Chapter 174: Cuttings
Chen Xiran, the daughter of Lord Chen, is small, thin, ghostly, although she is fourteen years old, she looks like a girl of eleven or twelve. This made Zhou Huaiyu quite surprised when she saw Miss Chen for the first time, because she thought that most of the people who love to fight and fight are powerful, even if they are women, they must also be tall.
"Hello Miss Chen, my name is Zhou Huaiyu. Zhou Huaiyu was the first to speak and smiled at Miss Chen.
Chen Xiran had already stared at her eyes that were about to bulge out, but it was the people around her who pushed her that she came back to her senses, and after coming back to her senses, she immediately took the initiative to grab Zhou Huaiyu's hand, "Sister Zhou, I'm one year younger than you, can I call you sister?" said a pair of smart big eyes looking at Zhou Huaiyu watery, so that where could she say her refusal.
"Of course, Sister Xiran. ”
"Sister Zhou, you are so beautiful, it turns out that a few days ago everyone said that the rumors were false, saying that you are not a fat man, but a big beauty is true! Although I didn't believe that you were as fat as rumored, but then I didn't believe that you were as beautiful as the rumors, and when I saw you today, I completely believed it!"
Although Chen Xiran's expression and tone are very exaggerated when she speaks, she will not be disgusted in the slightest, but will think that she is very interesting, and intuitively take what she says seriously.
"I'm really sorry, Sister Xiran, I didn't invite you to participate in the ceremony, don't blame me, because I don't go out of the house often, and I don't know a few people when I come and go, if you have time in the future, you must come to me often to play!"
"It's okay Sister Zhou, don't bother me when the time comes, my friends say I'm a talker, and I'm very noisy!"
"No, I'm happy to hear my sister speak. ”
"Haha, Sister Zhou, you're so nice!"
The first time the two met, they called their sisters and sisters warmly, although both parties were a little deliberate, but in fact, they also had a good impression of both parties.
Chen Yushi is so upright, of course, he is not liked by the officials in the capital, and even the children of the Chen family are involved, because at the previous party, Zhou Huaiyu has never seen Chen Xiran, and everyone will only talk about the "little pepper that doesn't keep the door on the mouth" on weekdays, and pass by. However, Chen Xiran is not popular in the circle of noble women, but he is deeply loved by the children of those lower-ranking officials, just because their parents often say that if there are more imperial histories like Lord Chen in the court, then those corrupt officials will be afraid and dare not be too favoritism, and they will have the possibility of promotion for these oppressed low-level officials.
Therefore, at ordinary gatherings, Zhou Huaiyu was not concerned, but at this party today, Zhou Huaiyu actually became the highest status among the girls present. When Chen Xiran appeared in front of everyone with Zhou Huaiyu in his arms, all the girls stood up to greet Zhou Huaiyu, which made Zhou Huaiyu a little flattered and nodded in return.
"I didn't want to find out that Sister Zhou would come today, everyone's interest is so high, in the past, I invited in every way, and many sisters didn't give Xiran face!" Chen Xiran really lived up to the nickname she didn't have a door, and as soon as she exited, she offended many girls who came for the first time today, and several people present had some sneers on their faces for a while.
Zhou Huaiyu was amused in his heart, his subordinates gently pinched Chen Xiran's arm, and said loudly: "Thank you sisters for taking care of my face so much today, I am not a good person to go out, so I rarely have the opportunity to meet everyone, if you have time in the future, you can come to me and Sister Xiran to play more!"
Chen Xiran couldn't help but smile, just now Sister Zhou said that she could go to play with her at any time, but now she said to everyone that she wanted to find them together, hehe, it seems that Sister Zhou is really different to her.
Today's party, borrowed the name of flower appreciation, as soon as it came up, Chen Xiran announced that he would hold a flower arrangement competition to see who arranged the best flowers.
Zhou Huaiyu was surprised, it turned out that there was also a skill of flower arrangement here, and he couldn't help but arouse some interest.
Everyone saw Zhou Huaiyu's curious look, and those who didn't plan to make a move also began to be eager to try, only a few girls, the game started but didn't go to the game, but surrounded Zhou Huaiyu, and kept talking about the topic.
In the face of these to please her, Zhou Huaiyu easily gossiped with them, and then kept bringing the topic to her and Bai Susu and Su Rongyi. But I don't know if it's because these people are jealous of her identity, when they heard Zhou Huaiyu take the initiative to mention these topics, they were more anxious than her to quickly divert the topic, which made Zhou Huaiyu quite depressed several times.
If Chen Xiran was here, she would definitely understand what she meant.
Chen Xiran, as the host, of course, had to personally preside over the activities she held, and after a while, all the girls completed their own designs, Zhou Huaiyu's eyes swept and couldn't help nodding, these girls really have their own strengths in flower arrangement, but they are all the same good-looking.
At this time, Chen Xiran spoke up: "Sister Zhou, come and comment today, whoever you say is the first, who is the first!"
Zhou Huaiyu was not polite, stood up and walked to Chen Xiran's side, and said to the girls: "You can arrange flowers by yourself, you must have your own unique opinions, it is better for everyone to comment on themselves first." ”
The women introduced their bouquets one by one, most of them were what "the flowers are delicate, but they are folded and folded", "the flowering period is short, and the splendor cannot last forever" The girl forced the analysis of sorrow, one by one, and finally reached the last place, Zhou Huaiyu smiled at a glance, because this girl did not have any flowers at all, but used a bunch of leaves.
The girls couldn't help but be shocked when they saw Zhou Huaiyu smiling happily at the pot of green leaves, because the girls of Wu'an Hou Yan had no expression when they heard what they said, but when they came to Yue Yutong, they suddenly smiled brightly.
This Yue Yutong is worthy of being Chen Xiran's close friend, they are all out of tune, obviously it is a flower arrangement competition, she wants to insert some leaves to steal the limelight!
"Who is this girl?"
"Sister Zhou, she is the friend I told you, Yue Yutong, the eldest daughter of the Yue Commander family. ”
Yue Yutong heard that her friend introduced her to Zhou Huaiyu, her face was not very excited, she still looked noble and noble, stretched out her hand to caress the pot of green leaves, and said quietly: "In the season of flowers, everyone sees the delicate beauty of flowers, but few people pay attention to these green leaves that nourish the flowers, but in my opinion, these leaves are more beautiful." The verdant color makes people can't help but lean over and sniff lightly, even if it is long, it will not be as strong as smelling flowers, so I love flowers, although I also love flowers, but I love branches and leaves even more, in my eyes, these branches and leaves are the most beautiful!"
