Gu Rulan shook his head and said in a low voice, "They didn't leave, since the fourth uncle was demoted, they have eaten alone." ”

As she spoke, she winked at Minglan, a flash of brilliance flashed under her clean eyes, and she glanced at the old lady again.

Needless to say, the meaning of the bottom of the eyes, Minglan understands.

People love face, the old lady has not returned to her parents' house for many years, and now that her mother's family has come, the old lady is so good at hospitality, it is natural to show off.

And the most direct show off is promotion.

As a result, the fourth old man was not only not promoted, but was also impeached with mediocre political performance, and the old lady's face was gloomy.

Mrs. Xu is a shrewd person, knowing that the old lady has lost face, and everyone is too embarrassed to see it, so she excuses herself to be unwell, and eats in the small courtyard.

The fourth master not only went out, but also demoted the official......

Minglan was really worried that he was going to show off in front of his mother's family, but he lost face once, and if he lost it again, the old lady would not be able to bear it.

After returning to the door for dinner, Minglan didn't stay long and left.

Gu Rulan and Gu Xuelan sent her out of the house, and as soon as they walked to the Hanging Flower Gate, Xu Huan came over.

She held a paper kite in her hand, and when she saw her, she walked over quickly, and said with a blessing, "I've seen my second cousin." ”

Minglan's eyes fell on the paper kite in her hand, and said with a smile, "Cousin Xu Huan also likes to put paper kites?"

Xu Huan scratched his forehead and said, "I didn't put it well." ”

Gu Rulan said with a smile, "Cousin Xu is too modest, your paper kite is much better than mine, but the paper kite in our uncle's mansion always likes to break, and they all fly to the Jingyuan next door." ”

Xu Huan's cheeks were crimson.

Minglan's eyes moved, and he smiled, "Are you picking up paper kites from Jingyuan?"

Xu Huan nodded and said, "I flew in the morning, the maid knocked on the door for a long time and no one answered, I thought that there should always be someone at the time of lunch, so I took the maid there." ”

Minglan smiled and said nothing, it seemed that she knew that Jingyuan was Chu Li.

As soon as he thought like this, Xu Huan asked, "I heard the maid in the mansion say that Jingyuan belongs to the eldest young master of the Great General Chu's mansion, is it true?"

Gu Rulan nodded, "It's true." ”

Xu Huan's hand holding the paper kite tightened, and said, "I always feel that there is no one living in Jingyuan, only a few small servants ...... in it." ”

She wanted to ask where Young Master Chu went, but it was not easy to ask clearly, and it didn't matter to her where Young Master Chu went.

Minglan didn't answer and stepped forward.

Xu Huan handed the paper kite to the maid, and sent Minglan out of the house with Gu Rulan and them, she said, "In Qianzhou before, there was a young master who saved me, and before I could thank him, he left, I only know that he is from Kyoto, his status is noble, and he listens to the description of the maid in the house, it seems to be the ...... of the young master Chu." ”

Minglan was not interested in this topic, but Gu Rulan and Gu Xuelan's eyes widened, after all, everyone talked about the drama of heroes saving beauty.

"Young Master Chu saved you?" Gu Xuelan said in surprise.

Xu Huan shook his head and said a little shyly, "I'm not sure yet." ”

Gu Xuelan said a little excitedly, "I'm not sure, you can ask the second sister, she has met Young Master Chu several times, and we haven't seen each other much." ”

Xu Huan looked at Minglan.

Minglan hooked his lips and smiled, his eyes were as vast as a sea of smoke, and asked, "Is there a portrait?"

Xu Huan nodded again and again, and asked the maid to take out the portrait and show it to Minglan.

The portrait is different from the previous life, there is only Chu Li in the portrait in the previous life, and there are many passers-by and more carriages in this life.

To be precise, the painting depicts the scene of the carriage out of control and Chu Li tightening the reins, the portraits are a bunch of lively ones, the streets behind the carriage are chaotic, the images are vivid, and Minglan can't help but praise it.

Bizhu, who praised her eyes, rolled her eyes, it was the prince who saved people, looking at the cousin girl like this, she was really afraid that she would promise her, although she promised the young master Chu, but it was also the prince of the world.

Minglan nodded and said, "The painting is very vivid, almost immersive, it should be the eldest young master of Chu." ”

"The second cousin said that it was the young master of Chu, so it must be wrong," Xu Huan said hurriedly.

Minglan put the painting away and said with a smile, "This painting, why don't I take it away, it just so happens that I am going to General Chu's mansion, and I will help you ask." ”

Xu Huan blinked, she wanted to go with Minglan.

But Minglan said to help her ask, obviously unwilling to take her there.

She also knew that she had left the princess and returned to the Chu family, and she should have asked for peace for the princess this time, and it was really inconvenient to take her there.

Xu Huan nodded and said, "Then there is Second Cousin Lao." ”

"It's okay, it's a gesture. ”

Minglan handed over the painting to Bizhu, arrived at the gate of Bofu, got into the carriage and went straight to General Chu's mansion.

Minglan always thought that the princess lived in General Chu's mansion, but in fact, Chu Feng drove the carriage and passed by in front of General Chu's mansion, and walked forward for a while before stopping.

There was a little servant at the door, and when they saw the familiar carriage, they all cheered, and hurriedly stepped forward to say goodbye.

The princess moved back to the Chu family, but she didn't live in the Chu family's mansion, but in a separate courtyard, just next to the Chu family, and the moon-shaped arch was opened, which was convenient to come and go, and it was okay to say that it was part of the general's mansion.

The courtyard is naturally not as luxurious as the Chu family's mansion, it is a four-entry courtyard, the princess has lived alone, the layout is exquisite, the small bridge and flowing water, the nine-curved corridor, the strange rocks, the strange flowers and vines, the people who see it are dizzying.

The maid led the way, and Minglan went to see the princess.

I didn't go to the main courtyard, but to the garden, through the moon-shaped arch, into the eye is a large lotus pond, in which the hibiscus swaying, the lotus leaves are green and dripping, the breeze blows, condensing a blue mark.

When I got closer, I saw a small boat in the middle of the lotus pond, and the princess was picking lotus flowers, and the sun hit her, shaking a halo, which was more dazzling than the slim lotus flowers.

No wonder Chu Li knows how to enjoy life so much, and the places where he lives are all exquisite, it turns out that he is with the princess.

Staying in the palace, three days and two ends and the prince and the prince made peace, how can there be fun to return to the boat late and strayed into the depths of the lotus flower?

The princess did not have the sadness of separation, and the life was going by with relish, and the prince wanted her to change her mind and return to the palace, I am afraid it was not easy.

The maid stood by the lake and shouted, "Princess, the princess is here!"

The princess was pulling the lotus canopy, and when she heard this, she raised her eyes and looked over, with a dazzling brilliance in her eyes, and said with a smile, "Let her come over to help." ”

was in Minglan's arms, and she couldn't wait to give birth to a pair of wings and fly over.

The maid took Minglan into a small boat, and then rowed towards the princess.

When the two boats were next to each other, Minglan jumped lightly to the boat where the princess was, and there were two baskets on it, one was already full, and the other was half filled.

The princess put the two lotus canopies into the basket, smiled like a chrysanthemum, and said, "Why are you here? ”
