Qiao Lan thought it was impossible. There was no shortage of food in the eldest princess's house.
Regardless of whether He Lanfeng came here for a meal or not, since she made such an announcement and based on the relationship between the two families, she should invite He Lanfeng over.
Even if he really just came here to have a meal!
The Duan family's small banquet was not particularly luxurious. They only picked the dishes available in the village, prepared some other things such as beef and mutton, and started the banquet directly.
At the banquet, He Lanfeng behaved calmly, holding up a glass of wine to congratulate Duan Mingqing and Duan Mingchen, and also greeted Duan Mingjing, saying that his paintings were very good, but Duan Mingjing was so happy that he drank a glass of wine.
A large pot of rice wine that is not intoxicating.
After the banquet, He Lanfeng spoke up and said that he had something to discuss with Qiao Lan.
Qiao Lan understood the idea and prepared the venue directly.
In the quiet room, only He Lanfeng, Qiao Lan and Chen Shu were left.
"I came here this time to say goodbye to the old lady." He Lanfeng said.
Qiao Lan was surprised in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. Was she planning to run away?
Qiao Lan: "When does Mr. Helan plan to start the ceremony?"
Out of politeness, she didn't ask where he had gone. He Lanfeng would probably tell her, and she would just copy the homework.
"We will set off in five days. My mother has a new illness. I want to send her back to the south to recuperate." He Lanfeng explained.
Turns out he was running south!
"Actually, when I come here today, I still have something to ask the old lady about. I wonder if the old lady remembers what she promised me at the beginning?" He Lanfeng asked with a smile that was dazzling.
Qiao Lan recalled something...
...It seems that the promise is a bit too much, who is it from?
Qiao Lan: "Master Helan, just speak frankly!"
"The old lady once made a promise to me, saying that if I come to the old lady with anything in the future, the old lady will definitely help me! I would like to ask the old lady to help me take care of the fields." He Lanfeng said.
Looking for her to farm? She is still good at it. Although Qiao Lan is a little confused, she can accept this request.
"I wonder where Mr. Helan wants to farm? How many acres?" Qiao Lan asked.
So that she can be mentally prepared!
"The amount of land here is not small. I will arrange it for the old lady slowly. Maybe I will have to wait until I leave Beijing before I can make arrangements for the old lady." After saying this, He Lanfeng leaned over and gave a big salute, "Helan Feng
I would like to thank the old lady in advance!"
This salute made Qiao Lan a little uneasy. He saluted directly without saying anything, which made people panic.
Perhaps because he noticed that Qiao Lan's face was not relaxed, He Lanfeng said to reassure her: "There is no need to worry, Madam. Everything is ready and it will not harm Madam." After saying this, He Lanfeng paused for a while.
"It's a coincidence that when I left Beijing, I had a group of guards that I didn't need. Those guards were strong and must be good at farming. I wonder if the old lady is in need? If the old lady
If there is a shortage of people in the field, I can give it directly to the old lady."
Qiao Lan raised her eyebrows!
This is a clear indication!
He Lanfeng not only gave her a gift, but also gave her a boat ticket. She asked herself if she wanted to board his big boat!
Want to log in?
Qiao Lan didn't hesitate too much!
"Thank you, Mr. Helan! I will accept those people!"
The giant ship was already crumbling. The Duan family had no backer and no other tickets. Now someone handed her a ticket for another ship. How could she refuse?
It will be too late to find the boat when it collapses!
After receiving Qiao Lan's promise, He Lanfeng's smile became brighter. The old lady was indeed the noble person in his life, helping him along the way.
Afterwards, he gave a few more words, "I still have some friends in the capital. If the old lady encounters any trouble, go to Tongshun Restaurant to pass a message to He Feng, and someone will come to help."
With that said, he handed a small seal in his sleeve to Qiao Lan.
At this point, nothing else happens.
"It's time to say goodbye. I don't know when I will see the old lady again. I hope the old lady will take care of you!" He Lanfeng said reluctantly.
These words were like raising a flag, which made Qiao Lan very scared. (Flag: flag, crow's mouth.)
"Young Master Helan, please take care of yourself!" Qiao Lan said.
After sending the person away, Qiao Lan looked at the small seal in his hand. It simply printed the word "风" with a few wavy patterns underneath.
Qiao Lan looked at it for a few times but couldn't see any bright hall. She thought it should be a kind of auspicious cloud pattern, so she carefully received it in her box and put it away carefully.
Hope it won't be used in the future.
Within a few days, news spread in the capital that the eldest princess had suffered from an old illness and had a headache. It was said that the imperial doctor had seen nothing and had no choice but to go back to the south to recuperate.
In this way, He Lanfeng would personally send his mother back to the south.
Duan Mingjing felt regretful for a while after hearing this. It was a pity that he left without even having a drink with He Lanfeng! He really couldn't bear to part with him!
Shang smiled when he heard this, thinking that he might not be able to drink even if Mr. Helan was still here.
-
He Lanfeng's departure still made Qiao Lan uneasy, after all, the golden thigh of the family was gone.
But within two days, she heard that a group of strong men had come to her farm with a letter, saying that they had been recommended to farm. They immediately left the house in a carriage to have a look.
When Qiao Lan got off the bus, there was already a group of tall and strong men standing in front of Zhuangzi, about two hundred of them, all of them tall and burly, wearing rough cloth like farmers.
It looks very safe!
"I have met the old lady. We are all foreigners. We were introduced by Mr. He and we hope to help the old lady work and save some money to return home." The leading man stepped forward and said.
The excuses are all ready! Mr. Helan is indeed a good one!
Qiao Lan smiled kindly and said, "Since Mr. He introduced me here, I feel relieved..."
Then he ordered the stewards of Zhuangzi to arrange food and accommodation for them.
Maybe this was her escort when she boarded the ship, so she should be treated well.
After being so busy for a few days, Qiao Lan finally thought of what she had forgotten about! Show Duan Mingchen a girl!
Since there is no need to worry about the imperial examination, it is time to think about life-long matters.
Qiao Lan and several daughters-in-law at home called the matchmakers in the capital and asked if they had any daughters of the right age, planning to find a daughter-in-law for Duan Mingchen.
As soon as the matchmaker entered Duan's house, she used her eighteen martial arts skills and showed stacks of picture albums and name cards. There were not only girls from the capital, but also girls of the right age from the prefectures around the capital, slowly divided according to height, short, fat and thin.
There were so many people that Qiao Lan couldn't read it all at once, so she planned to carefully select a batch with her daughters-in-law.
On the second day, everyone in the government knew that Madam Huitian was looking for a wife for her youngest son. They all took notice and sent messages to the Duan family.
Sang Mansion, in a courtyard of the back house.
Sang Weixiang looked at the letter in her hand and learned that the Duan family was about to marry their daughter-in-law. Her delicate brows furrowed and she gritted her teeth secretly!
We haven’t seen each other for a few days, and they are already getting married!
