Chapter 47 Friends meet
"What mother said is that no matter what other people think, we are all children of the Xu family now. When we go out, it represents the face of the Xu family. We must not be underestimated. Seventh brother, don't cause trouble today!" Xu Mingchen stood up He straightened his back and scanned the surroundings lightly with clear eyes, quite like a nobleman.

"Brother, don't worry, you and mother, I'm not the same person I used to be!" Xu Minghao also puffed out his chest, raised his head, his mother was right, they can look at it if they want, anyway, they can't see a single flower Come.

The Lei family of the Zhen Guogong Mansion is rich and powerful, and specially built a very spacious Cuju Garden in the capital. The garden is divided into two large courtyards, the front yard is used to entertain guests and hold banquets, the back yard is used for Cuju competitions, and there are stands outside the venue. , for guests to watch.

As soon as the guests enter the garden, there will be special servants to guide the way. The female relatives enter the west side of the front yard, and the male guests enter the east side of the front yard. Those who participate in the competition can directly enter the back yard, where there are also special people to receive them.

"Mother, we want to stay with big brother and the others!" Entering the Cuju Garden, Lin Shuran originally planned to take Xu Mingsong and Xu Mingsheng with them, but it was their first time participating in the Cuju meeting, and they were very excited, especially seeing many The children all ran in the direction of the backyard, and their souls all floated away with them.

"Then you don't run around, you must follow the brothers closely!" Lin Shuran arranged.

"Don't worry, ma'am, I will take good care of you young masters!" Xu An also came today, and Lin Shuran couldn't take care of so many people alone when he went out for a banquet.

With Xu An following them and the hidden guards guarding them, Lin Shuran was not that worried, so she led Chunxi to the west side to greet her master.

At this moment, the reception hall on the west side of Cuju Garden is already very lively. Just as Lin Shuran walked up to wait for the servants of Lei's family to go in and report to the master's house, she saw a pink figure rushing out, and then came to her , grabbed his hand and said happily: "Sister Ran, you are finally here, and I was worried that you would not come!"

Looking at the young woman with bright eyes and white teeth, Lin Shuran first looked at her blankly with a strange face, and then she seemed to see a lively and lovely little girl in her hot and bright eyes, and then suddenly burst into her mind I learned a lot of memories about her, and then became familiar with her.

"Sister Yingying?" Lin Shuran's slightly unfamiliar words made Lei Yingying's joyful face darken. It seems that the rumors are true. It is said that Lin Shuran was overly sad because of Gu Jingcheng's death. Sometimes she was sober and sometimes confused. I don't recognize people much anymore.

"But sister, it's only been three years since I saw you, so you don't recognize me!" Lei Yingying suddenly hugged Lin Shuran sadly, "I'm your best friend, have you really forgotten?"

Faced with Lei Yingying's similar accusation, Lin Shuran raised her hand and patted her on the back in embarrassment. Lei Yingying is the daughter of Zhen Guogong Lei Yi. She is warm and generous. She came to Cuju Garden for the first time to take care of her When Jingcheng competed, he and she became good friends at first sight, but the year Gu Jingcheng went to the battlefield, she married to Yunzhou, and the two of them hadn't seen each other for more than three years.

"I haven't forgotten, you promised to bring me the crisp pears from Yunzhou, but did you bring them?" Lin Shuran asked jokingly, taking advantage of the situation to separate herself from Lei Yingying, so that the two of them could face each other face to face.

Lei Yingying immediately smiled and said: "Of course I brought it, I will send it to you personally later, let's go, let's find a place to talk alone!"

As she said that, Lei Yingying dragged Lin Shuran to go somewhere else, but Lin Shuran didn't follow her immediately, but grabbed her and said, "Sister Yingying, I haven't seen my aunt yet, wait a moment !"

"Look at me, I was so happy that I forgot that you are already married, so you can't run wild with me like before!" Lei Yingying said with some regret.

Then, Lei Yingying took Lin Shuran's hand affectionately and entered the hall. At this time, the hall was already filled with female relatives from various prefectures according to their grades, and many people were standing, joking and chatting. He stopped his voice and looked at them, especially Lin Shuran.

Many people present have met Lin Shuran a few times. When she was in her boudoir, many people came to ask for marriage. However, she was so focused on Gu Jingcheng, the son of the Gu family, that he wasted three years of youth. Married, but in the minds of many people present, she felt that it was a pity that she married someone like Xu Junze who was powerful but had no family to support her, and had thirteen more sons when she entered the house. Life must not be so easy .

According to the rules of the Jin Dynasty, Lin Shuran greeted Zhen Guogong's wife, Mrs. Yang, and others generously and naturally. Some people returned the greetings to her in a friendly way. Lin Shuran didn't mind putting her in his eyes either.

Lei Yingying knew that Lin Shuran didn't like this kind of occasion where there were too many women and it was too lively. It was really tiring to talk in such an occasion. The women in the back house always spoke with hidden insinuations, with more eyes than lotus eyes , getting along is really tiring.

"Mother, sister Ran and I haven't seen each other for many years. I have a lot to say, so I'm going out first!" Lei Yingying said, although she was married, she still acted like a little girl in front of her mother Yang.

Yang loved her very much, so he tapped her forehead lightly, and agreed with a helpless smile.

However, when Lei Yingying dragged Lin Shuran out of the reception hall, she ran into Gu Jingcheng's mother Guo Shi and his younger sister Gu Xiruo outside.

The two of them didn't seem to expect to meet Lin Shuran like this, and they were stunned there for a while, but at the moment they saw Guo Shi and Gu Xiruo, the memory about them also revived in his mind, Lin Shuran's face was calm He walked up to Mrs. Guo politely, and bowed to her politely.

"Shu Ran met Aunt Gu's family, how are you doing recently?" In his memory, Mrs. Guo has always been very kind to Lin Shuran, and even regarded her as her future daughter-in-law and daughter. However, since Gu Jingcheng's death, she and Mrs. Guo have also Never met again.

Guo looked at Lin Shuran with reddish eye circles, with a smile on her mouth, but her sadness was uncontrollable, because when she saw Lin Shuran, she thought of her son Gu Jingcheng, if Gu Jingcheng hadn't died, he and Lin Shuran must have married and had children, but now her son It was gone, and the daughter-in-law she had identified also belonged to someone else's family. This great sense of gap made her hands tremble a little.

Gu Xiruo didn't expect that after three years, her mother would still be so excited when she saw Lin Shuran. She hurriedly supported Guo Shi, but glanced at Lin Shuran with a bad expression, as if she was blaming her, and then said to Guo Shi: "Mother, Let's go in!"

Gu Xiruo almost forced Guo Shi into the reception hall, and Guo Shi didn't have a chance to say a word to Lin Shuran. Lei Yingying was a little angry about Gu Xiruo's performance. The girl saw Lin Shuran before. All with a smile.
