Chapter 225: Qingqing
Chu Junlan was silent for a while, and then burst out laughing, laughing wildly.
Xiao Xu looked at Chu Junlan expressionlessly, and if you looked closely, you could find that his eyes were full of puzzlement.
Chu Junlan suppressed his smile for a long time, and said in a good mood: "Okay, I won't ask these questions to embarrass you." Anyway, the marriage was originally the words of the matchmaker of the parents, and it was not the turn of the parties to intervene in person, so it was better to toss with her, hey, let me ask you, when the new princess arrived at your house, did anything interesting happen? ”
She didn't pursue it, Xiao Xu also breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her eyes and thought about it: "It's nothing, it's just that the relationship between the Zhang family and the other ladies in the mansion seems to have become closer." ”
"Do they want to unite with the outside world and deal with the Cai family together?"
"Perhaps." Xiao Xu didn't care about these inner house things.
But Chu Junlan knows that many times the things in the inner house can reflect a lot of realistic information.
"But it doesn't matter, Princess Zhang has been proud for so many years, and now she has someone who can balance her, and let her taste it."
Xiao Xu smiled: "She's already anxious enough." I found a famous doctor who could cure Xiao Yunpeng a little, and her position as a princess was unstable again. She didn't have the heart to put eyeliner next to me these days. ”
"Xiao Yunpeng is alright?"
Xiao Xu shook his head, for this kind of condition, even in the face of Chu Junlan, a doctor, he was reluctant to talk about it in detail, and said instead: "In addition, my people have found out these days that Chu Mengying and Xiao Yunpeng have met four times. Xiao Yunpeng seems to have a good impression of Chu Mengying. ”
Chu Junlan didn't have to think about it to know what Chu Mengying was going to do, shook his head and said, "She's destroying her future." ”
"Are you going to help her?" Xiao Xu asked.
Chu Junlan tilted his head to look at him: "Do you think I look like a saint?" ”
Xiao Xu was silent.
"I'm not that kind, and I can't forget the past, and the reason why I don't pursue it anymore is not to let her go, but to let myself go. It is her freedom to do what she wants, and she chooses that path, whether it is smooth or full of thorns, it is all her choice, and it has nothing to do with me. ”
Chu Junlan approached Xiao Xu and asked with a smile, "Do you think I'm cold-blooded?" ”
Xiao Xu asked rhetorically, "Do you care about my feelings?" ”
Doesn't that seem like the right focus?
Chu Junlan blinked: "I'll ask you first." ”
"No," Xiao Xu said seriously, "You can buy their sister and brother home, it is already benevolent and righteous, and it is already merciful if you don't kill them all." ”
Xiao Xu's answer made Chu Junlan smile with satisfaction, and then said, "Okay, I'm also a little concerned. ”
Xiao Xu reacted for a while before he realized that Chu Junlan was answering his question. A smile slowly crept up the corner of her lips, Xiao Xu involuntarily stretched out her arm, crossed the black lacquer square table and held her hand.
Her hands were several laps smaller than his, their fingers slender and slender, and their skin delicate and smooth. And it was these hands that pressed him against the wall with amazing strength and had no power to fight back, and it was these hands that saved his life with amazing medical skills.
Chu Junlan felt the temperature of the other party's palm, and did not rush to break free, but looked at Xiao Xu with a smile.
The faint light from the clean room into the bedroom allowed Chu Junlan to vaguely see Xiao Xu's expression, who would have thought that the prince of the world was extremely noble in front of people on weekdays, and he looked like a cold person who was not allowed to enter, but he would be so "easy to bully" in private?
"Junlan." Xiao Xu's low voice was magnetic.
"Huh?"
"Sister Lan."
"What?"
"Lan Lan."
“…… Now that they've changed their names, what does the prince want to do? ”
Xiao Xu lowered his eyes, holding the strength of her hand but refused to relax half a point: "I don't like these titles." ”
"Huh?" Chu Junlan's eyes widened in surprise.
Xiao Xu said: "I don't want to call you by the same name as others. ”
"Does the prince want to give me a name?"
Xiao Xu, who finally mustered up the courage to express his heart euphemistically: "......"
Chu Junlan couldn't help but laugh again when he saw that his deflated appearance was very interesting.
Xiao Xu couldn't help but laugh when he saw her laughing.
When Xiao Xu said goodbye, he stood by the back window and whispered in Chu Junlan's ear: "I just want to call you in a way that only I use, not the same as anyone's...... Qingqing. ”
Qingqing is sometimes used as a term of endearment for husbands to their wives.
Chu Junlan's face became hot all of a sudden, and his warm breath sprayed on her ears, which made her ears and neck itch more and more, and she couldn't help but shrink her neck.
Xiao Xu's face was full of hot flashes and quickly pecked Chu Junlan's ear, then turned around and pushed the window and fled.
Raising his hand and touching his hot cheeks, Chu Junlan let out a long breath, and his cheeks puffed out and slapped his face a few times with his hands.
Early the next morning, Chu Junlan came back from Chunhui Garden, and a little maid came outside.
"Back to Miss Lan's words, I just sent a post outside."
As he spoke, he held a fancy pressed invitation in both hands, and stood aside with his head down, waiting for news.
Chu Junlan glanced at it suspiciously, and his face was slightly calm.
Seeing Chu Junlan's expression different, Zi Yan asked worriedly, "Girl, what's wrong?" ”
Chu Junlan said: "It was a post sent by the daughter of the new Ministry of Labor, Wailang Cao, inviting me to attend the gathering of the Tingquan Poetry Society the day after tomorrow, saying that many ladies, including the daughter of Lord Ge's family, would be present. ”
Zi Yan nodded, a little unaware of why Chu Junlan hesitated.
"You go and be polite to some people who send back the post, thank you Miss Cao for your kindness, it's just that I occasionally feel cold, and it's inconvenient to go out, so I will definitely visit another day."
"Yes." The little maid saluted and withdrew.
When the people were far away, Zi Yan asked suspiciously, "Why didn't the girl go?" This is a good opportunity to meet a lot of young women. ”
Chu Junlan snorted lightly and said: "Then Ge Shuyu doesn't know what kind of Hongmen banquet has been set up, I don't bother to take care of her, she likes singing so much, let her sing by herself." ”
Chu Junlan did not comment on the style of Gege's hometown, since he was tired of seeing each other, why did he need to meet and torture himself?
Chu Junlan continued to pick up the needlework and embroider the patterns on the cuffs of the wedding dress.
But in less than half an hour, Mama Guo came to the door with a smile: "Miss Lan." ”
"Mama Guo is here, please come in and sit." Chu Junlan hurriedly put down the needle and thread and got up to greet him.
Mama Guo saluted Chu Junlan and said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, the slave maid is here to invite you to go on behalf of Madame." ”
Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows.
The Xu family had something to do, so they could find a maid to call her over, and it was the first time that Mama Guo came in person.
Chu Junlan couldn't help but start wondering, didn't the Xu family find any way to clean up the Ge family?
Chu Junlan followed Mama Guo all the way to talk, but after a while, he arrived at the main house of Zhiyuanzhai. The maidservant in front of the door diligently lifted the warm curtain for her.
"Mother." Chu Junlan stepped forward quickly and saluted, "Your name is your daughter?" ”
