Chapter 368 Poor Auntie
In the early morning of the next day, a ray of warm sunshine shone in the room, and Luo Lan opened his eyes lazily.
It's already slightly chilly around me, and it seems that Leng Yu has been away for a long time. Today is the day for morning court, and he will go out early during these days of court every month.
As soon as Luo Lan got up, A Cai knocked on the door.
"Princess, are you up? The washing water is ready. The slave has come in."
Ah Cai could always tell when she woke up, or in other words, she was listening to her movements at the door. She probably could hear her even if she turned over.
"Come in."
After she shouted to the door, she stretched and got up from the bed.
Ah Cai started chattering after she came in.
"Princess, Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan have been waiting for you outside with a few guards for a long time. They said that the prince has an order and they must obey your command these days."
"Well, did An An cry and cry last night?"
"My servant has just visited. The two young masters and the young lady are sleeping well. The nannies have rubbed their bellies before going to bed as you asked."
Luo Lan took the wet hand towel handed over by A Cai, wiped his face and nodded,
"That's good. It'll be fine when An An and Lele grow to Huaiyu's age."
"By the way, Princess, General Liu came here early in the morning. He came especially to see Lele. He said that when Lele grows up, he will take Lele to the Duke's Mansion and teach Lele kung fu."
Hearing this, Luo Lan shook his head helplessly,
"Dad is just too straightforward. If you like Lele, you don't have to be so obvious about it. I'll have to talk about him later."
A Cai chuckled while combing her hair:
"It's okay, they are still young and won't be angry."
"But they will grow up sooner or later, and in their hearts, they don't understand why their grandfather treats them differently."
A Cai nodded as if she understood, "What you said makes sense. By the way, breakfast is ready. My slave will bring it to you. The prince specially asked your slave to cook braised eggs for you, saying that you like to eat them."
Speaking of braised eggs, Luo Lan suddenly thought of what happened last night. Did this guy need to hint to her so blatantly?
Thinking of this, she blushed and nodded, "Well, the prince is right, go and prepare."
She didn’t want to explain too much about her liking for braised eggs, as this was really “unspeakable”.
After the meal, Luo Lan called Xiao Lingzi, Zhang Yuan and several guards to him, and said with a serious face:
"After a while, we will split up according to the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest. Xiao Lingzi will take two people to the east, Zhang Yuan will take two people to the west, I will take A Cai and A Hong to the south, and you will take two people to the north. Let's go together
We will visit the villages near Minghua County, look for the families of several women who were divorced by Mr. Li's family, and meet at Lijiazhuang at noon."
Hearing this, Xiao Lingzi, Zhang Yuan and the guards clasped their fists and said:
"I understand, I will go now."
After that, these people divided into four groups. Luo Lan and A Cai traveled in a carriage, while Xiao Lingzi, Zhang Yuan and others rode horses and headed straight for Minghua County.
They also took Minghua County as the center point and searched for people in four directions.
The carriage that Luo Lan and the others were riding in arrived at a village three miles away from Minghua County. She asked the horseman to wait at the entrance of the village, and she walked towards the village with A Cai and A Hong.
They saw several old women sitting there chatting under a big tree. Luo Lan approached and asked:
"Grandma, it's okay to chat here?"
The young lady nodded enthusiastically:
"Yeah, where is the girl? Come to us or visit friends?"
"Lady, I don't go to relatives or visit friends. I want to inquire about it. Have there any girls in our village who have married Li Jiazhuang's Li Cai's house?"
As soon as she asked, the old women looked at each other and shook their heads directly, and some of them said:
"It's almost noon, I have to go home to cook."
Several other old women also followed together, "Let's go, go, go home to cook."
"Several elders ..."
Luo Lan also wanted to ask a few more words, they had gone away.
Looking at the back of these people, A Cai said with anger:
"Who? There is no politeness."
A Hong said quietly:
"Princess, why do I feel a little strange? Gels them, they are quite enthusiastic, but when they mention Li Cai, they have left."
Luo Lan nodded in doubt, she raised her eyes, watching the cooked smoke from the chimney of a family not far away, and whispered:
"Go, go there and ask."
Yan Luo, she walked in front, A Cai and Ahong followed.
They came to the door of the rotten farmhouse. In the yard, an old woman was splitting firewood. From her white hair, she should be 50 or 60 years old.
"aunt……"
Luo Lan called out, the old woman turned back, and the palm of her palm looked at the door at the door. When she saw Luo Lan, she put down the ax in her hand and came to the door to ask:
"Girl, who are you looking for?"
Luo Lan looked at the old lady's deep eyes, and said softly:
"We pass by, can we go in and drink water?"
The old lady saw that she was three women, and nodded directly, "Please come in, there is no other at home, there are still water."
The aunt talked and welcomed the three of them into the yard.
Sitting at the dilapidated dwarf table, watching the lady lying on the stove's raw fire, A Cai wanted to stop her, Luo Lan waved his hand and shook her head.
A Cai pursed his mouth, secretly swallowed his mouth, whispered and whispered:
"Princess, look at her pot, how dirty, and the barrel, it seems that I haven't used it for many years."
Luo Lan didn't mind laughing, "Since it is here to discuss the water, how can we dislike the water of others? People can let us come in, we should be grateful."
Ah Hong is also blame there:
"The princess didn't say anything, but you are suspected of being dirty, do you know how to be ashamed?"
A Cai flushed her face and lowered her head ashamed.
After a while, the aunt came over with a hot kettle. She picked up a few enamel tanks on the table and said to herself while pouring water:
"There is no tea at home, and a few girls will drink."
Luo Lan took the water cup and said again and again:
"Thank you, please sit down!"
The aunt pushed the two glasses of water in front of A Cai and Ahong, and then sat down, muttering in his mouth,
"Since my Dani left, my family has been deserted a lot. You can come here to drink water, my wife is happy."
Looking at the empty eyes of the aunt, Luo Lan pursed the corner of his mouth, and persuaded him to persuade:
"Grand Niang, who is Dani? Where did she go? Are you alone at home?"
The aunt rubbed her hands and nodded,
"Um……"
After nodding, she shook her head quickly, "The family is not alone, and Da Di, she is my granddaughter, but she doesn't know where she goes, I can't find it!"
