From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 562 Offending Mei Xin
Xu didn't think too much, and after withdrawing her hand, she went up to greet Mrs. Wen Guogong.They are all in the mansions of the state, they all live in the capital, they are all official family members, and they often meet at the banquets of various mansions on weekdays, so they are no strangers.

The atmosphere was very good, and the old Mrs. Lu Guogong was quite friendly. Some people in Wen Guogong's family wanted to mention their daughter's marriage.He lightly opened his vermilion lips and was about to say it, but he thought that someone suddenly came in and reported that the sons of the Jiang family, the Guo family and the Kou family were asking to see him, and they wanted to come to greet the old Mrs. Lu Guogong.

Although Wen Ruyan was old, it was inconvenient for her to see outsiders in her boudoir, so Mrs. Wen Guogong could only let it go and keep quiet for the time being.Standing up and following Mrs. Xu into the ear room, Mrs. Zhang, the eldest grandma of Duke Lu's mansion, gently held Wen Ruyan's arm and said, "It's stuffy in the room, let's go outside for a walk."

The snow has stopped and the winter plums are blooming, which is the best view in winter.

Smiling and nodding lightly, Wen Ruyan followed her and left from the other side.

Soon, the young masters were ushered in by the servant girls, first they saluted and greeted each other, and then they wentssiping.Seeing that they all looked good, handsome and handsome, the old Mrs. Lu Guogong quietly ordered someone to invite Mei Xin.

Mei Xin had already left the house, but when she saw that her grandmother had sent someone to invite her, she hurried over without saying a word.As soon as he entered the door, he saw five or six young masters, dressed in luxurious clothes, they smiled faintly and stepped forward to salute the old Mrs. Lu Guogong and called: "Grandmother!"

He beckoned her to sit down next to him, and the young masters came forward to salute and greeted him in unison, saying: "See the eldest princess, the eldest princess is blessed!"

Sitting down on the chair, he looked at them one by one, some he knew, some he didn't know, and there was a young man whom he had never seen before.About fifteen or sixteen years old, with red lips, white teeth and white face, Sai Pan'an looks like a crown of jade.Others bowed their heads and greeted respectfully, but he was the only one staring at Mei Xin with star-like eyes.

Seeing his inquisitive face, Mei Xin asked bluntly: "What are you looking at, is there anything wrong with my face?"

Kou Xian, who was standing beside him, tugged at his sleeves, and immediately bowed his hands in salute: "Princess, please calm down. He is my cousin Han Chen, the eldest son of my second aunt's family. I have always admired the eldest princess for her bravery. I saw you today... ..."

"Beautiful as a fairy!" Han Chen almost blurted out without thinking.

Kou Xian opened his mouth in shock and scolded him, then apologized to Mei Xin and said: "Cousin didn't mean to offend, please let the eldest princess forgive him this time for my uncle's sake."

At home, he often heard third uncle Kou Zhenhai talking about her, and knowing that she was the most annoying when people praised her for her beauty, he felt anxious for Han Chen.

The second aunt married Jiangnan and was not in the capital. Han Chen only lived in his house half a year ago because he came to the capital to study.On weekdays, the cousins ​​have a very good relationship, and they go together wherever they go.Therefore, he also brought him to the banquet at the Princess's mansion today.

He is smart and sensible on weekdays, but today he doesn't know what medicine he took wrongly to dare to offend Princess Zhen, so he would have known better not to bring him here.

Seeing that Kou Xian kicked Han Chen to signal him to apologize quickly, Mei Xin asked blankly, "Are you Kou Xian, the eldest son of Brother Kou's family?"

Talking about Kou Zhenhai's big nephew is a lot of jokes, because he is not a few years younger than his little uncle, and his uncle and nephew have a very good relationship.During the three years in the Mei family's army, he often heard him mention that every time the gold, silver and jewelry obtained from the bandits were divided into two, he said it was for his eldest nephew to save his wife's money.

Kou Xian was stunned and immediately said: "Yes, I'm going to see the princess, the princess is well."

Raising her hand to signal others to sit down, Mei Xin said again: "Well, how old are you this year, what books do you usually read, do you practice martial arts?"

Seeing his handsome appearance and demeanor, I couldn't help but feel a little happy, thinking that Mei Jing would be fifteen or two after the first year of the new year.The Kou family is full of loyalty and loyalty, and the old general Kou was also highly regarded by the late emperor. It would be a good marriage if he could marry into their family.

Mei Jingchu's temperament is soft, honest and honest, the Kou family is simple and kind, the most important thing is that Mrs. Kou is a nice lady, her temperament is also straightforward, and she will definitely not be bullied if she marries her.

Seeing that she didn't care about her cousin Han Chen, Kou Xian couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. He calmed down and replied, "I turned seventeen in May this year. I studied in Sinan Academy and practiced martial arts since I was a child. .”

This is too modest to say, how can you say that the Kou family is also a family of military generals, the old general Kou was also famous all over the world, how could his descendants only know some kung fu.

The more she watched, the more she was satisfied, and the more she watched, the more she felt that he was a perfect match for Mei Jingchu, Mei Xin said with an oh: "So Kai Chun'er is coming to an end?"

In previous years, the exam period was in August, but this year the emperor suddenly changed it to March for some reason.It is said that the weather is neither cold nor hot, and the students will feel better after taking the exam for nine days.

Kou Xian smiled slightly and replied, "Yes!"

"I'm going to end too. I like military books the most. I have two copies in my study. Do you want to read them?" The young man who was just in love suddenly lost his sense of proportion and disorganized, bumping around and talking nonsense like a headless chicken.

Mei Xin saw that his eyes were clear, calm and harmless, she smiled slightly and said, "Second Sister is mild-tempered, but it's rare to teach such a lively, cheerful and familiar child like you. The Art of War is a rare book, if you don't mind, I would like to read it. You are all studying at Sinan Academy, so you must be familiar with my second brother, I will ask them to invite you to our house when they are free that day."

Before the words finished, Han Chen became excited, and blurted out in disbelief: "Is this true?"

Mei Xin smiled but said nothing, Kou Xian rewarded him with a shudder and said: "What nonsense are you talking about, no one in the world knows that the Mei family is trustworthy, and no one knows that General Mei is as good as one promise."

Although he had never met Mei Xin before, he had heard Kou Zhenhai mention it all these years, especially that Mei Xin was trustworthy and kept his word, and he never lied to him.

Seeing that what Mei Xin had said to the two of them was almost the same, the old Mrs. Lu Guogong said: "It's really enviable to see how harmonious and affectionate your cousins ​​are. Let's all sit down and have tea."

After finishing speaking, he took the lead to drink the tea cup.

Fearing that his cousin Han Chen would say something shocking and offend Mei Xin again, Kou Xian said, "Old Madam, a lot of classmates came here today and made an appointment to throw pots in the courtyard. If my brothers want to join in the fun, let's go out first." Yes. Grandmother originally wanted to come here to be lively and lively, but she thought she was caught in the wind and cold, and then went to visit the old lady at the mansion after she was done, and asked the old lady to take care of herself."

Mrs. Lu didn't keep them at the age of fun, and told them to go home and ask Mrs. Kou for herself, and then the two of them withdrew.

As soon as they left, the young masters of the Jiang family and the Guo family couldn't sit still anymore, and they all got up to leave.

After a while, Kou Xian dragged Han Chen to the lake. Seeing no one around, he let go of his hands and covered his head and face, and asked, "What medicine did you take wrong today? Why did you offend the eldest princess for no reason?"
