After arranging the three of them, Zhen Yu said goodbye and went to inform his mother, Mrs. Zhen.

The kung fu servant, who had less than a cup of tea, came forward and said respectfully: "Madame, please Mr. Liu move to the flower hall for a while." "The little girl is not very old, but he is clever, especially since he was a child, he has been exposed to the Zhen family, and he naturally understands that the person in front of him is a very person, otherwise how could the housewife meet in the flower hall, so he behaves respectfully and respectfully, and is extremely courteous.

"Lead the way!"

The three of them were about to go with the little guy, but the little guy suddenly stopped, with indescribable embarrassment on his face, and said with a red face: "Mr. Liu, this is ...... This ......" He was anxious but didn't dare to confide the truth, just stood here and for a long time, and actually held back his straightforward face, but he didn't say a word.

"How?"

Liu Lan looked at him and said unhappily: "If you have something to say, why is this!" ”

The little guy was like being amnestied, and with a smile on his face, he said, "Madam said, Mr. Liu can go alone!" ”

"I see!"

Liu Lan turned to Zhang and Xu, nodded to show that he didn't have to worry, and then went with him.

The flower hall in the mouth of the little maid is a pavilion in the garden of Zhenfu, and it took a quarter of an hour to arrive all the way.

The area of the garden is very wide, and there are various kinds of vegetation planted in it, and there are unknown famous flowers everywhere competing with each other, as if the world of flowers and the ocean of paintings are in front of you. The noise of cooing insects makes the garden feel extra lively.

Liu Lan walked with the little girl in the garden, and there were several girls playing next to a yellow trough bamboo forest in the distance, some catching butterflies and some picking flowers. There are people who stand there and giggle, so it's not lively.

It's just that when they saw the two of them, they were both shy. In just an instant, the bamboo forest, which was still noisy before, suddenly overflowed quietly.

The two walked to the lake in the backyard. I saw that there was a pavilion in the distance of the pond, but at this time the family sang a song, but only retreated. And he came to the pavilion alone, the pavilion has a level, the level is several zhang high, you must climb the level and the top can enter the pavilion.

Looking up, how can I see the situation in the pavilion, I don't dare to go upstairs recklessly, and I don't know if there is anyone in the pavilion. shouted loudly: "Mrs. Zhen can be in the pavilion, the boy Liu Lan asks to see me!" ”

He shouted a few times in succession, although the voice was not too high, but he was sure that if there was someone in the hall, he would be able to hear it, but there was silence all around, presumably there was no one in the hall, after all, she was the mother-in-law, how could there be a mother-in-law and other sons-in-law, he wanted to just wait. But for some reason, he shouted again: "Since Madame has invited distinguished guests to come, why don't you come out and see it if you are in the pavilion!" ”

I just had the attitude of trying, but I didn't expect that as soon as the words fell, I heard Zhen Yu's voice sound: "Liu Xianjun, come up quickly!" ”

At the same time, a soft-spoken female voice sounded: "Distinguished guest? A small Xiangping order. Hmph, if you go to the homes of ordinary people, you may be able to call yourself a distinguished guest, but in my Zhen Mansion, I am afraid it may not be! The woman's voice was gentle and sweet. But saying it in a strange voice made him chuckle in his heart, and the secret trip really wouldn't go well.

Liu Lan just shouted for the first time. Zhen Yu was about to respond, but was stopped by his mother. She originally wanted to dry Liu Lan first, extinguish his sharpness, and give him a dismount, not wanting to hear him claim to be a distinguished guest, and let her come out to meet, so she asked Zhen Yu to call him into the pavilion, wanting to see what this arrogant Xiangping Ling looked like, and could abduct his baby daughter.

It seems that Mrs. Zhen has a very bad attitude towards me! However, he had come to ask for directions by throwing stones, and he didn't expect to gain anything, so he chuckled and entered the lakeside pavilion. There is a stone platform in the pavilion, and a woman with an extraordinary temperament is sitting on the first stone pier on the stone platform, and Zhen Yu is standing behind it.

Liu Lan walked towards the pavilion, while peeking at the woman on the stone pier, her face was veiled, hazy and difficult to see her face, but from the eyebrows could still make him sure that the person in front of him must be a beautiful stunner, although the woman had crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, her skin was still fair, like a girl in the word pavilion.

Zhen Yu waited for Liu Lan to come in, and then politely arched his hand and said, "Liu Xianjun, this is my mother!" ”

Since it was Mrs. Zhen's invitation, how could he not guess her identity, but Liu Lan didn't expect Mrs. Zhen to be so young, in his heart she should be an old woman like 'She Taijun', but how could he have expected that it was a charming, so she stepped forward and respectfully saluted her.

Taking advantage of Liu Lan's ceremony, Mrs. Zhen looked away, and the person in front of her was not the kind of handsome boy who was a beautiful boy as she imagined, but a rough and heroic man, with a face like a crown of jade and a goat's beard, and a pair of eagle eyes would accidentally reveal a 'cunning' gaze.

If what impressed Mrs. Zhen was his long hands, she was sure that this was the longest pair of hands he had ever seen, and she didn't return the salute, but said lightly, "You are Liu Lan?" I don't know why Liu Xianjun came to my Zhongshan Zhen house? ”

"It's just not talented." Liu Lan stood aside, respectful, old man, he had to pretend to be a man, and replied: "The kid came to Zhongshan, not for it, but for Zhen Mansion alone!" "It can be seen that Mrs. Zhen has a great prejudice against him, no need to ask, it must be because of his relationship with Zhen Jiang, in this case, it is better to mention to Mrs. Zhen euphemistically that it is better to boldly make the facts, it may not be without a chance, otherwise he will be kicked out of the house before he says anything?

Mrs. Zhen was slightly surprised, a person like Liu Lan, who has been an official for several years, will inevitably knock on the side, but unexpectedly she went straight to the point, immediately disrupted her steps, her face changed slightly, and said: "I don't know who Liu Xianjun is here for my Zhen Mansion, my Zhen family business is small, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the eyes of the county gentleman, Liu Xianjun still don't want to make the old woman happy!" ”

Liu Lan shook his head slowly and said, "How dare the kid make Mrs. happy, the kid came to Zhongshan not for anything else but to propose to Mrs. and marry Miss Zhen Jiang!" ”

"Liu Lan, Liu Lan, you are really shameless!" Mrs. Zhen changed color, staring at him with anger in her eyes, and said shamelessly: "There is an old saying: if you don't wait for your parents' orders, the words of the matchmaker, peep through the holes, and follow the wall, your parents and people will be cheap." Speaking of this, he snorted heavily, and said, "You don't look for a matchmaker to come, but you ...... yourself" said this, but he didn't go on anymore. I think Liu Lan will also understand the meaning of her words.

She didn't know that Liu Lan came through time, and she didn't know anything about feudal etiquette. This time, he came to Zhongshan on a temporary basis, if he discussed with others. You can't do such a reckless thing.

Looking at the expression on Liu Lan's face, but he was disapproving, Mrs. Zhen snorted secretly, this person was really shameless, and said angrily: "My daughter has already promised to marry others, Liu Xianjun should please go back!" ”

Liu Lan didn't move the slightest, how could he just leave, his expression was serious, and he said: "Mrs. Zhen, it's not that the kid didn't think about finding a matchmaker, but the kid knows in his heart that no matter who comes, Mrs. will not agree." That's why the kid braved the world's disapproval, even if he would be laughed at by the world, the kid was willing, not for anything else, because Jiang Er is my wife, even if she is already engaged to someone, it can't change the fact, for Jiang Er, even if I die, I have no regrets. What's more, it is ridiculed by the world! ”

"Hugh has ruined Jiang Er's reputation by talking nonsense, I have already said it, I will not agree, Liu Xianjun better not bother himself!" Mrs. Zhen frowned slightly. He snorted coldly and said, "Liu Xianjun, please go back, if you continue to entangle, my Zhen Mansion is not a place where anyone can be presumptuous if they want to!" ”

Mrs. Zhen has already said that it is extremely serious. But how could Liu Lan give up easily: "Hugh is a kid talking nonsense, Jiang Er and I have mutual affection, and we have Beiji laymen as protection." The sun and the moon are proof, how can Madame let me give up on me, as Madame said? We have a deep relationship. Mrs. naturally understood, and wanted to be a Beiji layman......"

"Hugh is in vain!"

Mrs. Zhen didn't think that Liu Lan would mention Beiji in front of her, so she hurriedly interrupted him, and naturally didn't dare to let him mention it in front of her son Zhen Yu when she was young, so she turned back to Zhen Yu and said, "You step down first, I have something to talk about to Liu Xianjun alone!" ”

"This ......"

Zhen Yu also knew the name of the Beiji monk, although he knew that he was his mother's best friend, but he didn't know the specific situation, at this time, listening to Liu Lan's tone, he seemed to know the hidden situation, and he was curious, he didn't want his mother to give him an eviction order, he didn't want to leave, but when he saw his mother's increasingly ugly look, he could only walk out of the pavilion step by step.

It wasn't until Zhen Yu left that Mrs. Zhen sighed slightly: "Is that bad old man matching you?" "She has been married to Zhen Mansion as a woman for more than 20 years, and she has long lost her original thoughts, in fact, she has never thought of anything since she entered Zhen Mansion.

But she never imagined that it would be this old thing who was the matchmaker for that unfilial girl! looked at Liu Lan and thought that he was also this age when he first met him, and he was the size of his daughter Zhen Jiang.

Thinking of this, he was shocked, it must be because of this that he will match the two of them! Ten years later, he still ...... me?"

Mrs. Zhen didn't dare to continue thinking about it, although it was not like the widowhood after Song Ming at this time, but in the general big family, such as Liu Xiang's female biography and Ban Zhao's female ring, they are all must-read books, and he has been so strict with himself for more than ten years, so he doesn't dare to think about it. Besides, she and his late husband respect each other like guests, and the young son and daughter are still very young and need her to take care of them, and the Zhen family still has such a big family business......

Hurriedly interrupting these strange thoughts, Mrs. Zhen found that her heart was beating faster and faster, and it took a long time to regain her composure, and said, "Can you tell me how the old man fulfilled the two of you?" ”

I didn't expect the method of Beiji Jushi to be really spiritual, it seems that there is a play! Liu Lan thought so in his heart, but replied truthfully, saying, "Jiang Er and I are ......."

Mrs. Zhen waved her hand to interrupt Liu Lan and said, "I'm asking about the old man!" I already know the ins and outs of you, but I don't know what happened in Xuwu, you tell me! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The moment Zhen Jiang's Zi car stopped in front of the gate of Zhen's mansion, the maiden and the woman who got the news and the others rushed out of the mansion. As the jingle sound sounded in the car, the curtain of the car was lifted by the two little maids, and Zhen Jiang slowly walked out of the carriage.

Immediately, the big and small girls took out bedding and other things from the car one after another, as well as yaoqin, copper lamps, copper mirrors, and incense burners, all of which were readily available, just like moving. There were bumps along the way, Zhen Jiang didn't stay too long, and was surrounded by everyone and returned to the boudoir for the first time, and then everyone dispersed.

Only her personal maid Guo Yuer was with her in the cabinet, from Luoyang to Yangzhai, from Yangzhai to Xuwu, and then went to Linzi to the plain all the way back to Wuji with her, as soon as she entered the house, the little girl was busy preparing food for the young lady, after all, this long journey, must be tired, eat something to make up for it and then rest. ”

Although Zhen Jiang blocked and asked her to rest, the little girl insisted and finally compromised, and soon the little girl entered the house with baked cakes, bait cakes and rice porridge, and the Han Dynasty collectively called pasta cakes: flatten the seasoned dough to a round and flat shape, and then put it on the oven to bake until crispy is called baked cake; Fermenting rice flour or flour with sugar, and steaming dates, chestnuts, sesame seeds, etc. on a retort pot to make a muffin cake is called bait (Yangxiong's "Dialect": "Bait is a cake").

After Zhen Jiang ate some casually, he said, "Yu'er, you step down, I'm going to rest!" ”

Waved Guo Yu'er away, Zhen Jiang got on the couch and prepared to rest, and Guo Yu'er was about to push the door out of the room when she didn't want the door to be pushed open from the outside, which startled her, but she had been in the Zhen Mansion for so long, so she naturally knew that such a frizzy person in the Zhen Mansion must be a little son, and sure enough, as soon as Zhen Yao entered the house, he shouted: "Sister, sister, I met three weirdos just now!" He took out your jade pendant and said that you gave it to him! ”

"What?"

Guo Yu'er closed the door and retreated as early as the moment Zhen Yao entered the house, at this moment there were only Zhen Jiang's sisters and brothers in the house, and when she heard someone holding her jade pendant, Zhen Jiang, who thought of him for the first time, was shocked, sat up, and looked at her younger brother in disbelief: "Little brother, what did you just say?" ”

Zhen Yao said it again, Zhen Jiang came back to his senses, and asked anxiously: "He didn't say what his name was?" Where are you now? Third brother, say it quickly! ”

"What does it seem like Liu?"

Zhen Yao searched in his memory, but he couldn't think of anything for a while, but he heard Zhen Jiang say in a trembling voice: "Isn't it, isn't it called Liu Lan?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's Liu Lan!"

After hearing this name again, it immediately evoked the memory in Zhen Yao's mind, and said, "The eldest brother has brought him to the mansion, and it seems that he is now meeting his mother in the garden pavilion!" ”

Hearing this, Zhen Jiang's face was already flushed, of course she knew what Liu Lan was here for, but she couldn't have imagined that he would come so soon, didn't he say that he would come after the battle? How......

Her face was getting redder and redder, and she wondered if her mother would refuse, but she was sure that it would be difficult to get her mother to agree......

If her mother agreed, thinking of this, Zhen Jiang would already be very ashamed, and by then she and Liu Lan would ...... I was excited and happy in my heart, and I thought a lot, especially when I thought that I could give birth to a child for her Deran in the future, and my heart was pounding with excitement, but soon, another voice remembered that she instantly felt helpless, if that was the case, what should she do? (To be continued......)
