietly went home, wrapped a big bag of food and even brought a quilt before leaving.
It was already early morning when I returned to the Land Temple. Chu Junlan saw that the cover on the cellar was not passive, so he knew that they had not come out. He quietly breathed a sigh of relief. She opened the cellar's lid.
"It's me."
In the cellar, the brother and sister squatted with their necks coldly, and they heard the sound and looked up together.
Chu Junlan originally wanted to throw the thing in and leave. Seeing that they were like this, he couldn't be determined to turn around and leave.
She turned around, pulled down the dagger that was stuck on the human fur man, moved the rag strip on the grass man's body to cover the knife's edge, and took the dagger and the bag back together.
She handed the quilt to Nuomin and returned the dagger to Bai Yin. Then she opened the package, took out the cotton coat, medicine and dry food, and finally took out a few packs of medicine and told them carefully what they had symptoms and what to eat.
"These are all prepared medicines I have configured myself. If you don't doubt it, you can use them." He clicked Baiyin, "You must have a fever more often. If you need it, use the medicine. Don't worry your sister."
Bai Yin lowered her head and held a thick cotton jacket. The sleeves of the cotton jacket were halfway up and had not been finished yet, but it could be seen that the materials were solid and the workmanship was exquisite.
Chu Junlan said angrily: "That's the cotton jacket I made for my elder brother, I'll give you some discount first."
Bai Yin's lips moved and she whispered: "Thank you."
"Forget it. If you are caught in the future, don't call me out and thank me."
Facing Nuomin, Chu Junlan couldn't help but ease his tone: "This is my clothes. I've only made them before I can wear them. You should wear them first. I think we are about the same size. You are wearing them too thin. It's a problem if you get sick from freezing at this time."
Nuomin held the goose yellow plain satin cotton jacket with white hair collar and a horse-faced skirt of the same color, and two tears quickly accumulated in his clear big eyes.
"Sister, thank you."
"You don't have to be polite." Chu Junlan couldn't help but pinch Nuomin's face. Oh, it's still very slippery.
Nuomin smiled embarrassedly, turned her back and took off her dirty thin cloth clothes, put on the thick dress that Chu Junlan brought. Chu Junlan took her hairband and tied her double-ring bun with her fingers.
"Okay, it looks much cleaner. You have enough food for a few days. I'll go out and make some arrangements. I'll pick you up after you're done. Don't go out and walk around easily. I'll disguise the cellar entrance later. I think no one will come here. It's almost dawn. I'll leave first."
Chu Junlan turned around and left.
Bai Yin chased after him and said, "You..."
"What?" Chu Junlan looked back.
"You will come back."
Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What are you afraid of? If I don't come back, can you still sleep here?"
Bai Yin's face became hot when she said it, and she realized how cowardly the dependence she had just appeared briefly. Perhaps because of her long escape, there were very few people who treated their siblings sincerely.
Seeing that he was teased, he didn't know what to say. Chu Junlan laughed: "You should wait for me for two days. I'll get home and arrange it to pick you up. I'll tell you in detail later."
After waved his hand with ease, Chu Junlan returned to the ground, rearranged the entrance to the cellar, and ran back home.
In the cellar, Nomin pulled Bai Yin's sleeve: "Brother, please put on your cotton jacket quickly. Although the sleeves are not ready yet, they are warm at least. That sister has good intentions, don't dislike it."
Bai Yin shook her head and put her cotton jacket on her. The solid workmanship and thick materials brought a warmth as soon as she put it on her shoulders.
Nomin looked at the pile of small paper bags of various colors and whispered: "Who is she?"
"Just a good person." Nuomin picked up a small pink paper bag, "Brother, you should use this medicine for your wound."
Bai Yin did not move: "How many women can there be such a good skill and know medical skills in Dayong Capital? She has never directly told us who her surname is. Can it be explained that once we are arrested, someone will recognize her when we say her name?"
Nuomin pulled Bai Yin's neckline: "Brother, I've applied medicine."
Bai Yin said helplessly: "Nuomin."
"Brother, what's the use of thinking so much now? We are already desperate. Only my sister can help us now. Otherwise, can we have any other solutions? The search outside is so strict that if we don't have anyone to help, it will be impossible to hide. Once we are arrested, maybe we will be bribed and killed by the people below before we can see the Emperor of the Great Yong Dynasty."
Nuomin sprinkled the medicine on Bai Yin's chest and the bleeding wound. Bai Yin's muscles were tense, and the wound was burning like that piece of meat was about to be burned.
Bai Yin gritted her teeth and didn't snort, for fear of scaring her baby sister. After a while, she said in a cold sweat: "You believe her."
Nomin said: "I can see that she is a good person."
"Silly girl, you see, everyone is a good person." Bai Yin lit up Nuomin's forehead.
Nuomin pursed her lips and smiled, "Brother, let's eat first. The water brought by my sister is still hot. Let's drink while it's hot."
Bai Yin was pulled away by Nomine and ate dry food and pickles with hot water.
When Chu Junlan returned home, he had just changed his clothes and Zi Yan, who was sleeping in the outside room and warmed the kang by the window, woke up after yawning.
Afraid that Zi Yan would find that there were fewer things at home, Chu Junlan explained to her in a low voice.
Zi Yan almost thought she hadn't woken up yet and was dreaming.
"Miss Three, did you go out last night? I don't know... I slept too hard." I looked ashamed.
Chu Junlan giggled: "You, if I deliberately don't want people to discover it, you won't find me out even if you don't sleep. I'll tell you, just because you're afraid that you'll find that there will be less things later and you will yell, causing unnecessary trouble."
Zi Yan knew that her lady was very sensible in her work, so she naturally didn't ask in detail what was going on. She just nodded and said obediently: "Yes, I remember it."
Chu Junlan didn't sleep all night, so he just took a nap and got up, and had breakfast with Chu Huating as usual.
After the meal, Chu Huating took a bite of tea and asked gently: "Lanlan, when do you plan to go to the Duke of Mao's mansion? After all, it is the holy intention. If you delay, you are afraid of being gossiped about by someone who is interested, and you may cause unnecessary trouble at that time."
Chu Junlan originally had a tea that was delicious, but when he thought of this, he felt that he lost his taste. He gently put down the tea bowl: "Brother, I want to stay at home for a few more days. I hold the cards at home in my hand, and I always have to arrange everything. Besides, if I leave, can I hand over the gift to Aunt Su? We have eaten enough of the pain of being the head of the family before."
Chu Huating said: "What are you going to do about it? After all, there is no mistress at home, and Aunt Wang and Aunt Sun are no longer there. Apart from Aunt Su, there is only Aunt Lu with unknown intentions left. I see that Aunt Lu is basically unwilling to leave the hospital except for going for a walk in the garden from time to time, and will not interfere with the affairs at home."
Chu Junlan sighed and said, "It's even more unreliable to leave it to others. Is Chu Yunjiao? She can't take this airs, and she can't suppress people either. It's better to leave the matter to an individual to manage it. If there are any major issues in the future, it's better to ask the elder brother."
"Ask me?" Chu Huating was a little surprised, "I am a man after all."
"I'm afraid of anything. I don't want my elder brother to take care of everything in detail. You just have to make big decisions. Now that my father has lost his official position, I will still rely on my elder brother in the future. I believe the beauty will be willing to make things difficult for my elder brother in family matters."
Chu Huating thought for a moment, then said, "It's not difficult, for nothing, I understand what you mean. Some power is in the hands of others, so it's better to put it in your own hands."
"That's the reason, not to mention that there is no end to the eggs when the nest is destroyed. The elder brother will still be admitted to the imperial examination in the future. If the Chu family makes any trouble, it will have a great impact on the elder brother. We cannot let them do whatever they want in the future."
The brother and sister discussed it and then got up to go to the study room of the outer courtyard.
Chu Junlan told Chu Cailiang about the transfer of power in charge of his family.
"this……"
Chu Cailiang was a little unresponsive for a moment.
What he originally thought was that when Chu Junlan went to the Duke of Maoguo's mansion, he would hand over the cards to Aunt Su to manage. After all, there are two Aunts around him now, but Lu Xiangxiang is a pure decoration. I don't know when she was "happy" and she left directly. He was afraid that she would take away the property of the family before she left, but Aunt Su has followed him for many years.
If he handed over his full strength to Chu Huating, wouldn’t he have to listen to his son’s big and small matters? He would have really become an old man who could be at the mercy of his son?
Chu Huating observed Chu Cailiang's expression and smiled clearly: "If my father doesn't want to, it's fine. In fact, my son still needs to study, so he is not very obsessed with family affairs."
Such considerate words made Chu Cailiang feel heartbroken.
In the future, this family will rely more on Chu Junlan and Chu Huating. Now they have seized the little power in their family and offended them. If they have made great achievements in the future, they will completely ignore him?
"No, I think what Lan Jie'er said is reasonable," Chu Cailiang said seriously.
Chu Huting hesitated: "But..."
"It's nothing, but, as Sister Lan said, you should make up the big things, and leave the trivial things to Aunt Su to take care of. If she has any trouble, she will ask you if she has anything to do. Alas, I haven't figured it out for my father. Maybe if I had been doing this in the early years, I wouldn't have left the cards to Sister Lan or you, and my family wouldn't have fallen to this point."
Speaking of this, Chu Cailiang shook his head and sighed repeatedly.
Seeing Chu Cailiang's hypocritical behavior, Chu Junlan couldn't help but curl his lips and took advantage of the situation to bring up another thing.
"Father, brother, I have another thing to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?" Chu Huating looked at Chu Junlan in confusion.
Chu Cailiang was also very curious.
Chu Junlan smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. I'm going to go to the Duke of Mao. Although their family must have prepared everything for me. Because the emperor's intention is in it, maybe even the things in the boudoir that I have lived for more than ten years have to be worn out. It must behave like it is true, but in fact, I was completely unfamiliar with the environment after I went there.
"Now there is only Zi Yan left by my side, and there is a lack of credible staff. I plan to buy a girl and a servant outside the mansion and follow me to the Duke of Maoguo's mansion. At least if I encounter something, I will have someone who can run errands and deliver letters."
Chu Huating nodded and said, "You are right. It turns out that some people should have brought you there. These people not only have to accompany you at Duke Mao's mansion, but also your room when you get married in the future."
"That's what I mean." Chu Junlan nodded, "What does my father mean?"
Chu Cailiang thought for a while and said, "This is also great. What kind of thing do you want to buy? I'll call me a little tooth?"
Chu Junlan smiled, "Don't bother my father. I have chosen the candidate, just waiting for my father and elder brother to nod."
Chu Huating and Chu Cailiang both laughed and said that although Chu Junlan would choose.
At the same time, Cao Qin's oral message was also delivered to Duan Zhiheng.
"It's better to catch it wrong than to let it go."
With only eight words, Duan Zhiheng looked cold. He immediately called more than a dozen people and headed straight for the Chu family.
