Seeing that Xue Rang was so obedient, Zhen Baolu was also relieved.
Leaving aside the other girls, there is a cousin Zhou Huanting who has coveted him for a long time in the Anguo Mansion. If her eldest cousin is as enthusiastic as Xu Chenglang, then if Zhou Huanting makes this plan, she will be able to marry her eldest cousin as she wishes.
It's not going to work.
Xiang Han came over with his cloak, and looked at the two people standing quietly under the tree, and really felt that it was as beautiful as a painting. She came closer, only to cough softly.
As soon as Zhen Baolu heard the movement, she immediately took a step back, looking at Xiang Han who came over, and her ears turned red.
Xiang Han took a cherry red icing on the cake cloud brocade cloak, the style was novel and festive. She went over, first saluted Xue Rang, and then was about to put the cloak on her own girl, but just raised her hand, but heard the man next to her say, "I'll come." β
Before she could answer, the big slender hands came over and took the cloak from her hand.
Zhen Baolu didn't think about it so much. Xue Rang treated her well, and she often took care of her like this when she was a child. This kind of trivial matter, she naturally doesn't take it to heart. But now, the cloak wrapped around her body, blocking the cold wind. The cloak was embroidered with a very delicate pattern, the flowers were lifelike, and she bowed her head slightly, and in front of her was the large, well-proportioned hands.
He is not skilled in tying his cloak, so it can be seen that he does not do it often. But she could tell that he was trying to get the little thing right.
The girl's mind is sensitive, and sometimes she gives beautiful jewelry and clothes, although it is satisfactory, but there is nothing new in the end, and it is not very impressive. Often a very small thing will suddenly touch the most delicate thoughts of the girl's family. Zhen Baolu smiled. Although she was still a little awkward in her heart, she had to admit that she was very useful for such a demeanor.
Xue Rang was really not good at this, but he knew that she loved beauty, and after finishing the tie, he asked again: "Is this possible?" β
Zhen Baolu looked down, and before he let go of his hand, his fingertips lightly touched her cheek, but it was just an inadvertent touch, not intentionally. Her expression was slightly stunned, a little embarrassed, and she didn't look at it carefully, and nodded "um" in confusion.
When she was done, she had to go. After all, there is a difference between men and women, and even cousins can't get too close.
She was about to leave, but looked up at him, and saw that his eyes were staring at her quietly, as if they were about to stare a flower out of her face. She muttered, "What do you see me doing?" β
At this time, she was outside, and there was Xianghan beside her, she knew that he couldn't bully him cheekily, and she was confident for a while, so she took out a handful of zongzi candy from her arms, looked down, picked up a few of her favorite flavor zongzi candy, and stuffed it into his hand, behaving very generously.
"Well, that's fine."
Giving the candy, she smiled and glanced at him, and left with Xianghan.

Cheng held his stomach and returned to Zhen Baozhang's room. The maids who were waiting in the house, looking at her like this, trembled one by one, and they didn't dare to speak loudly. Zhen Baozhang, who was lying on the bed of the Huanghuali carved shelf, had a white face, and his complexion was slightly better than Fang Cai, at least his lips were not purple.
When she saw her mother come in, she had this expression, and she knew that she was afraid that it would not work out.
It's good. Zhen Baozhang breathed a sigh of relief, but still got up and said, "Mother." β
In the end, he felt sorry for his daughter, and Cheng hurriedly went over: "Tell you to lie down, what are you doing when you get up?" She held her daughter's hand tightly, her eyes were slightly red, and she said, "It's useless to make you suffer in vain." But don't worry, few people know about this matter today, and my mother will think about it for you in the future. β
Zhen Baozhang said: "Hmm. The daughter knows. She quietly raised her eyebrows, thinking in her heart: As long as she doesn't let her marry Xu Chenglang, anything will happen.
After that, the Xu family and the Xue family came to take a look, but after the old lady heard about it, she couldn't even take a look. The old lady has experienced strong winds and waves, where can't she see what is going on, and she feels that it is too late to be embarrassed, so how can she come? It's the Xu family and the Xue family, and they all know it.
Xu is the head of the house, so it is difficult to say anything, so she only softly comforts a few words. But Xue's is a straight person, today is her son's happy day, and this second sister-in-law actually did this kind of thing, which is really too deceitful. didn't give Cheng and Zhen Baozhang a good look for a while, and said to Cheng before leaving: "Second sister-in-law, take good care of Zhang'er, don't fall into the water again when the time comes." β
Cheng held his breath at Zhuang's and didn't say anything, and touched this third brother and sister who was breathing fire everywhere, and he was about to have a seizure.
Xu hurriedly stopped and said to Xue: "Today is Brother Rui's big day, my sister should be happier." β
In this way, Xue didn't say anything. After leaving the West Courtyard with the Xu family, the Xue family couldn't help but say: "On weekdays, I look at the second sister-in-law's eyes on her head, and I have always looked down on people, but I didn't expect my daughter to do this kind of thing for the sake of a son-in-law." "In Xue's view, the biggest responsibility for this matter today lies with the Cheng family, without this mother's teaching, where would the girl's family be so bold?
Xu also nodded approvingly: "Indeed, this time the second brother and sister have done too much." She knew that her nephew was in demand, but she couldn't do it. Because of this incident, her mother and sister-in-law looked at her with a little more reproach.
Xu's heart was very uncomfortable. After all, this kind of thing happened for no reason, and she was still the mistress of the Qi State Mansion, so she always had some responsibility.
Besides. Zhen Baozhang is a girl in the second room, if something happens to her, it will affect other girls. There are still a few girls who haven't said kiss, if they are involved in ruining their reputation, then Zhen Baozhang will be a rat poop with a pot of porridge.
Xue said: "Sister Zhang'er is not young, and the second sister-in-law is looking for a good family, I'm afraid that the dog will jump off the wall in a hurry, and I don't know what shameless things I will do next time." Sister-in-law, Alu will be fourteen after the New Year, and it is at the critical juncture of the family that she can't be affected. Now Brother Rui is married, and the ancestor takes Alu with him. Ah Lu is beautiful and well-behaved, and she looks so eye-catching. Even many ladies from my side have come to inquire, and when they heard that Alu had not decided to marry, they were all very interested in ......"
This little niece knows that she has an arrogant temper, and she can't tolerate her in her heart, but after a long time, she can see the advantages of this little niece. The Xue family naturally loved it more and more.
Speaking of which, of course the Xu family understood what the Xue family meant. She said: "I also want to marry Ah Lu earlier, but Grandpa Guo said that Ah Lu is still young, and it is not too late to wait." Speaking of this, Xu's eyebrows and eyes were gloomy again.
In this way, the Xue family naturally didn't want to say anything more.

After Zhen Jingrui's family affair, Zhen Baolu went to the women's school to study as usual, but Zhen Baozhang took a leave of absence because he was unwell. In a few days, Zhen Baoqiong and Zhen Baozhang's final exam will be the most important thing for women's schools in recent years.
Zhen Baolu didn't have the heart to worry about Zhen Baozhang, she just thought about her sister.
It's just that Zhen Baozhang suddenly asked for leave, and the girls in the women's school were talking in private, and I didn't know which well-informed girl vaguely knew about Zhen Baozhang's falling into the water, and Xu Chenglang was related. In this way, the smart little girls can also guess seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, and one by one, they all despise Zhen Baozhang.
It is no wonder that the female girls look down on Zhen Baozhang's style, this Xu Chenglang is as gentle as jade, and he is a man who is loved by many girls who are just beginning to fall in love, and he collects his paintings and poetry collections in private, which is very fanatical. The girl's family knows it one by one, but they don't say anything, they all read it in their hearts and look at it, but they can't get it, so they are naturally safe. Zhen Baozhang, who was partial, resorted to this kind of subordinate.
When Xu Xiuxin talked about this, she complained to Shen Shenyu: "Just like her, she also wants to marry my brother, and she doesn't even look at how many catties and taels she wei......ghs," she said, and glanced at Zhen Baolu's position with disdain.
Zhen Baolu was also upset, looking at Xu Xiuxin like this, she naturally understood how this matter spread. She also looks down on Zhen Baozhang herself, but Zhen Baozhang's reputation is not good, which is also a bad thing for her.
Shen Shenyu listened to Xu Xiuxin's muttering, and he was also angry in his heart. Saying that on Xue Yifang's birthday, she looked at the eldest son of Xue in Zhilan Yushu, but she thought about it for several days in her heart, even if she dreamed of it. This is the feeling she has never had for Xu Chenglang. Previously, she felt that Xu Chenglang was the best man in the imperial city, noble-born, rich and wealthy, and gentle and handsome, and many girls in the imperial city admired her. Such a man is a good match for her Shen Shenyu.
She only thought that Xu Chenglang would match her, but the real love between men and women had never tasted it. At this time, she found that she was thinking about Xue Rang, and her heart was troubled. After all, she has been with Xu Chenglang in the past few years, and she has paid so much that even Xu Xiuxin endured it, just thinking that she would be able to marry him after graduation. The talented and beautiful women are a perfect match, and they have become the enviable fairy couple in the imperial city.
Now, that's something to be considered.
Should she choose Xu Chenglang or Xue Rang.
Although she was hesitating, she couldn't tolerate the idea of others beating Xu Chenglang, after all, everyone with a discerning eye knew that Xu Chenglang would marry her in the future. At this time, Shen Shenyu couldn't help but say: "It's indeed shameless." β
Xu Xiuxin nodded in agreement and glanced at Zhen Baolu proudly.
Zhen Baolu was a little upset by her, and immediately said to Xue Yifang beside her: "I'll go to the back mountain to read." β
Out of sight is out of sight.
Xue Yifang understood, patted the back of her hand soothingly, and said, "Well, the exam is coming soon, and the back mountain is quiet, suitable for reading." β
Zhen Baolu went to the back mountain, but with the lesson of the last time, this time he learned to be obedient, and brought Xianghan with him, so as to save time and meet people he didn't want to see.
Zhen Baolu sat in the gazebo reading a book, thinking about Xu Xiuxin and Shen Shenyu, and really had some expectations in her heart. After Shen Shenyu married into the Marquis of Changning's mansion, how should he endure this picky mother-in-law and sister-in-law? What about the county lord? When she becomes a daughter-in-law, she always has to be gentle and virtuous, and her aunt is not a good stubble, but in front of her grandmother, she is not obedient like a little sheep.
This is the brine point, the tofu is one thing, and the other is down.
Thinking of this, Zhen Baolu's mood was much more relaxed. She leaned against the pillar, her legs slightly bent, rested the book on her lap, and raised her hand to gently turn the page.
Then he listened to Xiang Han beside him and said, "Girl." β
Zhen Baolu let out a "hmm" and raised her eyes to look.
Looking at the man who was coming towards the pavilion, he hurriedly got up and tidied up his skirt, stood up, and said in surprise: "Cousin Xu? β
She looked at the elegant and handsome Xu Chenglang in front of her.
Since the day her second brother got married, Xu Chenglang fell into the water to save people, and she has never seen him again.
She held the book in her hand, curled her lips and smiled, and said, "The county lord of Fu'an and cousin Xiuxin are not here. In the past few years, she has kept a distance from Xu Chenglang, but she has also seen him many times in the women's school, and every time she picks up Xu Jinxin and Xu Xiuxin, and picks up Shen Shenyu by the way. So she naturally felt that Xu Chenglang was here to find Xu Xiuxin.
Xu Chenglang paused, his heart was very uncomfortable, stared at her quietly, and said softly: "I'm looking for you." He smiled slightly when he saw her surprise, "...... Lu, I have something I want to tell you. β
