Zhen Baolu went back to Yo Youxuan.
Zhen Baoqiong was originally worried about her sister's body, and she ran out like this on such a cold day, so she couldn't help but reproach: "Yesterday you promised me to stay in the house, but I don't think you listened at all." Cold or not? Hurry up and follow me in......" Zhen Baoqiong chattered, holding her sister's cold little hand, frowning, and quickly asked Xianghan to come over with the stove and cover her.
Walking into the house, Zhen Baoqiong asked, "How is it?" β
What's going on?
Zhen Baolu looked up at her suspiciously, looked at her sister with a smile, then lowered her eyes, and said embarrassedly: "What else?" The ancestors agreed. Although his tone was light, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.
Zhen Baoqiong also rejoiced: "That's good, it's best to promise you to Cousin Xue." Zhen Baoqiong is quite satisfied with Xue Rang, she originally thought that she was going to get married after the New Year, and the most reassuring thing in her heart was this sister, I don't know who my sister will marry in the future. Now it's good, my sister's family affairs have been settled, and a big stone in her heart has also fallen.
Zhen Baolu is satisfied with herself, but she has always hidden some things from her sister about Xue Rang before. She couldn't help but ask, "Does my sister also think that the eldest cousin is good?" She should have discussed this kind of thing with her sister, and although it was late now, she still wanted to hear what her sister meant.
Zhen Baoqiong is also a girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet, how can she be embarrassed to comment on the man like this, she only smiled and said: "I only know that if you become a relative to Cousin Xue in the future, only if you bully him, he will definitely treat you well." β
"Sister!" Zhen Baolu said coquettishly, thinking: How can she be so arrogant? She can also be virtuous and virtuous, okay?
At this time, Shang Ge'er and Rong Ge'er also came over. In the cold winter, Brother Shang was dressed thickly, wrapped in a dark green jacket, his cheeks were pink, and his big round eyes were very clear, and as soon as he entered the house, he grabbed Zhen Baolu's sleeve and said, "Second sister, is the second sister going to marry into the eldest cousin's family?" Brother Rong is reluctant to ...... second sister"
It's no wonder that Brother Rong was crying, this little guy knew that Zhen Baoqiong was going to marry Song Zhi, and understood that this eldest sister was going to someone else's house in the future. All of a sudden, the two sisters left his side, which was undoubtedly a big blow to the little Brother Rong.
Zhen Baolu looked at Brother Rong who was sobbing with a sobbing mouth, and also felt funny, and hurriedly reassured: "How can it be so fast?" β
Brother Rong sniffed, and said pitifully: "Then the second sister is not leaving?" β
Zhen Baolu was helpless, and when she saw him looking at herself, she said, "Don't go." β
Brother Rong burst into tears and laughed. He wiped his snot and tears from his personal mother-in-law, and then said to Brother Shang with a smile: "Second sister won't leave." β
Zhen Baolu glanced at Brother Shang quietly, and saw that his little face was indifferent, and then it was rare to show a little smile, and the little person said decently: "Congratulations to the second sister." β
Zhen Baolu thinks it's funny, how old a person is, he looks like an adult all day long. However, she understood her brother's thoughts, so she said congratulations, as if she was very satisfied with Xue Rang, the second brother-in-law.
Zhen Baolu is happy in her heart, in this life, it is really good that she can marry a husband who everyone in the family likes and she is satisfied with.

On the side of the Changning Marquis Mansion, the Zhuang family seemed to be worried. At this time, he was discussing with Mrs. Xu: "Now that the county lord of Fu'an has become like this, it's not good for us to marry her again, right?" She had annoyed her son several times, but now that she thought about it, she was relieved that she hadn't decided - fortunately.
Although her son is close to the county lord of Fu'an, he has no name or distinction in the end, this family matter has not yet been decided, and the county lord of Fu'an is always embarrassed to post it again, right?
Mrs. Xu was also upset.
The eldest grandson is so good, Shen Shenyu, the lord of Fu'an County, was originally a match made in heaven, but for no reason, this kind of thing happened.
Mrs. Xu heard about the situation that day, and she didn't know what happened to Shen Shenyu at this time, but she heard others say that her legs and face were completely ruined.
Even if she is a princess, she has become like this, which son of a family is willing to marry?
Mrs. Xu sighed and said: "The left and right Chenglang did not make a decision with her, and now it seems that only Chenglang was married earlier......" Mrs. Xu really can't bear to let this excellent eldest grandson marry a girl with leg disease and disfigurement, it is beneficial to their Changning Hou Mansion, but she can't harm her grandson for a lifetime. She said, "On the eldest princess's side, we are offended. But for the sake of Chenglang, we have no other way. Xiuxin has a good relationship with the county lord of Fu'an, you let her visit more. β
Zhuang Shi responded, and said with a sad face: "Mother, you don't know Chenglang's temper. He is stubborn, and I'm afraid I'm not sure of his relatives. β
Mrs. Xu twisted her eyebrows, her face was slightly sullen, and after thinking about it, she said: "Why isn't Chenglang sure of your relatives, is it difficult for you to be a mother?" Cheng Lang is indeed outstanding, but Sister Lu is not as bad as you think, this child was a little naughty when he was a child, but in the past few years, he has gained his temperament, and his reputation in the women's school has faintly surpassed Sister Qiong'er. Before it was too late, the people who came to ask for relatives were about to break through the threshold. What exactly are you not satisfied with? β
If it weren't for Mrs. Xu's satisfaction with Shen Shenyu, Zhuang's fancy would not have allowed Zhuang to look down on Zhen Baolu, after all, it was her own granddaughter.
Zhuang Shi trembled and said: "My daughter-in-law didn't." β
Old Mrs. Xu glanced at her lightly, how she didn't know what Zhuang was thinking, and said, "Then you can think about it." β
The Zhuang family saluted in a proper manner, and then lowered his eyebrows, and Shi Shiran walked out.
Although Zhuang was dissatisfied with the old lady's words, she could only compromise after thinking about it carefully, she called Xu Chenglang and said about the marriage. Xu Chenglang politely refused, as Zhuang expected.
Zhuang looked at his handsome and elegant son, and felt more and more outstanding, so he said, "Isn't it that even your cousin Lu is unwilling to marry?" β
Xu Chenglang has no intention of marrying, every time Zhuang mentions this matter, it is like this, listening to Zhuang's words at this time, Xu Chenglang is a little in a trance, and it took a while to react, and he opened his eyes wide and said: "Mother means ......"
Looking at his son's appearance, Zhuang was also helpless, and said with a smile: "This is what your grandmother meant, and it is also what your mother and I mean." β
Xu Chenglang was excited, stepped forward and said, "Mother really agrees with me to marry Cousin Lu?" β
Zhuang said: "When did my mother lie to you." Let me ask you, would you like it? If you nod, Niang Ming'er will ask the matchmaker to kiss you, if you don't want to ......"
"My son is willing." Xu Chenglang blurted out, but he was inevitably shy, and his face was red-eared, "My son's family affairs, but my mother is in charge." β
Zhuang nodded.
Xu Chenglang smiled and was overjoyed, even happier than when he won the Jinshi. Zhuang looked at his son's appearance, and faintly began to worry, although Zhen Baolu said that he had some knowledge, but the pampering in his bones was there, if he married into the Changning Marquis Mansion in the future, I am afraid it would be a troublesome matter.
Zhuang was already thinking about how to discipline his daughter-in-law in the future. At this time, Xu's henchman Mingzhu walked in, looking a little nervous.
Zhuang said: "What's the matter?" β
Mingzhu glanced at Xu Chenglang who was present, and then walked to Xu's side and told the news he had found. After listening, Xu's face sank and he looked at his son.
Xu Chenglang was slightly stunned: "Mother? "I already had a bad feeling in my heart.
Zhuang sighed and said, "Chenglang, this Zhen Baolu, I'm afraid you won't be able to marry." β
Xu Chenglang hurriedly said: "Mother, what do you mean by this?" β
ββ¦β¦ Today, the Anguo Mansion invited Mrs. Chen to the Qi Mansion to propose marriage, and Mrs. Zhen has already agreed to the relationship between Zhen Baolu and the eldest prince of the Anguo Mansion. β
The Zhuang family didn't know whether to be happy or regretful, but she felt that this was probably God's intention, otherwise this Zhen Baolu would enter the gate of their Changning Hou Mansion.
Zhuang looked at his son's appearance, and was about to say a few words of comfort, but when he saw him turn around and go outside, Zhuang immediately knew where his son was going, suddenly got up, and said angrily, "Don't go!" β
Xu Chenglang was dressed in a green robe and showed elegance, standing there fixedly, and did not turn around. The young man's posture was straight and long, like a tall bamboo, and he said firmly: "Mother, since you were a child, your son listens to you in everything, this time, please forgive my son for not being able to obey his fate." β
After speaking, he walked out resolutely.

Zhen Baolu inserted a red plum just picked from the plum garden into the blue and white porcelain plum bottle in front of the window. The red plum is fragrant, there are a few flowers, and there are a few buds to be released, which will not be opened.
Zhen Baolu has always had a good temperament, and in the past few years, she has followed Zhen Baoqiong to develop these little hobbies, occasionally arranging flowers in person, and being elegant. But most of the time when she's in a good mood.
Xiang Tao's round cheeks smiled, and praised: "This plum blossom is certainly beautiful, but the girl is standing aside, but she is more delicate than flowers." β
Zhen Baolu said: "It's sweet for you." She looked outside and asked, "Is it still snowing outside?" β
Xiang Tao nodded: "Yes, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, so you have to be careful when the girl goes over for dinner later." β
Zhen Baolu also wanted to build a snowman with her fat brother, but she had just recovered from a serious illness, and everyone in the house regarded her as a porcelain figure.
It was snowing heavily, and the house was burning with dragons, but it was warm. Zhen Baolu only wore a pink embroidered pink peony skirt, with a slender figure, showing the girl's exquisite curves. She was talking to Xiang Tao, but Xiang Han outside came in, thinking that it was a lot of snow outside, and there was a little snow on Xiang Han's hair and shoulders.
Peach hurriedly went over and dusted it for her.
Xiang Han had a solemn face, looked at Zhen Baolu standing in front of the window and called: "Girl." β
"Huh?" Zhen Baolu looked at her and asked with her eyes.
Xiang Han said: "Xu Gongzi...... Xu Gongzi, he wants to meet you, and he is waiting in the front yard at this time. β
Zhen Baolu was in a good mood today, but when she heard that Xu Chenglang was coming, her smile increased.
When Xu Chenglang came to see her at this time, she could guess what it meant.
Zhen Baolu felt that she had nothing to say to him, and she had already made it clear that day at the women's school.
Zhen Baolu looked at the sky outside, it was snowing and getting dark quickly, and it was already dark and gloomy at this time. She hesitated, and Xianghan and Xiangtao didn't speak, just waiting for her to speak.
After a while, Zhen Baolu said, "Get me a cloak." β
Xiang Han understood, so he went over to take the cloak.
put on a cloak, Zhen Baolu came out of Yo Youxuan. The snow outside was very large, but fortunately, the wind was not strong, and I only watched the large snowflakes fall quietly and softly, quietly. Zhen Baolu walked out of Yo Youxuan, walked out of the Weeping Flower Gate, and walked along the corridor until she saw a tall figure standing quietly in the courtyard.
Xu Chenglang was standing there.
In Zhen Baolu's impression, her cousin Xu has always been elegant and gentle, and he likes to wear light-colored robes, which makes him feel more and more like a fairy. But at this moment, Xu Chenglang was only wearing a bamboo-blue cotton robe, not even a cloak, and his body was standing thin in the snow. As if he had waited for a long time, a layer of snow fell on his hair and shoulders.
Zhen Baolu walked over.
Xu Chenglang, who was standing in the snow, also heard the movement, and saw that his face was a little blue from the cold, and his lips were also purple. He raised his eyes to look at the little girl who was walking not far away, the maid was holding an oil-paper umbrella for her, she was standing under the umbrella, and her little face was as bright as the delicate and beautiful color of the branches in spring.
He also walked over, with a smile on his cheeks, no different from usual: "Ah Lu......"
Zhen Baolu looked at Xu Chenglang's appearance, and naturally felt moved. She said, "Cousin Xu, let's go in and talk." β
Xu Chenglang said: "No, I'll just say it here." He paused, looked at his cousin in front of him, who had grown up together, and smiled, "I heard...... You're going to get married. β
Zhen Baolu knew that he must have come over because of this incident, but she didn't expect his reaction to be so big, it was the first time she had seen him so gaffe. She had just come out of the house, her cheeks were still a little pink, she looked up at Xu Chenglang, curled her lips and smiled, "Yes." β
"Ah Lu, actually I ......"
Zhen Baolu said: "Cousin Xu, I know what you want to say." But I really want to marry Xue Rang. β
Xu Chenglang muttered: "If I found you that day, would you ......?"
Zhen Baolu shook her head and said, "No." This thing is not the main thing. Even if it hadn't happened, I think I'd still marry him. Cousin Xu, I don't have anything good about this person, Xue Rang married me in this life, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. But don't do this again, so that we won't embarrass each other in the future. β
She said it very bluntly, she was going to marry Xue Rang, and she couldn't have anything to do with Xu Chenglang anymore.
"You know my character, you never force yourself, everything goes according to your own heart, you don't care what others think, and the same is true for this matter. Cousin Xu, go back quickly. β
The corners of Xu Chenglang's mouth curved, and he said slowly: "I understand." He looked at her with a gentle smile again, his eyes doting, no different from the cousin who doted on his sister when he was a child, "Congratulations." β
Zhen Baolu hummed lightly, watched him gradually turn around, and walked towards the distance step by step, his figure was thin, until he disappeared into the vast snow, and he could no longer be seen.
