Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 195 The mother and daughter of the Xue family came to the door together, and Su Ran was caught off guard (please subscribe and vote monthly)
Xue Baochai agreed to go to the Regent's Palace to plead for her brother, but she also made a request to her mother.

This request is very simple, that is to let her go with him.

When Aunt Xue heard this request, she thought that her daughter Baochai was embarrassed and wanted to accompany her alone, so she agreed.

After all, it is indeed a bit presumptuous and not reserved enough to let a girl who has not left the court come to the house alone.

After the mother and daughter reached a consensus, they immediately started dressing up again and left Rongguo Mansion.

Of course, the dressing mentioned here mainly refers to Xue Baochai.

After all, this is the first time you meet, and first impressions are very important.

As for Aunt Xue, she just changed into clothes that looked slightly younger.

In this way, the mother and daughter stand together, just like a pair of sisters.

However, there was one more thing they needed to do before going to the Regent's Palace, and that was to buy a gift.

It's the first time I come to the door, and I'm asking someone to do something, so I can't justify it without a gift.

What's more, they have never met each other before, so it would be a bit awkward to pass by like this.

However, it would be much better if you brought a gift and announced your home address.

With this in mind, the Xue family's mother and daughter went for a stroll on the street after leaving Rongguo Mansion.

But the choice of this gift stumped the mother and daughter.

A big shot like the Prince Regent can be said to be able to get wind and rain. He has never seen any rare treasures on ordinary days.

Therefore, for this gift, a precious yellow and white item is definitely not the first choice.

What's more, it's probably rare for someone to be considered a rare treasure in the eyes of the dignified regent.

Then, this thing has to be explored in other ways.

Su Ran was a military commander, and the Xue family's mother and daughter didn't know whether he was interested in antique calligraphy and painting.

Therefore, the other party may not like this aspect.

After much hesitation, Xue Baochai finally decided to choose a high-quality inkstone.

Of course, this inkstone is no ordinary inkstone, it is something that comes from everyone and can be collected.

Although the regent established his achievements on horseback, pen and ink are also needed to deal with government affairs today.

Therefore, sending this square inkstone should be just right.

After getting the gifts, the mother and daughter headed all the way to Longjing Street.

When the two arrived at the door of the Regent's Palace, they were immediately stopped by the doorman.

After Aunt Xue revealed her identity, the disciples saw that she and Xue Baochai behind her were well dressed, so they went in to report.

On this day, Su Ran happened to have missed the morning session and was in Qin Keqing's room talking to the pregnant Qin Keqing.

Hearing that someone from the Xue family was coming, he couldn't help but frown.

I haven't had any interaction with the Xue family of Jinling on weekdays, so why would they suddenly come to see me?

Although thinking about this, Su Ran still asked Menzi to invite people to the living room.

After all, the four major families in Jinling are all related by marriage.

When Aunt Xue saw that the door let her in, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

This time I took the liberty to come to the door with two tasks. First, I had to plead for my son Xue Pan.

In addition, her daughter Xue Baochai must leave a good impression on the regent.

These two seemingly impossible things must be done in one day.

Of course, Aunt Xue was not the only one who was nervous. At this moment, her daughter Xue Baochai was as uneasy as a deer beating around and beating a small drum.

However, they were nervous, but after all, both mother and daughter came from big families, and neither of them were country women who had never seen big scenes.Therefore, by the time they arrived at the living room of the Regent's Palace, the two of them felt a lot more at peace.

After the mother and daughter sat down, the maid below immediately served them the best tea.

However, Su Ran was not in a hurry to show up, but talked to Qin Keqing for a while before coming to the living room.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a well-maintained woman wearing silk-colored clothes.

Judging by his age, he should be around 40 years old.

From between her eyebrows, Su Ran could see something familiar.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of one person, Mrs. Wang, who had just come to see him the day before yesterday.

The woman in front of her comes from the Xue family in Jinling, so if nothing else happens, she should be Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang's sister.

However, after Su Ran's eyes stayed on the woman for a moment, he was quickly attracted by the young and beautiful girl behind her.

Her lips are red without dots, her willow eyebrows are green without paint, her eyes are like apricots, her skin is whiter than mutton fat and jade, and her appearance is like that of an immortal.

When Xue Baochai saw Su Ran's burning gaze on his face, he immediately felt his cheeks burning.

And this strange atmosphere also fell in Aunt Xue's eyes.

Seeing the way Su Ran looked at her daughter Baochai, she was originally about to declare her family status, but she temporarily held back and did not disturb her.

Just like that, an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air and penetrated directly into the hearts of this young man and woman.

However, although Xue Baochai is beautiful, Su Ran is not someone who has never seen beautiful women.

The nine ladies in his room, including Feng Yan'er and Xiao Xuan'er, are not the most beautiful women in a hundred.

Therefore, realizing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, he quickly reacted.

The next moment, he looked at the two of them and smiled, "Stop standing there, sit down and talk if you have anything to say."

Aunt Xue heard the words, responded, bowed to Su Ran again, and then sat back to her original seat.

Xue Baochai, perhaps still recovering from his shyness, did not speak. He just smiled lightly, bent down and nodded to Su Ran as a salute, and then sat down.

After sitting down, Aunt Xue immediately announced her home.

At the same time, he also formally introduced his daughter, Xue Baochai, to the Regent Su Ran.

After the introduction was completed, Xue Baochai was asked to salute Su Ran.

However, just as the other party got up and made a gesture of preparing to salute, Su Ran immediately stepped forward to support him.

After all, Xue Baochai was a young lady who had not yet left the court. Su Ran held her hand like this, and her pretty cheeks couldn't help but turn red with embarrassment.

At this moment, Xue Baochai suddenly remembered that he had brought a gift, and immediately pulled out his smooth little hand from Su Ran's palm without leaving any trace.

The next moment, she turned around and held the high-quality inkstone in front of Su Ran, with a bit of shyness in her beautiful eyes: "I don't know what you like, His Royal Highness, so I brought you an inkstone , I thought you might be able to use it when dealing with government affairs on weekdays."

When Su Ran saw this, he immediately took the inkstone with a smile.

However, she did not open the outer package, but looked at Xue Baochai and said: "Thank you very much, Miss Xue. It's just that I'm a rough person and I'm not good at dancing and writing. I'll have to ask the girl for more advice in the future."

Hearing this, Xue Baochai smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness, you are too modest. Who doesn't know that you are a rare hero in the history of literature, Taoism and military skills?"

After hearing Xue Baochai's comment, Su Ran couldn't help laughing: "Miss Xue is really good at talking. If you say that again, I'll be confused."

When Xue Baochai heard this, he said with a smile on his face: "What Baochai said is true. Your Highness's reputation is admired by everyone in the world."

Aunt Xue, who was on the side, saw that her daughter was chatting so well with the regent, and for a moment she felt that her presence was a bit unnecessary.

At the same time, she was secretly happy for her daughter Baochai.

After all, it's a great start.
