Chapter 156: Miss Shi Xiangyun of the Baoling Marquis's Mansion
"Miss Yingchun has entered the Sun family after all, so she must speak for outsiders."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to get married in the future."

"Besides, it is really hard to trust the master of your house. He might sell his daughter again."

"Why not follow Tanchun's example and stay in Ningguo Mansion? That way, outsiders won't be able to say anything."

"My sisters are all at home, so there is no need to worry about having a bad life."

"The contract is with me"

"."

Chen Ran successfully convinced Jia Zheng by presenting facts and reasoning.

Things have come to this, it is better to stay in Chen Ran's house than go home and be criticized by others.

After all, Chen Ran's status is different, and there is already a precedent of a concubine of the Jia family becoming his concubine.

Jia Zheng walked away feeling dizzy, feeling as if something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

"master."

The beautiful Qin Keqing, while helping Chen Ran wash and go to bed, casually said, "There are more and more sisters in the family. If the master likes any one in the future, I will go and invite her myself."

Jia Zheng was unable to understand the double act between Chen Ran and Sun Shaozu.

But Qin Keqing grasped the key point: "No matter what the process is, I only look at the final result and who benefits in the end."

Jia Yingchun eventually came to the mansion and became Chen Ran's concubine. If we trace back from this result, this series of strange events must be related to her.

This is probably a woman's intuition.

Feeling that Qin Keqing was expressing her dissatisfaction, Chen Ran had his own plan to deal with it.

"Zhong has grown up now, we have to find a way out for him."

He did not respond to Qin Keqing's attack, but chose to start a new topic: "I will donate a background to him and find a way to send him to be a county magistrate."

Many places in the Zhou Dynasty were similar to those in the Qing Dynasty, where one could donate silver to become an official.

But if you don’t have a background, you’ll have to wait in line for a long time to get a job.

Hearing this, Qin Keqing was overjoyed.

In essence, she is also a brother-supporting woman.

It’s just that Chen Ran was too strong, so he didn’t dare to show it before.

Now that Chen Ran took the initiative to give benefits to her brother, Qin Keqing was naturally very happy.

Don’t underestimate the help of donating money for official positions and the arrangement of vacant positions.

This is equivalent to directly transforming him from a commoner into a civil servant without going through the cruel imperial examination or the grace of blood inheritance.

What’s even more surprising is that he was the second-in-command of a county right from the start.

It is no exaggeration to say that it has directly crossed the class line.

In the modern world, if a man does this for his brother-in-law, wouldn’t his wife repay him with gratitude?

Qin Keqing repaid her gratitude with a spring of water, the spring water gurgling.

As for the increasing number of issues concerning the sisters in the mansion, they were naturally left unresolved and would not be mentioned again.

The Jia family did not react much to Jia Yingchun moving into Chen Ran's mansion.

After all, Chen Ran's status is much higher than Sun Shaozu's, and becoming his concubine will not tarnish the reputation of the Jia family.

The only one who really expressed disgust at this was Dabao Lian.

It’s a pity that he has no say now. When he was mumbling, Jia Zheng heard it. After a loving lecture, he immediately chose to shut up.

When the news of Sun Shaozu's return to the army spread, the nobles reacted differently.

Most people think that Chen Ran is amazing. A eunuch whose future is obviously ruined, he can actually stand up again. This ability is absolutely amazing.

Upon hearing the news, King Zhongshun flew into a rage in his own palace.

After venting his anger and fear, he quickened his actions in secret.

He was very clear about his current situation and it was obvious that he had been abandoned by the emperor.

The best ending in the future is that the second prince ascends to the throne and can live a leisurely and wealthy life as a prince.

But if the eldest nephew or the youngest nephew came to power, he, the ninth uncle who once supported the second nephew in his bid for the throne, would probably either die suddenly or be imprisoned until death.

He was unwilling to give up, so he had to fight hard.

The person who was most shocked by this news was actually Wei Ruolan.

Like Sun Shaozu, he was sentenced to castration for the crime of deserting the battlefield.

This crime, coupled with castration, means being abandoned by the family.

Being able to support him and prevent him from starving to death is already a sign of family affection.

Originally, Wei Ruolan had already lost all hope and even planned to cancel the engagement.

But when he learned that Sun Shaozu, who was supposed to have the same suffering as him, had been revived, his dead heart instantly came back to life.

"The master is busy, please wait."

Wei Ruolan, who had taken the initiative to visit, was led by the family general to the flower hall to wait.

The maid brought him tea, but he didn't drink it.

It's not that he doesn't like tea, but drinking too much water will naturally cause more urine, but he is not yet used to squatting and using the wooden pipe.
Then just drink less water.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Chen Ran finally came in with a smile on his face. "I'm busy with official business. I'm sorry for the long wait."

Wei Ruolan stood up to greet him and was about to say a few polite words, but she was shocked to see a few lipstick marks on one side of Chen Ran's neck.
Before being castrated, he had also been intimate with the maids at home, so he naturally knew what this meant. 'It's really busy, refusing to rest in broad daylight.'

Wei Ruolan felt empty between her legs and her heart was filled with sadness.

Waving his hand to let the maids go out, Chen Ran gestured for them to sit down.

After a few polite words like "It's a nice day today", Chen Ran got straight to the point, "I wonder why Brother Wei came here today?"

After adjusting her mood, Wei Ruolan said sincerely, "Mr. Ran, I heard that you helped Sun Shaozu return to the army. Is this true?"

"There is such a thing."

Suppressing her emotions, Wei Ruolan pleaded with the most sincere attitude in her life, "Sir Ran, I am in a similar situation to Sun Shaozu. Please help me return to the army."

At this point, he stood up and bowed to Chen Ran, "Wei Ruolan will definitely remember your great kindness and repay you with a gift of grass and a ring!"

"That's why you came here."

Chen Ran picked up the teacup and took a sip. He put it down and spoke slowly, "Brother Wei, get up and talk. You sound like you're forcing me."

Wei Ruolan's heart tightened and she quickly stood up, staring at Chen Ran with sharp eyes.

He secretly swore in his heart that he could pay any price as long as he could regain his future!
"Brother Wei, you actually know that." Chen Ran began to raise the negotiation price by posing difficulties. "This kind of thing would offend His Majesty. After all, it was His Majesty who convicted you. The risk I bear is huge."

Before he finished speaking, "Besides, you are not returning to the army to be small soldiers. Military affairs still need the approval of the emperor. How can you waste such incense and love casually?"

The Jia family wasted money on incense and love at will, because "when a woman is in charge, the house will fall down."

People like Lady Jia and Lady Wang have long hair and short knowledge, and they don't know how to cherish the relationship with their ancestors at all.

But Chen Ran is different. He understands the importance of relationships.

How can you help me without enough benefits?

Wei Ruolan understood and nodded immediately, "As long as you open your mouth, I will do whatever I can for you without hesitation!"

There's no problem with giving me benefits. As long as it's something I can do, just tell me.

"They are quite sensible, much smarter than the Jia family."

Chen Ran smiled and stretched out his hand, motioning him to sit down and talk.

After Wei Ruolan sat down, he slowly spoke, "I heard that Brother Wei has a marriage contract?"

Wei Ruolan was stunned by these words.

He was mentally prepared to lose everything he had, or even be bullied.

But I never expected that Chen Ran would mention his fiancée.

"Yes." His mind was changing, but he quickly responded, "Ms. Xiangyun, the legitimate daughter of the Baoling Marquis's mansion."

After confirming Wei Ruolan's urgency, Chen Ran did not beat around the bush and said directly, "It's not impossible to help you, as long as you send Miss Xiangyun to me."

Chen Ran has no connection with the Shi family, and more importantly, Shi Xiangyun is already engaged.

In this era, marriage engagement, especially in wealthy families, was a very serious matter. There were even cases where one would become a widow after death.

Compared with those women hundreds of years later who were still fooling around after getting married, and even had several children that were not their own, there is no comparison at all. They can only be compared with those in brothels and prostitutes.

Before, it was too difficult for Chen Ran to poach someone else.

Originally, Shi Xiangyun and Jia Yuanchun were planned to be put last, and action would be taken when the situation became overwhelming.

But when Wei Ruolan and others took the initiative to ask to go to the frontier to gain merit, Chen Ran had already begun to prepare.

In fact, if you think about it, if he hadn't secretly let go of one corner, how could Wei Ruolan and others have easily escaped from the heavily guarded military camp?

If he hadn't secretly arranged for people to exaggerate the threat and encourage everyone to escape, how could they have run away without knowing what was going on?
Afterwards, everyone else was beheaded, except Sun Shaozu and Wei Ruolan, who were castrated, which laid a solid foundation.

Now is the time to reap the fruits.

"You" Wei Ruolan's face was filled with shock.

He really didn't expect that Chen Ran would set his sights on Shi Xiangyun.

"I knew that Xiangyun would run to Jia's house for no reason, and something bad would happen! I never thought that this person would take a fancy to her!"

Wei Ruolan's worries were not wrong. Even in the original novel, Shi Xiangyun, who went to the Jia family every day, was the childhood sweetheart of her "beloved brother" Jia Baoyu.

This was a relationship that was destined to have no ending from the very beginning.

It's simply because Jia Baoyu is such a scumbag that he flirts with a girl and tricks her into running away even though he knows she's already engaged. He's so despicable.

Chen Ran was neither anxious nor hurried. He sat calmly in the chair waiting for a response.

Wei Ruolan was struggling between inner and outer struggles, and her expression changed obviously.

"Sir, how can I marry Xiangyun in my current state?"

The last bit of conscience in her heart made Wei Ruolan refuse tactfully.

After all, he is a eunuch now, and if he forcibly marries someone else, he will be criticized.

Chen Ran didn't answer at all, but just smiled at Wei Ruolan, then reached out and picked up the teacup to drink tea.

Seeing this scene, Wei Ruolan's expression suddenly changed drastically.

This is a rule that everyone understands, serving tea to guests.

This means that there is no room for negotiation on what Wei Ruolan wants.

Without any hesitation, Wei Ruolan immediately wiped out the last bit of conscience in her heart and said simply, "Ran Gong, rest assured, I will definitely do it!"

Chen Ran smiled and nodded, "Then I'll wait for your good news."
