The two men stood in silence in the study, neither of them speaking first.

For a long time, Lu Zhe didn't know what he thought, and suddenly slapped the folding fan in his hand twice in his palm, and his expression suddenly became a little excited.

He suddenly said loudly, "I'm paying attention! ”

"What?" Gu Zhixing came back to his senses violently and looked at him with some puzzlement.

Lu Zhe paused slightly, pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "Do you remember what day the prince passed two days?" ”

"Two days?" Gu Zhixing subconsciously thought about it: "Ah Mian's birthday doesn't seem to be on these two days......"

Lu Zhe suddenly held his breath in his chest, and felt a little speechless for a while.

It's a shame to be a brother for so many years......

"Lord Wang, two days will be my birthday." Lu Zhe reminded weakly.

Gu Zhixing suddenly realized: "Oh, it turned out to be your birthday, but what do you want?" I sent someone to buy it. ”

"I don't think of anything." Lu Zhe shook his head: "But this year's birthday is not going to be a big deal, the prince might as well call Su Mian and the three of us to have a meal together." ”

"It's just the three of us?" Gu Zhixing asked rhetorically.

"Yes." Lu Zhe's tone was categorical: "This matter is so decided, with more opportunities for contact, the prince can also hold the beauty as soon as possible." ”

Unexpectedly, he was for himself, Gu Zhixing was slightly stunned: "There is only one birthday a year, you don't have to ...... it"

"It doesn't matter." Lu Zhe interrupted him: "It would be a good thing if the prince and Su Mian could be reconciled, otherwise I wouldn't have planned to have any birthday." ”

How is it more important to celebrate your birthday than to stop you from attacking the Northern Yuan and then destroying the Western Sage?!

Lu Zhe insisted on having dinner with the three of them on his birthday, but Gu Zhixing couldn't resist him, so he had to agree.

Gu Zhixing was afraid that he would not agree to invite Su Mian in person, so he asked Lu Zhe to invite Su Mian.

"Your birthday?" Su Mian was watering the flowers in the courtyard with nothing to do, and when he heard Lu Zhe finish his intention, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Yes, three days later, at noon, Yiphang." Lu Zhe nodded, and then wanted to explain again: "It wasn't the prince who asked me to come." ”

"......" Su Mian was silent, but she didn't rush to refuse.

Lu Zhe had always had a bad relationship with him because of General Lu's affairs, and now he is willing to invite him to go on his birthday, which must be an opportunity to turn hostility into friendship.

What's more, he had planned to find out the truth about General Lu's death.

After thinking for a while, Su Mian nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll be there." ”

With her words, Lu Zhe stayed for a short time and reminded her that she must arrive, so he left.

Su Mian watched Lu Zhe leave, and secretly pondered, since I have decided to attend Lu Zhe's birthday, then I can't go empty-handed, right?

What is the right birthday gift for him?

Su Mian turned around and went back to the house, poured herself a cup of tea, sat at the table and thought carefully.

After thinking about it all night, early the next morning, Su Mian carefully packed up and planned to go out.

"Miss Su is going out?" A servant girl asked.

Afraid that Su Mian would be unhappy, the subordinates in the house changed their minds in front of Su Mian and stopped calling her princess.

Su Mian nodded: "Well, help me prepare a carriage." ”

"Okay, Miss Su, wait a minute, the slave will send someone to buy it." The maid nodded, turned around and walked out of the courtyard, and turned around and entered Gu Zhixing's residence.

Gu Zhixing was practicing his sword when he saw the maid from Su Mian's courtyard come in and stopped moving.

"Lord Wang." The maid knelt down in front of Gu Zhixing: "The princess said that she would go out and let the slave and maid buy a carriage." ”

"Out of the house?" Gu Zhixing paused slightly, thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Well, go ahead, remember to soften the mat in the carriage." ”

"Yes." The handmaid took the command and departed.

Gu Zhixing turned around and went back to the room to change his clothes, and walked out of the palace without looking back.

The carriage that Su Mian asked for was quickly arranged, and before going out, several maidservants accompanied her to the door.

"Miss Su, be careful." A handmaid helped her into the carriage.

Gu Zhixing hid in the dark, watching the carriage of the palace move slowly, and then followed silently, he naturally couldn't rest assured that Su Mian would go out alone, but he didn't want her to be unhappy, so he had to protect her in secret.

"Where in the city can I buy fans? Be of high quality. Su Mian was a little bored sitting in the car, and suddenly opened the curtain and talked to the driver who was driving.

The coachman was a native of the city, and replied without hesitation: "Miss Huisu, if you want to buy a fan, you must go to Wenmoxuan in the city." ”

"Wen Moxuan......" went through these three words in his mouth, and Su Mian smiled with satisfaction, "Okay!" Then let's go to Wenmoxuan! ”

As soon as you hear the name, it is a place frequented by literati and artists! There will inevitably be a very valuable fan!

Gu Zhixing followed the carriage of the palace all the way, and when he saw the carriage stopped at the door of Wen Moxuan, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows interestingly.

It turns out that Mian is coming here?

But she has never been interested in literati calligraphy and painting, what is she doing here?

Gu Zhixing found a place in the teahouse opposite Wen Moxuan with great interest and sat down, he stared at Wen Moxuan's door with some puzzlement.

On the other end, Su Mian had just stepped into the store, and a warm boss greeted her: "This girl looks at Miansheng, it should be the first time to come to me, right?" Don't know what you want to see? ”

Su Mian's footsteps paused slightly, looked around the store, and couldn't help nodding in his heart, it was really a good place! As soon as you enter, you can feel the strong literati atmosphere!

"Boss, is there a beautifully painted fan here?" Su Mian asked.

"Naturally, there is." The boss nodded: "I don't know what the girl likes?" ”

"Well, I don't know much about ......" Su Mian smiled a little embarrassedly: "I want to buy it for a ...... My friend took it as a birthday gift, and I bothered my boss to introduce it to me. ”

"I see." The boss suddenly realized: "That girl, please come with me." ”

"How does the girl look at this fan?" The boss brought Su Mian to a pair of fans.

Su Mian didn't know much about this, so she only took a cursory glance, and only felt that the plum blossoms on the fan were quite good-looking.

"This fan is painted by the predecessors, although it is not priceless, but it is also rare, if the girl's friend is a knowledgeable person, you can see the chic and painting of this fan at a glance." The boss was trying to sell it.

Su Mian decided to take another look: "Is there anything else?" ”

"Of course, there is, the girl comes with me."

The boss took Su Mian to look at a few more fans, but after looking around, Su Mian was not too satisfied, so he had to return to the plum blossom fan.

"After looking around, I still think this is the most suitable." Su Mian stretched out her finger and pointed to the fan, hesitated for a moment, and then made a decision: "That's it." ”。

"Okay, then the girl will pick a fan bone with me." The boss took Su Mian and walked to the other side.

After tossing for a long time, Su Mian finally settled on a plum blossom folding fan with Xiangfei bamboo as the fan bone.

"Wait a little here, girl, and I'll send someone to put the fan on." Su Mian paid money happily, and the boss knew that she was definitely not an ordinary girl just by looking at her clothes, and she was very attentive.

Su Mian sat on the chair used for the guests on the side, and before the pot of tea was finished, the boss had already walked out with a rectangular brocade gift box.

"Girl, your fan."

Su Mian stretched out his hand to take it, opened the box and looked at it, the carefully selected fan surface plus the fan bones of Xiangfei bamboo, plum blossoms and bamboo, put together really looked a higher level.

"What's wrong with the girl?" The boss asked.

"No, it's pretty." Su Mian smiled: "Thank you boss today, if he needs anything else in the future, I will come again." ”

took the fan out of the door, Su Mian was in a good mood.

Lu Zhe basically never leaves the fan in his hand on weekdays, I hope he can see the folding fan he chose......

Gu Zhixing sat in the teahouse for a long time, and as soon as he saw Su Mian coming out, he hurriedly followed, until he saw Su Mian turn around and enter the courtyard, and then returned to his dormitory.

Thinking of Su Mian's happy appearance when he came out of Wen Moxuan with the brocade box, Gu Zhixing couldn't help but shake his head amusedly.

If I guessed correctly, Ah Mian should have gone to Wenmo to choose a birthday gift for Lu Zhe? I don't know what that girl bought after staying in it for so long, and she would be so happy?

On the other end, Su Mian had just returned to the dormitory, and Zhihua came up and looked at the thing in her hand with a curious expression: "Miss Su, what are you holding in your hand?" ”

"You say this?" Su Mianyang raised the brocade box in his hand: "This is the birthday gift to be prepared for Lu Zhe in two days." ”

Zhihua nodded knowingly: "I see, I wonder if Miss Su can tell the slave maid what to prepare for Lu Gongzi?" ”

"What's wrong with that." Su Mian replied unabashedly: "I prepared a folding fan for him." ”

"Miss Su has a heart." got the answer he wanted, and Zhihua smiled at Su Mian for the first time.

Su Mian was slightly stunned by her smile.

Zhihua can actually laugh? Is this still the Zhihua I know?

"Miss Su, Mama Hua has something to do with looking for a slave over there, so the slave and maid will retreat first." Zhihua said suddenly.

Su Mian came back to his senses: "Huh? Okay, you go get busy. ”

After saluting Su Mian, Zhihua turned around and walked towards the outside of the courtyard, until he came to a very remote wall in the palace, and then stopped.

"How? Got it? Lu Zhe casually leaned against a big tree outside the wall.

Zhihua replied respectfully: "Back to Lu Gongzi, the princess prepared a car to go to Wenmoxuan today, and prepared a pair of fans for Lu Gongzi as a birthday gift." ”

"Fan?" Lu Zhe smiled: "She knows what I like." ”

"Okay, you go back, don't talk about today's events." Dropping a sentence, Lu Zhe turned over and jumped down from the tree, turned around and walked in the direction of the gate of the palace.

Knowing what Su Mian gave herself, then things would be much simpler.

Since you want to talk to the prince about business, it's better to go to the right door in a proper manner.
