Not to mention how Liang was planning to find a future husband for Guo Xinlian before Mrs. Cheng settled on the marriage, when Lu Hanzhi returned to Chengyuan, he received a message from Princess Qingyun, saying that she would come to visit Lu Hanzhi.

Lu Hanzhi originally thought that Princess Qingyun would invite her to the princess's mansion, but when she saw Princess Qingyun coming, although she was surprised, she still asked people to make preparations. Princess Qingyun's post said that Xie Jinglan would also come with her.To be honest, Lu Hanzhi was really afraid of Xie Jinglan's mouth. She didn't have any secrets that she couldn't tell, and she could trust Cheng Junze, but didn't there still be a lot of loopholes in the house, Cheng Junxu and his son, waiting to be filled?What's more, now that Cheng Junyi is asking to marry Guo Xinlian, don't let Xie Jinglan dig out any more secrets.

Having said that, Lu Hanzhi was still happy that his best friend was coming to visit him. He had agreed to eat goose stew in a big pot together earlier. Seeing that the appointment time was the day after tomorrow, he simply ordered the kitchen to prepare it and have it delivered to the house. Give a copy to the elders.

On the appointed day, Princess Qingyun really brought Xie Jinglan. Lu Hanzhi took the cousins ​​to see Mrs. Cheng, and entertained the cousins ​​in Chengyuan. By the way, Cheng Jin, Guo Xinlian and Ye Rong They all shouted to speak.

Although they are very good friends, Princess Qingyun sent the post seriously. Lu Hanzhi originally planned to find a place with a beautiful view in the yard to entertain the guests, but Princess Qingyun refused, saying that it was a cold day and she had to go out. When admiring the snow and plum blossoms outside, why not make a fire in the yard and entertain the children?Lu Hanzhi thought about this and followed her instructions, setting up a small banquet in Chengyuan, and also had someone send a message to Cheng Junze, saying that she was entertaining friends in the yard today and Cheng Junze could take care of dinner outside.

Xie Jinglan has always had a lively personality, and even after getting engaged, she didn't hold back much. After seeing Brother Chen, she wandered around the yard, touched the pot of flowers, looked at the tree, and stretched out her hand to tease the parrot under the eaves. Got pecked on the hand.Princess Qingyun looked at her restless cousin, covered her face and sighed: "Look at her appearance, it's a good thing that my eldest cousin doesn't mind that she doesn't look like a lady!"

Cheng Jin and others didn't care about the first young master who was famous in the capital, but Xie Jinglan was not intimidated by the first young master's aura at all. Hearing what her cousin said, Xie Jinglan raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "I haven't disliked his boring attitude yet. , what is there to dislike about him?"

Because of Prince Jing's residence, the Xie family also had contacts with the Rong family. They had known each other since childhood. Xie Jinglan didn't look up to and admired the eldest son Rong as much as outsiders did.On the contrary, Xie Jinglan, who has been lively and active since she was a child, appreciates the cold and dignified image of the eldest son of Bu Lairong.

Princess Qingyun felt that this cousin was so blessed that she didn't realize how important good character was when choosing a husband. But she thought about Xie Jinglan's ability to dig out people's secrets when she was tied to that bastard from the Zhou family , even if you think about it, no one can get away with it in front of her.

"Are these two plum trees from the south of the Yangtze River?" Princess Qingyun looked carefully at the plum trees in the yard, "They don't look any different at all!"

The plum trees from the south of the Yangtze River were regarded as rare to Lu Hanzhi and others. When the plum trees were sent to Chengyuan, Cheng Jin and others came to see them and even drew several pictures of plum blossoms.But for Princess Qingyun, who has been in and out of the palace since she was a child, it is not unusual. There is no shortage of different varieties of plum trees in the palace, and the carefully maintained plum trees are no worse than the few sent by Jiangnan.

"It was more refined and beautiful when I first came here. It didn't take much care when I kept it here, so it's not as beautiful as it was then." Lu Hanzhi said with a smile.

"That's right, what Uncle Wu Wang wants to give to Uncle Huang is not a plum tree!" Princess Qingyun curled her lips. She had also seen the so-called flower-growing maid sent by King Wu. Flowers are probably the least outstanding talent!

Lu Hanzhi smiled lightly, not surprised.As a prince, King Wu enjoys honor and wealth that ordinary people may not even dare to imagine, but all of this is tied to the emperor. If you want to please the emperor, it is not surprising at all to get the emperor's care.As for giving gifts to the emperor, it is of course better to give them to people than to give things. After all, even the beautiful plum blossoms cannot speak for him!Xie Jinglan walked around the plum tree and sighed: "I am different from my cousin. My plum tree is not as good as the plum tree grown in the south of the Yangtze River. My grandmother only thinks of plums when she sees the plum tree, and we are not allowed to pick flowers. The flowers on the tree are so crowded together that they are not as delicate and pretty as this one."

When Xie Jinglan said this, she didn't have any contempt for her grandmother's aesthetics. She just saw too many of them and felt novel when looking at them.Lu Hanzhi laughed when he heard this and said: "The flowers all over the tree are still bearing fruit, so the mature plums should be smaller!"

"How does Sister Lu know?" Xie Jinglan asked curiously. She had only met Lu Hanzhi a few times, and Lu Hanzhi had never been to Xie's house.

"This principle is very simple. Do you think, if there is a bowl of rice, can one person be full if he eats it, or can two people share it?" Lu Hanzhi gave her an example, "The tree is so big, and it bears a lot of fruit, so naturally it will be full." Smaller.”

Xie Jinglan nodded and said: "Sister Lu is right. When I get married next year, I will give it a try!"

During the chat, Guo Xinlian and her cousins ​​became familiar with Princess Qingyun, and they became more comfortable talking. When they were talking about the situation of Princess Qingyun and his wife moving to the princess's mansion, a little maid came to report and said Mrs. Liang wants to take Guo Xinlian out.

How could anyone just leave without saying hello in advance? What's more, Mrs. Liang has never been friendly to Guo Xinlian. In addition, when Junyi proposed to marry Guo Xinlian, Mrs. Liang's attitude now said that she would take Guo Xinlian out. , not to mention Guo Xinlian, who was recently hit by Liang's grudge, Lu Han and others could smell the bad intentions.

"Second Aunt is going out now? Are you coming back in the evening?" No wonder Lu Hanzhi asked this. It was already getting late, and she was ready to greet a few people to start the dinner.The days are short in winter, so women tend to leave early and return early when they go out. Even in the capital, they are not safe.

Guo Xinlian immediately remembered what happened last year, her face changed, and she said, "It's really late. Thank you to my cousin for caring about me, but I still won't cause any trouble to my cousin."

The person who came to deliver the message was only the second-class maid in Guo Xinlian's yard. After hearing Lu Hanzhi's greetings and Guo Xinlian's rejection, she felt a little embarrassed and said: "The second lady said that she wants to go back to her parents' house. Although it's a little late, she wants to stay for one night." That’s it.”

"..." Of course it's okay for Mrs. Liang to go back to her parents' house for a night, but what's going on with Guo Xinlian?Guo Xinlian was still a little hesitant at first, but after hearing this, she shook her head and said: "My cousin is going back to her parents' house for a short stay. It's not appropriate for me to go with her. Just tell your cousin that it's late today and I'll come to visit you another day." Elders of the Liang family."
