Deliver a message? Qiao Ran was a little interested in her heart, and said hello with a smile.

However, teaching chess is a long process, Qiao Ran privately thought that it would be a long time before she was estimated to be taught to play chess, plus it would take a long time to understand the endgame news or something, and it would not be done overnight.

While speaking, the carriage had already arrived at the door of Xie's house, Pei Qingqing couldn't wait to jump off the carriage and shouted to eat, and Miss Xu Shi, who looked happy, was only introduced to the gate of Xie's house by the steward, so she asked the familiar steward and asked for a bag of dried fruit snacks to stuff into Pei Qingqing's arms.

Pei Qingqing thanked her and happily took it.

She relied on her cuteness and the peace of mind that she naturally accepted with the snacks obtained from the two dumplings on her head.

It's not the first time Xie Chengze's yard has been back, it should be that Miss Xu Shi has already said it before, and when a few people arrived, Xie Chengze was already waiting at the gate of the courtyard.

Xie Chengze, who hadn't seen him for many days, looked a lot better, but he still looked still wrapped in a cloak and didn't look completely good.

This meal was arranged in Xie Chengze's courtyard, and Miss Xu Shi, along with Qiao Ran and the others, were all relieved.

Although I also know that they just came to visit Chengze, it is far from being enough to be a "distinguished guest of the Xie family", but I am afraid that Mrs. Xie will invite juniors to eat in the main courtyard on a whim, in that case, all the rooms of the Xie family are there, and the banquet is solemn and restrained.

Now there are only a few familiar people who eat together, and they are naturally happy.

Looking at the table full of dishes and dried fruit snacks, Pei Qingqing's smiling mouth never closed.

Qiao Ran glanced at the happy Pei Qingqing, and said with a smile: "Lord Xie seems to have known that Qingqing will come early on. ”

I didn't see such a thing as dried fruit dim sum on Miss Xu Shi, so it can be seen that she is not a person who likes such small snacks in her daily life. And Qiao Ran herself is not very keen on such things, even if Miss Xu Shi said that she would bring her to visit this time, there is no need to prepare so many dishes and dried fruit snacks.

After all, her appetite is not very big, and she doesn't need such a table of dishes at all, but Pei Qingqing is young and has a lot of appetite, so many dishes seem to have known that she would come with her early on.

Xie Chengze glanced at her and said, "I heard that Princess Zhenzhen is back, and according to Xie Zhi's temperament, she will definitely let you take this little girl with her." ”

Qiao Ran paused for a moment before saying, "I see." ”

Pei Qingqing was happy, but no matter what the reason was, she only thanked Chengze for what she had specially prepared for her, so she deliberately ran to Xie Chengze to say thank you, and then beckoned to him and motioned for him to come over with her ear.

A little person is like an adult, and he knows how to whisper.

Qiao Ran and Miss Xu Shi glanced at each other and looked at her with a smile.

It wasn't until Xie Chengze lowered down that he heard Pei Qingqing whisper: "I know what you like......

Xie Chengze's eyes were slightly condensed.

"Miss Qiao went to the mule market a few days ago and bought a rattle for me, and I will give it to you as a gift another day." The little girl said with a straight face and said seriously? "You're treating me to a meal? I'm going to reciprocate the favor. ”

She hasn't forgotten what Xie Chengze likes: such a big person likes rattles!

The rattle is so special, he must like it too!

Xie Chengze looked at her and snorted? Then the crowd was seated.

Xie Jiafan** beautiful? Pei Qingqing is very happy to eat, and she has to ask a question or two from time to time when she encounters something delicious? She asked, Xie Chengze replied? The atmosphere was very good.

Qiao Ran took a sip of the soup in the bowl? Look at the scene in front of you. The seemingly good atmosphere of the meal was actually driven by Pei Qingqing's child, and she didn't have any "fortunately brought Pei Qingqing" to this effect, but just looked at Miss Xu Shi, who was also smiling and drinking soup on the side.

Miss Xu Shi and Xie Chengze...... I don't know why it always makes her feel a strange subtlety that she can't describe.

In all fairness, when she and Zhang Xie were eating? The most talked about is also Pei Qingqing, a girl with a big voice? And this girl also likes to pull her to bite her ears and whisper, and "don't let Zhang Xie know".

But even so, even if she and Zhang Xie can't speak, this feeling is still different.

Such an embarrassing feeling should not be there, after all, Miss Xu Shi and Xie Chengze are childhood sweethearts? The family intermarried, even compared to Xie Chengze? Miss Xu Shi likes more, so it shouldn't be such an embarrassing atmosphere.

Qiao Ran looked at the two people in front of her? The two of them rarely seem to make eye contact, and even if they do? They quickly looked away from each other. Xie Chengze moved away, maybe he didn't like Miss Xu Shi so much compared to Miss Xu Shi? But Miss Xu Shi also looked away so quickly...... Qiao Ran was a little puzzled.

But she really doesn't know much about this kind of thing? After all, there are many ways for people to get along with each other in this world, and it is impossible for everyone to be the same as her and Zhang Jie.

After drinking tea after the meal, after talking for a while, Pei Qingqing saw Miss Xu Shi's eyes, and hurriedly covered her stomach with a "yes" and ran out.

Qiao Ran, who watched such a clumsy performance, couldn't help but hold his forehead, fortunately, Xie Chengze is not a person who likes to tear down the stage, his eyes flashed, he looked at Miss Xu Shi on the side, and said, "Ah Yuan, you don't seem to have taken medicine yet." ”

Medicine? Qiao Ran was a little surprised, and her eyes couldn't help but fall on Miss Xu Shi on the side.

Miss Xu Shi smiled at her and said, "It's an old problem, I have had heart palpitations since I was a child, but it's not a big deal to pay attention to it after being treated by the imperial doctor." ”

Qiao Ran let out an "oh", nodded, and subconsciously looked at Xie Chengze on the side.

She seemed to notice that Xie Chengze was looking at her, but when Qiao Ran looked back at him, he looked away again.

This doesn't seem to be quite the same as you imagined! Qiao Ran thought to herself.

Miss Xu Shi entered the door with her empty-handed, and she didn't smell the smell of medicine on her, thinking that most of Miss Xu Shi's original plan was to use the excuse of taking medicine to support Xie Chengze later, but now it was Xie Chengze who reminded her.

Pushing himself apart, it can be seen that Xie Chengze has already guessed what they are going to do...... Qiao Ran sighed in her heart: Xu Hexiu is still not as meticulous as Xie Chengze in the end.

But now is not the time to dwell on this, seeing Miss Xu Shi and Xie Chengze leave, Qiao Ran turned her head to look at the house.

The first thing she saw was the freshly poured tea on the table, just ordinary tea, not green plum tea.

The stack of books that Xie Chengze borrowed from the treasury of Dali Temple was not placed on the Bogu shelf and bookshelf where the objects were placed in the house, but on Xie Chengze's pillow.

Qiao Ran walked around the screen and walked to Xie Chengze's bed and squatted down, then picked up one of them and flipped it up.

The more she watched it, the more fascinated she became, even with Xie Chengze's active cooperation and Pei Qingqing's stomachache that never returned, she couldn't read it for too long, but the number of books was not small, and she also needed to record the content of each book she read, I have to say that this is a very mind-consuming thing.

Unconsciously, the books she had read in her hand had been stacked up, Qiao Ran looked at the only three books left, and was about to reach out to take them, when she suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside, and before she could react, she couldn't help but sneeze with the fragrance that came to her face.

At this moment, the person who broke in from outside the door had already walked out from behind the screen.

Surrounded by pearls and emeralds. This was Qiao Ran's first reaction when she saw someone coming, although she only had time to take a look, but she vaguely remembered that it should be a beauty, and when she wanted to raise her eyes to look, the beauty with a floor-length dress surrounded by pearls and emeralds on her head had already sneered.

"Dali Temple official robe, it seems that you are the country girl surnamed Qiao." There was a bit of arrogance in the woman's voice, and without waiting for Qiao Ran to speak, she continued to speak, "Come on, lift her up and let the palace see what kind of life it looks like to make our high-minded Zhang Tianshi like it so much?" ”

Originally, it was just a guess, but when the woman's next sentence appeared, Qiao Ran's face changed suddenly, and she instinctively reached out and wanted to touch the waist card in her sleeve.

His Majesty did not take back the brand he gave her in order to facilitate her to investigate the case and go in and out of any place, but he did not let her use the card to bully others, of course she understood this. But in the face of ruthless and unreasonable people, she doesn't mind using it to protect herself.

It's just that before she could touch the waist card, her hands were restrained by the two maids who suddenly appeared.

When she saw one of the maids, Qiao Ran was stunned.

If she remembered correctly, didn't she come forward to buy the handmaid of the beautiful bearded boy in the city of Mule and Horse?

In this way, it seems that the one who was in the sedan chair in the mule and horse market that day was this princess who was dressed in complicated palace clothes.

I didn't expect to see her so early, Qiao Ran was in a somewhat complicated mood, she looked at the woman in front of her: although the head full of pearls and emeralds is a little complicated, but I have to say that such a complicated outfit is just right for her, aside from her own domineering, this is really a bit of a noble beauty.

As Xu Hexiu said, she is indeed good-looking, but her extravagance is not rude, and even the most noble son of heaven in the world does not have such an uncomfortable arrogant atmosphere.

The real princess walked up to Qiao Ran and raised her chin to squint at her.

"It's just a country girl with a bit of emptiness," Princess Zhenzhen sneered, compared to Chang'an, where is it not a foreign country? In addition, I heard that no one wants it, she has grown up in the countryside since she was a child, what can she be if she is not a country girl? She stretched out her hand painted with a gorgeous dankou to lift Qiao Ran's chin, and when she looked at the girl intently at her eyes, she seemed to be stunned for a moment, but she quickly sneered, "It's true that Mu Ne is sluggish as rumored, but it's actually full of bad thoughts." ”

looked at Mu Ne sluggishly, but he was actually full of bad thoughts. No matter how you look at it, this is not a good word. However, Qiao Ran didn't expect to hear any good words from her mouth, but just said quietly: "Princess Zhenzhen, you let go of me." ”

No matter what means this true princess used to return to Beijing, at least at this moment, His Majesty's waist card of "Ru I am here" has not been taken back, so let alone one real princess, she is not afraid of ten real princesses.

A simple sentence made the real princess furious: "What are you? Dare to call yourself 'me' in front of this palace? ”

Without waiting for her to react, she slapped her and threw it up.

Everything happened too suddenly, that is, when she saw her raise her hand with long sharp nails, Qiao Ran was too late to speak, seeing that the slap was about to fall on her face, the pain and even the stinging sensation caused by the long pointed nails cutting her face did not appear.

Qiao Ran was stunned, and soon opened his eyes, but saw that Xie Chengze appeared at some point, he was restraining Princess Zhenzhen's raised hand at this time, he didn't look at Qiao Ran, only turned his back to her and said to Princess Zhenzhen: "Princess Zhenzhen just wants to be presumptuous, and she shouldn't run to Xie's house to be presumptuous." ”

"You ......" Princess Zhenzhen's raised hand moved, as if she wanted to break free from Xie Chengze's shackles, but it was obvious that even Xie Chengze, who was still recuperating, had the strength in her hand that she could not break free from as a pampered woman.

"It's just ignoring the face of my Xie family, and she's not something you can move." Xie Chengze said and let go of Princess Zhenzhen's raised hand, turned to face Qiao Ran, who was restrained, bowed his head and said "offended" and reached out to touch the bag on her sleeve, and then quickly took out a waist card from her sleeve pocket.

When she saw the waist card, Princess Zhenzhen's face changed suddenly, and the two maids who restrained Qiao Ran's arms were also immediately startled, and instinctively let go of their hands.

"The princess is not the only one who has the grace of the emperor." Xie Chengze said and turned around to return the waist card to Qiao Ran, and said lightly, "Next time you can hang this waist card on your waist, there is always no eye that you can't see." ”

Finger Sang scolded Huai!

Princess Zhenzhen is irritable and irritable, and when she heard this obvious sentence, she immediately became angry: "Xie Chengze, you dare to say this about me, do you know my ......?"

"My surname is Xie, why don't I dare?" Xie Chengze still looked at Qiao Ran, didn't turn around, just tilted his head slightly, "Princess Zhenzhen, compared to her, your imperial grace seems to be a little bit wrong." In this world, no matter whether people or things come from the wrong way, they will inevitably eat themselves, and you will do it yourself. ”

In a word, the real princess was speechless.

After a pause, Princess Zhenzhen's hand trembled at Xie Chengze, and she said a cruel word: "Okay, Xie Chengze, you wait for me!" After saying that, he turned around and flicked his sleeves to leave, but a voice rang out at this time.

"Wait!"

The moment ago, he was accused of scolding Huai but couldn't attack, when he was full of anger, but at this moment, he was suddenly called "and slow".

Princess Zhenzhen turned her head angrily, and then faced the waist card that was enlarged in front of her eyes.

As if I were there.

Today, I inexplicably ate and remembered because of this waist card! Princess Zhenzhen's face turned blue, and the girl opposite seemed to be afraid that she would not be able to see clearly, so she "kindly" raised the sign forward, and then slowly withdrew the sign after seeing her ugly face clearly.

The girl still had the same attentive eyes and the same calm tone when she saw her, and she said loudly: "When you were about to beat me, Princess Fang Zhenzhen, I saw a flash of dark blue in your nails, was it soaked in medicine or poisoned?" ”

Princess Zhenzhen's face turned pale.

But before she could speak, the girl she called "countryman" on the other side spoke again: "I'm curious about Princess Zhenzhen, do you quench your nails every day when you go out, or do you know that I'm here early in the morning and came here specifically to harm me?" ”

The girl still had a calm appearance of "Mu Ne sluggish" in her eyes, she looked quietly, but her mouth was sharply different from the appearance of "Mu Ne Sluggish": "So you took this trip today to disfigure me or to kill me?" ”
