Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 327 Heading to the General's Mansion

Fu Guogong was practicing calligraphy in the room at this time, and just as the pen fell, he heard Lan Yao's voice from the door. He frowned slightly, and looked at the time. At this time, shouldn't Yaoyao be studying etiquette in her courtyard?How did you get here?
"Grandpa." The servant opened the door, Lan Yao came in and saw Fu Guogong who was frowning at her, and quickly called out with a smile.

Fu Guogong nodded, and was about to criticize her, but found that Lan Yao was followed by two women.Qianqian and Miss Xiao's family.He put down the brush in his hand, since Yaoyao's friend came, it was inconvenient for him to blame him in front of outsiders.

"grandfather."

"Hi, Mr. Fuguo."

Lan Qian and Xiao Yuan walked in and saluted Duke Fu.

Fu Guogong smiled and looked at the three of them, "What's the matter?" Although he was asking three people, his eyes were always on Lan Yao.These three girls came to him at the same time today, it must be related to Lan Yao.

Lan Yao giggled, avoiding Duke Fu's eyes.

Lan Qian took a step forward, "Grandpa, it's like this." She turned her head and glanced at Lan Yao who was blinking at her, then turned her head and continued to say to Duke Fu, "Sister Xiao Yuan happened to come to see my sister today. Qianqian may not have seen Sister Xiao Yuan for a long time, so she wanted to go to the General's Mansion with her sister. I don't know if Grandpa agrees, so I came here to ask."

After hearing this, Lan Yao nodded quickly.

Fu Guogong's eyes stayed on Lan Yao's face for a moment, and he didn't say yes or no.

"Grandpa, I have been studying etiquette very seriously these days, and my mother praised me recently." Lan Yao knew what Fu Guogong was thinking, and said quickly.

"Okay." Fu Guogong nodded, that's all, it has been a month since the nanny taught Lan Yao etiquette, and the nanny also told him in secret, praising Lan Yao for being smart.Yaoyao also grew up watching her grow up, and she is very clear about her personality.Now that he is forced to lock him in the house and learn etiquette with his mother for so many days, he must be bored.Since the lady from the General's Mansion is here today, and Qianqian also said to go together, it's good to let Yaoyao go out to play.

Seeing that Duke Fu finally nodded in agreement, Lan Yao's eyes suddenly lit up.

"The weather is not bad today, so go ahead. But you have to come back earlier." Duke Fu reminded him, then picked up the writing brush on the table, dipped it in ink, and continued to practice calligraphy.

Lan Yao and Lan Qian looked at each other, smiled at each other, and saluted without disturbing Grandpa's handwriting practice.Lan Yao turned around and blinked at Xiao Yuan who was behind, and the three of them went out together.

"It's so easy to release Duke Fu?" Xiao Yuan asked in surprise after she came out. "I thought the Fuguo Guild disagreed at first, and it was up to Qianqian to continue lobbying."

Lan Yao stretched her waist and exercised her muscles. These days, she has to learn etiquette every day. It really tortures people to death.Now that she can go out to play, she feels like a caged bird that has been released to soar in the vast sky again, and she is very happy.

"I think it's because of my good performance in the past few days that grandpa is so easy to talk to." Lan Yao said with a smile.

Xiao Yuan rolled her eyes, "Yaoyao, you will put gold on your face."

Lan Yao snorted.

Lan Qian walked at the end, seeing the two people fighting in front, she couldn't help but smile, "Since grandpa agrees, let's go now. Sister Jing Ning is probably waiting for us in the general's mansion."

The servants of the mansion prepared the carriage.Because Xiao Yuan came in her own carriage, she didn't sit with Lan Qian and Lan Yao.

The two carriages drove slowly through the streets of the capital, and arrived at the General's Mansion not long after.

The guard at the gate saw that it was the carriage in his mansion, so he opened the gate directly, and saw Xiao Yuan got off the carriage and hurried up to meet her.

"Miss is back."

"Yeah." Xiao Yuan nodded lightly.

Lan Qian and Lan Yao got off from another carriage.Lan Qian was weak, so Lan Yao got out of the carriage first and carefully helped Lan Qian down.

Lan Qian looked at the plaque above the vermilion gate, and the words 'General's Mansion' appeared in front of her.Is this the General's Mansion?She had been back in the capital for so long, although Xiao Yuan came to the mansion to look for her sister from time to time, but she had never been to the general's mansion.

Speaking of which, I have been staying in Fuguo Duke's Mansion since I came back, and only occasionally went to the Prime Minister's Mansion with my sister, and I haven't been to other places.

"Qianqian, be careful of the steps." Seeing Lan Qian staring at the door, Lan Yao couldn't help reminding.

Lan Qian lowered her eyes and smiled at Lan Yao, "Thank you sister."

Xiao Yuan brought Lan Yao and Lan Qian to her courtyard.Ask the servant girl to invite Jing Ning over.After the maid went out, Xiao Yuan casually chatted with Lan Yao and Lan Qian in the room.

Sui Xi stepped forward to refill hot tea for the three young ladies, because Xiao Yuan's courtyard had some snacks prepared all year round, so Sui Xi also brought them and put them on the table next to Lan Qian and Lan Yao.

"Qianqian, come and have some dim sum. The dim sum here is delicious." Xiao Yuan pushed the plate of pastry on the table towards Lan Qian, and said with a smile.

"Thank you sister Xiao Yuan." Lan Qian picked up a piece of pastry and tasted it, nodded, "It's delicious."

When the maid went to invite Jing Ning, Jing Ning had just returned from Mother Xiao's courtyard, and when she heard the maid next to Xiao Yuan come to invite her, she guessed that Xiao Yuan had returned from Fuguo Duke's Mansion.

"I see, you go back first, I'll be there in a while." Jing Ning said to the maid indifferently.

She was talking about Wanxi with Bihua, and she was still thinking about telling Mother Xiao to be wary of Wanxi in secret.After all, Wanxi's purpose is definitely not pure.

"I'll discuss this matter with Xiao Lin when he comes back." Jing Ning said to Bi Hua.I don't know when, as long as something happens, I will always think of Xiao Lin, and want to hear his opinion and see what he thinks.This seems to have become my habit.

"Yes." Bi Hua nodded and replied respectfully.

"Let's go to A Yuan's place." Jing Ning got up, straightened her dress, and went to Xiao Yuan's courtyard.

As soon as Jing Ning entered the room, he saw Yaoyao and Lan Qian sitting inside.

"Yaoyao, Qianqian, are you all here?"

Lan Yao turned her head, because Jing Ning was already married, the bun on her head was also combed into a woman's attire, the youthful look faded from her face, and she became stable and mature.

Lan Yao was suddenly in a daze, Jing Ning was already married, so fast.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Jing Ning saw Jing Ning after she got married.Thinking in her heart, Lan Yao couldn't help staring at Jing Ning in a daze.

Jing Ning smiled, stepped forward, and waved her hand in front of Lan Yao's eyes, "Yaoyao, what are you staring at me for? I haven't seen you for a long time, do you miss me?"

Lan Yao came back to her senses, rolled her eyes, took a sip from the teacup next to her, "Seeing that your face is full of oil, you must have lived a very nourishing life as a newlywed."
