Β·
At the beginning of the wedding banquet, Zhen Baolu naturally didn't want to stay with Xue Rang anymore. Now that the Duke of Qi is here, Zhen Baolu naturally wants to sit with the Xu family. But at this moment, the eyes of the big guys fell on Zhen Baoqiong, who was pregnant.
Zhen Baoqiong has always been slender and thin, but now she is pregnant with a child, and her cheeks are round.
Xu looked at the eldest daughter's belly happily, patiently admonished a few words, and asked some trivial things on weekdays, so that Zhen Baolu stood on the side, no one spoke, and it was a little embarrassing.
Fortunately, sitting next to Zhen Baolu was Shen Yan, the girl of the Shen family of Qingguo Gong.
It stands to reason that Shen Yan shouldn't be sitting here. However, Shen Yan and Xue Tan are married, and in the future, they will be concubines with Zhen Baolu, and they can talk more when they sit together.
Besides, this Shen Yan is arrogant on weekdays, and when Shen Shenyu was invincible in the past, she was the only one who went against Shen Shenyu. At this time, he took the initiative to talk to Zhen Baolu: "It will be my birthday in a few days, and I will have someone send you a post when the time comes, if you are free, come over, let's talk." β
Zhen Baolu and Shen Yan are just general friends, and she invited her at this time, and she also knows the reason for it - they will be concubines in the future, and they should have more contact.
Zhen Baolu was worried that no one would speak, so she nodded and said, "Cheng, I will definitely go over when I am free." β
Shen Yan had also heard about the Anguo Mansion, and when he gathered to see Zhen Baolu's young and petite one, he really couldn't see that she had a way to deal with the Wang family. No matter how arrogant Shen Yan is, she also knows that Mrs. Xue loves Zhen Baolu, the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, if she marries, she will inevitably get along with this sister-in-law.
Fortunately, Shen Yan also likes Zhen Baolu's temperament, and it is not a reluctant thing to befriend her.
Zhen Baoqiong finally answered Xu's questions one by one, and when she saw that she was going to babble again, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, my daughter will take good care of herself." You too, you have to deal with trivial matters in the house on weekdays, and you have to take care of Brother Shang and Brother Rong, don't work too hard. β
Xu was born young and beautiful, which was beyond the reach of the women present. It's just that I don't know what's going on today, Xu is because of his recent hard work, Xu's cheeks are faintly tired, and there are some faint fine lines at the corners of his eyes. No matter how much this woman is maintained, she still can't withstand the years of time, and the Xu family is much better than most people.
Zhen Baolu was talking to Shen Yan, and when she heard her sister's voice, she also turned around and took a look.
On her left hand sat Zhen Baoqiong, and on the other side of Zhen Baoqiong sat Xu.
Today, Xu is wearing a rose-red Ruyi tattooed gown, combing a bun, and she is dressed decently, but Zhen Baolu looks at it like this, and she does feel that her mother seems to be a lot older, and even her skin is not as delicate and fair as before.
Zhen Baolu was willful before, and there was an estrangement with Xu's mother, but now that she is married, some of the things she cares about in her heart have gradually faded. At this time, he also said: "Yes, mother, you just take good care of yourself, my sister has a brother-in-law." β
Xu Shi was stunned, raised his hand and stroked his face, only then looked at Zhen Baolu's delicate face that could pinch out the water, and said lightly: "You don't need to say more." β
When Zhen Baolu heard this, her cheeks immediately changed. For a while, he didn't say a word.
Even Zhen Baoqiong couldn't stand it anymore, so she took Xu's hand and whispered, "Mother." She frowned, her tone reproachful.
The Xu family couldn't even listen to Zhen Baoqiong's words. She withdrew her hand with an indifferent face and said, "Mother and your grandmother will talk." After saying that, he left the table directly.
Previously, the Xu family treated Zhen Baolu's daughter a little coldly, but it would not be so excessive. Today's behavior made the ladies present a little stunned. Fortunately, the people at the same table were all from their own families, so they didn't say much about each other.
Zhen Baoqiong glanced at her sister beside her, and then said to Xue: "I heard that the fifth sister said a good family matter, I haven't congratulated the fifth sister yet." β
Zhen Baoyue was sitting next to Xue's side, and she was still a little childish in private, but in front of the big guys at this time, she was very gentle, and she was very like a girl from a family. Hearing this, Zhen Baoyue's face blushed slightly, and she snuggled up to Xue's side, looking very shy.
Xue also smiled, obviously satisfied with this family business.
This Zhen Baolu knew it for the first time. The son who was married to Zhen Baoyue was the third son of the Hong family of Taifu Temple, and it was said that he was loyal and honest. When proposing, Zhen Baoyue secretly glanced at it, and felt that the third son of Hong was outstanding, so he nodded and agreed.
For a while, the atmosphere at the table became lively again.
Zhen Baoqiong took her sister's hand and left the table.
Walking to the corridor, Zhen Baoqiong said: "I see that my mother's complexion is not very good, she may be too busy these days, so this temper is a little impatient, Alu, don't think too much." β
Zhen Baolu smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry, I didn't take it to heart." Normally, she would have been depressed for a while, but now that she is married, there are some things that she will not take to heart for too long. It's not comfortable, there's always some. Thinking about Fang Cai's mother's face, she was indeed a little haggard.
In this way, Zhen Baoqiong was relieved.
Zhen Baoqiong is pregnant, and she goes to the toilet more often than usual, so she faintly felt it at this time, so she blushed and said to her sister. Zhen Baolu said: "I'll go with you." β
Zhen Baoqiong smiled: "No need, what is this like, I will have a maid to accompany me." β
Zhen Baolu also smiled, feeling that she really had to change the style of these little girls before leaving the cabinet. watched the maid help Zhen Baoqiong over. Zhen Baolu walked back.
It's just that she was not in a good mood at this time, and she was not in a hurry to return to the table, so she only walked around the courtyard of the Marquis of Changning's mansion.
Zhen Baolu of Changning Houfu is very familiar with this, and he has lived here for a while in his last life. Thinking of those days under the fence, Zhen Baolu felt like a dream.
After walking for a while, I faintly heard the voice of a little girl.
Zhen Baolu paused, looked at Xiang Han who was following her, and asked, "Did you hear me?" β
Xiang Han pricked up his ears and listened to it, and then pointed not far away and said, "It seems to be from over there." β
Not far away is a shallow lotus pond, where Zhen Baolu picked lotus seeds when she was a child. She led Xianghan to look for it, and saw a little girl beside the lotus pond, half of her body was not in the pool, and she was crying with red eyes.
When she got closer, Zhen Baolu was stunned.
It was Xu Xiuxin!
She and Xu Xiuxin have quarreled since childhood, and they have never been right, and now looking at her crying and crying like a wolf, it is obvious that she is not willing to fall. Zhen Baolu couldn't help but smile and said, "What is Cousin Xiuxin doing here?" β
Hearing Zhen Baolu's voice, Xu Xiuxin's crying stopped. The water of the lotus pond is not deep, but it has not reached Xu Xiuxin's chest, and the stones along the side are covered with moss, slippery, and cannot climb up at all.
Xu Xiuxin didn't expect to meet Zhen Baolu, she snorted coldly and said, "Schadenfreude, I don't have to worry about you!" β
Xu Xiuxin has this temper, and she doesn't care about her situation at all.
Zhen Baolu was condescending, standing on the side and didn't go over to help her, she only put her hands around her arms and smiled: "It seems that Cousin Xiuxin is having a lot of fun." "I don't intend to help at all.
Xu Xiuxin really hated Zhen Baolu like this. She hoped that she would have a bad time, but she saw her predicament. She bit her lip and said, "You hurry up, I don't want to see you!" Thinking of the scene when Fang Cai's eldest brother and Shen Shenyu worshipped the church, her eldest brother didn't have a smile on his face at all. She was even more distressed, the golden beans snapped down, bit her lip and said, "If it weren't for you, how could my eldest brother become like this?" How could my eldest brother marry Shen Shenyu? β
was so indiscriminately deducted, where can Zhen Baolu's temper stand it?
She smiled sarcastically and said, "Who is Cousin Xu going to marry, and what does it have to do with me?" Besides, didn't you always want Cousin Xu to marry this Fu'an County Lord earlier? At the beginning, you were inseparable from her, closer than sisters? It's good now, but if people are just damaged, you won't look down on her. If you want me to say that Cousin Xu is not pitiful, my cousin-in-law, with a sister-in-law like you, is really pitiful. β
She felt that Shen Shenyu was self-inflicted and had no sympathy for her. But from Shen Shenyu's standpoint, it is really chilling that this good sister who used to work hard in the past disliked her so much.
Xu Xiuxin was speechless, biting her lip stubbornly, unable to say half a word.
Zhen Baolu said again: "I won't disturb your Yaxing." However, for the sake of cousins, I can give you a heads-up. Today is the day when Cousin Xu got married, and there are many guests, so I have met a lot of them along the way with my sister. You just shout here, and when the time comes, call a foreign man to come over, and when I see you wet, I will congratulate my cousin Xiuxin in advance on finding Ruyi Langjun. β
No matter how stupid Xu Xiuxin is, she also knows that what Zhen Baolu said is the truth - she didn't dare to call people when she cried just now, and there was also this reason.
She knew what Zhen Baolu was thinking, didn't she just ask her to beg her? She won't!
Xu Xiu thought very strongly, and when she saw Zhen Baolu turn around and leave as soon as she spoke, and didn't give her the slightest room to consider, she was so frightened that she lost her face and shouted: "Zhen Baolu!" β
Zhen Baolu paused, but didn't turn around.
Xu Xiuxin hated her high-minded posture, but she still sniffed and said in a low voice: "You pull me up, okay?" β
Zhen Baolu felt that Xu Xiuxin was finally not stupid. She turned around again, looked at Xu Xiuxin who was soaked in the water, and said deliberately: "I didn't hear what Cousin Xiuxin said just now. β
Xu Xiuxin twisted her eyebrows, and her voice was a little louder: "Cousin Lu, please pull me up, I must be grateful to you." β
In this way, Zhen Baolu felt a little more comfortable, and said to Xiang Han: "Go over." β
Xiang Han received the order, and when he walked to the edge of the pool, he went to pull people. It's just that Xu Xiu's heart is a little heavy, and Xianghan can't pull it up for a while. Zhen Baolu simply didn't care, if she continued like this, she would really be bumped into by others.
She lifted the hem of her skirt, squatted down, and stretched out her hand towards Xu Xiuxin in the water: "Give me your hand." β
Xu Xiuxin was stunned, and slowly raised her eyes to look at Zhen Baolu, feeling that her face was indeed too dazzling. She slowly moved her gaze to her outstretched hand, and somehow there was a wonderful feeling in her heart.
She hurriedly staggered her eyes, put her hand on her palm, and was pulled up by their master and servant.
Xu Xiuxin's clothes are soaked, and she is wearing a light-colored tulle skirt today, this skirt is indeed beautiful, but when it falls into the water, it is clear and terrible, and even the red embroidered begonia flower belly pocket inside can be seen clearly.
Xu Xiu's face was stunned, and she hurriedly covered her chest with her hands.
Zhen Baolu looked at her hypocrisy, and said, "Now I know that I am shy." And he said, "...... We're all women, what's so good. I'm much better looking than you are. β
Xu Xiuxin's cheeks were flushed, she didn't expect Zhen Baolu to say such shameless words, she only felt that she was thicker when she got married. But she glanced at her chest, and the undulating and bulging place was indeed much larger than hers, and the shape was full.
She saw Zhen Baolu dressed as a woman again, although she was younger than her, but when she got married, there was a charm of a young woman between her eyebrows, and she was no longer the same as her, she was a young and childish little girl.
Xu Xiuxin just didn't want to admit it, and she had to admit that this Zhen Baolu was indeed much better looking than her, and even there was better than her.
She pouted unconvinced.
Xu Xiuxin was soaked, so naturally it was not easy to move around casually, so Zhen Baolu hurriedly asked Xianghan to get his cloak. After Xianghan took the cloak, she wrapped it around Xu Xiuxin's body.
Xu Xiuxin's little face was a little white from the cold, and she quietly watched Zhen Baolu tie her cloak and belt. The two were close to each other, she looked at her delicate and unparalleled cheeks, she lowered her eyes, her thick eyelashes were covered, as if she was a butterfly winged butterfly wings, her lips were full, not dyed from Zhu, and there was a faint fragrance on her body, which smelled a little sweet.
Xu Xiu's heart was a little in a trance, and she said in her heart: No wonder her eldest brother likes her.
Xu Xiu raised her hand angrily: "I'll come by myself." Then he raised his hand and fastened the straps of his cloak himself.
Zhen Baolu didn't expect her to repay her kindness, so she snorted and withdrew her hand, preparing to go back.
I heard Xu Xiuxin behind him cry out in surprise: "Big brother." β
Zhen Baolu was stunned, turned around, and saw a man walking slowly towards this side, wearing a big red wedding robe, it was really Xu Chenglang.
He should have just come out of his new house to greet his guests.
Xu Chenglang was also a little surprised when he saw Zhen Baolu and Xu Xiuxin. He walked up to Xu Xiuxin and asked, "What's the matter?" β
Xu Xiuxin said truthfully: "I felt bored, so I went out for a walk alone, and accidentally fell into the pool......" The latter words, she didn't want to say, but she also said slowly and reluctantly, "Fortunately, I met Cousin Lu, she pulled me up and lent me a cloak." β
The relationship between Xu Xiuxin and Zhen Baolu is not good, Xu Chenglang knows this best. But he also knew that his cousin Lu was a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person, and when he saw his sister fall into the water, there was no reason not to save him. Xu Chenglang looked at the little cousin in front of him, looking at it at the moment, it was clearer than if he was far away. His tone was a little deliberately distant, and he opened his lips and said, "Thank you, Cousin Lu." β
Zhen Baolu is really a little unaccustomed to Xu Chenglang. She said, "It's just a matter of raising your hands." β
Xu Xiuxin pursed her lips and muttered: "If you save me, you save me, what is humble." β
"Embroidered Heart!" Xu Chenglang raised his eyebrows, obviously disliking Xu Xiuxin's attitude.
Xu Xiuxin was arrogant in front of Zhen Baolu, and became an obedient little white rabbit in front of her eldest brother.
She looked at Zhen Baolu and saw that there were moss marks on the hem of her skirt, and knew that this was accidentally stained when she pulled her. Xu Xiuxin said: "Thank you Cousin Lu for today's matter." I see that your skirt is dirty, you go to the room on the other side of the West Wing and wait for me, and I will ask the maid to bring you a skirt. β
Zhen Baolu glanced down and lifted the hem of her skirt, which was really dirty. It's rare that Xu Xiuxin's attitude towards her is better, and in front of Xu Chenglang, she can't quarrel with her anymore, so she smiled and said, "Then I'm tired of Cousin Xiuxin." β
Xu Xiuxin snorted softly.
When he was a child, Zhen Baolu came to the Changning Hou Mansion many times, so he had his own room in this west wing. The decoration inside is definitely not inferior to the boudoir of Xu Jinxin and Xu Xiuxin. In recent years, Zhen Baolu has not often come to the Changning Hou Mansion, but in the final analysis, it is also her maternal grandfather's house, and occasionally she will stay for a few nights.
Zhen Baolu entered the house with Xianghan, there was no maid inside, but the room was very clean, and there were even fresh osmanthus flowers in the vase in front of the window, and the house was full of the fragrance of osmanthus.
Even Xiang Han praised: "This room seems to be cleaned every day." β
Zhen Baolu thought of something and frowned lightly.
Β·
Xu Chenglang in the front yard was going over to greet the guests, and when he arrived at Xue Rang's table, his handsome and elegant face sank.
Xue Rang also had an expressionless face. When I used to get along with Xu Chenglang, there was still Xu Chenglang who was gentle and polite and talked eloquently, but now that the two are together, Xu Chenglang doesn't say a word, and the scene is cold.
It was Xue Rang who took the initiative to speak, raised his glass and spit out the word: "Congratulations." β
Xu Chenglang snorted coldly in his heart and said lightly: "Thank you." β
The two of them raised their glasses and drank them all.
Song Zhi is also there. He looked at these two people with a smile on his face, and he also knew the inside story. After the toast, Xue Rang sat down, and Song Zhicai quipped: "Look at your tense appearance, people who don't know still think that Xu Dagongzi married your sweetheart today." β
Xue Rang's face darkened a little.
Song Deacon is a father, and he is in good spirits at happy events, and he doesn't bother to worry about this brother-in-law, so he chatted with several other people at the same table.
Xue Rang held on to the wine glass and drank another glass. He raised his eyes slightly, looked at Xu Chenglang in a wedding robe at the next table, and thought of his wife's words, his eyebrows stretched, and his heart was a little more comfortable. He was about to look away, but he saw a man dressed as a small guy hurriedly walked to Xu Chenglang's side, and said something in his ear.
I don't know what's going on, Xue Rang faintly felt that something was wrong, and he also got up and left the table, stepped forward to stop Xu Chenglang, and asked, "What's wrong?" β
Xu Chenglang looked at Xue Rang in front of him, and then hurriedly said: "The west wing is on fire...... Alu is still inside! β
