Wei saw He Linwan and He Lan in a blink of an eye, so he motioned to them and let them pass.

Xu, who was talking to Old Madam Fan, saw He Linwan and He Lan coming, so he smiled and said to Old Madam Fan: "Old Madam, this is the niece and granddaughter I mentioned to you before. Ah Wan, Lan'er, come over to greet Mrs. Fan. ”

He Linwan and He Lan went over to salute.

When He Linwan raised her head, she happened to meet Mrs. Fan's gaze, Mrs. Fan smiled gently at He Linwan and beckoned her to stand closer.

He Linwan walked up to Mrs. Fan, and He Lan stood behind Wei when he saw that Mrs. Fan was not calling herself.

"This kid is good-looking, and he is blessed at first glance!" Mrs. Fan said to Wei, and then asked He Linwan, "I heard that you are not only able to write but also to be martial, and you are a girl with both civil and military skills?"

He Linwan bowed his head and said: "I have skimmed a few books, and when I was young, I learned some physical fitness tricks from my father and brother, and I don't deserve such praise from the old lady." ”

Old Madam Fan nodded with satisfaction, and said to Du Shi: "Yes, he is indeed a humble and courteous person. ”

Du Shi also smiled with satisfaction.

Ordinary people only thought that they were praising juniors, but He Linwan felt that Mrs. Fan and Du Shi seemed to have reached a consensus secretly.

Next, someone came over to congratulate Du Shi on his birthday and visited Mrs. Fan by the way, and He Linwan stepped aside.

"Have you been to Donglin?" He Linwan asked when he heard a slightly cold voice, and turned his head to find that Fan Lanruo was standing next to her without knowing what was appropriate, obviously talking to her.

"I stayed for a few years, and I just returned to the capital at the beginning of spring. He Lin replied later.

"Far Lands...... What kind of place is it?" asked Fan Lanruo again.

"What is Miss Fan referring to?" He Linwan asked, looking at her.

"If the average person goes to that place, is it easy for them to get sick and die?"

Fan Lanruo's question was clueless, but He Linwan was stunned for a long time.

Seeing that He Lin didn't speak, Fan Lanruo looked at her again.

He Linwan lowered his eyes and said: "It is cold in winter and hot in summer, and there is not much difference between it and the capital. If you want to say that the difference is probably that the people are fierce and bandits are rampant, so I don't know if there are many people who die of illness, but there are many people who die because of man-made disasters. ”

Fan Lanruo was stunned and didn't know what she was thinking, so she didn't talk anymore.

The flower hall was very lively, but Fan Lanruo seemed to be out of place with this liveliness, He Linwan looked at her and felt that she was colder than before. Although Fan Lanruo was also cold in the past, he still had a bit of popularity when he quarreled with Yang Weizhen, but now Fan Lanruo has lost even that trace of popularity.

I don't know which lady proposed to ask Miss Fan to write a birthday word in public to Xu's birthday.

Everyone in Beijing knows the name of Fan Lanruo's talented woman, and this kind of thing of writing and painting in public, writing poems, lyrics, and performing talents has become accustomed to Fan Lanruo.

The maids had already moved quickly to set up the bookcase and the four treasures of the study, and when Mrs. Fan asked Fan Lanruo to go over and write, Fan Lanruo did not refuse.

It's just that when she was asked to pick up the pen, someone noticed something unusual.

"Why did Miss Fan write with her left hand? I remember she's not left-handed?"

He Linwan was also a little surprised.

"It's been a long time since I used my right hand to write, and I won't use it again. Hearing everyone's questions, Fan Lanruo said lightly.

Old Madam Fan glanced at Fan Lanruo and sighed imperceptibly.

Fan Lanruo's posture of holding the pen in her left hand is also very skillful, it can be seen that she has practiced, her previous famous works are all right-handed, and now seeing her replaced with her left hand, I wonder if Miss Fan's left-handed words are better than right-handed words.

It's just that when Fan Lanruo's words were put into writing, everyone found that although her left-hand characters were also very neat, they were only neat, and they obviously lacked the aura that matched her identity as a talented woman.

The ladies and ladies around Fan Lanruo couldn't help but look at each other when they saw it, and they didn't know whether to praise or not.

Fan Lanruo turned a blind eye to the inquiring eyes of others, she put down her pen and said to Xu: "Mrs. Wei, I wish you good fortune and good health. ”

Xu didn't show anything unusual, she asked the maid to put away Fan Lanruo's words, and said with a smile: "Good boy, thank you very much." ”

The others also praised a few words in response to the occasion, and the incident passed as an interlude.

"Is Miss Fan's right hand injured?" When Fan Lanruo came back, He Linwan asked her softly.

"I just don't want to use my right hand. Fan Lanruo frowned, and said in a cold tone, as if he had no intention of further explanation.

"That's a shame. He Linwan knew that Fan Lanruo could imitate other people's handwriting with her right hand, and her talent in this imitation was much higher than Yang Weizhen's.

"There's nothing to be sorry for, what a 'talented girl' is just a false name. Fan Lanruo's attitude was still cold.

During the meal, He Linwan happened to sit on the right side of Fan Lanruo, and when Fan Lanruo raised her hand to pick up the vegetables, her sleeves slipped down a few points, and He Linwan saw that she was wearing a silver bracelet about two fingers wide on her right wrist, and this bracelet did not look like her usual wearing style.

Fan Lanruo noticed He Linwan's gaze, glanced at her, and then put down the chopsticks, and Fan Lanruo never touched the chopsticks again.

On the way back from the Wei family, He Linwan was thinking about the bracelet on Fan Lanruo's right hand, but unfortunately Miss Fan's temper of rejecting people thousands of miles away was even worse than before, so that He Linwan couldn't find out.

However, this time at the birthday banquet in the Wei Mansion was not without gains, He Linwan thought of Qin Shizi's words, and wrote a secret letter to Cui Yan after returning that night.

On the second day, when the sky was just dark, Cui Yan sneaked into He's house to meet with He Linwan, for Cui Yan, it was much easier for him to come to see He Linwan than He Linwan to go out to see him, and it was better to be cautious than to be cautious in the capital.

The place where the two met was a small courtyard behind the west courtyard, the location was relatively remote, and no one came on weekdays.

This was originally a place used by He Guanglie to practice martial arts when he was at home, and the wings on both sides were demolished, leaving a lot of space to build a martial arts training ground, and only three rooms were left in the main room for rest and weapons. After Xiaohuzi returned, this small martial arts training ground became his private domain.

He Linwan told Cui Yan what he heard at the birthday banquet.

"Fortunately, this person and the Qin family are still in the stage of mutual testing, and no more news has been revealed for the time being. Thankfully, we didn't reveal King Kangjun's whereabouts to anyone. By the way, your identity ......"
