Chapter 326: An Unexpected Guest
The two cousins were smiling, one was as quiet as the sea, like an ancient well without waves, and the other was as bright as the spring sunshine, fresh and beautiful, but when they looked at each other, they seemed to burst out of sparks, so that the visitors on the side saw it, and suddenly felt that their scalps were numb.

Fu Xinyi suddenly felt bitter in her mouth, opened her mouth, and before she could speak, a series of light and small but obviously rapid footsteps came from far and near, and several people turned their heads and looked at the source of the sound. In a snow-white garden, a bright color suddenly broke in. Hulan's long wool jacket skirt, although the vase that has coiled the woman's head is still stable, but the wind is suddenly under the feet, the small feet under the skirt are flying, and they are fast, and when they get closer, they hurriedly salute a few people, and raise their heads, but Lan Xi saw that her forehead was already sweating, her cheeks flew red clouds, and her breath was slightly panting, which showed how anxious she was.
"Why is Sister Aquarius so anxious, isn't there a distinguished guest coming to the door?" Lan Xi saw that although her expression was a little anxious, she did not panic, but was slightly happy, and she knew that the treasure bottle was sent to the front to help a few wives welcome guests today, so she had a guess in her heart, and asked with a slight smile. But his thoughts were churning in his heart, and he secretly thought to himself, the most expensive guests today are none other than a few highnesses, could it be that there are people who are more expensive than them?
The treasure bottle replied with a smile, "The fifth girl is really bright-eyed, isn't it just a distinguished guest?" Mrs. Zhenxi Hou and Mrs. Jingbei Hou came to celebrate the old lady's birthday together, the carriage and horse had arrived at the second gate, and several wives were welcoming guests together, and they sent the slave and maid back to report to the old lady. ”
Mrs. Zhenxi Hou and Mrs. Jingbei Hou?
Fu Xinyi and Lan Yun both looked at Lan Xi with strange expressions, but their expressions were different, the former was a little vaguely angry, but the latter seemed to have discovered something interesting, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and his eyes were even more shining.
It's a pity that Lan Xi has no time to care about it at the moment. She naturally knew what Lan Yun and Fu Xinyi were thinking. However, no matter how she thought about it, she felt that these two suddenly came to the door, and it shouldn't have anything to do with Geng Xiwu, at least it couldn't have anything to do with their family affairs that hadn't even been moved to the table. After all, there is no maternal and filial piety between Geng Xiwu and Jingbei Hou's wife Shen, and the Shen family will worry about his marriage, but it will only pinch him, and will never be sincere, just like the Wang family did to her in the previous life. But...... The Geng family, a double marquis, the leader among the military generals and nobles, has come to the well water of a clear family like Lanfu and does not interfere with the river water, although there is some friendship, but it is only face, and it is not enough for the two Hou ladies to come to the door in person to congratulate Mrs. Lan on her birthday.
So, why did they come here? Is it just because Master Lan San is in the limelight these days, even a deep-rooted family of authority like the Geng family has to lower his stature?
Lan Xi didn't know, but the doubts in his heart quietly appeared.
After saying that, he hurriedly resigned a few people, walked quickly into the weeping flower gate, and went to the old lady Lan to tell him. Lanxi and a few people had just come out of the Hanging Flower Gate, but at this time, it was difficult to go, and they didn't want to go. Lan Yun smiled even more with deep meaning, and said, "The two Mrs. Hou actually came to the door, and our house is really full of brilliance today, do you say yes?" Fifth sister? ”
Lan Xi was not free, and she was in no mood to pay attention to her. Her thoughts were flying, but she was in a mess, she couldn't find a clue, so she simply put it aside and became a stupid thief who covered her ears and stole the bell.
In a moment, there was a sound in the hanging flower door, and the old lady Lan actually wore a coat and greeted her in person, followed by a group of her old sisters, all of whom were old feudal lords of the family, high in seniority and old, but now they all came out, braving the severe cold, standing in this snow, this Geng family visitor, it is really expensive.
Lan Xi was a little unimpressed, but she didn't dare to delay a little, she stepped forward quickly, and Lan Yun helped Mrs. Lan alone, her eyes quietly looked to the side, and she saw that the two steady big girls beside Mrs. Fu supported her safely, so she was relieved.
After a while, around the corner ahead, there was a lot of noise, and in a blink of an eye, I saw a wave of colorful people suddenly breaking into the snow-white world in front of me. Several wives, grandmothers, and servants from the Lan Mansion walked around a few people.
Lan Xi's eyes are good, and he squinted his phoenix eyes slightly, and the first two women, the older one wore a blue five-blessing brocade brocade leather jacket, covered with a dark red plain cloak, Hua Hair Panyun, a hairpin with gold inlaid mutton fat jade silk beads and phoenix hairpins, slightly rich, round face, kind facial features, and a lovely smile, at first glance, it looks like an ordinary rich wife. The younger one, with a slightly thin and tall figure, wears a big red folded branch flower dark pattern makeup leather jacket, a royal blue woven gold phoenix tail flower thick brocade inlaid with gray squirrel skin, a black hair like black silk, coiled in a high bun, tied to the top of the head, red gold inlaid jade Guanyin distraction looms in the hair, reflecting the slightly curved red lips, slender eyebrows and eyes, reflecting two points of not too soft sharpness.
Lan Xi saw it, and he already had a plan in his heart, the older one was the wife of the Marquis of Zhenxi, the Xu family, and the younger one was the Shen family, the wife of the Marquis of Jingbei. His eyes quietly looked at the two ladies, both accompanied by a young girl.
One person wears blue, one person wears pink, the one who wears blue, the look is cold, arrogant and cold, the pink is like a spring flower, the thin eyebrows and ink eyes, the pink lips are smiling, and the pretty ones are like spring flowers on the branches, and the spring breeze is splendid.
Lan Xi secretly thought in his heart, the Geng family has been prosperous and yin has declined, Geng Xiwu's generation, the masters have been ranked ninth, but the two mansions have two daughters, regardless of their concubines. One is the eldest daughter of Zhenxi Houfu, Geng Ximeng, who married a royal wife, and now Princess Qi. The other is Geng Er, a girl from the Hou Mansion in Jingbei, who is still waiting for Geng Xiruo in the boudoir. Between these two girls, there should only be one surnamed Geng, and the other ...... Lan Xi's mind was racing, she lowered her eyelids slightly, and she lost her contemplation in her eyes, and just as her thoughts were flying, the pedestrian had already approached.
The older woman at the head was none other than Mrs. Xu of Zhenxi Hou, who took a step forward, stretched out her hand to help, and said in a loud voice, "The old Fengjun actually came to greet him in person, but he is going to torture us juniors." I'm still tired of you old people, in this heavy snow, if we suffer from the wind and cold, how can we bear it? Xu's round face is amiable, and his speech is even more cordial and mellow, and when he stepped forward, he took the gift of the younger generation and took care of today's master, but he did not snub others.
Mrs. Lan felt relieved and said with a smile, "The two ladies are rare guests, so naturally they should come to greet each other." In this heavy snow, it was indeed cold, and the two ladies were invited to move into the house and talk again. ”
Everyone on the side echoed one after another, and the two ladies of the Geng family naturally had no reason to be right, and after a while, everyone entered the Hanging Flower Gate one after another.
Lan Xi turned his head and helped Mrs. Lan cross the threshold, but in a moment, she bumped into a pair of black eyes, as if she was curious and had something else, and was secretly looking at her carefully, when she touched her gaze, the other party seemed to be stunned, but did not look away, but gave a smile in return.
Lan Xi curled her lips slightly, smiled back, and thought to herself, the pretty and beautiful girl was not surnamed Geng. The pair of apricot kernel ink eyes, cheeks like pink, have no resemblance to Geng Xiwu, but like Mrs. Jingbei Hou, who has a graceful and noble temperament and a sense of distance, this girl, the surname is Shen.
It was a cousin, the man's cheap cousin. (To be continued.) )
