History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 80

September [-]th is coming in a blink of an eye. Although Qin Zhen was taught to be chaste and gentle, she is born with a lively temperament, active and playful.Detained at home all day, it's a rare opportunity to go out to play, and without Wu's supervision, Qin Zhen naturally looked forward to it, and got up early as usual to throw Lin Lang's bed.

It was the Zhu family's birthday, and the sisters who knew each other in Huaiyang almost wanted to join in the party, so Qin Zhen put extra effort into dressing up.Lin Lang's new clothes and jewelry have been finished, they are all the latest materials and styles here, the clothes are fresh and the jewelry is eye-catching, making that face even more beautiful.

Qin Zhen sighed, "It used to be said that Xiangxiang is the number one beauty in Huaiyang City, but now she can't keep her name."

"Sister, look in the mirror by yourself. In terms of body shape and appearance, why don't you pick anything? You only make fun of me." Lin Lang pouted.In terms of appearance, she was indeed a bit better, but her stature had not yet grown, and compared to Qin Zhen who was already tall, she was incomparable in stature.Clothes of the same style, when worn on Lin Lang's body, look more charming, but on Qin Zhen's body, they show off her figure.

Qin Zhen really held the corner of the skirt and twirled it around, and said very satisfied: "Let's stop boasting, we both look good!"

Meals were already prepared in the Rui'an hall, and Mrs. Wu and Mei greeted Mrs. Qin's greetings regardless of the weather. Naturally, Qin Zhen also went to the old man's house, and gradually developed the habit of eating breakfast and dinner together in the Rui'an hall.

The Zhu brothers and sisters celebrated their birthdays. After all, they are children. It is good for Qin Zhen and Qin Huai'en to join in the fun. Mrs. Wu doesn't need to go. Before leaving, she gave a lot of instructions, telling Qin Zhen to be more restrained and not to be mischievous. .Qin Zhen naturally agreed with one hand.

Huaiyang City covers a vast area, and it takes a lot of work to get from the Qin family to the Zhu family. Enjoy the coolness under the old locust tree.The Zhu family sent a steward to greet everyone outside, and when they saw the Qin family's carriage coming, they naturally wanted to meet it.

There are many servants and maids sitting on the gatehouse, who are also arranged to receive guests here.In Huaiyang city, apart from the royal palace of Ruijun, the only one that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Zhu family is the Qin residence, so they were extra courteous to Qin Zhen and Lin Lang, and led them in, and arranged for a small shoulder to carry them in.

There is a crescent-shaped lake in the back garden of the Zhu family, with weeping willows planted outside and pavilions inside.Today's birthday banquet was held here. In the small attic in the middle, Mrs. Zhu was in charge, in the open hall on the left were Zhu Chengyu's congratulators, and in the open hall on the right were the girls.

At this moment, the lakeside was already very lively. On one side were young men in full bloom, and on the other side Yingying and Yanyan gathered together, and their charming laughter was intermittent.

Lin Lang and Qin Zhen first went to the small attic in the middle to meet Mrs. Zhu, there were also many women sitting there, most of them brought their daughters to congratulate, the drunkards were not interested in drinking.Zhu Hanxiang was also sitting there, Lin Lang and Qin Zhen gave gifts, said a few words of congratulations to Fangchen, and then went to the next hall.

There were quite a few girls in the open hall, besides the ones from Huaiyang city, there were also girls from Suizhou and Yezhou who stopped by, it was very lively.

Not long after the crowd was almost there, Mrs. Zhu ordered a banquet, and Zhu Hanxiang came here to have fun with the girls.Tsing Yi sang melodiously on the stage outside, mixed with the laughter of the sons and daughters, the girls on this side became more and more energetic.Some of them are really friends with Zhu Hanxiang, some are for friendship, and some are for Zhu Chengyu.

Lin Lang wasn't very interested in this, the Zhu family had too many bad memories, even if she laughed and joked with her predecessors, Lin Lang couldn't be happy.What's more, Zhu Chengyu's bastard's birthday is really nothing to be happy about.

Accompanied by a few rounds of drinking orders, although the little girls drank sweet wine, but Linlang's drinking capacity was poor, and she felt a little dizzy after a while.Looking at the familiar scenery, thinking of the bleak situation in the previous life, I gradually felt cold in my heart, and I couldn't even pile up a smile.

Seeing that she was depressed, Qin Zhen worriedly asked her what's wrong, Lin Lang said, "I'm a little dizzy after drinking too much, I'll go out and take a rest."

"I'll accompany you." Qin Zhen was about to get up when she said that, but was stopped by Lin Lang, "What do you mean if you both run away from the table, be careful if you are caught and fined for drinking. I'm going to be lazy, you can help me deal with it ?”

Qin Zhen heard the words and said: "Then be careful, don't go to the water. If you still feel uncomfortable, let's go back." Lin Lang nodded, "Okay." Then she took Jinxiu out, Qin Zhen was worried , asked Abi who was with him to follow.

The lakes, flowers and trees in this area are very familiar. She felt dizzy and dared not go near the water, so she walked towards the rockery.Today everyone gathered by the Crescent Lake, but this room was deserted and quiet, allowing her to clear her mind.If I hated Zhu Chengyu in the past, my memory was blurred after a lifetime, leaving only strong hatred.

Reentering Zhu's mansion in this life, the scenes from that year flashed incomparably clearly, from the bride to the abandoned wife, the familiar scenes reminded her of her stupidity and innocence.The hatred is still there, but my heart is getting calmer and clearer, and my thoughts are clearer - there are actually other ways to suppress the Zhu family!

She was leaning against the rockery and was fascinated by the thought, but suddenly there was a "Miss He" from the cave next to her, which almost made her cry out in surprise.

Jinxiu reacted quickly, and when she heard the sudden voice, she dodged in front of Linlang. Linlang was still in shock, looked up and saw Jun Xu coming out of the cave, and asked apologetically, "Did I scare you?"
