The second prince also had the temperament of doing what he said, and left the horse farm with the guard, and went straight to the gold and silver building of the carp dock.

He is so straightforward in front of the guard, and in front of ordinary people, he is very steady and introverted.

The two rode horses from the suburbs to the south gate of the city, and then dismounted and walked leisurely to the gold and silver building.

At this time, it was close to noon, and there were not many customers in the store, so the second prince went directly to the counter and asked the shopkeeper, "May I ask Miss Wei is still in the store?" ”

The shopkeeper was fiddling with the abacus to settle the accounts, and when he heard this, he looked up and saw that they were two well-dressed, polite, handsome and dignified young men, so he asked with a polite smile: "Dare to ask the names of the two sons?" What's the matter with Miss Xunwei? ”

"We are Miss Wei's brother, passing by here, come in and see her." The second prince smiled gently, which made the shopkeeper lighten his guard.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper looked at the two of them carefully, and then taught a guy to go to the private room on the second floor to pass the word, and then asked someone to lead the two to the small flower hall at the back of the first floor, and served tea and snacks.

In the private room, An Ruolan and his party were laughing and cheering, and they were all surprised when they heard the words of the guys.

"You mean, two guys who call themselves my brother came to the store looking for me?" Wei Shao was puzzled, she only had one brother, no cousin, and the rest of her cousins were still in the Northeast, where did two brothers pop up?

And with her brother's unenlightened, honest and sluggish temperament, he won't come if he can't come.

Who the hell will be looking for her?

"Let's go down and see." Zhou Mi'er built yì.

Wei Shao nodded, and was about to say something to An Ruolan, but the three sisters of An Ruojin stood up first and said, "It's not too early, we should go back." ”

"So fast?" An Ruolan was surprised.

"When we asked my grandmother for advice, we only said that we would be trained if we didn't go back." An Ruoke and An Ruoyan frowned, their faces full of reluctance.

An Ruolan reluctantly took the hands of the three of them and said, "Why don't you tell your grandmother to stay outside the house for a while?" ”

If my grandmother knew that it was their sisters, she wouldn't have been so restrictive.

Hearing this, An Ruojin smiled bitterly: "You don't understand, it's not that my grandmother doesn't want us to get together more, but my grandfather." ”

Halfway through speaking, An Ruoke intercepted her words and said indignantly: "It's all because An Ruodan, she told my grandfather about your appointment to meet us, and my grandfather said that it is not easy for you to take care of He Ji now, and you must be busy with affairs, so I told us not to delay you too much time and go home early." ”

There is a sense of irony in this.

An Ruolan was surprised, "How did grandfather take care of the backyard?" ”

I was even more puzzled, how did my grandfather know that she was busy?

An Ruojin saw her puzzlement and explained: "Grandfather learned from the Zhong Mansion that you were in Qianxunju, and he sent people to pick you up many times, but the steward there kept saying that you were not available and pushed my grandfather's request. ”

"I see." An Ruolan nodded clearly, presumably Mr. Yi blocked it back.

She didn't care what her grandfather's purpose was in a hurry to see her, she had already guessed.

An Ruojin showed a worried look and said, "Lan'er, I heard that recently, the old lady of the Zhong family has been worried about Uncle Zhong's fourth uncle because of her worries, and she is worried about becoming ill, and intends to let you go to the Zhong Mansion to serve the sick. ”

If it weren't for Lan'er's involvement with the Zhong family, she would not have paid attention to the affairs of the Zhong family now, which she heard when she occasionally went out to meet friends.

Hearing this, Wei Shao frowned and said, "Doesn't the Zhong family have a granddaughter?" Why did Ruolan go to serve the sick? This is clearly a cover. ”

An Ruolan didn't understand, but she couldn't help it, and said: "There is no way, my father-in-law is only my daughter-in-law, and Grandma Zhong is in poor health because she is worried about her father-in-law, so it is reasonable for me to serve my illness." ”

"It's this reason, I'm afraid it's not Mrs. Zhong who instigated to let you go back to serve the sick." Zhou Mi'er meant something.

Everyone knows it, I'm afraid this matter has nothing to do with Second Master Zhong.

Thinking of Second Master Zhong, An Ruojin thought of her grandfather again, and was even more worried, and said, "And grandfather ......"

She didn't want to say what her grandfather was right or wrong, but her grandfather's mind was really dark.

For a moment, several people fell silent.

Seeing this, An Ruolan was moved, and smiled briskly and confidently: "Okay, okay, I know everyone is worried about me, don't worry, with Mr. Yi here, I will definitely be fine!" ”

"Even so, you should be careful." An Ruojin glanced at her.

"Okay, I'll save it." An Ruolan winked playfully.

Wei Shao couldn't interject on the side, and waited until they finished speaking, and then asked An Ruojin anxiously: "Are you really going back now?" The tone was full of reluctance.

An Ruoke pulled her hand and said wistfully: "Originally, my grandfather didn't let us have much contact with the people of the Weiguo Mansion. ”

Hearing this, Wei Shao was depressed and disappointed, she has lived a rich and comfortable life since she was a child, and she never felt that there was anything wrong with being born in the Wei family, but when she arrived in Shengjing, many girls of the same age were unwilling to associate with her when they heard that she was the young lady of Weiguo Mansion, which made her both sad and angry, which is why she still has no friends.

Seeing her like this, An Ruojin patted her shoulder and comforted her softly: "It's okay, we can go down in private." ”

Only then did Wei Shao cheer up and bow his head seriously.

After a few words of mutual care, An Ruojin and Wei Shao went downstairs together.

An Ruoyan deliberately fell to the end, grabbed An Ruolan, frowned and said: "Lan'er, if you have to be free, get together with Sister Jin more, the eldest lady is now completely focused on Brother Sheng, and Sister Jin has a hard time in the house." ”

An Ruolan was slightly shocked, she knew Sister Jin's situation, but she only learned from the news collected from Qianjilou, and she learned about everything comprehensively, and Sister Keyan was also aware of this.

Perhaps, among their sisters, the most transparent is the fourth sister?

Nodding cautiously, she patted An Ruoyan's hand and said, "Sister Yan, don't worry, I will take the time to accompany Sister Jin more, and I will ask you and Sister Ke to accompany Sister Jin more on weekdays." ”

"That's as it should be." An Ruoyan smiled and bowed her head, obviously relieved.

Thirteen-year-old An Ruoyan is also a big girl, with a quiet and tranquil temperament, it is easy to make people feel good, and she approaches unconsciously, An Ruolan knows that she will find a good husband who loves her and cherishes her.

While the six of them were talking, they went downstairs, and after sending An Ruojin and the three of them away, Wei Shao went to see the two people that the guy said.

"Brother? Second Brother Yan? Seeing the two people sitting in the flower hall drinking tea leisurely, Wei Shao exclaimed.

How could it be the two of them?!

After the shock, she snorted, squinted at Wei Xing, and said, "Didn't my brother say that he couldn't come?" Why is it here again? ”

Wei Xing was embarrassed, but the second prince helped him explain: "I pulled him here, refer to my opinions, and choose a congratulatory gift for the queen mother as a gift." ”

"Oh." Wei Shao replied in disbelief.

The second prince smiled teasingly and said, "You are comfortable, we have been waiting for you for a long time, and you will only come down now." ”

"How did I know it was you two, when the guy went to pass the word, I thought it was a liar from somewhere." Wei Shao was straightforward, and then said happily: "Since you are here, let's go up and sit together, I have made a few good friends, but three have already left first." ”

"No, ......" Wei Xing was just about to refuse, but the second prince snatched his words and said with great interest: "Okay, you are good at picking jewelry, so I want you to give more construction." ”

Wei Xing opened his mouth and looked at the second prince expressionlessly, the second prince raised his eyebrows playfully, leaned close to his ear and bit his ear: "Don't you want to apologize to Miss An Liu, how can you apologize if you don't meet?" ”

"......" Wei Xing was silent, so he had to follow Wei Shao and the second prince, who were talking and laughing, and went up to the second floor together and entered the innermost private room.

An Ruolan and Zhou Mi'er went back to the private room first, Wei Shao took Wei Xing and the second prince to the door of the private room, and just wanted to push the door in, but the second prince stopped her and said, "No." ”

Then he arched his hand inward, and raised his voice: "In Xia Zhao Yan, I want to see Miss An Liu, I don't know if Miss is convenient?" ”

In the door, An Ruolan and Zhou Mi'er, who heard the voice, glanced at each other, and their eyes were shocked and panicked.

Zhao Yan? Isn't that the second prince today? What is he doing here?!

Without waiting for the two of them to think about it, Wei Shao's voice sounded: "Ruolan, Mi'er, it's me, and Second Brother Yan and my brother, we want to ask you for a favor." ”

An Ruolan's pupils opened slightly, and the guard was also there?

Zhou Mi'er glanced at her and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to see her?" ”

Although she is arrogant and informal, she is still a little timid about meeting strange men.

An Ruolan paused, and also had some scruples, so he replied in a loud voice: "I don't know what happened to Zhao Gongzi? Let's just say that the little girl will definitely do her best. ”

Hearing the response from the door, Wei Shao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, she thought that with her friendship with Ruolan, it shouldn't be a problem to bring her brother and second brother Yan in.

Seeing this, the second prince comforted her softly and said, "Miss An Liu is right to do this, it's not that she doesn't treat you as a good sister, but it's a matter of honor and honor, so you have to be cautious." ”

Wei Shao also knew that the ladies and celebrities in Shengjing City couldn't meet men casually, so he was relieved when he heard this, and replied: "Ruolan, Mi'er, Second Brother Yan is here to choose a congratulatory gift, and I want to ask you to give an opinion." ”

Picking a gift?

Zhou Mi'er raised her eyebrows, remembering that it would be the queen's birthday soon, and wanted to come to the second prince to choose a congratulatory gift for the queen's mother.

She nodded to An Ruolan.

An Ruolan said: "In this case, I also asked the two sons to temporarily rest in the next room, and the little woman instructed the men to prepare suitable jewelry for the two sons to choose." ”

"Then thank you Miss Anliu." Zhao Yan said politely, exchanged a look with Wei Shao, and entered the private room next door.

Hearing the footsteps outside, Zhou Mi'er said, "Do you really want to go over to say hello?" The second prince ......"

I want to ask why the second prince came to ask you for help and how did you meet, but I can't spit out the words when they come to my mouth.

An Ruolan knew her question, shook her head, and said, "I don't know why the second prince is looking for me, but I saw the second prince in the Yongning Hou Mansion four years ago, when the eldest lady of Yongning Hou got married. ”

Zhou Mi'er nodded and said, "My father said that the second prince is calm and introverted, and his character is upright, so he really just asked us to help choose jewelry." ”

An Ruolan smiled, the second prince is indeed a righteous gentleman, she knew this in her previous life.

So he told Wan Sanniang to get some jewelry, and the two sisters picked up it again, covered their faces with a scarf, and then went to the private room next door.

The two pushed the door in, and the second prince and Wei Xing immediately got up and saluted, "The two young ladies are polite." ”

An Ruolan and the two of them bowed in return, exchanged a few polite words, and sat down one after another.

Soon, Wan Sanniang came in with a stack of brocade boxes, large and small, all of them were put on the table, and Fu Fu said respectfully: "Wan Sanniang of the slave family, please say hello to the young ladies of the son." ”

Everyone bowed their heads in return, and Wan Sanniang asked with a smile: "Dare to ask which son wants to choose jewelry?" While neatly swinging the brocade boxes one by one, open the lid.

An Ruolan raised his hand and said, "It's Zhao Gongzi." ”

Wan Sanniang understood, and asked Zhao Yan: "Does Zhao Gongzi want to see for himself first, or will he be introduced by the slave family?" ”

Zhao Yan waved his hand politely and said, "I'll take a look for myself first." He smiled at An Ruolan and the others: "Please also ask the two young ladies to give more advice." ”

"Zhao Gongzi is polite." The two of them took their heads.

Zhao Yan's original intention was not to buy jewelry, but to provide an opportunity to help Wei Xing, seeing that Wei Xing was sitting on the side and silent, he secretly pushed Wei Xing and signaled him to seize the opportunity to apologize.

Wei Xing pursed the corners of his lips, indifferent to his friend's reminder, not that he didn't want to speak, but he didn't know how to speak!

He secretly pushed Zhao Yan's hand away.

The two of them fought under the table.

Wei Shao sat next to Wei Xing, and when he saw the movements of the two people under the table, countless question marks appeared in his heart, what is this doing?

Zhao Yan pretended to be carefully selecting jewelry, and at the same time competed with the guards under the table, feeling angry and annoyed, how could he have such a clumsy brother?

An Ruolan lowered her eyes slightly, ignoring the increasingly obvious movements of the two opposites.

She probably guessed the purpose of Wei Xing's coming, but he didn't speak, why did she lower her status and ask herself?

Even if she likes him, she can't completely lose her dignity.

Zhou Mi'er also noticed the movements of the two, and couldn't help but laugh secretly, these two people are here to be funny, right?

Wei Shao felt that he had no face, so he kicked each of the two under the table, cleared his throat and asked, "Second Brother Yan has been picking for a while, but can you pick the one you like?" ”

Zhao Yan endured the throbbing pain on his calf, glared at Wei Shao and Wei Xing without a trace, and then smiled gently: "The jewelry of the Jinyin Building is worthy of its name, it is indeed exquisite, and I am dazzled by the picking." ”

He lowered his eyes and swept over the table, took out two pieces of jewelry at random, and continued: "These two are good, I wonder if there is a complete set of big heads?" Preferably ruby and purple jade. ”

An Ruolan looked at Wan Sanniang, Wan Sanniang bowed her head and said: "Yes, please wait a while for Zhao Gongzi, the slave family will go and get it." ”

Wan Sanniang turned around and went out, and Zhao Yan picked and chose among a pair of jewelry in a pretentious manner.

In fact, he had already prepared a congratulatory gift for his mother, but in order to help his brother, he didn't care about spending an extra sum of money. And the jewelry in the gold and silver building is indeed exquisite, and it is not bad to give some to the queen mother to please her.

An Ruolan and Zhou Mi'er sat aside, occasionally Zhao Yan asked their opinions, they opened their mouths to say a few words, and the rest of the time they didn't say much, but they were guarded and punished, and they didn't open their mouths from beginning to end.

After sitting for a while, the private rooms were suddenly knocked, but it was not Wan Sanniang who came back.

A young man in Tsing Yi came in, lowered his head and said, "Young Master, there is a young lady who claims to be your cousin, and a young lady surnamed Qin came to the store, saying that he was looking for Young Master Wei. ”

A young lady with the surname Qin?

An Ruolan looked at Wei Xing and immediately thought of Qin Yiqing.

Aware of her sweeping gaze, Wei Xing's heart jumped for no reason. R1152
